"Mr. Zijing, I am not unfamiliar with you. During the Battle of Chibi, Mr. Zijing was also discussing major events with my Lord in Xiakou. Kong Ming did not expect that you and I would meet again, but this is for such a thing." At Xiakou, at the banquet, Liu Yi raised the wine cup and smiled at Lu Su.

In order to avoid any more mistakes, Lu Su came to pick him up this time. In Jiangdong, he was quite dissatisfied with Lu Su's insistence on ceding land and showing weakness. Lu Su was worried about the others coming, but now he can't stand the tossing.

In fact, it was actually Sun Quan's intention to make Liu Bei together and give up Jiang Xia, but there was no way. Sun Quan could not stand up and face the dissatisfaction of the civil and military officials in Jiangdong, so Lu Su can only take the blame.

Lu Su shook his head with a wry smile, and responded to Liu Yi with Lu Meng: "No need to say that, Bo Yuan, this time, there are many misunderstandings between you and me. Now that it has been resolved, this matter will be exposed and there is no need to mention it."

"Natural." Liu Yi nodded with a smile, raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, which completely exposed the matter.

Of course, it is impossible to expose it completely, but at least on the surface, this matter is considered to be over.

Although Liu Yi rarely participates in politics and rarely attends banquets on weekdays, Cui Zhouping interestingly discovered that Liu Yi is not nervous when facing such a scene, and can even be said to be at ease. As the main family, he must be able to be able to be comprehensive in everything and not let the atmosphere of the banquet cool down, and also take care of the emotions of all guests. Now Liu Yi is not inferior to those celebrities or officials who linger at various banquets all day long.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. The Chinese wine table culture was almost passed down along with the Chinese civilization. Liu Yi was not isolated from the world. He experienced many such scenes in his previous life. Although he appeared as a foil at that time, because of this, he knew better about the tricks.

Although ancient and modern times have different, it has been almost ten years since this era. Liu Yi has also known the wine culture of this era. In addition, he is now in a high position. Regardless of whether Liu Yi himself has taken the initiative to use his rights, he is also constantly changing Liu Yi's aura in a subtle way, making him more calm and confident.

A banquet was a joyful meal. Until the next day, Liu Yi sent Lu Su, Lu Meng and the last group of officials belonging to Jiangdong, Liu Yi began his formal work.

Wenpin’s military camp was not in a hurry. After discussing with Cui Zhouping seriously, the most important thing at the moment was to build the burned houses in Jiangling first. Deng Ai promised to help the people rebuild their homes after the war, and they could not break their trust in the people, and it was not easy for the people to live in temporary camps. Over time, it would easily make the people feel dissatisfied.

In addition, Xiangyang also needs to start building several camps to accommodate the people of Xiangyang, and then start the reconstruction work in Xiangyang.

The childbirth period of his wife is in February. It only takes more than a month to do these things, which is not too abundant. Based on yesterday's negotiations, Liu Yi mainly discussed the layout of these new houses with Cui Zhouping this time.

Although it can only be considered a place in Jiangling, since it has been completely burned down, Liu Yi is preparing to build a community with a structure similar to Yueyang, which is composed of two-story small buildings. The saved places are to build some public facilities, such as markets, chess and card rooms, some simple gyms, and public bathhouses, which can also be considered as improving the environment in Jiangling.

After all, it is a big city in Jingzhou, but after visiting it a few times, Liu Yi felt that, not to mention that compared with Yueyang City, even if it is compared with the fishing town, it is quite inferior. He has occupied such a good position in vain. The hydraulic power of the huge Yangtze River has not been used at all. When you have money in the future, you will sooner or later demolish the Jiangling City and rebuilt it!

As for Xiangyang, it is simple. Set up several camps similar to military camps for the people to live in for the time being. The main reason is that Xiangyang needs to be guarded against Cao Cao's attack. Before rebuilding Xiangyang, several military fortresses need to be set up for Guan Yu to garrison the troops to ensure that before the reconstruction of Xiangyang is completed, there is no need to worry about the threat brought by Cao's army.

Neither project is very technical, so it is not difficult to design. That afternoon, Liu Yi and Cui Zhouping came to Jiangling to start construction.

The materials were all prepared and the site had been cleaned up. Liu Yi stayed here for three days, explained the drawings to the employed craftsmen and hired them.

The number of people employed in this area is not large, with only 300 people. It is expected that the reconstruction will take nine months to complete. Liu Yi naturally cannot participate in the whole process. After hiring people, he determined that the foundation was started according to his own plan. Liu Yi entrusted the remaining supervision and management matters to Cui Zhouping to handle. He took a boat to Xiangyang to help Guan Yu build a camp. Liu Yi only hired 100 people to complete the private camp. It was simpler than the private houses and could be built in just one month, but Guan Yu's military camp could not be careless.

According to Liu Yi's estimate, the reconstruction of Xiangyang will take at least two years. In the past two years, it will naturally not be careless, and the construction speed cannot be slow. Liu Yi hired 3,000 people to start construction in three camps, which is a very large-scale one.

During this period, in order to worry that Cao's army would come to make trouble, Guan Yu specially sent Liao Hua to Liu Yi to help protect him. After all, Cao's army retreated not long after, who knew whether it would make a comeback?

"General Liao, there are secret passages connected between these three barriers. In addition, there will be a simple mechanism at the city gate. It has not yet been formed and is not easy to display. But you need to remember that these three camps communicate with the Han River and can use water power. The city gate can automatically close at that time, and there will be three Pojun crossbows on the city wall that cannot be moved. But if there is really an enemy attack, these three Pojun crossbows can only be used to shoot arrows in a sufficient cluster of arrows." Liu Yi determined the progress of the project at the drawings. No matter how fast he was, it would be impossible to erect the three Pojun crossbows before he went back. He could only tell Liao Hua some things in advance.

"Sir, are you going?" Liao Hua looked at the city with Liu Yi in front of the drawings. At the moment, the city was only erected with a bamboo and wood frame. Next, the wall would be built and then filled with cement. It would take at least one month to truly build it. It would take longer to wait for the cement to dry. Seeing Liu Yi's appearance now, he was obviously preparing to give the matter to himself. This made Liao Hua a little confused. He led his troops to protect Liu Yi's project from being disturbed by Cao's army. Why did he become a supervisor in a blink of an eye?

"Well, there are still many things to deal with in the fishing town. I have discussed the demolition of Xiangyang here with Junhou. When Xiangyang is demolished, I will come back." Liu Yi nodded. He was indeed leaving. Seeing that February approaching, he was already homeless, but he couldn't just ignore anything.

Liao Hua nodded, without asking any more questions, but listened carefully to Liu Yi's explanation. These three cities are three acropolis outside Fancheng. Even if Xiangyang is rebuilt in the future, Liu Yi will not prepare to demolish it. It is an important defense on the line of Xiangfan. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, Liu Yi considered many issues. From the terrain, the three cities and villages combined with Fancheng happened to meet gold, wood, fire and earth. Xiangyang fell above the water level. Liu Yi hoped to obtain more water power in this way. Otherwise, it would be difficult to obtain all kinds of mechanisms needed to operate a city based on the current Han River alone.

Occasionally, Liao Hua would ask some related questions, and Liu Yi was not stingy and explained in detail the uses of various mechanisms to Liao Hua.

Although what he made was quite magical in the eyes of ordinary people in this era, it was actually not separated from the perception of people in this era. It was basically improved on the basis of the original things, and it would not make people feel obscure and difficult to understand when explained.

Liu Yi was quite impressed with Liao Hua. His abilities are not the best among the Liu Bei Group, which is currently full of stars, but they are not bad either. But more importantly, Liao Hua is a person who is willing to learn, which is a valuable habit. After all, it is too difficult to meet talented generals. In Liu Yi's opinion, most people have not even touched their own limits, and they are not at the point of competing for talent.

People like Liao Hua who are willing to learn may be the last one to reach their talent limit. There is no general Liao Hua in Shu as a pioneer. This sentence means that talents in the late stage of Shu have withered, but isn’t it a recognition of Liao Hua’s ability.

When meeting such a person, Liu Yi was not stingy to explain to the other party something that had nothing to do with this matter. Therefore, the two got along well these days, and Liao Hua also maintained enough respect for Liu Yi. Although he didn't say anything about Liu Yi's leaving, he was quite reluctant to leave.

Three days later, the time has entered the beginning of February. The problems of the three cities have been explained clearly, and the scale has been built. Next, it will be filled. Even if Liu Yi does not watch here, there will be no problems. After calculating the construction period and giving enough commissions, Liu Yi said goodbye and Liao Hua was ready to return to the fishing town.

"Junhou has told him before that time is urgent, so I will not go and say goodbye in person. Yuan Lian said to Junhou, "I will come back to preside over the reconstruction of Xiangyang from April to May. Please don't worry!" Liu Yi got on the boat and smiled at Liao Hua who came to see him off.

"Don't worry, the last time, I will report the wishes of the Lord Ting Hou!" Liao Hua bowed to Liu Yi and said in a stern manner: "Please be careful all the way."
