The construction projects of the Prince's Palace and the Prince's Palace have just started.
At present, Lao Liu and Liu Chan still live in Da Sima Mansion, which was the former General Zuo Mansion.
It's night at Liu Chan's Villa.
He deliberately didn't drink much, not only because he was planning the day, but also because he had something important to do tonight, and the sooner he could deal with it, the better.
Manager Zhao, who had received the news early in the morning, was standing quietly at the door of the house.
Seeing Liu Chan returning, he quickly stepped forward: "Prince."
"You've been waiting for a long time, thank you for your hard work."
Manager Zhao smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Prince? This is my duty as a subordinate, so why bother?"
Liu Chan nodded: "Come in and talk."
The two entered the room, Liu Chan sat cross-legged on the couch, and Manager Zhao stood by his side.
Manager Zhao came here so early, and now he admires Liu Chan's vision to the point of admiration.
Jingzhou actually started fighting!
Liu Chan had not allowed him to run business in Jingzhou earlier, leaving only shops, goods and people to deliver messages, but withdrew all the caravans.
If we had not withdrawn early, regardless of whether there would be any danger, the troops would have been in chaos, and our earnings would have been greatly reduced, and we might even have been unable to make ends meet.
As a businessman, Guanshi Zhao has a talent for business, but basically knows nothing about politics and military affairs.
In his eyes, what is the difference between Liu Chan's prediction and his prediction?
Liu Chan took a roll of cloth, wrote a letter, put it in a bag and handed it to him: "You find a reliable literate person and bring some guards, and I will give you ten more soldiers to help me deliver a message to Jiangdong. .”
"Yes." Manager Zhao took the brocade bag with both hands, put it carefully into his sleeves, and said, "I wonder who the prince wants to send this letter to?"
Afterwards, Liu Chan took the map in the room and drew a small circle with his finger in the mountains at the junction of Lujiang County and Danyang County.
"Go to this area, find a man named Chai Rong, and give the letter to him."
"Yes." Manager Zhao didn't care what Liu Chan wanted to do, he just needed to get things done.
It was the same when he was under the Mi family.
This is his greatest advantage, and it is also the reason why Liu Chan specially recruited him and trusted him so much.
"It's just...the mountains and rivers are high here, but I don't know when I can find Chai Rong?"
Liu Chan said with a smile: "If you tell them to bring more money and food, pretend to be a small caravan, and then use the banner of the Soochow government, people will come looking for them."
"yes."
As for whether Chai Rong and others can take root there, Liu Chan feels that there is still great hope.
Chai Rong was not stupid, and he taught him some introductory knowledge on military training and guerrilla fighting.
You can't just have a few big village leaders go there with thousands of people, and have them wiped out so quickly after they arrive in the mountains, right?
Of course, no matter how low the risk is, there is still some risk. This is a plan designed by chance. If something goes wrong... Liu Chan is also mentally prepared that the people he sent will never come back.
Nothing in this world is 100% certain.
Could Yu Jin have thought that he was about to turn into a goldfish?
…
After the excitement of welcoming Master Wang, Chengdu temporarily returned to a peaceful life.
After all, Wei Yan was building fortifications and actively deploying defenses in Hanzhong, and Guan Yu was besieging Xiangfan. The situation looked good and there was nothing to worry about.
Monk Lao Liu wrote a letter to Fa Zheng and was busy handing over major government affairs from Zhuge Liang every day.
During this period, Liu Chan, who had just ascended the throne as prince, had to face the hellish study plan arranged by Lao Liu.
He also realized that being a prince was much busier than being a young master before...
The original course has almost doubled.
Get up early in the morning to study scriptures with Yi Ji. This is also Liu Chan's most troublesome course of the day.
However, in order to escape smoothly later and confuse Lao Liu and Zhuge Liang, Prince Liu showed amazing patience at this time.
Yi Ji held the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Liu Chan in front of him in a daze: "Has the prince studied this article in private?"
Liu Chan shook his head: "No."
"Then... why did you master this scripture so quickly?" Yi Ji couldn't believe it. Is this the same Liu Chan who often dozed off and deserted?
"Since Gu is a prince, he should be more attentive. As for this scripture... Master Yi has spoken about it, so Gu will naturally remember it."
In the past, he had no interest in learning. He really had to memorize things by rote. With his current memory, he would never forget anything he said.
It's easy to listen to it once and remember it for a day.

[Iraqi favorability is 60, Confucian classics talent +10×2, Oratory talent +5×2]
【……】
[The talent of Confucian classics has been improved to: the talent is acceptable]
[Current favorability: 75]
Yi Ji was really moved this time, almost bursting into tears.
In the past, Liu Bei asked him to teach Liu Chan Confucian classics, and Kong Ming taught Liu Chan political strategy and military affairs.
Seeing Liu Chan's political vision and military management skills improving day by day, only his level of Confucian classics has not improved...
Every time Liu Bei used to blame him, the blame was placed on Liu Chan. Doesn't it mean that Yi Ji Bo was incompetent?
It's better now, the prince finally got the idea...
"No, I have to report the good news to the king immediately!"
…
After the lunch break, it was Uncle Zhuge's turn to teach him.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was probably in the most leisurely period since he came out of the cottage.
The burden on him was light, so he spent a lot of his free time on copying books and educating Liu Chan.
There is no need to put on any pretense in the afternoon class. Liu Chan usually studies attentively.
Zhuge Liang was used to his growth and didn't see anything wrong.
[Family harmony trigger]
[Liu Bei's favorability +2]
[Current favorability: 59]
Um?
"What's wrong with the old man? How come you're still trying to conquer it yourself?"
Liu Chan didn't think much about it, it was a good thing anyway.
After the afternoon lectures, and into the evening, it was Liu Chan's activity time.
But just when he wanted to go to the military camp to see how Li Er and others were being treated for their injuries, he met Lao Liu.
"Father."
"Well, how was your study today?" Lao Liu's poker face was not as stiff as before.
"My son, I have carefully memorized everything I learned today."
Old Liu nodded and suddenly said: "As a father, I haven't seen how good you are in martial arts for a long time. Please follow me to the back mountain to practice."
"yes."
Liu Chan didn't know yet that Yi Ji, who was originally depressed because of his academic problems and loved to quarrel with others when he spoke, was in a good mood today.
After class, I ran to Lao Liu and praised Liu Chan.
Lao Liu was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had praised the wrong person.
On a whim, Lao Liu suddenly lamented that he had been busy fighting these years and didn't pay enough attention to Liu Chan, which was why he acted like this.
Old Liu took Liu Chan and a group of guards to the back mountain.
This is the place where Liu Chan used to practice shooting and martial arts, and Guan Yinping would come here from time to time.
At this time, she and the Zhang sisters were also here.
After the victory in Hanzhong, they learned that Zhang Fei would be stationed in Langzhong, and they would be separated soon. The three of them were a little reluctant to leave, so they gathered here.
"Your Majesty." The three sisters saluted Liu Bei, and Old Liu responded with a smile.
Lao Liu was quite satisfied with these girls from his brothers' families.
The third brother intended to marry the eldest girl to Liu Chan. Although Lao Liu did not explicitly agree, he felt that they were a good match and it would be good to marry him.
"The king and the prince still have something to do, so I'll leave first." After Zhang Xingcai saluted, he left with his sisters.
He was just talking to Liu Bei, but his eyes were looking at Liu Chan, as if he had a thousand words to say.
No matter how reluctant she was to give up, she also knew that good men were everywhere, and Liu Chan had just ascended to the throne of prince, so she didn't want to disturb him too much.
"It's okay. I'm just here to see the prince's martial arts. You can stay here. We can go back together later."
Old Liu is so old, and his wife (who was forced to change her due to the high death rate) has changed countless times. Is there anything that can't be seen?
The three sisters were immediately overjoyed. After bowing and thanking them, they stood aside obediently.
As soon as Old Liu waved, a guard handed Liu Chan two swords: "You will practice the swordsmanship taught by your father."
Liu Chan took it as instructed and danced the routine again.
Old Liu nodded first, then twirled his beard and said: "It's quite satisfactory. Although it's not bad, it can't be said to be superb. I still need to give you some guidance from my father."
Liu Chan's swordsmanship was only at the level of [fairly talented]. What's more important was that after Old Liu taught him the routine once, he didn't teach him much anymore!
Unlike Liu Feng, when Liu Bei was wasting his time in Jingzhou in his early years, he personally taught Liu Feng how to use swordsmanship.
The current level is due to the fighting experience accumulated in the past few years.
Later, Lao Liu asked Liu Chan to practice archery again, and this time at least he was much better than swordsmanship.
His archery skills are also "fairly talented", but practice makes perfect in archery. After years of practice, his accuracy at shooting fixed targets is not bad.
Talent determines the upper limit and growth rate, but strength must be improved through one's own efforts.

Lao Liu nodded with satisfaction: "A Dou is good at shooting now and has made great progress."
[Zhang Xingcai’s favorability +1]
[Guan Yinping’s favorability +1]
[Zhang Xingwan’s favorability +1]
Although the favorability of several people has increased, Liu Chan is a little depressed, why are you taking the test on something that I am not good at?
"My father has given me the award. Although my son is not a good at archery, he dare not neglect his practice."
Old Liu heard the implication of Liu Chan's words and raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you good at?"
After saying this, he felt a little guilty.
After years of fighting, now that his son is so old, he doesn't even know what his son is good at.
"I fight with rifles and spears with infantry, and I fight with horses and spears. I have made some gains in recent years."
