Chapter 67: Seeing Off

Cao "sex" arranged in Zhenyang, on the tributary of the Pearl River, which is close to Jiaozhou, and the water surface is relatively wide, to build a large dock, which can be built at the same time to reluctantly pass to the lower reaches of the Pearl River, such as building ships, dhow ships, fighting ships, and other large and small ships.

In the waters of the Xiangjiang River, Cao "Xing" chose Changsha County, next to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, to buy a large piece of land, build a water village and a large dock, and produce the largest sea ships and building ships.

In the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, high-quality timber from all over the country will go north along the Xiangjiang River and converge to this dock to build large sea ships and river boats.

Three months later, it will enter the second year of Zhongping.

On the edge of the Xiangjiang River in Zhenyang, there is a newly built wharf, around which is a strong wall built of logs, and the wall is full of wooden houses and warehouses for storing goods.

There is also a brick and stone city wall on the periphery, more than 1,000 young and strong soldiers are working hard to build, and more than 1,000 "women" inside and outside the brick and stone city wall are driving cattle and ploughing the land that was still a forest three months ago.

The faces of ordinary poor peasants everywhere are always numb, but these people's faces are full of sunshine, even if they are working hard, sweat soaking their sleeves, they have never complained, and many people still hummed:

"The flowers in the flower basket are fragrant, listen to me sing it, I came to Chi'er Bay, a good place in Chi'er Bay!

……

Everywhere there are crops, and cattle and sheep are everywhere,

At that time, Chi'er Bay was full of barren mountains

……”

At the gate of the wall, a person wearing iron armor and Confucian clothes looked at the soldiers who were singing while working.

"The singing is very apt, General Huanglong is talented! The three months of walking together have benefited Huang a lot and opened his eyes! General Huanglong was able to let go of his hatred for Ou Xing and devote himself to the construction of Zhenyang, which is the blessing of Zhenyang and Jingzhou. ”

Huang Chengyan, who was wearing Confucian clothes, was full of intoxication when he said this, and then a trace of regret crept up on his face:

"The banquet that has been dispersed all over the world has disturbed General Huanglong for several months, and now that the end of the year is approaching, I am going to take Ah Ugly to the north on the way back!"

Chen Zheng walked out: "Lord! The family is very old, I can't help but go back to visit my son's New Year, thank you for the holiday given by the lord, and we'll see you after the year! ”

The potter, Cao Bao, and Cao Hong also said goodbye to the forward.

After experiencing the assassination of the Bao family's cottage, Cao was a lot more careful, even if it was to see off everyone who went home for the New Year, he was wearing a fine iron fish scale iron armor:

"It is also Cao's honor to have Huang Gong, Mr. Chen, Tao Gongzi, and the Cao brothers from the same family by his side to teach, I hope to see you again as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Cao "sex" walked to Huang Yueying, who was holding a little paparazzi, squatted down, level with her, and looked at this little sister who she loved more and more in her heart, just like her own sister.

Knowing that Cao "sex" and Huang Yueying were close, the rest of the people kept quiet and did not disturb the two of them, and when the potter looked at the two of them, there was pity in his eyes.

Cao "sex" stretched out a hand and "touched" Huang Yueying's pale yellow "colored" hair: "Yueying! I'm going to listen to Aung in the future, you know? ”

Huang Yueying reluctantly looked at Cao 'sex', nodded vigorously, and then handed a gray 'colored' little paparazzi in her hand to Cao 'sex': "Hmm! "Sex" brother, Yueying will be obedient! Ash gives it to you, and when I'm not by your side, Ash will accompany you. ”

"A month ago, Big Ash gave a litter of five puppies, and the other four were given away, leaving Little Ash the strongest one, but it was given to me unexpectedly, thank you Yueying! Remember to come and see me with Ah Weng in the future! ”

"Hmm!"

Several people chatted a few words and said goodbye to each other, Huang Chengyan pulled Huang Yueying, who had tears on her face, and boarded the warship escorted by Cao "sex", Huang Yueying stood at the bow of the boat and kept waving her little hand, shouting in a childish voice: "Brother 'sex'!" Yueying will miss you! ”

"I'll miss you too! Remember to be obedient! ”

The departure of Huang Chengyan's father and daughter, Cao 'sex' felt deeply in his heart, and for a while all that came to his mind was the picture when he got along with Huang Yueying, in addition to Huang Chengyan's reason, for Huang Yueying, a little girl like a sister in his heart, he was also full of reluctance, and he couldn't imagine that he also had such a childlike side, I hope I can see you again as soon as possible.

When the fleet of Huang Chengyan, Chen Zheng, and the potter and his party left, Cao "Xing" looked at Zhou Chao, who was wearing a red "color" iron armor next to him, and joked: "How is this armor?" Does it feel majestic? ”

The Zhou Dynasty, which had never even worn leather armor, obtained such a delicate and bright iron armor, how could it not be happy: "The shoulder armor and the arm are made of leather armor, and the upper body of the guard is iron armor, which protects the vital point and reduces the weight, and the design of the craftsman battalion is really perfect!" ”

"Haha!" Cao "sex" laughed loudly a few times, pretending to be harsh: "My Zhenghongqi Banner Master, your 10,000 acres of land have been reclaimed, and after the New Year's Pass, it will be spring ploughing, don't waste it, you will be allowed to take a month's vacation, go home for a good year, and at the same time, you will be able to expand the Zhenghongqi several times when you return!" Bring your family and take care of your 10,000 acres of flag fields! Can it be done! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Zhou Chao's face was excited, and he was grateful to Dade for Cao's "sex" regardless of his previous suspicions.

Originally, I wanted to brainwash the potter, who was still very simple in thinking, and take Qi to fight a few battles to practice his courage, but unfortunately after arriving in Zhenyang, there were too many things.

In order to catch up with the spring ploughing, two months ago, more than 100,000 soldiers moved to Zhenyang, and the first problem of housing had to be solved.

So that at the beginning, Cao "sex" had to command the civil and military, and was busy building wooden houses and bamboo houses.

Because they were worried that the northerners in the garrison would not adapt to the damp and cold winter in the south to prevent frostbite, and the charcoal was too soot nowadays, they were afraid that the northern garrison soldiers who needed to be roasted would be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

Cao "Xing" worked overtime overnight, wrote down the little knowledge about charcoal kiln in his mind, and then communicated with the charcoal burning craftsmen, worked overtime day and night, and designed a new type of charcoal kiln.

The charcoal produced by this new type of charcoal kiln is not only easy to ignite, fire-resistant, but also smokeless and tasteless, surpassing all other charcoals, and soon this charcoal swept the whole Han Dynasty.

Living is solved, eating is a big problem, everything withers in winter, wild beasts are hibernating, wild vegetables can be picked, and the prey caught is limited, at this time, Cao "sex" hit the target on the hibernating crocodile.

It was recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period that the Yue Kingdom in the south was a country full of dragons and snakes.

The "dragon" here refers to the earth dragon and Jiaolong in the mouth of the time, and to put it bluntly, it is a crocodile.

Zhenyang is farther south than the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are many water veins and lakes in the territory, and there are countless crocodiles here.
