Chapter 817

Zhuge Liang nodded. Sun Quan wanted to do practical things, but he supported it. It has nothing to do with his position, because it is for the benefit of the world.

Moreover, since Sun Quan gave this matter to him, Zhuge Liang, it proved that Sun Quan also planned to reuse him. Well, it may be a bit far away to say that reuse may be, but at least it should be activated. What was Zhuge Liang's purpose in joining Jiangdong? He had no reason to refuse.

In just a few breaths, Zhuge Liang finalized the outline of this farm-based five-year plan for Sun Quan. Sun Quan was only responsible for making ideas, while Zhuge Liang helped turn Sun Quan's ideas into reality. Zhuge Liang had such execution ability, as long as Sun Quan was willing to let him do it!

"But I have something to do with King Wu." Everything was settled, and Zhuge Liang suddenly asked.

"Tell me straight." Sun Quan said lightly.

"I just thought the imperial examination was a whim of the King of Wu at the beginning. Now it seems that the King of Wu is indeed determined to develop agriculture vigorously." Zhuge Liang said, "But whether it is Xuzhou or Bashu, the world's granaries are all in the hands of the King of Wu. At this time, developing agriculture is only the icing on the cake, right?"

That’s right, Jiangdong is not short of food. Compared with the Central Plains, Jiangdong lacks people. But after years of war, Jiangdong’s population disadvantage is no longer that great.

"Developing agriculture is not easy. Although the King of Wu has made a five-year plan, it may have achieved average results. In contrast, learning is easy." Zhuge Liang asked, "Is the King of Wu not worried that the achievements he had worked hard to explore were easily learned by Cao Cao, and then, he solved the worry of Cao's lack of food in the camp?"

"The achievements are in the present and the benefits are in the future. Since they are beneficial to the world, why bother with temporary gains and losses?" Sun Quan replied.

Zhuge Liang was stunned. This King of Wu actually had such integrity?! Has the world been reading it wrong?

However, before Zhuge Liang could change his mind about Sun Quan, he saw Sun Quan laughing and ruining his achievements.

"Haha, this is not like what I said. However, my development of agriculture is indeed beneficial to the future, and the biggest difference between you and me is that I am not worried that Cao Cao will learn from my achievements secretly." Sun Quan said with a smile.

"What's the solution?"

Zhuge Liang was really puzzled. Cao Cao was a eunuch who had been struggling in the world since childhood, and was not a person who could read books. How could he not want the ready-made benefits?

Sun Quan's eyes flashed with a flash of light and he said with a smile,

"Because five years later, I'm afraid there will be no Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang was shocked all over and felt his scalp numb. Zhuge Liang discovered that he had never understood Sun Quan at all!

At the beginning, Sun Quan wanted to develop agriculture. Zhuge Liang thought that Sun Quan wanted to follow the Qin path and took advantage of the days when Cao Cao and Yuan’s family fought to strengthen themselves. But now it seems that Sun Quan did not take Cao Cao seriously at all. Developing agriculture is not to deal with Cao Cao. Sun Quan is already planning and planning for the peaceful and prosperous era after the unification of the world!!!

"Then... why do you develop agriculture?" Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time and returned to the initial question.

Suppose Sun Quan took it seriously and quickly unified the world, and after peace in the world, everything was in trouble, and it was already a situation where there were few people and many fields. As long as there were no natural disasters, the people would still be worried about not having enough food? What was the purpose of Sun Quan's development of agriculture?

"Why build the Great Wall?" Sun Quan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Prevent the northern Huns from disturbing the people." Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and replied.

"How powerful is the Han Dynasty? Why did the Huns dare to enter the country to disturb the people? Aren't they afraid of death?" Sun Quan asked again.

"Because of the severe cold in the north, it is difficult to have food in winter..." Zhuge Liang reacted instantly, "The King of Wu wants to!"

"Sometimes, it is useless to be strong by yourself. If you want to do it once and for all, either kill all the Huns or find another way." As he said that, Sun Quan patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder heavily, "I am a man who is in a whim and I am afraid I can't hold on for a few years. I hope you can accomplish this great cause that is beneficial to the future."

Of course, Sun Quan was not a good man, and food would not be given to the Huns for nothing, so he would definitely exchange things for it. When there was excessive productivity in the original state, Sun Quan planned to train the imperial merchants.

Zhuge Liang's face turned up and stared at Sun Quan and said,

"Jiangdong is full of talents, why choose me?"

Sun Quan smiled,

"If you choose other people, they may be more willing to kill all the Huns."

Zhuge Liang stared at Sun Quan in a daze. No matter what, he had to admit from the bottom of his heart that King Wu was a natural talent.

On the other hand, on the way to return to the Sun family, there were two people wearing strange masks in the corner, the shortest man said,

"Diet to the palace... have we been discovered?"

"This is not surprising." said the tall man with a tall figure, "My second brother has always been like this, and no one can guess him."

"Since that's the case, lord, why should we wait for a test here?" asked the short man.

The tall man glanced at the short man,

"It's you who want to test it, not me."

The short man grinned and replied,

"If I don't test it clearly, how can I give advice to my lord, and how can I dare give advice to my lord?"

"So, the guys in front of us who threw stones and asked for directions didn't give you the answer?" said the tall man.

The short man shook his head,

"No one can give this answer."

Tall man: "Okay, follow me back to Sun's mansion."

???

Palace,

Sun Quan only did three things: posthumously named Zhou Yu; formally appointed Lu Su, replacing Zhou Yu as the new commander-in-chief; fully authorized Zhuge Liang to act on behalf of him and promulgated a five-year plan.

Looking at Emperor Xian's increasingly fearful eyes, Sun Quan originally wanted to have a meal, but in the end he gave up and left the palace after the work was done.

"In fact, there are only two types of people in this world, those who believe in you and those who don't." On the way home, Sun Quan sighed. Zhuge Liang stayed in the palace to draft the five-year plan. Of course, he might also say something secretly to Emperor Xian. Only Pan Zhang was left to stay next to Sun Quan as a groom.

"The emperor doesn't believe me, he thinks Zhou Yu must have died at my hands, and he is worried that he will be the next one."

Of course, fear is also a good thing. Generally, fear is to take action first. Absolutely fear is not afraid to take action. Now Emperor Xian belongs to the latter.

"I believe in my lord completely!" Pan Zhang turned around and said.

"Oh, is that?" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, "Will you be disappointed if the Grand Governor falls to you?"

Pan Zhang shook his head,

"I can't say that disappointment, I know I'm not that piece of material. But at first, I thought it would be Lu Meng. Even if Lu Meng was still young, it shouldn't be Lu Su, right?" Pan Zhang said.

It’s not that Lu Su is not as good as Lu Meng, but because Lu Su and Zhou Yu are wearing the same pair of pants. Isn’t Zhou Yu’s disobedient lesson deep enough? Sun Quan doesn’t take the opportunity to promote his confidants, do he still want to train the second Zhou Yu to come out?

"Losing a general in front of the formation is the top priority to stabilize the morale of the army. In terms of steady progress, Lu Su is a talent. Zhou Yu has a high reputation in the army, and no one can be sent to the crowd at this time," said Sun Quan.

"Why didn't the lord go in person?" Pan Zhang was puzzled. The others could not convince everyone, but Sun Quan could do it.

"Some things are more suitable for Lu Su than me." Sun Quan said, "As for me, there is another place to go."

Soon, the two returned to Sun's house.

But what was waiting for Sun Quan was a Hongmen Banquet.
