After handling the follow-up to the external remarks, Chen Zhou was free again.
On weekdays, he taught Xun Qiao and Mi Zhen mathematics, and Liu Ling and the others occasionally came to listen to the lessons.
Time flies by very quickly, and there are only a few days until the New Year.
"gentlemen."
Xun Qiao happily trotted in and said with a bright red face: "Sir, your book is finally ready."
In her hand, she also held a latest book.
It was Chen Zhou and Xun Qiao who wrote the mathematics textbook, and they both signed it. This book was given to Cao Tai and others, and it was not easy to print.
Because many of the mathematical symbols and some letters above need to be re-prepared, which takes a long time.
With great difficulty, I printed it out before the New Year.
"Is this your husband's book?"
Cao Shan happily took it and after looking at it for a while, she found that she couldn't understand it.
The other ladies looked at the mathematics books, except for some relatively simple knowledge. Like Cao Shan, they looked confused.
"show me."
Chen Zhou heard Xun Qiao's voice coming from outside and came out expectantly.
He opened the mathematics book that Xun Qiao brought and read for a while. He closed the page with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Qiao'er did a great job. From now on, Qiao'er's name will be famous throughout the ages."
The role of mathematics is still very important.
Chen Zhou will make great efforts to preserve this mathematics book so that more people can study it. He is also preparing to open a mathematics course in the rebuilt Imperial College.
This is one of the six arts of a gentleman. If it is put on the table openly, no one will say anything.
"Sir's name is what will last forever."
Xun Qiao lifted the cover up to reveal their names.
Both of them signed at the same time.
However, Chen Zhou's name was even bigger. According to the vocabulary Xun Qiao learned from Chen Zhou, the word "Editor-in-Chief" was added to the end of his name to highlight his importance.
"That's okay."
Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Ying stepped forward and said, "Qiao'er doesn't have to work hard, and she's not afraid of working hard for her husband, right?"
Hearing this, Xun Qiao lowered his head shyly.
This sentence expresses her little thoughts.
Xun Qiao often came over and contacted Chen Zhou so frequently because she just wanted to be with Chen Zhou and had no other meaning.
Lu Lingqi said: "Qiao'er has finished studying mathematics, will he come to us again in the future?"
Hearing this, Xun Qiao also thought about this issue.
There won't be enough reason to come back later.
Her pretty red face was now a little pale, and she looked at Chen Zhou worriedly.
Chen Zhou said: "Qiao'er can come at any time if he wants. I don't have many rules here."
"Thank you sir."
Xun Qiao put all her worries behind her and smiled sweetly.
As long as the husband allows me to come, nothing else matters anymore, that's enough.
Chen Zhou read the mathematics book that Xun Qiao brought for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing else that needed to be modified, he went out to inspect the factory.
In fact, the factory has long been regulated. Cao Tai and the others are doing a good job, but there is nothing good to see. This time, Chen Zhou's main purpose is to care about the breeding farm.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Food is still very important.
Eating meat is a guarantee for a strong army, and it is also one of the important means to enhance the people's sense of belonging to Cao Wei.
Whether they can produce cheap meat depends on whether those piglets can grow up quickly.
When Cao Ang heard that Chen Zhou had arrived at the breeding farm, he also followed him and handed over the management of the factory to Cao Tai and Cao Fu.
"Sir, these pigs grow up very fast!"
Dian Wei saw that it was still a piglet before, but now it was much bigger. It was like a heavy pig, and the fat meat was so thick.
Before being discovered and joining the army, Dian Wei often went hunting in the mountains.
He also beat wild boars. According to his knowledge, ordinary wild boars cannot grow so fast in such a short period of time. Mr.’s pig broke the record.
"It grows really fast."
Chen Zhou was very satisfied. It seemed that after sterilizing them, they could really gain weight peacefully.
Pigs are also omnivores and will eat anything.
Even in modern society, some poor rural families still build toilets above pig pens so that people can use them above and the pigs can eat below.
It sounds disgusting.
But it also shows that pigs are really easy to raise.
It is much easier to raise than sheep and dogs, and it produces more meat.
"Pick the two biggest pigs and kill them for meat tomorrow."
Chen Zhou then said: "Young Master can go back and tell the lord to gather all of them in Fengxiao. I will treat them to meat. It would be best to eat it at Sikong Mansion, but I don't know if the lord will agree."
After coming to the Three Kingdoms for so long, Chen Zhou has never eaten pig-killing rice.
The New Year is approaching, so why not make a pig-killing rice meal to regain the atmosphere and feeling of the past? Maybe you can bring this habit back to the Three Kingdoms period and promote his pork at the same time.
Then bring the pig-raising technology to the people all over the world.
Everyone eats meat together.
Even if you can't have meat every meal, at least you can eat one or two meals occasionally. Only when your living conditions are better, your body will grow better, and people can be taller.
He also had a goal, which was to change the diet of ancient people.
"As long as my husband proposes it, my father will definitely agree. But are these porks really edible?" Cao Ang asked.
They all know how unpalatable pork is.
Although some people eat it, not many people eat it.
Chen Zhou said confidently: "Of course you can eat it. Master, just help me arrange it. Tomorrow, I will treat everyone to a meal. This is called... pig killing rice!"
This matter was quickly determined.
It is difficult to promote the development of pig breeding without letting them taste how delicious pork is.
"And one more thing."
Chen Zhou said: "I heard that in one place, there is a kind of rice whose yield per mu is more than double that of the rice we usually grow."
"More than double!"
Cao Ang exclaimed.
In their current field farming structure, in addition to growing wheat, millet, etc., they also grow rice.
However, the yield per acre of these crops, without the support of chemical fertilizers, is considered high yield if one acre of land can produce two or three dan.
If a crop with more than double the yield per mu than their current crops really existed, it would be a miracle and could change the Han Dynasty.
"Excuse me, sir, where is that place? I will ask someone to find those seeds right now!"
Of course Cao Ang understood how good it would be to them if grain production increased.
In ancient society, food was the top priority.
Agriculture is the foundation of a dynasty.
Without food, they are nothing.
Chen Zhou said: "This kind of rice has relatively high water requirements. It may not be suitable for planting in areas too far north, but it is acceptable in places such as northern Huainan, northern Jingzhou and so on."
Cao Ang thought quickly and said excitedly: "This is also very good! If the yield per mu is more than doubled, and we plant near the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the excess food produced will be enough for us to use as military food, and the remaining Leave those down and leave them for the people to use as food storage, this is a great good deed!"
There is such good rice, they must get it.
Cao Ang said again: "Sir, please tell me where that place is!"
Chen Zhou turned around, looked south, and said, "This place is far away from Xudu. It is in the south of Jiaozhou. The name of that place is Zhancheng."
