Chapter 507 194 AD

If you want to say that the biggest feeling of the crusade against the Nanyue Kingdom in 192 AD is that, except for Li Ming, all major forces lost a lot of soldiers, and as a result, there was no way to use troops in 193 AD.

This year can be said to have been spent peacefully. For the common people, there is nothing more precious than peace.The displaced refugees took this opportunity to quickly stabilize and work hard for their future livelihood; the princes also took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and resume production. A year passed without knowing it, and when they came back to their senses, they all sighed with emotion. Time passed quickly.

In 193, as Lu Kang gave up his position as prefect of Lujiang and went south to Wanling, Li Ming couldn't hold him accountable any more, so he tried to comfort him with hypocrisy, which was regarded as sincerity in the eyes of outsiders.

As for the vacated post of Lujiang prefect, the successor not only needs to be capable, but also needs to be loyal.Li Ming discussed with Wang Yu, Guo Jia and others for a long time, and finally appointed Gu Yan as Lujiang prefect and Huang Zhong as Pingbei general.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were transferred to his subordinates, while Xu Huang and Zu Lang moved to Jiangcheng County respectively, and Zhou Tai guarded Dantu's side.

Pang De was appointed as General Pingxi, and Tai Shici, Zhang He and Huang Gai were under his command.

In the past year, both Dong Heng and Peng Die were pregnant, and Xun Cai was also going into labor.Peng Die, who has been married for many years and is now 18 years old, finally experienced the feeling of being a mother for the first time, not to mention how happy she is.Originally lively and lovely, she unknowingly gained a layer of maternal aura; as for Dong Heng, it can only be said that it happened naturally.

During this period, Peng Die's two little girlfriends, who are known as Qiao's sisters in Jiangdong, came to visit from time to time.But he was also looking for an opportunity to float past Li Ming without leaving a trace, leaving wisps of fragrant wind blowing towards his face.

The Qiao family planned to betroth their two daughters to Li Ming as concubines, and he was very clear about this.Jiangdong Erqiao, no matter how lonely and reticent Li Ming was, he would have heard of it, or besides Diao Chan, Erqiao was one of the few historical beauties he could remember.As for the other two, Mi and Sun Shangxiang, one committed suicide by jumping into a well in Changbanpo, and the other married Liu Bei for the alliance of Wu and Shu.

"Patriarch, now the Lu family is spreading everywhere, saying that the patriarch will take two of them as concubines..." Li Ming realized something was wrong when Li You reported this matter.

"What does this matter have to do with the Lu family?" Li Ming asked immediately.

"The Qiao family is attached to the Lu family. I'm afraid that from the very beginning, Er Qiao went south to meet Madam Die by chance and become a best friend. It was a deliberate arrangement by the Lu family. As for the purpose, I'm afraid it is the same as the Gu family. They plan to use Er Qiao to get online with the head of the family. If it is If this is the case, then the Patriarch will not accept the two of them for a long time, and I am afraid that the Lu family will understand that the Patriarch does not want to marry them, and that Lu Kang has taken refuge in the court, or he has the intention of probing!" Li You sorted out the information during this period, probably came to this conclusion.

"In the end, Lu Kang took refuge in the imperial court, or was it because of my relationship?" Li Ming couldn't laugh or cry, who knew the situation like this?
"Patriarch, it's not an option to continue procrastinating... You are the lord of Jiangdong now. Apart from you, no one in Jiangdong would dare to marry Er Qiao. The actions of the Lu family may not have the intention of letting the patriarch make a decision earlier. "Li You reminded.

"What the fuck..." Li Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had always avoided marriages with aristocratic families, especially Jiangdong's established families. Among other things, he refused even the Yu family's proposed marriage.

In the end, they went back to the old way of marriage.

A month later, Li Ming first visited Mr. Qiao to propose marriage, and the latter did not put on airs, but called Er Qiao to ask what they meant.Er Qiao had no relationship with Li Ming, only thought that he could be entrusted to him for the rest of his life, so he nodded shyly.

Just like that, a table of wine was set up in a daze, and Er Qiao was taken as a concubine by Li Ming, and he greeted Xun Cai the next day after marriage, and he was considered to have officially entered the Li family.

As for Li Ming, to be honest, he also puts a lot of emphasis on marriage and relationships. Jiangdong Erqiao became his concubine, and he was a little excited for no reason.Simply comfort yourself, in this era, women are used to clinging to powerful men, so why be hypocritical? !
On the second day after the marriage, Li Ming stayed with Xun Cai for several days, and it was impossible for Xun Cai to have intercourse when she was pregnant.Many people can see that most of Li Ming's love is given to Xun Cai, which is also the fundamental reason why the latter can tolerate Li Ming's concubines.

In the first half of 193 AD, the pepper was successfully cultivated. Li Ming called some of his confidant subordinates and divided the seeds.Some people like this thing and some people hate it. They like spicy hot pot and have never been spicy or disliked since then, but some people avoid it like ghosts and gods.The promotion is not so fast, but the promotion as a medicine is very fast, especially in many plasters, this thing is used.

During this period of time, Li Ming used part of the keel and blood crystal to conduct experiments, and roughly knew the characteristics of the two materials, and then reforged a long sword with bone jade, iron, blood crystal, and keel.

Perhaps due to the influence of blood crystals, the blade of the long sword turned red and cut iron like mud. It took Li Ming more than a month to build it. Li Ming named it "Blood Soul Slash" based on the color of the blade. will sword.

Blood Slashing Sword: Force +20 points, Defense Break +25%, Crit Rate +30%, Durability 1500/1500.

The defense breaking rate and critical strike rate come from its sharpness, which is even higher than that of the guts-breaking army gun. Ordinary armor can be split directly with a sword, and even the body of the enemy can be split in half.

The rest of the material is made of dragon scales and skins of dragon scales as the main material. The scales are light but extremely strong. The hardness of each piece is even higher than that of fine steel, making the armor even stronger Incomparable.

It happened to be the day when the weapons and armor were finished, and Li Ming's second son, Li Ling, was born. This was the third son of Li Ming's family.At this time, Li Chong was already the eldest son, and his status could be said to be very stable.

In order to celebrate his sister's pregnancy, Peng Hu expanded his sphere of influence to the entire Nanhai County in the autumn of 193. Li Ming appointed him as the governor of Nanhai County, and Cui Yan was appointed as the county magistrate to assist him.

The position of Guiyang County is very embarrassing at this time, the north and south are surrounded by Changsha County and Nanhai County respectively.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Ming will definitely use troops against Guiyang, so Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, can only strengthen his military equipment on the one hand, and on the other hand write a letter to Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, crying.

Liu Biao lost the general Wang Wei and his nephew Liu Pan this year, and he has not had time to recover.Seeing the appeal letter written by Zhao Fan, a mouthful of old blood spewed out, angrily scolded: "Li Ming is so despicable!"

Originally, they had planned to take back Nanhai County next year, but now, Li Ming took the lead!Liu Biao was angry and planned to use troops against Changsha County. As a result, the Jiangling fleet in Jingzhou was attacked by Gan Ning when they were crossing the river, and almost took Zhang Yun into it. Arrow, almost lost children and grandchildren.

Liu Biao suddenly found out sadly that even crossing the river to fight had become an extravagant hope, and they were immediately trapped in Nanjun and Jiangxia counties. The Jingnan four counties had already been separated, and they could only rely on themselves to take care of themselves.

For a while, the prefects of the remaining three counties in Jingnan were in a state of panic all day long.However, Li Ming did not have any plans to go on an expedition this year, so the prefect of the three counties had been nervous for several months. With the arrival of the Spring Festival in 194 AD, he relaxed a little.

In the last three months of last year, printing and papermaking techniques were further improved, and the cost of books dropped by another [-] percent. The number of printed books has reached the level where ordinary people can buy a copy even if they bite their teeth.A large number of books are flooding the market. Unless the common people are really numb enough to accept their fate, they will find a way to buy three books and read them back.

Why three books?It can only be said that when they are hesitant, the buddies of the book store will tell them that if they want to learn to read characters, the first thing they need is three books, namely "Erya Vernacular Phonetic Edition" and "Hanyu Pinyin" and Punctuation Marks.The latter two books can be said to be buy one get one free, so people don't mind buying them.

If you are doing business at home, or doing a small business, you will also recommend the popular science book "Elementary Mathematics".There are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculation methods and Li's numbers, as well as the bead algorithm. The bookstore also sells the abacus, a calculation tool invented by Li Ming. It is much more convenient to count.

Only "Erya Vernacular Zhuyin Edition" is the most expensive, and the whole book needs [-] words to sell.However, most of the commonly used words are processed in vernacular culture, and pinyin is also marked at the same time. Those who really like to learn can still get it down.

After that, whether it is "The Analects of Confucius" or "Spring and Autumn", or even "The Book of Songs" or other books, you can always understand it when you read it slowly.Not to mention, Li Ming also plans to publish "The Analects of Confucius Zhuyin Edition" and "Chunqiu Zhuyin Edition".

According to inside information, Li Ming even planned to compile "The Analects of Confucius in Vernacular Edition" and other books, but was threatened with death by Wang Yu, so he temporarily gave up this idea.

In the second half of 193, in Wujun, Kuaiji, Danyang, Yuzhang, and Changsha counties, there appeared many scholars who claimed to be poor, but in fact they were just ordinary people.They took out these three books, accepted apprentices in the villages and cities to teach them, helped them enlightenment, made a lot of money, and gradually formed a profession.

And because there are too many of these people, the aristocratic families from all over the world can't stop them, so they can only let them go.On the other hand, they kept an eye on Li Ming at the source. As long as he dared to print "XX in Vernacular Version", he would immediately come out and smash it.

"The world is so ignorant, but that's all..." Li Ming just laughed when he heard about this.

His original intention was to promote enlightenment education, and the next step was to run rural schools by the government. With the prevalence of enlightenment education, rural schools became less conspicuous.As for "The Vernacular Version of XX", he certainly knew that it was not feasible, but without this in front of him, how could the aristocratic family let go of Meng Xue?

Agriculture, commerce, education, industry, and even navigation were all gradually improved in 193, and all gained some gains.

In a blink of an eye, 193 years passed, and the time came to 194 AD...

After a year of self-cultivation, the princes from all over the country recovered a little bit of vitality, and the three main forces, Taishan Bandit, Black Bandit and Lu Bu, began to germinate their ambitions for external expansion.

At the beginning of this year, Hao Lang left Tianmu Mountain and came to Wanling, where he handed over a famous stab to the concierge of Li's residence and came to pay a visit.

 Yes, the harem is open... Please collect, recommend, subscribe, and reward!

  In addition, the official positions have been revised. Zhengbei and Zhengxi have been changed to Pingdong and Pingxi, otherwise the promotion will be a bit faster. In addition, the guard in Changsha was replaced by Pound. The original position of Pound was replaced by Xu Huang, because Xu Huang's subordinates It's cavalry, and it can't be used in the Jingnan area... I just discovered this BUG.
