Chapter 195 Late Summer

"Kong Ming, what's wrong with Bo Yuan?" Liu Bei looked at the chessboard in front of him, but he was thinking about other things in his heart, and asked Liu Bei.

"Fortunately, there are fewer people disturbing you." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's the first time that Bo Yuan's personality has spoken out to drive people out. It seems that Zou Jian has indeed passed."

When Liu Bei heard this, he just nodded. These scholars wanted to win over, but they could not tolerate them.

Since Zou Fang was politely invited out by Liu Yi, there have been many fewer people coming to visit. Perhaps Liu Yi's words were heard, and finally these people realized that Liu Yi was actually an official, with a good status and a great prestige. On the day Zou Fang went back, several generals such as Ping, Liu Feng, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others went to the Zou family to block the door. I don't know if the news about Zhang Fei was still coming was accurate, and Liu Bei also expressed his silence to this and let these people make trouble.

All the things have shown that Liu Yi cannot be kneaded casually. At least he shouldn't just send some people to buy drawings with confidence. Liu Yi had no problem with dealing with people before, but he was probably a little angry. Now that he has pointed it out, the noble families who pretended to be ignorant were embarrassed to negotiate with Liu Yi in the same way.

"Yide is still in that new city?" Liu Bei suddenly smiled, and it was quite strange to say that Zhang Fei and Lu Bu didn't like each other back then. Zhang Fei raised several conflicts between Liu Bei and Lu Bu, but now Zhang Fei is quite tolerant and admire Lu Bu's son-in-law, and even called him peers. Liu Bei naturally would not care about any title with a dead person, but he just thought this matter was quite interesting.

Zhuge Liang put the feather fan on the table, nodded after hearing this, "A few days ago, Zizhong came back, took Yide's wife and children to Xincheng, somehow?"

If he was an ordinary general, Liu Bei might be suspicious. After all, Zhang Fei was a general who was highly valued under Liu Bei. But it was because of Zhang Fei that Liu Bei did not have this worry. His decades of relationship with Zhang Fei may sometimes be absurd, but he would never betray him.

Moreover, Liu Bei did not have the habit of detaining the families of soldiers. Although Cao Cao did this, he would make the soldiers use their lives, but he lost his benevolence and righteousness, just like what Liu Bei said himself, he was the opposite of Cao Cao.

"What do you think of the technique of rubbing that I had seen for Kong Ming before?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and suddenly asked.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Our army's foundation is now unstable. I know that if Bo Yuan's move can be promoted, it will be beneficial to the world and the lord. However, the time is not right now, so I should ask Bo Yuan to try some first, and establish a college to teach apprentices like Mocheng. You can select the generals to study in it, and then select some meritorious soldiers to allow their sons to enter the school, but you must not promote it extensively. In this way, people may be unstable."

With Zhuge Liang's intelligence, Liu Yi's purpose can be seen. Although this rubbing book is not easy to preserve, it is quite convenient to make, which means it is easy to spread. Reading is no longer a unique thing for wealthy families. This is contrary to the interests of the gentry, but the benefits are conceivable. If it can be promoted, Liu Bei's scope of talent selection will be much wider in more than ten or twenty years.

From the perspective of the gentry, this method is inappropriate, but in Liu Bei himself, it is a great matter. But the problem is that Liu Bei now relies more on the support of the gentry than Cao Cao and Sun Quan!

This is the fundamental reason why Zhuge Liang stopped this matter. Once it is promoted now, the consequences are difficult to predict, but it would be fine if he runs a college. The academies of this era are all private, and selecting disciples from Liu Bei's official second generation seems to be not much different from the past academies, but they can lay the groundwork for this matter. Once the time is ripe in the future, the disciples from these academies will spontaneously become their supporters. By that time, I am afraid that the disciples in the academies have grown into the backbone of Liu Bei's command.

Liu Bei nodded silently. Stability was what he wanted at the moment, so he no longer asked about this matter. With Zhuge Liang here to check, he believed that Zhuge Liang would naturally communicate with Liu Yi at the right time.

The cicadas in the yard are a little annoying, but Liu Bei's mood is quite relaxed. Perhaps it is really his luck. Since the Battle of Chibi, he has always had good luck. Not only did he take Nanjun in addition to the four counties in Jingnan, he also took Nanjun. Even Zhou Yu, who had always coveted Jizhou, died. The new commander-in-chief of Jiangdong, Lu Su, has always advocated joining Liu to fight against Cao, which gave Liu Bei a good diplomatic environment and could develop silently.

"Kong Ming, do you remember the letters sent by Zilong?" As if he had thought of something, Liu Bei suddenly smiled at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was stunned and looked at Liu Bei with some confusion.

"After a while, after the new city is built, I will take my wife and children to live in the new city for some time. Can Kong Ming go with me?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Zhuge Liang then remembered that the news brought back by Mi Zhu seemed to have said that the new city was quite wonderful. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, I have heard that Mocheng and fishing towns are all happy lands on earth, but I have never had any leisure time. If the lord is willing, Liang is willing to follow him."

The most important thing is that I hope there will be nothing at that time. After all, Liu Bei seems to be idle now, but if he leaves the governing house for a long time, it will be inappropriate. The public security has important significance for Liu Bei's future development direction. It cannot be moved lightly. I hope there is time.

...

During the days when no one disturbed him, Liu Yi's life gradually returned to peace. Seeing his daughter becoming cute day by day, Liu Yi's heart was indescribable.

"Where is the madam?" On that day, Liu Yi went to the fields and improved the seed machine. When he came back, he saw that it was Deng holding his daughter and asked in confusion.

"I'm practicing martial arts in the martial arts room." Mrs. Deng smiled.

Sure enough, no matter what era, women, especially beauties, are unwilling to accept their distorted figure. Since their physical recovery, Lu Lingqi has begun to practice hard, and she has to practice for at least four hours a day.

Is the effect? ​​It is indeed good? After all, the martial arts house is a gym specially built by Liu Yi, and has the attribute of shaping. Now, after the weak period of production, Lu Lingqi has even been more perfect than before after more than two months of training, but she has a more maternal gentleness that she never had in the past. Anyway, Lu Lingqi of this period is Liu Yi's favorite. Of course, the negative consequence is that it is more powerful than before. Sometimes Liu Yi can't help but go to the martial arts house to exercise, but it's not as diligent as Lu Lingqi, but this is a must. The happy life in the future cannot be ruined by his laziness.

"Someone just sent a letter." Deng handed a letter to Liu Yi and said, "It seems that he is quite anxious."

"Oh?" Liu Yi thought about it, but he didn't notice anything big happened recently.

The letter was sent by Zhang Fei. Not to mention, Zhang Fei has a leopard head and a round eyes, just like a beast, but the word is quite beautiful, and the content of the letter is not much, mainly the progress of the city construction. Because it is already late summer and the autumn harvest is about to be approached, Zhang Fei and Liu Yi were discussing whether to transport more cement to prepare. When the autumn harvest is over, they will recruit the villagers again to strive to completely build the new city before the end of the year.

"He is more anxious than me!" Liu Yi shook his head, put down the bamboo paper, took down the drawings of the new city from the bookshelf in the room, and looked carefully.

Due to insufficient manpower, after the city wall was built, the main goal of the craftsmen in the past two months was to build the mansions of important people from Liu Bei. Whether it was said in advance or not, Liu Yi would build a set first. In addition, there were pre-demarcated areas of wealthy families, military camps, yamen offices, clinics, academies, commercial areas, and eight temples. In addition to the original four temples, Liu Yi also designed four temples, Water God, City God, Three Emperors, and Houtu, to deal with the Eight Gates.

The current progress is good. These functional buildings have basically been completed, but the largest number is still the area for people to stay in the future. These places have the largest project volume. A work team of thousands of people may not be able to be completed in the next two years. Therefore, it is not without reason that Zhang Fei is so anxious. He is eager for the day when the city is fully built.

This feeling is different from Liu Yi. After Liu Yi completed the design and the foundation was built, he almost turned the boss. However, Zhang Fei watched the city rise from a huge cave step by step and become a magnificent city. Even if he refused at the beginning, now he is watching the city gradually improve, and he has experienced that sense of accomplishment when Liu Yi built Mo City in the past. He can understand Zhang Fei's current mood.

"The city designed by Mr. Zhang himself is not only expected by General Zhang. There are countless people in this fishing village, waiting to move in." Mrs. Deng smiled.

"They are all gone, who will do these industries in the fishing town?" Liu Yi shook his head and smiled. Now, there are tens of thousands of people making a living in the fishing town and several nearby villages. If they are really empty, it will support the interests of the entire city construction. I don't know who will be cheaper in the future. Liu Yi did not plan to give up this place after the city was built.

"But many people come to live in the new city." Mrs. Deng sighed.

"They can leave, but our people need to stay." Liu Yi shook his head. What he said was naturally the soldiers who followed Mocheng and were extremely family members. The fishing town will definitely recruit people from the outside in the future, but these people are the real core and can also be regarded as a clan of Liu Yi. From this perspective, Liu Yi can actually be called a powerful man, which is also what Liu Bei allowed.

"This is not difficult." Deng said with a smile.

The people who came from Mocheng were basically the kind who were devoted to Liu Yi, and they were also the first group of people in this fishing town. They were not comparable to those of others in terms of treatment or feelings for the fishing town.
