He desperately clamored and kept provoking everyone to mess up.

He wrestled with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

He pleaded Han Hao and Ruan Yu to play a game of betting, and whoever loses has to drill the table to learn how to bark, and then watched Ruan Yu bark loudly under the table.

He pleaded Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to bet against each other, to see who ate chicken fast, and those who ate slowly had to take off their clothes, and finally Xu Huang took off only a crotch cloth, jumping around in the cold night, desperately begging for mercy.

He laughed wildly at the crowd as they scrambled together, then frantically poured himself wine and munched on fried chicken.

He's probably more stressed than everyone here, and he's doing more self-restraint than everyone here.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a window to let himself go to the fullest.

This is the window that everyone needs.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was tired.

Liu Bei sat alone on a soft cushion, leaning against the big tree in the courtyard, looking up at the curved moon in the sky, and there were bursts of shouts from the old men in his ears, which was quite pleasant.

I don't know when, the fragrant Han Ning floated to Liu Bei's side and stuffed a sweet pastry into his mouth.

"Your woman's banquet is over?"

Liu Bei smiled and took Han Ning's hand and asked Han Ning to sit beside him.

"No, they're all talking about the world, clothes, makeup, and those who have children are talking about children, and some people are talking directly about children's marriages, which is interesting."

"You are the hostess here, why don't you come to me when you don't go with them to lead the conversation and show the demeanor of the hostess? Tonight is supposed to be the time for you to give yourself a long face, let them tout you well. ”

"I miss you."

Han Ning stuck to Liu Bei's body and said softly with a smile: "I let Fluttershy deal with it over there, I was there, they surrounded me, always listening to them compliment me, I was a little tired of listening to them, their voices are not good, your voice is good." ”

"No one has ever said I have a good voice."

Liu Bei smiled: "My loud voice on the battlefield is a little hoarse, where is it good?" ”

"Others don't like to hear it, but I love to listen to it."

Han Ning also smiled: "No one's voice is as beautiful as yours, if you say a word in my ear, my whole body will be crispy." ”

"Like this?"

Liu Bei leaned close to Han Ning's ear and said softly, "Is your body crispy?" ”

"Crispy ......"

Han Ning said softly: "It's crispy." ”

"Wait, not tonight, I'll clean you up tomorrow night."

Liu Bei pinched Han Ning's face and hugged her into his arms with a smile.

Time passed slowly, the old day passed, the new day arrived, and the state officials in charge of the timekeeping shouted that the hour had come, and the voices of congratulations on the new year came and went in the state capital.

Liu Bei slowly picked up the wine glass beside him and handed it to Han Ning.

"Happy New Year, ma'am."

"People say congratulations, but you say happy."

Han Ning smiled, took the wine glass, and then handed it to Liu Bei's mouth, and said with a smile-

"Happy New Year."

This Chinese New Year's Eve meal is basically an all-night meal.

Han people, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, as long as there are conditions, are a family reunion, eating, drinking, chatting, playing games, all night long, basically not sleeping, until this crazy and cherished night is completely over, until the morning sun slowly rises the next day.

The madness of this night will come to an end after all, indulgence is not boundless, and the constraints of this world are from beginning to end.

So, the sun will also rise on time the next day.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the officials of the state pastoral government lined up to give gifts to Liu Bei one after another according to their ranks.

Then the people of the Hanyang County Guard Mansion took the lead of the County Guard Gaixun, and gave gifts to Liu Bei one after another.

Then there were gift-giving representatives sent by other county guards, who gave gifts to Liu Bei one after another on their behalf.

In the end, even Zhuodangqiang, who had just established contact, sent someone to send Liu Bei a New Year's gift, looking very sensible.

The gifts they gave were nothing special, but they were very particular.

The high status is mainly sent to gold and jade, and the low status is mainly to send some livestock and other things.

Those with high status and money, in addition to gold and jade, will also send a lot of other things, and hard currency such as brocade silk cloth is sent in boxes, so that Liu Bei can't see what kind of poor countryside and wild place Liangzhou is.

It can only be said that the rich people in any place are all the same rich, and no matter how poor the place is, there are also rich people, and they also live a refined life.

It's tacky to send five baht directly, and it looks like it's a lot more forceful to send silk brocade or something.

In addition, there are many local Haoqiang families, because they realized Liu Bei's huge deterrent power and huge power in Liangzhou, and they even gave Liu Bei herds of livestock, horses, cattle and sheep, dozens of heads and hundreds of heads, which can be regarded as gifts with Liangzhou characteristics.

And Liu Bei's willingness to accept their gifts made them very excited, if Liu Bei didn't accept them, I am afraid they would have to pick up and prepare to flee Liangzhou.

The soil emperor is so strong, and the officials are so strong.

These are all gifts they gave to Liu Bei personally, the amount is so large, the value is high, Liu Bei estimated a little, and felt that if all these things were converted into property to raise soldiers, based on the daily consumption expenditure of the army of more than 30,000 people under his command, he could eat an extra month or two of food.

Can there be such a big gap between one person, 36,000 people?

Maybe yes.

In the eyes of these people, the significance of giving all these belongings to Liu Bei is far more meaningful than letting 36,000 people eat a full meal for more than half a year.

It's not that rich people are reluctant to spend money, it's just that they are not willing to spend money for meaningless people, and they are not stingy when they encounter places worth spending.

After all, the more you give, the more you earn.

Liu Bei accepted all the gifts, and then picked a few representative knick-knacks from his cronies to keep, and handed over the rest to Zhen Yan to be included in the public account of the state pastoral mansion for official business and bonus expenses, and he had no reservations.

When the business of fine salt in Liangzhou is rolled out, Liu Bei himself will also get one percent of the benefits, and he will also be very rich, and he will not lack anything at that time.

Besides, he doesn't have that much material needs, and he has no interest in extravagant life, and he doesn't care about singing and dancing at all.

He still has things he wants to do but doesn't do them, and the main reason he needs money and other things now is to get things done.

Collective farms, salt mills, and other projects that require large-scale investment are being injected into the collective farms, which are gradually being rolled out and are on track.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not give himself much vacation during the New Year, he only rested for two days before returning to work, and he, the state pastor, put himself into work, and his subordinates had to return to work.

Guan Yu and the other five people implemented Liu Bei's requirements very well, and began to roll out the construction of collective farms in five counties except Hanyang County.

They sited, built, and restored the reclamation of abandoned land, so that people could settle in the local area and be included in the household registration of the local government.

During this period, Liu Bei sent people to observe the work progress and work status of the five of them, and found that Guan Yu's work status was the easiest, many things could be easily started, and the work progress was also among the best.

This is inseparable from his relatively high cultural literacy.

Zhang Fei's work progress is relatively slow, but once he changes the problem of being easy to get on the battlefield, he has become very cautious, paying great attention to asking experienced helpers around him, and not making decisions casually.

Dong Huang simply put himself in the position of a student, showing a very amazing humility and being taught, and he respected the government affairs team sent by Liu Bei to help him deal with government affairs, without the rude stereotype of Liangzhou martial artists at all.

Xiahou Yuan has his own views on government affairs, and has a lot of arguments with the team, but in the end, he can still admit reason in front of the iron-clad facts, is not stubborn, can admit mistakes, and is more open-minded.

Among the five newly appointed people, Liu Bei was most surprised by Xiahoudun.
