Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

Chen's house, Chen Xi lazily lay on the recliner, with a ball of fur on his body, and Macallan 30 years and cigarettes on the table beside him.

Zhuge Liang was no longer surprised, and never asked what those were.

This time, Zhuge Liang asked about the grain seeds. The grain seeds improved by the Chen family have stronger survival and adaptability, and higher yields.

"Grain seeds, it's nothing, I can provide it to you." Chen Xi asked back: "After giving you the grain seeds, what do you think this thing should be circulated within?"

Zhuge Liang was silent. He thought a lot. In the current situation, who has more food and who can afford more soldiers? There is no doubt that the grain seeds are the best for Liu Bei.

But... the people under the command of other princes are also the people of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang can't be indifferent, just let the people under Liu Bei's command eat, and ignore other people. What is the difference between him and those cold princes?

"I... am going to give the grain seeds to Liu Bei of Xinye County." Zhuge Liang said. This was the first time he showed his optimism for Liu Bei in front of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi understood immediately and chuckled: "What if his approach disappoints you?"

This time, Zhuge Liang did not answer.

"It's rare for you to ask me for this once. You can take the grain seeds. It will definitely meet the land demand of Xinye. There are still many surpluses. I have saved them for many years. As for what will happen in the future, let's see together."

Zhuge Liang bowed and thanked Chen Xi for his efforts on behalf of the people of the Han Dynasty.

For Liu Bei, this is also a test. It depends on how Liu Bei will treat the grain seeds this time. Will he only think about himself or benefit the world.

After receiving the grain seeds brought back by Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu was also a little bit sulky. This test was too tempting.

Yes, Xu Shu saw the problem at a glance, but he couldn't help but cooperate.

Xu Shu found Liu Bei with the grain seeds and related data. After offering them, he didn't care about the rest.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and shouted repeatedly, "There is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty." However, despite shouting, this guy did not show any intention of offering grain seeds to the court.

Mi Zhu was in charge of logistics. Liu Bei called Mi Zhu and others to a meeting.

With the new grain seeds, we can now open up wasteland and plant crops.

Liu Bei did not doubt the issue of grain seeds at all. This thing looks good. Whether the local people believe it or not, they will know after planting a crop.

Liu Bei began to busy himself with the work of opening up wasteland and planting crops. After a long time, he realized that the military advisor had not come to talk to him for a long time.

Did he do something to make the military advisor unhappy?

Liu Bei, who was a smart man, began to review his recent behavior. It seemed that he had not done anything bad.

When did the military advisor become estranged from him?

After thinking about it, Liu Bei finally thought of grain seeds!

He slapped his forehead and was very annoyed. Why did he forget his political slogan?

How could he keep such an auspicious thing all to himself?

But Liu Bei was unwilling to offer the grain seeds, which was equivalent to giving dry food to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei was in a dilemma. At this time, a person's temperament would be tested.

Should he offer the grain seeds to change the food problem of the entire Han Dynasty, or should he keep it for himself?

To be honest, Liu Bei wanted to keep this achievement all to himself. Not to mention Cao Cao, even Liu Biao didn't want to give it to him.

But the attitude of the military advisor also explained a lot of problems. If he didn't make a statement, the result would be disunity.

Liu Bei was facing a situation of choosing between two options: talents or grain seeds?

After thinking about it, Liu Bei decided to choose talents.

Grain seeds are important, but they are not very useful for his current situation.

It is true that giving grain seeds will further expand Cao Cao's strength, but if he doesn't give grain seeds, he still can't beat Cao Cao, there is no difference.

Liu Bei had never thought that he would be able to compete with Cao Cao. All he wanted was to be the boss and not be a younger brother. It didn't matter if his territory was small.

In this case, the grain seeds must not be concealed. Not only must they be offered, but they must also be offered with great fanfare to create a good reputation for himself.

Some grain seeds must also be sent to Liu Biao. Whether he believed it or not was Liu Biao's business. Whether he gave it or not was his attitude.

Liu Bei thought so and did so.

When the people sent by Liu Bei rushed to Xudu to meet Emperor Xian of Han with grain seeds, the entire court was shocked.

Is there such a big idiot in the world? !

The suspicious Cao Cao's first reaction was that there was a fraud. Could the big-eared thief want to harm me?

In front of all the officials in the court, Jian Yong showed the new grain seeds and related data. These were real data and real numbers.

After reading the grain varieties and data, Cao Cao's suspicion was reduced a lot, but he was even more puzzled. What was the big-eared thief going to do?

In the memorial Liu Bei submitted to Emperor Xian of Han, he had clearly stated his intentions. He only wished that everyone in the world could have enough food, and begged the court to vigorously promote the new grain varieties.

At this point, the people in the court were already very sure that Liu Bei was an idiot.

But this kind of mind was admired by the people present, even Cao Cao was convinced. If it were him, he would not be able to do such a mind and action.

Emperor Xian of Han was even more moved to tears. The emperor's uncle did a good job. Once this grain variety was issued, who would dare to say that he did not do anything? These were all his achievements during his reign.

Let the people of the world see that he is not a decoration, but still has some use.

With this great political achievement as a protection, Cao thief will have to be polite to him in the future.

Cao Cao is really happy and sad. He is also happy about the emergence of grain varieties, which can produce more grain in the future. He is also really sad. This wave of reputation has made the emperor and the big-eared thief happy, and he is not happy.

Compared with the court, Liu Biao is dismissive and does not believe in Liu Bei's new grain varieties at all, or he does not care about it.

No matter how much grain is produced, Liu Biao and his noble families will not starve, so they are not very enthusiastic about this matter.

Sun Quan is more perceptive. After learning about the news of grain varieties, he sent people to inquire about it. After checking it out, he really found a clue.

The clue was provided by Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Liang once mentioned farming in a letter to him, saying that there are new grain varieties with good yields, so that his elder brother does not have to worry about him and Zhuge Jun being hungry.

Zhuge Jin didn't take it seriously at first, but now the whole world knows about the grain seeds. He went home and found the family letter and found Sun Quan as soon as possible.

Jiangdong Group and Jingzhou Group are mortal enemies. They can't get new grain seeds from Liu Biao or Liu Bei. As a last resort, they can only set their sights on Zhuge Liang.

Sun Quan immediately decided to let Zhuge Jin go home to visit his family and take a long vacation. He can go back as long as he wants, but he can't come back empty-handed.

Zhuge Jin really hasn't been home for a long time, and he happily took people back to Longzhong.

Zhuge Jin was particularly happy about the growth of his second brother Zhuge Liang, but his third brother Zhuge Jun...did he go astray?

In the family letter, Zhuge Liang did mention that his third brother Zhuge Jun started to practice martial arts to strengthen his body. Zhuge Jin thought it was just the six arts of a gentleman, but now it seems not.

Is there such a general in the Zhuge family?

Zhuge Jun was wearing armor, riding a horse and shooting arrows, and picking wild boars with a spear. He was definitely a young general.

Zhuge Jin: (⊙o⊙)

Did I get too excited?

Or should I take a nap?

That night, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun warmly welcomed their eldest brother to come home to visit relatives, and told him about his life when his eldest brother was not at home.

Zhuge Jin looked at his calm second brother and his lively third brother, and was silent for a long time. He felt a little guilty and blamed himself. It was his fault as the eldest brother.

By the way, I must thank the Chen family.

It would be even better if I could persuade my second and third brothers to follow me to join Sun Quan.

"Brother." Zhuge Liang declined Zhuge Jin's offer when he just expressed this idea: "I have someone I like and I don't want to go to Jiangdong."

"Who do you like?"

"This... I can't tell you for now."

"Why?"

"Brother, don't ask any more."

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, and Zhuge Jin didn't ask him to the end. He just wondered who it was. Could it be Liu Biao?

Zhuge Liang didn't go to Jiangdong, so Zhuge Jun naturally didn't go either. He planned to follow his second brother.

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to ask about the Chen family indirectly.

"Brother, Qianhe is a man of high character and no ambition. He doesn't like a career in politics." Zhuge Liang helped Chen Xi reject Zhuge Jin's offer.

Not to mention that Chen Xi didn't want to be a government official, even if he had this idea, Zhuge Liang would dig him to Liu Bei's group as soon as possible. How could he let Chen Xi go to Jiangdong?

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to imagine what kind of tragedy it would be if his enemy in the future was Chen Xi.

Chen Xi knows too much, even Zhuge Liang has learned a lot from him, not to mention that he has a fighting power. Facing such an enemy, Zhuge Liang would feel a headache.

So it is best for Chen Xi not to serve as an official. If he really serves as an official, Zhuge Liang will risk everything to dig Chen Xi away.

Zhuge Jin visited Chen Xi the next day. The two did not talk much, mainly because they had no common topics to talk about.

Zhuge Jin is a very traditional literati. Chen Xi is not very interested in what he is good at.

Zhuge Jin is not interested in what Chen Xi is interested in. In this regard, he is not as broad-minded as Zhuge Liang.

He is not even as good as Zhuge Jun and the Chen family. At least they can get together to talk about military tactics.

Chen Xi did not say anything, and Zhuge Jin did not find any great talent in the other party. He just regarded Chen Xi as a talent who is good at farming. Since the other party is unwilling, forget it.

The grain seeds have been studied and he is willing to provide some to him. Zhuge Jin does not care whether to recruit Chen Xi or not.

Zhuge Jin just felt sorry. Why didn't his two younger brothers want to go with him? Wouldn't it be wonderful for the three brothers to serve Sun Quan at the same time?

Sun Quan was still very charismatic when he was young, and Zhuge Jin felt that he had met a wise master.

For the wise master in his heart, Zhuge Jin did not stay at home for long. A few days later, he left Longzhong with people and grain and returned to Jiangdong.

The departure of his elder brother made the two Zhuge brothers a little depressed. After this separation, they didn't know when they would meet again.

When eating at Chen's house, Zhuge Liang and Chen Xi also talked about Jiangdong Group.

The future rich land is now sparsely populated. The biggest problem facing Sun Quan is that there are not enough talents. He has no one to use, so he can only rely on the local nobles.

"If you want to change this situation, you can only popularize basic education. Knowledge is monopolized by the nobles, and ordinary people have no way out."

"Brother Qianhe is right, but it is too difficult to do this."

"If you want to do it, it's not impossible to do it, but the process is inevitably filled with death and killing."

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly. This is not an ordinary killing. Didn't you see that Cao Cao in the north didn't dare to do this? A single move would affect the whole body.

But the seed of this idea was planted in Zhuge Liang's heart. He thought that if there was a chance in the future, education must be popularized, and the knowledge and power should not be monopolized by the aristocratic families.

In the north, Yuan Shao's three sons fought each other, mainly Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and no one was willing to submit to the other.

Cao Cao did not intervene and let them toss around. He was idle and rolled his eyes and stared at Liu Bei.

Don't think that I won't fight you if you offer grain seeds.

You got away by luck last time, this time I'll see where you can escape.

After all, Liu Bei had just offered grain seeds not long ago, which was considered a great contribution to the court. It was really unreasonable to send troops to attack him.

Cao Cao changed the pretext and asked Cao Ren to lead the troops to suppress the bandits. As for whether they would fight to Liu Bei, it had nothing to do with him.

If you want to blame someone, blame the bandits. They had to go to Liu Bei's place when there were no other places to run.

Cao Ren led his army to leave Xudu and drove the bandits all the way to Liu Bei's territory, which made Liu Bei tremble with anger. Shameless!

The bandits were unlucky. They were beaten by Cao Ren before, and then beaten by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Cao Ren led his troops to arrive late. When he saw Liu Bei's army, he pretended that he didn't recognize it. Well, they were all bandits!

At this point, there was no need to say anything. Let's fight.

Liu Bei also saw that the other party was just pretending to be stupid, so he had to bite the bullet.

The vanguard Li Dian commanded the battle. Cao's army was numerous, but they could not withstand the assault of three peerless generals. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, with a few soldiers, dared to directly attack Cao's army.

Li Dian could not stop them at all and suffered a great defeat.

Cao Ren set up the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and personally fought against Liu Bei's army.

Cao Ren was confident that the other side was all wild and did not understand any military formations and military tactics.

Then... Cao Ren was taught a lesson by Xu Shu.

Cao Ren and Li Dian led the defeated army back to Xudu. Cao Cao was full of question marks. How did you lose?

Is Liu Bei so good at fighting now?

Xu Shu, who was called Dan Fu, was found out and had to leave Liu Bei and go to Xudu. Before leaving, Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang.

"Zhuge's talent is ten times better than mine."

Zhuge Liang had been building momentum for so long, and finally his reputation reached Liu Bei's ears.

The next step was to wait, waiting for Liu Bei to come and invite him. Zhuge Liang decided to seize the opportunity, after all, things that are too easy to get will not be cherished.
