"Is there any news from Shouchun?" Liu Mang put down the information sent from the Yuzhou front and asked Jia Xu next to him. ~

"There is no big news about the military advisor Xu Shu. In the past few days, the military advisor Xu Shu is building roads!" Jia Xu replied to Liu Mang. Yangzhou is much calmer now than Yangzhou before. After such a long rest, Yangzhou, which was originally in ruins, has become prosperous. The industrial park and the entire Yangzhou commercial department are developing step by step. It can be regarded as having their own duties.

There was no big deal except for the need to supply food and grass to the front line, so Xu Shu had time to build roads.

"Yeah!" Liu Mang nodded. The road construction matter was sent by Liu Mang to Xu Shu, because Liu Mang knew that if a region wants to develop and become rich, he had to build roads. Only a very developed transportation can make the place exude vitality.

Shouchun relies on Yingshui, you can reach Baima Lake by walking along Yingshui, and then you can enter the river by following Baima Lake. Then you can pass Guangling and the sea by going down. Therefore, Shouchun is still very developed in terms of waterways, but there is still something missing on the land.

Huang Zhong has 300,000 reserve troops, with a total of only 100,000 elite combat troops. Now there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, and the remaining 250,000 soldiers and horses are not available yet.

So Xu Shu pulled out the 250,000 troops and started to build roads. At the end of the Han Dynasty, even the official road was just yellow soil, with some sand on it, and then some sunken pits were buried.

Xu Shu received Liu Mang's order not only to use sand to lay the foundation for him, but also to put cement on it. Now Yangzhou's cement is still very sufficient. In addition to being used for oneself, it is also used for civil use.

This cement is very useful in building city walls. It is not possible to take out as a military material. A large amount of cement produced is accumulated in industrial areas and is now used on road construction.

Liu Mang didn't expect to build any good road surface. As long as it could be better than the previous yellow land, it would make the official roads between Yangzhou cities more smooth. In this way, the transportation of the city would save much more effort and be very convenient.

Not only commercial transportation but also troops are allocated very quickly.

"Okay! Continue to build. There are also bridges inside, so they need to be built!" Liu Mang nodded. The development of Yangzhou was quite in line with Liu Mang's idea. "By the way!" Liu Mang suddenly remembered, "Wenhe, the one who I heard you is pregnant?" Liu Mang said with interest at Jia Xu.

"Hehe!" Even the old fox Jia Xu, a person who has long been proficient in human relationships, turned his face blushed when Liu Mang mentioned this thing, and even more, the feeling of a girl in her heart was like a girl, which made Liu Mang feel very regretful. Why should I mention this?

The one Liu Mang mentioned is naturally not Jia Xu's original wife. Jia Xu's original wife has long been over forty years old, and they are all yellow-faced women. Now it is not the medical treatment of the twenty-one world. Having a child in his forties will be fatal.

Besides, Jia Xu has been with Liu Mang to Jingzhou for several months. Before this, Jia Xu was born with illness. The dignity of a man can be considered completely lost. It was Liu Mang who gave Jia Xu a chance to stand up again.

In the past, Jia Xu had no descendants, so in order to have a successor, he adopted a child from his brothers of the same clan, so as not to lose his incense. Now, because of the small blue pills brought by Liu Mang, Jia Xuxiong has grown up and has been very good at the Jingzhou Zhongle Hall.

"How many of those are pregnant?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and joked, "The treasure sword is not old."

"Hehe, two, two!" With Liu Mang's little blue pill, Jia Xu was singing and dancing every day after he got the women in the music hall. During that time, Jia Xu's face was much whiter, but he was still a little exhausted now, but this was a bit of pain.

"It's better to have two people with handles, otherwise, you're a loss-making deal, and your title will not be guaranteed." Liu Mang joked, and Jia Xu, the old fox, jumped up like a cat with a tail stepped on. "Who said, who said he wouldn't have handles, he would definitely bring a handle."

"Haha!" Liu Mang laughed rare when he looked at Jia Xu, who was jumping around. While laughing, Liu Mang couldn't help but doubt it, because, this old man Jia Xu is already forty years old, but even if he can't do it, he can still be shot and have children. In fact, for Liu Mang, it doesn't matter whether he takes a hand or not. After all, Liu Mang was born in modern times. At that time, it was not like giving birth to a daughter now that he was a loss of money. In modern times, giving birth to a daughter is a real money-making.

It is said that you don’t have to work so hard in this life. It’s different to have a son. The son has to go to school and get married. There is no need to lose any car or house. The property is so expensive. It can be said that you have to give your son all the hard work for most of your life. It’s not a lot. You sell your house to your son and buy a house and live in the garage. And the daughter can only have a dowry in the end. The daughter is filial and can also make money at home. This is so profitable. So people say that the daughter is China Merchants Bank and the son is China Construction Bank.

Now he likes Liu Mang whether he is a daughter or a son. Why? Because at such an age, his wife has a status, but Liu Mang has no descendants yet. The biggest thing about the ancients is that he has no descendants. If Liu Mang had children, Yangzhou would be more stable because of the inheritance.

So no matter what, Liu Mang is envious of this old fox. After all, his two wives and concubines are already pregnant. However, Liu Mang is still a fatherless person. You say that Liu Mang doesn’t work hard, there are a few beautiful ladies in the family, and the two big and small tigers all want Liu Mang to squeeze them out when they meet. Qiao Yu also called him, so that Liu Mang would not have any ideas about women outside.

However, after working hard for so long, Liu Mang and his wives still had no movement in their stomachs, which made Liu Mang begin to doubt his ability. If it was a woman's problem, one problem could not have three, so it would be Liu Mang's own problem on the other hand.

Liu Mang was already very pessimistic. Is he really going to go to the Yangtze River Hospital for a look? It's not that tragic.

Just as Liu Mang was pessimistic and envious, and Jia Xu, the old fox, was showing off, suddenly a figure walked in outside the hall.

"Report to the lord, there is a girl outside the mansion asking for a meeting," Guan Hai walked in and said, clasping his fists at Liu Mang.

Guan Hai's injury last time has healed, and Liu Mang no longer needs them to do any tasks, so Guan Hai and Zhou Cang have been following him and sat down with two young followers.

"Girl?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment. Liu Mang didn't know any girl in Jingzhou.

"Haha, my lord is so excited. The flowers in this family are blooming, and the outside is also colorful." Jia Xu, the old fox, immediately took revenge. Liu Mang just cursed him for giving birth to a daughter, but now the old fox is teasing him.

"Wenhe, do you want to talk to Liu Jingzhou when you were waiting to leave Jingzhou and leave you in Jingzhou as the envoy of our Yangzhou and Jingzhou?" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe with a smile and said.

"Don't, Jia Xu is old, but he doesn't have such a heavy responsibility for his lord." Jia Xu was immediately panicked and left him Jia Xu in Jingzhou? Jia Xu is not a fool. Although Jingzhou and Yangzhou have a good relationship now, they are allies, but that is also temporary. Waiting for Liu Mang to pacify the Central Plains and resist Cao Cao's southward journey from the north, it is inevitable that he will not have any ideas about Jingzhou. Jia Xu has seen that Liu Biao in Jingzhou has not had many days to live. Once the war between Yangzhou and Jingzhou begins, he, the envoy of Yangzhou, will be ready to serve as a livestock for the Jingzhou flag sacrifice.

"Then you don't shut up!" Liu Mang said angrily. He didn't take this old fox when he went out. Jia Xu didn't know who he saw.

"Yes, yes!" Jia Xu glanced at Liu Mang, saying that the state officials only needed to set fire and not allow the people to light the lamp. The old fox didn't dare to say that in front of Liu Mang, he could only mutter in a low voice.

"Did this girl say his name?" Liu Mang asked Guan Hai in confusion. If Liu Mang really wanted to have a woman he knew in Jingzhou, he would be the hungry Mrs. Cai in the Jingzhou courtyard. However, the relationship between the two was secret, and it was impossible on the surface. There was no such thing as going directly outside the mansion to report. After all, the identities of the two are here. What's the point of talking about a wife of the Lord of Jingzhou and the Lord of Yangzhou?

"No!" Guan Hai shook his head and said, "This girl just said that she had something to do to see her lord!"

Liu Mang was about to disappear because not everyone could see him. There were people who came to complain on Liu Mang's mansion, which made Liu Mang laugh and cry. Although he was His Highness, the King of Shu, he was unable to protect himself in Jingzhou. How could he participate in other people's internal affairs? However, Guan Hai added, "The lord looked at that girl and was so anxious that he almost cried. It should be that there was something important."

"Is that right?" Liu Mang asked in confusion.

"Master, just meet me. Maybe it's really your little one..." Jia Xu's lovers had not yet spoken.

Liu Mang kicked him directly. Of course he knew who Jia Xu was talking about, wasn't it the barbarian princess?

"Let him come in!" Liu Mang waved his hand and sat on the chair. Anyway, I'll meet you today. Even if the people of Jingzhou really came to call for justice, Liu Mang was going to help him. Even if he couldn't say he was wronged, the aristocrats in Jingzhou would be more accommodating for his sake.

"Yes!" Guan Hai nodded and went out. Soon a woman with a very anxious face and eyes were already flowing, and her makeup was all over her body.
