When the Generalissimo heard from his nephew that Wang An made a huge plow that could only be pulled by 10 oxen to reclaim wasteland, his first reaction was to dig his ears, and his second reaction was to find his own plow and prepare to go Smoke Xiao Honglang.

"You son of a bitch, I told you not to learn well, and even made fun of your uncle!" The marshal waved the gun vigorously.

And his subordinate Xiao Honglang shouted while avoiding: "Uncle, I really didn't lie to you, you will find out after going to see with me, Wang An has almost finished plowing the fifty mu of land now."

The Generalissimo said angrily: "If I know that you kid is lying to me, just wait for me."

The Generalissimo who asked Xiao Honglang to wait was stunned when he saw the giant plow, and when he saw the land plowed by the giant plow, it could be used as good farmland after a few years of cultivation, Even his eyes are shining brightly.

Such a huge plow is not very useful in the Central Plains, but it is not very useful for borders where there are sparsely populated land but many.

When Chu An watched the giant plow finish plowing the field, what he saw was a middle-aged man with beards in military uniform standing by the field, and Xiao Honglang was behind him.

Seeing Xiao Honglang's position, Chu An immediately knew that the middle-aged man standing by the field was probably the Generalissimo of the border.

As soon as he saw Chu An approaching, the Generalissimo saluted Chu An: "My minister Xiao Yun'an, I have seen the prince."

Chu An quickly flattened his body without courtesy, and the Generalissimo was also unceremonious. He got up and began to ask questions about the giant plow in front of him.

"His Royal Highness King An, I wonder how much this giant plow will cost? Can the border people use it?" the Generalissimo said straight to the point.

Chu An replied directly: "The cost is very expensive, but it can be used by the border people through lease. If the Generalissimo is willing, the king can give the blueprint to the Generalissimo. The plowshares on both sides of this plow can be disassembled and can be changed to 8. A plow that can be pulled by six or four oxen."

While talking, Chu An directed the guards to dismantle the plowshares on both sides, put them on the ox cart for the ox to pull back, and directed other guards to assemble something similar to a columbine cart, except that this columbine cart was a Row by row, with the pulling force of the cows on both sides, the giant planted the seeds in a straight line, saving several days of time at once.

The Grand Marshal looked at the miraculous scene in front of him, was silent for a while, and questioned his soul: "His Royal Highness King An, excuse me, have you given the objects you made to the Holy Majesty?"

Chu An, who was instructing the guards to sow the seeds, froze. Too bad, these days, he seems to have forgotten his royal brother because he is obsessed with raising sheep and farming.

-------------------------------------

The emperor hadn't received a letter from his younger brother for a long time, except for the news sent by Commander Xue who would release the pigeons on time every day, his younger brother seemed to have forgotten himself.

The emperor could only know what his family Pingan had done recently from the news sent back by Commander Xue.

Ping'an is the nickname of the emperor's younger brother. Back then, King An almost didn't survive because of his mother's weakness, so he took this nickname.

Well, Ping An is raising sheep, okay, raising, there are many strange princes and nobles in the capital, what is it like to raise sheep?

Um?Ping An was deceived by the people below?Although Ping An quickly dealt with it and sent all the people to wash their wool, what happened to Xiao Honglang?How dare you say that to Ping An?

The emperor was like an old father, waiting for Commander Xue to send him news about Chu An every day, but this time he did not get the news about Chu An from Commander Xue's carrier pigeon.

It was from the notes that the generalissimo quickly handed over.

In the booklet, it is written in detail and clearly that King An built a giant plow and a giant cart at the border, which can plow 5 mu of land a day. There are also drawings attached to the letter, which clearly and concisely write down the main points of production and data.

And Chu An’s other booklet was actually an official booklet written by the head of the palace, and there was also a family letter inside. Chu An talked about everything he had done at the border these days, and said that he would send it to his brother in winter. Go for a special kind of clothing that is very warm.

The emperor looked at it and felt that his family was too filial, and then he saw Chu An's explanation of the giant plow and the giant columbine cart.

In the letter, Chu An said that he had read the blueprints of the giant plow and the giant columbine cart in an ancient book. He didn’t say anything about it because the Central Plains couldn’t be used. It wasn’t until this time that he arrived at the border and needed to reclaim the wasteland and found that the border was very suitable for the giant plow. and the use of giant columbine carts.

Chu An also mentioned the disadvantages of giant plows and giant columbine carts in the letter, because the power of giant plows and giant columbine carts needs to be pulled by oxen, and it takes two oxen to pull one head, which is very tasteless for ordinary civilians , but the government can open the business of renting giant plows and giant columbine carts, and the income can also be directly transferred to the national treasury.

In the end, he begged the emperor to send someone over to manage the cattle, or assign someone to pick them up. The number of cattle sent to him by the local tyrants was almost exceeded.

After reading the letter, the emperor felt a little more distressed about his family's safety. Ping'an is such a good child. He was afraid that his brother, the emperor, would be in trouble. He didn't even dare to raise more cows. What kind of life are the dudes of other princes and nobles living?What kind of life did you live in peace at home?They played and sang every night, and Ping An even tried to avoid suspicion when he went to the Generalissimo, even under the pretense of buying wasteland.

But the emperor understood that if Ping An was allowed to raise cattle without restriction, Yushi would definitely not come for him as the emperor, but for Ping An, and the emperor had to start screening candidates for the border.

But thinking of his younger brother being so cautious, the emperor felt very guilty and sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to the frontier again, even including a group of guards and attendants.

Chu An was at a loss when he heard the content of the imperial decree. He was just giving his brother an idea. Why did his brother send a bunch of rewards, and the warehouse of the palace was almost full, and those guards were still useful, but the guards He really can't use so many people alone.

On the other hand, Commander Xue was full of admiration for Chu An when he heard the imperial decree. This move is really good. It not only won the emperor's guilt, but also made his reputation untainted. He is worthy of King An .

Commander Xue said with emotion.

-------------------------------------

Since the last reward, the Marshal who originally thought that King An would be domineering because of the emperor's support was surprised to find that King An was still staying in the sheep farm step by step. He was really curious, and he didn't know what happened in the sheep farm What kind of things can make An Wangdu linger.

When the Generalissimo arrived, Chu An was at the woolen factory. The workers recruited from the surrounding villages were weaving the wool into threads and then balls, which were handed over to the women in the surrounding villages to weave them into sweaters.

The sweater spun out of such rough wool is really tough, and there is another layer of underwear inside, but it is also really warm. It is already early autumn, and wearing this sweater and layering it with a single shirt makes people feel slightly uncomfortable. sweat.

Commander Xue was wearing a white sweater. After he came back from a stroll outside the sweater factory, he said to Chu An with a rare smile, "My lord, this woolen dress is very warm. If the brothers in the palace are on duty in winter Clothes like this won’t freeze.”

The Generalissimo came in at this time. He saw the weird clothes on Commander Xue at first glance. After the incident of the giant plow and the giant columbine, the Generalissimo's eyes on Chu An changed. The eyes of the younger brother turned into the eyes of looking at the golden doll.

Chu An invited the Generalissimo to try on the sweater. The sweater was knitted directly in three sizes, large, medium and small. Because the sweater is elastic, although the large size of the Generalissimo is a bit tight, it can still be worn in. After he comes back from a stroll , I was so excited that I couldn't bear to take it off.

"My lord, I don't know the price of your sweater." The generalissimo stretched out his rough hands to caress the slightly prickly but very soft and warm sweater, and what he thought about was that he was on duty outside the border barracks in winter and was about to die from the cold. soldiers.

Although there are kangs at the border now, it is always a big problem to keep warm when going out on patrol.Generals who cared about their soldiers like the Generalissimo would arrange a little more people to go back to the camp one by one to keep their bodies warm, while some generals didn't care about the lives of the soldiers below.

Countless soldiers freeze to death every year.

Seeing the Generalissimo's actions, Chu An silently quoted a price with [-]% added to the cost price.

The Generalissimo was overjoyed, and then he bowed solemnly and said: "I thank the prince on behalf of the soldiers at the border!"

Chu An hurriedly stopped the Generalissimo and said, "Don't worry, Generalissimo. Although the price is low, the textile factory is short of manpower, and the number of sweaters produced is only a few hundred."

The Generalissimo understood that Chu An was going to ask him for someone, and when he was waiting for King An's lion to speak, he was stunned by King An's words.

"I don't know if there are any veterans in the hands of the Generalissimo who have already retired from the army? As long as there is no problem with their character, they can come to work here. I want a lot of people. Of course you know. Now the fields, sheep farms , Wool mills, and woolen mills need people everywhere, and the surrounding villages are no longer enough.”

King An said to the Generalissimo with a calm expression.

However, there was a wave of turmoil in the Generalissimo's heart. Veterans have always been a pain in the Generalissimo's heart. The men who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield had to retire because of their disabilities. After returning home, they were also unable to do heavy work because of their disabilities. Abandoned, reduced to beggars and even starved to death.

When the generalissimo was not a generalissimo, but just a soldier, I saw a colleague with my own eyes. The tall and mighty man had killed many Huns, but before he died, he was scrawny and curled up in a ruined temple, alone. die.

And it was all because the man had disabled his hands and was unable to do heavy work, so he was abandoned by his family.

The Generalissimo didn't believe the so-called shortage of people. Countless civilians in the border city crowded their heads to work in King An's factory. people are very kind.

When the Generalissimo returned to the mansion in silence, Xiao Honglang was planning to go out to find Ming Yuruo. He had figured it out, no matter what Ming Yuruo was like now, as long as she was still her, he would always silently guard her.

As soon as Xiao Honglang went out, he met the Generalissimo. Seeing his uncle's teary eyes, he asked blankly, "Uncle, why are you crying?"

The Generalissimo, who concealed the whole journey from his personal guards, silently drew out the spear placed beside the horse's back.
