Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 38 Cao Heshu’s work level

To be honest, Yuan Shu... doesn't know anything about farming at all.

Yuan Shu himself was not interested in farming either——

Farming is a vulgar act. Only illiterate country folk can be so persistent and proficient in farming.

For example, Yuan Shu, the second son of the fourth generation and the third prince, is actually better at reciting poems and composing romances, rather than farming... He said "a little bit about one or two" was just a polite statement, but His Highness believed it. Got it!
Therefore, Yuan Shu was questioned by His Highness and felt at a loss for words.

Dumbly, Yuan Shu said: "Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I have to continue to register the information of the refugees... Please forgive Shu for taking the first step! Shu resigned!!"

After bowing his hands towards Liu Bian, Yuan Shu decisively turned around and left without waiting for Liu Bian to speak.

Walking is called a brisk walk.

Liu Bian was stunned for a while.

Blinking, he watched Yuan Shu go away, and couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you running? - I still want to chat with you to pass the time?"

At this moment, Yuan Shu has run away and Cao Cao is not here...then what should he do?
Is it possible to continue looking for mines?
Rolling his eyes, Liu Bian adhered to the principle of not wasting time and decided to look for the mine again.

Of course, before leaving, Liu Bian did not forget to tell everyone who was carrying the rice grain that when Chief Cao came back, they must remember to send someone to notify him, and he would definitely rush back as quickly as possible!

Just as Liu Bian set out to search for the mine for the second time, Cao Cao had already counted fifty cavalrymen and rushed straight to the destination-the grain store!
The middle-aged man who had just been cut off a wave of leeks had a bruised nose and swollen face. Suddenly, he heard the servants who were also bruised and swollen came to report: Cao Cao, who is comparable to a villain, is here again, and the middle-aged man suddenly saw it with his own eyes. Seeing Cao Cao really go and come back... The middle-aged man is not well.

Terrifyingly, no matter how luxurious the middle-aged man was, he could not hide the cold sweat on his head and the flash of fear and uneasiness in his eyes.Stuttering, the middle-aged man with a bruised nose and swollen face led the servants to kneel down and said:

"I dare to ask Mr. Cao if he has any important matters. I am willing to cooperate fully!"

How can the middle-aged man at this time be as cheerful as before?

Cao Cao was riding on horseback, but still did not dismount, and said condescendingly: "Are there any seeds like vegetables and rice?"

The middle-aged man said without hesitation: "Yes! Yes, yes!!"

Without waiting for Cao Cao to ask questions, the middle-aged man clapped his hands decisively and ordered the servants in the mansion to quickly get practical seeds such as vegetables and rice and wheat, and there was not just one bag, but dozens of bags, a full... 51 bags!
Cao Cao's face was as calm as water, but he still felt dissatisfied, and asked again: "Do you have any farm tools?"

"Yes, yes!" The middle-aged man nodded vigorously and asked the servants to bring in a large number of farm tools.

"How many cows are there?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Ten...ten heads!" the middle-aged man replied tremblingly, his heart bleeding: If he couldn't beat this guy, he wouldn't even think of taking advantage!
As is the old rule, the middle-aged man then sends his servants to bring in ten cows.

After seeing this, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, accepted the seeds, farm tools and cattle as a matter of course, whipped his horse and left.

No apology or thanks at all.

As for the middle-aged man who should exchange rice grain for seeds, farm tools and cattle? ——Heh~ It doesn’t exist!
Rumbling horseshoes, Cao Cao and others rushed back to the Bohai King's mansion, first put a large number of agricultural tools into the warehouse, then led ten cows to the grass outside the mansion, and then transported the seeds to Yuan Shu's place one by one. This stunned Yuan Shu and the refugees who were registering!

In a hurry, Cao Cao sent someone to inform His Highness, asking His Highness to return as soon as possible.

In less than a moment, His Highness arrived.

...After sighing, Liu Bian didn't expect it at all: Cao Cao is worthy of being Cao Cao, and his work efficiency is really top-notch!
Only a short time later, he and the five guards were chased back before they reached the foot of a mountain.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the long queue of refugees and the bags piled up like a mountain in the corner... Are those bags filled with seeds? !

This, so many? !
Liu Bian was surprised and happy, and suddenly he remembered the incident about rice and grain... Involuntarily, he looked at Cao Cao and asked with fear:
"Are these bags...?"

"Your Majesty, these bags contain seeds such as wheat, rice, vegetables, etc., which can be sown in the fields." Cao Cao replied respectfully while maintaining a bowing posture.

As soon as he said the two sentences "seeds of wheat, rice and vegetables" and "can be sown in the fields", everyone present except Yuan Shu looked happy.

When everyone looked at those bags again, their eyes shone, as if they were seeing some rare treasure.

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian wanted to ask how these seeds were obtained, but he was worried that Cao Cao would say something inappropriate... Therefore, he stopped asking any more questions, but faced a group of refugees and said loudly :

"Everyone! As you can see, those are seeds that can be sown in the fields and will grow into rice, wheat, fruits and vegetables, which are our most important food! Now, I hereby declare: As long as you are willing to live in Bohai County for a long time, these seeds It will be distributed to you free of charge! After you plant it, you can hand over [-]% during the harvest season, and the rest can be yours..."

"Two percent?!" The refugees gasped and looked at Liu Bian in disbelief.

Liu Bian solemnly promised: "Yes, it's [-]%! There will definitely be no other miscellaneous taxes!!"

After hearing this, all the refugees were so excited that they could not control themselves and shouted in unison: "The prefect is wise! The prefect is wise!..."

The refugees even knelt down and bowed down to him!Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, please get up quickly!"

The refugees still saluted and did not want to get up, as if this was the only way to express their inner feelings.

He was funny and distressed at the same time, and he said: "Everyone, get up, you don't want the seeds anymore? - Register now!"

As a result, the refugees stood up one after another and urged Yuan Yuan to speed up the delivery of wine and what to do if it delayed everyone's farming.

——The urging made Yuan Shu feel depressed: Yuan Shu was the only one to register, how could he do it so quickly?

"Do you need my help?" Liu Bian volunteered.

Cao Cao didn't even raise his eyelids and immediately said: "Your Highness, please let Cao do it!"

After saying that, Cao Cao sat down next to Yuan Shu and took some cloth and pen and ink. He also waved to a refugee, gesturing for him to come forward...

As a result, the long team was divided into two groups, each handled by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

He was fortunate enough to observe the level of work of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu: Yuan Shu only registered one refugee, and Cao Cao registered three refugees... The stark and tragic contrast almost made Yuan Shu break his brush!

However, due to the addition of Cao Cao, the registration task was more than twice as fast.

By evening, all the more than 6000 refugees had been registered!

At this moment, Yuan Shu's arm was so sore again that he couldn't lift it.

Cao Cao was calm and normal.

"Prefect, when will you send us the seeds?"

At this time, there were several refugees who refused to leave, staring at the small mountain of bags.

Liu Bian said: "Have you not received the land yet?"

The other party scratched his head and said, "As long as there are seeds, I will cultivate a new field."

"Me too!" the refugees shouted one after another.

Liu Bian thought for a moment, but without being pretentious, he immediately ordered people to distribute the seeds to the refugees, and said: "There is no need to worry about reclaiming new fields. You can find them on your own after dawn? - Don't worry! As long as it is The prefect will allow all unoccupied places, but the address must be registered."

The refugees carried the seeds in their pockets and said happily: "Just listen to the prefect, just listen to the prefect."

Afterwards, the refugees dispersed slowly.

The scene was finally quiet.

Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shu and said, "It's very late. Are you hungry?"

"Hungry!" Cao Cao said honestly.

Yuan Shu said cautiously: "Your Highness has been busy all day, and it seems that he has not eaten?"

"Then let's go together?" He invited.

Then, Liu Bian, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu went to the open-air canteen to eat together.

Today's dinner is really different: there is no rice porridge!

Change it to steaming rice!
Spread with refreshing wild vegetables, accompanied by several pieces of grilled meat!

Beautiful~
With eyes crooked, he was half full.

Interestingly, he heard someone say:

"I got the seeds, which is perfect for farming! I know there is a good piece of land a mile away, which is perfect for growing vegetables!"

"What's wrong? You don't sleep at night either?"

"Aren't you too?"

"Ha~ It seems that we are all the same! Planting vegetables at night, I'm afraid that others will get ahead of me..."
