Liu Bei got the answer he wanted from Li Xiaobai, and happily got up and went back to the palace.

Watching Liu Bei's figure leaving, the smile on Zhuge Liang's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a frown.

Not only Li Xiaobai, but Zhao Yun also saw the clue.

As an old subordinate, Zhao Yun did not beat around the bush, and asked: "Xiaobai has a way to deal with the matter of felling Wu, why is the prime minister still worried?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said slowly: "What I'm worried about is not this, but grain and grass."

As soon as these words came out, the two instantly understood.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first, which is the fundamental reason for waging war.

Fighting a war is not a mouthful, moving the mouth, and shaking again.

It was piled up with real money, and it was impossible to move without money and food.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Liu Bei only said 'beat him and beat him', went back to sit and wait for the troops, and all the hardships fell on Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

"Fang Jin's overall situation was initially decided, the national treasury was empty, and if taxes were increased, the people would complain, which may damage my prestige."

Zhuge Liang voiced the worry in his heart, waved the feather fan, and continued, "Li Yan and the others proposed to draw four out of ten gifts to make up enough food and grass, this is really too harsh!" Li

Yan's person Li Xiaobai knows very well, he is thinking about personal interests and losses, how to please Liu Bei, and how to care about the life and death of the people.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Li Yan's character is simply impossible to look at directly, otherwise he will not end up in exile Zitong, and end up depressed.

"The prime minister worries about the country and the people, which makes Xiaobai admire it very much."

Li Xiaobai bowed his hand, got up and said, "Xiaobai has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it?" When

Zhuge Liang heard this, he suddenly came to the spirit: "Xiaobai has an idea, why not say it earlier?"

Li Xiaobai scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not a good idea, just do what Li Yan said."

Zhao Yun was completely stunned, he originally looked expectant, but a sip of tea almost spewed out.

You call this an idea? I can also be a military master.

Zhuge Liang was startled at first, but quickly recovered his expression, and his intuition told him that Li Xiaobai had not finished speaking.

He waved his feather fan and teased, "Zilong, you are gaffing again." "

Oh?"

Zhao Yun seemed to realize something, and suddenly raised his head: "Little White Military Master, please you have something to say at once, don't make my old man happy."

Li Xiaobai smiled slightly, and said positively: "This time the situation is special, you can first collect taxes according to Li Yan's words, and the extra 10% will be guaranteed by an official document issued by the imperial court, and within two years, each of them will be returned to the people every year."

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "What you mean is equivalent to borrowing one percent in advance, and then repaying one percent more to the people."

"That's right, borrowing first and then giving away, it can also be called a tax refund."

Li Xiaobai explained, "This can not only solve the problem of grain and grass, but also protect the hearts and minds of the people.

"Wonderful! It's just that in the future..."

Zhuge Liang was mixed, he was still very satisfied with the plan proposed by Li Xiaobai, which was also the best way out of the current way.

His only concern is whether he will be able to deliver on his promises in the future.

Li Xiaobai can propose this plan, and naturally he can guess Zhuge Liang's concern.

"The prime minister is worried that he will not be able to pay 10% of the interest and will lose his trust to the people."

"Xiaobaiye, who knows me!"

Zhuge Liang was sincerely amazed, and then said, "The war can be as short as a few months or as long as several years, and it will cost countless amounts of money and food, and I have to worry.

"Don't worry about the prime minister, Xiaobai has his own way."

"What way?" Zhao Yun listened to the old man for a long time, and suddenly mentioned his spirits.

"Good you little white, there is a way not to say it earlier, play mystery with the two of us here."

After these two days of getting along, Zhuge Liang found that he couldn't see through Li Xiaobai more and more.

This little head seems to be full of whimsy, always bringing him unexpected surprises at the most critical time.

Li Xiaobai smiled: "Two of you, please come with me." Since

he drew bamboo rice and corn seeds, Li Xiaobai planned to find an opportunity to give to Zhuge Liang, and today came in handy.

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun looked at Li Xiaobai's mysterious appearance, and their curiosity was even greater.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Li Xiaobai placed bamboo rice and corn seeds on the table, and without saying a word, the two grabbed a handful of seeds from the rice bag and put them in front of them to watch carefully.

"This thing is very similar to rice seeds, it smells like a faint fragrance of bamboo, it should be a new type of rice seed, what is this golden seed?"

Zhuge Liang muttered to himself and looked up at Zhao Yun, "Has Zilong ever seen it?"

Zhao Yun spread his hands and smiled awkwardly: "Unheard of, unseen."

Li Xiaobai felt the need to popularize science with the two, as a modern person, although he also knew little, especially bamboo rice, but he always knew more than the ancients.

"This object is called bamboo rice, and as Prime Minister Yu said, it is a newly discovered wild rare rice species."

Li Xiaobai can only explain that hybrid bamboo rice is a modern one, and not many people can figure it out, let alone he is a poor dick.

"The seeds of this golden grain are called corn, also known as bud grain, and both are high-yield grains."

"How tall?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"I'm afraid to scare you when I say it." Li Xiaobai quipped.

Zhuge Liang listened to Li Xiaobai's tone and said as if he had never eaten pork.

As everyone knows, when he was not out of Longzhong, he made a living by farming, not to mention that now he is the prime minister, building water conservancy, collecting taxes, and engaging in these livelihood work.

He really wanted to say to Li Xiaobai, it's ploughing the field!

what high yield has not been seen?

"The yield of bamboo rice acres is about 20 to 30 stone, and the yield of corn acres is about 15 stone." (One stone in the Han Dynasty is about equal to sixty catties)

"How much?"

Sure enough, after Zhuge Liang listened, his pupils instantly dilated, his hand shook, and the corn kernels in his palm fell down, and the whole person froze there, motionless.

Zhao Yun was stunned for a long time, only then did he react, and quickly leaned over to pick up the fallen corn kernels.

If this seed is really as Li Xiaobai said, this special grain is gold, and not one can be less!

Li Xiaobai had already prepared in his heart, and he believed that if Liu Bei was also present at this moment, he would definitely be shocked and cry.

Heaven, earth, which angel sister group here sent to save my big man!

At that time, Liu Bei was running around, and he saw with his own eyes how helpless and sad it was that the soldiers were eating each other because they had no food in the army.

In troubled times, this phenomenon is not uncommon.

The "Three Kingdoms Zhi Xun Yu Biography" recorded: "In the summer of 191 AD, Cao Caojun took the clan. Great hunger, cannibalism. "

Three Kingdoms Zhi Dong Zhuo Biography" recorded: After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Wei Guo Xiao and other disasters were in Chang'an. The three auxiliary people were hungry and cold, and they ate each other for two years.

The "Wei Jin Shiyu" recorded: Cao Cao was short of grain, and Cheng Yu robbed his hometown of Dong'a County to provide three days of food, mixed with a lot of human jerky.

......

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!"

Li Xiaobai saw that Zhuge Liang didn't react for a long time, for fear that if he was excited, he would accidentally quack over, and this would be the end of the game.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it towards Zhuge Liang.

"Don't worry, Benxiang is fine."

Zhuge Liang took a long breath, tried his best to calm his surging little heart, and then said positively, "Xiaobai, what Fang Cai said is true?

Li Xiaobai looked at Zhuge Liang's suspicious expression, and immediately looked up, there was no lamp in ancient times, so casually.

"Xiaobai swore to the roof, if there is a false statement, let me hang on it and never get down."

Li Xiaobai patted his chest and swore an oath.

After getting Li Xiaobai's confirmation, Zhuge Liang paced back and forth with excitement.

"Xiaobai, you are my immortal deeds for the Great Han, and your immortal feats will be left in the history books in the future, and you will be famous for eternity!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaobai, who was originally smiling, instantly froze, and a smile was on his face.

Groove! You are famous for eternity, and your whole family is famous for eternity!

Oh, by the way, three generations of your family are indeed famous for eternity.

Labor and management are to earn small goals, to live forever, and in the future they will go back to find Reba to live a moist little life.

This kind of good thing is famous for eternity, he is not suitable for me, or leave it to you!

"Prime Minister Don't praise me, I'll be frightened."

Li Xiaobai was stunned, and realized that the importance of some issues must be made clear, otherwise it would be over.

"Prime Minister, bamboo rice can be planted two to three crops a year, corn two crops a year, the specific sowing method and precautions I will write on the bamboo simple."

"So good!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Any information about the seed, except for His Majesty and the three of us, must be kept absolutely confidential."

"In addition, when sowing seeds, it must be carried out in secret, and heavy troops must be sent to guard the whole process, and outsiders must not be allowed to approach the official field."

Li Xiaobai instructed tirelessly, because these seeds were extremely important and related to the future cause of Shu Han, and he had to be extremely cautious.

"That's nature."

Of course, Zhuge Liang understood these truths, the people take food as the sky, and if there is food, there will be a population and soldiers, the great Han will have a greater advantage, and the revival of the Han Chamber will no longer be a dream.

At present, it must be strictly controlled by the authorities, and then gradually spread according to the territory of the Han Dynasty, until the world is unified, and these seeds spread throughout the country.

At that time, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, the great Han will be prosperous, his ideal will be realized, and this life will be enough!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang was extremely excited in his heart.

"Xiaobai, you are the most precious gift that God has given to my Great Han!"

"You are the most... Precious! "

Zhao Yun looked at Li Xiaobai, gave a thumbs up, and nodded continuously in agreement.

Lying groove, boast is boasting, what are the whole lyrics? I'm not Jacky Cheung.

As the saying goes, "Heaven does not give birth to me Li Xiaobai, and the great Han is as ancient as a long night."

Isn't it so precious?

Li Xiaobai felt good about himself and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Cheng, General Zilong, can you be realistic?" What is the use of boasting on a light mouth? "

Hahaha!

The two looked at each other and smiled, both felt that this child was extremely innocent, and he really deserved to be called Li Xiaobai!
