Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 282 The Xu Family's Loyalty Is Weaker Than Grass

Unlike the students' diaries, this letter is thick, but it focuses on the key points.

The time for writing the letter was the first day of Gongsun Hao's army's return trip, that is, in July.

At the beginning, Xu Yue learned from Xu Mei's diary that the Xujiazhuang base area had been established, and had formed conflicts with the surrounding tribes.

The reason is that the tribal leader planned to marry Xu Mei by force, but was rejected.

Now in the letter, this matter has come to fruition.

Xu Mei and other students united with another tribe and wiped out the tribe that planned to marry Xu Mei by force, and the sphere of influence of Xujiazhuang's first base area expanded again.

And because of the powerful strength and advanced combat methods displayed by the Xujiazhuang students in this battle, the surrounding tribes were quite afraid.

Relying on the local natives' temporary fear of themselves and others, the branch of Xujiazhuang in Jiaozhou developed rapidly.

Before the big ship returned, Xu Nai and others were already opening up wasteland, clearing up farmland, recruiting local tribesmen, and planting rice on a large scale.

Calculated according to the current time, this batch of rice has matured, Xu Nai and others are already self-sufficient, and have surplus food to continue to expand outward.

Under the banner of a caravan, they came to Jiaozhou for reclamation, intending to grow grain and transport it to the north for sale to earn the difference.

Of course, the main reason is that the people in Xujiazhuang gave too much!
The local government was originally held by the local indigenous leaders, and the local Han officials in Qing Kingdom only played a supervisory role, and they had been recruited by the locals to become their own people for so many years.

Therefore, the actions of Xu Nai and others did not attract much attention from the local government.

Now Xu Nai and others have laid a base in Jiaozhou, but they are short of manpower, so they applied to Xu Yue in the letter to send another group of students over.

They wanted students who knew how to farm, but also those who were skilled in arithmetic, management, and construction.

That is to say, Xu Nai and others plan to use Xujiazhuang as a template to establish an identical Xujiazhuang branch in Jiaozhou.

However, the theme is agricultural development, rice planting, supplemented by local light industry, using water power to build paper mills, textile mills, sugar factories, salt factories, and rubber factories.

They want to realize the industrial power that Xu Yue once said in class in Jiaozhou, so as to achieve the goal of continuously providing logistics supplies for the Northland.

Seeing the three words of water power, Xu Yue frowned unconsciously.

Xujiazhuang's water power is actually based on the water magic circle of sister Xu Erniang, otherwise, the real water power building factory would be much more difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and maintenance is also very troublesome.

If you want to build these factories in Jiaozhou, don't you have to bring your sister's water magic circle there?

Xu Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the matter first, and continued to read another letter.

This was written by Xu Rong, one of the three girls, in late July.

When Gongsun Hao's big ship returned, it first went to Gaodao to see Xu Rong and others who decided to stay in Gaodao to spread civilization.

Xu Yue can now get the letter from Xu Rong, which proves that the two remaining students have successfully entered the local aborigines.

However, it was done in a religious way.

Speaking of which, Xu Rong is also a genius. In order to control the local Gaoshan aborigines and make them obey him, he actually created the identity of a Celestial envoy out of thin air!
Xu Rong said that she was a maidservant serving the true God, and she came down to earth this time only to convey the will of the true God, educate the people, and help them get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible.

With various small chemical experiments and the things brought from the Xu family, the local Gaoshan people really believed it, and treated Xu Rong and others as guests, and planned to build an altar to invite the true god to descend.

Therefore, Xu Rong said in the letter that he begged Xu Yue to send her a true god, otherwise those smart people among the natives would doubt her.

Xu Yue: "."

Let's just say, these students one by one, can we not go astray!

But thinking about the territory of Gaodao, Xu Yue swallowed her saliva, combined with the demands of Jiaozhou Xu Nai and others, decided to call the family together later, hold a family meeting to discuss which true god to send there.

Xu Yue is serious. Jiaozhou and Gaodao only rely on Xu Nai and others, and there is no one in charge of the overall situation. After all, they are almost ready.

As for their family of five, A-Niang is fighting, and A-Day is doing logistics for A-Niang, and there is still one person left to maintain the operation of the family. Once the elder brother is out of control, Xu Yue will directly remove him from the list of candidates for the true god.

Then, only she and her sister are left.

Xu Yue has already finished copying the books of the Yan Family Academy, so she can leave at any time.

If it is really necessary to send someone to Jiaozhou, Xu Yue thinks she is suitable.

Gongsun Hao, who was lazily leaning on the soft pillow beside him, yawned. He had already taken a nap just now, and seeing that Xu Yue seemed to have finished reading the letter, he asked:
"My craftsmen used the old boats to change two more sea-going ships. In addition to the expedition No. [-] that has already returned, we now have three sea-going ships. The rest of the sea-going ships are still under construction. By the end of the year, there should be another Can build five."

"However, this is already the limit. If the movement is a little bigger, the general will not let it go like this."

The implication is that if the Xu family wants to do something big, they will have to do it next year at most.

Otherwise you have to stop working.

But how can it be enough to rely on eight sea-going ships?
Xu Yue and Gongsun Hao looked at each other, and instantly felt the pressure on him.

However, who is not stressed?
Now that Wubao has expanded to this point, it is already the limit that Gongsun Zan can tolerate. That's why they thought of Jiaozhou's secret development.

But shipbuilding is a major event. If merchants build large ships privately in Sun's Yangzhou, which is famous for its water warfare, it will be a felony against the law.

Once you are targeted, just put on a hat casually, and you will be doomed.

This is exactly what Gongsun Hao was worried about.

Everyone in Yuyang knows the heart of the Xu family!How could Gongsun Zan not notice it at all?

He just can't think of it now, his family uncle has already colluded with the Xu family.

Fortunately, now that several forces in the North are fighting, Gongsun Zan still has no time to take care of these trivial matters.

Moreover, he still wants to use Wang Pingping and Xu Da. Without this couple, he will definitely fail miserably.

At least, now that the battle at Guandu is imminent, he will not touch the Xu family at all, not only will he not move, but he will also comfort them so that Xu Da and Wang Pingping will not join hands to stab him in the back!

In the final analysis, they are all just taking advantage of each other. The loyalty of the Xu family is weaker than grass.

Outsiders can see that Gongsun Hao doesn't know, he only knows that now he and the Xu family are grasshoppers on the same boat, and there is no escape!

Fortunately, Gongsun Hao was not depressed for too long, so Xu Yue brought him a few bottles of high-quality wine, put ice cubes on it, and drank happily, all worries disappeared.

Xu Yue waited for Gongsun Hao to fall asleep drunk, put away the empty wine bottle on the table, nodded at Ah Da, and asked him to take good care of Gongsun Hao before leaving the hall.
