Fa Zheng was shocked, Guo Jia was stunned, and even the dying and old Liu Yan was a little beastly blood boiling. Liu Zhang knew that today's words had raised the loyalty of everyone under his command to a high level. But Liu Zhang didn't mind, in their hearts, dropped another bombshell.

"Gentlemen, Gaozu created the foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, is he great?" Liu Zhang looked at everyone and asked with a smile on his face.

Zhang Song said with a smile: "If Gaozu is not great, what other emperor can compare with it?" ”

"Yongnian, in my opinion, Gao Zu is a little childish!" The smile on Liu Zhang's face was even stronger.

"What do you mean by that?" Even Liu Yan was a little puzzled.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "After Gaozu ruled the world, he once swore an oath to kill the white horse: no king unless surnamed Liu, and no marquis if he is not a hero." In my opinion, when Gao Zu said this, it was obviously a petty family. If I swear an oath with the world, I will say: I can't be a marquis unless I expand my land for thousands of miles, and I can't be a king if I don't expand my land for thousands of miles! As for expanding the land for millions of miles, that is, the emperor is far away, even if he wants to be the emperor, I may not be able to manage it! ”

"The lord is domineering!" It is everyone's hope to be crowned a marquis, but if you can be crowned a king, who doesn't want to? Expanding the land for millions of miles can be called the emperor, and everyone laughs at most. can expand the land for thousands of miles and seal the king, so that everyone's hearts begin to tremble.

"It's not that I'm domineering, but I know how big the world is!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "There is a Han generation, starting from Emperor Wen, those princes and kings have been restless. In that case, why let them stay in Dahan to make trouble! Have the ability, go out to play, and bully your own people at home are counted as birds? ”

Shock! Liu Zhang's words stunned everyone. Indeed, in the Han generation, all the princes and kings set their sights on the Central Plains, but outside the Central Plains, no one cared!

"The south is despicable and the miasma is desolate, and the eastern part of Liaodong is desolate, and the further you go to the north and south, the more difficult it is to survive?" Fa Zheng looked puzzled, after all, he was only fifteen years old, and his knowledge was not broad enough. However, the people of the Han Dynasty still said that the sky is round and the earth is round, and if Liu Zhang told them that the earth is round, they will probably not believe it.

Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Xiaozhi, you said that it is difficult for the north and south to survive, but don't the barbarians, Shanyue, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other foreign tribes live well?" ”

"This..."Fa Zheng was dumbfounded, and said with a look of disbelief: "Those foreigners originally grew up there, and they can naturally survive, we Han people..."

"Wrong!" Liu Zhang Zhengse said: "We Han people are greater than those foreign races, why can't we adapt to the climate there?" In the cold, we wear more clothes; In the heat, we can store ice to cool off. After ten or eight years, one generation and two generations, won't we Han people conquer there? As for the question of food, there are specialties even in the land of foreign despicability. Exchanging cattle and horses for food, communicating with each other, you can live a good life without it! What's more, we can find some crops that are delicious and can be grown in cold places to use as food! ”

"It's... Is there such a thing? Fa Zheng looked puzzled.

"I haven't looked for it, how do you know if you haven't?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It's like the grains we eat and the medicines we use to cure diseases, not all of them are found by Shennong little by little, so that there is a legend that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs." If Shennong can, why can't we? Shennong can find grains, but we can't find other grains? When people are hungry, grass roots and bark can satisfy their stomachs, not to mention other plants! ”

"What the lord says is reasonable!" Fa Zheng is also a wise man, but he reads too much and his thinking is a little imprisoned. However, he was a young man after all, and Liu Zhang only opened a gap for him, and he immediately broke out of the cocoon.

Liu Zhang looked at Fa Zhengdao with great satisfaction: "Xiaozhi, I let you and Feng Xiao be in charge of intelligence at the same time, it's not that I don't trust you, but I need too much information, and one person can't be busy at all!" Not only the enemy's intelligence, but also the officials' livelihood, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation. Many people are arguing whether the country is rich and the people are strong, or the people are rich and the country is strong, I can tell you that only when the people are rich, the country can be strong! ”

Fa Zheng asked: "My lord, there are lazy surnames in people, and if the people are rich, they will often ignore the country!" ”

"Then what do you want Daru to do?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, not to say that it is difficult to govern the country, but to say that all aspects need to be matched." The ancients had a saying: Etiquette is enough to know etiquette. If you can't get enough to eat, what are you talking about patriotism? While feeding the people, we also need to provide universal education. Let the people be able to read, read, know etiquette, and be patriotic! When the people understand the laws and policies of the state, those officials who want to fool the people become wishful thinking. The people know that they are loyal and patriotic, and officials cannot be unscrupulous, and the country will naturally prosper! ”

"What the lord said is very true!" Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhang's face, with appreciation and convincing in his eyes. Don't look at Guo Jia has been following Liu Zhang for several years, today he can really serve Liu Zhang.

"The old man is old!" Looking at Liu Zhang, who was talking eloquently, Liu Yan looked relieved. If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for? However, Liu Yan is also a little puzzled, where did Liu Zhang learn these things? Cai Yong? Liu Yan is very familiar with him, he definitely doesn't have these skills? Could it be Tong Yuan? Liu Yan was thinking nonsense on the side, and couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong with Teacher Tong?" Hearing Liu Yan's question, Liu Zhang couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Liu Yan smiled: "I'm thinking, my son has such knowledge, I don't know who I learned from, can it be that Tong Yuan!" If it is really him, then Tong Yuan can be described as a pedantic genius! ”

"Not a master!" Zhao Yun frowned and said: "The lord is my senior brother, and what the master taught him has also taught me!" ”

Liu Yan smiled: "Won't the child teacher tell Zhang'er more?" ”

"No, the master is the fairest, and he will never teach more because of preference!" Zhao Yun's face was serious, so that Liu Yan had to believe it.

"Father, don't guess! Actually, I've known these things since I was a child! Liu Zhang shrugged his shoulders, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Since childhood?" Liu Yan asked very suspiciously, "When?" ”

Liu Zhang said: "I knew it when I was born! I don't know if my father remembers, I didn't speak for five years? ”

"Naturally remember!" Liu Yan smiled: "I have been puzzled about this matter for a long time. However, you say that you are too lazy to speak! ”

"It's really too lazy to speak!" Liu Zhang smiled: "Whoever has a lot of inexplicable things in his head, he will not be too lazy to speak!" ”

"You mean—" Liu Yan's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, why should my father be surprised!" ”

"That's just as well!" Liu Yan nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Since ancient times, there have been countless strange people. Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve, Xiang Lu was the teacher of Confucius at the age of seven, and Liu Zhang knew some things that others didn't know since he was a child, and he was not too out of line. Liu Yan is bland, and others don't think so.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others followed Liu Zhang very early, and they watched Liu Zhang develop step by step, and Liu Zhang also regarded them as brothers. Now that they know that Liu Zhang was born to know, they are not only more loyal, but also much more respectful.

Seeing that Guo Jia and the others had changed their demeanor, Liu Zhang didn't want to be estranged from them. So Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Everyone, even if I was born to know, it's nothing!" Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

"Lord..."Guo Jia and the others were excited, and it felt very good to be recognized!

"Zilong, Yide, I still like to hear you call you big brother!" Liu Zhang's face was full of smiles, which made Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei very moved.

"Big brother..."Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun shouted very excitedly, making Guan Yu on the side a little jealous.

Seeing Guan Yu's expression change slightly, Liu Zhang pressed one hand on his shoulder and said: "You are older than me, if you are called eldest brother, it seems a little inappropriate, and I am your lord, if I call you eldest brother, I guess you will not dare to agree." But in my heart, you have always been my brother. ”

"The lord..."Guan Yu, who was still a little envious of Zhao Yun and the others just now, immediately leaned down and bowed: "How can a certain virtue make the lord so loving..."

"Yun Chang doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Zhang helped Guan Yu up and said: "Although we can't be called brothers, in your heart, you can treat me as a younger brother!" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Guan Yu was born at the grassroots and is a fugitive, Liu Zhang can make him a general, and he is already promoted. Now that Liu Zhang is a brother and brother to him, he is really a little ashamed of himself.

"Cloud Chief!" Liu Zhang shouted: "You are my proud brother, there is nothing to dare, hold your chest, don't let me down!" ”

"Yes, my lord!" Guan Yu burst into tears, and two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.

You must know that Guan Yu in history was extremely proud, in fact, this is also a manifestation of his inferiority. Born from the grassroots and a fugitive, this has always been a scar in Guan Yu's heart. In order to cover up this scar, Guan Yu sealed his heart and used his arrogant appearance to reject others thousands of miles away.

Guan Yu is a talented general, and Liu Zhang gradually found that with the promotion of Guan Yu's official position, he became more and more arrogant. Without Taoyuan righteousness, Liu Zhang didn't know if Guan Yu would be as loyal to him as he was to Liu Bei in history. But Liu Zhang didn't want Guan Yu to be as arrogant as in history, so that he died on top of arrogance, which is a pity!

The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and took the opportunity that everyone thought that Liu Zhang was born to know, Liu Zhang not only wanted to win the hearts of everyone, but also wanted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, generals who obviously had psychological defects, to overcome those defects in order to achieve perfection.

As for Guo Jia and other strategists, Liu Zhang knew that they were not so easy to fool, and they could only use their ability and trust to subdue. However, Liu Zhang seems to have underestimated the ancients' belief in ghosts and gods, that is, Guo Jia, who was also flickered by his nonsense.

"Report!" Just when Liu Zhang and everyone were immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of the monarch and the minister, the shouting of a small school broke this harmony.

"What's going on?" Seeing that the atmosphere he had finally brewed was broken, Liu Zhang couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

The little colonel saw Liu Zhang glaring at him, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to bite the bullet and handed a piece of information to Liu Zhang: "Lord Qi, General Huang has a letter!" ”
