Zao Yuan, a big cow under Boss Cao who is often ignored by later generations.

One is because he died young, and the other is because his merits are not in fighting wars, but in farming.

Some people just think that they scoff, what kind of ability is farming?

But looking at Boss Cao's life achievements, he fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west. Why was he able to gain a foothold in Yanzhou, the land of the Four Wars?

Yanzhou is not calm, and in the war with Lu Bu, it can be said that Yanzhou has been turned upside down.

Xuzhou, who had just targeted a wealthy point, was completely defeated by Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao taking turns to be the overlord. Huainan was almost plagued by Yuan Shu. Guanzhong, after experiencing the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Li and Guo, is also the people's livelihood withered, and bones are everywhere.

But looking at the intensity of Cao Cao's early wars, and comparing them with his rule, what source did Cao Cao use to continuously provide military rations?

Some people say that it is human flesh, and it is undeniable that in the most urgent case of its war, Cheng Yu may have used human flesh mixed with military rations. (The canon is from the Wei and Jin Shiyu, not the Book of Wei, as many people say.) ）

But can you eat people this year, and will you continue to eat people next year? And the year after? People don't grow as fast as food, and who would waste the lives of the people in vain except in the most urgent situations?

Cao Cao was able to supply grain all the time, mainly because he adopted the suggestions of Zao Yuan and Han Hao, and used the new tuntian system that had been improved by Zao Yuan since the Han Dynasty.

Recruiting farmers in Xuchang to tuntian, he got a million Gu Hu that year (Note: Xu Shen of the Han Dynasty wrote "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "Hu, ten buckets. "1 stone = 10 buckets = 120 catties)

Later, it was extended to various states and counties, and was cultivated by the Diannong officials, and Cao Cao also set up a special official position for this purpose, Diannong Zhonglang General, to manage the affairs of the tuntian.

When the person of the general of the farmer Zhonglang was called Ren Jun, and when Cao Cao raised troops, Ren Jun took refuge in Boss Cao as the main bookkeeper, and collected hundreds of clansmen and guests of the whole clan, all of whom bet on Cao Cao alone!

This is undoubtedly a relief for the fledgling Boss Cao, Ren Jun is deeply trusted by Boss Cao, and married his sister to Ren Jun.

At this time, as the supervisor of Yulin stationed in Yingchuan, Zao Yuan appeared, and he single-handedly established the Tuntian system under the Wei flag, and survived countless lives, laying a solid foundation for Cao Wei's hegemony.

Cao Wei was able to compete with Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the four states of Ji, You, He, Qing, and Wu, and then overwhelmed Shu Han and Sun Wu. However, Zao Yuan, like so many talents, has a regrettable characteristic, short-lived......

Liu Wei kept this living Shennong sage in his heart.

said to Shao Hua: "If you don't give up, I will hand him a token, and the books in the stone room can be opened and read!"

Liu Wei hopes that Zao Yuan can not only live longer in this life, but also get better learning and play!

The stone chamber of the library, which holds the essence of the entire empire, is the best place to be! Let him be with Zhang Zhongjing, and let Zhang Zhongjing give him conditioning and conditioning.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shao Ping was overjoyed, he lived to this age, and only this child was the biggest sustenance......

What kind of place is the stone room, he will not know after Shao Ping is a nobleman. It is the place where Wei Qing and the champion Hou Huo were once trained.

It contains books that have been preserved since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which are things that Xiao He desperately preserved from before Xiang Yu burned Xianyang, and ordinary people cannot access this level.

You must know that in this era, many people regard knowledge and book knowledge as family heirlooms, and people who are not from the same surname can't borrow it.

"Okay, okay, the things in front of you are more important, have you built the new farm tools you ordered to build?" Liu Bianfa asked.

"There's already a prototype to build." Uncle Song instructed the servants to bring the new farm tools.

Modern people may feel familiar when they look at them, they are sickles, rakes, and wooden ploughs.

For those who have not had much contact with farm work, these are probably the things that impress them the most.

Liu Wei weighed the sickle, which was thicker and heavier than the sickle of later generations, because it was still unrealistic to make a sickle from steel now, and the Han Dynasty was also embarrassed, all of them were equipped with iron weapons, and other ethnic groups were even worse, often holding bronze, or even worse wood, stone-made weapons and living utensils.

Liu Wei only asked them to point steel on the saw chain at the edge of the blade to extend the life of the sickle, and the rake and wooden plough were all wooden, and the wooden plough was only wrapped with iron horns at the plow head to facilitate better cultivation.

There was only a general impression in Liu Bian's mind, and his specific appearance was the shape that Liu Bian, Song Bo and others had jointly discussed.

Although it may not be as scientific as that of later generations, it is already a qualitative leap for today's plows.

"It would be nice if there were people from the Mo family......" Song Bo said with emotion when he talked about this issue.

Although the farmhouse is separated from the Mo family, the exquisite craftsmanship of the Mo family is recognized by the world.

"Then where can I find people from the Mo family?" Liu Wei was also curious about this ancient and disciplined organization of engineers.

Song Bo shook his head bitterly, and Shao Hua raised his eyelids: "So far, there is no Mo family, only the knowledge and technology of the Mo family remains......"

?

Liu Wei was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Shao Hua spoke again: "Those knowledge was also deeply hidden in the family by those families, and it became a secret of the family......

The family is mostly from the annexation of hundreds of schools!

Liu Wei was deeply surprised and annoyed, the self-isolation and lack of progress of technology must be a big step backwards!

Lu Ban created all kinds of siege equipment so many years ago, so compared to today, what can it be considered in front of aircraft and artillery?

Sooner or later, they'll have to spit it out! Liu Wei thought hatefully.

"Let's go, dig deep!" Song Bo gave an order, and the three oxen pulling the wooden plough strode forward under the whipping of the peasants.

The soil that is becoming more and more compacted on the surface is turned loosely, and the soil that is rich in fertility is turned to the skin.

After a while, several fields were ploughed in turn.

The farmer who had been recording on the side came to report: the speed of plowing the land is half as fast as that of ordinary people!

Shao Hua on the side couldn't help but be surprised, Shao Hua, as a farmer leader, thought that he had the greatest say in farming.

Although Liu Wei is a prince, he is only a child after all, and he manages the capable with those who can't, Shao Hua thinks that Liu Wei will not make blind comparisons, which is already a good thing.

Solid data was placed in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe in the word innate endowment.

Only then did Shao Hua realize that Liu Wei was really terrifying.

After all, the farmer advocates that "the people have enough food, and the world is peaceful!" "Liu Wei can bring food and clothing to all the Han people in this world, and with this alone, all the farmers can assist this king at all costs!

Shao Hua also knew why his old friend Song Wang, who was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, indifferent to fame and fortune, and had strong self-esteem, was willing to bow to a prince......

Isn't that what farmers are looking forward to......
