Chapter 58: Innocent world (below)

    The tide came and went, beating on the island known as "Liugong Island".

    Before this year, this was a deserted island, except for the occasional fishing boat to take shelter from the wind and waves, there was no one inhabited. There is a Liugong Temple on the island, which was originally a temporary base for fishermen passing by. Now it has been completely expanded and has become an annex of the Cao Shipyard.

    Weihai opposite Liugong Island, a large area of ​​land belongs to the Cao family and Ding's Maternity and Infant Hall.

    Although Donglai County has a large population, most of them are concentrated in the west, close to Beihai Kingdom and the county seat. This area of ​​Weihai is a newly developed area in the Eastern Han Dynasty and belongs to a fief of Liu Shiting Hou. This Marquis Ting is already very marginal in terms of blood. He doesn't like the seaside with inconvenient transportation, so he lives with the Liu family in the remote county all the year round. The Cao family undertakes the annual offerings to him, so he generously allows the Cao family to build a shipyard on Liugong Island.

    There are thousands of orphans before and after arriving in Weihai, Qingzhou. After the winter, because the first batch of food from the south arrived, the Cao family began to increase the migration of adult hungry people.

    The production decreased by 80% last year, and this year there is no harvest. Although it starts to snow in winter, it still cannot relieve the hunger in Sili and Yuzhou. The yellow-faced and thin-skinned victims arrived at the shore of the Bohai Sea in groups. At the request of the servants with weapons, they changed their rags and washed their bodies. Then the men were responsible for reclamation and construction, and the women were responsible for making winter clothes and taking care of the children.

    The broken families are mixed together to form a new work form that seems to be a mechanical gear.

    Chen Wuxie is eight years old this year. In addition to the civil and military classes, more time is spent on the organization of the school teachers: collecting firewood, lifting water, fertilizing, catching insects, cutting wood, and pushing a wheelbarrow to transport various raw materials.

    If you want to talk about the benefits, there are also some benefits, that is, if you work hard, you can see some minced fish for dinner. The innocent plank is well cut, and the error can be within the so-called "two millimeters" of the standard ruler, so it is particularly favored by the shipyard's buyers, and he is specially awarded three points more than others. Wu Xie exchanged all the points for eggs, and asked the maid sister of the nursery hall to make egg custard and feed it to Chen Bandou.

    I heard that eggs are the most nourishing for children.

    In the beginning, the eggs were sent from the chickens on the ship, and the price was as high as 100 points. Later, Weihai also opened up a chicken farm, which was reduced to 30 points, and Wuxie earned seven points a day. Each point means that every five days, half a bucket can eat an egg. Therefore, Chen Bandou is one of the most enviable children in the nursery.

    "Brother, I think it's really nice here." It's spring again, and this year's rain is plentiful, and the wheat and millet seedlings in the fields are thriving. Victims who have just experienced famine looked at this scene with hopeful smiles on their faces. Even a child as big as Bandou was overjoyed.

    At this time, the Cao family organized most of the people to go south.

      , avoiding the less-controlled southern Yangzhou and northern Jiaozhou, detouring from the sea to Chenxiang Island, and after a round of screening and diversion on the island, some people went to work in the Caojia farm near Panyu, while others were sent to on the South Island.

    There is a reason why Ah Sheng suddenly increased his movements.

    In December of the ninth year of Yanxi, the first disaster of party restraint broke out in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. More than 200 people including Li Ying and Chen Fan from aristocratic families were all dismissed. In order to fill the vacancy in the imperial court, the emperor promoted Cao Song to the position of Colonel Sili. Sili Colonel, Zhang Biao, who was a Sili Colonel back then, forced Cao Teng to commit suicide to save the family. The power of Colonel Sili can be seen here.

    Cao Song is actually ignorant.

    At the beginning of this year, he just started to be a little transparent, but at the end of the year, he was promoted to the emperor's confidant Sili Xiaowei. There is of course an element of luck here. The conflict between the emperor and the aristocratic family broke out. Cao · has nothing to do with the aristocratic family and has nothing to do with the eunuchs today. Song picked up a big bargain.

    Nowadays, the Yuwei of the Han Dynasty is still there, and the post of Sili Colonel is out, and the prefects of various places have to give face.

    So Ah Sheng generously let the orphans board the ship from Yangzhou. Zhoushan Islands belonged to Kuaiji County at this time, which is the hometown of Goujian, the king of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was one of the earliest developed areas in Yangzhou, and the public security was relatively guaranteed.

    Wu Xie and Bandou were dismantled in Qingzhou.

    Wu Xie learned to swim in a year because of her hard work, so she got on a new sea boat in Weihai and was bumpy at sea for more than a month. On the way, she encountered two small storms, seasickness and vomiting It was dark and dark, and it was only a dismal arrival in Zhoushan. When he got off the boat, Wu Xie didn't want to smell the sour oranges in his life. What about his scurvy, can't there be a cure for seasickness?

    Half-old children and adults built rudimentary settlements on the Zhoushan Islands, and also carried out small-scale land reclamation, only to wait for the long-awaited women and children in summer May. When the northwest wind picked up in the autumn, ten medium-sized ships were gathered, and they set off south again.

      Landing, even with our family's medical conditions, dozens or hundreds of people will die."

    Wu Xie no longer vomited, she sat cross-legged on the deck and swayed. "Master Zhao, since the miasma and barbarians in the south are so terrifying, why should we go to the south? Isn't it good to be in Weihai, Qingzhou?"

    Innocent is the first question among the children every time. He seems to have a rebellious air in his chest, which drives him to question at any time.

    The corner of Zhao Qi's mouth evoked a smile: "Do you know what news the boat that came from Jian'an County sent yesterday? Liuzhou floods, Bohai Sea overflows! If the owner ordered Weihai to collect in advance Food, and a shelter was built on the mountain, tsk tsk, I am afraid it will be difficult to feed the remaining people."

    The children were shocked, and their thinking was still stuck in the drought.

    "Big water? How could..." Wu Xie muttered to himself.

    "Drought and flood follow. Since the first two years were severe droughts, the lost water will naturally be made up in a certain year. Isn't this a flood? In fact , Since it snowed last winter, the master has asked us to prevent waterlogging, but you are still young, so I didn't tell you to prevent unnecessary panic." Zhao Qi patted Wu Xie's head, "You despise meat eaters, Why don't you think about how much you can do for others. Do you think that the master is the one who wears fine clothes all day long? The depth and breadth of her devotion is beyond your imagination."

    Wu Xie lowered his eyes: "The master of the Cao family is good, and we are all convinced. But how many good masters can there be in the world?"

    Zhao Qi raised his eyes and looked at the boundless sea water on the side, but did not directly answer the innocent question: "After you arrive in Nandao, you will officially enter the school. The principal of Nandao School is Qin Liu, He is... In short, when you come to him, you must be obedient. If you read more, you will broaden your horizons. If you broaden your horizons, you will have an open mind. Your questions today may be able to find answers in the future."
