Come to the suburbs.
No one else has arrived yet.
Chen Zhou and Cao Ang were the first to arrive, but on the bank of the tributary of the Jishui River, several greenhouses had been built to block the sun, and other things were also arranged. It was obviously arranged by Dong Cheng's people.
If this situation develops for a few more decades, it will become a banquet along the river with drinking water flowing through the meandering water.
Now there are some embryonic forms of Wei and Jin styles.
In contrast to the feast on their side, there were other farmlands near the tributaries.
When the snow melts, it forms snow water, which moistens the fields.
Some villages that still had cattle began to use cattle to plow the fields in turns. Those without cattle took up farm tools and turned the soil. It was easier to turn the soil while the soil was still moist. When it was time to plow in the spring, it rained and the soil was loosened. Once the soil is touched, it can be cultivated and cultivated.
The ministers and nobles feasted happily.
The poor people face the soil with their backs to the sky.
The gap between the rich and the poor in the Han Dynasty is getting wider and wider, and the classes are becoming more and more distinct. The gentry is exploiting the peasants, and it is difficult not to enter troubled times. The Taiping Road echoes this, borrowing the power of the peasants.
"They work really hard."
Xia Houyue looked at the farmland and said with some distress.
"That's the difference in social class."
Chen Zhou was unable to close this gap. Even in modern society more than a thousand years later, he dare not say that he can definitely achieve it.
All I can say is to ease it as much as possible.
"A small number of nobles occupy a large amount of resources."
"Such a large number of ordinary people are dividing up the remaining few resources. This is probably what we are seeing."
“The fields farmers cultivate are not necessarily their own.”
"Perhaps they rented it back from the nobles for a high rent, just so they could have a full meal. The atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not faded, and they have begun to work hard for this year's livelihood."
Chen Zhou said with emotion.
He is not a great man and cannot change this social status quo. He can only sigh with emotion.
"Sir, he said that the dynasty will last for three hundred years."
"The Han Dynasty has been in power for more than three hundred years, and the conflicts have become more and more acute. It may be that his strength has finally been exhausted."
Cao Ang's words were very bold.
Fortunately, he was surrounded by his own people and those ministers hadn't arrived yet, otherwise he would definitely have been criticized.
"The master sent people to the farmland and asked the farmers to bring back some farm tools and a plow. Then he asked them who can do the craftsman's work. I will modify it for them to make farming more convenient."
After Chen Zhou said this, he began to think about the Quyuanli, which is a must-have for time travellers.
As a qualified time-traveler, he is not exempt from the mundane rules now.
Cao Ang sent people to the fields. After a while, several farmers came over carrying plows and farm tools.
Those farmers knew that the eldest son of the Cao family wanted something, so they delivered it directly without saying anything.
After all, last year, almost the whole year, they survived with Cao Cao's help.
If Cao Cao hadn't sent food, I don't know how many people would have starved to death.
Most of the people know how to be grateful. They know who is good to them, and they will be good to them. In summary, this is the people's heart.
Cao Cao won the hearts of the people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
"Are there any craftsmen among you?"
Chen Zhou asked.
A farmer immediately said: "I...I am, sir, what are your orders?"
Chen Zhou said: "You follow my instructions, dismantle your plow, and make some changes here..."
Under his guidance, the craftsmen did not care if the modified plow tube did not work, so they started to work directly. They transformed the curved shaft plow on the basis of the straight shaft plow. As long as someone gives guidance, wouldn't it be great? The skills of the craftsmen are not bad, and the use of The transformation was completed in less than an hour.
At this time, only a few people came here and there.
Some young talents also came.
The rest cannot be seen.
They wanted to have a feast by the water, but they were still late. Chen Zhou shook his head helplessly.
"Sir, does this work?"
Cao Ang looked at the modified Quyuan plow. It was light and seemed useless.
"Whether it works or not, you will know after you give it a try."
Chen Zhou handed it to the craftsman and said: "Assign someone to try it. Only one cow can pull this plow. In addition, you can go back and modify the farm tools according to my request just now. The farming effect will be better. And what I said You can try the waterwheel when you go back, it will be more convenient to divert water for irrigation in the future."
"Thank you sir."
The craftsman didn't know if it would work, but seeing that Chen Zhou was confident, he took it back and gave it a try.
After sending the craftsmen away, Chen Zhou laid out the things he had prepared on the shore.
The main thing we went out to do today was barbecue.
Those meat skewers were all skewered by my servants last night.
BBQ grills and other items soon appeared on the shore.
They didn't care about the banquet by the water with the ministers and nobles, and were preparing to enjoy themselves. When they were about to start barbecue, a group of farmers came from the side.
"That's the gentleman."
The craftsman just now said excitedly: "It's this gentleman who taught us the more useful plow."
"Thank you sir!"
The farmers don't know much about etiquette, but now in order to thank Chen Zhou, they bow and salute as much as possible.
Chen Zhou stood up and said, "You're welcome. My plow is called a Quyuan plow, and I also teach you the farm tools. You should pass them on as soon as possible, which will help farm work."
"Thank you sir."
The farmers chanted again.
Cao Ang and Cao Shan were stunned, thinking, does that simple plow really work?
The farmers left quickly.
However, the situation here still attracted the attention of others.
"Sir."
One of the teenagers, leading a teenage girl and several followers, came over and bowed to Cao Ang first. Then his eyes fell on Chen Zhou and he bowed in the same way: "This must be Du. Mr. Zhi?"
"it's me!"
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "May I ask what you call the young master?"
Cao Ang introduced: "Sir, this is Xun Ji, whose courtesy name is Changfeng. He is the eldest son of Mr. Gongda."
It turned out that he was Xun You's son. He was handsome and elegant. He not only had Xun You's style, but also Xun Yu's elegance. The Xun family did quite well in education, and the younger generation performed extremely well.
Then we will be one of our own with them.
"Changfeng, please sit down."
Chen Zhou invited.
Xun Ji was not polite. He sat on the pony made by Chen Zhou and asked curiously: "What happened just now?"
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "I modified the farm tools for them. They found it useful and came to thank me."
After a brief explanation, they went straight to the barbecue.
"Who is this lady?"
Chen Zhou glanced at the girl next to him.
"Husband."
"Qiao'er is Mr. Wen Ruo's eldest daughter."
Cao Shan knew the girl well and introduced her to Chen Zhou first.
Xunqiao?
Xun Yu’s eldest daughter?
Chen Zhou was thinking, could it be the Xun family who married Chen Qun?
It looks like it.
Xun Yu was only in his thirties at this time, and Xun Qiao looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. People in ancient times got married really early!
Cao Ang and Xun Ji were probably the representatives sent by Cao Cao. As for the others, they didn't have the leisure and elegance to socialize.
