Later, Liu Bei asked each other about various matters, and Li Mengxi answered them one by one, and his answers were fluent.

"The strategy of governing a country, well," Li Mengxi thought briefly, "maintains a country and divides it into different branches such as political system, law, economy, taxation, and official administration."

"Let's talk about the political system first. The Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou Dynasties implemented the system of enfeoffment. Since the Qin Dynasty, when the world was unified, the system of prefectures and counties was used.

I, the Han Dynasty, inherited the Qin system and also used the prefecture and county system."

"Law, as my master said, I am a big man who takes law as his bones and Confucianism as his expression. That's probably the case."

"Economy and taxation are the foundation of the state. The Han Dynasty used salt and iron as official business to collect taxes from the things that the people needed. This initiative was quite brilliant.

In addition to this, there are also Ding tax, land tax, etc.

There is no harm in levying taxes on the people, but the Han Dynasty is now levying excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which makes the people miserable. What's more, the rich are shielding them from paying taxes, while the poor are taxed heavily.

In this way, the rich are more than rich, and the poor are more than poor.

If things go on like this, there will be turmoil like today's Yellow Turban.

A certain person has a law that taxes both the rich and the poor.

The rich are taxed heavily, those who are more than rich are taxed too heavily; the poor are taxed lightly, and those who are more than poor are taxed too lightly.

In this way, the poor can survive, taxes can be collected from the rich, and the country can have enough money."

"Official administration. The Han Dynasty practiced the system of filial piety and incorruptibility, and rural inspectors promoted filial piety and incorruptibility to officials. However, the effectiveness of this method was very low.

I have the imperial examination method. With this method, I can snare all the talented people from all over the world and put them all into my jar!"

The knowledge Li Mengxi learned was complex, and various views that transcended the times came one after another. Liu Bei gained great insights.

This conversation and speculation between Li Mengxi and Liu Bei had been going on since morning, and before they knew it, the sun had risen.

It's noon.

Li Mengxi's mouth went dry and his voice became hoarse, so he had to stop temporarily.

Liu Bei frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Outside the tent, Guan and Zhang were guarding each other like door gods, never leaving the tent.

The discussion in the tent can be heard clearly by Guan Zhang.

After this day, Guan Yu felt lucky that he picked up a pair of brothers on the roadside. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be talented people who helped the world.

Needless to say, Li Mengxi was extremely intelligent and extraordinary.

Li Zhuan, um, a lively and cute little doll.

Compared to Li Mengxi, Li Mengxi's younger brother is really too ordinary.

Li Mengxi wanted to find some water, but seeing Liu Bei looking deep in thought, Li Mengxi couldn't be bothered.

After a long time, Liu Bei came back to his senses.

Seeing the bright white light outside the tent, I knew in my heart that it was getting late.

"Let's go, Meng Xi," Liu Bei stood up and held Li Meng Xi's hand affectionately with a smile on his face, "I will confirm my position today in front of the three armies."

Li Mengxi was still confused, so he was pulled out of the tent by Liu Bei.

"Second brother, third brother, gather the three armies." Liu Bei ordered in a deep voice.

"Nuo!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked confused, clasped their fists and left.

There are not many rebel soldiers, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu knew what they were going to do, so they divided themselves into two groups and ordered their men to go to the countryside to be brave, wear armor and carry troops. Guan and Zhang were even more neatly dressed, and they took care of themselves for a while.

The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became solemn, and Li Mengxi also felt a slight sense of seriousness.

Li Mengxi had nothing to wear, and Liu Bei had to find all his clothes and shoes.

The cloak was brought and Liu Bei tied it for Li Mengxi with his own hands.

Seeing that Li Mengxi's hair was disheveled, Liu Bei untied the twine and asked his own soldiers to fetch water. He dipped his hands in the water and combed his hair with his fingers, and meticulously helped Li Mengxi take care of his hair.

Li Mengxi felt a little embarrassed, it was just like putting on makeup.

After taking care of his hair, Liu Bei took a step back and looked Li Mengxi up and down.

Well, my hair is no longer messy, but my face and hands are a little dirty.

Li Mengxi felt uncomfortable being looked at by Liu Bei.

"Meng Xi, wash your face." Liu Bei pulled out the water bottle.

"Oh!" Li Mengxi hurriedly stretched out his hand, took the water with his hand, and then wiped his face.

With such seriousness, how could Li Mengxi feel so damned about getting married to him?

By the time Li Mengxi finished taking care of things, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already led their troops in formation.

"Let's go." Liu Bei pulled Li Mengxi and moved forward steadily.

The country warriors were arranged on both sides, standing opposite each other, with their guns raised like a forest. The country warriors stood upright.

Walking among them, Li Mengxi wanted to see what was going on around him, but he restrained himself from looking around.

At this important moment, it would be disrespectful to look left and right.

Li Mengxi was still young and could not walk fast. Taking care of Li Mengxi's steps, Liu Bei kept his steps very small.

Just like that, Liu Bei took Li Mengxi's hand and walked slowly to the front of the formation.

When they arrived at the formation, the two troops of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were standing opposite each other, turned ninety degrees with a crash and turned towards Li Mengxi and Liu Bei.

In front of the formation, there was a little man.

This short one was familiar to Li Mengxi. It was the one in Liu Bei's main tent.

"Meng Xi, please!" Liu Bei extended his hand to invite him.

If this happened, if there was a high platform for conferring generals, Liu Bei must have asked Li Mengxi to ascend to the high platform for conferring generals first.

Such actions show that Liu Bei attaches great importance to Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi was not timid at all, he raised his feet and climbed onto the low table.

Liu Bei followed closely behind.

The shorter one stood still and Liu Bei looked down.

In front of the formation, Guan Yu is on the left, wearing fine fish-scale armor, holding a blue dragon and the moon, with a solemn expression.

On the right side of the formation, Zhang Fei is wearing sleeve armor, holding a snake spear eight feet tall in his hand, with the tail of the spear thrust into the ground and the spear body straight.

Behind Guan and Zhang, there are flag bearers holding gun flags to lead the team.

Except for the Xiang Yong who was guarding the prisoners, everyone in the formation was here.

Although the current force is not yet established, there are hundreds of local braves, incomplete armor, and uneven weapons, but the array is in order.

Liu Bei glanced across the field.

"Our rebel army has won several great victories since it started in Zhuojun.

I was also lucky enough to meet Li Mengxi. Although Mengxi was young, he had outstanding strategies, knew the general trend, and understood the strategies of governing the country. His intelligence was superior to others, and could not be matched by others.

How can such an outstanding talent be buried?

Now I want to worship Li Mengxi as my military advisor to help me manage military affairs. In the future, when all the troops see him, they must not lose their courtesy when they see my three brothers."

As he said this, Liu Bei took off the sword from his waist and said, "I will give you this sword as a token of honor. Meng Xi will accept it."

After saying that, Liu Bei turned around, holding the sword in his hand, and presented it to Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi knew what was going on and immediately knelt down on one knee and took the sword with both hands.

With the sword in hand, Li Mengxi stood up with the sword and faced the troops. He wanted to hold the sword high, but it was too heavy to pick up, so he had to rest it on a low table.

"Brothers, thanks to Duke Xuande's great love, Meng Xi temporarily takes charge of the position of military advisor.

Meng Xi was young, so he still wanted to address you all as elders. He also hoped that his brothers in the army would help him more in the future, but if there was something wrong with him, he still forgot to teach him.

That is to say, when you join the army, the people in our army should be as close as brothers.

We brothers, if we work together as one, great things will be accomplished!"

"Okay!" Liu Bei cheered loudly, "If we work together as one, great things can be accomplished!"

Liu Bei raised his hand and took the lead in shouting.

In the formation, all the troops touched the ground with their spears, struck their shields with their swords, and shouted in unison, "Working together, great things can be accomplished!"

“Working together, great things can be accomplished!”

Suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, a strong wind blew up, and the flags were blown loudly.

His cloak fluttered and flew.

At this time when heaven and earth were working together, Li Mengxi was excited for a moment.

Suddenly I saw my younger brother alone at the end of the formation, looking at him eagerly, but he didn't dare to think about it.
