"You have seen those soldiers in Yicun. How can there be any soldiers in the world who really do things for the people? But soldiers like Lan Ziyu really do this. I can see that they are well-trained. Sooner or later, this person will have second thoughts...

." Sun Shangxiang continued to remind.

"Madam, do you know why those people are so enthusiastic about me?" Liu Bei asked back.

"Why? Is your husband famous in Jingzhou?" Sun Shangxiang guessed.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Lan Ziyu told them that I asked them to go to disaster relief and build houses..."

"You mean..." Sun Shangxiang was extremely surprised.

Liu Bei: "Lan Ziyu is not as simple as you think on the surface. Did Lu Ziheng give him more than ten boxes of gold and silver?"

Sun Shangxiang nodded, "It should be."

"Those gold and silver are now the food in the porridge shed in Yicun, the clothes on the people affected by the disaster, and thousands of sheep in a few days..." Liu Bei said slowly.

"Sheep?" Sun Shangxiang couldn't help scratching his head.

"Well, roasted whole lamb, Lan Ziyu's cooking skills dare to be ranked second, no one in the world dares to be ranked first." Liu Bei nodded.

Sun Shangxiang was stunned. She had never eaten roasted whole lamb. Isn't this Liu Bei's drunken talk?

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was silent, Liu Bei smiled to himself and said: "Let's go and taste it together and we will find out. The gold and silver given by Lu Ziheng should be regarded as the wife's dowry. Anyway, they are all used for the people of Jingzhou..."

A few days later, the new disaster relief house in Yicun was completed. This is the second large-scale village in Lantian to participate in the planning and construction besides Xindengzhuang in Linwu County.

Because the terrain of Yicun is flatter than that of Linwu County, the layout of the village is more beautiful, and Lantian will naturally fulfill its original promise.

He went around and bought thousands of sheep, and transferred more than a hundred chefs from Xindengzhuang, Linwu County, and spread out the whole sheep in front of his new residence.

The soldiers trapped in the camp and the local people worked hard for more than ten or twenty days and were all happy. Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to come here early.

Lantian was arranging cooking with Li Yang's people at this time, and gave this opportunity to gain fame to Liu Bei.

At that time, the people were very miserable. If those in power did not exploit them, it would be a blessing.

Now when we meet an official who is dedicated to the people, he not only provides disaster relief, treats the wounded, sends clothes and food, but also builds new houses for free. The people of Yicun just have to erect monuments to worship them. Therefore, no matter how eloquent Liu Bei is, he finally wins applause and the hearts of the people.

.

Whether the food is delicious or not, the cooking method is only one of them. The hunger level of the eater and the scarcity of the food also play a large role.

This time in Yicun, thousands of people roasted the whole lamb. Because there were so many people, they all ate it up in a few seconds. The taste was still lingering in the corners of their mouths. Both the local people and the soldiers trapped in the camp were very satisfied.

Zhang Fei said, "Ziyu, after fighting for so many years, you can't stay in Jiangling and enjoy yourself? It's not easy for me to drink with you after you go to Lingling..."

"Business matters, business matters..." Lan Tian laughed.

Liu Bei's ears turned a little red when he heard this. He saw the burning eyes Zhao Yun cast, and felt why Zhang Fei's words sounded so familiar to him? Wasn't that an act at the beginning?

Sun Shangxiang also noticed the change in the expressions of the two people, so he asked Liu Bei to speak to help him out: "Husband, Yide and Lan Ziyu seem to be very familiar..."

"Madam, I also tasted it just now. Ziyu's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world, and Yide is definitely not a glutton. He was joking with Ziyu." Liu Bei said in his heart that only I know the third brother's thoughts best.

Sun Shangxiang glanced at Lan Tian again and thought to himself: What is the charm of this guy? In terms of martial arts, he must be inferior to his wife. Why does everyone like this kind of man who can't even suppress his wife?

At this time, Mi Zhu came over with a wine glass. In addition to Sun Shangxiang and Guan Zhang, Liu Bei was accompanied by Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who can be said to be the most core decision-makers in Jingzhou.

Mi Zhu was not qualified to attend today's round, but he had the audacity to beg Liu Bei for Mi Fang. After all, he, as the elder brother, knew how much his brothers weighed.

"Ziyu, it's been so many years and we haven't had a good drink. I respect you." Mi Zhu bowed and said.

"Zizhong is too polite, we are all members of our own family..." Lan Tian responded with a smile. At this level, there is no need to explain clearly, and one can tell what the other person is going to say with just one look.

Mi Zhu didn't say much after the toast, because he could already sense Lan Tian's concern for Mi Fang from his eyes.

Although they are both Liu Bei's in-laws, after their younger sister Mi Zhen died of illness, the Mi family can no longer compete with Lan Tian for favor. Mi Fang, who was originally quite domineering, has become relatively honest over the years.

Liu Bei thought of his old friendship and still valued Mi's family. Mi Fang was not qualified to be the prefect of Wuling based on her military merit, but nepotism existed in all eras.

After the Yicun earthquake was perfectly resolved, Lan Tian and Gao Shun returned to Lingling by water, Guan Yu also returned to Jiangxia to garrison, and Liu Bei personally went to the dock to see them off.

Since ancient times, I have been sentimental and sad about parting, so Liu Bei felt empty when he returned to the other courtyard.

He saw Sun Shangxiang watching the maids dancing swords, and asked: "Madam, do you want to practice swordsmanship?"

"My husband is very interested, so I would like to ask you to give me some advice." Sun Shangxiang nodded in agreement.

Because Liu Bei had other things on his mind, his sword moves were relatively weak. The two of them practiced three or five moves. Sun Shangxiang put away his sword and jumped aside, "My husband seems to be unhappy?"

"Yun Chang and Ziyu are gone, I'm just a little sad." Liu Bei shook his head.

Sun Shangxiang said: "My husband is really a passionate person, but he is very similar to my brother..."

"Am I similar to Zhongmou?" Liu Bei looked confused.

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said: "It's my eldest brother Bo Fu, but Zhong Mou is different..."

"It's a pity that Bo Fu died so young, but Zhongmou is now in charge of Jiangdong and can be regarded as a wise master. Lu Ziheng will not be blamed when he returns, right?" Liu Bei asked.

"How can outsiders know what my brother is thinking..." Sun Shangxiang sighed leisurely.

After Lu Fan returned to Jiangdong, he told the truth about the situation. Sun Quan just frowned and scolded Lan Tian, ​​and did not pursue the more than ten boxes of gold and silver he sent.

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he struggled to balance the relationship between the Huaisi faction and the local gentry in Jiangdong. For this, he was worthy of his name.

The Huaisi faction is enterprising, while the Jiangdong faction is more conservative. There was a fierce quarrel between the two factions before the Chibi War. Later, Sun Quanquan fought against all opinions to have the subsequent war. However, both the money, food, and soldiers and horses came from the Jiangdong gentry, so they were always involved in the war.

No longer protecting one's own interests.

Although he defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi and spent countless money and food from Jiangdong, Zhou Yu of the Huaisi faction did not reap the benefits. Now he is trapped in Xinye and has been criticized by Gu Yong and others.

This time Lu Fan returned from his attempt in Jingzhou without success. Although the gold and silver he consumed was not as much as the cost of the war, because Lu Fan usually liked luxury, the Jiangdong nobles used it to make excuses.

Lü Fan returned to Wu County and Sun Quan went to court to discuss matters. Yu Fan, the captain of the cavalry, directly accused Lü Fan of using power for personal gain.
