Chapter 375 The Birth of the Prototype of the Empire’s Will
“Impossible! During the two years that I have been in charge of Qingzhou, Qingzhou has had bumper harvests year after year. How can there be no food in the granary here in Licheng?”
< br>When Liu Bei heard Xu Shu's words, his expression suddenly changed. He couldn't believe that there was no grain in the Licheng treasury. He had come to check when the new grain was put into the treasury before. There was no way there would be no grain.
However, it was impossible for Xu Shu to deceive him in this regard, so it could only be that the granary was really out of food.
But how come there is no food and grass in the Licheng treasury?
"Did someone take action against the grain and grass in Licheng's treasury?" Liu Bei put away his shocked look and turned to murderous words.
He didn't ask why Yang Ji, the governor of Qingzhou's military and political affairs, didn't find out. He didn't ask why Xu Shu, the chief historian of Yang Ji, didn't find out. He just wanted to know if someone had done something to the food in the Licheng treasury.
If someone really takes action, then Liu Bei will have to show those people his thunderous methods.
He Liu Bei is a wise monarch with benevolence and virtue, but it does not mean that he is only wise. He also fought on the battlefield.
"Mr. Said, Liu Bei seems to be more and more unwilling to use his brain now.
"Ah?" Liu Bei looked at Yang Ji with a confused face, and then he remembered the number of local garrison troops in Licheng and the local residents' registered residence, and found that it seemed to be exactly what Yang Ji said.
"But, didn't Zichuan build several large granaries here in Licheng? Could it be that even those are not enough to feed the millions of people?" Liu Bei looked away with some embarrassment and looked towards Although the surrounding military tents were a little embarrassed and the number of people was not counted, Liu Bei still moved his eyes back and looked at Yang Ji and asked.
Yang Ji did not answer Liu Bei's question immediately. Instead, he looked at Xu Shu and asked him to answer Liu Bei's question.
"Lord, it is because of those large granaries that I can allow the millions of people who have poured in to eat this level of relief food at this time." Xu Shu said with a bitter smile, of course he We know that there is a granary built by Chen Xi around Licheng, otherwise the food he prepared for these millions of people would not be steamed buns and meat porridge, and there would be unlimited amounts.
Of course Xu Shu knew the consequences of doing this, but Xu Shu didn't care. He also knew that Liu Bei wouldn't care, and Chen Xi wouldn't care about this food. What they care about is whether these people can enter Have a good meal after Qingzhou.
Lower the food standards just to allow them to rest in this temporary settlement for a few more days?
Which idiot came up with this stupid trick?
If they weren’t stupid, why would they stop them from getting their own fields as early as possible? Although it is now June, the spring plowing has already passed, and we can only start plowing until the autumn plowing in August or September.
However, this does not prevent them from looking forward to clearing up the fields they have been allocated earlier, and it does not mean that there are no crops to plant at this time.
It has been more than two years since Cookies came to Fenggao, and not all of them are focused on food crops. This is all thanks to Chen Xi. If it weren't for his mouth, Cookies might have to wait until rice. After the research on wheat and other food crops is completed, and after their potential has been developed to the current limit, various fruits and vegetables will be considered.
Although these fruits and vegetables cannot be eaten as staple food, it is not a problem to plant some vegetables with a short growth cycle in exchange for some grain to survive these few months. You can even cultivate the soil in the fields in advance. Isn't this right? OK?
Listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei looked at a plate of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge that exuded the aroma of meat, plus a small plate of side dishes on the table. Except for Liu Bei and his party, the rest of the group only had a pottery bowl for meat porridge, steamed buns, side dishes, etc. There were no bowls or plates to hold them, and at most they had a pair of chopsticks.
The fragrance that permeated the camp constantly reminded Liu Bei that this meal was not a simple meal, but a very expensive meal, and the amount of food that needed to be consumed during the period was not a small amount.
However, at this time, Liu Bei no longer wanted to find out the person who was interested in the granary of the treasury, nor did he want to scold Xu Shu for his extravagance and waste.
On the contrary, Liu Bei is now very satisfied with Xu Shu's approach. Isn't food just for people to eat?
As for the food consumed during this period, that's not a big deal. After all, Xu Shu only emptied the granaries in Licheng's treasury, while Chen Xi built granaries all over Qingzhou.
"It can't be mobilized..." Liu Bei was about to say why he didn't mobilize the grain from other granaries in Qingzhou, but his mind suddenly realized that if he had time to waste here, he might as well send the people directly to the local area. At least there won't be any waste on the road.
Liu Bei sighed. It seemed that the time he spent in the Government Affairs Office was somewhat in vain. He couldn't even respond to such a simple question.
After connecting everything together, Liu Bei understood why Xu Shu would let these people in the temporary settlement leave tomorrow.
There are both their own problems and the expectations of the people. They can't wait to get their own fields.
"Well, since it is their expectation, let's go with your original idea Yuan Zhi." Liu Bei shook his head and agreed to Xu Shu's plan, because that is what people want.
"By the way, who proposed this plan?" After sorting out all the thoughts in his mind, Liu Bei suddenly realized that this plan that directly addressed people's hearts was not proposed by Xu Shu.
Xu Shu’s spiritual talent can see through or break the situation. Although it can also penetrate some people’s hearts, Xu Shu himself has not done much research on the human heart, or his interest is not here, so until now, Xu Shu has not developed this ability. ability on the one hand.
If you think about it this way, the only ones present who could come up with this plan were Chen Xi and Fazheng. Liu Bei did not take Yang Ji into consideration, because it was not his task to disperse these people, but the task of Xu Shu and Fazheng. Chen Xi may have coincided with the meeting and happened to give Xu Shu and Fazheng some pointers.
Liu Bei looked straight at Fazheng with his eyes. What he wanted to express was already very clear. It is you who proposed this plan, right?
"My lord has a keen eye, this plan was exactly what I proposed to Yuan Zhi on the way back." Fa Zheng bowed his hand to Liu Bei and generously acknowledged his role.
"Okay! Okay, it seems that Xiaozhi has eliminated seven or eight points of your impatience." Liu Bei stroked his beard and laughed. He is indeed the young man he is optimistic about. This ability of psychological adjustment is So powerful.
"Well, after this matter is over, you can return to Qi and serve as the fake Prime Minister of Qi. It depends on you whether you can remove the fake word and regain the official position of Prime Minister of Qi." Liu Bei On the surface, he was looking at Fazheng, but his eyes drifted towards Chen Xi. He didn't count on this matter, and Chen Xi had to speak before it was officially settled. When Fazheng heard Liu Bei's words, he also looked at Chen Xi. Liu Bei was more of a suggestion on internal affairs and administration. He would not use his power of rewards and punishments to decide someone's promotion or demotion, but rather This power was entrusted to Chen Xi.
So even if Fazheng is promoted or demoted, Liu Bei still has to ask Chen Xi for his opinion. If Chen Xi disagrees, Liu Bei will really swallow what he said. .
"But it's up to Duke Xuande to decide. In the future, your assessment of Xiaozhi as the prime minister of Qi will be more stringent than that of other governors and governors." Chen Xi first looked at Liu Bei and then at Fazheng. Liu Bei even spoke. Could it be that Chen Xi Will you still reject Liu Bei's suggestion? What's more, it's such an insignificant thing.
However, since Fazheng took the back door, he must also show his due performance and don't let Liu Bei's recommendation become a joke. This is Chen Xi's request for Fa Zheng, which is not high. At least for Fa Zheng, it is not difficult to achieve.
"Zheng, I will live up to my lord's recommendation and everyone's expectations." Fazheng stood up and saluted everyone. After the salute, Fazheng's whole body's temperament suddenly changed, and a calm aura came out of his body, quickly swallowing up the remaining impatience in his body.
Fazheng stood up straight, his eyes greeted the scrutiny from Liu Bei, Chen Xi, Yang Ji Xushu with great calmness. Although his eyes still shone with a trace of unruliness, there was calmness and prudence in them. The most striking.
After Xu Shu, Fazheng, and the Black Mountain Army finished talking, Yang Ji looked at Liu Bei, and it was time to talk about the Taiping Will and the collective will feedback system.
Seeing Yang Ji looking at him with a slightly solemn expression, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. What on earth could have caused Yang Ji to show such a solemn expression?
"Ziyu, do you have something to say?" Liu Bei said with a slightly serious look. Something that makes Yang Ji so solemn might be a major event that will affect the future.
"Mr. Xuande, do you still remember what I said before about how I defeated Yuan Shaojun led by Ju Yi?" Yang Ji looked at Liu Bei and asked seriously.
"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned, wondering why Yang Ji mentioned this matter at this time. Could it be that after Yang Ji used the system left over from Zhangjiao, it brought any serious sequelae to Yang Ji?
"Is it the Yellow Turban system left by Zhang Jiao?" After calming down, Liu Bei told what he knew.
"Well, yes, it is the Yellow Turban system left by Zhang Jiao, but I prefer to call it the collective will feedback system." Yang Ji nodded and said.
“However, what I want to say is not this, but the core existence in this system. If General Huangfu hadn’t discovered the existence of this core and defeated it in advance, maybe the current The situation would not be what it is now." Yang Ji paused, seemingly waiting for Liu Bei to ask questions.
Liu Bei listened to Yang Ji's description, and the contents of Chen Xi's previous analysis came to his mind one by one, and then connected in series, making him realize what the core of Yang Ji's mouth was.
Liu Bei was silent for a while, and then said: "The core of what you are talking about is Huang Tian's will, right?" Liu Bei said very firmly.
"It seems that you have analyzed it from the letter I sent back." Yang Ji had a real expression. He had long thought about the possibility of being analyzed, so It doesn't feel weird at all.
"So, Mr. Xuande, what do you think of the Huangtian Will that I have in my hand, which has been renamed the Taiping Will?" Yang Ji stretched out his hand and condensed a light with a slight topaz color. Yang Ji put that The will of Tao Taiping is now in the eyes of everyone.
"This is..." Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others looked at the light with a slight yellow jade color in Yang Ji's hand in shock. They couldn't believe that Yang Ji embodied the will of Taiping in this way. .
Also, is collective will so easy to manifest? What's more, the Taiping Will was born out of Huang Tian's Will, the prototype of the Empire's Will?
Unless this person is recognized by most members and becomes the leader of this organization, and is a leader who truly has the corresponding rights. Or perhaps, this collective will was shaped by this person himself.
So, which category does Yang Ji belong to? It really tests one’s heart.
"So, Mr. Xuande, what do you think of this will of peace that was born out of the Yellow Turban?" Yang Ji held the yellow jade glimmer in his hand and asked Liu Bei again.
"Haha, it's just what people want. What can I say?" Liu Bei looked at the glimmer of yellow jade in Yang Ji's hand and said in a calm tone.
Liu Bei didn't care where this yellow jade light came from. When it appeared, it represented a gathering of people's hearts.
What Liu Bei needs to do is to listen to the people's hearts gathered together to see what kind of people's hearts they represent.
Is it good or bad? Is it a spontaneous gathering or a deliberate gathering? Is it the simple wish of the people or...
"Is that so?" Yang Ji was silent for a while and then said again: "So, Mr. Xuande, what do you want...this collective will?"
Liu Bei fell silent after listening to Yang Ji's inquiry. , he could feel many things from the glimmer of yellow jade in front of him, the most intense of which was the word "Taiping". It's no wonder that Yang Jihui named it Taiping Will.
"Since Ziyu has spoken out about it, you should have something to do, right?" Liu Bei said slowly. Although he had a lot of feelings, he also knew that there cannot be two sides in an empire. The will of the Tao Empire.
Once upon a time, he personally experienced the scene of two empires' wills existing in one country, even though one of them was only the prototype of an empire's will.
Yang Ji did not answer Liu Bei's question, but looked at Chen Xi. Although he could also dispel the will of peace, Chen Xi was the expert in this regard.
"Zichuan, you should have felt the existence of the prototype of the empire's will by now, right?"
