Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 134 [Voices from Merchants]

Duan Muze sat in the main hall of the General's Mansion with a bitter expression on his face.

He is just a veterinarian, and Lu Bu asked him to promote [castrated] pigs, that is, [porcupine pigs] breeding.But let him take a group of people to build pig farms in various counties, which made him embarrassed.

To be honest, as a veterinarian, he thinks he is qualified, but he really finds it difficult to build a pig farm and raise pigs. He has never raised pigs himself.

In desperation, Duanmuze also moved his family to Panyu City. Someone in the family knew how to raise pigs, which made him a little relieved.

Now that he encountered some problems, he had to ask the general Lu Bu for instructions.

After Lu Bu arrived, he knew what problems Duanmuze had encountered. One was that there were not many veterinarians who knew how to castrate pigs; the other was that there were generally pig raising families who were afraid of taking the risk and expensive cost of castrating pigs; The third is that there are not enough manpower to build pig farms, and the source of piglets is not enough, which cannot reach the scale that Lu Bu said before.

Regarding these problems, Lu Bu thought for a while, and came up with a rough solution, and said: "The general will take some measures as soon as possible to encourage the breeding of [porcupine pigs], such as: buying [porky pigs] at a high price, and paying attention to the problems caused by going to the market." Corresponding compensation will be provided for losses caused by castration; in addition, certain rewards will be given to veterinarians who know how to castrate pigs.”

"In addition, how many people do you need? Although recruiting in various counties, this general will give you the relevant documents and the money you need. To recruit people, the commission provided can be higher, so that more people can be recruited."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu looked at Duan Muze who was standing respectfully in front, and asked, "Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Duan Muze nodded, and replied: "It is enough to have such an arrangement with the general, and the younger one will do his best to do what the general has asked him to do well."

What Lu Bu said was very simple to him.But for Duanmuze, it was simply impossible. Without the decentralization and assistance of the general Lu Bu, it would be difficult for him to complete the task.

As for whether sweet potato vines can be fed to pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, Duanmuze has arranged for people to try it.As a result, as Lu Bu said before, this kind of sweet potato vine is very popular with livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep.

Lu Bu also warned before that when feeding sweet potato vines to livestock, they need to cut them into one or two inches long with a knife, and at the same time feed them with coarse health.

For piglets, in order to avoid diarrhea, the sweet potato vines need to be cooked and fed.

Based on his own experience as a veterinarian, Duan Muze has carefully understood that if sweet potato vines are fed to piglets, if they are not cooked, it is easy to cause diarrhea.

He didn't know why Lu Bu knew so much about sweet potato vines, but the fast-growing sweet potato vines were likely to become the main food for livestock in the future.If it is promoted, more people can afford to raise livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep.

At that time, every family often had meat to eat, and it was not a luxury.

But Duanmuze always had a problem. He couldn't figure out why Lu Bu, a great general, wanted to build a pig farm, and it was necessary for all three counties to build pig farms.

In fact, Lu Bu's intentions are very simple. One is to not waste so many sweet potato vines, and the other is to raise pigs with this condition, which can also provide meat for more than [-] soldiers.

As for whether you can drive other people to feed [guinea pig] afterwards, it depends on the situation.I believe that since ancient times, people have liked to follow suit, and would learn to imitate as long as it is beneficial to them. Such a custom may bring some benefits.

After Duan Muze left, Lu Bu continued to go back to the study to deal with matters.

Until, his daughter came to him and said that he wanted to go shopping in the street.

Lu Bu was able to satisfy his daughter's little wish.Things are done bit by bit, not overnight.

So, Lu Bu put down what he was doing, took his daughter and three soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion, and pretended to be the General's Mansion.

Panyu City is not big, and its permanent population is only 5 to [-] people.But it is also the largest city in Nanhai County. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Inns, taverns, cloth shops, grain stores, vegetable markets, jewelry stores, pawn shops, tailor shops, stalls, fruit sellers, beggars, etc. are also available.

After all, Lu Lingqi is a ten-year-old girl, she always likes the gadgets sold on the street, strange things and some snacks.

Whatever she wanted, Lu Bu bought it for her on rare occasions when he went shopping with his daughter.Lu Lingqi was very happy and enjoyed this time very much.

Fan Yucheng has seen a lot of generals like Lu Bu, but most of the Lu Bu he saw was the image of a general in armor.Few people recognize Lu Bu who is now pretending to be traveling, and even if someone suspects him, he dare not speak out.

In case it is really a great general, if he gets angry, no one wants to touch this brow, and those who are skeptical will just have doubts in their hearts.

Unknowingly, Lu Bu and others strolled to Zhou Zhang's tavern.

"Would you like to go in and have a look at Zhou Zhang's tavern?" Lu Bu looked at his daughter and asked.

Lu Lingqi looked curiously at the tavern in front of her, which was relatively large, and asked suspiciously, "Is that the tavern of Fatty Zhou's?"

Lu Bu smiled and nodded.

"Is there anything else delicious in it besides wine? If not, forget it." Ever since she was pissed off by liquor last time, Lu Lingqi didn't want to drink another drop of wine.

"There should be." Lu Bu took Lu Lingqi's hand and walked in directly, followed by three soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion.

After entering, I found that the business was quite good, basically full of people.

Zhou Zhang basically doesn't care about the tavern affairs now, and is busy with the baijiu affairs for Lu Bu.The tavern was managed by his father, and Zhou Zhang's father happened to be in the tavern at this time.

Seeing that Lu Bu looked familiar, after a while, he probably must be the general Lu Bu, but he didn't dare to say so, so he had to entertain them personally, and invited Lu Bu and the others to the best room on the second floor, and prepared good wine and food.

Wine, of course not baijiu, without Lu Bu's promise, Zhou Zhang would not dare to sell it in his own tavern without permission.

Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi were alone in the room, protected by three soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion outside.

After a while, there were people in the next room, and there were quite a few people listening to the voice, there should be a dozen or so.

"Brother Li, tell me, when will this general open the checkpoint. He always keeps people out like this, so how can we people who do business with the Central Plains live?"

"Brother, it's useless to be anxious. Now this general is in complete control of Nanhai County, Cangwu County and Hepu County. Without his orders, no one can leave Jiaozhou."

"Have you noticed that there is quite a lot of movement in Panyu City today. Some people saw a lot of troops and vehicles transporting food and grass. Is there going to be a war again?"

"I've also heard that the general is going to attack several other counties in Jiaozhou. I really don't know what the result will be."

"Shhh, keep your voices down. It's best not to talk about this kind of thing. We are merchants, so we can do business with peace of mind."

"Relax? This is in chaos, so you can still do business. The checkpoints in all counties are closed, and you can only go in and out. How can you do business? It's better to go home and farm!"

"People who came to Jiaozhou to take refuge in Jingzhou said that Jingzhou has also begun to be chaotic.

In the next room, a group of people were drinking and talking.

After hearing a general idea, Lu Bu became more curious about what happened in Jingzhou and what happened in the Central Plains.After arriving in Jiaozhou, Lu Bu and the others basically lost contact with the Central Plains.

This is not good, the news is too closed, Lu Bu is thinking about how to deal with it.Suddenly, thinking of these merchants, they can be used.

Lu Lingqi on the side didn't care about these things, but was quite interested in the food on the table, which tasted good.
