Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

The exquisite carriage turned its bones and wheels, and with a team of 200 family soldiers, swaggered across Danyang County and Wu County, all the way east, until it reached the extreme east of Kuaiji County.

Even the servants of the wealthy families such as Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, Quan, and He are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were both self-proclaimed adults. They were vigilant for several days at first, but when they saw that the carriage was going all the way to the east, not to the west where Yuan Shu was, they gradually became more at ease. .

Especially when they passed through Qiantang County, Wu County, which was Mrs. Wu's natal home. The general of the Cao family 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 has not many relatives.

Qin Liu then asked the girls from the spy department to pick several kinds of herbs from Qiantang County, transplanted them into small pots, and sent them into carriages as ornaments. As long as he wants to brush his favorability, he can really be meticulous.

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

"Dare to ask the general, are we going to Qingzhou? Why continue to the east, and further ahead is Yongdong, the place of exile in the sea." In the carriage of , holding the sleeping little Sun Yi in his arms, and leaning on his knees against the coquettish little Sun Quan. An ochre-red duvet covered her legs, light and warm.

Qin Liu rode a horse and answered outside the half-opened window: "Madam, now the Central Plains are in chaos, let's go by sea."

Sun Ce said it was difficult to understand: "There are many winds and waves at sea, and it is impossible to identify the direction, and there is a risk of running aground."

"Sun Lang is right, but our family is not afraid." Qin Liu raised his mouth, "We have been on this route for 18 years, and there are more than 50 sailings every year. The 'Dingyuan' on duty is another large-scale ship that has served for three years, and it is very stable."

It is polite to say that the sea ship is still polite. "Dingyuan" and "Zhiyuan" are both giant building ships with a length of more than 90 meters, which can be divided into seven floors excluding the isolation cabin at the bottom. When the huge mast showed its appearance from behind the barren island, Zhu Zhi, who was very knowledgeable, felt shocked.

A wide plank **** was erected on the pier, leading to the high deck. And the sparsely dressed civilians are transporting fresh water to the boat. Countless sailors, either watching the weather from the top of the mast, pulling the sails, or checking the hull in the water, did their part.

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

Xiao Sun Quan's eyes widened: "We... let's sit here?"

"Little Lang, let's sit here."

"Okay... so high. It's the first time I've seen such a big boat." He was the first to run on deck, waving at his mother excitedly.

Sun Quan, get. Qin Liu showed a satisfied smile: "Ma'am, there has been a southerly wind in the past two days, and the weather is good. The old boatmen said that it is suitable for traveling. Let's go with the wind, and we can reach Qingzhou in half a month, and transfer from Donglai to Liaodong. It's just another three-day flight."

Mrs. Wu turned around and looked into Qin Liu's eyes: "General, whose subordinates are you? Cao Mengde has only occupied Qingzhou for a year, and he has no time to build such a big ship."

"I am Cao Sheng Cao Zhonghua's retainer." Qin Liu straightened his back, "There used to be a prodigy of the Cao clan in Luoyang, who was my master when he was three years old."

"I've heard of it." Mrs. Wu said slowly, "Ten years ago, "Cao's Arithmetic" was circulated in China, and later, "Cao's Annotations" became famous all over the world, with the number Cao Cao Study. It turns out…”

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

The persecution of Qin Liu's pretense was accurately received by everyone in the Sun family. Showing off force and showing off wealth, someone in our Cao family has money and skills, and now I want to accept you as a younger brother, what do you say?

"The Cao clan is so rich, why did you fall in love with our little Sun family?" Mrs. Wu asked bitterly.

Qin Liu was surprised: "This is the marriage of children and children agreed by Meng Degong and Wentai Gong, and now it's just a promise. Does Madam think that because Wentai Gong died, the Cao family will regret the marriage? That? I also underestimate the integrity of the Cao family. Now everyone from the eldest to the eldest girl is looking forward to meeting their in-laws in Liaodong. Although Qingzhou is busy with wars, Duke Meng may promise to marry her within two years. I know, but what is wrong with us to make Madam worry?"

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

Both Duke Meng De and the master value Sun Lang, Sun Lang...you can control it yourself."

The sea breeze blows, bringing warmth from the south. Seabirds circled around the mast, making distant calls. The towering figure on the painted lacquer column of the "Dingyuan" trapped everyone in the Sun family, like a giant beast gradually showing its fangs to the Central Plains.

This is the crystallization of hundreds of thousands of people on the deserted island.

The Sun family's journey north by boat was particularly smooth, and there was not even a small storm. The bigger the boat, the more stable the boat is, and many times the Sun family can't feel the bumps. If you stay in the room, it is no different from the shore.

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

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

As for Zhou Yu, she is addicted to the small library. The book that Ah Sheng put on the boat is a paper print. The full set of "The Analects", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Historical Records", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn Period" are all double-annotated editions of Cao Sheng and Zheng Xuan, in addition to some literate literacy that was ripped up by the crew Textbooks and medical knowledge books.

Zhou Yu watched it for more than ten days without eating or sleeping, but still only finished one volume of Spring and Autumn. "Yu wants to borrow a book."

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

"Really?"

"Really."

So Zhou Yu walked out of the cabin and saw the busy Dalian Port in spring. Twelve high and low sea ships are docked on the coastline of several hundred meters long, and the densely packed cargo boats are constantly coming and going, while the fishing boats of fishermen are more and more distributed on the other side of the port. The hull is painted with red paint, and the military ship with the flag "Cao", the bow of which is wrapped with an iron horn, cruises around the harbor.

The sun has already set in the west, and the lighthouse on the mountain is dazzling, shining like a second sun on the bustling and clean harbour city.

"This...here is..."

"Welcome to Dalian Port under the rule of Duke Hua." The stewards of the wharf sent an official welcome speech to the Sun family, "Please register for entry."

Qin Liu took the initiative to step forward and showed the token of the Ministry of Espionage. "According to the master's order, **** Jiangdong Sun's family and take us through the green passage."

The steward immediately changed his face and bowed respectfully and 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 the other way, parting ways with the homeless people who came on and off the other piers. Little Sun Quan turned his head frequently: "Why don't they enter the city like us?"

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

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

"It's the medical center. When these refugees enter the country, doctors will provide free medical consultation and medicine. If there is an epidemic, they cannot enter the city until they are cured. In order to prevent the epidemic from entering Liaodong, the owner invested There are a lot of medicinal materials in hand. You are all distinguished guests, and there will be doctors who will come to your door after entering the Wubao Courtyard, so you don’t have to go to the quarantine area to line up for treatment.”

Han Dang lowered his face: "Is this worried that some of us are infected with the epidemic?"

"I also have to undergo quarantine." Qin Liu said directly.

The steward was neither arrogant nor humble, and replied calmly: "Even the master himself, every time he returns from the Central Plains, he has to be diagnosed and treated. Once, the master occasionally felt cold when he entered Hong Kong and was still living in the quarantine area. seven days."

Mrs. Wu suddenly asked, "Do you live with Qian Shou?"

The steward smiled: "Naturally."

"This Cao Zhonghua, Master Cao, treats himself harshly, which is the character of Legalism."

Zhou Yu agrees with this: "I read Cao's Annotation "Spring and Autumn" on the boat, and I found that it is the spirit of the Legalist. Zhonghua Gong said: Be lenient in legislation, strict in law enforcement, and benevolent to the law ; Severe punishments and strict enforcement of laws, which are violent laws. Since the pre-Qin period, legalists have been criticized by people, because those who use violent laws to please the public are rare, and those who protect the people with benevolent laws are rare. It is really refreshing.”

Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up: "Zhonghua School is famous and has extraordinary knowledge. If there is a door to teach apprentices..."

"The master advocates that students learn from others' strengths, so she has never formally accepted apprentices. But she has to teach 24-hour lectures in Dalian Middle School every year, and there are many people listening to the lectures." The steward said while revealing With an envious look, "The master is busy now, and the class hours are shortened. The year before last, the class was canceled because of the director's war. When it comes to her personal teaching, even Young Master Cao Ang is not as good as the last class."

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

Smile. "If Zhou Lang was admitted to the middle school in the spring of this year, the number would be the thirteenth class. In the past, the first class of students studied with the master. When the master was young, every time he had reading experience, he would teach it to the smart servants and Luos in the family. She is a poor child in the neighbors of Yang Village. Later, a total of 72 people who had learned something and followed her, regarded themselves as the master's first class students, so they were called first class students." He said here, pointing to Qin Liu, "Steward Qin , is a first-year student."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce recalled Qin Liu's indisputable camouflage, and couldn't help but be in awe: "It turned out to be Duke Zhonghua's disciple, and it was our disrespect before."

Qin Liu laughed twice, looking like a kind elder: "If I don't have a master, I'm just a beggar in Luoyang market. How dare I call myself a disciple? A retainer is a gift."

Not 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 brought it.

Zhou Yu:…

Qin Liu hooked the corner of his mouth. "The distinguished guests of the Sun family, Wubao has arrived. When everyone is settled, it is time for Liu to leave."

Compared with the shock of Dalian Port, the Caojiawu Fort in the sunset is very low-key. It is hidden behind several high blue walls and almost integrated with the mountains and forests. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, supporting Mrs. Wu from left to right, walked into an unrecognizable fate line.

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

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