Chapter 196: Different Choices

For the son's plow, Cao Cao still attaches great importance to it.

Except at the beginning, Cao Cao didn't know the effect of this plough, so he thought it was incredible. But when he saw with his own eyes that the son's plow crushed the second ox plow, it was completely different. qs

Although such things cannot directly affect Cao Cao's strength, the improvement of people's cultivation efficiency means that the increase in grain production will also be affected from the side.

And Cao Cao knew what Cao Pi and others had done, it was already a few days later, and after a few busy days, Cheng Yu came to report.

Looking at Cheng Yu, who was slightly tired, it was obviously rare to have free time these days, so Cao Cao stepped forward and comforted:

"Zhongde, it's hard work."

Cheng Yu hurriedly replied:

"Prime Minister, this is all a matter of humble duties, and now the first batch of ploughs has been prepared."

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Well, now that time is pressing, this plough should be spread out as soon as possible, and whatever you need, you should do your best to meet it."

Cheng Yu is the one who said:

"The prime minister doesn't have to worry, these things can naturally be arranged properly, but now there is a strange thing, the two sons don't know where to learn about it, they take the initiative to help the lowly job popularize ploughing."

When he heard this, Cao Cao was also a little dazed.

Because in his opinion, this matter has nothing to do with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, what are the two going to do at this moment.

As for the news that they learned about Gongzi's plough, Cao Cao didn't feel abnormal, and it was reasonable for the two of them to pay attention to their own arrangements, everyone is an adult, and they should weigh the pros and cons.

But then again.

Childe plows ...... Childe plows ......

After Cao Cao hesitated, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he probably knew what Cao Pi and Cao Zhi wanted?

It's not because of the name of Gongzi's plough that the two of them think that this is a test for them. But in fact, this is Liu Qi in the south at all, and it has nothing to do with the two.

But for Cao Cao, this is not a bad thing.

Even because of the self-assertion of his two sons, Cao Cao felt that it was not unacceptable to use this opportunity to measure his two sons, and he might be able to achieve miraculous results.

At the same time, this matter was not requested by Cao Cao on his own initiative, and when the time comes, it will have nothing to do with him.

"Zhongde doesn't have to worry, since they want to help, then let them go by themselves, I also want to see how much ability they have now, and whether they can take charge of it alone."

Cao Cao's expression was indifferent and he didn't seem to care.

Since Cao Cao said so, Cheng Yu didn't bother, anyway, he was just a little brother, just do his part, and there was no direct relationship with how Cao Cao arranged the rest.

Now.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are obviously more energetic.

They all felt that this was Cao Cao's chance to test the level of the two of them, and then it was up to them to see how they responded, what means could achieve results, and at the same time get Cao Cao's approval.

Sensing the opposition between the two, Cheng Yu was also very smart, he didn't let the two go together, but let the two go to two counties at the same time, and each was responsible for the promotion of one side.

It's just a comparison or something, Cheng Yu didn't say much.

He doesn't have to be responsible anyway.

If you want to say what Cao Zhi is best at, it is, of course, writing articles, as a world-famous talent, Cao Zhi has always been very confident, and Cao Pi is far inferior in this regard.

If you want to promote fame, Cao Zhi's final method is very simple, she is going to gather his literati and ink friends in this county, and everyone will drink and write poems together to praise Gongzi Li.

When the time comes, the name of the son's plough will be spread all over the world, and then persuade the people to use it, won't it be a matter of course?

I have to admit that Cao Zhi's idea makes a lot of sense.

It's not a bad thing to get out of your reputation first, and without further ado, Cao Zhi began to act.

This is something he is used to.

Many literati and artists gathered here.

They praised Cao Zhi's benevolence one after another, and now no one knows the true meaning of Gongzi Plough, and they all think that this name is Cao Cao's attempt to measure Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Therefore, all of you,

In addition to praising the effect of Gongzi's plow, he also indirectly touted Cao Zhi.

Isn't it just face, it's too simple for a reader.

With the spread of many masterpieces, the fame of Cao Zhi and Gongzi Li has also spread, and their influence is not trivial.

The effect of Cao Zhi's side shocked Cao Pi greatly.

He didn't expect Cao Zhi to play like this at all.

However, the news, if Cao Pi wants to replicate this matter, it is impossible to be one step behind on the one hand, or one step behind.

At the same time, although Cao Pi is also a cultural person and has a certain level, his appeal in the literary world is far inferior to Cao Zhi's, and this gap is obvious.

Cao Pi is also very self-aware.

If she really wants to go toe-to-toe with Cao Zhi in this regard, she doesn't seem to have any chance of winning.

This made Cao Pi worried.

After hesitating, he sent someone back to ask Sima Yi.

And Sima Yi's reply is also very simple.

Cao Pi should play to his strengths, not go head-to-head with the enemy's advantages.

At this time, Cao Pi also reacted.

Since Cao Pi is indeed inferior to Cao Zhi in terms of publicity, he can only find another way.

After careful consideration, Cao Pi understood that although Cao Zhi's publicity was very effective, it was too broad and not sincere enough.

Because Cao Zhi used poetry and songs to publicize, among the upper class, of course, they think Cao Zhi is very good, but for ordinary people, where can they understand this?

Therefore, Cao Pi quickly made a decision.

He could have opened his mind and approached from a different angle, and he might have been able to achieve a completely different result.

And Cao Pi's choice is sincerity.

He took people to the people's ploughing, and then personally publicized the plough of Gongzi, and at the same time tried to cultivate on his own, without any bells and whistles, which was the most empathetic to the people.

Those people were also flattered.

They didn't expect that the honorable Prince Cao Pi would be so humble, you know, they are just ordinary people.

Moreover, because of Cao Pi's display, the people also knew more about the effect of Gongzi's plow, and the acceptance was higher.

Although Cao Zhi's propaganda did make many people know about this son's plow, there were very few who really understood and put it into practice.

After all, where can ordinary people understand those flowery words?

Or rather.

Nothing is more impactful than seeing it in person.

And those dignitaries and nobles who know the plough of Gongzi from the poems and songs, in addition to praising Cao Zhi, it is impossible for them to experience it directly, who has nothing to do to find guilt!

At this moment, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both put their choices into practice.

It can be said that the situation is very different.

Soon, the news also reached Cao Cao's ears.
