Chapter 195: This is a Father's Test

At this moment, Cao Cao's heart was full of doubts.

Looking at the two kinds of ploughs in front of him, there are indeed a lot of changes in appearance, but these changes can reduce the plough's labor by half and greatly improve the efficiency at the same time?

Anyway, Cao Cao thought it was incredible.

Cao Cao did not give a direct answer to this matter, and some things can only be known after practice.

It will be clear what the next result will be.

Frankly speaking, Cao Cao also has some expectations, if what Cheng Yu said is true, this may not be a good thing, it can improve the efficiency of farming, which is beneficial to the people and the country.

Soon.

Both sides are ready.

They each drove a plough, and compared to the two-ox plow, the Gongzi plow, which is also a curved plow, is much lighter, which is a difference that can be seen at a glance.

Two ploughs are on the road, and because of the proficiency, the two ox plows start much faster.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Everyone around them looked curious.

It was also the first time they had heard of the plow.

"At the moment, this plough doesn't seem to be anything special!"

Someone said curiously.

Cao Cao's eyes burned, but his mouth did not speak.

The same is true for Cheng Yu.

Time passed little by little, the situation finally changed, and I don't know how long it took, but the speed of the plow, which was still much behind, had greatly improved.

This change has caught many people by surprise.

This caught Cao Cao's attention, and he said thoughtfully:

"This plough seems to have really miraculous effects, but the speed is slow because it is not skilled, and after the plough carrier is proficient, it is obviously lighter than the second ox plow."

Cheng Yu nodded knowingly and said:

"What the prime minister said is extremely true."

Fang just swore by it, but he didn't dare to speak at all at this moment, and he was really suddenly slapped in the face.

And in the public eye.

Childe plows very fast, especially when turning, and the gap is simply not too obvious.

The two cows turned around, both of which were difficult problems.

A cow doesn't have any of these troubles.

This gives the overall handling an increase in speed, which is really jaw-dropping.

After a short time, Childe ploughed ahead.

After the land was cultivated, Cao Cao did not directly express his attitude, but beckoned to Cheng Yu.

The two of them went straight to the study.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Prime Minister."

Glancing at Cheng Yu, Cao Cao bowed his head and said:

"Zhongde, this son-in-law plough really deserves his reputation, I didn't expect Liu Qi to have such a ability, and he really underestimated him.

This plough has been popularized in the south for a long time, which has made the farming efficiency of the people in the south more efficient, which is not a trivial matter. In the future, our territory must also spread this plough as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you fall behind, it will be annoying. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said:

"Don't worry, the prime minister, the humble post will definitely arrange this matter properly, but if you want to promote this plough, how should you call it, if you come to us, you can't still call it the son plow, right?

In the opinion of humble duty, it is better to improve less, and then name it the prime minister's plow, I don't know what the prime minister wants? ”

When he heard this, Cao Cao almost couldn't help but roll his eyes, it is true that he Cao Mengde likes other people's daughters-in-law, but he is not a person who sells fame and reputation.

Because Cao Cao always does things above board.

Even if this son-in-law plough has a lot to do with it, there is no need to make a fool of himself, and if Liu Qi knows about it in the future, wouldn't his prime minister's plow become a joke, and it will be even more meaningless.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said with certainty:

"It doesn't have to be like this, you can call it whatever it should be, no matter what, this Liu Qi is also a man of the Han Dynasty, when he led an army to recruit Xianbei, he was indifferent.

Then this time, a certain will give him this face, and besides, even if this plough is called the son's plow, if there is no active publicity, how many people know that this is Liu Qi?

How can it not be my Cao Cao's son? ”

When he said this, Cao Cao seemed very sure that to be a man is to have self-confidence, not to look forward and backward.

Hearing this, Cheng Yu already understood what Cao Cao meant.

He hastened to reply:

"If you don't think about your humble duties, please forgive me."

Cao Cao didn't mean to pursue it, the problem that Cheng Yu considered was normal in itself, and using the title of Gongzi Plough belonged to unknowingly giving Liu Qi propaganda.

Without Cao Cao's answer, it would be really embarrassing.

But now that Cao Cao has spoken, there is no such problem, Cheng Yu just needs to do his own thing.

Immediately, Cao Cao also said:

"If this plough wants to be promoted, it can only be made by the government first, so that the people know the benefits of this thing, and now the time is pressing, and this matter must be done quickly."

looked at the back of Cheng Yu leaving.

Cao Cao's face was slightly solemn, he was not worried about other things, but because of the appearance of Gongzi Plow, Cao Cao realized a problem, that is, the south today does not seem to be as simple as she thought, and there are still many hidden heritages.

This Liu Qi is indeed not an ordinary person.

Don't take it lightly!

During this period, Cao Cao was the most pleased:

"What are you worried about?"

Cao Pi was silent in his heart, what he was most worried about at the moment was undoubtedly a problem, this son's plough was called Gongzi, but Cao Pi didn't know at all, it didn't matter at all.

Could it be that it was a signal released by Cao Cao, and it was related to Cao Zhi, which was not a small trouble for Cao Pi.

After a short silence, Cao Pi explained seriously.

At this time, even Sima Yi looked stunned.

Is there such a thing?

In the eyes of others, Cao Cao's actions could not have been unintentional, and there must be a reason for them.

After careful consideration, Sima Yi said:

"What Gongzi is worried about is this Gongzi's plow, but it is a signal released by the prime minister, and it is related to Zijian Gongzi?"

Cao Pi nodded.

Then, Sima Yi couldn't help but laugh:

"In my opinion, the son does not have to worry, although this plough was named the plough by the prime minister, but it was not marked which son, indicating that the prime minister has not yet made up his mind.

Moreover, this thing may not be an opportunity for the childe, as long as he can gain the trust of the prime minister, the position of the son will be unshakable in the future, so what is there to worry about? ”

Cao Pi was stunned, this was an unfolding he didn't expect, and hurriedly said:

"Please also ask Mr. Zhongda to teach me."

Sima Yi was not ambiguous, and said directly:

"The prime minister's naming arrangement has already shown the prime minister's attitude, that is, this plough is very important, if Childe can help promote this plow, what does Childe think will happen to the prime minister?"

Cao Pi, who was still at a loss, seemed to have opened the door to a new world under Sima Yi's reminder at this moment, which can be said to be a sudden opening.

Far from being a problem, this is an opportunity.

Maybe this is the trial set by my father.

If Cao Cao knew that Cao Pi had this idea, I am afraid that he would have to look confused, he had not thought about it at all!

This thing is called Childe Plough because it was called so before.

It's really inexplicable.

Of course, Cao Pi is not the only one who knows the news.

Now Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are competitors, and whoever can stand in the end will be able to inherit Cao Cao's foundation.

Otherwise, it is the loss of everything.

Of course, they are not willing to give it away.

Therefore, Cao Pi paid so much attention to Cao Cao's actions, and so did Cao Zhi, and soon someone came to report.

In the middle of the mansion.

Cao Zhi, who learned of this, reacted exactly the same as Cao Pi at the beginning, in fact, Cao Zhi is not as good as Cao Pi in terms of political ability, but his literary talent is indeed extraordinary.

"What is my father's intention?"

Cao Zhi couldn't think of an answer to this question for a while, and he didn't know what he should do.

Even Cao Pi can't figure out what Cao Zhi can't understand, let alone Cao Zhi, but Cao Pi has Sima Yi, and Cao Zhi also has it, and it is known as the first in the world

Yang Xiu, a smart man.

It is undeniable that Yang Xiu is indeed very smart.

A lot of things are key at a glance.

However, this person just doesn't have the eyesight to see, no matter how smart his brain is, Cao Cao wants to kill him, that is, in a word, he can't compete with Cao Cao.

But all along, Yang Xiu didn't know how to converge.

He didn't think about it at all.

And Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi, the two are actually a kind of people, they both have extraordinary talents, but they are both lacking in life, which has doomed their ending.

At this moment, Cao Zhi did not let people invite Yang Xiu.

Because Yang Xiu is in his house at this moment.

Cao Zhi turned around, and saw Yang Xiu who was standing, his eyes were burning, and he asked affirmatively:

"Brother Dezu, what do you think about this matter?"

After Cao Zhi told him what happened, Yang Xiu looked thoughtful, and then he replied:

"Childe, in fact, there is no need to worry about this matter, the reason why the prime minister arranged it this way is not to say which son he prefers, but to take this opportunity to do a trial.

However, since the prime minister sent Cheng Zhongde to arrange, it shows that the prime minister attaches great importance to this matter, and perhaps the outcome of this matter will be closely related to the prime minister's final decision. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhi's expression also became serious.

He realized the gravity of the matter.

This matter is really not that simple, he knows that his father will not do meaningless things.

Immediately, Yang Xiu said seriously:

"It is not clear what the specific plough is, but since the prime minister has arranged it this way, it makes sense, and what the prince wants to do is to assist the prime minister in promoting this thing.

This plough is called the son plough, perhaps the prime minister wants to choose the successor with the help of the people's will, who can get the approval of the people, is the real son, that is, the prime minister's heir. ”

Cao Zhi was deeply shocked.

Unexpectedly, my father's arrangement was so unbelievable and completely unexpected.

But when you think about it, it's understandable.

This kind of operation is exactly Cao Cao's style.

Although Cao Zhi, as a cultural person, likes poetry and poetry the most, he also knows that the importance of this position cannot be easily missed if he has the opportunity.

Therefore, Cao Zhi replied affirmatively:

"I see, fortunately Dezu is here, otherwise I would never have imagined that my father would have arranged it like this. Such an opportunity must not be missed, otherwise the eldest brother will take the lead, and it will be troublesome in the future. ”

Yang Xiu nodded slowly, and said:

"There are also masters around the eldest son, and the third prince should not be taken lightly, otherwise the outcome will be unpredictable."

They all firmly believed that this was Cao Cao's intention.

In the final analysis, the word "childe" is too thought-provoking, but if you change your name, it won't make people think so crankily, and you will make up a lot of things in your brain.

But for Cao Cao, although this matter was not arranged by him, if there was a change in the end, it would be an unexpected joy.

Whether it is Cao Pi or Cao Zhi.

They all felt that this was a trial arranged by Cao Cao.

So they acted without exception.

They have absolutely no experience in promoting ploughs and don't know what to do.

However, the more this is the case, the more important it becomes.

If there is no difficulty, how can something that can be solved with a raise of a hand be called a trial?

It is because of the challenges that they can show their abilities.

Meantime.

When they learn that each other is also preparing, the idea of competition in their hearts intensifies.

This is a crucial matter, and the chain must not be dropped.

If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to get in that position again in the future.

This is undoubtedly a difficult problem.

The changes in the north were not expected by Liu Qi.

However, Qu Yuan plough may flow out, but this Liu Qi thought of it, but even if he thought of it, there was no way to stop it, he couldn't go to great lengths to build a wall to stop people, right?

With the large number of Quyuan plows, he wanted to go to Cao Cao with a plough

Turf, just as easily.

However, Liu Qi didn't care.

Even if Cao Cao got Qu Yuan plow, he was already much behind Liu Qi.

And his magic weapon for victory is not only the quyuan plow, but also high-yield rice, which is the secret related to victory and defeat.

But Liu Qi will not let others know about this matter easily.
