Chapter 156

"You have seen those soldiers in Yicun. How can there be soldiers who really do things for the common people? But the soldiers like Lan Ziyu really did this. I can see that they are well-trained. Sooner or later, this person will have two hearts." Sun Shangxiang Keep reminding.

"Ma'am, do you know why those people are so enthusiastic about me?" Liu Bei asked back.

"Why? Is your husband famous in Jingzhou?" Sun Shangxiang guessed.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Lan Ziyu told them that I was the one who asked them to build houses for disaster relief."

"You mean?" Sun Shangxiang was extremely surprised.

Liu Bei: "Lan Ziyu is far from being as simple as you see on the surface. Did Lu Ziheng give him dozens of boxes of gold and silver?"

Sun Shangxiang nodded, "It should be."

"Those gold and silver are now turned into the food in the porridge shed in Yicun, the clothes on the people affected by the disaster, and thousands of sheep in a few days later." Liu Bei said slowly.

"Sheep?" Sun Shangxiang couldn't help scratching her head.

"Well, for roasting whole lamb, Lan Ziyu's culinary skills dare to be ranked second, and no one in the world dares to be number one." Liu Bei nodded.

Sun Shangxiang was dumbfounded. She had never eaten roasted whole lamb. Isn't this Liu Bei's drunken talk?

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was silent, Liu Bei smiled to himself and said, "Let's try it together and we'll know. The gold and silver sent by Lu Ziheng should be regarded as my wife's dowry. Anyway, they are all used on the people of Jingzhou."

A few days later, the disaster-relief new residence in Yicun was completed. This is the second large-scale village in Lantian that participated in the planning and construction besides Xindengzhuang in Linwu County.

Because the terrain of Yicun is flatter than that of Linwu County, the layout of the village is more beautiful, and Lantian naturally wants to fulfill its original promise.

He sent people around to buy thousands of sheep, and transferred more than a hundred cooks from Xindengzhuang, Linwu County, and roasted whole sheep for thousands of people in front of his new residence.

The soldiers trapped in the camp and the local people worked hard for more than ten and 20 days and were happy. Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others here early.

At this time, Lan Tian was arranging cooking with Li Yang's people, and gave Liu Bei the opportunity to gain fame.

At that time, the common people were very miserable, and the superiors were thankful for not exploiting them.

Now when I meet an official who is dedicated to the people, he not only provides disaster relief, treats the wounded, sends clothes and food, but also builds new houses for free. The people in Yicun only need to erect a monument to worship, so no matter how eloquent Liu Bei is, he won the applause and the hearts of the people in the end. .

Whether the food is delicious or not depends on the cooking method. The hunger of the eater and the scarcity of the food also account for a large proportion.

This time Yicun roasted the whole sheep with tens of thousands of people, because there were too many people, so they rushed to eat them all, and the taste remained in the corners of their mouths. Both the local people and the soldiers trapped in the camp were very satisfied.

Zhang Fei fought for a long time, "Ziyu, after fighting for so many years, can't you stay in Jiangling and enjoy yourself? You went to Lingling and it's not easy for me to find you for a drink."

"Business is important, business is important," Lan Tian laughed.

Liu Bei's ears were a little red when he heard it, and when he saw Zhao Yun's burning eyes, he felt that Zhang Fei's words sounded so familiar to him.Wasn't that a play at the beginning?
Sun Shangxiang also noticed the change in the expressions of the two, so she pulled Liu Bei to speak to help him out: "Husband, Yide and Lan Ziyu seem to be very familiar."

"Madam also tasted it just now. Ziyu's culinary skills are outstanding in the world. Yide is definitely not a greedy person. He is joking with Ziyu." Liu Beixin said that only I understand the third brother's thoughts best.

Sun Shangxiang looked at Lan Tian again, wondering what charm this guy has?In terms of martial arts, he must be inferior to his wife. Why does everyone like this kind of man who can't even suppress his wife?
At this time, Mi Zhu came over with a wine glass in his hand. Apart from Sun Shangxiang and Guan Zhang, Liu Bei was accompanied by Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. They could be said to be the core decision makers in Jingzhou.

Mi Zhu is not qualified to attend today's game, but he had the audacity to ask Liu Bei for Mi Fang's sake. After all, he knows how much his brother weighs, as the elder brother.

"Ziyu, it's been so many years, we haven't had a good drink, I respect you." Mi Zhu bowed and said.

"Zi Zhong is too polite, we are all from our own family," Lan Tian replied with a smile. At this level, there is no need to explain clearly, one look can tell what the other party is going to say.

Mi Zhu didn't say much after the toast, because he had already sensed his concern for Mi Fang from Lan Tian's eyes.

Although they are also Liu Bei's in-laws, after the younger sister Mi Zhen died of illness, the Mi family could no longer compete with Lan Tian for favor, and Mi Fang, who was originally rather domineering, has become relatively honest these years.

Liu Bei Nian and his old love still reused the Mi family. According to his military achievements, Mi Fang was not qualified to be the prefect of Wuling at all, but nepotism existed in any era.

Perfectly resolved the post-earthquake incident in Yicun, Lantian and Gao Shun returned to Lingling by water, Guan Yu also returned to Jiangxia to garrison, and Liu Bei personally saw them off at the pier.

Since ancient times, there has been a sentimental parting, and Liu Bei felt empty when he returned to the other courtyard.

He saw Sun Shangxiang watching the servant girls dancing their swords, so he asked, "Ma'am, do you want to practice swords?"

"Husband is very interested, so please give me some advice." Sun Shangxiang nodded in response.

Because Liu Bei had other distractions, his sword moves were relatively weak. The two practiced three or five moves against each other. Sun Shangxiang took his sword and jumped aside, "Your husband seems to be unhappy?"

"Yun Chang and Ziyu are gone, I'm just feeling sad." Liu Bei shook his head.

Sun Shangxiang said: "My husband is really a person who values ​​affection, but he is very similar to my elder brother."

"Am I similar to Zhongmou?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said, "It's my elder brother Bofu, but Zhongmou is different."

"It's a pity that Bo Fuying died young, but Zhongmou is now in charge of Jiangdong, and he can be regarded as a wise leader. Lu Ziheng will not be blamed after he returns?" Liu Bei asked.

"How can outsiders know what brother is thinking?" Sun Shangxiang sighed leisurely.

After Lu Fan returned to Jiangdong and told the truth about the situation, Sun Quan just frowned and scolded Lan Tian a few words, and did not pursue the more than ten boxes of gold and silver that he sent.

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he was struggling to balance the relationship between the Huaisi faction and the local gentry in Jiangdong, and he was worthy of his name in this regard.

The Huaisi faction is aggressive, while the Jiangdong faction is more conservative. There was a fierce quarrel between the two factions before the Chibi War. Later, Sun Quanquan fought against all opinions and led to the subsequent war. However, both the money and food and soldiers and horses come from the Jiangdong gentry, so they are always Not defending one's own interests.

Although the Battle of Chibi defeated Cao Cao and cost Jiangdong a lot of money and food, Zhou Yu of the Huaisi faction did not reap any benefits. Now he is trapped in Xinye and has been attacked by Gu Yong and others.

This time, Lu Fan returned in vain to seek Jingzhou. Although the gold and silver consumed were not as much as the war, but because Lu Fan usually likes extravagance, he was brought up by the Jiangdong gentry.

Lu Fan went back to Sun Quan of Wu County to discuss matters, and Yu Fan, the captain of Qi, directly reported Lu Fan for using power for personal gain.

Jiangdong's court suddenly exploded.
