Vol 2 Chapter 351: The potential of Jingzhou

The bureaus at various levels within Xiangyang City were the first to be built, and Liu Bei has been staying in the city during these days without going out, so it is not too clear what Liu Yi did during this time.
It's just that when he and everyone came out of the city to watch Xiangyang City, the feeling was suddenly different.
Looking around, the row of fierce tiger heads in Chengtou looked at this side fiercely, even Liu Bei, Guan Yu and other long-time characters, when faced with the purpose of those tigers, even if they knew it was fake, they still have shares. The unspeakable heart palpitations are very light, but they do exist. People like them have this feeling, especially for ordinary soldiers.
In the open mouths of the tigers, the well-destructed crossbow was vaguely visible, and the cold cold mans made people feel like they were on their backs.
In the past, Liu Bei and Guan Yu had discussed how to crack if the enemy used this kind of broken army crossbow to defend the city. I also had some ideas, but at this moment, in the face of those broken army crossbows completely wrapped by tiger head carvings, Any idea becomes a joke.
Guan Yu is right, actually it can be made into a baffle. Tiger head is not necessary at all, but when standing really right outside the city at this moment, the deterrent force brought by the tiger head can be clearly felt.
Behind the account, the rows of dragon heads are as shocking as the visual impact of the dragons and dragons. Liu Bei knows that it is a bucket arch, not knowing it, and thinks it is fine to have flashy carvings on the city walls.
There is no feeling, but when standing outside the city and facing the city wall at that moment, the unspeakable sense of depression makes people a little weaker. It seems that it is not a city but a countless beast. The nest is average.
"What does Yun Chang think?" After watching Liu Bei for a moment, he suddenly looked at Guan Yu.
"Winning without fighting." Guan Yu looked at the city wall for a long time before he whispered. When Liu Yi sculpted before, he was puzzled and felt a little suspicious of taking off his pants, but he was really standing on the opposite side at the moment. At that time, Guan Yu understood a bit, and Liu Yi did not do these things for reasons.
"With such a city, why fear Cao Jun!" Liu Bei was also very cheerful and couldn't help laughing.
In such a majestic city, I asked Cao Jun how much troops he was planning to put in order to break through?
Guan Yu and others also smiled. The Xiangyang City in front of him was not as big as Changan and Luoyang, but in terms of sturdiness, it was enough to be the best in the world.
"According to Bo Yuan's words, this Xiangyang City will be closed at the end of the year, but I don't know what the scene will be at that time?" Pang Tong shook his head aside. He also contributed to the design of Xiangyang City. At the beginning, Liu Yi It's not uncommon to harass him with letters. Now that I see the establishment of Xiangyang City, I feel a little proud in my heart.
Liu Bei nodded and led the crowd down the Hanshui River. From afar, he saw that Fan Cheng was also working there. He was curious and said, "Fan Cheng also has fortifications?"
Guan Yu glanced at him and nodded: "Bo Yuan wanted to build a bridge to connect the Second City of Xiangfan. In this way, no matter which side Cao Jun attacked, it was equivalent to fighting against the Second City of Xiangfan. In addition, the defense of Fan City, Bo Yuan also did Some improvements. "
At first, if Cao Cao built such a bridge, it was not easy for Guan Yu to break the Xiangfan Second City, but according to Liu Yi, in terms of the current building capacity of the remaining princes, even Cao Cao wanted to build such a bridge It is not easy, at least it is difficult to build in a short period of time, but it is easy to be destroyed if it is just a pontoon. As for this one built by Liu Yi, I heard that Liu Yi designed thirty-six independent circular arches to support them, which perfectly supports the bridge. To share the weight.
Anyway, Guan Yu did n’t understand it at the time, but just knew that the bridge could support a lot of power without collapsing because of it. At this moment, the general outline of the bridge had come out. From afar, it was two huge arches. The shape is superimposed and there is a separate small arch between the two arches, which looks quite beautiful.
"Can this bridge pass?" A group of people came to the arch bridge, and the official responsible for the supervisor quickly greeted him and saluted Liu Bei and others. Liu Bei pointed to the arch bridge.
"Go back to the protagonist." The official shook his head and said: "The cement and stones on the bridge have just been paved and are waiting to be solidified at this moment. If they go up at this time, they may destroy the cement."
"Curing?" Liu Bei didn't quite understand, but since he couldn't, he didn't make any demands. He just thought that the bridge was beautiful and wanted to go up and see the scenery of the Han River, but this kind of thing can be done in the future. The crowd continued to move forward.
After Xiangyang, it is a large area of ​​farmland, and you can see small mansions, separated by ten miles or more, scattered across the wilderness.
Liu Yi took everyone to worship Liu Biao, and Xinma Youhe came to a manor. At this moment, when the farm was busy, the two-foot waterwheel slowly rotated, pulling the stone mill in the mill to turn around. The side is constantly filled with cereals.
"These are all farmhouses designed by Bo Yuan. They use waterwheels to automatically push and grind, which saves a lot of energy. The most important thing is that this thing is not difficult to make, even if there is no Tiangongfang people involved, ordinary craftsmen. It can also be made.
Pang Tong explained to Liu Bei with curiosity and explained with a smile:
Moreover, some of the fertilizers in this farm can also be used to feed six animals and poultry. The rich will invite the people of Tiangongfang to help build the farm. Only in the area of ​​Xiangyang, there are hundreds of farms. I heard that Bo Yuan promoted the farm in Changsha, Guiyang and other places, and cultivated many fields. In the four counties of Jingnan alone, millions of hectares of wasteland have been reclaimed in these years. The population of Jingzhou has grown a lot in these years, but there has never been a food shortage, and Bo Yuan has made great contributions. "
Liu Beiwen nodded his head. In the past few years, Liu Bei did not lack in food and grass. This is also an important reason why he can practice benevolence and encourage fertility.
According to estimates by Liu Yi and Zhuge Liang and others, although Jingnan is remote, in fact it has great potential. With the current farming level, if these four counties are developed, the population of the five counties in Jingnan will expand to 6 million. No problem, it is far from being saturated at the moment, and perhaps the day of saturation may not be seen in this life, but it is for this reason that Liu Bei's forces can always maintain a growth trend.
This was also the reason why Liu Yi was so nervous in Jingnan's place, even more so than Jingbei. After all, Jingbei's potential has reached the limit that can be reached at present, and no explosive growth can occur after development, which is different from Jingnan. As long as they are willing to invest enough financial resources and manpower, Jingnan is a treasured land. From the growth rate of Jingnan ’s population in these years, it can be seen that, according to Liu Yi, in another thirty or fifty years, Jingnan will still return There will be an opportunity for a population explosion.
"After this battle, ask Bo Yuan to return to Shuzhong to serve as the Shaofu!" Liu Bei looked at the farm in front of him and smiled and nodded.
The position of the Shaofu is the most suitable position for Liu Yi, and Liu Yi's contributions over the years are enough to place him in Jiuqing.
Pang Tongwen nodded his head. Although Liu Bei, the post of the Shaofu government, is now a little presumptuous, but when this battle is over, Liu Beifeng ’s king is basically a stubborn thing. At that time, Liu Yi is listed in Jiuqing. People dare to object, after all, not to mention credit, the contacts that Liu Yi has accumulated over the years alone are enough to shut up those who see Liu Yi's discomfort.
"Isn't the elder brother want Bo Yuan to calm down Nanzhong?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei somewhat puzzled. The fact that Liu Yi was going to Nanzhong was also heard, although he also felt that Liu Yi was in the position of Shaofu. most suitable.
"Bo Yuan is also a general of Annan, but he can go to Pingding Nanzhong first, and then come back to report his job." Liu Bei smiled and said, Shaofu, although he is in Jiuqing, if he is not a person like Liu Yi, But it was a vain duty. He had already left Liu Yi in this position. He believed that Liu Yi could show his strength in Nanzhong again.
Guan Yu nodded and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I have something to ask my brother to agree."
"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile: "You and my brother have been talking for years, why should we say something out of this? Yun Chang has something to say, so let's be blunt."
"Xing'er is thirteen after this year. When Bo Yuan entered Nanzhong, Xing'er was at the age of his army. Instead of being sheltered by me, it would be better to go with Bo Yuan to Nanzhong." Guan Yu After a moment of silence.
"Is it better to let Xing'er be beside Yunchang?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yudao with some surprise.
"Originally Yu thought so." Guan Yu shook his head and said: "However, the brother should be aware of the frank things."
Guan Ping followed Guan Yu at that time, and his martial arts and abilities were not bad, but he was always difficult to be alone. Later, he went to Jingnan with Liu Yi, but when he came back, some changes occurred, and he no longer obeyed Guan Yu. , With his own claim, although Guan Yu was very angry at the time, but later facts proved that ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Guan Ping also started from that time, and gradually had the ability to lead a county, showing in the battle of Hanzhong Very eye-catching.
And the key to this should be Liu Yi. Therefore, Guan Yu hopes to throw Guan Xing to Liu Yi in advance. He is capable, but he is not very able to teach people, martial arts can teach anything, but how to be alone, obviously Liu Yi is better at it.
"You know ..." Liu Beiwenyan laughed suddenly: "When he went south, Yi De also entrusted the same thing, and wanted to let Bao'er follow Bo Yuan."
Guan Yu: "..."
He suddenly found that his third brother was looking rash, but his mind was quite lively. You should know that Guan Yu's decision has been available for a long time. After all, he gave his son to someone to bring it. Isn't it that he has no ability to teach his son in disguise? This youngest man is simply cruel!
"The second brother is at ease." Liu Bei smiled and said: "Bo Yuan and I were servants before. I think Xing'er and Bao'er would practice next to Bo Yuan, and then Wei Yue, Chen Ergou and Liu San The knife was given to him, and these people, he used it smoothly. "
"Brother said very much."
