Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 134 Surprise
Early the next morning, Lu Bu brought Zhang Hu and others to the refugee camp.

Han Hao was directing the refugees to dig ditches. When he heard that Lu Bu was coming, he hurried over without even changing his clothes.

"The general will see Wenhou at the end."

Seeing that Han Hao looked like a general in a short shirt, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, "It seems that our General Han is really in a hurry, and he deserves praise for taking action himself."

Only then did Han Hao come to his senses, and he cupped his hands in embarrassment, "Don't blame Wen Hou, the general is impatient, so I came here in a hurry, please forgive me."

Lu Bu shook his head, "General Han worked so hard, he is a role model for everyone, how could he blame him?"

Han Hao's eyes were full of anticipation, and he asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, do you have a way to divert water when you come this time?"

Lu Bu nodded, "General Han, do you have craftsmen here, you can ask them to come."

Han Hao has been here for so long, and he has already felt the refugees clearly. He nodded immediately, and then told a soldier behind him, "Go and call old Zhangtou."

After the soldiers left, Han Hao turned around and cupped his hands at Lu Bu, and said with a smile, "Wen Hou, although the old Zhangtou is old, he is really capable. Since he came here, he has made a lot of things for everyone. The tool also makes everyone a lot more convenient.”

Not long after, the soldier walked in from the door with his old man with gray hair.

Seeing that Lu Bu was in the house, the old Zhangtou must have been trembling with excitement. Before he could speak, he fell to his knees with a plop, "The villain sees Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Old Zhang, I asked you to come today to show you the drawings."

While talking, Lu Bu took out the blueprint of the keel waterwheel and asked Zhang Hu to send it over.

Old Zhangtou took the blueprint. At first, he was a little puzzled, but after looking at it for a while, his eyes widened immediately, full of disbelief, and a hint of ecstasy.

"Excuse me, Marquis Wen, should this thing be put in the water?"

Lu Bu couldn't read the blueprint either, but he understood the function of the keel waterwheel, so he nodded, "That's right, the thing on the blueprint is called a keel waterwheel, and it can lead river water from a lower place to a higher place. come out?"

After hearing Lu Bu's answer, Lao Zhangtou began to tremble when he took the drawings.

Although this is just a blueprint, the old Zhangtou understands the value of this blueprint.

The severe drought in Yanzhou resulted in reduced crop production and even no crops. Many people became refugees and even died of starvation on the way.

If the river water can be diverted to high places, even if there is a drought, there will still be water to irrigate the land, so that the crops will not fail.

As long as the people have food, how can there be refugees?

Thinking of the scene when he became a refugee, Lao Zhangtou's eyes became moist, he kowtowed respectfully to Lu Bu three times, and said with a sob.

"If the common people had this thing long ago, how could there be so many refugees in the world.

Marquis Wen's design of this thing is really an act of helping the world. Once it succeeds, since it will be praised by all people, it will be a great contribution for thousands of years. "

Hearing what Old Zhang said, Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Old Zhang, if I ask you to do it, can you do it?"

Old Zhangtou looked at it carefully and said, "Marquis Wen, this drawing is very detailed. It should be possible to make it, but a blacksmith may be needed to build the middle stuff."

This time, before Lu stopped talking, Han Hao asked impatiently, "Old Zhang, can the things on the blueprint really lead the water up from the river?"

The old Zhangtou hurriedly cupped his hands at Han Hao, "General Han, this blueprint is extremely exquisite, if it is made according to the above, it should be no problem."

Hearing Old Zhang's answer, Han Hao's eyes flashed with ecstasy, "Old Zhang, this matter is not trivial, and you must not talk nonsense. This general will ask you again, can you divert water?"

The old Zhangtou looked at the blueprint again, and then nodded firmly, "Although the villain has never seen this blueprint of Marquis Wen, I can definitely use the power of water to succeed."

Speaking of here
"Ha ha!"

Han Hao was overjoyed immediately and couldn't help laughing, "That's great, old Zhang, you can do it now, hurry up."

The old Zhangtou hastily cupped his hands, "General Han, the keel waterwheel is very big, but it can't be completed by a small man alone."

Han Hao waved his hand, "Old Zhangtou, these are not problems, how many people are needed, what kind of people are needed, you just ask, this general will satisfy you, the only requirement is to be quick."

After finishing speaking, Han Hao cupped his hands at Lu Bu, "Marquis Wen, the general will go to recruit people first."

Before Han Hao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Bu waving his hand, "General Han, Ben Hou has something for you."

Han Hao was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, what is it?"

Thinking of these two things, Lu Bu couldn't help getting excited, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

"General Han, if these two things are successful, the effect will be hundreds of times stronger than the keel waterwheel."

Lu Bu is definitely not lying, nor is he talking big. The keel waterwheel can divert water, and it is indeed very strong, but compared with potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is a world of difference.

Han Hao was deeply shocked by Lu Bu's words, his eyes were full of disbelief, "Thousands of times, is Marquis Wen real?"

Wang Kai and Qin Yilu, who were standing aside, were also stunned in shock and shouted in unison.

"Marquis Wen, what is it?"

Lu Bu nodded, and waved to Zhang Hu who was behind him, "Take out the things for everyone to see."

Zhang Hu hurriedly responded, and asked two guards to carry two bags to put them down in front of everyone.

Han Hao stepped forward impatiently, opened one of the bags, and took out an oval-shaped object from it, but frowned.

"Wen Hou, what is this?"

Wang Kai stepped forward, "Marquis Wen, is this food edible?"

Lu Bu nodded, "That's right, General Han, the thing you're holding is called a potato. Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used as a staple food."

Han Hao turned his head to look at Lu Bu, and asked with some doubts, "Wen Hou, even if this thing can be eaten, it is a thousand times stronger than the wall of the keel waterwheel, it is impossible!"

Lu Bu smiled slightly, "General Han, if you know his output, you will understand its value."

Hearing this, Han Hao's eyes lit up, "Marquis Wen, is the potato production very high?"

Lu Bu purposely made a fool of himself, "Guess, how many potatoes are produced?"

Han Hao looked down at the potatoes in his hand and thought for a while, "300 catties per mu?"

Wang Kai hurriedly raised his hand, "I guess it's 400 catties."

Looking at Lu Bu's expression, Qin Yilu immediately knew that their guess was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, can this thing produce 500 catties per mu?"

Lu Bu took a deep breath, stretched out a slap, and said slowly, "5000 catties."

Everyone was stunned, they didn't react at first, they were frustrated that they didn't guess correctly, and after they reacted, they almost yelled in unison.

"5000 pounds?"

Lu Bu looked at the three pairs of burning eyes, and nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, if the management is done well, maybe it will reach 8000 catties."

"8000 pounds?"

Lu Bu's words caused the three of them to exclaim again.

Han Hao's hands trembled in shock, and the potato rolled off the handle. Qin Yilu, who was standing aside, caught it quickly and complained.

"Old Han, be careful."

Han Hao stretched out his hands in a hurry, picked up the potatoes as carefully as if picking up a child, and looked at them carefully in front of his eyes.

Wang Kai gasped for a few breaths, "Marquis Wen, is what you said true, 5000 catties?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Now do you understand the importance of this thing?"

The old Zhangtou who was standing aside heard everyone talking, and suddenly choked up and yelled, "If there was such a thing long ago, why would everyone still be hungry, hoot."

At the end, the old Zhangtou couldn't continue, sobbing softly.

He is a refugee from Qingzhou, who fled to Yanzhou. If he hadn't met Lu Bu, he would have turned into dust by now.

If his hometown grows these things, how can he become a refugee?
There are so many people, just because there is no food, they fall halfway and never get up.

Old Zhangtou saw the people around him fall down one by one, and he resented the injustice of God for letting them starve.

If he already had these things, how could he be alone!
Han Hao stepped forward and patted Lao Zhangtou on the shoulder, "Old Zhangtou, don't be sad, the previous things are over, as long as there is Marquis Wen, everyone will have a good life in the future."

Old Zhangtou was crying, "Marquis Wen, you are the best person in the world, you are willing to think about us refugees, and let us have a hope to survive.

It would be great if the whole world belonged to Marquis Wen, woo woo. "

When everyone in the room heard what Old Zhang said, they were suddenly shocked, and their hearts beat violently.

If all the land in this world belongs to Marquis Wen, wouldn't that mean?
The room was very quiet, only the sobbing of the old man, and the heavy breathing of everyone.

Lu Bu's heart also lifted up suddenly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He never thought about what the old man said. He has been struggling all this time, trying to find a place to stand.

Cao Mengde was driven away, and now that Yanzhou has been completely occupied, he has a foothold. What will he do next?

Qin Yilu was the first to react, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "The final general wishes to follow Marquis Wen forever."

Wang Kai and Han Hao also reacted, and hurriedly saluted, "I am willing to follow Marquis Wen to the death."

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the performance of the three, and waved his hand, "Okay, let's talk about the potato."

Only then did Han Hao think about the potato, and hurriedly said, "Marquis Wen, how long does it take for the potato to grow?"

Lu Bu thought for a while, then said slowly, "About a hundred days or so."

Hearing this, everyone present gasped, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Marquis Wen, how can it be possible to harvest so much grain in three months?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly, "There is no need to be suspicious, just plant it, and you will be surprised when you reap it."

Lu Bu firmly believes that the system will not lie. Although the yield of 5000 catties per mu is an exaggeration, it is still nothing compared to the full warehouse.

Han Hao couldn't help laughing, "Marquis Wen, we have a keel waterwheel, we have enough water, and now we have high-yield seeds. As long as we receive the goods, we will believe that Yanzhou will become the world's most Where there is plenty, there will be no more refugees, and everyone will not have enough to eat."

Wang Kai stepped forward to open another bag, "Marquis Wen, what is it here? Why is the color different?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "There are sweet potatoes inside, and the yield is about the same as that of potatoes. They are rare treasures."

Han Hao looked at the two bags, his heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, how many seeds are there in total?"

Lu Bu pointed at the two bags, "That's all."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu said with a smile when he saw the disappointed expressions of the three of them.

"Although there are not many seeds, as long as you plant them and wait for the harvest, you can get more seeds. I believe that it won't be long before the entire land of Yanzhou will be planted with these two treasures."

Wang Kai suddenly came to his senses, turned his head and said to Old Zhangtou, "Old Zhangtou, don't tell anyone about this matter, once the enemy finds out, the consequences will be disastrous, understand?"

The old Zhangtou hastily cupped his hands, "The villain will never tell, even if someone cuts off his head, he will never tell."

Han Hao nodded, "The strength of our army is not strong now, so we have to keep it secret. When our army's strength becomes stronger, it will not be too late to say it."

Lu Bu nodded, "Alright, let the three of you do this. As for how to do it, I trust you."

When the three people in the room heard these words, they hurriedly cupped their hands, "Marquis Wen, please rest assured, even if the general is going through fire and water, he will definitely do things well."

Lu Bu waved his hand and was about to speak when there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the door, followed by a voice.

"Marquis Wen, are you here?"

Hearing the voice outside, Lu Bu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Come in, what happened?"

As Lu Bu's words fell, a soldier hurried in, cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, Mr. Dexian said he has something urgent to see you."

Lu Bu thought that there was a war. Hearing these words, he was relieved a little. He stood up and waved to a few people, "You guys should split up the matter just now, so don't delay."

"Following orders"

……

Lu Bu gave some simple instructions to a few people, and immediately returned to Puyang with Zhang Hu and others.

Xu Si is a steady person, if there is no urgent matter, he will not let anyone find him.

Lu Bu returned to the mansion, did not enter the door, and saw Xu Si anxiously pacing back and forth by the gate.

When Xu Si saw Lu Bu's carriage, his face was overjoyed, and he hurried forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"I met Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu got out of the carriage, looked at Xu Si's excited eyes, and asked in a low voice, "De Xian, what happened, so anxious?"

Xu Si hurriedly said, "Marquis Wen, this matter is not trivial, let's go into the room and talk."

Seeing that Xu Si's hands were trembling with excitement, Lu Bu was even more puzzled, so he led him to the study, and asked again after the door was closed.

"Dexian, what happened?"

Xu Si suppressed his excitement, took out a small cloth bag, put it on the table, and stretched out his hand to open the small cloth bag layer by layer without saying a word.
