"Mingwen, have you finally finished talking to the adults?"

When Feng Yong was sighing at Liu Manzi's bravery, someone behind him suddenly asked.

Feng Yong quickly turned around and saw a long-faced man standing behind him with a look of joy on his face.

Who is it if it’s not Zhuge Qiao?

Zhuge Qiao's right hand was holding a child, and he was looking at Feng Yong with wide eyes.

It was Huang Yueying's biological son Zhuge Zhan, whose nickname was Achi, which means late arrival.

"Brother?! Why are you here?"

Feng Yong was very surprised and pleasantly surprised when he saw Zhuge Qiao.

There are many people in the world who are willing to get close to him, but without too many purposes, Zhuge Qiao is one of the few.

However, after Feng Yong returned to Hanzhong, he had no chance to meet Zhuge Qiao.

Because he didn't have Hanzhong at all in the past two years.

"It's only been a few years since we last met, and Mingwen you are already famous all over the world!"

Looking at the tall Feng Junhou in front of him, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but say with emotion.

Feng Yong laughed and waved his hands repeatedly: "No matter how famous you are throughout the world, I still can't call you brother?"

"But as an elder brother, I am still doing nothing. I am really ashamed in front of you."

Zhuge Qiao said half seriously and half jokingly:

"I shouldn't have trusted you back then. If I had followed Li Wenxuan's example and shamelessly called you brother, I wouldn't be so embarrassed today."

Feng Yong recalled that when he met Zhuge Qiao for the first time, he really regarded him as his brother, and his heart was filled with confusion: "Even if you wanted to pretend to be a kid at that time, I didn't dare to respond!"

After the two of them finished talking and joking, Zhuge Qiao lowered his head and introduced Feng Yong to Zhuge Zhan:

"Come on, Ah Chi, this is Feng Junhou. You can also call him Brother Feng from now on."

"I've met Feng Junhou, and I've met Brother Feng."

Young Master Zhuge Zhan bowed to Feng Yong and then asked Zhuge Qiao with some confusion:

"A few days ago, my mother said that Feng Junhou was the brother-in-law of the Feng family. Why is he now the brother-in-law of the Feng family?"

Tong Yan Wuji made Feng Yong burst into laughter.

"So Mingwen has already met Adi?"

"When I first arrived in Hanzhong, I naturally had to come over to see my wife." Feng Yong nodded and said, "I even told Ah Chi a story."

"There are also songs. The songs sung by the Feng family's brother-in-law and the Feng family's brother are better than my mother's."

Zhuge Zhan quickly added, while looking at Feng Yong with hope.

This brother-in-law of the Feng family told nice stories and sang nice songs. Ah Chi really liked being with him.

"I see."

Zhuge Qiao nodded, and then said to Zhuge Zhan, "Ah Chi, I want to talk to Brother Feng about something. Can you go find Grandma alone first?"

Although Zhuge Zhan was a little reluctant to give up, he still nodded.

Zhuge Qiao then called his servants over and led him away.

"She's quite smart and cute."

Feng Yong said something.

"My lord, that's what you said. Achi is much more talented than me, and my mother dotes on him."

"My lord, I often say that Ah Chi has been smart since he was young, so he should not be pampered too much. Otherwise, he will be suspected of being a premature adult, and he may not be valued."

Zhuge Qiao explained.

Feng Yong was not surprised that Zhuge Yao would say these words: "The Prime Minister has always been like this."

After all, there is Zhuge Qiao's own example before him.

In the past few years, Hanzhong was both a front line and a desolate place. Especially when the late emperor passed away and the Shu region was in turmoil, Zhuge Qiao was sent to Hanzhong.

Before the Battle of Longyou, if Feng Yong hadn't used the medical resources he had on hand, Zhuge Qiao would have been like Zhang Yi and died of illness due to overwork.

After the Battle of Longyou, Ma Su was exiled, Li Hui prepared to retire from illness, and Zhuge Laoyao began to integrate Shu into a complete entity.

It was against this background that Zhuge Qiao left Hanzhong, which had begun to become the second center of the Han Dynasty, and was sent to Nanzhong.

Anyway, it’s not easy to be the son of Old Demon Zhuge.

Whether you can enjoy happiness or not is not certain, but you must endure hardship.

"Why did brother suddenly return to Hanzhong? Could it be that the Prime Minister figured it out and couldn't bear to let you go to Nanzhong to feed mosquitoes again?"

Feng Yong asked.

When Zhuge Qiao heard what he said, he couldn't laugh or cry:

"Mingwen, you'd better say less of these words. If adults hear you, I'm afraid you'll make them unhappy again."

Just now he wanted to give me a blessing.

Feng Yongyong didn't take it seriously and said secretly in his heart, he can't run as fast as me anyway.

"Brother, you haven't said why you came back suddenly?"

Mentioning this, Zhuge Qiao's face was both happy and worried:

"When I left Nanzhong, there was all the news that you were killed in Xiaoguan. You know, your name, ahem..."

When it comes to the name of the Ghost King, some people may not care.

But Zhuge Qiao is an honest man. How could he have the nerve to tell the legend about the Ghost King who ate human flesh, drank human blood, and controlled three thousand women at night in front of Ghost King Feng?

"But the barbarians in Nanzhong are unstable?"

When Feng Yong heard him mention Nanzhong and saw his expression, he knew what he meant and took the initiative to mention it for him.

"So you already know the clear text?"

Zhuge Qiao was slightly surprised.

"Brother, the Xinghan Society has opened so many sugar cane plantations in Nanzhong, how can I not pay attention to what is going on in Nanzhong?"

Feng Yong shook his head and smiled.

This brother has nothing to say in terms of character, he even deserves to be called a gentleman, but in terms of intelligence, he is lacking.

Just like what the world said: his talent is not as good as his brother (Zhuge Ke), but his nature and karma are beyond him.

There is nothing to say about being appointed as a county official, but if he wants to take another step forward, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for him.

This is probably why the Prime Minister wants to train him.

If you don’t polish it, you won’t make it!

Now that the big man is still the prime minister, if you work hard for a few more years, you may be able to make some progress.

But the talent is there, and greater achievements are impossible to achieve.

"It's my ignorance!"

Zhuge Qiao finally came to his senses.

"Although I know that some barbarians in Nanzhong want to cause trouble, the information is not as comprehensive as the Dudu Mansion in Nijiang. My brother is the chief historian of the Dudu Mansion, can you tell me about it?"

Although at first Feng Yong used the name of sugar cane to lure people in the Xinghan Association to develop Nanzhong.

But in fact, in recent years, compared with Yuexun County, the development progress of other counties in Nanzhong has been somewhat slower.

After all, it is much easier to develop the Sunshui River Valley in Yuexun than to develop other counties in Nanzhong.

As long as the Yi people at the junction of Yuexun County and Hanjia County are dealt with, Yuexun County will have a flat road leading directly to Jincheng.

Coupled with the Battle of Longyou, the Xinghan Hui made another great effort.

After these two big projects, Xinghan Hui has spent most of the money and food that can be mobilized, so it is a bit hard to use Nanzhong.

Although there is a five-foot road in Nanzhong, after all, the ancient road hundreds of years ago cannot keep up with the growing transportation demand.

This is also the reason why the development of Yuexi should be done first, first come first.

Because there are not enough Yunnan horses, how much can be transported by manpower on the road conditions of the five-foot road?

Only when Yuexun's ranch and horse farm reaches a large scale can it provide enough animal power for transportation. At the same time, before that, the five-foot road can be repaired first.

For all of the above reasons, Xinghanhui's Nanzhong sugarcane plantations are basically distributed in the three counties of Zhuti, Zangke, and Jianning.

They are all places that can be reached directly by the Five Feet Road, and they are also relatively north.

It can be said that these counties are now firmly in the hands of the Han Dynasty, and government orders can be issued to the local areas without any obstacles.

Not to mention Yuexun County, which has long become one of the basic bases of the Xinghan Hui.

As for the Xinggu County that left the southern part of the original Zangke County, the Yunnan County south of Yuexi, and the southernmost Yongchang County, most of the time they still follow the old rules of the original history.
