Liu Bei was not in a hurry and responded without any comment. He waved his whip and signaled Li Su to Zhuge Liang to enter the city. Then he turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang: "My dear nephew is good at studying. Every time he asks Boya for help, he will be inspired. Let me tell you about it."

Li Su and Zhuge Liang were not really going hand in hand. Zhuge Liang was behind the length of a whole horse, while Li Su was only at a distance from Liu Bei's shoulder and neck.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly agreed and said that he would discuss his knowledge with His Majesty after returning to the city. Liu Bei turned around and patted Li Su on the shoulder with the tip of the whip:

"It is also a surprise that Zilong can help Yide defeat Cao. After all, it is because of his good intentions to help Zilong support Zizhong in advance. If he defeats Cao, his good intentions will be worth 30%. I think this time it is worth adding two more counties to the fief of Kuaiji County."

The position of Li Su riding the horse was obviously behind Liu Bei, and Liu Bei could still pat his shoulders. I have to admit that Liu Bei's shoulder joint flexibility is really strong and his arms are really long. Liu Bei is not inconsistent at all when he does something that others cannot do.

Li Su smiled indifferently: "I dare not, it's because Zilong is cautious and tolerant, and Shiyuan is good at adapting to changes, so he has achieved this. The original deployment suggested by me was just to ask Zilong to support Liaodong.

Later, by accident, Cao Cao was not as strong as possible. After going to war with the Yuan family, he had no time to divide his troops to attack Liaodong for three or four months, so that Zilong had been idle for so long.

If Zilong is a little restless, it is impossible to have an unexpected opportunity later. Apart from thousands of miles apart, how can I mention everything? I can only say that I am prepared for any trouble and gain something from the east."

Li Su was telling the truth. His suggestions for Zhao Yun's deployment were just similar to the deployment of the staff before the war. The actual situation in the future was so far from the initial combat plan.

First, Zhao Yun was calm and waited for the opportunity, second, Pang Tong's temporary command and staff suggestions on the front line were powerful, and third, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang passed the ball, and cooperated well.

Liu Bei knew it well. He just shared his joy with Li Su. Seeing that the other party was humble, he would not bother him much. At that time, Liu Bei would have the credit for his merits and deeds.

The group quickly returned to the city. This time, Liu Bei came to Luoyang again, so he didn't need to go to the Lingdi Garden Site in the south of the city to stay temporarily. Luoyang's palace had already been reopened. Liu Bei went back to the palace directly.

Although the area was a part smaller than that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's harem was not that huge, and it was definitely enough to live in it.

In other words, as long as you don’t encounter a tyrant monarch who is extravagant and extremely desire, the palaces of any dynasty will be enough to live in some cases.

The final restoration and decoration of the palace were completed this year. Li Su also added some operations that combine Chinese and Western economy, so that the craftsmen who will serve as supervisors and Roman craftsmen can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

After all, it is also to hurry up. Liu Bei also understands that why not have new and advanced technologies? It doesn’t mean saving money and being shabby.

Besides, when any technology first appeared, no one would feel that it was priced because of novelty. It was like in the early 1980s, when the country had just opened for a few years, the residential communities built at that time were even more fashionable than mosaics.

Although Li Su did not paste mosaics in the palace, he also tried his best to save the use of wood and stone. Some supporting facilities such as ditches were provided. Roman craftsmen taught the construction of "Roman cement" to be used for supervision, and Li Su made the decision.

Anyway, the sewers are not for people to see, so just hide them below to satisfy their functionality. Why waste the finely renovated bluestone slabs?

And after communicating with Roman craftsmen, Li Su also had a broad vision and thought of some problems. For example, the Roman craftsman Titus, who had told Li Su many times:

The healthy living habits of the Roman high-ranking nobles in their early years were getting worse and worse now. Some Roman scholars probably had some problems in diversion, bathing or other building materials. Later, they found that some metal-containing pipes could not be used, and some stones were not known for the harm.

When Titus first said this, there might not be scientific basis, but there is no shortage of "shocking departments" in any era. In fact, the ancients also had various shocking speculations.

After these "shocking" remarks reminded Li Su, Li Su also realized that metal pipes cannot be used to diversion water, and heavy metals must be eliminated. After all, many copper materials in this era will add stencil, lead and tin when smelting, but lead is definitely not good.

As for the health effects of stones, the benefits and disadvantages of marble granite are still unknown, but in the repair process, we need to save money rather than be extravagant, and those fancy stones do not use them in new amounts.

Li Su also studied and worked in the capital for many years in his previous life. He also visited the Forbidden City many times. He had seen the walls of the Forbidden City provide tension with weaving grass, and then applied mud to the outside of the weaving weaving, and finally painted it into a red wall. The addition of grass fibers can prevent the soil from falling off easily. It is said that it was also the ancient method of repairing the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In this case, when he redecorated the Beigong in Luoyang, the principle was to achieve the effect with soil and grass. Try to use less wood, stone and metal as much as possible, as long as the surface is glossy.

In history, many emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived a short life, which was related to alcoholism and lust, and bad living habits when they were young, but some unofficial history also said that it may be related to the unenvironmental and unhealthy building materials of the Luoyang Palace.

The emperor died too often, which obviously played an accomplice to the power of relatives and eunuchs who were close to the emperor.

In order to reduce internal political friction, the palace coups and wars caused the world. It is better to do this kind of thing, but it saves money at the same time, which is not a bad thing.

In a nutshell, Liu Bei was very satisfied with the palace after Luoyang renovated and painted. He was a man with beautiful clothes. After all, he was just to be beautiful, but he was not really deliberate and wasteful.

So as long as the palace looks beautiful, Liu Bei doesn't care whether it is actually made of cheap materials. He is not a playboy who has not lived a hard life and cannot understand the suffering of the people.

This feeling is like some people buy luxury goods to show off their class and contempt the poor, which is expensive. Some people buy luxury goods to be fashionable and beautiful, and it doesn’t matter whether they are parallel products or not.

If a person like Liu Bei is in modern times, he just needs to buy beautiful clothes, even if it is a fake brand, the quality of real brand is even worse.

...

After spending a long time inspecting the reinstalled palace, Liu Bei was very satisfied and finally had dinner in the main hall Deyang Hall. Liu Bei just arrived, so of course everything was prepared in advance by Li Su. Liu Bei asked Li Su and Zhuge Liang to have it together, and continued to discuss the world's plan.

For places like Deyang Hall, it is designed to go to court, and there are tens of thousands of people around it. However, because it was the Beigong during the reign of Emperor Ling, he never actually organized court meetings. Court meetings were all in places like Wende Hall in Nangong and Jiade Hall.

Now that we are having dinner in the main hall, there are only three people eating together, and at most dozens of palace maids and regular servants who stand to serve, they are still very empty.

When each person lit a circle of twenty-four giant butter candles next to him, he still felt that it was quite dim because the space was too much and the light could not be reflected. It can only be said that Liu Bei had just arrived and was curious in his heart. He couldn't help but taste it, so he would not make such arrangements in the future.

Liu Bei continued to talk about the topic before entering the city: "Boya, why don't you recommend that you attack Yecheng while you have time? Xiaozhi and Zichu and others' opinions are positive and negative. I haven't told you yet?"

Li Su put down his chopsticks: "Not long after Zichu advised His Majesty, he actually wrote a private message to me to discuss the pros and cons, and told me about his reasons. As for why Xiaozhi supports it, I really don't know the details."

Liu Bei concisely and briefly recounted the considerations of Fazheng.

After listening to it, Li Su became more and more determined to his own point of view. From a political perspective, Fazheng's views are really not very good. From the perspective of economic and reform, Liu Ba's opinions are very correct.

There is no benefit in quick battles in politics and economy, but there are only some benefits in military affairs. Two to one, of course, political and economic losses should be the priority.

Li Su sorted out his thoughts and explained sincerely: "Your Majesty, you don't need to talk about the accounts of people's livelihood and reform. Your Majesty has listened to Zichu's advice. Needless to say, Xiaozhi is right.

Military gains and people's livelihood losses, one advantage and one disadvantage are aligned. Therefore, I believe that the final key to affecting this decision is whether it is beneficial to attack Yecheng quickly.

This problem is obvious: our army attacked Youzhou before, and it was a traitor Yuan. There was no problem. When Cao Cao came, he was also saving Yuan Xi, and was defeated by our army. Therefore, our army always occupied the title of fighting against the traitor and pacified the puppet dynasty.

Now that Yecheng has not been destroyed, Yuan Shang is still resisting, and Yuan is the first traitor in Guandong. Liu He was established by Yuan Shao, and the pseudo-dynasty was advocated by Yuan Shao. Should our army attack Yecheng help Yuan Shang repel Cao Cao first, or should Cao Cao directly attack Yecheng?

If Cao Cao is regarded as nothing, adhere to the righteous tradition of our army, and do not cooperate with the number one traitor, then Cao Cao will take the opportunity to be an enemy of our army, and Yuan Shang will be afraid of death. Maybe he will take the initiative to open the city and surrender to Cao, and then Yuan and Cao will fight together to fight me.

Therefore, I think it is much more important to show the world with integrity and show the truth and truth, than to die tens of thousands of people less in the war. Now that our dynasty is bound to win the world, why not be more cautious and ensure that there is no blame in the future?

We don’t need to be vain with the enemy, and we first lure them to surrender and cooperate, but finally find excuses to kill the surrender, which ruins the righteousness of history. Since Your Majesty is determined to destroy the Yuan family and the Cao family, there is no need to negotiate with them to lure surrender.

If the enemy wants to surrender in the future and His Majesty also promises him to be granted a marquis and surrender, then they will have to die. Our Han Dynasty is upright and do what he says. You should not kill King Jian of Qi like Qin Shihuang.

The gains and losses of Qin when Your Majesty studied last year, and His Majesty's later painstaking efforts to rehabilitate Han Xin's death during Emperor Gaozu and Dou Xian's death during Emperor Taizu, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty has paid attention to these things? Why are there any recurrences?"

Li Su’s core idea is: for those you can not kill, you can cooperate diplomatically, and for those you must kill, you cannot show cooperation from scratch. If you are weak and have to do so, there is nothing you can do. Now we are very strong.

Liu Bei was stunned: "I didn't expect so much about this. It seems that my learning is still about learning, not applying what I have learned, and I am always cautious and not profound enough.

However, when Xiaozhi advised me, he also said some excuses that really made me confused. For example, Xiaozhi said frankly and upholding trustworthiness, things can be slightly changed, depending on whether it is for the sake of the people to suffer less.

In addition, after Xiaozhi learned his brother's "Records of the Grand Historian", he also had other experiences. He once advised me that although Qin Shihuang was untrustworthy, he was just using violence and fraud. During the Warring States Period, all the countries had endless tricks. Do they also keep their trust and righteousness against enemies who made the fraud ahead?

I am not regretting it. Today's matters are just a matter of facts. What I listen to is the only thing I can do is not thorough enough. Please tell me carefully."

Liu Bei's attitude was very sincere, and he directly admitted that he did not learn thoroughly enough. When he reached the "practice what he has learned", he discovered more practical problems and suffered more temptations.

In fact, it is not only Liu Bei who has such doubts.

Even if people in the 21st century read Li Su's analysis of Qin Shihuang's mistakes in "destroying history and destroying the law", many people would be dissatisfied with it. Their views were mostly similar to Fazheng.

Li Su thinks that arguing is a good thing, and diligence means practicing things. After learning, you must use it and guide political practice. Only after using it can you know where you have not learned it thoroughly.
