Chapter 1 Wolong out of the mountain

Jingzhou, Nanyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, Liu Bei left Wancheng with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and looked in the direction of Wollongong.

Since three years ago, after receiving the criticism of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks from Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui to settle the world, this is the third time Liu Bei has visited the door in the past three years.

Wolong and phoenix chicks, phoenix chicks are nowhere to be found now, and when Jingxiang scholars mention it, they are all secretive, but Liu Bei knows that this phoenix chick voted for Lu Bu.

It's hard to imagine, obviously a child of a family, why do you want to help the abuse?

But this matter, Liu Bei can't control it, the first two visits to Wollongong, although he failed to get Wolong's help, but it was not completely without gain, Cui Zhouping and Shi Tao were taken by Liu Bei.

Unlike Liu Bei at the same time in history, Nanyang has been developed by Liu Bei for five years, and with the advantage of being close to the water, Liu Bei has tightened his belt and bought a large number of things from Lu Bu that can expand people's livelihood, from windmills and waterwheels to looms and seeds.

I have to say that although Lu Bu is regarded as a great enemy, some of Lu Bu's concepts still have a great influence on Liu Bei, enriching the people and strengthening the country!

Now the population in Nanyang has recovered a lot, and the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's hands have also expanded from 3,000 soldiers and horses to 30,000 in that year.

At present, Liu Bei, if he talks about the martial arts under his command, is enough to be regarded as a prince all the way, but Liu Bei still hopes that he can recruit Wolong, a top talent, to give advice to himself.

"Big brother, what kind of bullshit Wolong is such a big shelf, I waited a few times to invite him, but I avoided it, if he doesn't come out again this time, I will lose his bullshit grass house!" In the snow, stepping on the thick snow, Zhang Fei shook his arms dissatisfied, now Liu Bei is not in vain, I have the military power of Nanyang and Jiangxia in my hands, and my command is also full of talents, Wen has Ma Liang, Shi Tao, Cui Zhouping, all of them are enough talents to govern one side, not to mention martial arts, Guan Yu Zhang Fei, famous all over the world, although Chen Zhi is not famous, his ability is never under Guan Zhang.

Although he is still attached to Liu Biao, who dares to ignore Liu Bei when he looks at the world?

"yes, big brother." Guan Yu followed Liu Bei's side, but this time, he also stood on Zhang Fei's side, frowning and said: "Then Mr. Wolong is too rude, don't be such a person." ”

Liu Bei looked at the snow in his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "Since he is a wise man, he has his own virtuous demeanor, if it is too easy to invite him, how can he be called a wise man?" ”

"Brother, you're wrong, Cui Zhouping, Shi Tao, that's not a wise man, and it's not so difficult to invite them?" Zhang Fei smiled disdainfully.

"But Cui Zhouping and Shi Tao both said that Kong Ming's talent is far better than them." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"These are all polite words, brother, how can there be such a capable person in the world." Zhang Fei waved his hand.

"Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't." Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei dissatisfiedly and said, "Third brother, if you make any more noise, go back first, Yun Chang and I will go and ask Mr. Wolong to come out of the mountain." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he snorted sullenly, but he stopped talking, and he could feel that Liu Bei was a little unhappy in his heart, and if he continued to talk about it, maybe he would really be driven back.

The three of them are also familiar with the grass house, and they came to the grass house with a light car, and saw that the boy who was guarding the grass hall was about to enter the door, after three years, the former child has now grown into an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

"Does the boy still recognize us?" Zhang Fei stopped the boy, and his thick voice shook the eyes of all directions.

"I've seen Uncle Liu." The boy ignored Zhang Fei and bowed to Liu Bei.

"No need to be polite." Liu Bei took two steps forward, helped the boy up, looked inside the door, looked at the boy with some expectation, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Wolong is here today?" ”

"Uncle Huang came just in time, my husband just came back yesterday, but he had a banquet with a few friends last night and drank a few more glasses, and he has not woken up from a hangover, and Uncle Huang is afraid that he will have to wait for a while." The boy bowed.

"It's okay, I'll wait outside the door." Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile.

"This makes Uncle Huang a distinguished guest, if my husband wakes up and knows about this, he will definitely blame me, Uncle Huang should go into the courtyard and wait." The boy said.

"What's the difference between that and waiting outside?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this.

"Yes, there are grass pavilions in the yard, as well as tables and stools." The boy rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei, and then stretched out his hand to Liu Bei and said, "Uncle Huang, please." ”

"It's freezing this day, let my brother wait for him in the yard? What a big shelf! Zhang Fei snorted.

"Yide, don't be rude!" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei, and took Guan Yu into the grass house under the leadership of the boy, Zhang Fei snorted twice, and had to follow.

"Uncle Huang is here to rest for a while, if there is anything, you can call me." After the boy arched his hand to Liu Bei, he said goodbye and left.

Liu Bei is not in a hurry, to be honest, he has been waiting for three years, are you still afraid of a little more time? Sitting on the chair, while admiring the surrounding snowy scene, he smiled at Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, has there been any news from Chang'an recently?" ”

If eight years ago, Cao Cao was regarded by Liu Bei as the biggest enemy in this life, then eight years later, this attention has gradually shifted from Cao Cao to Lu Bu, as the closest prince to Lu Bu, Liu Bei is very aware of the horror of his neighbor today, with the Juntian system in these years, Lu Bu has spared no effort to publicize it, and a large number of displaced people have migrated to Guanzhong Sanfu.

Even if Liu Bei is doing well in Nanyang, but in the past five years, he has gone a lot one after another, not to mention the land of Yingchuan, the family is seriously exploited, even if Yingchuan is too heavily guarded to prevent the flow of displaced people to Guanzhong, but the people close to the land of Heluo, in five years, half of them have been lost.

What is the situation of other places bordering Lu Bu, Liu Bei doesn't know, but he doesn't think it will be better than his own.

Liu Bei can have today's prosperity, but he has learned a lot of Lu Bu's methods, although he will not provoke the family, but the land controlled in the hands of the government is directly leased to the people by the government.

Speaking of which, this is also thanks to Lu Bu's large-scale migration of Nanyang's population, which made a large number of families in Nanyang move south, making the land of Nanyang and the family wither, so that Liu Bei has fewer constraints in the process of development, and therefore, Liu Bei's many policies towards Chang'an can be said to be the most eager, even if he can't copy them, he will discuss with a group of strategists under his command how to use them here.

"It's not a big deal, Lu Bu has been busy with the township school recently, and the paper books have recently been sold to the Central Plains." Guan Yu shook his head and said.

"I guess it's full again." Liu Bei smiled bitterly, although he also thought about following Lu Bu's example to run a school and publish books, but he was unanimously opposed by his advisers, the reasons were very complicated, in short, the family did not support this move.

"That's not, it is said that Chang'an Bookstore has made a new breakthrough in technology, the speed of book printing is more than ten times faster than in the past, it is rumored that Chang'an Academy has been full of books, so it will be sold to Kanto, I have asked someone to buy a few steps of the Analects, Spring and Autumn and the Three Character Scripture, for the enlightenment of Xing'er, it is said that a three-character scripture only costs two big money, Spring and Autumn Period, the Analects are more expensive, but it is only ten big money, not to say that the family is wealthy, that is, ordinary people, can also afford it." Guan Yu shook his head and said.

"What does that mean?" Liu Bei frowned, books were popularized on Lu Bu's side, but they were monopolistic on the Kanto side, as long as Lu Bu was willing, even if the price increased tenfold and hundredfold, there were people who were willing to buy it, and the most expensive was only ten big dollars, which was inevitably cheaper.

"Lu Bu is not selling books, but buying the hearts of the world's poor families!" With a sigh, a figure appeared outside the grass house, with red lips and white teeth, eight feet tall, a face like a crown of jade, wearing a feather coat, a feather fan in his hand, and three locks of long hair under the remains.

"But Mr. Wolong?" Seeing the comer, Liu Bei hurriedly got up, stepped forward and bowed, and asked.

"Caomin's surname is Zhuge again, a single name is a bright word, the table word Kong Ming, thanks to the wrong love of the emperor's uncle, not a meager identity of Liang, three visits to the thatched house, Wolongzhi said, don't mention it again." Zhuge Liang shook his head and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Where is the gentleman, I heard Mr. Shuijing say that Wolong and Phoenix Chicks can settle down in the world, and it is a blessing to see Mr. today." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to help Zhuge Liang up and said with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. just said that Lu Bu is buying the hearts of the world's poor families, what do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, two generals, please talk inside." ”

"Thank you, sir." Liu Bei bowed slightly, took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to follow Zhuge Liang into the grass house, and after the guest and host sat down, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. hasn't solved his doubts yet." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Uncle Huang should know, it is not easy for a scholar from a poor family to study, in the past, if a scholar from a poor family wants to study, he needs to borrow and copy from others, not to mention the cumbersome, and he also owes a favor to an old man, now Lu Bu sells books at a low price in Kanto, if a scholar from a cold family wants to study again, he does not have to ask for a family to be, and in the long run, the world's poor family will return to his income." ”

"This ......" Liu Bei didn't expect this trick to have such an effect, and he couldn't help but lament in his heart, he had already had this intention, but he was stopped by his strategists, if he had been prepared, this favor of the world's cold door would not have been obtained by him Liu Bei, when the time comes, why worry about not coming? Hurriedly looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

"This is a conspiracy, all the families in the world can see it, but no one dares to touch it, Lu Bu spent five years paving the way, and now the princes of the world join forces, and they can't resist." Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed. (To be continued.) )
