Chapter 018: A Little Trick to Hold Real Power

With Zhang Fei's big mouth, there is nothing in the world that can be hidden, a few people just came back, Zhang Fei rushed into the middle of the team, became a paparazzi, became a loudspeaker, and arranged countless lace news, and Mr. Ma Neck became Lu Peng, who was specially pointed out by the soldiers behind his back.

Lace is just the leftovers of life, and it is fundamental to support the Han room and show off the ambition.

The situation is becoming more and more severe, and it is urgent to get a good grasp of training, and all the knives, guns, and equipment are available, and formal training is immediately put on the agenda.

However, in Liu Bei's view, the most intense training is to take out an hour every day, everyone line up, follow the password for a while, and then collect the troops to rest, such training intensity is already rare in any other army, other armies are a small practice in five days, ten days is a big practice, and most of the army does not even practice.

In fact, this is not to say that the ancients were lazy, training is actually individual work, and without adequate nutrition, it is impossible to train strong soldiers, but it will lead to the collapse of soldiers.

The reason for this is due to nutritional deficiencies.

In ancient times, due to low productivity, the production of land is very scarce, not to mention that there are no water conservancy facilities, the production of crops on the land depends on God, once there is a natural disaster, even if it is a small drought, it will make the grain harvest, so ordinary people, every day is not more than two meals in the morning and evening, the morning is generally from nine to ten o'clock in the morning, and the evening is generally between 5 and 6 o'clock, this is because of the decision of productivity, and at the same time there is a rule, that is, the so-called political treatment problem.

The Han Dynasty stipulated that the Son of Heaven had four meals a day, and the princes had three meals a day, while the ordinary people could only eat two meals a day, which was a rule that could never be transgressed.

So in this era, the people have two meals a day, due to the scarcity of food, they may eat a dry meal in the morning when the farm is busy, but no matter whether the farm is busy or the farm is idle, it must be thin at night, and there is no subsidy for the supply of oil, water and meat, which shows how its physical strength is.

However, now Lu Peng's situation is a little different, that is, he got 500 taels of gold for nothing, and he has gold in his hand, so he will talk about it after spending it.

What's more, in this era, money is expensive and cheap, originally money this thing, in this era has not been fully used to his value, the people are still barter-based, the big family is also so self-sufficient, they collect money in fact for two purposes, gold and silver are used for burial, copper money is used to melt and cast bronze, and then wait for the time to die, the scenery is buried in the ground as a burial, so this money is more valuable.

Five hundred taels of gold was about 500,000 yuan at the time, and it was possible to buy 1,700 pounds of wheat, at that time, one hundred pounds was equivalent to forty catties now, about 20 kilograms, which was equivalent to buying 80,000 catties of grain, which was completely enough for the current five hundred people and horses, three dry meals a day, and ate for a long time, if you took out 30,000 catties of grain for 3,000 catties of meat, it would be better, as for what to do in the future, not to mention that Zhang Su's two elder brothers can send a steady stream of profits to themselves, even if they go on the expedition, then the official can't send hungry soldiers, right? The food and grass should be taken care of by your government, and now the first thing is to have the soldiers well fed, enhance their physique, and then start the necessary life-saving training, and at the same time buy the hearts of these people, as the so-called If you want to conquer a man, then first conquer a man's stomach, which is the top priority.

For such a proposal, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are indispensable, because they have no concept of financial management at all, and the essence is that there is wine today, and there is no right master tomorrow.

And Liu Bei was proposed by Lu Peng, but his eyes lit up, buying people's hearts, that is something that Liu Bei can do in his bones, as long as he can buy people's hearts, he is willing to do whatever he wants.

So with a wave of his hand, he agreed.

But agree, agree, this thing is not something that Lu Peng can do, now all the people who can have food in stock are wealthy families, just with Lu Peng's current Bai Ding background, not to mention door-to-door procurement, even if his feet are touched on the steps of others, it will make the owner feel very embarrassed, close the door and let the dog, it is inevitable. Isn't it because Lu Peng has a small face? This is the age of all evils.

So, Lu Peng fooled Liu Bei into taking his imperial uncle's business card to swindle, maybe he could get 1,000 taels of materials for 500 taels of gold.

Liu Bei readily agreed to this task, for two reasons, first, Lu Peng suddenly got so many supplies, and his prestige in the army obviously exceeded his own lip service, which is very dangerous, this is absolutely not good.

Second, I was born as a straw sandal, and my friends were all lower riba people, so I just took this opportunity to fill the broad people, and then interact with the big family at the same time, can I also change my image?

Take your money and buy my favor, isn't this a lot of money, why not do it?

But Lu Peng's idea is the opposite of him, Lu Peng hopes that Liu Bei will exchange this small amount of money for more materials, and then put all these materials into training to truly build a strong army.

And after a few battles in the future, this strong army has seen blood, which is a rare army seed, think about the fact that Liu Bei was sent to Dingzhou Zhongshan Mansion, Anxi County Lieutenant, and he did not hesitate to send these veterans who have followed him for many years to go home directly, becoming the first failure of self-destruction of the Great Wall, Lu Peng thought, when the time comes, you will dismiss me to contain, these people will become their most staunch supporters, and then they will have the most loyal force, and slowly develop and grow, why not?

Otherwise, people with a view of the overall situation must develop by virtue of short-sighted people, and he is splitting Liu Bei with a view of the overall situation, thinking of this, Lu Peng hid in the corner and laughed a lot.

There is also one of the most direct benefits, that is, Liu Bei went to various places to talk about friendship with the big families, of course, he didn't care about this army, and Zhang Fei Guan Yu was just two straight-headed people, so the training of this army naturally transferred to the hands of his husband, and temporarily seized the power of this army.

Don't underestimate the power that you have seized temporarily, in fact, whether in the army in the past life or in the future, the most able thing to form a comradeship is in this boot camp, once this friendship is deeply formed, everyone has laid a brand in the boot camp, and from then on, no matter how far to the end of the world, this initial feeling will be deeply connected with everyone.

"Am I bad? To calculate this Liu Bei, who was praised by countless people in later generations, is there some despicability? Squatting in the corner of the wall, Lu Peng faced the wall and drew circles on the ground with branches.

"This is an era of survival of the fittest, this is an era of real heroes, the era of people not for themselves, the era of heaven and earth as the motto, is an era that completely subverts the ancient principles of doing things left by the Qin and Han dynasties, from the Three Kingdoms, the most believed by later generations is Cao Cao's sentence: "I would rather be responsible for the people of the world, not let the people of the world bear my dogma." ”

I don't want to be one of those righteous fools, I want to be a hero and achieve a career, so of course I have to think about myself everywhere, as for Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, he cut off his own beard first, and now there is no psychological burden at all. ”
