Chapter 53

There was no response to the letter sent to Sun Quan, but Jian Yong, who was away from home, sent back the message.

Liu Bei immediately summoned the strongest external brain: Zhuge Liang to discuss matters.

When Kong Ming came over, he was wearing a straw hat, with bare feet and curled legs, which were still wrapped in mud.

But even so, Liu Bei sighed: Sure enough, handsome people are handsome no matter what they do, including when they are farming.

"Why doesn't Kong Ming wash it first?" Liu Bei caringly wiped the mud spots on Kong Ming's face with his sleeve.

"The lord said he was in a hurry, so Liang came here in a hurry!" Kong Ming laughed loudly, "What's the matter, lord? The method of "Heavenly Creation" was used in the farmland, and the seedlings bred are much stronger than in previous years, and we will definitely have a good harvest!"

"Oh? Is it really so amazing?" Liu Bei usually runs between the two ends of the poor police, and he has to fight Zhou Gongjin in the middle.

Kong Ming nodded heavily: "From raising seedlings to planting and fertilizing the fields, Heavenly Creation covers everything. I told the people, and they also lamented that finally there is a book that can explain farming so clearly."

"Throughout the ages, too little attention has been paid to farming and mulberry!" Liu Bei sighed: "I will go planting rice seedlings with you later!"

"Oh, that's right!" Liu Bei patted his head and picked up the letter: "A letter from Xianhe."

Wiping his hands with the hem of his clothes, Kong Ming took it over and scanned ten lines at a glance and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, my lord, the hearts of the people of Yizhou have been attached!"

This may be the meaning of the external brain. After reading Jian Yong's letter, Liu Bei feels like a travelogue. It doesn't mean that the banquet here is the food there, and nothing can be seen at all.

Spreading out the letter paper, Kong Ming slowly explained to Liu Bei:
"Mr. Jian was worried that the letter would be lost or fell into the hands of the eunuch, so he wrote it rather vaguely, but the meaning of Mr. Xianhe can be seen through the name in it."

"Mr. Xianhe said that the situation in Yizhou is in jeopardy. Liu Zhang enjoys himself all day long and ignores political affairs. Outside, Zhang Lu is watching and cannot be calmed; inside, Pang Xi and Li Yi are ready to move."

"Liu Zhang lacks majesty, Zhang Songfa and Zheng are willing to lobby and welcome the Lord into Yizhou."

"And Mr. Xianhe has left Yizhou now, and he will come back after seeing Ma Mengqi."

"Xianhe's road is hard!" Liu Bei lamented a lot. He knew how difficult the Yizhou Road was, but Jian Yong volunteered for the great cause.

Then Liu Bei noticed the decision of the Yizhou counselor: welcome him into Yizhou!

Anxious heart, trembling hands, and feet walking around the room.

Kong Ming protested: "Is there any other business, my lord? Otherwise, Liang will go back to transplant rice seedlings."

After another two laps, Liu Bei decided: "I'll go with you!"

As a person who started as a weaver of mats and shoes, Liu Bei has never lost his handicrafts, and occasionally thinks while weaving things, which can help organize his thoughts.

At this time, he went back to his room and put on a straw hat and changed into a barefoot bunt. He looked like an old farmer.

Kong Ming strictly abided by the instructions of Tiangong Kaiwu. The rice and wheat drafts were soaked for several days, and then sent to the field after they germinated.

The temporary shed that I worked with Jiang Wan was set up next to the rice seedling field, and I took good care of it for [-] days. Today is the day of transplanting rice seedlings!

Liu Bei followed Kong Mingyou's example, hanging a cloth bag on his body, and then neatly put the seedlings in the seedling field into the cloth bag, and then went to the new field to transplant the seedlings one by one.

After planting half an acre, Liu Bei couldn't help but said:

"Kong Ming, they are willing to welcome me into Yizhou!"

"My lord treats people with sincerity and loves the people like a child, as it should be." Kong Ming said dryly, "My lord, go over there and plant some seedlings, the seedlings are planted crookedly."

"But if this is the case, don't they have the suspicion of betraying the Lord!"

"Liu Zhang is weak, and he is also a member of the clan of the Han Dynasty with the Lord. Although he betrays Liu Zhang, he does not betray the Han Dynasty. The rice seedlings of the Lord are crooked again."

"Even so, I have broken my promise to Liu Jiyu!"

"...My lord, please give me the seedlings. You'd better not plant them." Kong Ming wiped the sweat off his face and drove Liu Bei out.

Liu Bei, who was standing by the field, was still chattering:
"But it's unreasonable. Sunhou Zhou Gongjin can beat Liu Jiyu, but I can't?"

"My lord, you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty."

"That Zhang Lu can betray Liu Jiyu and no one will say anything!"

"Zhang Lu no longer knows what reputation is."

"I……"

"My lord, why don't you come and plant all the seedlings?"

After changing positions with Liu Bei, Kong Ming felt much better standing by the field, and then he felt a little headache:
It seems that the lord still has a hard time accepting that he later became Emperor Zhaolie, and compared to being chased all over the map by Cao Cao before, suddenly the foundation has been auspicious in a year, and even now other people's subordinates are all on the pole to vote, which makes it difficult for the lord to calm down.

It is still necessary to strengthen ideological education work, Kong Ming sat down cross-legged by the field, and planned to have a good chat with Liu Bei.

On the other side, Mi Zhu had already obtained the new paper made by Huang Yueying.

Taking out a piece of paper, Mi Zhu admired after seeing, smelling, smelling and touching: "The best paper is not inferior to Zuo Bo's paper!"

"Mrs. Huang, is this paper famous?"

Huang Yueying shook her head: "In order to distinguish it from other papers in the paper mill, this paper is called red mulberry paper."

Mi Zhu understood, just now Mrs. Huang told how the paper came from.

"The name of red mulberry paper cannot be used!" Mi Zhu directly denied, joking, so that other papermakers could guess what the raw material was just from the name.

Huang Yueying remembered something that was mentioned in the light curtain but was never seen in the end, and said with a smile:
"It's better to echo Zuo Bo's paper, this paper is called Zhuge paper."

Mi Zhu has nothing to do, anyway, the name is not very important to him, the important thing is:

"Mrs. Huang, what is the output of this paper?"

"If it is fully supplied, the monthly output can reach [-] volumes."

"Too few!" Mi Zhu shook his head: "However, we can sell them first to make a name for ourselves in Jiangdong. Mrs. Huang, you need to select a location as soon as possible so that Sun Qian can build a new paper workshop and recruit people."

"Three hundred rolls are still too little?" Huang Yueying was not convinced: "Zuo Bo's paper costs 20 yuan per roll, but this Zhuge paper costs [-] yuan, and after deducting the cost of work, you can get [-] yuan a month!"

"Is it a lot?" Mi Zhu, who used to be worth hundreds of millions, was indifferent: "20 yuan is only 200 good horses, and selling them for a year is not enough for [-] cavalry."

"That's not counting the other expenses of the cavalry." Mi Zhu shook his head: "It's too little."

Huang Yueying was dumbfounded, this was an angle she had never considered.

"As for this printed book, its price is infinite, but it cannot be sold more." Mi Zhu shook his head even regretfully.

Books are very valuable, but if engraved books are sold in large quantities, the price of books will soon plummet.

"About this..." Huang Yueying thought about it: "When I showed Kong Ming the paper and books yesterday, Kong Ming discussed with that secretary named Jiang Wan, and the two had an idea."

"Mr. Mi, do you think it's possible to sell the mansion newspaper with block printing?"

"Dibao?" Mi Zhu was born as a wealthy businessman. Although Tao Qian recruited him to work in Biejia, the time was too short, and he still regarded himself as a businessman more often, so he almost forgot about the Dibao.

At this time, Huang Yueying suddenly felt enlightened when she said it, but soon she was full of doubts:

"However, if the engraved mansion newspaper becomes popular, the art of engraving will soon be learned by others..."

"Mrs. Huang, you need to think twice about this matter and consult the military advisor and the lord."

On the other side, Kong Ming, who was squatting by the field to give Liu Bei a small stove, also received new news:

"My lord, Marquis Sun sent Lu Su to comfort the governor, and he has already entered Jiangling City."

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, the ownership of Jiangling should be decided soon."

"More than that." Kong Ming reminded: "Counting the days, five days later will be the time for the new phase of the light curtain."

 Five thousand favorites!The rookie really didn't expect this result, thank you parents for food and clothing!
