Yangdu City.

Liu Bei, Zheng Ping, Tao Qian, and Mi Zhu entered the banquet and sat down as guests.

The fire warms the fire, and the warm wine is fragrant.

Although it is a cold winter, there is a sense of warmth in this living room.

The music sounded, and a group of graceful dancers danced, adding another bit of elegance.

Perhaps accustomed to the simplicity of Qingzhou, Liu Bei was a little unaccustomed to this warm wine and dance.

Even if the prohibition of alcohol is lifted, Liu Bei will not prepare a wine dance when he holds a banquet in Qingzhou.

White water hospitality has become the standard for Liu Bei's banquet.

But after all, this is Yangdu City, Tao Qian's place.

Warm wine, music and dancing are still one of the etiquettes of hospitality.

At the end of the song and dance, Zheng Ping, who saw Liu Bei's discomfort, raised his glass and got up, and saluted Tao Qian and Mi Zhu: "Liu Yuanjun, Tao Yuanjun, Mi Don't drive, temporarily withdraw the song and dance." ”

"There are still scholars waiting for the results of this discussion, and if you only care about drinking and dancing here, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the scholars."

Liu Bei also got up: "Tao envoy Jun's hospitality has been paid in the wine dance." But the villagers are still suffering from hunger and cold, and they really have no intention of drinking. ”

"When there are no more hungry people in this township in the future, Bei must personally set up a banquet to make amends, and he will not get drunk with Tao and not return."

This sincerity shocked Mi Zhu.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu also said: "I heard that Liu Yuanjun is in Qingzhou, and the hospitality of the wise men is to set up a banquet with white water, and the white water is clear, which shows Liu Yuanjun's benevolent heart." ”

"I was embarrassed, and I failed to remind Tao Zhijun, but instead used vulgar things."

Tao Qian laughed: "Liu Yuanjun and even sincere people, it is the old man who is negligent. ”

With a wave of his hand, Tao Qian asked the dancing girl to step back.

"Liu Yuanjun, you said in your letter that you need to meet with the old man in person to discuss the matter of relocating 100,000 villagers, could it be that Liu Yuanjun does not trust the old man?" Tao Qian smiled slightly and talked about the topic.

Liu Bei shook his head lightly: "Tao Yuanjun misunderstood, it's not that he doesn't trust, it's because of trust that he wants to come in person." ”

There was a pause.

Liu Bei asked in a condensed voice: "Dare to ask Tao Envoy Jun to settle these 100,000 villagers, but do you want to gather villagers in the East China Sea to settle in the fields?" ”

Seeing that Liu Bei's question was frank and direct, Tao Qian did not hide it: "If the 100,000 villagers are scattered and resettled, it is difficult to ensure that they can eat enough. ”

"Moreover, giving only money and food without making them work will also breed slackness among the villagers, and if they are negligent, they may even breed rebellion."

"Only in the East China Sea State Tuntian, promulgating the Tuntian Decree, as governed by a military order, the sun rises, and the day comes and goes."

"In this way, the villagers will not only be fed, but also give them hope for survival in the coming year."

"Does Liu Yuanjun think that there is something wrong with this Tuntian method?"

Liu Bei shook his head again: "There is nothing wrong with the Tuntian method, even in Qingzhou, the resettlement of some villagers will adopt the Tuntian method. ”

"I just don't know, how many years is Tao Yuanjun going to Tuntian?"

Years?

Tao Qian was slightly stunned.

He really hadn't thought about it.

Tuntian, naturally, has always been Tuntian.

Only by keeping the fields can this money and grain be continuously generated!

Tao Qian didn't understand what Liu Bei meant: "Liu Yuanjun, does this Tuntian still have to be divided into years?" ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Tao Envoy Jun, the Tuntian Law is only a temporary method for the villagers to survive, not a method for long-term peace and stability." If it is an indefinite number of years, what is the difference between these tuntian people and the private slave tenants of wealthy families? ”

The old man just used them as private slaves and tenants!

Tao Qian's heart sank, and he understood why Liu Bei would come to Yangdu City to discuss in person.

"Liu Yuanjun, you should also know that it is not easy for the old man to raise money and food for the hungry, if he can't be self-sufficient, how can he talk about relief?" Tao Qian's gaze was slightly cold, a little less polite.

If this is not beneficial, why bother to resettle the hungry?

Liu Bei observed his words and looks, and saw that Tao Qian was a little unswerving, and his tone was even softer: "The person who makes Tao Jun benevolent and virtuous must have the people in mind." ”

"I also know the difficulty of raising money and food to help the hungry, so I will not object to Tao Envoy Jun gathering the hungry people to settle the fields."

"It's just that I have one condition, I hope Tao Yuanjun can agree."

Tao Qian frowned slightly: "Liu Yuanjun, the old man can only promise, and the conditions within his ability can be promised." ”

Liu Bei chuckled: "Tao makes Jun rest assured, it's just a very small condition. ”

"I hope that when Tao Yuanjun settles these villagers, he can promise that if one day they don't want to be Tuntian people, they can leave at any time!"

Don't want to leave if you don't want to be a Tuntian?

Tao Qian's brows furrowed even tighter: "Liu Yuanjun, Tuntian is like governing the army, and the laws and regulations are not strict, how can the villagers of Tuntian cultivate with peace of mind?" ”

"If you want to leave, wouldn't it be a mess of order?"

"If there are deserters in this army, they will all be beheaded!"

Liu Bei had expected it, and bowed deeply to Tao Qian again: "Tao Envoy Jun, I know that this condition is a bit harsh, but I promised the villagers that Tao Envoy Jun is also a benevolent gentleman and will definitely treat them well." ”

"So I don't want these villagers in Tuntian in the East China Sea to think that Tao Yuanjun and I are both people who have betrayed benevolence."

"In order to express my apologies, if any of the villagers in Tuntian want to leave, Qingzhou will pay Tao Yuanjun a year's worth of money and grain according to the number of people."

"Please also ask Tao Envoy Jun to have mercy on these villagers who have already left their hometowns, and agree to my excessive request!"

It's-

Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei's eyes, and was three points more surprised.

Liu Bei's attitude was very soft, righteousness and reasonableness came first, and interests came last, which made Tao Qian suddenly feel a little difficult.

Promise this, and the money and grain obtained from this tuntian will be reduced.

After all, in order to retain these villagers, there must be concessions in the proportion of grain harvested.

If you don't agree, Tao Qian's reputation will be affected.

The scholars of this Yangdu City were all staring at the meeting between Liu Bei and Tao Qian, and if Liu Bei went away directly, the matter of resettlement of the displaced people would be interrupted.

The eyes of the scholars would focus on Tao Qian, to find out what caused Liu Bei to leave angrily.

"This Liu Xuande is deliberately using righteousness and reason to suppress the old man." Tao Qian suddenly felt a little more annoyed.

In order to chase fame, Tao Qian's meeting spread in Xuzhou.

When he thought that he would gain fame and fortune, Liu Bei suddenly temporarily added conditions.

This made Tao Qian a little difficult to ride a tiger!

Mi Zhu saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly approached Tao Qian and persuaded: "The envoy, the people of Tuntian who want to leave are probably unruly, and it is beneficial and harmless for the envoy to return to Qingzhou." ”

"Most of the people in Tuntian, if they have food to live, how can they leave?"

Mi Zhu's reminder made Tao Qian react.

This Tuntian people who want to leave must be dissatisfied with Tao Qian.

As long as the dissatisfied ones are sent back, the remaining Tuntian people will not be instigated, and they will not be resentful of leaving.

This can not only avoid Tao Qian from chilling the hearts of other Tuntian people when he punishes the unruly Tuntian people, and harvest a wave of faith, righteousness and benevolence, but also fulfills his promise to Liu Bei.

"Liu Envoy Jun is benevolent, but the old man has some small tools." Tao Qian figured out the key and promised: "According to Liu Yuanjun's words, if there are really villagers who are willing to leave, the old man will not stop them from staying." ”

"As for the compensation money and food, there is no need for it, how can the old man be a greedy person?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed again: "Tao envoy Jun Rende!" 100,000 villagers can meet Tao Envoy Jun, three lives are lucky. ”

Tao Yuanjun got cheap, and at this time he also smiled back: "Compared with Liu Yuanjun's benevolence, the old man is just the light of fire." ”

"The old man heard that Liu Yuanjun gave Mi Zizhong two agricultural books, and I don't know if I can ask for a copy of it with the cheekiness."

"If there is the help of agricultural books, the people of Tuntian will be able to get more food, which is the luck of all the people."

Liu Bei said angrily: "Tao Envoy Jun rest assured, this time I brought the "Book of Biansheng", "Four Peoples Moon Order" and "Quyuan Plough", and sent someone to Tao Envoy Jun later." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was so generous, Tao Qian also said generously: "Liu Yuanjun, you are the most refreshing person the old man has ever seen." ”

"As the so-called gentleman voted for me to repay me with a peach, if Liu Envoyjun needs it, the old man will do it wholeheartedly!"

Liu Bei took the opportunity to ask: "Tao Envoy Jun, I came from Linzi, passed through the counties of Langya Kingdom, and saw its urban and rural areas withering, I don't know what the reason is?" ”

Tao Qian saw Liu Bei asking about Langyaguo, and couldn't help sighing: "Liu Yuanjun, it's not that the old man doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't manage it." ”

"Langya has a vast territory, and Kaiyang has Zang Batun soldiers in their own line. Although Langya is subordinate to Xuzhou, it is actually not bound by the old man's decree. ”

Liu Bei was secretly overjoyed, and said awe-inspiringly: "Tao Envoy Jun has placed 100,000 hungry people in Qingzhou for me, and there is no way to repay him!" If Tao Envoy Jun doesn't mind me crossing the border to govern the government, I am willing to restrain the counties and townships in the north of Langya Country for Tao Envoy. ”

"And the future money and grain taxes in these counties and townships, I will not take a penny, and I will give them to Tao Yuanjun."

Tao Qian moved when he heard this.

Not only does this Langya country listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, but most of the counties and townships in the north don't take Tao Qian seriously.

Tao Qian's decree could not be restrained, and the payment of money and grain taxes was even more empty talk.

Now that Liu Bei is helping to restrain him, he can still get money and grain and pay taxes for nothing, how can Tao Qian not be moved?

As for the cross-border governance, it is just Liu Bei's modest words.

Liu Bei really wants to take care of it, and Tao Qian can't stop it.

Just as Tao Qian occupied part of the counties and townships of Peiguo, the history of Yuzhou did not dare to say much to Tao Qian.

"How can you let Liu Zhijun do your best?" Tao Qian said generously: "Money and grain are taxed, and the old man and Liu Yuanjun can be divided into five or five!" ”

Liu Bei thanked again: "I only learned today that Tao Yuanjun is a great sage who is really worried about the country and the people!" ”

These nice words can always make people feel happy.

Tao Qian was praised by Liu Bei for a while, and the resentment that he didn't have much in his heart against Liu Bei was also swept away.

Immediately.

Tao Qian and Liu Bei left the discussed matters on the silk one by one, and then carefully discussed the details and improved the content of the silk book.

Subsequently.

Liu Bei and Tao Qian both signed their names on the silk book and stamped the history seal.

Zheng Ping and Mi Zhu also signed the seal as separate drivers.

The silk book was written in triplicate, one for Liu Bei, one for Tao Qian, and the other for announcing the scholars of the city in Yangdu City.

Such an opportunity to promote the name of benevolence, neither Liu Bei nor Tao Qian would miss it.

As soon as the proclamation came out.

The scholars gathered in Yangdu City were in an uproar.

Before the posting.

Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong stood side by side, looking at the content of the notice for a long time and unable to speak.

Long.

Zhang Zhao sighed lightly: "Xuande is a true gentleman! ”

Zhang Hong also said: "Although the method of Tuntian can obtain a large amount of money and grain through large-scale collective cultivation, and it is also a good strategy for relocating hungry people, but the rule of law in Tuntian is like governing the army, and the laws and regulations are strict, and the people of Tuntian are not much better than the private slave tenants of the wealthy clans." ”

"Therefore, the tuntian has always been only an expedient measure, and after the crisis of food shortage, the tuntian people will be resettled in various townships and the fields will be allocated."

"And there are few like Liu Thorn Shi in Qingzhou, who retains the household registration of the hungry people who came to Tuntian in the East China Sea in Qingzhou and allows them to return to Qingzhou at any time."

Zhao Yu also said: "Tao Yuanjun wants to get money and food through these 100,000 hungry people, but with Tao Yuanjun's past style, he is not really helping the hungry. ”

"Liu Yuanjun must have seen through Tao Yuanjun's purpose, but he couldn't help but use Tao Yuanjun to share the pressure of resettlement of hungry people in Qingzhou, so he used this way to ensure that these hungry people would not always be private slaves under the Tuntian Decree."

"Those who can think deeply to this extent must truly love and pity the people."

"Brother Zibu, Brother Zigang, do you still want to dissuade me from going to Qingzhou now?"

"Although Zhao Yu is not talented, he is also willing to follow a benevolent and virtuous gentleman like Liu Yuanjun and make a modest effort to Qingzhou!"

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were also shocked.

In terms of deeds and heart, Liu Bei has already achieved the extreme.

Liu Bei is already doing his best to make the villagers of Qingzhou survive in the way he can think of!

How can such a heart not be shocking?

The other side.

Lu Su's eyes gradually became serious when he looked at the bulletin.

"Qingzhou Xuande Gong, with a benevolent heart, and courage, but also thoughtful, can be called the hero of the world."

"The world is in turmoil, I scatter my wealth to save my neighbors and accumulate fame, but I don't want the Lu family in Dongcheng to follow the tide."

"Today, when Qingzhou Xuande Gong denies himself for the people, how can he not help each other?"

"It's just that this matter is very important, and I have to go back and discuss it with my grandmother."

"My grandmother always asked me to marry a wife and keep children, but in this troubled world, if I can't stabilize one party, I will also harm my wife and children."

The eldest husband only suffers from fame and fame, and does not suffer from having no wife.

In troubled times, if you have no fame, how can you protect your wife and children?

The young governor of Lu Su sees the world more clearly than his peers.

Therefore, he will be diligent in studying civil and military affairs, scattering wealth to save neighbors, and gathering in the countryside to train bravely, just hoping to protect the Lu family in Dongcheng in this troubled era.

And now, Lu Su has a new idea.

If the husband can meet the master and assist him in civil and military affairs, it will be a blessing!

Before the posting.

A scholar from different places was full of emotion in his heart.

There are those who admire Tao Qian, and there are those who admire Liu Bei.

And more unborn scholars like Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Lu Su also have a direction to choose.

in the crowd.

Chen Deng, who quietly came to Yangdu City, looked more excited after reading the content of the notice and listening to the discussions of the surrounding scholars.

Originally, he was ordered by Chen Qi to inquire about the news, but now Chen Deng had the idea of wanting to visit Liu Bei.

"Such a hero, if I, Chen Yuanlong, can't talk to him, wouldn't it be a pity!"
