Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 255 [Light Accompanied by Darkness]

Jiaozhou, Hepu County, Maoming County and Suixi County.

These two counties were newly established by Lu Bu before, and they were counties without cities. Each county had more than 3 people, half of whom were locals from Jiaozhou, and most of them were refugees from Jingzhou.

In Maoming County, looking around, they are all brand new houses.

These days it is very lively here, many merchants come here to sell items, but more of them come to buy sweet potatoes.

Merchants who bought sweet potatoes mostly bought them and sold them to Jiaozhi County, Yulin County and Jiuzhen County.

But there are also differences. For example, the Department of Agriculture and Zuixian Wine House also sent people to buy sweet potatoes.

The Department of Agriculture is a department under the household department, and it came out to buy sweet potatoes for the General's Mansion.Most of the purchased sweet potatoes were given to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Industry had many projects and hired many workers.The Ministry of War manages 13 soldiers, who have to eat every day, so the demand is not small.

However, for [Zuixian Wine House], they buy sweet potatoes for wine making.The price of sweet potatoes is much lower than that of other grains, and the grain shortage in Jiaozhou cannot meet the growing demand of Zuixian Jiuju.

In addition to these two counties, the agricultural departments of other counties and [Zuixian Wine House] have special sweet potato purchase points.

"Uncle Zhang, you don't regret living in Jiaozhou now, do you?"

"What regrets, nothing. With this sweet potato, there is nothing to worry about!"

Joy can be heard everywhere in the new streets.

The Central Plains people who originally complained about Lv Bu forcing them into Jiaozhou no longer complained. Apart from being a little homesick, they now feel that living here is very good, at least they will not starve to death.

"I heard that the Department of Agriculture has posted a new announcement saying that after the sweet potatoes are harvested, we can plant them again immediately. As long as we apply more fertilizer, we will be able to harvest again in four to five months!"

"I've also heard that people from the Department of Agriculture are still spreading the word that those who don't know how to grow sweet potatoes can sign up, and the Department of Agriculture will send someone to teach them."

"What is this? The Department of Agriculture sells a lot of farm tools to our people cheaply, and we can rent cattle to cultivate land."

"Unfortunately, paddy fields are not suitable for growing sweet potatoes!"

"Don't even think about turning paddy fields into dry land. The Department of Agriculture has issued an announcement that it is forbidden to change paddy fields into dry land. If you are found out, you will be punished. Maybe your land will be confiscated. Then it depends on what you use to grow it. sweet potato."

While enjoying the great harvest, the people in the counties who were notified that they could immediately plant sweet potatoes were too happy to shut their mouths.

Tropical areas are suitable for growing sweet potatoes all year round, although the system unlocked corn seeds for Lu Bu.However, seeing the astonishing production of sweet potatoes, Lu Bu decided to continue planting sweet potatoes in counties in tropical regions and plant corn in other places.

Jiuzhen County, Jiaozhi County, and Hepu County are all suitable for planting sweet potatoes all year round, and the southern areas of the other three counties are also suitable for planting sweet potatoes all year round.

However, sweet potatoes are suitable for planting in dry land and cannot be planted in paddy fields.

Moreover, the system provided Lu Bu with double-cropping rice seeds.Before that, 80.00% of the cultivated land in Jiaozhou was paddy fields, with a total of 600 million mu.

In addition, sweet potatoes cannot be used as a staple food for a long time, so Lu Bu attached great importance to the cultivation of double-cropping rice, and ordered the people to be prohibited from changing paddy fields into dry land, and offenders would be punished severely.

Jiaozhou, Cangwu County, in a certain mountain west of Duanxi County.

"Commander Xia, the bandits in the cottage have surrendered, and the bandit leader died in the battle."

In front of the gate of a dilapidated cottage in the mountains, a soldier from the [Shen Bing Battalion] was reporting the battle situation to Xia Wei.

"Very well, these are the No. 20 bandits we wiped out, there are nothing left of bandits in Duanxi County, let's clean them up.

The captured bandits were escorted back to work by men, and sent to Xin County by women.After that, we are going to another county. "

Xia Wei thought for a while and said.

The Shenbing Battalion now has nearly a thousand people, and nearly 700 of them are newly elected newcomers.

After these newcomers had undergone basic training, Lu Bu arranged for Fu Yong to go to various mountains in Jiaozhou to suppress bandits. Only with real swords and guns can they truly grow after seeing blood.

At the same time, in Duanxi County.

Yi's house, a secret room in the mansion.

"Patriarch Yi, now my brothers are dying or scattered. Now there is no way out. I hope Patriarch Yi will see that I can solve the Qin family's affairs for you and let me stay here for the time being."

A man with a ferocious face and many scars on his face spoke to the Patriarch of the Yi family in a very rude tone.

The Patriarch of the Yi Family smiled and said: "I, Yi, am not a perfidy. Village Master Ren and your brothers may stay here, and when the wind calms down, I will arrange for you to go out."

"Master Yi is indeed a man of temperament, and it is not in vain for me to get rid of dozens of members of the Qin family for you. Don't worry, my brothers and I won't stay here for long, haha."

Ren Xiong is a bandit leader who came to Yi's house to take refuge because he was encircled and suppressed by the Shenbing Battalion and his cottage was destroyed.

"Master Ren was joking, so he will take this place as his family and stay as long as he wants. I'll let people prepare wine and food for you and your brothers." The owner of the Yi family smiled apologetically, looking very afraid of Ren Xiong.

Ren Xiong waved his hand, signaling Patriarch Yi to hurry up and prepare food.

After Patriarch Yi left the secret room, he walked to a remote corner, with a cold light in his eyes, and ordered the housekeeper beside him: "Just do it tonight, and no one will be left alive!"

"Master, don't worry, I'll make arrangements now." The butler left after speaking.

Patriarch Yi sneered, "Qin Yun, Qin Feng, now that the last evidence is about to disappear, what can you do to me?"

Ding Hong, Qin Feng, and Qin Yun jointly investigated the tragedy of the Qin family's extermination. Although they suspected that the Yi family was responsible, they still did not find any evidence.

Jiaozhou, Nanhai County, Panyu County.

At night, a house in the city.

This is the place where Shi Xie, the former prefect of Jiaozhi County, temporarily lived, and it was arranged by Chen Gong.

In a courtyard of the courtyard, Shi Xie was eating roasted sweet potatoes with his children.

Two guests came to the mansion tonight, one was Shi Huang, the former prefect of Cangwu County, and the other was Zhao Kun, the former prefect of Jiuzhen County.

"Hehe. I didn't expect Brother Shi Xie to bring his family to roast sweet potatoes here. It's really fun." Shi Huang said with a smile.

Shi Xie smiled bitterly, and then asked his wife and children to avoid him, and the three of them sat by the campfire.

"I'm old, it's useless. I can only spend my old age with my wife and children." While talking, Shi Xie took out two baked sweet potatoes and handed them to Shi Huang and Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun sighed, and said: "Yes, although you and I are working in the General's Mansion now, it's just idle work."

Shi Xie is currently working in the Ministry of Rites, while Shi Huang and Zhao Kun are working in the Ministry of Industry, and they are all idle jobs, similar to pensions.

Shi Huang asked Shi Xie: "Brother Shi Xie, do you want to eat sweet potatoes for a lifetime?"

Shi Xie was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "It can keep the family safe, and eating sweet potatoes is not bad. I am old and injured again, so I don't want to bother anymore."

"Hey"

Shi Huang and Zhao Kun sighed one after another. Some families contacted them privately, hoping to do something for them.

But now that the family members of the three people have been taken to Panyu City, they will have many scruples if they want to do things.

Many of Lu Bu's policies are good for the people, but they have harmed the interests of many big families.In order to resist, they locked their eyes on Shi Xie, Shi Huang and Zhao Kun.

It's just that Lu Bu is strong and wins the hearts of the people.The three were imprisoned in a disguised form, and it was difficult to make a difference.

The only thing they can do is to live well, maybe God will give them a chance in the future.
