Chapter 292 Goodbye Deng Ai
Regarding the military camp matter, Liu Yi just put forward an idea and asked him to do it. Perhaps as he said, the soldiers farmed and ate by themselves, and tried not to disturb the people as much as possible, as they could still have some income here.
But this mentality problem of the military is difficult to solve. Since they have to farm in the army and the taxes are higher than those of the farmers, what is the purpose of their conquests in all directions?
Liu Yi might have to make a complete soldier welfare plan, but that is unrealistic. Even if Liu Bei's army is well-armed, since the Battle of Red Cliff, which war has not lost in units of tens of thousands? If you really make a welfare plan, I am afraid that the finance here will be lost soon after the war is over.
The concept of military camp is not a new term, and Liu Bei is not a group of people under his command. It should not be too difficult to find someone who fills the pit. Therefore, after Guan Yu agreed to find Liu Bei to find relevant talents, Liu Yi no longer paid attention to this matter. At present, Nanyang still has a lot to do.
The place is too big, and Liu Yi is preparing to build several farms that combine agriculture and animal husbandry. It does not need to be like the fishing towns in the past, but at least it has a complete drainage system and a simple power system. In Nanyang, it is not difficult to build such a farm.
The funds for the city walls are intermittent. When these farms are built, they are basically looking for people nearby. There are more than a dozen or twenty people, and they are finished in three or five days. They are pieced together, but they have never been interrupted.
As time passes by bit by bit, Nanyang has some changes, but these changes are not too big. It’s just that people in the safe area have begun to come out and settle in the farm. As for the city, Liu Yi doesn’t want them to live back at the moment. If there is another epidemic, even if he can’t bear it, he can only destroy the city in large quantities.
The city was destroyed by one stone, and the entire Nanyang would be dispersed. It is necessary to ensure that the source of the plague has completely disappeared. In addition to building a farm during this period, Liu Yi did the most to send people to search for corpses around for burial or burn them.
To talk about the people's hearts, the support for Liu Bei in Nanyang may even be more than that in Jingzhou and Shuzhong is incredible, but over the years, it has been exploited too seriously under Cao Cao's rule that Liu Bei's policies are slightly better. For the people of Nanyang, it is a great benefactor. Liu Yi has studied Cao Cao's previous policies in Nanyang and only suggested that Liu Bei cut some unnecessary corvee. In fact, the tax burden is not much worse than when Cao's army governed Nanyang, but in this way, the people of Nanyang are grateful.
Of course, the system will gradually move closer to Jingzhou and Yizhou, but it cannot be reduced all at once. In that case, you may get temporary gratitude, but who knows if anyone is so happy that he thinks that Liu Bei will be better for them. If he loses his normal heart, it will be unbeautiful. This benefit must be given a little bit, and it must be given a reasonable and well-founded manner.
"Marquis Ting!" When Guan Ping led a man toward this side, Liu Yi had just prepared a house-guarding Pixiu and placed it on the highest roof of the farm. IQ was taken to see the sound of the bull head.
"Full it?" Liu Yi climbed down from the roof and saw that there was another person behind Guan Ping, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly.
He patted the dust on his body and asked the craftsmen who were temporarily hired to continue working, and he went up to him.
"Why are you free to come to me today? Don't you need to train troops?" He took the towel handed over by Xiao Huan, wiped his face, and looked at Guan Ping in confusion.
"Look at Tinghou, who is here?" Guan Ping turned over and dismounted and pointed behind him.
"Ai'er?" The people behind followed and Liu Yi said in surprise when he saw the other person's face clearly.
"Ai has met sir." Deng Ai turned over and dismounted, giving Liu Yi a big gift.
"Get up quickly." Liu Yi handed the towel to Xiaohuan and reached out to help Deng Ai up.
Deng Ai didn't bother Liu Yi, and raised his head and smiled a little honestly: "Sir, Ai and his mother miss you very much."
"Is he okay with your mother?" Liu Yi nodded and mentioned Deng's, still feeling a little nostalgic.
"Everything is fine, but I have followed Ai to Cheng. After the capital, my mother rarely laughed." Deng Ai said with some regret.
"Have you started a family?" Liu Yi did not continue to talk about this topic, but began to ask about Deng Ai. At Deng Ai's age, he was actually able to get married long ago.
"My teacher has already agreed to a marriage for Ai, and I will get married after her mentor returns to Chengdu." Deng Ai nodded shyly. The matchmaker's words were mainstream, but looking at Deng Ai's expression, he should be very satisfied with this marriage.
"Why wait for me?" Liu Yi said in confusion. Although he should definitely attend this wedding if he had time, he would definitely be there, but there is no need to wait for him specifically, right?
"Sir, treat me like a son, and I treat me like a father." Deng Ai said seriously.
The most important years of his life were basically spent by Liu Yi. Teaching him the principles and knowledge, and even being a disciple of Zhuge Liang was also a match made by Liu Yi. Deng Ai was grateful to Zhuge Liang, but he was even more grateful to Liu Yi. Without Liu Yi, there would be no Deng Ai today.
Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Deng Ai who was already taller than himself, and suddenly felt a little sigh. The child who used to like fighting and complained about his punishment has grown up and has a higher future than in history. He patted Deng Ai's shoulder and Liu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter is here, I will take my family to Chengdu. I will help you build your wedding house myself!"
"Thank you, sir." Deng Ai smiled happily, just like before in front of Liu Yi.
"I haven't told you what happened to you here this time?" Liu Yi pulled Deng Ai and asked with a smile, "You won't be the one who will do this farming matter, right?"
"Sir, it's true that things are as expected." Deng Ai smiled and nodded, "But that's true. Ai has learned a lot of skills with his mentor over the years and has been very knowledgeable about the farming process. When he comes, he wants to handle the Nanyang military camp."
"Since Kong Ming asked you to come, it means he also thinks you can handle this matter." Liu Yi nodded and smiled when he heard this: "I have built this farm for you, and the water conservancy matters around him are almost done. It should be useful next year. How to use it depends on you."
The farm has the attributes to improve farming efficiency, and the surrounding canals have the attributes to improve soil quality and increase yield. This is really practical and the effect should not be too poor.
"Ai came here this time, just to formulate a set of military camp strategies." Deng Ai smiled and shook his head, "The specific implementation still depends on the lord."
He was going to return to Shuzhong. Now he has become an official, and Liu Bei attaches great importance to him. He is now a little famous in Shuzhong. When Liu Bei became king last time, he had something to do in Shuzhong and could not get rid of it. Therefore, he had never come to see Liu Yi.
"Okay." Liu Yi nodded and said, "The Nanyang incident has come to an end. After the Great Wall is built, I will prepare to go back to the fishing town. After you have the matter, come to the fishing town to find me. How about you and I go back to Shuzhong together?"
"That's the point." Deng Ai smiled when he heard this.
"Have you ever seen the Lord?" Liu Yi asked.
"I haven't visited yet." Deng Ai shook his head. As soon as he came, he came to see Liu Yi directly after finding Guan Ping. Logically speaking, he should have gone to see Guan Yu first, but Guan Yu was patrolling the city wall recently and could not come back for a while, so he came here to meet Liu Yi first.
"Go and meet as soon as possible. Be with Junhou during this period. Remember, don't be too radical in your tone. Since you are not in charge of the military camp, you will eventually fall on Junhou." Liu Yi smiled.
"Before Ai traveling, his mentor also made a similar explanation." Deng Ai was a little funny. Guan Yu was obeying the temper of a donkey. No one under Liu Bei's command knew that, but in the end, both Zhuge Liang and Liu Yi still had to instruct the explanation.
"What's your expression?" Liu Yi slapped him and said, "My and I are all for your own good!"
"Ai knows!" Deng Ai lowered his head and admitted his mistake with a bitter face. He didn't say it well, but he felt that there was no need to give this twice, making him unable to take care of himself.
"Go back with Tanzhi first. There are still more than ten farms to be built. After the construction is completed, I will say goodbye to Junhou. I will see you later." Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "More than 30 farms have been built. After fifty of them are built, the fortifications on the Great Wall will be almost completed. Sun Quan has sent a lot of money and deposits recently. Liu Yi has already acquired a fourth-level blacksmith as his disciple, and is responsible for building weapons for Jiangdong.
The money sent by Jiangdong just made up for the current financial shortage. Anyway, there was money to build this Great Wall, and the rest had nothing to do with Liu Yi. Anyway, the Great Wall and fortifications were built first, so he was ready to rest for a while.
Chapter completed!
