When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 653: Pang Tongfa is really going to kill me, right? Is he really going to kill me? !
Liu Bei closed his eyes and opened them again, and he came to the theater again.

As usual, he first had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhen De, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Then, while memorizing the script, he gathered his brothers and nephews to ask about Tianzhu's recent situation.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Thanks to the lord, Kong Ming and a group of wise ministers in the court, with the support of their policies, materials and manpower. I have lived up to your expectations. Not only did we conquer Khwarezm without bloodshed, but now the high-quality rice has been widely promoted, and the per-acre yield has doubled. Not only can it sustain our daily consumption, but we can even squeeze out a considerable portion to send back to the Han Dynasty."

"Haha, good, good." Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others all smiled. Food is the most important thing in the world. Food is the cornerstone of maintaining national stability. Whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion decades ago or the various peasant uprisings recorded in the fairyland. Most of them were forced to do so. They had been farming for a lifetime, but in the end, they could not afford a grain of rice at home. Rebellion means death, and not rebellion means death. The former was killed, and the latter was starved to death. It was the same death, so it was better to give it a try than to wait for death.

In addition, all walks of life in the Han Dynasty now need subsidies, and the most cost-effective subsidy is food.

The bulk of the subsidies went to local government schools. In the past, for a commoner's family, giving birth to a boy meant labor, while giving birth to a girl meant losing money. If the family had little wealth, they would most likely drown the baby girl. If they were even poorer, they would treat both baby boys and baby girls the same.

What the Han Dynasty lacked was people, and drowning baby girls was obviously not conducive to the growth of the Han population. From the Qin Dynasty to the present, the imperial court had repeatedly prohibited drowning babies.

People are not fools. Even if the court writes the prohibition of drowning babies into the law, it cannot prevent such things from happening.

It’s just like treating an illness. You can’t treat a headache by curing your feet, right?

Therefore, starting from the Zhaoning period, the government increased the people's income while providing food subsidies to local government schools. As long as the children were of school age, they could not only attend school for free, but also receive two meals a day for the first three years of school.

In this way, the dilemma of people not having enough food to feed their children can be temporarily solved, and the problem of people not wanting to send their children to school can also be solved.

In the present Jian'an period, the three years of meals have been increased to six years.

"The main credit for subsidizing official schools lies with Kongming, Xiaozhi, Wenhe, and Yuanzhi." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng and praised them highly.

Fa Zheng objected on the spot, "My Lord, my contribution is worthless compared to Kong Ming. It was Kong Ming who made the detailed plan, and I just carried it out according to Kong Ming's plan."

"A single tree cannot make a forest. I feel unworthy of your words." Zhuge Liang shook his head.

The two men tried to shirk the credit, and Zhang Fei could not bear it any longer. "Prime Minister, Shangshu Ling, if you don't want the credit, then give it to me! It's all my credit!"

After Zhang Fei's shout, the atmosphere around became cheerful.

While laughing, Liu Bei did not forget to mention Deng Ai.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong in Tianzhu raised their eyebrows. Deng Ai actually has such a personality? He really needs to be polished.

Ma Dai and Ma Chao showed great interest. They had not yet met the last great general Jiang Wei, but had met Deng Ai, who was against Jiang Wei, in advance.

Now, my hands are itching!
"Don't go overboard." Liu Bei glanced at the two of them and warned.

Ma Dai immediately patted his chest and said on behalf of himself and Ma Chao, "My lord, you can rest assured. We two brothers are the two pillars of the Ma family. We are always calm and reliable!"

Always stable and reliable
Could you please take that eager look off your face first?

Liu Bei could only ask Guan Yu to look after him.

Everyone was chatting and laughing while reciting the script. When Liu Bei had almost finished reciting the script, the phone in his pocket rang as expected. When he answered the phone, it was Zhen De. After the call, Liu Bei stood up and announced, "Brothers, get ready to shoot the scene of entering Sichuan."

In the theater.

Zhen De found the actor who played "Liu Zhang", and it just so happened that this actor also had the surname Liu.

"Teacher Liu, this week's filming will be very hard for you. You may face a lot of pressure during the filming. We can set a secret code or gesture. If you can't hold on any longer, you can say the secret code or make a gesture and take a rest before filming again."

The actor Liu Zhang immediately perked up, "Director Zhen, pressure? What kind of pressure? Can you tell me more about it?"

"To put it simply, the actor who plays opposite you, teacher, has a very strong aura."

"Hey!" The actor Liu Zhang interrupted Zhen De's words. He said nonchalantly, "Director Zhen, I thought you had arranged a martial arts scene for me. Director Zhen, don't worry. What kind of pressure can there be in a literary scene? Even if there is, that would be great. For actors like us who have a very narrow acting range, this is a rare opportunity, an opportunity to break through the audience's inherent impression!"

As they were talking, the actor "Liu Zhang" began to chatter non-stop, pulling Zhen De to talk about the past to the present and from all over the world.

Zhen De felt overwhelmed because the actor in front of him was a veteran actor and a good friend of the actor who played Cai Mao last time.

After all, old actors like these are much better than today's traffic stars in terms of both moral character and acting skills. They are what real actors are.

It’s just that almost all of them are drama fans, and the one in front of me is not only a drama fanatic, but also a chatterbox.

Torture, torture.

What other options are there at the moment?

You can only smile, right? After all, these are seniors with both virtue and talent.

There was nothing unexpected during the filming of the scenes entering Sichuan.

However, the actor who played "Liu Zhang" had become a weakling after he stepped away from the camera, and his legs could not stop shaking.

Zhen De handed over the towel he had prepared for a long time, and asked knowingly, "Teacher Liu, what's wrong with you?"

The actor who played 'Liu Zhang' took the towel and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. There was still some fear on his face, but he was more stubborn than anyone else. "Thank you Director Zhen for your concern. I'm fine. I just have my old cold legs. Haha."

He was crying out in pain in his heart. Did Pang Tong and Fa Zheng in front of the camera really want to kill me? ! Did they really want to kill me? ! If it weren't for Uncle Liu stepping in to stop them, would I still be able to finish the banquet alive? !

Zhen De said admiringly: "Teacher Liu is indeed a veteran actor, amazing, amazing, how about canceling the secret code and hand gestures?"

The actor who played Liu Zhang was immediately anxious, "No, no. Ahem, it's better to be safe than sorry. What if it comes in handy? We should keep it, keep it."

Zhen De smiled and said, "Haha, listen to Teacher Liu. I will listen to Teacher Liu."
