Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Cao Ang carried a linen schoolbag and brought his younger brother Cao Shuo from the school.The two brothers bid farewell to their master and classmates, and then walked through the urban area of ​​Dalian to Wubao on the mountain.

Passing by a small shop selling cakes, he also paid for a bunch of caramel and a pack of egg rolls.It happened that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had just finished school, and they were also buying food at this shop.

"Brother-in-law, Gongjin." Cao Shuo's eyes lit up like puppies, "Are you here to buy cakes too? This new jujube cake is the sweetest, but it's a pity that brother won't buy it for me."

He called out "brother-in-law" which made Sun Ce blush.

Zhou Yu waved to the second son of the Cao family with a smile, and Cao Shuo hurried to him.Zhou Yu began to snort his head: "Ah Shuo is really like a child."

Congenital deficiencies, developmental delay, are 12 years old, looks like the age of ordinary nine-year-old children.The most important thing is that he has a soft temper, not at all like the domineering son of Cao Qingzhou, nor the nephew of Cao Liaodong, who is wise and close to monsters.

Cao Ang also knew that his younger brother was a wealthy man, so he apologized to Sun Ce in a low voice, "A Shuo has been spoiled by us, don't take it to heart."

Sun Ce shook his head, and bought a box of jujube cake for his brother-in-law: "A Shuo is pure and kind, it's good. I'm happy to pamper you."

Holding the pastry box, Cao Shuo almost jumped into the sky, turned around and sold his sister: "My sister will take a rest tomorrow. Let's say that my grandfather has a cold, and she will definitely come back. Grandpa will definitely help us."

Sun Ce: "No...you don't need it, it's not like I haven't seen it before. Why bother to work on it, my lord."

"Oh." Cao Shuo looked like a little golden retriever whose head had been doused in water, "Then let me deliver the message for you."

Seeing his little friend's face getting more and more embarrassed, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing out loud: "If you want me to say, it's better for Bo Fu to get married and lead the army as soon as possible, so that he can take his wife to the battlefield together."

"Extremely, extremely," Cao Shuo nodded repeatedly, "Men and women are matched, and the work is not tiring. My sister has the title of a small doctor now, and it is also very good to be a military doctor." Oh my god, that elder sister who has been domineering since she was a child It can be regarded as getting married.In the future, no one will pull Baby Ah Shuo's ears again. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.

Cao Ang saw through his younger brother's small thoughts, and patted him on the back calmly.Cao Shuo immediately withered, and went to a big mountain, and another big mountain. Life is so sad, who told him to be born late.Only Ah Pi, who has just learned to speak, can bring him comfort.

Compared with Sun Ce who can consider marrying a wife at the age of 14, the 31-year-old single dog Cao Yu is undoubtedly a sad reminder.

Warm Zhanjiang has beautiful scenery and is rich in seafood.With Cao's establishment of the Fifth Shipyard and Leizhou Port here, the once deserted coast has gradually become the third political center of Jiaozhou mainland, echoing Jiaozhi in the west and Panyu in the east.

Departing from Xuwen in the south of Zhanjiang River, it only takes an hour to reach Haikou County on the South Island by fast boat.There are more than 20 large and small cargo ships traveling between the two sides of the strait every day.The radiation effect of the South Island has made Zhanjiang the fastest-growing area in Jiaozhou in the past two years, and it has also become the permanent residence of Cao Yu, the fifth son of the Cao family.

Now, on a high platform close to Leizhou Port, Ah Sheng was sitting opposite this concubine whom he hadn't seen for a long time.Sitting next to him were Kong Mo and Jiang Ai, who had already turned gray at the temples.Tai Shici was in Panyu, and the scholar family was stationed in Cangwu, so they didn't come.

There were coconut rice and crab meat on the dining table, and Ah Sheng held up the sweet potato liqueur and respected each other one by one: "Everyone has worked hard."

Kong Mo became more and more wealthy, and changed from a mangy dog ​​to an old rascal as he grew older. "What did my lord say? Jiaozhou is rich in products and warm in climate, farmland and fruit forests have been opened up, and marine farming has been established, so there is no need to worry about food and clothing, no worse than in the Central Plains."

Carpenter Ai said succinctly: "It is necessary to open up wasteland, and there is a shortage of people."

Cao Yu bowed to receive the wine: "Second brother, Taishi Ziyi and Nandao Workshop want to conquer the barbarians from the mountains of Yulin County, obtain population and timber, and then go north to Yizhou from Yulin County. But Liu's mother and some The gynecology students were firmly against it. We couldn't agree, so we had to ask the second brother to come here to make a decision."

The former Li children have also grown up and have a place in the South Island system.Compared with outsiders who only see cold interests in their eyes, they have deeper feelings for this land.

"Grandmother Liu... I heard that she built a snake farm in Yulin County, and the barbarians around her respectfully call her Mrs. Snake. She must be living a good life."

"Yu Lin Snake Soup is also a famous product now." Cao Yu said with a smile, "Last month was the season for meat snakes, Yu Lin sent several cages of big snakes, if the second brother is not afraid, I will cook snake soup tonight. "

Ah Sheng nodded in response: "Okay, let's cook snake soup. As for Yu Lin's beating or caressing, I will investigate first before I can decide."

Having said that, Ah Sheng was more inclined to appease him.Yulin County was the territory of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in later generations. Thousands of years later, it will be an area full of autonomous counties. Although genocide can be used now, there is a way of peaceful evolution, and she has no intention of rushing for quick success.

Knock off the thorns and appease the little tribe.Then build the roads into the mountains first, and then mobilize the mountain people to grow herbs, wood, and domesticate wild animals for a living. After economic integration, politics will naturally be integrated.

For Cao Sheng, the most urgent task is to strengthen her control over the south again.It has been seven years since she left Jiaozhou, and the means of showing mercy such as distributing pensions and teaching in schools are no longer enough, blood is needed.

No matter how perfect the system is, it will breed corruption, not to mention Jiaozhou is the real sky high and the emperor far away.A Sheng dressed up as an ordinary scholar, and under the escort of the spy department, began the half-year-long period of searching in disguise.It was not until October that all the case files were completed one by one, and the army assembled and began to work.

In this so-called "Red Xingping" anti-corruption campaign, more than 200 corrupt officials were seized in Jiaozhou, 13 of them were sentenced to death, and hundreds of millions of stolen money were stolen. As a result, more than 20 big and small families declined, and unjust, false and wrong cases were rehabilitated. In more than 800 cases, hundreds of oppressed barbarian tribes surrendered.

After that, Cao Sheng summoned officials from various ministries to divide nature reserves and artificial planting areas in Yulin County, Cangwu County, and Jiaozhi County, and concluded treaties with various Shengman tribes.In December, "Cao's Criminal Law" and "Cao's Civil Law" were promulgated in Panyu, marking Jiaozhou's complete separation from the rule of the Han Dynasty.From then on, wherever the "Cao" flag passed, the people in Lingnan greeted and sent it off with great gifts, just like a king.

Cao Sheng expects to live in Jiaozhou for three years this time, until the enrollment rate of children in Jiaozhou exceeds half, the fiscal deficit is basically smoothed out, and the new laws are basically implemented, before leaving.

In addition, she plans to marry Cao Yu.

The winter sun shines on the white sandy beach, the green coconut trees shake in the sea breeze, and the shells of sea turtles are scattered on the beach, which are the traces left by this summer's breeding season.

This beach is a sea turtle nature reserve, and the hunting season is closed from April to October for sea turtles to lay eggs.Now that the ban is lifted, residents from nearby villages come to pick coconuts one after another. If they are lucky, they can even catch a sea turtle that didn't have time to escape at night.

Grilled turtle meat is a special delicacy here, but it is rare.

Cao Yu has been crowned, but he hasn't grown a beard yet. He is fair and young, and some people believe that he is in his early twenties.

"Mother passed away, I begged a word for you from my father, Shaoze."

Cao Yu bit the mouth of the roasted meat, and sneered, "He actually still remembers my son—Second brother, eat it, this turtle meat is rare."

Cao Sheng waved his hand: "You are the youngest among brothers, so you are called Shao; the head of jade virtue, nourishes and warms. Together, it is called Shaoze, or your father felt that you were treated badly, so it means the lack of grace. It is always a nice word. .”

Cao Yu bowed his head: "I only know that the one who crowned me is the second brother."

Ah Sheng sighed and stopped persuading him, but just put all the barbecue meat on his plate to Cao Yu. "Although turtles live long, it is not easy to give birth. I don't advocate hunting, and I should start by not eating them."

"Second brother is still so gentle." Cao Yu swept away the meat on the plate, and his cheeks puffed up, "You were so decisive in the execution before, it really scared me. That Zeng Bai was a first-year student. The elder of the South Island was beaten from head to toe just because he took a catty of gold from the natives."

"Collection of bribes is the second priority. Covering the chieftain and enslaving the people is a serious crime. I think he didn't know the details, and he was only sentenced to three years of hard labor. He was acting in accordance with the new law. Is there anything wrong?"

"No, no." Cao Yu trembled, "I had a crush on the girl from the scholar's family in Cangwu County, but now I dare not speak out."

Ah Sheng helplessly patted his younger brother on the head: "You already said it. Shi Xie's daughter?"

"No, it's the concubine of Shi Xie's third brother. Her father was punished by you to dig mines just now."

Ah Sheng took a sip of coconut juice to suppress his shock, and then said: "Marry, now the Cao family is the dominant family in Jiaozhou, even if you marry a barbarian female slave, no one dares to say anything. Your father-in-law broke the law, and they just can't restrain you. As long as you If it is not because my wife did something illegal, I will not object."

Cao Yu immediately became happy: "Second brother treats me better. I'll come to propose marriage right now. Qingqing's birth mother died long ago, and she listens to me again. She definitely doesn't dare to get involved with the Shi family in such nonsense."

He jumped out for several meters, then turned back, said mysteriously, "Second brother, just wait to hold your little nephew." Then he ran away quickly.

A Sheng looked at Qin Liu who was following him in surprise: "Yuanfeng, what does he mean?"

Qin Yuanfeng's face was indifferent: "The scholar girl is pregnant."

"Pfft." Ah Sheng quickly drank another sip of coconut juice to suppress his shock, "Get on the bus first and then pay for the fare? Cao Shaoze, you bad boy!"

"Fifth Young Master wanted to marry her as his wife, so he refused to take a concubine. Now that he couldn't hide it, he asked the master."

Ah laughed angrily: "If I didn't agree just now, shouldn't he use the child's matter as a bargaining chip? You bad boy!"

Qin Liu: "It's not easy for a scholar girl, the master will not refuse."

A Sheng looked at him suspiciously, and slowly got the hang of it: "You guys will, you can trick me."

Qin Liu just laughed, and pried open a baked shell and handed it to her: "The master came to Jiaozhou this time, either to eradicate corruption or to legislate, and there is no smile on his face. In fact, Jiaozhou has improved a hundred times compared to before. You pursue perfection so much that you feel bitter about yourself. Now that the fifth young master is having a happy event, isn't it just a matter of time to relax?"

Ah Sheng used a small steel spoon to dig out the shell meat bit by bit, and the delicious taste and the aroma of salt and pepper exploded in his mouth.Jiaozhou is a good place, with open folk customs, simple people, and delicious seafood.
