I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

After bidding farewell to Liu Yu, this year will come to an end again.

Under the double guarantee of tuntian and land equalization system, this year is another bumper harvest year.The national treasury was full of food and supplies, and the refugees had a place to live and work.Even Youzhou, which was shattered by the war, was much more comforted than in the previous two years.

If there is no accident, we can consider building water conservancy after another two years of stability.

When Mi Eun led the army back to Chang'an, many people along the way heard about this and rushed to wherever Mi Eun went regardless of the cold weather, kneeling down to thank Mi E.

Mi Rian stopped in her tracks.

In fact, these people can be ignored.As long as he leaves, the people will disperse with him.

It's just that when he watched some local people bring their whole families, young and old, wearing only broken clothes made of linen and straw on such a cold day.Even though his whole body was covered with sores from the cold, he still brought fresh cabbage and radishes grown by himself to present to the soldiers.

Even after being rejected, he still knelt on the ground piously and repeatedly explained: "It was Prime Minister Mi who led the troops to save us, so we will send some cabbages and radishes grown by ourselves, which are worthless!"

Mi Yan's indifferent heart was shaken a bit.

In the earliest days, this world was actually just a false simulation world for him.As the youngest general in the empire after 3000 years, he came with a mission and would leave after the mission was completed, that's all.

He didn't need to care about the life and death of the general public in this world, and he didn't need to worry about whether his methods should be radical or moderate.

When did it start to change?

Perhaps it was the understanding and trust of teachers and classmates, or the warm and simple concern among neighbors...or maybe it was the first time when he was born with Mi's parents and brothers, which made him feel the warmth and love that was completely different from the cold family in the previous life. .

Even a stone would be warmed, not to mention Mi Yan's heart is not made of stone, every bit of warmth makes him cherish all these things and wants to keep them.

He was no longer the original him.

Mi Yan waved his hand to summon his subordinates, but instead of driving these people away, he ordered people to fetch surplus cotton, grain, and dried mushrooms and give them to these folks.

——He has cultivated batch after batch of edible mushrooms in greenhouses over the years. In addition to selling them to the nobles, they are also mainly dried and sent to military camps as food.When marching and fighting, boil it into the food to add umami and nutrition to the soldiers.

The more than a hundred people who came here to give them away were flattered.

They came to give Mi Jun some fresh food, how could they accept Mi Yan's gift in turn?

Everyone hurriedly said, "I can't make it, I can't make it", and desperately refused.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly when he saw that he could not complete the task Mi Yan had given him.The stern appearance frightened the people tremblingly, and they knelt down and trembled, not daring to speak any more.

It's not that he's impatient, it's just that he has a fierce look by nature, and his brows and eyes are too sharp.Guo Jia once joked that a few more victories would have the magical effect of "stopping children's hooves".

Mi Yan has now walked to his side.

He helped up the two old men who were kneeling on the ground at the front: "Everyone, there is a rule in the army that you are not allowed to take a single needle from the civilians without authorization. If you want the army to take your things, then exchange them with you. "

He was born good-looking, and always had a smile on his face, which made people get close to him.But there was an air of alienation all over his body, which somehow made people dare not be presumptuous.

So he exchanged things with Mi Jun in a muddle-headed way.

They held the boxes that Mi Yan left for them, until the [-] Mi troops had left and could no longer be seen, then opened a few wooden boxes and asked blankly, "What is this?"

Five wooden boxes were stuffed full of cotton, while the other two were shriveled like hay.

Someone inside had served in the Mi army, and exclaimed: "This is cotton, which can be made into clothes or sold for money; the other is dried straw mushrooms, which can be eaten after soaking them in water!"

"This white snow-like thing is cotton?! I just heard about it. It is said that the clothes made of cotton are very warm, and you don't have to freeze in winter!"

"Who is that young man who actually gave us such a valuable thing?"

The man who served before said: "At the beginning, the fierce one was Colonel Zhang Liao, and the other one who is particularly good-looking is Prime Minister Mi!"

Just now he dared not speak because of Mi Rian's majesty, but now he happily told the surrounding folks what he saw and did when he was serving in Mi Rian's camp.

I heard people around me exclaiming again and again.

Many people burst into tears: "Prime Minister Mi not only gave us a place to settle down, but also gave us such a precious thing, he is like a living god!"

"Yes, yes," the people beside him agreed, "After we go back, we will build a Longevity Temple for Prime Minister Mi and enshrine him!"

"This method is good, let's stand together in our village!"

"..."

Let people put away the carts of radishes and cabbages, and Mi Ren continues to lead the troops back.

He didn't say anything, but Li Jue and Lu Bu were slightly stunned and thoughtful.

As close friends of Dong Zhuo, Lv Bu and Li Jue didn't really agree with the style of Mi Yan's army after they had tasted the taste of being corrupted by power, thinking that he was too harsh.

How can an army live like an ascetic without drinking and looting rich households and common people?

Although they have restrained themselves in Mi Yan's army for the past three years, deep down in their hearts, they still yearn for the free days when they followed Dong Zhuo and plundered the nobles.

But today, seeing the people along the way thankful and devoutly presenting gifts one by one—even though they are all worthless things, the feeling of satisfaction in my heart is far better than the original wanton indulgence.

Lu Bu and others suddenly realized at this moment:

It turns out that practicing martial arts is not only for strengthening the body, or fighting bravely; it turns out that joining the army is not only for glory, or to rob the powerful.

It turns out that the most important thing is to use this martial art to fight, to quell the war and bring peace to the people of the world!

And this is the bounden duty of a soldier.

Seeing the two gradually agreeing, Jia Xu smiled and said, "It is enough for the two generals to understand this truth."

A capable and charismatic general can always make his subordinates integrate into his army, can't he?

……

The end of the year is approaching.

Mi Ren originally planned to return to Chang'an by himself first, and the remaining soldiers and horses ordered Lu Bu and others to return after Zheng Yuexue.

As a result, he received a letter from Mi Zhu halfway, saying that Mu Lu Zhi of Xuzhou was seriously ill and he might not recover.

Earlier Lu Zhi defeated Gongsun Zan and asked Gongsun Zan to surrender, but Gongsun Zan refused.Lu Zhi was disheartened, and fell seriously ill after returning, and was unable to command the subsequent battles.

His illness lasted more than a year and a half, and his old body completely collapsed.Even if Zhang Zhongjing's teacher saw him in his hometown, he couldn't get better after all.

For Mi Eun, Lu Zhi is not only his uncle, but also his benefactor who blocked the court from arresting the Mi clan.

So he wrote to Xun Yu to explain the situation, and then went back to Donghai County, Xuzhou.

When he arrived at Lu Mansion, another disciple of Lu Zhi, Liu Bei, also came here.As before, his two righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came with him.

Seeing Mi Rian, the three of them got up and saluted: "I've seen Prime Minister Mi."

"Why do you three have to be so polite?" Mi Yan helped Liu Bei up, then nodded to the other two, "How is Master?"

Liu Bei sighed, shook his head and remained silent.

He arrived three days earlier than Mi Ren, and seeing his teacher's current appearance, he couldn't bear to tell him the news of Gongsun Zan's death in Yijing.

He knew that Lu Zhi would not blame Mi Yan, but only blame the students he taught for going astray.After all, he and Gongsun Zan were also good friends, but what Gongsun Zan did in Youzhou could not be excused even by him as a good friend.

With some relief in her heart, Mi Yan turned to look at Lu Zhi.

The tall and strong old man in my memory will be skinny now, and will no longer have the healthy appearance of being old and strong.

It is embarrassing.

Perhaps because of Lu Zhi's current appearance, Xun Shuang and Zheng Xuan felt emotional, and both suffered from a cold.

Mi Ren prepared several cotton-padded clothes and woolen sweaters for them, and went to visit them in person, serving them soup and medicine.

The two originally refused, after all, Mi Riangui was the prime minister of the dynasty and had different identities.

But Mi Yan said: "If the prime minister doesn't care about his sick teacher and uncle, then what kind of etiquette and righteousness can he have to convince the world?"

He paused, and then said: "Otherwise, if Wen Ruo knows about this, he must blame me for not taking good care of you."

Xun Shuang and Zheng Xuan gave up and accepted Mi Yan's service.

Probably because they didn't want to work too hard, the mood of the two of them gradually calmed down, and the wind and cold also quickly improved.They all recovered within a few days, and they went to visit Lu Zhi together.

Seeing that the two of them recovered, Lu Zhi smiled and said, "As soon as Zisu comes back, you will be happy."

"That's great." There was a little joy in his old eyes, "That's great."

Contrary to several of his old friends, he can feel his life passing by his fingertips every day, and he is afraid that he will die soon.But there is no need to say such frustrating words, he is always a person who mourns the past and the present.

A few people chatted for a while, then Lu Zhi swung back to the left and right, struggled to get up and said to Mi Ren: "Prime Minister Mi, I have a heartfelt request."

Mi Yan hurriedly supported him: "Master, please tell me."

Lu Zhi sighed, "Gongsun Zan, I can't save him. But another disciple of mine, Liu Bei, still hopes that Prime Minister Mi will give him a chance to survive."

Mi Ren paused for a moment: "Why did Master Master say that?"

Lu Zhi sighed again.

"I'm about to die," Lu Zhi said slowly, "If you still can't see what Prime Minister Mi's plan is, isn't it true that you have lived for so many years in vain?"

"The Han Dynasty is in its infancy, and the country is overthrown. I have no ability to save the world." He grabbed Mi Yan's hand, "I know that Prime Minister Mi has this ability, and I also know that you have embarked on this road, and there is no way to turn back."

His eyes pierced people's hearts, full of regret and understanding.

"Whatever you want to do, you don't have to worry about others. But my disciple Liu Bei, who was born in the Han Dynasty, cannot submit to you."

He didn't say any more about the rest.

Mi Yan had already given him the promise he wanted: "Okay, I won't take advantage of his feeble age to kill him for selfish reasons."

Xu Shi's last obsession was satisfied, and Lu Zhi passed away suddenly that night.

Mi Ren personally helped the spirit and buried him.

As for Liu Bei, he took one year's funeral leave to guard Lu Zhi's spirit.

Mi Yan promised.

In the second month of spring, Mi Rian left Qu county and returned to court.

Before leaving, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang called him to the study at home, and asked him carefully, "Zi Su, you are thirty years old this year."

"I said earlier about adopting a stepchild from the family, when will you deal with it?"
