Liu Chuang didn't expect Zheng Xuan to suddenly ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Zheng Xuan whispered: "If Lu Bu cannot be relied on and Meng Yan joins him, it will actually do more harm than good. I'm afraid Cao Cao won't let you go easily."

"Actually, even if I don't form an alliance with Lu Bu, Cao Cao may not let me go."

Liu Chuang smiled bitterly and said to Zheng Xuan.

Since his life experience was proven and the confirmation of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, to a certain extent, Liu Chuang had already boarded the royal party's pirate ship and stood opposite Cao Cao. Therefore, no matter whether he was willing or not, he would turn against Cao Cao sooner or later. Liu Chuang knew this, and Zheng Xuan knew very well. And Liu Chuang could believe that Cao Cao would definitely start to deal with him before the Battle of Guandu broke out at the latest.

The location of Qingzhou is too sensitive, how could Cao Cao give up people?

Unless, Liu Chuang is willing to live a life of silence, and he will be a rich man.

But even so, will it really end up with a good end?

Not to mention that Liu Chuang also has ambitions!

In his previous life, his ambitions were bound by secular laws, but now he is unwilling to live a cowardly life again.

Zheng Xuan nodded, "In this way, I guess Meng Yan already has the back?"

"There is not yet a back desk, but there are some ideas."

"Speak up?"

Liu Chuang hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said a place name in Zheng Xuan's ear.

Zheng Xuan sat up suddenly and looked at Liu Chuang and said, "You have to think clearly that although Donglai in Beihai is remote, it is at least somewhat popular.

But if you get there, it will be a bitter and cold place. Not to mention the population, just food will become a problem."

"I have already thought of a solution to the food."

"oh?"

"This year, Shuzhi recommended me to me. I have seen it in Langya County. Compared with other crops, it is indeed much higher in yield.

So I am going to transplant it there... It's not time for me. I have to find someone to do it as soon as possible. If the millet transplant is successful, the food will not be a problem. At the same time, I have asked people to look for cold-resistant crops in northern Xinjiang, which will come in handy at that time."

Zheng Xuan fell into deep thought, leaned on the couch, and gently tapped the armrest of the couch chair with his fingers.

"If food can solve it, other problems will be no problem."

"It's a pity that I don't have such talents at hand and are proficient in farming. Shuzhi and Ziming are both good at managing, but not good at research... I'm worried about this, what should I do. If someone who is proficient in farming helps me, I will be more confident that I will successfully transplant the millet."

"Are you good at farming?"

Zheng Xuan narrowed his eyes and pondered silently.

After a while, he whispered: "If you want to talk about farming, I really remember someone."

"ah?"

"Xu Miao Xu Jingshan."

This name sounds really strange.

Although Liu Chuang has not been in Beihai for a long time, he knows more or less about any famous person. But Xu Miao is really unfamiliar. Not to mention that he has never heard of this name in Beihai, even in his memory, he does not have much impression of this person.

Zheng Xuan patted Liu Chuang's arm and signaled him to sit down.

"Meng Yan, don't bother to think about it. Xu Jingshan is not from Qingzhou.

It's a coincidence that since you are interested in going north, this person can give you a lot of help. He is from Ji, Guangyang, who is good at farming and studying. At his age, he seems to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. In his early years, he studied under my school for half a year, and later because his mother was seriously ill, he returned to his hometown. A few years ago, he often wrote letters to me and asked me for teaching. I saw that he was filial, so I often sent reply letters. However, I had fewer contacts in the past two years, and once I had no place to live, it was quite difficult for me to come to him.

If you want to find someone who is proficient in farming, Xu Miao is an excellent candidate.

It’s better to do this. I will write a letter and you will bring it to him, and probably he will not refuse."

People often say that if you have an old family, it is like a treasure.

Liu Chuang was extremely surprised and nodded repeatedly.

"Father, what about you?"

"I?"

"What will you do if I leave then?"

Liu Chuang's eyes were filled with a hint of expectation.

Zheng Xuan smiled slightly, "You fat chuang, Yien has now served you, and I have put my hope on you.

If you want to make paper and write books, if you leave, I will naturally go with you. Could it be that in the end, I will shake my tail to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and beg for surrender?”

A big rock in my heart finally fell.

Liu Chuang breathed a sigh of relief. If Zheng Xuan followed him, he would have achieved twice the result with half the effort.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Xuan's house, Liu Chuang returned to Beppu.

He just sat down and wanted to take a breath, but he didn't want to hear a noise outside the house.

Liu Chuang stood up in shock and walked out of the study.

The sound came from a small courtyard next to him. When he walked over, he saw Mi Feng and Mrs. Gan standing in front of a spinning wheel, showing excitement on his face.

"Madam Zhuge, you have really done it!"

“What did it be done?”

Liu Chuang stepped forward and looked at the spinning wheel in confusion.

When Mi Feng saw Liu Chuang coming, he was stunned at first, then excitedly came forward, pulled Liu Chuang's arm, and said excitedly: "Meng Yan, come and see."

As she spoke, she walked to the spinning wheel, stepped on the spinning wheel, and kept shuttled the spinning wheel with her hands.

Zhuge Ling was also happy on the side, looking at the moose and silk cloth, her little face turned red.

Gan Yu said: "Short after the young master went to Xia Pi, Mrs. Zhuge once saw that my third lady and I worked hard on spinning cloth, so she wanted to design a new spinning machine for us. Look, she actually made it! Now we can control the spinning machine with our feet, so that we can free up our hands and do more things. Mrs. Zhuge made this new spinning machine, but you have to reward it for one great achievement."

The textile machinery in the Han Dynasty was becoming more and more mature.

However, the foot-pedal spinning machine has not appeared yet. According to historical records, it will take at least nearly a hundred years to appear.

But Liu Chuang didn't expect that this foot-pedal spinning machine actually appeared in advance, and it was improved by Zhuge Ling.

This girl is so powerful?

Liu Chuang is considering future events. Northern Xinjiang is bitter and cold, but the emergence of this foot-pedal spinning machine can indeed solve a huge problem for Liu Chuang.

He couldn't help but praise: "Madam Zhuge, it's true that he is smart and skillful."

A common praise made Zhuge Ling blush and her heart felt sweet.

She lowered her head and said almost like a mosquito: "It's nothing. I just thought of this thing when I saw the third lady and the others working hard to spin cloth."

Many people think that the noble ladies in the Eastern Han Dynasty were full of luxury and lived a luxurious life.

In fact, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, many noble ladies had to do housework at home.

For example, Cao Cao's ex-wife... or he can't be called the ex-wife, because the engagement between Cao Cao and Mrs. Ding is still there, and they are just separated from each other.

According to historical records, Cao Cao had intended to make peace with Mrs. Ding, but Mrs. Ding ignored him and turned his back to Cao Cao, shaking the spinning machine.

This also shows that even his wife, who is as noble as Cao Cao, would have such housework.

Mians will naturally also spin fabrics. Even Liu Chuang's clothes are mostly spinned out by Mians and then processed and made by others.

With the emergence of this foot-pedal spinning machine, Liu Chuang was confident and he had a greater grasp.

While trying this pedal-type spinning machine with Mi Zhuge Ling and others, they asked Zhuge Ling some questions about this pedal-type spinning machine.

It seemed that when she asked Zhuge Ling what she was proud of, she did not hide it and told Liu Chuang all the principles of the pedal-type spinning machine.

Liu Chuang felt that if this foot-pedal spinning machine was promoted on a large scale, it would not seem too difficult...

That night, Mi Fang visited her.

He has lived a proud and proud period of time.

Previously, a large amount of grain was purchased, which allowed the Beihai Kingdom to make a smooth transition.

Moreover, because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the grain prices in the areas south of the Yellow River, namely Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Heluo areas increased.

Although Cao Cao's performance in promoting military farms last year was good, the food prices naturally soared in the face of the danger of war.

With this large amount of grain, Liu Chuang could safely promote military farming and recruit refugees.

Mi Fang was back from Jizhou this time. When he heard that Liu Chuang had returned from Xia Pi, he hurried to visit him.

Liu Chuang asked Mi Fang to sit down and took someone to get the honey water that had passed by ice with well water.

"Zi Fang, I have a big deal and am hesitating to find someone to do it.

You are here, but I have solved a problem for me... I might as well tell you the truth. Although I went to Xia Pi this time, although I formed an alliance with Lu Bu, I am not optimistic about the future results. Beihai Kingdom is too small and there are too many powerful enemies around it, so it is definitely not the foundation."

"ah?"

Mi Fang was stunned when she heard this, and then she felt secretly happy.

The reason why Liu Chuang was able to tell him about this shows that Liu Chuang trusted him very much.

This also made Mi Fang more energetic and asked quickly: "I wonder what the young master has to plan?"
