0539 The Death of the Jiangdong Family(2/2)

The founder of Cao Zhi is Cao Zhi.

Since Emperor Xiaowu only respected Confucianism, Confucianism has always occupied a dominant position in thought. The so-called poetry and Fu are just a vassal of Confucian classics.

It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that social turmoil caused traditional Confucianism to decline and lose its dominant position. Only then did literature, poetry, and poetry get rid of the shackles of Confucian classics, and then rapidly rose to form the Jian'an literature that had a profound influence on later generations.

The literary movement known as "Jian'an Literature" by later generations was originally a rebellion against the classics of the Han Dynasty: "Before the elegant cup of beans, on the graceful bed mat, I wrote a heartfelt song with my pen, and talked and laughed with my ink".

The literati at this time paid attention to indulgence of feelings, free creation, innovative literature, and did not adhere to the rules of the predecessors.

Cao Zijian is the master of Jian'an literature. Most of his articles are in five characters, and he is recognized as a model of articles in the world.

In Zhang Wen's opinion, Feng Mingwen's writing style is more varied, ranging from Yuefu style to the seven-character style commonly used by Cao Pi. He can be regarded as a latecomer.

What is even more valuable is that compared to Cao Zijian, who has a great collection of works, Feng Mingwen can actually create a new style of writing, which is more valued by Zhang Wen. If he can produce a few more poems of the same level, he can be compared with Cao Zijian.

, not a lie.

When Lu Xun heard Zhang Wen's analysis, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked, "What is his talent for governing the world?"

"It is good at construction and good at management. I heard that the people of Shu have benefited from it a lot."

"What's his plan?"

"He is known as Xiao Wenhe, so he must be a good strategist."

When Lu Xun heard this, he sighed and said, "Feng Mingwen is only nineteen years old. He is so impressive. He will definitely be a hero in the future."

"Bo Yan knew it was him, so why did he come to ask me?"

Zhang Wen was not surprised at all that Lu Xun knew about Feng Mingwen, he was just curious why the other party came to him specifically to ask about Feng Mingwen.

Lu Xun did not hide anything and explained, "This year Jiangling is short of military rations. I have opened up wasteland in Jingzhou and obtained the Quyu plow from Shu. I think it is very suitable for use."

"It was later that I found out that this thing was made by Feng Mingwen, who has the same name as the author of "The Road to Shu" and "Changgan Xing" that are sung in Jiangdong today, so I came here to ask."

When Zhang Wen heard Lu Xun talking about Quyuanli, his face showed a hint of sarcasm, "Do you know that when I returned from Shu, I offered this to Lord Wu?"

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Xun asked in surprise, "The king attaches great importance to farming. If there is such a thing, how can..."

At this point, he paused again.

Zhang Wen was dismissed from office. One of the charges was that he praised the other party when he was on a mission to Shu. The king felt that this was an act that insulted Wu.

If he can't even praise Shu, then most likely the king will not even look at the things he brought back from Shu, and they might have been destroyed long ago.

"Bo Yan also knows that in the past two years, I have used the curved shaft plow to cultivate my own fields. How much less manpower and animal power have been used? How much has the production increased?"

"I don't know."

"In the past, a horizontal plow required at least two people and two oxen, while a curved shaft plow only required one person and one plow, but the grain yield could be increased by 10%."

Lu Xun suddenly stood up and asked, "Is Huisu serious about what he said? Can farming with a curved shaft plow really increase yield by 10%?"

"Why should I hide it from you? If you don't believe me, you can go to the farm on the farm and have a look."

"I have to go take a look, otherwise I would feel uneasy."

Lu Xun said.

The Zhang family's farm was not far away. The two of them went out without taking a car and arrived not long after walking.

At this time, the rice ears have been filled with pulp, and although they are still green, they have begun to droop.

The rice in Zhang's family obviously grows better than elsewhere, and there are more millets on the ears.

Lu Xun walked around the farm and found that it was all the same. Then he stopped and his face lit up with joy. "If this is true, it seems that there is no need to worry about Jiangling's military rations next year."

This curved shaft plow is not only convenient for farming, but also saves animal and manpower. It can even increase grain production. It seems that it should be promoted well back home.

In this way, Jingzhou can become a grain-producing land again, so why worry about the lack of military rations like it did at the beginning of this year?

Thinking of this, Lu Xun secretly thought that if Feng Mingwen of Shu had great literary talent and was good at creating things, that would be all.
