Early the next morning.

After Wu Liang got up, he first circled an unclaimed land in Pingcheng Township, which is closest to Chenliu County in Yongqiu County.

This place is close to the river, and the terrain is relatively gentle. Apart from being slightly far away from the county seat and towns, and there are no villages nearby, it is considered a very good land to open up wasteland.

In today's troubled times, there are actually not many such good places.

It's just that the people are living a precarious life. Without the protection of armed forces, no one dares to rush to open up wasteland. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to save the fields they have opened up, but they will also be very likely to get into trouble, and eventually end up...

The end of a broken family.

In addition, there is another important reason.

If you want to farm, it is not just enough to have a field, but you also need a series of necessities such as seeds, cattle, farm tools, etc.

Many people were so hungry that they had eaten all the seeds and sold off their farm tools, not to mention cattle, a luxury item that even the nobles and wealthy households were reluctant to kill for meat.

There is nothing. Even if the common people carve out a field, I am afraid they can only plant themselves in it...

Therefore, the essence of the farming system is to turn ordinary people into self-reliant "workers". The fields, seeds, cattle, and agricultural tools are provided by the government, and the ordinary people contribute their own efforts. The final harvest is shared by both parties, achieving mutually beneficial results.

The biggest difference from before is that.

The farming system directly bypasses the landlord class, and there are no middlemen to earn the price difference. The benefits of both parties are naturally more substantial than before, and Boss Cao's Cao Army will become the protective umbrella of the common people, and their lives will be more stable.

"Yang Wanli, come here."

After careful consideration, Wu Liang called Yang Wanli over.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

Yang Wanli quickly ran over and saluted.

"You take Yu Ji with you to inspect the location I drew to see which location is most suitable for building the Hu army camp, and then report back to me and prepare to start construction."

Wu Liang arranged, "In addition, after finishing this matter, you can take some people to Yuzhou in the south to recruit the refugees in that area and tell them that we can provide food, shelter, fields, seeds, and cattle here.

Those who are willing to live a good life with us will be registered. 50 people will be divided into groups. We will recruit 50 people to come back first. I will make my own arrangements."

"yes!"

Yang Wanli was a little confused about what Wu Liang meant, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He went back to find Yu Ji and set off directly.

So we arrived on the road.

Yang Wanli finally approached Yu Ji with a smile and asked curiously: "Old sir, what do you mean by our school captain? I was suddenly asked to recruit more than 2,000 refugees to come back, and to provide them with food, shelter, and fields.

, seeds, cattle and farm tools, this is a huge expense. Could it be that the captain has been stimulated by something recently and suddenly decided to be a good person? "

"For those refugees, this is indeed a good thing. At least they can survive this winter smoothly."

Yu Ji stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "But in my opinion, the young master may have other ideas, but I can't see through them for the time being. Maybe you can only wait until you recruit people back and see how the young master arranges these refugees."

Know what he is thinking."

…

at the same time.

Wu Liang had already brought Dian Wei and some small gifts to Zhu Lu's house.

While drinking last night, he had already asked clearly about Zhu Lu's address, and had thought about what he wanted to get from Zhu Lu, so as to better promote himself to turn Yongqiu into a pilot project for the farming system.

The nearly two thousand kilograms of gold that Boss Cao rewarded him was his budget.

Anyway, Boss Cao is only temporarily "storing" it with him, so he doesn't feel bad spending it at all. And if he can use this batch of gold to complete the "transformation" he wants, it will be spent wisely and it will be worth every penny.

When he arrived at Zhu Lu's house, Zhu Lu had not gotten up yet because he was drunk last night.

But the servants in the house already knew Wu Liang's identity last night and were even more wary of Wu Liang's methods. Therefore, when they saw him, they quickly invited him into the living room of the house and hurried to wake Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu did not dare to neglect at all. He simply tidied up and hurriedly came to the living room to meet each other.

"Brother Yongkang, have you disturbed your dream?"

Seeing Zhu Lu's swollen eye blisters and some bloodshot eyes, Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Wherever, Brother Youcai came to visit me in person. My house is in full bloom. It's important to have a drink and talk with Brother Youcai while I'm sleeping. Come and bring up the good wine I have collected!"

Zhu Lu seemed to have regarded Wu Liang as his most intimate friend. Instead of complaining at all, he greeted Wu Liang very warmly.

"Wait a minute."

Wu Liang stopped him and said sternly: "Brother Yongkang, you are welcome. The main reason I came here this time is to discuss good things about common development with you. I'm afraid drinking will cause trouble."

"Oh? In that case."

Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, then became interested and said quickly, "Then let's use tea instead of a bar. Come over and make a pot of my treasured oral tea!"

Tea in the mouth is named after Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

Every time a tea-picking girl picks a piece of tender tea tip, she holds it in her mouth with the tip facing in and tail facing out, soaks it in the girl's saliva for more than ten minutes, and then takes it out to dry in the sun, hence the name.

It is said that when Liu Bang was the king of Hanzhong, he often went to the tea town near the mountains and rivers to drink tea and discuss matters, and he drank this specially made oral tea.

"Slower!"

Wu Liang quickly stopped him again, and declined with a smile: "Brother Yongkang, I am a rough man, and I am really not used to drinking something as elegant as tea. How about we just talk about business directly."

In fact, this "tea in the mouth" is quite interesting when I think about it.

But the thought that it contained other people's saliva, even a girl's saliva, still gave Wu Liang a very strange feeling, which he really couldn't bear.

The main reason is that he has never seen these tea-picking girls, has no emotional foundation, let alone their appearance. In addition, the tea-picking girls are usually servants or children of poor families, and may not have the habit of cleaning their mouths.

condition……

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little bit sick again.

"Then bring me a glass of water for you talented brother!"

Zhu Lu had no choice but to reassure the servant, then he came over and asked with a smile, "Brother Youcai, tell me if you have any good things that can make us two brothers prosper together."

"I learned last night through the three elders that the Zhu family has more than 2,400 acres of farmland in Yongqiu County, all of which are managed by Yongkang Xiandi. Yongkang Xiandi is really young and promising."

Wu Liang first said with a smile.

"Brother Youcai is so complimentary."

Zhu Lu straightened his chest and showed a proud face, but he spoke modestly.

"However, after Zhang Miao's rebellion, many tenants in Yongqiu County were also arrested or ran away. Now less than 30% of the fertile land still cultivated by tenants has been reduced. Not only may the harvest in the coming year be greatly reduced, but also a large area of ​​fertile land will be deserted. But

Is this happening?"

Wu Liang then asked again.

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu's face suddenly fell again, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, "It's all because Zhang Miao is nothing. He rebelled when he wanted to. He actually welcomed Lu Bu into Chenliu and let him go."

The burning, killing and looting has greatly affected our Zhu family’s property, what the hell!”

"Brother Yongkang, don't worry, maybe... I have a way to help brother Yongkang change the current situation."

Wu Liang smiled noncommittally and said.

"Is what Brother Youcai said true?"

Zhu Lu regained his energy in an instant, looked at Wu Liang with surprise, and said repeatedly, "If this is true, the Zhu family's properties in other places will shrink in the coming year, but if I, Yongqiu, stand out, my father will definitely be right by then.

I’m so impressed that even my brothers don’t dare to look down on me anymore!”

"It's true."

Wu Liang nodded confidently and said with a smile, "Moreover, the Zhu family's property in Yongqiu is prosperous, and the people of Yongqiu will definitely live and work in peace and contentment. This is also an important achievement. When the time comes, I will say a few kind words for Yongkang brother, Yongkang
