"Ai, Liu, and Twenty-seven bowed their heads. The master is above, and I hope everything is well... Now Haikou Town has been established at the former site of Zhuya County, and a thousand acres of rice fields have been restored. The first season of rice has also been sown. There are five senior managers in the town. , 16 guards, 490 artisans, six gynecologists, 120 eight acquainted farmers, and 14 indigenous people. If the typhoon damage is included in the calculation, it is expected to become self-sufficient this winter... There are 48 children under the age of [-], and Haikou Elementary School has been set up, which is based on the old system..."

Ah Sheng was sitting on the bullock cart from Qiao County to Yingchuan at this time. After reading the letter, he put it in his cuff.

"A letter from the south? What a thick letter." Cao Song asked her.

"En. The rebellion has been quelled. We have killed two nurses and injured two gynecologists." Ah Sheng didn't have much joy on his face, "I can't go to Jiaozhou myself, it's not safe."

"You, you are still not used to being the master." Cao Song put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and taught his daughter, "A man who controls people doesn't need to do everything himself, and risk himself. If you have an idea, ask the people below to help you. Just do it, and it is their duty to do things to your satisfaction."

A Sheng smiled and changed the subject: "A Shi said that the latest batch of agarwood is already on the way. It is expected to arrive in Yuzhou next month. Father should send someone to meet it."

"Okay!" Cao Song's eyes lit up when he mentioned things related to getting rich, "Jewelry and spices from the south are huge profits. I think you want to take root there and do this business for a long time. The land way is a little bit different. Not worth it."

"Father meant to go by water? From the Guohe River to the Huaihe River to the sea, and then from the sea to Jiaozhou, it is theoretically feasible." In the Eastern Han Dynasty before the Yellow River seized the Huaihe River and entered the sea, the Huaihe River still had certain conditions for sailing as an independent river.Only in this way, it is necessary to set up a stronghold at the mouth of the Huaihe River, where small river boats will be replaced with large sea boats.The sad thing is that at this time, the outlet of the Huaihe River is in Guangling County, Xuzhou, and there are no nearby islands that Ah Sheng can develop with peace of mind.

While thinking, Ah Sheng slowly said: "The hydrology of the Huaihe River is unknown, and most of the aristocratic families along the way are unfamiliar to us. The cost of opening up the sea route is too high. I would rather take a long way around, first go to the Yellow River by land, and then enter the sea from Qingzhou. The women's medical hall in Qingzhou is developing well, and the convoys and fleets that exchange materials every year have already stepped on the route. Now it's just an extra step into the sea."

"From Qingzhou to the sea, will the route be too long?"

Qingdao, Weihai, Zhoushan Islands, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Hainan in Shandong. Although this route is long, every point on it is still an undeveloped desert island or a small fishing village.Now there is no large-scale war in the Central Plains, and the inland is safer than the sea; but when Dong Zhuo is out of trouble, the overseas bases and sea roads that are completely under his control are more reassuring than anything else.

Ah Sheng slowly made a note in her heart: two years later, if the population of Hainan Island can exceed [-] and the steel production can be on the right track, she will send Kong Mo back to Qingzhou to build ships.

Bullock carts slowly step into Yingchuan in spring.

There have been no major disasters in the past two years, so the spring planting scene seen along the way is secretly hopeful.No matter whether it is a wealthy family or a poor tenant farmer, they all look forward to such a day as long as the Guozuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Song's motorcade took her all the way to the prefect's mansion in Yangdi, and then continued west to Luoyang to sell her spring break.In Cao Song's words, he is very leisurely now, and the most important thing to do every day is to reduce his sense of presence, so as not to let the eunuch group, which dominates the sky, notice him.

It was already mid-February when Ah Sheng returned to the Xun family's old house.As soon as I entered the door, I found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

"But I didn't come at the right time?" She asked Xun You who came out to greet her.

Xun You seems to have grown taller after a year, and looks like a young adult.He pulled Ah Sheng's sleeve and whispered as he walked through the hall, "There is something wrong. After you become an eunuch, you have to be careful."

"Eunuch?" Ah Sheng frowned, "But what did the five princes do? Ah, I forgot that now there is only one prince missing, and there are only four princes."

There was sarcasm in her tone, and Xun You could hear it, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Ah Sheng also said that the sixth uncle has a poisonous tongue, and you will make people angry if you say it yourself."

At this time, they had already reached the corridor leading to the water pavilion where Xun Shuang lived, and saw Xun Yan, who was already an adult, walking towards him. "Ah Sheng, I'm going to pick you up. If there are ignorant servants who gossip in front of you, don't be as knowledgeable as they are."

Ah Sheng blinked: "The Xun family has a good family style, and there are no servants who gossip in front of me. So, what happened?"

Xun Yan and Xun You looked at each other.

"Five lords, no, one of the four lords is from Yingchuan, do you know?"

This topic was a bit off topic, and Ah Sheng searched his mind several times before digging out the relevant knowledge from the corners. "Tang... Heng? I remember he is from Yan County, Yingchuan. I saw him on my uncle's banquet list."

Xun Yan said angrily: "It is this eunuch who failed to get married with Fu Gongming and relied on my younger brother."

Wait, who are you talking about?

Xun You dragged the bewildered A Sheng to explain slowly.

It turned out that Tang Heng, Mr. Tang, may have been a eunuch for a long time, and his mind was a little twisted.Everyone said that his thoughts were difficult to measure, and his behavior was unbelievable.When other eunuchs were busy adopting godsons, he was the only one who adopted goddaughters.

The goddaughter Tang Heng holds in his palm is four years old this year, and it's time to find her husband's family.

"What?" Ah Sheng's eyes froze for a moment, "Although there are baby relatives, but..."

Fu Gongming, who was selected as No.1, has written characters. He must be 16 years old anyway. This is a magical age difference.

"That's right, the Fu family rejected the Tang family's marriage proposal on the grounds that the age gap was too big. Tang Heng thought he was an official of two thousand shi, and he insisted on picking the right family in the same county. Then...then...you know , the second uncle is an official in Luoyang, and the minister orders a thousand stones."

The second child among the "Eight Dragons of the Xun Family" who became an official, this Asheng knew that Xun Li was the father of Xun Yan and Xun Chen. "Could it be that Xun Chen wants to marry a daughter of the Tang family?"

Xun Yan kicked the wooden floor resentfully: "No, it's A Yu who was born in Luoyang just last year. My father didn't know what he thought, but he agreed to the Tang family. Now it's all right, no one else knows How can you criticize our family: greedy for wealth, pleasing eunuchs..."

"I can't help it, brother." Xun Chen came out of nowhere, "You don't even think about what happened after Xu Huang's nephew failed to accept the prefect's daughter."

It was something Ah Sheng didn't know about.She took the opportunity to ask Xun Chen: "Are you okay? How can the prefect's daughter be a concubine? She should be a concubine for the notorious Xu family. Anyone who is normal will reject it."

Xun Chen made an exaggerated gesture: "Ah Sheng, you don't know, and the adults in your family probably wouldn't tell you about Wuhou's misdeeds in detail. Then Xu Xuan couldn't take a concubine, so he took a carriage to destroy his house and drove that The woman snatched it out, tied it to a stake and shot him to death with a bow and arrow."

"Isn't that... the daughter of the prefect?"

Xun Chen and Xun You nodded heavily.

Ah Sheng jumped up: "When my grandfather was around, eunuchs still behaved with their tails between their legs. How come they are so 'powerful' after not seeing each other for a few years? Xu Xuan is just the nephew of Zhongchang Shi, and even the eunuch's daughter said she would kill him." kill."

Asheng mentioned Cao Teng, who was an eunuch, but the little friends of the Xun family couldn't answer those words.Xun You quickly concluded: "After Xu Xuan subdued the law, the emperor was furious, and sent the upright people who dared to deal with Xu Xuan to prison and relegated them. The five princes relied on their achievements in helping the emperor eliminate the Liang family to do whatever they wanted. The second uncle also wanted to protect his family. , I had no choice but to agree to the marriage with Tang."

Everyone persuaded Xun Yan, who was still injustice: "There is no way to do this."

Xun Yan suddenly broke out, hugging the pillar leaning on the water and crying: "Poor Ah Yu, he can't walk yet, yet he has an adopted daughter of an eunuch as his fiancée. This has never happened in our family."

Ah Sheng is neither advancing nor retreating, she is the granddaughter of the eunuch.Standing in the middle, Xun Chen and Xun You looked embarrassed.

Xun Yan cried for five or six minutes. Seeing that his friends were silent, he slowly came to his senses. "Ah Sheng, I'm not talking about you, don't take it to heart."

A Sheng waved his hand: "The girl from the Tang family is only four years old, and her personality and temperament are still undecided. A Yan is in pain because this is not a marriage she is willing to enter into, but because the other party is too powerful, she has to accept it." She backed Walking forward with small hands: "Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic. I haven't heard much about the deeds of the five princes, but from the current point of view, Tang Heng is the smartest person with the most discerning vision among the five."

Xun Yu, she has an impression of this name.Isn't it the card with the skill "Tiger Drive"?At the beginning, because of the pronunciation of the word "Yu", it caused a lot of jokes.

Tang Heng was able to choose Xun Yu as his son-in-law, whether it was luck or because he liked the family style of the Xun family, he was a formidable person.

Xun Yu, who may have great achievements in the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms in the future, is only one year old now. He is a beautiful baby who can barely speak a sentence. Kindness and resentment, laughing at everyone all day long.

Because of the eunuch's disaster in Luoyang this time, Xun Yu was sent back to Yingchuan during the Chinese New Year.He is the old son of his father Xun Yu, and he is more than ten years younger than his brothers above him, so everyone dotes on him.Xun Yan, the doting brother and madman, even brought him to Xun Shuang's class, but Xun Shuang didn't criticize him too much.

"Ah, rub." Xun Yu was wearing clean little clothes, drooling in front of Ah Sheng's desk.

"pregnancy."

"rub."

"Read it with me, sir."

"real!"

"It's not real, it's not rubbish, it's raw." Ah Sheng almost didn't control his own sloppy hands, and went directly to pinch Xun Yu's bun-faced face.

Xun Yan quickly picked up his little brother.Xun Yu still wasn't happy, and reached out his hand in Ah Sheng's direction: "Sheng, Sheng." Well, it's the right call this time.

A Sheng showed great mercy, and hugged A Yu and Xiao Douding, making her dizzy. "I don't hug my Ape as often as I hug you."

Satisfied, little Xun Yu leaned on A Sheng's shoulder and squinted his eyes: "A Sheng, Xiang, Meimei."

"He likes you quite a bit." Xun Yan, who was rejected, said helplessly from the side.

Xun Chen pursed his lips and took care of his homework: "He just likes good-looking people. Either brother A Yue or A Sheng. We can't do it, we are rough."

Xun Lingjun, who later became famous all over the world, was a face control when he was young.
