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

After Chen Deng left.

Xu Zhen went home quickly.

I don't have time to feel about Chen Deng's matter. The land of Xuzhou is to give them a chance for the Chen family, and the able ones will be promoted.

However, Cao Ang would send Yang Xiu to his side, which made Xu Zhen a little surprised, and Yang Xiu's own temperament was quite different from what he thought in his heart.

However, there is no need to be entangled in this, since it has come, you can treat it as usual, and there is no need to be prepared.

Xu Zhen went to Fuyuan at home and practiced against Dianwei in the martial arts field of the middle courtyard. This time he got a brand new weapon in his hands.

Seedling knife.

Its blade is like a grass seedling, so it got its name. It is a two-handed sword, five feet long, made of iron, and consumes a lot of materials.

Pu Feng, Pu Yuan, father and son made 31 days of income. They are meticulously chiselled. The blade has reddish heavy grains and interlaced lines.

The knife grid has not been opened, so Xu Zhen can hold the knife on the knife grid and use the Miao knife as a spear.

This knife is named "Lieyu", named after the red pattern, it can only be drawn horizontally when it is out of the sheath, the left and right hands are lined up at the same time, and then both hands are held, but Xu Zhen has great strength.

He can hold it with one hand and feel as light as nothing.

Swinging is fast and effortless, so with this knife in hand, Xu Zhen can use ring-head knife skills, two-handed knife skills, long spear or long knife skills, and switch according to the fighting situation. After the real fusion of hearts, it will be dazzling .

"drink!"

The figures staggered, Xu Zhen stepped forward and then turned around, pressed his hands forward and slashed down, and the saber smashed extremely violently at Dian Wei's staggered raised halberds. The moment he cut it down, he was crushed like a mountain, and Dian Wei's legs were so weak that he almost couldn't hold on.

Seeing the momentum, the knife shadow did not stop for a moment and turned into a spear. Xu Zhen kicked the tip of the knife that hit the ground with his right foot, and rushed forward with the knife in his hand.

It seemed flexible, but in fact Xu Zhen had already pulled back slightly, otherwise this downward movement would have been even more rapid.

After jumping away, Dian Wei had already had lingering fears in his heart. He looked at the five-foot-six-inch long knife with apprehension, and it was only the blade, and the handle should be more than six feet, which was almost as tall as a person. There will be no difference in the length of the saber.

But this is just the style of an ordinary knife, so it looks very big!Especially when slashing down with both hands, it is more imposing and domineering than the Huan Shou Dao.

"Your Majesty, it's amazing."

Dian Wei sighed with emotion and gasped for breath.

In the blink of an eye, the two had fought for more than thirty rounds, but Dian Weido was in danger.

At this time Xu Zhen knew that Dian Wei was playing tricks again, so Yu Shi shook his head and went to the side to practice the most basic chopping movements.

Slashing downwards, cutting horizontally, slashing obliquely, and thrusting with a knife.

As well as retreating body skills and so on.

It was very boring to just repeat a coherent movement, from stance to stabbing, and then back to stance and defense, but Dian Wei could tell that Xu Zhen's extremely linear muscles were always showing when he went back and forth ten times. Shaking, his whole body was shining like oil, and he was already dripping with sweat.

These heavy objects can be swung at will, the moves are simple but each shot can reach the precise point, such a nimble figure that lifts the weight as if it is light, it shows that Xu Zhen's martial arts has reached a certain level.

Another half an hour later, Xu Zhen was slightly foggy and sweaty, but his face did not retreat from timidity at all, and he stood still and rested calmly.

Finally got the knife...

How many years, still so hard.

Dian Wei watched from the side and shook his head.

I really don't know why, I guess looking at the world, there are only two people who can beat the princes, one is my Dianwei, and the other is handed over to others.

[You train Miao Dao two hundred times, self-discipline value +200]

[You insist on practicing martial arts for 62 days, Miao Dao proficiency: mastery (1%), force value +[-]]

[Army value: 99]

"Huh, it's still a little bit close."

Xu Zhen looked down at her body, the lines were smooth, firm yet soft, the seemingly not too exaggerated muscles were full of explosive power.

Soon to be one hundred.

After [-] years, you will gain a special ability to climb to the top, such as the "remembering" of intelligence, the "accompanying you until death" of charm, etc., all of which have special effects.

And one mountain is higher than another. Climbing to the top is a watershed, and perhaps the beginning of another mountain.

Xu Zhen wiped off the sweat with a cloth towel, and then prepared to take a bath.

"Your Majesty, see you tomorrow."

Dian Wei smiled honestly, and almost had to go to rest.

"You are really a natural warrior, it's a pity that you don't work hard."

Xu Zhen shook his head.

Dian Wei curled his lips slightly and lowered his head, every time he had to say a few words, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

After all, it seems that Xu Zhen is getting easier to beat him now. Only by playing tricks quickly can he maintain his undefeated performance.

"Tsk."

Thinking of this, Dian Wei regretted a bit, he should practice hard and discipline himself with Junhou. He is indeed improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he knows more and more martial arts and weapons, which is inhuman.

Even if I don't have such a talent, I can still keep up.

"Innate is good, but hard work is more important!" Xu Zhenyu patted Dianwei on the shoulder earnestly.

This made him have to accept.

"So rest today and tomorrow first." Xu Zhen patted again heavily.

Dian Wei: "???"

……

Day two.

Sure enough, Yang Xiu was waiting at the gate of the government office early, and Chen Shi had already arrived to take office. At this time, Zhuge Liang just came to open the door, and the two met each other without saying anything.

Xu Zhen came at the right time, and smiled when he saw Yang Xiu, "Master Yang really keeps his word."

"I hope that with the lord's advice, I will be able to handle all matters big and small today, please give me your orders."

"Okay, take today's political report, let's start quickly, time is running out."

Xu Zhen tightened his robe, stepped directly into the main hall and sat down in the main seat. Yang Xiu followed Zhuge Liang to the side room, and was dumbfounded when he first entered. Like a mountain.

Because when it was delivered, in order to save it from being damaged, all the notes were carved with bamboo slices. After burning, they were written with ink again to prevent them from being damaged halfway and not reaching Tianting.

"Master Yang, this is the memorial letter selected yesterday, and it is sent to the lord."

"Elected yesterday? What do you mean?"

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "In the past few days, I have received a total of 210 letters and memorials, among which there are many people's sentiments from various places. The submissions included important lawsuits from local government offices, the humanities and features they observed, as well as the local sages recommended by the officials and the policies and theories they wrote, so they were prioritized and distributed in the files after receiving them."

"This is the government affairs to be dealt with today, and this side will be dealt with within seven days, and those are the letters of recommendation." Following Zhuge Liang's fingers, Yang Xiu saw more mountain-shaped letters , piled higher than him, it would take a day just to look at these things, why do you have to look at them yourself?

Those recommendations were basically thrown away if they were sent in the past. No official would read these boring letters of recommendation in person. If you really want to employ people, don’t you always use people you trust, or you have someone in your heart.

Zhuge Liang immediately continued with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty once said that the practices of the gentry in the past were quite immoral and detrimental to human morality... The letters of recommendation sent by others, asking for an official position, are basically taken and thrown into the waste pile Meng Chen, but at this time, the people who are asking for recommendations are still waiting eagerly. Maybe the way out of the family's livelihood lies in this, maybe it is the ambition of the poor family all day long, or there are talented and refined scholars among them, if you don't even look at it To see everything thrown away is to damage one's own virtue, and one will suffer retribution in the future."

After Yang Xiu heard this, he immediately reacted in his heart. This guy can't guess what I'm thinking, can he?

And in the words, it seems to be cursing.

Although he didn't say a word about me, but I felt extremely stinging in my heart.

"After seven days, it's still okay, at least there is still time to take a rest."

Yang Xiu finally sighed, he was resigned to his fate, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't resign himself to his fate. Who told him to ask Ying to follow Xu Zhen to manage politics specifically for the purpose of learning something?

"No way!" Zhuge Liang laughed lightly after hearing this, his eyes seemed to be ridiculing Yang Xiu's ignorance and youth, not understanding that a gentleman is a real animal of government, and said: "With my master's character He must finish this pile of seven-day memorials by tomorrow, and the fuller the better."

"Master Yang, just think about it, after the princes and marquises have finished reviewing the memorials and sent them to the palace to His Majesty, and after finishing the political affairs in various places and replying to their orders, after reading the letters of recommendation requested by these scholars, reply to them or encourage them. , or recommended, or appointed... a new batch of memorials is estimated to be sent from all over the place."

"what?"

Yang Xiu made a short questioning sound.

why is this...

"Besides, my master enjoys governing politics. When we have nothing to do, we will be comfortable and relaxed, while the princes will be restless and find ways to find political affairs to do. If not, they will directly ask whether the political affairs in various places are well done. .The master should be prepared and seize the opportunity."

Yang Xiu: "This..."

Who is this?What opportunity to seize?
Caring for the people of the world?The emperor is still thinking about how to break free from the cage all day long. How can you care so much about the people of the world?Is he sincere?

"Also, my master used to ask me... as a school test, and his thinking has always been too clear. Master Yang is now an assistant minister, so he probably wants to ask you."

Yang Xiu was in a daze, carrying dozens of volumes of slips to the main hall in a daze, and walked back and forth three times just for the pile to be dealt with today.

Xu Zhen immediately picked up a volume, read it carefully, stared at it, and laughed after reading it, "The Xuzhou canal will go to Runan, and it will cost a lot of money to use Daze to open the canal."

"Master Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Xiu's heart tightened, and he looked back at Xu Zhen suddenly, then pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said: "The strategy of connecting the river is set for several years, it can't be done overnight, so it can benefit the farmland year by year, and it can be divided into years. solve."

"Well, okay, you write."

Xu Zhen nodded approvingly, with appreciative eyes.

It's smart, I can think of it on second thought, it seems that I am not really a second generation ancestor at home, I should have been reading and studying, or constantly discussing with people with lofty ideals, in order to get something.

"I wrote?"

Yang Xiu now understands why Zhuge Liang is so happy, but he is tired of writing.

It must not be tiring to watch!

Junhou is such a political law, he is good everywhere, but he is a bit of a vassal.

In desperation, Yang Xiu sat down to write. Of course, he found that Xu Zhen didn't completely let him write. The two of them worked together.

As long as Xu Zhen sees that Yang Xiu has finished writing, he will immediately ask about a strategy, obviously he is studying for the school exam, and Yang Xiu almost always answers fluently.

As long as the answer is answered, I have to write it. The more complicated the answer is, the more I write, but I gradually feel a sense of accomplishment.

Because of these policies, a small part will be implemented immediately, and the rest will be sent to the Shang Shuling for viewing with the emperor, and then His Majesty will decide whether to implement it.

An hour passed quickly.

Xu Zhen wrote the last volume of letters, and the calligraphy was completed overnight. He wrote a passage, "Disregarding life and death, controlling the tides on both sides of the bank, dredging the three canals to Yanghe, Guandu, and Dongjun, the small canals were excavated and blocked in the mountains and forests. context."

This is the Yellow River swell and the disasters in various places. Xu Zhen sighed deeply when he wrote this, his face was full of sadness, "I can only think of this method, Dezu, see if there is another way .”

Xu Zhen handed the letter to Yang Xiu.

At this time, Yang Xiu was still pleasantly surprised by the phrase "dezu", and finally he was no longer called Master Yang by outsiders. Sure enough, the relationship can be shortened a lot after one day of administration.

After seeing the disaster situation in the Yellow River, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, "This year's tide is huge, because of the continuous heavy rain."

"If you want the Yellow River not to be angry, the Lord of Heaven should stop it from raining, and guide many places to divert it. That's the only way... If it can't be blocked, 10,000+ soldiers and horses have died in the land of Hebei this year, making the river stop flowing and the grass withered. It can be corrupted, and the earth is full of cracks, and the gods are angry because of this."

"That's not it, it's the flood season. It has nothing to do with what you said. Now it's mainly about making money... There is no way to prepare for the current national conditions. We can only appease and relieve disasters."

"Okay, it's almost done. You can think of a way about the money. I'm stepping down."

Xu Zhen glanced at it, it was just noon.

Immediately got up and left, the footsteps seemed to be in a hurry, Yang Xiu was stunned behind, "Your Majesty, how can I think of a way?"

"You are so smart, just write something about Cheng Xun Lingjun under me!"

Xu Zhen waved his hand, then stopped, turned around and added, "The comments I wrote are under, not me."

Yang Xiu stared blankly at the letter in his hand for a while, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

If it is sad... Xu Junhou trusts so much, it is a rare good thing, if it is happy, I will write a fart, no matter how smart I am, I can't make money and food to relieve the disaster, Jizhou is still fighting!

"Junhou, Junhou wait for me!"

Yang Xiu's heart turned, he followed up first, and then he went after Xu Zhen with a letter and brush. He had to think about it at noon and write something before he could leave his name.

If you really write a sentence casually, you won't be able to keep it.

But if you can write a sentence that is not too much in the limelight, but not too much from the heart, doesn't it mean that all the dignitaries know me, Yang Xiu?

Isn't this the opportunity given by Junhou?
……

noon.

Yang Xiu really followed Xu Zhen all the way to the barracks. Of course, he didn't know that Xu Zhen was coming to the barracks, and he ran almost halfway.

Fortunately, Xu Zhen's barracks is not far away, just beside Xu Du.

When he arrived, Yang Xiu was panting heavily, out of breath in front of Xu Zhen, sweating profusely, and had long lost his Confucian demeanor.

"My servant, I am not good at running, my lord, etc..."
