    Yuan Yi was originally from Kuaiji. Hearing that Dongyang County was recruiting craftsmen, he came to apply.

    He was indeed reused and was responsible for the production of the workshop every day.

    Two days ago, his friend Xu Cheng came to him excitedly and asked him to borrow some brick-making skills from him.

    This is nothing, but that guy actually showed off in front of him and met the governor!

    The governor also praised Xu Cheng as a great craftsman comparable to Lu Ban, but Yuan Yi sneered at this.

    Meeting the governor is true, but complimenting him is definitely false.

    ¡°However, it really feels like meeting such a high official.

    "Who is Yuan Yi? Come with me, I want to see you!"

    A man dressed as a sergeant said.

    Yuan Yi ran over in a hurry, and he saw two drawings that he would never forget.

    "Can it be made?" Liu Ke asked, of course these are the drawings of the curved shaft plow and the barrel cart.

    Compared with the previous plows, there are several major improvements in the Quyuan plow.  The first is to change the straight and long shafts to curved and short shafts, and install a plow disc that can rotate freely on the shaft head. This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, flexible operation, and saves manpower and time.  Animal power.

    This thing was invented in the Tang Dynasty and was used in the Qing Dynasty. It is an important symbol of the maturity of ancient farming technology.

    The drum cart is a tool that uses water flow as power to collect water for irrigation.

    Once these two things come out, agriculture will develop greatly.

    "Of course!" Yuan Yi trembled.

    "Popularize and promote it." Liu Ke said calmly.

    "Such a great achievement, a villain can't bear it!" Yuan Yi knelt down.

    "Just go and do it." Liu Ke waved his hand impatiently.

    Yuan Yi walked out with a dissatisfied expression.

    Improving agriculture is only part of Liu Ke¡¯s plan. After all, he has to feed more people.

    Since he became the governor of Yangzhou, countless refugees gathered in Dongyang.

    Suddenly the population expanded to 500,000!

    Some prefects knew that the refugees were going to Dongyang, and even distributed rations just to lure these troublemakers away.

    "Firstly, the officials can govern the Qingming Festival, and secondly, they can please the new governor."

    You see, we have opened warehouses to store grain.

    During this period, Liu Ke received many gifts.  The governors from various places actively sent envoys to deliver gifts, but did not mention a word about government affairs.

    In other words, they were only willing to hold Liu Ke up high and did not want him to interfere in government affairs.

    Liu Ke is also very "interested". As long as there is enough food, he doesn't care about other things at all.  I just occasionally said in front of the messenger: Is this gift too light?

    Liu Ke doesn¡¯t care about government affairs, but he is the most active in military expansion.

    With an order, the army expanded to 50,000 men.

    There are ten thousand Tiger Guards, led by Zhao Yun.

    Five thousand people were trapped in the camp, led by Gao Shun.

    The Dongyang cavalry camp consisted of five thousand men, led by Tai Shici.

    Shesheng camp has 5,000 men, led by Huang Zhong.

    The heavy cavalry camp consisted of 3,000 men, under the command of Zhang He.

    There are 2,000 guards in the camp, led by Dian Wei.

    The following are the garrison troops:

    There are fifteen thousand Dongyang Guards, led by Guan Hai and Mi Fang.

    The Iron Niu Guard consisted of five thousand men, led by Liao Hua.

    Dian Wei has never been a handsome man, so this time he took the initiative to give up his position and command a guard battalion of only 2,000 people to protect Liu Ke.

    He has wanted to do this for a long time!

    It is the joy of life to charge with Liu Ke.

    As for the Shesheng camp, they were all archers equipped with Yuan Rong crossbows.  The heavy cavalry battalion is of course mainly composed of heavy cavalry, but the equipment is not complete.

    After the Yellow Turban War, Liu Ke's fame had spread to various places. He took the opportunity to make a military and horse deal with Gongsun Zan.  In view of Gongsun Zan's character, Liu Ke directly traded the fine steel weapons. As for the armor, he only provided a few pairs of armors.

    Dongyang¡¯s livestock has also been greatly replenished. It can be said that this transaction is mutually beneficial.

    However, this matter reached the court, and Zhang Rang went crazy.

    This time, He Jin was rare and silent. It was not until Yuan Shao made it clear what was at stake that he came to help.

    In fact, Yuan Shao was also frightened. Liu Dingfang was crazy about expanding his army. Did he really have evil intentions?

    Later, the Yellow Turbans broke out in the Second Spring, and the court finally settled the matter.

     However, the emperor's edict still came, asking Liu Ke to come to Beijing to explain.

    Liu Ke threw it into the trash can.

    We are busy, whoever is free can go!

    Liu Ke is busy making saddles and horseshoes, which are the real artifacts of the cavalry.

    Logically speaking, training a cavalry will not produce results within two or three years.  But with saddles and horseshoes, it's different enough to shorten it to a few months.

    "Besides, Liu Ke doesn't ask for riding and shooting.

    Riding and shooting is the soul of the light cavalry, but it is too difficult for a primitive army.

    The prairie people grew up on horses, so they are very keen on riding and shooting.

    The Central Plains is different.

    In order to make up for this shortcoming, Liu Ke prepared hand crossbows for the Dongyang Cavalry Camp.

    ?The next step is to train the army in full swing, some physical training courses, and then directly to the construction site to move bricks.

    Yes, Liu Ke has already circled the land and is preparing to build a super city. He will directly use gravel and reinforced concrete to build the city walls very quickly.

    The amount of cement and steel consumed will be astronomical, but Liu Ke still grits his teeth and perseveres.

    As for the diversion of the moat, it is a huge project.

    Out of the population of 500,000, excluding the elderly who cannot work and children who have no physical strength, there are still 300,000 left.

    Men move mountains and transport rocks, while women clear wasteland and farm.

    In this regard, some people expressed concern that the stall was too big!

    "Master, should we wait a little slower?" Lu Su said with a bitter look on his face.

    ???????????????????????????????????All work is unpaid, but the management is full.

    And three meals a day.

    Once people start working and their food intake doubles, the whole of Dongyang will be starved.

    "Time is not waiting for me. The world is about to be in chaos. Without the protection of the city wall, the people will not feel at ease." Liu Kedao.

    This is what the ancients said. Having a shell is more important than anything else.  What's more, the war is in chaos, and their wishes are even more fervent.

    So, as long as they have enough to eat, even if they don¡¯t get paid, they will work hard.

    "When the grain harvest in Yangzhou is finished, go to Xuzhou to harvest it. If there is no more grain in Xuzhou, go to Yuzhou." Liu Kedao said, why don't you put the money in the treasury?

    So, Mi Zhu ran around pitifully and became a grain collector.

    Liu Keli made his younger brother Mi Fang the deputy commander-in-chief of Dongyang Guard against all opinions, which was a reward for the Mi family's efforts.

    Mi Zhu also knows this, but this is not enough!

    Because Zhao Yun became the commander of the Tiger Guard with ten thousand people as soon as he arrived, the Mi family can go further.

    Afraid that Mi Zhu would be resentful, Guo Jia also specifically tried to persuade him: "Zizhong, you have already occupied a high position in the civil service group. For me to be able to command the Dongyang Guard is already an act of mercy beyond the law."

    But Lu Su and Xun You put too much pressure on Mi Zhu, so he must show his value.

    ??And harvesting grain is the foundation of Dongyang at present.

    Xun You is in charge of building the city, while Lu Su continues to open up wasteland. He is under great pressure to achieve self-sufficiency for 500,000 people next year.

    Even the youngest Chen Qun became the county magistrate, and he handled all the trivial matters that happened to the 500,000 people.

    Guo Jia coordinates everything. Problems that everyone can't handle will be thrown to him. After he solved most of them, he threw the rest to Liu Ke.

    The only thing that no one should worry about is the army, but does Liu Ke dare to ignore it?

    No matter how heartless the lord is, you still need to let the soldiers know your existence, otherwise you won¡¯t know whose soldiers they are.

    As long as this period of time is passed, Liu Ke can take care of his Yangzhou.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
