Since Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the city wall of Xudu has expanded three times, and the prosperity of Xudu today is not inferior to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the western capital.

After tossing and turning on the mountain road for three days, and walking the official road for most of the day, under the afterglow of the sunset, the new capital lined by the towering city wall of Xudu is particularly magnificent, compared to the joy of Ling'er, Pang Shanmin has a bitter face, exhausted, and even has no strength to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The scholar's weak physique still made it a little difficult for him to cope with the long journey that came along the way.

The convoy entered from the middle gate, was checked several times by the guards of the armor and armor, Pang Shanmin and his party were able to enter the city, in the city of Xudu, people come and go, prosperous like a brocade, although this big city is compared with Luoyang, Chang'an, less than the thickness of the thousand-year-old capital, but there is a trace of vitality and vigor.

Go to the inn to book a room, Pang Shanmin couldn't stand it, shrunk in the house to recuperate, but Ling'er went out of the inn in good spirits, wandered around, the servants brought food, Pang Shanmin after the night, slept until the sky was bright, and the tired body had a little more strength.

Useless is a scholar......

In the face of Ling'er's ridicule, Pang Shanmin also had to admit that his weak figure was really a drag, but he was originally a scholar, and he didn't need to be physically strong, after all, it was not his turn to fight on the battlefield, as long as he was not like the ghost Guo Jia, who went to Hebei and died of water and soil adaptation, it was enough.

Saying...... I don't know how Mr. Ghost Cai's health is now, maybe it won't be long before Xu Du will have the news of the death of this current Cao Ying's first strategist.

Born Guo Fengxiao, a heroic hero: the history of the scriptures in the abdomen, the hidden armor soldier in the chest; Fortune is like Fan Li, and decision-making is like Chen Ping. It's a pity that he died first, and Liang Dong of the Central Plains fell into ......

Thinking back on the life of this Cao Ying ghost talent, Pang Shanmin also sighed, if Guo Jia did not die, not to mention that Cao Cao would be defeated in Chibi in the future, I am afraid that even Pang Shanmin's Jingnan strategy would be detected by Guo Xianjiu.

"It's a pity ......"

Pang Shanmin sighed slightly, Guo Jia was about to die, although it was excellent news for Pang Shanmin's future plans, but he found that he couldn't be happy no matter what, and the death of a generation of heroes would always make people feel sorry.

"What's the pity?" Ling'er looked at Pang Shanmin who was sighing in surprise, and said strangely: "If the little uncle is not well, rest for a few more days, don't force yourself to ......"

"Nothing." Pang Shanmin waved his hand, got up and said with a smile: "I want to meet Xun Shangshu, I can't accompany you today, girl, stay in the inn honestly, don't run around!" ”

"Xun Yu or Xun Yu? The official Zhishang has ordered it? Hearing this, Ling'er pursed her lips.

"Xun Wenruo." Pang Shanmin said that, out of the door, Ling'er sighed, Xun Yu this person, outstanding resourcefulness, once with Cao Cao, Xun You and others calculated Lu Bu, so that he lost Yanzhou and then ran to Xuzhou, if the grudge is settled, even Xun Yu has a lot of feuds with his Lu family.

It wasn't until the footsteps of Pang Shanmin outside the door gradually faded away that Ling'er had a bitter little face and muttered in a low voice, "Daddy, you have enemies all over the place, but how can you let your daughter take revenge?" ”

Xun Yu is not Han Xuan and Huang Zu, if he uses yellow and white things to marry this person, I am afraid it will only backfire, so Pang Shanmin only brought one servant and came to the gate of Shangshu Mansion empty-handed.

Handed over the post, Pang Shanmin waited in front of the door, and after a while, Pang Shanmin saw a middle-aged elderly man coming out of the middle door, who was described as handsome and dignified.

This person must be Xun Yu, Pang Shanmin secretly praised in his heart, shook to the ground, and said to the visitor: "Xiangyang Academy is the last to advance, Pang Shanmin to see Lord Shang Shuling." ”

"Hurry up and excuse me!" Xun Yu hurriedly greeted him, with a happy face, and helped Pang Shanmin to say: "It turned out to be a young hero of the Pang family, and please talk about it in the hall." ”

Xun Yu's enthusiastic attitude made Pang Shanmin a little flattered, and Pang Shanmin hurriedly changed his face to a respectful look and said to Xun Yu: "I don't deserve such praise from adults." ”

Xun Yu nodded and smiled, looked up and down at the young students in front of him, secretly praised Pang Shanmin's advance and retreat, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Please also ask Da Pang Gongzi to talk about it, my father-in-law often says that Xiangyang Academy has many talents, and when I see it today, it is true." ”

Xun Yu? Is this guy Bai Xiaosheng born?

Pang Shanmin's heart sank, and he said quietly: "My lord's praise is false, and now the mountain people are only a businessman, and my lord's praise is really embarrassing." ”

"Merchants can also do great things!" After Xun Yu finished speaking, Pang Shanmin was frightened out of cold sweat on his back, could it be that his Jingnan strategy had already been detected by the people of the Xun family? Xun Yu said to himself: "Bamboo paper is a thing, beautifully made, but the price is too expensive, and the prime minister will always be amazed when he repeatedly mentions this thing." “

I see......

Pang Shanmin laughed when he heard this, it seems that he thinks too much, Xun Yu Xun Yu even if he has the ability, he will not be an unpredictable prophet, if this Xun Shangshu is only for bamboo paper, he can talk to him well.

"I came to Xudu this time, and I wanted to offer some new paper to the Son of Heaven." Pang Shanmin said, followed behind Xun Yu, and came to the lobby, Pang Shanmin saw that on Xun Yu's desk, a roll of bamboo slips was piled up like a hill, grinned, and said to Xun Yu: "Why don't you use paper to record all the words on the bamboo slips?" ”

"Isn't Childe going to sell that bamboo paper to the official?" When Xun Yu heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Although Xun has a little family resources, he can't afford to use the bamboo paper that is more expensive than gold......

"If you want to use paper, why do you need to buy it?" Pang Shanmin shook his head and said: "I have prepared thousands of pieces of bamboo paper to present to today's saint, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng has also prepared more than 100 sheets. ”

Pang Shanmin said that, seeing Xun Yu's expression change slightly, he said with a smile: "Adults are in the middle, and they should know that it is more efficient to use that paper to work." ”

"How can I not know the benefits of bamboo paper?" Xun Yu smiled when he heard this, his words changed suddenly, and he said to Pang Shanmin: "As a businessman, it is a pity after all, the official can be the son of heaven, and make the prince Yu Xu Du an official ......."

Pang Shanmin was stunned for a moment, and sighed slightly: "My lord has a good plan, if I am an official in Xu Du, my lord will not worry about using paper!" ”

"That's exactly how it should be." Xun Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "This deal, whether it is for the son or the official, is good." ”

"The homeland is difficult to leave, and my Pang family has lived in Jingxiang for a long time, and Jingsheng Gong is also a relative of the Han family, there is not much difference between being an official in Xudu and being an official in Jingxiang...... Pang Shanmin said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't like to be an official when I was born, and I thought that it was more interesting to do that businessman and bargain with others." ”
