Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 86

    When Taishi Ci first went south with the fleet, he was nine years old. The ancients were precocious, and at his age, he could already understand that he was following Cao Sheng as a proton.

    It is still inappropriate to say “proton”, this is the title of the princes and grandsons during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. And Taishi Ci’s father was just a magistrate of Changyang.

    But the general meaning, well, that’s what it means.

    Tai Shilang just surrendered to the Cao family when he met the Marquis of Changyang and passed away. This marquis, who can be said to be an old friend of the Weihai people, did not leave behind a son and a half daughter after his death, so Changyang County, as his fief, was naturally nationalized. Therefore, the retainers of the Marquis of Changyang were revoked, and the government needed to appoint a magistrate of Changyang to manage the land.

    When the Marquis of Changyang was there, he turned a blind eye to the development of the Cao family. He was satisfied as long as he received enough money every year. This is how Weihai is today. However, when a new official takes office, his character is not necessarily the same. In case of a personal elite, spying on clues, or someone who likes power, forcibly conscripting labor and destroying production will be troublesome for Ah Sheng.

    The position of Changyang county magistrate must be held in his own hands.

    Unfortunately, although the people under Ah Sheng are literate, they are all slaves and have no family background or prestige. How can they become officials? Ah Sheng picked up everyone and found that if she didn’t want to launch Cao Yu, only Taishi Lang, who had just taken office, was the most suitable.

      The county magistrate also makes sense.

    Cao Sheng was very decisive, and in ten days he used money to smash a road to the sky. At this time, the ethos of secretly selling officials was already very popular. Cao Sheng bought a Changyang magistrate, and the other party also gave a magistrate as a gift. As for the county lieutenant, it has always been in the hands of the Cao family.

    So far, Changyang County has completely become Cao Sheng’s palm.

    The only concern is Taishi Lang’s loyalty. She will go south in a short time, and she will not be able to come back after three or four years.

    Therefore, Taishilang and his wife took the initiative to send their only son to the ship. “You are also a half-eldest child. Follow the lord to learn more. You must be cautious in your words and deeds in everything, and listen to the lord’s words.”

    A Sheng doesn’t know whether to say this is good for her father and mother to be confident or cruel. Are they not afraid that the only root of the Taishi family will die in the sea? But then again, these two are still young, so maybe when Taishi Ci returns from the south, he will have more siblings.

    It is the first time that elementary school students leave their parents, or in the vast sea, which is naturally difficult.

    He was in good health, but he did not suffer from seasickness, but after the initial freshness passed, it was endless boredom. The largest boat of the Cao family is only 40 meters long, and the deck area is less than a quarter of the playground, which is really not enough for the children to run around happily.

    The bedrooms, although the best staterooms, are of course not as spacious as their shore dwellings. Not to mention eating fishy seafood and limes every day.

    Little Taishi Ci was unhappy, so Lu Bu took him out and asked him to train on the deck. Of course, Lu Bu himself was a half-assed man. When a big wave hit, the two marines couldn’t stand and rolled into a ball. Therefore, it is inevitable to be laughed at by the sailors.

    “I don’t really understand Erlang,” Lu Bu muttered to Taishi Ci while sitting on the deck of Liudao heading to Jiaozhou, “It stands to reason that she has done a great job, and the granary of Liudao has accumulated Like a mountain, Weihai’s manor is rich enough to rival the country, and she can get brocade, jade, food, wine, and wine at her fingertips, but she still has to suffer and go south, just asking for trouble.”

    Tai Shi Ci held his chin: “Brother Feng is simple, it’s good.”

    “Boy, what did you say?” Lu Bu jumped up and tied the pupil’s neck with one hand.

    Taishi Ci lifted his feet off the ground without panic, bit Lu Bu’s arm, and the two began to fight again. “My father said,” he said as he looked for an opportunity to escape, “the Central Plains will be in chaos, lord, huh, you want to protect yourself by the sea, huh, that’s why you are so exhausted.”

    Compared to Taishi Ci, who was in a state of embarrassment, Lu Bu, who had just grown up, was much more relaxed. Is it? The barbarians fight against the autumn wind every year, and the Taiping Road is also ready to rebel. Isn’t this something everyone knows?”

    “…then, shouldn’t you be ready?”

    “What are you going to prepare? The fight is over. Anyway, they can’t beat me. I’m more than cavalry, water, and jungle head hunting.

    Taishi Ci: “…If you want to fight, you need to prepare food, forage, soldiers, weapons, armor, horses, ships, maps, and vehicles.”

    Lu Bu: “Those Erlang will be ready, what can I do?”

    No way to continue communicating with you. Taishi Ci ran into the cabin and shed tears at the dried salted fish.

    However, apart from Lu Bu, no one could talk to him. The Cao family was unwilling to use a maid. In Ah Sheng’s opinion, a nine-year-old child should take care of himself. Apart from Lu Bu, who was in the same room, watching his safety, there was only a rough woman who came to collect and change his clothes every two days.

    Although Zheng Yi is of the same age, he is a bit pedantic when he studies with his father every day. It doesn’t quite match the smell.

    After two days of sulking, looking back, the precocious young Taishi Ci can only chat with the magical Lu Bu.

    “I’m in an embarrassing situation, how can I get the Lord’s credit?”

    There were some wind and waves this night, Lu Bu and Taishi Ci were both lying on the bed and rocking with the hull. Lu Bu put his hands behind his head and said nonchalantly, “I think Erlang likes you very much. You are not left behind when it comes to teaching big classes, cooking food, and tailoring new clothes.”

    “This is just a courtesy to the guests. The lord saved my father’s life, and I should have served the lord.”

    Lu Bu gave him a strange look: “Aci, you are only nine years old.”

    Aci hummed twice: “I’m already nine years old.”

    “Hahahahahaha.”

    Taishi Ci jumped on Lu Bu’s bed and scratched him: “Don’t make fun of me!”

    “Hahahahahaha.”

    MD, break up.

    No words were made in Lu Haha, but their conversation was naturally detected by the spy department. Qin Liu was on the boat with the spy headquarters.

    “Does the lord have any arrangements for Taishi Ci?” Qin Liu asked her.

    A Sheng just finished processing today’s documents, leaning on the desk and shaking with the waves. “No… nothing special. The quality and talent are of course excellent, but for me now, as long as they are not opposites…”

    She was in a bad mood and said a word without thinking. Who is this “they”? Qin Liu has slowly frowned.

    A Sheng patted his cheek to wake himself up. “At the age of Taishi Lang and Zheng Xuan, they already have formed three views. Respect for the Han family is the foundation of their education since childhood. But Zheng Yi and Taishi Ci are young, and I want to send them to school.”

    First brainwash to become your own person, and then personalize it.

    “It turns out that, according to Cao Yu’s precedent. Then I will go to make the student records of the two of them.”

    A Sheng nodded: “Thank you.”

    The work of monitoring and filing was handed over to Qin Liu, and the ideological work was handed over to the deceptive Luo Chi.

    The next morning, when Taishi Ci went to the deck for morning exercise, Luo Chi stopped him. “Xiao Langjun seems to have some troubles.”

    Taishi Ci also lived in Weihai for a period of time, and knew that the chief stewards of the Cao family are all knowledgeable and have their own strengths, and their status is higher than that of other people’s guests. So he respectfully saluted Luo Chi: “Mr. Luo.”

    The red sun rises from under the water in the east, dyeing the sea a golden red. Luo Chi did not urge the child, but instead looked into the distance and praised: “When I was young, I saw the sun rise above the Luoshui, and I thought it was already spectacular. I never thought that the sunrise on the sea would be even more magnificent. It is truly a beauty in the world.”

    Tai Shi Ci also learned from Luo Chi, lying on the railing to see the beautiful scenery. The maid next to the lord is very strange, neither flattering nor arrogant, but simply makes people feel happy.

    “Mr. Luo, I’ve been with the lord for a long time.” Taishi Ci asked.

    “Yes. I was originally the dowry of the deceased mistress. When the master was still a baby, I was transferred to the master’s room as a maid. It has been more than 20 years. It’s really time flies.”

    “So, there is no matter around the lord that Manager Luo doesn’t know about?”

    Luo Chi blinked: “What? Do you want to know the story of the master’s bedwetting when he was a child?”

    “Uh…not…”

    Luo Chi blinked again: “I also know the story of Twenty Seven’s punishment when he first entered school, and the story of Zhao Qi being **** by a regiment’s maid because he cried, Qin Liu Since I was a child, I have been stumbling over my classmates in various ways, by the way, and Ah Bai, the one who made the most embarrassment in the first class was Ah Bai…”

     Countless gossips came and made Taishi Ci laugh. “Did the stewards grow up together in the Cao family? It seems to be very happy.”

    “It’s not growing up together, but going to school together.” Luo Chi changed to a more comfortable position, “Have you heard the terms first-year and second-year students?”

    Taishi Ci nodded: “Qin Liu, Twenty-seven, and Zhao Qi are first-class students, and navigator Xiang Xian is second-class students.”

    Luo Chi tapped his finger on the side of the ship: “People who graduated from Weihai Mengxue can write and calculate, and are loyal. They can be officials and slaughterers in the Central Plains. But in our family, only Basic. Only about one-twentieth of them can enter the Nanhai Middle School. The eighth students who can enter now.”

     Taishi Ci’s mouth grew slightly.

    “The talented person, even among thousands of people, can stand out and get the opportunity. The knowledge taught in the secondary school covers everything: astronomy and calendar, farming, fishing and hunting, military law, political history, Hundreds of craftsmen and skills. From this time on, everyone will learn while managing affairs, take turns, and finally stay in the most suitable position to serve the master. Qin Liu, Twenty-seven, Zhao Qi, Xiang Jian, you know, That’s how it came.”

    “There is no class, teach students according to their aptitude, and divide labor according to their aptitude. It is the rule of our family.”

    Taishi Ci stood on the deck covered with the rising sun for a while, before bowing to Luochi: “Thank you, Manager Luo, for teaching me.”

    What a smart kid.

    A white waterfowl flew from the southwest and circled twice over the boat. “Shendao is coming soon. Shendao’s graduation exam is later than Weihai, in the first month of the month. And the application for the exam does not require a student status, it is set up for Xiaolangjun’s situation. Xiaolangjun can read and practice martial arts, and listened to the master again. In the big class of the year, as long as you have conquered arithmetic, it will not be a problem to be admitted to the secondary school.”
