Just watching Chen Yang pick up the pen and write and draw on the white cloth strip. Dian Wei looked around. He shook his head, not understanding what was being painted.

After a while, Chen Yang picked up the cloth strip and threw it to Dian Wei.

"Lao Dian, take this back to the Prime Minister and ensure you can earn another reward." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Dian Wei picked up the cloth strip and turned it over and over, but he couldn't understand what Chen Yang was painting.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what's the use of this painting?" Dian Wei asked in confusion.

"This is a Quyuan Plough, you can't understand it. Take it back and hand it over to the Prime Minister and let him create it. Then there is no need to worry about the issue of land reclamation."

Chen Yang said confidently: "What I have studied is that using the current plow to plow the land requires three people and two oxen, and at most one acre of land a day."

"The curved plow is different. It only requires one person and a cow. At least three acres of land can be reclaimed in a day."

"In this way, the problem of the Prime Minister's clearance of land will be solved, and soldiers will no longer have to be allowed to farm."

So awesome?

Dian Wei looked at the drawings for a while, but he still couldn't understand them. Then he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I'll take them back first and let the Prime Minister see. If it really works, you have made great contributions."

Chen Yang waved his hand: "Go, I got the reward, come and pay the money for the wine quickly, but you have to keep this matter secret for me, just say you thought it out."

Dian Wei gave a slight tribute, then left the tavern with a smile. This time he didn't even bother to drink, so he left happily.

Not long after, Dian Wei appeared in Cao's Mansion.

In the conference hall of Cao's mansion, Cao Cao was looking at the accounts of food and grass with a frown.

"It's been half a month, and the rain doesn't take off. This spring drought is too sudden."

Guo Jia, who was sitting next to him, muttered while looking at the account book.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Shopkeeper Chen is indeed aware of his expectations. If you say there will be drought, it will be really a drought, but we have less food now."

When Guo Jia heard Cao Cao mention the shopkeeper Chen again, he couldn't help but remember what happened half a month ago. He frowned and said, "Prime Minister, who is that shopkeeper Chen?"

Cao Cao grinned: "A young man who runs a tavern, but he has great ability, extraordinary ability and great talent!"

"By the way, what's the food you asked you to prepare half a month ago?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia quickly stood up and shook his head and said, "I have purchased a lot, but it is far from enough for our army to use. Now the price of grain in Xudu City has risen from fifty coins per stone to eighty coins per stone, and the inner treasury does not have enough money to buy grain."

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked sad and sighed: "If I had known that Manager Chen was so amazing, I would have purchased a large amount of grain. Now...ah! How have you discussed the matter of land reclamation and taxation?"

This is their current solution to the food problem.

"Prime Minister, I'm here!"

Just as Guo Jia was about to speak, Dian Wei suddenly hurried in.

"I'm sorry, is there anything wrong?" Cao Cao asked.

"I have……"

Dian Wei was about to speak, but was interrupted by Cao Cao: "If you are evil, let me go first. If you are filial, do you want to open up the land or increase taxes?"

"No, it's not OK to let the soldiers go farming or increase taxes."

Before Guo Jia could speak, Dian Wei said first: "Let the soldiers go to farm, they will train the soldiers into farmers, and lose their blood. How can they win in this war?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "General Dian, how to charge into battle, I am not as good as you, but you are not as good as me in this internal affairs, this matter should..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Cao Cao breaking.

Cao Cao asked with interest: "So, let me talk about it, how can it be impossible to increase taxes?"

Dian Wei remembered Chen Yang's words and said proudly: "Increasing taxes is to seek death! From ancient times to the present, those who want to achieve hegemony rely on strong national strength, and the source of national strength is the people of the world."

"Increasing taxes means forcing the people to a dead end, just like killing a chicken and taking away the eggs. Anyway, that's about it. And... hiding richness to the people, yes! hiding richness to the people."

"Only in this way can there be endless food."

In fact, Dian Wei didn't remember much of those words, and he finished speaking in a vague way, and the general meaning was expressed.

After hearing his words, Guo Jia looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, and Cao Cao's face was also full of incredibleness.

Dian Wei, a rude man, is definitely the first in charge, but he is just a novice in the discussion of internal affairs.

How could he say such a reasonable thing?

It actually hit the nail on the head, directly hitting the disadvantages of increasing taxes.

Hidden wealth among the people.

This word is used very well, even if they never thought it would be described like this.

After hearing this, Cao Cao was cheerful and cheerful. The world was actually the world of the people, and all his troops came from the people.

Only when the people are rich and the people's will be able to obtain it.

Thinking of this, Boss Cao was shocked!

What a rich person who hides wealth among the people!

"General Dian, where did you hear these words? Did Xun Yu teach you how to say this?" Guo Jia frowned. He couldn't believe that Dian Wei could still compare himself.

"Of course I thought it myself."

Dian Wei remembered Chen Yang's instructions, but he was panicked and his face did not blush.

"This is impossible!" Guo Jia said immediately.

"Come on evil, tell me quickly, who taught you?" Cao Cao also looked at him and asked.

Dian Wei felt a little guilty when he saw him, but for the sake of Manager Chen, he clapped his heart and said, "No one taught me, it's really my own thinking. In fact, my wisdom is not much worse than Fengxiao you."

Guo Jia rolled his eyes at him, obviously not believing it.

Dian Wei grinned, his eyes turned and fell on the account book on the desktop.

The account book was filled with dense words, and Dian Wei took a curious look. Maybe he had been with Chen Yang for a long time and was a mess, so he could understand the content recorded above.

"Prime Minister, this number is wrong!"

Dian Wei's words made Cao Cao and Guo Jia look at him even more surprised.

Cao Cao pointed to the account and asked, "Can you understand?"

Dian Wei was stunned by the question, and he scratched his head: "I seem to understand."

Then, he pointed to one of the wrong numbers and continued: "Prime Minister, here it says, "There is 750 stones of food and grass in the camp, and here it is 250 stones, which is 1,000 stones. Why do you record nine hundred?"

Dian Wei pointed out an obvious mistake. After Cao Cao and Guo Jia finished reading it, they looked at him in disbelief.

Even if Dian Wei doesn't say this kind of low-level mistake, they can see it, and they haven't seen it yet.

But how did Dian Wei see it?

If Dian Wei can eat a cow in one meal, Cao Cao would not doubt it, but Dian Wei can actually do it, and he can't believe it even if he beat him to death.

"How did you see evil?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

Dian Wei scratched his head: "Actually it's very simple. When I saw it, I understood it in a daze, but it's too troublesome to keep your account."

After saying that, Dian Wei wrote down the numbers he saw from Chen Yang and explained them briefly.

"this……"

Guo Jia was shocked by Dian Wei again. He and Cao Cao were both smart people. As soon as Dian Wei finished explaining, they understood the beauty of this number.

Compared with what they often use, this number is much simpler and extremely convenient to record, and the essence has not changed at all.

"General Dian, did you invent this?"

Guo Jia could no longer calm down. He, as the chief adviser, could not think of such a simplified way of accounting, and his self-confidence was severely frustrated for a moment.

However, Cao Cao didn't think so. He asked: "Come on evil, what have you been doing recently?"

Dian Wei smiled and said, "I have been drinking with Manager Chen."

When talking about Chen Yang's wine, Cao Cao missed him very much. He hadn't been drinking for half a month and had been too busy recently.

However, Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Shopkeeper Chen, haha... So that's it, I understand!"

Guo Jia was stunned and asked, "Who is Manager Chen?"

Dian Wei was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and accidentally exposed Chen Yang.

However, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Okay, no need to say anything. Since you can learn evil, it means that this accounting method works. I will promote it immediately. You can go down first when you come evil."

"good!"

Dian Wei was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and came back, and he said, "I almost forgot, Prime Minister, I have solved the problem of land reclamation, and we will no longer need soldiers to farm."

After saying that, he took out the cloth strip that Chen Yang gave him.?
