The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 51 Liu Bei’s propaganda

When the flames under the cauldron gradually extinguished, the cook took out a number of prepared large wooden barrels and scooped out the white, sticky rice porridge from the cauldron.

The people stared at the rice porridge that had just come out of the pot, ladlefuls of it into the big basin, and then it was carried to the small table placed in front of their team.

Seeing the basins of rice porridge being carried to the small table, the crowd began to commotion, but fortunately, there was no further attack on the team.

Because someone had tested the new prefect's attitude towards unruly people on their behalf, and tears flowed from the eyes of the buddy who was still lying on the ground, so no one tried to cause trouble again.

However, if anyone dares to disturb the order of disaster relief, the people present will probably do it themselves, and will not bother the soldiers on guard to do it themselves.

When large wooden barrels filled with rice porridge were placed in front of all the teams, everyone was waiting for Liu Bei's order, because he was the highest military and political officer here.

If he didn't give orders, no one would dare to take action. After all, the soldiers maintaining order were staring at them eagerly, and an iron-blooded atmosphere enveloped the whole place.

And why Liu Bei cooked porridge on the spot was to let the people in Fenggao know that there was a person like him Liu Bei.

Let the people know that Liu Bei is a person who can bring them food and clothing, and a person who can bring them peace.

It wasn't until Liu Bei stood on the wooden platform that had just been built so that the people could see him that the stagnant atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed.

Liu Bei stood on the wooden platform, holding a trumpet made of wood in his hand. The etched patterns on it decorated the mouth of the trumpet gorgeously and coolly.

This is a loudspeaker made by Yang Ji. It is carved from wood and etched with a special loudspeaker array that can transmit sound up to 1000 meters away.

Liu Bei put the horn to his mouth and used his inner energy to activate the amplification array. The etched lines gradually lit up, indicating that the working conditions were normal.

"Folks, I am Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the newly appointed governor of Taishan County. Before I serve porridge, I want to announce something."

"In three days, we will start the plan to rebuild Taishan County, and we will need a lot of workers by then."

"If anyone wants to come, you can come to me to register in the next few days. The registration place is still here. I will be waiting here every day for three days."

"The workers who participate in the work are paid two meals a day, which ensures that you can eat enough. In addition, you can settle the wages on the same day, which is the daily wages."

"Now, start serving porridge!"

Liu Bei didn't say much. He just announced that they would rebuild Taishan County and recruit local Taishan personnel to participate in the reconstruction work.

Although Liu Bei agreed with Chen Xi's plan to win people's hearts, he could also give more benefits to the people within the allowable range.

For example, now, the people's attention has been attracted by the white porridge in front of them. They didn't pay attention to what Liu Bei was talking about.

They heard the first two words, and restlessness lingered on every common person present.

If it weren't for the scarlet blood emanating from the weapons in the hands of the soldiers standing guard, they would have rushed forward in a swarm.

But Liu Bei didn't care whether the people heard what he said clearly, even though he was holding a loudspeaker specially made by Yang Ji.

He planned to wait here until the people had enough to eat, and then come and promote the rebuilding of Mount Tai to them.

After all, at this time, they are the only ones in Taishan County who have the ability to purchase food from outside to ensure that they have enough food before the autumn plowing and harvest.Today's disaster relief is just to show the people that he, Liu Xuande, has the ability to feed them, and he can also feed them in the future.

For this reason, he specially asked Chen Xi to write a notice, which described the future work of rebuilding Taishan County, which manpower was needed, how many people were needed, where the work was located, etc.

Someone among the tens of thousands of people here must have heard the news he announced, so someone will definitely come to ask about related matters later.

Sure enough, people came over to ask about relevant matters soon, but they came in groups, about a dozen people, holding rice bowls that had been licked clean in their hands.

The bowl made of pottery was a bit tattered. I don’t know how it got knocked, and there were a few holes on the edge.

They asked Liu Bei cautiously whether it was true that food was provided at the construction site and wages were paid.

Liu Bei answered their questions kindly and easily gained their trust. I don't know if Liu Bei's personality charm was wrong.

Because the loudspeaker in Liu Bei's hand was still working, the people still waiting in line heard the conversation between them, and some people who had finished their porridge immediately gathered around.

However, most people are hesitant. After all, the credibility of the government has been ruined, and the people's attitude towards the government is just that, distrustful.

However, it is not difficult for Liu Bei. In fact, it is not difficult for Chen Xi. Among so many people, there will always be some who want to be a dead ghost even if they die.

As long as these first batch of people participating in the construction site get the two full meals and wages promised by the government, there will definitely be people who cannot resist hunger and run to the construction site.

In this way, Chen Xi has the labor force to rebuild Mount Tai, the government's credibility also has a foundation of trust, the people have also harvested food and wages, and the people's hearts will gradually return as they have enough to eat.

While communicating with the people, Liu Bei didn't realize the passage of time. When he realized the dark sky, it was almost dark.

The communication between Liu Bei and the people was very pleasant, and the people were willing to say something to Liu Bei. I can only say that he is worthy of Liu Bei, because it is so easy to integrate into the people.

Famous ministers and good generals will not come to vote of their own accord, but the common people will.

Liu Bei only served porridge once today because he was not sure when Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang arrived at Mount Tai. He could only say that they arrived in the past few days.

But he didn't know the specific day, but based on Liu Bei's understanding of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, they would not miss the date.

The food Liu Bei is currently using for disaster relief is still obtained from the coalition forces, and the remaining food is probably only enough to feed 10 people for half a month.

Therefore, he could only give out porridge once a day, with the priority of ensuring that the people would not starve to death, and he did not think about other things.

To be honest, if Chen Xi had not already made a plan, he would not have launched the plan to rebuild Taishan County so quickly. In his mind, the first step should be to help the people resume farming.

However, he would not reject Chen Xi's plan. After all, he still knew what was going on in his mind, not to mention that he believed that Chen Xi's decision-making would be correct.

"Report, my lord, there is a person outside who claims to be your fellow countryman coming to visit."

When Liu Bei was packing his things and preparing to return to the Government Affairs Office, suddenly a messenger came to deliver a message.
