Chapter 22: Meeting Liu Ye, Hard-to-Eat
sunset dusk,
Lujiang County, within Wancheng.
As the seat of Yuan Shu's general Liu Xun, Wancheng is relatively wealthy. At least it is much stronger than Shouchun now. However, with Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, Wancheng is relatively wealthy.
Liu Xun already had the idea of setting up his own business.
Although it is not mentioned in the historical data, from Yuan Shu's two defeats to Yuan Shu's death, Liu Xun no longer bought it.
So much so that Lei Bo, who had fled up the mountain to Yuan Shu, did not come to Lujiang to join Liu Xun.
Even after Yuan Shu died, Liu Xun immediately sent people to plunder his wife, children, and civil servants.
As for Liu Ye, he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty.
He took refuge here and gained some local fame.
Later, because he entered Cao Cao's camp later, he did not have many opportunities to perform, but he had a keen understanding of practical matters. The most famous one was Cao Cao's victory over Hanzhong.
At that time, Liu Ye said that Cao Cao was powerful in the world, and Shu was newly established, and people were frightened, but it could be settled in one battle.
If it were slowed down, Zhuge Liang would be good at governing, and Guan and Zhang would be brave enough to defeat the three armies, but they would not be able to defeat him at that time. However, Cao Cao did not miss the opportunity.
Those who later surrendered to Shu said that after Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, Shu was shocked by dozens of people a day, exactly as Liu Ye said. And all his suggestions after becoming an official were good strategies.
It is precisely this that it was shared with Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others.
...
At this moment, outside the Liu Mansion.
Liu Ye heard the announcement from his servant and rushed to greet him. Looking at his old friend, Liu Ye called out urgently: "Zijing, why didn't you write to me in advance when you came here?"
"Hey, I didn't want to bother you Ziyang, but there is a strange object that Ziyang might be interested in." Lu Su also said with some emotion.
"What?" Liu Ye was curious.
"There are many people with mixed eyes. Let's go into the room and talk in detail."
After a while, in the side hall.
Lu Su knelt down and took a sip of tea, but Liu Ye was already aroused by Lu Su's curiosity and asked: "Zijing, what is it that makes you come here in person?"
"Zi Yang, one of the crops my master grows is called potatoes. It can produce twenty or thirty dendrobiums per mu. If it is planted properly, it can be planted twice a year."
Lu Su stroked his palms and smoothed his beard and said with a smile.
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment. This sentence contained a lot of information. Did Lu Su admit his master?
Thinking of this, Liu Ye raised the corners of his eyes, smiled thoughtfully and said: "Zijing, are you here to be a lobbyist? Otherwise, how could you say such nonsense?"
Lu Su laughed dumbly, because he did have this idea, "To be honest, Su has this idea. I am in charge of the army rigorously, treat the virtuous and corporal well, and treat the people well.
With the talents of you and me, if we assist him, we will definitely achieve great things, and then what's the difficulty in leaving our name in history?"
After Lu Su finished speaking, Liu Ye did not express his position.
His status is not ordinary. He is a descendant of the Han Dynasty and has a prominent status. Even Yuan Shu, the fourth generation and the third prince, is nothing in front of him.
Seeing this, Lu Su said helplessly,
"Zi Yang, what I just said is not empty talk. Not only does my master have crops that yield more than 20 dendrobiums per acre, he also has a repeating crossbow that can fire ten rounds in a row, and cloth armor that is difficult to penetrate with swords and guns."
"But today, I don't want to be a lobbyist. I just want you to accompany me to visit this thing that will change the world, okay?" Lu Su didn't want to force it, so he took a step back.
"Do these things really exist?"
Liu Ye looked at Lu Susu suspiciously.
"Seriously, Su saw it with his own eyes," Lu Suyan said firmly.
"Haha, that's alright. Since Zijing has come to visit, I'll accompany you to have a look." Liu Ye chuckled, but he always remained suspicious.
If there were such crops in the world, would they eat each other's sons and leave bones everywhere? How could there be a Yellow Turban uprising? How could the Han Dynasty be on the verge of collapse?
Then, the two of them chatted about interesting stories from ancient and modern times while eating, but Lu Su did not mention Chu Feng again. He knew that this would be counterproductive, and he could only look at the lord himself.
...
At dusk the next day,
Lu Su and Liu Ye returned.
As soon as they met, Lu Su nodded slightly, indicating that he was not convinced, and gave a look that said, "Master, you can handle it yourself." There was nothing he could do to help.
Seeing this, Chu Feng began to make plans in his mind,
Of course, he still settled them down as soon as possible, but Liu Ye's identity was different from that of Lu Su, so he decided to change the method.
Play hard to get!
So, after settling in, besides arranging for people to take care of him, Chu Feng didn't even say a word to Liu Ye, as if he didn't care at all.
On the way back, Liu Ye took the initiative to ask Lu Su why he recognized his master so quickly. Lu Su also roughly said that Chu Feng should treat him the same way.
Could it be that... I am not as talented as Lu Su?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Liu Ye was still quite angry that night. What if Chu Feng did the same to Lu Su? The key point was that the difference in treatment was too great.
The next morning, just after dawn,
Lu Su and Liu Ye both got up early and looked at each other. Lu Su chuckled and said, "Zi Yang, how was our Lord's discussion with you last night?"
Liu Ye: "!!!"
Look innocent, talk about chicken!
"Don't mention it, maybe it was because of the bumpy night yesterday. I slept very deeply and didn't pay attention to the knock on the door!" Liu Ye sighed and found steps for himself.
Lu Su took it seriously, while Liu Ye was puzzled.
Chu Feng strode over at this moment, looked at the two of them, and immediately said loudly: "Zi Yang, yesterday I forgot to ask you if you have a habit of sleeping on the bed."
"Thank you, the owner, for taking the trouble. I'm used to it!"
"Just get used to it. When you return to Lujiang after visiting, I will send someone to give you a high-quality sandalwood bed. This kind of bed is good for sleeping."
Chu Feng said with a smile.
The speaker has intention, the listener has intention,
Liu Ye was even more puzzled. There was no hint of wanting to be under Chu Feng's words, which made him extremely depressed.
This may be the trouble of literati,
It's like when a beautiful woman goes shopping and encounters a column dedicated to interviewing beautiful women. This column had a lively chat with the beautiful woman Lu the day before, and invited her to drink milk tea and eat hot pot.
After Lu talked about the process with his best friend, he went over there the next day. The column team just ignored the beauty Liu.
This kind of contrast can easily make you sick.
"Master Chu, you're welcome!" Although Liu Ye replied with a smile, he was holding a breath in his heart, as if he was waiting for Corporal Chu Feng to be polite, so that he could have his way.
"Let's go dig potatoes."
Chu Feng could feel Liu Ye's mood.
...
Shaoqing, outside the village,
There are four acres of fertile land for growing potatoes.
But looking at it now, the potatoes are lush and green. Looking at the momentum, the potatoes will not be small, I hope they will be big and round.
Seeing Chu Feng smiling with joy, Lu Su looked around in surprise and immediately said: "My lord, could this be a potato?"
Liu Ye: "???"
Everyone was stunned, this bitch, didn’t he seriously say what he saw with his own eyes before he came here? He didn’t even know what a potato looked like after all this time?
"How about it, you look good!"
Chu Feng put his hands behind his back and said very happily.
Lu Su: "???"
Liu Ye: "???"
The corner of Lu Su's mouth twitched at this moment, and he said in an uncertain tone: "Master, if Su is not mistaken, these acres of land seem to be full of vegetables!"
"And just with this little dish, how can we produce twenty dendrobiums per mu?"
After Lu Su finished speaking, his face turned red. Before he came, he and Liu Ye had made a lot of noise. Who would have thought that his boss would trick him in the blink of an eye.
With this kind of growth, it is estimated that even the wheat and millet output that he aims at cannot match it!
Beside him, Liu Ye also shook his head, as if he had guessed it. After all, how could there be a crop yielding twenty dendrobiums per mu in this world?
That’s why Lu Su believed in it.
