In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

We welcome back Jingzhou.

They held a welcoming banquet right at the governor's mansion in Jiangling Prefecture.

There were no delicacies at the banquet.

Liu Bei's current situation is indeed difficult; all his money has been spent on building up his army, so he can't put on any decent show.

On the table were just ordinary free-range chickens and wild vegetables from Jingzhou.

However, in Zhang Song's eyes, this was a thousand times more delicious than the buffet at Shenwei Lao.

There is no "industrial pollution".

After several rounds of drinks...

Liu Bei dismissed his attendants.

Only Zhuge Liang remained, gently waving his feather fan.

With a solemn expression, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

Open the box,

It was Zhao Yu who got the cement fragments in the north.

When Zhang Song saw this thing, he was completely horrified.

Pointing at the box, as if he had seen a vengeful ghost:

"Demon mud... Uncle, how come you have this kind of demon mud here too!"

"Could it be that you've also been bewitched by Zhao Yu?"

Liu Bei sighed deeply, his eyes filled with concern for his country and its people.

"Brother Yongnian, you've misunderstood."

"This item was a sample brought back from the northern suburbs of Ye City by a spy who risked his life."

"I keep it by my pillow day and night, and I can't eat or sleep properly."

He was indeed very anxious, unable to eat or sleep. If Zhao Yu carried out his plan, he would not be able to keep up with Zhao Yu's pace and would not even be able to get a hot meal.

But when the words are on the tip of your tongue, you still have to lie.

Liu Bei pinched his thigh and cried.

"Just seeing this one piece felt like seeing a vast and magnificent landscape."

"Waaah... It's so heartbreaking!"

"It was these blocks of cement that turned the fertile fields of the Han Dynasty into stone, and the people into mindless monsters..."

These words were like playing the piano while holding Zhang Song's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys in his hands.

"A kindred spirit!!!"

Zhang Song could no longer control himself and rushed over, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Uncle! You're absolutely right! You've hit the nail on the head!"

"I saw it with my own eyes in the northern suburbs of Ye City! They blasted up the mountains! They boiled the stones into water!"

The black smoke billowing from that huge chimney blocked out the sun! It could be seen from miles away!

The more he talked, the more excited he became.

"The scariest thing is... people have changed!"

"The people there have stopped farming! They go to the factory to eat white flour buns! They eat meat twice a day! And they even get paid!"

"Now that they have money, they walk with a swagger, their eyes practically sparkling! This is outrageous!"

"If this continues, people's hearts will be corrupted! Who will still be willing to be a dutiful tenant farmer? Who will still be willing to abide by the rules of our ancestors?"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang exchanged a silent glance.

Although the two are completely on different wavelengths.

Liu Bei feared he wouldn't be able to help Zhao Yu, while Zhang Song feared the collapse of the social structure.

But now it seems that the conclusion is consistent.

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and added,

"My lord, what Zhang Biejia said is absolutely right. Cao Cao and Zhao Yu are really playing a grand game; he wants to spread this 'industrial plague' throughout the world."

"Of all the southern regions, Yizhou is the purest. When Cao Cao marches south, he will definitely start with Hanzhong, then Yizhou, and then Jingzhou."

"Yizhou... Yizhou cannot become an aid to their industrialization."

Zhuge Liang's meaning was all too clear: Zhang Biejia, bring it out.

Zhang Song no longer hesitated and loosened his belt (to hide it well for security).

He pulled out the "Map of Western Sichuan Geography" from his inner garment, which still smelled of his body heat and sweat.

Place the map in front of Liu Bei.

"Imperial Uncle! This is a detailed map of Yizhou!"

"Look at the Daba Mountains! The Qinling Mountains! How difficult the roads are to travel!"

"This is the last line of defense that God left us!"

"Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent; he couldn't defend this peaceful land! He even wanted to send Shu brocade to Cao Cao!"

"If Cao Cong's cement road were built here, the entire south would be doomed!"

Step back, cup your hands in greeting.

"Please, Imperial Uncle, come to Sichuan!"

"It's not about seizing power, it's not about ambition!"

"It's to combat the black smoke! It's to protect the environment! It's to ensure that the people of our Han Dynasty remain simple and honest!"

This reason was exactly what Liu Bei wanted.

This time, Liu Bei did not encounter as many twists and turns as he had with Liu Biao in Jiangling.

"Bei, I accept this. You can rest assured."

"For the sake of the green hills and clear waters of the Han Dynasty... so that the people will not become people who only know how to eat meat..."

"Prepare to defend this Yizhou!"
