Chapter 35
When the first ray of sunlight on February [-]rd of the seventh year of Guanghe pierced through the mist in the sky and fell, Liu Bei, who had stayed up all night, was not at all sleepy. His red eyes stared at the densely packed "yellow turban thieves" hundreds of feet away. Still hidden deep in the mist.

The white-haired and huddled head, the woman trying to wrap the thin child in her arms, and the dry boy who rubbed his hands and breathed out quietly stared at the gate of Wubao, forming a beautiful picture outside the Wubao wall.

Liu Bei took the jujube and corn porridge handed over by Jian Yu. The hot jujube and corn porridge relieved Liu Bei's tense and numb nerves. The poignant scene in front of him was still real. When they came running, the Cangtou shouted loudly, the Kuchai boy quickly took the children back, and the children howled loudly under the scolding of the woman and Cangtou!
Hearing the children's howling, Liu Bei lost the slightest appetite for the delicious jujube and corn porridge. He put down the bowl in his hand and said to the patriarch Liu Le who just came up: "What will happen if I let them in?"

Hearing this, Liu Le looked at the farmers lying on the ground outside, put down the bowl and said unconfidently: "We are both hometowns, so it shouldn't be too much!"

"Won't it devour us in an instant?"

"Probably not!"

The few people who had never encountered a peasant uprising had no idea. They looked carefully at Liu Bei and waited for him to make up his mind. Every peasant uprising was extremely destructive, and a massive peasant uprising was the end of a dynasty.

"It's better to let people go out to distribute porridge!"

After hesitating again and again, Liu Bei really couldn't watch the peasants sitting quietly outside the Wubao wall starve to death little by little, and even did crazy things while hungry.

The sun was rising, but the docks slowly opened, and the farmers who were sitting quietly began to commotion, and then saw a group of young and strong people pushing their carts out. The tempting corn porridge on the cart made the already hungry farmers unable to restrain themselves. Walk towards the docks.

"Bring them all back to the old man."

A gray-haired man trembled and shouted, and a young man asked in puzzlement, "What is Grandpa Ninth doing?"

"What if it's Liu Heixin's trick? Shu'er, have you forgotten how Liu Heixin slaughtered the villagers last night? What if he uses a bowl of porridge as a lure to shoot you and others one by one?"

Cangtou's scolding made the boy withered back his feet, and a thin yellow girl nestled in the arms of a woman poked her head out and shouted weakly: "Brother, I'm hungry!"

With a start, the thin body of the dry wood boy turned abruptly and ran towards the car in front of the Wubao gate. Someone led the boys running out one after another, and the old man shouted furiously before the women stopped the commotion.

"The mouse is here to drink porridge! Wait for a while, and wait for Third Uncle to finish everything before serving it to you!"

As soon as the mouse ran to the porridge cart, the third uncle who worked in Wubao in the village greeted him enthusiastically. The mouse was confused by the enthusiasm of the third uncle. Black Heart really wants to give porridge?Can live, can live.The mouse's heart is extremely hot, and it doesn't feel hungry or cold immediately!Said: "Third Uncle, I will help you."

"Okay!"

A quarter of an hour later, all the teenagers came back with their bowls in their hands. It was a great honor to see the siblings swallowing the corn porridge regardless of the heat. It turned out that being the pillar of the family was such a blessing.

Seeing that the young man ran back intact, the rest of the farmers swarmed towards the porridge cart in front of the Wubao gate, and some women and children who hadn't had time to stand up were trampled under their feet by their hungry stomachs.

The tide of farmers swarmed in, making Liu Bei a little scared and hurriedly asked people to shoot arrows. The dense arrows shot down a few steps in front of the people. The people in the front suddenly stopped but were pushed to the ground by the people behind. It was only after the rain of arrows that the crowd stopped, countless eyes looked at the top of the city in puzzlement, although they were speechless, the waves were surging.

The members of the Liu family on the Wubao wall did not make them wait any longer, and they shouted loudly: "Each person has a bowl of corn porridge. Children and women get first, and the elderly, young and strong, line up to get it in an orderly manner." If there are people who make trouble and don't line up, don't blame us for being ruthless, now the young and strong old people step aside and let the women lead the children in front of the line."

The people outside the wall rioted for a while and remained still. Finally, Grandpa Ninth shouted loudly: "Do as they say! We are dead! The children can still survive."

The crowd began to squirm, and the women led the children to line up to get the porridge. The young and old people waited with hunger on the side. A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks couldn't help being hungry and mixed with the women. After a while, he was killed by members of the Liu clan Pull out an arrow and shoot.

The originally orderly crowd caused a burst of chaos. Fortunately, under the persuasion of the old man, the calm quickly returned. The women and children quickly finished their porridge, and the rest were the old and the young.

"Xuande, I'm afraid it will cause trouble if they are full, not to mention we don't have much food in stock?"

With the support of Liu Ling, the elder Liu Hun came down to the top of the city, looked at the thousands of young and strong people queuing up below the city to receive porridge, and comforted him.

Didn't Liu Bei know that so many young and strong people gathered together, and one bad thing would bring him great trouble, so Liu Bei prepared gruel, and each person could only get one bowl.

"Is there any way for the elders to prevent them from causing trouble?"

Liu Hun's cloudy eyes shone brightly, and he shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that people will cause trouble if they have nothing to do."

yes!That's how Much Ado About Nothing came about.Liu Bei thought of the very famous work-for-work, especially since spring is coming, spring wheat can be planted, and there are no tractors, Quyuan plows, etc., that can just be used for farming.But before plowing again, clean up the corpses outside the wall.

Three or four hundred farmers were shot outside the wall, while five or six hundred were frozen to death or trampled to death. The corpses of nearly a thousand people were used as nutrients to make Liu Bei's farm successfully upgrade to level 600.

When the farm has been upgraded to level 4000, it has the size of six acres of land, which is [-] corns. After one corn matures, there will be dozens of corns. Dozens of corns produced by the farm can make a young and strong eat two full meals. , Corn can mature four times a day, and one tenth of it is a mine. One hundred and eight thousand corns mature in a day, which can ensure the survival of [-] people.

In this chaotic world, as long as you don't starve to death, you can have someone to take refuge in. This is Liu Bei's only capital in this troubled world.

Nearly a thousand young and strong packed up the corpses under the supervision of dozens of members of the Liu clan, and began to set up a reed canopy outside Wubao to avoid the severe cold. The young and strong with a hoe can only use sharp wood to cultivate.

The old and young women and children wove a lot of reed grass into reed armor to wear on their bodies. The reed armor is not only stronger than the coarse cloth clothes, but also keeps warm. Even so, more than a dozen people and children are still frozen to death every day.
