Then, Li Mengxi suggested that Xiangyong go back to eat in batches, while the remaining people continued to share the food.

Therefore, the village warriors went back to eat while sharing food, and the two tasks were completed at the same time.

If we look closely, this is organization and organizational ability.

No matter how bad the rebel army is, it is still an army of hundreds of people, and its organization is much better than the loose servants of a bad government.

It took the government two days to collect the grain, but the rebels only arrived in one day. By evening, there was not a single piece of bamboo left in the basket.

After sitting there all day, I was so busy that I didn’t even take in any water.

Liu Bei beat his shoulders and said calmly, "It's done."

After saying that, he looked up and saw the remaining thirty or twenty people waiting to receive food.

Li Mengxi took a look and saw that there were no bamboo pieces in the basket.

The several stalls next to them had already finished allocating some very long pieces of bamboo.

So, mission accomplished.

"It's done, let's go back!"

Li Mengxi stood up and stretched hard.

Seeing that Li Mengxi seemed to be leaving, the remaining thirty or twenty common people came up and asked cautiously, "Why... why haven't our grains been divided yet?"

Li Mengxi looked at the empty frame again, and there was not a single bamboo slip left.

"No more! The food distribution is over." Li Mengxi suspected that these guys were here to take advantage.

As soon as he finished speaking, the few remaining people became anxious.

"We also handed over the food, why don't you share it with us?"

"Our family paid twelve bushels of food, and I also borrowed grain to pay for it. How could we not have it?"

The rest of the people are talking about it.

Li Mengxi frowned slightly, trying to refute these guys who didn't take enough advantage.

Liu Bei stood up and grabbed Li Mengxi.

Liu Bei bowed his hands to the people and said, "Everyone, please wait for me to take stock."

After that, Liu Bei meditated for a while and waved to Guan Yu, "Second brother, you go to find the county magistrate. He said that there are twenty-three pieces of grain missing. It seems that he accidentally dropped it somewhere. I'd like to trouble the county magistrate to find it."

Guan Yu took the order and left.

Before Liu Bei came back from Guan Yu, Liu Bei comforted the people with kind words and asked them to wait a moment. Even if they couldn't find the missing grain after a while, there would be no shortage of grain that should be distributed to everyone.

The people were finally at peace.

Li Mengxi looked up at Liu Bei, and then at the remaining people. Li Mengxi's eyes went back and forth. He was confused and scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

Li Mengxi couldn't figure out the key point.

Soon, Guan Yu came back. Guan Yu was carrying a tray. The tray was made of fine wood. On the tray, there were a bunch of bamboo slices.

found it?

Li Mengxi scratched his head again and frowned.

Liu Bei took the tray and looked at Li Mengxi who was looking around. Liu Bei smiled at Li Mengxi.

Then, continue to distribute the food to the end.

Liu Bei picked up a bamboo slip from the tray and said, "There are twelve measures of root grain in the east of the city."

"Here!" Among the people, a young man rushed out excitedly.

Finally, Li Mengxi watched as Liu Bei picked up the bamboo pieces in the wooden tray one by one, and then threw them under the table.

When the names of the people were read out one by one on the bamboo slips, and the last bamboo slip was finished, there was just the last common person left.

Just enough, a lot of bamboo slips.

At this point, Li Mengxi felt even more strange.

There are indeed strange places.

For example, Guan Yu went to ask the county magistrate, and asked the county magistrate to look for where the grain was missing.

Then, Guan Yu quickly came back with a tray.

It seems that as soon as he went to the county magistrate, he had prepared a small amount of food.

The truth that Li Mengxi could not discern was that when all the bamboo pieces were taken and there were still twenty or thirty people waiting to distribute the grain, Li Mengxi had a simple mind and just thought, if the grain is thin and there is no more grain, how many grains will be distributed?

The grain is thin, which means that there is a one-to-one correspondence with the number of people who pay the grain.

So when the remaining people complained that they had not yet received their food, Li Mengxi thought about the evil side of human nature. In his previous life, he had seen many old men and women who liked to take advantage. Li Mengxi took it for granted that the remaining people

The common people are trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage.

At the same time, Liu Bei remained calm and glanced at the remaining people, trying hard to think whether he had seen these people come to the front when the food was distributed today.

At this glance, Liu Bei saw a relatively familiar person inside. Others looked unfamiliar and had no identity. He came to receive food or not, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

As soon as Liu Bei saw this familiar person, he was sure that this person had indeed not come to receive food today.

From this, it can be deduced that the remaining group of people have not received any food yet.

But the food is thin, but it’s over.

Liu Bei frowned and had a guess about this.

It may be the work of the county magistrate.

What did Liu Bei do after he made a guess?

Liu Bei did not raise an army to hold him accountable. Instead of leading his troops, he went to the county magistrate aggressively and forced the magistrate to hand over the grain he had hidden.

Instead, he sent Guan Yu to tell him clearly that there was a shortage of food. He made it clear that it had been lost accidentally and asked the county magistrate to help him find it.

Here, it means that it has been lost, and it means that I need help to find it.

This gave the county magistrate a step up and also took care of his face.

The sophistication of human nature and the smoothness of Liu Bei's methods were beyond the ability of Li Mengxi, who was so immature in human nature and sophistication, to see through it.

The shortage of grain is indeed a deliberate trick on the part of the county magistrate, who deliberately hid some of it.

That was last night. The county magistrate was bullied so much by Li Mengxi that he was so angry that he hid some of the food in anger just to disgust Li Mengxi.

Then, when Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to tactfully ask the county magistrate to help find Liang Bo, the county magistrate knew that his tricks had been discovered, and he lost his courage if he denied it forcefully.

Then, both sides knew full well and pretended to be blind.

Liu Bei pretended not to know that it was the county magistrate who had intercepted the grain reserves, and the county magistrate also pretended that Liu Bei did not know that he had intercepted the grain reserves. Then, he pretended to let his servants search for a while in the house, and then returned the grain reserves in full.

The real world is complex.

Li Mengxi plotted against others, and others plotted against Li Mengxi.

It's not a big deal, but the consequences are serious.

There is a saying that when you win a favor, you lose a favor.

If we don't divide the food, that's fine.

However, if Li Mengxi's ideas were followed, most people would have divided the grain, but not the last twenty or thirty households.

Those who received the food may not necessarily be grateful to Liu Bei, but those who did not receive the food must be very angry with Liu Bei.

In vain, there are twenty or thirty more potential enemies.

Fortunately, Liu Bei's skills were extremely high and he eliminated this problem.

Liu Bei and Li Mengxi really worked together flawlessly.

And ahead, Li Mengxi discussed with the county magistrate to take the food from the powerful and divide it into 28 accounts.

Li Mengxi thought that the matter could be done in this way, but who knew that the dog official directly used this clever method of robbery to defraud the people of their food, without any intention of using the powerful.

If Liu Bei, an ancient man from the Han Dynasty, had not warned him at that time, Li Mengxi would have been tricked by the county magistrate.

Li Mengxi seeks heights, Liu Bei seeks practicality, and the coordination between the two of them is impeccable.
