Three days later, Lu Kang left Yangquan. Before he left, he said to Lu Peng,""Nephew is a genius of the world. It's a waste of your talent to be the county magistrate. It's just that you're still too young. I hope you can calm down and do more practical things to polish yourself.”
He admired and liked the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart. What he had seen and heard in the past three days had broadened Lu Kang's horizons. Lu Peng's talent in governing really made him gasp in amazement.
Lu Peng nodded repeatedly. The three third wheels had finally left, especially Lu Kang. He had been dragging him around asking him questions all day long. It was really enough.
We don't even have the time and opportunity to be intimate with Diao Chan!
"It's just that Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaotic spirits. Some of the rumors about Nephew in the past are not good.”Lu Kang gave him a meaningful look and left with his men.
Now that the world was under the influence of Confucianism, they had always kept a respectful distance from ghosts and gods, so Lu Kang reminded Lu Peng.
Lu Peng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. So what? He didn't need to curry favor with the scholars.
……
Next, he continued to lead the people to farm. During this period, refugees would return from time to time, and the population gradually increased to more than 2,000 people.
In addition, there were also some refugees passing by. When they saw that this place was stable, they wanted to seek shelter. Lu Peng politely declined them. There was not enough food. They would come back after a while.
However, some special talents, such as craftsmen such as stonemasons and carpenters, could stay. What surprised him the most was that there were a few experienced miners.
"What method do you use to find ores?”Lu Peng asked curiously.
An old man in his fifties stepped forward and said respectfully,""Replying to my esteemed self, wherever the mine is located, the surface, flowers, color, and smell may be different. We also have some special tools. During the Yongshou years, we found an iron mine in Kuaiji Mountain. After reporting it to the relevant departments, there was no news. It wasn't until the Xi Ping years that we were summoned to mine. A few years later, we were forced to stop because of the Yellow Turban rebellion. Now that we're old and weak, we can only live in seclusion.”
Lu Peng nodded. The Eastern Han court was really ridiculous. They could even ignore the iron mine. The emperor probably only cared about enjoying himself.
He then said to the few of them with a pleasant expression," If you are willing, you can stay in Yangquan. I will ensure that you do not have to worry about food and clothing. If you can help me find the mineral vein, I will definitely reward you handsomely."”
He couldn't go to places that were too far away, so he could only look for them nearby, especially iron and coal. The importance of them was needless to say. Lu Peng asked a few old miners to bring more than ten young men to search the mountains around Yangquan.
As the population increased, people's respect and worship for him increased further, and his skill points reached 100 again.
He could unlock another building. 100 points could unlock all the basic buildings. Other than farmland, there was also a market and a watchtower.
The effect of the market was," The economic circulation and benefits generated by all the markets under your jurisdiction will multiply, and they will be supported by the internal affairs ability.”
The effect of the Arrow Tower was that the archer's accuracy, agility, and arm strength would be greatly increased.”
Lu Peng hesitated for a moment before choosing the arrow tower. Because of the current situation, there was no need for the market for the time being. Everyone was still working hard for food and clothing.
In such a chaotic world, it was definitely not wrong to put up a good defense first.
After unlocking the arrow towers, he had people build a large number of arrow towers around Yangquan County to test the effect. An ordinary person who only knew how to draw a bow could reach the standard of a good archer in the army with the help of the arrow towers. Xie Qi, who had specialized in archery, had become a godly archer. He could shoot without missing a single arrow within a few hundred steps.
The effect was quite good. Lu Peng had also built a few around the county government.
Xie Qi was now under Lu Peng's command with the tacit consent of Lu Kang. Like Jiang Yan, his loyalty and admiration for Lu Peng grew deeper and deeper as time passed.
Unfortunately, their attributes were too poor.
More than a month had passed. Around Yangquan County, more than a hundred arrow towers had been built crazily. Each arrow tower had three archers. The bows and arrows cheated from the military warehouse were now useful.
In Yangquan City, a large number of houses had been renovated, and the crops in the farmland were growing well.
Under Lu Peng's leadership, everyone worked hard for their new home.
However, He Sheng and the others from the He family panicked.
Who would have thought that Prefect Lu and the county magistrate were really uncle and nephew (he thought they were)? He Sheng was so scared that his face turned pale and he was restless all day.
Although Lu Peng completely ignored him, he felt guilty!
Could Mayor Lu not tell his nephew about this? How could he not take revenge?
After such a long time of uneasiness, He Sheng gradually became haggard in fear and uneasiness. One day, he gritted his teeth and called his confidant over."Take my secret letter and go find Zheng Silang!”
