Chapter 292: Goodbye Deng Ai
Regarding the matter of Juntun, Liu Yi only put forward an idea and asked him to do it, probably as he said, the soldiers farm their own land and eat by themselves, so as not to disturb the people as much as possible, and there can still be a part of the income here.
But the problem in the hearts of this army is not easy to solve, since being a soldier also requires farming, and the tax is higher than that of the peasants, what is the purpose of their conquest of the Quartet?
Liu Yi may have made a complete set of soldier welfare plans, but that is unrealistic, even if Liu Bei's army is well-armed, but since the Battle of Chibi, which war has lost tens of thousands of dollars? If you really make a welfare plan, I'm afraid that with the war, it won't be long before the finances here will be lost.
The concept of Juntun is not a new term, and Liu Bei is not a group of rice buckets, and he puts forward his own opinions to dig a pit, and it should not be too difficult to find the person who fills the pit, and therefore, Liu Yi no longer pays attention to this matter after Guan Yu promised to go to Liu Bei to find relevant talents, and there are still many things to do in Nanyang at present.
The place is big, Liu Yi plans to build a few farms and other places that combine agriculture and animal husbandry, and there is no need to be like the fishing villages in the past, but at least there is a perfect drainage system and a simple power system, and in Nanyang, it is not difficult to establish such farms.
The funds for the city wall are intermittent, and the establishment of these farms is basically to find people nearby, ten or twenty, completed in three or five days, and the patchwork has not been broken.
Time passed bit by bit in the busyness, Nanyang has somewhat changed, but these changes are not too big, but the people in the safe zone have begun to come out and settle in the farm, as for the city, Liu Yi doesn't want them to live back at the moment, if there is another epidemic, even if they can't bear it, they can only destroy the city in large quantities.
The city was destroyed with one stone, and the entire Nanyang was scattered, and it was necessary to ensure that the source of the plague had completely disappeared, and during this time, in addition to building a farm, Liu Yi did the most was to send people to find the corpses around to bury or burn.
If you want to talk about the people's hearts, the degree of support for Liu Bei in Nanyang may even exceed that of Jingzhou and Shuzhong, which is a bit incredible, but over the years, it has probably been exploited too seriously under Cao Cao's rule, so that Liu Bei's policy is slightly better, for the people of Nanyang, that is a great benefactor, and Liu Yi has studied Cao Cao's previous policy in Nanyang, and only suggested that Liu Bei cut some unnecessary conscription, in fact, the tax burden is not much worse than when Cao Jun governed Nanyang, but in this way, it also makes the people of Nanyang grateful to Dade.
Of course, the system will gradually move closer to Jingzhou and Yizhou, but it can't be cut all at once, in that way, maybe you will get a moment of gratitude, but who knows if anyone will be happy, and feel that Liu Bei will be better for them.
"Tinghou!" When Guan Ping rushed over with a person in this direction, Liu Yi had just finished a town house and put it on the highest roof of the farm.
"Tanzhi?" Liu Yi climbed down from the roof and saw that there was another person behind Guan Ping, but the distance was too far to see clearly.
He patted the dust off his body and let the temporary craftsmen continue to work, and he caught up with them.
"Why do you have time to come to me today? No need to train troops? He took the towel handed by Xiaohuan, wiped his face, and looked at Guan Ping suspiciously.
"Look, Pavilion, who's coming?" Guan Ping turned over and dismounted, pointing behind him.
"El?" The people in the rear followed, and when they saw the other party's face clearly, Liu Yi was a little surprised.
"Ai has seen sir." Deng Ai turned over and dismounted, and it was a big gift to Liu Yi.
"Hurry up." Liu Yi handed the towel to Xiaohuan and reached out to help Deng Ai up.
Deng Ai didn't think Liu Yi was dirty, raised his head, and smiled a little honestly: "Sir, Ai and my mother miss you very much." ”
"Is your mother okay?" Liu Yi nodded, and when he mentioned the Deng family, he still felt a little nostalgic in his heart.
"Everything is fine, but I went with Ai. After all, the mother rarely smiled. Deng Ai said with some regret.
"Have you started a family?" Liu Yi did not continue to say more on this topic, but began to ask about Deng Ai, with Deng Ai's age, he was actually able to start a family.
"The teacher has already said a family affair for Ai, just waiting for the teacher to return to Cheng. After all, they got married. Deng Ai nodded a little shyly, the words of the matchmaker of his parents' orders are the mainstream, but looking at Deng Ai's expression, he should be very satisfied with this family business.
"Why are you waiting for me?" Liu Yi wondered, although if he had time, he should definitely go to this wedding, but there was no need to wait for himself, right?
"Sir treats me like a son, and I treat him as a father." Deng Ai said seriously.
The most important years of his life were basically spent here with Liu Yi, teaching him the truth, teaching him knowledge, and even being able to become Zhuge Liang's disciple is also Liu Yi's match, Deng Ai is grateful to Zhuge Liang, but even more grateful to Liu Yi, without Liu Yi, there would be no Deng Ai today.
Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this, looked at Deng Ai, who was already taller than himself, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, the immature boy who liked to fight and complained about his punishment in the past has now grown up and has a higher future than in history, patted Deng Ai on the shoulder, Liu Yi smiled: "Don't worry, this is the case, I will take my family to Cheng. All, your wedding room, I will personally help you build it! ”
"Thank you, sir." Deng Ai smiled very happily, just like in front of Liu Yi back then.
"Haven't you said what you're here for?" Liu Yi pulled Deng Ai and asked with a smile as he walked: "You won't be in charge of this Tuntian matter, right?" ”
"Sir is really like a god." Deng Ai smiled and nodded: "But this is the case, Ai has learned a lot of skills with his teacher over the years, and he has studied a lot in this Tuntian. ”
"Since Kong Ming asked you to come, it means that he also thinks that you can handle this matter." Liu Yi nodded and smiled when he heard this: "I have built this farm for you, and the water conservancy around it is almost the same, it should be able to come in handy next year, and how to use it depends on you." ”
The farm has the attribute of improving farming efficiency, and the surrounding canals have the attribute of improving soil quality and increasing yield, which is really practical, and the effect should not be too bad.
"Ai is here this time to formulate a set of military strategies." Deng Ai shook his head with a smile and said, "The specific implementation still depends on the prince." ”
He also wants to go back to Shuzhong, now that he has come out, Liu Bei attaches great importance to him, in Shuzhong, now he has a small reputation, the last time Liu Bei was called the king, he had something to do in Shu, and he couldn't get out, so he never came to see Liu Yi.
"It's fine." Liu Yi nodded and said: "This Nanyang matter has come to an end, after the Great Wall is built, I will be ready to go back to the fishing village, after you have something to do, you can come to the fishing village to find me, how about you and I go back to Shuzhong together?" ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Deng Ai smiled when he heard this.
"Have you ever seen a prince?" Liu Yi asked.
"Haven't visited yet." Deng Ai shook his head, as soon as he came, after finding Guan Ping, he came directly to see Liu Yi, it stands to reason that he should go to see Guan Yu first, but Guan Yu has been patrolling the city wall recently, and he can't come back for a while, so he came here to see Liu Yi first.
"Go and meet as soon as possible, and follow the prince and marquis during this time, remember, with the prince and marquis, don't be too radical in tone, this military matter, since you are not in charge, it will fall on the prince and marquis in the end." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Before Ai left, his mentor had a similar explanation." Deng Ai is a little funny, Guan Yu is donkey temper, and no one under Liu Bei knows it, but whether it is Zhuge Liang or Liu Yi, they still have to be entrusted with an explanation.
"What's your expression?" Liu Yi slapped him and said, "Kong Ming and I are all for your good!" ”
"Ai knows!" Deng Ai lowered his head with a bitter face and admitted his mistake, he didn't say anything bad, but he just felt that there was no need to ask him like this twice, as if he couldn't take care of himself.
"Go back with Tanzhi first, there are still more than a dozen farms to be built, and when they are finished, I will go to bid farewell to the prince, and then I will see you." Liu Yi waved his hand and said, the farm has been built more than thirty, and after fifty are built, the fortifications on the side of the Great Wall will almost be completed, and Sun Quan has recently sent a lot of money and deposits, and Liu Yi has accepted a new fourth-level blacksmith as a disciple, who is responsible for building weapons for Jiangdong.
The money sent by Jiangdong just makes up for the lack of financial resources now, anyway, the money to build this Great Wall is there, and the rest has nothing to do with Liu Yi, anyway, after the Great Wall and fortifications are built first, he is ready to rest for a while.
