Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

With 10,000 soldiers, the profit is only 30%. Liu Yu's words made the two stop arguing.

Xun Gun was somewhat bewildered. Even though he had experienced many vicissitudes of life, he still could not see through Liu Yu in front of him.

He could clearly have earned twice the profit, but he suddenly gave up.

This surprised Xun Gun. In his dictionary, there was also the word "humility". However, if he and Liu Yu were in each other's shoes, he would definitely not make such a big concession.

Chen Ji also had doubts on his face. Ever since he heard about the craftsmanship of transparent glass, he had been determined to try his best. He knew too well that mastering this craftsmanship would bring improvements to the Chen family.

If all goes well, in the near future the Chen family will surpass the Xun family and become the number one wealthy family in Yingchuan.

He knew that Xun Gun would not give up either, so he could only hope that his appearance would leave a good impression on Liu Yu.

Liu Yu did not express his opinion for a long time, which made Chen Ji feel very anxious.

If they were competing under the same conditions, Chen Ji was not sure of winning. He and Xun Xun were equally strong, and what he could do, the Xun family could do as well.

The same thought also occurred to Xun Gun. Both families had been in Yingchuan for so many years and knew each other well. Even if he wanted to cheat, he would have no chance.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, no one can play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

When the two heard Liu Yu's words, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They were determined not to give up. This result was probably the best outcome.

After the two families called the craftsmen over, Liu Yu handed them the production methods that he had already written down.

There was a hint of shock in the eyes of the craftsmen. Before they even started making the glass, they had already realized that the glass produced by this process would be different.

When Xun Gun and Chen Ji saw the craftsman nod in confirmation, they finally felt relieved.

Liu Yu and the two formed an alliance of interests. In this era, there was no so-called memorandum of understanding, and there were few things like hutongs.

But this era is also not like later generations, where people lose their moral bottom line in order to make money. They abide by the most basic ethics.

Liu Yu was not worried that the two families would not honor the agreement reached today in the future.

After dealing with this matter, both families wanted to invite Liu Yu to their homes, but Liu Yu declined with a smile.

Liu Yu was not interested in eating and drinking. He was more interested in Xun Yu, a talented person who could assist the king.

When Liu Yu learned that Xun Yu was still in Jizhou, he knew that this history had not changed because of his arrival.

In this case, there is no need for Liu Yu to stay in Yingchuan.

He wanted to return to Luoyang. The military rations in Luoyang could only last for three days at most, which meant that he had to transport them from Yingchuan to Luoyang within three days.

When the grain transport team set off, Liu Yu realized that he was completely wrong. There was no animal power in the team, and all transportation was done by manpower.

At this rate, it would take five days, let alone three days, to complete the mission.

In Liu Yu's opinion, the grain transport team's advance speed was not much faster than a turtle.

Liu Yu had repeatedly requested to increase the speed of grain transportation, but the effect was not obvious. It was not that the people did not work hard, but the wooden wheels could not speed up on the bumpy road.

Seeing the pace getting slower and slower, Liu Yu could only sigh inwardly.

Liu Yu was riding on his horse, secretly admiring the arrogance of the aristocratic families.

In that age of starving people, it only took them half a day to gather all the food.

As Liu Yu looked at the long grain transport team leaving Yingchuan and heading towards Luoyang, a sentence popped up in his mind.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

Under Liu Yu's constant urging, the grain transport team arrived at the city of Luoyang on the seventh day.

I thought that after a few days' delay, Luoyang City had become a mess. But after returning to Luoyang City, I realized that under the leadership of Liu Bei, Luoyang was not only free of unrest, but also thriving.

One hundred thousand people, young and old, had already been arranged to live in. Soldiers were training under the leadership of Guan and Zhang. Even the burned Luoyang City had been cleaned up. Although traces of the burning were still there, it had been tidied up neatly by Liu Bei.

It has to be said that Liu Bei was absolutely the best in governing the city in that era, otherwise there would not have been hundreds of thousands of common people, bringing their old and young, willing to follow Liu Bei to flee.

When Liu Bei saw Liu Yu return to Luoyang City, he hurried to meet him. Looking at the endless grain transport convoys outside Luoyang, even Liu Bei, who was usually calm, felt a little surprised.

Liu Yu not only brought back food, but also brought back 10,000 people. In addition to the mostly young and strong, there were also some craftsmen.

Liu Yu looked at the vast land outside the city, his face filled with deep thought.

After a while, he slowly said, "Brother, if the spring planting season has already passed, we should organize the soldiers to plant the crops. Will there be a harvest in the fall?"

"Although it's past spring planting, it's still spring, so the harvest shouldn't be a problem. But the most important thing is that without animal power, I'm afraid farming will be a little difficult."

The main tool for cultivating the land in this era was the straight-beam plow, which had a thick blade and was very effective in breaking the soil. However, the disadvantage of this straight-beam plow was that it was too heavy and required an ox to pull it.

When Liu Yu heard this, he had a headache. Although he had people now, he had no oxen to plow. If he wanted to turn the ground quickly, it would be a very difficult task relying solely on manpower.

If deep plowing is not effective, it will be difficult to obtain satisfactory yields from planted crops.

Send someone to buy oxen now? An idea came to Liu Yu's mind, but he felt it was difficult to realize.

Firstly, there is not enough time, and more importantly, there is a shortage of oxen right now, and it is difficult to buy one even if you have money.

"The curved plow."

Some images flashed through Liu Yu's mind. Yes, it was the curved plow. This upgraded version of farming had the biggest advantage over the previous straight-beam plow. It allowed for flexible operation and saved manpower and animal power.

Based on the pattern in his memory, he drew the shape of the curved plow and handed it to the craftsman.

“How long will it take to be ready?”

Liu Yu asked, and the craftsman took a look at the style of the plow, which was different from the previous ones.

He asked uncertainly, "Uncle, is this figure drawn wrong?"

"You can't go wrong. Just follow this drawing."

"It can be done tomorrow."

Liu Yu nodded.

Liu Bei was also a little puzzled when he saw the style of the plow. Liu Yu smiled and explained: "Brother, this is called a curved plow, and it only needs an adult man to pull it."

A grown man could pull it? Liu Bei's eyes were filled with disbelief.

When he was in Pingyuan County, he had seen farming many times. A straight-beam plow required at least three or four adults to pull it.

If this is the case, spring farming may not be delayed.
