Chapter 186: Laying a solid foundation

"So, the three generals are here to take care of me this time?" Liu Yi sent Lu Lingqi back to the house, sat down again, looked at Zhang Fei and smiled.

"That's what happened." Zhang Fei saw that Lu Lingqi was gone, and people were a lot more relaxed: "When I came, I saw that the ground had already begun to break down over there. ”

"Well, but now there are not enough people, and the progress is not fast." Liu Yi nodded and said, not only is there not enough manpower, but also the materials around him are very lacking, and I hope that after the manpower is gathered, the materials needed for the foundation can be prepared.

"It's okay, there's no hurry." Zhang Feilang laughed.

Obviously, Zhang Fei just picked up an errand and came to Liu Yi's side to have fun, after all, the accommodation environment in Jingbei is not as comfortable as Liu Yi's side, Zhang Fei used to run to Mocheng, but now Liu Bei has moved the administrative office to the public security, and Mocheng is now also a place where Liu Bei and Jiangdong can't hold each other, Zhang Fei runs again, which is easy to cause unnecessary disputes.

Even if there is some friction now, the relationship between Liu Bei and Sun Quan is still in the honeymoon period, and Zhang Fei, as an important figure under Liu Bei, his actions do not only represent individuals, and many times will be interpreted as the actions of Liu Bei, the group as a whole.

For Zhang Fei's idea of wanting to live here for a period of time, Liu Yi has a welcoming attitude, once the foundation of the new city is completed, the rest only needs to be done step by step, with Zhang Fei in the past as a supervisor, he can also spare a lot of time to accompany his wife, according to the doctor, Lu Lingqi's birth day is about April next year, Liu Yi has prepared the delivery room, and after the right track, he can spare a lot of time to accompany his wife.

In addition, there are a lot of things summarized during this time, and it also needs time to settle and sort out.

On the third day of Zhang Fei's arrival, the first batch of people sent by Cui Zhouping were sent to Liu Yi with Cui Zhouping's letter, and Liu Yi did not hesitate much about Cui Zhouping's request, and agreed with a stroke of the pen, anyway, it is not his own money, and he can attract people to his new city, what is there to hesitate, Liu Bei said that the taxes of Changsha County in the past two years were used to build a city for himself.

Liu Yi can't look down on the little money from taxes, but for the people, the exemption from these taxes is enough for them to live a prosperous life in the next two years.

"So, the husband is going to supervise the construction tomorrow?" Lu Lingqi, who was very sleepy during the day, got up very early when she should have gone to bed, and the clothes of pregnant women were more difficult to wear, and she was inconvenient to move now, so she simply didn't wear them, wrapped in a quilt and looked at Liu Yi who was dressing on the side.

It has been more than a year since I got married, and under Liu Yi's cultivation, there is not much of that kind of shyness at the beginning, but if I really face Liu Yi naked, I still feel shy.

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded and said: "About January, this foundation is fundamental, I can't do without, and when January is over, I will ask Zhang Fei to stay there, I will build him a grass hut, and live there, I really think this is an idle errand." ”

"Husband, ......" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi's exuberant place somewhere, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, the sister-in-law of the Deng family has been widowed for ten years, and now Ai'er also has a good future, she said that as long as she can hurt people, even if she is a concubine, she is willing." ”

Liu Yi didn't react for a while, nodded and said, "Cheng, do you want me to help?" Ordinary people, with the background of the Deng family's sister-in-law, I am afraid that they are not worthy. ”

These two people live a life, it's not just as simple as being together, the Deng family is also from a wealthy family in Nanyang, and their knowledge, experience and their own abilities are not bad, in terms of appearance, they are not top-notch but they can also be called beauties, and those stars in the future may not be comparable, such a woman, ordinary people can't control it.

It's not that Mrs. Deng is spicy or mean, but the two sides are not at the same level at all, they may respect each other at first, but after two or three years, I'm afraid there will be problems, strong women and weak men are not a good thing in this era.

It's just that among the people I know, there are only a few people whose backgrounds and knowledge match.

Let's wait.

"The husband can also take a concubine." Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi a little strangely: "In the past few months, the husband has endured a lot of pain for the concubine, and the concubine knows how good the concubine is, if the husband is willing, the concubine can go and talk to the sister-in-law of the Deng family." ”

"Uh......" Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi blankly, then looked at his body, felt a little dry, reached into the quilt, pinched Lu Lingqi's body and scolded with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard of a wife taking a concubine for her man." ”

Of course, it is every man's dream to have a group of wives and concubines, and Liu Yi is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, but when his wife is pregnant, he runs to take a concubine, and he can't get over this hurdle in his heart.

"What does the husband think?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi with a smile.

"We'll talk about it after you give birth." Liu Yi waved his hand, he really didn't think about it, it is said that the Deng family is also a beauty, the marriage system in this era is polyandry and multiple concubines, if people are willing, their wives do not object, it should be a good thing, but Liu Yi always feels a little unspeakable, mainly because he is too familiar.

Already dressed, Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "Madame really doesn't want to eat with me?" ”

"The concubine doesn't want to get dressed, and her body is a little tired, and she wants to sleep for a while, and her sister-in-law will send it later." Lu Lingqi shook her head.

"This problem ~ go out for a walk more during the day, which is beneficial to the body and the fetus." Liu Yi was not reluctant, after straightening his clothes, he kissed his forehead, and pushed the door out.

Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi's back and smiled a little stupidly.

"Sir, the meal is ready." Deng knew that Liu Yi was going to leave early today, so he prepared the meal early, and in the restaurant, Zhang Fei was already sitting there blatantly, ready to eat, and when he saw Liu Yi, he directly greeted him in a rough voice: "Bo Yuan, hurry up, why do you get up so late?" ”

Liu Yi looked at the dark sky outside the window a little speechlessly, this is also called late, after thanking Mother Deng at the moment, he sat behind his desk, looked at Zhang Fei and said: "Listen to Madame, the third general calls her a brother and sister?" ”

Zhang Fei's originally disdainful face instantly darkened, this matter made a fuss, and now the name has been decided.

Liu Yi didn't drag Lu Bu out any further, Cui Zhouping's matter made him learn to be proportionate, just start some jokes, and if you don't let go, the jokes will become embarrassing laughs.

"General Zhang was also joking at the time, and he couldn't take it seriously." Mrs. Deng interjected very appropriately, and opened the words away: "Speaking of which, back then, Wen Hou and General Zhang were also famous generals all over the world, and according to the concubine's body, although such a powerful person is an enemy, there will also be a sense of sympathy. ”

Liu Yi glanced approvingly at Mother Deng, she didn't say it, she would have directly led the topic away, but she was indeed a good wife and mother, Liu Yi had no idea before, but now Lu Lingqi clicked on this topic, but thought about it, and then shook her head and smiled: "What my sister-in-law said is good." ”

"Hey." Zhang Fei grabbed a roast chicken, took a bite, and said with a look of nostalgia in his eyes when he heard the words: "Speaking of which, when Lu Bu was alive, although he didn't look down on him, if it was about leading troops to fight, there were not many people in the world who could stand side by side with him. ”

In fact, Liu Yi felt that if there was no one in Guan Yu's later theory, he was not much worse than Lu Bu, and even surpassed, these two people, in fact, no one was better than anyone else, and there were obvious flaws in their personalities.

Looking at Zhang Fei's table full of meat, Liu Yi shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing to be so greasy early in the morning. ”

Liu Yi's breakfast is relatively fixed, a bowl of porridge with meat foam, two eggs, a stack of vegetables and two flour cakes, coarse grain cakes, these days, the noodles are basically coarse grains.

"Hey." Zhang Fei said indifferently: "When I was chasing the county, I was not happy with meat, and later I fought with my brother in the south and the north, but the food was a lot worse, and I could eat more meat when I was in Xuzhou, which is like you here?" ”

In the end, Zhang Fei couldn't help but be a little envious, I heard that the craftsmen on Liu Yi's side could eat meat until they vomited, that is, when the three brothers occupied Xuzhou and competed with Cao Cao for the Central Plains, they had never been so extravagant.

Of course, it is impossible to eat meat until you vomit, but Liu Yi's treatment of the craftsmen who work with him is really good, and the meat is bought at half the purchase price of the Mi family, even if it is eaten in the canteen provided by Liu Yi in order to save money, it is also fishy, but it is not as delicious as outside.

Liu Yi peeled off the eggshell, looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "After the new city is established, I will propose to the lord to build a few more such towns in the territory, which can provide enough food and money for our army every year." ”

Why is Shu Han not as good as Cao Wei?

Although the loss of Jingzhou is a big reason, but more importantly, the economy has been opened, Longzhong to ZhongZhuge Liang said that when he said Yizhou, he said that the people were rich and the country was rich, but in the later teacher table, it was clearly stated that Yizhou was tired, since Liu Yi chose to go out, he must hope that Liu Bei can win the world and end the troubled times as soon as possible.

What he can do now, in addition to his own functions, the most important thing is to help get stuck in two points, one is to ensure that Jingzhou is not lost, and the other is to try to get the economy and agriculture up, in Liu Yi's view, this is the most important.

"Okay, I'll go tell my brother!" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Liu Yi: "Look at the people you have here, they are all quite strong, and they are all soldiers of the material!" ”

For this kind of thing, Zhang Fei obviously raised his hands in approval.

Liu Yi didn't tell Zhang Fei about specific things, if he had the chance, he would talk to Zhuge Liang about these things, and it would be easier for him to understand his thoughts, as for Zhang Fei, what he saw might only be the current problem.
