The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 386 The Way of Hospitality
"Well, Li Yuan's strength should still be higher than mine now, what should I do in the future." After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao was even more worried. He was always conceited, but he would lose confidence when facing Li Yuan.

"However, in Jia's opinion, the lord is better than Li Yuan."

"Feng Xiao doesn't need to comfort me, I, Cao, still know myself." Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was comforting him.

"Jia is not trying to comfort the lord, but really thinks so. Li Yuan's victory over Sun Ce is to defeat the weak. , Zhou Yu is smart and can't beat four hands with two fists, so Li Yuan's victory over Sun Ce is expected."

Guo Jia explained: "However, it is different for the lord to defeat Yuan Shao. At the beginning, Yuan Shao was stronger than the lord. His military strength was several times that of our army, and the money and food were innumerable. No one favored us when our army fought Yuan Jun. However, in the end we defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu. After Yuan Shao died of illness, his sons who were not good enough are no match for us, as long as we defeat Hebei one by one, it will be the lord's, and the lord's victory over Yuan Shao with the weak is better than Li Yuan!"

"Hahahaha, what Feng Xiao said is that there is nothing to be proud of Li Yuan's victory over the weak by the strong, and my real ability is to defeat the strong by the weak." Cao Cao regained his confidence after listening to Guo Jia's words, even Xun You He was taken aback for a while, and thought that Guo Jia could really speak. In Cao Ying, Cao Cao's most trusted people were Xun Yu and Guo Jia, apart from the Cao clan.

In the next year or so, Cao Cao will attack Hebei with all his strength. With his current strength, he can't compete with Li Yuan. Only after he conquers Hebei will he have the capital.

After Li Yuan returned to Xiapi, he lived an ordinary life again. Of course, he did not embarrass Sun Quan and others in Xiapi. He asked Mi Zhu to choose a good mansion for Sun Quan to live in, and arranged servants and servants for him. This move is worthy of Sun Ce.

In fact, Sun Quan and his party were shocked when they entered Xiapi for the first time, because the prosperity here is far better than that of Wu County. In fact, since they entered Xuzhou, they found that the people all over Xuzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were no disasters. There was no famine, and almost every household could not pick up lost items on the road, and did not close their doors at night. The prosperity of Xiapi was even better than that of Luoyang back then. Everyone lamented Li Yuan's management methods.

"Brother Gongjin, are you satisfied with the situation in Xiapi?" Li Yuan specially invited Zhou Yu out today, and personally took them to experience the prosperity of Xiapi. Zhou Tai and Chen Wu also came with them because they were worried about Zhou Yu's safety.

"Yu has already heard about the prosperity of Xiapi. Seeing it today opened my eyes. I didn't expect General Li to be so good at internal affairs besides marching and fighting. Yu deeply admires it."

Zhou Yu admired it from the bottom of his heart. He had thought that Xiapi would be very prosperous, but he never expected it to be so prosperous. Such a scene is simply a peaceful and prosperous world. This is what he and Sun Ce are pursuing. After dominating the world, create a peaceful and prosperous world. Of course, this The peaceful and prosperous age is different from what the Yellow Turban Army said in the past.In fact, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places were very prosperous under Li Yuan's governance, but the prosperity of Xiapi has reached its contemporary peak.

Zhou Tai and Chen Wu looked around as if entering a city from a big village, they were curious about everything they saw.

At this time, Li Yuan took them to the most prosperous commercial street. This street was built by Li Yuan with the help of Mi Zhu. The whole street was paved with bricks and stones. The road was flat and wide. Everything can be bought, and there are a lot of people buying things, which shows that the business of the shops is very good.

In fact, what surprised Zhou Yu the most was the cleanliness of the street. It was the first time he saw that such a crowded place could be kept clean. He couldn't help wondering, "How did General Li keep a busy street clean?"

"Hahahaha, it's actually very simple, just do three steps."

"The three steps, please advise General Li." Zhou Yu said modestly.

"First, I issued a ban as early as seven or eight years ago, so that the people in the city are not allowed to throw garbage on the street at will. Those who violate the order will be punished. Of course, the punishment will not be too heavy, and only a certain amount will be charged. Money and silver."

Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Zhou Yu interjected, "General Li must be opposed by many people for doing this, and how do you know which people threw the garbage?"

"Indeed, as Brother Gongjin said, it was very difficult at the beginning, but I arranged soldiers to patrol the streets every day. First, I could supervise the people, and second, I could reduce the occurrence of theft. Change the habits of the people." Li Yuan continued, "Second, I will arrange people to clean the streets every day to keep the streets tidy; rubbish, so that the streets are kept clean."

Zhou Yu suddenly realized that these things seemed very simple, but no one could have thought of them before Li Yuan said them out, and it is not easy to change the living habits of the people, at least it will take several years to do it, it can be seen from this Li Yuan spent a lot of thought on governing, and Zhou Yu admired him even more.

Although Zhou Tai and Chen Wu couldn't understand what Li Yuan was saying, they both felt that they were very powerful. After all, even Zhou Yu felt that he was very powerful, so how could they deny it.

Chen Wu's stomach growled suddenly, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. Zhou Tai on the side gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Zi Lie, don't embarrass General Zhou, bear with it!"

"I want to endure it too, but I didn't eat breakfast this morning. I don't even think I'm hungry." Chen Wu muttered, although he knew he was ashamed, but he was really hungry...

"I made General Li laugh." Zhou Yu said awkwardly.

"It's okay. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. When people are hungry, they must eat. Today I invite you to eat at the most famous 'Zifenglou' in Xiapi." Li Yuan decided to take Zhou Yu to Zuifenglou and let them have a taste Food in Xiapi.

Zuifenglou is the property of the Mi family. It is well-known in Xiapi. Even Li Yuan’s civil servants and military generals like to go to Zuifenglou for dinner, because the chefs here cook delicious dishes. Once you eat it once, you will never worry about returning customers. .

Li Yuan brought Zhou Yu and his party to Zuifenglou. The waiter in the store was very clever. He could see that Li Yuan was dressed unusually. He knew that he must be a high-ranking official. He hurried over and invited Li Yuan and others in.

"These guest officers must be coming to Xiapi for the first time. Our Zuifenglou is the most famous restaurant in Xiapi. The dishes are guaranteed to satisfy you. I invite you to the elegant seats on the third floor." The waiter bent over and smiled very respectfully. , he suddenly found that Li Yuan had a kind face, but he couldn't remember his name for a moment.
