204 When Kuaiji was looking for food and met Yu Ji, most of the contributions were returned to Fusu.

In 219 BC, the 28th year of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, on his first trip to the east, he was attacked by an assassin in Bolangsha. Fortunately, the assassination did not know that the car in which the true body of the Emperor was mistakenly captured the deputy car, and the Emperor was not good. Even so, the Emperor Ying Zheng was still furious and ordered the world to search for the accomplices. However, because there was no clue, it became a headless unsolved case, and in the end he had to go to trouble.

After Emperor Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, Prince Fusu's mission to supervise the country was completely over. Lu Bu led a group of subordinates and hundreds of elite soldiers to escort Fusu to continue to go to Hetao, border.

The reason why the First Emperor Ying Zheng was so anxious to drive Prince Fusu back to Hetao was that according to some "good news" from the palace: That was because Prince Fusu's approach to handling some affairs was completely different from the expected result of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, and it could even be said to be contrary to the situation to be exaggerated! This discovery was completely unacceptable for the First Emperor, who had just suffered an assassination and was in extreme mood. However, Fusu's approach was also approved by many ministers, which made the First Emperor unable to bear it for a day, so he directly drove Prince Fusu back to Hetao to "train".

Lu Bu didn't care about the depressed mood of Prince Fusu at this time. He was in a good mood for returning to Hetao as soon as possible. After all, General Meng Tian, ​​who had a lot of talks in Hetao, and two nominal fiancées, Lu Zhi and Lu Ge, were two nominal fiancées. Lu Bu even planned to regard the Hetao land as the foundation for his careful management. Although Xianyang City is far more prosperous and luxurious than Hetao, Lu Bu still kept thinking about Hetao in his heart, so returning to Hetao one day earlier was even more happy for Lu Bu, which was exactly the opposite of Prince Fusu.

Time flies like an arrow, and the moon passes by like flowing water. Three years of time are not long or short. With the careful management of Meng Tian and Lu Bu, Hetao has long disappeared from the scene before. Hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers responsible for guarding the Hetao land led their families to Hetao to settle down in Hetao in batches. These people are the first batch of people who truly reclaimed land in Hetao. It was with them that led to the wave of poor farmers in Guanzhong and Guandong who lacked land to go to Hetao to clear the land together in order to obtain a piece of cultivated land.

In order to arrange the people who came to Hetao to open up the land, Meng Tian led a large army to cross the Hetao Great Wall in batches at the suggestion of Lu Bu, and seized countless cattle, sheep and horses from the hands of the nomadic peoples such as the Huns and Donghu to the north of the Great Wall.

In addition to the horses being stored as military supplies, cattle and sheep, which can be used as food and help reclaim farmland, are distributed to the military family members and the Guanzhong and Guandong people who have defected to the Guanzhong and Guandong people in a certain proportion. Of course, the largest proportion is of course occupied by the military family members, followed by the Guanzhong and finally the Guandong people. This is not the decision made by Meng Tian and Lu Bu, but the decision made by all the Qin generals.

Countless prisoners and criminals from all over Kanto who were arranged to build the Hetao Great Wall could not receive the wages that the laborers could receive, but the most basic food requirements were still provided by border troops such as Meng Tian. However, although the water and grass of Hetao were plump, they had not been fully developed. Just some cattle and sheep and pitiful grain harvests could not meet the daily rations these people could not meet.

Although Lu Bu is not an agriculturalist, he also knows that compared with the corn that most farmers now cultivate, wheat and rice are the most common mainstream farming grains for people in the north and south in later generations. In addition to the food produced by these two kinds of grains is better than corn, the most important reason that can replace corn is their high output.

The wheat produced in the Hetao area is very famous in later generations, so it is not difficult to find some wheat in Hetao. However, rice and other grains still require Lu Bu to go to the south to search for them. Some people may think that growing rice in the north is a bit whimsical, but it should be noted that the water conservancy of Hetao is no less than that of those water towns in the south!

Most of the valleys in Hetao are important channels between the north and south of the ancient desert. Helan Mountain stands west of the Yellow River, Luya Mountain is blocked east of the Yellow River, and is adjacent to the northern Shaanxi Plateau in the south. It blocks the river by mountains, and the situation is dangerous. The surface of the earth is undulating, high in the middle and low in the surrounding area. The Yellow River in the territory has a stable water flow, fertile land on both sides, and can be cultivated and pastoralized. There is a saying that "the Yellow River has many harms, but only one set of wealth is rich."

The south is beneficial to the water conservancy of the Yangtze River, while Hetao benefits from the most stable section of the Yellow River. If you don’t use such good hydraulic resources, wouldn’t that be sorry for the best gift God gave to Hetao?

Therefore, after asking Meng Tian for instructions, Lu Bu led a group of people to search for rice seeds in the south. On the way to search for rice seeds, Lu Bu also met a former old friend: Yu Ji.

At this time, Yu Ji's grandfather had passed away, but she was following her brother Yu Ziqi for life. At that time, Lu Bu and others encountered a group of more than 200 robbers outside. During the battle, Zhongliping's spear broke and needed to buy a handy spear. Lu Bu and others came to the blacksmith shop in Kuaiji County, but happened to meet Yu Ji who was delivering tea to his blacksmith brother Yu Ziqi. When Yu Ji shouted happily at Lu Bu, Lu Bu recognized the girl in front of him, who was the simple-dressed girl who had rescued from the King of Chu that day.

Yu Ziqi obviously knew Lu Bu's kindness to their family through Yu Ji, so he led everyone into the backyard of the shop and set up a banquet to entertain Lu Bu and his group. During the banquet, Yu Ziqi and Lu Bu talked about their martial arts, and asked for a while to compete with Lu Bu for one or two. Of course, there is no need to say much. Although Yu Ziqi was very strong because of his years of ironwork, he did not have the exquisite sword skills that were passed to the Yu family. It was only a matter of defeat to Lu Bu in just a few tricks.

On the contrary, Lu Bu valued Yu Ziqi's extraordinary talent and a good martial arts master. What's even more rare is that Yu Ziqi also has a very good forging skills, Lu Bu tentatively asked Yu Ziqi if he was willing to go to Hetao with him to "get a life".

Yu Ziqi was unable to let go of this family business in Kuaiji City, but he could not withstand the attractive conditions that Lu Bu promised him, and the private persuasion of his sister Yu Ji, so he nodded and agreed to go to Hetao with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was very happy about this, but the brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi who were following Lu Bu were slight hostile to Yu Ziqi, who also had a beautiful sister. This was not that Yu Ziqi offended these two brothers, but that these two brothers had a hostile thought that was derived from their obviously more beautiful Yu Ji from the standpoint of his sister Lu Zhi and Lu Yu.

.......................................Separation line...............

"Fengxian! The amount of food obtained in the autumn harvest this time is more than ten times that of the past! I must report this information to His Majesty the First Emperor!!" Meng Tian excitedly shouted to Lu Bu who was writing something beside him with the information he had just obtained.

After putting down what was in his hand, taking the information from Meng Tian to check it, he smiled and said, "The reason why this is so is that we have made considerable progress in the cultivation of Hetao. Otherwise, no matter how productive wheat and rice are, they will not reach a level of tens of times more than corn."

Meng Tian waved his hand indifferently: "Although that is the case, these wheat and rice not only taste much better than the hard-to-swallow corn, but also produce more than corn, which is completely worthy of being promoted nationwide. If this matter can be accomplished, then we will not only make great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, but also benefit the people. Why not do so?"

Lu Bu threw the bamboo slips about the autumn harvest in his hand on the table, pointed to the outside and smiled, "I'm afraid that I can't get around Young Master Fusu, so much of this contribution will not fall on me."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was a Fusu Young Master above his head who was brought to the border by the First Emperor. So as Lu Bu said, even if this matter was of great significance, first of all, he had to go up to Young Master Fusu before reporting to the First Emperor.

Otherwise, not only will Mr. Fusu be dissatisfied with them circumventing him and reporting to the First Emperor directly, but even Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor would think that Meng Tian and Lu Bu would not take Fusu they sent to heart. Not to mention asking for credit, it would be difficult to say whether they would cause more troubles that did not exist.

"Although that's the case, we are bound to be a credit for ours." Although most of the credit will be attributed to Mr. Fusu, who did not do anything, Meng Tian did not care too much. After all, Mr. Fusu was also the next Emperor of Great Qin. Pleasing him is not the same as pleasing the future Emperor of Great Qin? No matter how you calculate this, you won't suffer too much.

Lu Bu laughed and didn't continue to say more. He could roughly guess what Meng Tian was thinking, but no matter what he said, he could not tell Meng Tian at this time that Lu Bu could assert that the future Emperor II of Qin would probably not be Prince Fusu. Otherwise, as soon as this was said, I was afraid that Meng Tian would turn against him on the spot and offend the current First Emperor Ying Zheng and Prince Fusu. After all, this is the royal internal affairs of the other person. You, Lu Bu, are just one of their ministers, how dare you interrupt the royal internal affairs without authorization?
