    As the saying goes: For the superior people, traveling is like returning home, because there are houses everywhere, with piles of wives and concubines, boxes of gold and silver, and groups of mules and horses.

    Traveling for a middle-class person is like moving. Every time he goes to a place, he must buy a new house, take his wife and concubines with him, take his gold and silver with him, and take his mules and horses with him.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTOUT

    Nie Peng did not live well and belonged to the lower class. According to the Han family system: the county magistrate received fifty dendrobes of corn per month, which is six hundred dendrobes a year.  In addition to expenses, he also had to support many poor relatives, so there was not much left.

    As a result, after serving as a county magistrate for more than two years, I only have an ordinary house, a good wife from a poor family, more than ten acres of barren mountain fields, and more than fifty mulberry trees. I have no other wealth, and my life has been tight!

    This time he was ordered to come to Jiangzhou. Nie Peng didn't have a car or a horse to ride on. He only had an old donkey, two rustic servants, and a few changes of clothes. He even brought his own dry food. Big-eyed  Wo Wo Tou, served with home-pickled pickles!

    With such a miserable living standard, it was natural that he could not afford to buy a house, or even live in a high-end inn, so he had to rent an ordinary house outside Jiangzhou City for 800 yuan per month as a place to stay.

    This still takes into account the decent of officials, and then I bite the back of the fangs. Otherwise, with the simple habit of Nie Peng, I can squeeze the poor people's cave with the ordinary people. I used to swim in all parts of Yizhou. This kind of thing has not been done!

    "Brothers, thank you for your suffering. Have a safe journey. I'm sorry to have to send you off so far!"

    "Nie Yi, Nie Er, listen up. Open the door, tidy up the courtyard, and make some tea. Guests will be coming soon!"

    "No!"

    After returning to their residence, the soldiers said goodbye and left. There was nothing they could do if they didn't leave. The small private house only had four thatched houses, which could not accommodate so many people. However, after they returned, their reputation for honesty and simplicity continued.  It will definitely reach Liu Bei's ears.

    And with Liu Bei's method of winning over people's hearts, he will soon give away mansions, carriages, horses, servants and maybe even come to congratulate him on his new move!

    Next, Nie Peng led his two followers and began to clean the courtyard, set up a pot to boil water, and sadly dug out a few spoons of wild boar oil, lit two lanterns, and hung them at the gate, otherwise it would be pitch dark and the guests would not be able to find them.  What should I do when I get there?

    After everything was tidied up, two attendants stood guard at the door, waiting for the arrival of the guests. Nie Peng returned to the dormitory. After a simple wash, he found a few corn noodles and started to eat them!

    At the banquet just now, I was busy answering Liu Bei's various questions and paying attention to etiquette. I only drank a few glasses of water and wine, and my stomach was very empty, so I had to come back for more food.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Steamed pork with rice flour, beggar's chicken, squirrel fishand Sixi meatballs, when can we eat them again?"

    As he nibbled on the hard steamed buns, what Nie Peng was thinking about was the delicacies in Zhengming University. Three meals a day were enough to keep him satisfied. Students who studied by themselves at night also had extra meals for which they didn¡¯t have to spend a penny.  You can eat as much as you want!

    However, waste is strictly prohibited, and violators will be severely punished. I remember that Cao Biao, the 14th son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was whipped ten times in public because he poured out less than half a bowl of leftover rice. He wrote a self-criticism of tens of thousands of words and had three brushes in the back kitchen.  Months worth of dishes.

    When we eat again in the future, this guy will even lick the bottom of the bowl clean and never dare to waste food again. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate has to be worked hard? This is one of the school mottos!

    I really miss those days. Whether they were the sons of princes, generals, ministers or poor people, everyone ate the same food, lived in the same houses, and followed the same rules Whoever had good academic performance would be respected by everyone.  Respect, I don¡¯t care about the rest!

    After graduating, students can choose their own careers. They can make money by doing business, or join the army. Although they are not as good as those from the noble family in terms of political resources, as long as they work hard and make meritorious deeds, they will definitely be promoted.

    Look at the Bashu region again. Official positions, wealth, land are all occupied by noble families. Children from poor families have almost no chance to succeed. In terms of character, talent and learning, I am ten times better than those officials in Chengdu, but I only have a small education.  The little county magistrate has no hope of promotion yet!

    ¡° Some of my brothers and sisters who stayed in the Central Plains and were from the same sect became governors, some became ministers, and some became generals. They galloped on the battlefield and made achievements. They were so happy and free.

    likeIn order to please the new master, the noble officials prepared generous gifts and waited in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion, ready to flatter the new master. However, several days passed and no one was received alone!

    On the contrary, Nie Peng, who was born in a poor family, was not only received by Liu Bei and sat down to drink with a sand table model, but was also given the important task of assisting in handling the affairs of Ba County. Everyone could clearly see the scenery when he went out!

    Since he couldn't hug Liu Bei's lap, it would be good to hug Nie Peng's thigh. Therefore, the noble officials discussed and sent a few representatives to find Nie Peng's residence. It was a shame for nobles to make friends with children from poor families in Bashu.  That's why I came after dark!

    They are not really making friends, but they want to use Nie Peng as a channel to test Liu Bei's tone. How are they going to use to become the new lord of Bashu, gentle means, or force means?

    After Liu Bei became the Lord of Bashu, how did he treat the nobles? Should he reuse them and divide more interests, or should he suppress them and promote the poorer ones instead?

    These must be understood clearly so that the noble officials can decide whether to support Liu Bei in taking over Chengdu, continue to defend Liu Zhang to the death, or test Cao Ying's attitude?

    In a word, they will sell Bashu to whomever gives them more benefits!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
