The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 278 Blessings of Qi People, South Conquer Jiaozhou

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiu didn't ask much about those schools. After all, these people have learned a lot, and Jia Xu and others can also teach them.

In addition, Zhang Xiu taught Arabic numerals simply, and was equipped with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This whole is not difficult, but it just shocked Jia Xu and others.

Using the numbers taught by Zhang Xiu can easily express the corresponding things, and the algorithm is also simpler. Zhang Xiu taught this to Jia Xu and others.

Let them conduct a teaching and shake hands by themselves.

At this time, inside the mansion.

Zhang Xiu was lying on Fan's slender legs, and then Mi Zhen tapped her legs, Yuan also let go of her reserve, and personally fed Zhang Xiu the fruits, while Cai took care of the child.

When it's Yueying girl, she doesn't like these things very much, and instead fiddles with some things by herself. At this time, it's a strange skill.

When she fiddled with these things, Zhang Xiu was amazed from time to time, feeling a little ashamed.Of course, using the wisdom of his later generations, he can still give a few simple pointers and pretend to be aggressive.

It is precisely because of this that Yueying sister is tinkering with these things outside, and she can ask a few words from time to time.

"Husband, I heard some people say that some things that my husband rectifies will destabilize the Jingzhou regime. If this is the case, why do you need to rectify it?"

Mi Zhen frowned and asked curiously, with unabated strength in her fingers.

"It's your duty to care for your husband and teach your children. Don't inquire about the rest. If you can't, you can find something to do. For example, you can learn from sister Yueying."

Zhang Xiu had a serious face, he didn't want his wives and concubines to know about these things, for his own woman, it was enough for her to be happy with the baby, and asked about these things.

"Oh!" Mi Zhen bowed her head obediently.

She didn't ask casually, it was her brother who asked her to inquire a little bit, because the influence of completely offending the aristocratic family was too great, which caused Mi Zhu to be a little worried.

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, his eyes rolled around, and then he sat up directly, looking at the corners of everyone's eyes with a gleam of light, and said loudly: "By the way, are you usually free?"

The women looked at each other blankly, a little at a loss, but they all nodded.

It's not easy for them to show their faces, and Zhang Xiu can't always accompany them, so that they have nothing to do, and it's not like Mrs. Cai who can take care of a child.

Seeing the women nodding, Zhang Xiu pinched his chin. He vaguely remembered that Ma Yun seemed to have said, never let a woman idle, find something for her to do.

Isn't that right, I like intrigue when I'm idle.

Why don't you say intrigue?boring.

After all, the ancient times were not like the later generations. The later generations were called entertaining until death. In ancient times, entertainment was too scarce, and men were just walking dogs and hawks, throwing pots and archery, hunting and composing poems, etc.

There are fewer women, and there are too few people who can read and write, play piano, play chess, calligraphy, or show embroidery. If Zhang Xiu had to fight for world supremacy, he would have died of a sudden death eight years ago.

As for what is fun, let’s go to the sea, but the most witty and courageous, or women’s favorite, I guess it is playing mahjong.

If you don't rub mahjong, you don't feel it. The more you rub, the more you want to rub.Every game is the beginning of an intrigue, this guy likes it so much, he can even promote it.

From now on, during New Years and holidays, he and Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Xu Shu will play together, dammit, just think about the imagery, it’s still pretty wonderful!

And I have one table at home, bah, two tables at home, and two tables outside, and then I can also play, and the bets can be exciting!

Especially with other wives,

Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting!

"Ahem, this way, I will get you something nice for my husband, and keep it so that you can't sleep at night." The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth curled up, showing a smile.

"Can't sleep at night?" The girls were taken aback for a moment, and then they all lowered their heads in embarrassment. Among them, Yuan said in a mosquito-like voice: "Husband, this...you don't need it."

"Yeah!" The girls nodded in response.

But they were also moved, because Zhang Xiu was worried that they would stay alone all year round and wanted to get "things" for them, but he was still thinking about them.

But they really don't matter.

"Eh?" Zhang Xiu had a strange expression, and looked at the girls speechlessly. What's going on in these girls' heads?

"Wait here, I'll get you some good things." Zhang Xiu did as he said, got up and left, he was going to the kiln factory, and let the people inside burn a pot of good kiln out.

Burn dozens of sets of mahjong for him, he has to enrich his spare time life.

But before going, he had to go to the study to copy the patterns of mahjong.

"Eh!" The faces of the girls turned even redder, and their stunning cheeks were about to bleed, but Zhang Xiu actually asked them to wait.
Is it bad?

And you don't need to go out of your way to get that thing, right?

Cai suppressed her laughter, pulled Zhang Yi and joked, "Sisters, I won't rob you of this thing, and I don't need it either."

"Sister Cai, you are making fun of us too." The girls were a little bit dumbfounded, and also more curious, why Zhang Xiu was in such a hurry to get this thing.

Time passed by, and the morning was almost over.

Looking at the bright sun hanging high, everyone was stunned.

Isn't it to take things for "pleasure"?It stands to reason that he should be back in a quarter of an hour, why does it take so long?As a result, everyone was a little restless.

"Sisters, why don't we go over to see what my husband is doing? Why hide in the study all morning." It was Yuan Shi who spoke, with a sweet voice.

It stands to reason that she should have the airs of the Yuan family, but Zhang Xiu specifically confessed to her that she should be like sisters with them, otherwise she would divorce and marry.

Therefore, the relationship between several women will not be very rigid.

As soon as these words came out, the girls nodded in unison, and then a beautiful landscape slowly approached the study, with their waists bowed cautiously.

It was approaching, before they were ready to take a peek, Zhang Xiu had already opened the door.

"??? What are you doing?" Zhang Xiu was at a loss.

"No, it's okay!" The women waved their hands guiltily, but out of the corner of their eyes, they saw the blueprints in Zhang Xiu's hands, with various special patterns drawn on them.

"No, aren't you going to get something for "fun"? Is this a misunderstanding?" Fan lowered her head and muttered softly, her cheeks blushing even more.

"Husband, what is this?" Mi Zhen asked curiously.

"Mahjong, I can't explain this thing clearly in one sentence or two. I will explain it to you in the future. In short, anyone who has played it can say it well, and those who have never played it are too lazy to learn!"

Zhang Xiu said something, and then went straight to the kiln factory.

He naturally knows the charm of mahjong. In the age of materialism, information flood, games, and entertainment to death, mahjong still has a strong dominance.

He didn't know it before. Since the meeting, he has never been home before five o'clock during the Chinese New Year. It was five o'clock in the morning, so that in his previous life, he often stopped changing during the Chinese New Year.

Then there are a lot of compelling reasons!

What does it mean to spend Chinese New Year with family members and not have time to code words, what to go out for a drinking party and go to sleep after drinking too much, what to visit relatives and friends, these things do not exist, these are illusions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu stepped faster.

People are in the Three Kingdoms, mahjong is still rubbed, what more can I ask for!
When the Three Kingdoms are unified in the future, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao will all be brought to play mahjong. If they lose, let their wives take off their clothes. If they lose, they will lose!

Really can't do it, help them take off one piece?
Damn, it's exciting just thinking about it!

It is estimated that Liu Da'er will die of anger!
Shaoqing, kiln factory.

The kiln factory was outside the city, and Zhang Xiu ordered it to move out, and also rebuilt it. The place is much bigger, and it supplies several counties around the city, and even transports it to other places by water.

The kilns in Xiangyang are of good quality!

All kinds of pottery pots are produced here, and they can even be polished and glazed. There were glazes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the color was monotonous. Zhang Xiu also gave some pointers to add some color.

At this time, the kiln owner came quickly.

The factory owner is a thin man, trembling to come, that is a nervous.He is just a kiln owner, how can He De let a party of princes come in person.

After meeting, Zhang Xiu raised his hand.

"Hey, you can take a look at this thing. Make it this size for me. I will burn a hundred of each pattern on it. After it comes out of the kiln, it needs to be polished and glazed. How long will it take to finish it?"

Zhang Xiu said, taking out a wooden block and handing it over.

That is the size of his own gestures.

"One hundred?" The skinny man didn't dare to be careless, took a few glances at the drawings, and said in a moment of contemplation: "Prime Minister, these things have no embryos, and they may need to be carved."

"After making the embryo and engraving, it has to be dried in the sun, and then it needs to be processed after firing. As for the glaze, it may take at least a month before and after!"

"One month?" Zhang Xiu frowned, "Well, I've passed on the task to you, and you arrange someone to finish it for me as soon as possible, and there will be a reward for doing it well."

"Promise! I will definitely do my best and dare not slack off in the slightest." The thin man said firmly.

"A kiln costs three to five thousand dollars, so if Hu'er gives him thirty thousand dollars, it's considered rushing work and making embryos." Zhang Xiu said lightly.

"Prime Minister Zhesha is here, and this money must not be accepted." The thin man was taken aback, and said quickly, who is that, that is Zhang Xiu.

Take Zhang Xiu's money?Damn he didn't dare.

Zhang Xiu ignored it, dropped the money and left.

When I left, I muttered, "It's still a month away, it seems that I can't play mahjong until winter, I'm irritated.

Shaoqing, outside the mansion.

Zhang Xiu came from afar, and a scribe hurriedly greeted him, "My lord, the order of Shao Jia's mansion is waiting here for my lord, please come to the prime minister's mansion."

Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows, showing surprise: "Why is Wen He looking for me?"

"It seems to be related to Jiaozhou. The matter is urgent, and Jia Shaofu didn't say much." The scribe recalled a little, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu strode towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He thought he could be free these few days, but who would have thought that he would be free for a whole morning, and he wasted it, what a pity.

However, the change in Jiaozhou might have something to do with Shi Xie. I am afraid that this person is unwilling to enter the court, or he has made some demands.

Not long after, in the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing Zhang Xiu rushing over, Jia Xu and the others stood up and clasped their fists together, saying in unison: "My lord!"

Zhang Xiu's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now I heard the rumors from the scribes that there are some changes in Jiaozhou? What are the changes?"

"My lord, after you ordered Shi Xie to urge Shi Xie last time, I also secretly sent secret guards to investigate, and found out that Shi Xie and the Nanman in Sichuan have been in close contact recently."

"But this time, it's no surprise that he still chose to ignore it. Presumably he was waiting for Yuan Shao, and he also united with the Southern Man in Sichuan and Sichuan, so he has no fear of our army."

Jia Xu looked gloomy and said in a deep voice.

"You don't want to enter the court?" Zhang Xiu lightly sneered: "Didn't I say before that if he ignores it, then the army will overwhelm the country and let him know that Hanwei cannot be bullied."

"As for the group of Wuxi Nanman who are with wild beasts, it's nothing to worry about." Zhang Xiu didn't take it seriously. He naturally knew about the Nanman, Zhuge Liang's spring campaign and autumn harvest.

It's not a serious problem!
To put it bluntly, they are a group of half-witted savages.

"My lord, do you want to send troops to the state?" Lu Su frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Why not?" Zhang Xiu asked back.

"My lord, now that Jingzhou is facing internal and external troubles, if you send troops rashly, it may give Xiaoxiao people an opportunity. If these people secretly inform Yuan Shao, the consequences may be disastrous."

Lu Su said with a solemn expression.

"Heh, a few small fish floating in the water are also used to mess with me in Jingzhou? What's more, Yuan Shao will never dare to send troops before the spring, otherwise I would like to kill him in advance."

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, without any fear.

He wasn't really afraid of Yuan Shao, and of course what he said was bragging, because he knew that when Gongsun Zan was defeated in the spring of the coming year, Yuan Shao would be ready to go south.

This has the same meaning as going south to fight Cao Cao in history.

It's just that Cao Cao was replaced by him.

If Shi Xie is not killed at this time, and if he really makes trouble in the rear, the threat may be even greater, so it is better to take this opportunity to eradicate him in advance.

"Uh, this..." Lu Su was a little speechless.

Before he followed Sun Ce, he had never seen Sun Ce so rampant!

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, fell into deep thought, and said for a long time, "My lord, if this battle is like a war, you should know yourself and your enemy."

"As far as I know, there are tens of thousands of soldiers under Shi Xie's command. And the barbarian soldiers of the Wuxi Southern Barbarians range from a few thousand to more than ten thousand, and there may be tens of thousands."

"Furthermore, among the southern barbarians in Wuxi, the sudden bones are about two feet long, they don't eat five grains, they feed on raw snakes and vicious beasts, and they have scales and armor. Even Lu Bu may not be able to match their bravery."

"In addition to the fact that the enemy army has gathered an army of [-] this time, how many southern expeditions do you think is appropriate to lead the army?"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Xiu.

"Jiaozhou is full of poisonous miasma, and it would be wrong to lead a large army in. In this way, this time, only [-] elite soldiers are needed. I will conquer Jiaozhou and let the world know the consequences of disobedience to the great man."

Zhang Xiu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and shouted.

"Ten thousand?" Everyone frowned in unison, showing a blank expression.

The opposite is also a land of one state, and there is a high probability of uniting the Nanman, with nearly 1 soldiers and bravery, Zhang Xiu only brings [-] people. Isn't this going to give away the head?

"In a barren land, ten thousand elite soldiers are enough!" Zhang Xiu was confident, or it would be bad to bring too many soldiers this time, because the poisonous smog and miasma had a serious impact.

Logistics is more of an issue.

It should be feasible for 1 light soldiers to go straight into the lair of Jiaozhi Shixie.He doesn't want to attack the city all the way, it's not enough trouble for him!

"This!" Jia Xu hesitated, "My lord, since you have made up your mind, then lead the Second Army to go out. The soldiers under Wen Pin's command have experienced many battles and are worthy of a heavy responsibility."

"Well," Zhang Xiu nodded, "I'm going to announce to the world that Shi Xie has committed adultery and treason and charged him with crimes. I want the world to see the military might of the great man."
