Lu Bu saw Chen Deng approaching and took the initiative to greet him. When Chen Deng and Cheng Lian saw this, they immediately walked faster.
"Yuanlong, have you already made the drawings?"
Chen Deng looked at Lu Bu who had an eager expression and listened to his gentle tone. He felt very pleased, and he also recognized Lu Bu even more.
"My lord, fortunately you have fulfilled your duty. You have done a good job."
Chen Deng immediately took out the drawings and began to explain them again.
"Lord, there are already water channels flowing through the farmland in this place. We only need to widen the main water channel and branch out into branch channels.
At that time, these 5,000 acres of land will be divided into many small plots of farmland, and a ditch will be dug to isolate them from each other, so that each piece of land can be effectively irrigated.
As for drainage, I am going to dig a waterway behind the farmland to connect the ditches in the farmland.
At the same time, sew it up at the connection point and set a height. When the water is higher than this height, it will flow out toward the waterway.
With water channels, there will be no blockage. Even if there is a heavy rain, the excess water can be drained out as soon as possible.
If these farmlands need more water, then the interface at the connection point should be raised higher.
This is my initial thought, please correct me. "
Lu Bu looked at the drawings and listened to Chen Deng's words, and was very emotional. Professional people are just different.
As for the advice Chen Deng mentioned, he couldn't find any shortcomings. He might even not be as good as Chen Deng, so why should he give advice?
"Yuanlong, you did it very detailed and very well. I might as well just do what you said."
After hearing this, Chen Deng was very satisfied. After all, it was his hard work, but he was still very humble.
"My lord, this award is all due to my lord's trust. I have not let you down, so I am extremely happy."
Lu Bu looked at the humble Chen Deng in front of him, and he really couldn't relate to that wallflower Chen Deng. The contrast to him seemed a bit too big?
Lu Bu no longer thought about it. He was going to be Cao Cao's man anyway. Why should he worry about these things? Leave it to Cao Cao to have a headache.
"Yuanlong doesn't have to be humble. This is your ability. If you are not as good as me, you are not as good as me. This is already a fact, and I can still admit it frankly.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s get ready to start work. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he immediately looked at Cheng Lian.
"Hurry up and bring people with you. According to Yuan Long, start the work directly and strive to complete it as soon as possible."
When Cheng Lian heard this, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Lu Bu looked puzzled, and then Cheng Lian's voice came.
"Lord, the manpower is ready, but the farm tools on hand are not enough."
When Lu Bu heard this, he was speechless. Can't the co-author start working now?
Lu Bu immediately looked at Chen Deng again.
"Yuanlong, are there any farm tools that can be made at Gongtai?"
When Chen Deng heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he didn't know about this either.
Chen Deng really wanted to ask Lu Bu. What did you ask Chen Gong about?
After all, he didn't dare to say it, so Chen Deng immediately spoke.
"My lord, I have been busy with drawings since yesterday. I don't know about the farm tools."
Lu Bu suddenly slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"Well, Yuan Long, it's not my fault, don't take it to heart.
I'll go ask the public station right now. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, Chen Deng and Cheng Lian were both shocked. Lu Bu would admit his mistake for such a trivial matter?
However, the facts were right in front of them, and they could not tolerate disbelief. They could only lament that Lu Bu had changed so much, and Chen Deng became more interested in Lu Bu.
Lu Bu gave Chen Deng the feeling that after being in contact with him for a long time, he could find new and different things about Lu Bu at any time. However, these changes were still good. How could he not be curious.
Lu Bu ignored the expressions of the two people. He just wanted to solve the problem and finish it as soon as possible to avoid delaying the rice planting.
"Cheng Lian, you are now following Yuan Long with your brother who has a guy in your hand. You will all obey Yuan Long's arrangements. Whatever he says, you will do whatever he wants.
Yuanlong, you take some people there first, and start working now. I'll ask Gongtai to bring over some more farm tools. "
After Cheng Lian and Chen Deng heard this, they immediately agreed, and Lu Bu also started to look for Chen Gong.
Lu Bu felt very heavy in his heart. He only hoped that with Chen Gong's wisdom, he could discover this problem as early as possible and was already prepared.
Otherwise, Lu Bu's second step in farming would be a failure.
Lu Bu quickly came to the Prefectural Mufu and found Chen Gong.
"Gongtai, we don't have enough farm tools now. Have you prepared them here?"
When Chen Gong noticed Lu Bu's arrival, he also stopped what he was doing. Chen Gong couldn't be more satisfied with Lu Bu now.
And after listening to Lu Bu's words, he was also stunned.
"Lord, haven't all the farm tools in the treasury been distributed? Isn't that enough?"
When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, his heart sank, because he knew that Chen Gong seemed to be unprepared, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
"Gongtai, you don't know. Time is tight now and a lot of manpower is needed to do it. There are not enough farm tools now.
Gongtai, we can't delay the time now, otherwise, it will delay the planting of rice. Is there any solution? "
Lu Bu placed his hope on Chen Gong. After all, Chen Gong was his only adviser, and Lu Bu could not find anyone else.
As for Chen Deng, Lu Bu has not considered it yet.
When Chen Gong heard this, he frowned and thought deeply. From Lu Bu's words, he knew that time was very tight. If he missed it, the farming would fail.
Moreover, there is a shortage of farm tools now. As long as there are some, it can be solved.
Chen Gong thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu also looked at Chen Gong with hope.
“My lord, if we rebuild farm tools now, the time is too short, and we cannot provide enough farm tools in a short time.
Only by collecting the farm tools from the people for our use can we do it in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, I also asked people to make farm tools. After they are used, they will be returned to the people. From next year, we will no longer have to worry about farm tools. "
After Chen Gong finished speaking, Lu Bu fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at Chen Gong and spoke slowly and seriously.
"Gongtai, you can do what you said, but I don't want to do it.
Spring plowing is about to end, and the people also need to plant. If we collect all the people's farm tools and use them ourselves, our problem is solved, but what about the people?
I, Lu Fengxian, plant rice, not only to meet our own needs, but also to benefit the people. If it succeeds, I don’t know about other places, but at least in Xuzhou, no people will starve to death.
There is no need to mention this matter in public. I will figure it out myself.
How can a living person die from choking in urine? There must be a way to solve it! "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he began to think deeply about how to solve this matter.
