Chapter 110 The Most Terrible Man Is Broken in Love
"Lord, I, a great man, have been doing evil for nearly four hundred years!"
"Is the inspection and examination system really a good thing?"
"Aristocratic families recommend each other's children, capable talents, but the pearls are hidden!"
"People regard filial piety as a criterion for measuring talent. Is this really reasonable?"
Zhuge Liang spoke eloquently: "Looking at the young master, Gan Xingba was a bandit at first, but now he has turned back as a prodigal. The young master ignored his past grudges and allowed him to serve in our army. Now he has made great achievements!"
"That Deng Shizai was not only born into a poor family, he also stuttered and stuttered! The young master accepted him as a scholar, but he treated him with sincerity! Every time he passed by a place, like the three generals, he would draw a map and keep the terrain in mind. His future achievements would be limitless!"
Liu Bei suddenly realized at this moment that in order to improve his reputation, he had actually done a lot of "stupid things".
For example, when he met with a famous filial son from all over the country, the two sides exchanged business information, and received Uncle Liu's evaluation. He just waited for the period of observing filial piety to be over, and then he went directly to Cao Cao!
Uncle Liu Huang was very depressed about this. Could it be that my reputation is not big enough?
If I can't do it, I'll start with my son.
Liu Mang finally became a well-known dutiful son. Liu Bei almost knelt down on the spot to celebrate. Now that both father and son have a reputation for virtue, talents should come, right?
It is a pity that Liu Bei investigated the root cause. He used the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, but in fact he did not have any authority.
Cao Cao holds the Han Emperor in his hands. As the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he can let "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" serve as officials. This is much more famous than your uncle of the Han Dynasty!
In the final analysis, Liu Bei's fundamentals are not strong enough and he is not attractive to talents.
“Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous!”
Zhuge Liang said softly: "Instead of summoning those filial sons, my lord, it is better to consider going to Jingzhou and talk to Liu Jingsheng about renting land!"
Zhuge Liang then told Liu Bei everything about Liu Mang's improved Quyuan plow.
Only then did Emperor Liu realize how much his rebellious son "loved" Mr. Zhuge!
In order to make it easier for Zhuge Liang to farm, he actually invented such a highly efficient plow!
In the same field of farming, with the Quyuan plow, the efficiency of farmers in Xinye is 2-3 times that of other areas, achieving twice the result with half the effort!
"Okay! What the military advisor said today was like an enlightenment!"
"I can't treat Manger badly or damage his reputation!"
"This is the true filial son who dares to face criticism directly!"
Liu Mang, a filial son, quickly became a big joke because of his disrespect for his father.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Liu Bei clarified in front of everyone that his son was not disrespectful to me, but had adopted a blunt approach to admonish me.
Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will prosper the country. These eight words were directly framed by Liu Bei in his study to remind himself.
In an instant, Liu Mang, who was a big joke, turned into a dutiful son again!
This is very distressing for the parties concerned!
In the conscience of heaven and earth, I wrote those eight words to clearly mock my father for not doing the right thing!
Why is it now that I am speaking out and admonishing?
It seems that he has become more filial?
In the past, squatting on the street and looking at women's legs every day could bring out the shy side of girls.
Liu Mang whistled, feeling completely satisfied.
Now even with Deng Ai, those girls smiled at Liu Mang, and even took the initiative to lift up their skirts, revealing their green legs.
For Liu Mang, who likes to be passive, he feels like he is being teased!
Deng Ai's face turned red. He was older than Liu Mang, but he still didn't know much about men and women.
"Master...they...are bold!"
"Shizai, it is a joy in life to explore flowers and find fragrance! Sit down and watch slowly! The one who passed by just now has a good waist-to-hip ratio and will be able to give birth to a son at a glance!"
"Young Master... the fortune teller is really amazing!"
Deng Ai gave a thumbs up, and from then on he began to peek at the woman's waist-to-hip ratio, looking for a good body that could give birth to a son.
…
Xiangyang.
Liu Bei came with his military advisor Zhuge Liang and his son Liu Mang to ask for an audience with Liu Biao.
Liu Jingzhou only said it was a family banquet, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had important matters to discuss.
If you hold a magical tool like a Quyuan plow and don't work in the fields, it is simply a waste of natural resources.
Since it was a family banquet, Kuai Yue was not qualified to attend. As Liu's cousin, Cai Mao could still disgust Liu Bei.
"Thanks to Xuande, we were able to protect Jiangxia."
Liu Biao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Otherwise, if you move the people with blue eyes, it will be a big loss for me in Jingzhou."
Population is also a resource!
With a prosperous population, more wasteland can be reclaimed and more soldiers can be provided.
"Brother, you have shown great kindness to Xuande. Xuande knew that Jiangxia was attacked, so he naturally wanted to help."
It's just that Liu Bei's attack speed was too fast, even faster than Jingzhou's reinforcements!
"Hmph! You have taken over my lord's territory, so why do you want to help me? Now that Sun Quan has left, why not give up Jiangxia?"
Cai Mao made sarcastic remarks and did not give Liu Bei any face.
Mrs. Cai's charm was still there. She poured a glass of wine for Liu Biao and said with a smile: "My lord, please forgive my brother for his outspokenness."
Cai Mao's disrespect was described by Mrs. Cai as upright.
Liu Mang only focused on cooking and didn't bother to pay attention at all.
"What Governor Cai said is wrong."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Now the city of Jiangxia is not stable, and the people are panic-stricken. My Lord appeases the people and supervises the construction of the city to prepare Liu Jingzhou to resist Sun Quan."
"I would like to ask you, do you know how much military pay Huang Zu owes? The weapons in the city are in disrepair. If my lord hadn't come here, Jiangxia would have changed hands long ago!"
"General Cai doesn't want to be grateful in return, but instead talks nonsense! This is the way of hospitality in Jingzhou, and this is the etiquette, justice and integrity of Jingzhou's wealthy people?"
Cai Hao's face turned red with anger. He did not take the initiative to provoke Liu Mang this time. After all, the other party was a strong-mouthed king.
But Cai Mao never expected that there was another king with a strong mouth sitting here - Zhuge Liang!
"You...then why don't you withdraw your troops! We in Jingzhou can naturally send people to guard Jiangxia!"
"Well said! Who in Jingzhou wants to pick up this mess like Jiangxia?"
Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "As long as someone is willing, our army will withdraw immediately and we will never regret it!"
Cai Mao's face turned red with embarrassment. At least he definitely didn't want to go. Although he was the naval commander, Zhou Yu was much more powerful than him!
There is also a gap between the Navy Commander and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy!
Not to mention the other generals in Jingzhou, except Wenpin, are not as powerful as Huang Zu!
Seeing her brother suffer a loss, Mrs. Cai twisted her delicate body and said with a smile: "Today's family banquet will not talk about state affairs! I heard that Liu Mang's nephew is a first-class filial son."
"It's spring now, so fishing is inconvenient. My aunt, I just want to eat fish. I wonder if my nephew can fulfill his filial piety?"
Cai Mao took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Young master, my lord Liu Jingzhou recommends you to enter Shuijing Academy. This is a great favor! My sister wants to eat fish, but the master still has to refuse?"
Now that spring plowing has begun and the river has not yet thawed, where can we go fishing?
Liu Bei looked angry, and Zhuge Liang was about to speak when he heard Liu Mang had already answered.
"Catch fish, it's easy. If my aunt wants to eat fish, I'll get it myself!"
