Chu Huan recently inspected the farming situation in various places and found that the ploughs cultivated by the people were all straight long plows. It is undeniable that the existence of straight long plows has indeed improved agricultural production. The Central Plains of China is a nation dominated by farming, and the development of farming tools has been progressing.

Chu Huan vaguely remembered that if he remembered correctly, plows began to appear in the Shang Dynasty. It was not until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that the ox plows developed, and the plows also ranged from stone plows, copper plows to iron plows. During the Han Dynasty, they had developed into straight plows. Straight plows were divided into double plows and single plows, which were suitable for use in plain areas. They could ensure the straightness of the plows in the fields, were easier to control, and greatly improved efficiency.

Until now during the Qin Dynasty, the people still used straight plows.

When Chu Huan saw the straight-rod plow used by the people, he felt a little strange. In his memory, the body of the plow was curved, like a bow. After understanding it, he knew that the curved plow had not appeared yet. He thought in his mind that the curved plow should have appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He could not remember clearly when it was, but there was no curved plow in this era.

He had a special understanding, and carefully pondered the straight-rod plow, and found a few woodworking craftsmen. After fiddling with these two, he made the curved plow based on his memory.

In fact, Chu Huan just remembers the tillage of a curved plow, and knows that compared with the straight plow, the curved plow changes the straight plow and the long-term to the curved plow and the short plow, and installs a plow plate that can rotate freely on the head of the shaft.

The long straight plow is relatively heavy, and it is very difficult to turn around when plowing the land, and it is very difficult to lift the soil. It cannot fully exert efficiency. Moreover, the requirements for both human and animal power are relatively high. If it is not a strong man, it is impossible to control the long straight plow.

Compared with long straight plows, the plough frame of the curved plow becomes extremely small and light. When operating, it is not as stiff as the straight plow body. The plough body of the curved plow can swing, which is very mobile, and it can be dug deep, which is light and soft, not only easy to operate, but also very flexible to turn and turn. Its efficiency can be said to be greatly improved.

Since Chu Huan has such a memory, he naturally hopes to develop a plow that is more suitable for the people to cultivate land. This will not only save manpower and animal power, so that the cultivated landers will not work too hard, but also greatly improve efficiency. Fortunately, several craftsmen have quite understood Chu Huan's meaning, and with Chu Huan's personal guidance, it took only two days to roughly make this curved plow.

At that moment, a farmer carried the curved plow to the field. Everyone watched the ridge of the field. The old farmer was a farmer who was very experienced and drove the curved plow. The old cow pulled the plow in front. After a few rounds, everyone in the ridge showed joy. They saw that although the old farmer seemed not suitable at first, they quickly became familiar with it. The key point was that the curved plow was indeed easier to operate than a straight plow. Everyone saw that the curved plow could smoothly turn the direction, and the ground that was plowed out was deep and straight, and someone had already shouted loudly.

Chu Huan was not sure at first, but seeing the actual effect was even better than he expected, he felt relieved. Qi Hong couldn't help but come closer and lowered his voice and said, "Duke Chu, have you ever cultivated the land before?"

Chu Huan looked at Qi Hong and chuckled, "Qi Hong, you and I have time together. I think you should give you a more suitable position. You have the strength, and it is really a waste to be by my side. I am going to allocate a few acres of land for you to plow the fields on my behalf. What do you think?"

Qi Hong turned his face away and pretended that he didn't hear it. He cheered: "Director Chu is wise, and the wise man of Chu is wise. He has made all the tillage tools that are so skillful. It is really a blessing from the northwest!"

Chu Huan laughed loudly, and called the local officials and instructed: "This chubby plow is relatively rough and can be improved. You can find some skilled craftsmen to see if there is any place to improve it. You can make such chubby plows in large quantities in the future. In this way, not only can the people save some effort, but the land plows should also have a better harvest."

In fact, it is no wonder that Chu Huan can make such a thing. He can make salt from the mountain, so what else can the Governor not make trouble for him.

What made everyone sigh was that although Chu Huan was the governor of Xiguan and famous in Yuanzhen, he was very easy-going and had no airs at all, but he was not angry and was arrogant.

From the beginning to the end, since the founding of the country, no governor was willing to go to the fields and inspect the people's arable land, and no official was willing to work hard to improve the farming tools to improve the efficiency of the farmland.

As the sun sets, Chu Huan carefully advises local officials. Suddenly, he saw a horse riding from afar. Qi Hong immediately stepped forward, said a few words to the man, and brought something over. The cavalryman left. Qi Hong came over with something, but it was a letter of letter to Chu Huan. Chu Huan took the letter, glanced a few times, and his expression immediately became solemn.

"Duke Chu, what's wrong?" Qi Hong couldn't help asking when he saw Chu Huan's serious expression.

Chu Huan didn't explain, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to go back to Shuoquan."

In Shuoquan City, in the Governor's Office, Chu Huan sat on the main seat, with several people sitting in the hall, Pei Ji, Gongsun Chu and Du Fu Gong, among them, but Chu Huan was wearing casual clothes, with hair loose, and a white towel on his forehead. His face looked a little pale, and he seemed to be sick. Qi Hong had arrived in front of the door at this time and bowed, "Duke Chu, the person has arrived!"

Chu Huan looked at the people in the hall, and Pei Ji had already said, "Let him come in."

Soon, he saw a man walking slowly and reaching the gate. He coughed twice deliberately, as if he wanted to attract everyone's attention. Then Shi Shiran came in. The man was not tall, holding a whisk in his hand, and dressed up, and suddenly became a eunuch.

After the eunuch came in, Pei Ji and the other two had already stood up. Chu Huan seemed to want to stand up, but he looked soft and powerless, and he seemed unable to stand up for a moment.

"This is Eunuch Song who comes from Hexi, right?" Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "I am really negligent, I am... I am..." A violent cough, "I am unwell these days, and I have been lying on the bed and can't get up. I am really sorry for it. Eunuch Song should not blame me."

The eunuch looked at Chu Huan, and when he heard Chu Huan's voice was weak, he was a little surprised, but he still said, "Is Governor Chu ill?"

Gongsun Chu had already sighed: "My dear brother-in-law doesn't know anything. After coming to Xiguan, he was worried day and night. He dared not neglect the peace in Xiguan... Since the beginning of the New Year, Xiao Huanzhang first rebelled, and later Zhu Lingyue even rebelled. The Chu commanded the troops to fight in person, Dingbei Mountain, Pingtian Mountain, sleeping in the open, and the wind blows the sun, and leads everything...!" He shook his head, looking depressed.

"Eunuch Song, as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." Du Fugong also smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Chu was too tired, and suddenly he fell down. We were all anxious as the wind. You said that Xiguan is an important time, how could Duke Chu fall ill?"

Eunuch Song opened his mouth, but Chu Huan said: "It's okay, it's okay. This governor is an official of the court. He is instructed by the emperor to benefit the people. Even if he can't get out of bed, he has to devote himself to his whole life until he dies... Eunuch Song, you came from afar from Hexi, but have you followed the will of the emperor? I wonder what the will of the emperor?"

Only then did the Master Song correct the righteous god and said, "I don't know that Chu Du is so sick, the Mijia... Oh, Chu Du takes care of his health. The Mijia came to Xiguan because he came to Xiguan to pass the imperial edict."

"Oh?" Chu Huan hurriedly reached out and said, "Hurry, hurry up, help me to accept the order..." He forced himself to stand up, his body shaking, as if he was about to fall at any time.

Qi Hong had already walked over quickly and held Chu Huan. After only two steps, he saw Chu Huan coughing violently. Qi Hong took a white handkerchief and handed it to Chu Huan. Chu Huan took it, pressed it to his mouth, lowered his head, and after coughing, he wiped his lips, and then handed the white handkerchief to Qi Hong. Eunuch Song opened his eyes wide and could see clearly that there was a piece of red on the handkerchief that was originally as white as snow. There was no doubt that Chu Huan actually vomited blood.

He changed his color slightly. Seeing that Chu Huan was about to come over, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Chu, no need, no need, you are so sick, you should... just stand up and accept the order. Although it is not in accordance with the rules, it can only be done. I just hope you don't show off."

Gongsun Chu said solemnly: "Eunuch Song is unparalleled and kind, and sympathetic to his subordinates. We are very grateful and dare not talk too much."

Only then did the imperial edict take out, open it, and said with a sharp voice: "Substantially, the emperor's edict says: I have been in the great treasure for twenty-four years. Heaven and earth have been peaceful and all people are blessed. Since ancient times, the emperor must rule the world with respect to the heaven and law ancestors. However, respecting the heaven and law ancestors with sincerity cannot be allowed to have a moment. Therefore, the night is hard and hardworking, and work hard every day. Establish the heaven and the heaven and the heaven and the heaven are blessed. This year, my sixty-five years of dragons are soaring in the sky to show the dragon's power and blessings to all people. This year, the autumn moon is the first to worship the heaven and celebrate the New Year. Chu Huan, the governor of Xiguan, went to Hexi to celebrate the heaven and the year, and gave all the kindness to all the people. I admire this!"

After Eunuch Song finished his proclamation, he rolled up the imperial edict, walked forward, handed his hands to Chu Huan. With Qi Hong's support, Chu Huan took it with both hands and said respectfully: "I am the governor of Xiguan Road Chu Huan to receive the imperial edict!" He also said: "Eunuch Song, please sit down!"

Gongsun Chu had already guided Eunuch Song to sit down next to him. Someone had already come in with tea and snacks. Chu Huan put away the imperial edict and sat down again with Qi Hong's support. Then he sighed: "It turns out that it is the 65th birthday of the emperor. I want to celebrate the New Year. It is really... it is a festive event in the world..." After another cough, he said: "Eunuch Song, is the dragon body of the emperor good?"

Eunuch Song smiled and said, "The emperor is the body of a god and immortal. He lives with the heaven and earth, and naturally the health of the dragon."

"That's good, that's good. The health of the Holy Dragon is a blessing for all the people of heaven and the blessing for us as ministers." Chu Huan's breath was weak, "Eunuch Song, the Holy Master is the first autumn moon to celebrate the sky for the New Year, and it's less than two months left."

"Yes." Eunuch Song smiled and said, "Now the Hexi is preparing for the birthday of the Lord. The Emperor has announced several decrees. The Emperor has gone to Hexi to celebrate together. Lord Chu is also among them. That is the honor of the Emperor, which is a happy congratulation!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Apart from his subordinates, I don't know who other adults are going to celebrate together in Hexi?"

"I really don't know much about this miscellaneous family." Eunuch Song smiled and said, "The Lord uploaded several decrees. The miscellaneous family is just one of them, and the other ones, and I don't know where to go."

Chu Huan nodded and asked again: "Yes, Eunuch Song knows Shui Lianshui? How is he good now?"

"Shui Lian?" Eunuch Song was stunned and confused: "Which Eunuch Shui, the Zajia didn't know about this person."

Chu Huan's eyes twitched slightly, but he was still weak: "That may be because the officials remembered the wrong thing. Eunuch Song said with accent, it seemed that he was not from the southerner, but from the northerner."

"Oh. Zajia is from Hexi." Eunuch Song explained: "Mr. Chu didn't know that many people in the palace were not good at work before, so the emperor ordered some people to enter the palace in Hexi. Zajia was well-off, so he also went to the palace to do business, and worked as a member of the public affairs by the emperor...!" Thinking of something, he said: "Yes, was the master of Shui who was talking about who served the emperor in the capital earlier? It might be no longer there. Many people in the palace were expelled from the palace because they were not good at work, and that Eunuch Shui might have been expelled from the palace...!" At this point, he suddenly stopped. Obviously, he realized that he had said too much, picked up the teacup, and smiled: "Forget it, the little things in the palace, the servants of the family of Shui didn't know much about it, and they laughed."
