Chapter 34: It's really hard to convince Zhang Fei

"Move? Is there something you can't say here?!"

However, Zhang Fei seemed to want Liu Chan to confront Wu Yun and Wu Sanlin here, and had no intention of moving away.

Liu Chan stared at Zhang Fei and said with disbelief: "Are you sure you want to say it here?"

Zhang Fei didn't hesitate at all and replied decisively: "Of course!"

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said helplessly: "Well, let me ask Uncle Zhang, do you think our foothold in Jingzhou is stable?"

Zhang Fei was startled when he heard this, stared at Liu Chan, and blurted out: "What? What did you say?"

Liu Chan was helpless and said: "I said..."

"shut up!"

But as soon as he said two words, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped him and pulled him aside.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Zhang Fei asked in a low voice with a serious face.

"Of course I know. I just told you to move, but you didn't want to!" Liu Chan said with an aggrieved look.

"I didn't know you were going to say such a thing!" After Zhang Fei blurted out this sentence, he suddenly froze, stared at Liu Chan and asked: "No! How could you say such a thing? Are you the Adou I know?

?!"

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Liu Chan was suddenly stunned, but after a moment, he pouted and said: "Humph! Don't you know I am a genius?!"

Although they had only been in contact for a few days, he had already clearly felt that Zhang Fei loved him very much, so he boldly acted coquettishly towards Zhang Fei!

When Zhang Fei saw this, his thoughts began to come alive:

"Genius? Judging from what he said in the lobby today, it's really possible! It's just that I always thought Adou was naughty in the past, but I didn't expect him to have such a talent!"

"But why didn't he show it before? Could it be that he hurt his head that day and became like this?"

"Did I hit you?"

"No! My eldest brother is also self-taught in these matters. From a commoner to a prince, Adou is his son. It is understandable that he has such a talent!"

"Yes! That's it, I definitely didn't hit you!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei finally convinced himself and asked calmly: "Oh? Then you can tell me where you are genius?"

Liu Chan said seriously: "Third uncle, how can we keep the Jingzhou we occupy now in our hands forever?"

Zhang Fei was not surprised and said seriously: "What's so difficult about this! With the elite soldiers guarding the city and the good governance of the people, Jingzhou is in our hands and it can be said to be impregnable!"

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but thought in surprise: "I didn't realize that Zhang Fei's political ability is not bad!"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang is right, but does Sanshu think he has achieved both of these aspects?"

"this……"

Liu Chan's rhetorical question made Zhang Fei stunned. At present, they only have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but Liu Bei has taken 30,000 with him when he entered Sichuan, and the troops left in Jingzhou are only 5,000. If there are really enemy soldiers to attack

, whether Jingzhou can be defended is still a question.

On the other hand, after Cao Cao's southern campaign, the people of Jingzhou were devastated and were already in dire straits. However, since they acquired Jingzhou for more than a year, in order to support the army, they had to collect taxes from the people of Jingzhou.

Life has become increasingly difficult.

Some things are very easy to say, but very difficult to do.

Nowadays, we don’t know where the elite soldiers come from, and good governance is even more difficult to achieve!

So what Zhang Fei just said was self-defeating. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis coming over him and couldn't help but be speechless.

Liu Chan saw that Zhang Fei was stunned for a long time and still didn't speak, so he continued: "I just know that these two things are not easy to do, so I decided to find another way and let them do it for us."

"He knows? He actually knows such a thing at such a young age! Brother, God bless the Han Dynasty!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but be shocked.

But he still said calmly: "But just them? Rogue bandits? If they don't cause trouble, they have already helped us! Do you still expect them to work for us?"

Liu Chan said: "It's true that they are rogue bandits who fell into the grass, but they are different from ordinary bandits! They were also good people under the rule of one party, but they were forced to fall into the grass because their lives were unsustainable! And they have not caused any harm so far.

There are people in the countryside who are willing to change for the better, so why can’t we give them a chance?”

Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly changed and he asked: "How do you know this?"

"Well... I have my own way. Just tell me whether what I said is right or not!" Liu Chan did not tell the whole story about his kidnapping.

"Hmm... It seems to make sense! But since they have changed for the better, why don't you let them come and join the army? Wouldn't that be more useful for us?" Zhang Fei was still a little confused.

Liu Chan said with some embarrassment: "Actually, this was my original plan, but unfortunately, there seemed to be only about fifty of them in total. Even if they were incorporated into the army, they wouldn't be of much use! So I thought of a way to let them go.

To recruit bandits, that way..."

Zhang Fei had already understood what Liu Chan meant and interrupted: "But can they do it alone?"

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Actually, my nephew thinks that if they do it, it may have better results than us!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

In Zhang Fei's view, Liu Chan's words simply didn't make sense. They were obviously bandits, how could they compare to them who had the status of official officers and soldiers.

Liu Chan said: "Firstly, they are native people in Jingzhou and are familiar with the situation in Jingzhou; secondly, they know what those bandits really need; thirdly, they came forward to prove that we can really make the people of Jingzhou live a good life!"

Zhang Fei felt that the first two points were reasonable, but the last one made him confused again and asked: "What benefits did you give them?"

Liu Chan said: "No matter what time it is, what the people want has never changed. It is simply to have enough food and clothing, to have children around their knees, and to enjoy family happiness. What we can do is to keep them fed and clothed.

Just warm."

Zhang Fei said: "Adou, you are very good at having this intention! But how difficult it is to achieve these two points. Do you know that for thousands of years, the people under the rule of several kings have truly had enough food and clothing?

Warm ones?!"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Did uncle forget the potatoes from before? After a few months, I think we may have the capital to feed the people!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Although the potatoes are good, there are too few seeds at present. Even if we can really have a harvest of two to three thousand kilograms per mu in a few months, I'm afraid that I won't even have enough for the lieutenants of the army!"

How can we still distribute it to the people?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "That's just now. Maybe in a few days, the situation will be different!"
