Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 188
Yuzhou is a beautiful mountain. Because it is isolated from the land, there is no beast intrusion, only a group of macaques live on the island, accompanied by exotic flowers and fruits, waterfalls and turquoise stones. If you come here on a clear spring day and see the sun shining on the snow-white waterfall, the golden light is shining, accompanied by the chirping of the kingfisher and the yellow warbler, and the naive attitude of the little monkey, it will naturally make people feel relaxed and happy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland.
But now, it’s foggy.
In the obscure environment where day and night are not discernible, Yuzhou is just a vague shadow on the same black water.
The fishing boat made of wood jolted on the waves, and the torches on the bow kept shaking. To reach the main peak of Yuzhou Mountain from the land side, you have to cross the strait for about four kilometers; to go to the island group outside Yuzhou, you have to bypass the island where the main peak is located and travel another three kilometers. This is a nearly one hour voyage.
If it weren’t for the shadow of Yuzhou Mountain and the torch on Zhu Weng’s boat to provide a clear direction, it would not be a problem for Ah Sheng’s guards to row the boat for so long in the fog easy things.
They followed Zhu Weng’s small broken boat to and fro, and finally got closer and closer to an unknown island, and finally went upstream, bypassing two huge reefs like door panels, into a bay.
There are steep rocks on both sides with a height of more than 100 meters, which completely block the bay and form an excellent place to hide boats. “No wonder no one has found it before.” Mi Zhu’s sigh came from the side, and he couldn’t ignore it.
A Sheng glanced at him and saw the water droplets on his beard.
Suddenly, Mi Fang’s terrified voice came from another boat ahead. “Red boat, it’s a ghost boat—”
A Sheng looked closely, and saw a strong color appear in the hazy mist. A red pointed boat, I don’t know when, has appeared silently ahead, looking down at their small sampans condescendingly.
“Goo-gum-” The **** bird chirped as it hovered above everyone’s heads, like the shadow of death.
“Zhu Weng, who is this?” Only a man’s laughing voice could be heard from the red boat. The voice was quite young, no more than forty years old.
“It’s none of my business.” Zhu Weng replied gruffly, “They insisted on following me.”
“Yo, Mi Family Master. Rare customers and rare customers, they brought so many people here, do they want to do business with us?” He didn’t say half a threatening word, but it still made people feel to danger.
Mi Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood up and replied: “Boss Chen probably doesn’t know, Xuzhou has a new master. This is Cao Sheng, Cao Zhonghua, and Cao Cao’s son. Brother, this time I’m here to take care of Qu County. I heard about Chief Chen’s deeds, so I came here to visit.”
The man laughed, and the laughter shook the black birds in the sky to lose a few feathers. At this time, the red boat was getting closer and closer, almost above the head of the small fishing boat. Everyone could vaguely see a figure stepping on the bow of the boat, a tall, strong and fleshy man.
The fishing boat was hit and swayed violently up and down. Several members of the Mi family were unsteady and almost fell into the sea. The one surnamed Chen seemed to be glued to the bamboo shed, unaffected.
Mi Zhu naturally fell to the ground, just between Ah Sheng and the bamboo shed, and he didn’t care about the pain, he turned his head and reminded: “Master Zhonghua be careful, they are pirates. It’s rampant.”
“Hahahaha.” Chief Chen laughed again, and then called to the small fishing boat where Zhu Weng was, “My husband, what do you say?”
Zhu Weng was silent for a while, then replied: “The Mi family and this Duke Zhonghua are both highly respected people, not the Gao clan.”
“Hahahahaha. Am I so scary? Can you just say they shouldn’t kill them?”
He was so arrogant that he completely compared the pale-faced Mi Jiajia Ding.
Seizing this opportunity, Mi Zhu quickly got up from the deck, went back to the mat and sat down, and put on a negotiating style of a high-level person in preparation. In fact, he secretly complained in his heart that the ghost ship only passes by twice a year, so just avoid it.
Even if the pirate leader on the opposite side is not easy to mess with, he will have to bite the bullet!
Yes, that’s it. Don’t shake your knees, be aggressive, don’t cry with a sad face, you should laugh, just like Duke Zhonghua. Right, great. Don’t be afraid of the cold. People who grew up by the sea are afraid of the sea breeze…
Mi Zhu repeatedly hypnotized herself in her heart, and just halfway through her hypnosis, she saw the terrifying pirate leader kneeling on one knee.
? ? ?
“Chen Wuxie, Captain of the Third Guards of the Navy, greets the master.”
“Gu-gu-” The black birds landed on the side of the ship next to Chen Wuxie one by one, forming a neat line, raised their heads together, and issued a “gu–” in unison, Like a soldier.
It turned out to be five huge carrier pigeons. Not only the color is black, but even the claws and beaks are sharper than ordinary pigeons. At first glance, they thought they were falcons, but their calls betrayed them.
A Sheng raised his hand. “Get up. You are laughing more now than before. Is it because you got married?”
Chen Wuxie stood up and laughed without answering the sentence: “The master is wronged by sitting on this small wooden board. There are mangoes from Kaohsiung Port on the Zhiyuan, which will serve as a snack for the master at night.”

As night fell, the fog seemed to dissipate a little. I can see things 40 to 50 meters away. Huge bonfires were lit on the sands of the bay. Chen Wuxie’s **** consisted of ten sharp-mouthed red boats, with about 300 soldiers and sailors. But the Zhiyuan they escorted was a giant-level building ship. Although this time it was mainly cargo-carrying, there were only 60 women on board who were caring for flowers and fruits, feeding livestock, and doing laundry and cooking. as much.
Mi Zhu stuffed grilled fish and fruit in his mouth, his eyes couldn’t help but float in the direction of Zhiyuan, his eyes were all slack. “I’m afraid I’m dreaming. I saw a boat higher than the city wall of Qu County.”
Chen Wuxie didn’t care about this Xuzhou country bumpkin at all, he was busy explaining to Ah Sheng: “Our third **** team’s duty time is not good. After leaving Qingzhou, we often encounter heavy fog and Storm, when Chief Yu was there, he was looking for islands and reefs along the coast of Xuzhou, and the last thing he found was this small island outside Yuzhou. We call it Qingtianwan, which means that we can stay here until the weather is clear and then leave.
“It’s a pity that Quxian has already been run by some people, and there are still many maritime merchants. In desperation, we had to paint the warships red and pretend to be pirates to disperse them in order to keep the main ship from being discovered. We have always adhered to the The master’s teaching never caused trouble. The Gao family…was an accident…but because Xuzhou was not ruled at that time, the Gao family had no citizenship and was not protected by the Friendship Protection Regulations, so the military court decided by 30 votes to 1 vote. I’m not guilty, this matter should have been reported to the master.”
He took a knife and scratched a few times, then peeled off the skin of a mango, and the yellow juice flowed out, shining brightly by the fire. Chen Wuxie took a clean celadon-glazed pottery bowl, put the peeled mango in it, and handed it to Ah Sheng.
Besides Zhuge Liangqi, who peeled the mango into pits because there was no knife, became a puffer fish.
A Sheng shook his head and didn’t take Chen Wuxie’s mango: “Did your wife eat it?”
Chief Chen was stunned for a moment: “This is a new species introduced from Tianzhu, and the results were obtained in the first year. Kaohsiung only sent five boxes to Liaodong, and they were served with ice along the way. Dare to use it without authorization.”
A Sheng: “Oh – it’s for my father, then I…”
“The owner is kind and will definitely give me a note saying that it was not the carrier’s fault that a box was opened on the way.”
“I…”
“The master is kind, and the Mi family master and Zhuge son also have good luck.”
A Chang sighed and pushed the bowl to Chen Wuxie: “Take it to your wife, it’s not easy for her to follow you on the sea.”
Chief Chen jumped up happily: “I’ll call her.”
I haven’t seen him for many years, but Chen Wuxie is still bad and good at routines. But for some reason, it seems to be a lot more cheerful, a little like Zhao Puppy after meeting Ah Lu.
A Sheng sighed in his heart, while taking the mango that looked full of finger prints from Zhuge Liang, cut it open with a knife, cut it into small pieces, and then turned it over, the flesh of each piece was like a flower like blooming. The familiar shape resembles a thousand-year-old mango advertisement.
“Does it look good?”
“Yeah.” Zhuge nodded, “I think Cao Zi cuts better than Chen Wuxie.” He did the same and cut the other side of the mango into a flower shape. Then, reluctant to eat, I looked at the bonfire.
“Cao Zi has a navy under his command. The giant ships cover the sky and the sun, and the fast ships are invincible. Does Duke Cao know?”
A Sheng closed his eyes comfortably by the temperature of the campfire. “He knows.”
“Really?”
“…to give a rough idea.”
Zhuge Liang couldn’t hold back, put a mango pulp in his mouth, and was sweetened into a happy face: “I think Cao Zi is more and more unfathomable. Those who are interested in learning, make A giant ship raises pirates, is that okay?”
“What’s wrong? Building giant ships and building fast ships is a knowledge that ordinary people don’t have.”
“So why?” Xiaoliang leaned over, “I only heard that the way of the sage would not work, so I have to go to sea[Note 1]; of.”
“You feel that the country only has land, and you are narrow.” A Sheng said seriously, “Making fish in the sea can also live the people; cooking the sea into salt can also nourish the people; doing business overseas can also It can enrich the people. The road by sea is as important to me as the road on land.”
Zhuge Liang raised his head and blinked his eyes. After a while, he asked, “Has Cao Zi already been so idealistic at my age?”
“My ideal is very small.” Ah Sheng closed his eyes and felt the temperature of the bonfire on his eyelids. The fog seemed to have dissipated, and she could hear Chen Wuxie and A Yu pushing a mango in the distance, and there was no more damp echo.
“I want to live a luxurious life. No matter what city I am in, I can eat lychees from South Island, goat milk from Xianbei, silk from Jiangnan, and lacquer from Chudi. Liangzhou Provide me with cotton and honeydew melon, and Sizhou will send me peonies and ceramics. If I get sick, there are Ganoderma lucidum from the extreme north and agarwood from the extreme south for medicine.
“But ah, only when farmers and charcoal sellers can enjoy them, I can stop and enjoy them with peace of mind.
“It will take thousands of years.” She smiled contentedly, and the smile was full of proud nostalgia.
From me, the reason is and! “The Analects of Confucius Gongye Chang”
