After listening to Zhao Xu's words, in addition to admiration or admiration, everyone was shocked and speechless for a long time, for a long time, Zhao Xu did not hear the reply, and asked: "Your Majesty, lord, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Liu Xie was clever, sobered up, and said busily: "It's feasible, of course it's feasible, I also said just now, Aiqing is really a pillar of the country, and I will announce this when I go to court tomorrow, the general can rest assured." ”

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, the war has continued, not only the literary and military talents have been affected, the business and agriculture are even more affected, the business is better, plus it has been opened to trade, it has exceeded the level of the year, but this agriculture, but it is not very optimistic, there are snow disasters and locust plagues in the past few years, although there are reforms, but ordinary people are on the verge of bankruptcy, although there is land, but they are unable to cultivate, as a last resort, many people have become the landlord's fine nong, miserable. Your Majesty also said that agriculture is the foundation of the country, and for the sake of the society, the minister has some proposals, I don't know if Your Majesty agrees? ”

Previously, in the matter of business reform, Liu Xie had been persuaded by Zhao Xu, and at this time he had ideas in agriculture, and it must not be bad to think about it, so he hurriedly replied: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Zhao Xu paused and said: "In Weichen's opinion, you can open up the serfs and take out some money from the treasury to redeem those serfs. ”

"This ......" Liu Xie hesitated, the interests of the family had been affected in the business matter just now, and that's it, and now agriculture involves the interests of the landlords, so if they unite, it will not cause turmoil, but Liu Xie is not good to refuse directly, and shirked: "But even if the court redeems those serfs, they have no land and cannot afford to cultivate!" ”

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, those clan landlords don't know how much land they have under their hands, and the imperial court can buy two-thirds of them according to the market price, and share them with the redeemed serfs for free. ”

Anyway, there is no good impression of those landlords Zhao Xu, the vast majority of landlords are the scourge of oppressing the people, although some landlords are good to the people, but only two-thirds of his land is pumped, not to mention that there is money to make up, and there will not be much resistance.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he then took out a scroll of drawings from behind his back and unfolded it, and everyone saw that it was several kinds of machinery and many tools. Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Everyone, please see, when Zhao Xu had nothing to do, he came up with some machinery that is easy to cultivate, this thing is called keel dumper, which can be used for irrigation; This thing is called the cylinder car, and its running force is greater than that of the keel overturner, which can be used to lead water uphill and irrigate the mountain fields. This object can be operated with an axle, and can be pushed by water or ox power. These two kinds of machinery, built by the imperial court, those redeemed serfs can use this to farm, and then let those family merchants donate, donate as much as they want, so as to reduce some losses of the imperial court, but also close to the relationship between the people, the family of less than five people, with the keel overturned to cultivate, more than five people, then use the cylinder car, in addition, if you live in the mountains, then through the general cylinder car; What do you think? ”

Zhuge Liang never expected that Zhao Xu would be so researched in the technique, Zhao Xu had come to discuss with Zhuge Liang about building a crossbow, Zhuge Liang also had a lot of opinions, and he was surprised by Zhao Xu at that time, he had thought about building a crossbow, but he had never thought of the prototype, and Zhao Xu came, talked to him, and soon built a crossbow out, this crossbow played a big role in later Xianbei and Pingxuzhou, which had half of Zhuge Liang's credit, and he was secretly proud, but today I looked at it, Zhao Xu was far higher than him, I couldn't help but bow down in my heart, and I couldn't help but have doubts about Zhao Xu's identity, is this a normal person?

Liu Xie was speechless, he didn't expect Zhao Xu to be prepared for how to deal with those liberated serfs, he was speechless in surprise, and he wanted to listen to Zhao Xu again, he wanted to see how much talent in Zhao Xu's chest fell?

Zhao Xu saw that everyone didn't speak, and then said: "Also, the name of this thing is called "treading plow". This "treadmill" is a tool for turning the soil, and the effect of four or five young adults used together is equivalent to half that of oxen ploughing. In addition to the plow, there are also cocoons, harrows, hoes, sickles, etc., which I have improved, and with these improved tools, I think it should be able to solve the problems in poor areas. Also, you can build embankments at the big rivers, and irrigation, I have counted, now the Qingzhou, Hebei, You, and the four places of the treasury, plus the imperial treasury, are also redundant on this, only with the Qingzhou treasury, it is enough to deal with it, but it is shared, and the money from the treasury of these four states is drawn, plus some treasury money, enough. ”

Hey! Although it is impossible to use the machinery of later generations, Zhao Xu has never been interested in physics, but he still has an understanding of some agricultural tools in the Tang and Song dynasties, and he loves history, which he also learned from history books.

"Boxiong, who are you sacred?" Fa Zheng asked in horror.

"What's the matter, I'm just me, but I usually like to think about some things, this Zilong can testify, in addition to practicing martial arts at home, I often make some small inventions, and the basketball you play now doesn't depend on who invented it." Zhao Xu said with a haha, after all, these are not his own inventions, and it is inevitable that he will lack confidence when he speaks, so he can only cover it up with jokes.

Liu Xie and Liu Bei couldn't help but glance at each other, knowing that such a huge reform touched the interests of the vast number of clans, and also involved the vital interests of many ministers in the DPRK and China...... Liu Xie groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "What Aiqing said is very reasonable, I also think that it will help to develop national strength, but it is just a major reform matter, and it is not for me to decide, so let's do it!" When I go to the court tomorrow, I will tell the ministers of the court about this matter, what does Aiqing think? ”

Zhao Xu also knew that his reform would inevitably cause huge fluctuations, even in the heyday, the reform emperor had to consult with the ministers, let alone now. Zhao Xu also knew that Liu Xie was in a dilemma, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is naturally Your Majesty, but Weichen listens to Your Majesty's orders." ”

Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other civil and military generals, at this time, they all looked at Zhao Xu with great admiration. I have known Zhao Xu for a long time, but I feel more and more that the talent in Zhao Xu's womb is simply unfathomable, and what he has learned is quite miscellaneous, it is simply about the country, whether it is military or policy governance regulations, Zhao Xu seems to be involved in all aspects, and he is very proficient, which is simply ...... Everyone couldn't think of any words to describe the familiar and strange person in front of them, Zhao Xu was only in his twenties! To say that he is a genius, is this more genius than a genius? Everyone looked at each other, and one word couldn't help but appear in their hearts at the same time: the talent of ghosts and gods!

Others are still so shocked, not to mention Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun and Zhao Xu have been brothers for many years, and they have always admired Zhao Xu in their hearts, but they never expected that Zhao Xu's talent in the womb was far beyond his reach, and he admired Zhao Xu more and more in his heart, and couldn't help but think of what the sage Confucius said: Those who are born to know. Perhaps, the eldest brother is this kind of person! It seems that I will never be able to catch up with my eldest brother's footsteps, but I still have to work hard, and following my eldest brother's footsteps is my goal.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun returned home and saw Diao Chan, Zhao Xue and Ma Yunlu getting along very well, and the two of them felt comforted in their hearts. Zhao Xu's heart is full of warmth, he will have a child in a few months, Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu think that they will have children soon, the family is harmonious and happy, and when they come back from the war in the future, they will also have a safe haven. Zhao Xu lay on the homemade rocking chair, watching Ma Yunlu bouncing around Diao Chan and Zhao Xue from a distance, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, since Ma Yunlu married Zhao Yun, the family has been a lot lively, such a lively girl, but also Zhao Yun fell to her.

Zhao Xu lay down, his eyes gradually closed, took a nap, and refreshed for a day. But just when Zhao Xu was about to fall asleep, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in and said, "My lord, General Zhang San is here!" There are also two teenagers, screaming to see you. ”

Zhang Fei? What is he here for? Looking back at the butler, he saw that he was panicked. Obviously, Zhang Fei was ruthless again, scaring the housekeeper, Zhao Xu's housekeeper was guarded, everyone was afraid of Zhang Fei, not anything else, or Zhang Fei's eyes were like a copper bell when he spoke, and his voice was loud, which inevitably made people afraid. But as soon as Zhang Fei came, it seemed that he was taking a nap today, Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, and a carp jumped up and said, "Okay, you step back first, I'll go see him now!" ”

The housekeeper had to see Zhang Fei, and hurriedly took the order to retreat, Zhao Xu finished speaking, and no longer stayed, and hurriedly walked out of the backyard at the moment, and saw Zhang Fei in the front yard, followed by two children, one was about five or six years old, and the other seemed to be younger, one of which Zhao Xu recognized, it was Zhang Fei's eldest son Zhang Bao. Although the other Zhao Xu had some impressions, he couldn't remember it. Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel funny when he thought about it, since he came, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been separated for many years, and they have a son much faster, Zhang Bao was born in 198 AD in history, and after he came, Zhang Fei sat on the side early, Zhang Bao was born a few years early, I remember that after settling Qingzhou, he gave birth to Zhang Bao, which is really a trick.

"Yide, you have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace, just say it! What are you doing today? If you want to compete, go to Zilong, I don't have time. If you want to drink with me, you're happy to accompany you! Zhao Xu strode forward and shouted.

"Haha! Boxiong, what do you think of me as, hehe! I came today, not to compete in martial arts, nor to ask you for a drink, but to ask for something. Zhang Fei laughed.

"Oh! Yide, you still have something to ask me, say it! Anything, as long as I can help, but it doesn't matter. Zhao Xu asked Zhang Fei to sit down, and asked while drinking tea.

"Haha! I know that you are righteous, in fact, it is not a big deal, I came today to help you take in apprentices. ”

"Apprentices? All right! For your sake, let me look at the seedlings first, see if they are suitable, and then talk about whether they are accepted or not. ”

"Haha! Definitely a good seedling, aren't you two boys always talking about wanting to see your fourth uncle? Why don't you go and see you yet! Zhang Fei pulled the two teenagers behind him and said with a laugh.

"Nephew Zhang Bao (Guan Xing) has seen the fourth uncle!" When the two children heard Zhang Fei's words, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Xu and bowed.

"Poof!" Zhao Xu spit out a mouthful of tea that was about to be swallowed, Guan Xing Zhang Bao? These two are the two famous generals called "Xiao Guan Zhang"! Before, he only said that the other person was an apprentice found by Zhang Fei, but he didn't expect that even his son would be recommended to him, and he thought he was just bringing Zhang Bao to play! Zhao Xu picked up the two of them and asked, "It's just that Zhang Bao's nephew is here, why ......?"

"Oh!" Zhang Fei explained: "At noon today, the second brother sent someone to escort Guan Xing's kid to the eldest brother's mansion, saying that he wanted Xing'er to worship you as a teacher, and the eldest brother had something to do, so he entrusted it to me. ”

Zhao Xu paused, and praised in his mouth: "Hmm! The tiger father has no dogs! The two nephews are both good seedlings for martial arts, and they will be a general in the future, and there will be no problem at all! But you and Yun Chang are strong in martial arts, why did you come to me to apprentice? ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Although my second brother and I are strong in martial arts, we are far inferior to you in this aspect of literature, not to mention my son Zhang Bao and nephew Guan Xing, the most admired thing by the two of them is Boxiong, let the child be both civil and military, which father doesn't want to, and ah!" You can't afford not to save face, no! This is a letter sent by the second brother, which has the words of the second brother and the second brother's knife technique, I also read it, saying that it is for you to teach Xing'er well, pass on his strategy knife technique, the second brother is busy with affairs in Xuzhou, Ping'er has become a talent, but this Xing'er has no time to take care of it, think about it, or come to worship you as the best teacher. ”

"This ......" Zhao Xu was also speechless, it was just a matter of asking for someone so justifiably, it was illegal to privately open other people's letters, even if it was a brother, it was too casual! Alas! There's no way, the ancients were so proud and used to it, but Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were both generals of Shu later! Guan Yu even sent his own knife skills over, which shows his trust in himself, and Zhao Xu is not easy to refuse, but this is a lot of pressure! I've never taught a child, so if I teach it badly......

"If you don't speak, then when you say yes. Bao'er, Xing'er, don't change your name to Master! Seeing Zhao Xu hesitating, Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted.

"Zhang Bao (Guan Xing) to meet Master!"

Isn't this a forced buy and a forced sale? I haven't said yes yet! However, Zhao Xu also had the heart to accept apprentices, and Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were also good seedlings, so they no longer shirked, and said with a slightly helpless wry smile: "Okay!" The tiger father has no dogs, so why can't I afford to accept the apprentices, too! Let me take you both as apprentices. ”
