Xun Qiao, as a little secretary, has always followed Chen Zhou very sensibly.

It wasn't until they went back to Chen's house together and saw that Chen Zhou had nothing else to tell her, that she left and went back to Xun's house.

However, when he returned home, Xun Qiao saw his father Xun Yu, who happened to come back from Taixue, and was going to bring some books from his home collection to Taixue, and then print them for the people in the factory.

"Qiao'er, I heard that you became Watari's secretary?"

Xun Yu suddenly asked, what does the secretary mean, he also learned it from Cao Ang.

As a woman, Xun Qiao also knew that it was right for her to stay at home, and it seemed a little inappropriate to go out to be Chen Zhou's secretary.

In addition, in the past year, Xun Qiao often went in and out of Chen's house to meet Chen Zhou, and it was obvious that there was something wrong.

Hearing his father's question, Xun Qiao's face turned crimson, and he said softly: "Yes! I hope I can help Mr. , he is very good, he understands everything, and he can learn a lot by his side. ”

Xun Qiao couldn't understand his daughter's thoughts, so he said helplessly: "You...... When I have time, I'll talk to Watari about you. ”

"Father's ......"

When Xun Qiao heard this, he was a little embarrassed, blushing and lowering his head again.

In this way, it is obvious that she is going to marry Chen Zhou.

But the daughter of the Xun family can only be a concubine?

Under normal circumstances, Xun Yu does not allow this, but he also admires Chen Zhou and does not dislike Chen Zhou at all.

Even if she is a concubine, as long as her daughter is willing, it is not impossible.

"Alright, come back and rest for a while!"

Xun Yu originally wanted to chat with Chen Qun, the marriage between Xun and Chen, since his daughter fell in love with Chen Zhou, he was not good at beating mandarin ducks, and continued: "I have time to find Du Zhi again, I won't let you down." ”

"Thank you, father."

Xun Qiao said with a red face.

It's embarrassing for my father to see through my thoughts.

But the thought of marrying Mr. makes my heart sweet.

Xun Yu quickly asked people to send the books out and put this matter aside for the time being.

Xun Qiao was looking forward to it at home, and when he thought about it, he secretly smiled, and when he saw Xun Yun and other people in the family, he had an inexplicable feeling.

——

Chen Zhou returned home, and after sitting for a while, Elk Zhen came.

The meaning of her arrival is obvious, that is, she wants to be closer to Chen Zhou, and Chen Zhou is of course polite.

The other ladies, seeing that Elk Zhen was coming, welcomed them warmly.

During the time of the expedition, Xun Qiao and Elk Zhen came over a lot to interact with Chen Zhou's ladies, and their relationship couldn't be better now.

Seeing so many beauties in the family, Chen Zhou felt a full sense of accomplishment, but the beauties sat together and chatted, Chen Zhou was basking in the sun in the front yard, and at this time he was thinking that it was time to have a child.

Keep up the good work tonight.

Before the expedition, they worked hard, but they still didn't have children, maybe they were working in the wrong direction.

"You can't have several ladies at the same time, it should be one at night, concentrate on having the first child first." Chen Zhou thought in his heart.

In the evening, he chatted with Cao Shan.

Cao Shan's face was red, and she felt that Chen Zhou's words were very reasonable.

It may not be easy for a few ladies to be together at the same time, but just do it, that night, Chen Zhou and Cao Shan made people alone.

The next morning.

Cao Shan was alone in the firepower, and she didn't have the strength to get up.

Chen Zhou didn't want to get up either, but Mrs. Gan said outside that Cao Ang was here and made him have to go out.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

"The things that Mr. mentioned earlier, I brought them back."

Cao Ang said excitedly.

"What's that?"

Chen Zhou was thinking that he had mentioned it, did he ask Cao Ang to find something?

Maybe!

But he had long forgotten about it.

Cao Ang said: "Zhancheng rice! ”

In this era, is there really a city of Zhancheng rice?

Chen Zhou remembered it and hurriedly asked Cao Ang to take him to have a look.

Arrived at Cao's house, inside the backyard.

Not only Zhancheng rice, but even the cotton that I went to the Western Regions to find also came, and it was sent by Ma Teng, and it was placed in the backyard of the Cao family.

In total, more than 200 cars came.

Some of them are cotton seeds.

Chen Zhou looked at the Zhancheng rice, and saw that the grains were fuller than the ordinary rice of the Han Dynasty, as for whether the real Zhancheng rice was like this, he was not very clear.

After all, I haven't seen it before and after the crossing.

According to Cao Ang's description, the people below did get it from Champong, and it should be fine.

From the south of Guangxi, bring the rice seeds back to Henan, how far the road is can be imagined, Chen Zhou admired the perseverance of the ancients.

But cotton, he can still judge.

is no stranger to cotton, and it can be seen at a glance that it is exactly the kind he wants.

"Watari means that the yield per mu of this kind of rice is more than twice as high as that of what we are planting now?"

Cao Cao picked up a handful of rice seeds and asked in surprise.

Champa rice attracted his attention more than cotton, and he wanted to be well fed more than warmly dressed.

Because you are full, you can do many things, including warmth.

Chen Zhou nodded and said: "If there is no accident, it is theoretically possible, but the planting conditions are required, and it must be placed along the Huai River and other places, or planted in the south." ”

Cao Cao asked, "Is it okay to plant now?" ”

Chen Zhou calculated the time, now it is almost autumn, shook his head and said: "Of course not now, only next spring can be planted, if you manage it well, you can mature in one or two years, and then make good use of the fertilizer I said before, and the increase in yield per mu may be more than doubled." ”

"Really?"

Cao Cao looked at the rice seeds in Champa, and his eyes seemed to be shining.

If the Champa rice can be promoted, Cao Cao can imagine how good his rule will be in the future.

The people will no longer be hungry.

He goes to war and doesn't have to worry about running out of food.

Only when the people have enough to eat can they have the will of the people to join them.

"Come on, take the seeds down and keep them well, and next spring, select the best farmers and send them to Lujiang for breeding!"

Cao Cao was eager to know if Champa rice really had such a high yield.

If there is, the food structure of Dahan can be changed by him soon.

Someone came right away and brought the seeds down.

"And these white stacks, the kind that Watani wants, right?"

Cao Cao looked at the cotton that was set aside.

Chen Zhou nodded and said: "It is these, the lord can let people try, and use them to fill the sewn clothes, which are very warm." But the amount of cotton is not enough, and it is not enough to distribute it in large quantities to keep the people warm. ”

"Herald."

"Let Liangzhou Mu Ma Teng, collect more white stacks and send them back."

"The more the merrier!"

"Money is not an issue."

Cao Cao said aloud again.

What is the role of cotton, Cao Cao has not personally experienced.

But Chen Zhou said that it can be used, then it will definitely be used, there will be no problem, for Chen Zhou's words, of course, you can trust unconditionally.

What's more, the white stack is not expensive in the Western Regions, and at the same time as they buy it, they can also arrange it to be planted in the Central Plains.
