  Three days later, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led their troops back to Luoyang. Cao Cao naturally followed them back. The thing she casually said to Gongsun Yue about snatching men was immediately forgotten.

  The three of them brought all the captured Yellow Turbans back to Luoyang, and Youzhou was once again restored to peace. Gongsun Zan also gathered his remaining troops and slowly returned to Zhu County.

  Sun Yu returned to her own courtyard, at this time Gong Sun Zan's injury had healed. Sun Yu thought she should have gone back to Beiping, but unexpectedly Gong Sun Zan was not polite and continued to live in Sun Yu's home.

  Cough cough, the women in this world are really shameless, if it were women from our world, they would have already run away with red faces, Sun Yu thought to himself.

  It's time to get paid, the boss who pays salaries can't be driven away, better welcome him instead.

  On this day, the Sun family was once again staging a sisterly dispute. Gong Sun Yue said loudly: "Sister, you should return to Beiping. Staying in Zhuo County day and night, how can you be the head of the Gong Sun family?"

  "Gongsun Zan said in a soft voice: 'Second sister, didn't I tell you to take White Horse General back to Beiping? You can temporarily take over the position of household leader. Anyway, the Yellow Turbans have been eliminated and the world is at peace.'"

  "Gongsun Yue's anger was not coming from one place, he loudly shouted: 'Sister, where is the peace in the world? In the north, after Zhang Chun's death, Wuhuan followed Qi Li Ju as their leader and are again making a move. In the south, Yuan Shao is recruiting soldiers and buying horses, who knows what he wants to do, our Gongsun family is in great danger, you actually... have the leisure to stay here guarding this big lecher Sun Yu.'"

  Gongsun Zan's face turned red as he said, "Second sister, how could he be a lecher? I clearly saw... it was you who pinned him to the ground and kissed him forcefully... You're the one acting like a rascal!"

  Gongsun Yue: "......"

  Gongsun Zan: "......"

  "Gongsun Yue said indignantly, 'That's an accident! An absolute accident. Don't mention that for now, sister, look at him bringing a woman back and putting her on the bed in our home... this is simply too much.'"

  "Is your sister jealous? It's just a servant we picked up, no big deal." Gong Sun said with a broad mind.

  "Jealous?" Gong Sun Yue's small face turned bright red with anger: "I'm not jealous of him, I... I... I'll take Yan Guang and Bai Ma Yi back to Beiping right now, humph... the Gong Sun family doesn't care about me, so I'll take care of it myself."

  Gongsun Yue stormed out of the house, rushed into the barracks like a flying bird, and suddenly there was a commotion in the barracks. Gongsun Yue had a sudden idea to lead the army back to Beiping, but many white horse guards were still sleeping at noon, so they had to run around naked in the barracks.

  What's all this nonsense?

  Sun Yu was currently digging a hole in the corner of the kitchen, he last time in Zhuo County used "must hit" to break Zhang Chun's "dashing shot" and saved Gongsun Zan, got fifteen kilograms of yellow gold reward, this time again got ten kilograms, already had twenty-five kilograms of small gold vault.

  In those days, there were no banks, and gold and silver could only be stored at home. However, the house was so small that Sun Yu learned from the wealthy landlord and dug a hole in the corner of the kitchen. He first buried a jar underground, then put all the reward money in the jar. Then he covered the mouth of the jar and buried it with mud.

  After finishing all this, Sun Yu thought contentedly: 25 kilograms of gold is quite a lot, I wonder if this money is enough to ask Hua Tuo to treat his illness. Although the historical records say that Hua Tuo is a divine doctor who doesn't charge for medical treatment, that's probably just a myth. Besides, this world isn't history yet, who knows what Hua Tuo is like? What if he asks for 100 kilograms of gold when he opens his mouth, wouldn't that be a disaster, and I'd have to save even more money?

  Sun Yu washed the dirt off his hands and slowly returned to his room. Zhang Jiao, who was sleeping on the bed, had been asleep for over ten days and still hadn't woken up. It seemed that using the "Great Sage" spell wasn't something a human could do.

  Through the window, you can see little Zhao Yun practicing her spear skills in the courtyard. Her body has become much stronger, eating well and exercising scientifically every day. The abandoned cat loli Zhao Yun is also becoming more spirited, swinging her bamboo spear with a practiced motion. Unfortunately, she just can't seem to use any martial general techniques.

  Sun Yu sighed and shouted loudly into the courtyard: "Zi Long, stop practicing for now, come in and chat with me, I have something to ask you."

  Zhao Yunhuan shouted and threw away his bamboo spear, hopping and jumping into the house.

  Sun Yu asked: "I asked you to inquire about the horse price for me, have you inquired?"

  Zhao Yun smiled and said: "I've heard that horses are divided into three categories: plow horses, carriage horses, and war horses."

  "The cheapest is a plow horse, only 4,000 wen per head. A carriage horse is about the same, needing 6,000 wen per head, but it's not good to pull a carriage with just one horse, usually two horses are needed, and bigger carriages need four horses. Finally, there's the warhorse, which is really expensive..."

  Zhao Yun's face showed a look of great longing, saying: "The cheapest warhorse costs 20,000 coins, the most expensive one... I've heard it's worth tens of millions. I've heard that our lord's sister's white horse is worth 100,000 coins."

  Sweat!

  He was calculating how much it would cost to travel the world in search of Hua Tuo. To travel the world, of course, you can't do without a horse. But riding a horse all over the world is exhausting, so you need to buy a carriage. In this era, there was no paper currency, and if you wanted to travel the world, you had to carry all your gold, silver, and treasures with you, which was also very tiring.

  Sun Yu planned to buy a large carriage for living and accommodation, plus two war horses. In this way, they could stay in the carriage at ordinary times. When encountering robbers, he and Zhao Yun could ride on the war horses to defeat the enemy or escape.

  After calculating, the four horses for pulling carts would cost 24,000 wen, and the two war horses would cost at least 40,000 wen. Not to mention other things, just the war horses and cart horses alone would use up 64,000 wen.

  At the current gold-to-copper exchange rate, one kilogram of gold can be exchanged for 10,000 wen. With his own 25 kilograms of gold, that's 250,000 wen. Before he even left, just buying a horse had used up a quarter of it.

  It's so bitter, making money is so hard! Sun Yu sighed with a bitter face: "In this era of traveling all over the world, it's really not a job for humans. I don't know what kind of magic trick Zhuge Liang used in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."

  At this time, Zhang Jiao on the bed suddenly turned over lightly, Sun Yu heard the sound and looked at it with great joy, Zhang Jiao woke up!

  Scientist's Diary:

  That day, Xiao Yun and Lu Lin persuaded me to overthrow women's rule. To be honest, I was shocked!

  First of all, I don't have the strength to do so. Not even against golden Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Cao Cao and others, I didn't have the power to defeat them, let alone possibly dark golden Lu Bu.

  But I understand that where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Not to mention men wanting to regain their dominance, even in later generations, women are still striving for equal status with men, aren't they? Their thinking isn't wrong, the mistake lies in the estimation of actual power.

  I think that if it's possible, of course only if, my strength can one day defeat women, I might as well try to establish a society where men and women are equal... Cough cough, when writing this sentence, my private heart is urging me, letting me write: Rebuild a society where men are superior to women.

  I have to admit, I've always looked forward to that kind of life with one husband and many wives, a harem of three thousand beauties. This is every man's dream, or perhaps fantasy, and I'm no exception.

  But then I thought, if my backyard is filled with martial arts masters flying everywhere, the "God of War" and the "Fighting God" casually demolishing houses, and at this time a silver-haired woman runs out and starts firing lightning bolts, what kind of scene would that be? Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

  The back palace is not so easy to open, cough, at least in this world it's not.
