Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293
Jia Xu's question is very important. The output of sweet potatoes and corn is very high and can feed many people.

But it is also a double-edged sword. If it is used by the enemy, then Lu Bu will no longer have such an advantage, and it will also strengthen his enemy.

Sweet potatoes and corn can benefit the people all over the world, but maybe the princes will be more unscrupulous after getting them.

What's more, how can the things that Lu Bu worked so hard to make easily cheaper for others!
The reality is so cruel!

"No!"

Lu Bu's answer was crisp and clear.

"It's not that this general doesn't have mercy on the people of the world!"

Lu Bu had to defend himself to avoid misunderstanding:

"First of all, I want to ask you, if there were no high-yield new grains such as sweet potatoes and corn in the peaceful and prosperous age, would the people be able to live and work in peace and contentment?"

The answer is yes.

The crowd nodded.

Lu Bu continued: "Okay then, I will ask again, why do people always starve to death in troubled times?"

Of course, it is because in the troubled times, there are constant wars, natural disasters, and diseases, and it is impossible to grow food, and of course more people will die!
Everyone has already understood that even if sweet potatoes and corn appear, if the people do not have a stable living environment, no one will plant the land.

"I think everyone understands such a simple truth." Lu Bu smiled and said: "Of course, this general also has selfish intentions, and he doesn't want the good things he has worked so hard to end up cheap for the enemy. More importantly, this general wants to let the following My people and soldiers can live a good life, are happier than outsiders, and have a sense of superiority!"

Everyone was shocked, isn't that what Lu Bu is doing now?What he did in Jiaozhou was not all to make the people and soldiers who followed him live a better life.The army can provide three meals a day, which is the best Liezi, and the soldiers will no longer go hungry to work hard.

For a while, everyone was inexplicably moved, and some people had tears in their emotional eyes.

General is great!
Jia Xu suddenly thought of a sentence that Lu Bu once said: "The young have something to support, and the old have something to depend on!"

Although it is a simple sentence, it is indeed extremely difficult to achieve it. Even in modern society, no country dares to pat its chest and say that it has done it.

In different eras, this sentence has different meanings and standards.

And Lu Bu is working hard to realize the "care for the young and support for the old" in this era.

"I didn't expect him to have such a great side." Jia Xu felt that he should understand more about the deep meaning behind Lu Bu's actions in the future.

In the end, Lu Bu also said: "The two counties put stability first, and before there is stability, we will not allow things prohibited by Jiaozhou to enter the two counties.

Of course, if the people in the two counties want to live in Jiaozhou, it is also possible. "

Lu Bu still felt that Jiaozhou had a small population. Although the two counties lost half of their population, they still had more than 100 million people, which was about the same as Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou was much larger.

……

After staying for a few more days, Lu Bu was ready to return to Jiaozhou.Hua Tuo, Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing, He Yong and others were also accompanying him.

In addition, Chen Yong escorted Lu Bu back to Jiaozhou with a company of more than [-] soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion.

Of course, in addition to replenishing Hao Meng and Zhang Liao's thousands of elite soldiers, the remaining more than 1 elite soldiers will return to Jiaozhou to garrison.

On the day when Lu Bu was about to leave, at dawn, Jia Xu, Cheng Bing, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Wang Dongxiawei and other civil and military officials saw Lu Bu off outside the south gate of the county seat.

Zhang Bozu, Zhang Zhongjing and He Yong were also in Lu Bu's return team.

He Yong looked around, but no one was paying attention, so he whispered to Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing, "We really want to go back to Jiaozhou with Lu Bu?... You have to think clearly, although Lu Bu said that we can go in and out of Jiaozhou at will, but I'm worried that he won't let us go easily when we return to Jiaozhou. Especially you, Zhongjing, I think Lu Bu has already valued your medical skills and won't let you leave Jiaozhou."

Although he didn't stay in Jiaozhou for long, He Yong thought he had seen Lu Bu's "bandit" side clearly.None of the refugees who entered Jiaozhou from Jingzhou was able to return.

However, He Yong had to admit that there were many new things in Jiaozhou under Lu Bu's governance, which shocked him, such as: new paper, sweet potatoes, new currency, separate agricultural colleges and medical colleges, buns, steamed buns, kimchi, wine and drunken fairy, Farmers market and more.

It's just that He Yong hasn't given up on the Han Dynasty yet. Seeing Lu Bu's obvious rebellious behavior, he feels uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing are doctors, and they don't care about politics. As long as they can help the people and learn better medical skills, they are satisfied.

"Boqiu, you just worry too much." Zhang Bozu smiled and said, "If you don't want to go back to Jiaozhou, this old man will go and tell the general, and I think I won't make it difficult for you. However, this old man wants to ask you, if you don't go back to Jiaozhou , where can you go and what can you do? Can you save the common people in the world?

If not, there is nowhere to go, so why not go back to Jiaozhou.At least in Jiaozhou, the old man and Zhongjing can do a lot of things, and they can practice medicine for the peace of mind. "

"My..." He Yong was left speechless by the question, he did leave Jiaozhou, the world is so big, he didn't know where to go, and what to do...

Zhang Zhongjing persuaded: "Brother Boqiu, why don't you come to Jiaozhou with us. Maybe you can find something you want to do in Jiaozhou? Now the Central Plains is full of wars, natural disasters and man-made disasters. You don't feel at ease if you leave us alone."

He Yong was silent, hesitated for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, that's all. I'd better go back with you."

After half a stick of incense, Lu Bu set off, and the large army set off, all the way south.

There were many people watching along the way.

"Is that the general?"

"Is the general going back to Jiaozhou?"

"It would be great if the general stayed in our county. The general exempted us from taxes for the next two years, helped us cure our diseases, and killed all the traitors. He is a good general!"

"I heard that under the rule of the general, the people in Jiaozhou lived a life without worrying about food and clothing. As long as they are willing to live in Jiaozhou, they will be given houses, farmland, money, food, farm tools, etc., and they will not pay taxes and food for the first year... "

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, some were sincere, some were flattering, and some were trusting people to go to Jiaozhou.

Of course, the promise to reduce or exempt taxes for two years is the news that Lu Bu asked Jia Xu to release, in order to stabilize the livelihood of the people in the two counties.

The more than 1 soldiers who followed Lu Bu felt deeply about the gap between the living standards of Jiaozhou and Lingling County and Guiyang County.

Along the way, I saw that Guiyang County was in dilapidated condition, many new graves could be seen everywhere, and the people watching the bustle on the side of the road were skinny and naked... The soldiers felt that they were so happy, three meals a day, There are still a lot of clothes to wear, and there is a complete small home.Compared with those in front of me, I don't think I'm too happy!

There is no happiness without comparison!

At the same time, the soldiers were grateful to Lu Bu who brought them these things. They felt sincere gratitude in their hearts, and their sense of belonging suddenly increased a lot.

Six days later, Lu Bu and others arrived at the pass between Guiyang County and Jiaozhou: Suipu Pass.

At this moment, in the Weipu Pass, many merchants gathered together, bringing their goods to the Central Plains for sale.

Because of the typhoid fever and the war in the two counties, except for the official merchants and merchants with official business background, most of the other merchants have not entered Jingzhou for almost four months.

No, I don't know who I heard it from. The typhoid fever and war in the two counties have subsided, and they have come to Weipu Pass one after another in the past few days.

Similarly, many merchants gathered in Xiemuguan, the gateway between Lingling County and Jiaozhou. Whoever enters Jingzhou first may be the first to get huge business opportunities.
