Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Banquet

That night, Liu Bei set up a banquet to clean the dust all the way for Ye Hui.

It is said to be a big feast, but in fact, there are many dishes, less wine and meat, and it is quite simple.

It seems that although Uncle Liu Huang is not in a shortage of troops at this time, the urgent need for grain and grass really cannot be delayed.

"Sir, please."

"I'm tired of Uncle Huang's reception." Ye Hui raised his hand and drank it all in the cup.

"Where, but now my situation is not afraid of Mr. jokes, it is really not optimistic. I don't know if this coarse tea and light rice is suitable for Mr.'s taste, please understand. Treat Mr. well on another day. Liu Bei came up with a sad face.

"Uncle Huang's words. You and I close the door to our own family, and Kong Ming still has to work hard to take care of him. Ye Hui didn't know if Liu Bei was really bitter and the wine was in his throat and his heart hurt, or if he pretended to show his expression.

Although he wanted to help Liu Bei Xiaodu in his predicament this time, the main reason was that according to Ye Hui's own inner Xiao Jiujiu, the main reason was that he hoped that history could roughly follow the original, and not change it because of himself.

If the timeline really changes like a butterfly effect because of Ye Hui's crossing, even if he is the only one who knows about this matter, well, the system is not a person, but if such a major event happens, it is still unacceptable to him.

Therefore, this trip not only had to maintain the weak Shu forces and maintain the momentum of the Three Kingdoms as much as possible, Ye Hui also wanted to spy on Liu Bei's inner thoughts.

"Don't talk about what you don't take care of, Kong Ming is used by me, helping me a lot, and now I thank you for your support, sir. I, Liu Xuande, just don't know how to thank you for my apprentice. Liu Bei stood up and said.

"Uncle Huang doesn't want to be like this, I don't want to hide it, I don't want to be a grass farmer, I just want to hide in the world and be that idle cloud and wild crane. The terrible thing is that the big war is imminent, and I feel that I can't sit idly by and do my best to help the people. Ye Hui hurriedly got up and saluted, and gently supported Liu Beidao.

Liu Bei sat down and took two bites of food and smiled: "That's nature." Sir, this is not a great ambition, but it has already contained all the people in our hearts, and it is beyond our reach. ”

Ye Hui smiled without saying a word, staring down at his own dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Bei continued: "Xuande's ambition is also the same as that of Mr., just to unify the world and no longer let the people suffer poverty. ”

"If Uncle Huang unifies the world, how does he plan to realize the great cause of living in peace for all people?"

"First of all, the land is governed."

"Where does this 'land governance' begin?"

"Some of the land-based places in the north are about a bumpy distance, and the dragon king is not willing to go, so there is little rain all year round, and the farmland often has no harvest; Some southern water-facing counties and cities are adjacent to the Longwang's house, so there are always some floods every year. Liu Bei paused for a moment, swallowed his saliva and continued, "The so-called 'governing the land', my humble opinion is to dig canals in these places, so as to divert water to the dry land, and to solve the flood caused by excessive rainfall. ”

"Good!" Ye Hui applauded, and was also surprised by Liu Bei's intelligence, there was the idea of "South-to-North Water Diversion" in such a long time, and it was really extraordinary.

"It's so beautiful! And the canal could be opened larger, so that ships could pass and speed up the delivery of materials that were inconvenient to transport by land. Ye Hui added.

"Sir is truly a man of God! Liu only needs to mention a small idea that has not been formed, and Mr. can go deeper on this foundation. Come, drink! ”

Ye Hui raised his glass in response: "I also hope that Uncle Huang will achieve the great cause of reunification as soon as possible and benefit Dawn!" ”

Liu Bei nodded: "That's!" Borrow Mr. auspicious words. ”

……

Back in the living room arranged by Liu Bei, Ye Hui lay on the bed and recalled the staggered bargaining at today's banquet, and secretly warned himself to drink in moderation next time, thinking that he would have a headache again tomorrow, and Shang Xiang and Diao Chan were not around to serve. Alas, it has been a few days since I left, and I don't know how the second daughter is doing.

That's fine.

No longer think about children's personal affairs.

Ye Hui felt that the current situation still did not allow him to giggle.

It is not difficult to protect oneself in troubled times, and it is not difficult to save one person, but it is not easy to save as many thousands of people as possible on the premise of ensuring the correct direction of history.

Liu Bei's idea of 'governing the land' first tonight really impressed him, but it was difficult to ensure that there was no other thing in it.

In this person's heart, there is a lot of love for the people, and the so-called restoration of the Han family is mostly for the sake of the soldiers dying to him, what is the real thought? Is it really that tempting to dominate the world?

I don't understand. After all, Ye Hui is not a person of this era, but he wasted his good skills in fighting and killing.

Go to bed early, maybe sleeping longer will ease some of tomorrow's headaches.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, the rooster crowed three times, and Ye Hui got up on time to wash and change clothes.

Sure enough, I had a splitting headache.

Today is the day to open a warehouse and revitalize grain, but there can be no slackness.

After having breakfast with Liu Guanzhang and the others, several people made a little determination about the details of the grain release.

"This time, I brought an army that is expected to last 100,000 people to eat food and grass for a month." Ye Hui said.

"Is that true, sir?" Liu Bei was surprised and delighted, "Where is the grain and grass at the moment?" ”

Ye Hui and Kong Ming looked at each other and smiled, and did not reply.

Liu Bei only knew day and night that Ye Hui had brought a lot of relief on this trip, but he never asked how much he had brought and where the grain and grass were placed.

didn't care about the ridicule of the master and apprentice, so he had to follow the two excitedly at a loss.

"Go down and tell a few good-looking soldiers to gather the people here, and say, 'Mr. Shui Jing and Lord Liu have opened a warehouse here to put grain, and whoever comes can get enough food for three days with their heads.' Zhuge Liang pulled a small general.

"Why are there only three days' worth of food? Wouldn't it be a lot of trivial things to distribute directly for a week? Liu Bei was puzzled.

"There are three reasons: one is that it will not be too much to say more in three days, and it will not be less to say less, which is a frequency that everyone is comfortable with. Of course, this is a small aspect. Second, I am afraid that if there is too much distribution, there will be private transactions between the people, and those with weak funds may still not have enough to eat. Third, the number of people can be determined according to the amount of grain released every three days. In order to prevent the population of the city from swelling excessively, we must set up soldiers to set up checkpoints at each entrance according to this number to control the population. ”

Liu Bei listened to the clouds, and he didn't know how to answer, so if he didn't answer, he seemed to have disrespect for Mr. Shuijing; Pick it up, and I feel like my brain is not enough.

Ye Hui didn't pay attention to Liu Bei, who was entangled, and only looked at the people who kept coming in the distance, but it was not a black oppression, but it was also crowded, only a lot more than yesterday.

"I don't know how long it will last."
