The iron-smelting technology of this era is still very bad, and the hoe will be dull after a long time, and it will be very laborious to use, and the efficiency will naturally be much lower.

In this era, the highest efficiency of cultivated land is the straight plow, but the efficiency of the straight plough is not high, first of all, two oxen must be used, which occupies too many resources, and there are the defects of the straight plough itself, such as it is very inconvenient to turn around.

After Ye Chen came back, he entered the study.

"Cher, go find me a smooth plank."

"Yes, young master". The maid Dongxue answered softly and turned to go out.

"Strange, doesn't the young head of the family usually hate reading and writing the most?" Dongxue saw Ye Chen sorting out his pen and ink, and said in a low voice.

Ye Chen smiled at the slender back, thinking that Young Master Ben not only had to read and write, but also paint.

Dongxue searched for a long time before she found a smooth plank, but at this time, Ye Chen had already recalled the Quyuan plow.

Ye Chen had never used a Quyuan plow, so he simply said that he had never gone to the ground at all, but he had it in history class. Because class is boring, Ye Chen often draws illustrations in books.

At first, because he was really not used to using a brush, the line drawing was crooked, let alone a craftsman, and even he didn't think it looked like anything.

"Cher, go get a basin of water." Ye Chen had no choice but to wash off what he had drawn.

Soon Dongxue brought the water, and then stood aside and waited.

Ye Chen washed off the painting, and then started painting again, this painting was more than half an hour, washed the painting, and then washed it again.

"Hey, why is Xue'er always standing, hurry up and find a stool to sit down." Ye Chen is still very interested in this innocent girl like a girl next door.

"Xue'er is a maid, Xue'er doesn't dare to sit."

Ye Chen stood up after hearing this, and personally took a stool. This frightened Dongxue, and she refused to sit down, and finally Ye Chen pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down.

Although Dongxue sat down, he sat very uneasy, but Ye Chen couldn't help it, the ancients' thoughts were like this, and he could only change slowly.

Another hour passed, and Ye Chen finally finished painting the Quyuan plow. Although the drawing is not perfect, the lines are clear, and the craftsman can definitely see it.

Qu Yuan plough was drawn, and then Ye Chen stood up, not wanting to scare Dongxue who was sitting tremblingly on the side.

"Ahh Lesser owner"

Dongxue was sitting very uncomfortable, afraid of being discovered, like a thief, but after a long time, she forgot about it, but she was in a daze.

Ye Chen stood up suddenly, making Dongxue, who was in a daze, scream, and then stood up in horror.

Looking at the winter snow with a discolored face, Ye Chen was also very helpless, and went out after a few words of comfort.

Ye Chen went to the tent room to find Steward Wu.

"Manager Wu, I drew a tool, you quickly arrange for the craftsman to make it, and mobilize resources to make it with all your might."

With that, he placed the plank on the table and walked out.

Manager Wu picked up the wooden board on the table and looked at it, and didn't understand what it was for a long time, so he put the wooden board aside and started to make an account by himself.

He thought it was a plaything made by Ye Chen, although he didn't dare to offend Ye Chen, he didn't take the things arranged by Ye Chen to heart.

Ye Chen will leave after giving instructions It is a habit in later generations, he is like the boss, and Manager Wu is equivalent to the secretary general, Ye Chen doesn't need to explain too much to a secretary general, just arrange things.

Second, I didn't expect that General Manager Wu would not implement it, and in the future, the secretary general could go directly to class.

There are two reasons why Ye Chen is in a hurry to leave, one is that he really can't get used to Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu is loyal and experienced, but he is already old, and he will not be flexible when he does things.

The most important thing is that when Ye Chen went to the blacksmith's workshop today, he smelled the aroma of wine, and only then did he remember that the Ye family had a very large winemaking workshop to supply wine to his restaurant.

Wine is a profiteering industry, both in later generations and now, so Ye Chen put his mind on wine.

Of course, Ye Chen doesn't know how to make wine, but as long as he knows that the wine of this era is not distilled spirit. The principle of distillation is very simple and was learned in junior high school.

Ye Chen came to the wine-making workshop, because he had to supply wine from more than a dozen restaurants, so the wine-making workshop was quite large, and the output was also good.

Ye Chen carefully investigated, he didn't say anything about how to make wine, he didn't understand, one of the things he had to do was to ask for an increase in production, as for how much to increase, of course, he would go all out.

Ye Chen arranged more people for the brewing workshop, not only to increase production, but also to prepare for future expansion.

With the Ye family restaurant and the distilled liquor that Ye Chen is about to invent, it is definitely not possible for this liquor workshop not to expand, but now spring ploughing is the top priority, so the matter of distilling liquor can only be postponed.

In the evening, Ye Chen arranged everything and returned to Ye Mansion, the first thing he did was to see how the Quyuan plow was made.

"Mr. Wu, how is my Quyuan plow made, can it be made." Ye Chen came to the account room, and at this time, Manager Wu was still doing the accounts.

"Young master, what kind of curved plow?" Mr. Wu is doing accounts all day long, and his head is a little dizzy.

As soon as Ye Chen heard this, he grew up angrily, he didn't expect that Manager Wu would turn a blind eye to the things he handed over to him, Quyuan plough is a big weapon for his food self-sufficiency in the future.

Looking at Ye Chen's unkind eyes, Steward Wu seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Young Master, what you said is this." Steward Wu picked up the wooden board on the table.

Ye Chen didn't talk nonsense, snatched the wooden board in Steward Wu's hand with one hand and turned around and left. Ye Chen had been teaching Mr. Wu Arabic numerals and new bookkeeping methods before, and it didn't matter if he didn't learn them, but now he was delayed in arranging him to do things.

"Young master..."

Manager Wu was stunned by Ye Chen's movements, and when he reacted, Ye Chen had already walked away.

At this time, Manager Wu felt that it seemed that the problem was big, it didn't matter if he was old, his three sons should not be ostracized by Ye Chen because of him.

Manager Wu panicked for a while, he knew that Ye Chen was really angry, although Ye Chen had performed well before, Manager Wu still regarded him as a hairy boy who had not dried up, and he had the attitude of relying on the old and selling the old.

Now Ye Chen showed great dissatisfaction with him, which made Manager Wu at a loss, and immediately put down everything to find Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen walked out of the tent, he went straight to the craftsman's place outside the mansion, and Manager Wu naturally couldn't find Ye Chen, so he went directly to ask Old Man Ye for guilt.

Manager Wu didn't dare to hide anything when he got to Old Man Ye, and told Old Man Ye the original thing.

Old Man Ye has the heart to let Ye Chen take over the Ye family, and he has gradually delegated power recently.

As a servant, this Chief Manager Wu ignored the things explained by his master, and since Old Man Ye chose to let Ye Chen take over the Ye family, he didn't want to add more elbows, so he made a decision.

"Old Wu, you have worked hard for the Ye family for many years, and it is also time to take care of your life, I think your youngest son Wu Xian is good, so recruit him back to replace you."

Manager Wu sighed in his heart when he heard this, he was finally about to retire after working hard for half his life, and Old Man Ye was the greatest comfort to him if he could let his son take over the position of chief manager.

He naturally didn't know what happened after Ye Chen left, and he arrived at the place where the carpenter was.

The carpenter's workshop is not big, so he usually makes some furniture and does some tinkering things.

Ye Chen gathered four or five craftsmen, although it was late, Ye Chen asked them to rush to work overnight, and if they could make three after dawn, they would be rewarded with a bonus of half a month's wages.

The carpenters were overjoyed when they heard Ye Chen's words, patted their chests and assured that they would complete the task.

Ye Chen went to the blacksmith workshop again, and the blacksmith workshop was still in full swing at this time, because Ye Chen had just promised them a reward for completing the task, and someone came to give them a part of the bonus not long after Ye Chen left.

Ye Chen has always been pragmatic and not pragmatic, in order to stimulate the motivation of the craftsmen, he immediately issued a part of the bonus to prevent their enthusiasm from diminishing.

When Wang Tieshan saw Ye Chen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Young master, you are here, even if you have any orders, the blacksmith workshop will do its best."

"Well, you make me a few plowshares, and you can go and discuss the size with the carpenter."

"Okay, young master, what else do you want." Wang Tieshan was a little strange, he had also beaten a lot of this plowshare, and he was familiar with the style and size, why did he have to discuss it with the carpenter, but Ye Chen commanded, he didn't dare to ask more.

"Well, very good, I only have one request, I must build at least three pairs after dawn, I have an urgent use." Ye Chen was very satisfied with Wang Tieshan's attitude, and those who were subordinates had to obey and execute.

"Don't worry, I will personally lead the team to build it later, and I will definitely complete the task." Wang Tieshan is a straightforward man, Ye Chen is good to him, and he should also be reciprocated.

After explaining the task, Ye Chen returned to Ye Mansion, but when he arrived in front of his courtyard, he saw Steward Wu waiting at the door.

Ye Chen was very surprised that Manager Wu would be waiting for him here.

"Young master, the old slave is here to ask for sin, and he shouldn't be so neglectful to the young master."

Ye Chen didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, after all, he was the old man's old courtier, and he thought that if there was anything to do to him in the future, he would just do it himself, but Ye Chen also had the intention of cultivating his own lineage.

"Manager Wu doesn't need to mind, your old affairs are busy and it's hard work."

"Thank you for the young family's main sympathy, the old slave feels old, when he is old, he has asked the master to resign, and the master has arranged a new manager, and he will come to take over the position of the old slave in a while." Manager Wu lowered his posture very low, and said that it was arranged by Old Man Ye, and he gave himself a step down, and expressed his attitude to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was grateful to Old Man Ye in his heart, he had a general manager who was familiar with things, and it was much more convenient for him to assign tasks, since Old Man Ye had made such a decision, this new general manager would definitely not go against him, as long as he had the ability and character, he could cultivate it into his own lineage.

Manager Wu left after his superficial attitude, Ye Chen asked him to do his job well in the past few days, he nodded and said that the matter was over.
