A month passed unconsciously, and Zhang Mo and Cai Yan's engagement became the biggest news in Huiji County and even in Dahan.

Many people feel that Cai Yan is not worthy, Zhang Mo is just a general under the nouveau riche Li Ming, but Cai Yan is the daughter of Chen Liucai. The identities of both parties are not at all on the same level, and they are afraid that they will inevitably suffer if they marry.

Cai Yong originally planned to recruit money, but Cai Yan put on a posture of 'not marrying if you are not a gentleman'. In the face of this eldest daughter with strong independence, perhaps out of guilt for her, Cai Yong did not force it in the end.

Cai's mother likes this son-in-law very much, and no matter how tired she is, she will take the time to visit them and help with housework. Originally, these subordinates could do it, but the son-in-law did it himself, which was a manifestation of filial piety.

She also said to Cai Yong in private: "So the son-in-law who knows how to be filial and Yan'er also likes, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Cai Yong shook his head: "I'm not saying that he's bad, I just think that Zhang Mo has no background, if the Wei family comes to the door, how will he deal with it?!" ”

Mother Cai smiled when she heard this: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is impossible for Li Ming to sit back and watch his subordinates have an accident!" ”

Looking at Cai Yan's happy appearance, Cai Yong didn't say anything more. The two made an appointment to get married in three years, and Cai Yan would be eighteen years old by then, and Zhang Mo had no opinion on waiting for another three years.

During the period when Zhang Mo was engaged, Li Ming swept the Longyuan Belt, and found that the remnants of the Nanyue Kingdom had completely disappeared, so they spread and searched for hundreds of miles, until they arrived in Dongzhi County, and found no trace of them.

No one knows exactly where they went, but everything on the other side of the settlement was moved, and it seemed that it was a massive ethnic migration. Maybe they were worried that the big Han would come to conquer, so they retreated in advance, right? Since they will be afraid, it naturally means that they do not have enough strength to fight against the big man..

In fact, this time is the most suitable time to deal with them, but it's a pity that the big man can't draw enough troops now.

Zhang Chun's rebellion was officially put down in June, and Gongsun Zhan and the three Taoyuan brothers beheaded Qiu Liju in battle, and then defeated Zhang Chun.

Yu Fu Luo succeeded in regaining Shan Yu's position, but was wounded in a battle with Su Bu and died a month later, and Shan Yu's position fell into the hands of Yu Fuluo's brother, Zuo Xian Wang Hu Chuquan. Yu Fuluo's son, King Youxian, the three-year-old leopard was given the surname Liu by the Han Emperor, and changed his name to Liu Bao and succeeded to the throne of King Zuoxian.

The Han Dynasty temporarily returned to calm, but the various losses brought about by the war also completely emptied the treasury.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, in August, the rice in the fields began to ripen, and for many people in Huiji County, this was their first harvest after migrating here.

Maybe it's because God has opened his eyes, the rain is quite sufficient, and Zhang Mo continues to guide the farmland cultivation skills, it is obviously a new field, and there is still a harvest at the level of the old field. As for those old fields, they have increased by forty percent compared to before.

After deducting the necessary taxes, most of the grain was purchased by the Chamber of Commerce and transported to Wu County and other places for sale, and the largest buyer was Changsha County.

Cheap grain can be sold anywhere, and now Dahan is short of food everywhere, especially Si Li, even if the price rises by 00% due to freight problems, it can still be sold. Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou are the same large buyers of grain.

However, rice is not yet the mainstream grain, and the taste is not very accustomed to the north, so it is difficult to sell it north of the Yellow River.

The key is the price, in the past, the price of rice is actually only 220 aragonite, in recent years, the price has risen wildly, the price of stone corn in the Sili area has been as high as Guan, but the price of rice here is only around 00 yuan.

Fortunately, Li Ming had a trick, he asked the caravan to bring several kinds of rice cakes, rice noodles and rice noodles to the production methods, and directly promoted them in the local area, and the locals felt very good after eating them, so they naturally bought a lot of rice back. As a result, the price of corn has fallen, which in turn has taken care of the people who insist on eating corn.

The real losers were the merchants in the Central Plains, and in the final analysis, it was Yuan Valve who suffered some losses. Of course, it doesn't count as a loss, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and it can only be said that there is not so much money to be earned.

The merchants of Huiji County made a lot of money, and along with the sale of rice, there were also a large number of dried fish, meat floss, finished medicines, leather goods and other goods. With money, everyone invested money in the shipbuilding industry, Li Ming attaches great importance to this industry, and for the Jiangdong family, since Li Ming values it, then this industry must make money.

Yu was the first to enter this industry, and has been able to build small offshore fishing vessels in numbers, and according to Li Ming's intentions, build medium-sized offshore fishing vessels. Li Ming didn't know so much shipbuilding technology, what flying clippers, what soft sails, what calcining keel technology and the like. The last piece of advice is the shuttle hull, and the concept of buoyancy is roughly explained.

Yu Fu didn't expect that shipbuilding also involved the knowledge of mathematical operations, and he was suddenly addicted to mathematics and couldn't extricate himself.

The first medium-sized offshore fishing vessel was also finalized and tried to be built. There is no shortage of trees in Jiangnan, and Li Ming is also protecting forest farms and logging reasonably, many people don't know why he is doing this, after all, for many people, how many trees are hundreds of years old, why waste the government budget like this?

It's just that Li Ming insists on promoting, even if they don't understand it, because of his prestige, they have to promote. Anyway, people who really see clearly can naturally understand; Those who don't want to see clearly, there is no point in pointing out!

Time has come to February in a blink of an eye, and with the passing of the Spring Festival, it means that the old year has passed, and the new year is coming!

Xun Cai was pregnant again, but the stomachs of the four beautiful maids did not improve at all, and the four of them had no idea of competing for favor.

Peng Die was still young, Li Ming discussed with her that she would have a child at the age of eighteen, and the latter had recently studied a lot of Han classics, which was reasonable, and knew that Li Ming was for her good, so she agreed.

Red Flame is still smashing the moon, but the latter doesn't care about it, it is said that after a long time, Red Flame will give up. However, depending on the situation, Chiyan recognized the broken moon, and he didn't know if this interracial love would blossom and bear fruit.

Thunder has become a bully in Fuchun Mountain, and after two years, it can already hunt alone. Under the influence of beast control, it was very close to Li Ming, but it remained hostile to others. Strangers, in particular, will be directly attacked by it.

In another three years or so, Thunder should be able to ride, and then Li Ming will have three riding beasts as alternatives.

In the first year of the Common Era, with the autumn harvest, the treasury of the imperial court was rarely relieved, and the money owed to the hundred officials was also issued as scheduled. The sale of officials is still going on, and Liu Hong has collected a lot of money.

In the end, Wang Fen's matter stimulated him, or for other reasons, Liu Hong was very insecure, so he took out part of the money in the inner treasury, plus the money from the treasury, formed a new army in Xiyuan and elected the eighth school in Xiyuan.

Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Bao Hong, Cao Cao, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang, Xia Mu and Chun Yuqiong became the eight captains of the West Garden, just like history. However, excluding Jian Shuo and Cao Cao, the other six people were all Yuan Valve's people, and Emperor Han made wedding dresses for others!
