Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 205 What They Want Is The World

I haven't seen her for more than a year. Not only has the little girl grown a lot taller, but she is also missing a few teeth. She looks cute and funny.

"Gongsun Hao!"

The little girl trotted into the courtyard, waved at him as she ran, and smiled happily, exposing her now uneven teeth, very enthusiastic.

Gongsun Hao has never seen a little girl laugh like this at such a sensitive moment. Watching her dress up as a boy, he greeted her and joked:
"Changing into men's clothing, could it be that you really think of yourself as a boy?"

Xu Yue laughed, knowing that he was making fun of her teeth, she shrugged her shoulders, and said generously: "I can't help it, this is the pain of growing up, I hope it will fall out soon, so that I can grow good teeth again."

The original body was malnourished all the year round, and he had no awareness of oral hygiene, so his teeth were actually quite unhealthy.

It's good to change it now, after which she can have a healthy set of teeth.

Seeing her, Gongsun Hao didn't feel embarrassed at all, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "As expected of a girl from the Xu family, just like your father, shameless."

"Why, how did my father offend you?" Xu Yue crossed her arms and stared at the middle-aged man in front of her with dangerous eyes, as if protecting her calf.

Gongsun Hao was startled, then waved his hand, stopped joking, pointed to the bag in the pavilion and said:
"The time is too short. The rice seeds in the south can only be collected so much for the time being. If you want more in the future, I will ask someone to bring them for you."

Xu Yue looked at the bulging burlap bag, ran over quickly, first glanced at Gongsun Hao, saw him nodding, and immediately opened the bag.

The rice seeds collected from various places were divided into small bags and packed in sacks. Xu Yue poured them out and counted them, and there were eleven small bags.

Gongsun Hao explained: "I don't know whether it is the same rice species, but they are all harvested from different places, so there should be some differences."

"That's right." He pointed to the enclosed vegetable field in the corner of the yard, "What's growing there?"

"I don't know." Xu Yue opened her eyes and said nonsense, "It's just a bought seed, you can look at it casually, and I won't know what it is until it grows up."

How could Gongsun Hao fail to see her perfunctory?The tactful one didn't ask again.

"Okay, let's put the rice seed aside first, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Gongsun Hao lifted up his robe and knelt down on the cushion, Wang Shi and Xu Yue who came after them looked at each other, and the mother and daughter also sat down opposite him.

Mrs. Wang never liked to waste time talking nonsense, so she opened her mouth and asked:

"Can your boat go to sea?"

Going to sea?

Gongsun Hao looked serious, "First, the first emperor ordered craftsmen to build a large ship that can go to sea, and it was only from the East China Sea to Liuli Island. After that, no one knows what happened to this large ship."

"For hundreds of years, the boats built by boatmen are faster and stronger than those of the previous dynasties, but the farthest distance traveled is only from Xuzhou to the Yangtze River to Jingzhou. During this period, encountering In cloudy and rainy weather, we have to stop the boat and wait for the weather to clear before sailing through.”

Therefore, although their family's boat traveled by sea, it could only go from Yuyang to Bohai Sea.

No matter how far the distance is, firstly, there is no shipping route, and secondly, if encountering a storm at sea, the hull cannot resist at all, and the risk of death is too high.

"I've thought about taking the sea route from Youzhou to Jiangdong, so that more goods can be transported and the speed is faster, but no one can guess the risks at sea, and the boats built by the boatmen can't go against the wind, so they can't go against the wind. Shelved it." Gongsun Hao said regretfully.

Xu Yue asked, "What if there is such a boat?"

Gongsun Hao shook his head, looking like you are still too young after all, "You can't do it just by discerning the direction."

"The sea is not like land. There are guiding inscriptions or markers to identify the direction. On the vast sea, looking around is full of sea water. You can't tell the direction at all. This is a dead end!"

Xu Yue and A Niang looked at each other, Wang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and suddenly took out a palm-sized round object from his sleeve, with a pointer on it, and some strange symbols marked on the dial.

"What is this?" Gongsun Hao asked curiously.

Wang put the compass in front of Gongsun Hao, did not rush to explain, but let Gongsun Hao look at the red arrow on the compass, and then turned the dial.

But see, the red arrow, no matter what direction the dial is turned, it will always point to the north.

Seeing Gongsun Hao's surprised expression, Xu Yue thought of the surprise she had never seen before when A Niang held the compass in front of her.

That appearance is not exactly the same as Gongsun Hao's expression now, but it is also [-]% similar.

But the difference is that she was surprised that A Niang even made a compass, while Gongsunhao was surprised that there is such a thing in this world.

Originally, Xu Yue also planned to exchange the energy fruit for a compass, but after A Niang found out, she said that she could make this thing and told her not to waste the energy fruit.

Thus, there was this compass.

Magnets are quite difficult to find, but fortunately Xu Da is here, relying on his current status, as long as he releases the news, most of the gentry from aristocratic families who want to curry favor will help him deliver what he wants.

There are very few people who know the magical effect of magnets. Most of them get it by accident. They regard it as a rare ornament and show it off to their friends when they have the opportunity. They don’t care what kind of function it can play.

But because of this, the quantity is pitifully small, the entire Youzhou is so big, Xu Da only got two small pieces back.

But for Mrs. Wang, two small pieces are completely enough.

Thus, the compass was born.

After Mrs. Wang explained the use of the compass to Gongsun Hao, Gongsun Hao fell silent. He had already guessed that the Xu family must have something unusual to say when they invited him over.

Or win him over and ask him to support Gongsun Zan.

Or they want him to abandon business and return to the military, so that he can be used by Gongsun Zan.

In short, Gongsun Hao thought about many possibilities, but in fact, he guessed them all wrong.

The mother and daughter in front of him were very different from Xu, they didn't want to assist Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Hao is a little confused, Xu Da and the mother and daughter are a family, right?
Why does it seem that the mother and daughter and Xu Da are not on the same side?

The mother and daughter are so well prepared, even the blueprint of the sea ship is prepared, what are they going to do?
This man, who traveled all over the country and spent half his life as a soldier, was rarely lost in confusion.

Xu Yue and A Niang glanced at each other, looked at the confused middle-aged man in front of them, silently took out the sailboat blueprint, and pushed it in front of Gongsun Hao together with the compass.

"The first five-year plan is to build ships, seize ports, seize Jiaozhou, open up wasteland and grow grain! Gongsun Hao, do you want to board the ship?"

Gongsun Hao flipped through the blueprints of the sailboat, and while shocked, he was full of bitterness.

Does he still have the option of disembarking now?
What does this family want is to assist Gongsun Zan as an extremely human minister?

He suspects that what they want is the world!
