On the main hall of the Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion

Liu Biao's birthday banquet was held as scheduled, and everyone 'gathered' together and was celebrating 'happily', but they didn't want Zhang Songgang to put forward Liu Xiu's name and talk about Chu Hou's ability

Liu Xiu brought Xiao Kun'er and the four major civil and military forces, and entered the palace with the momentum of the Quartet, and even took advantage of Xiao Kun'er's on-the-spot performance and high-end birthday gift to slightly redeem his own decline in Liu Biaona!

At the same time, Liu Biao's birthday banquet has finally entered the most enthusiastic and peak moment!

Regarding the 'Maritime Silk Road' asked by Zhang Song, although Liu Xiu did not have much expression on his face, his heart was full of flowers

Although Xiao Kun'er's seemingly 'big words' declaration and noble birthday gift have won everyone's admiration and appreciation, after all, it is not about 'family and country affairs', so it will only be regarded as an interesting and trivial matter by most people

However, the question raised by Zhang Song pushed Liu Xiu to the status of Zhang Qian and his 'hollow journey'! It has played a vital role in Liu Xiu's promotion of his own name, his own gains, and his own abilities

And Liu Xiu directly led the answer to the livelihood of the Han Dynasty--- food!

It is an eternal truth that the people regard food as the sky, and everyone present knows it

"Therefore, this time Benhou went north, in addition to congratulating his father's birthday, he also planned"

Liu Xiu finished the introduction of the 'Maritime Silk Road' and was about to make a statement to attract the hearts of everyone in the palace

But he didn't want to, and before he could speak, he was interrupted

"Humph! Hum! The second son speaks so lightly! Overseas countries?! New grain?! This so-called 'Maritime Silk Road' is just what you say, who has really seen it? Who has really been there?! ”

"Dare to talk about the Otsuki clan?! Who doesn't know here that the Dayue Clan is going to the northwest from Xiliang, Chang'an and other places, passing through the Western Regions, before they can arrive?! ”

"And Chu Hou, you said, go south to the sea, pass through those overseas foreign countries that everyone doesn't know about, and then go to the Dayue Clan!"

"So, isn't it a fool's dream?! Or, is the second son going to use these words to trick me into waiting?! ”

A hurried and angry word woke up the crowd

Look at the person who spoke, he had a good knowledge, but he didn't expect it to be the military general Cai Mao!

Everyone didn't think what Cai Mao said was wrong, after all, everyone present knew that the sky is round, and the place that can only be reached from the north can be reached, how can it be reached from the south? !

After a pause, Cai Mao continued to question: "There is also the so-called new grain, some people may have seen it, but who knows if it is a unique food in a remote place in the south, maybe it can't be grown or grown in other places, and it is still useless in the end!" ”

Cai Mao's questioning seems to be quite recognized by everyone, but no one has spoken out against it

And just when everyone was about to see Liu Xiu's jokes, Liu Xiu didn't think that Cai Mao, a military general with little ability, actually said these words, his eyes closed and opened, probing the past:

Cai Mao, the word Degyu, commander: 70, martial arts: 70, resourcefulness: 60, politics: ??;

It's okay!

When Liu Xiu saw the data, he couldn't help muttering, but when the words came to his lips, they immediately turned into laughter that resounded through the hall:

"Hahaha"

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”

Everyone listened to Liu Xiu's laughter, and only felt in their hearts: Is it really fake?!

But the next moment

"Since General Cai knows that no one has seen it, he can't say whether it's true or not, so how do you know that after going to sea, you can't go to the Dayue Clan?! Could it be that General Cai has ever gone to sea?! ”

"Or, did General Cai go out to Xiliang? Been to the Western Regions? Know how the Otsuki clan goes? ”

"What's more, my Han has four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, so can't the Dayue clan have it?"

Liu Xiu did not directly answer Cai Mao's question, but asked a question and a question back!

When Cai Mao heard this, her face turned pale and pale, and she seemed to be a little biased? !

And Liu Xiu still continued: "As for food, my Han people mainly eat rice, noodles, wheat and bean cakes, etc., but how does General Cai know that Dayue's and other places also feed on this?!" ”

"Why can't Ben Hou bring back the food of the Otsuki clan and other foreign lands to the people?!"

Liu Xiu's face turned pale when Cai Mao asked rhetorically, and everyone in the hall nodded in agreement with Liu Xiu at this time

Then, Liu Xiu still didn't stop, continued to show off his broad cognitive knowledge, and continued the wooing behavior that was interrupted by Cai Mao just now!

"Benhou has opened up the 'Maritime Silk Road', and has played an extremely good role in the development of clothing, food, housing and transportation for the people of Jingnan and Jiaozhou, and even the people of Nanzhong! Although he didn't dare to say that the people under Ben Hou don't close their doors at night, Ben Hou at least dared to pat his chest and say loudly that there are few people under Ben Hou's rule who lack food and clothing! ”

The more Liu Xiu spoke, the more excited he became, and even waved his hands, and continued loudly: "The people of Jingnan Prefecture, if they can't afford to raise children, Benhou will raise them for them, and if they can't afford to eat, Benhou will give them fields!" ”

"Even, Ben Hou can promise that if you want new grain seeds, Ben Hou can easily give them! No strings attached! ”

"Even if we wait for the soldiers to fight each other in the future, Ben Hou will never regret it!"

"My Han Dynasty is full of fires, and the people are miserable, and Ben Hou only hopes that this little favor can really help the people under your rule! Let the dwellers have their houses, the sick have their doctors, the diligent have their jobs, the laborers have their gains, the young have their learning, the weak have their help, and the old have their support! ”

Liu Xiu raised his head and looked down at everyone, speaking bold words, exuding a strong momentum all over his body, overpowering everyone in the hall

Under Liu Xiu's authority, everyone could only look up, sigh, and be ashamed

Liu Xiu paused for a moment, his majestic eyes looked around the hall, and everyone, whether it was Zhuge Kongming, who was wise and close to the demon, Liu Bei, who was benevolent and virtuous, or the three elders who had excellent knowledge, all retreated slightly under Liu Xiu's overlook!

Liu Xiu still didn't stop, and continued to point to a map of the Han Dynasty in the hall and said: "Today's Han Dynasty, the beacon fire is everywhere, the princes of the heroes, the Central Plains is rich, but I don't know that there are people outside the people, there is a sky outside the sky, even if the foreign country is indeed remote, but outside the Han Dynasty, there are still powerful countries looking around!" Small country like a forest! The land is fertile! Population gathering! ”

"And as Xiao Kun'er said, my ambition is also to open the Han Dynasty for thousands of years! Not just guarding the Central Plains today! Today's big man! ”

"I want a big man, standing on the top of a strong country! Head of the nations! ”

"If you do Wei Huo's thing again, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

Liu Xiu's blood boiled

The oath of 'even if it is far away, it will be punished' continues to reverberate in the main hall, infecting everyone in the hall, and even outside the hall, infecting more people and soldiers

Far away! Far away!
