[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

Chapter 24

24 – My dream is to play and eat (3)

Autumn has come.

Just as something big happened in Yangyang, things that could be reported urgently by messengers also broke out in other places.

Hebei.

Yuan Shao has completely taken over Giju.

Yuan Shao, who took Giju through a ruse against Gijumok Hanbok, solidified his power using ‘Eop’ as a base, and in the process betrayed Gongsun Chan, who had agreed to join him.

Gongsun Zan was angry at this and sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue as an envoy to demand that half of Giju be ceded, but it is said that he was killed by Dong Zhuo’s subordinate on the way back.

Gongsun Zan was furious at this and went on a rampage, threatening to kill Yuan Shao.

‘Dong Zhuo’s men are in Hebei? It can’t be possible.’

If you do something bad, it’s Dongtak.

Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Yue in the name of Dong Zhuo. Naturally, the people thought that Yuan Shao was not the kind of person who would do such a bad thing, so they cursed Dong Zhuo, and the people of Hebei, even though they knew it, went around hissing that Dong Zhongying was a bastard.

Hebei was currently in the midst of a war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan over the hegemony of Hebei.

If the hegemony of Hebei were to come down the Yellow River with a powerful army, the Central Plain would be devastated in an instant.

So what is the current situation in the midfield?

– Currently, in Heuksan (黑山), a man named Jang Yeon has gathered a group of thieves and is daring to wage war against Guan. Because their scale was unusual, I suggested to my lord that we build defenses against them. Fortunately, my lord actively accepted my proposal.

After the Yellow Turban War, bandits did not disappear.

When a large bandit named Dong Zhuo trampled on the imperial family, the bandits who had disintegrated after the Yellow Turban Rebellion came together again to form a large group of thieves.

How did I hear about them? I heard it from Sunwook.

After sending off Shun Yu, she was commissioned by Cao Cao in Jinliu, and she occasionally sent letters to me, asking for wisdom.

I wondered if this might be a military secret, but Sunwook was not the kind of person who would easily leak something like that, so I responded by writing down my thoughts without any hesitation.

-If you answer Sun-wook, it will help Jo Maeng-deok, right? I want to write it down too.

Naturally, Sun-yu had a crush on Jo-jo, so we sent the thoughts of both of them together to Sun-wook.

When Sunuk talked about his movements, I was able to get a rough idea of the situation in Central Plains and Hebei through this.

The uprising of the Black Bandits was one of them.

– The Donggun Governor was killed by the Black Bandits. Even the remnants of the Yellow Turban Red Army began to run amok. Jebuksang’s gun barrel and player Judaeo were also killed or died. The lord has been recommended by Yuan Shao to the position of Yeongyeonmu and is devoting himself to eradicating the Yellow Turban Red Army.

Cao Cao, who suffered a crushing blow after the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition, somehow seemed to survive well. If Jojo had stayed in his hometown drunk because of his failure, Sunwook would have come back to the academy and asked for my advice.

However, I only communicate with her through letters. I thought that if I went to see her someday, or if she came down, I would be able to greet her warmly.

anyway.

There is a cause for all of this.

The collapse of the anti-Dongtak coalition.

Following the collapse of the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance, which was the decisive blow when Sun Jian went to Yuan Shu with the royal seal, military leaders from various regions began to reveal their ambitions and use military power to become the ‘kings’ of their regions.

Sun Jian is not particularly the culprit.

Even if it were not for Sun Jian, the union would have collapsed someday.

Thus, the world truly entered into a difficult time.

Now, the era of military conflict.

Today, I am harvesting grains in the rice fields of Sugyeong Academy with Sima Yi in peaceful Jingzhou.

* * *

“It’s a good harvest!”

I was filled with satisfaction as the warehouse was full of grain. Basically, it is said that the human heart comes from the treasury, and when the treasury is full, the heart is also abundant.

“Master, are you happy?”

“Yes. I’m happy. I don’t know how long it’s been since the storehouse was full like this.”

“If you’re happy, Master, I’m happy too.”

Sima Yi, who worked with me in the fields and now the rice paddies, has now grown to the point where it can be considered a full-fledged adult.

After all, it was a period of growth.

Sima Yiyi, who is growing rapidly every year, has now become a fully-fledged adult in body, mind, and spirit. Except age.

“Wow. This is the first time the academy’s treasury has been this abundant. Although half of this is said to be grain donated from outside, where is it?”

“Gold is easier to use than grain, but it’s a shame.”

“But where is it? We can eat the rice they donated, and we can sell the rice we collect and use it to buy books.”

“Master, that is….”

“Change of sacks is not allowed.”

I prevented Sima Yi’s trick in advance.

“People are not in need, but they cannot abandon humanity and righteousness.”

“You seem to be much more relaxed than before. Is it because you are related by blood to the Chae family?”

“There’s that too. Maybe it’s because of my close relationship with Jujasa, but I also became a well-known person in Jingju. hahahaha.”

At best, they are only the adopted sons of Yoo Pyo’s second wife and Lady Chae’s older sister’s husband. If you know, you know, if it’s far away, it’s a distant relationship, but if the bridge is this much, it’s good enough.

“Yes. According to the rumors, some people say that I am a descendant of King Jungsanjeong. Compared to that, I am in good shape.”

“Isn’t that person a person with many sons?”

“That’s right. Still, isn’t it important that the blood of an imperial family flows? Do you know? In the future, when the current emperor dies and the next emperor dies, I wonder if he will ascend to the throne when I search for him. You may not know what happens in the world. You may know it, but you will never know. “I was able to build a large manor in the land of Shinya like this. hehehe.”

“Master…”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and looked up at me.

“You hated that Sun Jian made Master’s land worth half the price.”

“It did.”

“But at that time, the surrounding land… ugh!”

I quickly covered Sima Yi’s mouth. I don’t know anything else, but that story shouldn’t be shared carelessly.

“Be quiet. You can’t speak carelessly anywhere.”

“…Is it true that we shouldn’t talk about the land more than we talk about the emperor’s death?”

“Of course. The Han imperial family may be famous or insignificant, but the land remains the same.”

“All the land belongs to the Han emperor.”

“Really? I’m sorry, but I have the right to use the land now. I have the land document, so if you want to go get the land, I tell you to put a seal on the school paper and come. hehehe.”

I pulled Sima Yi’s shoulder and brought my face closer.

“Ui-ya. You have a little bit of land too. So just pretend not to know about this. Okay?”

“…I have my share too?”

“Then. Aren’t you my favorite disciple?”

“Master disciple….”

Fortunately, Sima Yi did not stumble and fall any further. Fortunately, I succeeded in using this to take advantage of the Hyeongju uprising and cover up the corruption that was not the corruption I had committed at the time.

‘Honestly, it’s not corruption.’

There was a place where the land price suddenly dropped by half, so I just found a property that came up for sale and received it at a reasonable price.

At the very least, I paid more than enough to live off of it even if I went somewhere else, and I bought it at a ‘conscientious price’, so there won’t be any animosity.

Moreover, since I made the transaction while hiding my identity, no one knows that I own the lands except for my other pseudonym written on the land documents.

There was also a safety device in place…

“Master. I heard that people from the Chae family have been coming to the land nearby for some time. They say this land is the land of the Chae family.”

“Hmm.”

“They said that those who had run away when they heard that Sun Jian was coming came back to look for the land. However, they were very surprised to see that there were people from the Chae family on the land. When they tried to get the land back, they said that there was a land document that they had sold, so how upset must they be? ?”

“That’s right. That’s why I shouldn’t have sold the land and run away.”

“So, even if you run away, you should have climbed to the top of the mountain so that you can see the situation and come back. Right? Since you can’t manage the land yourself, you hand over part of it to a renter and leave it all to management.”

“…Ui. Listen carefully.”

I pointed to a quarter of the storehouse that was full from top to bottom.

“These are the crops from your land and mine.”

“…My and Master’s land? Not this one?”

“Those are the crops you and I farmed and harvested.”

“…Aha. I see. It’s my and Master’s land. hehehehe.”

Sima Yi covered his mouth with his hand and laughed.

“Okay, I’ll stop joking.”

“phew.”

Sima Yi was a very conversant child. Moreover, my brain was now so intelligent that there were times when I felt like I was having a conversation with an adult.

“Sometimes, you treat teachers Su-kyung and Sun-yu with courtesy, but you also treat me this way.”

“It’s because I like it, because I like it.”

“Then what about the other two?”

“What are they… hehehe.”

Sima Yi just laughed. I ruffled her hair as if stroking it once and then came out.

“The weather is really nice. Today is the perfect day to make noodles. I could go to the store and buy some pork, then boil it and use it as cold meat…huh?”

Sigh.

The front door of the academy opened.

Today is a day off at school and no one is coming-

Slurp.

“Uh, uh…?”

A person fell down. The person wearing the worn-out long clothes fell forward as soon as the school door opened, and I ran to help him up.

“It’s okay…sigh.”

Munchul.

The thing I was holding to support me felt strange. I got goosebumps from the familiar yet unexpected texture in my hand.

“Uh, really…?”

“…….”

She, no, she glared at me and radiated murderous intent. Those eyes made me feel like all the blood was draining from my body.
