It was easy to appease Yin Ji and make her believe that she was just joking, and she didn't mean to be jealous, so Yin Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Ce asked about the situation, and only then did he know that Yuan Quan had told her, and she had been waiting for this day.

In her opinion, it was almost inevitable that Yuan Quan would marry Sun Ce, and she had already been mentally prepared. As for Feng Wan, she was indeed a little surprised, but what was unexpected was that Feng Wan was willing to be a concubine, but it was not Sun Ce's greed. In her opinion, Sun Cena's concubines are a matter of course.

He Xian has concubines, not to mention Sun Ce. Being able to serve Sun Ce with women from families like Yuan Quan and Feng Wan is not unacceptable to her. If there must be any worries, she is just worried that she is not competitive and will become the most unpopular person. But now that Mrs. Wu is very good to her, and Sun Ce has not ignored her, what else can she complain about.

"Thank you, General." Yin Ji blinked, touched the silver bracelet on her wrist, and said, "I like this silver bracelet very much, the workmanship is really good, it should be something in the palace." The general specially left it to me, and I am afraid that other sisters will have opinions. ”

Sun Ce glanced at the silver bracelet. This pair of silver bracelets was specially left by him to Yuan Quan, but now it is in Yin Ji's hands, which is naturally Yuan Quan's decision. "If you like it, if you like. Take good care of your body, and if you give birth to a child in the future, regardless of whether you are male or female, your husband will still have a reward. ”

"Does the general like his son, or does he like his daughter?"

"It doesn't matter, sons and daughters are the same. If it's a son, it's like me. If it's a daughter, it's just like you, it's beautiful anyway. When they grow up, whether they are sons or daughters, give them a piece of land and let them be feudal kings. ”

"I don't dare to have such an extravagant expectation. If the general doesn't look the other way because they are concubines, I'm satisfied. Yin Ji smiled and held Sun Ce's arm tightly. Although she has changed from the wife of the He family to the concubine of the Sun family, her quality of life has not decreased, but has improved, and she is very glad about it. There will be a little bit of regret, but who can take advantage of their wishes and everything goes well.

To be honest, Sun Ce doesn't know if Yin Ji is true or not, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, it is not easy to guess, and it is even more difficult to guess women's thoughts, not to mention that he and Yin Ji are still separated by 1,800 years.

Sun Ce and Yin Ji went to the West Courtyard and gossiped with Sister Yuan Quan. Yuan Quan was going to cook some dishes, but was stopped by Sun Ce. After a while, Feng Wan and Huang Yueying also came, and several people got together, muttering and laughing, only Huang Yueying walked to Sun Ce's side, took out a piece of paper, and shook it in front of Sun Ce.

"What's that?" Sun Ce took the drawing and looked at it, it was like an inclined plane, but it was not clear what it was doing.

"The tools that Xu Gonghe wants. Things are not complicated, but the requirements for flatness and smoothness are very high. He said he had come up with a way to unravel the curve formula you were talking about. ”

Sun Ce was surprised and took the drawings again to look at them carefully. After Huang Yueying's explanation, he knew that this was not only an inclined plane, but also that the angle of the inclined plane was adjustable, but the end was horizontal, which showed that Xu Yue had clearly realized how to get different horizontal velocities and quantify them.

Wise man. Sun Ce's hope increased greatly. Xu Yue might have been able to come up with a freefall formula without a precision timing tool, after all, he was one of the smartest people of his time. Mathematicians have the ability to think abstractly that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and if they are involved in other disciplines, no matter what kind of knowledge, it is easier than others, especially physics, Newton and Galileo have high attainments in mathematics.

"Full support for him." Sun Ce said: "Ask him, if there are any colleagues who are as dedicated to learning as him, please have one." ”

Hearing the word "fellow Dao", Feng Wan turned his head to look at Sun Ce, and then deliberately looked away, leaving Sun Ce with a mysterious smile.

——

A few days later, Du Xi personally sent the confiscated property of the Cao family to Pingyu and handed it over to Sun Ce. Sun Ce consulted Sun Jian and rewarded the generals who went out for their meritorious deeds. Because of the restrictions on the official positions of their fathers and sons, middle and low-level generals may be promoted, but high-level generals cannot be promoted, so they can only reward them with more money. If it weren't for the confiscation of so much of the Cao family's property, Sun Ce wouldn't have been able to take out the money at all.

Although Sun Jian did not participate in the Battle of Junyi, he had also fought with Zhu Jun before. Zhu Jun has no money to reward, and Sun Jian has no money, so this money can only be provided by Sun Ce. After receiving the reward, Cheng Pu and the others were both happy and a little embarrassed. Happiness is rewarded, and life will be better. None of them are locals, there is no land income, military pay and rewards are all income, military pay is limited, can only ensure basic living, rewards are the majority. It doesn't mean that because they haven't done any merit, they are a little weak in receiving the reward, and they are worried about being gossiped behind their backs.

In this state of mind, their willingness to fight is even stronger.

Sun Ce understood their thoughts, and after repeated discussions with Sun Jian, he decided to hand over the battles of Lujiang and Jiujiang to Sun Jian, and he wholeheartedly attacked Jingzhou with Zhou Yu. In order to ensure the safety of the northern line, Sun Ce proposed that Sun Ben should lead a part alone and sit in Peiguo County. Qian County is very close to Chen and Liang, and no matter which county has a war, it can be in the center and provide timely support.

Sun Ce originally planned for Wu Jing to sit in Runan, but Sun Jian still wanted Wu Jing to go with the army, and so did Wu Jing himself. Sun Ce did not object, and he proposed that Gong Du and Xu Kun stay in Runan. Gong Du was originally a native of Runan, familiar with geography, born in the Yellow Turban, it is unlikely that he will collude with the Runan family, and after the test of the Battle of Junyi, he is loyal, plus Xu Kun, a young Zhuang faction, even if the Runan family wants to make trouble, they can settle it.

Sun Jian was very satisfied with this arrangement and devoted himself to preparation energetically.

At the same time, Wu Zhou also ended the raid on the Cai family. After repeated checks, the facts of the Cai family's encroachment on fertile land and concealment of the population are clear and the evidence is conclusive. It's just that in order to take care of Cai Yan's reputation, they put all the responsibility on Cai Yang. Sun Ce turned a blind eye to this and ordered Cai Yang to be imprisoned pending execution after the autumn. The Cai family's property was confiscated and used for military purposes, and the family was confiscated as official slaves.

Compared with copying the Cao family, although the harvest of the Cai family is not as good as the Cao family, but the meticulousness of the work is beyond the limit, under the dual supervision of Liu Cheng and Liu Bei, Wu Zhou and others did not dare to be careless, prepared all kinds of materials very thoroughly, and wrote a closing document. After Sun Ce and Sun Jian looked at it, they ordered people to copy many copies, one was sent to the Chang'an court, and the others were distributed to the counties, so that everyone in the whole state knew that the Sun family father and son did this not to enrich their own pockets, but to do their duty.

For a time, Yuzhou shook, and the family was panicked.

Taking advantage of this gust of wind, Zhang Zhao issued an order in the name of Runan Taishou to restore the monopoly of salt and iron in Runan County. Each county and township receives a corresponding amount of salt according to the reported population, and this salt is supplied at the normal price, and no one is allowed to eat more than he takes. In addition, salt can also be sold in the market, but the price is extremely high, and according to Sun Ce's suggestion, the graded salt price is adopted, and the more you buy, the more outrageous the price increases, until it is a hundred times the normal salt price.

As soon as the news came out, those powerful families immediately understood, and they were so angry that they scolded. This command will be directed at them. Ordinary people don't need to buy extra salt at all, they only need to buy salt in the market when they hide a large number of people, and when winter is approaching and the New Year is approaching, they need more salt to pickle food. Zhang Zhao's resumption of the salt and iron monopoly at this time was a retaliation for their uncooperation.

In the anger of the powerful family, Sun Ce was very low-key and accepted Yuan Quan and Feng Wan as concubines.
