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

Chapter 216 Didn't You Ask Me Out Of The Mountain? !Why are you cruel to me? !
"Xu Zhen, you're poor and crazy, aren't you?"

"I fought with you!!"

Jushou looked left and right in the thatched hut, and raised his hand to find a sword. There was one hanging on the wall next to the desk. He pulled it out and held it tightly in his hand. It is the blue-faced masked general who kills Yan Liang and punishes Wen Chou.

So he swallowed his breath and said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do!"

Xu Zhen said helplessly outside with his hands behind his back: "You are all hermits, just read a book in this thatched hut, and put your love on the mountains and rivers."

"I demolished your Ju family's ancestral house, and got a large piece of land, almost half the size of the county, and no one lived in it anyway. The wood and stone obtained can be used to build at least [-] people's homes. This is the real benefit to the people. , your ancestors must thank me."

"Ancestor wished he could take you away!"

Jushou was so angry that he jumped up and down, didn't he send someone to persuade me to come out of the mountain a few days ago! !I don't want to treat me like this!

This is clearly revenge!Xu Bowen, you have a small belly!

I always thought you were self-disciplined and just, serving the public and the people!He is a stalwart man like a blue sky and a bright sun!A talent that is hard to find through the ages!
I wrote a letter home yesterday and still praised you! !I will kill you tonight!
Jushou was out of breath, his beard fluttered, and his chest heaved up and down.

"Demolished."

There was a shout from a distance, Xu Zhen turned his head to answer, and then Jushou twitched at the corner of his mouth, only to hear a deafening explosion, the earth wall collapsed, people's voices were full of people, and the dust flew up to this place, and the thatched huts were filled with fog. See.

He subconsciously ran forward a few steps, and all the letters in his hand fell to the ground. The calmness he had just now had long since disappeared, replaced by a feeling of disappointment that he could not have dreamed of in 1 years.

This kid... really made a move.

He's not threatening me.

"You really dare to do it!"

Jushou wants to cry but has no tears.

Although the ancestral house was indeed abandoned, it was useless to him. Yuan Shao died and Jushou lost any interest in the whole world. He only thought about porridge and side dishes to have three meals a day, read and write, and waited for the end to come.

Now that Xu Zhen has completely broken his defenses, it turns out that there are still many things that he cares about in his heart, such as the large house that has collapsed at home.

This kid is really ruthless, his mother, he used the armored cavalry with illustrious military exploits to pull the house, and he pulled it so fast, Zhang Liao, a famous general on the battlefield, is not inferior to commanding the demolition of the house at this moment. The first charge used the roped area to pull the house into ruins.

There are more than 70 courtyards in a mountain-like house, intersecting with four streets and alleys. After all of them are demolished, the vacant ground can even accommodate a lake.

Qinghe County itself is a city built on the lake. The waterway is very smooth. A big river runs through Hanoi and is connected by various bridges. All envious.

Although the population is sparsely populated now, sooner or later he will be able to regain his former vigor. Jushou has no intention of becoming an official, but he has the intention of enjoying the world.

"I did it all, and Dian Wei did it too. He is Jiwuhou, General Wei."

Xu Zhen pointed to Dian Wei next to him.

Jushouren was speechless, his hands were hanging down weakly, as if he had lost all his strength and leaned against the door, his lips twitched a little, you are noble, you are amazing.

"Your Majesty, my Majesty... I didn't intend to offend you, but I miss the old master. You don't have to risk the disapproval of the world, if you don't want to."

"I would like to come out to help..."

"Don't," Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand, "Ju Jun is worrying too much, this is not to force you to leave the mountain, you should go back to hermit, do you want this lake and thatched hut, don't I find you another one in Dunshan A land boundary, make it Julonggang, Qiulonggang or something, let you work hard outside."

Ju Shou was stunned immediately, and his face changed drastically. This means, don't invite me? !

Didn't you send someone to invite you a few days ago?Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang came here in turn, and then Yang Xiu, the youngest son of the Yang family, came to visit and gave many books and gifts, as well as gold, silver and silk cloth. They were very respectful, why didn't they invite them now?
Still ask me to go to the farm?
Forget it, man for the knife, I for the fish... I have to do whatever he asks me to do.

"Then why not, Junhou send me back to the command of Second Young Master Yuan Xi."

Looking at the ancestral house for the last time, it's all over. If I go to Youzhou, although I don't like those two young masters, I can still work for the Yuan family, even if it ends badly, it doesn't matter.

Xu Zhen nodded immediately, "Yes."

Turning to Dianwei, he pointed at Jushou: "Send the head to Youzhou."

"Eh."

Dian Wei drew his knife and stepped forward without any hesitation. Ju Shou in the room almost went limp when he heard this, and quickly reached out his hand at the door, "Wait a minute!"

"I mean, send me there."

"Have you eaten too much?" Xu Zhen leaned forward slightly, and asked with a puzzled face: "Do you think it's possible? Either you go into seclusion, or I send your head there. There is no third choice."

"I'm home."

Jushou's cheeks puffed up. At this time, he really wanted to commit suicide directly in resentment, or choose to die to protect his innocence. Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to see the end of the world.

Or, as the last son of the Ju clan, he didn't dare to die so easily. It was fine before, but now if he sees his ancestors asking about his ancestral house after death, it will be difficult for him to come back alive. .

So he glanced at Xu Zhen angrily, shrank his neck and closed the door.

Xu Zhen felt a little sorry outside the door, but it's a pity that the lake can't be sold, but the aquatic products in the lake can still be used to sell money or cook food by themselves, anyway, it's all mine.

Just give him a face by giving him a clean name.

Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at the door.

Of course Jushou inside didn't know, Jia Xu and the others came to persuade him, it was a contemporaneous celebrity, he regretted Jushou's talent and character, and spontaneously came to lobby for Xu Zhen, in fact Xu Zhen never gave an order.

Since ten days ago, I have been thinking about how much the family’s ancestral production can sell and how much it is worth, and sold it to nearby merchants. If they are coerced, they will definitely be able to exchange a lot of ordinary wood and stone, so that more people can be resettled. Construct the buildings and roads in the outer city and nearby villages in Qinghe County.

After the road is repaired, it will be more convenient to obtain materials in the future.

Because Jizhou is a prosperous state and county, the materials from the mountains and forests in various places should be saved, and not too much. Once they are cut down and not cultivated, they are likely to face many disasters after many years. Therefore, after many years of construction, they have to come again To build cities and roads, foreign materials must be used.

Or, take the existing buildings that have already been built, such as the ancestral houses of Jushou.

……

Xu Zhen arrived at Cui's ancestral home that day, and what he did to Jushou has been spread throughout Qinghe, but Cui's family lived in Qinghe as a branch of the pre-Qin period, and it has gradually developed to this day.

Their lineage has a hundred years of experience as officials, and they are deeply rooted and proud clans.

Cui Yan is one of those people who is proud of his integrity and would rather bend than bend. It's a pity that Cui Yan is in Yecheng.

In Cui's ancestral house is his younger brother, Cui Lin.

When Cui Lin was young, he was not well received by his clansmen. The elders in his family thought that he was dull and honest, learned and thought slowly, and when he realized something, it was always in the starry night. Although he was studious and down-to-earth, he was dull.

However, Cui Yan has always admired his younger brother's perseverance, thinking that others are complacent when they get something, but Cui Lin prefers to think more because of his late enlightenment, so every time he teaches, he will get more.

If things go on like this, over time, even though they are old, they will gain something in the future. Hou Fei may not be unable to achieve great things. Cui's ancestral house will also be demolished, because all their clansmen were taken away by Yuan Shao and lost on the way, leaving Cui Lin to guard the house. , an empty shell!
Except for the collection of books at home, it is useless and occupies the ground, wasting good timber resources in vain. It is better to move to Tobu City and find a new address.

Dian Wei gained face in front of that famous person Jushou today, so when he came to Cui's place, he directly volunteered to go in and talk, and he was determined to make Cui Lin bow his head and bow his head and bow his head.

Xu Zhen, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang looked at each other left and right, patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "Then you go, maybe I'll come again."

"There's nothing wrong with that, just do it straight away."

"Very good, but there is one thing, you can't hurt Cui Lin, this person is really talented, I want him to become an official."

Xu Zhen said seriously.

Dian Wei was stupefied at once, and asked subconsciously in a daze: "You, demolishing someone's ancestral house, are you willing to let someone become an official under your command?"

This request is too much, if you kill people directly, I will, and then tell the outside world that Cui Lin missed the former master Yuan Shaoju so much, and followed him to death.

Although Yuan Shao never conquered him.

But if you can't hurt him, then you can't threaten him too much. Isn't this being manipulated by him, so what should I do?
Xu Zhen was speechless: "You have killed more than [-] generals, how can you recruit other people's soldiers?"

"Hey, if you don't mention this, how can I persuade you?"

"Use money."

Xu Zhen asked someone to bring a box of gold bars, which were beaten exquisitely and neatly placed in a small box. There were fifty bars in total, and each bar weighed about twelve catties.

"He, is he short of money?!"

"Lack, you don't know. Cui Lin is really short of money. The family never gave him much money. Although he himself is a descendant of a famous family, he has been living in poverty." Xu Zhen nodded confidently. Jia Xu and Kong Ming had inquired about this information a long time ago. .

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly and said: "Although he is a poor man, if the situation is unstoppable, he will receive the money to keep it, so that he can support the clansmen in the future, and he will have comfort in his heart. Besides, the ancestors' spiritual incense sticks need a lot of money to worship."

"He won the gold, and he can still find another ancestral house. Now the most important thing is, how to move the boundaries in his heart is up to you, Uncle Dian."

In Liangzi's words, words of encouragement were hidden, which made Dianwei excited.

"Oh, oh, got it, haha!! Then I'll go!"

Dian Wei laughed, and asked someone to carry the box and go.

The rest of the people were waiting outside, but they didn't expect to hear him furiously swearing inside, and the sound of the desk being flipped.

Xu Zhen, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang smiled wryly.

"Let's go, I have to go," Xu Zhen shook his head, ready to go in.

Jia Xu was a bit pessimistic, and Nian Xu said sadly: "It is possible for the prince to go directly and talk about it. Now that he has been angered, I am afraid that the self-esteem of Confucian scholars will cause trouble. Cui Lin's bones are surprisingly hard."

Zhuge Liang also stared at Xu Zhen curiously: "Yes, Master, come back in a few days?"

"Let someone else try to persuade you."

Xu Zhen smiled confidently, and immediately opened the door and stepped into the inner hall. Sure enough, there was a table table in the hall that Dian Wei kicked over, and two of his subordinates directly pressed Cui Lin on a table table with a knife on the left and right.

Seeing Xu Zhen coming in, Cui Lin, who was in his early forties, did not behave like an elder, and directly scolded: "Xu Bowen, Cui Lin will never obey you with such threats and temptations!"

"Even if I live and die with the Cui family today, I will carry your butcher's knife!"

"Just kill me! Even if it's death, I won't!"

Xu Zhen glanced at it, and found that the table in front of him was full of gold bars, and Dian Wei took out all the fifty gold bars that were not bad. It seemed that the talk really fell apart.

He quickly walked over and said: "The ancestral house has been demolished. These houses are too expensive and unoccupied. I want to build a public office for the government office. I will sell the extra valuable materials to build houses for the people."

"Thousands, even tens of thousands, of people can be saved in this way."

"This is the profit from the war I led the soldiers. Yuan Shao hollowed out the people of the Cui family. He is responsible for the crime. It is the best of humanity for me to tell you. If you refuse, I will also tear it down. But if you Ken, I just want to have a better reputation and be justified, so that other families can follow suit."

"But it's okay, then I'm not polite."

"Let me ask you, are you willing?"

Cui Lin raised his head vigorously, looking at Xu Zhen as if looking at a fool, are you crazy? !
He Dianwei asked me how long he took a knife, and I, Cui Lin, didn't miss a word. Why do you have to agree when you ask? !You have a lot of face! ?
"No!"

Dang bang.

Xu Zhen took the ten gold bars back from the table and put them into the box.

This moment made Cui Lin's heart tighten.

"Ask you again, will you?"

Cui Lin looked at the remaining big goldfish on the table.

Then what Xu Zhen said came back to my mind, anyway, it will be demolished anyway, if you agree, you can still have gold bars to worship the ancestors, and now the clan is not there, only I, Cui Lin, are in the ancestral house, and my elder brother Cui Yan is in prison in Yecheng. If you have this money, maybe you can get through it, and ask about the arrangement in the future...

Perhaps in the dark, this ancestral house really cannot be kept. It is used to resettle the people, rebuild and destroy the city, but it can be used to its full potential...

If I don't agree, nothing will be left behind, even the big goldfish are gone, so there is no need to talk about resettlement, there are big goldfish...at least I can buy a small house in the future and move the ancestral house there.

Ken, or not!

this is a problem!
Should we silently endure the poisonous arrows of fate's tyranny, or violently——

When Cui Lin was thinking crazily, Xu Zhen was already impatient, so he raised his hand and swept out ten more gold bars, and put them into the box in front of Cui Lin.

"Eh!?"

Cui Lin was stunned, "I haven't said no yet!!"

"Third time, yes, or not?"

Xu Zhen stared at him, and said expressionlessly, his tone was extremely flat, as if he was chatting with him about something after dinner.

"me……"

Cui Lin was stunned, for the third time.

There are still thirty copies left on the copybook, if you don’t make a decision, it will be gone... If you don’t agree, you won’t have any money, Xu Zhen might even kill me if he demolishes the ancestral house.

If you agree, although the current house will be demolished, I still have gold to build another one to keep the mourning hall of my ancestors. If you refuse, I have no money to support it. The incense has been broken for half a month now, it is really unfilial .

Xu Zhen became impatient again, and stretched out her hand to collect the gold bars. This time, she actually wanted to collect [-] gold bars.

Cui Lin's eyes became hot when he saw it, he quickly broke free and rushed over to the desk, protecting the twenty big goldfish.

"Wait, wait... I promised, I promised..."
