Zhuge Gui was silent for a while, and then said: "You go to Yuanlong and ask him to transfer another 8,000 taels of silver to you, and go to Xiapi to buy some grain and grass and come back." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Back to the mansion, learned that Cao Bao sent someone to fight thousands of taels of silver in the autumn wind, Zhuge Gui was so angry that his whole body trembled, in the past three years, Zhuge has intended to guide his father, often talk deeply with his father, at first Zhuge Gui disagreed, and then gradually surprised, and then gradually convinced, knowing that the future glory of the Zhuge family is not because of the second son of the demon who leads the world wisely, but the third son Zhuge Jun of this clumsy freak.

After talking to his third son, Zhuge Gui became disillusioned with this Han dynasty scripture, and he began to gather strength to protect himself, his family, and his people. In the Han Dynasty, most Confucian scholars regarded promotion as a bridge to wealth, in response to the old saying, "There is a golden house in the book; There are thousands of bells in the book; There is Yan Ruyu in the book. In fact, Zhuge Gui also thought this way at the beginning, but when he really became an official, this thought completely disappeared in his mind. Influenced by his ancestor Zhuge Feng, he made an oath of "being an official not for money, but for the people of the world".

Officials know that being honest and honest is the most basic requirement for being an official, but from ancient times to the present, there are a few people who can do this. Throughout history, there are only a handful of Qing officials, but Zhuge Gui is a rare Qing official. After he became the county magistrate, his father once said to Yi Gegui: "You became the county magistrate, but my family still relies on farming for a living, and it is unreliable for him to eat." He was good friends with Zheng Xuan, and after becoming the county magistrate, he corresponded with Zheng Xuan: "Since I was twenty-six years old, I have been ashamed of being an official and making a fortune, and I am ashamed and ashamed of being an official and a eunuch to enrich my own pockets and accumulate wealth for my descendants. Therefore, I made a vow that I would never rely on being an official to make a fortune in this life, and to accumulate wealth for future generations. The gods bear witness that I will not break my word. ”

Zhuge Gui's words are not lies, nor are they high-sounding scenes. He does what he says, his words and deeds, and in his thirteen years as an official, he has never made an exception. Corruption was rampant in the Han Dynasty, and almost everyone in the DPRK and China was corrupt. And Zhuge Gui, who is a member of the history department, is in the mud and is not stained, his sleeves are clean, and he does what he says, and it is precisely because of this that he can be reused.

Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han court was no longer rich, so the salaries were not high, and the families with large populations could not fill their stomachs. In order to make a living, many ministers followed the trend of corruption, especially the local feudal officials, who were far away from the Son of Heaven, and were even more unscrupulous and accumulated. The emperor at that time also knew about the corruption of officials, but he waited and saw what happened, and when these officials became giant beetles, he immediately came by surprise and beheaded them. People call it "sheep slaughter". This kind of "sheep slaughtering" move has some effect on the timid officials, but it has no effect on the bold officials. Because the amount of corruption is so large and the time has passed, it is difficult to stop.

In fact, many people can't imagine how hard Zhuge Gui's life was. In the second year of Zhuge Gui's entry into Luoyang, although Zhuge Gui was a lower-level official of the Ministry of History, his life was miserable. At that time, Zhuge Gui had very little money and barely enough to make ends meet, but he still had to send some silver taels to his family, so he could only borrow from the east and the west, often tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall. I finally looked forward to the end of the year, because there was an old practice at the end of the year, and foreign officials sent filial piety, that is, local officials were filial piety to Beijing officials, so that they could have a good year. But that year, Zhuge Gui was very disappointed. Because he had no real power in his hands at that time, the local government did not give Zhuge Gui filial piety. In desperation, Zhuge Gui borrowed some silver taels from others for the New Year.

It wasn't until after he was promoted that Zhuge Gui's life was a little better than before. But for him, the pressure is too great, he has to repay the foreign debts owed by the family for him to study, and he also has to support the parents and children of the family and Zhuge Xuan's family, he became an official a few years earlier than his brother Zhuge Xuan, but he has too many ups and downs, so that his official position is lower than that of his brother later.

Zhuge Gui saw that Cao Bao sent people to fight the autumn wind every once in a while, he also felt that there was no way, it seems that San'er is right, his own power is still too small, it seems that the position of Xuzhou's assassin history should be considered in advance.

Walking out of the mansion, Zhuge Gui went to the backyard, went up to the three-story pavilion, and looked around, only to see that it was densely populated outside, some people were resting in the teahouse, some were watching fortune telling, and some were eating in the rice shop. In the distance, the boats in the river come and go, end to end, or the slender man pulls, or the boatman rocks, some are full of goods, upstream, some are berthed, and they are nervously unloading, Zhuge Gui knows that eighty percent of these goods belong to Zhuge family.

Zhuge Gui looked at it, and suddenly there was a surge of arrogance in his heart.

Zhuge didn't know that his father had the heart to win the history of Xuzhou, and now he was walking in the mountains of Mount Tai.

Xuzhou is located in the downstream of the tributaries of the ancient Huai River, Yi, Shu and Si Zhushui, with the old channel of the Yellow River as the watershed, forming the Yi, Shu and Sishui systems in the north and the Sui and An rivers in the south. The rivers in the territory are criss-crossed, lakes and marshes, reservoirs are dotted, the waste Yellow River runs diagonally through the east and west, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and south, and there is Yi in the east....

There is a river in the Taishan Mountains where Zhuge Jun is located, and Zhuge Jun does not know what the river is called, but the river water volume is very sufficient, and the flow speed is very fast, so Zhuge Jun made full use of water power and made some simple machine tools to build some weapons.

On the banks of the river, there is a huge barracks.
