Different from the student diary, although this letter is thick, it talks about the key points.

The time of writing this letter was the first day of Gongsun Hao's return trip with his army, which was in July.

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

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

Now in the letter, the matter has come to a conclusion.

Xu Mei and other students united with another tribe and destroyed the tribe that planned to marry Xu Mei by force. 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 temporary fear of the local indigenous people towards themselves and others, the Xujiazhuang branch in Jiaozhou developed rapidly.

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

According to the current time, this batch of rice has matured, Xu Nai and others can be self-sufficient, and have surplus grain to continue to expand outward.

Under the guise of a caravan, they came to Jiaozhou to reclaim land, intending to grow grain and transport it to the north for sale and earn the price difference.

Of course, the main reason is that the people in Xujiazhuang give too much!

The local government was originally held by local indigenous leaders. The local Han officials in Qingguo only played a supervisory role. Over the years, they had been won over by the locals with benefits and became their own.

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

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

They need students who know how to farm, and people who are proficient in arithmetic, management, and construction.

In other words, Xu Nai and others are planning to use Xujiazhuang as a template to establish a similar Xujiazhuang branch in Jiaozhou.

However, the theme is agricultural development, rice cultivation, supplemented by local light industry, and the construction of paper mills, textile mills, sugar mills, salt mills, and rubber mills using water power.

They want to realize the industrial power that Xu Yue once talked about in class in Jiaozhou, so as to achieve the goal of continuously providing logistical supplies to the North.

Seeing the words "hydrodynamic", Xu Yue frowned unconsciously.

The water power in Xujiazhuang actually relies on the water magic circle of sister Xu Erniang. Otherwise, building a real water power plant would be much more difficult, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and troublesome to maintain.

If you want to build these factories in Jiaozhou, wouldn't you have to bring your sister's water magic array with you?

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

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

When Gongsun Hao's ship returned, it first went to Gao Dao to see Xu Rong and others who decided to stay on Gao Dao to spread civilization.

Xu Yue can now get the letter written by Xu Rong, which proves that the two remaining students have successfully penetrated into the local indigenous people.

However, the method used is religious belief.

Speaking of which, Xu Rong is also a genius. In order to control the local Gaoshan tribe and make them obey his orders, he actually created the identity of an envoy of the Celestial Clan out of thin air!

Xu Rong said that she was a maid serving the true god. She came down to earth this time just to convey the will of the true god, educate the people, and help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible.

With the help of various small chemical experiments and the things brought from the Xu family, the local Gaoshan tribe actually believed it, and treated Xu Rong and others as guests, and planned to build an altar to invite the true god to come.

Therefore, Xu Rong said in the letter that she asked Xu Yue to send her a true god, otherwise the smart people among the indigenous people would doubt her.

Xu Yue: "..."

What we are saying is, can these students, one by one, please stop going astray!

But thinking about the territory in Gaodao, Xu Yue swallowed her saliva, combined with the appeals of Jiaozhou Xu Nai and others, decided to gather her family together and 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. There is no one who can take charge of the overall situation. After all, they are still not close to success.

As for their family of five, grandma is on the war, dad is providing logistics for grandma, and there is still one person left to keep the family running. Once the brother is out of control...Xu Yue directly puts him off the list of candidates for the true god.

middle.

Then, she and her sister were the only ones left.

Xu Yue has finished copying the books in the Yan Family Academy and can leave at any time.

If it was really necessary to send someone to Jiaozhou, Xu Yue felt that she was very suitable.

Gongsun Hao, who was lazily leaning on a soft pillow next to him, yawned. He had just taken a nap. Seeing that Xu Yue seemed to have finished reading the letter, he asked:

"My craftsmen have renovated two more sea-going ships using old ships. Together with the expedition No. 1 that has returned, we now have three sea-going ships. The remaining ships are still under construction. By the end of the year, we should have another sea-going ship.

Five ships can be built.”

"However, this is already the limit. If the action 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, it will have to start next year at the most.

Otherwise, work will have to stop.

But how can eight sea-going ships alone be enough?

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 has reached the limit of what Gongsun Zan can tolerate, so they thought of developing Jiaozhou secretly.

But shipbuilding was a big deal. If merchants built large ships privately in Sun's Yangzhou, which was famous for its water wars, it would be a serious crime against the law.

Once you are targeted and slapped on a random label, you will be doomed.

This is exactly what Gongsun Hao is worried about.

Everyone on the street in Yuyang knows the Xu family’s intentions! How could Gongsun Zan not notice it at all?

He just hasn't thought yet that his family uncle has already colluded with the Xu family.

Fortunately, now that several forces in the north are fighting, Gongsun Zan still can't spare any time to take care of these chores.

Moreover, he still needs Wang Pingping and Xu Da. Without these couple, he will definitely fail miserably.

At least, now that the Guandu War is imminent, he will not touch the Xu family in the slightest. Not only will he not move, he will also comfort them to prevent Xu Da and Wang Pingping from teaming up to give him a stab in the back!

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

Outsiders can't see it, but Gongsun Hao doesn't know. He only knows that now he is a grasshopper in the same boat as the Xu family and cannot escape!

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