When Li Huguo came to Xuzhou, he saw Lu Bu next to a bamboo cradle, looking at the baby inside. Next to him was Tian Shi, with his arms around Tian Shi.
"Madam, look at how much this little guy looks like me!" Lu Bu said with a smile.
Tian's smile was as bright as a flower, and she wiped the child's face: "It's too hot, and the child's face is covered with sweat. You are also serious, and you always compete with the child to drink..."
As he said that, Tian glanced at her husband tenderly, and Lu Bu also smiled very happily, "Now, I... oh no, it should be me. I have always been called an old man. I am obviously not old, but I am called old by myself." Yeah, I was thinking about letting our son learn martial arts in the future, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tian's brows furrowed: "If you want to learn martial arts, you have to fight on the battlefield and live a life of licking blood at every turn. In fact... I want our children to study and become ordinary people. Scholars, it doesn’t matter how much money you have, as long as you live a peaceful life.”
"That's right... I have fought on the battlefield for my husband all my life, and I have seen too many life and death partings. I am good at studying literature, and I am good at studying literature..." Lu Bu said with emotion.
At this time, Li Yuguo knocked on the courtyard door and said, "My father-in-law."
"It's Bo Long here." Lu Bu immediately stood up and said, "Bo Long, you came just in time, look at your brother-in-law!"
Li Yuguo was naturally very ashamed, thinking that since the little guy was just born, he had to call him brother-in-law, but with his seniority, there was nothing he could do about it. Li Yuguo stepped forward and said: "It seems that he is in good spirits!"
"No, this kid has a big appetite. Your mother-in-law can't even feed him enough to drink. Now he has hired three nanniangs to serve him every day." Lu Bu shook his head and said, although he shook his head, There was happiness on his face.
At this time, the child started crying again, and Mrs. Tian hurriedly came out and said, "Oh, I have peed. Hurry up and talk to your son-in-law over there. Don't disturb me while I start changing the pocket cloth!"
"Haha!" Seeing Tian's temper, Lu Bu was not angry. He walked arm-in-arm with Li Bolong with a smile and walked outside. Seeing that Lu Bu looked good, Li Bolong was also very happy. He said, "Master Yue, Why don’t you see Qiling?”
"She and Zhaoxue went for a walk. Now that she has your flesh and blood, she naturally needs to walk a little. Thinking that I, Lu Bu, will be a grandpa soon, this is really confusing!"
"Haha, is it possible that my father-in-law is not ready yet?"
"Fuck you!" Lu Bu scolded with a smile, "It's you, hasn't Jingzhou encountered something big recently? How did you know you came here to see me?"
It turns out that since the Chinese New Year, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Jingnan, Jiangdong and Yizhou have either been hit by floods or floods. If such a disaster happens occasionally, it would be normal, but the south has all suffered disasters.
Especially here in Xuzhou, a once-in-a-century locust plague occurred in the past few months, resulting in no harvest for the people. Fortunately, last year was a bumper harvest. Tian advocated opening warehouses to release grain so that the people in Xuzhou City could spend the first half of the year safely. , Lu Bu also gained a lot of good reputation.
Now, during the transition of power, Li Huguo said: "Yes, this trip is just to find Master Yu Ji. My father-in-law said, you have met Yu Ji before, right?"
"Yes, I also said that he is in Xuzhou. Now I have set up a gym for him. He does not leave home every day, but stays in there to refine elixirs." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Alchemy?" Li Yuguo was a little confused.
"I heard that he is researching a method that can communicate with the dead. This method is a kind of elixir. Of course, I don't know what it is specifically..." Lu Bu said as he took Li Huguo to the market.
Sure enough, there are now many refugees in the market. In the past six months, disasters have continued in various places, and it is always the people who suffer. People die of hunger and illness every day.
The line of people in the distance was like a long dragon, and Li Bolong discovered that at the end of the long dragon, Lu Qiling was handing out rice porridge. Her belly was slightly bulging, and she looked very beautiful.
"Bo Long, this is how we open the warehouse every day to release grain. Although there is still a lot of grain, the number of people coming from all over Xuzhou is increasing every day. I am worried that if there is no good harvest next season, no matter how good the grain is, It's not enough." Lu Bu said.
In fact, the amount of grain released these days has exceeded Lu Bu's expectations. The amount distributed is increasing almost every day. Now, a lot of grain has been deducted from all over his state capital in order to help more people.
Except for a few wet nurses and Lu Bu's wife Tian, everyone else basically just wanted to have enough food and clothing.
And Tian Shi and Lu Xiaoman are Lu Bu's rivals. Even if they don't eat or drink, they still have to keep them fed and drunk.
"Alas, the world is unkind, everything is like a rotten dog, or it is a burden in itself. How can the people be happy?" Li Bolong was also very helpless.
In fact, Jingzhou is worse than here. Floods in Jingzhou are constant. Although the people don't have to worry about drinking water, the continuous heavy rain has flooded the crop fields, making it look like a puddle.
Countless poultry and livestock were drowned, especially in the remote countryside, and a plague actually broke out. It can be said that the war with the north did not happen, but disasters were frequent and the entire south was about to be defeated.
Jiangdong, where Sun Ce is located, is now unable to rectify the navy. They are focused on controlling floods. Similarly, since Li Hugo gave Hanzhong to Liu Bei, Hanzhong was originally the most famous granary city in the world, but due to the locust plague, this year There was almost no harvest.
Uncle Liu Huang was benevolent and even distributed military rations to relieve the victims.
But as a result, the development of the princes in all directions has basically stalled, or even regressed. People are dying every day, and people are starving every day.
The people's life is not good, so many people fall into the trap of bandits. In fact, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and they have enough food and clothing. Who would take desperate risks and become thieves in the mountains or bandits in the water
In fact, just because they could no longer survive, a large number of people gathered together and robbed everywhere. It seemed that in the past few months, the entire south had fallen into a nightmare.
Others don't know, but Li Yuguo knows that it's because of Zhang Jiao and Taiping Yaoshu. He originally came to Yu Ji next month, but now things are getting more and more serious, and everything is imminent.
We must find Yu Ji. To put it nicely, it is to save the people of the world. To put it worst, it is to protect ourselves. Without the people as the foundation, how can we protect ourselves
And if the people don't have enough to eat or wear, who will support the princes here
