Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. I might have married a fake princess, but I didn't see any royal demeanor, but I could sing Hu songs.

"You can still sing Hu songs?"

Liu He stuck out his tongue, his expression a little awkward, and his speech was a little unclear. "I... the late emperor... the father..."

"Okay, don't worry, whether it's the late emperor or the last father." Sun Ce was very calm. "Tell me about your family, just say whatever you want, and say whatever you want."

Liu He relaxed a little, tilted his head, and thought for a while. "The palace... I have nothing to say at home. Before I was ten years old, I lived in a side palace most of the time, with only nannies and eunuchs around me. I had never seen my mother, and I rarely saw the late emperor. I usually can't see him. I can only see him for a few days a year, and I have nothing to say when I see him. The one who attracts me the most is the Hu girls who sing and dance. I think they are so beautiful and look different from us, especially the eyes are very beautiful, just like cats..."

As he was talking, Liu He suddenly shivered, closed his mouth, subconsciously licked his lips, and the little hand held in Sun Ce's palm was also a little cold. Sun Ce knew that it had evoked her painful memories again, and hurriedly said, "Then what kind of rude songs do you know? Sing it?"

"Okay, I'll sing a "Mahadolle Song" for you. I heard that it was sung by the Hu people when they were asking for rain. Unfortunately, there was no musician's accompaniment, otherwise it would be quite lively." Liu He let go of Sun Ce's hand and walked quickly to a slightly spacious place in front. He held the corner of his skirt in one hand, pinching his fingers like a phoenix head, smiled, and sang softly, singing and dancing. Although it was on the hillside and there was a valley on the other side, Sun Ce was very worried that she would fall down accidentally, but she danced very deeply, with a light body, with a straight eye, and could make some difficult movements. Her feet hooked back and easily kicked the back of her head, which surprised Sun Ce. He didn't expect that Liu He, who looked like a dull melon, would be so energetic when dancing.

Liu He sang probably Hu Yu. Anyway, Sun Ce couldn't understand a single sentence, but the Indian style could be vaguely seen in the dance posture, especially some of the movements of folding hands and twisting their waists and hips, which was quite a bit like Indian singing and dancing. Unfortunately, Liu He was wearing a Chinese-style spring shirt, not the kind of dance clothes that exposed his navel, otherwise he would have been very sexy. In addition, there was also some regret that Liu He was thin, had no curves, had enough youth and vitality, but had shortcomings, not as fleshy as the actresses in the third brother's singing and dancing films.

After Liu He danced, Sun Ce applauded.

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good, very beautiful." Sun Ce praised: "You dance like you have changed someone."

"The late emperor said the same thing." Liu He took out his hand towel, wiped the sweat on his forehead, his face flushed, and his eyes shining. "Once, he told me that his younger brother inherited his intelligence, and I inherited his spiritual energy. Unfortunately, he was too busy and had no time to teach me, so I could only hide in a place where no one was dancing alone. He jumped for half a day, and often forgot to eat, and was scolded by the nanny for this."

"The nanny dares to scold you?"

Liu He smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, Empress He is the leader in the harem, and the nanny in the palace is her. People in the palace say she is the disaster star of my great man, and they come to the great man for the great man. Several pregnant women died inexplicably. Even if they were born secretly, they would not be able to escape her eyes. Sooner or later, they would have to find a way to kill me. If I were not a woman, I might not be able to grow up."

Sun Ce knew that the palace was dangerous and that Empress He was not a kind person, but at this moment, he still felt a chill on his back. How cruel can a person become in front of interests? Will there be such a tragedy happen in the future with so many women around me?

The heir system must be formulated as soon as possible, and Yuan Heng must marry into the door as soon as possible. If that position is empty for too long, it is inevitable that someone will have a bad idea.

When Sun Ce thought of these things, his mood became heavier just now.

The Mi family is a big merchant in the East China Sea, and they are also on the sea route. Yushan Port has been operating for several generations, just like the Mi family’s private port, and its infrastructure has been relatively complete. Sun Ce decided to build a naval camp here. When the Mi family saw the opportunity, they spared no effort and helped. In a few years, they more than doubled the scale of Yushan Port. They also built a naval camp, military camp, wharf, and villas for generals. They were both convenient and quiet. When they went down the mountain, they were a dock with sails and shadows, and when they went up the mountain, they were a unique courtyard with birds singing and flowers.

Sun Ce stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the Navy Camp. The huge tower boats were quietly docked by the sea and ready to go. Crossing Yuntai Mountain on the east side, the boundless sea was right in front of him. Compared with the Navy's special pier, the civilian pier on the east side was more lively. From time to time, ships entered and left the port, including large sea boats and ordinary fishing boats.

“Are those fishermen locals?”

"Yes." Mi Zhu nodded. "Eat the mountains and eat the sea by the sea. Qu County is seriously infiltrated, and there is very little land that can be cultivated. Many people have to rely on going out to sea to make a living. However, their boats are not big and they dare not go too far, so they can only fish in the near sea."

"Did the navy also fish in the offshore?"

Mi Zhu looked at Gan Ning. Gan Ning said, "The navy has food and salary, so we don't need to compete with these miserable people for food. Unless there are pirates, we are usually far away from them." Seeing Sun Ce's suspicious eyes, he quickly patted his chest and said, "If the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask. I have never killed them." As he said that, he smiled and his eyes were cunning. "These people are not slaves of the Mi family, but also from the Mi family. I am a guest at Mi family, so I have to give some face."

Sun Ce was not surprised. The Mi family was a businessman, so how could he do business at a loss? Qu County is a remote place with high mountains and far away. The Mi family is the local emperor here. The family has a great family and a big business. I don’t know how many people have to live on his family. Even if they are not his slaves, they may be their employers. The navy is stationed here, and the Mi family benefits the most, at least the pirates dare not get close. What is the difference between the little pirates encountering Gan Ning, and seeking death? As for the expenses of bribing Gan Ning, the two ships of cargo were made back.

Mi Zhu smiled faintly on his face, but he didn't say anything. Sun Ce didn't say anything. Everything was going on and the Mi family spent a lot of money, so he naturally had to pay a lot of rewards. Now he is preparing to attack Youzhou, he still needs the support of the Mi brothers, so it is not advisable to calculate it too clearly with him. It will not be too late to tighten it slowly when Youzhou is pacified.

"There are some yards on the opposite mountain, which are also yours?"

"It was built by my family and it has been sold a lot now. Some wealthy merchants saw the beautiful scenery here and wanted to buy a property here so that they could live there for a while when they passed by and meet friends. For us, this is also a good opportunity to exchange information and collect information. Guo Jijiu, I have left a few yards there, so you can go and have a look if you have time."

"Okay." Guo Jia did not refuse and agreed immediately.

Sun Ce also nodded. Merchants traveled all over the world, but they were born intelligence personnel. If they were not well-informed, they would not make a fortune. Mi Zhu could become a big businessman and be good at dancing and make friends. Building an industry here can not only make a fortune, but also make friends with big businessmen from all over the country. It is indeed both public and private.

"Where are all businessmen?"

"There are many in all places, including Yanyu Qingxu, Jingjiaoyangyi, and Jizhou. After the process of the printing workshop was released, many people from Jizhou rushed to Jingzhou to buy paper. The local paper in Jizhou is of poor quality, either too thick or too hard, and the hard books feel bad and are not easy to sell. Someone came to talk about it a few days ago and wanted to make a specialty for Jingzhou paper. They originally planned to purchase from Donglai, and after trying Jingzhou paper, they found that it was better to Jingzhou paper."

Sun Ce smiled and was a little proud. Donglai's Zuobo Paper is a famous brand, but it has always been a private workshop. The motivation for improvement is not as powerful as Jingzhou Paper Floor, and its ability is not as good as Nanyang Wood School. It has retreated step by step under the attack of Jingzhou Paper. As for Jizhou Paper, it is even more vulnerable. It originally relied on Yuan Shao's forced orders to survive. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Yuan Tan does not have such strong control ability, the Jizhou family is unwilling to buy this expensive and difficult-to-use paper.

"Who wants to do a specialty?" Sun Ce walked down the hillside. He was about to take a boat to the civil dock to take a look. Mi Zhu followed. "The general may know the Geng family of Julu."

Sun Ce thought about it and had some impression that Yuan Tan was Geng Bao who came out to discuss rebellion and redemption. Geng Bao was Yuan Shao's chief clerk at the time and was also considered a confidant. Now he actually came to discuss business in private and wanted to sell his rights. It seemed that Yuan Tan's life was not easy and could not satisfy the appetite of the Jizhou family. This was a good opportunity to use it. If you could lay your eyes and ears around Yuan Tan, the news would be more timely.

"You can talk and see what Jizhou's family is. If possible, kill all the Jizhou paper workshops. Fengxiao, you can go and talk."

Guo Jia agreed readily. He is best at this kind of work and is also his job.

Sun Ce and others came to the dock, boarded the stairs, left the water camp, and came to the open sea. The wind increased, the waves suddenly became much bigger, and the swaying of the stairs became larger. It didn't matter to the navy soldiers. Liu He, who had no experience in going out to sea, was a little nervous. Ma Yunlu from Liangzhou was also a little uneasy. He grabbed the railing tightly and did not dare to let go. His legs were separated like riding a horse. Seeing this scene, Sun Ce thought of Ma Chao's seasickness at the time, and couldn't help laughing secretly. It seemed that this was hereditary, not Ma Chao was alone.

Bypassing Yuntai Mountain, the civilian wharf gradually appeared in front of him. This wharf is about the same size as the dock dedicated to the navy, but it is even more lively. Boats of all sizes are shuttled back and forth. There are many stalls on the wharf, and there are many ox carts parked in the distance. There are people talking about business in groups of three or five. Every time a big business is completed, someone announces loudly, which arouses a burst of cheers. The lively scene makes Liu He so excited that he forgets to be afraid and chatters with the maids.

"So this is the real market. Look, look, what kind of fish is that? It's so long, like a belt."

"That's called hairtail." Zhen Mi walked over and smiled, "Do you want to taste fresh seafood? The fish I just caught from the sea still has a fishy smell."
