I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 257 Planting Potatoes, Choosing a Site in the Northland
Lu Bu was immediately delighted by Jia Xu's remarks, nodded and said, "It's really impressive! You're full of flesh! You have a big waist, a tiger's back, and a general's belly. Cao Cao, Xu Zhu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei are far worse than you."

"Your Majesty, look at you!"

"Which general is not like this? How can we convince the crowd otherwise." Zhang Liao laughed back angrily.

What Zhang Liao said was indeed the truth.

This can be regarded as an occupational disease of a general. A general doesn't say how strong his body is, but at least he can't be sick.

Like Jia Xu and Chen Gong, it seems that civil servants don't look like generals.

Lu Bu turned his eyes to look at Ma Chao, and said with a smile, "Look at General Sweet Potato, he's much fairer than you. He's a young man with white noodles, but he's also become a general."

this comparison.

Zhang Liao and Ma Chao couldn't help staring.

Suddenly just smiled.

Ma Chao looked much thinner and fairer than Zhang Liao, but Ma Chao's strength in all aspects was not weak at all.

"Let's talk about my lord, if I'm a young boy with white noodles, how could I become General Sweet Potato?" Ma Chao was not annoyed, he knew that Lu Bu Jiaxu was joking with them.

So Ma Chao is also very happy to play around like this.

There is no burden.

"Didn't Chen Gongtai say that, in order to reward you for finding potatoes and sweet potatoes, he specially conferred the title of general."

"The titles of generals are all sealed, don't say that I am stingy." Lu Bu smiled and looked at Zhang Liao and Ma Chao: "Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Su Lie, you wait for three people, but I am the three generals of Xiliang potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn! How majestic it is! !"

"Not bad." Jia Xu nodded approvingly.

Even Chen Gongtai, who was behind the blame, laughed and approved it very much.

This made Zhang Liao and Ma Chao dumbfounded.

of course.

Everyone knows it’s a joke. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn generals can be called privately, but it’s really on the table...

If nothing else, the momentum is much weaker.It doesn't matter if you say it in private, but if you really call it like this when you are marching and fighting, it is really laughable.

After making a few jokes.

Lu Bu called the two of them here to give instructions: "Wen Yuan and Mengqi, I called you this time because I have important instructions."

"Oh, what's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"My lord, what's the matter? Just leave it to us." Zhang Liao and Ma Chao's expression softened when he heard that there was something urgent.

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and Chen Gong.

After Jia Xu and Chen Gong nodded, Lu Bu went on to say, "I just discussed with Wenhe Gongtai about the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and I plan to develop a farm near Beidi County and Anding County."

"Used to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn."

"Specially used for next year's breeding, the location and manpower are in a hurry."

"Because the matter is so important, Wenhe proposed that a group of troops be stationed, so I thought of you."

"It happens that there is no war in autumn, and there is nothing to train in leisure time after winter, while protecting the farm from intrusion. Why not do it."

Lu Bu finished speaking.

It also explained how many people are needed and the terrain near the farm.

There are many mountains and forests, there are often tigers, leopards and wolves, and there are many wild boars.

"That's no problem."

"Since the lord ordered it, I have no problem waiting." Not only was there no problem, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao were both ready to move.

After the handover and negotiation, Lu Bu made an appointment with Chen Gong, Ma Chao and the others.

The next day, I went to the site of the farm to take a look.

The next day.

Led by Chen Gong, a group of dozens of people rode to the vicinity of Anding County on the border of Beidi.

"I said, why did you bring us all together?"

"Instead of dividing the army into two groups."

When they reached the field Chen Gong mentioned, Jia Xu had a smile on his face.

"This is indeed the best location." Chen Gong looked at several agricultural officials and a hundred or so dark-skinned farmers gathered not far away.

"Just here? It's really good." Lu Bu also came from Chituma, grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it: "This land is good, I think there will be a good harvest next year."

"I have seen Lord Lu Bu..."

"I have met Master Jia Xu and Master Chen Gong."

The agricultural and mulberry officials came to say hello first, and behind the three agricultural officials were the nearby farming experts.

"I have seen you!"

"I've met Master Jia Xu..." These old farmers also greeted Lu Bu and the others in a mannered manner.

A long time ago, Chen Gong had greeted the officials here, that's why the officials waited here with the old farmers nearby.

"Not bad, not bad, they are indeed good farmers." Zhang Liao was very satisfied when he saw that these old farmers were all dark-skinned and had calluses on their hands.

Ma Chao also nodded. He looked at the surrounding terrain: "This place is not bad. There are water and mountains. It happens that the terrain of this land is very flat. If we build a farm nearby, there should be enough land, right?"

Ma Chao was worried.

After all, apart from considering the farm.

It is also necessary to build camps for the soldiers and the old farmers who are farming.

If the Anzha comes down later, the families of these old farmers will also need a lot of places.

Chen Gong said with a smile: "It's enough, this side can accommodate at least 3 people. This still excludes the need for arable land, but the surrounding mountains and forests are densely covered. It was developed before, but because of wolves, tigers and leopards, the people around are afraid to come here. farming."

"In addition, some time ago, we were in Qianghu again, and there were not enough soldiers."

"It's just about to cultivate potatoes and sweet potatoes. Stationing here can clean up the wolves, tigers and leopards in the forest. When the potatoes and sweet potatoes are harvested next year, the people may be moved by the news."

Following Chen Gong's explanation, Ma Chao himself walked around.

It was found that, as Chen Gong said, the place here is big enough.It is not a problem to be able to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of land.

"I think this place is good, and it must be suitable for growing potatoes." Zhang Liao, who has a certain understanding of potato habits, is very satisfied with the terrain here.

"I have no opinion either."

"That's great! Then it's settled." When Lu Bu saw Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, neither of them had any objections.Once it is settled, immediately arrange it for Chen Gong and Jia Xu, and ask them to find a manpower.

Set up the farms and camps here as soon as possible.

After explaining to Chen Gong.

Lu Bu thought that he still had something to do this winter, and he was going to train the Qianghu at the camp guarded by [-] Qiang people at the West Sea Lake.

"Are there [-] Qiang Hu elite stationed at Xihai Lake?" Jia Xu was startled when he heard Lu Bu say that there were [-] Qiang Hu elite stationed at Xihai Lake in Jincheng.

"Jia Xu, what are you afraid of? Lord Qianghu just took care of it." Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing when he saw Jia Xu was taken aback.

Jia Xu shook her head with a smile and said, "No, I'm just surprised that the lord wants to educate these Qiang Hu? This is a bit tricky."

Immediately, Jia Xu proposed that the most important thing to educate Qianghu is to let Qianghu learn Han culture.

The most basic thing is to be able to speak Chinese. If you can’t speak Chinese, even if you have great skills, you can still speak with a duck.

"Of course, I have my own plans." Lu Bu explained to Jia Xu with a smile.
