My father Liu Xuande

Chapter 87 Xu Sheng's Choice
Such things were so common that they were even considered a beautiful story by scholars.

A ruler who governs by doing nothing, with scholars in charge of administration and affairs—isn't this the kind of world that the gentry have always dreamed of?
Mi Zhu, by nature, disliked wielding power and was quite low-key. Therefore, he had no specific responsibilities in the state and was rather leisurely, only coming to the state government to report for duty each day.

It's time to give Mi Zhu more responsibilities; Xuzhou doesn't tolerate idlers.

Of the other half of the funds, Liu Fengxian took out half and invested it in Hua Tuo's hospital and Liu Erying.

In addition to training children's physical fitness, exercises, obedience, and literacy, Liu'er Camp now undertakes some experimental projects. The expenses for these experiments are also included in Liu'er Camp's budget.

Therefore, Liu'er Camp's expenses are very high, and even though the state government is supplying food, it is difficult to replenish its finances.

This time, we'll allocate one million yuan to save ourselves from running out of money later.

The last million was lost by Liu Feng.

He has successfully obtained Liu Bei's consent to go and take charge of the military farms in Xiangben County, and at the same time, he is also responsible for integrating the thousand troops assigned to him.

Although food supplies are sufficient, unexpected expenses are difficult to predict at present.

Therefore, only with sufficient financial reserves can this problem be solved.

A million dollars should be more than enough.

When this request was first made, Liu Bei refused to agree.

With the treasury so tight right now, this brat actually asked for a million coins. Liu Bei will have to pay off his debts with 1.1 million next year, so naturally he's not happy.

But then I thought about how much my dear son had sacrificed for me; the phrase "putting my heart and soul into it" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

They even took out rock sugar and salt without hesitation.

In the end, Big Ears Brother softened his heart and approved the one million yuan in funding.

During the meeting, everyone received their assigned tasks.

At the very end of the meeting, Liu Bei, on Liu Feng's advice, proposed a financial reform.

This reform is very minor, consisting of only one change, and it is a parallel system.

From now on, there will be an additional basic unit of one thousand coins, called the Guan system.

From now on, every thousand coins can be counted as one string.

A gold ingot is worth ten thousand coins, or ten strings of cash.

This makes memorizing and writing numbers much more convenient.

Liu Feng's small test was unanimously approved.

Most people thought the small change was pretty good, so no one objected.

After the meeting, everyone took their orders and got busy.

As usual, Liu Feng went to the backyard to greet his grandmother and Madam Wu.

The two women kept him in the courtyard for lunch before letting him go.

Afterwards, Liu Feng summoned Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng to go to the drill ground to lead the troops.

At this time, Xu Sheng had already taken the initiative to request Liu Bei to assign him to the direct command of the young lord.

This surprised Liu Bei. He knew that when he had arranged for Xu Sheng to accompany Liu Feng to Langya Kaiyang, Xu Sheng had agreed but hoped to return to Liu Bei's command after their trip.

After all, it was Liu Bei who recruited him. Although Liu Feng's performance that night was extremely impressive and earned Xu Sheng's admiration.

But the young master is still the young master. The current ruler of Xuzhou is still Liu Bei, the governor of Xuzhou who recruited him.

If you can follow the eldest brother, why would you insist on following the second brother?
Not to mention Liu Feng isn't even the second-in-command; at best, he's a promising talent.

As a result, Xu Sheng successfully hit his own boomerang.

After returning from Kaiyang, he found himself wanting to associate with promising individuals.

During the trip to Kaiyang, Pan Zhang fared well. Firstly, he was rough and didn't like to think, and secondly, he was already used to Liu Feng's various amazing performances.

But Xu Sheng is different; he's a newcomer.

I was almost speechless at Liu Feng's performance along the way.

This doesn't look like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy at all; he exudes the air of a renowned scholar.

Xu Sheng did not know Liu Feng's real age; he only assumed that Liu Feng was thirteen or fourteen years old based on his appearance.

In particular, when Zang Ba set a trap and Sun Yu came in the middle of the night, Liu Feng actually saw through the other party's trick on the spot. He directly used a dragging knife technique, which completely dispelled Zang Ba's doubts and made Xu Sheng amazed.

So, after leaving Kaiyang and returning to Tancheng, Xu Sheng didn't mention returning to Liu Bei at all. Instead, he led his relatives, who had come to Tancheng with the local officials recruiting officials, to continue serving Liu Feng.

At first, some of his relatives were puzzled and didn't understand why Xu Sheng would follow a young boy.

It was clearly the governor who recruited our lord, how can he bully people like this?
As a result, Xu Sheng beat the man up and told him to go home.

The reason he was beaten was because this person talked too fast and lost his temper in front of Liu Feng, which prevented Xu Sheng from stopping him.

Afterwards, Liu Feng generously said it was nothing, and even held Xu Sheng's hand and said sincerely, "Wenxiang, I have long heard of your reputation for loyalty, righteousness and bravery, so I strongly recommended you to my father. Fortunately, you accepted the invitation and came, which is a great help to my father and me."

"After seeing you the other day, I realized that the rumors are true. Wenxiang will surely be of great use in the future. Whether Wenxiang wants to follow my father to make achievements or he is willing to teach me, this will not change. Therefore, I will support you in whatever you choose to do, and you don't need to worry about gossip."

Liu Feng's words deeply moved Xu Sheng, but also made him feel ashamed of the nonsense spouted by his clansmen, so he could only kneel down and apologize.

Liu Feng was unwilling to accept such a grand gesture, and quickly called Pan Zhang, who was standing nearby, to help pull Xu Sheng up.

Liu Feng's strength has grown stronger day by day, and he is no less than an ordinary strong man.

But who exactly is Xu Sheng?
How can an ordinary strong man compare to this?

When Xu Sheng was truly determined to pay his respects, Liu Feng couldn't stop him and had no choice but to ask Pan Zhang for help.

Pan Zhang chuckled and stepped forward to put his arm around Xu Sheng: "Wenxiang, I think you're a real man, a fine young man. Why be so servile? My young master doesn't like these things. In my opinion, what the young master likes is your fiery spirit. Why act like a girl?"

Liu Feng nodded repeatedly and, with Pan Zhang's help, managed to pull Xu Sheng up.

“Since Wenxiang is willing to stay by my side, I am naturally very happy. Fortunately, my father just promised to give me a thousand troops, which Wenxiang and Wengui can share.”

Xu Sheng was moved to tears and secretly resolved to serve Liu Bei and his son wholeheartedly and loyally.

Both Liu Bei and his son are exceptional individuals. What merit do I possess to be chosen by Liu Bei? Heaven truly has eyes!

Liu Feng, accompanied by Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang, arrived at the training ground. At this moment, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu had already selected their 1,500 followers, while the remaining 1,000 belonged to Liu Feng, leaving him with no choice.

Having transmigrated to a chaotic, catastrophic world filled with all sorts of bizarre objects, Qiu Tu discovers that he has ended up sleeping with the mistress of a powerful figure.
