"Is there any news from Shouchun?" Liu Mang put down the information sent from the front line in Yuzhou and asked Jia Xu on the side.

"There is no big news about Xu Shu's military division, and Xu Shu's military division is building roads in Yangzhou these days!" Jia Xu replied to Liu Mang, the current Yangzhou is much calmer than the previous Yangzhou, after such a long time of rest, the original Yangzhou has now become prosperous, the industrial park, and the entire Yangzhou commercial sector are developing step by step. It's also their own duties.

There was nothing big about it other than the need to supply grain and grass to the front line, so Xu Shu had time to repair the road.

"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded, Liu Mang sent a letter to Xu Shu about building roads, because Liu Mang knew that if a region wants to develop and become rich, then it must build roads, and only a very developed transportation can make this place exude vitality.

Shouchun relies on Yingshui, you can go to Baima Lake by Yingshui, and then you can enter the river along Baima Lake, and then go down to cross Guangling into the sea, so in terms of waterway, Shouchun is still very developed, but there is still something lacking on land.

Huang Zhong commanded 300,000 reserves, a total of only 100,000 elite combat troops, now there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, and the remaining 250,000 soldiers and horses are not needed now.

So Xu Shu pulled out the 250,000 troops and began to build roads, and the main roads in the late Han Dynasty, even if they were official roads, were just yellow earth, covered with some sand, and then some sunken pits were filled in for him.

And Xu Shu got Liu Mang's order not only to use sand to pave him, but also to put cement on it, and now the cement in Yangzhou is still very sufficient. In addition to for personal use. It's civilian.

This cement is very useful for building walls. It is impossible to sell it as a military supply, and a large amount of cement is piled up in the industrial area, which is now being used to build roads.

Liu Mang doesn't expect to be able to build much better pavement, as long as it can be better than the previous loess land, so that the official roads between Yangzhou cities can be smoother, so that the transportation of the city can be much more labor-saving, and it is very convenient.

Not only for trade transportation, but also for the transfer of troops, it is also very fast.

"Good! Keep building. and the bridges shall be built! Liu Mang nodded, and the development of Yangzhou was quite in line with Liu Mang's thoughts: "That's right!" Liu Mang suddenly remembered, "Wen He heard that the one you are pregnant?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and said with interest.

"Hey, hey!" Even the old fox Jia Xu, a character who has long been proficient in human affairs, was blushed when Liu Mang mentioned this thing, and there was such a feeling of being a girl with a sense of spring, which made Liu Mang regret it a lot, why did he mention this.

The one Liu Mang said is naturally not Jia Xu's original wife, Jia Xu's original wife is already more than forty years older, they are all yellow-faced women, and now it is not the medical treatment of the twenty-first world, and it will be fatal to have a child in her forties.

Besides, Jia Xu has been accompanying Liu Mang to Jingzhou for several months. Before this, Jia Xu was born with a disease. The dignity of a man can be regarded as a complete loss, and it was Liu Mang who gave Jia Xu a new chance to stand up.

In the past, Jia Xu had no heirs, so in order to have a successor, he still inherited a child from his own brother, so as not to lose his incense inheritance, but now, because of the little blue pill brought by Liu Mang, Jia Xu has risen up, and it is good to have a cloud and rain in the Jingzhou Zhongle Hall.

"How many of those are pregnant?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and teased: "The treasure knife is not old." ”

"Hey, two, two!" With Liu Mang's little blue pill, Jia Xu was singing and dancing every day after getting the women in the music hall, during that time, Jia Xu's face was a lot whiter, but now there is still a little prostration, but this can be regarded as bitter and sweet.

"It's better to have two handles, otherwise, you're a loss-making deal, and your title won't be guaranteed." Liu Mang teased, and Jia Xu, the old fox, jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, "Whoever said it, whoever said that it didn't have a handle, it must be brought with it." ”

"Haha!" Liu Mang looked at the lively Jia Xu and laughed rarely. In addition to laughing, Liu Mang himself couldn't help but doubt, because ah, this Jia Xu, the dead old man, is forty years old, but even if it doesn't work, then he can be shot, and he can have a child come out, in fact, for Liu Mang, it doesn't matter if he takes a handle or not, after all, Liu Mang is from the modern era, at that time, unlike now that giving birth to a daughter is a loss of money, in modern times, giving birth to a daughter, that is the real money, it can be said that this life basically doesn't have to work so hard, and having a son is different, My son wants to go to school, he wants to get married, the car and the house are all the same, and this property is so expensive, it can be said that most of his life's efforts have to be given to his son, isn't it a lot, I sold my house to my son to buy a house and finally lived in a garage! As for the daughter, it is enough to accompany a dowry in the end, and the daughter is filial and can also send money to the family, which is more profitable, so people say that this daughter is China Merchants Bank, and this son is China Construction Bank.

And Liu Mang likes it now whether it is a daughter or a son, why, because at such an age, his wife has a status and status, but ah, Liu Mang doesn't have any heirs. Among the ancients, the biggest unfilial piety is that there are no heirs, if Liu Mang has children, then Yangzhou will be more stable, because there is a heritage,

So no matter what, Liu Mang is envious of this old fox, but his two wives and concubines are already pregnant. And he, Liu Mang, is still a childless father, you say that Liu Mang doesn't work hard, there are a few beautiful girls in the family, and the two tigers of that size want Liu Mang to squeeze them dry when they meet, Qiao Yu is also famous, so Liu Mang will not have thoughts about women outside.

But after struggling for so long, Liu Mang's mother-in-law still didn't move in their stomachs, and Liu Mang began to doubt his ability, if it was a woman's problem, one problem couldn't have three, then it was Liu Mang's own problem.

Liu Mang is already very pessimistic, is he really going to go to the Yangtze River Hospital to have a look? It's not that tragic.

Just when Liu Mang was pessimistic and envious, and Jia Xu, the old fox, was stunned, suddenly a figure outside the hall walked in.

"Back to the lord, there is a girl outside the mansion who asks to see you," Guan Hai walked in and said with a fist at Liu Mang.

Guan Hai's injury last time was healed, and Liu Mang didn't need them to do any tasks, so Guan Hai and Zhou Cang kept following him and sat down with two small followers.

"Girl?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, Liu Mang didn't know any girl in Jingzhou.

"Hehe, the lord is so interested, the flowers in this house are blooming, and the outside is also purple and red." Jia Xu, the old fox, immediately retaliated, Liu Mang cursed him for giving birth to a daughter just now, and now the old fox is ridiculing.

"Wenhe, do you think I should wait to talk to that Liu Jingzhou when I leave Jingzhou, and leave you in Jingzhou as our envoy to Yangzhou and Jingzhou?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said.

"Don't, Jia Xu is already old, but he can't be so heavy-handed by the lord." Jia Xu immediately panicked, leaving him Jia Xu in Jingzhou? Jia Xu is not a fool, don't look at the good relationship between Jingzhou and Yangzhou now, they are allies, but that is also temporary, waiting for Liu Mang to pacify the Central Plains and resist Cao Cao's southward movement in the north, it is inevitable that he will not have thoughts about Jingzhou, Jia Xu has already seen it, and Liu Biao's body and bones in Jingzhou have not many days to live, once Yangzhou and Jingzhou go to war, he, the envoy of Yangzhou, will be ready to serve as the livestock of the Jingzhou sacrifice flag.

"Then you don't shut up yet!" Liu Mang said angrily, he didn't go out with this old fox that time, he didn't know who he saw.

"Yes, yes!" Jia Xu glanced at Liu Mang, this is called as long as the state officials set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps. The old fox didn't dare to say anything in front of Liu Mang, so he could only mumble in his mouth.

"Did this girl say his name?" Liu Mang asked Guan Hai suspiciously. If Liu Mang in Jingzhou really wants to know a woman, it is the hungry Mrs. Cai in the small courtyard of Jingzhou, but the contact between the two is secret, it is impossible on the surface, and there is no direct report outside the mansion like this, after all, the identities of the two are here, what do you say that the wife of the lord of Jingzhou and the lord of Yangzhou are going to and fro.

"Nope!" Guan Hai shook his head and said, "This girl just said that she has something important to see the lord!" ”

Liu Mang is about to disappear, because not everyone can see him, once Liu Mang's mansion and the people who came to complain, it just made Liu Mang cry and laugh, although he is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but in this Jingzhou, it is difficult to protect himself, how can he participate in other people's internal affairs, but Guan Hai added, "The lord looked at the girl, his face was so anxious that he was about to cry, there should be something really important." ”

"Really?" Liu Mang asked suspiciously.

"Lord, you can see it, maybe it's really your little one" Jia Xu's lover and the two of them didn't say it yet.

Liu Mang kicked it directly, of course he knew who Jia Xu was talking about, wasn't it the barbarian princess.

"Let him in!" Liu Mang waved his hand and sat on the chair, anyway, let's see you if there is nothing to do today, even if it is really the people of Jingzhou who come to shout grievances, Liu Mang is also ready to help, but it can't be said that the grievances are redressed, and the scholars of Jingzhou will be accommodating for the sake of his Liu Mang's face.

"Yes!" Guan Hai nodded and went out, and soon a woman with a worried face, her eyes were already full of water, and she had put her makeup off.

As soon as he came in, he cried and knelt down in front of Liu Mang, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, run, run!" (To be continued......)
