After a new rain, green wheat seedlings emerged from the soil, dewdrops hung on the pointed buds, and the whole field was full of vitality.

Three people rode their horses along the official road, one of them had ears and shoulders, one had a face like red dates, and the other had a leopard head and eyes. They were the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang who had been invited to visit Xiapi since Xiaopei.

Since the spring plowing process, Chen Mang has organized people to rebuild Xuzhou, and also sent people to send letters to invite Liu Bei to Xia Pi as a guest.

One of these two people dared to invite them, and the other dared to come. After finishing the official duties at hand, Liu Bei immediately set off with two sworn brothers and came to Xia Pi.

Seeing the Xia Pi city gate in sight, Liu Bei and the other two slowly slowed down.

Guan Yu sighed and said in a complicated mood: "There are large crops planted outside this city. If the enemy attacks during the autumn harvest, wouldn't it be a waste of money for others? It seems that Chen Mang really doesn't take us seriously."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "I have said that this guy is not a son. When I enter the city, I will definitely give him some color!"

Liu Bei advised: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Although Chen Mang underestimated my brother, this is his home court. We come far away as a guest, so how can we make things difficult for our master?"

Zhang Fei nodded in a piss, and soon the three of them rode their horses to the city gate.

Chen Mang received the notice early and came to the door to wait. When he saw the three of them coming, he stood up from the recliner and bowed from a distance: "I have heard of the name of Duke Xuande for a long time. When I saw him today, I am indeed very charming!"

Liu Bei smiled and dismounted and replied: "Previously, thanking Mr. Chen Gaoyi, he gave him a treasure book and a treasure of farming books, so that the people under Bei could complete the spring plowing in time. For the people, thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Mang nodded with a smile, then looked at the two generals beside him, with bright eyes and said, "These two are General Yun Chang and General Yide. I grew up listening to the heroic deeds of the two, and I finally saw them today."

Hearing Chen Mang's praise, Zhang Fei, who had a stern face, immediately smiled and said proudly: "Oh? What have you heard of me?"

Chen Mang was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that the story of Zhang Fei killing Dangyang Bridge had not yet begun. He couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Then he said with admiration: "When the general was selling pork in Zhuo County, there was a bully in the local street, bullying men and women doing all kinds of evil, and his name was Lu Zhishen."

"That day Lu Zhishen came to the General's butcher shop and asked for ten kilograms of lean meat to make sauce, not a trace of fat. He also asked for ten kilograms of fat to make sauce, not a trace of thinness. He also wanted ten kilograms of inch of gold cartilage, and he also wanted to chop it into sauce, not a trace of meat left on it."

"The general saw that he was taking you for fun, and beat him away with three punches and two kicks. From then on, Lu Zhishen was afraid of the general's reputation and ran away to Erlong Mountain to hide. He would never dare to return to Zhuo County again. The general's elimination of harm to the people has long been spread and has been widely praised by the people of the world!"

Zhang Fei looked at Chen Mang with a serious look in front of him, and felt a little confused.

Is this talking about him? Why does he have no impression of him at all...

Well, I have done too much to eliminate harm to the people, maybe I have forgotten it myself.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then raised his face and laughed: "It turns out that Zhang Yide, a man from Yan, already has such a big name, hahaha..."

Chen Mang looked at Zhang Fei, who claimed to be a eunuch, and felt that he and Lu Shan should have some common topics. He waved: "Mr. Lu, you are responsible for entertaining the three generals these days, and you must not neglect them."

Lu Shan bowed with a sharp voice: "Our family will receive the order!"

Liu Bei looked at the eunuch in front of him in surprise, quickly withdrew his gaze and followed Chen Mang into the city.

At this time, Xia Pi and Lu Bu had a total change during their rule.

The people no longer had yellow faces and muscles, and they were worried about the next meal all day long. The city was no longer dead, and there was a sense of vitality everywhere.

The market was very lively, with hawkers shouting endlessly, pedestrians were bustling, and some daily necessities were being purchased.

Looking at the lively market, Liu Bei nodded slightly and suddenly found that the people were buying things that were not copper coins, but paper with patterns printed on them. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Chen, what is the one used in the hands of the people to replace copper coins?"

Chen Mang smiled and said, "Oh, this is a paper currency. It takes time and effort to cast copper coins, and it also consumes a lot of copper. So I thought of a way to use it instead of copper coins. Now, under my jurisdiction, paper currency and copper coins run side by side."

Liu Bei said novelly: "You are really whimsical. Do the people agree with this banknote? If one day the banknotes cannot be bought, what should the people do?"

Chen Mang said, "I have brought the major aristocratic families under my rule as a security guard. If I can't buy anything from the banknotes, the people can take the banknotes to the major aristocratic families to exchange copper coins. If they don't exchange them, I will confiscate their mortgaged property and share with the people's 37... Cough cough cough, the losses of the people will be jointly borne by me and the major aristocratic families!"

Liu Bei was impressed by Chen Mang's wonderful ideas and thought about the situation in his territory. He felt that he did not have the conditions like Chen Mang. He just felt like he was returning empty-handed in Baoshan, and he was helpless in his heart.

When he arrived at the hall, Chen Mang asked someone to prepare a banquet to entertain them.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhang Fei had already drunk his tongue and pulled Zilong and ran outside to fall.

Guan Yu had a blushing face, and his eyes were still squinting, but he didn't know whether he was drunk or not.

Chen Mang brought the wine glass to Liu Bei and sat down, saying, "Xuande has been around for a long time and will know that the heroes of the world are here. Please tell me about it."

Liu Bei said in a drunken eye: "Yuan Shao, Hebei, has four generations and three masters, and is now in Jizhou. There are many subordinates who can do things. Can they be heroes?"

Chen Mang smiled and said, "Shao's seductive and timid nature, he likes to make plans without decisions, cherishes his life when doing big things, and forgets his life when seeing small profits. He is not a hero."

Xuan Dedao: "There is a man named Bajun, who is Weizhen Jiuzhou. Can Liu Jingsheng be a hero?"

"Liu Biao's name is not true, and he is not a hero."

"There is a man with strong spirit. The leader of Jiangdong - Sun Bofu is a hero?"

"Sun Ce is not a hero in his father's name."

"Can Liu Jiyu in Yizhou be a hero?"

"Although Liu Zhang is a royal family, he is a dog guarding the household, so why is he a hero!"

The two of them asked and answered each other. Liu Bei said it in a hurry and was denied by Chen Mang, frowned and said, "According to the law, who can be called a hero in the world?"

Chen Mang picked up the wine glass and said, "Today, only the envoys are the king and Cao Cao! Cao Cao is the capable minister who governs the world and the hero in troubled times - he should have a son like Cao Mengde!"

"puff!"

Liu Bei squirted out a sip of wine and coughed, "Cough cough, if Cao Mengde heard what you said, I'm afraid you'll come and recruit troops to capture Xia Pi immediately! Hahaha..."

Seeing that Liu Bei was not scared away from his chopsticks, but laughed loudly, Chen Mang couldn't help but frown, and looked at himself and found that the spirit of kingly domineering should not be his own problem. He raised his face and looked at Liu Bei quietly.
