Less than half an hour after riding, Liu An came to the manor.

He found Jia Xu first, took him alone to the small courtyard prepared for himself by Xiahou Lan, entered the guest hall, closed the doors and windows, and told him about Guan Yu.

At the same time, Liu An also expressed his intention to recruit this person, and asked whether his way of dealing with it was appropriate.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Duke Ming know what other fetters are in the hometown of the strong man surnamed Guan?" ”

Liu An shook his head and said, "I don't know." However, I heard that he came out to take refuge with only his wife and children, and this person is very filial piety, so I think there should be no one else in the house, otherwise he would not have escaped alone. It's just that...... Xie County still has no friends, so there is no way to know. ”

"This matter still needs to be investigated clearly, if this person still has relatives and friends in Xie County, it is very likely that he will not return to Zhuo County after returning, on the contrary, he will not find a way out in Xie County, and returning to Zhuo County is the best choice, so he can also repay Ming Gong's kindness."

"If that's the former...... What should I do? Liu An was worried about this problem yesterday, but he didn't know how to solve it.

He definitely can't ask for retribution, that will only cause Guan Yu's disgust.

If he wanted to go back to Xie County, Liu An couldn't stop him no matter what, and any reason might lead to his failure to recruit Guan Yu.

And the dead Shika ...... With Guan Yu's arrogance, he will not easily admit his master, nor will he be forced by any threat, nor will he be tempted by any interests.

Liu An imagined that it would be impossible for Liu An to recruit Lu Bu and rely on valuable things to lure Guan Yu to take refuge.

He originally intended to seek Jia Xu's help, but when he brought it up at this time, Liu An took the opportunity to ask.

"If that's the case...... Jia Xu said this, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "Ming Gong can arrange for someone to ...... it in advance."

As he spoke, Jia Xu pointed at the knife and wiped it on his neck.

As Jia Xu expected, he saw Liu An frowning, and then said: "Of course, Xu Zhi Ming Gongding is unwilling to do this, and Xu still has three plans." ”

Liu An's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Sir, say it quickly, don't hang my appetite." ”

"First, continue to be gracious, since this person values righteousness, then feed him to the point where he can only repay the favor with the rest of his life. Second, cut off the possibility of him returning to his hometown, as long as the case is not overturned one day, this person will not be able to return to his hometown openly, let alone live in Xie County permanently. ”

After Jia Xu finished talking about the two plans, he paused, smiled indifferently, and then said: "As for the third plan, it is to go with the flow." If Ming Gong exonerates him, it will be a great favor to him. As the head of a county, Duke Ming takes such a fancy to this person, and the grace of knowing the encounter is enough to make any civilian surrender, not to mention that this person is still a righteous person. ”

Listening to Jia Xu give himself a look, Liu An's thoughts became clear.

Indeed, as long as there are no elders in Guan Yu's family to tie him up, as long as he throws an olive branch to him, with his kindness to him, he is very likely to agree to stay.

At best, after the charges are cleared, he will return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and then he will still return to Zhuo County.

However, Jia Xu's first strategy can be implemented, after all, Liu An was a fan of Guan Erye in his previous life, and if he has the opportunity, Liu An is happy to give more favors.

After figuring it out, Liu An said to Jia Xu: "Thank you, sir, I already know what to do." ”

Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

Then Liu An asked Lu Bu and Guan Yu, who were waiting outside the courtyard, to summon a group of high-level executives in the village to prepare for a summary meeting.

There are still more than ten days left, and it will be a year since Liu An came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the past year, it is time to take stock of what the Zhuoxian Manor has gained.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiahou Lan, Qu Ze, Zuo Wei, Feng Yan and others all came to the guest hall of Liu An's small courtyard, only Gao Sheng was transferred by Liu An to take the evidence of Chang Feng and others, and did not come.

In the guest hall, Liu An sat on the main seat at the top, and below him were a group of high-level officials led by Xia Houlan and Jia Xu, sitting on both sides.

While waiting, Liu An also asked the Zhuang people to visit the tables on both sides for some refreshments.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu An looked at Xiahou Lan, who was at the top of the left, and asked, "Fuzheng, you can first report the output of various crops last year." ”

"No!" As early as when Xia Houlan received Liu Anzhi's summons, she knew through Guan Yu that Liu An was going to summarize last year's harvest, so she went back to her residence and took a booklet to record various income and expenditures.

Opening the bamboo slip that recorded last year's crop harvest, Xia Houlan glanced at it and said like a few treasures:

"A total of 19 acres of potatoes were planted around last year, and a total of 1,160 stones were harvested, of which 60 stones were used as seeds in the second wave of planting, and now there are 1,100 stones of potatoes left in the village."

"A total of 100 acres of corn were planted before and after, and a total of 3,000 stones were harvested, all of which were sealed in the warehouse."

"A total of 60 acres of red peppers were planted before and after, and a total of 1,500 stones were harvested, except for the dried peppers sent to Bingzhou, the rest have all been ground into powder."

"A total of 80 acres of cotton were planted before and after, and a total of 1,360 stones were harvested, and now it is being handed over to the Zhuang people to play into usable cotton."

"A total of 20 acres of soybeans were planted, and a total of 240 stones were harvested."

"Spinach has been planted many times, and a total of 3,000 stone was harvested last year, but most of them have been sold or used for the Zhuang people to eat, and now there are only 400 stone of spinach left in the village."

"A total of 32 acres of sweet potatoes were planted before and after, and a total of 2,100 stones were harvested, all of which were sealed in the warehouse."

"A total of 70 acres of alfalfa were planted before and after, and a total of 31,500 stones were harvested, but most of them have been used for livestock breeding on the village, and they are still consumed in large quantities every day, and the remaining definite amount has not been counted."

"A total of 20 acres of carrots were planted, and 1,200 stones were harvested, which were also used for the villagers to eat according to the instructions of the owner, and now there are 300 stones left in the village."

After saying the data of various crops in one breath, Xia Houlan breathed a sigh of relief before saying: "The above is the harvest of all crops last year. ”

After listening to Xia Houlan's report, Liu An had only one feeling: This beast is too special to eat, right?

Alfalfa actually harvested more than 30,000 stones, which Liu An did not expect, and the highest yield turned out to be not potatoes, not sweet potatoes, but alfalfa.

And more than 30,000 alfalfa, most of which have been eaten by animals?

Liu An couldn't understand, that was more than 30,000 stones, what kind of concept?

Converted into a modern unit, it is 1.8 million catties, and the beasts are too edible, right?

However, Liu An planted alfalfa for animals to eat, and there was nothing to feel sorry for.

Then Liu An asked Xia Houlan again: "Fuzheng, tell me how the Zhuangren play cotton now, and how much cotton can each person play every day?" ”

"Hmm......" Xia Houlan pondered for a moment, feeling that the language description was not very clear, so she proposed to show Liu An how to play cotton.

Liu An nodded in agreement, and Xiahoulan went out to prepare, and after a while, Xiahoulan brought two people back.

On it together
