Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 109 Would You Rather Look At Pigs Than Me! ?
The night passed.

On the second day, Xu Zhen didn't get up.

When Zhuge Liang came to open the door, he saw that the backyard was empty except for a few maidservants slowly sweeping the scattered leaves on the ground, so he quickly closed the door again.

To Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were behind him, he said, "Go back, the Lord may not be able to get up."

"I knew it a long time ago! Life is happy, how can it be possible to get up again!?" Dian Wei patted his chest immediately, and said with great certainty, "I saw early in the morning that you must enjoy it for a few days. Governance!"

Xu Chu turned his face away to look at him, and said, "What about the money?"

Dian Wei smacked his lips, looked around in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "I'll see you later, don't be like this, Zhongkang will save face."

The two made a bet last night, and Xu Chu said that although Jun Hou took a concubine, it was the first time that he had ever indulged in these years.

This guy is so simple.

If you have never tasted it, you will not know its goodness. Once you taste it, you will not be able to quit.

It must be in the gentle township.

Xu Chu grinned, "Take me a drink instead."

After finishing speaking, he patted Dian Wei on the shoulder.

"That's fine!" Dian Wei laughed immediately, nodded quickly and said yes, it would definitely cost more to switch to wine, but it doesn't matter.

"Go back to sleep!"

Dong Fang looked around at these high-status and high-ranking ministers from behind, and for a while he couldn't figure out who to ask first, anyway, his scalp was numb.

go back to sleep! ?
It made my blood boil, I woke up before dawn today!The nearby officials were summoned to go out together and follow the prefect to govern.

Officials, retainers, people with lofty ideals, and elders in villages all over the country almost all informed in advance and waited for the prince to come.

Now go back to sleep? !

I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep all night!I, Dong Fang...a villain who is greedy for money and power, has been inspired to rise up when he hears the cock crowing!

Full of ambition, just waiting for the leader of the king, to make a living for the common people, and to do my best for the great man!
The result is sleeping, right? ?

I also want to perform well in the future and follow the prefect to become a pillar of the great man, and my reputation surpasses that of my elder brother!
I even threw a big banquet to invite him to dinner!

"sleep."

Several people went back yawning, but Xia Houen didn't say a word.

Holding a sword at his waist, he has always stood at the gate of the backyard, and today he is the one who leads someone on duty.

Xu Zhen did live up to expectations, and didn't wake up until noon.

After waking up, the whole person is full of energy, but he has broken the self-discipline habit of getting up early in a row.

Next, I need to accumulate again. I also cut off once in the middle before, but it didn't hurt too much.

"Lack of extra rewards equals less fun."

"In other things, you have to make up for it twice."

Xu Zhen secretly checked his own characteristics.

【Shanwu】

【Xiong Feng】

【Ming officials】

Each of the three properties has a valid utility.

Coupled with the gradual fullness of the main attributes, it is time to return to the habit of improving one of them.

【Force: 96】

【Charm: 95】

Additional specialization attribute panel.

【Alcohol capacity: 39】

……

[Life span: 71 hours on January 9, 10 years]

[Self-discipline value: 4000]

After sweeping it down, Xu Zhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"From today until next year, before Yuan Shu usurps the Han dynasty and proclaims himself emperor, he must be self-disciplined and get more rewards."

"I have seen the Dragon Qi of the National Luck in the exchange before. I don't know what is the use of it, but each point requires 1 self-discipline points. According to previous experience, the more it is consumed, the more it will be consumed."

"As far as I'm concerned, the real ups and downs should be after Guandu, Chibi and other major battles that determine the situation in the world, and we should prepare early."

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen almost lost all thoughts of taking a vacation.

After last night, when I wake up at this moment, my thoughts are extremely smooth and calm, and my sacred heart is like a Buddha.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a pair of hands hooked Xu Zhen's neck, and he wrote a lot of poems last night.

A song about the goose lasted at least an hour, so it was quite happy, and then the love words and emotions also interacted quite a bit, and the two became extremely harmonious just overnight.

The relationship has become too close.

"Thinking about government affairs."

Xu Zhen smiled calmly, held his wife's arm around his neck with his backhand, and said softly: "After arriving in Chenliu, I found that although the people are rich, they don't have much edible meat, which shows that political affairs can't be slack."

"If farming can provide enough food to satisfy the food and clothing of the people in Chenliu, then the next step is to be rich and trade in exchange for money."

"No wonder……"

Gan Mei's hair was scattered in front of her body, she looked at Xu Zhen tenderly, and said, "I thought I was dissatisfied with the prince."

"How is that possible?" Xu Zhen approached slightly and nodded at the tip of his nose, "I'm just worried. Before that, I was in charge of Jinwu in the palace, but now I have left this important task and returned to Chenliu. I have to work harder to earn back my political achievements."

Otherwise, I always feel that I have lost too much.

"Since it's not, then the concubine can rest assured. Seeing that Junhou is unhappy, I thought it was because of poor service last night."

"That's not, that's not!"

Xu Zhen immediately shook her head, just right!

Everything is just right!It is simply that the zither and the sound complement each other, which can only be described as wonderful!
"I'll go first, I can't afford it!"

"Husband, go, my concubine is waiting at home."

"it is good."

Gan Mei served Xu Zhen to change into an official robe, put on a crown hat, and neatly coiled her hair on top of the crown. Her face was clean and meticulous, and she looked even more heroic.

The elegant official robe is dark in color and tied with cloth belts at the wrists, which also shows that Xu Zhen has a martial style and is easy to move.

After changing into his robe, Xu Zhen came out from the backyard. Gan Mei leaned against the door of the room, watching his leaving back with relief in her heart, and then slightly supported the door to return to the inner room.

He called the maid to clean the backyard of the house together, and ordered someone to ask the cook to buy ingredients, and ordered a meal to be prepared for Xu Zhen at night.

Because Xu Zhen's salary is already considered the highest, but he still has no other sources. He is one of the few honest officials. The income of the family, in addition to the annual salary of two thousand shi, is divided into food, gold, silver, and cloth. The value is equivalent to two thousand stones of grain.

The rest came from the [-] mu of land that Xu Zhen bought in Juancheng at a huge sum of money.

They cultivated grain and other grains separately, and then sent people to sell them. At that time, ordinary people were hired as farmers and looked after by Xu Zhen. They paid a lot of money for the harvest every year.

Many lives were saved, so those families have already gotten used to it, treating themselves as Xu Zhen's slaves and domestic servants.

However, Xu Zhen seldom went to look after her this year, and just asked the old guards in the army to help send the order letter.

Xu Zhen's land can still produce about seven hundred stones a year. When it is good, it is about a thousand stones. It mainly depends on the weather. These grains can be converted into money, which is income. Therefore, apart from the inevitable rewards, Xu Zhen has stored There is still a lot of money.

During the discussion last night, Xu Zhen also said that now that Ganmei has entered the door, she will take care of it first, and should not be greedy for the people's money and food, and should not be stored extravagantly.

In charge of the back of the house, if the money runs out, then find a solution to Dian Wei.

When Cao Jie enters the door in the future, these powers will be handed over to her.

In this way, you can be in an orderly manner and not panic.

Of course, Ganmei can't let the money be lost, so now she has to take the responsibility of the mistress of the family temporarily, and take care of many affairs in the backyard for the prince.

"First determine the monthly salaries of the servants and maidservants in the mansion. After the calculation is completed, the prince's salary will be divided into months, and then divided into days to see how much is left..."

Thinking of this, Gan Mei cheered up, and she was very happy in her heart. In her opinion, this is equivalent to being busy with official duties at the same time and in different places with her husband.

Is it not the same as consecration?

Only in this way can we get a sense of fulfillment, and in this way we can wait for the prince to return with joy.

"La la la..."

So she even hummed a ballad.

……

"Your Majesty?!"

Zhuge Liang was on the main hall, managing the government for Xu Zhen, and first read the situation sent by officials from various places.

And conducted a preliminary review one by one, most of them are to maintain the status quo, and pay attention to the winter disaster, there is not much change.

Among the various places in Chenliu, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry and Xu Zhen's Suwei camp were stationed.

Coupled with the large population and veterans who retired from the army from Chen Liubing, the public security is very good, the new force is also sufficient, and the land reclamation is more than other counties.

So there is not much to do.

But if Junhou insisted on finding something, then Zhuge Liang couldn't help it.

At this moment, when he saw Xu Zhen, it was like seeing a strange person.

It's already three poles in the sun, such a good time, just resting in the backyard, what are you doing out there?
Chenliu's office is naturally all owned by Xu Zhen, and several side courtyards in the middle courtyard were deliberately expanded by smashing the walls to accommodate their close ministers and followers.

In fact, the back yard and the front yard are the largest, and the back yard is like a mansion.

The front yard has a main hall and a side hall, two east and west wing rooms plus the reception hall and the kitchen where the chef is located, etc., and counting the yard dedicated to storing sundries, the entire government office is at least [-] square feet.

Although it's all his place, is there really nowhere to go?
Go to the Intermediate Court to find Dian Wei to practice martial arts.

Anyway, Xu Chu went to practice in the army today, and Uncle Dian was still sound asleep.

"Your Majesty, are you not resting?"

"No, the political affairs are normal, right?"

"No, everything is as usual!" Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed.

Xu Zhen nodded immediately: "Let's go, follow me to find Dong Fang, where is Awei?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and said falteringly: "Go to sleep."

"Oh, how did Awei become like this, how could he be so lazy in Chenliu!"

Xu Zhen was greatly disappointed and shook his head.

"Forget it, let Xiahouen and I go."

Just went out.

At the gate of the mansion compound, there happened to be a carriage arriving here, and a guard immediately came to prepare to report, and halfway saw Xu Zhen's guard preparing to sit down.

Now he walked quickly, his face was very pleased, he was really able to see the prefect after so long, it seems that today the Cai family in the carriage and horses will definitely be able to see the prince.

After traveling all night, I heard her guard talking, and it is said that she refused to meet more than a dozen times, which is too cruel.

"Your Majesty!"

Su Wei shouted immediately, and Xia Houen also recognized the Qingzhou soldiers who were among the tiger and leopard riders before, but they were not the one directly commanded by Cao Chun, and should belong to the eldest son.

"You are the soldiers and horses under the eldest son's command?"

"Villain Xu Ning! The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Guard is supposed to protect the eldest son, but the female military adviser wants to come to see the prefect, so he ordered me to drive around and escort him."

"Oh, oh..." Xia Houen nodded, understood the reason, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'll report to the Lord."

Xu Zhen had already arrived in the carriage at this moment, and he and Zhuge Liang were discussing certain theories. He had just laid the groundwork and was about to speak when Xia Houen lifted the curtain of the carriage door and said, "Your Majesty, that Miss Cai has come to see you specially."

"what?"

Zhuge Liang was leaning forward to listen, but now he was gradually leaning back, with a very serious expression, and looked at Xu Zhen with reverence.

As expected of you, Master.

Presumably, in the future, I can also marry a beautiful wife like a flower. I like southern women, who are said to be more feminine and elegant.

"Envy," Zhuge Liang said weakly, "I hope that in the future, I can also marry Jingdong beauty."

Xu Zhen blinked, and quickly asked, "What?"

"Jingzhou, Jiangdong."

"Oh, if you are in Jingzhou, maybe you will get your wish."

Xu Zhen turned around and got off the carriage, but she was actually a little anxious, after all, it was time to take office.

And after sunset, I have to go home and sing geese with my wife.

It is impossible to be with Miss Cai all the time.

So he trotted all the way over, seeing that the maid in the door curtain was very excited and blushed.

She quickly put down the curtain, turned her head and couldn't hold back her eagerness to whisper: "Here he is! Miss, the lord is here! He is here!"

"Ah Qing, don't get excited."

Cai Wenji straightened her body slightly, and listened carefully to the sound of footsteps. Soon, Xu Zhen arrived in front of the carriage, and she could faintly see his shadow blocking some of the light through the door curtain.

Then came Xu Zhen's voice.

"Girl, I'm going to the countryside now, don't wait."

"It's so unfortunate this time. It's really such a schedule. I can only say... regrettable."

Sorry about your sister!

It's like this every time, why is it always a pity, and this so-called misfortune, every time is a misfortune.

Cai Wenji was stunned for a moment, her face darkened, she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to the village to discuss important matters with officials?"

"That's right! It's a matter of life and death for the common people!"

nonsense!

You are obviously avoiding me!
Could it be that I, Cai Yan, are really a disaster!
"Now that it's the end of the new year, it is estimated that there has been heavy snow in the village and the mountains have been closed. The road is difficult to travel. I am afraid that you will not be able to come back tonight!"

"No!" Xu Zhen said: "I actually told the girl that this trip is outside the outskirts of the city, not far from Chenliu City, mainly to slaughter pigs."

Cai Yan took a deep breath.

In that sense, I am worse than a pig.

You don't even look at me when you look at pigs? !

"Junhou, I have come to visit you twenty times, twenty times!! Would you rather look at a pig than me!"

Cai Yan's voice was a little broken.

Xu Zhen fell silent outside.

I'm afraid it's not good.

Girl, you're a little...perverted.

"Hmm... I'm not talking about the naughty, this matter really can't be naughty girl!"

Cai Yan directly opened the door curtain and got off the carriage, wearing a snowmelt shawl and an elegant monochrome thick long skirt, standing in front of Xu Zhen slimly.

He frowned slightly, and bit his thin lips slightly.

Staring at him all the time, "Can't you look at me? I'm not as good as a pig?"

Xu Zhen looked at it for a long time, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "It's hard to say, I can only feel it, or the girl will go with me."

"Okay, I'll go with you!"
