Cao Pi was in Shanggu and didn't stay long.

Youzhou Jizhou, everything that should be seen has been seen, and Shanggu County is even better than other places.

Cao Pi soon got the information he wanted, and then rode back to Xinye.

When he returned, it took less time than when he went, and he traveled day and night, spending most of the day on the road.

If he wants to rush back to Xinye as soon as possible, he will tell his father all the news he has found and what he saw on the road.

Cao Pi believes that he has found the reason for his failure.

More than a month later, Cao Pi returned safely to Xinye.

told Cao Cao everything he saw and heard along the way, as well as Xun Yu Cheng Yu and other strategists.

It's just that Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others have heard of these things for a long time.

Jizhou Youzhou, Cao Cao has a lot of spies, even if he retreats to Xinye now, Cao Cao has not given up Jizhou's spies.

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, what those spies depict is similar to what Cao Pi saw.

Cao Cao had heard these words many times.

He also knows the gap between himself and Zhao Hui, but if he wants to catch up and surpass, it is not easy to talk about it.

Those families will not agree.

is an academy, Cao Cao has also been preparing for many years, but before, it still failed to be held in Xudu.

It's not just the money, it's the teachers, and the resistance of the families.

Zhao Hui originally held an academy in Youzhou and Jizhou, but he also encountered resistance from those families.

If it weren't for him in Shanggu and Heifeng Village, he would have cultivated some talents by himself, and the academy opened at that time would not have been able to hire a single teacher.

Those so-called celebrities and gentlemen do not bother to teach these ordinary sons of the common people at all.

These ordinary children, in their eyes, look like elm heads, even if they are taught, they can't learn it.

Moreover, if the Maison wants to stop it, there are many ways.

Even if the academy invites a teacher, the people of the family can easily poach it, whether it is a promise of money or an official position, few people can refuse.

After all, teaching hundreds of students in the academy earns a little more money than ordinary people, and wherever there is a pleasure to join the family, you can have whatever you want.

Moreover, in fact, many people are originally from the family, even if they are not descendants, they are inextricably linked to the family.

The so-called cold door is very rare.

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to be like Zhao Hui, but it's difficult for him to do it.

Cao Cao also saw the tumor of the family, but the suppression of the family was still not as good as Zhao Hui.

Sixteen-year-old Cao Pi, although he can see the difference between Yanzhou and Jizhou, he still doesn't know the difficulty.

Although what Cao Pi said was what Cao Cao already knew, as a father, Cao Cao was still very satisfied with the results that Cao Pi observed along the way.

In the past, in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Cao Cao was difficult to implement, but now in Xinye, he can really give it a try.

It is rare for Cao Pi to have this heart, and Cao Cao does not want to suppress Cao Pi's emotions.

Xinye is just a county town with a population of more than 100,000, and it is not the territory of a family.

The Jingzhou family is concentrated in Xiangyang.

No one will look down on the broken ground of Xinye.

Cao Pi, who returned to Xinye, began to take people to use chemical fertilizers around Xinye.

Cao Cao's decision to make fertilizer first was correct, and when Cao Pi returned from Shanggu County, the fertilizer had just fermented and was ready to be put into use.

Liu Bei, who is in Xiangyang, is also promoting chemical fertilizers. 14

Sun Ce from Yangzhou is now almost healed from his injuries and can go out and walk normally.

He was also in the field, watching the people, and pouring the fertilizer into the field one by one.

Even in Jiaozhou, some people are now starting to make fertilizers.

However, compared with the Central Plains, people here have a more shallow concept of chemical fertilizers, and many people don't care even if they know about it.

Their food has always been sufficient.

The people who live very hard in Jiaozhou are all those hard laborers, who work day and night, have little time to rest, and can't eat much, at most, they don't starve to death.

The ordinary people who fought each other had a more comfortable life than the people of the Central Plains.

Moreover, the rice planted can be harvested twice a year.

Some people have too much food in their homes to eat.

Every time Wei Shuang took a caravan, he could buy a lot of grain at a very low price.

Because he had traded a batch of swords and armor to Shixie before, Wei Shuang is now doing business in Jiaozhou, and basically no one has come to stop him.

However, a large transaction was still made with Shi Xie.

Shixie is the emperor of Jiaozhou, and the total population of Jiaozhou is hundreds of thousands.

Everywhere there are barren mountains and mountains.

Even if Wei Shuang wanted to trade with ordinary people, he couldn't trade much.

The whole of Dahan, now Yizhou and Liangzhou, has not yet appeared in chemical fertilizers.

But by next year, there should be people in both states using fertilizers.

Even if the people in Jiaozhou are not hungry, they can produce a little food, and they can make their families richer and live a better life.

The entire Great Han, although it is still divided among the princes, is becoming stronger and stronger.

If you want to be strong, in addition to having a strong army, the strength of the people is equally important.

Only when the people are getting richer and richer can they feed more and more powerful armies, and only then can the soldiers have hard armor and sharp knives and guns.

Zhao Hui's life is now very free.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Jia Xu and others have returned to Yecheng.

On the side of Xu Du, some ministers also sent their families to Yecheng.

Fu Wan's eldest son, who is also Fu Shou's elder brother Fu De, came to Yecheng with Guo Jia and Zhao Hui this time to serve as the chief historian of General Zhao Hui's mansion.

Although Zhao Hui did not ask for it, it was proposed by Fu Wan. In order to make Zhao Hui feel relieved.

Fu Wan is still an auxiliary general, but he is also Fu Shou's father and the grandfather of the current emperor.

Zhao Hui was not in Xudu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others also left, and the power of Xudu could be said to have fallen into the hands of Fu Wan.

It's just that Zhao Hui, who has gunpowder, now has an unprecedented confidence in his heart.

He was not afraid at all that he would suddenly turn back after lying down.

For the time being, the manufacture of gunpowder was still completed in the Yellow Turban Village, and then packed into boxes and transported to Jizhou.

Zhao Hui set up a new artillery barracks outside Yecheng, and the gunpowder sent was hoarded here.

Although they are all packed in sealed clay pots, they will not explode normally, but if they are sent to the city, they are still a little too dangerous.

If an accident happens, the people of the city will suffer heavy casualties.

Zhao Hui asked Zhang Wang to personally take charge of the artillery battalion, which currently has only a thousand people.

Every day is just a normal exercise, even the brothers of the artillery battalion, and few people know what the boxes in the warehouse are.
