Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu who was looking at him thoughtfully. Even though his suggestion was decisively rejected by Lu Bu, Chen Gong was very pleased and satisfied.
Lu Bu asked him for a solution. He would definitely find a way to solve it, but whether Lu Bu would adopt it or not was something Lu Bu had to think about.
Chen Gong knew that what he said would definitely make it more difficult for the people, but these were not the first factors he considered. His first consideration was to solve Lu Bu's problem.
Moreover, the people are not that important in his eyes. In his opinion, as long as Lu Bu's problem can be solved, it is okay for the people to sacrifice.
But what made Chen Gong happy and satisfied with Lu Bu was precisely that Lu Bu valued the people.
Because Chen Gong knows that no matter it is prosperous or troubled times, the people are equally important.
Because taxes, grain, and soldiers all come from the people, and if there are more people, it can bring more benefits to Lu Bu.
But these things need to be considered by Lu Bu. He is just a counselor.
And what Lu Bu just said undoubtedly proved that Lu Bu had really grown up, otherwise, he would not have said such words.
Chen Gong has not been following Lu Bu for a long time, but he knows that if it were Lu Bu in the past, he would never have said what he just said, and he would never do what Lu Bu is doing these days.
Although Chen Gong was very curious about why Lu Bu changed so much, and even became like two people, he didn't want to ask, as long as Lu Bu is really changing, or changing for the better, does the reason for the change matter? ?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Lu Bu didn't know what Chen Gong was thinking. He was really thinking about how to solve the problem of not having enough farm tools.
In Lu Bu's view, there is a saying that is right, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Why do we need agricultural tools to widen waterways, dig waterways and ditches?
Not just by relying on the sharpness of farm tools, the soil can be turned up or pried open quickly. After the soil is soft, it can be quickly cleared out.
The sides can then be cleaned and reinforced.
If you don’t have farm tools and just use your hands, you won’t be able to achieve the first step, let alone what needs to be done later.
Lu Bu felt that he had grasped the key point, sharp? Pry open or dig the soil?
Lu Bu had a flash of inspiration and immediately had an idea.
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with excitement.
"Gongtai, I have an idea. You go ahead and I'll go over first."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he walked out excitedly and quickly.
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu who couldn't wait and was a little stunned, but he quickly recovered and his face was full of joy.
Although he didn't know what Lu Bu thought of, at least Lu Bu thought about it, and he really had an idea. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, the matter itself was something to be happy about.
Because in Chen Gong's eyes, Lu Bu would think for himself instead of asking him and Zhang Liao everything.
Lu Bu on the other side found Gao Shun directly after walking out of the Prefecture Mufu.
Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu came specifically to see him. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was still a little surprised in his heart.
"Lord."
Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun happily. Lu Bu was very satisfied with Gao Shun.
"Gao Shun, I came to you on important matters. Please immediately prepare a thousand spears and a thousand swords for me. If the swords are not enough, then I will prepare one thousand and five spears and five hundred swords."
I'm of great use and I need it now. Please work hard and prepare it immediately. I'll have someone come and get it. "
That's right, the solution Lu Bu came up with was the weapons in the army.
In terms of sharpness, the weapons are not bad, and they can also pry open the soil. Although the speed is not as fast as professional farm tools, it is still better than using hands, right?
Moreover, if the speed is slow, just call in more people. He now has tens of thousands of troops, is he still worried about having no one?
At that time, all the road sections on the drawing will be started at the same time, and Chen Deng will be responsible for inspection and comparison. The speed is also not slow.
As for cleaning the soil in the waterway, it has already been loosened, so you can just clean it out with your hands. If it doesn't work, just make some tools out of wooden boards.
Although the amount of work is large, as long as there are enough people, the speed will not be much slower.
Moreover, after these weapons are used, if they are uncoiled or have gaps, they can be rebuilt again.
What is lacking now is time, and these two thousand spears and swords in total, even if they are added with a few others, will not affect the army.
These ordnance can be replenished from the warehouse.
Gao Shun listened to Lu Bu's words. Although he was full of doubts, he did not ask and immediately carried out the execution.
"Yes, my lord.
It only takes two sticks of incense to prepare. "
After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded. He had no doubts about Gao Shun's words.
"Okay, let's get ready."
Later, Lu Bu came to the rice-growing farmland again and called Cheng Lian.
"Cheng Lian, you go to Gao Shun's place now. I asked him to prepare spears and swords. After you bring them over, put them all down and start working directly."
Cheng Lian was stunned when he heard Lu Bu's words. He used spears and swords to dig into the soil. Did he hear it correctly?
Such a luxurious weapon was actually used for this. Cheng Lian wanted to ask Lu Bu if he was wrong.
Obviously, Cheng Lian didn't dare to ask, so he immediately took people to Gao Shun's place.
Around two sticks of incense, Cheng Lian came back with men, as well as spears and swords.
"Lord, there are 1,300 spears and 700 swords here, all brought here."
Lu Bu nodded and then spoke.
"Okay, now you distribute all these spears and swords."
Cheng Lian divided the ordnance, and Lu Bu asked Chen Deng again.
"Yuanlong, the tools for digging the soil are now ready. You can start making arrangements."
When Chen Deng heard this, he looked at the sergeants with spears and swords, and the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
Even though he is very cultured and elegant, he almost wants to curse at this moment. These sergeants are just going to fight with these weapons. What are they doing?
Chen Deng's head felt numb just thinking about it.
Then he looked at Lu Bu.
"Lord, this...is this really possible?"
Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng and smiled helplessly.
"Yuanlong, there's nothing we can do about it. There's no preparation at Gongtai. We can't just take the farm tools from the people's hands.
After all, people also have to farm.
As for these spears and swords, although they do look a bit scary, let’s try them first.
As long as we can, even if the speed is slower, there are so many of us, we can complete it before planting.
If it really doesn't work, we will think of a solution at that time. "
Chen Deng saw that Lu Bu had said this, what else could he say?
Say no? How to solve it?
Chen Deng was helpless. Since Lu Bu said he would give it a try, he had no choice but to give it a try.
Soon, Chen Deng began to make arrangements.
Chen Deng arranged people for each section according to the drawings. The main thing to do now is to widen the main waterway. As for the ditch, the soil in the farmland should be softer. It will be done faster than this, so he put it at the end.
Then, at Lu Bu's order, everyone started to move.
And Lu Bu also joined in person.
