My lord, the plough has been improved according to what you said, and the new plough will make it easier to lift the soil than the old plow. Outside Chang'an City, Ma Jun pointed to the plough between the ridges and smiled.

"What's the difference?" The autumn harvest has passed, the weather has entered the early winter and begun to cool down, and the land has begun to become stiff.

"According to the lord, my Han's plough, here is generally a straight wheel, not only heavy, not flexible enough when turning, and the soil is hard, the humble position will change this straight wheel to a curved wheel, better force, the soil is easier than the old plow, but the turning point, there are still some difficulties." Ma Jun fiddled a few times and gestured.

Chen Mo heard this, tried it, he grew up in the countryside, quite proficient in all kinds of farm tools, the general plough is pulled by oxen, people can also use it, but it is very difficult, it will not take long to exhaust the plough, but this improved plough can indeed save a lot of effort, people pull up, and it is not as laborious as in the past.

"It seems to be a little shorter." Zhong Xuan on the side groped his chin and said.

"What Situ said is true, the weight of this new plough is much lighter than that of the old plow, but it is less in this way." Ma Jun bowed and said.

"Everybody try it." Chen Mo turned his head and beckoned to several Diannong Zhonglang, who will be mainly agricultural, presiding over the people's tuns in various places, and recruiting people who are also good at farming, and they can better appreciate the benefits of using it at this moment.

"My lord, if you use this plow, three people will be able to carry an ox." Diannong Zhonglang will look at Chen Mo with some excitement, ploughing cattle is an expensive thing, generally you can't see a few heads, when Chen Mo was a child, in addition to Lizheng's family in the village, there were four families with ploughing cattle, but Chen Mo's Zhuangzi is relatively wealthy in the entire Xiaqiu County.

And the farming ability of a cow can withstand seven or eight middle-aged men, and now with this new plough, it is equivalent to a family without oxen, as long as the family is prosperous, they can make the work of a cow.

"How long will this plow be made?" Chen Mo looked at Ma Jun, if this thing can be popularized, one per household, the harvest in Guanzhong may be doubled again, and when the time comes, it will be more confident to encourage the population to have children.

"Back to my lord, this new plough is not difficult to make, and some craftsmen can make it in one day, even with less material than the previous plough, and it is easier to do." Ma Jun bowed and said.

"Good!" Chen Mo stroked his palms and smiled: "Manure, plough and grafting, I don't have to worry about the people in Guanzhong in the coming year, pass on my order, the horses are all craftsmen and generals, the rank ratio is two thousand stones, a reward of one hundred gold, a thousand horses of silk, a thousand stones of grain, and the craftsmen are under the camp, according to the size of the merit, there are rewards." ”

Chen Mo knows better than anyone what the appearance of this new plough represents, Ma Jun has built water conservancy in the past two years, developed a new plow, Guanzhong's grain production will grow explosively, can feed more people and the army, the merit can be higher than anyone else, the reward of the official is naturally not able to pull down, no matter how others think of the craftsman, but Ma Jun has brought much more changes to Guanzhong than those great Confucian celebrities, if it is not for fear of causing criticism to Ma Jun, Chen Mo wants to give him a marquis.

"Thank you, lord!" Ma Jun and other craftsmen bowed excitedly to Chen Mo.

"Don't be polite, these are what you deserve, gather the craftsmen as soon as possible, and let as many people everywhere use the new plough before the spring of next year." Chen Mo smiled.

"Whoa!" Ma Jun bowed and said.

"My lord." Xu Shu on the side said with a smile: "It is to pour the power of the craftsmen in Guanzhong, I am afraid it is difficult to make too much of this plough before the beginning of spring, according to the foolish opinion of Shu, it is better to use this thing as a reward, the people have children, the government can give a new plow, and the rest can be sold at a low price, and it can also make up for some of the consumption of the treasury." ”

According to this year's statistics under Chen Mo's rule, there are millions of households in Sanfu alone, plus some counties and counties that are now under the control of Xiliang, the total number of household registrations under Chen Mo's rule is about 1.3 million, and if you want to give them all, you will have to have at least 1.3 million frames, even if the craftsmen in Guanzhong don't do anything and make plows without sleep, I am afraid it will be difficult for every household to use a new plow before the beginning of spring.

In this case, it is better to do less, as a reward, so that it can stimulate the enthusiasm of the people and the awareness of the new plow, and next year, I am afraid that there is no need for the government to take the initiative to promote, and the people will also compete for the plow.

"Give one for a child, and one for a daughter." Zhong Xuan on the side smiled: "This is more reasonable." ”

"What Situ said is very true." Xu Shu bowed and said.

"Okay, first make a batch as a reward, each family has children, and after reporting to the government office, you can get a new plow, and if it is insufficient, you will domesticate some more ploughing cattle to make up for it." Chen Mo nodded, looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile: "Do it as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!" Ma Jun bowed.

"It is a blessing for all the people that the general can care for the people." On the way back to the city, Zhong Miao smiled at Chen Mo.

"After experiencing the suffering of the people, we can know that it is not easy for the people, born in troubled times, it is not easy to survive, so that they can be fed and clothed, which is also what we should do as officials, besides, the people are the root of the society, if the root is broken, what is the use of us being rich? If the roots can be strong, the court can be stronger. Chen Mo smiled.

"It's quite in line with the farmer's reasoning." Zhong Miao nodded and smiled.

"Any doctrine has its truth, but if only one is important, it will inevitably be biased, the farmer advocates the end of the farmer's business, but in fact it is not right, if the people do not continue to eat, where does the business come from? But if the people are rich, the usefulness of business will be revealed, we live in the temple, what we want is to take into account the overall situation, not just focus on the words of one family, agriculture, commerce and industry complement each other, law and military combined, the world will inevitably prosper. Chen Mo smiled.

"Teachable." Zhong Xuan said with a smile.

"Yuan Changgong is the hope of the world's celebrities, and he can't learn at the end of his life, where can he teach Yuan Changgong?" Chen Mo shook his head.

"There is no order to learn, the one who reaches is the first, although the general is young, but with the talent of the general, it is enough to be the teacher of most people in this world." Zhong Xuan said with a smile.

"Mo is willing to look at this world from a different position, if you and I are this people, how chaotic the world is, the person who asks is just a place to live, three meals and food and clothing are enough, if you are a craftsman, like Ma Jun, you can show what you have learned in your chest, and you will not be despised by the world." Chen Mo smiled and unveiled the topic, it is actually meaningless to praise each other like this, the more people know, the more they will feel their own shortcomings.

"It is precisely with such an open-mindedness that the general can be loved by the people, and now the people in this pass, which one does not support the general?" Zhong Xuan sighed.

Someone used the celestial phenomena to attack and annihilate Chen Mo before, intending to destroy his reputation and causing a lot of momentum, but now, even if Chen Mo is really evil, if you say that Chen Mo is not in Guanzhong, I am afraid that he will be spurned by the people immediately, Chen Mo is now in Guanzhong and the land of the state, and the status of the people in the hearts of the people can be said to be higher than that of the Son of Heaven.

However, in Zhong Xuan's opinion, Chen Mo is also worthy of this popularity, after all, since Chen Mo stabilized Guanzhong, almost everything he has done has been for the people.

"Yuan Changgong said cautiously." Chen Mo said solemnly.

This can't be said nonsense, Chen Mo is now stabilizing the situation in order to compete with Cao Cao in name, if those people feel that Chen Mo's popularity is higher than that of the royal family, I am afraid that there will be another verbal criticism among the scholars, not only the sergeant Guan, but the corporal of the world, which is very unfavorable to Chen Mo.

Zhong Miao was stunned when he heard this, then reacted, and glanced at Chen Mo deeply, what he said just now was not deliberately digging a pit, but feeling it, but Chen Mo's reaction made Zhong Miao see that although this son is young, his mentality is not as rampant as most young people, but he is very stable and vigilant, even Zhong Miao didn't react Chen Mo was interrupted immediately when he exited, this heart, no wonder this son can achieve such a feat.

The most important thing is that this son is only twenty-two years old now, and he is only twenty-three years old, but he is like a scheming fox in front of people, and it is difficult to estimate what the future will be for such a character.

Look at the people around Chen Mo again, Li Ru is a talent for seeking the country, and his ability no longer needs to be said, he assisted Dong Zhuo back then, but he almost changed the world, although Xu Shu is young, but from the perspective of this period of contact, his talent should not be underestimated, he is probably also a talent who can take charge of Chen Mo alone, and there is a full favor to help Chen Mo guard and merge the state, and the state is still governed in an orderly manner without Chen Mo, and there is a prosperous appearance, in addition, there is also a Jia Xu, although most of the time he looks like a bastard, but Chen Mo has a lot of respect for this person, I am afraid that this person is also extraordinary.

Not to mention that Chen Mo's fierce generals are like clouds, and now Chen Mo has become a trend, perhaps, he should learn from Na Wei, and the Zhong family may be able to rely on Chen Mo.

"Yuan Changgong?" Chen Mo looked at the pensive Zhong Xuan suspiciously, and said, "Why are you distracted?" ”

Zhong Xuan shook his head and smiled: "The general forgives his sins and thinks about some things." ”

"Oh?" Chen Mo was interested, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything that can distract Yuan Changgong." ”

"I have an old friend who came to visit recently and wanted to recommend the general, but this person has no intention of voting for the general, so he hesitates." Zhong Xuan looked at Chen Mo and said with some hesitation.

"Oh?" Chen Mo is interested, and he can be a character of Zhong Xuan's old friend, I am afraid that his ability is not low: "I don't know who it is?" ”

"This person's name is Xun You, have you ever heard of it?" Zhong Xuan said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gongda." Chen Mo nodded with a smile when he heard this, Xun You or the people of the Xun family, Chen Mo can recite it, and may know better than themselves, Xun You should be regarded as Xun Shuang's grandchildren, and now Xun Yu under Chen Mo's command, Xun Biao and Xun Yu under Cao Cao are all Xun Yu's uncles, but in terms of age, Xun You is older than Xun Yu, when He Hao and others plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Xun You was involved in it, and he was also imprisoned.

Chen Mo and Xun You have met a few times, but the two sides are not familiar with each other, the only thing Chen Mo remembers is that he was a Huangmen squire at that time, but he had a life as high as ninety-three, this person's talent is probably not low, and now Zhong Mo is willing to recommend this person for himself, Chen Mo was overjoyed, and said to Zhong Xuan: "I also hope that Yuan Changgong will recommend, as for whether I can persuade Mr. Gongda, it depends on Mo's sincerity, Yuan Changgong can rest assured, that is, Mr. Gongda is unwilling to stay, and Mo will never stay difficult!" ”

This kind of talent, if you want to keep it, it will be easy to be sprayed, and Chen Mo will naturally not break the rules.
