Liu Chang decided to go and see the progress of the land reclamation in person. He took Zhang Fei, Wang He and a team of guards out of the city to the land reclamation area.

Liu Chang looked at the working crowd and the lush fields, and said to Zhang Fei and Wang He with emotion: "When we see such a scene, we will definitely not be short of food this year. Sufficient food is the basis for development."

Wang He echoed: "Brother Liu said very well. As long as we have enough food, we can gather more people."

Liu Chang nodded in agreement, and then noticed that these people were using a farm tool they didn't know and asked Wang He after working: "What are they using? It doesn't look very useful."

Wang He said to Liu Chang: "This is a couple plow. Brother Liu naturally doesn't know the land that he hasn't planted before. It's already a very useful tool."

Liu Chang looked at this thing and felt that it seemed different from the ancient farm tools he reflected. He suddenly remembered that what he remembered was the curved plow invented in the Tang Dynasty. So he said to Wang He: "I know that a new type of farm tools will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of arable land."

After hearing Liu Chang say this, Zhang Fei said in surprise: "I really didn't expect my elder brother to farm."

Liu Chang was afraid of Zhang Fei and said, "Don't cause trouble." He said to Wang He, "When I go back, I will arrange for the craftsmen to make one and try it out first. If it is easy to use, we will make more new farm tools to replace the coupler's plow."

Wang He thought for a while and said, "Brother Liu is already very thoughtful. If it can really increase the efficiency of arable land, it will be easier for us to open up land."

Liu Chang told Wang He: "Remember this matter and remember to remind me when you go back."

Wang He said affirmatively: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will remind you after I go back."

In a recently built camp.

A man who was not old, holding an empty bowl and said to a middle-aged man with a dull expression: "Old Zhao, I think you are bragging. How could General Liu know you? You are a chef who cooks here." As he said that, he put the bowl in front of Zhao Wang and said: "Give me some more soup."

Zhao Wang was still stirring the pot in his hand, and refused him with a smile, "This is not possible. Many people have not eaten yet. I have known them very early. Zhao Xin and Zhao Dike are both from the same village."

The man licked the bowl and muttered, "You are just too stingy. No wonder they have become high-ranking officials. You are still cooking for us here."

"Yu Gu, why are you back so early today? Don't be lazy again, Lord Wang and Lord said that the more you cultivate, the more you give to you. Now you can reclaim more wasteland, and then you won't be hungry."

Guan Gu said to Zhao Wang: "What's the point of farming all day long? Don't you know those high-ranking officials? Let me introduce it to me. Let me be a personal guard too."

Zhao Wang said with some confusion: "Since you want to be a personal guard, why didn't you go when recruiting soldiers before? Besides, if I have a way, I can cook for you all the time?"

Guan Gu complained: "I went there before, and they said I was a traitor and didn't want me."

After Wang He led Liu Chang into the camp, most of the people were working outside the camp at this time. Wang He said to Liu Chang: "We divided the previous prisoners and refugees who came to join us into different areas to open up land and farm. They were all scattered around Dingzhou. This is the closest camp to Dingzhou City. Most of the fields near the city are owned, and the vacant places can be vacant because the Yellow Turban bandits came before and all the people in this village were taken away. So we occupied the place and arranged some people."

"Well, only these newly renovated land are our own. However, as the magistrate of Zhongshan County, I naturally have to collect taxes on those large tracts of land. It should be the land of the big households in the city, right?"

"Brother Liu is right. Most of the surrounding land belongs to the wealthy families in the city."

"Well, if that's the case, I'll know."

Several people walked forward again and arrived at the place where they were cooking. Liu Chang saw that the person who was cooking looked familiar, and thought to Wang He and asked: ""

"He is Zhao Wang, the first person to cook with us."

Liu Chang thought about it and said, "It's that timid person. He looks a little fatter than before."

Wang He greeted Zhao Wang and said, "Old Zhao, how are you doing recently?"

When Guan Gu saw that Wang He actually knew Zhao Wang, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

After seeing the visitor, Zhao Wang knelt down and said to Liu Chang, "I have met General Liu." Guan Gu also quickly knelt down.

Liu Chang tried to say to them in a kind manner: "Don't be too reserved, get up quickly and cook for those who go out to work, don't affect their meals. I'll just take a look."

Zhao Wang and Guan Gu hurriedly went to clean up the food.

In the evening, Liu Chang sat in the camp here and watched the farmers who went out to clear the land come back to have dinner. Liu Chang felt that he was so prosperous at this time. At this time, Zhao Xin rushed over. He walked to Liu Chang and said softly, "Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, sent someone to see the young master. Do you want to see him? I have arranged for him to rest in the city first."

Liu Chang stood up and said, "Then go and see what Guo Dian sent someone to find me."

So Liu Chang and his men rushed back to the city overnight. After Zhao Xin brought Liu Chang into a guest room, he saw a young man sitting at the table waiting for something anxiously. He heard the sound of opening the door and turned around and looked over. After seeing Zhao Xin leading a man of temperament and majesticity in, he hurriedly walked up to salute Liu Chang and said, "Gourmet to General Liu."

Seeing him like this, Liu Chang helped him up and said kindly: "Get up first, what's wrong with Taishou Guo sending you here?"

The young man said, "Report to General Liu, Prefect Guo sent me here to send an invitation to General Liu to jointly wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits besieged in Quyang."

After hearing this, Liu Chang thought for a while and said, "If you have such a plan, then we should not be in a hurry. Go back and tell Grandpa Guo first that General Dong will come north to attack Zhang Bao from Quyang soon. I have already discussed with General Dong. When he comes up, he will send someone to contact me. Then we will take three points together to wipe out all the Yellow Turban bandits entrenched in Quyang."

After learning the news, this person quickly said, "There is such a thing. I need to go back overnight to inform Grandpa Guo about this. If there is anything wrong with me, I hope General Liu will not blame him."

Liu Chang said kindly to him: "It's okay, we are all doing national affairs. Now it's a matter of trouble, so we should put official affairs first."

"Since General Liu said so, I will say goodbye first." After that, he stood up and left the house.

Liu Chang said to Zhao Xin, "Go and help me deliver him." So Zhao Xin also walked out.
