Chapter 71 Find a balance between desire and reality

A long time ago, an emperor finally captured the enemy's country after many years of war. When he was happy, he ordered to reward the loyal ministers of the past. Therefore, the emperor issued such a notice: All ministers above the third grade will get a piece of land, and the amount of land will be determined by the ministers themselves. The method is that each minister rides a horse and, within three days, goes around Running around the vast land, the land in the circle is owned by the individual; ministers below the third rank are rewarded with jewelry by the emperor. The notice had just been posted, and the ministers were all excited about the king's reward and shouted wisely.

Almost every minister who can staking land has found their own best steed in the fastest time, preparing to occupy the land they want. Among them was a minister with a thin body and a well-known impoverished household in the court. He spent most of his life in the officialdom, but he only managed a Qingshui Yamen. In the face of this trend of land enclosure, this hero who likes to take advantage of small things has long been unable to restrain his inner excitement, thinking: I have been poor all my life, and now I finally have the opportunity to become rich!You must find a way to circle the most land.

After some hard thinking, the poor minister finally came up with a brilliant plan, and he couldn't help but smile.It turned out that in order to get more land than others, he simply brought three days' worth of dry food, and vowed to keep running and never get off his horse for less than three days. In this way, the poor minister started his own plan.After the first day passed, he felt too tired and in a trance, and the only way to regain his energy was by eating some food. On the second day, his hand holding the rein was already numb and unable to move, and he could barely open his eyes. He had been struggling for two consecutive days, and his already aging body had almost lost the last trace of vitality.

He was so eager to take a break that he wanted to give up countless times, but the great dream of enclosing the most land overwhelmed everything. Finally, when a red sun rose from the east, the poor minister, who was already on the verge of collapse, started his journey for the third day.He was extremely tired, but unable to eat. He sat withered on the horse's back, and he was no longer as energetic as he was at the beginning. Even pulling the rein, he had to exert all his strength. Several times, he felt his eyes darkened, as if he was about to fall off the horse's back, However, thinking that he could become the biggest landlord in the country in the future, he persisted tenaciously.

The sun is moving westward little by little, the three-day staking period is coming to an end, an extremely magnificent circle is about to take shape, and the dream of the poor minister at the beginning is about to become a reality. At this moment, the victory is in sight. The poor minister remembered the heroic posture of fighting in the battlefield when he was young, and he couldn't help but want to learn how he was back then. He actually raised his arms, but he didn't expect that the moment he raised his arms, his whole body was lifted from the back of the horse. I fell down and never stood up again. At this time, I was only a few hundred meters away from the long-awaited finish line.
