Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 295

"In five years, the population under the rule will reach 800 million?"

"Is there any mistake? At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were only 5000 to [-] million people. Where do I go to get people in five years? Let everyone make villains every day without shame?"

Lu Bu made a rough calculation in his mind, and the population of Jiaozhou is only about 20 million, and the population of Guiyang County and Lingling County is only about 100 million at most. The combined population is less than 300 million, which is far from 800 million.

More than 200 million to 800 million, with an average increase of more than 100 million per year. Even making villains every day can't reach it?

At this time, the voice of the beast came out and sounded in his mind:
"Host, go grab it!"

"It's too slow to make a villain. You see, you took away the two counties of Jingzhou, didn't you just gain more than 100 million yuan at once? To make a villain, you can grab it quickly. Do you think this is the reason?"

"Shut up, Beast, your voice is getting more and more nasty." Lu Bu trembled, and said: "Historically, the feudal lords began to fight at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and by the end of the Three Kingdoms, there were only a few million people left from 5000 to [-] million people.

It's so easy to rob, maybe it will be robbed by others, the more you fight, the fewer people will be there.Anyway, I think this task is a trap, and the possibility of completing it is very small, very small! "

Beast came up with a bad idea and said: "Host, you accept the task first. If you finish it, the system will issue a surprise gift package for the first time. There must be something good. Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't complete it. It won't hinder you from accepting other tasks."

"That's right, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Lu Bu really accepted this task.

Taking advantage of the early time, Lu Bu took Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Bozu, He Yong and others, and continued on their way under the escort of more than [-] soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion.

In the afternoon when they arrived in Zhongsu County, they found that the corn planted by the common people had reached the time when they could eat boiled corn on the cob.

Coincidentally, they met people from the Department of Agriculture who were explaining corn related knowledge to the people in the field.

Hesitation is the first time to grow corn, except that Lu Bu knows what to pay attention to during the growth of corn, when it can be eaten, when it can be harvested, how to dry it, how to store it and so on.

He had already written these precautions into a book and handed it over to the Department of Agriculture to publicize it to the people. When he encountered any confusion, the Agricultural Propaganda Bureau of the Department of Agriculture asked Bai Ji for advice.

"Chen Yong, let the soldiers of the Shenbing Battalion rest for a while." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he looked at Hua Tuo and the others, and asked, "Master Hua, how many others are there? Let's go and have a look together."

"Since the general invited me, I will naturally go there together." Hua Tuo looked at the tall people next to him and the green corn, and was also curious, and said: "I also want to see what this corn is from a closer distance."

So, Lu Bu, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Bozu, He Yong, Chen Yong and others walked towards the crowd in front.

I happened to hear people from the Department of Agriculture explaining:

"Look, everyone, the stubble of the corn in my hand has withered, which means the corn is edible.

How to eat it, the easiest way is to boil it with water, put it in cold water, boil it until the corn floats on the water, it is cooked and ready to eat.

There is also a more convenient one, which is directly put into the pot while the rice is cooking, and when the rice is cooked, the corn is also cooked.

In addition, corn can also be eaten by burning, fried as a dish, ground into a slurry, and its leaves can be used to make cornbread or tortillas. "

"However, I must remind you that although the corn at this time is edible, it can only be eaten in small quantities. If you want to have more harvests, you need to wait until the corn is fully mature."

Some people asked:
"My lord, when will this corn be ripe? How shall we tell?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to say it right away?" The official from the Department of Agriculture said with a wry smile:
"How to tell when the corn is ripe is actually simple." Pointing to a corn plant, he said, "You see, when the leaves of the corn are all withered and yellow, it will be the time for a good harvest. At that time, the corn will not be easily squeezed out. come.

As for how to dry the corn, store the corn, and how to use it?In fact, it is simple and similar to how we treat wheat and rice. The specific details will be explained later by our Agriculture Department.

Let's stop here today, if you have any questions in the future, please go to the yamen of our Agriculture Department. "

The explaining official from the Department of Agriculture left, and everyone started to disperse and go about their business.

"I didn't expect the officials of the Department of Agriculture to go to the fields to answer questions for the people. It's really rare."

While He Yong praised him, he couldn't help thinking of the colleagues he met when he was an official. How many of them really did things for the people?No, he barely counts as one, so he will be kicked out of the officialdom, because he concentrates on doing things for the people, so he stands out from the crowd!
"Yes, the general governs well, and Jiaozhou is really a paradise."

Hua Tuo praised Lu Bu sincerely.

Lu Bu smiled, and said confidently and humbly: "This general is just doing something within his ability, not asking for gratitude from others, but wanting to be worthy of his heart."

"Good sentence: I have no shame in my heart." Zhang Bozu praised: "The general has a benevolent heart, which is the luck of everyone in Jiaozhou."

……

While Lu Bu was happily chatting about corn with everyone, he didn't know that he was once again famous among the princes of the Central Plains.

The first time he assassinated Dong Zhuo and became famous all over the world.

This time, it was Sun Jian who deliberately made Lu Bu appear in Jiaozhou, and sent troops to occupy Lingling County and Guiyang County. He had more than 20 soldiers and horses, and he reached a five-year strike and armistice agreement with Sun Jian. It spread to the ears of the princes of the Central Plains.

In Wan County, Nanyang County, the northernmost part of Jingzhou, in Yuan Shu's Mansion.

At this moment Yuan Shu is gathering with Ji Ling, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and other civil and military personnel.

Yuan Shu asked: "Have you heard that Lu Bu, who disappeared after assassinating Dong Zhuo, appeared in Jiaozhou now. With 10,000+ troops, he not only occupied Hejiaozhou, but also almost captured Lingling and Guiyang counties in Jingzhou?"

Yan Xiang first opened his mouth and replied: "I have heard about this matter a little bit, but whether it is true or not needs to be inquired carefully before we can confirm.

However, after Lu Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo, he disappeared with tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops. It has been almost a year, and suddenly appeared in Jiaozhou. Although it is unbelievable, it is not impossible. "

"My lord, not long ago Sun Jian personally led an army of [-] troops to march all the way south." Zhang Xun said: "Originally, Sun Jian had arranged for Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi and other troops to lead tens of thousands of elite troops to Lingling County and Guiyang County. He said he was helping the two counties to wipe out the sect thieves, but he actually wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the two counties.

It was only delayed because of a sudden outbreak of typhoid fever in two counties.

Not long ago, Sun Jian personally led an army of [-] troops to the south in a hurry. Presumably, there was a war in the two counties, and Sun Jian was needed to support them. "

Yuan Shu seemed to understand: "For Sun Jian to personally lead troops to support, it cannot be a battle with the sect thieves. It must have encountered a strong enemy. The south of Jingzhou is Jiaozhou, and the strong enemy that appears can only come from Jiaozhou."

Suddenly he asked, "Has Sun Jian returned to Xiangyang City?"

"Yes, I just came back a few days ago." Yang Hong replied.

"Yes, this matter should be true." Yuan Shu's expression was serious, and he ordered: "Hurry up and check to see if Lu Bu is in Jiaozhou. This matter is very important."

"promise!"
