The first-time southbound team is definitely top-level configuration:

The three craftsmen, including Jiang Ai, led a young apprentice who was later known as the "Father of Geology" Chen Shi;

Even if the map is a rubbing and abridged version, it is still classified, so Yan Wen is responsible for it personally;

The medical team is the muscular women's group led by Liu Shi;

The guard team is the elite left by Cao Teng to Ah Sheng. Among them are six "first-term students" who have reached the age of 13, including the earliest group leaders Nian Qi and Qin Liu. Besides practicing martial arts, they are also responsible for collecting records of species and customs. ;

And the position of "messenger" who does not know whether it will be used is the most difficult to choose.Uncle Qing was nearly 50 years old. Although he was not unable to withstand the long journey, Ah Sheng did not dare to let him make any mistakes; and the rest were either women or children.After picking and choosing, I finally chose Tian Dalang, the oldest child among all the children - Tian Niu, who is 15 years old this year.

After the summer harvest of this year, they brought sufficient dry food, medicinal materials, tools and money, and set off with the Ding family's new year gift team to Ding Palace, following the direction of the sun's direct rays.When we arrived in Lingnan, it happened that the local climate was suitable and the miasma was mild in winter, which gave people in the north enough time to adapt to the southern climate.

Kong Mo belatedly discovered that he had been excluded from the expedition team.

"My lord was clearly considering sending me to the Jiaozhou scholar's house before." Both the hydraulic loom and the hydraulic mill started to work, and it was only when Kong Mo came to his senses.The dignified second master was spitting on the training ground of the other courtyard: "Mo has been here for less than two years, so the master does not trust Mo. As the master of the master, he should 'do not doubt the employing person, and do not use the suspecting person'..."

Under the autumn sun, Ah Sheng was riding a pony while strolling and shouting: "Don't blame me, it's you who said you want to study hydraulic machines."

Kong Mo was so annoyed that he slapped his thigh straight, and shouted to A Sheng across the air: "My lord, I will play it next time, don't forget me."

Ah Sheng ran up to him on horseback.The yellow sand kicked up by the maroon pony almost smeared Kong Mo's face.Ah Sheng, dressed in a beard, jumped off his horse and held out his hand to him.

Kong Mo whispered again: "Although the host can show intimacy by stretching out his hand to the diners, he is not majestic enough. And with the host's stature, he can't bear my weight, so it's fine if he doesn't get pulled down by me."

Ah Sheng withdrew his hand: "You can't afford it?"

"Get up!" Kong Mo hurriedly jumped up, patting the dust on his buttocks.

Luo Chi handed the water bottle to A Sheng, and the machine-made linen towel to Kong Mo: "Mr. Kong, wipe your hands. The master said that I have something to tell you today."

"Is it a new textbook again?" Kong Mo said bitterly, "The force of electromagnetism is too difficult. I need to do some 'experiments' to understand it."

"Electromagnetism and heat were all accidentally mixed in by me. It's fine if you don't learn it..."

"That's impossible, if you encounter Baoshan on your way, you won't enter..." Kong Mo stared.

"But," Ah Sheng led Kong Moluochi through the three gates, walked along the small bridge to the semi-artificial lake in the other courtyard, "I want you to build a boat."

"Uh, boat?"

"Yes, a big ship that can sail. Otherwise, why would I ask you to learn buoyancy and gravity? There is also the force decomposition of the sail. I don't know much about the structure of a sailboat, so I can't give you a blueprint. I only have a general idea. Please trouble Mister first made a model and tested it in this small lake."

Kong Mo didn't feel troubled at all, instead he was more excited: "Is my lord going to sea to find Xianshan? Oh, my lord has found the right person for shipbuilding. I once competed with the boatmen in Jiangling. The shipbuilding skills are the best, but I dare not say that I go to sea lightly! When I build a high-speed ship, I will be famous all over the world!"

"Don't be famous all over the world." Ah Sheng interrupted him, "I'm still young, and I can't bear the fame." As she said, she was fascinated by looking at the blast furnace-like ruins in the middle of the lake.Both Carpenter Ai and Aji left, and the smelting experiments in the other courtyard have come to a complete standstill, and the production process of sulfuric acid has not yet matured.There are never enough people.

"Mr. Kong, if I... leave Qiao County, the school will depend on you to maintain it. Don't be too arbitrary."

Her tone was full of the heavy chill like the autumn wind, even Kong Mo was infected by her emotion, restrained his expression and bowed: "Promise, I will live up to my trust."

Ah Sheng wanted to leave Qiao County.

From the internal cause, both she and her brother had to receive further education.How much knowledge can be learned is another matter. In the era when public opinion (inspection and deliberation) controls the field, connections and prestige are very important, and the reputation of a prodigy is the easiest type of prestige to earn.Having a good reputation among scholars, and having a group of friends with the same reputation is the only way for eunuchs to break into the scholar class.

The external cause is the intensified house fight in the Cao family's old house.Mrs. Hu entered the early pregnancy mode, and Cao Song took in several concubines. According to Mrs. Li, Cao Cao's wet nurse, Mrs. Hu was not the only pregnant woman in the house.In addition, several uncles in the second bedroom of the eldest room also have wives and concubines, and they chatter all day long.

What's worse is that Cao De has also reached the age of enlightenment.Cao Yu sneaked away to study in another courtyard, so what about Cao De?Ah Sheng didn't have any malice towards Cao De himself, but her father's hesitation made her feel a little nauseous.On the other hand, Cao Cao looked like he was at odds with Cao De. Although he didn't remember much when Mrs. Ding was there, he inexplicably remembered his dislike for Cao De.

I can't spend it with them anymore, Cao Cao's adolescence can't be spent in this environment.

Once it comes to education, Ah Sheng Xueba forgets about Cao Cao's life trajectory and so on.Anyway, she didn't know exactly what Cao Cao's life trajectory was like.

"Father has been filial piety for ten months. Is there any news about the imperial court's recruitment?" A Sheng sat in front of Cao Song's desk.The smoke rising from the incense burner adds a lot of elegance to the study surrounded by bamboo slips and cloth.

Cao Song twirled his beard and said, "If the money is used properly, there will naturally be a suitable position. Coupled with the recommendation of Zhong Hao, one of the three princes, there will be news about this winter. It's just the power of the five princes." Huge, it is better for me not to hold real power and occupy an important position."

"Has the emperor gradually started to use the old Liang party?"

Cao Song got up and took a plate of pears from the shelf, put them on the table, and said to A Sheng, "You know again. Eat."

Ah Sheng thanked his father with a smile, then he held a big pear and listened to Cao Song while biting it.What Zhang Huan was appointed as Zhonglang General, I guess he will be released if there is another rebellion next year; what good friend Zhang Wen has also recovered again, but the position is relatively low, it is equivalent to returning to the pre-liberation overnight, and needs to fight again , it's all because the background is not strong enough; and the tumbler old man Hu finally climbed back to the position of Jiuqing, too often!

"It's good as it is now. But if the old Liang family wants to turn over completely, Wuhou must really fall."

Cao Song had already developed the habit of explaining government affairs to A Sheng. In the whole family, only A Sheng liked to listen to these things the most, and he often had unique insights.

"The Holy One doesn't like one party to dominate. Therefore, if you want to perish, be crazy first."

Cao Song clapped his hands and said, "Exactly. Being an official should be cautious. No matter how high your position is, you must be cautious, humble, and be kind to others. It's a pity that Wuhou's family suddenly gained power, so they can't see this clearly."

"I came to see my father today, but it wasn't about Wuhou's affairs."

"Oh?" Cao Song handed the second pear to his daughter, "I thought you were just bored, so I told you about current affairs."

"I want to go out to study with my brother. Does my father have a good place to go?"

Cao Song was surprised when he heard this: "Although you are precocious, you are not comparable to ordinary children. But it is still too early to talk about studying abroad. People in those days had to wait until they reached the age of 14 to perform the crowning ceremony, and no matter how bad they were, they had to wait until [-]. Aged into a child."

"Father, don't worry, please listen to me. It's not that I'm underestimating myself. Our family has a shallow foundation and is not as good as an aristocratic family. Children from aristocratic families have a long history of family education. "Teach young children. On the other hand, in our family, the most educated is my father, who has been in the imperial school for two years. But my father is about to become an official, and it is not easy to survive in the cracks between eunuchs and scholars. I think he has no time to teach us. As for Uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, to put it bluntly, I’m afraid they haven’t seen the complete classics and history. I discussed with my brother, riding horses and hunting all day, or playing with children, wasting time, and the future is just a playboy My son, it’s better to rely on Wu Yong and the contacts left by my father and grandfather to get an official position, but what good will this do for my own growth?"

Cao Song tapped a few cases with his index finger. "My son is studious and diligent, far better than me. According to the regulations of our dynasty, the descendants of high officials and dignitaries can rely on their father's cover to recommend them to the Imperial Academy for official careers. Therefore, there are many illiterate talents and filial piety who treat their parents badly." Lian, compared with these crooked melons and cracked dates, my son must be promising in the future. You and your elder brother, as well as Ade and Ayu, are all good boys."

Ah Sheng held his breath and concentrated, but didn't speak.Exaggeration is exaggeration, what about the substantive results?

"Peiguo has a collection of books, only the Liu family in Xiao County. Although they are a clan, they treat others with respect. They are neighbors from the same town, and they are a bit thin-skinned. What do you think?"

Liu family?Ah Sheng thought of Liu Wei who was bullied by Cao Cao like a passer-by.It's not that she underestimated the Liu family because of the concubine Liu Wei, but that she didn't want to have too much involvement with the Liu clan.

"I want to be a little further away from Peiguo."

"What's the meaning of this? It's the first time you leave home, isn't it better to be closer?" Cao Song sensed something was wrong, "But it's not good for someone to treat you at home?"

Ah Sheng sat upright, trying not to bring too much emotion into his words: "I have something to say to my father. The day before yesterday, a beautiful maid stole into Brother's yard, and was caught by the guards beside Brother. I reported it to my mother. My mother reprimanded her, but she hesitated and did not drive her away from the mansion."

Cao Song frowned: "What do you mean?"

"My mother is upright and kind, and she is a blessing from heaven to me and brother. But I heard that even a gentleman can't get along with people day and night without conflicts. After my mother became pregnant, she was sensitive and thoughtful. I was worried. If we stay any longer, it will hurt our friendship with our mother."

Cao Song sighed, "I see. When I take office and leave Qiao County, I will arrange a place for you."
