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

Chapter 16 I now understand what kind of person he is

Juancheng.

Dian Wei came back first without stopping.

As soon as he entered the camp, he saw Xu Zhen squatting behind the desk in the room and crouching on the futon.

He glanced angrily, and found that Xu Zhen didn't pay attention to him, and said in shock, "My lord, what's your posture?"

"Sitting is numb, squat down and watch, you will also be numb when you sit."

Xu Zhen said angrily.

"Successful?"

Putting down the letter, Xu Zhen said strangely.

[You have finished reading for an hour, self-discipline value +10]

Eh, it's broken.

Sure enough, thoughts cannot be disturbed.

Hearing the system's prompt, Xu Zhen felt a little regretful.

If you insist on self-discipline, it will increase, and if you are interrupted, it will decrease.

This is the law that Xu Zhen discovered recently, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Now it is obvious that Dian Wei's mood is more important.

"No way!" Dian Wei shook his head and lowered his head, sighed heavily, "I've been scolded! The old man wants to punish me."

"Fortunately, I didn't go..." Xu Zhen muttered suddenly.

"What did you say?" Dian Wei's eyes widened, but the muttering was too low, and he suspected that he didn't hear clearly.

"I said it's okay, I'm all for the lord, he will definitely understand our intentions."

Xu Zhen stretched out his hand and patted Dian Wei on the shoulder, "Although there is no credit this time, it is also due to hard work. Tao Qian's soldiers and horses did not come. It may be on the way. You saved the old man to avoid this matter."

"No one knows, but I know."

Dian Wei: "..."

I thank you.

"Hey, next time I don't dare to sacrifice my life to save others like this, and I can't leave a word."

Xu Zhen waved his hand, "Don't plant the flag."

"Get ready now," Xu Zhen's mood was still quite stable. He now needed merit to improve his status, but he could not lead the army.

Otherwise, you can't sit still.

That being the case, offering advice is the best way. There is no need to accumulate too much achievements in internal affairs. A county near Juancheng has the highest popularity.

If you do more meritorious service, you can be the captain of Tuntian, or the general of Tuntian Zhonglang, which is equivalent to the prefect of Erqianshi who has no military power.

"Okay, the armaments you asked for last time are all ready."

"And double stirrups and a big lance."

"But these things cost a lot of money to build, and the war horses are also in accordance with your instructions, so that the soldiers will raise their own and be responsible for the horse armament."

"Are we preparing these, are we going to fight Xuzhou?"

"Of course not, Xuzhou is too dangerous, let's do meritorious service at home."

Xu Zhen smiled meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

Dian Wei was at a loss and didn't quite understand Xu Zhen's words.

The words of guarding the house mean that the soldiers and horses do not go to Xuzhou with the lord, but stay in Yanzhou.

In Yanzhou, there is only hard work, and it is definitely not as good as those generals who attacked Xu. If they can take Xuzhou, when the time comes to reward their merits, then these soldiers and horses defending the city can only be ranked last.

"Defend the city. We can stabilize the hearts of the people in the rear and let the lord take Xuzhou. Isn't it a merit? And it doesn't take too much time."

Xu Zhen didn't want to go on a march. The self-discipline value of marching was too low and unstable, which was not conducive to farming.

His current strength has just reached【77】.

And [intelligence] is only 60.

It's only improved a little for so long.

There is still a long way to go, and I can't bear the loneliness so I can make meritorious deeds, and finally fall into the trap of Gongdou.

It may not be so easy to be with the gentry in the future.

……

On the second day, Cao Cao escorted Cao Song back to Juancheng. As soon as he came back, he came to the Diannong Institute in the south of Juancheng.

In this county, the farmland is scattered, the water quality is good, and there are still many farmers digging the soil.

Many soldiers are burning weeds into ashes and throwing them into the soil to nourish the soil. At the same time, many people are opening up new wasteland farther away.

Because materials were collected from the nearby mountains and forests to build houses for the people and build new settlements, there was a lot of bare land.

It takes a lot of energy to open up wasteland and reclaim land.

At this moment, a figure came into view.

Cao Chun stopped and looked into the distance, and saw Xu Zhen, with his trousers rolled up to his calves, digging ditches with the soldiers in the soil near the river.

"Hey, big brother, old man, take a look, you don't need to go to the Diannong Institute, Bowen is right there."

This year's soil has not been harvested much, and the canals have not been dug, so manpower is needed to carry water, and it is necessary to travel a long way.

Now digging canals to divert water, although it is slow, will definitely have results in more than ten days.

Even if it doesn't work, if you spend more time repairing the ditches, drainage is reasonable, and re-planning, it will probably work.

The main reason is that Xu Zhen is willing to do this, and he should take the soldiers and the people to do it together.

When the public sentiment is high, it will soon be effective.

"Well, it is indeed him."

Cao Cao nodded, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Father," Cao Cao pointed triumphantly, "that is Xu Bowen."

"It can be said that it was his advice that made me go to meet him. I didn't expect him to be so bold and careful, and sent Dian Wei to meet him first."

"If it wasn't for Bo Wen and Dian Wei, I'm afraid that my father would be murdered by Tao Qian's bandit army right now."

Cao Song squinted his eyes and looked up, and saw a lean figure with a straight back, and every move was serious in doing things, without any sense of falsehood.

For a moment, the guilt in my heart was even deeper.

what a boy.

Starting from a young age, he never forgets the instinct of an official even after becoming an official. This simplicity and innocence are commendable.

Especially in this chaotic world, it is even rarer.

"Ah Man, you said earlier that you thought he would not be affected by letting him lead the army, so you have some blame?"

Cao Cao suddenly smiled wryly, "That's right, this Xu Bowen is very rigid."

"But I don't know what I'm stubborn about. If I let him lead the army, how can I not believe him?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help looking at Xu Zhen's figure in the distance, and couldn't help shaking his head.

What are the benefits of being stubborn and sticking to the so-called original heart?Strict self-discipline all day long is nothing more than winning fame after death, and it has no other purpose!
"Let's go, follow Weifu to thank him and Dianwei for saving their lives."

Cao Song suddenly cleared up his emotions and walked forward.

……

"What? No see?"

Cao Song and Cao Cao entered the ditch, but they definitely couldn't go further ahead. The soldiers didn't stop at this time, but continued to rush to work.

"why?"

The father and son looked at each other, wide-eyed and small-eyed.

There is such a thing! ?

He, is he missing?
"My lord, I'm really sorry. Your lord has issued an order for this ditch today, and it must be completed. I will go to open up other fields tomorrow."

"Afterwards, we will divert water from Daze to the fields near Juancheng. If we succeed, there will be a large amount of fresh fish and shrimps from the river to feed on."

It is also for the people.

"Well, not bad!" Cao Cao glanced at the faces of these guards, they were all working hard, and no one was lazy.

This appearance is not ordinary.

"Okay." Cao Song's eyes were shaking because of this, "I now understand what kind of person Xu Bowen is."

"This is a truly respectable man of lofty ideals, not for fame, but for peace and prosperity."

"Ah, this trend should be extended."

Cao Song stroked his beard lightly, glanced at Dian Wei's sturdy body in the distance, and finally understood.

Only by leading by example and doing everything personally can he gain such prestige. No wonder such a brave warrior who sacrificed his life obeys his advice.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, quack.
