Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Cao Ang carried a linen schoolbag and brought his younger brother Cao Shuo from the school. The two brothers said goodbye to their master and classmates before walking through Dalian City to Wubao on the mountain.

Passing by a small shop selling cakes, he also bought a bunch of caramel and a packet of egg rolls. It just so happened that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had just left school and were also buying food at this store.

"Brother-in-law, Gong Jin." Cao Shuo's eyes brightened like a puppy, "Are you coming to buy cakes too? This new red jujube cake is the sweetest, but unfortunately my brother doesn't Will buy it for me."

He called out "Brother-in-law" and Sun Ce blushed.

Zhou Yu smiled and beckoned to the second son of the Cao family, and Cao Shuo ran to him. Zhou Yu started to snort his head: "A-shuo is really like a child."

Congenital insufficiency and developmental delay, she is twelve years old, and she looks like an ordinary nine-year-old child. The important thing is that his temper is also soft, not like the son of Cao Qingzhou who is domineering and sidelined, nor the nephew of Cao Liaodong who is smart and close to the devil.

Cao Ang also knew that his younger brother was a rich man, so he apologized to Sun Ce in a low voice: "A-shuo has been raised by us to be squeamish, don't take it to heart."

Sun Ce shook his head and bought a box of red jujube cakes for his brother-in-law: "A-shuo is pure and kind, it's good. I'm happy to spoil him."

Cao Shuo nearly jumped to the sky with the cake box in his hand, then turned around and sold his sister: "Tomorrow, my sister will take a shift. Help us for sure."

Sun Ce: "No... No need, it's not that I haven't seen it before. Why bother working the boss."

"Oh." Cao Shuo was like a little golden retriever who had been doused with water, "Then I will help you pass the message."

Zhou Yu saw his friend's face becoming more and more embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing: "If I want to say, if Bo Fu gets married and leads the army as soon as possible, he can take his wife to the battlefield together."

"It's very, very good," Cao Shuo nodded again and again, "Male and female match, work is not tiring. Sister now has the title of junior doctor, and it is also very good to be a military doctor." Ah, that elder sister who has been domineering since she was a child is about to marry. No one will pull baby Ah Shuo's ears again in the future, which is gratifying, gratifying.

Cao Ang saw through his little brother's thoughts and patted his back calmly. Cao Shuo wilted immediately, and went to a big mountain, and another big mountain. Life is really sad, who told him to be born late. Only A Pi, who had just learned to speak, could comfort him.

Compared to Sun Ce, who could consider marrying a wife at the age of fourteen, Cao Yu, a 31-year-old single dog, is undoubtedly sad.

The warm Zhanjiang has beautiful scenery and is rich in seafood. With Cao's establishment of the fifth shipyard and Leizhou port here, the once desolate coast has gradually become the third political center of Jiaozhou mainland, echoing with Jiaozhi in the west and Panyu in the east.

From Xuwen in the south of Zhanjiang, it only takes one hour to reach Haikou County in 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 has also become the permanent residence of Cao Yu, the fifth son of the Cao family.

Now, on the high platform near Leizhou Port, Ah Sheng sits opposite this concubine whom he has not seen for a long time. Sitting next to him were Kong Mo and Jiang Ai, who had gray temples. Taishi Ci was sitting in Panyu, and his family members were stationed in Cangwu, so they did not come.

Coconut rice and crab meat were placed on the food table, Ah Sheng raised the sweet potato liqueur and greeted them in turn: "Everyone has worked hard."

Kong Mo became richer and richer, and as he grew older, he changed from a mangy dog ​​to an old rogue. "What did the lord say? Jiaozhou is rich in products and has a warm climate, farmland and fruit forests have been opened up, and aquaculture has been established, so you will have no worries about food and clothing, and it is no worse than the Central Plains."

Artisan Ai said concisely: "To open up wasteland, there is a shortage of people."

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

The children of the Li ethnic group have 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.

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

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

A Sheng nodded and replied: "Okay, let's cook the snake soup. As for whether Yu Lin is beating or stroking, I can make a decision after checking first."

Having said that, Ah Sheng is more inclined to appease. Yulin County is the territory of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for later generations. Thousands of years later, it will be an area with many autonomous counties. Although it is possible to play genocide today, there is a way of peaceful evolution, and she has no intention of rushing for instant success.

Knock off the thorns and appease the small tribe. Then the road into the mountain is built first, and then the mountain people are mobilized to grow herbs, wood, and domesticate wild animals for a living. After the economic integration, the politics will naturally be integrated.

For Cao Sheng, the top priority is to strengthen her control over the south again. She has been away from Jiaozhou for seven years, and the means of showing mercy such as distributing pensions and teaching in school are no longer enough, and need to be stained with blood.

The perfect system will breed corruption, not to mention Jiaozhou is the real emperor. Ah Sheng dressed up as an ordinary scholar, and under the **** of the espionage department, he began a half-year search phase in micro-service. It was not until October that all the files were completed one by one, and the army assembled and began to work.

In this anti-corruption campaign called "Red Xingping", more than 200 corrupt officials were seized in Jiaozhou, 13 of whom were sentenced to death, and the stolen money was over 200 million. As a result, many large and small families declined, more than 800 wrongful convictions were rehabilitated, and hundreds of oppressed barbarian tribes surrendered.

After that, Cao Sheng convened officials from various ministries to divide nature reserves and artificial planting areas in Yulin County, Cangwu County and Jiaozhi County, and concluded treaties with the various barbarian tribes. In December, "Cao's Criminal Law" and "Cao's Civil Law" were released in Panyu, marking the complete separation of Jiaozhou from the rule of the Han Dynasty. Since then, wherever the "Cao" flag has passed, the people of Lingnan have greeted and sent 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 law is basically implemented, and then he will leave.

In addition, she plans to marry Cao Yu.

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

This beach is a sea turtle nature reserve. From April to October, it is a hunting period for sea turtles to lay eggs. Now that the ban has been lifted, residents of nearby villages have come to pick coconut fruits. If you are lucky, you can catch a turtle that didn't have time to escape.

Roasted turtle meat is a local specialty food, but it is rare.

Cao Yu is crowned, but he has not grown a beard yet.

"My mother passed away, I got a word for you from my father, Shao Ze."

Cao Yu bit the mouth of the barbecue and sneered: "He still remembers my son, second brother, eat it, this turtle meat is rare."

Cao Sheng waved his hand: "You are the youngest among the brothers, so you are called Shao; the head of jade and virtue, moisturizing and warming. Together, they are called Shaoze, or my father also feels that he has treated you badly, and that he is lacking in favor. It means. It's a nice word after all."

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

A Sheng sighed, no longer persuaded, but just gave Cao Yu all the barbecue on his plate. "Although turtles live long, they are not easy to produce. I don't advocate hunting and killing, so you should start by not eating them yourself."

"Second brother is still so gentle." Cao Yu swept away the meat on the plate, her cheeks bulging, "The way you acted decisively before, really scared me. That Zeng Bai was a first-year student, the elder of Nandao, because he received a pound of gold from the natives, he was slapped from head to toe."

"Accepting bribes is the second thing. Covering up the chieftain and enslaving the people is a serious crime. I don't know the details of him, but he was only sentenced to three years of hard labor, all in accordance with the new law, what's wrong?"

"No, no." Cao Yu shivered, "I originally liked the girl from the Cangwu County scholar's family, but now I don't dare to say anything."

A Sheng reluctantly patted his brother dog's head: "You have already said it. Shi Xie's daughter?"

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

A 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 slave girl, no one dares to say anything. The husband broke the law, just in time They can't control you either. As long as you don't do anything illegal because of your wife, I won't object."

Cao Yu was immediately happy: "It's better for the second brother to treat me well. I'll go to the door to propose marriage. Qingqing's biological mother died long ago, and she listened to me again, and she definitely didn't dare to mix with the scholar's family. some nonsense."

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

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

Qin Yuanfeng looked indifferent: "The Shijia girl is pregnant."

"Pfft." Ah Sheng hurriedly took another sip of coconut juice to suppress his shock, "Get on the bus first and then make up the ticket? Cao Shaoze, you bad boy!"

"The fifth son wanted to marry her as his wife, but he refused to take a concubine. Now that he can't hide it, he asked the master."

A smiled angrily: "If I didn't agree just now, shouldn't he use the child's affairs as a bargaining chip? 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 came to his senses: "You guys, you know how to use me."

Qin Liu laughed, opened a baked shell and handed it to her: "Master came to Jiaozhou this time, either to eradicate corruption or to legislate, and there is no smile on his face. In fact, compared with Jiaozhou, In the past, it has been better than a hundred times. You pursue perfection too much, but you are suffering. Now that Fifth Young Master has a happy event, isn't it just a good time to relax?"

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