Having someone take Li Yi down, Adou opened the letter from his father-in-law in front of Feng Yong.

 After reading it, he handed it to Zhang Xingcai out of habit.

Lu Xun’s letter describes in detail the process of the Battle of Lujiang.

 At the end of the letter, I also specifically mentioned:

 I heard that General Feng Junhou of the Han Dynasty sent troops to Xiaoguan, defeated the stable and strong city and consolidated the pond, and attacked and plundered as fast as wind and fire. How lucky is he to know the details?

After Zhang Xingcai finished reading, he laughed and said:

“No wonder Xiangfu specially sent someone to deliver the letter. It turns out that the Wu people’s letter also mentioned something clear.”

As she spoke, she motioned to Xiao Huangmen to hand the letter to Feng Yong for reading.

 Having been in Dahan for ten years, Feng Yong has long been accustomed to everything here.

The only thing I'm not used to is that the calligraphy is still like a dog crawling.

 As for reading letters and the like, there is no problem at all.

After Feng Yong took it and read it, he folded the letter again and smiled clearly:

"I'm afraid that the people of Wu will be anxious when they see my big men taking over Liangzhou in Longyou one after another, so they want to find out how the army can attack the city."

The content of the letter was a little beyond Feng Yong’s expectations.

 Because in my own impression, Lu Xun seemed to have never been defeated in battle in his life, and he never expected that one day he would be forced to retreat by Man Chong.

 Zhang Xingcai nodded:

"It is indeed possible. But this method of siege is a secret in the army. How can it be easily revealed to others?"

Feng Yong nodded in agreement:

"That's right. Not long ago, I learned from Xi Zuo that the Wei thief Sima Yi was stationed in Guanzhong, and the things he used for farming were eight oxen plows."

“Before the Han Dynasty passed the eight-oxen plow to the state of Wu, I had never heard of anyone other than the Han Dynasty using it.”

“Two years ago, in order to show your goodwill to the state of Wu, your majesty gave the eight-oxen plow to the state of Wu. Unexpectedly, the state of Wei immediately had the eight-oxen plow.”

“In my opinion, this matter is closely related to Wu Guoding.”

Before the Han Dynasty regained Longyou, as long as the two gates of Yong'an and Hanzhong were closed, Shuzhong would become a world of its own.

If the court deliberately controls it, even if someone wants to take Ba Niu Plow out, it will be extremely difficult.

 But after the Han Dynasty regained Longyou, the situation has changed.

 As the Eight Niu Plow is used more and more publicly, it is impossible to keep this thing as secret as before.

 Coupled with the open alliance between Han and Wu, the relationship between the two countries has been in the honeymoon period in the past two years.

So the Han Dynasty made a favor and sent the Eight Ox Plow to Jiangdong as a gift to strengthen relations with the State of Wu.

Of course, Governor Feng also had a little selfishness in this matter.

When the state of Wu was reclaiming wasteland in Jingzhou, what if there were eight oxen plows to help? Wouldn’t it be possible to cultivate more wasteland and plant more sugar cane?

But generally speaking, the possibility of Wei Guo getting the Eight Ox Plow from Wu Guo is much greater than the possibility of stealing it from the Han Dynasty.

 What Feng Jishi said is seeking truth from facts? He is not the black sun Wu.

Hearing Feng Yong’s words and seeing his calm expression, Zhang Xingcai couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows:

 “From what I read, it seems that this has been expected for a long time?”

Feng Yong smiled slyly:

“The eight-oxen plow given to Wu by the Han Dynasty is not exactly the same as the eight-oxen plow used in the Han Dynasty.”

The eight-oxen plow that Feng Yong first brought out was made entirely of iron and was strong to use, but it also required a huge amount of iron material.

 Huang Yueying tried to streamline it from the very beginning, replacing non-critical components with wood.

 Coupled with the application over the past ten years, it has provided a wealth of experience for the improvement of Ba Niu Plow.

 Based on the actual situation of Han Dynasty, Ba Niu Li has been improved in countless versions.

Now Dahan has two-niu, four-niu, six-niu and other styles? Different styles can be replaced according to different environments.

 The Eight Ox Plow given to Wu State was the original all-iron version.

 In the two countries of Wei and Wu, there was no one like Feng Yong who attached great importance to improving production tools.

  II. Even if there were, it would not have the influence of Feng Yong.

 So this is doomed that the two countries will use this stupid and thick version for a long time.

 At this time, they are probably still worrying about the iron materials to build the eight-oxen plow.

 Because if too much iron is used to make the eight-oxen plow? What if there are not enough weapons?

 So, development is the last word.

Afraid that your opponent will surpass you, you dare not even take out good things and use them. This is called cowardice and ignorance.

 Taking away a few advanced technologies from the Han Dynasty, but without the social foundation to support the continued development of technology, cannot change the overall situation at all.

The eight-oxen plow requires a large number of iron tools and a large number of oxen.

Feng Jishi established a ranch from the beginning, and then tried his best to improve the smelting method.

 At the same time, year after year, huge amounts of money and food are invested to establish basic education, increase productivity, and improve the quality of the labor force.

 This laid the foundation for the continuation of this development.

 As the same saying goes, how many nails can be driven by just one person or a group of people, even if they are made of iron?

 If we don’t want people to die and the government to cease, we must develop social trends and social classes that can sustain the policy.

 All of this requires strong enough financial support.

 The Han government could provide a guarantee and let the ranch lend a large number of cattle to the people.

 Which of Wei or Wu can do this?

It’s not that Feng Yong looks down on them. In both countries, there is probably still a problem whether the government has enough oxen to pull eight oxen plows.

Hearing Feng Yong’s explanation, Zhang Xingcai was overjoyed and said:

“It turns out that this plan has been planned for a long time. It is really far-sighted!”

 But see Feng Wenhe said modestly:

"The queen is ridiculous. In my opinion, the eight-oxen plow used by Wei and Wu is beneficial to them, but it is not necessarily harmful."

When Zhang Xingcai heard this, he whispered something in Adou's ear.

Adou quickly sat up straight, had the leftovers removed, placed hot soup again, lit the incense burner, and then raised his hand to Feng Yonggong:

 “Please Feng Qing teach me.”

 This is the posture of policy analysis.

Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xingcai.

 This is indeed a virtuous queen!

With this thought in his mind, Governor Feng did not dare to neglect, and he quickly sat upright and said seriously:

“The iron material used in the eight-oxen plow is very large, but how many ordinary people can afford the iron material used for plowing cattle? In addition to the government’s farming, the only people who can use the eight-oxen plow are the wealthy and aristocratic families.”

“After a powerful family gets this thing, they can open more fields and accumulate money and grain. However, in the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu, they did not suppress the powerful right, so it was difficult to collect taxes, money and food from the powerful right.”

“The more land and land occupied by Haoyou in the Jie Dynasty, the greater his power will be. Sooner or later, the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu will be counterattacked by the powerful families.”

 Zhang Xingcai nodded repeatedly:

“Therefore, the former Han Dynasty, the later Han Dynasty, and even the first emperor and his father-in-law all acted to restrain the right and arrogant people. This can be called foresight.”

Although the Later Han Dynasty was founded with the support of powerful landowners, there were also measures to restrict the powerful landlords in the early stage.

 Zhang Xingcai’s words are not wrong.

 It’s just that the Later Han Dynasty was destined to be unable to fundamentally restrict the powerful landowners because of the foundation of the founding of the country.

 So this is one of the reasons why Ji Han has always been wary of aristocratic families.

 Seeing Zhang Xingcai, he asked again:

“According to what Feng Qing said, the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu had eight ox plows, which had both advantages and disadvantages. The big Han people don’t need to worry too much, right?”

“Back to the queen, the Han Dynasty has promoted the eight-oxen plow for ten years. How many places can use it now? Wei and Wu have only been in the country for a long time, so why should we worry too much?”

 Speaking of this, Governor Feng smiled strangely again:

“Speaking of which, I would like to remind you of something. Although this method of siege cannot be leaked, the Han Dynasty and the Kingdom of Wu are allies after all.”

“And this time the Wu State also wants to attack the Wei thieves. How about the Han supporting the Wu State with some weapons?”

 Zhang Xingcai was slightly startled: "Weapon?"

Governor Feng nodded:
