Chapter 33: Being an official earns a lot! The second soul ring can bear years!

In Xue Qinghe's opinion, Jia Xu's strategy was indeed very profitable. The only bad thing about it was that it did not take human life seriously.

To put it bluntly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they take human life lightly.

This sounded a bit harsh to Liu Bei, who always maintained an image of loving the people.

Zhuge Liang felt a little threatened.

As smart people, the difference between them is often their mentality, and in addition to mentality, there is also the bottom line.

To put it bluntly, a person who will do anything to achieve his goal is always more terrifying than a person who is hesitant.

Although Jia Xu cannot be said to have no bottom line, his bottom line is indeed lower than Zhuge Liang's.

As one of the three most toxic men in the Three Kingdoms, he still has some value after all.

"Your Highness, Jia Xu's plan is too cruel and will easily discourage the people below." Liu Bei couldn't help but speak up to advise.

Jia Xu had no reaction to this and just kept his head down.

If His Highness asks me to speak, then I will speak. As for whether their opinions are adopted or not, or what others think of me, it is none of my business.
Jia Xu lived a very transparent life.

"Xuan De is right. If this matter is not done cleanly, it will cause great trouble. Let's discuss it later!"

Xue Qinghe thought for a long time and then said.

Jia Xu lowered his head, his eyeballs moved left and right in his eye sockets, and after thinking for a moment, he stepped back.

After leaving the hall, Jia Xu called the people from the School Affairs Office.

"Give the order and have the school affairs office start operations immediately to plot a conflict between the Taiping Daoism and the Tiandou Empire's army."

The schoolmaster was a little confused when he heard this: "Sir, didn't His Highness say that we can discuss this later?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness has actually agreed. What Your Highness said is that if it is not done cleanly, there will be big trouble, so we will discuss it later. In other words, as long as it is done cleanly, there will be no problem."

After Jia Xu left.

in the hall.

Xue Qinghe continued to arrange the whereabouts of the newly summoned civil and military officials of the Three Kingdoms.

Looking at Cao Cao, Xue Qinghe asked, "What are Meng De's plans for the future?"

The founder of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period was a versatile person. Even Xue Qinghe had not figured out how to arrange for Cao Cao, so he asked him first.

As a human being, it is only when you do what you like and are passionate about that you can easily achieve something, otherwise you will just be wasting your time.

Cao Cao bowed to Xue Qinghe, and after a moment's silence, he seemed to have thought about it, and then said, "Your Highness, I have been in the army for half my life, and I am already tired of military life. Now I am summoned by Your Highness. If possible, I am willing to be a rich man."

Among the three big bosses of the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu and Wu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei all had military experience. They fought almost all year round. Only Sun Quan had few military achievements. He finally led an expedition himself and created the reputation of Sun Shiwan.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe could understand what Cao Cao said, and since their loyalty was there, Xue Qinghe did not need to doubt whether what these people said was true.

Liu Bei also spoke up at this time: "I never thought Meng De would have such an idea! It just so happens that Zi Zhong (Mi Zhu) and I have a chamber of commerce under our banner. Meng De can join us. From now on, Meng De will be the third in command of the chamber of commerce!"

Xing Daorong was stunned. When Cao Cao came to the Chamber of Commerce, he was the third in command. Then what was he?
Cao Cao smiled and said, "I appreciate Xuande's kindness, but I don't want to manage the Chamber of Commerce. I want to become an official."

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Didn't Meng De want to be a rich man? Then wasn't it a mistake for you to choose to be an official?"

Cao Cao smiled meaningfully and shook his head: "Xuan De, I did not make the wrong choice. Being an official... you can earn more!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Mi Zhu: “…”

Everyone: "..." Xu Chu: "What Cao Gong said must be true!"

After coming back to his senses, Liu Bei also smiled and said, "I never thought Meng De would have such... insight. I am grateful for your advice!"

"If Meng De has time, you and I can have dinner together tonight!"

Cao Cao agreed directly: "That's great. It's been decades since Xuande and I last sat at the same table. Let's continue drinking and talking about heroes this time! If you ask the heroes in the world, there are only your highness and the two of us, Cao and Liu!"

No one from Cao Wei and Shu Han was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words. After all, these people were talking to the founders of the former Cao Wei and Shu Han.

Even people as arrogant as Xu Chu and Guan Yu had no objection. Xu Chu was loyal to Cao Cao and Guan Yu admired Liu Bei, so they naturally had no objection. As for Your Highness, that goes without saying.

Only the civil and military officials and other forces of the Han Dynasty were quite disdainful of it.

Yuan Shu snorted, "A eunuch's descendant, a shoemaker and a shoe seller, dares to call himself a hero? Get out!"

But no one obeyed.

Zhou Yu was disdainful and dissatisfied.

Liu Bei laughed loudly and immediately took Cao Cao's hand: "Let's do as Meng De said and talk about heroes over a cup of wine! If you can't express everything in your heart, then you and I can sleep on the same bed and continue to talk about the world."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes twitched and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing Cao Cao's embarrassment, Liu Bei asked nonchalantly, "Meng De, do you not want to sleep on the same bed with me? Just say it, it's okay! After all, I have not slept with Your Highness until now."

Cao Cao looked apologetic and said, "Xuan De, it's not that I don't want to sleep on the same bed with you to discuss the world, but I have bad habits when sleeping at night, and I'm afraid to wake you up."

"Does Meng De often get up at night?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

But Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No, no."

"What bad habits does Meng De have? You can tell me, it's no problem!"

Cao Cao looked embarrassed and finally said:
"I love killing people in my dreams!"

Liu Bei: "..."

In the end, Cao Cao chose to serve as an official in the Tiandou Empire.

As for the others, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao would definitely stay by their side to serve them.

As for Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, there was no better arrangement for the time being, so they were also kept in Xue Qinghe's mansion to serve.

Yuan Shu...

Xue Qinghe was afraid that he might offend someone, so he did not send him out, but kept him in the mansion.

"Now that everything has been settled, everyone should just do their respective duties!" After arranging everything, Xue Qinghe dismissed all the civil and military officials.

In the end, only Hua Tuo was left: "Divine Doctor Hua, stay."

After all the civil and military officials left, only Xue Qinghe, Hua Tuo, Guan Yu and Xu Chu were left in the hall.

Hua Tuo then asked Xue Qinghe: "Your Highness, please leave me here. I wonder if you have any instructions for me."

Xue Qinghe rolled up his sleeves and held out his wrist: "Divine Doctor Hua also knows that my soul power level has reached level 20, so I would like to ask Divine Doctor Hua to take my pulse and see how many years of soul beast I can choose for this second soul ring based on my current physical endurance."

Upon hearing this, Hua Tuo nodded, then came to Xue Qinghe's side and put his hand on Xue Qinghe's wrist.

After a while, Hua Tuo finished taking the pulse and said to Xue Qinghe: "Your Highness, your body has been tempered by the immortal grass and soul bones, and your ability to withstand has been greatly improved. If it is correct, your second soul ring can withstand a limit of... 14,000 years!"
