A group of young men, driving flocks of chickens and ducks across the wilderness.

Countless servants, craftsmen are busy with their own affairs.

There were several burning fires in the distance, and smoke rose into the sky.

Standing here, Zhang Zhao felt as if he was out of the world.

The chaotic world outside seemed to disappear all at once.

It's so harmonious here, everyone seems to be busy with their own things.

Most importantly, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"This..."

Zhang Zhao was a little dazed, he felt as if he had seen this kind of scene somewhere.

But where it was, he couldn't remember anyway.

Not far away, a young man was shouting at the ploughing oxen and turning up pieces of dirt from the ground.

It's a strange thing in his hand, but it's very useful.

The hard ground was cut like paper.

In this way, the pieces of land were easily turned over by him.

The more Zhang Zhao looked at it, the more interesting it became, and he walked over unconsciously.

When the young man drove the ploughing oxen over again, Zhang Zhao stopped him.

"Little brother, what are you doing here? Why is it so easy for you to plow the land? ”

The young man shouted again and pulled the ploughing ox to a halt, but he didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile.

Zhang Zhao carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

Although he was dressed in a burlap shirt with his trouser legs pulled up high.

Both the hands and the legs were covered with mud.

But it didn't affect his temperament at all, which was a temperament that Zhang Zhao couldn't say.

"Zhang Gong came from afar, and he lost his welcome from afar, and I ask Zhang Gong to forgive me!"

The young man finally spoke, but Zhang Zhao was shocked.

He looked at the person in front of him carefully, and his heart was flooded.

He thought of a possibility, one that he couldn't believe.

"What does Zhang Gong think, how is he cultivating the lower cultivated land?"

Xu Tian put down the plowshare in his hand, bolted the ploughing ox to the wooden stake on the side, and then came to Zhang Zhao's side.

Picking up the kettle on the ground, he didn't care if it was clean or not, and drank it to his mouth.

Water stains spilled from the corners of his mouth, wetting a large piece of his shirt.

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhang Zhao really couldn't overlap him with that legendary figure.

"You... Is it the King of Chu? Zhang Zhao still asked uncertainly.

"I prefer Zhang Gong to call me Xu Tian!" Xu Tian laughed, wiped his mouth, and put the kettle aside.

Then he sat down lightly on the grass below him and exhaled a long breath.

"I can't believe it..."

Zhang Zhao still seemed to be immersed in shock.

He kept looking Xu Tian up and down, his expression was very weird.

Judging from the way the other party cultivated the land just now, this Xu Tian was definitely not pretentious.

His movements are so skillful that he often does such things at first glance.

This made Zhang Zhao's impression of Xu Tian drop by more than half in an instant.

"It's really impressive that the king is so skilled in farming!"

Zhang Zhao took out a large piece of silk silk from his body and spread it on the ground.

Then he walked up cautiously, knelt on it in a proper manner, and sat opposite Xu Tian.

His sitting posture is very aristocratic, and Xu Tian is quite vulgar compared to him.

"Yes! A celebrity like Zhang Gong usually just looks at the farmers who sweat in the fields.

Then the poem was full of poetry, and finally brushed away, chic and abnormal! ”

Xu Tian smacked his lips and said lightly.

"It's their blessing!" Zhang Zhao's face showed a look of pride.

At such a time, Xu Tian was reluctant to say any more.

Because, every time he sees someone with this appearance, he wants to go up and slap him twice.

In order not to let himself go up and smoke him, Xu Tian still changed the topic.

"Zhang Gong came from afar, how about taking you to see my manor?"

"Hahaha..."Zhang Zhao laughed and touched his gray beard.

"I've learned a lot today.

Just the fact that the king personally ploughs the land is enough to make Zai remember it for a lifetime! ”

He said this, but his eyes remained fixed on the plowshare.

He'd just seen the benefits of this stuff with his own eyes.

Truth be told, that's what shocked him.

You must know that the cost of cultivating a field is quite high for farmers in this era.

The tools they used were clumsy, and it took two oxen to turn the clods up with brute force.

Despite this, compared to what Xu Tian had just done, the distance was very large.

As a result, the yield of the land is far from sufficient.

Let's not talk about the tools, just two cows are not something that ordinary people can afford.

"If Zhang Gong likes it, you can try it yourself!"

Regarding Zhang Zhao's slightly sarcastic words just now, Xu Tian didn't care.

If he was stimulated by these words, Xu Tian would have been angry to death.

This time, Zhang Zhao didn't pretend to be there.

After hearing Xu Tian's words, he slowly got up and carefully rolled up his robe to prevent it from sticking to the dirt on the ground.

Approaching, he took a closer look at the plowshare.

Zhang Zhao had to admit that this thing was simply too good.

If every farmer in Jiangdong had this, the annual grain production...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but immediately he thought of Jingzhou.

This thing is in Xu Tian's hands, which proves that it is very likely that their people will also have it in their hands.

In this way, Jingzhou's grain production and reserves may have reached an astonishing level...

"O king..."

Zhang Zhao changed his previous attitude and came to Xu Tian and arched his hand.

"This plow doesn't seem to be the same as the others!"

"This is natural, and I don't hide it from Zhang Gong, with this thing, the farmer's farming time and strength will be greatly reduced!

Not only that, Zhang Gong also saw it just now, this can be easily done with just one cow! ”

Xu Tian glanced at Zhang Zhao with slanted eyes and said lightly.

"Yes, it's really a good thing, if every family in this world can have this, how can the world not be rich!"

"It's a pity... It's hard to do this, it's hard to get so much fine iron! ”

Xu Tian sighed, a look of regret.

"It's easy to do... I think Koto has a lot of iron ore..."

Before Zhang Zhao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Tian.

Some time ago, Zhuge Liang, the envoy of the King of Han, also said the same thing.

He also said that he would provide me with millions of refined iron ore in Jingzhou every year..."

"I Jiangdong can provide double the ore, and I also have to pay for the production cost, you see, king..."

Zhang Zhao couldn't wait, and even Xu Tian was a little surprised.

On the one hand, he despised the matter of farming, but on the other hand, he was very concerned about it.

In fact, if you think about it, it is not surprising.

A high grain yield means that the military has sufficient rations.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, which is the reason why Zhang Zhao couldn't wait.
