This area of the Yangtze River seems to be particularly prone to rainy weather, how long has it been since I came to Xiakou Daying, and this is the first time that it has been rainy?

Although the rain was not very heavy, it brought a hint of uncertainty to this war, which could start at any time.

In such weather, Chen Mo did not stay in his comfortable tent to enjoy a rare peace, in fact, the more such weather, the easier it is to have accidents, because at this time, people's hearts are always the most relaxed.

"Kong Ming, you said that the old man studied the celestial phenomena for war or for a better life?" Chen Mo and Zhuge Liang sat in a small pavilion not far from the barracks and chatted, he likes to chat with smart people like Zhuge Liang, no matter what position the two sides are in, whether they are hostile or not, but chatting with smart people, they can always discuss some more thought-provoking things, not necessarily war, in fact, there are many things to explore in this world besides war.

"Or survive, most of the people in this world who know the best about celestial phenomena are farmers." Zhuge Liang took a sip of hot soup, looked at the rain curtain outside the pavilion, and also felt a sense of being washed, although he had no feeling for assisting Chen Mo, but it was very comfortable to chat with Chen Mo, discuss knowledge with each other, and don't want to worry about those troubles outside, it is actually very good, and even if there is no war, Zhuge Liang believes that he and Chen Mo may be able to become friends.

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Yes, farming in all seasons, this weather change has the greatest impact on the harvest in the field, and this world is so big, and the celestial phenomena are different in different places, if you can't control these, you will have to starve to death?" Is it survival indeed? Do you think the people of this world really need the imperial court? ”

"Naturally." Zhuge Liang gave Chen Mo a positive answer, and then looked at Chen Mo with some doubts: "Why did King Ming ask this?" ”

"Before, I thought how to govern Shu? How many sets of officials are derived? But do you know what is the most appropriate set of rulers? Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Ryo didn't think about it." Zhuge Liang's face is a little not good-looking? Shu is the foundation of his plan for Liu Bei, how could he not have thought about it? But now the war in Shuzhong is not over yet? Zhuge Liang was still a little lucky, and he didn't want to discuss this issue too much.

"There is no government office, but most of the functions of the government office are useful to the imperial court, but for the people? In addition to collecting taxes? In other respects, it doesn't make much difference. Chen Mo groped his chin and slowly said his own set of rules.

"King Ming is really a strange person!" Listening to the set of official governance that Chen Mo pondered, Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Mo with some surprise, this kind of system is actually very close to the Taoist idea of ruling by doing nothing, but it is different? After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "It's just that King Ming shouldn't have thought about the premise that this system can be implemented?" ”

"Have you ever thought about it, but the government office still has a certain role? Deter the small and maintain order. ”

"This is the meaning of the existence of the imperial court? King Ming is good at calculating people's hearts, but it is difficult to evaluate when he knows the good and evil of human nature? But there is one thing......" Zhuge Liang groped his chin and smiled slightly: "A hundred people? But there is one who does not cure evil? Then hundreds of people are evil, and the role of the court is to govern one evil in a hundred, guide the people to good, and regulate the people with the law, this is the court, if you want to need the court in this world, unless everyone is holy, in addition, if there is no court, if there is a foreign enemy, how can the people resist? ”

"So, the more you govern the world, the more you feel that there are many problems." Chen Mo nodded: "Standing in different positions, what you see and think is different, if you look at the people, the Taiping place, it seems that the court has or does not have the same, or even if there is none, after all, if there is no court, there is no need to pay taxes, the bigger the family, the heavier this idea will be, there are actually many enemies in the court, standing in a high position, you have to balance all parties...... Sometimes it's quite tiring. ”

"In that case, why doesn't King Ming let go?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Chen Mo glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Because I know very well that among the princes in this world, including Sun Quan and Liu Bei, no matter who wins the world in the end, no one can do it better than me, and what I want is different from what they want." ”

"What's the difference?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled.

"What Liu Bei wants is the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, but this is what he said to the outside world, in fact, it is nothing more than wanting to get the supreme position, Sun Quan should be similar, but what I want is that everyone in the world is like a dragon, there is no poverty, hunger, cold, and war in the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about their livelihood." Chen Mo sighed when he said this, the higher his status, the more he can see that it is almost impossible to do this, everything in the world has a limit, and after prosperity, it may be decay.

Zhuge Liang also fell silent when he heard this, frowned and looked at Chen Mo, making sure that he was not joking, and shook his head for a long time: "I don't want King Ming to have such a grand wish, but King Ming thinks that such a prosperous era can be realized?" ”

"I can't now, I can't get as close as possible, I can't do it today, it doesn't mean that I can't tomorrow, even if I can't in the end, at least someone has approached in this direction, and in the end it will be successful or not, so what, I am alone and worthy of my heart!" Chen Mo said with a smirk smile.

Zhuge Liang was silent, just quietly looking at the continuous rain curtain outside the pavilion, thinking about his own thoughts.

The sound of hurried horses' hooves was heard in the distance, breaking the silence of the rain curtain, and Chen Mo turned his head to see that a knight in a cloak and a hat was galloping towards this side with a dozen guards.

A very special team, Chen Mo waved his hand, signaling the soldiers who were hiding around to move lightly, he was very curious, such a team that appeared here, let's just be a team, what to do? How did you get close to this place from the scouts around you?

Looking at the rain curtain, Chen Mo seemed to understand a little, sure enough, this Jingzhou army was really not as good as the Ming army, picked up the broth on the table, and watched with great interest that the team from far and near, and soon appeared outside this pavilion.

"It's a woman." Chen Mo watched this scene with interest, turned his head and smiled at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang nodded, under the wide coat, covered with a layer of leather armor, the kind of workmanship is very fine and delicate, obviously made by himself, he has never seen any army with such leather armor, it looks good, but from Zhuge Liang's professional point of view, such leather armor is not practical, not to mention blocking the sword, I am afraid that the wooden arrows are all Xuan, for the sake of beauty, I gave up the defensive role that the leather armor should have, especially the one that deliberately bulged out of the chest, such leather armor, it is really amazing......

"Look at what! Lecher! When Zhuge Liang was so curious to study the practicality of this leather armor, he saw that the woman who got off the horseback directly drew her sword, stepped on the table between the two, put the sword on Zhuge Liang's neck, grabbed the clay pot on the table with her hand, and poured a mouthful of hot soup as soon as she raised her head.

Regardless of his own business, Chen Mo turned his head to the other side with a flat face, picked up his soup bowl and looked out, and at the same time pressed his hand vaguely, signaling that those soldiers who had already aimed their crossbow arrows at this side did not need to be excited, he could see that this woman had no malicious intentions, but this personality was a little unrestrained.

Zhuge Liang's lips trembled when he saw this, and he bowed his head slightly: "Little lady forgives her sins, she is just a little curious, and she has no intention of offending." ”

"Ha~" The person who came put down the clay pot, sighed comfortably, and glanced at Zhuge Liang with a tiny face: "You have some bearing, aren't you afraid that someone will kill you?" ”

"Although I look at Xiaoniang's heroic behavior, but between her words and deeds, there is some anger of everyone, when she is not really a villain, she does not mean to collide with her, and she will not kill people because of this." Zhuge Liang smiled.

The two people sitting here are all human spirits, this kind of posture is pretentious at first glance, how can they be restrained, if there is a real threat, they can't even get close to here.

However, Zhuge Liang's words made the other party furious, and he smashed the clay pot with a sword like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and said sharply: "Who said that, do you know that under this sword, he killed eighteen disciples like you along the way!" ”

Chen Mo shook his head, looking at the broken clay pot with some regret, Chen Mo liked the broth of this kitchen work very much.

"What do you mean!?" The woman's eyes flashed, and she looked at Chen Mo sharply, and the other party's calm appearance made her feel that this was contempt for her and disrespect.

Chen Mo picked up a can of broth from the ground again, and took a bowl and put it at her feet: "The table is a place to eat, put it down." ”

The voice is flat, but there is a feeling that no one can refuse.

"Oh~" The woman subconsciously retracted her feet, which felt a bit like facing her own teacher, no, more majestic than the teacher.

"It's a guest from afar, since you and I are destined to meet here, I will drink a bowl of broth to warm my body, but the clay pot that you broke needs to compensate me!" Chen Mo poured a bowl of broth for the other party and said.

"Thank you!" Instinctively took Chen Mo's broth and thanked him, but then reacted again, this kind of practice doesn't seem to fit his current dress, right? But the person in front of her had a bit of bearing, which made her feel a little restrained in front of the other party inexplicably, and Fang Cai's tough attitude towards Zhuge Liang couldn't be taken out in front of Chen Mo, as if something was restraining her.

Outside the pavilion, more than a dozen women were guarding outside in their robes, they had never experienced a battle formation, but they were well trained, Chen Mo looked at the women, these years, there are really female soldiers.

"Why do you look at me like that?" The woman was a little uncomfortable stared at by Chen Mo, and said with a stalk around her neck.

"This place is close to the barracks, wait for the unknown danger, take advantage of the rain to come, no matter what, it is better to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be easy to leave if the army finds out." Chen Mo smiled.

"Hey, the scouts of the Ming army have been avoided by us several times along the way, and those scouts are stupid." The woman said disdainfully: "It's all said that Chen Mo is so powerful, I don't think that's it." ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Chen silently took the other party's bowl back, poured the broth back into the clay pot, and the woman who was watching was dazed for a while.
