Chapter thirty-eight again

Life after settled is not boring. Now Chang'an is in a mess, and Ye Zhao is going to implement new policies. Industry and commerce cannot develop as vigorously as Shuzhong. Now Guanzhong's main energy is still above farming. After the effect of manure promotion this year comes out, even if the government does not need to persuade him again next year, a large number of people will definitely follow up spontaneously.

As for the things that Shenji Camp is currently studying, most of them are in the direction of transportation. After the rat car, there was another human lever car. Ye Zhao remembered that this kind of thing had been seen on TV in his previous life. Two people stood on the car board and used the lever to let the car go. However, it was used on the track. With the current conditions, it was obvious that the track could not be laid. The wooden wheels did not have shock absorption or something. It was easy to overturn if they walked too fast.

In short, with the continuous participation of talents in this field in the academy, the speed of inspiring new things has been significantly faster. Leverage and pulleys, which can amplify the strength several times, are constantly improving. Although it is not sure whether it can give birth to the steam era, with continuous research, the mechanics has now begun to be recorded. If it continues to develop like this, mechanics will be continuously promoted. As for how far it can go, this is not what Ye Zhao cares about. Anyway, I guess he will not be able to reach the extreme in his lifetime, let alone breeding new scientific and technological civilization.

Most of the time every day, he would take his two sons to cultivate, weed, fertilize and sow the ten acres of fields in the Ye family. Seeing Cai Yi wrinkle his nose and carefully scatter the manure into the farmland, Ye Zhao felt a little funny. Every day when he returned to the mansion, the father and son were all stinking. Even with Cai Yan's calm mentality, he couldn't help but complain that Ye Zhao was too harsh on his children.

After all, Cai Yi is still young now. When Ye Zheng was as old as Cai Yi, Ye Zhao was leading his army to the war. He rarely came into contact with these at this age.

It’s just that he complains, but Ye Zhao is more arbitrary in the issue of education and cannot tolerate others interfering. Even if Cai Yong wants to teach Cai Yi, he has to finish his daily farm work.

However, the effect was also good. In half a year, Ye Zheng and Cai Yi's body had a lot of bones. In addition, there was a special doctor to prepare the diet of the two, and the meat and vegetables were balanced. Ye Zheng, who was only ten years old, grew very fast with enough nutrition and constant exercise. He was less than eleven years old, but his body was more than six feet tall, which was no less than a thirteen-year-old boy.

With some physical exercises taught by Ye Zhao since childhood, he looked very powerful.

"Husband, it's time to eat!" Liu Wei, Cai Yan, Ren Hongchang and Xin'er each came out of the city with a rice basket and called out to Ye Zhao and his son from afar.

He was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and he looked like a peasant woman. In addition, Ye Zhao and his son were also short-dressed. If Dian Wei and the Qinwei Camp were not on the side, they would have looked like an ordinary farmer. Who would have thought that such a family would be the Taiwei of the dynasty who held the power of Guanzhong and Yizhou, and his family was extremely family?

Ye Zheng and Cai Yi looked at Ye Zhao with a gaze when they heard this.

"Eat!" Ye Zhao looked at the sun and nodded.

Cai Yi cheered and ran away. Ye Zheng was more disciplined and put the farm tools together with Ye Zhao before he came out. Uncle Liang also followed and brought a basin of water to the three of them.

"Dian Wei and the others are just doing these tasks. Uncle Liang is old. What do you think?" Ye Zhao wiped his hands and glared at Dian Wei and said, "There is no strength at all."

"Lord, I..." Dian Wei said speechlessly: "I think so, Uncle Liang said this is his business."

"Young Master, don't blame them. The old slave has served the young master for the rest of his life. These soldiers must protect the young master's safety. It's better for the old slave to do these things." Uncle Liang said to Ye Zhao with a smile.

"Let the soldiers take turns to eat." Ye Zhao sat down and greeted Dian Wei: "You come here to eat."

"Here!" Dian Wei sat down with a silly smile: "After eating, Mrs. Xin'er's meal is the best!"

"It's not good to let the sister-in-law of the Liu family hear this." Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Be careful when you go back and kneel down on the washboard!"

"She dares!" Dian Wei glared.

"I hope I can still be so tough after I go home!" Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The sister-in-law of the Liu family ran from Jiwu to Suiyang to sue, and Dian Wei was also subdued at that time. Later, she settled in Suiyang. After Ye Zhao pacified the Yellow Turbans, she was recruited into Luoyang. The woman also went with her. She knew her thoughts about Dian Wei. Ye Zhao was a matchmaker for the two when she was in Luoyang. Dian Wei was usually a tiger-like spirit. Except Ye Zhao, he dared to resist anyone who came, but when he returned home... The rumor that Ye Zheng got from Dian Man that Dian Wei's status seemed to be low in his family, and he was a woman who was very capable of managing the family.

Looking at the teasing smiles of Ye Zhao and his son, Dian Wei knew that his wise and powerful image of his life had been destroyed by the little bastard. It seemed that it was necessary to find time to reason with this brat and let him know who is the god of this family. Don’t think that if you have a stepmother to protect him, you can do whatever you want.

"Eat!" Ye Zhao took a sip of the soup and greeted everyone.

It was also the suggestion of Liu Wei and Cai Yan that the men at home chose farming as women, and they should do their duty as women instead of staying in the mansion all day long.

"Why have Zhaoji and Xin'er eaten very little recently?" Ye Zhao suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Cai Yan and Xin'er in confusion, frowned and said, "Is it because I'm sick?"

"It's not that I'm sick, but that I'm pregnant." Liu Wei curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Xin'er has it too?" Ye Zhao looked at Xin'er unexpectedly, but saw Xin'er shyly lowering her head, as if she had done something wrong.

Xin'er is Ye Zhao's earliest woman. She has been with Ye Zhao since Suiyang. Now she is over thirty years old, but she has never been able to get pregnant. Ye Zhao always thought Xin'er could not get pregnant.

"Xiner has found many famous doctors over the years. I remember several imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital said that when Xiner was born, the mother was in a cold air, which had an impact on Xiner, so she could not get pregnant. Xiner has been asking doctors to help her with treatment over the years." Liu Wei thought for a while.

When Liu Wei married Ye Zhao in Luoyang, Xin'er had privately begged Liu Wei for help, but as a woman, she could not have children. Although Ye Zhao had always been very nice to Xin'er, she always felt a little regretful.

"Congratulations to young master, the Ye family is going to open up the family." Uncle Liang smiled and bowed to Ye Zhao with a smile. As a servant in the Ye family for the rest of his life, the Ye family was the happiest thing that made him happiest.

"When I am pregnant, why are I still running out all day long?" Ye Zhao stood up, helped Cai Yan and Xiner up, frowned and said, "Let's go, go home quickly and get well in cultivation."

"Husband, it's not intrusive. The doctor also said that you should go out and have a walk." Cai Yan said with a smile and shook his head.

It is a big deal for the Ye family to be a child. For people in Chang'an, it is even bigger than the pregnancy of Concubine Tang. On that day, Ye Zhao specially made a favor and asked Ye Zheng and Cai Yi to rest for a day without having to farm. However, the academy still has to go to, but even so, it made the two little guys very happy.

After a woman passes thirty, her mother is more valuable than her son. Even if she has no children, Ye Zhao is good to Xiner and Ren Hongchang, the two concubines, which are good to others, is enough to make the relatives of other families envious. However, if she has a child, her status will be more stable in both outsiders and herself.

Ye Zhao also specially invited a famous doctor to diagnose Xin'er carefully and confirmed that Xin'er did have it. However, because of her weak foundation, the doctor estimated that after giving birth to this peptide, Xin'er would probably be difficult to get pregnant again. Therefore, both Ye Zhao and Xiner attached great importance to this baby.

A team of Niefan camps was specially dispatched to protect them day and night. Soon after, under Ye Zhao's hard work, Liu Wei and Ren Hongchang also got pregnant as they wished. So Ye Zhao's life became much more busy. In addition to teaching his two sons and handling official duties, he would spend a lot of time to accompany his beautiful wife and concubines. In addition to being unable to have sex, his life was quite comfortable.

Not only Guanzhong, but during this year, the whole world seemed to have fallen into a strange calm. Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Liu Biao and Lu Bu in the north, they were all quite peaceful, and the only turmoil was the only place in Jiangdong.

Ye Zhao knew that this was the tranquility before the storm, and the general trend of the world had begun to gradually become clear. Now it is a very critical time. At this time, the silence of the princes is just accumulating strength. When these accumulated powers burst out, the whole world may usher in the most chaotic period.

Ye Zhao was also accumulating strength to prepare for subdue Xiliang, but his methods of subdue Xiliang were slightly different. In March of the fourth year of Jian'an, after Ye Zhao started spring plowing in Guanzhong, he sent someone to contact Han Sui and Ma Teng, mainly to make peace, hoping that both sides could get along well and not fight and kill, and at the same time, he hoped that the Silk Road could be opened and make money together.

Ye Zhao is now in great power. Not to mention Shuzhong, there will be an army of 150,000 in Guanzhong alone, and they will almost catch up with the population of the two places. Faced with such a huge creature, neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui are willing to provoke it. Now Ye Zhao has taken the initiative to live in peace, and the two are naturally happy.

As for business, the two had no reason to refuse.

In June, the caravans in Guanzhong began to travel to and from the countries in the Western Regions, and at the same time they also traded with various cities in Xiliang, including the Qiang people. They treated them equally. As long as they were willing to trade with them, the caravans in Guanzhong would trade at a very fair price. By the end of the year, there were more than twenty Qiang tribes that reached trade with the caravans in Guanzhong.

Moreover, for this, several Qiang tribes migrated directly to the Han area to establish gathering places.
