Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 70 You Know Lu Bu
Zhong lay straight on the couch, staring at the morning light outside the window, his whole body turned gray, like a flattened salted fish.

He should have thought of it a long time ago, how could someone like Boss Cao, who trains every day and likes to sleep on his back, not snore...

"Haha~" Zhong Ping yawned, slowly sat up from the couch, pinched the base of his nose, trying to stay awake.

Cao Cao was indeed very considerate. After Yin Shi woke up in the morning, thinking that Zhong Ping was still "sleeping", he deliberately didn't call the maid to serve him, and changed his clothes by himself.

He turned around to help Zhong Ping tuck the quilt, then blew out the candle, then gently pushed the door open and left without making a sound.

But as soon as Cao Cao left, Zhong Ping opened his eyes.After listening to the snoring all night, he couldn't sleep at all.

It's just that Cao Cao was so sincere that Zhong Ping couldn't bear to brush off his kindness and pretended to be sleeping soundly.

Unexpectedly, when the morning light came into the window, Zhong Ping stroked the quilt that Cao Cao had tucked up for him, and couldn't help being slightly lost in thought.

"Lang Jun is still resting, sir, please wait a moment."

Tan Nu's voice came from outside the house, Zhong Ping put on his cloth boots on the bed, and guessed that the person outside the door should be Xi Zhicai who came to discuss water conservancy with him.

He didn't call Tannv into the room to serve. After washing himself, he invited in a loud voice: "Just wait and see, Mr. Xi can just come in."

The curtain outside the door moved slightly, and the first thing Zhong Ping saw was the bamboo fan raising the curtain, followed by the slightly yellowed corners of the clothes, which should be made of burlap.

As the man entered the house, Zhongping's nose flapped and closed, and he smelled a light smell of wine, which was not offensive, but instead had a sweet smell of malt.

"Xi Zhong, Xi Zhicai, met Taishi Ling."

Xi Zhicai bowed with a smile, bowed slightly for a moment, then got up with a freehand posture.For a moment, Zhong Ping imagined the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties on those murals, and he was frank and self-admired.

This person should be suitable for "light fur and slow belt, not shoes but clogs".

"The agricultural implements painted by Taishi Ling, Zhong has ordered people to transform several copies, and sent them to Sima, just to be tested. Zhong believes that since this object is improved by Tai Shiling, how to use it requires Tai Shiling's guidance?"

"Pingzheng has this intention, and is willing to try it in the field to see its effect. At the same time, he will inspect the terrain and improve the water conservancy."

Zhong Ping casually rolled up his skirt and sat cross-legged on the couch.Xi Zhicai has a magical sense of atmosphere, which makes people relax when chatting, and can't help letting go of their guards and getting close to each other.

"Mr. Xi, please sit down."

Seeing Zhong Ping's disrespectful behavior, Xi Zhicai not only felt no discomfort at all, but calmly took off his hemp shoes, went on the couch with bare feet, and crossed his legs like Zhong Ping.

"Tai Shiling also has a unique opinion on the construction of canals and dams?"

He was a bit surprised at the moment, it wasn't Xi Zhi who didn't believe Chong Ping, it was because the other party was too young, born in Chang'an, and had no farming experience.

Suddenly hearing the meaning of Zhong Ping's words, he seemed to be quite proficient in water conservancy matters, Xi Zhicai was inevitably a little surprised.

Zhong Ping couldn't find a reason to prevaricate for a while, his face was calm, and his tone was natural: "I understand, I understand. Ping is just talking on paper. Whether it can be effective or not depends on local conditions."

Xi Zhicai was taken aback by Zhong Ping's overly bland expression, and couldn't help but doubt his life: Is Tai Shiling serious with his expression of "Water conservancy, Xiao Daoer, just have hands?"
Or is the threshold for counselors so high now?

I am not worthy...

"Dongwuyang is on the side of the Luoshui River. It is prone to waterlogging during the rainy season. If the estuary is silted up, the river often hangs on the bank and breaks the dam. In the dry season, it is prone to drought. It is not easy to get water for irrigation only by tracing the source upstream. "

Xi Zhicai briefly introduced the geography of Dongwuyang County, and was more interested in the solution that Zhongping would propose.

The drought and flood in Dongwuyang was indeed difficult. He and Xun Yu had discussed for a long time, but they only settled on methods such as strengthening the embankment, regular dredging, and opening up branch canals.

Cooperate with a set of practice, although slower, but also effective.

"Hmm..." Zhong Ping thought that this question sounds familiar... the river hangs on the bank?Isn't this the river on the ground?There are also those who died from drought, and those who died from flooding... So Luoshui is the Little Yellow River, right? !

Before the college entrance examination, I did so many geography questions about harnessing the Yellow River, and it finally came in handy!From this point of view, I still enjoyed the bonus of liberal arts!
He smiled confidently, and replied slowly: "Ping has a strategy, which can protect the embankment and solve the problem of mouth."

"Using grass ropes, shoots, and reeds as raw materials, mixed with gravel, and running across them with huge bamboo ropes, and then rolled up and tied up. The diameter is about one to three or four feet, and the length is about a hundred feet. Place it in a dangerous place on the embankment. , it is called 'Yuan', which can be combined with Longmen."

"It's just that the body is too long to be pressed by manpower, and the bamboo does not reach the bottom of the water. It is easy to have a continuous river and a lot of broken cables. I usually think that sixty steps can be divided into three sections, each section is twenty steps long, and the middle is connected by cables. It belongs to it. Let’s play the first section first, wait until it reaches the bottom, then press the second and third.”

"At the same time, the Farmland Water Conservancy Law was promulgated, and officials were dispatched to take charge of this matter. Anyone who can propose land planting methods, point out the advantages and disadvantages of ponds, dikes, and ditches, and if they are effective, they can be rewarded according to their utility."

"Reward the people to build water conservancy projects and reclaim wasteland in various places."

Zhong Ping thought that it could be regarded as a professional counterpart, and the revised "Chinese Law" finally came in handy.

He originally thought that if he traveled to ancient times, he, a law student, would be useless.

"As for drought resistance..." Zhongping scratched his head. He really didn't do many questions about drought resistance. Every time he took the Yellow River management test, he basically tested how to fight floods and prevent waterlogging.

But it is still the rainy season, and it is still far from the dry season. With this time, it is enough for Zhong Ping to recall the knowledge points of his previous life.

If it doesn't work, why don't you still have Brother Tong? When Boss Cao implements my strategy, maybe there will be rewards for drought resistance?

"There are priorities. After solving the problem of rain and waterlogging, there is no rush to consider the matter of drought. What do you think, sir?"

"It's really a good strategy!" Xi Zhicai rolled up his sleeves, his eyes lit up, he took off the wine bottle at his waist, and poured "ton, ton, ton" into his mouth.

Zhong Ping was dumbfounded, watching the wine slip down from the corner of the opponent's mouth, half of it hung on his beard, half of it soaked through his shirt and wet his sleeves.

He knows why Xi Zhicai passed away early in history. With such a drinking method, even if he is not poisoned by water, he will be choked to death...

After all, the bamboo tube of Xi Zhicai is poured down, which fully meets the definition of water intoxication due to excessive water intake or excretion.

As for why he wasn't drunk to death... With the smell of alcohol, the chance of dying drunk is not as high as the probability of being drowned in alcohol.

"Tai Shi ordered a good plan to accompany the wine, Zhong Sheng drinks the fine wine!"

Xi Zhicai pulled the skirt of his shirt, wiped off the alcohol from the corner of his mouth, was about to put away the wine bottle, but stopped, and turned to Zhongping to "Amway":
"Although Zhong's wine is not as good as 'Jiu Niang Gan Li', the wine is brewed with bamboo as the utensil and its fragrance.

Zhong Ping really wanted to refuse on the grounds that "minors are not allowed to drink alcohol". The scene where Xi Zhicai was drinking left him too shocked.

Just looking at it, he felt as if he was also drunk, and he didn't want to try it himself.

However, the other party's Amway words are indeed very attractive, with bamboo fragrance and sweetness... For Zhong Ping, who eats corn porridge with cold fungus every day, what a temptation this is!

"Ping is not good at drinking." Zhong Ping gave Xi Zhicai a vaccination first. Although the alcohol content of the other party is definitely not high, it is the first time that this body of Zhong Ping drinks alcohol. Who knows if he will be drunk...

Well, with this degree, I can fully handle it with my age's metabolic level, so don't panic!

He took the bamboo tube containing the wine, and smelled it first, just as Xi Zhicai said, the light wine aroma was tinged with green bamboo, fresh and attractive.

Zhong Ping tentatively took a sip.

……Eh?It's sweet, and it tastes similar to the fermented rice that I ate in my previous life.

It smells very bamboo, but it doesn't taste like bamboo when you drink it.

He couldn't help but think of those men's articles he had read: Distilled wine is standard in time travel, chami is a must, do I want to do it too...

Phew, what are you thinking!

Although the Han Dynasty still had some measures to prohibit alcohol after the abolition of the liquor policy promulgated by Emperor Wu, it was relatively loose, and even acquiesced in the legal existence of private winemaking.

However, given the current situation in Dongwuyang, it is difficult to ensure that the people have rations, and they still make wine?Not to mention the loss of distillation and purification, and the requirements for the amount of grain...

If you really want to make distilled wine, I'm afraid it's possible to travel to the time of Wenjing, after all, there was a lot of surplus food in the treasury at that time.

If you dress up as a relative of the royal family, it is absolutely fine to have a private drink. If you want to make money, you can also resell it among the nobles.

However, you must ensure that you cannot be pulled off the horse, otherwise this private brew will become a good handle to add insult to injury.

In short, if you travel to the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, it is best not to think about making a fortune from distilled wine.

Zhong Ping was thinking about whether to write a "Guide for Travelers", to use his good qualities of being helpful, and to remind the travelers in the future...

Forget it, now what do you think about these things?
"This wine is elegant and delicate, with a long aftertaste. I can only feel the lingering fragrance in my mouth. If I describe it in a poem, I have the feeling of 'sitting alone in a secluded grove, playing the piano and singing, and the people in the deep forest don't know, and the bright moon comes to see each other'."

Chong Ping shamelessly plagiarized a poem by Wang Wei.

It is strange to say "Li Baidou's Hundred Poems on Wine", ancient poems do have to match wine, and the combination of the two will show its flavor.

Zhong Ping was still guilty, but Xi Zhicai grabbed his hand, tears welling up in his eyes: "Loyalty has been drifting away for a long time, I hate wine, and it's hard to find a bosom friend. Unexpectedly, there is such a person as Tai Shiling in the world!"

"If Tai Shi Ling does not abandon him, he will be loyal and willing to worship him as a big brother!"

How did Xi Zhicai get so angry?
You know Lu Bu...

Zhong Ping and Xi Zhicai held hands and looked at their tearful eyes, but were speechless.

If you guessed right, you should be over 20 this year...

Call me a 13-year-old kid big brother?

Difficult mussels.

For a moment, Zhong Ping uncontrollably began to doubt whether the Xi Zhi in front of him had been traversed.

After all, there is indeed a big difference between the other party's flamboyant Wei and Jin celebrities before, and this... image now.

It wasn't until the other party hiccupped that Zhong Ping realized: Good guy, he was drunk, no wonder he started talking nonsense.

"Tan Nu? Tan Nu?" Zhong Ping helped Xi Zhicai who muttered "big brother" and whispered to Tan Nu outside.

"Mr. Lang." It was the first time that Tan Nu heard Zhong Ping call her name, and her cheeks flushed red, like clouds dyed the blue sky, more beautiful than peach blossoms.

"What's your order, Mr. Lang?" She bent her knees slightly, with a soft ending, as if she had a lot of little hooks on her, which tickled people's hearts.

Zhong Ping saw Tan Nu entering, as if he had received amnesty, he was very puzzled and waved to Tan Nu, pointing to Xi Zhicai on the couch, and said: "Mr. Xi is drunk, please take care of him first. If Mr. wakes up, tell him directly. , I’ll just go to Xun Sima’s.”

The shy expression on Tannu's face froze: "... maidservant, maidservant knows."

She still wanted to struggle without giving up: "Your Majesty, do you need a maid to accompany you when you go out?"

Zhong Ping thought that it's not that I don't know the way, it's only a matter of ten minutes, what's there to follow?
"No need." Zhong Ping held his temper, he really didn't expect Xi Zhi to love wine so much... Just the energy of pouring these two glasses, it's true that he loves to eat and play.

"...Forget it, just invite Mr. Xi to the field when the time comes."

"promise."

Tannu looked eagerly at the back of Zhong Ping leaving, and glanced at Xi Zhicai who was sprawling on the couch, with great resistance in her heart.

Damn it... the servant girl hasn't touched the body of the gentleman yet, even if Mr. Xi is on the couch, the servant girl is unwilling to untie his clothes and wipe them!
Tan Nu did a lot of psychological training, and slowly approached the bed, blushing at first, and secretly touched the pillow:
Mr. Xiao Lang fell asleep on this soft pillow last night...

She was a little shy, and couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth from rising. She looked down at Xi Zhicai on the couch, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously lowered, returning to a serious expression.

"gentlemen."

Tannu brought a basin of water, and just after wetting the towel, the "drunk" Xi Zhicai sat up on the couch.

"Go down, you don't need to serve here."

Xi Zhicai's tone was calm, his brows were closed in thought, how could he be half drunk?
"Remember, there is no need for people to enter again."

"No." Tan Nu bowed and picked up the wooden basin, and exited respectfully, but her heart was full of panic.

Mr. Xi is fine, why do you pretend to be drunk in front of your husband?
Could it be that……

Thinking of something bad, Tannu frowned, not caring about her fate, she hurriedly put the water basin aside, and went to catch up with Zhongping.

Her heart was beating extremely fast.

It stands to reason that she was sold into the mansion as a slave, so she should stand on Mr. Xi's side, and in any case she shouldn't risk her life to report to Zhong Ping, who has been with him for less than half a day.

However... Tannu bit her lower lip.

She thought of Zhong Ping's gentle "Thank you", and the polite "Trouble", "Please"... Except for Zhong Ping, no one had ever spoken to her like this.

Even though she is just a maidservant, a "housewife" who has been given the name to "serve" the guests, she also knows the truth that "a scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a pleasing self.".

For one day of kindness to the king, I would like to entrust my life for a hundred years.

Sir, wait for the servant girl!
