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

Chapter 56
"Okay, if you've thought it through clearly, then uncle won't persuade you any more, bright talents will definitely have a place in the future."

Zhuge Xuan stroked his beard lightly, his eyes deep.

This child was a ghost since he was a child. When he was still studying, in order to listen to a few more classes, he brought rice from home and secretly fed the chickens. This made the chickens unable to crow, and he and his teacher would not wake up until sunset.

Zhuge Xuan sighed to himself that he was not as good as he had dabbled in so much.

At a young age, I have already looked at the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought. If I can accumulate it for a few more years and apply what I have learned, it will indeed shine.

It's just that, if you go to the Cao family now, can you still learn something?
"How does Liang'er plan to deal with herself? Although the family has ancestral property, they haven't been able to choose all the places where they can go to school. If they stay in Xuzhou, they may not be famous."

"Liang'er decided to go to Yanzhou for a study tour, with Xu Bowen as his teacher."

"Oh?" Zhuge Xuan frowned, it wasn't because he didn't like Xu Bowen, but because Xu Zhen was not from a noble family, and he wasn't a well-known scholar in the country. If he was his teacher in the future... he might not be well-known among the nobles.

To put it bluntly...Xu Zhen is the opposite of the gentry, he started from nothing, and he is not close to any gentry.

If you have to say it, it should only be from the Yingchuan lineage, such as Xun Yu and others.

Xu Zhen's status may not be very high in the eyes of the gentry.

But Zhuge Xuan knew in his heart that his nephew was by no means an ordinary young man, and he should understand such reasons. Since he made such a choice, he must have thought it through carefully.

"Liang'er, why did you make this decision?"

Zhuge Liang put away his smile, bowed and said: "Uncle should know that Taishou Xu has made great achievements. Even though he is white, he can still be worth two thousand stones. Duke Cao favors him."

"He doesn't need the support of the gentry for a long time. If he becomes a great cause in the future, the prefect will be the gentry."

"Furthermore, he is so talented, he should have something to learn from him. Uncle may have heard that the irrigation device that has been widely circulated recently was made by the eunuch!"

Zhuge Xuan immediately burst out laughing, childish at heart.

But she didn't expect Liang'er to admire Xu Zhen so much because of this.

"Liang'er, this is a strange skill, and it's not a strategy of the heavens and the earth."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Uncle, Liang'er dares to say that this is the strategy of Jing Guo. The solidity of the world lies in the people, and knowing the details comes from the general strategy."

"It's the same in the military and government, but it's from top to bottom. The prefect doesn't know the government, so how can he make this weapon? It's because he has a strategy in his chest that he can know how to improve the subtleties."

"You," Zhuge Xuan couldn't talk to him for a moment.

And Zhuge Liang knew that if he chose Xu Zhen, he would definitely argue with his uncle. It was so sweet just now.

Open your mouth slowly first, and speak slowly, so that you can have a firm intention and catch people by surprise.

At this time, Zhuge Liang said again: "This is to save manpower for irrigation. If you can use equipment to transport grain in the future, you will not be short of grain in every battle."

"This is impossible!" Zhuge Xuan had a headache, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he immediately waved his hands and said, "Liang'er, this is really impossible, the road to transport grain is far away, how can we focus on saving, we should focus on stability."

"There is absolutely no such possibility. I thought you had given up this way, but I didn't expect..."

Zhuge Liang bowed deeply, and made Zhuge Xuan stop talking in the middle of his speech.

In the end, he could only wave his hands, "That's all. In troubled times, heroes emerge in large numbers. This Xu Bowen can be regarded as a generation who rides the wind. If you want to go, go."

"Thank you uncle."

Zhuge Liang bowed to the end, but there was a sly smile on his face facing the bluestone.

……

Juancheng, government office.

In the afternoon, after sunset, night falls.

Xu Zhen has resigned after seeing the sky.

Today Liu Bei left early, at noon he made an appointment with Xu Zhen to marry Gan, and he left.

During the conversation, Xu Zhen did not have too much internal friction.

To mention Zhuge for a while, in his opinion, it is really just a favor, and he repaid the favor, so as not to ask for more in the future.

It's best if the two don't owe each other.

The main reason is that this favor is pure prostitution.

I can only say that it is not bad.

When Cao Ang came, Liu Bei had just left, said hello at the door, came in and asked a few casual questions, Xu Zhen answered them one by one, and the matter was considered over.

Of course, this was just what Xu Zhen thought.

[Serious governance, you gain self-discipline value +90]

[Current self-discipline value: 3040]

"In exchange for force."

Xu Zhen exchanged it immediately.

【Force +1】

【Force: 86】

Well, it's getting stronger and stronger.

"When I reach 90, I will truly enter the top ranks, and it will not be in vain for my non-stop practice day and night."

"Continuous governance rewards internal affairs."

"Continuous reading rewards intelligence, while practicing martial arts rewards force, plus occasional exchange for self-discipline points."

"The road is long and difficult..."

Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the obvious changes in his body, and felt more and more happy in his heart.

The higher the force, the more obvious the feeling of each point of improvement, which is an all-round improvement.

Now he is good enough to become a strong general, but he still regards himself as the adviser of the internal affairs officials. This trip to Tibet will come in handy one day sooner or later.

Of course, Xu Zhen hoped that it would be best not to use it.

There has been a little improvement.

Xu Zhen got up happily.

"get off work."

At this time, a black figure came quickly outside the door and stepped into the gate of the government office.

Dian Wei didn't even dare to stop him, so he could only follow behind and walk in small steps, followed by a group of guards, who were either near or far away.

It was Cao Cao who came.

Dressed in a black cloak, wearing a headband, and with a bushy beard, he walked like a dragon and a tiger in the wind, and walked directly into the front yard with incomparable domineering, and then stepped up the steps as if rushing into the hall.

This oppressive feeling made the two guards in front of the main hall tremble, and their bodies stood up straight unconsciously.

Just as Xu Zhen was about to salute, Cao Cao threw the whip on the desk and stared at Xu Zhen left and right.

After going around for a while or two, he opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you met Liu Bei?"

"Which... who is the black complaint!!" Xu Zhen glanced outside the door, and Dian Wei immediately shrank his neck.

He didn't do it, but he still shrank his neck subconsciously. For some reason, Dian Wei always felt that the prefect's eyes were going to kill him.

"Stop wronging people!" Cao Cao smiled angrily, and put his hands behind his back, "It was Su Wei who saw it and came to tell me that I just came back from Puyang."

"Yuan Rang was still praising you this morning, and he was determined not to admire glory and profit. What do you and Liu Xuande have to talk about?"

Cao Cao looked very helpless.

Xu Zhen said calmly: "Talked a few words casually, he found me a good match, and I can marry him in the spring of next year."

"What? You just accepted his favor like this? Isn't it just a woman!?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Xu Bowen, why didn't I realize that you are unique in this way!"

"You're stepping down, right?" Cao Cao's tone was rather domineering, "From today onwards, I will go home with Zixiu for dinner every afternoon."

Xu Zhen immediately fell back tactically, and said, "It's true, no one plows the thin field, and everyone fights for it."

I've never seen you so eager before.

"Then I will take Dian Wei there."

"It's okay, it's just one more person, as much as you can eat."

……

evening.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Dian Wei who was feasting, and murmured: "It's so cruel, it's enough for five people."

　It's a new day to ask for data, everyone.
