No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1040 The Old Lady Who Doesn’t Spoil the Fun

"So actually you admire Cao Cao very much. You also said before that Cao Cao at least taught his sons well. Cao Cao should not have to worry about having no successors." Sun Quan smiled and suddenly remembered that the old lady seemed to admire Cao Cao very much. Whenever she mentioned it, she never scolded him.

"Actually, Cao Cao is in a difficult situation now, because he has to find an heir." Ou Mengmeng thought about the bad things that happened between Cao Cao's sons, shook her head gently, and gently rubbed his face. "Your mother is the smartest woman I have ever met. She can make decisions on everything. I have no ambitions in my life, and I have been under your mother's wings all my life. She often said that when she gave birth to your elder brother, she dreamed of the moon, and when she gave birth to you, she dreamed of the sun. You are the unicorn son of our Sun family! You must be better than Cao Cao!"

Sun Quan smiled. His aunt was always like this. She would never tell them that they were wrong. She always believed in her children and supported them as much as possible. When they were young, she would stand in front of them and tell their biological mother that it was okay for a child to do something wrong. Even now, she didn't think they were wrong. She just told them that maybe now was not the right time.

Of course, when Sun Quan left, Ou Mengmeng did not chase him for the "Chronicle of Emperor Wu" anymore. She would not live to see that day anyway, so all she could do was to solve the trouble that had come to her door. If Sun Deng had not been forced upon her by Sun Quan, she would not have brought up the "Chronicle of Emperor Wu" to make a fuss. It was none of her business who was made the crown prince.

Sun Quan finally left peacefully, and Ou Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that at this age, I still have to provide emotional value to my son.

Think about it, Sun Quan is really similar to Emperor Wu of Han. When he was young, he was really good. For example, he loved to study and wrote a book to encourage learning for Lu Meng. He dug canals through several provinces in Dongwu, strengthened internal connections, and laid a solid foundation for Jiangdong and Jiangnan to turn the southern barbarian land into a rich granary. He was good in both civil and military affairs!

Of course, he made mistakes as well, such as the mistakes that Emperor Wu of Han made in his later years, such as superstition of alchemists, vanity, and extravagance. He made every one of them.

Ou Mengmeng won't say anything about this. She understands Sun Quan very well. For example, the delayed retirement in modern times has caused many people to be miserable. According to history, Sun Quan "started work" at the age of 18 and worked for 52 consecutive years until his death. Anyone who hasn't retired at the age of 70 will become confused. What's more, he is not too confused.

So she understood all his actions after he turned sixty. He had worked all his life, and he was not allowed to do what he wanted? As an old lady who didn't want to spoil the fun, she didn't stop her son.

After Sun Quan returned, he met Sun Zhao and asked him what he thought, and then assigned him to Sun Lang. Sun Zhao was also very happy, because he had said that he was eighteen years old and he should be selected as a filial and honest official to prepare for entering the government. But Sun Zhao grew up in the Sun family, and his brain was not broken! Although his identity was awkward, he was still quite self-aware.

At this time, he and his fifth uncle were asked to take care of the National Medical Hall and some miscellaneous matters, which was much safer. He hurriedly asked if he could bring Zhou Xun with him, as they were both very interested in printing.

Zhou Xun was Zhou Yu's eldest son. He and Sun Zhao grew up together and were both interested in printing workshops. At this time, the two boys rushed into the National Medical Hall together, and everyone knew that they were going for printing technology. In name, the papermaking and printing workshops were all under the control of the National Medical Hall.

This did not have much impact on Sun Quan's reputation. It was obvious at a glance that this was the idea of ​​the two boys themselves. Moreover, allowing them to enter the workshop also represented Sun Quan's confidence in his nephew. You know, the printing workshop is the highest secret for the world. Sun Quan allowed Sun Zhao and Zhou Xun to go together, which showed his trust in the two. At least, no one except Zhang Zhao has entered the printing workshop. They have only seen the appearance of the finished book. What they don't know is that the finished book samples they see now are not real printing techniques. Ou Mengmeng also thinks this is good. In addition to doing what they like, it is more important to be safe. Especially for someone like Sun Zhao. It is better than letting them go to the army to gain experience, so that people will not think that they have gone to steal the credit and take the blame for them. Moreover, in the army, you really don't know how you died. Like Xu Kun, didn't he die from a stray arrow in the battle! So, swords and arrows have no eyes, but people who use swords and arrows have eyes!

As for Zhou Xun, Ou Mengmeng just thinks there is something wrong with Zhou Xun's age. Historically, the birth and death years of Zhou Yu's eldest son Zhou Xun are unknown, but records show that Zhou Yu's second son Zhou Yin was born in the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD). Zhou Xun should have been born before 200 AD.

In history, Sun Quan married his eldest daughter, Sun Luban, to Zhou Xun. Interestingly, Zhou Xun died soon after marrying Sun Luban. After Zhou Xun's death, Sun Luban married Quan and gave birth to two sons. Zhou Yu's daughter was made the crown princess and married to Sun Deng. Both marriages took place during the Huanglong period from 222 to 229 AD.

So Ou Mengmeng didn't think about it anymore. Liu Bei could marry a 20-year-old woman at the age of 50, and Zhou Xun could marry an 18-year-old woman at the age of 30. It didn't seem to be a problem. It would be fine to let them hang out with Sun Lang. It just so happened that Sun Lang had more and more things to do, and he really couldn't handle it.

Sun Lang had long wanted to hand over all the things he was doing. But he had more and more things to do, such as the current economic problems, so he had to go to their government office with Zhang Zhao to make plans. Sun Lang was really too busy to do everything.

As for the two of them being together, what good things were they thinking? So Zhou Xun was asked to manage the National Medical Hall, and Sun Zhao was asked to go to the papermaking workshop. He could go to the printing workshop, but the core was not allowed to enter. Even his nephew was not allowed.

When the two boys heard that they couldn't be together and couldn't work in the printing workshop, they could only watch from afar. They didn't want to do it anymore! Sun Lang laughed, what good are you thinking? Although I am only a few years older than you, I am also your uncle.

Sun Lang did it on purpose. He knew that the two would not work with Zhang Zhao. As for why they were separated, it was really a trick. The two were used to working together. If they were in different places, they would naturally cooperate. This would not be of much help to Sun Lang. If they were separated, each of them would be responsible for one area. In the future, it would be equivalent to them cooperating with each other and managing two departments together. In this way, the two people would be familiar with the affairs of the two places, and the result of one plus one being greater than two would be achieved.

Of course, Sun Lang did this because he really liked being a headmaster. Now what he and Zhang Zhao talked about most was how to open schools for ordinary people in various places without leaving any trace.

Don't think that after the emergence of printing, these nobles seem to be joining. But their joining is also based on interests. This is the most reliable and the least reliable. The most reliable thing is that their plunder of wealth is inhumane. But in the basic education of civilians, there is no room for negotiation, and they behave very consistently. At this time, they can't push these people to the opposite side, at least not now. But they can restrict them. Slowly tighten your pockets and slowly boil these people with warm water. So, he is even busier. He must use all his mind, so the technical content of the National Medical Hall and the Paper Mill, in his opinion, is far worse. The tolerance rate is much higher.

The paper mill belonged to Sun Shangxiang, but nominally it was under the National Medical Hall. The National Medical Hall was in charge of Sun Lang. So Sun Lang could really send people to Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang was so angry that she jumped up and down. It was not that she didn't want a nephew, but she felt that her brother said that the paper mill had the least technical content. How could Sun Shangxiang bear this?

After the Three Kingdoms is over, we return to the modern era to conclude. The editor said, why don’t you start a new story? I thought so too. If you write about an old lady traveling through time and space, in fact, each story can only be told from the perspective of the old lady, which is a bit boring. It’s better to change the protagonist, which will be fresh for me and you. After all, this story has two million pages, and everyone is tired of it.
