Chapter 89 [Military and civilians unite, ushering in the tide of sweet potato planting] Please collect, recommend

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in late November 189, Jiaozhou, Hepu County.

Today is No. 15 days before Lu Bu receives the task of planting at least one million acres of sweet potatoes.It has been almost a month since Lu Bu, more than 6 soldiers, and more than [-] refugees from [Mangrove Forest] arrived in Jiaozhou.

Today, Lu Bu occupies three counties in Jiaozhou: Nanhai County, Cangwu County, and Hepu County.The land of the three counties accounts for half of Jiaozhou, and the cultivated land accounts for more than half.The population of more than seventy accounts for two-thirds of the population of Jiaozhou. It can be said that half of Jiaozhou is already under his control.

At present, the government affairs of Nanhai County are presided over by Chen Gong, and there are Gao Shun, Xi Zhicai, Yang Feng, Zhang Yang, Xu Rong, Cao Xing and others in the military.

Of course, Zhang Yang was stabbed by Hua Tuo, and he couldn't get up for a month or two.

Gao Shun and Xi Zhicai presided over the military administration of [Sihui County] and [Zhongsu County] to the west of Nanhai County, and at this time they were also busy with Lu Bu's sweet potato plan.

Yang Feng is stationed in Boluo County, Nanhai County, and Xu Rong is in [Longchuan County]. The two are each in charge of the affairs of a county. It is very embarrassing for them to devote all their efforts to planting sweet potatoes.Fortunately, Lu Bu arranged for people from the [Department of Agriculture] to go to the three counties and counties as well as the military settlements to teach the methods of planting.

Therefore, although it is a bit difficult, everything is going well.But what is puzzling and worrying is that the bandits in [Longlian Mountain] basically haven't made any big moves these days. None of the three commanders: Diao Gang, Gou Feng, and Qiu Gao have ever been heard of showing their faces at the foot of the mountain.

This made Xu Huang very worried, for fear that these bandits would have some conspiracy.

Cao Xing has resettled more than [-] refugees in the east of Nanhai County, from [Huidong] to [Jieyang], and divided them into more than [-] townships for easy management.

Afterwards, Cao Xingyou hurriedly surrendered the garrisons in the counties of Nanhai County, as well as the newly recruited recruits, totaling more than [-] people.They were placed in [Haifeng] and [Lufeng] in the east of Nanhai County, respectively, to garrison troops and open up wasteland to grow sweet potatoes.

As for Chen Gong, he mainly stayed in Panyu City. In addition to dealing with the planting of sweet potatoes in Panyu County, he also had to deal with the official documents of various counties in Nanhai County.

In Cangwu County, the government affairs of the counties are handled by Jia Xu. Similarly, Jia Xu and Chen Gong both suffer from exhaustion.Apart from being helpless, Jia Xu worked so hard for Lu Bu, but more because he already basically recognized Lu Bu in his heart, and he was short of worshiping Lu Bu as his lord.

Lu Bu also lined up next to Jia Xu with a ten-man team of soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion, responsible for protecting him overtly and secretly.Of course, it appears to be both protection and surveillance.But Jia Xu didn't care too much, if she wanted to run away, there was a way.

However, even if he returns to the Central Plains safely, where can he find a lord who can guarantee the safety of himself and his family?

He is already in his early forties, and it is not bad to meet Lu Bu now. If possible, he doesn't want to toss about to find another master.

In addition to Jia Xu, Cangwu County also has Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Ding Hong, Qin Yun and others. Zhang Liao is in charge of the northern part of Cangwu County: Fengyang, Linhe, Fuchuan, Lipu, Fengcheng and Xie Mu, six counties Military affairs and the task of growing sweet potatoes.

Xu Rong is in Mengling County, mainly responsible for guarding and preventing the enemy from coming from Yulin County.At the same time, he is also responsible for planting sweet potatoes in the whole county.

Ding Hong was in charge of [Gaoyao] and [Duanxi] counties in the south of Cangwu County. He persuaded Qin Feng, the county magistrate of Duanxi County. With his help, Ding Hong was much more relaxed.

The above-mentioned people are people with experience in doing things, and they can handle the things at hand.

But there was one person who felt a little powerless and was very busy all day long.He is the second in command of the newly established [Agriculture Department], Xiao Sinong, Qin Yun.

Lu Bu quickly arranged the main positions in the [Agricultural Department], and after instructing Qin Yun some things, he led an army of tens of thousands to the south.

And let Qin Yun quickly recruit people who are already familiar with planting sweet potato seedlings, and then assign them to the three counties to teach the method of planting sweet potatoes.

In addition, let more carpenters and blacksmiths learn how to make Quyuanli, and then make a large number of Quyuanli, and then distribute them to the counties.At the same time, some people who can make Quyuanli will be arranged to teach other counties how to make Quyuanli.

As for other agricultural tools, cattle and other necessary things for farming, the more the better.

Until now [Department of Agriculture] has not stopped recruiting, but mainly temporary workers.Of course, those who are capable can also be further assessed, and then given appropriate positions.

In short, counting the temporary workers, the [Agriculture Department] has several thousand people.

This made Qin Yun, a small farmer, feel very difficult. Fortunately, there was Jia Xu, the [Nong Zuocheng] who was in charge of supervision, so he could ask Jia Xu for advice if there was any difficulty in making a decision.

Hepu County is much easier here, because there are only four counties in one county, with more than 4 people.And nearly [-] people are in Hepu County, Hao Meng and Guo Jia are in charge of Hepu County, and Wei Xu is in charge of the southernmost Xu County.

Song Xian, on the other hand, had a hard life. He was responsible for bringing more than [-] Bingzhou troops from Hepu County, [-] defenders who surrendered, nearly [-] recruits, and more than [-] people who attacked them, to the east of Hepu County.

The location given by Lu Bu is from [Zhanjiang] to [Maoming] in Hepu County. The army in Hepu County is stationed in these places to open up wasteland and grow sweet potatoes.

Lu Bu led an army of nearly 2 people, and stationed [-] people at the junction of the three counties. It is close to [Kaiping] in the south, [Linyun County] in the west, [Gaoyao County] in the north, and [Jiangmen County] in the east. 】.

This area is an uncultivated plain, from the south of the lower reaches of Yushui, and the west is close to Laoshui.Most of the land can be reclaimed and used as paddy and dry fields, which is a good place.

After resettling the 2 people, Lu Bu led other soldiers and continued southward. When they passed [Gaoyao County], they took away more than a thousand surrendered defenders and recruits there, and then continued southward.

In [Yangjiang], [Yangchun], and [Dianbai], there are [-] troops stationed in the besieged city.The main reason is that there is a river [Yangjiang] here, and the water source is not much, but it can still irrigate dryland crops.

In the end, Lu Bu continued southward with nearly ten thousand people, and joined Song Xian. A total of more than twenty thousand people were stationed in the area from [Maoming] to [Zhanjiang].

For a time, in the southeast of Hepu County, [-] to [-] troops began to cut down trees and burn grasslands, and there was constant smoke everywhere.

Cao Xing was in charge of the garrison in [Zhanjiang] and [Maoming] to open up wasteland and grow sweet potatoes; while Lu Bu was going to go to the garrison in [Yangjiang] to inspect and supervise.If things go well, he will go to the garrison at the junction of the three counties to check the situation.

When they came to [Yangjiang], Lu Bu commanded the army, now they cut down the trees, and then burned the grass.Trees can be used to build houses, and they cannot be burned all at once.

The division of labor, felling trees, burning land, reclamation reclamation, cultivated land, planting sweet potato seedlings, went smoothly.

From then on, people were also ordered to draw water from the rivers and dig reservoirs for irrigation.There are so many people, it’s fast. After half a day’s work, the trees and weeds on the flat land disappeared one after another.

Then, only the sound of digging and reclamation was heard.

Not only the more than [-] soldiers stationed in the four places, but also the people in the three counties and counties. Almost the soldiers and the people of the three counties are working together to grow sweet potatoes in a hurry.

"There's still half a month left, so we should be able to plant millions of acres of sweet potatoes, right?" Lu Bu looked at the newly cultivated soil in front of him, smelled the smell of tobacco in the air, and said to himself.

　Ask for favorites, recommendations, and support.
