While everyone was drinking and drinking, Zhang Fei also took advantage of his drunkenness to say what he was holding in his heart.
"Everyone, since we have captured Runan City, how should we divide it equally? We can't split Runan City in two from the middle."
As soon as Zhang Fei said this, everyone present fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Cheng Yu said quietly: "It is naturally impossible to divide Runan City into two, but I guess General Liu also doesn't like some of the surrounding counties."
"What do you mean by Shishi?" Liu Bei asked with some expectation. After all, he had done a lot to attack Runan, so he couldn't just get some rags.
Xun Yu carefully observed the expressions of Liu, Guan, and Zhang and said: "General Liu, Runan has been severely damaged by the war, so Runan will not be handed over to you. After my lord captures Chen and Liang, he will It will be handed over to the general, so that if Chen Deng captures Guangling, the general's territory can be connected with Xuzhou."
After Liu Bei heard this, while he was thinking, Guo Ming suddenly said: "General Liu, in addition to this, we will also give you some food. In this way, you will not suffer at all."
Guo Ming's words also made Xun Yu and Cheng Yu a little dissatisfied, because Cao Cao had told them before coming that they must negotiate with Liu Bei and not let themselves suffer.
When Liu Bei heard what Guo Ming had said, he had no choice but to agree, and the atmosphere of the banquet began to become colder. Even Zhang Fei noticed something was wrong and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Everyone should eat and drink. drink."
At the end of the banquet, both Cheng Yu and Xun Yu found Guo Ming. Guo Ming looked at the two men with gloomy faces and said helplessly: "You two, don't look at me like that. I know the master What is the purpose of the government sending you here, but I won’t suffer any loss.”
Hearing this, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu looked at each other and said nothing more, because both of them already knew that Guo Ming had an idea in mind and planned to have a good sleep.
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Guo Ming murmured with a slightly reproachful tone: "What are you doing? You are looking for me with a dead look on your face when you have nothing to do."
The next morning, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were woken up by a loud noise. Even though they drank a lot last night, they were still woken up by the loud noise.
The two of them put on their casual clothes with some displeasure and followed the sound. They saw Guo Ming was controlling the excavator brigade to clean up the garbage, while the common people were repairing the city wall.
The reason why the number of ordinary people repairing the city wall is large is because Guo Ming promised to give those who came to repair the city wall a bag of food and some belongings, and now with the help of excavators, Runan will be restored very quickly.
What's more, if there is such a good thing, how many people are not willing to do it.
As for Guo Ming, he was just like the common people, wearing ordinary clothes and repairing the city wall with his own hands. If Xun Yu hadn't seen Guo Ming before, they wouldn't have recognized him.
Even Li Dian, whose left leg injury had not yet healed in the previous battle, was there to help.
Guo Ming also saw Xun Yu and Cheng Yu at this moment, and shouted to them from above: "Master Xun! Master Cheng! Come and help me, I can't do it alone."
When Xun and Yu heard this, they seemed to have not heard anything. They turned away and went back to rest.
Guo Ming looked at the two people's retreating figures, and Guo Ming muttered to himself: "These two old lazy bears."
Just when Guo Mingqian was in full swing, the people who had died at home also gathered at this moment.
The reason why Guo Ming summoned them was naturally because he wanted to cremate the bodies of the deceased in their homes.
But in ancient times, people generally believed that the body was the container of the soul, and the soul was sacred and inviolable, so the body naturally could not be burned, but needed to be buried.
As for burial, this can preserve the body of the deceased and obtain the protection of the earth god.
As for what Guo Ming wants to do, it is to carry out cremation, because when these corpses gather, plague will definitely occur, so cremation must be carried out, firstly, it can reduce the chance of plague, and secondly, it can reduce the use of land, because Nowadays, we need to develop land vigorously and increase production, so there is no land for burial.
As a result, Guo Ming's idea received strong opposition from everyone. Guo Ming looked at the angry guys below. If he hadn't been given pensions to them in the first place, he would have been beaten to death by them now. die.
After calming their emotions, Guo Ming also began to explain: "Fellow folks, I guarantee that an ancestral hall can be built in Runan City, and our relatives can live in it forever."
After that, Guo Ming took out a very exquisitely crafted urn and displayed it in front of everyone. This was also opened by his creation system not long ago.
Guo Ming took it and said solemnly: "Everyone, this box is called the Soul Locking Box. It can preserve the souls of the deceased and allow them to be buried. I will also personally perform rituals to save their souls!"
After hearing this, everyone no longer resisted, because they themselves also understood that once they came into contact with the corpse, the plague would definitely kill them alive, so they compromised.
After seeing everyone's agreement, Guo Ming opened a cremation department and began to cremate the corpses. Then Guo Ming personally put on protective clothing and began to disinfect every corpse pile in the city with alcohol.
Guo Ming also had notices posted everywhere in the city, stating that he would reward farming and weaving, asking people to seize the time to restore farmland, and use the land of the fleeing nobles as rewards for farming and weaving to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for production.
While Guo Ming was restoring Runan City in full swing, Ji Ling and Liu Xun became irritable after receiving orders from Yuan Shu.
Because they also knew that if the two of them kept going back, Yuan Shu's temper would definitely cut off their heads.
After some discussion, the two decided to take a gamble. Taking advantage of Guo Ming and others' unsteady foothold, they summoned local guerrillas and some local mountain bandits to recapture Runan City. This might You can also get a lot of rewards.
Therefore, the two of them specially dressed up and came to Runan City to inquire about the situation. They saw that the excavators and many soldiers were repairing the city wall, and the originally damaged city wall had begun to take shape.
