No one plows the thin fields, and everyone fights for them.

"Okay, if you have thought it through clearly, then my uncle will no longer advise you. Liang'er's talent will definitely have a place in the future."

Zhuge Xuan stroked his beard gently, his eyes deep.

This child had been a weird child since he was a child. When he was still in school, in order to attend more classes, he would bring rice from home and secretly feed the chickens, thereby stopping the chickens from crowing. He would only wake up with his teacher at sunset.

The breadth of his research was beyond compare to Zhuge Xuan.

At a young age, I have already surveyed hundreds of schools of thought. If I have a few more years to accumulate more knowledge and apply what I have learned, I will really shine.

But, can I still learn something if I go under Cao's command now?

"How does Liang'er plan to deal with himself? Although his family has ancestral property, he has not been able to choose a good place to study. If he stays in Xuzhou, he may not be able to gain a reputation."

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

"Oh?" Zhuge Xuan frowned. It wasn't that he looked down on Xu Bowen, but that Xu Zhen was not from a noble family. He was not a famous scholar or scholar in the country. If he was to be his teacher in the future... his reputation among the noble families would not be obvious.

To put it bluntly...Xu Zhen is the opposite of the gentry. He started from scratch and is not close to any gentry.

If I 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 should understand this truth. Since he made this choice, he must have given it careful consideration.

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

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

"He no longer needs the support of the noble family. If he succeeds in a great career in the future, the prefect will be a member of the noble family."

"Furthermore, since he is so talented, he should have something to learn from. My uncle may have heard about the irrigation device that has been widely spread recently, but it was made by the prefect!"

Zhuge Xuan immediately stopped laughing, such is the nature of a child.

But he didn't expect that because of this, Liang'er would admire Xu Zhen so highly.

"Liang'er, this is a strange and cunning technique, not a strategy that knows the world."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, Liang'er dares to say that this is the strategy of running a country. The foundation of the world lies in the people, and knowing the details comes from the general strategy."

"The army and the government are all like this, but it is from top to bottom. If the prefect does not know the government, how can he create this weapon? It is only by having a strategy in mind that you can know how to improve the subtleties."

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

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

Speak slowly first and speak slowly, so that your intention can be solid and unexpected.

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

"This must be impossible!" Zhuge Xuan had a headache and couldn't laugh or cry. He immediately waved his hands and said: "Liang'er, this is really impossible. The road to transport food is long. How can we focus on economy? We should focus on stability."

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

Zhuge Liang bowed deeply and asked Zhuge Xuan to stop talking in the middle of his words.

In the end, he could only wave his hand and said, "That's all. In troubled times, heroes emerge in large numbers, and this Xu Bowen can be regarded as one who rises with the wind. If you are willing to go, then 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, night will fall after sunset.

Xu Zhen looked at the sky and resigned.

Liu Bei left early today. At noon, he made an appointment with Xu Zhen to propose marriage to Gan in the spring, so he left.

The conversation was very pleasant during this period, and Xu Zhen did not have too much internal friction.

Mentioning Zhuge for a moment seemed to him to be just a favor, and he returned the favor to avoid asking for more in the future.

It is best if the two do not owe each other.

The main reason is that the favor is pure and free.

All I can say is that it’s not a loss.

When Cao Ang came, Liu Bei had just left and said hello in front of the door. He came in and asked a few random questions. Xu Zhen answered them one by one, and the matter was settled.

Of course, this is just what Xu Zhen thinks.

[Manage politics seriously and you will gain self-discipline +90]

[Current self-discipline value: 3040]

"Exchange for force."

Xu Zhen redeemed it immediately.

[Strength +1]

【Strength: 86】

Very good, getting stronger and stronger.

"When I reach 90, I will truly enter the first-class ranks. My non-stop practice will be in vain."

“Continuous administration rewards internal affairs.”

"Continuous reading rewards intelligence, while practicing martial arts rewards force, plus occasionally redeeming it with self-discipline points."

"The road is long and difficult..."

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

The higher the force, the more obvious the feeling will be with each improvement. This is an all-round improvement.

Now he is strong enough to become a strong general, but he still regards himself as an adviser to the internal affairs officials. Sooner or later, this trip to the front will come in handy.

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

There has been a slight improvement.

Xu Zhen stood up happily.

"get off work."

At this time, a dark figure walked quickly outside the door and stepped into the government office door.

Dian Wei didn't even dare to stop him, so he could only follow behind and walk away. A group of guards followed him, either near or far away.

The person coming is Cao Cao.

Wearing a black cloak, a headband, and a shaggy beard, he walked with the wind like a dragon and a tiger. He entered the front yard directly with great domineering style, and then stepped up the steps as if running into the hall.

This sense of oppression caused the two guards in front of the main hall to tremble, and their bodies stood up straight unconsciously.

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

After walking around for a while or two, he finally said, "I heard that I met Liu Bei??"

"Who...who reported the black case!!" Xu Zhen glanced outside the door, and Dian Wei immediately shrank his neck.

It wasn't him who did it, but he still subconsciously shrank his neck. For some reason, Dian Wei always felt that the prefect's eyes meant to have him stabbed.

"You are unfair!" Cao Cao smiled with anger on his face 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. He was determined not to seek honor and profit. What do you and Liu Xuande have to talk about?"

Cao Cao looked very helpless.

Xu Zhen said calmly: "After a few casual conversations, he found a good match for me, and I can go get married next spring."

"What? Are you accepting his favor like this? Aren't you just a woman!?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "Xu Bowen, why didn't I realize that you are so good at this before?"

"He's resigned, right?" Cao Cao said in a rather arrogant tone, "From today on, I will go home with Zixiu to have dinner every afternoon."

Xu Zhen immediately backed up his tactics and exclaimed: "This is really true, no one is plowing the thin fields, and everyone is fighting for the plowed fields."

I've never seen you so eager before.

"Then I will take Dian Wei with me."

"It doesn't matter, it's just one more person, we can eat as much as we can."

…

evening.

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

It’s a new day. I’m looking for data, everyone.
