Chapter 47 Agricultural Innovation

"Ding! Ding-bang! "Just after the beginning of August, the Assassin's Mansion was transformed into a factory, and every day different kinds of craftsmen entered the mansion, and the people were talking about the secrets hidden in the mansion, which must have something to do with the recent war.

Of course, the people will not guess the truth, this is not a new weapon at all, but Cao Ming is researching a new type of agricultural tools.

Cao Cao has already sent troops to attack Xuzhou, as the so-called is that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the overlords, so the Assassin Mansion has become Cao Ming's world, and now no one cares about it even if he breaks the sky.

"Are you satisfied with this time?" A craftsman wiped the sweat from his face and showed Cao Ming his work, which was a zigzag plough made according to the drawings.

Cao Ming looked at this plow worriedly, this is the fortieth plow made, and I hope it can be used normally.

However, the truth is always cruel, and after being carried to the field outside the city for experimentation, the plow still did not work up to the standard, but it could barely be used in the field.

Cao Ming thought that she couldn't blame her own drawings, if there were structural drawings drawn by professionals, they would definitely be 100% able to make them.

Cao Ming pointed to the plough on the ground and said, "You continue to modify according to the style, so that even children can easily use it, I hope you can make it within ten days, otherwise I will have to invite the next batch of craftsmen to come." ”

"No!" Several craftsmen were afraid of losing this good job, so they began to revise it immediately, you must know that Cao Ming spent a lot of money, and how many people were waiting in line to do it.

At this time, a soldier ran over and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao asked to see each other, saying that they came for the matter of Xuzhou." ”

Cao Ming glared at the sergeant: "I didn't see that I was busy with business here, tell them something important, and wait for my father to come back and make a decision." ”

The armor man was embarrassed: "The lord has given an order before, saying that there are important matters that you should deal with first, and you don't have to wait for him to come back to solve it." ”

"Let's go!" Cao Ming knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they didn't go, they would definitely make trouble.

Cao Ming rode all the way back to the Thorn Mansion, and the two of them were already in the lobby, and it seemed that they had been here for a while.

Cao Ming sat in the hall and said, "I don't know what the two of you are looking for me, I'm busy with important things now, and I don't have a lot of time." ”

Chen Gong and Zhang Miao glanced at each other, and everyone understood that Cao Ming didn't want to take care of things, so they came up with a reason to prevaricate them.

Chen Gong arched his hands and said: "The minister has something important to report, and now the people of Yanzhou are complaining, and they are all reprimanding Cao Cao for attacking Xuzhou for no reason, causing heavy casualties to the people of the two states, and asking Niangniang to write a letter to Cao Cao to withdraw from the army." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said: "What Master Chen said is indeed reasonable, what is there to fight in this war, isn't it over if Tao Qian surrenders directly." ”

Cao Ming thought that this Xuzhou Mu Taoqian didn't seem to be tough enough, so he wanted to guard his one-third of an acre, and now he was hurt by others before he remembered to find his mother, wouldn't it be okay to let Xuzhou out.

The two didn't expect Cao Ming to say such a thing, within the scope of their cognition, as the empress, they should not favor their family, but should prevent Cao Cao from expanding the war.

Zhang Miao said impatiently: "Niangniang's words are wrong, Cao Cao once killed Jiujiang County for some trivial things, and now he sent troops to attack Xuzhou for no reason, how can he be qualified to be a state pastor?" ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Lord Zhang's words are more reasonable, then I will write a letter to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw from the army, this time it should be done, right?" ”

"Niangniang should" Chen Gong swallowed halfway through his words, he almost made a mistake just now, after all, Cao Cao is Cao Ming's biological father, she will definitely not order Cao Cao to be arrested, but will find a reason to arrest herself.

"Come on, send the two adults out!" Cao Ming is too lazy to care about these two people, now the state pastor is the emperor of the soil, and the only difference from the Warring States Period is that he did not blatantly claim to be the king.

"Two adults, please!" Hearing this, the two armor soldiers walked in, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong had no choice but to obey the order and leave the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion.

After leaving the Assassin's Mansion, Chen Gong sighed and said: "I knew that Cao Cao was such a person, I should have opposed him as the pastor of Yanzhou at the beginning, but now it seems that he is not thinking about the people." ”

Chen Miao hesitated and said, "But Brother Meng De treats us well, we can't stab him in the back." ”

Chen Gong's eyes changed: "Where Meng Zhuo's words go, we represent that the people of Yanzhou are here to persuade peace, and the matter has not yet reached the point where there is no room for maneuver." ”

Early the next morning, Cao Ming sent people to continue to study the Quyuan plow, as long as the Quyuan plough was overcome, it would be a revolutionary impact on agricultural production, and the quality and efficiency of farming would be greatly improved.

"Niangniang, someone wants to see you, saying that she is here to apply!" A soldier walked into the lobby and woke up Cao Ming, who was sleeping on the desk.

"Bring him in!" Cao Ming heard that someone was coming to apply, and immediately came to a lot of spirits, hoping that this person would not be a liar.

A young man in shabby clothes walked in, then knelt down and said, "The little man heard that Niangniang was recruiting craftsmen, so he came to apply. ”

Cao Ming patted her forehead worriedly, why is it still a stutter, is this guy really a craftsman.

"Pingshen, what's your name and what are you going to do?" Cao Ming thought to himself that he couldn't drive people away, maybe he had some real materials, after all, he couldn't judge people by their appearance.

The young man stood up and said, "The villain's name is Ma Majun, and he likes to make some playthings since he was a child. ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that this person turned out to be Ma Jun, the master of the historical restoration of the guide car, and the famous mechanical inventor in Chinese history.

Thinking of this, Cao Ming decided to leave him: "As long as you can make a Quyuan plow, you can get fifty gold, but if you can't make it, you will have nothing, take him to change his clothes." ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Ma Jun knew that his opportunity was coming, he was poor since he was a child, not to mention fifty gold, even a small piece of broken silver is rare.

Cao Ming then advised: "You have to remember what I said, have a little confidence in yourself, and don't be nervous when you speak, so that you won't stutter." ”

"The villain remembered!" Ma Jun did what Cao Ming said, and he was able to speak more fluently.

After Ma Jun left, Cao Ming's heart immediately had hope, if this genius couldn't handle it again, then he had to give up Qu Yuan Plow.

Five days later, Ma Jun handed over the results of the improvement, and Cao Ming immediately led people to check that the quyuan plough was indeed usable, and the farmers present were all amazed.

After all, they are now using straight ploughs, which is very inconvenient to cultivate, and the yield of farmland is not too high.

On the other side, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou caused a butterfly effect, first Yuan Shu sent troops to help Tao Qian, and then Yuan Shao also took the opportunity to send troops to Xuzhou, it seems that he also wants to follow some benefits, until Emperor Xian personally intervened to mediate, this plundering war was completely stopped.

In the camp of Cao Jun, Cao Cao stared at the map in a daze, and then sighed: "As long as I give me another half a month, I can drive Yuan Shu and Tao Qian out of Xuzhou, and the cooked duck will fly!" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "It seems that Tao Qian's life is still good, if it weren't for Yuan Shu and Shengshang's intervention, this Xuzhou would definitely be ours." ”

"Let's go back!" Cao Cao knew that this battle would not be able to continue, so he could only wait until next year to find another opportunity, and when the time came, he would attack together with Yuzhou, and he would definitely be able to easily take Xuzhou.

The news of Cao's army's evacuation spread, and the stone in Tao Qian's heart fell, and this Xuzhou was temporarily saved.

Fast forward to early November, Yanzhou has successfully carried out agricultural reform, and the people have not only used new agricultural tools, but also reduced their taxes, and it will not be long before Yanzhou becomes rich.

In the Thorn Mansion of Shanyang County, Cao Cao received a new edict, and after reading it, he ordered someone to call Cao Ming, and it seems that the matter has a lot to do with her.

"What does my father want to do with me?" Cao Ming thought to herself that it shouldn't be a bad thing that she hadn't made a mistake recently.

Cao Cao was a little angry and said: "The Holy Majesty ordered you to go to the capital, saying that it was to complete the canonization ceremony, and now it has been announced to the world." ”

After hearing this, Cao Ming refused: "This is obviously to let me go to jail, and even worse, we have to find a way to refuse." ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that this Chang'an had become hell, and at this time it was no different from looking for death, or like those women in the palace, she would become the plaything of those rebellious ministers and thieves.

Cao Cao thought for a long time and said: "I have a way to solve it, just say that you go to the house to honor the elderly, please ask the Holy Admiral to postpone the canonization ceremony, it is estimated that in a few months, this matter will be over." ”

"Then I'll go home and have a look." Cao Ming thought that he was finally liberated, Cao Song was still very good to himself, not as strict as Cao Cao was with him, after all, the next generation was closer.

Cao Cao added: "Don't make trouble for me when you go back, especially don't say bad things about me, I am the most uneasy about you, and you can come back next year, and let my heart be calm." ”

"I'm going to say bad things about you, you're a puppy!" Cao Ming thought to herself, even if you say it, what can you do to me, it's not really a dog.

The next day, Cao Ming left Shanyang County and rode to the border of Xuzhou, where the fighting had just stopped, and there were empty houses everywhere, and the smell of blood was still in the air.

As Cao Ming expected, Tao Qian set up checkpoints at the border, and there were no less than 100 people in charge of defense, and it seemed that Cao Cao was really scared.

"You're from Yanzhou?" Shi Chang glanced at Cao Ming's token, his expression was full of hostility, after all, Cao Cao had only sent troops to attack.

Cao Ming nodded and said, "I'm just going home to visit relatives, I hope this eldest brother can make it convenient, even if there is a war, it's none of our people's business." ”

"Let's go!" Seeing that Cao Ming was a girl, it was estimated that it would not be possible to work carefully, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to get out of the way.
