Chapter 216 Didn’t you invite me to come out?! Why are you so cruel to me?!

"Xu Zhen, you are so poor that you are crazy, aren't you?"

"I'll fight you!!"

Jushou looked around in the thatched cottage, raising his hand to find a sword. There was a sword hanging on the wall next to the desk. He took it out and held it tightly in his hand. He turned back and glanced at the Shuhou Dao hanging on Xu Zhen's waist, thinking of him.

He was the green-faced masked general who beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

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

Xu Zhen stood outside with his hands behind his back and said helplessly: "You are already a hermit. Just stay in this thatched cottage and read a book, focusing on the mountains and rivers."

"If I demolish your Ju family's ancestral home, I can get a large piece of land, which is almost half the size of the county. No one will live in it anyway. The wood and stone obtained can be used to build at least 300 more people's residences. This will truly benefit the people."

, your ancestors will definitely thank me."

"My ancestors wish they could take you away!"

Jushou was so angry that he couldn't help but send someone to persuade me to come out a few days ago! I didn't want to be treated like this!

This is clearly revenge! Xu Bowen, you are so stupid!

I have always thought that you are a person who is self-disciplined, just, and serves the public! You are a man as majestic as the blue sky! A talent that is hard to find throughout the ages!

I was still praising you when I wrote a letter home yesterday!! I will write you to death tonight!

Jusue was panting, his beard was flying, and his chest was rising and falling.

"Demolished."

There was a shout in the distance, Xu Zhen turned around and responded, and then the corner of Jushou's mouth twitched, only to hear a deafening explosion, the earth wall collapsed, people were shouting, and the dust was flying so much that the thatched huts here 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 and calmness he had just felt had long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of loss that he could not have dreamed of in ten thousand years.

This kid... really took action.

He's not threatening me.

"You really dare to do it!"

Jushu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Although the ancestral home was indeed no longer needed, it was of no use to him. After Yuan Shao's death, Ju Shou lost all interest in the world. He only thought about eating three meals a day with porridge and side dishes, reading and writing, and waiting for the end.

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

This guy is so ruthless, damn it. He used the armored cavalry with great military exploits to pull down the house. He pulled it up so fast that the famous general Zhang Liao, who was so easy to use on the battlefield, was no less capable at commanding the demolition of houses at this moment.

In one charge, the house was reduced to rubble through an area connected by ropes.

A mountain-like house has more than seventy courtyards, intersecting four streets and alleys. After all are demolished, the vacant land can even be filled with a lake.

Qinghe County itself is a city built on the lake. The waterway is very smooth. A large river runs through the river and is connected by various bridges. The inner city is extremely spacious, and the streets and roads are all available for transportation. Countless Confucian scholars came and went in the prosperous times in the past, making people all over the world

All envious.

Although the population is sparse now, sooner or later the former vitality will be restored. Jushou has no intention of becoming an official, but he has the intention of enjoying the world. He is still ready to wait for that day to come, and then talk about the injustice of the world and the glorious past.

"Everything has been done, and so has Dian Wei. He is the Marquis of Jiwu and the General of Wei."

Xu Zhen pointed to Dian Wei next to him.

Jushuo was speechless. His hands hung down weakly, as if he had lost all his strength and leaned against the door. His lips twitched slightly, "You are noble and noble. You are amazing."

"Your Majesty, my Majesty... I did not mean to offend, but I miss my old master and have no face to serve as a second person. You don't have to risk the disapproval of the world, if you have to do this."

"I am willing to help..."

"No," Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand, "Jun Jun, you are overly worried. This is not to force you to leave the mountain. You can stay in seclusion. Do you want this lake and this thatched cottage? I will find another one for you in Dunshan."

On a land boundary, make it Julonggang, Qiulonggang or something, so that you can work hard outside."

Jushou was stunned immediately and his face changed drastically. Does this mean you won’t invite me anymore?!

Didn't they send people to invite him a few days ago? Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang came in turn, and then Yang Xiu, the son of the Yang family, came to visit and gave many books, gifts, and gold, silver, and silk cloth.

, I respect you so much, why don’t you invite me now?

Are you asking me to go work on farming?

That's all, people are a knife and a slave, I am a fish and meat...I have to do whatever he asks me to do.

"Then why don't you, Lord, send me back to the second son Yuan Xi?"

Taking one last look at the ancestral home, it was all over. If I arrived in Youzhou, even though I didn't like the two young masters, I could still serve the Yuan family. Even if it ended miserably, it wouldn't matter.

Xu Zhen nodded immediately, "Okay."

Turning to Dian Wei, he pointed at Jushou and said, "Send the head to Youzhou."

"Eh."

Dian Wei drew his knife and stepped forward without any ambiguity. Inside the room, Jushou's feet almost softened when he heard this. He quickly stretched out his hand at the door, "Wait a minute!"

"I mean, send my people there."

"Have you eaten too much?" Xu Zhen leaned forward slightly and asked with a puzzled face: "Do you think it is possible? You can either go into seclusion, or I will send your head over. There is no third option."

"I return."

Jushou's cheeks puffed up. At this moment, he wanted to commit suicide out of anger, or choose to die to keep his name of innocence, but it was a pity and he couldn't bear to see the outcome of this world.

Or, as the last son of the Ju family, he did not dare to die so easily. It was fine before, but now if he dies and sees his ancestors asking about the ancestral home, it will not be easy to survive.

.

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

Outside the door, Xu Zhen felt a little regretful. It was a pity that the lake could not be sold, but the aquatic products in the lake could still be used to sell money or make homemade meals. Anyway, they are all mine.

Just give him Jushou Qingming to save face.

Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at the door.

Of course Ju Shou inside didn't know that Jia Xu and the others came to persuade him because as a celebrity of his generation, he felt sorry for Ju Shou's talent and character and spontaneously came to lobby for Xu Zhen. In fact, Xu Zhen never gave a single order.

Since ten days ago, I have been thinking about how much money the family's ancestral property can be sold for, and how much it is worth, and sold in bulk to nearby merchants. If I use force, I can definitely exchange for a lot of ordinary wood and stone, so that more people can be settled.

Construct buildings and roads in the outer city and nearby villages and townships in Qinghe County.

Once 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 used sparingly, but not too much. Once there is extensive felling without cultivation, it is likely to face many disasters many years later. Therefore, after many years of construction, it is necessary to rebuild it again.

To build cities and roads, foreign materials must be used.

Or, they are based on existing buildings that have already been built, such as Jushu's ancestral residences.

…

Xu Zhen arrived at the ancestral residence of the Cui family that day. At this time, what he did to Jushu had spread throughout Qinghe, but the Cui family was a branch of the Pre-Qin family and came to live in Qinghe, and it has slowly developed to this day.

Their lineage has had hundreds of years of experience as officials, and they are a rich family with deep roots and proud integrity.

Cui Yan is one of the people with integrity and pride who would rather break than bend. It is a pity that Cui Yan is in Yecheng.

At Cui's ancestral home is his younger brother, Cui Lin.

When Cui Lin was young, he was not well-liked by his people. The elders in his family thought that he was dull and honest, slow to learn and think slowly, and it was always during the starry night when he had enlightenment. Although he was eager to learn and practical, he was dull.

However, Cui Yan has always admired his brother's perseverance. He thinks that others are always complacent when they gain something, but Cui Lin is the only one who realizes it late and prefers to think more, so he will gain more every time he teaches.

If things go on like this, over time, in the future, even if you are older, you will still have income. Hou Fei may not be able to achieve great things. The Cui family's ancestral house will also be demolished, because their clan members were all taken away by Yuan Shao and lost along the way, leaving Cui Lin to guard the house.

, an empty shell!

Apart from collecting books at home, it has no use at all, and it occupies a large area and is a waste of good wood resources. It is better to move to Tobu City and find a new address.

Dian Wei gained face today in front of the celebrity Jushou, so when he arrived at Cui's place, he directly volunteered to go in for talks, making sure that Cui Lin bowed his head, nodded and bowed.

Xu Zhen, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "Then go ahead. If you don't get it right, I'll come back."

"Then if there's anything you can't handle, just do it neatly."

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

Xu Zhen said seriously.

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously in a daze: "You demolished someone's ancestral home, and you still have the nerve to let someone become an official under your command??"

This request is too much. If I kill the person directly, I will know how to do it. Then it will be said to the outside world that Cui Lin missed his late master Yuan Shaoju so much that he followed him and died.

Although Yuan Shao never conquered him.

But if I can't hurt him, then I can't threaten him too hard. Isn't this just being manipulated by him? So what should I do?

Xu Zhen was stunned: "You have killed more than thirty generals, how can you have the nerve to recruit other people's soldiers?"

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

"Just use money."
