Does Liu Bei love to farm? This question is actually very stupid. If Liu Bei loves farming, why should he weave mats and sell shoes? He has been a restless master since he was a child. According to the summary of our Chinese saints, ordinary filial people cannot be bad, and ordinary people who farm are relatively peaceful people. Therefore, the restless Liu Bei does not like farming, and there is no doubt about this.

However, now in Jingzhou, Liu Bei, who has a large territory, has to like farming, and he has to lead the way to farm, military, civil, and Yiren Village. Liu Bei supports all the ways to get food, official businessmen, local businessmen, Yiren Businessmen, and all the behaviors that can activate business. Liu Bei encourages only one purpose, to develop the strength of his territory as soon as possible, as soon as possible, as soon as possible.

This is like a knockout match. Some people have already been eliminated, such as Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao, and some people are about to be eliminated, such as Liu Dai, and some are struggling to stay in the game, such as Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yang, and many very dangerous tycoons and heroes. Just next door to Liu Bei, there are three such people, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu. As for Dong Zhuo and Liu Yan in the west, they don’t care about Liu Bei for the time being, and Yi Ren in the south still needs time to grow.

But the existence of these three people has made Liu Bei unable to sleep or eat and fight! Liu Bei is not afraid and is even quite confident, because he has many people who can fight under his command. In addition to two famous brothers, Liu Bei also has Fan Chou, Chen Dao, and Li Tong and Wei Yan who have recently been voted. These are all generals who can stand on their own. So when it comes to war, Liu Bei is still confident.

However, the competition between the princes is not just a war. Unless Liu Bei is preparing to be a bandit, war will always be the second-ranking existence. If you want to be strong, the most important thing is talent and development. Talent cannot be improved overnight, but development is indeed a matter of seizing the day. Therefore, Liu Bei, who does not like farming, must start to like farming, and must also like it very much. He must also let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals like him. Because the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction are very deserted!

Jingzhou is undoubtedly a place of four battles and a core place. Liu Bei now has a deep understanding of Fang Zhiwen’s analysis at that time. Jingzhou is a good place! In this regard, Liu Bei has always been grateful to Fang Zhiwen, but Fang Zhiwen supported the Jingxiang clan behind his back and tried every means to create obstacles for Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei extremely angry. Moreover, most people like to hold grudges rather than grace. Liu Bei is also such a person. Of course, on the surface, he did the opposite.

Although Liu Bei did not understand why Fang Zhiwen did this, he had no way to change all this immediately. Looking at the princes around Liu Bei, the Jingxiang clan is the easiest to deal with. Therefore, Liu Bei is now working hard to develop and vowing to completely take down the Jingxiang clan. Even if he exclaims to Fang Zhiwen, it is very necessary. Moreover, if Liu Bei wants to continue to grow, the Jingxiang clan is a hurdle that he must overcome.

"Master, lord!"

"Ah! Xiaoqi. I'm distracted. I'm in a state of mind. Is there anything wrong?" Liu Bei took a deep breath, took his eyes back from the distant mountains, and looked at Chen Zhen with a calm face. Chen Zhen's expression seemed to have this expression all year round.

"Well, two things. One thing is that the autumn grain harvest this year has been reported. There are a total of 1.5 million dans, an increase of 1.5% over last year. In total, we will collect 4 million dans of grain this year."

Liu Bei showed a gratified smile on his dark face: "That's great, so if you don't need to buy food this year?"

"I still need to purchase some from outside to make reserves. Another thing is that a scholar from Jingxiang wants to pay homage to his lord."

"Scholar? It's so good, where is it?"

"In the front hall, it is the eldest son of the Zhuge family in Xiangyang, named Zhuge Jin, and his name is Ziyu."

Chen Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, which was a kind of smile.

Liu Bei looked happy and anxious: "Go away, go quickly, don't let the guests wait for a long time!"

....................................................................

Why did Zhuge Jin come to Liu Bei? Of course, he had the same thoughts as Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai. He wanted to find a suitable lord, in order to avoid being submerged in time, in order to be able to show himself to the world, and in order to keep his family prosperous, Zhuge Jin, who was only seventeen years old, embarked on the journey of finding a wise master.

However, Zhuge Jin had no intention of going north. Although Zhuge Jin was not considered from Jingxiang, Zhuge Jin liked Jiangnan from the bottom of his heart, so he did not plan to go far. In Zhuge Jin's opinion, there were already many candidates for wise leaders around Jingxiang, such as Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, etc., Yuan Shao and others in the north. Although they are famous, Zhuge Jin does not like it.

Previously, Zhuge Jin visited Xu Gong, Wang Lang, Liu Yao and Sun Jian, and went up the river all the way to Liu Bei. Of course, Cai Mao didn't have to. Zhuge Jin was so smart, how could he not tell that Cai Mao was not a hero at all.

Along the way, Zhuge Jin took all the actions of the princes into his eyes. In fact, there is no need to see the master in many things. Just look at the places under his jurisdiction to understand what this person has and abilities, and what the characteristics and personality of this lord is. Therefore, in Zhuge Jin's view, it seems that only Sun Jian and Liu Bei have longer-term vision and plans, and have higher ambitions and determination to realize this ambition. Others are mediocre people, or people with high minds and shallow talents.

The only regret is that Sun Jian and Zhuge Jin only met once, and later sent Zhuge Jin to Sun Ce because of his youth. Sun Ce is not bad, and he has already shown his strength at a young age. However, no matter what, Zhuge Jin still feels that he has been despised. Of course, there is also Zhuge Jin's origin problem.

Because Sun Jian is now having a conflict with Cai Mao, Cai Mao's fleet squeezed Sun Jian and Zhu's fleet on the Yangtze River, forcing Sun Jian's fleet to move to the two lakes and gradually lost its substantial control over the Yangtze River channel. Cai Mao took this opportunity to get along with Liu Yao, which made Sun Jian very angry, but he could not make enemies on both sides. Therefore, he was inevitably impatient with Zhuge Jin from Jingxiang.

So, Zhuge Jin, who originally participated in Sun Ce, continued to go up the river to visit Liu Bei after being treated with a slightly cold attitude. Unlike Sun Jian's coldness, Liu Bei's enthusiasm was enough to melt the glaciers. Sometimes Zhuge Jin even doubted whether Liu Bei was also interested in men.

"Lord, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you! Brother Ziyu, you're rude!"

Seeing Liu Bei's sticky strength, Chen Zhen shook his head gently. Seeing this posture, Liu Bei was preparing to fight a fatigue battle from day to night, Chen Zhen quickly said goodbye!

"I dare not, I dare not! It's time to delay Brother Xiaoqi!"

"Oh, then Xiao is going to work hard first to see if Gongyou has time to accompany Ziyu. Ziyu is very talkative and should make friends with him!"

"I understand, I'm leaving!"

"Get up and go slowly!" Liu Bei waved his hand with a smile, which made Zhuge Jin very interesting. From this point of view, Liu Bei was very kind to his subordinates and respected them very much.

"Tiyu came all the way from Wujun. Can you tell me what I saw along the way? I am now ignorant in Wancheng and I am busy farming all day long, haha."

Liu Bei rubbed his calloused hands. Zhuge Jin looked very good. Seeing that Liu Bei's hands were really like an old farmer, he couldn't help but move. Such a master who practiced himself was really touching. I believe that the development level of Liu Bei's territory should be good, at least the people's hearts must be very stable.

"Haha, sir, sir, but I have some insights when I go upstream from the Yangtze River. Since I ask, I will say that for your reference!"

"Very good, please tell me!"

"Let's wait, let's talk about it, I want to listen to it!"

"Hehe, Gongyou, come on, let me introduce you to a talented man in Jingxiang..."

"Lord, you are wrong. Ziyu is still half of his subordinates. How could he be a talented man in Jingxiang? He is obviously the talented man of Qingxu!"

Zhuge Jin stood up, smiled and said with a humble smile, "This is Lord Sun Gongyousun, who is famous all over the world, so I am polite!"

"Haha, polite, polite, but I am not an adult. Ziyu please call me a call. Ziyu has heard of the name of Ziyu for a long time. Now I can see it, I can't be so relieved!"

"If you are so rude, Brother Gongyou is famous. What reputation can you have to insult your Excellency Qingting!"

Liu Bei smiled and said with a hint: "Okay, okay, both of you are great talents, there is no need to be humble to each other. Let's sit, sit, Ziyu continues to talk about what the Yangtze River sees."

"Yes, Ziyu, please sit down. I want to hear what Ziyu has seen."

Sun Qian also smiled and reached out to signal. Zhuge Jin waited for Sun Qian to sit down before he could sit down slowly. In these subtle places, he unknowingly demonstrated his profound family background. Sun Qian nodded secretly. No matter how talented Zhuge Jin was, at least he was a humble gentleman in his bones.

Sun Qian secretly winked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei nodded understandingly.

Zhuge Jin naturally did not notice the very obscure communication between the two people, but instead frowned slightly and carefully organized his thoughts, and then slowly spoke:

"After walking from Wujun, I also visited the local officials and gentry markets. Jiangdong was prosperous and had a prosperous cultural heritage. I saw a peaceful and prosperous area. I had not been displaced in the Central Plains, which was actually a paradise. However, the essence of Jiangdong was all along the Yangtze River, extending southward, and it became more and more barren, and the more barbaric it became. The mountains became more and more barbaric, which was a problem in Jiangdong's heart. Looking at the north, the powerful place of Yangxu came together. If it were not for the Yangtze River, it might have gone south to collect the fertile land of Jiangdong. Therefore, Jiangdong seemed to be safe and dangerous!"

Sun Gan and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled and said, "Ziyu's unique insights are there, but Jiangdong is not a Sun Jian. Liu Yao also went south to integrate Jiangdong. If Jiangdong is unified, it can eliminate the disadvantages and promote the benefits and show great achievements!"

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly: "It's not easy to talk about!"
