At present, the number of horses purchased from the Qin State every month is basically maintained at 2,000, and the replenishment of livestock such as cattle and sheep is even more.

The importance of the replenishment of horses to the formation of the cavalry army does not need to be said too much, but cattle are urgently needed by the people, after all, the south is basically planted with rice, and the paddy fields are not suitable for using war horses to cultivate. And the large-scale purchase of sheep has something to do with Lu Zhejun's food.

Lu Zhejun's morning food is generally steamed bread with millet porridge, the noon meal must have meat with steamed bread or rice, and in the evening it is rice with some leftover bones from noon.

The physique of people who eat meat cannot be compared with those who do not eat meat, and the durability of training the body also needs a lot of nutrients to support, so even if he spends a lot on meat, Lu Zhe has never been stingy in buying sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and other things.

In fact, pigs are now domestic, chickens, ducks, geese in the south is also quite suitable for large-scale breeding, after all, the most important thing in the south is the water system, and chickens, ducks, geese as long as there is such a pool, to be honest, the pond is seasonally replenished with fish fry, properly run the farm.

However, there is a problem, the most feared thing is chicken plague and the like, and now there is no good way to eliminate the disease of livestock, so it is advisable to breed livestock and then have a disease such as chicken plague, which is likely to cause the unfortunate incident of farmers jumping into the river to commit suicide.

"Is it up to the government to do it first?" Xiao He has a say in administration, and he thought about it for a while: "If there is someone who is willing to follow, then there will be no fortification." ”

It is not a good administrative means, and the pollution of chickens, ducks and geese to the water source is also great, and now people generally do not use wells for drinking water, but in the city, outside the city, rivers and streams to carry water home, if the scale of breeding becomes larger, it will inevitably cause the spread of some kind of disease.

There are too many worries about a wide range of knowledge, and if he didn't know the relevant knowledge, Lu Zhe wouldn't have so many troubles. After all, the ancients didn't care about any water pollution, and they didn't have that common sense at all, at most they just thought that the water was dirty, as for whether there were any germs...... Let people who are not cold in their lives can take a bath in the river and stream in the summer, take a bath in a cold place when they are born, and take a bath when they die. It's a joke!

In fact, it's not that you don't take a bath, it's not that you don't like to take a bath, it's that firewood is difficult to obtain, but it's not the modern environment where no one cuts firewood and dry firewood everywhere. Hot water is necessarily needed for bathing, and how much firewood is needed to boil a pot of boiling water, do you know? Isn't there enough firewood to cook food, and you still boil water for bathing every day? That's something that only aristocrats do.

In order to let the people under his rule have the conditions to drink boiling water, do you know what Lu Zhe has done? He specially built a boiling water workshop in Nanling City to boil water during the day, and then hung a big wooden bucket every 100 meters in the city, and hired some people to be ready to add and change water at any time. Administrative instructions have also been issued in the countryside, and each pavilion must have a place where people can drink boiling water, for which the countries have been scolded for not knowing how many sentences of "nonsense are losers".

Coal stone, those dirt buns don't know that there is such a thing as burning coal stone. A nest of coal and stone can be burned for at least an hour, where can firewood be compared?

Having said that, if Lu Zhe occupied a piece south of Lujiang County, Jiangxi in later generations would also be included. Does that seem to be the capture of a large area of coal? The coal mines are usually associated with kaolin, graphite, diamonds, lithium salts, and of course there is also quite dangerous methane coalbed methane, but I heard that the open-pit coal mines in Jiangxi still existed during the Ming Dynasty, so wouldn't that be ......

Lu Zhe knows graphite, diamonds, and lithium salts. But what is kaolin?

Fortunately, there are knowledgeable people, Xiao He said that kaolin has strong fireproof and plasticity, and some people use kaolin as the outer layer of zuò pottery. The price is still expensive.

Yes? Lu Zhe still thinks that kaolin is used to burn porcelain, but in fact, the world's kaolin content is only 40 million tons, is it possible to burn porcelain with kaolin? There is little difference between the firing materials used for pottery and porcelain, and the difference lies in the craftsmanship.

Speaking of pottery and porcelain, Lu Zhe has also recently thought of something that every traveler will try, and that is, of course, burning sand...... The white point is to burn glass, and in this world where the window is closed and it is dark, glass is very preservative. To make the glass well-lit? Asked a craftsman to teach him what he had heard about the method of burning glass, and Lu Zhe suddenly remembered that the windows were made of paper until the time of "I am in the Qing Dynasty".

Okay, Lu Zhe is not a stubborn person, he knows that the order is reversed and quickly knows the mistake but just doesn't change it, anyway, there are a lot of craftsmen under his rule, except for those craftsmen related to metal, how can he also transfer a group of people, so burn sand and make zuò paper to study together, that is, to raise a few more people.

The monarch has other hobbies other than government and military affairs, and some kings are happy to be sensual, Lu Zhe's previous hobby was to build some houses that seem strange to people now, and to engage in some things that no one understands but are very useful in life, such as pottery pipes, toilets, and hanging wheels that transport water, and now add people to burn sand and mash trees, and throw bamboo into ponds to hoard and dry, it seems that it is not an intolerable bad taste.

Not to mention, burning sand can really burn crystals, and blowing glass can also blow out some strange-shaped things, these things are bizarre and colorful, Lu Zhe took them out and gave them to a few people, each of which was regarded as a peerless treasure. Recently, Lu Zhe has asked those sand burners to study how to burn cups and other shapes, and it would be better if they could burn flat glass.

As for the paper...... I don't know what's wrong, anyway, it's been nearly two months of tossing, and not a single piece of paper has yet appeared.

"You don't know, at least two or three years of rest, if you don't find some interest, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to live in peace." Lu Zhe's face is full of vicissitudes, living in this era where entertainment is to watch singing and dancing and playing with women, it is strange that this woman will die early if she plays too much.

Kuaitong immediately agreed that Lu Zhe would make some more strange things, he knew that his master was not very interested in women, so if he didn't have some fun, he was afraid that he would toss some unplanned things, such as sending troops to the Central Plains or something, and carrying the Qin army, or going to find trouble with the Qi army in Surabaya County to cause a big war.

Xiao He also very much agrees with the research of his own master, because Lu Zhe is a traverser, even if he creates something that is often seen in later generations, it is an "invention", and the more idle his own master is, it means that their group of people who handle government affairs are very effective, which is a kind of praise for the administrative team.

The generals are a bit contradictory, it's not that there is no war now, the south is still fighting, how can its scale be the rotation of 200,000 troops, and the owner of his own family is looking for fun for the next few days, is he sure that Lingnan will inevitably be captured, or does he not care about the war over there?

"Thinking too much, unless the troops in the south are defeated, otherwise there are a bunch of generals on the front line, what do I need to worry about?" Lu Zhe suddenly looked at the Gongwei, and did not avoid the rest of the people, and said directly: "Shusun Tong sent a message from Wu County, saying that your father is already on his way to Nanling. ”

Gong Ao, the Chu Chen who scolded Lu Zhe in the court of Chu State is not as good as shit, that is, the old father of Gong Lieutenant. This person thought that the Chu army could win, and Lu Zhe was already precarious, so he scolded as much as he wanted, and encouraged his son to rebel against the target. As a result, the Chu army was defeated, and the communist lieutenant also maintained his loyalty, and now he is desperately saying good things about Lu Zhe as if he is making up for his mistakes. Chu State's hatred for Lu Zhe is not small, Gong Ao said good things about Lu Zhe on Chu State's side, isn't that not a person inside and out? If it weren't for Gongwei or one of the capable generals under Lu Zhe, killing Gongao would cause adverse reactions, and it is estimated that Gongao would have been dug and buried a long time ago.

The lieutenant saluted and thanked him, and did not say anything superfluous. He has been trying his best to reduce his sense of existence since Huizhangjun, and he will be harmed by his open-mouthed father.

"Captain, aren't you tired like this? Since I dare to hand over to you the defense line and the army in the north, I prove that I have not doubted your loyalty. Your father is a father, and you are you. Do you understand what I'm saying? Lu Zhe persuaded.

Gongwei doesn't understand it or not, today's world is about protecting each other, and there is a law of joint sitting, that is, if one person in the family makes a mistake, the whole family is guilty, his father insulted Lu Zhe so much, Lu Zhe didn't care, he could only say that he was angry, it didn't mean that he didn't know that he should be restrained.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if Lu Zhe really doesn't care or if he doesn't care, the important thing is that the lieutenant knows how to be a courtier, there is such a father who doesn't know how to restrain himself, Lu Zhe is willing to tolerate it, what about the rest? It is estimated that the rest of the people will continue to find the fault of the co-captain, once wrong Lu Zhe forgives, twice wrong forgives, three mistakes or forgive, but sooner or later one day they will not forgive, even if they will continue to forgive, the ministers are bound to make trouble until the day when Lu Zhe slaughtered the co-captain, it will be like this because the king does not allow offense, and the offender will die.

"What about you?" Lu Zhe doesn't like the silent co-lieutenant, and he doesn't like the co-lieutenant who feels guilty, because the silent person is terrible, and the guilty courtier is even more terrible.

Silence often agrees with gloom, which is synonymous with cunning. If a person has a sense of guilt, it doesn't matter if everyone is a minister, but it's good for a courtier to feel guilty about the king, and if he has guilt, he either wants to repay his loyalty with his life, or he uses betrayal to relieve the guilt in his heart. The general felt guilty, and the possibility of being half-opened was too risky.

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, there is no possibility of war breaking out in the north recently, so I ask to stay in Nanling for a long time and hand over military affairs to my deputy." In order to increase the persuasiveness, he laughed heartily a few times: "It will only take a day to ride a fast horse from Nanling to the front line, if there is a surprise war, with a wide range of scouts and military forts, it will be completely in time for the minister to go to the front line." ”

"......" Lu Zhe showed a contemplative expression. (To be continued......)
