"Is there any news from Shouchun?" Liu Mang put down the information sent from the front line of Yuzhou and asked Jia Xu next to him.
"Military Master Xu Shu doesn't have any big news. Military Master Xu Shu is building roads in Yangzhou these days!" Jia Xu replied to Liu Mang, Yangzhou now is much calmer than Yangzhou before, after so long After a short period of time, Yangzhou, which had been waiting to be rebuilt, has now become prosperous. The industrial park and the entire commercial sector of Yangzhou are developing step by step. It can be regarded as performing their own duties.
Apart from the need to supply food and grass to the front line, there were no major issues, so Xu Shu had time to build roads.
"En!" Liu Mang nodded. It was Liu Mang who sent the letter to Xu Shu about road construction, because Liu Mang knew that if a region wanted to develop and become rich, it must build roads. There was only one well-developed transportation system. Only then can this place exude vitality.
Shouchun relies on Yingshui, and you can go to Baima Lake by walking on Yingshui, and then you can enter the river along Baima Lake, and then go to Guangling to enter the sea. Something is lacking. [top_point] novel
Huang Zhong has 300,000 reserve troops, and the total number of elite combat troops is no more than 100,000. Now there are only 50,000 troops in Yuzhou, and the remaining 250,000 troops are not needed now.
So Xu Shu pulled out the 250,000 troops and began to build roads. The roads at the end of the Han Dynasty, even the official roads, were nothing more than yellow land, covered with some sand, and filled in some sunken holes for him. buried.
And Xu Shu received Liu Mang's order not only to pave him with sand, but also to put cement on it. Now the cement in Yangzhou is still very sufficient. Except for personal use. It is for civilian use.
This cement is very useful in building city walls. Even if it is used as military supplies, it is impossible to take it away. A large amount of cement produced is piled up in the industrial area, and now it is just used for road construction.
Liu Mang doesn't expect to be able to build a good road surface, as long as it can be better than the previous yellow land, so that the official roads between Yangzhou cities can be smoother, so that the transportation of the city can save effort Many, and very convenient.
Not only for commercial road transportation but also for the deployment of troops is also very fast.
"Okay! Continue to build. There are also bridges that need to be built!" Liu Mang nodded. The development of Yangzhou is still in line with Liu Mang's idea. "That's right!" Liu Mang suddenly remembered "Wen He I heard that yours is pregnant?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and said with interest.
"Hey!" Even the old fox Jia Xu, who has long been proficient in the world, blushes when Liu Mang mentions this thing, and there is such a feeling of a young girl, which makes Liu Mang feel regretful Ah, why mention this.
The person Liu Mang mentioned is of course not Jia Xu’s original wife. Jia Xu’s original wife is more than 40 years old, and she is a yellow-faced woman. Now it is not a medical treatment in the 21st world. Having a baby in your forties can be fatal.
Besides, Jia Xu accompanied Liu Mang to Jingzhou for several months. Before this, Jia Xu was congenitally ill. The dignity of a man can be regarded as a complete loss. It was Liu Wei who gave Jia Xu a chance to stand up again.
In the past, Jia Xu had no heirs, so in order to have a successor, he adopted a child from his brother of the same clan, so as not to lose his incense inheritance, but now, because of the little blue pill brought by Liu Mang, Jia Xuxiong got up, and there was a lot of fun in the Jingzhou Central Music Hall.
"How many of them are pregnant?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and teased, "The sword is not old."
"Hey, two, two!" With Liu Mang's little blue pill, after Jia Xu got the girls in the music hall, he was singing and dancing every day. During that time, Jia Xu's face But there is a lot of whiteness, even now there is still a little collapse, but this can be regarded as the end of all hardships.
"It's best to have two with handles, otherwise, you're losing money in this business, and your title will be lost." Liu Mang joked, and Jia Xu, an old fox, seemed to be stepped on his tail "Whoever said it, whoever said it didn't wear a handle, must have a handle."
"Haha!" Liu Mang laughed out loud seeing Jia Xu who was alive and kicking. While ridiculing, Liu Mang couldn't help becoming suspicious, because, this dead old man Jia Xu is already in his forties, but even if he can't, he can still be shot and have a child come out. In fact, for Liu Mang For Mang, it doesn’t matter whether Liu Mang has a handle or not. After all, Liu Mang came out of modern times. At that time, it’s not like having a daughter is a loser now. It’s really making money. It can be said that this life basically doesn’t have to be so hard. Having a son is different. The son needs to go to school, get married, and the car and house are indispensable. The real estate is so expensive. It can be said Most of the hard work of my life has to be given to my son, isn't it a lot, I sold my house to my son to buy a house and finally lived in the garage! As for the daughter, it is enough to accompany the dowry at the end. The daughter is filial and can send money to the family. This is a lot of money. That's why people say that the daughter is China Merchants Bank, and the son is China Construction Bank.
And now Liu Mang likes both his daughter and his son, why, because at such an age, his wife has a status and status, but Liu Mang doesn't have any heirs yet. The most unfilial among the ancients is that they have no heirs. If Liu Mang had children, then Yangzhou would be more stable, because of the inheritance,
So Liu Mang is envious of this old fox no matter what, at least his two wives and concubines are already pregnant. But he, Liu Mang, is still a childless father. You said that Liu Mang didn't work hard. There are several beautiful girls in the family. When the big and small tigers meet, they all want to be squeezed dry by Liu Mang. It's a good name, so Liu Mang won't have thoughts about women outside.
But after struggling for such a long time, there is still no movement in the stomachs of Liu Mang's wives, which made Liu Mang start to doubt his ability. Reckless own problem.
Liu Mang was already very pessimistic, did he really want to go to the Yangtze River Hospital? Not so tragic.
Just when Liu Mang was pessimistic and envious, and Jia Xu, an old fox, suddenly walked in a figure from outside the hall.
"Reporting to my lord, there is a girl outside the mansion asking to see you." Guan Hai walked in and said to Liu Mang, cupping his fists.
Guan Hai's injury last time was healed, and Liu Mang didn't need them to do any tasks anymore, so he asked Guan Hai and Zhou Cang to follow him as two small followers.
"Girl?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, Liu Mang didn't know any girls in Jingzhou.
"Hehe, my lord is so excited, the house is full of flowers, and the outside is also colorful." Jia Xu, the old fox, immediately took revenge. Liu Mang cursed him for having a daughter just now, and now the old fox is teasing him .
"Wenhe, do you want me to talk to that Liu Jingzhou when I leave Jingzhou, and keep you in Jingzhou as our envoy between Yangzhou and Jingzhou?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe with a smile and said .
"Don't worry, Jia Xu is already old, but the lord can't afford such a heavy responsibility." Jia Xu was flustered immediately, why did he leave Jia Xu in Jingzhou? Jia Xu is not a fool. Although Jingzhou and Yangzhou have a good relationship and are allies, but that is only temporary. Waiting for Liu Mang to calm down the Central Plains and resist Cao Cao's southward movement in the north, it is inevitable that he will not have thoughts about Jingzhou Well, Jia Xu has already seen that Liu Biao in Jingzhou has not many days to live. Once Yangzhou and Jingzhou go to war, he, the envoy of Yangzhou, will be prepared to be the animal for Jingzhou's flag sacrifice.
"Then you still don't shut up!" Liu Mang said angrily, he didn't bring this old fox with him when he went out that time, Jia Xu didn't know who he met.
"Yes, yes!" Jia Xu cast a glance at Liu Mang, saying that it is only necessary for the state officials to set fire and not allow the people to light lamps. The old fox didn't dare to say anything in front of Liu Mang again, so he could only mutter in a low voice.
"Did this girl say his name?" Liu Mang asked Guan Hai suspiciously. If Liu Mang in Jingzhou really wanted to know a woman, it would be the hungry Mrs. Cai in Jingzhou's small courtyard, but the connection between the two is secretly, and it is impossible on the surface. Not to mention that they went directly outside the mansion to report, after all, the identities of the two are here. What do you say that the wife of the lord of Jingzhou is in contact with the lord of Yangzhou
"No!" 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. There used to be people who came to sue Liu Mang’s mansion, which made Liu Mang dumbfounded. Although he is His Highness the King of Shu, but in this Jingzhou Among them, it is difficult to protect oneself, how could it be possible to participate in other people's internal affairs, but Guan Hai added, "My lord looked at that girl, and his face was so anxious that he was about to cry. It should be something really important."
"Really?" Liu Mang asked in confusion.
"My lord, I'll meet you soon, maybe it's really your little..." The two lovers of Jia Xu haven't spoken yet.
Liu Mang kicked him 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, we will see you today, even if it is really the people of Jingzhou who came to complain, Liu Mang is ready to help, but he can't say Redressing grievances, the gentry of Jingzhou will be more accommodating because of Liu Mang's face.
"Yes!" Guan Hai nodded, and went out, and soon a woman who was very anxious, her eyes were full of tears, and her makeup had been removed came in.
As soon as he came in, he cried and knelt down in front of Liu Mang, "His Royal Highness Shu, Your Highness Shu, run, run!" (to be continued...)
