All the people want is nothing more than food and clothing, and although the word clothing comes first, the word food is even more important.

Xun Chen understood immediately. It turned out that what Liu Chan was talking about was the high-yielding grain.

With food as the foundation, it is indeed a powerful tool to win over the people.

As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for people.

There is also the saying of parents who provide food and clothing, and those who provide food and clothing are as kind as their parents.

How can you, as a child, sit back and watch when your parents are in trouble?

Therefore, everything Liu Chan said today is based on having "high-yielding grain" that people can't even imagine.

Now, although Xun Chen has not seen Liu Chan's so-called "high-yield grain", after today's discussion, he already knows three important pieces of information.

The first is Liu Chan's analysis and strategy of the overall situation of the world, the second is the treasure he possesses that is unique in the world, and the third is his philosophy of governing the country.

With these three points in mind, Xun Chen's heart has begun to move. As long as Liu Chan wins the bet between them, he will go all out to help Liu Chan realize his dream of home and country.

Now, he no longer asked Liu Chan, but instead chatted with Zhuge Liang about "everyday affairs".

It's just that the "mundane things" they talked about were exactly what Liu Chan said just now about the wealthy families.

Whether it is Zhuge Liang or Xun Chen, they were born in aristocratic families, and they know very well about the matters of aristocratic families.

However, Liu Chan was confused and did not hear the whole story. What reassured him was that he heard the words "suppressing the merger of aristocratic families."

This shows that they are discussing what Liu Chan is worried about.

Liu Chan was completely at ease with Zhuge Liang, so he quietly slipped out without disturbing the two "smart people" who were talking in detail.

He believed that with Zhuge Liang's ability, he would never let Xun Chen, who was "sent to his door", escape.

…

And when he just walked out of the lobby, he heard a person shouting: "Young Master, please stay!"

He turned his head curiously and saw a heavily armed soldier approaching, panting as if he had been looking for him for a long time.

When the soldier approached, he asked curiously: "Are you looking for me?"

The soldier did not hesitate and said quickly: "Young Master, General Guan has been waiting for you in the side hall for a long time!"

"Second Uncle Guan? He's back so soon?"

Liu Chan felt puzzled for a while and followed the soldier to the side hall.

Along with Guan Yu, there were four other people waiting for Liu Chan in the side hall.

One of them was a leader who had raised horses under Liu Chan's special instructions, while the other three were Xun Chen's "friends".

Liu Chan walked into the side hall and saw that only four of the six people who were supposed to come were now there, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Second Uncle Guan, why are you so fast?" Liu Chan asked Guan Yu with a smile on his face.

"Have you forgotten? The military camp is not far from the city. After I handed them over to your Uncle Zhang to settle down, I took them back on horseback. You asked them to come, what do you have to explain?"

Guan Yu briefly explained a few words, and then asked straight to the point.

Liu Chan smiled and said: "I was about to ask Uncle Guan, why are there still two people missing?"

Guan Yu explained: "The three of them all know each other, and Sun Li is the one with the most experience in raising horses among the three of them. Now the other two are in charge of horses in the army. If you have anything, just tell him.

, he will tell the other two people then!"

When Liu Chan heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had seen hundreds of tall horses outside the city gate just now. Naturally, they had to take care of those horses.

He smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask them if they can build a racecourse!"

"Racecourse?"

Guan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Chan said: "Yes, a racecourse that specializes in breeding, raising and training war horses! Aren't we short of horses here?"

When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately thought: "Since ancient times, northerners are good at land warfare, and southerners are good at water warfare. In addition to the fact that there are many plains in the north and many rivers and lakes in the south, the most important thing is that the north produces horses.

And the south is short of horses!”

"If we just protect the territory and the people there, as long as we work hard on water warfare, we will be safe. But now if we want to go north to compete with Cao Cao, war horses are very important!"

"If we can really build several large horse farms in Jingzhou to provide a steady stream of war horses for the army, our chances of winning against the Northern Army will increase by 10%."

"It's indeed a blessing for Adou to have this idea. But Jingzhou doesn't produce horses. Where do these horses come from?"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly and said: "Adou, your suggestion is good, but we don't produce horses here!"

Liu Chan looked at Guan Yu with a smile, waved to him gently, and motioned for him to lean down.

Guan Yu followed it with a puzzled look on his face, and Liu Chan said seriously in his ear: "I know this. Although Jingzhou does not produce horses, Yizhou is a place that produces horses, and Liangzhou's horses are even more brave.

Incomparable, if we don’t have it now, it doesn’t mean we won’t have it in the future. We can also make plans early!”

When Guan Yu heard this, he was stunned and thought: "What Adou said is that everything cannot be limited to the present. The eldest brother has already entered Shu. Yizhou must be captured by the eldest brother sooner or later. And Liangzhou, Ma Liang and others have also passed on

When I come back after receiving the letter, after I capture Yizhou, I might as well be able to connect with Liangzhou."

Guan Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he laughed loudly: "What Adou said is that this matter can indeed be planned in advance!"

As soon as he said this, the four people behind him looked puzzled. They didn't know what they were planning and looked curious.

"Ding, congratulations to the host. You have completed the initial breakthrough in the task of 'Journey to Increase Prestige Value' and gained Guan Yu's praise. The prestige value has increased by 0.2 points. The task completion progress is 1%. Please keep up your efforts, host!"

The sudden system prompt reminded Liu Chan that there was still a hidden task that had not been completed.

Looking at the close-up progress of 1% on the window in his mind, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Just when he was suddenly stunned because of the system prompt, Guan Yu pointed at the other three people and asked: "What about them?"

Liu Chan said: "As for them, it depends on how Mr. Xun arranges them."

"Xun Youruo decided to stay?"

Guan Yu's eyes were bright again, and his expression was a little excited.

When Liu Chan saw this, he couldn't help being shocked and thought: "When I was studying with Longzhong, I still remember that Guan Yu disapproved of Zhuge Liang. Why is he so cold to this Xun Chen now! How powerful is he?"

He was interested in Xun Chen, firstly because when talking to him during the day, Liu Chan was surprised by Xunchen's way of speaking, secondly because Guan Yu revealed Xunchen's former identity as Yuan Shao's counselor, and thirdly because of Zhuge Liang's attitude.

But he had no idea how powerful Xun Chen was.
