At the time of this year's New Year, the Chen family was much more lively than before.

In addition to happily reuniting for the New Year, the Chen family also has a major event, that is, Chen Zhou's remarriage.

Er Qiao has already been married, it is Chen Zhou's wife, but there is still a wedding left, Lu Lingqi is staying in the Chen family now, not going anywhere, and with the consent of the Yan family, the relationship with Chen Zhou is also still a wedding away.

This time the wedding was held, and the three of them married Chen Zhou at the same time.

According to the first-come, first-served arrangement, Qiao Ying became the third lady, Qiao Shuang was the fourth lady, then Lu Lingqi could only be the fifth lady, and they had no other opinions on this order.

It is best to marry Chen Zhou.

This wedding, there was no excitement before Cao Shan and Liu Ling got married, but they went to the ceremony inside, waited until everything was over, had another meal, drank a little wine, and finally it was the time for the candles in the cave room.

Even though they had already been in the house, the process continued tonight.

In order to avoid all kinds of troubles, Chen Zhou didn't want to take care of one or the other, so he simply arranged the three of them together.

Next.

Chen Zhou got up, reminisced about last night, and felt a little sore in his waist again.

They shyly followed behind Chen Zhou, first went to meet Liu Ling and Cao Shan, this ceremony was indispensable, and then they happily stayed at home and continued to wait for the time to pass.

——

Sometimes, time flies.

Unconsciously, spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, and their stoves can be put away.

The people outside, taking advantage of the melting water of the ice and snow, moistened the cultivated land, and were busy cultivating the land in preparation for the spring ploughing of the new year.

The plan of a day lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring.

Cao Cao discussed with everyone to determine that it was still necessary to use Chen Zhou's method of Mintun, as for the military tun, he did not dare to use it on a large scale, but used a small part of the retired soldiers who could not go to the battlefield but could still farm.

It is a small attempt, if the effect is good, then consider spreading it, after all, if the army is in the tun, it is easy for the army to lose its combat effectiveness.

"Wataryuki."

Cao Cao led Chen Zhou and others to the suburbs to take a look at the situation in Mintun, and said with a smile: "Just after the New Year, before the snow melts, I issued a decree that no longer count cattle and lose grain, but collect grain in proportion to attract Tuntian customers." The effect is very good, this side was originally wasteland, after being annexed, now there are many Tuntian guests to reclaim it, and the air is filled with a fresh earthy smell. ”

Guo Jia echoed: "There is also the land that we confiscated from Dong Cheng and others last year, and now it is also distributed, many tenant farmers are willing to switch from the family to our imperial court, and the displaced people who originally came to Xu Du to seek refuge are now assigned to Tuntian. The implementation of the plan can indeed arouse the enthusiasm of Tuntian. ”

Chen Zhou asked, "Then the wealthy family, don't they have enough tenant farmers to cultivate?" They should hate us? ”

"It's normal for them to hate us."

Xun Yu disagreed: "The family does not pay grain, which is not conducive to the development of the imperial court, although I am also a family, but I do not deny the disadvantages of not paying grain, Du Zhi once told me about the family and land annexation, as well as the law of the dynasty for three hundred years." ”

Most of the other people present, except for Cao Cao and others, as well as those who have a good relationship with Xun Yu, have never heard the content of Chen Zhou's lectures.

Xun Yu described the course of the day to them.

The content of the course is very unfriendly to the Maison, and it can even be said that it is against the Maison.

Land annexation is also a compulsory subject for the family.

Hearing Xun You say it so boldly, Chen Zhou was also worried that Chen Qun and other people from the family would be very unkind to him, or even regarded him as an enemy, right?

But no, they all fell into deep thought.

It's like thinking about whether his family's behavior is right.

However, it is impossible to judge whether they are really thinking or fake thinking.

"Alright."

Cao Cao interrupted the topic in order to make the scene less embarrassing, and said, "I heard that the plows used by the people to plough the land now are still improved by crossing, right?" ”

Regarding the matter of Qu Yuan Plough, Cao Ang had already told Cao Cao.

This is a deliberate attempt to divert the subject and divert their thoughts away from the Maison.

Hearing this, they looked into the field at the same time.

I saw that those peasants only needed an ox to pull a plow, which was more convenient and the speed was extremely fast, which was different from the previous two-oxen plow.

"yes!"

"When I came out to welcome the spring before, I saw that the farmers were struggling to plow the land, and suddenly I had an idea to help them change it."

"I didn't expect them to spread this year."

Chen Zhou nodded in acknowledgement.

"Watari's idea is still so good."

Xun You admired: "Even the farm tools know how to change, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Du Zhi is omnipotent." ”

Chen Zhou smiled modestly.

They continued to look into the field, only to see one person, one ox and one plow, ploughing a piece of land, and easily doing it, greatly improving production efficiency, saving labor and production tools.

"That's a good job."

Cao Cao nodded as he watched.

"Lord, how much food do we have?"

Chen Zhou asked: "Now that spring is in the spring, Liu Bei will definitely flee to Yecheng, even if Yuan Shao doesn't want to cross the river, Liu Bei will fool Yuan Shao to cross the river, a big war in Henan and Hebei is inevitable." Then Yuan Shao at this time should be ready to go south and start a war with us. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Mao Gong, how is it?" ”

Mao Jue, who was following him out of the city together, said when he heard this: "If we remove the grain and grass used to relieve the displaced people, our grain can be used for four to five months from the day our army set off." ”

As he spoke, he frowned and said worriedly: "With our current grain and grass, we are afraid that we will not be able to get much benefit from fighting with Yuan Shao." ”

Yuan Shao's grain is definitely a lot.

The Cao family's grain is only so little.

In their cognition, this battle will never be fought for four or five months.

Cao Cao in history, if Xu Yu had not surrendered and burned Yuan Shao's grain in Wuchao, I am afraid that in the end, he would either defect to Yuan Shao and be annexed by Yuan Shao, or he would have been completely defeated by Yuan Shao.

"Four or five months, that's enough."

Chen Zhou said calmly: "There is less grain and grass, and we have less ways to play." ”

Mao Jue shook his head and said, "It's still too risky." ”

Chen Zhou said: "It's a bit risky, but it won't be particularly risky, even if we don't want to fight this battle, then Yuan Shao is willing to stop fighting with us, and then fight when we have accumulated enough food and grass?" No, it won't! ”

Mao Jue was silent.

This battle has not yet begun, everyone knows that it cannot be stopped, Yuan Shao is not charitable, and fighting is not a family, how can Cao Cao be fully prepared to fight again?

"I believe in Wataruki."

Cao Cao affirmed: "This battle must be fought, since it can't be avoided, why not face it directly?" ”

Seeing Cao Cao say this, Mao Jue couldn't say anything more.

"Uncle."

At this time, Xiahou Jie came over eagerly from the direction of Xu Du and said, "Uncle, there is news from Yecheng's fine work." ”
