Yuan Shao was domineering, even his son was so domineering, which made Tao Ying very unhappy. But if you think about it carefully, maybe people really don't take themselves seriously, and in the eyes of others, they are at best a fortune teller!

Although he is already the lord of the three counties, but the third duke of Yuan Tan IV, oh, no, he is almost the third duke of the fifth world, so his status is noble, where can he be compared to a small descendant of Tao Qian?

And the people now occupy the land of a state, and if they are divided into subordinates according to the territory, he is now at the same level as Cao Cao and the potters, so he will be so unpopular.

Just as Tao Ying wanted to ruthlessly reject Yuan Tan, Chen Deng said on the side: "The envoy said that the reason why Yuan Dagongzi was able to break through Beihai so quickly and defeated Kong Rong was related to the lord, so he came to ask for a hexagram, and by the way, it can be regarded as gratitude!" ”

Tao Ying suddenly found that Chen Deng's failure to be a lobbyist simply buried him, which made him very angry for a while, and turned his head to arouse his curiosity. Next time, if you want to go somewhere, you must send Chen Deng!

"Attacking Beihai, it can only be said that Kong Beihai is useless, what does it have to do with me?"

Chen Deng thought about it, and it seemed that he could only ask the envoy tomorrow. So he shook his head, Tao Ying stretched, he was really tired this day, no matter what he had to do with himself, anyway, his land didn't border him, so he better wash and sleep!

"Okay, you go out with Xiaohuan, and let Xiaohuan arrange a room for you. Tomorrow I will discuss with you about the fertilizer factory, and I will go to Pengcheng tomorrow to find you! ”

Tao Ying stretched his waist and was about to lie down on the bed, Chen Deng hurriedly said: "Lord, let's go to Pengcheng tomorrow to meet the envoy, the envoy heard that if you want to ask the lord to calculate the hexagram, you must either take refuge in the lord in the future, or you have to cut the land as hexagram capital." Yuan Dagongzi was unwilling to take refuge in the lord, so he was willing to give the city of Donglai County, Qingzhou to the lord. ”

As soon as Chen Deng said to send the ground, Tao Ying suddenly felt no longer tired. Then walk over to the table and have someone go get the map. The map was drawn by Tao Ying with his own impressions, although many place names are not very accurate, but those important cities in later generations, he still marked them.

On the map, Tao Ying asked where the city was? Chen Deng pointed to the map, which happened to be the location of Qingdao in the future, Tao Ying felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, he dreamed of getting this land, is it! Besides, this Yuan Tan is too tyrant, if he gives himself this place, then he will definitely develop the navy in Jiaozhou Bay!

As soon as his steam engine is invented, the steam ship will definitely come out soon.

Tao Ying sat dreaming, but he didn't know that at this time, it was a wasteland! There is nothing in tatters, everything is virgin land that is still waiting to be reclaimed, and how few such places are in the Han Dynasty?

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the two of them were carefully studying the map around the map, but they had forgotten that the ruined city was not their own!

"After getting this land, you look at this harbor, a natural sailor base. When the time comes, the Northern Fleet will be formed here, and within three years, the industry must be developed. Within five years, the steam engine was used in the train, and then the first steam train was sent out of Pengcheng. Within six years, the steam engine should be applied to the steamship, so that the steamship can form a powerful naval fleet! ”

Tao Ying pointed to the map and spoke in a sonorous voice, as if he had long forgotten his fatigue of the day.

Chen Deng listened stupidly beside him, and only said after a while: "What is the use of steam locomotives?" Can this really be invented? And the steamer, which is really as powerful as the lord describes? ”

Tao Ying saw that Chen Deng didn't believe it, and stood up and described it to him: "Hey, tell you, don't believe it, you can't imagine it!" At that time, all the ships I built were made of iron, the size of the Jixian Palace, and when the time came, the ships would sail without the help of the wind, but by burning coal. When the time comes, I will load artillery on it, let alone artillery, even if I hit it with a ship, I can sink someone else's ship! ”

The two of them have to question it in such an unbelieving way, where is this something that this world can dare to think of! Tao Ying came up with a dead brain, and he had to argue whether he won or lost. So most of the night passed like this, and finally the chickens were called three watches, and the two of them had the messenger of the local tyrant Yuan who would go home tomorrow, so the two of them shrank in the house and slept.

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Deng got up. After getting up, Chen Deng hurriedly got up and went to the bedside to call Tao Ying. Last night, in order to facilitate the debate, Tao Ying was stunned to move a bed and put it in his room, and the two of them slept on the bed and argued.

Tao Ying was still lying on the bed and falling asleep, and was pushed several times before getting up. After getting up, Xiaohuan came in and dressed Tao Ying, and now Tao Ying already likes Xiaohuan's service and Xiaohuan's companionship every day.

Xiaohuan is very good-looking, although he is not very tall, but he has a pure atmosphere, which is quite liked by Tao Ying. If it weren't for her underage, Tao Ying would have married her a long time ago. It's just that before marrying her, he still has to ask Miss Gan, and when he is filial piety, where do he dare to welcome his relatives!

After washing, Xiaohuan stood behind Tao Ying and combed Tao Ying's long hair, Xiaohuan combed it very seriously, as if she was sitting in front of her not her own master, but her own father-in-law, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, his face was a little depressed. The color of the bronze mirror is not as good as the mirror made of mercury in later generations. This made Tao Ying decide that everything would change in the future, starting from his side, everything that could be invented would be invented, and if something was popularized in the Han Dynasty, he would become a tyrant even more than Yuan Tan!

From the foot of Taoling Mountain to the east, the two of them rushed to Pengcheng under the escort of nearly fifty Danyang personal guards. When Zhao Yun led the troops to the battle, Tao Ying had no generals around him who could protect him. But fortunately, he recruited nearly 100 Danyang soldiers in Danyang, and then selected 50 people to form his own personal guard. The combat effectiveness of these pro-guards is extremely strong, and all of them are a small general.

Out of Taoling Town, walk along a wide road from afar, and when I look back at Taoling Town, puffs of cooking smoke are coming out of the chimneys of every house. The autumn dew wets the horses' hooves, and the Taoling Mountain is golden, and the scenery is beautiful.

Tao Ying has left Taoling Town for the first time in almost a year, and he has never come out to walk around, he has been busy writing books and exploring new inventions with teachers in various schools, but he has never really paid attention to the development of Taoling Town.

The scattered country cottages, the towering trees on the roadside, and the golden fallen leaves on the mountains seem to be an excellent tourist attraction in later generations.

In the future, when the construction of his father's mausoleum is completed, he will start to engage in tourism and collect tickets, which is exciting to think about!

The two of them, escorted by the personal guards, rushed to Pengcheng. I haven't been to Pengcheng for more than a year, and the walls of Pengcheng have been built. Entering Pengcheng from the west gate, Pengcheng is still busy, tens of thousands of people have begun to build streets, there are residences everywhere, there are people carving stone lions, and some people are transplanting trees cut down from the mountains to the roadside. The distance gradually became more crowded, and many of the campuses where they lived also smoked.

Under the temptation of money and fame, more and more writers and celebrities came to Pengcheng, and many of them recommended me and I recommended you, so many people moved to Pengcheng as soon as they received the invitation from Pengcheng.

As a result, Pengcheng gradually became populated.
