Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Ah Sheng wanted to take a closer look at Cousin Ding, but unexpectedly, Ding Yi had already jumped down from the seat of the ox cart, wrapped the twins in his arms on one side, and said in a mournful voice, "Auspicious, wishful, have you thought about the twins?" Uncle? Has the Cao family ever treated you badly?"

If the hug ceremony in the West has been spread all over the world, then Uncle Ding can be called very enthusiastic, but this is definitely not in line with the etiquette culture of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Song stood aside and coughed vigorously, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

Cousin Ding sternly said with her immature face, "Father, it's time to greet Uncle Cao and the two cousins."

Ding Yi was educated by the eldest daughter, let go of his precious nephew embarrassingly, and greeted him standardly: "Jigao, long time no see, don't you come here okay?"

"Everything is fine at home. Tai'an traveled to Jiaozhou, and it was a hard journey." Cao Song replied with satisfaction. This is the correct way to meet.It was just too scary.

After the adults' ceremony is over, it's the children's turn.

Cousin Ding's etiquette is impeccable, and she can even see her decisiveness in her standard actions: "Hello, my cousins, I am the eldest daughter of my father, you can call me sister, elder sister of the Ding family, Or call me Cheng Ji." Girls can be called by their characters, but they cannot be called by their first names.

Ah Sheng's eyes widened: "My sister has written words, she is an adult."

Cao Cao also has no words, but compared to the naivety and envy that A Sheng deliberately pretended to be, he is more bachelor.Is it amazing to have words? "I am Cao Cao. I am the eldest son of my father. You can call me Cao Cao. This is my second brother Cao Sheng. You can call her A Sheng or Ruyi."

Fuck, why should you be called by your real name? I'm just a nickname mixed with my baby name.Ah Sheng quickly said, "Sister, you'd better call me Erlang. Otherwise...or I'll cry for you."

The future sister-in-law, Ms. Cheng Ji, took a lot of effort to put down the corners of her lips that were raised upwards: "Then let me call you Dalang and Erlang, how about it?"

The twins looked at each other, and the sparks crackled for a while: "Deal."

The greetings at the door of the house came to an end, Cao Song took Uncle Ding to the main hall by himself.The three younger ones followed behind.The native products from Jiaozhou have their own servants to deliver them to the warehouse.

Cousin Ding explained to the twins as she walked: "Auntie was supposed to bring me here to visit, but unfortunately my auntie had an evil wind in her body the day before yesterday, so she had to rest at home today. My second daughter and younger brother are still young, so just in case One also stayed at home."

I have to say that this sister is very caring and thoughtful.According to her narration, Ah Sheng gradually found out the current situation of Ding's family.

Uncle Ding Ding Gong was the governor of Jiaozhou. Because of the poor mountains and bad waters in Jiaozhou, his wife Xiahou stayed at home to raise a few children. This is the aunt that Cousin Ding said.Uncle Ding's family has no shortage of children, and the oldest one is almost ready for the coronation ceremony.In terms of the twins' peers, there is only the youngest son Ding Chong.

"I know about Ah Chong," Cao Cao said, "and played with us a few times. But he doesn't like riding and shooting swords, he is better at reading."

"Don't talk about it, Dalang. Every time A Chong came home with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the boy servant who guarded the gate would say, 'Young Lord, have you played with the young Lords of the Cao family and Xiahou's family again?' He couldn't win the fight, He also foolishly wanted to go out to play, alas, he refused to listen to what his aunt told him several times."

Cao Cao rubbed his nose in embarrassment.Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan became smarter the more they learned. Recently, they also practiced their peers like him. It became more and more difficult to win them in group fights, and they had to constantly develop new routines.The main branch of the Liu family was in Xiao County, and Liu Wei ran back to Xiao County after being scared by Cao Cao.The remaining children of the big family are only an honest man Ding Chong who can be bullied by him.

"I quite like Ah Chong."

Ah Sheng clutched his chest.Every time her brother said the word "like", her conscience would ache.

Fortunately, Cousin Ding had no intention of further blaming her, so she immediately brought the topic back.After talking about Uncle Ding, it's time to talk about the funny Second Uncle Ding.

Ding Yi's original partner passed away after giving birth to only two daughters, namely Cousin Ding and Cousin Ding.Ding Yi did not continue after the death of his first wife, but adopted a two-year-old boy from the family as his heir.There is no mistress, and Uncle Ding is not in a good mood, so the three children have to rely on Mrs. Xiahou of the eldest house.Because of this, Biao Ding knew the reason why the eldest sister was a mother at a young age, and became half of her father's family.

The same is the child of the dead mother.This is something she resonates with the twins.

"Does sister also run a business?" Ah Sheng asked, "Such as cosmetics, spices, and cloth?"

"Erlang also wants to use powder on his face?" Ding Chengji looked at her strangely, "Yes, I do. I'll give you some later. There are not many people in Qiao County who use powder and red makeup, and most of them are cloth and pottery. Yes Yes, my family still makes Caihou paper.”

Ah Sheng blinked and said nothing.For cloth, she has a loom; for pottery, she has white porcelain and celadon; for paper, she has a more mature papermaking method than Cai Lun. emmmmm, fortunately she didn't mass-produce and sell these things on a large scale, otherwise the first unlucky one would be the Ding family in the same county.

This is really a flood that washed the Dragon King Temple.

In this way, if these things are to be sold in the future, it is best to share the profits with the Ding family.Otherwise, no matter how many generations marry, they will become enemies.

She thought about it, she was not so stingy that she didn't give the Ding family priority agency rights in a single region.Besides, if you really want these things to occupy the national market, you must have distributors from all over the country. Thinking about it this way, she felt calm.Looking up, the main hall has also arrived.

Second Uncle Ding waved at her, nodding at the place to start: "Ruyi, come and sit next to Uncle Ding." That was supposed to be Cousin Ding's seat.

Ah Sheng felt helpless towards this uncle.

Ding Yi noticed her hesitation. "Hey, you are so good-looking, why are you as boring as Cheng Ji? Come on, Ji Li sits next to my second uncle." This is to carry through the unruly behavior to the end.

Ah Sheng pulled his cousin's soft little hand: "We are all relatives, and we don't talk about politeness today. My brother will sit with my uncle, and my sister will sit with my father and me."

Cousin Ding nodded, but seemed to glared at Ding Yi after nodding.

Both the host and guest were seated, and Mrs. Hu personally brought people to make tea, and the atmosphere was very happy.Mrs. Hu couldn't help but praise Cousin Ding, which made Ah Sheng a little embarrassed.Although Cousin Ding is much fairer than their biological mother Ding, but the genes are placed there, the facial features are still somewhat similar, with small eyes and a low nose bridge, which is a relatively dull appearance.However, when it came to Mrs. Hu's mouth, it was as if Cousin Ding had become a fairy and descended to earth. This is... a little too much.

Ah Sheng could understand that it was inconvenient to say bad things about his stepson's fiancée from Hu's standpoint, but she just had a toothache.In order to avoid his family's discord, Ah Sheng turned to Uncle Ding to talk about things: "Uncle, is there a wealthy family in Jiaozhou? Uncle is an official in Jiaozhou, but is he squeezed out by the local wealthy family and can't do his best?"

"There are quite a few wealthy families, but those remote wealthy families are far inferior to the rich families in the Central Plains. How dare you disrespect the governor of the great Han Dynasty?" Uncle Ding laughed, "What strange thoughts do you have?"

"As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The farther away you are from Sili, the more rebellious the local forces will be. Am I wrong?"

Ding Yi pondered for a while, and seemed to be recalling carefully: "The barbarians are naturally rebellious, but if you want to say that a truly famous family is humble and learning. I met a talented Shi family in Jiaozhou. Those named Shi Xie and Shi Yi treated everyone generously, and even asked me for "Spring and Autumn Annals."

Ah Sheng frowned: "Uncle, tell me about this Shi family carefully."

Following Ding Yi's narration, Ah Sheng's heart sank little by little.If you are not afraid of local snakes, you are afraid that local snakes are educated.The Shi family has multiplied in Lingnan for many years, with luxuriant branches and leaves, coupled with the eagerness of the children to learn, it is a properly rising family.

She couldn't wait any longer. She looked at Jiaozhou not only because of its species and good port, but also because Jiaozhou was the back of Soochow and Xishu.Ever since she found out that her elder brother is Cao Cao, Ah Sheng has been thinking about what she should do to not lose Cao Cao's advantage, but also to help him reunify in advance.

She is already doing technological development and talent reserve, so what about the geographical advantages?She still has a vague impression of the Three Kingdoms map in high school textbooks. Cao Cao is in the north, the south is divided into two, Liu Bei is in the west and Sun Wu is in the east.The exact dividing line is unknown, but Ah Sheng selected her target based on known information.

The extreme south and extreme north of the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Hainan Island and the three northeastern provinces of later generations should still be out of people's sight, and there is no shortage of minerals in these two places, so they are the best two options for secretly developing industries.And from the perspective of war, if you can occupy Liaodong, you can protect Cao Cao's back; if you can occupy Lingnan, you can attack Shu and Wu in the south.Both Dalian and Haikou are good ports, and the transportation is extremely convenient after lighting up the navigation technology.

In short, in Ah Sheng's plan, there must be at least one in Hainan and Northeast China.

She wants both if she can.

It is easy to pat your head and have a good dream, but you will encounter various difficulties in implementing it.Before she set off, she heard about the stumbling block of the Lingnan Shi family.However, the Ding family had a very good impression of them.

Impressions... good.ok...?

Ah Sheng finished his cup of tea unconsciously.Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, Cao Song and Ding Yi had already chatted about what they considered to be important court affairs. There were rumors from all over the Wuhou's family that the family members were doing evil, but the emperor didn't seem to care about it at all.

"The eunuchs are messing with the government." Cao Song said on his own initiative, "It will also implicate my father's reputation."

Ding Yi also sighed: "We don't have anyone in Luoyang, so what can we do? Even if we let you go back to Luoyang, would you dare to resist Wuhou in person?"

Cao Song sighed one after another.He didn't dare to rebel against Liang Ji at the beginning, and he doesn't dare to rebel against Wuhou now. "Being an official is difficult, and you can only drift with the world."

"Uncle," A Sheng said suddenly, "there is a big island in the south of Jiaozhou, does uncle know?"

"Big Island?"

"It's a huge, huge island, one-third, no, one-fourth of Yuzhou, maybe one-half of Yuzhou."

Ding Yi was amused: "How big is it?"

Ah Sheng was a little bit blind.She has never seen a map of this era, so she can't tell. She can only infer based on the fact that Hainan is a relatively small province: "Smaller than the state, larger than the county, or as large as the county."

She is good-looking, but her frowning face makes people feel distressed.Ding Yi quickly said: "I know what you said, it must be the big island where Zhuya County and Dan'er County are located. The Luoyue people on that island are stubborn and violent, and Zhuya County was established twice. It was abandoned twice. Even the county guard dared not go to the island.”

He said a lot, all of which were names that Ah Sheng could not understand. "If you don't understand, just ignore it. It's just uncle, will you send people to Lingnan this year? Can you put a few servants from my family in the team?"

"What? Are you not satisfied with the local products I brought?"

"Of course I'm satisfied with what my uncle brought to me. It's just that I admire the Lingnan scenery in my uncle's mouth, and I want to go there to play in person when I grow up. Now that I am still young, I will let the servants take the lead for me. If you can help me It would be better to buy a house in a beautiful place first. I just don’t know if the land in Lingnan is expensive or not.”

"Hahaha." Ding Yi pointed at her and said, "Ruyi has a strange ambition! Don't worry, I'll send a letter to ask your uncle to help, and I'll pick you a place with good geomantic omen."
