A few days later, under Cao Cao's urgent orders, two sets of curved shaft plows were transported over from the East County Military Supervision Office.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Du Xi and the rest followed Cao Cao to an experimental plot outside the city.
Today, they wanted to see if the Quyuan Li that Cao Cao praised as a divine weapon was really that powerful.
"This thing is so light, I'm afraid it doesn't eat the soil deeply.”
Xun Yu, who knew the most about agriculture, shook his head after playing with the curved shaft plow.
Beside him, Chen Qun and Du Xi also nodded repeatedly.
In fact, Cao Cao himself also felt that Qu Yuanli eating dirt was not a small problem.
If they didn't dig deep enough, they wouldn't be able to sow the seeds.
"Alright, let's begin!"
After the armored soldiers brought the cattle over, Cao Cao gave the order and the experiment began.
On the left, the three armored soldiers were using the same method as the two oxen.
On the right side, there was a man, an ox, and a plow.
Very soon, the Curved Plow displayed its speed advantage.
At the same time, he could also turn around the corner agilely.
These were all things that the straight shaft plow did not have.
"Enough! Stop!"
Fifteen minutes later, Cao Cao could not help but call for a halt.
In just a quarter of an hour, the difference in efficiency had already been shown. There was no need to compare.
Now, they only needed to look at the most crucial problem.
Cao Cao gave Xun Yu a look. The latter immediately ran into the soil that Qu Yuan had plowed and reached out to measure the depth of the soil.
Soon, Xun Yu's eyes widened like copper bells.
"One foot…Heavens…"
"My lord, it's a foot deep!”
hiss ~
Everyone gasped.
This was too awesome.
Three people and two cows could only eat 80% of the soil, but one person and one cow could eat a foot of soil!
In other words, the work of three people in the past could be done by one person in the future, and the time spent could be saved a lot.
The strategists were so shocked by his efficiency that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
There was no doubt that the curved shaft plow was beneficial to the army, and the benefits to the people were probably far greater than the army.
Think about it. In some families, because the children were still young and could not help with the farm work, the husband and wife could not complete the farming.
What should he do? He could only become a tenant farmer for the aristocratic families and get a certain share of the harvest.
Such a method could only barely make ends meet.
And now, with the curved plow, all the families could start farming.
How would the lives of the commoners be in a few years?
Hide wealth among the people!
These four words appeared in everyone's mind.
"Divine artifact! It's a divine weapon that protects the country!"
"I really didn't expect my lord to know the art of heavenly secrets. The people are blessed!”
"Impressive. I didn't expect that my lord would know the secret technique of the Mo family that was lost.”
Chen Qun, Du Xi, and the others sighed.
How would they know that Xu Chuan was behind this?
Cao Cao, who was already in a good mood, actually floated up after being praised by them. He raised his proud head and said in a deep voice,
"There is indeed a golden house in the book, but sometimes we should also lower our heads and look at the land under our feet to exercise our brains.”
"Sometimes, an unintentional improvement can bring earth-shattering changes to the people.”
Beep, Acting Tough Card!
Cao Cao's act of posturing made Chen Qun and the others feel guilty.
Yes, no matter how much he read the books of the sages, in the end, he did not do anything for the people.
On the contrary, the lord, who was busy every day, was always concerned about the people.
"This one has been taught."
Apart from Xun Yu, everyone else bowed.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said,"
"Go, put up a notice and distribute the 20,000 sets of curved shaft plows in East County to each county. Tell the people to immediately switch to the new plowing method.”
"Next year will be a year of great harvest.”
"I accept your orders!"
After saying that, Cao Cao swaggered away with disrespectful steps.
When the matter is over, I brush my clothes and leave, hiding my achievements and fame.
This was the first time Cao Cao had experienced acting tough, and he was in a good mood.
"Big brother, the matter is settled."
"Zhang Miao brought his family to Xu Chang's mansion.”
After returning to the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion, Cao Cao had planned to bring a few bottles of wine to Xu Chuan to get drunk and express his gratitude.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ren rushed over.
"Oh?"
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with joy. It seemed that good things always happened in a hurry.
In that case, Yanzhou was now completely under his control.
Because of his reputation of helping Han, there was an endless stream of scholars coming to Yanzhou.
Xu Chuan had solved the food problem for him. At the same time, because there was no need to reform the 100,000 troops, their combat strength would be greatly improved in the near future.
He was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to expand his territory!
Cao Cao couldn't help but drink a cup of wine to celebrate.
After a while, he said,
"Yunxiao is right. Zhang Miao is still someone who knows what's important. Where are Chen Liu's soldiers?”
"This general has counted. Zhang Miao has a total of 15,000 soldiers in Chenliu, of which 3,000 are cavalry, 8,000 are infantry, and the rest are archers and spearmen.”
"Miao Cai is leading them to the military camp outside Xuchang City.”
Zhang Miao had worked so hard for so long, but in the end, he had made a wedding dress for himself.
15,000 soldiers, in addition to his own army, was not a small amount.
A few months ago, they only had a few thousand clan disciples and soldiers.
But now, there were already more than 100,000 soldiers.
Cao Cao, who was in a good mood, even took the initiative to pour a cup of wine for Cao Ren.
"Bring the army to the Valiant Cavalry Camp where Zhongkang is stationed. Let him and Zilong choose first. The rest of the troops will be distributed by you.”
Cao Cao did not hide his high regard for Xu Chu and Zhao Yun.
In fact, at this moment, he could not tell if it was because he valued them or because Xu Chuan favored them.
"Yes!"
Just as Cao Ren was about to leave, Cao Cao added,"
"Oh right, Yunxiao said that he wants to choose a few guards from this group of people. Go tell him this news and let him go to Zhongkang's military camp to choose by himself.”
"Anyway, it's been a long time since the brothers last met.”
"Yes!"
After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao picked up a jar of Nu 'er Hong and headed to the Xu Manor.
