Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Later Victoria Harbour is known as one of the three best natural ports in the world, but in this era, it is still a wasteland. There are no barbarians living in the vast sandy land by the sea. The Han villages and arable land are further north. On the alluvial plains on both sides of the Pearl River, the most prosperous is Panyu, the capital of Jiaozhou, which is about the location of Guangzhou in later generations.

People from Qiao County who came from afar call this harbour Shengang, and the island to the south of Shengang is called Shendao.

There was originally a small tribe with less than 30 people on Shendao, but in the past year, they have gone down the mountain and crossed the sea to become the tenants of the Cao family. In their words, their ancestors took refuge here from the Central Plains, thinking about the education of the Central Plains day and night, hoping to surrender. But according to Twenty-seven and Qin Liu's inferences, it is false for these people to miss the Central Plains, and it is true that they cannot survive.

Since the summer a few years ago, there have been typhoons hitting Nanhai County every year, and Shendao is the first among them. Not to mention the people who died directly from the typhoon, the poor fields on the island have been repeatedly soaked by seawater into saline-alkali land, and the production of rice has decreased year by year. This was a devastating blow to the mainly farming tribes.

Very kind, and also keen to teach children to read. If this kind of big boss doesn't go to defect, do you have to wait to die on Shen Island?

After defecting to the past, it is not so easy to think about leaving.

The rules of the Cao family are strict. As soon as they enter the house, they are brainwashed and educated. However, the leading teenagers have learned Lingnan dialect. On the other hand, the food treatment is very generous. With sticks, jujube and brainwashing, more than 20 people were assimilated in less than a year. All of them spoke Chinese with Yuzhou and Luoyang accents.

In response, Twenty-seven said: "It's a pity, I've sharpened my knife, and I'm just waiting to kill the chicken and show the monkeys."

Qin Liu sat on the half-built concrete wall and looked at the road leading to Panyu: "I'm lucky to meet a barbarian with a mild temperament and easy to educate, your knife will always have a chance to be used. Didn't Ah Xiu say that when he came back last time? The big island that the master wants is densely covered with mountains and forests, and there are so many wild animals."

Tian Niu was directing the adults to pile sand and soil outside the cement, brush lime, and occasionally do it by himself. At this time, he raised his head and shouted: "You two, don't be lazy and work hard. "

Everyone is a group leader in the "first-year student". Although they have different personalities, they have a good relationship.

"I'm looking at the road." Qin Liu shouted, "Tian Dalang, hurry up and change your clothes and go out to support the scene. I saw someone coming from the road, not from the Ding family. People are the people of the scholar's family."

They made the housekeepers around working laugh. "Tian Dalang, let's go." Someone said immediately, "You are our chief steward."

The people who came were the messengers of Ding and Shi, or Shi Yi personally led the team.

"Tian Lang." As soon as Shi entered the door, he took Tian Niu's hand, his face full of guilt, "A thief rebelled and besieged Nanhai County. Ding's Women's Medical Hall, but it's... ah, God is not benevolent, and good people don't get rewarded."

Tian Niu only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and a thought kept circling in his mind: No, I am ashamed of the little master. But he was prudent in the end, and slowly regained his ability to think: "There should be family guards in the women's medical hall. When you close the door and enter the backyard, it's a high wall. It's not like no one has survived..."

"Oh, what Tian Lang said is not bad, the orphans in the backyard are not damaged, but the few women doctors who were too late to take refuge were taken away. I took the women doctors according to the order of the governor. The two servants in the hall came over, if Tian Lang has any questions, just ask them."

The two servants belonged to Uncle Ding, the chief inspector. They were both wounded. When they met, they knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I didn't protect the women's medical hall, and the women's doctors were robbed and the medicinal materials were robbed. I've been waiting for negligence."

In addition to the two nursing homes brought out by the Cao family who died in this rebellion, more people from the Ding family and the Shi family died. In this case, Tian Niu, Twen Qi and others couldn't be blamed, so they had to inquire about the situation and let them go down to recuperate first.

I even suspect that those who looted the Women's Hospital and those who besieged Nanhai County were not the same group of people."

Twenty-seven stood up with a knife in hand: "I will take people to Panyu and pursue them in the direction where the bandits have retreated. Maybe they can find Master Liu. Tian Dalang guards his home, although the bandits are heading west to Hepu. They fled in the direction of the county, but it does not rule out that some people will get lost and run to Shengang.”

Qin Liu also stood up: "I'll go with you."

When the crisis came, both Twenty-seven from the martial arts faction and Qin Liu from the intellectual faction had stronger action power than Tian Niu. Tian Niu consciously went down and dispatched staff to the two of them. Craftsman Ai took Axiu to investigate the geology on the South Island, and even Sister Yan Wen brought people with them. Therefore, Shen Gang's manpower is tight, and every manpower must be carefully calculated.

Fortunately, mid-November is the day to communicate with Qiao County. Sister A Shi will come to Lingnan to communicate news in person. According to her steps, by the end of December at the latest, the master's order will be sent back to the sinking port. Until then, everything is up to them.

This is the winter of the sixth year of Yanxi.

Different from Shengang, which has a mild climate, it is already snowing heavily in Qiao County.

A team of twelve people, all wrapped in padded jackets and hats, galloped on horseback on the snow-covered ground. "Ahead is the city wall of Qiao County. Everyone, hurry up. We will rest when we arrive at the old house tonight, and go to the grove in the morning."

"No!"

A Sheng turned his head and continued to drive forward, his eyes were dark and he didn't know where he was looking.

Cao Song is in Luoyang, and the uncle Cao Kun is the head of the old house. Ah Sheng first paid tribute to Cao Kun and the Meng couple, and then went to his own courtyard to find Hu. In autumn, Hu gave birth to a girl named Cao Pei. This is the first time Ah Sheng has seen her.

The two or three-month-old baby can already open his eyes to see people, but it would be too embarrassing for her to talk about any interaction with Ah Sheng.

"Apei hasn't opened yet." Asheng was a little disappointed, handed his sister back to the nurse, and turned to talk to Hu, "Although Yingchuan is famous, its properties are similar to Qiaoxian. 2. After thinking about it, I still asked my mentor to write the word 'Cao Pei' and rubbed it on the jade to carve a seal. In the future, when Appei grows up, he can use this seal, whether it is a letter or a calligraphy and painting, after all can be used."

Jade is good jade, and the word is also a good word. Hu Shi was not dissatisfied and said with a smile: "Erlang has always looked far. I will borrow your auspicious words and hope that she will be a talented girl in the future." She also asked someone to take a new cloak for Ah Sheng to try on: " Your brother wrote to say that he will not come back for the New Year this year. What's going on?"

"Oh...he." Ah Sheng organized the language while trying on the clothes, "My brother worshipped Zhang Huan and Zhang Taishou as his teacher. But Zhang Gong was appointed as General Du Liao the other day, and he wanted to accompany him. Let’s go together to the Duliao camp in Wuyuan, Bingzhou. The imperial court’s order is very important, and the journey is long. Zhang Gongfen can’t send him home. It’s more convenient to go on the road together.”

Hu's face was stunned: "Didn't you study in Yingchuan? Why did you follow a general again? Besides, Bingzhou, isn't it approaching the border?"

"Zhang Gong is a famous official in the dynasty. To be honest, he is stronger than Yingchuan's master. Since he can appreciate my brother, this is my brother's opportunity. The so-called people go to high places, mother need not worry He. He will be back next year for Chinese New Year."

The matter of the stepson can't be controlled by Mr. Hu. She sighed: "Your father will not be able to come back until the first day of the first lunar month. It is estimated that he will arrive in Qiao County on the fifteenth day, and he will go back within a few days. In this way, this year's New Year's Eve will only be you and me at home. "

"Not only you and me, but also Ape."

Hu laughed at once: "Yes, and Ape."

This side made my stepmother happy, and the other side has to worry about Lingnan.

Generally speaking, the southern barbarians in Jiaozhou are not as fierce as the northern Dixirong. The rich products in the south determine that their way of life is not to loot, but to seek survival resources from the jungle and the sea. The spread of rice also made them good at farming, and it was relatively easy to assimilate by the Central Plains dynasty, which was also a farming civilization.

There is a reason for this large-scale attack on the county town.

The Eastern Han Dynasty under the chaotic government of the five princes carried out a plundering expropriation from Jiaozhou: pearls, corals, ivory, spices, crystal mines... The Shi Dinggong and the local aristocratic families had no choice but to aggravate the situation. Corruption of ethnic minorities. When the number of people who died from pearling and hunting reached a certain number, riots naturally occurred.

No matter how docile the indigenous people are, they can't stand the insatiable greed of the Central Plains Dynasty. The reason why Zhuya County, which was established on Hainan Island in those years, was abandoned, is a similar story.

The riot in Nanhai County was reported to Luoyang, but some eunuchs who have no political literacy still bite the tribute and will not let go. The rift between the central government and the local residents has been widening. Ding Gong has already given birth to the idea of ​​leaving. He has been in Jiaozhou for a long time, and his reputation has always been good.

In the team, two people died and nine people were missing. The foundation was unstable. When the situation was shaken, the big supporter, Uncle Ding, was still ready to retreat?

Asheng's hair is almost white. She thought about it all night, and finally took out the blueprint of the trans compound crossbow that she exchanged this year, and printed a copy for A Shi to bring to the craftsman Ai. She believes in Craftsman Ai's prudence and professionalism.

"Without a backer, you can only rely on your own force to deter." Ah Sheng wrote in a letter to Shen Dao, "To deal with the original residents, the first thing is to learn the language. If you can communicate, you can It can divide them. Attract those who are willing to accept our system, unite those who are willing to trade with us, and eliminate those who dare to harm us...

"I will let people bring you money and silk and china, which you can use to buy land, bribe wealthy families, and make friends with natives...

"My opinion is consistent with Qin Liu, Liu's and others are probably in a cottage somewhere in Hepu County. Make friends with the indigenous people to gain their trust, or use force to make them submit, these two You can find out the whereabouts of Liu Shi and others from their mouths by any method. Pay attention to identifying people’s hearts, and don’t be blindly arrogant. Be careful in everything, remember to protect yourself, and be careful…”
