Sun Shangxiang looked in the direction of Liu Bei's finger. Not far away, a mile or two away from the resettlement site, there were some densely packed buildings, which should be unfinished houses. Lantian actually built new houses for the people affected by the disaster here.
"Ziyu, let's go take a look together." Liu Bei handed the horse's rein to his entourage.
Lan Tian nodded, followed the crowd with Gao Shun, and walked through the resettlement site for the victims.
At noon, the porridge shed provided extra meals to those participating in the construction. Women and children who were not working were also provided with food. The common people ate first before the soldiers trapped in the camp. At this time, most of them were already resting on the spot.
When they saw Lan Tian and Gao Shun walking by, all the people resting nearby stood up.
Upon seeing this, Lan Tian winked at Gao Shun, and Gao Shun immediately asked the soldiers guarding him to announce along the way that this was the new General Mu Liu of Jingzhou.
"General Liu is here..."
"Is it General Liu who built a house for us?"
"General Liu..."
"I want to join the army when I grow up..."
...
It is not that Liu Bei has never experienced the scene of being loved by others, but such hot and sincere eyes and such an expectant smile made Liu Bei's heart warm.
The enthusiasm of the people could not be stopped. It took Liu Bei half an hour to walk up and down the mile leading to the new residential area before finally walking out from the crowd. Too many people wanted to see his true face in Lushan. This man
The clan members of the Han Dynasty who saved the people from danger.
"My husband's reputation is so high." Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but sigh.
We just passed through the resettlement site for the victims. Although there were guards from the trapped camp and Zhao Yun accompanying us for protection, Sun Shangxiang remained vigilant.
Although Sun Shangxiang's father and brother were extraordinary in martial arts, they would not walk among the people in Jiangdong. It would be very dangerous if there were assassins in the middle. Now Sun Quan always hunts by car...
After listening to Sun Shangxiang's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Lan Tian.
The new residential area is close to mountains and rivers, and the terrain is open. The houses are all facing north and south. They are all gathered together and look very spectacular. Some houses have been built, but the doors and windows have not yet been installed.
At this time, the soldiers trapped in the camp were still having extra meals, and the craftsmen and common people who had finished eating first came over early to prepare for the afternoon's work.
"Husband, these houses seem to be being built at the same time. Why not build them one by one? In this way, the people in the resettlement sites can move in one after another." Sun Shangxiang asked doubtfully.
"Can Ziyu clarify the doubts?" Sun Shangxiang's doubts were also Liu Bei's doubts.
"After all, there are too many houses, and the soldiers trapped in the camp basically don't know how to build houses, so we adopted the method of the Quanling Army Workshop, using assembly line operations, each performing his own duties and fulfilling his responsibilities. Each person is responsible for a relatively single task.
Even if you don’t understand it at all, you can still become proficient. Some people are responsible for felling wood, some are responsible for making boards, and some are responsible for erection..." Lantian explained.
"Ziyu's house building seems to imply the art of war..." Guan Yu said to himself after hearing this.
Gao Shun replied: "This is just like a marching battle. Each battalion and each unit performs its duties, and then fights together..."
"General Gao is really training his troops all the time. He even misses the opportunity for soldiers to build houses. If the trapped camp had not banned it, the assembly line construction of houses in Ziyu may not be as fast as it is now." Guan Yu sighed while stroking his beard.
There are not many people that Guan Yu can admire in the military, but Gao Shun in front of him is one of them.
Everyone walked around the new settlement. The soldiers, who had finished their meals and rest, lined up neatly and returned to continue their work.
Liu Bei pointed to Lantian and pointed to the river next to him and said, "Let's go there for a walk alone."
Lan Tian nodded and followed, while the rest of the entourage waited in place with interest.
Liu Bei looked at the unbuilt new house and asked: "Ziyu, how long will it take for the new house in Yicun?"
Lan Tian: "It will probably take another five or six days."
"It's amazing that thousands of houses can be built so quickly..." Liu Bei sighed.
"There is strength in numbers." Lan Tian replied with a smile.
In the age of farming without machinery, sufficient labor is the only way to go.
Liu Bei shook his head, "That's not necessarily true. Not every army can put down their swords and help people build houses..."
Lan Tian smiled slightly but did not respond. The reason why the trapped camp was so obedient was that in addition to having all the supplies and training at Gao Shunhui, it also had close ties with the Martial Arts Hall.
Those officers trained by the martial arts hall brought Lan Tian's ideas to ordinary soldiers. The relationship between the people and the army is not a simple support. If we can truly realize the fish-and-water relationship between the army and the people, the people will repay with their own strength.
Marshal Chen once said: The victory in the Huaihai Battle was pushed out by the people on small carts.
Although the power of ordinary people is as weak as water droplets, when countless water droplets gather together, they may become a vast ocean.
"Although General Gao is hard to talk to, he is still my brother-in-law's soldier who fell into the camp." Lan Tian emphasized.
Liu Bei nodded, "The camp is trapped in Ziyu's hands, why should you worry? Now that Jingzhou has been settled, I want to transfer Ziyu to Jiangling so that we can see each other day and night. You and your sister have endured hardships with me these years, so you should also enjoy them."
enjoy..."
"It is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. Although the conditions in Jingnan are not as good as those in Jiangling, growing grain in the four counties and running schools and workshops in Lingling are also of great use to the lord. I still want to return to Lingling to replace the lord.
Farming, but my sister..." Before Lan Tian could finish his words, his eyes were fixed on Sun Shangxiang.
Mrs. Sun's personality and background are much better than those of the late Mrs. Mi. Lantian is worried about whether Gan Qian can adapt to it.
Liu Bei understood it at first glance, and immediately said: "Ziyu has come to Jiangling to take charge, and the martial arts of my younger siblings are like that of Marquis Wen. Your sister and Adou will have more confidence..."
"My lord has newly conquered Jingzhou. There is no guarantee that Cao Cao will not bear a grudge and go south. Zhou Gongjin may not be able to resist it in the small town of Xinye. In addition, the military advisor Longzhong is going to capture Yizhou sooner or later. Jiangling may not be very stable..."
"Ziyu is more cautious than Kong Ming, but I can rest assured that Madam and Adou are with you. When everything in Jingzhou is arranged, I will go to Quanling to pick them up in person."
Lan Tian nodded, "Well, this time I will bring Gan Xingba to Jiangling. This man's brave brother-in-law has already seen him. Jingzhou should use him as a strong water warrior to control the Yangtze River waterway."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Of course I know the ability to promote hegemony, but there are many generals available in Jiangling now. After Ziyu returns to Lingling, he will also participate in the affairs of Jiaozhou. It is not enough for you to have only Gao Boping by your side. After a few days, we will discuss your merits and reward you."
Finally, I’ll go back to Lingling with you and listen.”
Although he promised Sun Quan not to interfere in name, Lan Tian instigated Lai Gong to interfere, which was also a clever plan.
"This..." Liu Bei's attitude was sincere, which made Lan Tian not know how to answer.
Lan Tian was not worried about Liu Bei being suspicious of him, but Gan Ning was following him all the time and worried that he would not be able to show his talents. Although this man had a bad temper, he was still very easy to use and was a sharp knife that could compete in the world.
