In the fifth lunar year of Jian'an (200 AD), more than two years have passed since the last great war (the Battle of Shouchun)!

At present, the Central Plains faintly presents a trend of dividing the world, one of which is Yuan Shao, who supports Liu He as the emperor in the north, occupies the land of the four states of You, And, Hebei and Qing, and the court set up by Yuan Shao in Yecheng is also known as the Northern Imperial Court, which is currently the largest of the four forces.

The second is Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, currently has Xu, Henan, Yan Sanzhou and most of the divisions, although the power is still inferior to Yuan Shao, but after all, the Han Xian Emperor he supports is still currently recognized as orthodox, and there is still an absolute advantage in righteousness.

The third is to sit on the alliance of King Hongnong of Yizhou and Shixie of Jiaozhou in the south, and Ma Chao of Liangzhou and Yongzhou in the north. But after all, as the most popular person in the past ten years, his strength should not be underestimated!

The fourth is an alliance composed of three Han clan relatives: Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, and Liu Bei, sitting on Jingzhou and Yangzhou, although it is said to be the weakest of the four forces, and it is full of uncertainty with Sun Jian's nail caught in it, but it is not easy to destroy.

As for Sun Jian, although the clan relatives of the Han family want to exterminate him, after all, Sun Jian's soldiers are strong and strong, and his Sun Ce is even more brave and does not lose to Ma Mengqi, and the situation is quite treacherous at this time, and one is careless for fear of benefiting Cao Cao's fisherman, so now he can only acquiesce to the current situation at the same time, and secretly recruit troops and horses in case of emergency.

Jincheng County - Xining

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it..."

The sound of reading sounded, and a group of children in different costumes were shaking their heads and reading with the gentleman in front of them, while the gentleman walked around the school, knocking down the students who were reading wrong or lazy with the ring ruler in their hands from time to time.

"Okay, that's all for today's homework, remember when you go back..."The gentleman glared at a few students who couldn't hold back and were about to rush out of the classroom, and then continued: "After I go back, I will write Guan Ju ten times, and we will talk about the next 'Ge Tan' of the Book of Poetry in the next class!" Let's go. ”

Originally, this group of children was full of wails when they heard that there was still homework to be done, but when they heard the next word 'let's go' from Mr., they became excited and rushed out of the classroom shouting.

"Boss Li, where are we going to play today?" After rushing out of the school gate, a child asked excitedly.

"I heard that a juggling troupe came to Xining and was performing in the square in the city, and it is said that there is a shadow puppet show inside! I heard my father say that it was beautiful! The leading stout child said.

"Wow! Really? Then let's go quickly! The rest of the children chimed in, and ran away after the strong child in the lead.

Soon, a group of children disappeared without a trace, leaving only a lone figure in front of the school, sighed, and walked to a carriage.

"Yang Ju, aren't you going?" One of the children who had been running away turned back and looked at the lonely figure and asked.

"I—" The man looked up and looked at his father with tears in his eyes.

The middle-aged man sighed when he saw this, then patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Go, remember to go home early!" ”

"Good!! Beigong Ran, let's go! ”

Looking at the two small figures running wildly, the middle-aged strong man couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"I said Yang Teng, I heard that you also found a gentleman to make up for Yang Ju! You're too strict with your children, so they should play happily every day! ”

Yang Teng looked back, and the person who spoke was none other than Agui, the king of Xingguo.

"Hey, I don't want my children to learn more so that they can learn more in the future... Ay! ”

Seeing the other party's look of shaking his head and sighing, Ah Gui couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you, the patriarch of the White Horse clan, to also care about the child's studies one day!" What do you want to do? With King Hongnong here, let's do whatever we do, we'll do it, and we're done! ”

"Back then, when King Hongnong proposed the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, we didn't take it seriously, who would have thought that in just a few years, our lives would have changed dramatically!" Yang Teng looked at the sky in the distance, and the corners of his mouth smiled.

And these words also seemed to arouse Ah Gui's thoughts, and like Yang Teng, he looked at the white clouds in the distance, and muttered: "Yes, even you and I lived a precarious life as the patriarch of the clan back then, and the clansmen froze to death and starved to death every year. Looking at the present, children do not have to worry about the attack of gangsters or beasts when they run and play, they can read, they can eat, they can have a rain-free shelter, and they can even eat seafood as far as Jiaozhou! It's like a dream! ”

"Yes, it's no wonder that after hearing the news from the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions would rather come here as laborers than travel a long way, who would have thought that they would be able to eat enough to be a laborer!"

"What is this? The most exaggerated thing is that the emperors of two countries in the Western Regions actually brought the people of the whole country to my Western Regions Protectorate, and only asked for a small part of the contract from the Triassia Plantation! We, the patriarchs who first joined the Western Regions Protectorate, don't have to do anything now, we just need to do it every year... Ah, yes, dividends! You only need to pay dividends every year, and you can get the wealth that you can't get in your lifetime at that time, even the emperor of the Central Plains doesn't have the pleasure I have been waiting for! ”

"The more you talk, the more you don't talk! I heard that a new batch of Pu Tao wine has been produced in the Pu Tao Plantation, which is very delicious, and it has not yet been mass-produced, but it has been sold in our wine shop, so let's drink it! ”

"What is there to drink in Putao wine, or is it a pleasure in Central Plains spirits..."

The two talked and laughed, hooking their shoulders and gradually walking away.

...

In 111 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom and set up three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan in the northern part of present-day Vietnam to implement direct administration; Cochin County is located in present-day Hanoi, Vietnam. Later, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the Thirteen Thorn History Department in the country, he divided the seven counties, including Jiaozhi, into the Jiaozhi Thorn History Department.

With the development of time, under the management of the Shixie clan and other people who could not escape the disaster, Jiaozhou already has nine counties, including Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhuya, and Dan'er, of which there are three counties in Cochin, part of Vietnam: Jiaozhi (Jiaozhi, now Tokyo, Vietnam, that is, northern Vietnam), Jiuzhen (now Thanh Hoa Province, Nghe An Province, Ha Tinh Province, Quang Binh Province, that is, northern Vietnam), and Ni Nam (county south of present-day Hue, Vietnam, that is, central and part of southern Vietnam) 56 counties.

And He Si'an ordered Li Hui to develop Jiaozhi, which is the area of the former Nanyue Kingdom, that is, the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, if you look at it from a high place, the shape of the three counties is a bit like a long axe, and it is a bit like an island country.

Cochin is located in the northernmost part of the three counties and resembles an axe. It is adjacent to Yizhou in the north and Yulin and Hepu counties in Jiaozhou in the east. The two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan are located on the south side of Jiaozhi, like the handle of an axe, with a large span from north to south, but a small depth from east to west.

Shi Xie was not a vulgar person, since He Si'an went to the imperial court to confirm his position as the overlord of Jiaozhou, and returned the favor, Shi Xie directly handed over the two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan south of Jiaozhi to He Si'an for management, and then under the acquiescence of both parties, the two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan were directly turned into counties and directly included in Jiaozhi County!

Don't look at the two counties are located in the southern border, and are disturbed by the sea breeze all the year round, but here is rich in a precious medicinal material - musk, in the early years it was exclusively for the Han Dynasty royal family, when Zhao Hede gave Zhao Feiyan one of the gifts is Jiuzhen musk.

And after Li Hui took over Jiaozhi, he naturally knew that the biggest reason why He Si'an attached so much importance to Jiaozhi was the word 'money'!

And what he has to do is why Si'an earns money, the more the better! Therefore, the first thing Li Hui did when he arrived in Jiaozhi was to actively communicate with Shixie and Yang Huai, repair the road, and at the same time hire a large number of people to go south to Jiuzhen and Rinan two counties to capture and captivate musk deer and collect musk.

The mountains in the Cochin area are high and densely forested, and the rain is abundant. Building roads would have been an impossible task in Liu Yan's era, but with the cement developed by Zhang Lu, all this is no longer a dream!

Originally, Zhang Lu came back from the Western Regions under the escort of Zhao Yun, according to He Si'an's description of cement, after several years of research, there were finally preliminary results, although the cement produced could not be compared with later generations in all aspects, but in the eyes of people in this era, it was like a god!

Immediately, He Si'an praised Zhang Lu, and even personally wrote eight big characters to give Zhang Lu - "Meritorious in the present, beneficial in the future!" ‘

At this point, Zhang Lu seemed to have opened the door of the new century, and he was out of control, and even directly changed the location of the Taoist temple planned by He Si'an for him to be a cement factory for special production and improvement, which also made He Si'an speechless and full of expectations.

After nearly three years, whether it is the urban construction of Jiaozhi, or the road leading to Jiaozhou and Jianning, it has begun to take shape.

With the arrival of the first batch of goods in Chengdu, He Si'an was surprised to find that in addition to the original musk, dried fish and other things, there were also... Cat?

After some inquiry, I learned that the current cat name is 'Menggui', produced in Jiuzhen, Rinan area, Li Hui felt that its appearance was pleasing, and it could also eat mice, so he also sent more than ten together.

Because 'Menggui' has a docile personality and does not smell like a fox, it is deeply loved by women and children, and the first batch of more than ten was quickly divided.

With the arrival of the second and third batches, there was a trend of raising cats in Chengdu for a while! If anyone has a cat from Cochin, it will definitely attract the envy and jealousy of many relatives and friends around!

Subsequently, He Si'an discussed with Xi Xi, the names of these foreign things are not spoken, and many of them are not marked with Chinese characters, so He Si'an decided to change the names of several items, and the three stacks were changed to cotton, Pu Tao to grapes, and Menggui to cats!
