"It's not that I didn't have money and food in my hands when I was in Xuzhou. It was thanks to the help of Zizhong Tuo's family.

All the Mi family's wealth was given to me, but it's a pity that I didn't keep it.

I have really worked hard for you all these years..."

Liu Bei fought for most of his life. Except for a short stay in Xuzhou, he rarely had a real foothold. Even Xuzhou was taken away by Lu Bu before he could actually govern it.

Therefore, whether it is repairing rivers, cultivating fertile fields, or promoting education... Liu Xuande has failed to catch up.

As for Gaotang County... Well, the people are living a good life, but this political achievement... ugh~

With Liu Bei's acquiescence, money and grain continued to flow into his treasury like a torrent of water, and then scattered out like a burst of water in the Yellow River.

But the effect is remarkable.

At the beginning of the 10th year of Jian'an, just after the year, when everyone was thinking about how to work and survive this year, a plague suddenly broke out in Nanyang, followed by a drought in Yuzhou. For a time, there were countless casualties among the people, and an unknown number of people began to flee.

.

Faced with such a scene, Liu Jingsheng could only worry about the people of Nanyang County, and at the same time block the escape route of the people of Yuzhou, so as not to cause panic due to insufficient money and food in his hands.

It was not until the autumn harvest of the 10th year of Jian'an, when Liu Jingsheng became rich again, that he again removed checkpoints along the way, and under Xiahou Dun's angry eyes, began to absorb a large number of refugees and their fleeing families.

But what Liu Jingsheng didn't expect was that when he had to ignore the life and death of the people of Yuzhou, Jiangxia County actually opened the checkpoints along the way to attract people nearly two months earlier than he did.

After getting permission from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu directly withheld most of the money and grain earned from Jiangdong, and then asked Huang Zu to open the pass in the name of Liu Qi.

Unrestricted acceptance of people fleeing from Runan, Yuzhou and other places.

At the same time, Yuan Huan entered Jiangxia County with Pan Jun, who was seconded from Lingling, and Liu Wangzhi, who had just joined Liu Bei's army and wanted to avoid trouble.

Take personal responsibility for this matter.

At the same time, Nanyang Zhang Cun, a minor official in Liu Biao's account, also recommended himself to Liu Bei's command. At this time, he personally planned for him, first dividing them into various counties and cities to prevent them from being dependent on each other.

Then they recruited a large number of young people through work-for-work relief and directly forcibly expanded Xiakou City to prevent them from causing trouble by themselves.

Immediately after the massive recruitment into the field army, dozens of fields began to be established throughout southern Jiangxia, and land was reclaimed first in an attempt to separate them again.

Zhang Cun himself was not well-known under Liu Biao, but he was very good at planning. Even Yuan Huan spoke highly of him.

"Aside from being a little too arrogant, there is nothing wrong with this person.

In the future, as long as he doesn't say something that shouldn't be said... he will be able to control the affairs of a state..."

Pan Jun also agreed with Yuan Huan's remarks, "Indeed, as long as he doesn't always stare at Pang Shiyuan, he won't still look like this in Jingzhou for so many years..."

"....He has a bad relationship with Pang Shiyuan?"

"No, he just looks down on Pang Shiyuan!"

"..." This time Yuan Huan was silent for a long time before speaking, "As long as he doesn't say anything wrong in the future, he should be able to live to his old age."

A large number of people have poured into Jiangxia County. Although Liu Qi's power seems to have not increased for a while, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Jiangxia will soon become in his hands.

And because of this incident, Liu Qi's reputation has been significantly enhanced. In addition, during this period of time, Jiangdong was experiencing civil unrest, and Huang Zu also exercised restraint, which temporarily relieved Jiangxia County's vitality.

All these apparent achievements are now attributed to Liu Qi.

As for Guan Yu, he now dares to go around the gate of Chaisang Zhouyu Water Village regardless of his business. Although Guan Yu has to be injured every time before Gan Ning can rescue him, he still enjoys it.

His approach gave Zhou Yu a headache. It wasn't that Guan Yu was so brave and caused him any trouble, but that Zhou Yu clearly felt that this guy was making some progress every time.

This was so terrifying that even Zhou Yu thought of looking for an opportunity to lure the enemy deeper, luring Guan Yu into the depths of Chaisang, ambush and kill him.

It's a pity that his plan was discovered by Gan Ning, and he led his elite to fight to the death to rescue Guan Yu.

From then on, Zhou Yu's mood became even worse....

Before the winter of the 10th year of Jian'an came, Liu Bei saw for the first time what self-sufficiency meant.

Although the harvests from Cangwu, Yulin and even Nanhai seemed to be integrated into the treasury, the grain and fodder supplies from Wuling, Lingling and even Guiyang counties were also sent to Xiangyang and their respective county treasuries.

But Liu Bei inexplicably expanded his army and sent two batches of more than a thousand pieces of armor and crossbows to Guan Yu.

In this regard, everyone who saw it pretended not to have seen it, and no one was really so blind as to ask what was going on.

After having enough food and grass, Liu Bei waved his hand and wanted to reward the generals. As a result, Zhao Yun wrote seven letters from Xinye in three days to dissuade him.

He also directly raised the banner of "instead of rewarding the generals, it is better to use it for the people". For a while, the commotion was quite big, and Liu Bei could only drop the matter.

Zhang Fei, who originally wanted to get some fine wine, was too embarrassed to speak. As for the things that everyone had given out as rewards, everyone silently sent them back.

Liu Bei gained the reputation of being good at accepting advice and benevolent and caring for the people. Liu Yan also found his own role after returning from Xudu and vigorously promoted everything about Liu Bei.

But the consequences were also serious, and Zhao Yun's life was not so easy.

At least it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Liu Bei didn't blame him, but it would inevitably make many people resent him. Although Liu Bei had the intention, he was powerless.

After all, Zhao Yun himself didn't have any objections, and he couldn't let the generals have any thoughts. He could only give Zhao Yun some rewards in his own name, and then create the title of Yamen Colonel for him to express his feelings.<

The tenth year of Jian'an, the eleventh year of Jian'an, the twelfth year of Jian'an...

Several years passed peacefully, and although there were some disasters under Liu Bei's "rule", the three counties in Lingbei of Jiaozhou and the three counties in Jingnan excluding Changsha all returned to peace.

The people finally enjoyed a few years of stability. Deng Fang and Shamoko officially became brothers, becoming the third person most admired by the Wuling barbarians.

Mountain bandits and thieves from all over the country were also wiped out. The Gaoliang bandit Kou Qianbo was killed by Wei Yan, and tens of thousands of Gaoliang bandits were subdued by Wei Yan.

Wu Chen also succeeded in the eleventh year of Jian'an and felt that he was well-equipped and powerful.

Then he sent troops to Lingnan in the autumn and was defeated in Jiaozhi County. Although he was successfully rescued by Wei Yan, his vitality was severely damaged and his health gradually became worse.

Under Zhuge Liang's subtle persuasion, Wu Chen still retained "control" over the three counties of Jiaozhou, but sent his only son Wu Gao to Wuling County.

This is a kind of explanation for Liu Bei.

Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, and Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, have little ability and prestige. Now that they know that many officials under their rule have secretly communicated with Liu Bei, they can only ignore it.

So far, Zhuge Liang's plan for Liu Bei has been initially successful....

Before the Winter Festival in the twelfth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei once again met the military advisor he had not seen for a long time.

"Kong Ming..."
