Nan Ye was refreshed after a night of romance, although Zhen Mi couldn't get out of bed because of the pain of breaking melons, the joy on her face was difficult to hide. Zhen Mi, who had tasted the knot of people for the first time, was nourished by Nan Ye's room technique and became more beautiful than before, a little less green and a little more charming.

Nan Ye, who had nothing to do in the house, devoted all his energy to the government affairs of Jiaozhou. On the surface, Nan Ye's territory at this time was only half of the entire territory of Jiaozhou plus Yangzhou and Yizhou, at best, the land of two states. In fact, Nan Ye controls the economic lifeline of the entire Han Dynasty through dart bureaus, money houses, factories, and caravans, and even Nan Ye of overseas countries controls a lot.

At this time, Yizhou had developed into a naval base in Nanye, and the caravans escorted by the Jiaozhou Navy could reach Lanzhou and Liaodong in the northeast for trade, and in the southwest they could go directly to today's Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, Myanmar, India and other countries. Jiaozhou's silk, paper, porcelain and other specialties are all hot commodities in these countries, and they have exchanged a large amount of real money and various materials for Nanye. Now the kings of overseas countries only know that there are the Great Dao Sage Nanye Guoshi and Jiaozhou Yishang, and they don't know who the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is.

While Nan Ye gathered the wealth of the world in Jiaozhou, he also asked the dart bureau to move the homeless people in the war to Jiaozhou. Nan Ye used the accumulated wealth to feed these people, and in turn, these people created wealth for Nan Ye, and Jiaozhou was full of prosperity. This also allows Nan Ye to have endless government affairs to deal with, but most government affairs Nan Ye does not have to do it himself, as long as he gives guidance, there are naturally think tanks and officials to help him implement it.

On this day, Nan Ye was in charge of the government in the mansion, and Guo Jia suddenly ran in and said, "National Teacher, Pang Shiyuan has arrived at the Zhaoxian Pavilion." ”

When Nan Ye heard that Pang Tong was coming, he stood up and said happily: "Really? ”

Guo Jia smiled: "That's nature! The national teacher specially instructed the Zhaoxian Pavilion to pay attention to the arrival of the talents, and they immediately reported to the mansion. ”

The Three Kingdoms cattle in Nan Ye's memory were all registered in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and he specially instructed the officials of the Zhaoxian Pavilion to notify them as soon as they encountered them. Feng Xiao Pang Tong was undoubtedly one of the bulls, and Nan Ye hurriedly got up and led Guo Jia to the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

However, it was said that after Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang returned to their hometowns after traveling abroad, they found that several friends had all left their hometowns. If it weren't for Pang Degong and Sima Hui still there, neither of them would know where to go to inquire about the whereabouts of these friends. When the two learned that Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin and others were all invited by Nan Ye, their reactions were different.

Zhuge Liang just smiled faintly after hearing the news, and didn't say much. Pang Tong couldn't help but start asking the whole story. Pang Degong and Sima Hui both knew that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were equally talented, but their temperaments were somewhat different. Zhuge Liang is so quiet and not moving, his kung fu of cultivating his mind is better, and he can make Mount Tai collapse in front without changing color. Pang Tong has a vigorous temper, active but not quiet, and his joys, angers, sorrows and sorrows are also on his face.

Pang Degong roughly talked about Nanye Jingzhou's visit to Xian to marry Huang Yueying, and then said to the two: "I look at the national teacher and the talent, and the corporal is virtuous." The two of you are now successful in your studies, if you want to become a teacher, you might as well go to the national teacher. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything when he heard that his eldest brother and his friends went to Nan Ye, but when he heard that Nan Ye married Huang Yueying, he couldn't help frowning, showing a look of surprise. Zhuge Liang is not beautiful, he just wants to marry a good wife, and Huang Yueying happens to meet his standards, but he didn't expect to be taken by Nan Ye, which was somewhat unexpected to him. However, Zhuge Liang's surprise disappeared for a moment, and then he said: "I often hear that the national teacher is talented, but as soon as my brother leaves, there is no one to take care of me at home, and I still want to study more......"

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to finish speaking, Pang Tong said: "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, Yuan Zhi and they have already become officials and pastors, you compare yourself to Zhong Leyi, why do you still have to cultivate and study at home?" There is a way to apply what you have learned, isn't it just to calm the world and make decisions for the people? I see you've read enough, why don't you go out with me and help protect a master? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled: "There is no end to learning, and reading more books is always haode." What's more, the so-called master, when there is a person who knows people and uses people's talents, if we are really talented, we will not go out and there will be a master to invite. Maybe as soon as you left on your front foot, the national teacher came here to visit again! ”

Pang Tong pouted and said, "How can there be such a good thing? Even if the national teacher comes again, I don't know what year and month it will be, at that time, Yuan Zhi and they have already become feudal officials, and I will start from scratch again, won't I fall behind? ”

Zhuge Liang knew that Pang Tong was strong, and Zhuge Liang himself was also strong, but he used his kung fu in the dark, unlike Pang Tong written on his face. Zhuge Liang has his reasons for not wanting to go out, because taking the initiative to go out is like going to an interview to find a job, and really talented and famous people don't have to look for jobs by themselves, and headhunters will come to the door. Zhuge Liang believes that with his own talent and fame, there will always be people who come to invite him, and at that time, the starting point of the official is always higher than that of Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and it is easier to be reused. Besides, because his brother Zhuge Jin has already invested in Nan Ye, Zhuge Liang doesn't really want to work for Nan Ye anymore, this is the reason for the family's diversified investment.

Zhuge Liang didn't say what he thought in his heart to persuade Pang Tong, because he knew that Pang Tong's temperament was different from his own, and Pang Tong, who was eager to make meritorious contributions and learn to succeed, couldn't wait, and it was useless to persuade himself. So Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "We are all classmates and friends, so what's the matter if we are left behind?" ”

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang have not been together for a day or two, and they already know his temper. Don't look at Zhuge Liang's lips and the world, in fact, he is stronger than anyone else in his heart. Pang Tong said: "If our talents are below others, I will be convinced after falling behind." But if it is because of the difference between the morning and the evening, I am not convinced. If you want to wait, you wait, but I won't wait. ”

Zhuge Liang knew that this was the result, so he asked: "So Shiyuan wants to go to Jiaozhou to join the national division?" ”

Unexpectedly, Pang Tong shook his head and said, "That's not the case!" The princes of the world are not only the national teacher, but who is not necessarily the master, I want to visit and then make a conclusion. ”

Pang Degong and Sima Hui seem to have long been accustomed to the dispute between Wolong and Feng Ying, and they do not interfere with their choice. So Zhuge Liang went home to plough and study, and Pang Tong set off again after resting.

Although Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang have different views on Zhushi, they also have something in common, that is, they do not plan to vote for Cao Cao. It's not that they don't look down on Cao Cao, but because Cao Cao's shili is already very large, and even if they are like-minded, they don't have too many opportunities to make contributions. Moreover, Cao Cao has a lot of talents, and the military generals have formed factions, and the relationship and interests are complicated, and it is difficult to get ahead when he goes to work.

For example, the princes other than Cao Cao today are only Nan Ye, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Sun Quan, and Zhang Lu. Pang Tong's first consideration when he wanted to choose the master was naturally Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, which was closest to his hometown.

Liu Biao has asked Pang Degong to go out of the mountain to help many times, and even visited him in person, but Pang Degong refused. Now that he heard that Pang Tong was coming, he was naturally overjoyed, so he invited Pang Tong into the mansion to speak. But as soon as he saw Pang Tong, Liu Biao began to frown.

Pang Tong's dignity is indeed flattering, with broom eyebrows, triangular eyes, rolled nostrils, and short black hair, which is strange in appearance. Let's put it this way, as soon as Pang Tong stood beside Liu Biao, Liu Biao began to feel uncomfortable. As a result, he didn't say a word, and didn't even ask Pang Tong what he meant, so Liu Biao served tea and sent it off.

It's no wonder that Liu Biao judges people by his appearance, but Pang Tong's appearance is too ugly. Liu Biao himself is eight feet long, with a gentle and majestic appearance, and he is one of the "Eight Handsome People of Jiangxia". Liu Biao felt uncomfortable when he looked at Pang Tong, and he was afraid of being laughed at by his friends if he stayed around, so even if Pang Tong was talented, Liu Biao didn't want to use it.

Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh when he came out of Liu Biao's mansion, he was so keen on his career and eager to prove himself, which had nothing to do with his appearance. Pang Tong thinks that his talent is not inferior to Zhuge Liang, but when he and Zhuge Liang traveled abroad, Zhuge Liang always took advantage of him, and he suffered. Not for anything else, just because Zhuge Liang is handsome and chic, and Pang Tong himself is short and ugly. Even if he goes halfway to ask the people in the village for a drink, Zhuge Liang has a high success rate. How could Pang Tong not be depressed?

It is precisely because Pang Tong is self-aware that he did not learn Zhuge Liang to sit firmly at home and wait for someone to invite. Zhuge Liang looks like a master outside the world, so naturally someone will invite him. But he Pang Tong is not, he doesn't want to send it to Liu Biao, why is Pang Tong not in a hurry?

Pang Tong didn't go to see Liu Bei after resigning Liu Biao, because he felt that these two were both relatives of the Han family, and they were also dignified, and it was estimated that the result was similar. The second person he visited was Sun Quan, because he had heard that the lord of Jiangdong was purple-haired and blue-eyed, and had a peculiar appearance. Pang Tong felt that Sun Quan looked different from ordinary people, and he might not care too much about his appearance.

This time, Pang Tong did not visit Sun Quan directly, but found Lu Su first. After all, Sun Quan is not Liu Biao, it is impossible to know his name as a phoenix and pangtong, and he can't see him directly.

Lu Su really knows people, and after talking with Pang Tong, he knows his talent. Xiang Sun Quan said: "There is a person in my house who will vote." This person is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and his strategy is not less than that of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and his cardinal is comparable to Sun Wu and Wu Qi. ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he invited Pang Tong to come and see him. People say that it is better to be famous than to meet, and when you get to Pang Tong, you have to transfer it to become famous as meeting. Sun Quan didn't like Pang Tong's face when he saw it, it can be said that everyone has a love for beauty, Sun Quan's weird appearance does not mean that he can accept the same weird-looking Pang Tong.

Fortunately, Sun Quan was more restrained than Liu Biao, and did not immediately drive away Pang Tong, but asked: "What has Mr. learned in his life, what is the main thing?" ”

Pang Tong is knowledgeable and does not lose to Zhuge Liang, and he is a good hand at military strategy and governance, so he replied calmly: "I am not rigid, I just adapt to the situation." ”
