Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 627 News from the North

In the courtyard of the Chu Mansion, several uncles did not come today, and Chu Le was not very happy. Every time these uncles came, they always brought some food. If they don't come today, that means... I don't have any snacks.

"Daddy, aren't Uncle Fengxiao coming today?" Chu Le looked at Chu Nan expectantly.

"How can I come here every day?" Chu Nan shook his head. Others want to rest and take a bath, but he also needs to have his own private space. After coming back for so long, he has sorted out the government affairs, and he can spend more time with his wife and children. How wonderful, it is very brain-consuming to surround the simulated sand table every day.

"Hungry again?" Chu Nan looked down at his daughter, and pampered her head.

"Well, there are some, but mother said that you can eat it at mealtime." Chu Le nodded: "Daddy, what do you have for lunch?"

"Don't keep talking about eating." Chu Nan said helplessly, "How about Daddy telling you some stories?"

"Okay, okay." Chu Le nodded happily.

Chu Cheng on the side is still reading, but his ears are leaning towards this side. Obviously he also wants to listen to stories, but he can't be as useless as his useless sister. He is a literate child.

"Once upon a time, there was a little duck, probably because it came out of its shell too quickly. It was ugly, with crooked eyes, snub nose, and messy fluff, so it was often ridiculed and rejected by other brothers and sisters, and they all called it an ugly duckling. And no matter what it does, it is slower than others, and it almost drowned itself when it was learning to swim, so I don’t take it with me when I play on weekdays.”

"But it is not content with being ordinary, so it studies hard and studies hard. Finally, after continuous hard work, other ducklings are playing, but it works hard day and night, studying swimming skills and learning to prey. Finally, as the ducks gradually When it grows up, it becomes the leader of the duck flock with its strong strength and excellent hunting skills."

Chu Nanjue’s version of the ugly duckling is more logical. The original version sounded nothing wrong when I was a child, but when I grew up, I felt something was wrong. Whether it works hard, it seems that it will not become a white swan.

Chu Nan was very satisfied with his changes. When he looked down at his daughter, he saw that the corner of her mouth was drooling.

Chu Nan: "?"

Chu Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Pay attention to your manners."

"What manner?" The elder sister looked at the younger brother blankly.

"Drool." Chu Cheng said while helping his forehead.

Chu Le wiped his saliva when he heard the words, raised his head and hugged Chu Nan's arm, and begged, "Daddy, I haven't eaten roast duck for a long time, shall we have roast duck today?"

Chu Nan nodded helplessly: "Alright."

Why is a good inspirational story associated with eating?

never mind!

Chu Nan gave up guiding his daughter's values, and turned to look at his son: "What do you think of this story?"

"Although what my father said is superficial and absurd, there is a hint of encouragement in it. As long as you work hard, you can change your destiny." Chu Cheng said with a smile.

"It's not all. Each group has different ways of living and class. In animal groups, generally strong animals can become the leaders of the group. Therefore, the most important thing for the ugly duckling is to choose the right direction of efforts. If it chooses It is to study hard to incubate eggs, and despite the same efforts, it still cannot become the leader of the group." Chu Nan shook his head with a smile.

Chu Cheng faintly felt that what his father said had a deep meaning, but he couldn't figure it out.

Are you saying that your efforts are in the wrong direction?
The five-year-old child didn't have much scheming, so he asked if he didn't understand, looked at Chu Nan and said, "My child has read the books of sages, is this the right way?"

"Learn more things, of course it's right, don't you overwhelm yourself with too many skills?" Chu Nan nodded, not denying his son's contribution. Unlike his daughter, his son is talented and intelligent, and he was also lucky by Chu Nan when he was a baby. Nourishing, not only has a photographic memory, but also has a strong body.

But looking at his son now, Chu Nan would somehow think of Yang Xiu who is equally talented. For scholars, Yang Xiu is undoubtedly extremely intelligent and talented, but from the perspective of a politician, what he saw Only the conceit brought about by talent and learning.

"My son should ask himself more about what kind of person he wants to be in the future, and then look at how to become such a person. The book of sages and sages is certainly reasonable, but when Confucius became an official in Qi State, Qi State lost its overlord But why?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Chu Cheng was at a loss, what happened?
He recites the Book of Songs, but he is not very clear about history. It is rare to be able to read the Book of Songs at a young age.

"There is a lot of knowledge in this world, and each kind of knowledge is the wisdom and experience summed up by the sages throughout their lives, but it also contains their prejudices. Although my son can read and even recite the Book of Songs, he does not know the true meaning. These poems are Under what circumstances did the poet create it, why did he create it, and why did he have such emotions? What is the meaning behind this poem?"

"My son always says that the Book of Songs is well understood, but does my son know the answers to these questions?" Chu Nan laughed.

"I don't know." Chu Cheng shook his head.

"It's okay, think about it slowly, life is still very long, and many people have difficulty understanding this question in their lifetime. My son has been smart since he was a child, so he will definitely be able to think clearly." Chu Nan laughed.

"Ah."

"It's time to eat." Lu Lingqi shouted to this side.

"Let's go!" Chu Nan got up and went to the main hall. Xiao Chule was faster than him, and flew directly into the main hall.

"Is there no roast duck?" As soon as Chu Nan entered, he heard Chu Le's disappointed and aggrieved voice.

"What roast duck?" Lu Lingqi looked at her daughter in confusion, did you say roast duck today?Liu Mei frowned slightly: "Don't mess around."

"Let someone roast one for Le'er alone, I just promised her." Chu Nan laughed.

"Daddy is the best~" Chu Le broke into tears and smiled, showing his family his profound face-changing skills.

"My husband spoils her too much!" Lu Lingqi frowned.

"This has nothing to do with pampering. Since I agreed, I will do it myself." Chu Nan shook his head helplessly.

"That's it~" Chu Le made a face at his mother.

Lu Lingqi raised her eyebrows, and wanted to teach by example, but was stopped by Chu Nan: "Since you and I are parents, we should set an example. If you and I can't keep promises with her, how can we be trustworthy people in the future?"

"She's still a child." Lu Lingqi felt that the child should not be too spoiled.

"Because of this, you should do it yourself. This time is also wrong for your husband." Chu Nan asked his wife to sit down.

Lu Lingqi was helpless, but just as Chu Nan would not intervene when she was disciplining her children, she would not intervene when Chu Nan was teaching her. She just felt that she should be stricter in the future. This daughter...doesn't let herself go at all!

As the government affairs were sorted out, Chu Nan's life began to become more relaxed, and he spent more time with his children. As for the government affairs, Chu Nan was responsible for controlling the general direction. If everything is done by himself, the land of Kyushu has a population of nearly 20 million , even if it is now an extraordinary body, I am afraid it will not be able to bear it.

The infiltration of Jiangdong and Jingzhou has been going on, and the layout of the hundred coins has been completed. The next step is to wait for a large amount of property to pour in.

At the end of the year, Chu Nan received the news, but it was not from Jiangdong and Jingzhou. The effect of the currency did not appear so quickly. The news came from the north, and it was the news sent back by Lu Bu.

"It doesn't mean..." Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong beside him with some uncertainty.

"It's gone." Chen Gong sighed, "Last year, Marquis Wen chased all the way to the north of the North Sea, and the people of Karasuma could only continue to flee north. Most of the cattle and sheep froze to death for the things prepared for the winter, and finally a large number of people in Karasuma froze to death, and there was a plague at the beginning of the year, and when Marquis Wen found it again, the land of Karasuma had become a dead zone."

"It's a pity." Chu Nan felt a little regretful. The repairs in the north required a lot of labor. Last year alone, nearly [-] prisoners of war from Xianbei and Karasuma were sent to build the northern city and water conservancy. Now Karasuma has been wiped out. Yes, many places are still waiting for prisoners of war to repair it.

Since Chu Nan became the prime minister, in order to recuperate and strengthen the economy and people's livelihood in the north, he rarely used corvee. Therefore, many reconstruction work was done by captured prisoners of war. Now that Karasuma is destroyed, it means that at least [-] laborers have been indirectly lost.

"Of course, it's not ineffective." Liu Ye on the side laughed and said, "Recently, the Xianbei envoys have arrived in Han, and they presumably are planning to discuss the matter of surrender. This is a good thing for our dynasty."

Karasuma was beaten. Although Xianbei was not beaten to death, this winter was not easy. Although he was not exterminated like Karasuma, his vitality was definitely injured. How could he dare to see his old neighbor's miserable end? No matter how stabbed it is, it is not too unexpected to be attached to the Han like the Southern Huns back then.

"It's a good thing, but if you really surrender, it will be hard to find labor." Chu Nan knocked on the table, looked at the crowd and said: "After all, the Xianbei people are a big family in the past. Write a letter to your father-in-law. If you have spare energy, Xianbei will surrender. Before, hit again."

The problem of labor is secondary. If Xianbei has too many people, if it moves inland, there is a danger of turning back to customers. Chu Nan wants to get some people, but he can't let the other party have a chance to fight back.

"In addition, Bingzhou and Xiliang also need to relocate some people to the past. The court needs to be responsible. There will be a feasible plan as soon as possible. Immigrants will not affect our Han regime even if the Xianbei people move in from the south. Too much influence." Chu Nan: "This matter..."

Seeing Chu Nan's eyes sweeping over, Jia Xu lowered her eyebrows, as if she had fallen asleep.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and was in a hazy state of drunkenness.

Liu Ye looked at Xu Shu, and Chen Gong also turned to look at him.

Xu Shu opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "Then I will be in charge of this matter."

"In addition, we need to pay more attention to the layout of the land of Jingxiang. Wenhe, you have lived in Nanyang for a long time and are familiar with the affairs of Jingxiang. You need to do this." Chu Nan woke up Jia Xu who wanted to pretend to be asleep. , said with a serious face.

Jia Xu cupped his fists helplessly and said, "I will do my best~"

"If there is nothing else, let's go." Chu Nan got up and smiled. Recently, he began to feel that there is a lack of manpower, not at the grassroots level, but by his side. There are two unreliable people, Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Nanjue himself needs to expand his team of advisers...
