After Liu Zhang was so rich that Liu Yi ignored it after experiencing it, he no longer paid attention to it. At least for now, Liu Bei is still living in Yizhou. He still has a long way to go to become the real master of Yizhou.

For the soldiers who brought Liu Bei to the 100-day reward in Fu County, this time, who were originally planning to fight for a great battle to make achievements, it was really like heaven, so that when Liu Bei was about to set off for Jiameng Pass, many soldiers had not yet woken up from this intoxication.

Liu Yi was a little worried that the joy over the past hundred days was exchanged for the morale of the army. Now this army has lost the spirit of the beginning of entering Shu. It requires retraining to return to the battlefield. With the current morale, if you really go to the battlefield, it is probably no different from dying.

Liu Yi could see this truth, and Liu Bei, who had fought for the rest of his life, and the generals in the army could naturally see it. Therefore, after arriving at Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei did not rush to attack Zhang Lu, but began to order the generals of each battalion to actively train troops, and at the same time distributed the wealth Liu Zhang gave him to the people in the Jiameng Pass area to win people's hearts.

"Sir, stop!" Liu Yi came outside Liu Bei's tent and was stopped by Huo Jun, the general who was rotating today.

"Discuss some things with the lord." Liu Yi nodded to Huo Jun.

"Please sir, please wait." Huo Jun clasped his fists at Liu Yi, and entered Liu Bei's palm. After a while, he came out again and said to Liu Yi: "Sir, please invite me."

Liu Yi stepped in and saw Liu Bei discussing military information with Pang Tong. When he saw Liu Yi coming in, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Bo Yuan came just right. Now our army has been lingering here for more than a month. Ji Yu sent people to urge the troops several times. I was discussing with Shi Yuan how to shirk it. Do Bo Yuan have a good suggestion?"

Liu Yi was slightly stunned by the sound, and looked at Pang Tong and said, "The soldiers are not familiar with the climate in Shuzhong, so they need to adapt for a while. In addition, our army does not know that the terrain of Hanzhong is not easy to advance rashly. These reasons are not difficult to find, right?"

It seems that winter is already coming, and it is indeed time to use troops, but if you want to refuse, it is not difficult to find excuses for Liu Bei. For such a thing, Liu Bei and Pang Tong still need to ask themselves?

Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said, "But how can Liu Zhang feel unhappy?"

Well……

Liu Yi couldn't think of it for a moment. Logically speaking, he wanted money, food and people, but judging from Liu Zhang's bold appearance at that time, Liu Yi was not sure whether Liu Zhang, who had a great family and a great career, would turn against him. Obviously, Liu Bei wanted to use his anger and let Liu Zhang turn against him first, so that he could naturally master the righteousness to attack Liu Zhang.

"No matter what, I will ask for more money, food and people first. Even if I turn against each other, I will have enough confidence to fight Liu Zhang." Liu Yi really couldn't think of anything that could hurt Liu Zhang's pain points. Generally, cowardly people have super patience. However, at this time, Liu Bei and Pang Tong should have a headache. Liu Yi did not think that he was better than the two of them. He took advantage of this topic and said: "The lord is now going to win people's hearts, and I think giving money and food is the worst."

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi in surprise and said, "Why is Bo Yuan's argument?"

"The reason is very simple. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and Pang Tong and said, "The people in Shu are rich, and giving them money and food is just a icing on the cake. I think that rather than doing this, it is better to pay to build bridges and pave roads for them to facilitate their lives. This will make it easier to win over the hearts of Shu people."

Of course, as a craftsman, Liu Yi naturally accepted this kind of thing unshirkable, to solve Liu Bei's worries and problems, and to do some projects, it would also allow Liu Yi to gain some experience. Everyone was happy. Anyway, Liu Bei was here to spend money.

"Boyuan's method is quite reasonable." Liu Bei probably understood what Liu Yi meant when he heard this, and nodded with a smile: "The money in the army will be settled by Boyuan. It is best to repair Jiameng Pass together."

It is not as terrifying as the walls of Yueyang City, but at least it can make Liu Bei less worried when he goes to Liu Zhang. In terms of his attitude towards money, Liu Bei has enough courage. As long as he feels it is useful to him, he will never be stingy.

"Thank you, lord, do you have any requirements for people's livelihood?" Liu Yi asked.

"No, what's the point of Bo Yuan?" Liu Bei knew that Liu Yi had creativity and design concepts that most craftsmen could not match in this regard. He was also curious about how Liu Yi would do it?

"How dare you discuss high opinions in front of Shi Yuan?" Liu Yi shook his head, took out the Cai Hou paper that had been prepared, spread it on the table, kneeled in front of the table, thought for a while, and began to outline it, saying, "Although there is no county town near Jiameng Pass, there are three villages, and the villages are scattered, and the villages are scattered. In short, the population of this area alone is no longer a county gate. Although it is a drop in the bucket for our army, I can see it from the perspective of the ministers.

, because of the roads, these villages and villages are mostly independent. If there is a little exchange, they can pave the way first. I have calculated that they should connect these villages and villages and villages, and they can only be more than a hundred miles away. For such a project, a cement factory can be built nearby to facilitate the material acquisition and also provide financial resources for the village. If you want to strengthen Jiameng Pass in the future, you can also come to collect nearby. We will contribute to the investment and work hard for them to build. I believe that they will be willing to do it."

"With cement, there is also brick and stone. A brick factory can be set up here. This city can set up a foundry. In the future, it will attack Hanzhong. These factories can also provide convenience for our army. In addition, there are also people's livelihoods. These two villages and seven villages have Fushui tributaries, which can develop fisheries. Other villages are difficult to cultivate due to the limitations of terrain, but they can breed livestock. In this way, weaving, fishing, agriculture and animal husbandry can be established. When the people have gained something, they will be grateful to the lord's kindness and reputation, and can also spread around through them. In the future, these villages and villages can also be called important supply points for our army to send troops to Hanzhong. If Hanzhong can be taken down, it can also provide us with convenience for repairing and widening the plank road."

Just by saying this, a piece of Cai Hou paper that could cover the table was covered with Liu Yi, and there were many numerical symbols. Not to mention Liu Bei, Pang Tong was a little dizzy.

Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile and said, "Is the coins in our treasury that Bo Yuan said enough?"

The things designed by Liu Yi are linked together, just like the village system established by Liu Yi on the shore of Dongting Lake with the fishing village as the center. Is it effective? There is a precedent for fishing villages, so Liu Bei naturally believed it, but the question is, is the amount of money he needs now really enough?

Most of the military supplies that Liu Zhang gave him were military supplies such as food and grass, but he didn't give much money. Liu Bei had not counted it, but it was only one or two million.

"Enough!" Liu Yi smiled and said, "They provide manpower, and we provide material resources and financial resources, but material resources are basically local materials. The biggest expense is still needed to hire craftsmen. But others are suspicious. I hope my lord can lend me a thousand people. I should use my own people to rest assured about these things."

Liu Yi's ability is at least not spread in Shu now.

"This is not difficult." Liu Bei nodded and smiled: "Zhong Miao!"

"The last one is here!" Huo Jun came in outside the tent and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Start up nine hundred men and follow more than a hundred craftsmen in the army. From today on, follow Bo Yuan's orders and do not make any mistakes." Liu Bei said to Huo Jun.

"Here!" Huo Jun bowed and responded, and saw that Liu Bei had no other instructions, he dismissed him from the camp.

"Boyuan, how long will it take for you to repair Jiameng Pass?" Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi and said.

"March." Liu Yi thought for a while. He did not help these places rebuild villages, but built some factories and road construction. The most time-consuming thing was to build roads. With thousands of people helping him. In addition, all his skills are basically at level 6, and the speed will be very fast. The same is true for repairing Jiameng Pass. In three months, Liu Yi was confident that he would do it all well. Of course, the premise was that he could always do it at the speed of a thousand workers. In this way, the money in the army was still not enough.

"Lord, if you can, please ask Liu Zhang for some money." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and said, "Anyway, the money was all from Liu Bei, so now I'm just prepaying some future money in advance, so there's no problem.

"Do your best." Liu Bei did not hesitate this time and nodded generously.

The next thing was much simpler. The generals continued to train soldiers, while Liu Bei argued with Liu Zhang, and while urging people to go there, they all asked Liu Zhang for money and food. At the beginning, Liu Zhang was generous. As long as Liu Bei had something to ask for, Liu Zhang would agree.

As for Liu Yi, with money and people, he began the vigorous Jiameng Pass renovation plan. Liu Bei sent coins continuously, which gave Liu Yi confidence and started to start construction.

First, they discussed with the people in the village. They paid for the money, and the village sent people to build the cement factory and brick factory first and put it into production. Then they began to pave the road. One thousand people were divided into ten teams. One team followed Liu Yi to discuss cooperation with the townships and cities and villages. The remaining nine teams were led by Huo Jun to rush to build the road.

However, in January, Liu Yi built fishing grounds and pastures one after another, and then began to bring people to build temples in these villages. Just as Liu Yi expected, the project of the ten-mile township was completed in just two months. During this period of cooperation, the name of benevolence and righteousness of Liu Bei's army was completely opened. Then Liu Yi asked Liu Bei to send people to a further place to discuss cooperation, and he took Huo Jun to start repairing Jiameng Pass, which was just cement reinforcement, and some strategic facilities, which was simple for Liu Yi. In the March period that he guaranteed with Liu Bei, he successfully completed everything and even helped Liu Bei build a batch of siege equipment.
