To worship the heaven and ancestors, to meet ministers, visit the people, and to consult the orphans, Sun Ce's itinerary was arranged very closely, and there was almost no time to spare.

Of course, he asked himself to ask for some things and visited ordinary people. Most people opposed him to do this, especially Guo Jia, who thought he was giving the assassin a chance, but Sun Ce still felt it was necessary. In this era, whether it was a monarch or a scholar, he did not have much position for ordinary people. For them, these were just cattle and sheep that were grazed. They could have food, clothing, and production with peace of mind, so that they would not cause trouble, which was the greatest care. They could not be equal to the ruling class and intellectuals.

For a long time, the so-called people did not include them, at least they were not the center of gravity. Therefore, ordinary people had no feelings for them. Once the situation was wrong, it would be like a bad person to abandon them. They entered Yue in the south, Hu in the north, sea in the east, and mountains in the west. They did not hesitate to do anything, and they had no nostalgia.

What he had to do was to break this concept and expand the scope of the people to every citizen. The tall buildings started from the ground, the more solid the foundation, the more stable the building. The main body of civilization was sinking, and civilization could last longer. It was not enough to rely solely on the elite class. Ensure arable land, reduce taxes and exemptions are to allow the people to survive, and to open schools are to improve the quality of the people, broaden their horizons, and have the ability to assume obligations and fulfill their rights.

Knowing that all he saw were selected middle-class families, and the real poor could not get close to each other, Sun Ce still looked at it very seriously. It was also a skill to see the truth from the places he had concealed by the officials. In his previous life, he could only see clues of the facts from the words and lines of history books. Now he wants to use this skill to actual government affairs.

No matter what, he was also a person influenced by modern media and knew a little about how to find the truth from the news. However, this often made him have an illusion that his enemies seemed to be no longer the emperor, Yuan Tan, and Cao Cao, but the group of officials with respect in front of him. They fought wits and courage, and there was no negligence.

Reform is not easy, especially after entering the deep water zone, one step is a disaster that will lead to failure. We must be more careful.

As the queen, Yuan Heng followed Sun Ce from beginning to end and inseparable. She did not understand Sun Ce's behavior very much. After all, the way of being a king in the education she received was not like this, but the way of using troops was closer. Sun Ce was a military man and established a country with military merits, probably because she had the previous habit of attacking. She had the experience of following the army and had also rewarded Sun Ce many times, so she was not unfamiliar with this.

She did not agree with this approach, but she would never object to it. She just accompanied Sun Ce and shared the joys and sorrows with Sun Ce. Although her physical strength was far from comparable to Sun Ce, she felt sore all over and had swollen legs after walking one day. She just arranged a female doctor to give her a massage before going to bed, and continued to follow her as if nothing had happened the next day.

Sun Ce also saw it and did not stop it. This is her responsibility and no one can replace her.

In addition to the routine visits every day, Sun Ce also has a lot of military affairs to deal with. At this time, Yuan Heng would not follow him, but she would let someone - usually Yuan Quan - prepare a midnight snack and see the time to send it out. If there are female officials from the officials coming together, she should also receive it appropriately and comfort her from multiple parties.

Yuan Heng quickly received praise from the government and the public, and almost everyone thought that Yuan Heng was a perfect queen. He had to be beautiful, temperamental, and ability, and the only thing he lacked now was a legitimate son. But this is not a problem. The queen is healthy and has many children in a year. After the eighteenth year, there will be good news soon.

Mrs. Yuan was no exception. When she came from Wujun a few years ago, she brought several boxes of clothes for children. From the newborn to the ones that could walk, winter, summer, spring and autumn, everything was available. When she saw these toy-like small clothes, hats and shoes, Yuan Heng liked and shy, leaned on Mrs. Yuan's shoulder and smiled.

But Sun Ce had no time and energy, and he was dragged down by the increasingly tense situation.

News came from Gan Ning that the navy had arrived in Jiangling, had rested and was ready to march. But the situation was not as smooth as Gan Ning said. Li Tong, the prefect of Nanjun, wrote a letter to sue Gan Ning for killing innocent people, robbing merchant ships, and plundering property. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, also wrote a letter to sue Gan Ning for violating the regulations and without official documents. He forced the stock of Changsha County, and injured people.

Sun Ce was a little too big and had to send a letter to Zhuge Liang, who was responsible for the military farming in the four counties in Jingnan, rushed to see it. In the western expedition of Ganning, military rations should be provided by military farming. Only when the quantity is insufficient would they use the grain reserves of each county. It is unreasonable to have a conflict with Ganning and Changsha County. This matter is related to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang is good at reconciling relationships and let him go over and see the situation. Zhuge Liang is the person who went out around him. No matter how arrogant Ganning is, he dare not ignore Zhuge Liang. If he really wants him to deal with it himself, Ganning will not have good results.

News also came from Yuzhou. The Yanzhou family was divided into different factions. Yuan Tan's army entered the Hebei part of Dongjun. The vanguard had already entered Dongwuyang, and there was a possibility of seizing Cangtingjin and entering the hinterland of Yanzhou. While Cao Ang comforted the Yanzhou family, he moved the main force of the army along the Yellow River. The Sui River defense line was almost empty. There were generals who were eager to make contributions and wanted to take the initiative to cross the dividing line. The sneak attack on the back of Yanzhou was stopped by Man Chong. But Man Chong didn't understand Cao Ang's thoughts and sent someone to report to ask whether to send an envoy to contact Cao Ang.

Henan was not peaceful either. Liu Bei led tens of thousands of cavalry to advance westward and joined forces with Xun Yan. There were more than a dozen ferry crossings in Xiaopingjin, Mengjin and Wushejin. It seemed that Xun Yan and Liu Bei might cross the river. Lu Su cavalry was insufficient and could not give up Henan easily. The situation was very tense. Xin Pi analyzed that from various signs, Yuan Tan had the possibility of advancing Chenliu and forcibly attacking Junyi, and reminded Sun Ce to pay attention.

All the things were all concentrated in Sun Ce. Although the Military Advisory Office was busy day and night, Sun Ce was also working hard to deal with these changes. The Military Advisory Office could analyze and propose solutions, but he could only do the decision. Government affairs and military affairs were mixed together, leaving him with no time to take care of the affairs of the harem.

Sun Ce often had the urge to deal with it himself, but he knew that Zhang Hong, Yu Fan and others also advised him that some things would be problematic even if they knew that they would handle them, but they could only do this. As a king, he could not take on all matters with all his strength and thoughts. The ability and thinking of officials would be different, and the processing effect would be good or bad. But this is the opportunity to choose a minister. If he handles everything himself, and other officials do not have the opportunity to practice, how can he show his ability?

Sun Ce suppressed himself and encouraged himself to be more open-minded and more Buddhist, and to get used to being a leader rather than being trapped in a bunch of affairs.

Especially after learning that Xi Zhicai was exhausted.

——

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Cai Mao had a great banquet for guests in Jingu Garden.

The invitation was delivered to Sun Ce. Cai Mao did not expect Sun Ce to attend in person. It was just a courtesy, as long as Sun Ce sent a representative to show up. His real purpose was to invite business partners and related officials with business dealers. The new ship experiment came to an end, and his business scale could be further expanded and more networks were needed.

Sun Ce had no intention of going there, but after a while, he was just over and wanted to find an opportunity to relax, so he made a decision to see how big Cai Mao’s business was. The data was very clear, but the data was data after all, not intuitive enough. Cai Mao was a big tax revenue player, so he should also support it to show that he valued business, not to talk about it.

Cai Mao was caught off guard and was both excited and embarrassed when he ran out to greet him. His round face was covered with oil and his eyes were flashing. He kept winking at Huang Yueying behind him, but he did not intend to invite Sun Ce into the room. Huang Yueying was not prepared, so he could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands innocently.

Huang Chengyan walked out of it and bowed to Sun Ce. "He will be a minister, Chengyan, and have met the king."

Sun Ce quickly returned the favor. This was not only a minister, but also a father-in-law. Needless to say, this was to rescue Cai Mao. Looking at Cai Mao's expression, you can tell that the identity inside is much sensitive, and it will affect the atmosphere if he sees it. It is best not to meet directly.

"This manor is good, more elegant than the manor in Taihu Lake." Sun Ce said with a smile: "Is there a quieter place? Is the military affairs have been busy recently and haven't been close to Mr. Huang for a long time. Today I have a rare opportunity to talk to each other?"

"I can't ask for it." Huang Chengyan winked at Cai Mao. Cai Mao felt relieved and said quickly: "Yes, yes, please follow me. To be honest, I am an expert in building gardens. Since the garden was built, I have seen a lot. There are a few big and small banks on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and none of them can compare with my Jingu Garden..."

"That's right? Even Jian Xiang built Taichu Palace to imitate you." Cai Jue and Cai Ke appeared at the middle gate and looked at Cai Mao with disgust. Cai Mao was startled, and the oily sweat on his face became even more dense, and he shook his hand awkwardly. "Big sister, I don't mean that. Taichu Palace is a royal palace, I don't understand, so how can I be qualified to say anything."

"Go with your group of wine and meat friends, don't get upset here. The smell of money when you open your mouth, which makes people feel hurt."

Although Cai Mao was scolded, he knew that the eldest sister was for her own good. He stumbled twice, bent his waist, laughed, and saluted, and ran away like a frightened rabbit. Cai Jue then bowed to Sun Ce. "My father is not confused, he is more pampered and has insufficient education. Please forgive me."

Sun Ce laughed and waved his hand to show that it doesn't matter. He knew the temper of this mother-in-law. Although others scolded Cai Mao like a grandson, he was actually a protector. As the youngest, Cai Mao was not only his parents, but his eldest sister was no exception. However, as Cai Mao gradually grew up, Cai Jue gradually became an adult. He felt that this was not a solution, so he became stricter.

"Sister-in-law, where is the national etiquette?" Sun Ce looked at Cai Ke. After not seeing each other for a year, Cai Ke became a little richer and kind-hearted. It seemed that he had a good time during this period. After Sun Fu transferred to the prefect of Kuaiji, he often asked the county magistrate Gu Yong for advice and made great progress.

"He has not come back. He said that the situation has been tense recently. As the prefect of Kuaiji, he has a heavy responsibility and cannot leave easily. He must protect the rear."

Sun Ce smiled. "That's a pity. I want to try what new dishes he created."

Cai Ke covered his mouth and smiled. "When I arrived at Jingu Garden, the king still ate his dishes? Why not cook and cook a few private dishes that are not rumored by the Cai family. Please give it a taste of them."
