The ministers did not know what Liu Bei sold in the gourd, but they knew that the other party could not listen to their words, so they could only bear to listen.

Just because Liu Bei had a very good talent in telling stories, they gradually became fascinated by what they listened to.

"The beginning of the story starts with a farmer."

Liu Bei took a deep breath and smiled and told a story that Lin Chen had told: "This farmer neither worked hard nor worked hard on his daily life. Gradually, he lived a bad life and was hungry all day long."

"One day, Ziyuan saw this farmer, so he asked, "Why are you not working hard or working hard? Are you not afraid of starving to death?"

"Ziyuan was shocked by the farmer's answer, and then he made some plans with me later..."

When he said this, Liu Bei smiled and looked down and said, "You can guess what the farmer said?"

"I think that the farmer is not rational and what he says is vulgar, and this should not be used as the foundation."

"I agree."

"Of course!"

Jia Xu glanced at the verbal who didn't understand Lin Chen at all, and then saluted to Liu Bei and said, "Xu thought that the farmer must have said something terrible, otherwise Ziyuan would not be shocked."

Xun Yu also said: "Lin Pushe has great talent and a firm mind, which is definitely not something that ordinary farmers can shake. I think what the farmers say must be a shocking word."

"I ask you to guess, but you..."

Liu Bei sighed and shook his head, and then said, "Forget it, you can't guess anyway, so I'll just say it directly."

"After Ziyuan asked, the farmer's answer was very simple, he said..."

"I have no food and clothing, but I have fists and hoes. I am so hungry that I can kill them all. Anyway, I have no chance to make a comeback in my life."

The ministers were stunned, as if they had never expected the farmer to say that.

"Ziyuan was as shocked as everyone after hearing this, but Ziyuan felt that people's hearts would never reach this point, and there must be hidden feelings in it, so he asked the farmer why he had such an idea."

"The farmer said that the reason is that this is because there are several families in the city, Li family, Yang family, and Zhang family. They have seized all the fertile land in the city. Even if they want to work hard, they don't even have a piece of land."

"Ziyuan thought about it and asked again, I know all the big families. There are guards at home. Even if he works hard, what can he do?"

"The farmer smiled disdainfully and said to Ziyuan, even though this is the case, the number of hungry people in the city is increasing. How can they stop me when I go crazy?"

"When it comes to this, the farmer laughed and wrote a poem."

"The poem says, when autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after the flowers bloom. The fragrance formation soars into the sky and penetrates Luoyang, and the city is full of headless ghosts."

"Do you understand the meaning of this story?"

When he said this, Liu Bei smiled and continued to ask the ministers: "If you understand, what do you think of this farmer?"

"Just a vulgar man."

"I probably read some books, but I don't understand the truth."

"There is no need to take this person seriously."

"Why do you care about this?"

The ministers sneered.

"At that time, I actually thought so."

However, Liu Bei laughed, as if he had seen a similar person.

"Why do you think I'm laughing?"

He laughed to the end, and when the ministers looked at him with a psychopathic look, he slowly spoke: "It is because I have been in contact for so long that I suddenly realized that the farmer might be his Lin Ziyuan!"

hiss!

The ministers took a deep breath, widened their eyes, and opened their mouths, but in the end they didn't know.

They did this because if those words were just what ordinary people said, the ministers present might not take them seriously.

But if Lin Chen said this, it would be a completely different situation.

"I think Ziyuan's military use is a god."

However, Liu Bei did not seem to see the expressions of the ministers, and continued with a smile: "What do you think?"

In addition, you think, if you stand opposite him, what will happen to me?"

"Maybe I'll say that he is the only Lin Ziyuan in the world..."

As if he had not seen the pale faces of the ministers, Liu Bei continued, "But I think there should be many talents in this world that have not been discovered yet.

Among them, perhaps not only among the farmers, but also some unhelpful children of wealthy families."

"Every time I think of this, I feel cold in my heart."

"It is precisely because of this that I want to hold the imperial examination in order to give them a fairness."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei still had no intention of stopping.

After a moment of pause, he took a sip of water and continued, "In addition, if you think your children are useless, then go to the battlefield with you."

"If you don't say anything else, you will always be able to sort out military funds, right?"

"As long as you make contributions, are you still afraid that you can't pass on your family?"

"And compared to this, if one day I will force the world too much..."

"Don't forget that whether it is the Yellow Turban Army or Dong Zhuo, the first choice they chose is often the aristocratic family."

"There's another thing..."

He simply said it, but Liu Bei didn't want to hide it anymore. He took out a map and handed it to the eunuchs beside him, and said to the officials: "You can also check this map. The above are all the grain production areas marked by Ziyuan."

"Some areas may seem remote, but some areas, as long as they open up a road, the people will no longer have to worry about food and clothing."

"The other side of Yizhou... is it three times a year?"

"Are you really that?"

"There is such a vast area across the sea in Jiaozhou?"

"His Majesty!"

One of the old ministers had already read the map. After he took a little slow down, he said to Liu Bei: "I think this map record should not be preserved regardless of whether it is true or false."

"Why?" Liu Bei didn't understand.

"Like the Pearl Cliff, the mountains and forests are dense and there are many diseases. If you explore it easily, many people will die, and...

The old minister said lightly: "Besides, there are still many barbarians on this island. What if there is a war on it?"

"This matter..."

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Ziyuan hasn't told me yet, but I think he should have a solution."

He believed that Lin Chen would definitely have a way to solve these things, although he didn't know how this kind of trust came about.

Perhaps it was because Lin Chen had never made any mistakes, or perhaps it was because of Lin Chen's actions all the time.

Anyway, no matter what, Liu Bei only trusts Lin Chen.

Complete trust.

"Since you haven't told your Majesty, then your Majesty..."

The old minister laughed, as if he had grasped something.

"Pu She told Xu about this before."
