In Yicheng, Liu Zhizhi was piled up with tall letters, all of which were urgent bulletins sent from all over the country, asking him to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible to participate in the celebration of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival; There are those who ask him to agree to issue a chase order and use the army to hunt down and kill Zhenrong; There are also Xuzhou officials who asked Liu Bei to support them to continue in office.

However, the most common in the letter was Qingzhou's request for him to return to preside over the work and deal with the emperor's possible inspection. In addition, Qingzhou businessmen went to Nanyang last year and returned with a full load. This year, the monsoon is blowing again, and various trading companies in Qingzhou have consulted Liu Bei's opinion, hoping to go to Nanyang again.

After Yicheng was pacified, Chen Deng borrowed Li Jin and asked Li Jin to help him reorganize the team, and he hurried to Pengcheng to take over as Xuzhou Mu accompanied by the general Qiao Rui. According to Liu Bei's suggestion, Chen Deng will stay there, complete the task of taking over Xuzhou, and calm the hearts of officials before thinking about other things.

Due to Liu Bei's outstanding reputation, Chen Deng was relieved and boldly handed over the surrender army to Liu Bei for reorganization, and he was not worried that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to devour this force. After Chen Deng left, Liu Bei moved into the Yicheng Mansion and started working. And Sun Yi came to Shouchun in person to preside over the attack on Yuan Shu.

"It's not time yet", Liu Bei put his hands behind his back in the palace, and circled: "Xuzhou is the southern import and export of my Qingzhou, if an unfriendly strong neighbor rises, it will make Qingzhou suffer from enemies on three sides." Between Qingxu, only the south of Xuzhou has Jiuhua Mountain, Yellow Mountain, Tianmu Mountain and other mountain beams can be defended according to the danger, the rest of the land is a horse Pingchuan, Qingxu Plain is a good place for development, but if you want to survive, Qingxu must be one.

finally waited for this opportunity - after Chen Deng succeeded him, he would comprehensively change the political system of Xuzhou and accelerate the pace of integration of Qingdao and Xuzhou. However, Cao Cao and Sun Quan have not yet expressed their position, and they must not move lightly now. ”

Liu Bei walked to the door of the lobby, looked at the hazy sky, and said to himself, "However, it's time for the time." ”

No one expected that the first person to express his stance was Jingzhou Liu Biao, Liu Bei was anxious, and the guards reported: Jingzhou messenger Wang Jian came to visit.

"Please", Liu Bei returned to the seat, dressed up, and sat solemnly.

With the call of the guards, a five-short, dark and fat man walked arrogantly, not squinting along the way, and when Liu Bei looked at him, his burning eyes stared at Liu Bei.

"Cai Yong's high apprentice, Jingzhou Wang Ji?" Liu Bei asked, half inquiring, half disappointed. Wang Huan had the highest achievements in Chinese studies in the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", and his poetry was called the "crown of the seven sons" (Liu Xian's "Wenxin Carving Dragon"), and later generations called him and Cao Zhi "King Cao". He is Cai Yong's proud protégé, and when he went south after completing his studies, Cai Yong once said with emotion: "My learning went east." "I didn't expect Wang Ji to be so unimpressive.

Wang Wei nodded, suddenly fell to the ground, and respectfully knelt down to thank Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei stood up in surprise and stood sideways, saying that he didn't dare to bear it.

After the tedious etiquette was done, Wang Ji didn't wait for Liu Bei to ask, and sang a salute: "The Huns are tyrannical, my teacher is in trouble, the young girl is displaced, and she lives in mourning." The people of the country were speechless, trembling and speechless, but the general rose up, sent troops to Xihe, raised the majesty of my Han, and took the senior sister and returned. Under the nine springs of my teacher, I should also be comforted. The kid is incompetent, the senior sister can't help when she is in danger, now I should be the teacher thanks, when the senior sister is thanked, the general is virtuous, and the kid is inscribed. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and I can't help but say that Wang Ji is an excellent lobbyist, and his statement has brought him closer to Liu Bei. Cai Yan is the woman Liu Bei admires more, and it is Liu Bei's pride to save the beauty as a hero.

"It turns out that you are Cai Gongzhi's senior apprentice", Liu Bei asked knowingly. Unable to resist his curiosity, Liu Bei asked again: "I heard that you have a son Wang Xiang, is he okay?" ”

I had heard that Liu Bei was weird, but Wang Ji didn't expect that as soon as Liu Bei came up, he greeted his baby who couldn't speak, and Wang Ji replied half gratefully and half suspiciously: "Fortunately, how did Xuande know that I only got a son, but I haven't named him yet." Wang Xiang? This is a good name, thank you Xuande Gong for the name. ”

Liu Bei laughed awkwardly and covered up the past.

Wang Xiang is the Wang Xiang who "lies on the ice and begs for carp" mentioned in the "Book of Filial Piety", it is said that when Wang Xiang was young, his biological mother died, and Wang Wei married his stepmother Zhu. Wang Xiang is very filial to his stepmother, but his stepmother is not kind to him, he is always picky in eggs, and being beaten and scolded is Wang Xiang's daily routine.

Wang Xiang's stepmother liked to eat carp, and one winter, her stepmother wanted to eat carp too much, so she gave Wang Xiang a problem and asked him to catch a fish. In order to get the carp, Wang Xiang lay naked on the ice, and he used his body temperature to melt the ice, and caught two carps and brought them home to offer to his stepmother. His actions were rumored to be a good story, and people praised Wang Xiang as a rare filial son in the world.

However, since it is said to be lying on ice, the thickness of the ice layer should be able to carry the weight of the human body, and since it can borrow such thick ice, the temperature must be very low. Later do-gooders calculated through physics, even if conservative guesses that the ice was only 15 centimeters thick at that time, and the temperature was -10 degrees Celsius, he was exposed to the icy air, and the area of skin (chest) against the ice accounted for 9 percent of the total area of human skin.

Well, to melt the ice, you need 9267 kcal. This energy can lift a 50-kilogram object (space capsule) to a height of 79 kilometers in one go, or a five-ton car to reach a speed of 448 kilometers per hour. In this sense, Wang Xiang himself is a living launch vehicle. Such a strange person, Liu Bei really longed to see it in his heart.

Liu Bei is very strange, with such perverted power, he can easily break the ice of the entire lake into pieces, why should he let himself freeze half to death and go to lie on the ice?

What's even funnier is that such an absurd story that is almost Martian has made us worship as an official must-read classic for nearly 2,000 years. For 2,000 years, none of us have empirical evidence or brains to think about whether it is reasonable.

Liu Bei's curious look made Wang Ji very uncomfortable, and after a little greeting, Wang Ji went straight in: "The banner of the Xuande Gongjun is going, the Xiongnu Dingxi River, the destruction of Gongsun except Yuan Shao, the Liangzhou rebels are decided in a battle, and now the soldiers are under the city of Shouchun, for Yuan Highway Yan, for Liu Jingsheng?" ”

Liu Bei flickered: "In the past, the Han family was in trouble, and the world was the king of the people, where is Liu Jingsheng?" The Son of Heaven returned to the east, the Liangzhou rebels pursued behind, Qing, Xu, Ji, And, You, and Yanfa guarded the soldiers, where is Liu Jingsheng? The traitors were dispersed, everyone in the world said that they could be killed, and Liu Jingsheng alone contained Zhang Ji, the first of the bandits, Liu Jingsheng thought that there was no one in the Han family? ”

Liu Biao was appointed by Dong Zhuo, and he was very kind to the military horses of Liangzhou, which was a fact, and Wang Wei could not deny it. Liu Biao, the king of diligence, refused to participate many times, Liu Bei blamed Liu Biao with loyalty, and Wang Biao had to reluctantly defend: "The world is in chaos, how can Jingsheng stay out of the matter?" Soldiers, murder weapons, ominous, Jingzhou was initially decided, the people thought of peace, Jingsheng's public office became unfazed, stayed out of the war, and sought the well-being of Jingzhou, what is the crime? ”

"The rise and fall of the family and the country is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention Liu Jingsheng's Han clan relatives, who are in the misery of the people of other counties, the crisis of the imperial family, and the people? Bestiality? Liu Bei replied coldly. There is no room for these words, and they speak ill of each other.

Liu Biao is one of the "Eight Masters of Jingzhou", who became famous before the disaster of the party, and is famous for the Qing Dynasty discussion. The more useless it is, the less harmful it is to the powerful, so the more useless the Confucian scholars are, the more famous they are, and the more they are selected by officials to demonstrate to the people, and recognize such talents as talents. Cao Cao was a special case in the Three Kingdoms era, and he looked down on Liu Biao very much, thinking that he was a "guinea dog". It is okay to look at the house, but development and development are never in his dictionary.

"There is chaos in Xijing. Jackals and tigers are in trouble. Abandon China. Far away is suitable for Jing Barbarian. My relatives felt sorry for me. Friends chase each other. Going out and seeing nothing. The plain of white bones. There are hungry women on the road. Hug the child and abandon the grass. Gu Wen sobbed. Waving is not against the law. Unknown place of death. How can the two phases be finished. Drive the horse away. I can't bear to hear that. South Dengba Mausoleum Bank. Looking back at Chang'an. Wu Bi Xia Quanren people. Sad. Wang Wei suddenly chanted the "Seven Mourning Poems" he had made.

Liu Bei understood what he meant, and he was describing the tragic situation brought by the war to the world, so as to explain to Liu Bei Jingzhou's distress of staying out of the matter.

"That's it, let me ask you, yesterday's crisis in the imperial family, Liu Jingsheng didn't shout; Yesterday, the people were in chaos, and Liu Jingsheng did not care about it; Yesterday, the princes disputed, but Liu Jingsheng ignored it. Said: It's not Jingzhou's business, it's not my business, I'll take care of myself. Today, I want to add troops to Liu Jingsheng, who cares, who is willing to help? ”

Wang Ji was speechless.

Yes, Jingzhou doesn't care about the rise or fall of the family and country, he just wants to be happy, and now, the soldiers are in the city, who will take care of Jingzhou?

"If Liu Jingsheng comes to send you to beg for forgiveness, I may hold off for the sake of my fellow clan relatives. However, Jingsheng Gong defended himself with his sleeves, accusing me of being reckless, hehe, he was wrong, I was proud of being good at reckless military force in my life, and this will not embarrass me at all", Liu Bei pointed to the country, and said arrogantly: "I prosper with soldiers, I open up thousands of miles for the Great Khan, I am proud of my peers with soldiers, I use war to open up a broad market for Qinghai, Hebei, and, and You, so that the surrounding goods are sold all over the world, Qingzhou is rich because of continuous poor soldiers, continuous plunder, and continuous conquest. Looking around the world, I don't have to fight for the Han Dynasty, who will do it for the Han Dynasty? ”

Liu Bei was talking to himself domineeringly, his tone was full of pride, and Wang Jie deeply felt that there was a cognitive gap between him and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's words made Wang Wei faintly feel what he had captured - the market? This word was heard by Wang Ji for the first time, which made him extremely strange in his heart.

Liu Bei's belligerence once made the princes of the Central Plains fall through the glasses. Wang Yi is also exploring the reasons in it.

In the past, the Han Wu poured the strength of the whole country into conquering the Xiongnu, and as a result, the national strength plummeted, which eventually led to the destruction of the Western Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty defeated the Northern Xiongnu, the captured millions of war horses, cattle, sheep and other booty were piled up in Shanglin Yuan, and countless money and grain were consumed every day. Finally, when the Southern Xiongnu were annexed, these trophies were thrown to the Southern Xiongnu as rags, which was regarded as throwing away the burden. However, the imperial court adhered to the Confucian idea of "benevolence and righteousness", did not kill everything, did not plunder wildly, and rewarded all the spoils to those who surrendered. Since then, the imperial court has spent a huge amount of military spending, only harvesting a few useless pieces of land, and later all of them were taken by the Southern Xiongnu, in order to maintain the military strength of the border, the Han Dynasty has been exploiting the country day by day, and finally led to the Red Mei Army uprising.

When Liu Bei began to fight the Southern Xiongnu, many princes in the Central Plains had a prime minister's celebration, thinking that Liu Bei would consume his strength in this battle and no longer pose a threat to the princes. As a result, Liu Bei quickly ended the war, not only was not weakened, but relied on large-scale plundering that violated Confucianism, and dramatically expanded the cavalry force. The most strange thing is that after that, Liu Bei's strength became stronger and stronger, and in the end, the princes of the Central Plains could not look up.

What is especially depressing is that Liu Bei conquered the Xiongnu, and in the end, the distribution of the spoils of war and the Qingzhou government that launched the war accounted for only 30%, and most of the capture was taken by the soldiers. The princes thought that the heavy military expenditure would collapse Qingzhou's finances. As a result, Liu Bei immediately launched a war against Xianbei and the Wa State, and it seems that the Qingzhou government is getting more and more nourishing, and the people of Qingzhou are happier the more they fight.

What about money? The seizures go to the people, where does the military spending come from?

Market?! As soon as this word came out, Wang Ji suddenly felt something.

Liu Bei opened the way with war, and every time he conquered a place, the captured strategic goods belonged to the soldiers, and the soldiers had to pay transaction taxes if they wanted to sell the spoils of war. The concentration of livestock among the people will inevitably improve the people's farming ability, increase the grain output of the land, and inevitably increase the tax revenue per acre. The newly occupied territory is to be developed, which is a large demand market, and the sale of goods to this market is increased by the transaction tax. Even if Liu Bei doesn't pay a penny, just the increased tax revenue can also compensate for part of the military spending.

The most important thing is that the market has expanded, and the production of the people is vigorous, which has led to the policy of hiding wealth from the people, and the people have received this benefit.

"Liu Beicheng can't fight with him", Wang Wei sighed from his bones and from his conquered body and mind. Slowly, but unusually solemnly, he made a big gift to Liu Bei, and Wang Ji said convincingly: "Lord Jingsheng is wrong, he has already regretted it, what conditions does Xuande Gong have, even if he mentions it, Jingzhou is disobedient?" ”

Liu Bei smiled indifferently and said: "Zhang Ji must die, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and the existence of such a person in the world is a great destruction to the social order I advocate." I don't think that the lower can be committed, but this society must have a norm that expresses its will in a normal way. What Zhang Ji did was not to reason with others, but to compete with people's fists, his fists were hard, so he thought that the truth was in his hands, and the saints did not put it in his eyes, hum, now, my fists are harder than him, and I will do justice. Zhang Ji's immortality is not enough to thank the world. ”

Wang Ji didn't answer, just nodded heavily, expressing his approval. Liu Bei took a deep breath and continued: "Liu Jingsheng must die, not dying is not enough to thank the people, the family and the country are prosperous, and the husband is responsible, Jingsheng, as a member of the Han family, disregarded the honor and disgrace of the imperial court, and privately accepted traitors, and his crime should be punished." ”

Wang Ji stood up and bowed goodbye.

Liu Bei smiled at Wang Ji's back, and had no intention of calling Wang Ji back. The concepts of the two people are far from each other, and there is no possibility of talking about it at all, if it weren't for Cai Wenji's face, Liu Bei wouldn't have listened to Wang Ji at all.

Only then did he send Wang Ji away, and Cao Cao's envoys followed, Li Jin's brother Li Dian.

Liu Bei's temper, Cao Cao is unpredictable, he only knows that Liu Bei acts without scruples, known as "crazy", and he is not at ease when he sends other people, but Li Dian and Li Jin are here, Liu Bei will not do too much - because Liu Bei is extremely protective and will never embarrass his subordinates.

Li Dian was also straightforward, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he asked unceremoniously: "The Holy Lord left Beijing without permission and has entered Taishan County, and Cao Gong wants to send troops to recover it, is it okay?" ”
