After Chen Jin arrived in Xiangyang, he immediately found Zhuge Liang and settled accounts with him, and almost suffered a big loss. But Zhuge Liang was not at home, Liu Bei said that he had something to do temporarily and left, and he would come back in a few days. Chen Jin asked again, have you seen a particularly ugly person come in the past few days, Liu Bei said that he has seen it, but I don't know what talent he has, first let him go to a county to be a county commander to see, and then asked Chen Jin how he knew about this. Chen Jin smiled but did not speak.

Pang Tong was depressed after taking office, where to go, although Liu Bei would not treat him like Zhuge Liang, but he couldn't be assigned to a small county as soon as they met, this is too far from the ideal. So Pang Tong was unhappy, and borrowed wine all day to drown his sorrows, ignoring political affairs. As a result, Zhang Fei knew about this matter, and he was immediately furious, and immediately went to Pang Tong to settle accounts. After Chen Jin understood the situation, he was afraid that Zhang Fei would come blindly, so he persuaded Zhang Fei not to be impulsive, to figure out what was going on, and it was not too late to act rudely, Zhang Fei nodded and agreed. Chen Jin was still a little worried, so he simply came with Zhang Fei. After Zhang Fei came, Pang Tong was still asleep, Zhang Fei's temper couldn't help it, and he was about to sneak Pang Tong out, but Chen Jin hurriedly stopped him and asked the little official to hurry up and call Pang Tong out. Pang Tong walked out with sleepy eyes, and Zhang Fei immediately reprimanded Pang Tong. Chen Jin explained the ins and outs to Pang Tong, Pang Tong suddenly realized, and then Pang Tong smiled at Zhang Fei and said: "It's just a county town, what's so difficult to govern." Then he dealt with official business, and in less than a day, he solved the political affairs that had accumulated in the past month, and it was in good order. Zhang Fei was overjoyed, immediately apologized to Pang Tong, and promised to recommend Liu Bei immediately. After Liu Bei learned about this, he also regretted it, lamenting that he almost lost this great talent, and then promoted Pang Tong again.

Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

Spring is a busy season, and working people sow seeds in the spring and wait for the harvest in the fall. However, due to the war in Jingzhou last year, and the land turmoil, Jingzhou was in a worse situation, so the situation in Jingzhou at this time was not also good. For example, the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, and the phenomenon of frozen bones on the road are not uncommon in troubled times. In short, Jingzhou is in short supply! The solution to the food shortage is either to take it one by one or to plant it. But today, when the war has been going on for many years, people have been displaced, resulting in uncultivated land and barrenness, so no one has extra food, and even if there is, people will not necessarily lend it to you, because what is most lacking in this era, one is population, and the other is food. Everyone knows the importance of food, and naturally they will not receive it at will. If it doesn't work, then you have to plant it yourself. Then the problem arises again, heavy land needs land and manpower. It's okay to say that the land is a problem now, but the population is a problem!

...

In the conference hall, everyone was silent, and Chen Jin didn't know what the situation was because he came a little late, so he didn't speak. But there is always a moment to break the peace, and Zhuge Liang, as Liu Bei's chief strategist, must pay attention at this time.

Zhuge Liang said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to use the army to settle the fields, work in agriculture when the farming is busy, and then train again when the farming is free."

"Even so, there are still not enough people!" Pang Tong continued.

When Chen Jin saw Zhuge Liang coming back, he asked Jian Yong next to him: "When did he come back, what is this discussing?"

Jian Yong patiently helped Chen Jin answer them one by one.

Chen Jin understood it after hearing this. It turned out that there was a shortage of labor, and spring plowing could not be sustained, which could only lead to the barrenness of large areas of land. In this way, I am afraid that there will not be enough food for the coming year.

Liu Bei said: "Kong Mingke still has attention."

Zhuge Liang shook his head, Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong again, and Pang Tong also shook his head. Liu Bei looked at everyone, everyone bowed their heads in shame, and the council room fell silent again.

This is Chen Jin suddenly said in a loud voice: "I have attention."

Liu Bei was immediately overjoyed: "An Ji, hurry up."

"But I have one condition."
