Chapter 459: Harvest in the North

Liu Bei stood up and sighed softly.

"Ah... Brother Yu is not such a traitor? Brother Yu has no other intentions in this matter. He is only a reason and cannot be told by outsiders. You and my brother are in the same heart, so can you not even believe me?"

Jiang Huan said in a daze: "Brother, what are your considerations?"

Liu Bei looked at him and said, "Do you and my brother still remember the day when we met?"

Jiang Huan didn't understand why he asked this, but this sentence immediately pulled him back several years ago.

"I naturally remember. I was rescued by Mr. Xu, who was under the command of the general, and then went to Hejian to seek refuge with my relatives. Who would have thought that my relatives had already become hungry in the wilderness and were indescribable. After that, I wandered north and came to Fanyang County, and became a martial artist for a large family."

"Later, he followed his head to Zhuo County to collect rent. It was because the head of the family was too cruel to the tenants and the rent was too high, which made the tenants unable to bear it. I was so angry that he said a few words, and he ordered more than ten subordinates to chase me. I fought and fled, and I met my eldest brother and third brother in the market in Zhuo County. It was all up to you and I could escape."

"My third brother is generous and wants to make friends with heroes, so he held a banquet at home, and the three of them drank, and they were so happy. At that time, a notice was posted in the city, asking for recruitment of heroes from all over the country and conquer the Yellow Turbans. I was not interested in joining the army, but my third brother was quite interested and said that the eldest brother came forward in time to talk about the general trend of the world. After some words, my third brother and I admired him, so we took the head to join the Taoyuan in the third brother's home, and the third brother dispersed all the family wealth. My three brothers formed a volunteer army on their own and made many contributions since then."

Liu Bei also sighed a little, "Yes, I don't expect that in a few days, you and my brothers won the first battle. Zhang Shiping and Su Wenzhong took the initiative to come to the door and said that they wanted to give us a generous gift to us as a funding. Needless to say, the money and grain were the most important iron among them, which made the weapons of the three of us."

Jiang Huan looked at him: "Since my elder brother knows the kindness of the general to you and me, why do you have a second thought now?"

There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

"What did the second brother say? Isn't Brother Yu such a person?"

After he said this, Jiang Huan hesitated.

"What is the matter with the elder brother? If he has some plans, why not tell the general clearly? If he becomes suspicious, wouldn't the elder brother be in danger?"

But Liu Bei suddenly laughed.

"I will tell the general about this matter sooner or later, but now is not the time. Everything I do is for my Han Dynasty and the people of the world, not for the selfishness of one person. The second brother will understand it in the future. You and my brother, swear to live and die together. If the second brother is willing to believe in the eldest brother, don't ask again, what?"

Jiang Huan and Liu Bei looked at each other for a long time, and then he sighed.

"Oh, okay. I believe in my elder brother. Even if the general blames him in the future, I should bear it with my elder brother!"

Liu Bei said with relief: "Okay! I am worthy of being my second brother!"

Liu He did have some suspicion about Liu Bei, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, as long as Liu Bei was still in Shangdang, he could not escape his palm.

Therefore, Liu He only secretly ordered the Feiying Guard to closely monitor the situation in Shangdang County, and at the same time, in the name of appeasement and reward, the remaining members of the Zhao clan were moved to Luoyang to live.

In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn. After half a year of rest, the people's livelihood in the Sili area was finally basically restored, and the newly surrendered soldiers were also trained to the point of being trained. Although it was difficult to compare with the original Anmin Army veterans, with the use of kindness and power, the vast majority of soldiers could finally remember the military laws and regulations.

On this day, the Zhao family invited Liu He and others to the banquet. After the banquet, Liu He was about to go to the army to inspect, and Xun Yu and Cui Jun rode with him.

"By the way, lord, Lianshan Restaurant has been prepared. I recommend my brother to tell my lord that if there is no accident, it will be officially opened in one month."

"Oh? With your Xun clan taking action, this matter will be done twice the result with half the effort. You tell the public recommendation that I will definitely go and support it on the day of opening."

Liu He was also very happy.

This Lianshan Restaurant is the restaurant of Ning Lian and Wang Shan. The couple invested 100,000 yuan, and the General's Mansion, Xun Family and Zhen Family each invested 200,000 yuan, totaling 700,000 yuan.

However, the cost is so huge that the restaurant is not in the prosperous north city, but in the south city where civilians gather. The name of the restaurant is combined with the names of the couple.

This restaurant covers a very wide area in Nancheng. Because the houses in Nancheng are much cheaper than those in Beicheng, the scale of this restaurant is unsurprisingly the largest of the entire Luoyang City.

The restaurant is located on the south side of the largest bridge on the Luo River, connecting the north and south cities.

After crossing the bridge, at the first intersection, there is a tall building at each of the four corners of the intersection, each with four high-rise buildings. The upper floors of the four high-rise buildings are connected by bridges. The entire building has flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. Although it is not as beautiful as many boutique restaurants in the North City, it is also full of atmosphere and magnificent work.

And these four tall buildings form the Lianshan Restaurant.

Although the restaurant has not opened now, the scale of this building is one of the best in Luoyang City, and it is even more unheard of in Nancheng. Therefore, there are a large number of curious people who stop at the entrance of this building, either watch and appreciate it, or talk about it.

Xun Jing naturally would not miss this good opportunity. He bribed a group of people early and spread news about restaurants in the streets every morning and evening. Except for not directly showing Liu He's shareholding, everything else was added to the fire and boasting about it.

For a moment, this Lianshan restaurant was simply portrayed as a holy place in the hearts of many people in Luoyang City: first-class dishes, excellent wine, elegant environment, and meticulous service. The most important thing is that such a restaurant that looks so powerful seems not high, and it is impossible to eat thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan every time like some restaurants in Beicheng.

This has made many people, especially those who have a little more money in their hands, as well as past business travelers, look forward to the opening of this restaurant.

However, these have nothing to do with Liu He. He is a hand-off manager. The chefs of the restaurant are Ning, Wang and his wife, and several other chefs are supplemented by them. Xun Jing and Zhen Yi have been busy with the restaurant these two days, and only Liu He, the shareholder, ignored them at all.

The reason was not that he didn't want to pay attention, but because a news from Bingzhou made him feel itchy and full of joy, which made him really not mindful of these minor matters.

This news was sent by Qian Li, and the content was simple: the military farms under the six northern counties were in charge of Zhan Lian, and the grain output was increased a little. In addition, the official ranch led by Mo Da and Zhao Kui were also incredible, and the hybrid hybrid cultivation methods have begun to show results.

The military military farms in Bingzhou have now exceeded one million acres and have been divided into eight large pieces, scattered in Shuofang County, Shangjun and Xihe County. This autumn harvest was obtained more than four million stones of grain and nearly one million stones of forage.

The pastures spanning Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen counties now have hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep and more than 100,000 horses, and the number of new cubs added this year is also quite considerable.

"Such strong soldiers and horses and food is ready, I will definitely be able to fight next year and decide Jizhou!"

Liu He clenched his fists, feeling full of passion.
