Chapter 107 3. Zhuge Liang was very injured

Zhuge Liang, how did Liu Bei solve the problem of insufficient soldiers? Zhuge Liang said: "Boss, have you considered the management of floating population? The reason why Jingzhou is short of soldiers is because you only thought of the fixed population, but there are still a large number of floating population. These people fled to Jingzhou one after another in order to escape the war. In Jingzhou at that time, the number of floating population was much higher than that of the fixed population. As long as soldiers were sent to register the floating population and organize them in the name of applying for temporary residence permits, then you would have an army that could rival Cao Cao in number. .”

These words really frightened Liu Bei into a fool. According to historical records, the first thing Zhuge Liang did to help Liu Bei was to incorporate the floating population into the army, so Liu Bei got an army of 400,000 at once. You know, in the world at that time, there were only two people in the world who had the ability to pull the common people out of their warm quilts and force them to fight in groups on the battlefield, namely Cao Cao and Liu Bei.Because of this, Cao Cao said: "Heroes in the world, let the king and Cao." Now here comes Zhuge Liang, who is more ruthless than Cao Cao and Liu Bei combined. He doesn't even spare the floating population, and he has to squeeze out the oil to squeeze out the juice.

Discovering that Zhuge Liang has such a genius, Liu Bei hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang to sit up as if he had found a treasure. If Zhuge Liang sat down, then he would not be Zhuge Liang.He said affirmatively at that time: "I'm sorry boss, I think I'm still not suitable to go out to work. I'm going home, staying at home is my favorite thing." Then he dropped his pick and went home.At this time Liu Bei finally woke up, Zhuge Liang was angry with him.Because he didn't visit the thatched cottage. Zhuge Liang had already sent Sima Zheng and Xu Shu, two groups of people came to lobby Liu Bei and let Liu Bei go to take care of the thatched cottage.But Liu Bei didn't see the rabbit, he didn't scatter the eagle, and he didn't pay attention, which hurt Zhuge Liang very much, so he raised the price.Now this thatched hut is not done just once, you have to look three times, even if you miss one.

So, if Zhuge Liang is really so angry, isn't he afraid that Liu Bei will be unhappy?On the contrary, Liu Bei will be very happy.Just relying on the management of floating population alone is worth Liu Bei's doing.Having said that, Liu Bei is a man of knowledge, and he knows that Zhuge Liang is worth the price.If he didn't know, Zhuge Liang wouldn't spread his chips. In addition, Zhuge Liang set this price for another purpose.Liu Bei is obliged to cooperate with him in the hype, and to stir up Zhuge Liang's fame in the shortest possible time. Because Zhuge Liang has a great talent, he needs to make great use of it.But his fame, but only in the narrow circle of Jingzhou, does not constitute an influence on the world, which is bound to drag down Zhuge Liang's deterrent power to Cao Cao and others.So we must take this opportunity to make Zhuge Liang famous.The more famous Zhuge Liang is, the more benefits Liu Bei will reap. This is something both parties know well.

Therefore, after deliberation, another possibility cannot be ruled out: the three visits to the thatched cottage was a hype plan jointly planned by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei after he saw Liu Bei in person and demonstrated his ingenious political skills. You know, Zhuge Liang will soon be sent to Soochow as Liu Bei's special envoy.If Zhuge Liang's value is not raised in advance, and an unknown Zhuge Liang is sent, I don't know what this guy is doing, maybe the reception standard is not enough, so I only send a deputy chief staff member to accompany Zhuge Liang to drink tea and wash his feet. That would be a big mistake.

At this time, if you go back to read Zhuge Liang's "List of Teachers", you will suddenly realize: "The first emperor did not regard his ministers as despicable, but humiliated himself. He paid three visits to his ministers in the thatched cottage..." You will find the loopholes in this sentence, Liu Bei Anyway, he is also a boss-level person. If he goes there once, Zhuge Liang should return a salute. lose face.He Zhuge Liang is such a smart person, doesn't he know how to save Liu Bei some face?Unless, Zhuge Liang had already obtained Liu Bei's acquiescence in advance.

The interesting history began like this, and Liu Bei started to visit the thatched cottage with great interest.But Zhuge Liang moved a small bench and sat on the roof every day. When he saw Liu Bei coming, he hurried into the bathroom, claiming that he was not at home, so that Liu Bei could not take care of him. These are two extremely intelligent people playing a well-known game.This game is played for the stupid common people.There is only one purpose, to increase Zhuge Liang's worth and popularity, and to achieve a win-win situation for him and Liu Bei. The first time I came, Zhuge Liang hid in the bathroom: I'm sorry, I'm not at home.

The second time I came, Zhuge Liang still got into the bathroom: I'm sorry, I'm not here again this time. For the third time, Zhuge Liang finally came out the door: "Who will wake up to the big dream first? I know it all my life. The cottage is full of sleep in spring, and the sun outside the curtain is late..." When he opened the door, what he saw was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande in black and purple. s face. This time, it was Liu Bei's turn to get angry. "I didn't pay attention to the thatched cottage. It was my fault. I owed you. Now, you poor thatched cottage, I have already paid attention to it. It is your turn, Zhuge Liang, who owes me Liu Bei."

"Show it! Zhuge Liang, you have to show it again. If you don't show it, then I, Liu Bei, will be a fool if I close my eyes and look at the thatched cottage." Zhuge Liang blinked his eyes, had no choice but to show his hand again. Longzhong is right!
