The Jiangxia and autumn harvest in the fifteenth year of Jian'an is still going on according to the previous practice.

Fortunately, in the past two years, God has also appreciated his face, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there have been no terrible natural disasters, and the entire land of Jingzhou has been a bumper harvest, including Nanjun.

And after the autumn harvest, things are divided into two steps.

Some people, led by Mi Zhu Jianyong, began to prepare for Liu Bei's wedding, while others, led by Zhang Xi Zhuge Liang, continued to stare at the tax collection after the autumn harvest.

Both sides are actually very busy, and Zhang Xi has lived in the government for several days, checking with Zhuge Liang the collection documents sent by the counties, and calculating the amount of money and grain until next year's spring ploughing.

But no matter how you calculate it, the money and food are not very enough.

Originally, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's idea was to expand the army to at least 50,000 soldiers and hoard grain and grass in various counties for more than half a year to meet unexpected needs.

But if it is hoarded like this, even if the wind and rain are good in the past two years, the people may face a shortage of green and yellow at the turn of spring and summer next year, and if the local officials do not handle it well, there may be a wave of displaced people.

In troubled times, the taxes of yeoman farmers alone really cannot support a warlord's ambition to expand his territory.

What's more, it has been more than 20 years since the war has been raging, and the population has decreased sharply, partly because of the troubled times, but more because the family has hidden Dingkou, to let these people spit out the hidden Dingkou, even Cao Cao is not too sure.

Liu Bei's foundation is still too thin, he has just occupied the land of Banzhou for less than two years, and even if there is a way to do many things, he can't do it immediately, he can only come slowly, take his time.

But at least Liu Bei is ambitious, although he said "Let's talk about it later", but some preparations for money and food have been made from now on.

If you have the strength and time to do these things later, but you don't have enough money and food. Then Liu Bei really wants to die unjustly.

But as soon as Liu Bei said this, there was one more thing in the mind of the big housekeeper.

Thanks to Zhuge Liang, ordinary people really can't arrange things so thoroughly.

However, Zhang Xi still persuaded Zhuge Liang, don't carry everything by yourself, be careful and tired.

Then Zhuge Liang said that what Zhang Xi said was very reasonable, so this matter about the transformation of the swamp into fertile land will be handed over to Zhang Xi to be responsible.

Of course, it is not required to do it immediately, just write a practical plan, and it is not that Zhang Xi is required to hand it in immediately, Zhang Xi has enough time to think about it and improve it, at least before next year's spring ploughing, the lord will not consider this matter.

Zhang Xi regretted what he was doing with this mouth at that time.

Zhuge Liang is not facing the "autumn of life and death" now, with so many helpers around him, this guy will not carry everything on his shoulders.

Zhang Xi has been through five years, and he has known Zhuge Liang for almost four years, and now he knows the face of this "prime minister" quite well.

Zhuge Liang is not a person who likes to hold on to power, and even speaking, while sharing the pressure on Liu Bei, he also pays attention to letting his colleagues share the pressure on him.

Zhang Xi looked back and thought about it carefully, when Liu Bei was full of talents in history, Zhuge Liang's sense of existence was not high, and he didn't feel like he was doing anything, either guarding the rear or on the way to the rear.

It's really not that Liu Bei doesn't value Zhuge Liang. The person who keeps the housekeeper is the one who trusts him the most.

And when did Zhuge Liang really get tired?!

After the Battle of Yiling.

There is no way, "the autumn of critical survival", Liu Bei's entrepreneurial ministers are almost withered, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others have all died, Jingzhou and Yiling two battles, and almost lost the entire Liu Bei Group's Mesozoic generals and elite soldiers, leaving Zhao Yun and Wei Yan still there, if he doesn't cheer up, Ji Han will be really dangerous.

It's not that Zhuge Liang wants to seize power, but in that case, he doesn't feel at ease with anyone.

But now, Zhang Xi thinks that this dead fish head is still thinking about it, let Pang Tong do more.

Hawkers, it can't be said that what Zhang Xi said is unreasonable, but Zhuge Liang really didn't plan to let Pang Tong do more government work.

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Pang Tong should be Liu Bei's "mastermind" now, but he is a little too wronged by him in government affairs.

It is Zhang Xi and Xu Shu who are now on Zhuge Liang's "blacklist".

These two people are all-rounders, but if it weren't for Jiangxia and Youjiangkou, it was too important, Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Bei was wasting talents.

Now, Xu Shu's side can't be arranged for the time being, but on Zhang Xi's side, Zhuge Liang didn't hesitate to add workload to Zhang Xi, and he didn't spare this guy because he was newly married.

Zhang Xi that depressed. He is really, more and more curious about Huang Yueying's appearance now.

No, your daughter-in-law is ugly, and I can understand that you hide in the county government and don't go home, but my daughter-in-law is a national beauty and fragrance, don't mention it, let's work.

He was busy until three days before Liu Bei's wedding, and Zhang Xi was put back into the mansion by Zhuge Liang.

The lord's wedding, the whole Xiakou was decorated with joy, and Liu Bei also ordered officials of all sizes to have a three-day holiday to have fun with the people.

In Xiakou City, in front of the mansions of Liu Bei's various subordinates, some food was put out to meet the lord's request to "enjoy with the people".

Zhangxi Mansion is naturally no exception.

Although I am running out of money, I can still supply a few buckets of rice, plus some greens and some water and wine. The people of this year can eat these things, which is already regarded as a treatment only available during the New Year.

The stall at the door of the house was naturally watched by Xiao Qibao, and Zhang Xi, under the help of Sun Shangxiang, put on his dress and went to Liu Bei's mansion to attend the wedding banquet.

Sun Shangxiang is also going.

But originally, Sun Shangxiang shouldn't have go.

But who made this lord the eldest lady of Koto, and it's okay.

"The trainer and I have known each other since childhood, studied together, practiced martial arts together, and are good sisters as concubines. This big wedding, how can you not go to congratulate each other?! ”

Well, my wife is still best friends with the Duchess for a while?!

"Madam, you said the name of the mistress. Call a trainer?! Foot trainer?! Zhang Xi's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he asked.

Sun Shangxiang was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly admonished, "The husband is cautious, the husband must not spread the matter of the girl's name, so as not to break the etiquette." ”

Sun Shangxiang was worried that she accidentally said Mrs. Xiao's name. The name of the boudoir is very important to the family, and only the husband himself can know.

One of the "six rites" is "asking for a name".

Sun Shangxiang naturally knew that the Jianghuai family represented the Bu family, and accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth, so he naturally had to tell his husband not to say it, so as not to make the Bu family feel ashamed.

But Zhang Xi doesn't care about this at all, what he cares about is that if Liu Bei marries a step trainer, then who is the Bu girl that Sun Quan married?!

That's not right, it's messed up.

Zhang Xi's stupid appearance, Sun Shangxiang, who was looking at it, was depressed for a while, and hurriedly pushed her husband.

It's not that he's jealous, it's just that if Zhang Xi is always in a daze from time to time, if he is seen, he still thinks that this person has a problem with his brain.

It didn't matter before, but not now, this fool is his husband.

Outside, Sun Shangxiang still pays great attention to maintaining her husband's face.

Zhang Xi also knew that he was a little shocked just now, so he quickly came back to his senses and set off with Sun Shangxiang to attend Liu Bei's wedding.

Although I don't know what medicine Sun Quan took wrong, but his wife can be Sun Shangxiang, why can't the lord's wife be a step trainer? !

And the foot trainer is good, he is a virtuous queen with a good reputation in history, such a person, at least he will not run rampant with the army, and he will not think about abducting Adou to Jiangdong. Hawkers, I can't think about it anymore, and I feel sorry for my wife anymore.

This is a good thing, anyway, it is Sun 100,000 who suffers, and Zhang Xi doesn't care how Sun 100,000 feels.
