Hearing that Zhuge Jin had also figured out a trick to deceive Lu Bu, Liu Bei's worries finally relaxed.

At present, the drift gillnet can allow Liu Beijun to catch hundreds of stones more every day, and the follow-up potential should not be underestimated. If you only exchange 20,000 stone of grain at one time, it will be too big and useless.

And Liu Bei also discovered a new slot - Ziyu was able to figure out some new technologies just to cast smoke bombs......

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "I don't know what the effect of this new method of 'random thinking' is, can it deceive Lu Bu?" You won't let him take advantage of him too much, will you? ”

Zhuge Jin didn't want to be remembered, so he casually explained: "I named this method 'longline fishing', which is nothing more than to match the fishing line with hooks, counterweights, and pontoons, which is convenient for setting the deep bottom." Although it is not as efficient as casting a net, it is better than catching a large fish. ”

There is no doubt that Zhuge Jin can think of longline fishing all of a sudden, which is also the path dependence formed by playing "Age of Empires".

The previous drift gillnet is the technology of era 3 in the game, and longline fishing is only era 2, in other words, it should have come out during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history, and the improvement is relatively small, so it is just right to make a hammer deal.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin had only one idea before, and there was still a lot of room for improvement and improvement of things that were made hastily temporarily.

In fact, if Lu Bu knew this, it is estimated that he would not have paid 20,000 stone of military rations.

But who asked Zhuge Jin to sell a thousand stones of fresh sea bass at one time.

This physical evidence is enough to make Lu Bu's side believe that "Liu Beijun has mastered a super efficient perch catching technique".

This little trick is exactly the same as when we persuaded our side to give up our self-developed fighter in the 80s and the honeymoon period of Midi.

When negotiating, use the F16 to make a virtual demonstration. After you take the bait, what you are actually selling is garbage that is far behind the F16.

However, there is no despicable and noble trick itself, it all depends on who uses it.

If Zhuge Jin uses it, it can't be more reasonable - the grain for this transaction was originally left by Liu Bei in the treasury of Xiapi Mansion for the Battle of Guangling.

Now Lu Bu is just returning some of the grain he stole from Liu Bei.

It is precisely because this is in Lu Bu's "psychological account" that it belongs to a windfall, so it is not so distressed and cautious to spend it.

……

After explaining all the conditions negotiated with Lu Bu this time, Zhuge Jin planned to go back to Xiapi directly.

But how Liu Bei was willing to let go, he ordered to escort the female dependents back to the city first, and then let people take out the wine and meat carried by the army, sit on the ground on the bank of the Surabaya River, and practice the wine.

The soldiers improvised several stoves and set up pots. Zhuge Jin also took out his longline fishing tool as a backup sample, described the usage in detail, and asked people to take the bait.

When you are almost done eating and drinking here, you can retract the rope and cook a sobering fish soup, and what you catch is nothing.

Liu Guanzhang pulled Zhuge Jin to toast non-stop, Liu Bei also glanced at the operation next to him curiously from time to time, and said with a smile that he would also popularize it well after he went back and improve the livelihood of Guangling.

Zhuge Jin even said don't expect too much, this thing still needs to be improved and run-in. Liu Bei didn't care either, only said that no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat, so it was improved in practice.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhuge Jin took advantage of his leisure time to remember to explain a few private matters.

He went back to the car and took a package and handed it to Liu Bei: "The people I sent to Yuzhang and Xiangyang haven't been sent back yet, right?" Some of the manuscripts in this package are my thoughts on writing in my spare recently.

When the messenger returns, the next time he goes, bring it with him. Count the days, I should still be in Xuchang by then. If my second brother still has other difficulties, he may need my uncle to run by himself, and then ask the general to appoint someone to take care of my family's daily life. ”

Zhuge Jin's explanations were because he didn't want to delay Zhuge Liang's cultivation, and during this time, he was still saving up "training secret papers" for his younger brother, wanting to send them to the other party as soon as possible.

Second, he also thought that Zhuge Liang might still be a hostage detained by Liu Biao now, and if he really wanted to catch people in the end, he would inevitably let his uncle Song Xin run in person. Relying on the words of those messengers alone, Zhuge Liang may not be able to fully trust the other party.

Zhuge Jin knew very well that although in the original history, Zhuge Liang was not treated as a hostage. But now that Zhuge Xuan is still alive, it is difficult to say with Liu Biao's "suspicious heart and yin royalty" employment technique.

Moreover, the current Zhuge Liang has not married Liu Biao's brother-in-law Huang Chengyan. Without this layer of kinship, the trust between the two parties will be further relaxed.

Liu Bei didn't understand why Zhuge Jin thought about the problem so complicated.

But he knew that since Mr. was worried that after sending Song Xin to Xiangyang in the future, there would be no one to take care of him at home, then of course he would have to take care of everything, saying that it was not a problem.

Liu Bei patted his chest and promised: When I go back today, I will let Mrs. Gan send ten maidservants to serve in the house. In the future, if Song Xin wants to travel far away, he will let Mrs. Gan come to chat with Song every day to relieve his boredom, and see if there is any lack of use, so he will immediately check and fill in the gaps.

Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin no longer had any doubts, and after using wine and meat, and drinking the mandarin fish decanting soup that he had just made with longline fishing, he got up and said goodbye.

Go back to find Jian Yong and Chen Deng to meet, and prepare to embark on the road to Xuchang.

This time, it was at least half a month of hard work, so there is no need to repeat it for the time being.

Liu Guanzhang watched Zhuge Jin's carriage go away, and solemnly arched his hand.

Then Zhang Fei, who was picking his teeth with willow branches, was the first to come back to his senses: "This longline fishing method is very easy to use, although the fish is not faster than fishing nets, but you can catch mandarin fish." ”

Surabaya is far away from the Jianghuai migratory area, and the aquatic species are closer to the later Anhui provinces, and there are more mandarin fish than sea bass. Just now, this string of hooks went down, and in the end there were seven or eight mandarin fish. Originally, these sunken fish could not be caught by the Han Dynasty people with nets, so they could only be fished.

Liu Bei is also a person who likes food, and he was crooked by the third brother, although he felt that it was a bit of a ruin to the atmosphere of farewell, but he had to admit:

"That's true, the method of people's livelihood that Ziyu came up with, in his own opinion, is nothing more than increasing production, and there are countless people. However, the improvement of quality is actually greater, and the fish caught are all precious and good fish, and Guangling civil and military will have a good mouth in the future. ”

……

Zhuge Jin embarked on the road to Xuchang in the middle of September, and needed to cross four counties in the middle, and could reach Yingchuan at least in early October.

There are Chen Zhi with three hundred white soldiers to escort, and Jian Yong Chen Deng accompanying him, plus Lu Bu also sent dozens of horsemen to protect Chen Deng-to aside, the guards sent by Lu Bu were actually bought and selected by Chen Deng himself.

It is equivalent to the complete loss of Lu Bu's henchmen and eyes in this team, at most there is only "Lu Bu thinks it is his own eyes and ears, but in fact, Chen Deng made him think it is his eyes and ears", Lu Bu was finally sold by Chen Deng, and it was purely a big injustice and deserved.

With such a lineup of guards, there are naturally few young people looking for death along the way. Occasionally, when I met someone who wasn't long-sighted, I was also reversed by Chen Zhi with a wave of experience, and I only used it as a weapon to fight monsters.

There are no encounters worth repeating along the way, and it is very boring.

At the same time, five hundred miles south of Zhuge Jin's team,

However, another group of men and horses, also sent by him, were also heading west, and would arrive at their destination before him.

……

On the third day of October, thirty miles west of Xiangyang City, Longzhong.

In a grass hut shaded by a bamboo forest, a sixteen-year-old boy with a height of seven feet five or six inches, a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like stars, was fiddling with the freshly dried ears of rice in the courtyard, pondering in his heart.

"Local old farmers say that when rice is headed, it needs to be irrigated enough to be full. But why did it rain heavily during heading this year, and there were so many empty shells at the end? Can we only use water from the ground, not water from the sky? ”

He did not know the concept of male and female pollination in later botany, so he could not understand the harm of heavy rains during the pollination season.

But the extremely intelligent IQ made the teenager only observe and try farming for two years, and then began to try to analyze the truths that his predecessors could not say, and wanted to find out the answers by himself.

Even if you don't know the principle, at least you have to do more controlled experiments and summarize the rules by yourself!

Just as he was pondering, a group of uninvited guests came outside the bamboo fence in the courtyard.

The first person knocked lightly on the firewood, and asked in a respectful and loud tone: "Dare to ask Mr. Zhuge if you can do it?" In the next from Guangling, there is a letter from Brother Ling's family here! ”

Of course, the young man was Zhuge Liang, he was obsessed with thinking, and he wanted to turn a deaf ear and pretend not to be at home.

But when he heard the words "Guangling" and "Brother Ling", he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly put away his lazy and self-happy nature, dusted off the hem of his clothes, and tried his best to straighten out the wrinkles.

He was about to open the door, when a boy of twelve or thirteen years of age in the house, who had been idle, rushed faster than him, and ran over and opened the door with a puff of smoke.

The boy shouted as he ran, "Is it a letter from the eldest brother and his mother?" Show me, I'm 'Mr. Zhuge '! ”

Zhuge Liang was angry and funny, caught up with him in a few steps, and reprimanded him harshly: "The third brother must not be rude!" Hugh scorned the visitor! When did you become sir! ”

That boy is Zhuge Jun.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that he was much younger than his second brother, and when Liu Bei went to visit the thatched house, he saw a "boy about fifteen or sixteen years old", which is pure nonsense.

The three Zhuge brothers were all born to Zhang's mother, and Zhuge Liang "lost his mother at the age of four and his father at the age of nine", if Zhuge Jun was so young, wouldn't it pop out of the cracks in the stones? Or it has to be born to the Song family.

Zhuge Jun is only thirteen years old now, and it is the time when the teenager is playful, and when he encounters someone looking for "Mr. Zhuge ", he can't help but come over and pretend to be an adult.

Zhuge Liang really took a little time to explain it to the messenger, and expressed his gratitude, and then asked about the identity of the person and the recent situation of his brother.

The people who came did not dare to hold it up, and the subordinates said respectfully: "The name is insulting and listening, the surname is Tang Mingguang, who was originally a boat merchant under the Duke of Mi in Xuzhou, and fortunately had the opportunity to help Mr. Ziyu take care of a few errands, and Mr. appreciated it, and asked me to come to Jingxiang to inquire about relatives and friends."

Mr. Ziyu's family letter is here, Mr. was trapped in the city by Yuan Shu's attack on Huaiyin two months ago, in order to escape, to help Zhendong General Liu Gong plan to retreat from the enemy, so that Zhendong General appreciated, treat him as a benefactor.

Mr. Ziyu also asked me to bring 20 ingots of horseshoe gold and hundreds of colored silks with the ship, so as to fund the cultivation and study expenses. Mr. Ziyu also said that if he was unhappy in Xiangyang, he would sooner or later try to borrow troops from General Zhendong and cross the river to help his uncle, and then Mr. Ziyu could go together and enjoy Antai together. ”

As he spoke, he presented the gifts and letters to his family one by one.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he saw the heavy plate of horseshoe gold: in order to prevent his stepmother and uncle from escaping all the way, the eldest brother had to set up a household alone and struggled to support it.

I haven't seen you for two years, but you have made a career here? How much credit has this made for General Zhendong, so that he can make dozens of ingots of horseshoe gold as soon as he makes a move. And that's certainly not all, just for me......

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was not a greedy person for money, and the horseshoe gold only surprised him a little for a while, and he quickly turned his attention to the family letter.

The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars. Relatives who fled from the war have not seen each other for two years, and family letters are of course more important than horseshoe gold.

But after just one glance, Zhuge Liang became more and more suspicious of life.

He pointed to the huge package, and when he untied it, dozens of scrolls were revealed:

"This is a family letter? What did the eldest brother go through and need to write so many family letters? ”

——

PS: The new book asks for tickets, collects, and chases, thank you.

In addition, there are some situations that I would like to explain to you. Although Zhuge Liang has appeared, he is still in the learning stage, and he will not be useful for the time being, after all, the age is there.

At least it must be slightly strengthened and changed to the Yuzhang map before it can really make a real effort.

Therefore, in the follow-up space, Zhuge Liang's role is mainly to learn and strengthen, if everyone thinks water, I will try to pass it in one chapter, and write it when I actually contribute later.

If you don't think it's watery, I can write a little bit of Zhuge Liang's growth interspersed with two lines.

After all, it is more important to chase the new book period, and if many people think that the plot of water, then I definitely can't write it and dare not write it.

Therefore, you can leave a message or like it in the last two paragraphs, and I will count everyone's opinions, which can be regarded as customized writing.

If you feel that Zhuge Liang is learning to grow up, please leave a message at the end of this paragraph, or like someone else's message.

If you feel that Zhuge Liang is not learning and growing, please leave a message at the end of this paragraph, or like it.

Above.
