On snowy days, the sky is always brighter than the usual winter day.

The snow had fallen all night, and the village had become white.

The soldiers who escorted Cao Shuo got up early in the morning and prepared to leave the village, and the villagers of Junhu Village also got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the soldiers.

As smoke rose from the cooking smoke, the village women walked back and forth, bringing bowls of hot corn into the soldiers' rooms.

Cao Shuo and Tian Feng didn't sleep long at night.

After the two fell asleep, they were still talking about world affairs.

From Tian Feng, Cao Shuo felt that he had benefited a lot.

Tian Feng said to him that many of the proposals he had never thought of or thought of but did not think so deeply.

Cai Ji stood at the door and glanced into the room.

Seeing that Cao Shuo and Tian Feng were still lying in the bed, and had no intention of getting up, he clenched his fists and said, "Son, it's dawn." ”

Hearing Cai Ji's voice, Cao Shuo sat up.

Tian Feng also woke up.

He looked at the door and muttered, "It's dawn." ”

"Tian Gong didn't sleep well last night, I won't bother you when I return to Shouchun, let you sleep beautifully for three days." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "When I'm full, I'll introduce those people under me to Tian Gong." ”

"It's rare to have compassion from the child." Tian Feng smiled: "When I was in Hebei, I had never been so carefree. ”

Cao Shuo got up, and Cai Ji entered the house to help him put on his armor.

Tian Feng's cover is adjacent to Cao Shuo's.

While getting up and getting dressed, he said to Cao Shuo: "Actually, when it comes to Shouchun, I don't plan to sleep immediately, but I want to ask Gongzi to agree to meet Fu Gong." ”

"Frustrated?" Cao Shuo said: "At the beginning, I asked Fu Gong to be rescued to Shouchun, but he didn't want to go back to Hebei, but when it comes to fighting in Hebei in the future, he will be silent, which is really a headache." ”

"I'm afraid it's not just frustration that gives Gongzi a headache." Tian Feng smiled slightly and asked Cao Shuo: "Could it be that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Han Meng and other generals are willing to be enemies of Hebei?" ”

Cao Shuo shook his head and smiled: "What Tian Gong said is true, all the generals are unwilling to be enemies with Hebei, if they fight with the Yuan family in Hebei again, the generals can only stay in Huainan and other places to guard against Jiangdong and Jingzhou." ”

"Childe was decisive in killing, but he did one thing wrong." Tian Feng said: "If Gongzi didn't rescue the generals' families and let their families be killed by the Yuan family, you can see if the generals still have the intention of not being enemies of the Yuan family." ”

Cao Shuo was stunned: "What does Tian Gong mean is that I tried my best to rescue the generals' families from Hebei, but I did something wrong?" ”

"For Childe, indeed." Tian Feng said: "General Zhang Junyi used to be less loyal to the Yuan family in Hebei than generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou? He was able to lead the troops to fight with the Yuan family because the Yuan family killed his family. Although the Yuan family has the grace of knowing the situation, how can they not repay the deep family feud? ”

Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled calmly: "Maybe I didn't think about it by doing this, but I don't regret it." After all, the generals' families are here, and I won't let myself feel guilty for life because I couldn't help them rescue their families in time. ”

The two of them were already dressed when they spoke.

Wei Tu walked in with a tray in his hand.

On the tray are two small bowls of corn.

The small bowl is not made of terracotta, but porcelain with a delicate texture.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, porcelain was very expensive.

If it weren't for Huainan, it would be impossible to see porcelain in the small village.

"The villagers in the village all use porcelain?" Taking a bowl of rice, Cao Shuo asked Wei Tu.

"Not really." Wei Tu said: "In fact, the villagers can't find a few pieces of porcelain at home, but they just serve rice to Gongzi and Tian Gong, and they feel that the pottery is a little shabby, so they found these two." ”

"I thought they were all porcelain." Cao Shuo said: "It seems that I still haven't managed Huainan too well. ”

"Childe doesn't really have to take it to heart." Wei Tu said: "It's not that the people can't afford it, it's just that porcelain is too expensive, and what it can do, pottery can also do, it's really not necessary." ”

That's right.

Holding the corn to his nose and sniffing it, Cao Shuo said: "The fragrant corn rice, is it the case that the villagers of Junhu Village eat every day?" ”

"They don't eat badly." Wei Tu said with a smile: "I saw just now that the men, women and children in the village eat exactly the same as us. There should be no shortage of food here. ”

"Just eat the same as we eat." Cao Shuo asked Tian Feng, "Tian Gong, do you think there is something missing in the village?" ”

"Has Childe noticed that there are not many poultry and livestock raised in this military village?" Tian Feng asked.

"What does Tian Gong mean by letting each family raise some poultry and livestock?" Cao Shuo asked.

"No matter how fragrant corn rice is, you will get tired of eating it all the time." Tian Feng said: "What's more, people always have to eat some meat to be stronger." Even if a woman eats more meat while she is pregnant with a child, the child will be healthier. ”

"That's what Tian Gong said." Cao Shuo responded, and then instructed Cai Ji: "Call the centurion in charge of the village." ”

Cai Ji came with a centurion not long after he went out.

Entering the room, the centurion saluted and asked, "Childe called me?" ”

"Tian Gong found out that there were no livestock in the village, what happened?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Back to Gongzi, the brothers are busy doing things in the fields, and they are busy with farming and mulberry every day in addition to drills, so they really can't take care of it." Baifu replied: "And raising poultry and livestock, it also takes a lot of time to occupy ...... land."

"You can't stop doing it just because it occupies an area and takes time." Cao Shuo said: "You are busy with exercises and farm work in the fields, and the women always have nothing to do. When spring begins, I will ask people to get some poultry and livestock back, and then you will exchange your grain for the treasury. ”

"Obey Childe's orders." Centurion answered.

Cao Shuo then instructed Cai Ji on the side: "When I return to Shouchun, I will immediately let people convey the order, all military villages, after the beginning of spring, must go to the treasury to exchange grain for poultry and livestock cubs, from now on, they must not only engage in mulberry and hemp farming, but also raise livestock, so as to obtain more lucrative income." ”

Tian Feng's proposal made Cao Shuo think that if the people only planted grain or mulberry hemp, the income would not be very high.

Raising poultry and livestock will make their lives better.

Moreover, most of the women in the village are idle.

People can't be too idle.

As long as you are idle, you will always get into some trouble.

Finding something for them to do will reduce some trouble for the men in the military village.

Junhu villages have benefited from farming, and other villages will surely follow suit.

How can Cao Shuo not be rich under his rule?

After explaining that Baifu wanted to develop breeding, Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng: "Tian Gong, it's not early, we should also go on the road." ”
