Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 133 Open

As the saying goes, if there is food at home, don't panic!

Lu Bu is in this state now, in fact, not only him, but all the people in Puyang, no matter they are high-ranking officials or refugees, seeing the cartloads of food brought back, their hearts are tightly hanging, and they finally have a holiday.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The refugees have returned to the peaceful life they were looking forward to, using their hard work to reclaim more land, expecting a better harvest next year, and there will be no more hunger in this land.

The refugees in Puyang City were resettled by Wang Kai, Han Hao and others.

Chen Gong and Zhang Miao dealt with the people and refugees in Juye, Dingtao and other places.

Although Puyang has been war-torn for a long time, in the eyes of the people and refugees, it seems to be a city of hope, and this is the only pure land in the troubled times.

Everyone believed that as long as Marquis Wen was here, everything would be fine.

As a result, many people and refugees did not want to go back, and wanted to stay in Puyang to live a new life.

Seeing that someone wanted to stay, Chen Gong was not surprised but happy, and readily agreed.

Puyang lost too many people in several wars. With the replacement of this population, I believe it will be able to regain its vitality soon.

In fact, it's not just Puyang that lacks population. Fan County, Dong'e and other places are all missing a large number of people.

These refugees who want to stay are better resettled, as long as they go to the west of Puyang and continue to cultivate new land.

It is more difficult for those people who want to stay. Some of them have fields at home, but they can't see hope there, so they want to stay.

Although it is hard for these people to leave their homeland, in this turbulent age, what is more important than life?

What's more, the people's memory of the millions of Yellow Turbans coming to Yanzhou is still fresh. These Yellow Turbans are almost more terrifying than locusts.

The locusts flew by, and no grass grew, but they were just crops in the field, which were devoured by these hateful locusts.

The Yellow Turban Army is coming, and they are not only going to eat the crops in the fields, but even the people will not be spared.

How many villages were looted at that time, and even the people were taken away.

Natural disasters are far less terrifying than man-made disasters.

At this time, many people found that only in Puyang can they live the peaceful life they want.

As a result, Chen Gong's affairs are simply too busy. He has to count the land over there first, and then divide the land from this side to achieve a balance between the two sides.

Although the land over there is temporarily useless, Chen Gong believes that sooner or later, Marquis Wen's power will really develop there, and these lands will be used.

As for Xu Si, he was so busy hitting the back of his head with his feet that he could barely breathe due to the pressure of all kinds of aftermath arrangements.

It wasn't until the people of Dong'e and Fan County went back that the busy situation improved a lot.

Compared with these civil servants, military generals are much more relaxed. Apart from training soldiers, they recruit a small number of soldiers.

And when recruiting soldiers, they didn't dare to do it with great fanfare.

On the first day, they recruited troops with great fanfare. As a result, too many people were attracted, and the barracks were almost surrounded.

Seeing so many good seedlings, the generals immediately recruited a lot of them. As a result, Lu Bu angrily reprimanded them, and then restrained themselves a lot.

From then on, if you want to recruit troops, you can only do it secretly.

Lu Bu also wanted more soldiers and horses, but that needed more food!
Now Pu Yang is persevering, and only when he perseveres until something really pays off can he breathe a sigh of relief.

If too many troops are recruited, once the food is eaten up, Lu Bu will no longer be able to change the food.

The last full warehouse skill has been used. If there is another food crisis, Lu Bu is powerless.

So, when he heard that the crowd had recruited a large number of soldiers, he immediately got angry and called everyone together, severely reprimanded this kind of behavior, and declared that if anyone dared to commit the crime again, he would be dealt with by military law.

……

Sitting alone in the study, Lu Bu opened the control panel, looked at the support value displayed on it, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he hesitated again.

128000 support points.

Should the mall be opened?
In these few battles, Lu Bu lost too many people, and correspondingly, he also lost a lot of points. If you calculate it carefully, it may be more than 5000.

At that time, the population of Puyang was not large, and after the war, so many people had been lost.

Now the population left by Puyang and other three counties has reached tens of thousands.

Once such a large population is lost, it is not just a matter of 5000 support points.

Most importantly, there are still some people who are planning to leave Puyang and return to Juye or Dingtao.

There is no way to guarantee the safety of these people. As long as they die, Lu Bu's support value will also decrease.

If he opens the mall, he only has 28000 support points left. The number seems to be a lot, but it can't stand the super high loss.

Just when Lu Bu was hesitating, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and soon, Zhang Hu's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Report to Marquis Wen, General Han asks to see you."

Han Hao!

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then shouted outside the door, "General Han please come in."

Since Han Hao went to the refugee camp, he seldom wears armor. Now he is wearing a gray robe, which is a bit refined.

Zhang Hu pushed open the door, Han Hao stepped in, saw Lu Bu, and cupped his hands, "I have seen Marquis Wen in the end."

Lu Bu waved his hands, looked at the stains on the hem of Han Hao's clothes, and said with a smile, "General Han, you must be tired after coming a long way. Sit down and talk."

Han Hao once again held up his hands and knelt down opposite Lu Bu, "Marquis Wen, the general is here this time to report on the situation in the refugee camp."

Lu Bu nodded, "General Han, please tell me."

Han Hao slowly talked about the things in the refugee camp, and at the end, he suddenly said the same thing.

"Marquis Wen, do you still remember what happened by the river?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Of course I remember."

Han Hao frowned involuntarily, "Marquis Wen, I will follow your instructions and let the refugees dig ditches there. Since the digging is shallow and there are ready-made ditches, the speed of digging the ditches is very fast. It won't be long before it's finished."

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded with a smile, "General Han, very good. With this ditch, there will be a severe drought here in the future, and the land will have no worries."

Han Hao frowned even tighter. After hesitating for a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, the general will dig a ditch according to your order. It is still far away from the river. Only when the river is soaring can water flow into it." The ditches are temporarily dry."

Hearing Han Hao's words, Lu Bu suddenly understood the meaning of his visit today.

At the beginning, Lu Bu once said, let him just dig ditches and divert water, and deal with it himself.

Now the ditch is almost finished digging, but the water has not yet been brought up. Han Hao is really anxious, so he hurried over to ask.

"Marquis Wen, there has been a severe drought in the past two years, and the land has dried up. If there is no water source, even if we plant seeds, I am afraid there will not be much harvest."

"Marquis Wen, the last general can't help it. Seeing that there is no water, I feel anxious!"

"Wen Hou, think of a way, you said there is a way!"

Listening to Han Hao's constant nagging and looking at his expectant eyes, Lu Bu secretly gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"General Han, you go back first. In the past two days, Benhou will go to your place to give advice on the water source."

Hearing this, Han Hao's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly, "General Han, has this Marquis ever lied to you?"

Han Hao waved his hand hastily, "No, at the end of the day, let people go back and hurry up, and wait for Marquis Wen to bring the water over."

After speaking, Han Hao didn't wait for Lu Bu's answer, stood up, cupped his hands, and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Lu Bu would go back on his word.

Lu Bu watched Zhang Hu close the door, calmed down, and then said silently in his heart.

"I want to open the mall."

Following Lu Bu's voice, the system's notification sounded.

"The mall is opening, the current progress is 1%..., 2%...!"

While Lu Bu was waiting anxiously, after a stick of incense time passed, the system finally announced the completion.

"The mall has been opened, please check the host."

Lu Bu looked at the word "Shangcheng", and his heart suddenly became excited, and even his breathing became short of breath.

This is a shopping mall worth [-] support points, and it is the largest amount of support points Lu Bu has used so far.

"Open the store."

As Lu Bu's voice fell, a large screen appeared in front of Lu Bu's eyes. There were many squares on it. Each square contained an item. Below the square, there was an introduction of the item.

Lu Bu looked at the first object with some doubts in his eyes.

The item in the grid is an oval item named Potato.

Potatoes, also known as potatoes, belong to the Solanaceae family and are annual herbaceous plants with edible tubers. The yield per mu can reach about 2000 to 3000 jin, and if managed properly, it can reach up to about 8000 jin.

One potato seed can be exchanged for 3 support points.

Seeing the introduction of the system, Lu Bu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The current grain, the best output is only 200 catties, and the usual one is about 100 catties, but this thing called potatoes has reached more than ten times the yield, even reaching 8000 catties, what kind of horror is this?
If the reclaimed land is planted with potatoes, how can there be refugees in the future?
The item in the second square is also an oval item named Sweet Potato.

Sweet potatoes have a slightly sweet taste and can be used to make a variety of foods. Different varieties and different planting locations. Usually, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes planted in the field is about 6000 jin in spring, and 4000 to 5000 jin in summer.

One sweet potato seed can be exchanged for three support points.

Lu Bu has a calm temper. Even if he encounters thousands of troops, he will just frown.

But now, after seeing the second item, his hands trembled violently, and his already excited breathing became somewhat difficult.

Lu Bu eagerly wanted to exchange it, but after seeing the amount of support he had, his outstretched hand froze in the air again, and finally took it back with a wry smile.

Each of these two seeds can be exchanged for three points, which is worth a lot!

Lu Bu has a total of 128000 support points. After opening the mall, there are only 28000 support points left.

If it's all for buying seeds, what about something else?
Next, Lu Bu did not dare to look at anything else, fearing that he would not be able to withstand the temptation and spend the only 28000 support points.

Lu Bu saw the horses in the grid. He didn't read the introduction, but only looked at the price, then turned his head away.

A horse can be exchanged for 300 points.

This kind of extravagant thing is no longer suitable for Lu Bu, and it has no meaning other than making his eyes redder.

Advocacy points, everything must be based on support points.

Lu Bu sighed, his eyes moved quickly on the screen, scanning too many things that made him jealous, and finally stopped in front of a square.

Keel waterwheel.

Placing the keel waterwheel by the river can take advantage of the momentum of the water to continuously lift the water from a low place into a fixed ditch to obtain a continuous source of water.

A keel waterwheel can be exchanged for 10000 support points.

Keel waterwheel drawings can be exchanged for 1000 user points.

Seeing the choices given by the system, Lu Bu recited silently in his heart without hesitation.

"I want to exchange for the blueprint of the keel waterwheel."

After all, if a full set of keel waterwheel needs 9000 support points, which is too expensive, it is better to exchange blueprints. If it can be made, it is equivalent to saving [-] support points.

In addition to the blueprint of the keel waterwheel, Lu Bu exchanged 100 potatoes and [-] sweet potato seeds each.

As for other items, although Lu Bu also wanted to exchange them, but after thinking about it, I feel that we should wait and see.

His main concern was the drawings for the keel waterwheel.

If you can find a craftsman to make it, of course you will save 9000 support points, but if you can't make it, you can only grit your teeth and spend [-] support points to exchange it.

Lu Bu is also very clear about what Han Hao said just now.

Yanzhou suffered a severe drought, so the grain production in various places was insufficient, or even no grains were harvested, and the water source became the most critical place.

The big river is far away from the land, so water must be brought here, otherwise, no matter how much wasteland is reclaimed, if there is a drought, the yield will not be too high.

It's just that this year, the many refugees and people have made Lu Bu's hair almost gray. He doesn't want to wait until next year to spend it like this.

Therefore, even if he spent [-] support points to exchange for a full set of keel waterwheels, he would not hesitate.

There is so much land to the west of Puyang, Lu Bu worried that just a water truck might not be enough, and there might be more. In this way, his remaining 2 points might not be enough.

As for the 200 seeds exchanged, Lu Bu also wanted to try to see if he could produce new seeds. If so, he could save too many points.

And even if there is no way to grow new seeds, if Lu Bu has points, he will not hesitate to exchange them for potatoes and potatoes.

The output of the two things was so high that it almost made Lu Bu jealous.

Therefore, he exchanged a small amount first, and then waited to see the result.

As for the war horse he most wanted to exchange for, he didn't even dare to look at it now. On the one hand, the value was too high;

There are too few points and too many places to use, which makes Lu Bu feel stretched.

He now wants to redeem the second volume of the Refugee Handbook, because there are many things he needs in it.
