Chapter 65 Three years after the betrothal gift to Lu Bu, the trace of Wuzhui!

It turned out that Lu Lingqi had recognized Ji Hao a long time ago, because in terms of martial arts, she was not too far behind her father. Looking around the world, the only person who could defeat him with a wooden stick was Ji Hao.

Even Lu Bu couldn't do it.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm really here to rob. I really want to capture a concubine!" Ji Hao looked down at Lu Lingqi and said, "Anyway, your father's marriage to Yuan Shu is impossible."

As soon as these words were spoken, the extremely smart Lu Lingqi immediately understood the reason.

Ji Hao came here specifically to stop me in order to stop his father from marrying Yuan Shu.

As for the matter of marriage, if you can intercept it once, can you intercept it every time? The best way is to directly rob the bride, so that you don't have to worry about it once and for all.

This is a political necessity.

However, after taking a closer look at Ji Hao, who was handsome, tall and mighty, famous for his bravery, and a powerful lord who was feared by the world, Lu Lingqi could only say: Good job in stopping him!

Women always have to get married.

There is no free love in this era, only parents' orders and matchmaker's words.

So after thinking for a moment.

She stopped struggling.

She nestled in Ji Hao's arms and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz: "You have to give a gift!"

Ji Hao heard: "..."

At this moment, he really felt like he had returned to the modern era.

But I immediately realized that the ancient times were the era when "bride price" was most popular, also known as betrothal gift, which was also the reason why many old bachelors could not find wives.

However, the reason why it does not arouse disgust is that there was a custom of preparing "dowry" in ancient times.

The lower limit of dowry is higher than the bride price.

Individuals have to pay money, but the family does not lose anything but gains. Although the husband cannot touch the dowry, there was no concept of divorce in ancient times, so the dowry could not be taken away.

"But how do I give the betrothal gift?" Ji Hao pondered.

But the next moment, his eyes lit up.

"Have it!"

……

When Lu Bu rode at full speed to catch up with the marriage envoys, he found that all his men were there, but his daughter Lu Lingqi was missing along with the carriage.

Where the sedan chair had been originally placed, there now appeared a scarlet horse.

It made him look stunned.

"Red Rabbit?"

After some questioning, when he learned that his daughter had been abducted by "bandits", he not only did not show anger, but instead said: "Don't tell anyone!"

He would be angry if Ji Hao kidnapped his daughter and left anything else behind.

It is very likely that you will have to fight even if you cannot win.

But the one who was left behind was Red Hare, but Lu Bu would not do that, because in his opinion, this "bride price" was the greatest sincerity, and it was much more precious than the gold, silver, books, silk and other things given by Yuan Shu!

"It seems that Ji Hao is not much older than Lingqi, right?"

At the same time, on the other side, on the way back to Qingzhou, Lu Lingqi was secretly happy because Ji Hao left Red Hare behind, and felt that Ji Hao really valued her.

As she comes from a military family, she knows how important a war horse is to a general!

But soon, he put himself in Madam Ji Hao's position and said worriedly, "But, without the Red Hare, what will you ride into battle in the future?"

Hearing this, Ji Hao shook his head and said, "Even Red Hare can't carry me!" Lu Lingqi: "???"

Ji Hao added the weight of his weapons, the weight of his armor, his sword, and his bow and arrow, and calculated with Lu Lingqi. She was speechless.

"With all your strength, are you still a human being?"

……

In a blink of an eye, another three years had passed. After many battles, big and small, and two periods of recuperation, Ji Hao had been in this world for ten years. If he did not have a photographic memory, his experiences on Earth would have become vague.

Over the years, he had four wives: the Cai sisters, Diao Chan, and Lingqi.

Regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, all of them are princesses now.

She had more than a dozen children, including sons and daughters. The eldest one even started clamoring to go to the battlefield and was beaten by his mother every day. Ji Hao felt a special kind of pain watching that.

For the next three years, he basically stayed at home and did not go out again.

All his subordinates focused their energy on urban construction, mainly building the Xuzhou Great Wall and reclaiming wasteland.

Over the past three years, we have achieved remarkable results.

The most direct change is that Xuzhou's population has doubled, with newborns in the past three years outnumbering the original population. In Qingzhou, the number of children under eight has even reached six times the original population of Qingzhou.

This is a terrifying number.

Basically every family has four or five children. Some men who have three wives and four concubines even have more than ten children.

Because of this, Cao Cao often complained that Qingzhou was a "children's country".

But this complaint is also Versailles, because Qingzhou can afford to raise a large number of newborns without any burden, which will be the foundation for future stability in the world. Naturally, the more the better.

Anyway, after hybrid rice becomes popular, the output of grain is sufficient.

Especially after the advent of "compound fertilizer", the highest yield per mu can even reach 1,700 kilograms. Compared with millet, which used to be considered a small amount of more than 100 kilograms and a large amount of 200 kilograms, there is a world of difference.

We can afford to support ten times the population.

Of course, intelligence work was not neglected during the closed-door development process.

Ji Hao still has a clear grasp of the general situation in the world: due to his arrival, many things in this world have changed under the butterfly effect.

Sun Jian did not die early, and has now rebelled against Yuan Shu and established his own regime in Yangzhou.

He occupied the entire Jiangdong and was named "King of Wu" by Liu Bei. He was the third king in the world after King Liu Bei of Kaoshan and King Ji Hao of Cheng.

Yuan Shu was driven to Yuzhou.

Although he had occupied the entire Yuzhou, he did not become king and was still just a vassal.

Lu Bu managed Yanzhou well, and it is said that he created the "Eight Generals" and the "Two Generals Dragon and Tiger". Ji Hao did not pay much attention to the former, because he was not a powerful character and his status was lower than Gao Shun.

But the two generals, Long Wu, made him feel interesting.

They are "Evil Dragon" Dian Wei and "Tiger Madman" Xu Chu!
They were the two most capable generals under Cao Cao!
Including Lu Bu himself, Yanzhou can be said to be "full of martial virtues", second only to Ji Hao among the princes!
In addition to Liu Bei, Ji Hao and Sun Jian, two kings and princes also emerged in the southwest and northeast, namely "King of Shu" Liu Niu and "King of Yan" Yuan Shao.

Among them, Liu Yan was supported by Liu Bei and was a puppet in name only. The Shu land is now in Liu Bei's hands.

Yuan Shao has already defeated Gongsun Zan and controls Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou. He is still attacking Xiliang. The governor of Xiliang, Ma Teng, has been killed by him. His son Ma Chao has joined hands with Han Sui and managed to resist but was being eroded step by step.

Loud.

Yan, Cheng, Wu and Shu are the four largest forces today.

With the addition of Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, the original princes of the world have evolved into the "Seven Major Warlords", known as the "Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats" by the world, which is similar to the "Seven Major Families" of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"Your Majesty, good news!" Wang Er, who was in charge of underground intelligence, found Ji Hao and said with joy, "Finally, I found the clue to the 'Peerless Black Horse' you were looking for!"
