Yes? Yiling is small enough, it is still a subordinate administrative unit, Pang Tong did not dare to bargain, and hung his head listlessly.

"What's wrong, you're still not satisfied?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"Satisfied." The sound is as small as a mosquito humming.

"To tell you the truth, Lao Pang, what about Yiling, although the sparrows are small, and our salary here is high, do a good job, and there are quarterly bonuses, semi-annual bonuses, year-end and other bonuses, so that you have no worries about the economy." Wang Baoyu came with some economic stimulus.

Pang Tongyi listened to it and asked, "Could it be that I am still serving as Gong Cao?" ”

"Okay, I can't think of a better official name, so let's call it Gong Cao. However, you don't have to worry about the internal affairs of Yiling City. Wang Baoyu said.

The scope of this Gong Cao's position management has been narrowed, but Pang Tong has no room for negotiation, with his current situation, it would be good to have a place to stay.

Pang Tongbei rewarded him with a clean house, plus two servants to serve him, and gave him a hundred taels of silver as a settlement fee. Pang Tong was very active in his work, and the next day he went to the countryside full of fighting spirit.

Ma Liang found Wang Baoyu, he had already learned from Zhuge Liang that Pang Tong was very talented, and he intended to hand over the affairs of the whole county to Pang Tong, and he was willing to be the deputy taishou to assist Pang Tong.

Wang Baoyu didn't agree, not because Pang Tong was uninhibited and often spoke very hard, but every Qiē in Yiling City was built by him, and he didn't feel at ease when he handed it over to Pang Tong. Moreover, Liu Bei may not be able to agree, in Wang Baoyu's view, Pang Tong is better at doing grassroots work, and more importantly, if Pang Tong enters the upper echelons, according to the development of history, he will inevitably fall at a young age and fall in Luofengpo.

Of course, Wang Baoyu didn't tell Ma Liang about the fall of Pang Tong, and he couldn't leak the heavenly secrets lightly. He only said that Pang Tong was not suitable for managing the whole county, and at the same time, he also wanted to sharpen the edges and corners of this person, which would also be conducive to his long-term development in the future.

In the end, Wang Baoyu not only asked Ma Liang not to tell the upper echelons that Pang Tong was working here, but also solemnly instructed one thing, although all places are recruiting talents, but the situation in Yiling is different, no one will accept it, Pang Tong is the last, with you and Pang Tong, it is enough.

Ma Liang felt that Wang Baoyu still had a good relationship with him, so he was naturally very grateful, and said that he would not insult him too much.

As soon as the arrangements were made, Wang Baoyu rode alone to Nanjun, according to Zhuge Liang's opinion, it was necessary for him to meet Liu Bei before leaving.

Because he was not notified in advance, Liu Bei did not personally go out of the city to pick him up, but when he appeared at the Nanjun Mansion, Liu Bei immediately cried when he saw Wang Baoyu, and he cried very loudly, and ran over to give Wang Baoyu a bear hug.

"Big brother, why are you crying again?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"I thought that the fourth brother had forgotten the eldest brother, and I cried with joy when I saw the fourth brother again today." Liu Bei wiped his tears and said.

This trick was no longer good for Wang Baoyu, but on the surface, he still pretended to be moved and said: "Big brother, let's knock down our heads, that is, brothers for life." Last time, I was too impulsive, and I couldn't pull my face to visit my eldest brother, and I asked my eldest brother for forgiveness. But then again, even if you are really brothers, isn't there a time for quarrels! ”

"The matter of the county lord, I don't blame the fourth brother, it's the brother's fault, I care too much about the safety of Nanjun, and I live up to the brotherly relationship between you and me." Liu Bei also reviewed, but no matter when, he would not admit that marrying Sun Shangxiang was coveting his beauty.

Wang Baoyu also symbolically rubbed his eyes, pretending to be moved to tears, and then handed over a gift, which was still from Da Qiao's handwriting, a woodcarved painting, called Jiangshan Wanlitu.

"Big brother, the gift from my brother is not valuable, it can be regarded as a blessing. I hope that the eldest brother can dominate the world, save the people of Li from fire and water, and achieve great things. "This kind of hypocrisy, Wang Baoyu came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't have to think about it at all.

Liu Bei grinned, accepted it happily, and then ordered the banquet to be set up, and did not invite the ministers, but the two brothers drank and talked together.

Of course, Wang Baoyu didn't come to catch up with Liu Bei, after three rounds of drinking, Wang Baoyu solemnly said: "Big brother, I came to you this time to bid farewell to you, and I want to go north." ”

Liu Bei's expression was stunned, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the wine glass fell to the ground, this is not pretending, when he was good with Wang Baoyu, he was not worried about Wang Baoyu going north to join Cao. However, the current situation is different, if Wang Baoyu takes refuge in Cao Cao, it will become a big trouble for him.

Wang Baoyu stepped forward quickly, helped Liu Bei pick up the wine glass, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you don't have to be nervous, I just went north to do business, and I will never take refuge in Cao Cao." I don't swear anymore, because the oath is useless, and every one is based on a conscience. ”

Liu Bei's face softened slightly, and he sighed: "But I didn't expect the fourth brother to leave so quickly, and the eldest brother was not prepared." ”

"Hehe, it's not like I'm not coming back, the affairs of Yiling County can't be abandoned for a day, so let Ma Liang serve as the Taishou first!" Wang Baoyu said.

Liu Bei was more at ease with Ma Liang's character, and nodded happily: "According to what the virtuous brother said, let Ma Liang temporarily serve as the Taishou of Yiling, and wait until the virtuous brother returns, it is still the territory of the virtuous brother." ”

"This is the eldest brother's territory, I'm just messing with the eldest brother." Wang Baoyu waved his hand.

"You and my brother don't need to be born, have you prepared anything for the road?" Liu Bei asked.

"Big brother, don't worry, it's been prepared, the place I went to this time is a barren land in the Northeast. If you meet a baby, you will definitely come to dedicate your eldest brother. Wang Baoyu said.

Wang Baoyu emphasized this place in the northeast to give Liu Bei another reassurance. Sure enough, Liu Bei's face showed a relieved expression, but he still asked with tears in his eyes: "I heard that the weather is freezing there, covered with snow all year round, and the sun is not visible, I really don't feel at ease." ”

"Hehe, I've lived for more than 30 years, and I've long been used to it!" Wang Baoyu said casually.

"Huh?"

"I mean, even if you stay there until you are thirty years old, if you can find out the route, you can make some contributions to the big brother's expansion of territory in the future." Wang Baoyu was serious and nonsense, because Liu Bei's territory could not reach the northeast at all, and the three overlords were not very interested in the barren land.

Liu Bei was moved to death, raised his glass and said: "I wish the fourth brother a smooth journey, see you in the future, say goodbye again, and talk about wine." ”

"Thank you, big brother."

"Send more followers to protect the left and right, and the fourth brother must not have any mistakes."

"Fan Jinqiang alone is enough."

Removed Liu Bei's vigilance, Wang Baoyu hesitated again and again, but still did not mention Guan Ting's matter, for fear that Liu Bei would be suspicious again. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, he went to find Zhang Fei again, the relationship between the two brothers was good, so they left like this, and they couldn't help but say hello.
