Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

This made the doorman who was leading the way in front change his expression drastically. He hurriedly stepped forward to support the little fat boy and asked.

"Young Master, are you hurt anywhere?"

"it's okay no problem."

Adou rubbed his forehead with one hand, rubbed his butt with the other hand and stood up. He did not show much arrogance, but spoke to the doorman.

"Don't tell your father about this."

Seeing that Adou was indeed safe and sound, the doorman felt relieved and responded quickly.

"Yes, yes, young master."

Li Xiang, who was a step behind Adou, ran over breathlessly and asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, brother, don't worry, just don't tell my father." Adou reiterated.

This made Li Xiang look a little helpless.

Adou was under strict control of Liu Bei in his own mansion, and was not allowed to run around like that.

It's just childish nature, they laugh and play all the time.

Looking at Liu Bei's group as a whole, Li Ji was the only one who did not discipline A Dou in this way and dared to let him run around freely.

Therefore, what Adou was worried about was that after his father-in-law knew about this, he would not only scold him, but would also not allow Adou to laugh and play in the mansion like this.

However, Li Xiang did not agree directly. After looking around, he put on some dignity as an elder brother and said.

"Young Master, since you have made a mistake due to your own fault, your first thought should not be how to cover it up, but how to make up for it. This is what a gentleman should do."

Adou may be inferior to Li Xiang in other aspects, but his main feature is that he is willing to listen to advice and training.

Faced with Li Xiang's teachings, Adou was not angry at all. Instead, he hurriedly stepped forward with a guilty look on his face, helped Zhuge Liang up, and took the initiative to bow and apologize.

"No problem, no problem..."

Not to mention that Adou had an extraordinary identity, even if he was just a child from an ordinary family, Zhuge Liang would naturally not care about such a trivial matter.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiang went up to Dai Dai A Dou with a serious look on his face and apologized again.

Finally, Adou, who wanted to express his apology, searched his body and took out a small golden bean and put it into Zhuge Liang's hand. Then he pulled Li Xiang away in a hurry.

For a moment, Zhuge Liang felt a little amused and embarrassed holding the little golden bean. He simply thought of giving it to the doorman and asking him to return it to Guo Shihou.

Seeing this, the doorman waved his hands repeatedly.

"Since the young master is expressing his apology through this, just accept it, no problem."

"Young Master? Could he be the son of Uncle Liu?" Zhuge Xuan asked carefully.

"Yes, it is the lord's son, with a nickname of Adou. Because he regards my master as his uncle, he often comes to the mansion to play with the young master. I hope I was rude at that moment. Please forgive me." The doorman replied.

Then, the doorman led Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Liang to a side hall to wait, and asked a maid to serve tea and snacks.

After the doorman left, Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"There are always arrogant people in the rich and powerful families, from the younger generation to the servants. Now I see that the children and the doorman in the Guoshihou Mansion are all polite and well-mannered, and they never bully others by taking advantage of their power. This also shows the Guoshihou's usual style."

After a pause, Zhuge Xuan looked at Zhuge Liang holding the small golden bean, as if he was thinking about something. This made Zhuge Xuan think that Zhuge Liang was still worried about what happened just now, so he comforted him.

"Young Master Adou must have gotten familiar with the affairs of the mansion and was so lost in play that he didn't notice us and bumped into us. If Liang'er is fine, why worry about such a small matter?"

"No."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "What I am thinking about is this little golden bean."

"Oh? What's abnormal about the little golden bean?" Zhuge Xuan asked.

"I originally thought that Uncle Liu and Marquis Guoshi were frugal in their daily lives in order to benefit the people and enrich them while being frugal themselves. However, Young Master Adou could give out the little golden beans at will, which is different from my previous judgment." Zhuge Liang replied.

"Perhaps it's just that Uncle Liu dotes on his descendants, so he gives them some small toys during festivals." Zhuge Xuan guessed.

"otherwise……"

Zhuge Liang's clear and deep eyes flashed with some speculation, and said.

"I have recently studied the book Guanzi and compared it with the prosperity of Wu County. There are many contradictions and confusions. I thought that I had not learned the essence of it, so I was confused."

"Now, I think maybe Uncle Liu and the Duke of Guo Shi have discovered a large amount of gold mines, which is why they were able to train a large number of elite soldiers and ensure that people's livelihood is not in decline at all, but is increasingly prosperous."

This made Zhuge Xuan confused for a moment, and he looked at the little golden bean and said, "It's too arbitrary to make such an inference based on just this little golden bean."

In response, Zhuge Liang smiled and did not debate the logic with his uncle.

This speculation may seem far-fetched, but it is actually the conclusion Zhuge Liang came to after considering all aspects.

Not to mention the prosperity and changes in Wu County over the years, Liu Bei and Li Ji were not extravagant or wasteful in their daily lives. If the finances were really tight, how could they let A Dou play with the little golden beans so casually?
Just one tiny golden bean is enough to buy a year's worth of food for a family of three.

However, after eliminating those unreasonable speculations one by one, it is the fact that Liu Bei controlled a large number of gold and silver mines that can explain everything in Wu County today from all aspects.

Because there was a mine at home and he had no shortage of gold, even though Liu Bei was used to being frugal, he did not restrict Adou from playing with gold beans.

Soon, it became inconvenient to communicate because I was in another person’s place.

So Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Liang did not talk any more, but waited quietly.

As the sky gradually darkened, a figure of extraordinary bearing walked in with hurried steps.

Li Ji's gaze turned, first sweeping across Zhuge Xuan, and then falling on Zhuge Liang.

"Wolong is in my hands!"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows, and while returning the greeting to Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Liang who stood up quickly, he couldn't help feeling a little happy.

In fact, Li Ji had always been keeping an eye on Zhuge Liang, a top-notch talent with a clear background and easy to find, through the Jinyi Division.

It’s just that these top-quality seedlings were too small before, and Li Ji needed to lead an expedition to Yingzhou, so the conditions and timing were not yet mature, so he just watched silently.

Now that the world is about to fall into chaos, on the one hand, in order to prevent these top-quality seedlings from getting into trouble, and on the other hand, as Li Ji's reputation and prestige are growing, Li Ji naturally began to harvest these top-quality seedlings quickly and without hesitation.

After all, if you harvest young people who are just over ten years old in the name of officialdom, people will just think you are making fun of them.

But with Li Ji's current attitude, there are only a few people who can refuse.

How could he refuse the world's first disciple, a self-proclaimed genius? (End of this chapter)
