Chapter 9

Dian Wei gave them a simple picture of the curved plow, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia didn't understand it very well, but it could also be seen that it seemed to be a simplified plow.

"General Dian, what is this?" Guo Jia looked at Dian Wei curiously.

"This is a plow, for farming. You won't understand Fengxiao, right?" Dian Wei said with a smile.

"Can you understand?"

"Of course I can."

"You can understand it, why can't I understand it?"

Guo Jia pretended that he understood too, and looked around for a while: "But, what's the use of this? That's so simple."

Dian Wei said: "Of course it is useful. This is called Quyuan Plough. You can plow at least three acres of land a day by one person and a cow!"

"What?"

Cao Cao and Guo Jia both exclaimed.

Dian Wei said again: "As long as this thing is made and given to the farmers for use, they have enough ability to reclaim wasteland, so our soldiers don't have to farm."

Cao Cao picked up the cloth strip and fell into deep thought, and he was skeptical.

Guo Jia shook his head: "How can there be such a magical thing in this world? The plow we use now is the best use."

As he said that, Guo Jia picked up the cloth strip, pointed it out for a while, and said, "Prime Minister, this kind of curved plow is extremely simple. In my opinion, even if it can be made, it is still light and cannot plow the ground."

After half a month of contact, Dian Wei and Chen Yang's relationship rose sharply. He immediately retorted: "Prime Minister, the Quyuan Plough is definitely useful. Why don't we make one first?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I don't think there is any need to waste time."

"Prime Minister!"

Dian Wei looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Come on evil, have you just returned from the tavern?"

Dian Wei nodded.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded: "That's right. Manager Chen will never lie to us. Since that's the case, I'll continue to make a curved plow first."

Dian Wei was overjoyed again. Soon, he scratched his head: "Prime Minister, I promised Manager Chen to keep it confidential. You guessed this, don't tell me."

Cao Cao smiled again, and he had his own idea.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Dian Wei felt even more confused and asked again: "Prime Minister, who is that shopkeeper Chen?"

Recently, he often heard Cao Cao mention this name.

Cao Cao laughed without saying a word. He only ordered people to go down and build a curved plow according to the drawings.

——

It is not difficult to build a curved plow, and it was built in less than a day.

The next morning, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others all came to the farmland in the suburbs.

Dian Wei brought dozens of guards to protect him nearby.

A curved plow is placed in front of them, and there is a straight plow of this era next to it. It will take a closer look before the advantages and disadvantages can be distinguished.

"This thing doesn't look very good. Even if it can be used, I think it's only three inches in the soil, and it doesn't meet the standard of sowing!"

Guo Jia looked at the Quyuan Plough for a while, shook his head directly, and said bluntly that it was too simple.

Xun Yu only learned about this matter now and frowned and said, "Prime Minister, where does this thing come from? I don't think it's possible to plow the land and farm it, it's useless at first glance."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right, if this thing is used to plow the land, even if it is not drought, there will be no harvest. No..."

Listening to their comments, Cao Cao was actually not sure. He was thinking, would Manager Chen not have any mistakes this time?

Although Manager Chen is awesome, he doesn’t know everything. It’s normal to make a mistake.

However, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's start the trial first. Come on a few people and use these two plows together. I want to see which one is better."

With Cao Cao's order issued, Xun Yu immediately arranged a few farmers to start the test.

However, half an hour passed and the gap was immediately effective.

The curved plow has plowed three parts of the ground, while the straight plow has only one part.

"How could this... be so fast?"

When Xun Yu saw the speed of the curved plow, he rubbed his eyes incredibly.

Guo Jia said confidently: "So what? If you don't get deep into the soil, it's useless."

He squatted on the ground first, measured for a while, and suddenly his face changed.

"How about Fengxiao?" Xun Yu asked anxiously.

Even Cao Cao looked at him expectantly.

"How is this possible if it is nearly one foot of the soil, exactly the same depth as our plow?"

Guo Jia said excitedly: "Prime Minister, this curved plow is definitely a magical artifact for farming."

Xun Yu didn't believe it very much. He also measured it for a while and said in surprise: "That's right, it's even more than one foot deep. With this magical weapon to help, as long as there is no drought, the people in the world don't have to go hungry."

He said excitedly: "Who invented this kind of magic weapon? It's so amazing!"

Hearing their praise, Cao Cao was in a good mood, and Manager Chen really would not disappoint him.

Such a curved plow not only brings about the maturity of farming technology, but also know that in ancient times when agriculture and commerce were emphasized, farming even involved issues such as national economy and people's livelihood.

In this way, future peasant families only need men to farm, and women can weave cloth at home, which greatly improves their productivity and happiness.

The most important thing is that soldiers do not need to farm, and do not delay training, which can increase the area of ​​cultivation.

The more Cao Cao thought so, the more shocked he became.

Manager Chen is indeed a strange person. If I, Cao Cao, have Manager Chen, why worry about the big thing?

"Transfer the order and build the curved plow overnight and immediately go into farming."

"yes!"

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei and said, "I'm sorry, I'll be rewarded!"

Dian Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Then, he added another sentence in his mind: "I have money to go and drink with Manager Chen."

"Shopkeeper Chen, how many more surprises can you bring to me?"

Finally, Cao Cao sighed and left, and Dian Wei immediately went to escort him.

"Shopkeeper Chen?"

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this name: "Fengxiao, who is Zhangguan Chen?"

Guo Jia sighed, "If I'm not wrong, there is a master behind the Prime Minister."

Xun Yu said in confusion: "Isn't Quyuan Li an invented by General Dian?"

Guo Jia shook his head slightly and said, "Wenruo, do you think it is possible?"

Then, he also followed Cao Cao and left Xun Yu in the wind and messed up.

"Shopkeeper Chen, who is the sacred place?" Xun Yu said in confusion.

Back to Xudu.

Dian Wei received the reward and immediately bid farewell to Cao Cao and went to Chen Yang to drink.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm here!"

at this time.

Cao Cao also sighed: "I haven't visited Manager Chen in half a month. If I don't go to see him, Manager Chen probably thinks that I, Lao Cao, have forgotten him."

"Now, the problem of reclamation has been solved, but the problem of food has not yet been solved. Maybe Manager Chen has some clever plans."

Then, Cao Cao changed into casual clothes and headed towards Chen Yang's Tavern.

But I didn't know that when Cao Cao walked out of the mansion, he happened to be seen by Guo Jia.

"The Prime Minister went out in a casual dress. Should he go to see that shopkeeper Chen?"

Guo Jia thought to himself, and suddenly he had an idea and followed him.

Cao Cao arrived outside the tavern and was about to walk inside, but suddenly he felt someone behind him and looked back...

"Fengxiao, why are you?" Cao Cao said in surprise.

"Prime Minister!"

Guo Jia quickly bowed and said, "That shopkeeper Chen is a master, and I want to make friends with him too."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was about to say something when he suddenly heard Dian Wei's laughter coming from the tavern.

"You don't know that your curved plow is really useful. With your talent, if you can stay with the Prime Minister as a counselor, you can guarantee that you can step down Guo Jia."

"Low-key, low-key, Lao Dian, I didn't tell you that Prime Minister Cao is suspicious by nature and likes other people's wife the most. I don't want to be killed by him accidentally, and even his wife is occupied by him. I'll be free to be a shopkeeper."

As soon as these words were said, Dian Wei never dared to laugh, only Chen Yang was happy.

Outside.

After hearing this, Guo Jia felt a "knock" in his heart.

He thought to himself, this shopkeeper Chen dared to talk nonsense, he was dead!
