Twenty miles south of Puyang County.

This is a piece of land that has been abandoned. The people who worked on this field back then had to leave their hometowns because of the war and famine.

Although this place is very close to Puyang County, the prefecture of Dongjun County, it still inevitably faces the fate of being deserted.

In Dongjun, there are many abandoned villages like this around the county towns.

The vast majority of them are deserted, and only a small part of them still have some old and weak village guards, who barely maintain their daily life by farming.

of course.

As Cao Ang took over the power of the entire East County.

The large population and vitality he brought with him will gradually restore the former vitality to Dongjun, which is already showing signs of decay.

At this moment, the field where Cao Ang is located.

It has changed from an abandoned wasteland to an important military settlement that has been taken over by the military camp and belongs to the Dongjun county government.

A large number of young and strong people who originally belonged to the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have now turned into members of the army, working hard on the fields.

Even after a year of hard work, most of the labor income will be confiscated by the army.

But there will still be a large amount of food, which will be obtained by the cultivators themselves. At the same time, the entire military camp is practicing a basic rule.

That is "more pay for more work".

At the same time, the best performers can be rewarded, and when the best fields are distributed in the future, they will be given priority in selection and ownership.

Inspired by such multiple goals.

The young and strong are naturally working hard.

It is conceivable that it will not be long before the prosperous scene will be restored here.

……

"Wh... bang!"

With the farmer holding the Quyuan plow with one hand, he waved the branches with the other, and the branches and leaves suddenly splashed in the air, making a crisp sound.

"Moo!"

Perhaps being urged by the voice, the cattle walking in front immediately uttered a deep cry, and then followed the instructions given behind them.

Slowly turning his body, even the Qu Yuanli tied to his body also turned its direction.

Then continue to follow the direction when they came, and opened a ridge of field soil on the side, and opened a gully of moderate depth.

See such a situation.

The people who were standing not far away and watching could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cao Ang, who was standing in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, nodded his head one after another at this moment. The expression of approval and joy on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

Today he led the crowd to the barracks.

The purpose is to test it. Not long ago, Cheng Yu summoned craftsmen to create the finished Quyuanli.

Now he has seen the results.

Overall, it's very much to his liking.

After all, Quyuanli only needs an ox to pull it, and it is very easy to turn the direction, and the speed when plowing the field is also greatly improved.

That's all.

It can fully prove that the Quyuan plow is a new type of agricultural tool that can replace the Zhiyuan plow.

The next step is to continue to expand production.

Let Quyuanli cover all the important military areas belonging to Dongjun, and even the entire Yanzhou.

At that time, it is presumed that the production and development speed of Yanzhou agriculture, as well as the speed of grain output, will increase exponentially!

……

"Zhongde, I have entrusted you with this matter. Sure enough, I did not find the wrong person. In just over a month, you have ordered people to build ten finished products."

"These plow machines are also performing well today, and nothing major happened."

"I'll write down this merit for you first, and you continue to arrange manpower to build it. The more this thing is, the better. When the total merit is discussed in the future, you will definitely be on the top of the list!"

Listening to Cao Ang's praise.

Cheng Yu was naturally extremely humble.

He hurriedly responded: "The general is over-reputed, and the subordinates are at most a little bit of effort."

"The blueprints you gave me, the drawings and writings on them, can be described as extremely detailed, and my subordinates are just following the rules."

For these words.

Cao Ang just smiled lightly.

Then he put away his smile, pointed at Qu Yuanli who was still working there, lowered his voice slightly, and asked quite calmly.

"In the process of building this thing and using it, remember to strictly keep the secret and not leak it to the outside, even if the wall we surround cannot be airtight."

"But at least for the next few years, this thing will be ours alone."

As the person in charge of the whole process of participating in the organization and directing the production of Quyuanli, Cheng Yu naturally knew the power of this thing.

Also understand the importance of keeping a secret.

Therefore, Cao Ang's voice just fell.

Cheng Yu already had a serious expression on his face, his eyes were full of solemnity, and he cupped his hands and said.

"Don't worry, general, my subordinates understand the importance of it. When building this thing, my subordinates will split it into multiple parts, which will be built by people in several workshops. Craftsmen in different workshops must not touch each other."

"Assembling it is done by a group of carefully selected, honest and honest young men."

"As for the use process, this place is located in an important military camp. Although it is a military settlement, it is definitely not like an ordinary place where you can come and go at will."

"As the general said, if you want to hide it for a lifetime and keep it airtight, it is absolutely impossible, but if you want to hide it for five or eight years, it is not a problem!"

……

At the moment, I am observing in this military camp farm.

It's not just Cao Ang and Cheng Yu.

After the several ridges of the field were turned over, two men walked over quickly.

One of them was Cao Ang's younger brother Cao Shuo, and the other was Zao Zhi who was appointed to be in charge of farming.

The difference from Dingtao County before is that Cao Shuo at this moment is no longer the bamboo pole with fair skin and thin body.

The skin tone was visible to the naked eye by several degrees.

Even the body is also a lot stronger.

Although it still looks a little thin, compared to ordinary young and middle-aged people, it is not much worse.

"Brother!"

With the sound of the younger brother's respect.

After Cao Ang helped Cao Shuo up, he patted Cao Shuo vigorously on the arm, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, looking at your appearance, as a brother, I can tell that you must have been running around the fields a lot."

"Be down-to-earth, work hard, and do things seriously. Brother, you really see the right person, but you have to be a little bit more careful. If the sun is too strong and too poisonous, then go out with a little cover."

"The men of our Han Dynasty must not have too dark skin, otherwise they will inevitably fall behind."

The aesthetics of men in the Han Dynasty mainly had four major standards in terms of appearance.

Fair complexion does not refer to the sickly white, but the healthy white, which means that there is little work, and one comes from a wealthy family.

The second is that he is tall. Such a man looks mighty at first glance, so he is naturally likable.

Then there is the beard, hair and face. It does not mean that the thicker the eyebrows and beard, the longer the better, but that they must be carefully groomed to look soft and upright. This is also a symbol of a rich family and someone to serve.

The face is easy to understand, that is, there are no scars on the face, which means that there is no crime.

The last point is the loudness of the sound.

Speaking is full of air, and the words are full of confidence, which is definitely a great plus.

……

And after hearing Cao Ang's words.

Cao Shuo naturally understood what his brother meant.

But he wasn't worried about it, instead he said to Cao Ang with a little pride in his words.

"Brother, younger brother will naturally do what you ordered. I don't understand many things, so I can only come to this field to have a look."

"As for this skin color, it's just a little bit darker. Maybe there will be a time when I come back from whitening in the future."

"Besides, with you here, brother, everyone in the world knows that I am your younger brother, so what does it matter what your younger brother looks like?"

It sounded normal up front.

But in the end, this sudden flattery.

Suddenly, Cao Ang was stunned.

After a short breath, he couldn't help but let out a burst of hearty laughter. He was in a good mood, but now he became even happier.

"Well, Ah Shuo, I didn't expect you to go out and practice for a while. You haven't learned anything else yet, so you've picked up this boasted ability first."

After talking and laughing for a few words.

Cao Ang brought the topic back on track.

Slightly restraining his smile, he looked at Cao Shuo with some seriousness.

"A Shuo, have you made any progress during this time?"

……

Cao Ang didn't make his point too clear.

After all, currently only the two brothers know about the corn and wheat grain improvement technology, and other trusted subordinates only know a few words at most.

Cao Shuo was naturally aware of this.

The key information was also concealed, and he replied with a bit of ambiguity: "To tell you the truth, brother, I have studied it for a month or two, and I have a little understanding."

"Brother Zigong's all-out help and guidance on many farming matters have also benefited my younger brother a lot."

"Presumably, after a while, we will definitely be able to gain something, and there will be some small results."

Cao Shuo is a sincere person.

For things that I can't do, I won't pat my chest easily, showing that I can pinch with my hands.

Hence he says so now.

It means having certainty.

So Cao Ang nodded in satisfaction.

Then he turned his gaze to Zaozhi at the side, and gave him a slight smile.

"Zi Gong, Ah Shuo is still young, and he doesn't understand many things. You still need to pay more attention to teaching him!"

How can I dare to answer these words.

Shaking his head hastily, he waved his hands one after another and said: "The general is really serious. Mr. Shuo is sensitive and eager to learn, but his subordinates are just a few years older and have a little more experience. There is really no teaching!"

……

After a few people discussed a few more things.

Cao Ang looked at the sky.

Immediately prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Cheng Yu, Cao Shuo and the others were planning to stay Cao Ang down and return to Puyang County after eating in this military camp farm.

It's just that this proposal was rejected by Cao Ang.

Gein today is the last day of the one-month period that he had agreed with Cai Zhaoji.

He had to return to Puyang County before sunset and dark, and swipe a brush in front of Cai Yan, writing the poem that he had already memorized by heart.

If the time was delayed because of eating a meal, there is no guarantee that Cai Yan would not think that he was procrastinating, and it would be a bit dishonest.

At the moment, he is riding on the back of a red rabbit horse.

Cao Ang looked at the scenery that seemed to be receding from the left and right sides, and felt the slightly biting cold wind in autumn and winter on his face.

I couldn't help running my hands along the red rabbit's mane.

It has to be our red rabbit!
If there was not such a steed, then Cao Ang really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to cross the twenty-mile journey to reach Puyang County before dark.

"Young man, work hard!"

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will bring a few bloody mares from the Western Regions and other places, and I will bring them to you as companions, so that you can enjoy them too!"

Perhaps he understood Cao Ang's words.

After the Chituma snorted, its galloping speed in the wilderness became more and more rapid, as if flying through the clouds and riding the fog, driving thunder and lightning.

……

at the same time.

Puyang County, in the prefect's mansion.

Cai Yan was holding a volume of slips in his hand, studying the content carefully, stopping to think a few times from time to time, and then using a pen to write and draw on the blank bamboo slips, learning to be quite attentive.

It's just after reading the book in hand.

She looked up at the sky through the window, and saw that the sky had already darkened, and the sun was about to set to the west, and would soon fall below the horizon.

Can't help frowning slightly.

My heart felt a little more irritable for no reason.

Simply put the books away, pick up the brush and prepare to write a few words, so as to calm down your mind.

The result is the same as before.

After writing less than one column on the bamboo slips, some of them put down their brushes in a depressed mood.

Even with the last character in this column, the strokes are still crooked, which is totally different from her previous style.

What's wrong with me?
Cai Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that she shouldn't be so upset.

After all, if Cao Ang didn't arrive on time, it would be equivalent to breaking his promise and breaking the promise. The bet he made at the beginning, he would naturally become the winning party.

Although there will be no benefits after winning, at least you don't have to work hard, teach Cao Ang to learn poetry, and you can continue your quiet life.

Playing the piano, writing, and reading every day is a pleasure.

However this is only theoretical.

In fact, Cai Yan is irritable!

……

Like reading and writing.

This kind of thing that requires hard work and concentration can't be carried on.

Cai Yan simply set up the piano.

Then he plucked the strings with his fingertips, and a melodious and graceful tune was uploaded from the body of the piano.

Perhaps music does have the ability to calm people's minds. After playing for a while, Cai Yan gradually calmed down.

Just the end of the song.

Cai Yan watched the sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun was gradually covered by the eaves after all.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh in my heart.

Taking advantage of the effort of playing the piano just now, she actually already figured it out a little bit.

Ask yourself.

She still hoped that Cao Ang could come to her before the time passed, and then write a poem that made her admire.

Even if she loses the bet, Cai Yan needs to agree to any request of Cao Ang, but she still hopes that Cao Ang can present a result in front of her.

It's a very strange feeling.

I don't even know why I think so.

Is it just because I don't want to let down my hard teaching for a month?

Cai Yan felt that it should not be that simple.

……

"Zheng~"

Gently plucked the strings.

Cai Yan was about to pack up her things and got up to go back to the room.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard, and then I saw a young and handsome man with a familiar figure.

Appeared in front of my eyes as promised.

"Miss Zhaoji, I'm not late, am I?"
