After the Han family's wedding, the central capital city returned to peace. The New Han Dynasty put away its fangs and went into hibernation completely. Liu Bei has been fighting endlessly in the past few years, and although the national strength is strong, he also needs to recuperate.

The most important thing is food, the conquest in recent years has almost consumed the grain stock, and now although the territory is larger, the gap is even greater with the increase in population. In this way, Liu Bei is worth following the advice of Han Fei and others, and postpone the conquest of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu and Cao Pi of Jingzhou.

On this day, Liu Bei summoned Han Fei into the palace, and Han Fei came to the palace and saw Liu Bei's gloomy face. After stepping forward to salute, Han Fei spoke, "What is the matter with the Lord summoning me here?" ”

Liu Bei sighed and handed Han Fei a copy of the music in his hand and said, "Zicong, take a look for yourself!" ”

Han Fei came over and couldn't help frowning, it turned out that it was none other than Sun Qian, the Taishou of Chang'an. Sun Qian can also be regarded as an old man on Liu Bei's side, he has followed Liu Bei since he first started the army, and it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye. This person has average ability, but he is very serious and responsible. This is also an important reason why Liu Bei promoted him to be the Taishou of Chang'an.

He wrote in his speech: The continuous war has led to the loss of youth and strength around Chang'an City, and now due to limited labor, a large area of cultivated land is barren and uncultivated. In the long run, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Guanzhong to be self-sufficient!

Han Fei put down the song, raised his head and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I'm afraid what Sun Taishou said is the truth!" ”

Liu Bei nodded with an ugly face and said, "I also know that this is the truth, but the more I feel uneasy!" Guanzhong has always been the granary of the world, and now Gongyou actually said that it is difficult to be self-sufficient in grain production, so how can I not worry? ”

Han Fei listened to Liu Bei's words and groaned slightly: "Fei knows the worries of the lord, now that my new Han Dynasty has just been established, if Guanzhong is unstable, it will inevitably affect the world, and people will be panicked." As long as grain production does not decrease, Guanzhong will certainly be able to return to its past in three to five years. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "What Zicong said is very much in line with my intentions, but now that people are needed everywhere, where can I conjure people to send them to Guanzhong!" ”

Han Fei smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is not difficult!" ”

"Oh? Zicong, what are your plans, tell me quickly! Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard Han Fei's words, and he asked.

Han Fei didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly: "Lord, the minister has two strategies to dedicate to the lord." First, Guanzhong can be divided into the Rigan area, and each region will have an army go to the military camp. Now that the war is less resting, and the army has more time, it is better to go to Tuntian. I believe that in this way, the grain production in Guanzhong will be restored in a short time. ”

Liu Bei smiled after hearing this: "Zicong's wisdom is not as good as me, and it is true that the strategy of the military tun is actually a national policy." Goodness, great goodness! Hahahaha! ”

Han Fei was not as happy as Liu Bei, he waited for Liu Bei to finish laughing and said: "Lord, this is just an expedient measure, the strategy of the military camp may be used for two years, but when the war is together, the army will still need to go." We still lack labor, especially young and strong, and if we want to replenish it in a short time, we can only rob it. ”

"Rob? Where to grab? Liu Bei couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Han Fei didn't speak, but pointed to the north with his finger. Liu Bei didn't understand what he meant at first, but as Han Fei's movements continued, Liu Bei suddenly had a strange look on his face. He couldn't help but speak: "Zicong, you're talking about the Huns?" ”

Han Fei nodded and said, "Yes, I'm talking about the Huns, of course, including the Tiele people, the Wuhuan people, and so on." As long as it is the people on the grassland, we want it, and now the Central Plains has been fighting for many years, resulting in a huge decline in population, and the tribes on the grassland have always been our great enemies. Of course, this matter does not require us to take action in person, and now it is another good candidate, have you forgotten it? ”

As soon as Han Fei mentioned it, Liu Bei suddenly smiled and said, "Zicong, are you talking about Lu Bu?" He is now nominally attached to our dynasty, and it is appropriate to use him to deal with the Huns. Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Han Fei immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Using the grassland people is a long-term solution, and now there is still a place where the ministers are eager to get a million people." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zicong said quickly, where is that?" ”

Han Fei smiled and said, "It's Zhang Yan, the black mountain thief in Taihang Mountain!" Didn't the lord forget him to me? ”

When Liu Bei said this after Han Fei, he immediately laughed and said, "It turned out to be him, I understand!" This place has been disobedient to Wang Hua for a long time, and now it's time to clean them up. After Liu Bei and Han Fei talked, their mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Bei wanted to leave Han Fei to eat in the palace.

Han Fei accepted it without hesitation, Liu Bei's lunch was very simple, just four dishes and one soup, compared to the old lady who ate more than 100 dishes at a meal in later generations, Liu Bei was simply too simple. So much so that Han Fei, who was eating with him, couldn't help but speak: "The lord's meal is too simple, now that the new Han Dynasty has just been established, the lord still needs to take care of the dragon's body." It's better to eat more of this meal. ”

Liu Bei laughed when he heard this: "Zicong is not used to eating? I'm not as rich as your family! Let's just do this for the time being, I think it's pretty good! Speaking of which, the roast duck at the last wedding was good, and the queen once asked me? Next time, you send a few into the palace. ”

Han Fei smiled when he heard this: "It's not easy for the lord to eat roast duck, I will ask the cook to come to the palace when I go back, and hand over how to make roast duck to the imperial dining room, and then the lord can eat it whenever he wants." While chatting about the end of the meal, watching Liu Bei put down the chopsticks, Han Fei also put down the bowl.

After lunch, Liu Bei no longer stayed with Han Fei. After Han Fei left the palace, he didn't go anywhere else, but rushed directly to Jia Xu's house. After coming to the middle capital, Jia Xu lived in a simple place and had a very low sense of existence, if there was no summons from Liu Bei, he would not have stepped out of the door.

Seeing Jia Xu, Han Fei didn't hide it, and directly told him about the upcoming army to attack Zhang Yan, and then asked Jia Xu to sort out all the news about the Black Mountain thieves and hand it over to himself. Jia Xu listened to Han Fei's words, and shook the bell in his hand without asking much, and a person who came in Jia Xu explained a few words to him, and the person left quickly. After a while, two people walked in from outside, and after these two people came in, they saluted Jia Xu.

Seeing them get up after saluting, Jia Xu pointed at Han Fei and said, "From today on." You can just follow the Han Junshi. After speaking, he said to Han Fei again: "They will be handed over to you, these two have guides, and they can go anywhere on Taihang Mountain." ”
