Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 313 Zhang Fei is jealous, Wen You arrives

One 1990, mid-September.

Jingzhou, Guiyang County, Leiyang City.

The three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have been stationed in Leiyang for almost three months.

Liu Bei really has a way of governing the people. In less than three months, the people in Leiyang County no longer flee abroad, and the people's hearts are stable.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei drilled 5000 city defenders every day, and over time there would be thousands more elite soldiers.Although there were only [-] soldiers, and they were all weak soldiers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were training for the first time, worked hard.

It was almost noon today, and Liu Bei took Zhang Fei to inspect the city defense.

"Brother, look, there are many refugees from it!"

Standing on the tower, Zhang Fei saw many refugees passing by outside their Leiyang City.This is the case these days.

"They are also going to Jiaozhou."

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Nowadays the Central Plains is full of wars, diseases, severe droughts, and the people are living in the heat of the water. Lu Bu is also kind. Although he has a purpose, at least he can keep many people alive."

He is also envious of Lu Bu, who can do what he wants, but now he can only do more for the people of Leiyang County.

"This fellow Lu Bu is really rich. Can he support no matter how many people there are?" Zhang Fei was very jealous of Lu Bu, and cursed, "I just want to get drunk on the fine wine from Xianjiuju, but I can only drink it for a month. Once! Poor, if I were as rich as Lu Bu, I would drink the fine wine of Xianjiuju every day! Damn it, the wine of Zuixianjiuju is too expensive, one day I will smash it and throw away the fine wine Stolen them all!"

"Third brother, other people are also serious businessmen, and they send us three altars of fine wine every month. Wouldn't it be inhuman and unrighteous for you to rob others?" Liu Bei comforted: "As long as we manage Leiyang County well, the days to come It will be better. What's more, we are recharging our energy to wait for the opportunity to rescue the emperor."

"I'm just complaining, brother, don't take it seriously."

Zhang Fei patted his chest, and vowed: "Don't worry, big brother, with me and second brother here, I will definitely help big brother make achievements."

"Brothers!"

Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder.

……

Among the hundreds of refugees who passed by Leiyang City, there was an old acquaintance of Lu Bu.

His original name was Li Ru, courtesy name Wenyou, Dong Zhuo's counselor.Today, Li Ru's alias is Li Xin, implying the meaning of starting over.

By chance, he dressed up as a refugee, and under the guidance of merchants, he prepared to go to Jiaozhou with many refugees to see what was different there.

"That's Leiyang City. Speed ​​up your pace and you'll be able to reach Bian County before dark. That's where our general ruled."

The person who led the way introduced to the refugees: "As long as you arrive at the county seat and go all the way south, you will never go hungry again. When you arrive in Jiaozhou, you will still have houses to live in, fields to cultivate, and money to receive food. You don’t have to pay any taxes, so many people are envious of coming. Of course, if it’s delicious and hard to cook, you’d better not go, so as not to waste other people’s opportunities.”

This time, hundreds of refugees came here. Although it took a lot of effort along the way, the guides were very happy. As long as they brought these people into Jiaozhou, they could get a lot of rewards from the host.

It is simply, do it once, and use it for two years!

"Is this Leiyang City?" Li Ru looked at the tower of Leiyang City, saw two figures, and said in his mouth: "The person who led the way said that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are currently guarding Leiyang City. Guan Yu? ?”

I had never heard of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei before, but Li Ru knew that Guan Yu beheaded Li Meng and Wen Chou.

By the way, it seems that Liu Bei still got the jade seal... However, the jade seal should be in Sun Jian's hands now, otherwise how could Liu Bei get the city of Leiyang.

Li Ru thought about it for a while, and it was probably clear.

At dusk, hundreds of refugees together with Li Ru were brought to Bian County.

Gao Shun is now stationed in Bian County, with nearly [-] soldiers and horses, half guarding the city and half farming, taking turns.

And Zhang Liao and Cao Xing led nearly 3 soldiers and horses to garrison in Chen County, the prefecture of Guiyang County. They also garrisoned, trained, and farmed.

Of course, other counties have their own defenders, only two to three thousand county towns, which is not considered a regular combat army.

Originally, Zhang Liao had only [-] elite soldiers, but he quickly recruited [-] new recruits in Guiyang County, half of which went to Jiaozhou in exchange for Xu Huang's well-trained new army.It was the same with Hao Meng, the remaining half of the recruits were trained by themselves.

Hundreds of refugees did not enter the city, but lived in tents set up outside the city. At the same time, food and some clothes have been prepared for them, as well as dry food for their journey tomorrow.Before going to Jiaozhou to settle down along the way, the county where they stopped overnight will provide them with tents, food, dry food, etc.

This kind of treatment is several times better than theirs before. They can see the hope of living if they can cover their bodies and eat enough food.

During the meal, the person who led the way started to brag again. On the table in front of him were steamed buns and steamed buns, kimchi, steamed sweet potatoes, corn tortillas, rice, pork and so on.

It was crowded with people.

The person leading the way shouted: "Do you know what these are? Steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed sweet potatoes, corn tortillas, rice, pork...have you never seen them before? These are not only filling, but also very delicious."

"Come on, everyone line up, everyone has something to eat tonight."

"When you arrive in Jiaozhou and settle down, you can eat such delicious food every day. If someone wants to leave midway, I won't stop you, because you will starve to death after leaving. Without our guidance, you can't go to Jiaozhou. Although This place is also under the rule of the Great General, but it is far worse than Jiaozhou, believe it or not... well, don’t talk nonsense, distribute the food immediately, and come to pick up what’s not enough to eat!”

Li Ru took his share and came to sit in the tent.A tent can accommodate ten people, and there is a large table and ten stools.

The other nine people in the same tent as Li Ru seemed to be two families.There are no women in it, women are separated.

Among the nine people, there are old and young.

Everyone sat around with unaccustomed tables, chairs and benches, eating big mouthfuls.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's so delicious, I didn't expect that the noodles can be made so delicious, and there is meat in it!"

"This seems to be some kind of sweet potato. It's so sweet. I've never eaten something like this before."

"Father, I want to eat meat."

"Father, you eat more meat, it tastes good."

"The tortillas are also sweet and delicious."

Although life is not easy, filial piety is always reflected.

Li Ru picked up a sweet potato that was still hot, which was mentioned by Jia Xu in his letter, and took a bite, which surprised him. It was much more delicious than the northern noodles, fragrant and sweet.

The yield per mu is about [-] shi. Li Ru was shocked when he thought about how much impact such a high-yield grain would have.

However, he heard from the person who led the way that no one was allowed to take the sweet potato seeds out of Jiaozhou without the permission of the General's Mansion. Once found, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

However, after sweet potatoes are processed, many are brought to the Central Plains for sale.

The steamed sweet potatoes they ate were taken out by the army, and they were kept in strict custody. They couldn't see the raw sweet potatoes.

As for corn cakes, although Li Ru had never heard of them, and the guides didn't know much about them, they just called them that.However, they all found it extremely novel, and he became more and more interested in Jiaozhou.
