Chapter 211 Xuzhou’s new atmosphere, the nobles feel deeply in crisis

Seeing Liu Bei so angry, Mi Zhu immediately stepped forward to persuade him and said, "Uncle Liu Huang, don't be angry anymore. My brother Mi Fang is just a commoner. With his talents, he is not enough to achieve anything."

"Besides, my little sister and servants are all staying in Xuzhou City. You don't have to worry too much about my brother returning home."

Liu Bei was still angry and shouted to his third brother Zhang Fei, "Having said that, people who don't know the truth about Mi Fang running home will definitely say that I, Liu Bei, am a heartless and unjust person!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, "Third brother, I have always warned you, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and Sun Qian are kind to me, Liu Bei, and they must be treated well. You tell me..."

At this moment, Liu Bei felt disappointed and said to Zhang Fei angrily, "You are not allowed to drink alcohol for a month!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "Brother, your... punishment is too severe!"

If Liu Bei wanted to punish him, even if he was beaten, he would not hesitate to do so. However, he would not be able to bear it if he was asked not to drink for a month.

When Guan Yu saw this, he knew that Liu Bei was really angry this time. He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "Brother, the third brother cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. You don't know something. Mi Fang has given us a lot of military glory through his family. Just rely on favor and become arrogant..."

"I just wanted to take the opportunity to remind him. Who would have thought that he would actually run away? If I had known this, I would have let him stay at home."

Seeing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei was helpless and sighed.

Now he is temporarily living in Xinye, with only 15,000 troops and horses in his hands. In order to increase his strength, he originally wanted to implement benevolent government and live and eat with the people. Now that Mi Fang has left, once Mi Zhu is dissatisfied with him because of this, if he is Liu Bei treated the corporal badly and was ungrateful to his benefactor, which will definitely damage his prestige.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Liu Bei. It seemed that these two people had not thought about this level of interest at all.

Liu Bei pointed at Zhang Fei and said angrily, "Is this a serious punishment? I guess you drank too much, how dare you be disrespectful to your benefactor and hurt others!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei knew that he was in the wrong and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but he hated Mi Fang very much in his heart.

Mi Fang was really good at picking the time, but she showed up when he was drunk. Once drunk, Zhang Fei could not control his violent temper.

But Zhang Fei knew that the matter had come to an end and did not dare to say any more. He just felt hatred in his heart: Bastard Mi Fang made me unable to drink for a month!



Xuzhou City, Xiapi.

That afternoon, Mi Fang took Zhuge Liang to take stock of all the family property. There were more than 4,300 servants. The rest of the material property was very rich, and could fund an army of almost 30,000 people.

These supplies are enough to feed 100,000 people in Xiapi City for half a year.

Zhuge Liang really couldn't believe that Mi Fang was really willing to give such rich supplies directly to Master Xi?

Does Mi Fang really have any other sinister plans regarding this matter?

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was worried, Mi Fang hurriedly said, "Mr. Kong Ming, is this money not enough?"

"If this money is not enough, I still have other properties. Moreover, Chen Deng and Chen Gui and his son will donate money and food every year. If necessary, I will take back the donation."

"It's completely enough, but..." Zhuge Liang was very curious and asked, "But if you donate all this money, how can you start a family?"

"I have already thought about this matter. As long as your Excellency allows it, I will recruit 4,300 servants into the army. When the time is right, I will send troops to kill the Zhuojun butcher!"

Mi Fang said angrily. After saying this, he felt the right side of his face still hurting deeply.

When Zhuge Liang saw this, he suddenly realized that Mi Fang was very vindictive, so it was no wonder that she was the "old Zhuozhou big-eared post".

After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said, "It's actually like this, so I understand this matter."

After this incident, Zhuge Liang no longer had a good impression of Mi Fang, and felt that Mi Fang was not very popular and was greedy for life and afraid of death.

If the adults are in trouble in the future, Mi Fang is afraid that she will turn against him to save her life?

At this time, Mi Fang said with a smile, "Then Mr. Kongming is responsible for this matter. However, I have one more thing that I would like to ask you..."

Zhuge Liang replied: "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me sir, do you have any special preferences? If so, I would like to send some to you."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I've only been with you for a few months, so I don't know your preferences. However, I heard that... you already have three wives and concubines. Maybe you like beauties."

Mi Fang was immediately overjoyed, "So... very good. I have a little girl in my family who is as beautiful as a fairy and of the right age for marriage!"

Mi Fang was looking forward to it and looked at Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Kong Ming, can you please come forward and talk to me as a matchmaker?"

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, "Do you really have a beautiful girl in your family?"

Mi Fang said confidently, "Of course it is true. My little sister Mi Yun is nineteen years old. She is well-educated and sensible. She is as beautiful as a fairy. She has a cheerful personality and will definitely be loved by adults."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang gently clapped his hands with the feather fan in his hand. This feather fan was a gift from Xi Yu and he liked it very much.

"If this is true, your little sister will become rich..."

"I will agree to this matter and go back and report it to your lord."

Zhuge Liang tightened the feather fan in his hand, took the account book from Mi Fang's hand, and ordered his servants to move some of the money to the government office first, and keep the rest for home use.

Nowadays, Mi Fang is the one who calls the shots in the Mi family.

Fortunately, the relationship between Liu Bei and Xi Yu has not broken down, otherwise, things would be very difficult to handle.

At that time, Liu Bei was afraid of Xi Yu, so he stayed away from Xuzhou and hid in Nanyang County without even receiving the merit of longevity.



That night, Zhuge Liang met Xi Yu with his account books.

After reading the account books and listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Xi Yu was very surprised, "Is this serious? Mi Fang wants to give his little sister to me?"

Zhuge Liang nodded immediately and took the opportunity to praise Mi Fang's little sister.

"You spoke so well of his little sister, have you ever seen this woman?"

Zhuge Liang replied, "I've never seen it."

"I've never seen it before, how dare you praise me like this?" Xi Yu said with a smile.

"Mi Fang told me, I don't think he would dare to lie to me." Zhuge Liang replied with a smile.

There was a strange look on Xi Yu's face

Mi Fang's sister is not Mrs. Mi in the future, but Mi Yun has not yet left the court, so this is a good thing...

But Xi Yu was very confused, "It's just that now I have three wives and concubines. If I accept Mi Fang's kindness, this matter... is not appropriate, right?"

"Sir, beauties have been paired with heroes since ancient times. You are the hero of today. What's the harm in having more wives and concubines?"

"Haha, there is some truth to this. We will discuss this matter in the future..."



After Zhuge Liang left, Xi Yu also left the government office.

It was already winter, and he wanted to go to a warm place, so he came to Tiangongyuan.

After a long time, Xi Yu finally plucked up the courage and walked in. The person who received him was naturally Zou.

It wasn't until late in the night that Xi Yu came out. Xi Yu was full of energy and his eyes were very bright. Thinking of Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he smiled to himself, "It's so refreshing! Today I have experienced the beauty of the Prime Minister's hobby...

…”

In the winter of this year, a three-day banquet was held in Xuzhou City, which was very lively. Xi Yu married Mi Jun, the daughter of the Mi family, and the people respectfully called her Mrs. Mi.

Mrs. Mi is the daughter of the Mi family, a family of merchants in Xuzhou. Xi Yu married Mrs. Mi, which made the people of Xuzhou closer to him. Mrs. Mi soon became a popular figure in Xuzhou city.

In this way, Xuzhou City, under the control of Xi Yu, would be united and stable.

At the same time, the Academy of Sciences built in the inner city of Xiapi was successfully completed, covering a total area of ​​nearly 120,000 square meters, like a huge military camp.

Inside the Academy of Sciences, there are new gravel roads, hot springs, and blacksmith furnaces. There are also a design institute, a Tiangong institute, an internal school, a military school, an agricultural school, a Confucian school, and a medical school...

It is as large as nearly eighty courtyards and covers almost all areas of people's livelihood and military affairs.

Soon, the Academy of Sciences caused a huge sensation in Xiapi City!

This majestic building, like a palace, has become something that everyone talks about after dinner.

Moreover, the Academy of Sciences was affiliated to the government office run by Xi Yu, and soon launched many benevolent policies.

When the government office formulates future development strategies, it will select some people as representatives from the common people and let them put forward corresponding needs. After the spring, officials will elaborate and evaluate these needs and then formulate corresponding policies.

Such an enlightened move that benefited the people made the poor scholars who had just obtained an official position in Xuzhou very excited. The fire of hope was ignited in their hearts, and the people were more willing to work in the fields.

As a result, Xuzhou has reclaimed more than twice as much wasteland as last year, and horse farms and animal husbandry have also been vigorously developed.

Newly appointed officials from various places, with the strong support of the people, have started a vigorous spring plowing!

From top to bottom, there is enthusiasm!

At this time, Zhuge Liang had become the Diannong Officer and was responsible for compiling all Diannong strategies in Xiapi City. Every day before dawn, Zhuge Liang took the little book boy Zhuge Yi to the fields.

Zhuge Liang was very grateful to Xi Yu and gave him a satisfactory job. He was confident that with his intelligence and talents, he would be able to easily manage all the farmland in Xuzhou.

Zhuge Liang has this ability, so he must seize this opportunity and start the road of internal affairs.

At this time, although Guo Jia is the closest person to Xi Yu, he is still Xi Yu's meritorious service.

At this time, Xi Yu had already moved all his official affairs to the office in the Academy of Sciences. There were twenty tables in the huge hall for twenty scholars to handle official affairs.

These people were all found to be filial and honest, and they were all people with excellent moral character and reputation. Xi Yu arranged to serve in the government office and was responsible for the compilation of official affairs. Guo Jia was in charge of these people and compiled all reported events and strategies.
