The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 105 Want to do things without money? (fourth more)
On the second day, Lin Chao brought Wang Yuan back home.

The head of the Wang family was very grateful for Lin Chao being able to return home for a concubine, and his attitude was even more humble.The two of them don't address each other as Weng and son-in-law at all, but rather like the relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

But these are not important, Lin Chao is most fortunate that the Patriarch of the Wang family didn't make any trouble because he didn't touch Wang Yuan.

After returning from the Wang family, Lin Chao started to get busy again.

The first to bear the brunt is the big event of Lin Xi's marriage.

With the death of both parents, Lin Chao, the eldest brother, naturally had to take on the responsibility of making arrangements.In this era, the marriage process is cumbersome and complicated, and it takes a long time.

By the time Lin Chao finishes all this work, it will already be years later.

From the first day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the time for rest and mu, which is the holiday of the Han Dynasty.

So, the endless visits to relatives and friends began again.

It's just that Lin Chao didn't expect that Zhao Yun and his wife would be the first to visit.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year period, Zhao Yun also married Zhen's eldest daughter, Zhen Tuo.

In fact, Lin Chao has always felt that the name Zhen Tuo has some meaning, if it is put in later generations...

Ha ha.

Now that Lin Xi and Zhao Yun have become brothers-in-law, under Lin Chao's suggestion, the two of them become brothers, which can be regarded as bringing their relationship closer.

The second person to come to the door was Guan Yu.

He not only brought presents here, but also a scroll of "Spring and Autumn" on bamboo slips, like offering a treasure, inviting Lin Chao to have a look.

Judging from the smooth patina on the top of the bamboo slips, this thing has been with Guan Yu for some years, and Guan Yu is also a treasure on weekdays. If it weren't for Lin Chao's kindness in resolving his doubts, he would not show it to Lin Chao for viewing.

Seeing that Guan Yu was so formal, Lin Chao couldn't dampen his interest, so the two of them sat down and discussed, and began to talk about the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Lin Chao discovered that the "Spring and Autumn" recited by Guan Yu was not the original "Spring and Autumn", but the "Zuo Zhuan" in the three biographies of the Spring and Autumn that later generations called it.

Lin Chao happened to have read this book through, and many people in later generations have commented on it, so the wisdom contained in it is naturally not comparable to Guan Yu alone.

So the more they talked, the more frightened Guan Yu became.Many things that I didn't know much about before, under Lin Chao's guidance, I suddenly got an epiphany!

In fact, he originally wanted to bring "Zuo Zhuan" to explain the meaning of the scriptures he understood with Lin Chao, in order to repay the kindness of Lin Chao's advice last time.

After all, Guan Yunchang has never been ashamed of his actions in his life, and has never owed anyone anything!
But who would have thought that now it would be Lin Chao explaining the whole story to him, just like a teacher teaching a student.

"I dare not forget Zichu's kindness in resolving doubts!"

The two were chatting, and seeing that it was getting late, Guan Yu stood up and saluted Lin Chao very seriously.

With Guan Yu's character, this is already the limit of what he can do.

"You don't have to be so polite, Yun Chang, it's just you and me exchanging, so why talk about clearing up the confusion."

Lin Chao said modestly with a smile, and at the same time took out a booklet from his bosom.

"I can't just look at Yunchang's age in vain, this thing should be exchanged."

This pamphlet was self-made by Lin Chao, and he should take it as a gift in return.

Guan Yu took it solemnly, and after glancing at the contents inside, he looked excited, as if he had found a treasure.

In it, Lin Chao sorted out some military training concepts of later generations, and screened them to maximize the effect.

If it is said that Zhao Yun was taught the abbreviated version, what Guan Yu got now is the full version compiled by Lin Chao these days.

At the end of the booklet, Lin Chao also drew a diagram of the formation with his own hands, and it was accompanied by text explanations.

"Zichu, this formation..."

Under Lin Chao's guidance, Guan Yu also discovered the formation map and asked suspiciously.

"This formation is called Queyue Formation. You are good at formation battles, a certain Guan Yunchang, and it was specially tailored for you."

Lin Chao didn't blush, said without panting, and decisively plagiarized Liu Yu's achievements.

Guan Yu watched it carefully for a while, and was directly shocked by the exquisiteness of the Que Yue formation.

"Zichu, this book is extensive and profound, and I would like to borrow it for a while." Guan Yu asked with some embarrassment, "Don't worry, Zichu, at most one month, and I will return the original book."

Lin Chao shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't bother. If Yun Chang likes it, he can just take it away. It's just the previous method of training soldiers. Don't forget to make a copy and hand it over to Zilong."

"Someone knows."

Guan Yu got up and agreed very solemnly.

After Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xun Chen, Jian Yong and others came to visit one after another. During the period, some big households in Lunu City invited Lin Chao to the banquet, but Lin Chao declined them all.

Only Tian Feng didn't come to visit, but he didn't target Lin Chao, but other people except Liu Bei. Tian Feng didn't visit the house, lying at home all day without knowing what he was doing.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Chao brothers went to visit Liu Bei Yibo together.

This time it was more formal, firstly it was to thank Liu Bei for arranging the marriage for the two brothers.

Secondly, Lin Chao also had some ideas and wanted to report them to Liu Bei.

For the arrival of the two brothers, Liu Bei is naturally happy.

After accepting the gift unceremoniously, Liu Bei waved his sleeves and ordered a banquet for Lin Chao brothers, and at the same time called Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.

In the hall, Liu Bei warmed several jugs of wine, and invited Lin Chao to sit down and drink together.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten days, but Zichu's whole body has lost a lot of weight." Liu Bei raised his glass and took a sip, and said with a smile, "I know that Zichu just got two beautiful girls, but you must also pay attention to restraint. You must not indulge too much, and You hurt yourself."

After all, Liu Bei showed a smile that any man could understand.

This old hooligan drives as soon as he comes up, regardless of whether others can stand it or not.

Lin Chao wanted to refute, but was afraid that Liu Bei would continue to pester him on this topic, so he had to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.

But Liu Bei didn't intend to let him go, and continued to say: "Zichu, the daughter of the Zhen family and the daughter of the Wang family have seen it from afar, and they are both extremely beautiful. Zichu is really envious Shame others."

In Liu Bei's view, brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes.

My brother just bought a new dress, so of course he, Liu, has to comment on it to show his elegant taste.

But these are limited to concubines, like Lin Xi married as a regular wife, Liu Bei didn't mean to make fun of Zhen Dao at all.

Marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous man, taking concubines and seductive women is the common sense of this era.

But Lin Chao couldn't take it anymore, he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xuande, what you said just now doesn't seem to be half a hostess, can we stop talking about this topic?"

"Okay, Zichu won't let me talk, so I won't say anything."

Restraining his smile, Liu Bei said sternly, "But Zichu, what I said just now was definitely not a joke. I once heard Zixu say that you have been weak since you were young, and you need to be more restrained when it comes to sexual intercourse."

Liu Bei didn't want his right arm and right arm to die on a woman's belly one day, so he gave advice.

"Duke Xuande's teaching, I will remember it."

Lin Chaoxin said that Liu Da's ears are too lenient, but thinking of him from the bottom of his heart, he still bowed his hands in agreement.

After several people chatted for a while, Lin Chao clarified his reason for coming.

"Mr. Xuande, the court has decided to leave for Beijing in ten days, and make plans for Duke Xuande in Luoyang first."

Seeing that Lin Chao was talking about serious business, Liu Bei said seriously, "You're in such a hurry, in ten days, maybe Zichu is ready?"

"The court has already been prepared, but there is still a key thing before it can be done."

Liu Bei waved his hand, and said proudly: "Whatever Zichu needs, even if you say it, I will agree to it."

Lin Chao slowly spit out two words.

"money."

The saying that money can turn ghosts around is not a joke.

And the current official atmosphere in Luoyang City is that if you have money, you can travel all the way, but if you don't have money, you can't move a single step.

What's good in the top, what's in the bottom!

The emperor took the lead in selling officials, and one can imagine the atmosphere below.

When he arrived in Luoyang, even if Lin Chao had great abilities, if he didn't have money to open the way, there was a high probability that no one would take care of him.

It's just that when it comes to money, Liu Bei also has some headaches.

Although Zhending got a lot of money and food at the beginning, the number of troops has continued to increase in the past six months, and their own use is a bit dwarfed, let alone some for Lin Chao's other use.

What's more, Tian Feng is in charge of money and food. At this moment when he is not rich, it is almost impossible to get money from him.

"Is there a way for Zichu to get some money?"

Liu Bei thought for a long time, and finally put his expectations on Lin Chao.

Good guy, I came to ask you for money, how come you ask me if I can get money!
Lin Chao was depressed, but he still cupped his hands and smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Xuande. Regarding money matters, the court has some tricks. It's just not honorable, and you need Mr. Xuande's consent."

"What method, let's talk about it."

Liu Bei asked.

As long as it does not violate the righteousness and the bottom line, Liu Bei will definitely support Lin Chao with both hands.There is only one condition, that is, some of the money obtained must be given to him.

After all, these days can't be too miserable, can't they.

"Mr. Xuande, at the beginning of last year, the emperor opened the West Mansion to sell officials, and the annual income was incalculable." Lin Chao laughed and said, "This move is very clever, and Mr. Xuande can emulate it."

Hearing this, Liu Bei just drank the wine in his mouth, and immediately spit it out.

"Zi Chu, don't be joking." Liu Bei shook his head and smiled wryly.

Just kidding, the whole world belongs to the old Liu's family, and the official emperor naturally sells it whenever he wants.

But Liu Bei himself is nothing more than a captain of Zhongshan. He dared to compete with the emperor for business, so he thought he would die too long.

Furthermore, even as the emperor, Liu Hong's act of selling an official was resisted by the gentry. Liu Bei didn't want his reputation to be rotten before he made contributions.

"Mr. Xuande, Chao didn't joke."

Seeing Lin Chao's serious expression, Liu Bei said puzzledly, "Official positions are always appointed by the imperial court, so there is no official function in the hands of a certain person to sell. Even if a certain person can sell it, the imperial court will not recognize it."

Lin Chao did not agree with Liu Bei's statement, but slowly said: "Although Xuande has no official to sell, but he has a filial piety, and these can be exchanged for money."

"Since Zhang Chun's rebellion last year, Zhongshan County has never promoted filial piety." Lin Chao said with a straight face, "Right now Zhang thief has been killed, and the new prefect has not yet taken office. It is the top priority for the country to promote virtuous people. How can we delay it? It means that Duke Xuande can appoint six people as Xiaolian, and let them enter Beijing as Langguan, which can be regarded as sharing the country's worries."

Liu Bei was taken aback by Lin Chao's speech.

What do you mean talking nonsense with your eyes open!
What does it mean to fill one's pocket with confidence!
At this moment, it was vividly displayed on Lin Chao.

Liu Bei was very curious, why Lin Chao was able to speak so righteously for the sake of making money.

Who gave him Lin Zichu's confidence?
