Gongsun Zan is really a good girl
Behind the barracks is a row of wooden bungalows, and beyond the bungalows can be seen a tall central military temple.
Guan Jing went in to report, and then came out to greet Sun Yu and Zhao Yun into the hall. Inside the hall, a huge tiger skin chair was placed, on which sat a majestic female general. Her figure was very tall and slender, with a delicate iron armor covering her body, a white cloak trailing behind her back, giving off an aura of majesty. Her facial features were refined, not as intimidating as her demeanor, although she couldn't be considered a stunning beauty, but still had a first-class appearance. This person was none other than Gongsun Zan.
Guan Jing bowed to the woman and said, "Master, the man behind me is Sun Yu Sun Xun Zhen, and the little girl behind him is called Zhao Yun." Then she introduced Sun Yu and Zhao Yun separately.
Gongsun Zan's hands rested on the back of the chair, his phoenix eyes scanning downwards: "This Seeking Truth Mr., you are the first man that this commander has seen who can use martial general techniques. How interesting! Unfortunately, your martial general technique is only the lowest level green martial general technique, and its purpose is just for carrying books. Alas, in the end you can only be a civil official..."
Guan Jing broke out in a cold sweat as she listened, knowing that her master was proud and arrogant, looking down on ordinary men. Now that she was already 20 years old, she still hadn't married. She had wanted to find a majestic man to marry, but... the Han state only had female generals, no male generals, and Gong Sun Zan didn't think any man was worthy of her.
But as the years went by, he had to get married after all! It was hard to find a man who could use martial arts skills, but in the end, it was just the lowest-level civil servant skill, which really disappointed Gongsun Zan.
Sun Yu had heard Guan Jing and Gong Sun Zan mention the level of martial arts several times, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, I come from a remote mountain and don't know much about the world. Can you tell me what kind of moves are there in martial arts?"
Guan Jing took over and introduced: "The martial arts are divided into five types..." After listening to him for half a day, Sun Yu finally understood.
The lowest level is the green martial skill, which can only be used to handle literary affairs. For example, Guan Jing's 'Talent Search', Sun Yu's 'Quick Memory'.
Mid-level is red martial arts, can be used for charging and breaking through the enemy's formation, such as Yan Geng's 'Gun General' and Tian Yu's 'Broken Enemy'.
The high-level one is the blue-colored Wu Jiang technique, and among the Gong Sun family, only Gong Sun Zan's "White Horse" has it. In Nanpi, Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang Wen Chou also has this blue-colored high-level Wu Jiang technique...
The top is the golden martial art, this level of martial art even Yuan Shao's subordinates do not have anyone who can master it. It is said that Sun Jian in the south has a daughter named Sun Ce, her martial art is golden, but Guan Jing has not seen it with his own eyes yet. Also, it is said that there is a famous female general in Changsha named Huang Zhong, her martial art is also golden, but few people have seen it.
Above the top, there is said to be a dark golden super martial art... this... it is said that in this world, no one has been found to use.
After introducing Guan Jing, she sighed: "The master is proud and arrogant, and is also a high-ranking blue general. Ordinary men can't enter his eyes, and it's unknown whether he will get married in this life."
Sun Yu quickly memorized these things in his mind, thinking: So that's how it is. It seems that the martial arts strength of this world has a lot in common with the Three Kingdoms I know, except that the gender of all characters has changed. The strength of the characters can be roughly compared to that of the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Jing said that the "superior martial arts technique that no one in the world has discovered" would likely fall into Lü Bu's hands.
But talking to women is really troublesome, I came to see Gong Sunzhan for a bowl of rice to eat, the main event has not started yet, you've already pulled it to the master's marriage, it's really illogical. He made a fist at Gong Sunzhan in the hall and said: "Master, I'm not talented, I only have a useless green martial arts skill, I want to ask for a civilian position under the master, just having something to eat is enough."
Gongsun Zan stared at him for a long time, and a look of confusion flashed in Danfeng's eyes. She thought: "This man is the only one who can match my martial arts skills, and he doesn't look bad either. He's also very young. If I really can't find anyone to marry, the Gongsun family must continue, so I'll have to take him in as a son-in-law... Alas, how sad... Why is there no man in this world who has power equal to mine?"
She waved her hand and said: "Mr. Xun Zhen, I'll appoint you as the county clerk of Zhuo County. If you do well, you can be promoted in the future."
"What's going on? What is it? NM01, hurry up and check." Sun Yu said softly.
NM01 replied in an instant: "Lingshi is a civil officer under the county magistrate, responsible for managing documents and archives."
So that's how it is, Guan Wen Shu's document handling skills are indeed suitable for this position. Gong Sun Zan is quite good at using people. Sun Yu made a fist and bowed to Gong Sun Zan: "Thank you, sir."
Now that the work problem has been solved and I have food to eat, I can slowly explore the truth of this world. Sun Yu was overjoyed in his heart, but he had always been calm and composed, so although he was delighted, he didn't show it on his face, and walked out of the grand hall with a steady pace.
This man is actually not bad, neither arrogant nor humble, calm and composed, although his martial skills are relatively poor... Gong Sun Zan had just thought of this when he suddenly saw Sun Yu walk back again, facing her with a bitter smile: "Master, may I ask how much salary does your historian get? And... can you advance one month's salary? You see, my servant and I are about to starve to death in these plant clothes."
Gongsun Zan smiled wryly, raised her phoenix eyes, wanting to get angry, but instead spoke in a softer tone than ever before: "The advance salary has never happened, I can't make an exception for you. However... seeing that you're really down on your luck, I'll reward you separately... the annual salary of the commander is 100 stones of millet, and I'll give you 10 stones."
NM01's voice echoed in Sun Yu's mind: "One dan of rice is approximately equal to 180 catties, and ten dan of rice is about 1800 catties. The price of grain during the Eastern Han period was roughly one dan for 200 coins. Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has broken out, theoretically the price of grain should rise, so one dan should be between 200 to 300 coins. Calculating this, the price of ten dan of rice is approximately equal to 2000 to 3000 wen coins."
Sweat, it's really little! Sun Yu shook his head gloomily, thinking that with this little money, he would have to drink the northwest wind. This official position called "Ling Shi" was too unreliable. If he wanted to make some money and then go around the world to find the truth about crossing over, this amount of money was clearly not enough. It seemed that he had to strive for a higher official position and earn more money.
Guan Jing arranged for Sun Yu to stay in a temporary small house and let him rest for a few days before going to Zhuo County to take office.
This house is a simple thatched hut, with only one room and one bed. It's really hard for Sun Yu, who also brought a young servant girl named Zhao Yun. How can they sleep on one bed? He didn't know that in this era, poor families couldn't afford to buy servants, and ordinary people's houses didn't have extra rooms for servants to live in.
However, Zhao Yun didn't mind this matter. She took down a small package from her back, took out a few pieces of cloth and spread them on the ground, treating it as her own bed.
"It's a great house!" Zhao Yun looked very happy, she turned around the room twice, looking left and right, and joyfully said to Sun Yu: "Master Xunzhen, this house is really good, at least worth 2000 dollars, it's a pity... everyone says I have the talent of a general, but I just can't use my martial arts skills."
Sun Yu listened to her words, his expression stunned, thinking that this thatched hut is also considered good? It's only worth 2000 yuan, which is the price of ten stones of millet. In later generations, ten stones of millet can't even exchange for a house with one square meter. However, thinking about it this way, Sun Yu felt that his salary was quite high, one hundred stones of millet per year, isn't that enough to buy ten houses like this?
Looking at the slightly satisfied Zhao Yun, Sun Yu sighed and said: "Zi Long, don't worry, you will one day be able to use your martial general skills, and they are extremely powerful. On that day, you can live in a better house."
"Really?" Zhao Yun blinked his eyes and said with some concern, "Will I starve to death before I can release my martial general skills?"
"Aren't you my servant?" Sun Yu smiled and said: "With me around, you won't starve to death."
At this time, ten porters arrived in front of the house. It turned out that Gongsun Zan had sent these porters, each carrying a stone of millet. So much millet was suddenly carried into the small house of two people, and the whole house was crowded, except for the bed, there was no place to sleep. Zhao Yun's bedding position was also occupied.
But poor Zhao Yun wasn't angry at all, on the contrary, she was very happy. She lay down on the pile of rice and happily rolled over, excitedly saying: "Tonight I'm going to sleep in the rice pile, haha, now I won't go hungry anymore."
"Poor kid!" Sun Yu sighed, so much rice was not going to be eaten, and it was impossible to take it to Zhuozhou County, after all, they had to sell it for money, and then get themselves a set of clothes to wear. They had been wearing clothes made of ferns for a long time, what did that look like?
Zhaoyun scooped up a few handfuls of rice and went to the kitchen, and before long, he had cooked a pot of rice. The two of them didn't have any dishes to go with their meal, so they just ate plain white rice, each having two bowls. Just after finishing their meal, Gongsun Zan sent someone to deliver official robes to Sun Yu. Official robes were originally supposed to be made at one's own expense, but Gongsun Zan saw that Sun Yu had empty hands and was wearing clothes made of woven ferns, so he took it upon himself to pay for a set of official robes for Sun Yu.
Gongsun Zan is really a good girl! Sun Yu couldn't help but sigh in admiration!
Having clothes, still have to sell rice, after all, need some cash on hand. Sun Yu went to the market and exchanged eight stones of rice for money, as expected, this era's grain price is one stone 200 Wen, but this year the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, so the grain price has risen to one stone 260 Wen. Sun Yu's eight stones of grain sold for a total of 2080 Wen, which is a small amount of pocket money.
That night, the darkness was like water. Sun Yu slept on the bed, while Zhao Yun slept in the remaining pile of two-stone millet. Her pitiful figure curled up in a heap of millet, like an abandoned kitten.
Sun Yu repeatedly advised her to go to bed, saying that she would sleep in the rice pile herself, but Zhao Yun refused. The little girl insisted on sleeping with Gu Mi together and was unwilling to sleep on the bed. In her opinion, being able to sleep in a food pile is a hundred times happier than sleeping on a bed.
"Zi Long, how old are you this year?" Sun Yu asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.
"Twelve years old!" Zhao Yun said with a blink of his eyes.
No wonder, at this age, Luo Li's got a messy and disheveled look, to the point where she can't even muster up any evil thoughts, Sun Yu covered her head with the quilt and started snoring loudly.
