168th Messenger Liu An (end)

"'There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the people of the world are happy! The wind and rain do not move, and it is as safe as a mountain. This is a poem written by my son-in-law on the spot when half of the people in the city moved into the houses that had already been built. Liu An said in the end, he also learned from Jin Jue's appearance when he wrote poems at that time, and deliberately played with it.

When everyone heard this, their hearts were throbbing, and they were also complaining: Is this a poem?

Five-character poems and seven-character poems have been formed in the Han Dynasty, like this poem made by Jin Jue, but it basically never appeared.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and he asked in detail about how Jin Jue asked the craftsmen to burn red bricks and tiles, how to build houses, fire kangs, and so on. I was thinking in my heart, how could Jin Jue, a kid who is so young, know so much?

It's incredible.

In order to escape more news about Jin Jue from this little person, Liu Bei and others actually talked with Liu An for a whole day, Liu Bei and they didn't feel tired, but Liu An was tired.

As a result, early the next morning, when Liu An was about to pack up his things and leave Xiapi and return to Guanzhong, he was led to the conference hall again, and Liu Bei directly explained his intention, which was to leave him temporarily and build more houses for Xiapi City.

In fact, due to the fear that Cao Cao would continue to attack Xuzhou, many of the people of Xuzhou who fled from Pengchengguo County to Xiapicheng did not all return to their homeland, and the vast majority of the people who went to Pengchengguo to Tuntian with Guan Yu were brave young adults, while the old and weak women and children all stayed in Xiapicheng.

This is also the biggest problem Liu Bei is currently encountering.

After Liu Bei was invited to Xuzhou by Tao Qian, he also fought with Cao's army, but unfortunately, there was no victory at all. On the one hand, Liu Bei was a guest army, and like the attacking party Cao Cao's army, he was completely unfamiliar with the geographical environment of Xuzhou, and on the other hand, Liu Bei's army was insufficient, and Tao Qian supplemented it with the Xuzhou army. How can the generals and soldiers who have not gone through the run-in be able to defeat the Cao army.

Therefore, after a night of thinking, Liu Bei decided to send an envoy to Luoyang County, and temporarily left Liu An behind.

Speaking of Liu An, the people who participated in the meeting in the council hall yesterday also saw that this young man did not have much ability, but because he personally participated in all the measures of Jin Jue in Luoyang County, just the burning of red bricks and tiles, the construction of houses and the fire kang were enough for Liu Bei to stay.

Of course, this is only temporary, Liu Bei will not be like Jin Jue, cultivate a few surnamed Liu to block himself, Liu Bei himself is surnamed Liu, not to mention, he also claims to be a member of the Han family. Among the princes of the world, only he and Liu Biao and Liu Zhang do not need to be like this.

"Liu Yuanjun, what you mean is that I will temporarily help you build a house like the one in Luoyang County in Xiapi City this winter, and I can return to Luoyang County next spring, right?" After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu An asked tentatively.

"Yes, that's what loneliness means. You can also go to the streets of Xiapi City to have a look, most of the people in the city are old and weak, women and children, if there is no large number of houses, it is impossible to say that this winter, many innocent people in Xiapi City will freeze to death. Liu Bei pleaded compassionately.

There are naturally many houses in Xiapi City that can shelter the people in the city from the wind and snow, but most of the good houses in the city are all from local wealthy families, such as Mi Zhu, although he is a native of Donghai County, but because the Mi family is a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, he was later engaged in by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, so he has a lot of houses in Xiapi City.

Even if Mi Zhu contributed the house to Liu Bei, it would not be enough to stop the people of the city.

When Liu An heard this, he nodded helplessly, and agreed to it.

However, he immediately said a few of the difficulties, and said: "Liu Yuanjun, the matter of burning red bricks and tiles, the villain will not, you call the craftsmen in Xuzhou, I can only check and fill in the gaps on the side, by the way, I want to recruit craftsmen who can burn bricks and tiles, as well as carpenters." The same goes for the house, the villain is not a craftsman, he can only point out from the side, and the matter of the fire pit, the villain has built it himself. However, Liu Yuanjun, the biggest difficulty is not how to build it, but the fuel needed for the firekang.

In Luoyang County, Liu Juncheng followed the instructions of his son and found a carboniferous mine in a place in Luoyang County. I just don't know that in Xuzhou, it is best to find this kind of carboniferous ore not far from Xiapicheng. Otherwise, just firing red bricks and tiles will cost a lot of firewood every day.

By the way, due to the shortage of food stocks in Luoyang County, a daily supply limit has been implemented. In order to be able to gather more food in his hands, my son-in-law has ordered all the food in all the homes of the city to be collected. Therefore, the people do not have to cook their own meals every day, but the government uniformly makes ready-made meals and distributes them to the people. Also, time is pressing, Liu Yuanjun, if you can't build too many houses before the heavy snow comes, please don't blame the villain for doing things badly! ”

"The matter of the coal, the Lone Society will immediately send people to investigate the territory, and after the Lone gathers the craftsmen, everything will be left to you to be responsible. Before winter, you can build as many houses as you can, and loneliness will not force you to do so. At this point, please rest assured that the little brother is! Liu Bei waved his hand and said indifferently.

Liu Bei also knows that there is still half a month to go into winter, and it may snow later in Xuzhou than in the north, but in this era, it will indeed snow in the entire north of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, it is not possible to force it.

At the same time, Wang Xiu, Lu Su and Xu Shu heard Liu An say that Jin Jue actually searched for food in the hands of the people in the county, but their reactions were different.

Wang Xiu and Lu Su both frowned, Jin Jue would definitely lose some of the people's hearts if he did this, although it was a last resort, but it was not a good thing.

But the two of them ignored the fact that more than ninety percent of the people in the county seat of Luoyang County were not from the original county seat, eighty percent were the Yellow Turban Army from the counties of Kanto, one percent were stragglers recruited along the way, and the Sanfu people who also came from Lantian County with Liu Xiongming, and half of them were the people from the townships below Luoyang County who fled to the county seat, and even some of the people who fled here from Longxian County, which was captured by the old Yellow Turbans of Julu County.
