Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

The words were like thunder, causing Cao Cao to fall into contemplation.

"He really has insight into Qiuhao, and sees my real weakness clearly."

Cao Cao secretly praised, and looked at Su Yi with admiration.

"However, the land in the Central Plains is fertile. As long as there is no war, the refugees are reconvened and the wasteland is reclaimed, and the prosperity of the past will be restored sooner or later."

"It's just that Yuan Shao's unification of Hebei is imminent, and he will send troops to the south when he is introduced, but he will not give Cao Mengde enough time to recuperate."

"So, Cao Cao must solve the problem of shortage of food and grass in the shortest possible time, and the only way to implement the farm is to implement."

Su Yi hit the nail on the head and exposed Cao Cao's helplessness.

These words made Cao Cao sweat.

"This son's ingenuity is really terrifying. Fortunately, he was discovered by me. If it is unfortunate for other princes to gain, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Cao Cao secretly rejoiced.

After calming down a little, Cao Cao nodded slightly: "My nephew is right, but what does Cao Sikong's implementation of the farmland have to do with what you said about making a fortune?"

"Shibo, you are also a shrewd person, can't you figure this out?"

Su Yi smiled, with a hint of irony in his words.

"Stinky boy, you're making fun of me..."

Cao Cao murmured in his heart, but he could only pretend to laugh at himself: "I made my nephew laugh, and I asked my nephew to speak clearly."

Su Yi took it easy and poured himself another glass of wine.

"The court wanted to settle the fields, so naturally they had to gather the refugees and give them land, so that they could cultivate, and the government would then share it with them."

"The land official has some, but if you want to cultivate, you need not only land, but also a lot of cattle and farm tools."

"These things are definitely not available to refugees, and can only be rationed by the government."

Having said this, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he had understood Su Yi's intention.

He then replied: "My nephew, I understand, what kind of curved plow is your farm tool, do you want to borrow my way and sell your plow to the government?"

"Shibo finally understands."

Su Yi let out a long sigh, and quickly took a few sips of wine to moisten his throat.

But Cao Cao said: "It can't be done overnight. Although the court needs a plow, it is not urgent. It can be built calmly, so why buy your plow."

Su Yi smiled, but looked at Zhou Tai: "Youping, go take a sample from our house and show it to Shibo."

Zhou Tai ordered to go on.

Not long after, several domestic servants moved a complete set of curved ploughs into the yard.

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he came from a scholar's family, but since becoming the lord, he also went down to the ground himself to show his importance to Nongsang.

Naturally, he had also seen the plow that ploughed the land.

The plough in front of me is quite different from the plough in my impression.

"Nephew, your plow is a little different, isn't it?"

Cao Cao turned around the plow, his eyes full of novelty.

"Most of the ploughs used by the common people are coupled ploughs. My plough is called a curved plough."

"Coupling plow farming requires three small and two cattle, and it takes one day to plough out one mu of dry land. The efficiency is extremely unbearable."

"My curved plough is different. I can plough three acres of land in one day, and only need one inch and one ox."

Su Yi took a sip of wine and explained the beauty of Quyuanli.

Cao Cao's figure froze, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Even though Dian Wei was behind him, he couldn't help being surprised.

Three acres a day!

Only one person and one cow are needed!

Cao Cao pointed out that the efficiency of Su Yi's plow was five times that of an ordinary plow.

"If this plow is really so miraculous, then if I call [-] people in the fields, doesn't it mean that I have called [-]!"

Cao Cao calculated in his heart, and his eyes became more and more excited.

However, he suppressed the surprise, and said half-believingly, "Nephew, is your Quyuanli really that powerful?"

Su Yi pointed at the sample: "If Shibo doesn't believe it, take this plough back and try it on your Yang family's field."

Cao Cao's eyes flickered, but he still couldn't see the way out.

As the protagonist, even when he went to the ground, he was just pretending, but in fact, he was not familiar with how to use farm implements.

Dian Wei behind him is different.

Dian Wei was born in humble beginnings and grew up farming in the countryside. Apart from his martial arts skills, he was also a good farmer.
