Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 305 Change, Drunken Immortal Wine House is destroyed

Jiaozhou, Nanhai County, Boluo County, Sanxiang Village.

The Tian family of Sanxiang Village is one of several landlords in the village, owning a lot of fertile land and their own cattle.

Farm cattle are in short supply in Jiaozhou and are very precious, so special dolls were hired to herd cattle.

Yu San, twelve years old, is the only male of the Yu family in Sanxiang Village, ranking third, because the family used to be very poor and had no food to eat, so they could only graze cattle for the Tian family.

In the nearly one year since Lu Bu took over Jiaozhou, he first ended the oppression and exploitation of the people by the governors and prefects, allowing the people to live a stable life.

After that, sweet potato planting was promoted in Jiaozhou, and advanced agricultural tools such as quyuanli were provided, so that most people in Jiaozhou could have enough food, and some of them had a surplus.

In the mountains and forests, Tian Yu, the son of the landlord Tian's family, Yu San, the cow herding boy for the Tian family's cattle, Lei Wazi, who cuts pig grass for the Tian family's pigs, and Wang Xiong, the second child of the village.

Four boys, about the same age, twelve or thirteen years old, often get together to play and chat.

No, Tian Yu and Xiong Laoer were riding on two cows, swinging their legs, with weeds in their mouths, and grunting from time to time.

Cowherding boy Yu San followed the two cows with a broken bamboo pole for driving cattle, while Lei Wazi, who was carrying a bamboo pole on his back, was beside him, cutting some pigweed from time to time.

"Yu San, will you stop herding cattle for my family from next month?"

Tian Yu looked reluctant, the two played together these past few years, although their families were very different, it did not prevent them from being friends and playing together.

"Yu San is going to study in the county next month and become a scholar. How could he graze cattle for your family?" Xiong Erer glanced at Yu San, chewed the weeds in his mouth, and said, "Yu San Three, what’s so interesting about studying. The family hired a teacher for me and my eldest brother, it’s too boring, why don’t I run out and have fun.”

Although Xiong Laoer's family is also a landlord, their ancestors were nobles. Although they are poor now, they value knowledge, so they specially hired a teacher.

Lei Wazi, who cut pigweed, came over. His father was not up to his expectations, and he would continue to feed pigs to Tian's family. He envied Yu San and said, "Yu San, I support you. Look at the scholars in the village, how proud they are! Okay!" Good at studying, if you become an official in the future, remember to take care of me."

Then he had a sore nose, and said with a mournful face: "If my father hadn't lost all the money from selling sweet potatoes and paid off his debts, I might have gone to school, but now I have to feed pigs to Tian Yu's family, so I don't know what to do." eat."

Tian Yu was displeased when he heard it, and said loudly: "What's wrong with raising pigs, my father said, just growing food can't sell much, and raising pigs and cattle is more profitable.

You haven’t visited the pig farms and cattle farms in Boluo County, they are big, they are bigger than our village, and there are countless fat pigs and strong cattle that can be sold for a lot of money.

My father also said that I am not a material for studying, and I will raise pigs and cattle in the future, and he will be satisfied if I can be as big as the county.Lei Wazi, follow me, there will be a lot of money in the future! "

Don't let you study, you cheating landlord father!
The more he talked, the more excited Tian Yu wanted to pull Yu San and him to join the big plan of raising pigs and cattle: "Yu San, don't go to school. Although being a scholar has face, many of them are poor and have no money. You Look at Xiong Lao Er's family, the ancestors are still nobles, all can read and write, and now they are not as rich as my family."

"Pooh!"

Xiong Lao Er lay down on his gun, pouted at Tian Yu angrily, and said contemptuously: "Although I don't want to study, I plan to join the army in the future, fight on the battlefield, and become a general. The general of Jiaozhou is so powerful, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. They captured Jiaozhou in the first month, and I heard that they are attacking Jingzhou now!"

"Really, the general is attacking Jingzhou?"

When it comes to war, the boys are all interested, and a few of them gathered around Xiong Lao Er to listen to him bragging, their blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they relished it.

……

At the beginning of September, all parts of Jiaozhou began to move corn. There are more than 100 million mu of corn planted in the whole state.

There are quite a few families with plans to have four children. During the autumn harvest season, they are looking forward to the future.

"I heard from the officials of the Department of Agriculture that corn can be ground into flour and made into porridge to feed pigs. Some people in the village raise pigs. I heard that it is more valuable than selling grain directly. After the corn is harvested, our family will also buy a few piglets. keep it."

"My family plans to sell the surplus corn and save money for my children to study."

"We are all vulgar farmers. What's the use of studying, it's better to raise pigs and sell them for money. If we have enough money, we can build a new house."

"I don't know, I can't explain it to you."

"My family is also planning to raise pigs, and then we will go to the pig farm in the county to buy piglets, haha."

"I want to save money for my son to be an apprentice, learn to do business, and make a lot of money in the future. Look at the Wang family in the village. This year, they started the sweet potato business and made a lot of money in Jiaozhi County. They are going to build a new house soon!"

Since ancient times, it has been very serious to follow the trend. I saw that planting sweet potatoes can eat a lot of food, and everyone rushed to grow them.Later, I found that it was more profitable to raise pigs, so I started raising pigs, cattle, livestock and so on.

The arrival of Lu Bu brought great changes to the people of Jiaozhou. Without the endless oppression of corrupt officials, heavy taxes, and bandits, they could farm and support their families in peace.Since planting sweet potatoes, people will not starve to death easily.Now that there is corn, people are no longer satisfied with food and clothing, and hope to enjoy a better life.

Doing business to make money, raising pigs and cattle to sell money, becoming apprentices, going to school... etc. are all their attempts to further improve their living standards.

Lv Bu took the time to go to the surrounding areas outside Panyu City in the past two days to check whether the people's corn movement was smooth and whether the Department of Agriculture had made proper arrangements.

What he saw and heard satisfied him.

He believes that as long as there are sweet potatoes, corn, and new rice in one or two years, the people of Jiaozhou will be able to live comfortably and start to get rich. .

Without the worry of food shortage, Lu Bu can let go to do other important things.

In the afternoon, Lu Bu returned to the General's Mansion, and unexpectedly found Zhou Zhang waiting outside the mansion with an anxious expression on his face.

"My lord, something happened."

Seeing Lu Bu coming back, Zhou Zhang rushed to meet him.

"Don't worry, let's talk in the mansion."

There were many people outside the house, so Lu Bu stopped Zhou Zhang.

Entering the mansion, the two came to the meeting hall.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Bu sat at the top, looked at Zhou Zhang who was standing below and asked.

Zhou Zhang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this afternoon I received a message from Feige from Jingzhou. Our Zuixian Wine House was robbed shortly after it opened in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. They also killed many people in the store. My buddy burned down the store in the end, it’s really deceitful, we are doing business in accordance with the law, they burn, kill and loot for no reason, what is the difference with bandits!"

It can be seen that Zhou Zhang is very angry. This is the biggest humiliation he has suffered since he managed the Zuixian Winery for Lu Bu.

"Nanyang County in Jingzhou?...Nanyang County is now Yuan Shu's territory, right? He made it?" Lu Bu asked.
