"No, the sub-master is loyal to this master, you see, just these beauties, or the Qiang girls he bought with money." Dong Zhuo touched the little hand of a beautiful woman beside him, and he didn't think that Wang Yun was a bad person.

Is there such a caring bad guy? Please give this master ten more!

"Even if Wang Situ is loyal to the Taishi, what about that Shi Sun Rui!" Li Ru persuaded again: "Taishi, don't forget the story of Yuan Shao and others!" On that day, they also persuaded the Taishi to let Yuan Shao and others go to Kanto, but the result was chaos in Kanto, and we were forced to move the capital here! ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with a firm face, and thought of the matter in Kanto again, he couldn't help but feel irritable, and waved his hand, "Then do what you say, do it, go and go, don't bother me." ”

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo like this, and sighed in his heart, as soon as Zhao Huo and the others went, there was no news, thinking that it was broken, the imperial court's control over Kanto was getting worse and worse, and he didn't know how long this imperial court could last on its own.

Li Ru walked out of the door and saw Lu Bu, who was guarding outside, waiting for him with a smirk.

"Fengxian, but you have something to do with me?"

"Sir, it's still for the sake of military salaries, I heard that Li Weibu not only paid a full salary, but also rewarded wine and food, and I am quite unhappy in the hearts of the soldiers of the state."

Li Ru took a breath and explained, "This is because Li Dao defeated the Baibo army in Hedong, so he is rewarded, and Feng Xian should not be misunderstood." As for the salary... Let me be given ten days, and it will be disbursed in ten days! ”

Lu Bu was suddenly overjoyed, and arched his hand and said, "Feng Xian understands that it is not easy for Mr., so it all depends on Mr.!" ”

Li Ru looked at Lu Bu's broad back and nodded slowly, this wolf must be hungry, but he can't starve to death, otherwise he is afraid that he will devour the master, or let Niu Fu go to Nanyang to collect some money and grain after the year, it is really difficult to feed so many sergeants by relying only on Guanzhong.

Almost all the princes of the Han Dynasty were suffering from a lack of food, and the war further reduced the grain output of the Han Dynasty, and such a famine era will continue for a long time.

——Yanzhou Juancheng

"Wen Ruo, Zao only sent something over, saying that it was Qingzhou's farm tools, but he blew these things into the sky in the letter, saying that Qingzhou has this thing to accumulate military rations for 100,000 troops to fight in a year, let's go and take a look."

Cao Cao broke into Xun Yu's room with one foot, grabbed Xun Yu, who was reading the official document, took his hand, and walked out.

"Ming Gong, if it is freezing today, no farm tools can be used at this time." Xun Yu smiled bitterly, at this time, it had just snowed in Yanzhou, and the fields had already been frozen, so it was not the time to test farm tools at all.

"Oops, I've let Le go in and burn the ground, we can just use it when we go, Ma Zhenbei said to me before, tell the people to take food as the sky, it makes sense, if this farm tool is really easy to use, we will take advantage of the winter to build more or buy some from Qingzhou, and wait until next year, we Yanzhou will not be short of food."

Since there was no land before, Cao Cao was also troubled by the food problem, and his eyes lit up when he heard the food.

When you come to a field outside the city, you can see a layer of soot on the field, and you can even see a little spark.

"Meet Ming Gong! Xun Sima! Le Jin walked over and bowed to the two.

"How's the preparation?" Cao Cao asked.

"The fields have been burned, and the old farmers in the vicinity have also been recruited, but the old farmers said that this new farm tool is not very good at use, and I am afraid that it will affect the effect."

"It's okay, Zao only specially let people learn how to use it in Qingzhou, so let's get ready to start!" Cao Cao said as he pulled Xun Yu to the side.

"Speaking of which, I have long heard that Ma Zhenbei used new farm tools in Youzhou and the plains, what is it called a ploughshare, and I think this is it." Xun Yu is well-read and well-read, but he has heard of the ploughshare.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's right, back then in Jinan, I still wanted to learn from him how to build and use this thing, but I was transferred to another place, and it was gone." ”

Unlike the era of the explosion of scientific and technological information in later generations, the spread of science and technology in ancient times was very slow, and unless there was government intervention, it would be difficult for a technology to go out of one place in a few decades.

Therefore, although Ma Qiang's plough has been made for I don't know how many years, but now it is only used in Youzhou and Qingzhou, as for other neighboring states and counties, such as Jizhou and Yanzhou, no one wants to come to learn, and there are big clans in Bohai in Jizhou but they have learned the plough, and as a result, because the efficiency of the plough has greatly improved the cultivation efficiency, so that there is no need for so many tenants, and finally the tenants besieged Wubao and almost had a big incident.

This is the same contradiction as the later generations of machines become more efficient and no longer need so many workers, and the tenants have no land, if they simply improve the efficiency of farming, the result is that the landlords forcibly drive out the useless tenants, leading to riots.

With Le Jin shouted, the plough and the Han Dynasty traditional straight plough began to cultivate at the same time, at the beginning, due to the old farmer's proficiency in the straight plough, still a small advantage, Cao Cao's brows were wrinkled, but soon, the sergeant sent by the jujube only caught up, and then, the speed of the plough became faster and faster, when the plough ploughed an acre of land, the plough was not half ploughed.

"Good! What a plow! Cao Cao was about to jump up excitedly, but Xun Yu on the side was nervous and not so happy.

"Why is Wen Ruo sad?"

"Although the plough is good, but it is not good for the tenants, I heard that there are big clans in Jizhou that day to cause civil unrest, Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the fields in Qingzhou are re-divided, so the people are happy, but if I Yanzhou directly promote this thing, I am afraid that there will be chaos, but think carefully about it."

Cao Cao listened, stroked his beard and nodded, "Before Zi Xuan also sent a letter, saying that Jizhou Qingtian household matter, Ma Zhenbei and Zi Xuan said that when he Qingtian household is completed, he can gather all the strength of the two states for his own use, I am thinking, if this is really the case, how many soldiers and horses can Ma Zhenbei compile?"

Two hundred thousand?

Three hundred thousand?

Or 500,000?? ”

Xun Yu was a smart man, and he immediately understood what Cao Cao meant.

Cao Cao also wanted to learn from Ma Qiang, clear the fields and divide the land, let the tenants become yeoman farmers, and increase the power of the government, because only in this way can he have the capital to continue to fight for hegemony, otherwise Cao Cao's side is 350,000, and Ma Qiang's side is 350,000, and there is no need to fight, just surrender directly.

"Ming Gong has a clever plan?"

Cao Cao took out a letter and said, "This is Zaoyi's letter, he suggested that our army implement tuntian, collect the uncultivated fields into the ownership of the government, and then organize the displaced people to reclaim the land and implement tuntian to solve the food problem." ”

Displaced people, where did the displaced people come from, the real displaced people have long starved to death, I am afraid they are still tenants in the hands of various powerful people.
