Everything in the world has its own rules and regulations, the cycle of cause and effect, and the reincarnation of heaven.

Tonight's banquet left behind today's joy, but no one could have expected that Lu Ling and Fan Tingnan's temporary proposal today would ferment into a storm twenty years later, almost overturning half of the Han Dynasty.

When the young girl knelt down in the center of the banquet hall, Fan Tingnan smiled and said, "Liu Yi, Dongfang Yu, Gongsun Ba, we are hosting a banquet today to entertain distinguished guests. You are still young and do not have a seat, but the ancestors of this county governor have Meng Yin.

, The great plague has great kindness, so I allow you and others to attend. Seeing the three of you eating without drinking, I expected that the elders in your family strictly prohibited it. Wouldn't this greatly reduce the fun? It really goes against the original intention of the banquet. "

Dongfang Yu nodded like a rattle. The little girl had no ability to resist the fragrant wine. She licked her lips playfully and looked at Fan Tingnan with expectation on her face, making everyone laugh.

People in the north are generous, but Fan Tingnan loves Wujiwu, and particularly likes Dongfang Yu's out-of-the-box character, so he smiled and said, "I had a small discussion with Lu Zhonglang just now, and we decided that each of us would come up with a question, and the one with the best answer would be allowed to drink a pot.

If you go home and get settled by the queen, just come to me and Lu Zhonglang, and I guarantee you won't get spanked, hahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and Liu Yi and the other two looked at each other and nodded cautiously.

When Fan Tingnan saw the three people responding, he raised his hand to Lu Ling and said loudly, "Lu Zhonglang, please!"

Lu Ling would not steal this unnecessary limelight. He hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly, "Oh my god, Commander Fan is making fun of you. How dare you take the lead? Commander Fan, please!"

"Then Fan is more respectful than obeying orders!" Fan Tingnan did not refuse, glanced at the three of them with a smile, and said, "Fan, a country man, didn't have any good intentions, so he just used local materials! Hmm.

.., Fan believes that the way to make a country rich is to rarely engage in military service, not to seize the agricultural season, but to seize the secrets of heaven. If you are the head of a county and it happens to be a year of severe drought, what should you do?"

The banquet hall was a little quiet for a while, but after less than ten breaths, Gongsun Ba took the lead and stood up, cupping his hands, and replied, "Sir, I think that if the wind and rain don't come from time to time and the grass and trees dry up, it may be difficult for a county to cope with it. We should open the warehouse and level the grain immediately.

, suppress prices, report to the county governor, and then open up the mountains and rivers, stop collecting commercial taxes, and distribute relief. Finally, the men will join the army and the women will join the workshops to receive salaries to maintain their lives, and the food for the old and young will be returned to the county government. This way

Survive the drought."

Fan and Lu did not express their opinions, but the literati who attended the banquet nodded in agreement. They felt that good officials in the past generations could only deal with great disasters like this. The two old men Gongsun Qiaomu and Dongfang Chunsheng also agreed with Gongsun Ba.

Lots of praise.

In the face of praise, Gongsun Ba was expressionless. He looked at Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, with a hint of provocation and contempt in his eyes.

Dongfang Yu didn't notice these details, but Liu Yi, who had always been timid and cautious, was aware of it. His thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his face was like a wave, but in his heart, there was a storm and he was extremely angry.

Gongsun Ba, although we are common people from a poor family, you must not look down upon others. Tonight, I will let you know what it means to be "no distinction between high and low".

After a while, Liu Yi stood up and held his hands. Seeing his eyes as bright as stars, he said, "Two gentlemen, the most troublesome thing in the world is to manage things in an ordinary way. The head of a county, who has lived in the local area for a long time, should have

Observing the astronomy of a place can tell the geography of a place. Droughts and floods have their own laws. From the beginning of winter, we can know the end of summer, so we can make early preparations. It is the best strategy to block the arrival of soldiers. All grains are respected by the people, and the king takes care of them.

When there is a drought, we look forward to rain, when we are thirsty, we seek for drink. Yi believes that the method of governing the people should focus on regularity. If there are frequent droughts and floods, the county magistrate will miss the farming season, build embankments and beams, clear ditches and rivers, and clear the water.

They use their houses to enjoy their farming activities. In this process, the county government only needs to provide the people with fields and houses, plow cattle, and seeds to prevent insect pests when the treasury is full. In years of severe drought, it has its own ditches to store water.

Let’s help each other, this is the fundamental solution.”

"good!"

Regarding Liu Yi's answer, Fan and Lu nodded slowly.

Gongsun Ba talked about mediocre officials, who relied on superiors for help in everything, while Liu Yi talked about capable officials, who emphasized taking the initiative in everything. Fan and Lu naturally fell into the category of capable officials, and they quite recognized Liu Yi's remarks.

Everyone in the audience also clapped their hands and applauded, and then their eyes focused on Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu's father, Dongfang Lie, is the leader of Xingming Villa, the holy land of famous Han Dynasty. He is unparalleled in his acumen. Dongfang Yu's grandfather, Dongfang Chunsheng, is said to be a famous figure who has never been born in a century. Twenty years ago, he was also a famous figure in the world.

, if it weren’t for some random coincidence, I’m afraid the old man would be a scholar in the upper realm now. How could he be bullied by Liu Bu, the watchdog of the Liu family in Lingyuan!

As the saying goes, I am a hero and my son is a good man. Everyone is very curious about what kind of clever words a child raised in such a family will have.

Dongfang Yu didn't let everyone wait. A clear voice suddenly 'exploded' in the center of the banquet hall. Dongfang Yu, who disliked the immature tiger-head boots and hats, specially changed into a snow-white plain clothes for the banquet today, combed her hair into a small bun, and

She looks like a stunningly beautiful woman.

Seeing her peach lips slightly parted, revealing her young tiger teeth, she blurted out an astonishing statement, "Oh my, Gongsun Ba and Brother Yi's ideas are too troublesome. If there is no food, we will go out to grab it! Let's pull the young men of the county

When you go to the northern Xinjiang, there are cattle and sheep from the Qin Dynasty. If you snatch one or two thousand of them and come back, won't it end? I heard that every time there is a severe drought, the northern Qin thieves will march south. Our ancestors

Didn't Emperor Wu have an old saying that says, 'If the enemy can go, I can go too'? If there is a severe drought, how about using the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep of the Qin Dynasty to make rain?"

The banquet hall was quiet and somewhat empty for a while.

Following the cry of an oriole outside the house, the warriors shouted loudly.

"That's right, rob his mother!" "Xu Daqin's gang of wolf cubs robbed us, why can't we rob them? Good job!"...

It seems that Dongfang Yu has won the unanimous support of the warriors present. Even Han Li and Death Shichen have excited expressions on their faces. They are great chivalrous men who devote themselves to serving the country. Dongfang Yu's words are not exactly what they are.

Is it what Jianghu knights have been pursuing?

Fan and Lu both laughed out loud at this absolutely different answer. Thinking of the joyful atmosphere of today's dinner, Fan Tingnan happily said to Dongfang Yu, "Although I am a girl, my ambition is higher than that of a boy, and my future life is formidable."

, the future life is formidable! My child, you win this question!"

Holding a pot of wine in his hand, Dongfang Yufeng rolled his eyes, secretly gestured to Liu Yi, said "Thank you, Sir", and returned to his seat with a smile.

Regarding Dongfang Yu's inexplicable victory, Liu Yi and Gongsun Ba just regarded it as a farce. The two of them looked at Lu Ling intently. For them, the real competition had begun!

Lu Ling looked at the fiery gazes of the two men and simply struck while the iron was hot. He coughed lightly and said, "I have a question, you two young men, who is the king of the world?"

Less than three breaths later, Gongsun Ba replied. He was obviously impatient, fearing that Liu Yi would seize the opportunity, so he hurriedly said, "The king teaches Yin and Yang, and then uses the six laws of the four o'clock to uphold the Taiyi and cage the heaven and the earth.

To intimidate the world, to lose sight of the mountains and rivers, to breathe out the yin and yang, to stretch out the ceremonial guard, to follow the eight poles of discipline, to have strong soldiers and armor, and to combine the longitude and latitude of the world, it is said that 'the whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers'."

Liu Yi, who entered the world from the bottom of the market, had a special understanding of the word 'king'. He said softly, "Well... a king should devote his whole life to making the people dignified and the powerful to have a bottom line.

Children can study, scholars pay what they have learned, warriors stop swordsmanship, there are no wars on the frontiers, and war horses are released in the southern mountains. If everything is peaceful, the world will be in good health. Yi thought that if you can do these, you will be a king. Even if you are not a king, you will still be a king."

Lu Ling spoke meaningfully, walked up to Liu Yi, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "This wine is yours!"

Gongsun Ba was so angry that he slammed the door and left!
Chapter completed!
