"This is the general's wife, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunmei was obviously stunned, and stepped forward to explain two sentences.

She is not the wife of the Chen Dynasty!

But just as he was about to explain, Chen Chao reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulled it back twice, Chen Chao smiled and said to Old Man An: "You old man, your eyes are really poisonous, you can see this." ”

Chen Chao's words can be regarded as a disguised recognition of the identities of the two in front of outsiders.

"You're ......!"

Chu Yunmei's face turned red, and he looked at Chen Chao and stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Chu Yunmei watched Chen Chao talking to an ordinary old farmer, and the content of the chat was nothing more than the parents' shortcomings, and there were two vulgar jokes mixed in from time to time.

After a long time, Chu Yunmei became even more strange.

Ordinary nobles have never had a good face towards these peasants, but Chen Chao is different, completely different, not only does he give the old peasants a good face, but the two of them are like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

The relationship between the two is also unpredictable.

The old farmer who can be friends with Chen Chao, is this farmer surnamed An, what is so special?

Or is it an out-of-this-world master?

Once this idea popped up, it lingered in Chu Yunmei's mind.

It must be so!

"Moo-"

While chatting, an old ox suddenly sounded not far away, and then it was a ditch with a plow.

Chen Chao looked at the scene in the distance in bewilderment, squinted his eyes and asked, "That's?" ”

Old man An glanced back and waved his hand casually: "Hey, it's okay, it's the Niu family's boy, this kid is disobedient, he told him to turn over the ground after the harvest last autumn, and it should be sooner rather than later to turn over the ground, this kid doesn't listen, now the land is frozen Bang Bang is hard, he has to turn over the ground, but isn't it broken, pity his old scalper." ”

Chen Chao thought for a moment and walked over.

Old man An followed behind and walked over as well.

Chu Yunmei had no choice, walking on the potholed and uneven field, and almost broke his foot.

When Chen Chao approached, he saw a dark-skinned man who was struggling to drag the heavy plough out of the ditch, and the old ox refused to get up at all, and his nostrils were puffing and mooing.

Old man An looked at the man in the ditch and grinned: "Niu boy, it's thankless to turn the ground now, listen to my advice, don't be tired of the cow." ”

The man was covered in dirt and angry: "I want you to take care of it." ”

Old man An didn't argue with him much, he just felt sorry for the cow.

Chen Chao hesitated and asked two guards to help the man carry the heavy plow out of the ditch, and the man was not an unreasonable person, and thanked Chen Chao.

When he hung the plow cart on the old ox again, Chen Chao stopped him in time and pointed to the plow lane in his hand: "Actually, this thing is a little unusable. ”

The man felt that Chen Chao was very strange, looking at Chen Chao's outfit, he looked like he came from a big family, eating, drinking and having fun every day, and knew how to farm.

But Chen Chao had just sent someone to help him, and he was too embarrassed to say it, so he could only stubbornly say: "Then according to your meaning, what is useful?" This plow has been used for many years, and it is still very useful. ”

Chu Yunmei stood behind Chen Chao, heard the conversation between the two, and glanced at Chen Chao strangely.

Could it be that the Chen Dynasty still knows how to farm?

At this moment, Old Man An was holding a hoe, and he also looked at Chen Chao strangely, and said, "This plow cart is easy to use, it is a treasure left by the ancestors." ”

Chen Chao took a deep breath and shook his head.

He went down to the plowcart himself, looked left and right, and even squatted down to take a closer look at the structure of the plowtruck.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Chao said: "How many years old objects, it's long overdue to be replaced." ”

"Well, go to the manor and get pen and paper."

Chen Chao waved his hand and asked one of the guards to go to the manor to get pen and paper.

He's going to start pretending......

Bah!

For the benefit of the people!

Soon, the guards took the pen and paper from the manor, and Chen Chao briefly sketched on the paper according to the appearance of the plow cart in front of him.

Chen Chao painted and improved at the same time, and at the same time said:

"Your plough is straight, long, too bulky, no wonder the old ox is not willing to pull the plow, you see here, I changed it to a curved wheel, short wheel, so that the whole plow skeleton will be greatly reduced, the weight will also be reduced, the most important thing is in the position of the head of the wheel, install a plow disc that can rotate freely, the purpose of this is to make it easier to turn and operate, you will also save a lot of effort."

The man surnamed Niu was illiterate, but he understood what Chen Chao had drawn on the drawings, pointed at it, and asked, "Is this really useful?" ”

Chen Chao added a few more strokes to ensure that the craftsman could make it with the drawings.

"You ask a carpenter to make one for you, and you can try it."

"It must be useful, at least it's better than your big guy, it doesn't take much effort, there are carpenters in the village, right?"

"Yes." The man patted the soil on his body and carefully took the drawings drawn by Chen Chao himself, which was extremely precious.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Chao clapped his hands and handed the pen to the guard behind him.

If it works, it's time to promote it.

What age is it, Quyuan plough has not yet appeared!

Chen Chao is really getting more and more incomprehensible about this era!

Sending away the man surnamed Niu, Old Man An stood in place, frowning.

Judging from the experience he had planted all his life, the kind of plow cart that Chen Chao drew on paper must be useful.

"That plow cart is a rarity, why did the general give it to that stupid boy, it should be reported to the government."

Old man An walked to Chen Chao's side, but said regretfully.

"Hmm...... Let him try to see that it doesn't work, and if it works, he will report it to the government, and then implement it throughout the country, if it doesn't work and report it to the government, wouldn't it be a joke for others to see me. Chen Chao replied casually.

Old man An had an honest smile on his face and nodded.

Chen Chao continued: "Don't talk about this matter, I have something to trouble you." ”

"Don't bother, general, please say."

Chen Chao coughed, pointed to the surrounding fields, and said: "You are a native of Qingyuan County, you should know more about the situation in Qingyuan County than me, your Qingyuan County has a lot of sandy land, the harvest of grain is not good, and you can't get a few grains of grain all year round, I think so, since most of it is sandy land, it is better not to grow grain, and plant something else, such as grapes?" ”

"You just plant, you don't have to worry about the market, when the grapes are ripe, I will send someone to buy them and sell them to the capital."

Old man An paused for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"And what's fake?" Chen Chao smiled, "You just plant, I will harvest as much as you plant." ”

Old man An grinned, "That's good." ”

Chu Yunmei listened to the conversation between the two, and became even more puzzled for a while.

Chen Chao is the prime minister of Daji, what do you care about growing in one place?

After a few more small talks, Chen Chao and his party said goodbye to Old Man An.

On the way, Chu Yunmei couldn't hold back, and said curiously: "You know a lot." ”
