Chen Gong quickly sent people to find Chen Deng, while Lu Bu sat in the governor's mansion and continued to read. As for the affairs, he left them to Chen Gong to take care of.
In this way, a very interesting scene formed. Chen Gong was busy dealing with Xuzhou affairs, and Lu Bu was reading a book on the side.
On the other side, Chen Deng was wondering what was going on when he heard Lu Bu calling him.
He also knew the rumors in Xuzhou in the past two days that Lu Bu actually started reading and left all affairs to Chen Gong to take care of.
As for the second one, it was normal in Chen Deng's eyes. After all, Lu Bu was not good at handling government affairs. However, when Lu Bu read a book, he felt it was irrelevant no matter how much he thought about it.
After Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, the Chen family did not immediately lean toward Lu Bu. They originally wanted to wait for Lu Bu to come to him so that they could also gain some benefits, but Lu Bu seemed to have simply forgotten about the Chen family.
Chen Deng knew that this was Chen Gong's fault. Today he was still thinking about visiting Lu Bu tomorrow.
After all, Lu Bu is now the lord of Xuzhou. If the Chen family doesn't lean over, it will be difficult in Xuzhou.
Who knew that Lu Bu would send someone to find him today? Chen Deng was still happy.
After walking for a while, they soon arrived at the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. Chen Deng walked directly in. Once inside, Chen Deng saw a shocking scene.
Lu Bu, that warrior, was actually reading!
And this serious look is simply more serious than when he was reading a book.
Chen Deng quickly suppressed his shock and was already thinking seriously about the future of the Chen family.
The reason why he looked down upon Lu Bu was simply because Lu Bu was just a warrior, and because of Lu Bu's reputation and background.
But now that Lu Bu has established a firm foothold in Xuzhou, since Lu Bu is so serious about making up for his shortcomings, other factors will be reduced.
Especially with Xuzhou as a starting point, there will still be some room for imagination in the future.
Chen Gong stopped what he was doing, looked at Chen Deng, and spoke to Lu Bu.
"Lord, Yuanlong is here."
After hearing this, Lu Bu gradually closed the book and looked at Chen Deng.
"Yuan Long is here, come and sit down, don't be formal."
Chen Deng also smiled when he heard Lu Bu's gentle tone.
"I have met my lord."
"Gongtai."
After Chen Deng finished speaking, he also walked in.
Lu Bu stood up, helped Chen Deng sit up, and then spoke slowly.
"I have been reading these past two days, working hard to make up for myself. I neglected Yuan Long, so please don't mind.
I have heard that Yuan Long is a great talent for a long time, so I asked Yuan Long to come here today. We have something important to discuss, and I hope Yuan Long can do his best to give advice. "
Chen Deng was really surprised when he heard Lu Bu's words.
If Chen Deng didn't know the Lu Bu in front of him, he would have thought it was Tao Qian.
Chen Deng's response was not slow either.
"My lord, this is my fault. I didn't take the initiative to come, so please punish me.
It is Deng's honor that the lord can call Deng to discuss important matters together. Deng is willing to do his best for the lord. "
Chen Gong watched and listened, feeling very satisfied. If nothing else, Chen Deng's attitude was very good.
Moreover, Chen Gong also believed that Chen Deng could see these changes in Lu Bu and what Lu Bu's changes meant. Chen Gong knew that Chen Deng would definitely know, otherwise, he would not be called Chen Yuanlong.
As for Lu Bu, although he was happy in his heart, that was all. After all, he was about to surrender to Cao Cao. What did he care about Chen Deng?
Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng with a smile.
"With Yuan Long's words, I feel relieved.
I called Yuan Long here because I wanted to start farming. Now Xuzhou is being massacred, many fields are abandoned, and many people are homeless and hungry.
I couldn't bear it. This farm could not only solve the army's food problem, but also help the people. Yuanlong knew a lot about farming and mulberry farming, so he let Yuanlong come.
This time, I intend to implement a military camp. It will be carried out when the army is idle and when the farming is busy. For the first time, I will need 5,000 acres of land.
If everything goes well and the grain production is considerable, the scale will be expanded.
What does Yuan Long think about this matter? "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, let alone Chen Deng, Chen Gong was equally surprised. Lu Bu would actually think of farming? Do you think of food and grass?
As for serving the people, neither of them thought deeply about it. After all, in this era, it is said that, but as for doing it, it is still open to question.
Even Liu Bei, although he talks about serving the people, is he really serving the people?
After capturing Yizhou, Zhao Yun proposed to allocate land to the refugees, but Liu Bei finally rejected it.
But no one can say that Liu Bei is not benevolent. Liu Bei is indeed benevolent and righteous, but this benevolence and righteousness are in contrast. In this era, there is really no prince who cares more about the people than Liu Bei.
Therefore, it all depends on the support of peers.
These two people were both from noble families. They didn't pay attention to Lu Bu's words, but they were happy that Lu Bu could say such words.
Chen Gong and Chen Deng were both shocked by Lu Bu's changes, especially Chen Gong. In the past, what were the common people?
In Lu Bu's eyes, he would never consider these things, but now he has seen them and started to do them. This is the basis for truly fighting for hegemony.
Although Chen Deng's thoughts were different from Chen Gong's, they were not much different. In Chen Deng's view, Lu Bu was laying the foundation for world hegemony.
Chen Gong was really relieved, and Chen Deng was seriously thinking about whether he should really take a good look at Lu Bu.
Chen Deng has not yet made up his mind.
Lu Bu looked at the two people's silence and thought they were really thinking. He almost couldn't help but ask them: "You didn't expect it. I, Lu Fengxian, am also going to farm."
Lu Bu felt very proud that he could surprise these ancient people, and he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, Lu Bu also really thought about doing something for the people. He knew the cruelty of this period, and he happened to have such a system. With such things, at least no matter how the situation changes, the lives of the people will not change. It should be better than now, right?
Lu Bu didn't know if he could do this, but since he came here and tried to do something while saving his life, it should be regarded as a contribution. If he did something, he didn't come here in vain, right?
Lu Bu didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, or whether it was very selfish, but he just wanted to save his life, and he wanted to save his life before doing anything else.
Soon, Chen Deng was the first to speak. After all, he was in charge of farming and mulberry affairs, and Lu Bu came to him to discuss the matter, so he had to speak first.
"My lord, I think that the farm work is feasible, especially if we try it first, so that even if it fails, there won't be much loss.
If successful, full implementation will begin.
I agree with what my lord said. We can seize the time to implement it now. If we delay it any longer, we will have to wait until next year. "
After Chen Deng finished speaking, Chen Gong also spoke.
"My lord, I second my opinion. What Yuan Long said is true. Since we have to do it, let's hurry up now."
Lu Bu asked the two to agree, and immediately did not hesitate.
"Okay, from now on, Yuanlong, you go and plan the fields immediately, and I'll go to the military camp and use the army.
Gongtai, as soon as Xuzhou responds to affairs, it will be handed over to you, and you will have full decision-making power. "
