Chapter 1245 Lu Country
Lu State.
Cao Pi stood on the head of the city of Qufu, looking at the busy people with his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passes by like a flash of time, always sneaking away inadvertently, and unknowingly it has been two years since Caozhou founded.
After being a monarch for two years, Cao Pi seemed more mature, but he also felt more lonely.
Three years ago, he set out from Langya and led by Lu Sheng to Caozhou along the Yingzhou coastline. In the north of Caozhou, Cao Ang landed in the first place he came to.
As soon as he set foot on this strange land, he and the subjects of Lu were shocked by the vastness and barbarity of this continent.
Although the trees on the Caozhou continent are thicker than those on the waist, they look like the wilderness of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Although the conditions are poor, the potential is great. The fertile land is oily and various minerals are also quite rich. Cao Pi is confident that within 20 years, it will be built into a rich country no less than any prefecture or county in the Han Dynasty.
Unfortunately, their destination was in the southern part of Caozhou. Although he wanted to gain a foothold in the north, he did not dare to go against the wishes of Cao Cao and Cao Ang, so he could only convince the people to take a boat south.
When I arrived in the south, Cao Pi felt so painful. It was more wilder than in the north. The trees needed several people to hug each other. The grass was tall and large, and there was no place for people to take their feet. What was even more nonsense was the natives here. It would be fine if they didn’t wear clothes, but it would be tolerant to apply colors on their bodies, but what the hell was it that you put on a wooden stick thicker than your thumb on your lower lips?
When I thought of pushing a wooden stick as thick as a thumb through my lips and fixing Cao Pi like an earring, I trembled. How painful it was.
The climate here is also humid and hot, which makes him very uncomfortable when he grew up in the north, but he has no choice but to be at peace since he comes. Moreover, the people who have been on the boat for more than a year are unwilling to leave, so he had to settle down here, clear the open space and build houses, and prepare to live in.
Fortunately, Cao Ang's nanny's attributes played a role again. Before coming, they prepared too many useful things for them, such as medicine for treating skin diseases such as eczema, protective clothing for walking in the tropical rainforest, shovels, sickles and other daily necessities. The people of Lu took these things to clean up all the trees and weeds that they couldn't stand along the way, and opened up a land for living with both hands.
Moreover, it is quite hot here in winter, which does not affect normal work at all.
Although most of the people of Lu were prisoners and gangsters who fought against organized crime and evil, they quickly turned to justice when they arrived in a strange territory, which inspired the hard-working spirit of the Chinese people. They did not stop resting in winter and continued to cut down trees and reclaim the land. They were very busy.
There is no way, there is no entertainment here, and there are no honest people to bully them. I've been idle and bored. I've been thinking about it and I have only the only way to pass the time.
Moreover, most of them do it themselves and rarely capture the natives as slaves.
It’s not that they are so kind, mainly... how to say it, the natives hide in the deep mountains and forests to find it inconvenient. They don’t know how to work occasionally and need them to teach them. They don’t understand the language. It’s better to do this yourself than to do it yourself if you have this skill.
In this way, more than 100,000 people directly opened up the land of Lu for a hundred miles, and still opened up at a speed visible to the naked eye. As for how big it can be opened in the end, it depends on the total area of the land and the growth rate of the population of Lu.
Cao Pi was very confident in this. He believed that with his ability and the technology brought by the Han Dynasty, he would definitely be able to build a more powerful country than Lu in his lifetime than Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period.
So when he was founded, he did not name the name randomly, but used the name of the capital of the Gulu Kingdom, Qufu, to tell himself that he was from the Han Dynasty opposite the sea.
Qufu is still a bunch of thatched huts, and even the city walls are built of wood, which is not much harder than paper, but Cao Pi doesn't care at all. This is just a temporary capital. When the Lu Kingdom is larger in the future, it will naturally be moved.
The most important thing is that there are no opponents here. The natives have been afraid of being killed by them. When they see them, they bypass them. There are no large beasts in the forest, all of which are sloths, armadillos, capuchins and other small animals, and they have no attack power at all. The only threat to them is probably the piranha in the river, but the fish cannot reach the shore, and they usually do not go down the river, so they cannot pose any threat. Besides, it is really too anxious to see who can eat whom.
With this idea, he did not make a big project and had been busy reclaiming wasteland and growing food for two years.
To survive and develop, if you want to develop, you have to survive.
Cao Pi stood at the top of the city, squinted his eyes and thought about the future development plan of Lu's country. He was so immersed in his mind that someone patted his shoulder. Looking back, he found that Zhen Mi was standing behind him at some point, holding a little girl in her hand.
This is the second child that Zhen Mi gave birth to him, and it is only less than three months old.
On the way to Lu State, his wife Cai could not stand the bumps on the boat and unfortunately passed away. Zhen Mi successfully became the wife of the king of Lu State.
Cao Pi took the child from her and rebuked him very gently: "The wind is strong on the city, what are you doing?"
What men fear most in their lives is that their beloved women suffer with them. Zhen Mi is the daughter of the Zhen family, a prominent family member in Hebei. She has never even done heavy work since she was a child. When she came here, she ate coarse food and lived in thatched houses with her, and had to make up for her clothes. She didn't even have a competent wet nurse during her confinement period. Every time she thought of these, she felt very uncomfortable.
Zhen Mi smiled gently on her face and said, "I'm not worried about you, so I come up and take a look. It's late autumn again, and it's time for you to be busy with the autumn harvest."
The State of Lu has just started and must focus on agriculture. Autumn harvest is a major event and cannot be neglected at all.
Cao Pi nodded, grabbed his men and walked towards Duke Lu's mansion.
The so-called Lu Gong Mansion is just a larger courtyard house, with all the houses made of wood and not a single brick.
When he returned to the room, Zhen Mi tidied up her things while muttering, "Rui'er is three years old, I don't know what she looks like now, and whether she has been bullied by that bastard Cao Sheng."
曹晟在丞相府是出了名的混世魔王,与他同龄的就没有没被揍过的,甄宓每次想起远在海洋彼岸的儿子就一阵心揪,生怕爱子受到那个不省心的大侄子的欺负.
Every time she mentioned this, Cao Pi would listen quietly, and wait until she finished talking and comforted her: "Don't worry, although Sheng'er is naughty, she protects her like her father. I believe that anyone who dares to bully Rui'er will definitely be the first to rush forward."
"We are working hard here to do something. I hope Rui'er will not work as hard as we do in the future. In my lifetime, I will build a vast and rich Lu Kingdom and hand it over to Rui'er in my hands."
I understand the truth, but my longing for my beloved son is like a bone dying of the heart. The torture people are extremely uncomfortable. Zhen Mi said leisurely: "Zihuan, I want to bring Rui'er to Lu."
Cao Pi shook his head and refused, "I know you miss him, and I miss him too, but what can he do when he comes to Lu? Just like us, is it different in the Han Dynasty. There are the best teachers and the best learning environment there. Even if you don't do anything, you can learn a lot by following your father and elder brother. It will only benefit and not harm in taking over Lu in the future."
"Mi'er, you have to know that if a family and a country want to be strong, there will always be a generation that needs to sacrifice. Is it your son who you want to make sacrifices?"
Zhen Mi stopped talking.
