Chapter 134 I’ll take you to farm and make a fortune
"And such a witch, how could you let her leave!"
Cao Cao deeply agreed with this statement.
"How to force her?"
Cao Cao said with twinkling eyes.
"She seems to care about the lives of those Qingzhou soldiers. She will definitely plead with the lord to let those people go. As long as the lord shows that he doesn't care about the Qingzhou soldiers and shows that he wants to kill those Qingzhou soldiers, then he will put forward conditions.
She will definitely agree."
After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Cao Cao thought of something and showed a smile.
With such a beautiful appearance, this holy girl might as well be given to the military advisor as a concubine. In this way, the holy girl will soon be retained and the Qingzhou Army can be recruited to surrender!
So, Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, leave the military advisor to me."
Zhao Feng also nodded slightly and said: "In this case, Feng will leave first."
Then Cao Cao came to the room alone and saw Zhang Ning sitting there calmly.
However, Cao Cao paid no attention to it and said with a faint smile: "Zhang Ning, you should know that I have 200,000 Qingzhou Army prisoners under my command, right?"
As for Zhang Ning, Cao Cao even called him by his first name without any courtesy in his words.
"As long as you surrender my 400,000-strong Qingzhou Army, I will let you leave on your own."
Zhang Ning looked at Cao Cao with a smile, without any sign of compromise: "Dong Cao has so many elite soldiers, do you still care about the old, weak, sick and disabled in our Qingzhou Army?"
"It's better to just let them go."
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed.
"Okay, very good, it makes sense. Since I can't use it, then no one else can use it, so I'll kill them all."
As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Ning's calm expression suddenly changed.
"No!"
Seeing Zhang Ning's performance at this time, it was exactly as Zhao Feng expected, and Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"Oh? What do you think?"
Zhang Ning's delicate face showed a trace of prayer and said: "As long as Mr. Cao can treat those Qingzhou troops well, I am willing to personally recruit and surrender those Qingzhou troops!"
Cao Cao showed a smile but said nothing, while Zhang Ning showed a trace of hesitation, bit his lip and continued: "As long as Duke Cao agrees, I am willing to marry Duke Cao's eldest son!"
“It’s a deal!”
Cao Cao immediately spoke.
And isn’t the eldest son none other than Zhao Feng?
Now he already knew Zhao Feng's identity.
Cao Cao then reported the matter to Zhao Feng. When Zhao Feng learned that Zhang Ning was going to marry him, he was stunned for a moment.
However, he always accepts beautiful women without fail and naturally does not reject them, so he has another fiancée.
At the same time, with the assistance of Zhang Ning, 200,000 Qingzhou troops were recruited and surrendered. At the same time, more Qingzhou troops came, with a total of about 600,000 surrendered.
And Zhao Feng will naturally not live up to Zhang Ning's conditions and treat the Qingzhou Army well.
Among the millions of Qingzhou troops, 100,000 elites were selected for training, and they were also called Qingzhou troops.
As for those Qingzhou troops who were not recruited as soldiers, they concentrated on agricultural production and served as rear supplies.
Zhao Feng specially ordered people to reclaim wasteland for him, vigorously developed the farming system in Qingzhou, and gave him oxen, plows and other agricultural tools.
And they will be provided with food before the crops they cultivate are harvested.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
The conditions offered by Zhao Feng were much better than what she had in mind. They were able to provide so many things, which Zhang Ning could not have imagined.
Zhao Feng was not at all worried about feeding those 600,000 people and started harvesting immediately.
The granaries around Chenliu Yingchuan are probably going to be out of stock.
Zhao Feng showed a smile. With Yuan Shao's hand, not only did he capture all of Qingzhou, but the 100,000 Qingzhou troops could also become elites after training.
At the same time, all the hundreds of thousands of iron tools seized during the battle were sent to Chenliu Steelworks to be recast into weapons and armor.
As a result, all the 200,000 elites in Yanzhou and Qingzhou are wearing armor!
Just after the Qingzhou Army was integrated, a great harvest ushered in. Chenliu and the surrounding areas of Yingchuan were the main areas for grain harvest.
At this moment, around Xuchang, all you can see are golden waves of wheat. Countless people are harvesting grain. Due to the improvement of the farming system, countless people have migrated towards the territory under Cao Cao's command.
At the same time, it has taken in countless refugees. The surrounding areas of Yingchuan are endless golden fields with no end in sight!
Not only was it the farming system, but also the emergence of the Quyuan plow, which led to a rapid increase in the speed of people's farming.
"My lord, how much do you think we can harvest this time?"
At this time, Zhao Feng and Cao Cao were walking on the ridge of the fields, inspecting the people's farming conditions.
Cao Cao squinted at the endless fields and said, "The granaries in these two states are completely filled!"
He has greatly overestimated the grain harvest this time.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly: "Let me guess, the granaries in the two states and ten counties are not only full, but there is still a lot of food left!"
"When the time comes, when the farming system in Qingzhou is completely perfected and the surrounding population is attracted, Qingzhou will no longer need us to provide food."
Seeing Zhao Feng's guess, Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the military advisor would be even more powerful than himself and even build several more granaries.
The two of them walked and chatted, and Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little interested when he saw the smiling people on their faces.
Zhao Feng naturally understood what Cao Cao meant, and went to ask: "I wonder how my harvest will be this year?"
The farmer smiled and said, "Haha, what a great harvest! It's all thanks to Mr. Cao's virtuous nature, kindness to the people, and caring for the people."
"Not only did we send soldiers to help us dig ditches with great effort, but they also gave us cattle as gifts. Even the land was cultivated by the soldiers for me."
The more the farmer talked, the more excited he became, showing his big white teeth.
"If you were farming, you would know it, but you don't understand it even if I tell you about it."
Cao Cao and Zhao Feng looked at each other and understood everything. Then Zhao Feng continued to ask: "There is also this Quyuanli, what do you think?"
Originally, it was nothing, but when he mentioned the Quyuan plow, the farmer instantly showed a proud look.
"Haha, I don't think you two know anything. You must be from out of town, right?"
Zhao Feng nodded.
The farmer's eyes brightened even more and he said: "You must know that this curved shaft plow is the exclusive farm tool of our Duke Cao. Foreigners, if you want it, don't have it yet."
The farmer became even more proud.
"The original straight-shaft plow we used was not flexible enough to turn when plowing, and it took a lot of effort to lift the soil. In many places, we even had to plow several times."
"And this curved-column plow can not only control the depth of the cultivated land, but can even break the soil. The person who invented this curved-column plow is probably the living Saint Kong!"
"After using this curved shaft plow, I can cultivate several acres more land than before, and the harvest is several times greater than before."
Seeing this farmer talking happily, other farmers came over to join in the fun.
Countless people are full of praise for Naqu Yuanli.
"I never thought that my harvest this year would be so good. If this continues, I will be able to eat meat!"
"Stop talking, foreigner, come to our place and I will help you farm!"
"Have you seen this endless cultivated land? I will help you farm and make a fortune!"
