Pitian is full of white water around Guo, and the hoopoe valley urges spring ploughing.

The wars in Jiyanyu have come and gone, but in Qingzhou, it is in full swing and busy farming.

In order to rush for seeds, the civil and military officials of Linzi City, except for those who maintain necessary official duties and normal public security, are almost all assigned to rush to plant outside Linzi City for time.

Although Liu Bei did not issue relevant decrees, the civil and military officials of Linzi City saw that Liu Bei first followed the villagers to open up the wasteland, and then went down to the fields to grab seeds, where could they still sit still?

One by one, they took the initiative to ask for help, and they wanted to follow Liu Bei to the field to grab seeds.

After obtaining Liu Bei's approval for Song Lin's engagement, the civil and military officials at all levels who took the initiative to ask for orders were assigned to various civilian fields outside Linzi City.

Uplink and down.

What kind of Qingzhou pastor there is, what kind of Qingzhou civil and military affairs.

Regardless of whether these civil and military forces are sincere or showy, it is not easy to follow Liu Bei to the field to grab seeds.

Li Shu, who was grabbing seeds in the surrounding areas, saw that the civil and military officials in Linzi City were all holding their sleeves and going down to the fields, and from being flattered at first, he gradually began to talk with this group of "approachable" officials to correct the wrong actions of the other party in sowing.

And the most inconspicuous is Liu Bei, who has long been mixed with the villagers and is unrecognizable at a glance.

Burlap clothes, mud-stained straw sandals, and skillful sowing actions provoked the surrounding villagers to chant "Liu Lang".

The hard-working villagers are mostly simple, and seeing that Qingzhou Mudu is so hard-working, even the lazy people who wanted to be lazy in the past are ashamed to work harder.

And among them, there are also a group of teenagers from Linzi City School.

Some of these teenagers are from proud families, and they don't distinguish between grains and grains on weekdays; Some of them came from humble backgrounds and studied farming since childhood.

Zheng Xuan used the reason that Confucians must not know the grains and the suffering of the people, so that these teenagers can truly experience what is the "foundation of an agricultural country" and what "the people take food as the sky".

And at the forefront of these teenagers, it is Qingzhou Don't Drive Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping was originally going to cooperate with Liu Bei, but Zheng Xuan asked Zheng Ping to set an example for this group of teenagers in the academy.

Only a talented man like Zheng Ping, who was born in a famous family and is in a high position, can suppress this group of unruly and self-conscious teenagers.

Defy?

Debate with Zheng Ping first, if you can win, you don't have to grab seeds here.

At the beginning, there were arrogant family members who wanted to quote scriptures with Zheng Ping, such as "A gentleman eats without ploughing", but all of them were speechless by Zheng Ping's quotation of scriptures.

They can only work in the fields obediently.

"I didn't expect that the first thing I did when I came to Qingzhou was not to go to the school to learn the scriptures with Kang Chenggong, but to come to work in the fields, and it was hard!"

"Don't shout bitterness, whoever asks me to wait for more than a dozen people to quote scriptures can't argue with one person, the skills are not as good as others, and they should be cultivators."

"You newcomers don't know what to do, but you want to debate with Don Driver, and it's fortunate that You Quanxue is not in Linzi City recently, otherwise it wouldn't be Don Driver's soft tone."

"Is your persuasion famous?"

"You haven't heard of your advice? He wants to scold you for scolding a fuwen, and what's even more terrifying is that because the fuwen is so well written, many scholars will recite it. If you can't understand it, you can think about it, Kang Chenggong took the Fu Wen written out by You to persuade Xue to write out and scold Ling in the school to explain the feelings of the text. ”

"Hiss~ It's terrifying. But why do you want to scold us? We didn't provoke him. ”

"This, you persuade you to learn to be an admirer of don't drive, don't scold people because of your identity, you can't say it, but you persuade you to learn is unscrupulous, anyway, Linzi City knows that you persuade you to learn to scold people and become a chapter."

"Ah Liang, what are you talking nonsense here, as if I like to scold, hurry up, I'll take you to see the envoy when it's over."

"Really? Didn't lie to me? ”

"No more nonsense, just when I didn't say it!"

"Immediately, immediately!"

Young Zhuge Liang didn't dare to talk to the teenagers in the school anymore, and there was nothing that made young Zhuge Liang more excited than going to see Liu Bei.

After the task of grabbing seeds was over, Zheng Ping picked up Zhuge Liang and sat on the back of the horse, and then rode towards Liu Bei's position.

Zhuge Liang was a little helpless: "Don't drive, can't you find me a foal?" ”

Zheng Ping said with disdain: "Brother Sheng didn't even shout, are you embarrassed to let me find you a foal?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded his head: "It's my brother who is righteous with you, and it's not me who is righteous with you, why do you want to call your brother?" ”

Zheng Ping chuckled: "You don't know how to be respectful, it seems that you have to let Brother Zini tell you more about etiquette." ”

Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed: "Brother! Actually, I think Mr. Zini is very talented in the school, and he is very suitable for being in charge of Tuntian. ”

"It's better for you to recommend Mr. Zini to Liu Zhijun, I really don't lie to you, Mr. Zini always feels that the current pawn farmers are engaged in, although they have some talents, but how to inspect the land, how to resettle the people, how to calculate the number of people, how to set up officials, how to increase or decrease the tuntian project, all think too simply."

Zheng Ping's eyes were suspicious: "Have you discussed this with Brother Zini?" ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes rolled: "It can't be regarded as a discussion!" I just went to Song Cheng to ask about the way to Tuntian, and then went back to ask Mr. Zini for advice. ”

Since Zhuge Liang's heart knot was untied, he has resumed his habit of liking to find people to debate.

failed to debate Guoyuan in the school, so Zhuge Liang went to Diannong to engage in Song Lin to ask for advice on the Tuntian method, and then returned to the school to win the debate.

In the end, there was still no victory.

The civil and military forces of Linzi City know that Zhuge Liang is a genius boy with high hopes from Liu Bei and Zheng Ping.

Liu Bei even gave a special order to the civil and military forces of Linzi City, as long as it does not involve core secrets, some common sense in government affairs can be explained to Zhuge Liang.

The depth of pampering can be seen!

Zheng Pingle said: "Ah Liang, you are really good at picking people, but you just went to debate with Brother Zini what he is best at." ”

"But this officialdom is not something that anyone with more talent can do, Song Zuo has always been conscientious for Tuntian, and it is inevitable to let Brother Zi Ni replace Song Zuo at this time."

Zhuge Liang frowned: "But Tuntian is a major event in Qingzhou, how can you not use Mr. Zini, who is more suitable for Tuntian, because Song is conscientious?" ”

"Who says you don't need to?" Zheng Ping chuckled and said: "You all know that if you take Song to defend Brother Zini, can't you take Brother Zini's words and then argue with Song Jini?" ”

"Song Zhi is not a narrow-minded person, he is already anxious about the affairs of Tuntian, if he knows that someone can help him solve the difficulties in Tuntian, he will take the initiative to recommend Brother Zini to the envoy."

"Once in a while, you have to learn to think differently."

Zhuge Liang suddenly came to his senses: "I still wonder why Mr. Zini suddenly talked about the topic of Tuntian in class, this can't be deliberate, brother, right?" ”

"Knowing that I can't argue, Mr. Zini will definitely go to Song to ask about the Tuntian Law."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, what does this have to do with me?" Zheng Ping smiled and diverted the topic, and then Le Ma stopped: "Mintian in front, the Liu Yuanjun you want to see is still busy." ”

Seeing Liu Bei in front, Zhuge Liang suddenly had a calm aura.

"No wonder you always resist calling me brother."

Zheng Ping was suddenly happy.

The current Zhuge Liang is not yet ten years old, and he became stunned because he lost his father at a young age and had a knot, and because Liu Bei untied the knot, he returned to his former youthful wantonness.

Coupled with Liu Bei's love for Huo Qubing like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past, Zhuge Liang's young heart was more dependent and more thoughtful in front of Liu Bei.

In the heart of the young Zhuge Liang in front of him, Liu Bei already exists like a loving father.

But on the contrary, Zhuge Jin and Zheng Ping have become righteous!

This is also the core of why Zhuge Liang has always been obsessed with the matter of Zhuge Jin and Zheng Ping's righteousness.

It's a seniority!

"Ah Liang is here too."

"How can you let a boy under the age of ten go to the field?"

When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he also greeted him warmly, and his eyes were a little softer.

"There is no particular order of learning, the younger you are, the more you can understand the hardships of farming and the hardships of the people." Zhuge Liang's tone was a little more solemn.

Obviously, in front of Liu Bei and in front of Zheng Ping, Zhuge Liang's nature is a little different.

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Ah Liang is reasonable, the younger you are, the more you will understand." If a scholar can't even distinguish between grains, how can he persuade an official to teach farming. ”

Zhuge Liang was standing beside Liu Bei, quietly listening to the teachings.

Half an hour later.

Liu Bei then went to Tian'an with Zhuge Liang.

"Xianmou, today's rush for planting is over, and the fields outside Linzi City should be sown, right?" Liu Bei asked while wiping the sweat with a sweat towel.

Zheng Ping took out the feather fan, shook it lightly and said with a smile: "It's all over, and this field is the slowest to sow seeds." ”

Liu Bei also smiled: "This is the best." ”

Corresponding to Zheng Ping's intention of such an arrangement, Liu Bei knew it without saying it.

Qingzhou Mu completed the sowing of the last field outside Linzi City, which can be regarded as a perfect ending.

"Recently, I have been busy with spring ploughing, and I haven't paid much attention to affairs outside Qingzhou."

"Is there any news from Yuzhou?"

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to ride with him, and asked while riding a horse.

Zheng Ping nodded and said: "King Chen Liu Pet is a very well-behaved person, and he can't leave Chen without an edict and Chen Guo's soldiers and horses." ”

"But King Chen lent Ziyi 3,000 bows and crossbows, 30,000 arrows, and enough grain and grass for 3,000 people."

"So Ziyi recruited 3,000 volunteers in the Chen State, cooperated with Zigang and Yide to set up an ambush in the Liang State, and shot Zhou Qiao."

Liu Bei praised: "King Chen is heroic and flexible, and he is a person worth befriending." In this way, the crisis in Yuzhou can be regarded as resolved, right? ”

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin and Jiujiang Taishou Zhou Ang heard that Zhou Qiao died, and they also raised troops in Yuzhou in the name of revenge." ”

Liu Bei frowned: "Revenge? That's a good reason. ”

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Although it is said to be revenge, Zhou Ang went directly to Yangcheng." ”

Liu Bei sneered: "Yangcheng is Sun Jian's grain land, so this Zhou Ang is still related to Yuan Shao." ”

Zheng Ping didn't care much about this: "Yuzhou has Yide, Ziyi and Zigang, and King Chen and Tao Yuanjun provide grain and grass, and it is no problem to repel Zhou Xin." ”

"As for Zhou Ang who attacked Yangcheng, if Yuan Shu can't even deal with this, then don't ask Dong, I'm ashamed."

Liu Bei nodded: "Yide and Ziyi are both fierce generals of the three armies, and Zigang knows a lot about the art of war, so it is easy to deal with Zhou Xin." Is there any change in Yanzhou? ”

Zheng Ping is like a few treasures: "Although Bian Rang persuaded Liu Dai, he only asked Liu Dai not to move troops during spring ploughing, with Liu Dai's character, he will still continue to attack Taishan County." ”

"However, Yuan Shu was stabbed in the back by Yuan Shao in Yuzhou, and it is impossible not to fight back."

"It is estimated that there will be new forces involved in Yanzhou."

Liu Bei pondered: "New forces? Yuan Shu doesn't have any forces to ally with in the north. ”

Zhuge Liang listened for a while, and suddenly interjected: "Yuan Shu can form an alliance in the north and intervene in Yanzhou's forces, only the Black Mountain Army, right?" ”

Liu Bei exclaimed: "Could it be that Yuan Shu wants to lead the Black Mountain Army into Dongjun?" ”

Zheng Ping glanced at Zhuge Liang approvingly: "Ah Liang is quite clear about the forces in the north. ”

"Yuan Shu is different from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao likes to make friends with celebrities, but Yuan Shu likes to use bandits."

"Some of these bandits have vision, hoping to get an official position from Yuan Shu, so that they can turn from thieves to soldiers."

"And Yuan Shu doesn't need to recruit troops specifically, as long as he promises an official position, he can let these bandits serve his life."

"Therefore, under Yuan Shu's rule, they will basically be plundered by Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and bandits are not separated."

Liu Bei sighed lightly: "Conspiracy, Yuan Shu's army is like a bandit, why do we still have to form an alliance with Yuan Shu?" This Yuzhou is more than giving it to Yuan Shao, so that the people of Yuzhou can live and work in peace and contentment than giving it to Yuan Shu, right? ”

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Envoy Jun Ke has ever thought that if he gives it to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu will withdraw his troops and come back to fight Yuan Shao, with Yuan Shu's character, he will definitely go all the way and plunder all the way." ”

"But at least for now, we let the people of Yuzhou temporarily avoid Yuan Shu's plunder."

"The alliance with Yuan Shu is out of the interests of Qingzhou, and we can't control Yuzhou."

Although Liu Bei is also very clear that it is a little too much to care about whether the people of Yuzhou can live and work in peace and contentment, Liu Bei's mood is still a little heavy.

Riding horses and chatting all the way, Liu Bei and the three rushed back to Linzi City before dark.

The city gate guard said forward: "Envoy, Zhang Yi, who calls himself Chang Shan Peng, arrived in Linzi City half an hour ago, saying that there is something important to find the envoy, and his subordinates let him rest in the post house according to the law." ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he motioned for the city gate guards to retreat: "People from Changshan Country are here, it seems that Yuan Shao has already won Jizhou!" Although I expected it, it was too fast. ”

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly: "It's not too fast, after all, Jizhou also needs to ensure spring ploughing, if my guess is right, Yuan Shao also blocked the news after getting Jizhou, otherwise he wouldn't have sent the information so late." ”

"But it's not Zilong who came but Chang Shan Peng, it seems that Chang Shan Guo already has the idea of forming an alliance."

Liu Bei was surprised: "How can Xian Mou be so sure that Changshan Kingdom wants to form an alliance with Qingzhou?" ”

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Chang Shan Peng's wife is a brother and sister with her father, and it is my uncle who came!" ”
