Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

The exquisite carriage turned its Gulu Gulu wheels, leading a team of 200 soldiers, swaggering across Danyang County and Wu County, all the way east, until it reached the extreme east of Kuaiji County.

They either played the banner of the Lu family, or pretended to be distant relatives of the Gu family, or pretended to be offshoots of the Zhu family. It is also difficult for the servants of Zhang, Quan, He and other powerful families to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Bofu's future wives are not easy." Zhou Yu sighed, "Cao's family is originally from Yuzhou commoners and flourished in Luoyang Palace, but they know everything about Jiangdong's nobles."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce boasted that they were half-adults, and they were wary for several days at first, but when they saw that the carriage was going all the way to the east instead of the west where Yuan Shu was, they gradually calmed down.

In particular, they passed through Qiantang County, Wu County, where Mrs. Wu's natal family was.The Cao family general named Qin Liu also suggested that Mrs. Wu go home to visit relatives.Mrs. Wu declined: "I don't want to implicate my family." Besides, her parents died early, and she didn't have many relatives.

Qin Liu asked the little girls from the spy department to pick several kinds of herbs from Qiantang County, transplant them into small clay pots, and put them in the carriage as decorations.Whenever he wants to improve his favorability, he can really be meticulous.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wu accepted his affection, and the relationship between the two parties eased down, and some things could finally be asked.

"May I ask the general, are we going to Qingzhou? Why do we continue to go east, and further on is Yongdong, the place of exile in the sea." She was sitting in the sheltered carriage at this time, holding her arms in her arms. Little Sun Yi, who was sleeping soundly, leaned on the lap of little Sun Quan who was rolling coquettishly.An ocher-red duvet was covering her legs, which was light and warm.

Qin Liu rode his horse and replied from the half-open window: "Ma'am, the Central Plains is now in a state of war, so let's go by sea."

Sun Ce said it was difficult to understand: "There are many winds and waves on the sea, and it is impossible to discern the direction, and there is a risk of being stranded."

"Sun Lang is right, but our family is not afraid." Qin Liu raised the corner of his mouth, "We have traveled this route for 18 years, and there are more than [-] sailings every year. The 'Dingyuan' on duty this time is another The big ship that has been in service for three years is very stable."

It's an understatement to say it's a big ship. Both "Dingyuan" and "Zhiyuan" are giant building ships with a length of more than 90 meters. Excluding the isolation cabin at the bottom, they can be divided into seven floors.When the huge mast showed its appearance from behind the barren island, Zhu Zhi, who was well-informed, felt shocked.

A ramp of wide planks ran from the pier to the high deck.And the poorly dressed civilians are delivering fresh water to the boat.Countless sailors are either observing the weather on the top of the mast, or pulling the sails, or checking the hull in the water, performing their duties.

"Madam, Sun Lang, Zhou Lang, please." Qin Liu asked the carriage to be transported onto the boat first, and then made an invitation gesture.

Little Sun Quan's eyes widened: "We... shall we sit here?"

"Xiao Langjun, let's sit here."

"It's...so high. It's the first time I've seen such a big ship." He was the first to run on the deck and waved to his mother excitedly.

Sun Quan, get.Qin Liu showed a satisfied smile: "Ma'am, the southerly wind has blown these two days, and the weather is good. The old boatmen said it is suitable for traveling. Let's go with the wind, and we can reach Qingzhou in half a month. From Donglai to Liaodong, It’s just another three days’ voyage.”

Madam Wu turned around and looked into Qin Liu's eyes: "General, who is your subordinate? Cao Mengde has only occupied Qingzhou for a year, and there is no time to build such a big ship."

"I am the retainer of Cao Sheng, Cao Zhonghua." Qin Liu straightened his back, "Once upon a time in Luoyang, there was a child prodigy of the Cao family, who was three years old and was my lord."

"I've heard of it." Mrs. Wu said slowly, "Ten years ago, "Cao's Arithmetic" was circulated across the country, and later "Cao's Commentary" became famous all over the world, named Cao Xue. It turns out..."

"My lord has lived in seclusion overseas for many years, and there are many sea ships. Although 'Dingyuan' is a bit bigger, it is not surprising."

Qin Liuzhuang's coercion was accurately received by everyone in the Sun family.Show off your strength, show off your wealth, someone in our Cao family has money and technology, and now we want to accept you as a younger brother, what do you say?

"Why did the Cao family fall in love with our little Sun family?" Mrs. Wu asked bitterly.

Qin Liu was surprised: "This is the marriage between Meng Degong and Wentaigong, and now it's just keeping the promise. Does Madam think that because Wentaigong died, the Cao family will regret the marriage? That's too underestimating the integrity of the Cao family." Now, from the elders to the young girls, they are all looking forward to meeting their in-laws in Liaodong. Although Qingzhou is busy with the war, Mr. Meng De may promise to marry his daughter within two years. I don’t know, but there is something wrong with us. , to make Madam worry?"

"I want to borrow troops from Cao Gong to attack Yuan Shu and avenge my father!" Sun Ce shouted, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"Borrowing soldiers is not something I can decide." Qin Liu's voice seemed to have a magical power, which made people want to believe him, "But there must be a battle between the Cao family and Yuan Shu. Both Meng Degong and the master value Sun Lang, Sun Lang...you can handle it yourself."

The sea breeze blows, and the wind carries the warmth from the south.Seabirds circled around the mast, making distant calls. The majestic figure of the "Dingyuan" painting fence surrounded the Sun family members, like a giant beast gradually showing its fangs to the Central Plains.

This is the crystallization of hundreds of thousands of people struggling on the barren island.

The Sun family went north by boat very smoothly, not even encountering a small storm.The bigger the boat, the more stable it is. Many times, the Sun family can't feel the bumps.If you stay in the room, it is the same as on the shore.

The happiest was little Sun Quan, who ran up and down the cabin like a small cannonball.Great adventure, great adventure, this era has never seen a seven-story building on land, not to mention the functional areas such as the kitchen, restaurant, martial arts training ground, and lectures on the ship are like a new world to children .

The head cook is the daughter-in-law of the captain's family.The fat old woman especially likes Sun Quan and always secretly feeds him milk cakes.After floating on the boat for more than ten days, Sun Quan gained a lot of weight.

As for Zhou Yu, he cannot extricate himself from the small library.The books Ah Sheng put on board were printed paper.The complete set of "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Historical Records", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn Annals" are double-annotated editions by Cao Sheng and Zheng Xuan. Textbooks and medical general knowledge books.

Zhou Yu read it without sleep or food for more than ten days, but still only finished one volume of Spring and Autumn, and when he got off the boat, he still held two books and refused to put them down. "Yu wants to borrow a book."

Qin Liu rejected him coldly: "Zhou Lang, Dalian also has a library, they are all the same."

"really?"

"really."

So Zhou Yu stepped out of the cabin and saw the busy Dalian Port in spring.There are twelve high and low sea ships docked on the hundreds of meters long coastline, densely packed cargo boats are constantly coming and going, and there are more fishing boats of fishermen, distributed on the other side of the port.The hull is painted with red paint, a military ship with the "Cao" flag flying, and the bow is wrapped with an iron horn, cruising around the harbor.

The sun had already slanted to the west, and the lighthouse on the mountain was shining brightly, shining on the bustling and clean harbor city like a second sun.

"This... this is..."

"Welcome to Dalian Port under the rule of Duke Hua." The dock manager issued a business-like welcome speech to the Sun family, "Please register and enter the country."

Qin Liu took the initiative to take a step forward, showing the token of the spy department. "Under the master's order, escort the Sun family in Jiangdong and take us through the green passage."

The steward immediately changed his face, and bowed respectfully: "It turns out that after Sun Wentai, the prefect of Changsha, the master has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."

They went another way and parted ways with the refugees who got off the other docks.Little Sun Quan turned his head frequently: "Why don't they enter the city like us?"

The steward bowed: "Xiao Langjun, they have gone to the port quarantine area to register."

Zhou Yu felt that he encountered more new things along the way than in his entire life: "What is a quarantine area?"

"It's a medical center. When these refugees enter the country, there are doctors who give free medical consultations. If there is an epidemic disease, they cannot enter the city until it is cured. In order to prevent the epidemic disease from flowing into Liaodong, the master invested a lot of manpower and medicinal materials. Everyone Distinguished guests, after entering the Wubao Hospital, doctors will come to your door, so you don’t need to queue up in the quarantine area to see a doctor.”

Han Dang lowered his face: "Is this because we are worried that some of us will be infected with the disease?"

"I also want to be quarantined." Qin Liu said directly.

The steward replied calmly, "Even the master himself, every time he returned from the Central Plains, he had to receive medical treatment. Once upon a time, the master occasionally caught a cold when he entered Hong Kong, and he stayed in the quarantine area for seven days."

Madam Wu suddenly asked, "Do you live with Qianshou?"

The steward smiled slightly: "Naturally."

"This Cao Zhonghua, Master Cao, is strict with himself. He is the character of the Legalists."

Zhou Yu agreed with this: "I read Cao's annotation "Spring and Autumn" on the boat, and I found that it is the strength of legalism. Zhonghua Gong said: It is more lenient than legislation and stricter than law enforcement. , is the law of violence. From the pre-Qin period to the present, Legalism has been criticized by others, because the law of violence is used to please the superior, while the law of benevolence is rare to protect the people. It is really refreshing."

Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Zhonghua is well-known in school and has extraordinary knowledge. If there is an open door to teach students..."

"The master advocates that students learn from others' strengths, so she has never formally accepted apprentices. But she teaches 24-hour lectures in Dalian Secondary School every year, and there are many attendees." The steward said while showing envy, "now the master is busy, The class hours are compressed, and the class was canceled the year before last because of the discussion about Dong Zhan. When it comes to being taught by her personally, even Mr. Cao Ang is not as good as the first-year students."

Zhou Yu rubbed his temples: "What is a first-year student?"

The steward smiled. "If Zhou Lang is admitted to a secondary school in the spring of this year, his number will be the thirteenth class. The previous class of students studied with his master. When the master was young, whenever he learned something from reading, he would teach it to the clever servants and Luo at home. Poor children in the neighborhood of Yang Township. Later, a total of 72 people followed her after learning, and they regarded themselves as the first students of the master, so they are called first-class students." He said here, pointing to Qin Liu, "Qin Guanshi, is First-year students."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce thought of Qin Liu's indisputable camouflage, and couldn't help being in awe: "It turns out that he is a disciple of Duke Zhonghua, and we were the ones who disrespected him before."

Qin Liu laughed twice, looking like a kind elder: "If there is no master, I'm just a beggar in the Luoyang market. How dare I call myself a disciple? It's a gift to be a famous retainer."

"A hero doesn't care about his background." Sun Ce patted his chest, "My family is also of a low background, so I was criticized by others, but my father just relied on his own military achievements to become the prefect of a county. If it wasn't for Yuan Shu, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu's thief..."

He originally wanted to comfort Qin Liu, but his eyes turned red as he spoke.

Zhou Yu hurriedly handed a handkerchief to his friend, but Sun Ce blew his nose when he took it.

Zhou Yu: ...

Qin Liu hooked the corner of his mouth. "Dear guest of the Sun family, Wubao has arrived. After everyone settles down, it's time for Liu to say goodbye."

Compared with the shock brought by Dalian Port, Caojiawu Fort in the setting sun is extremely low-key. It is hidden behind several blue high walls, almost blending with the mountains and forests.Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, one on the left and one on the right, supported Mrs. Wu and walked into the unrecognizable fate line.

The author has something to say: In my setting, with the disintegration of the central rule of the Han Dynasty, the term "gongzi" gradually spread, and it is no longer limited to the sons of Gongqing, but can also be used to refer to the sons of separatist princes.So Cao Ang is called "Mr. Cao Ang" here, and Cao Cao has never been a minister, he is a prefect.

In real history, the downgrading of "gongzi" began in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it completely flooded after the Tang and Song Dynasties.
