Chapter 207: A New Home
Pavilions and water pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, stone pillars are made of cement and then carved and painted to form a lifelike pattern, between the rockery attic, there is an artificial lake, the attic is very high, the balcony on the top of the building can see the scenery of Dongting Lake through the wall of the water village, this is Liu Yi for himself in the new city to build a manor, the maid who enters such a large manor for the first time will even sometimes get lost.
"This Bo Yuan, what's the use of designing the manor so complicated? Empty space! Walking on the bluestone paved ground, Zhang Fei said a little depressed, although there is no labyrinth in this era, but it feels similar, Liu Yi in order to test the attributes of gossip, he is crazy to use these theories in these larger mansions, you don't have a little common sense of the art of war, cultural accomplishment, you may get lost in your own home.
The maid in front of her walked in fear, and she thought in her mouth as she walked, that was the way Liu Yi taught her, if she made a mistake, she might have to go back to the original point and start over again.
"I mean, what have you been muttering there since before?" Zhang Fei is already a little annoyed when he walks, obviously it is only a few dozen steps away, and this special mother has walked hundreds of steps and hasn't arrived, are you sure you're not kidding me?
The sudden loud voice startled the maid and stopped, her delicate little face was full of grievances, and tears came out.
"Uh......" Zhang Fei looked at the maid speechlessly: "Why are you still crying, this servant girl, and I didn't beat you!?" ”
Although Zhang Fei has a violent personality, he will not bully women without taste, are the maids in Liu Yi's mansion so squeamish?
The maid looked at Zhang Fei with a sad face and said, "The three generals forgive their sins, slave and maid...... Forgot how to go. ”
Zhang Fei: "......"
This is your house, are you sure you're not kidding me as a maid?
"What then?" Zhang Fei was angry, but looking at the maid's appearance that she might cry at any time, she didn't know where to send her anger for a while, and asked with a depressed face.
"I can only ...... I can only ......" The maid glanced at Zhang Fei carefully: "Go back and go again." ”
Zhang Fei: "......"
"You tell me that mantra, and I'll come and see it." Zhang Fei had a headache and said, go again? It's impossible, the third master has also led soldiers to fight, and he has also read books, so he still has some understanding of the formation or something.
"Whoa!" The maid hurriedly repeated the mantra that Liu Yi taught him, and looked at Zhang Fei expectantly.
"Isn't that easy?" Zhang Fei pondered carefully for a moment, and said to the maid, "You come with me!" ”
"Whoa!"
took the maid back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly it suddenly became clear in front of him, and this bamboo forest was just bypassed.
"Weird!" Zhang Fei looked back at the bamboo forest, obviously it was not a complicated thing, why did he feel like clouds and mountains and mist in it just now, why didn't he find that there was still this effect when he arranged his troops before?
In fact, under normal circumstances, if you don't cooperate with the right time and place, the role that the formation can play is really small, of course, even if you cooperate, it is to play the role of a trick, giving people the feeling that it is like the legendary ghost hitting the wall, as for relying on this thing to break the enemy...... Wake up, this is not the world of Xianxia, it doesn't exist.
The attribute that Liu Yi made is just one more trace attribute, but people who know some art of war or mathematics have no problem coming out, Zhang Fei is obviously the one who has no problem, this kind of thing can't trap him.
"What does it smell like?" Just came out of the bamboo forest, Zhang Fei suddenly sniffed, looked at the little maid with an admiring face, and said.
"The head of the house, Mrs. and Sister-in-law Deng, they have dinner on the rooftop." The little girl hurriedly explained.
"Take me quickly, there is an important military situation to discuss with Bo Yuan!" Zhang Fei's face was solemn, and the little maid was stunned.
"General, please come with me!" The little maid doesn't know what is true or false, Zhang Fei's identity is higher than Liu Yidu, she is a little maid who doesn't dare to stop her, and there is no need to stop the friendship between the two, it was the head of the family who let him pick up people, and immediately took Zhang Fei into the main hall.
"The corridor is over there, what are you bringing me here for?" Under the leadership of the maid, he came to a wooden door, Zhang Fei frowned and looked at the little girl, is Liu Boyuan's servant more and more courageous? Dare to trick him?
"Over there is where the maidservants walk, the head of the house generally does not walk in the corridor, and the general status is honorable......" The maid looked at Zhang Fei a little timidly.
Handmaidens and servants?
Zhang Fei glanced at the corridor, it was similar to his own home, and this door was also in his own house, but what was it for? Zhang Fei has never been able to figure it out, and he can't open it.
Just when Zhang Fei was puzzled, the maid grabbed the handle on the side and pulled it down, and the wood automatically retreated to both sides.
A small wooden house appeared in front of the two of them.
"General, please." The maid bowed.
No one?
Zhang Fei walked in blankly, and then saw the maid walk in, there were seven identical levers on the wall of the wooden house, with 1234 peculiar symbols on them, Zhang Fei didn't understand, and saw that the maid had pulled the last one.
The whole wooden house suddenly trembled, and the piercing creak sounded in the province, and Zhang Fei felt that his body suddenly became heavier.
"What happened?" Zhang Fei looked at the maid.
"This is a cloud room, the head of the family said, with the help of the mechanism, this cloud room can be sent to the corresponding floor, and there are all in the larger manors, isn't the general already moving in?" The maid looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.
"Oh......" Zhang Fei looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Of course, I use it every day, just to teach you, after all, you waited until yesterday to move in, and you won't even leave the bamboo forest, if this thing can't be used, it is also reasonable, haha, that's it." ”
The maid looked at Zhang Fei with some suspicion, this performance was not much different from the first time they used it.
"What? Will General Ben lie to you!? Zhang Fei was a little annoyed by the maid's rude gaze, do you want to tell you, why do I run back to my room every day?
The maid hurriedly apologized, and the cloud room finally reached the top floor in Zhang Fei's dissatisfied complaints, and the wooden door was reopened, and Liu Yi and Deng were cooking things around a kettle, and there was a shelf next to it.
The rich aroma comes from the cauldron that looks stylish.
"Woo~" Xiao Liu Ming crawled around on the ground, saw someone coming, crawled to Zhang Fei's feet, hugged Zhang Fei's legs, and then climbed to the side with a disgusted face.
"Haha, Ming'er, your third uncle has come to see you!" Zhang Fei didn't come over immediately, but picked up the struggling Liu Ming first.
Xiao Liu Ming looked at Zhang Fei with flickering big eyes, and then he was not afraid of life, and directly reached out to grab Zhang Fei's steel needle-like beard, as if he had found a new toy, and pulled it up happily.
"Don't ...... Don't drag ......" Zhang Fei bared his teeth in pain, and hurriedly wanted to break free.
"Ming'er, don't be rude!" Lu Lingqi got up, took Liu Ming from Zhang Fei's hand, and nodded at Zhang Fei.
Facing Lu Lingqi, Zhang Fei was still a little uncomfortable, so he could only smile and say, "Brother and sister." ”
"Sit down." Liu Yi smiled and pointed to the chair beside him and invited.
Liu Yi is not very accustomed to the way of sitting on the mat, and it is in his own home, so he specially made a set of tables and chairs, so that everyone can gather together to eat, instead of kneeling to eat one person at a time, of course, this is also to eat like this when eating privately at home, and when entertaining guests, you still have to use the table table.
"It's ...... Hu bed? Zhang Fei looked at the chair with some curiosity, as well as this table, and sat down at Liu Yi's invitation, not to mention, it was more comfortable than kneeling to eat.
"It was quite inconvenient to eat at the low table and mat, so I made a set at home, and I named it a chair." Liu Yi said with a smile.
For formal occasions, it is indeed a bit unsophisticated, but if it is just a private meal at your own home, outsiders are not qualified to care.
"Gu Du soup, but I haven't eaten it for a long time, but Bo Yuan will enjoy it." Zhang Fei took the double chopsticks handed by the maid, looked at the boiling soup in the kettle, and smiled.
Gudu soup is the predecessor of hot pot, since when it began, it is impossible to test, but it has really become popular, but it has been a matter of the past few decades.
Among the seasonings in the Han Dynasty, the basic seasonings such as ginger, onions, garlic, mustard peppercorns, etc., are available, so the things cooked are more delicious, and with the kettle made by Liu Yi himself, the taste is not much worse than that of later generations, but it is a pity that there is no chili, otherwise the taste will be even better.
"I haven't told you why you're here today?" Liu Yi added a piece of mutton to Lu Lingqi, looked at Zhang Fei with some confusion and asked.
"This new city is about to be completed, but the population in the city is to attract the families of these people, and it is also dissatisfied with the city, this Jingnan land, the population is too small after all, ask you if there is a way?" Zhang Fei quickly sandwiched a dozen pieces of meat into his bowl, and generally shook his head and sighed.
Liu Yi looked at the bowl full of meat and said, "Eat more vegetables and vegetables, there is not much meat, save some food." ”
"I'm down to business!" Zhang Fei fiercely stuffed a few pieces of meat into his mouth and complained to Liu Yi.
your grandma's business, if you kind of put the bowl down, I'll believe you!
Shaking his head, Liu Yi said: "Don't say Jingnan, the princes have been divided over the years, and the population of the whole world is insufficient, and besides, this city can accommodate a population of 200,000, and there are not so many people in the whole of Changsha, if you really fill the city, who will plant the land in Changsha?" ”
"Then what's the use of you building a city of this size?" Zhang Fei was stunned.
For the sake of experience!
Liu Yi glanced at Zhang Fei, didn't tell the truth in his heart, just said: "If Jiangdong comes to attack one day, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses can be blocked here!" And now there are not so many people, does not mean that there is no future, although the population of Jingnan is small, but it is abundant in materials, if it continues to develop like this, within ten years, there will be a million people, if there are another twenty years, the population will be more, then this Jingnan will be our main logistics base! ”
As long as the conditions can keep up, the next ten years will be a period of population explosion in Jingnan, and this new city will also become a key point connecting Jingnan and Jingbei, which is also an important reason for Liu Yi to build the city.
