The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 368 The way of people's livelihood is farming first

In the eyes of Guo Jia and others, the store in front of them is just a small person.A small person should have the posture of a small person, just like the ingratiating appearance of the shopkeeper before, it is very in line with his status.

But as soon as Zhang Ji was mentioned, the store seemed to be a different person, and even took out the horseshoe gold, as if if you dare to speak ill of Zhang Xiancheng, I will drive you out, which made Guo Jia a little Puzzled and curious.

Although Guo Jia was dissolute, he never bullied others, and he didn't get angry when he heard the words. He just smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't mean anything malicious. It's just that the Qihuang Taoism is profound. I heard you say that Zhang Zhongjing is a master, so I have doubts."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression softened a little, and he smiled again, saying: "Your Majesty's words are very true, the way of Qi and Huang is indeed profound, but Mr. Zhang is very human, and the villain calls him the Holy Hand of Qi and Huang, which is worthy of his name."

"Oh?" Guo Jia picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, then smiled with great interest, "Why do you dare to ask?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Mr. Zhang studied medical books hard since he was a child, visited good doctors to learn medical skills, and began to sit in the court for consultations a few years ago. Even a villain like the leader of Guizhou treats everyone equally and does not take any money. Dare I ask you, how is it?" Can benevolent medical skills be called Qihuang sages?"

"This……"

Guo Jia was at a loss for words when asked the right question about the shopkeeper.

Even Jia Xu and Ju Shou next to him were moved.

As an official in the county, he is willing to go out of his way to treat diseases for the common people for free, which is naturally a rare and precious virtue!

Compared with Zhang Ji's medical skills, the two admired Zhang Ji's benevolence more.

Although neither of them is a good person and has no benevolence, this does not prevent them from admiring the true benevolence and righteousness.

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, then finally stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed his hands to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, if it is true as you said, Zhang Xiancheng is indeed a master of Qihuang, and it was someone who made a slip of the tongue just now, please forgive me!"

How could the shopkeeper accept this gift from him, he waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem..."

Seeing that it was almost noon, the number of customers in the wine shop gradually increased, Lin Chao couldn't continue to bother the shop owner, so he waved him to go to his own business.

After the shopkeeper left, Lin Chaochong said with a smile, "Gongyu, Zhang Ji is like this, I think you already have the answer in your heart."

"Ha ha……"

Ju Shou smiled lightly, his eyes full of longing.

"I don't want a small county magistrate to have such a benevolent heart and benevolence. I want to see it."

Guo Jia also echoed: "What Gong Yu said is very true. Although these people are not well-known, they are worth our time to meet."

"Not famous?" Lin Chao sneered at Guo Jia, "That's because you, Guo Fengxiao, are ignorant."

Guo Jia: "..."

Lin Chao explained: "In the past, He Boqiu, a famous scholar in Nanyang, once said to Zhang Zhongjing: If you use the essence of thinking but not the rhyme, you will be a good doctor in the future."

He Boqiu is He Yong, who is also a famous person in the world, with great loyalty and good at criticizing people.Even he said that Zhang Ji will be a good doctor in the future, which shows Zhang Ji's high medical skills.

Hearing Lin Chao laughing at Guo Jia, Ju Shou shook his head and smiled, but asked again: "Zi Chu, Zhang Zhongjing is a benevolent man, it can be seen that his talent is not in the copybook, so I still don't understand why I asked you to come in person Come to earn his... invitation."

Jushou's question was right on point.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Chao to explain to him what the medical system was.The benefits of this thing can only be seen after the construction is complete.

So Lin Chao rolled his eyes, and said earnestly, "Actually, I did all this for the sake of my filial piety!"

Guo Jia:? ? ?
What does this guy Lin Zichu mean? Why is he getting involved with someone again for no reason!

Not only him, but even Jushou was puzzled.

Jia Xu next to him continued to bury his head in eating meat, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Lin Chao ignored him, but continued to sigh: "I don't know anything about you. At the beginning of this year, a certain person was entrusted by Zhuge Jungong, the prime minister of Taishan County, to take care of his children."

Hearing this, Ju Shou nodded numbly, but the doubt in his eyes didn't understand at all.

What does this have to do with him, Guo Fengxiao?
Lin Chao sighed again: "I am entrusted by others, so I naturally want to be loyal to others. Therefore, I treat Duke Gong's children as if they were my nephews. After returning to Xuzhou this year, Feng Xiao will marry Duke Gong. The eldest daughter..."

Hearing this, Guo Jia's face changed, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Lin Zichu, you are enough!
Sure enough, Lin Chao had already uttered the next sentence before Guo Jia could stop him.

"Husband and wife are one body. A certain man treats the prince and eldest daughter like his own daughter, so he naturally treats filial piety like a parent and child." Lin Chao said righteously, "But you and I know that filial piety has never been ruled. Examination, unrestrained, a very heartbroken, worried that he would not have a holiday, so he came to Nieyang all the way, just to invite Zhang Zhongjing back to Xuzhou, to treat Fengxiao's body at any time.

Just imagine, if he, Guo Fengxiao, dies of illness at an early age, and the eldest daughter of Duke Gonggong becomes a widow, how will he be worthy of Duke Gonggong's entrustment! "

This passage is polite and polite, and it almost portrays myself as a moral gentleman, the kind who can entrust his wife and son.Lin Chao secretly praised himself in his heart.

However, Guo Jia has the urge to scold her!

Lin Zichu, you are too deceitful!
After talking for a long time, I just want to take advantage of someone, right?

After hearing Lin Chao's answer, Ju Shou was stunned. He turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and then at Lin Chao who was smiling all over his face. He didn't know what to say...

It has to be said that Lin Chao once again broke the lower limit of his cognition of shamelessness.

……

After a few people drank some wine and ate some side dishes, they left the restaurant satisfied and drunk.

Lin Chao and his party walked around the market in the city again. They seemed to be casual, but in fact they observed the living conditions of the people in the city through the price of goods, and at the same time made an analogy with the life of the people in Xuzhou.

After all, Nanyang is the economic center of the Han Dynasty, and the living conditions here can often be used as an indicator to measure the gap between other places and here.

Although most markets in this era adopted the method of bartering, in Nieyang City, most of the people took copper coins to buy supplies.

At the beginning of the year, Dong Zhuo carried out a currency reform in order to collect money.The five baht coins that have been in circulation in the Han Dynasty were cast into smaller ones, and even copper items such as bronze men and bronze horses in the palace were melted by him to make money.

Old Dong thought that this would increase his wealth, but Mr. Dong has been a soldier all his life. Although he is good at fighting, he is really an idiot when it comes to economics.

But it's not his fault, after all, even an old silver coin like Li Ru didn't know anything about it, and didn't even try to dissuade him.

Coins are nothing more than a form of circulation, a concrete manifestation of financial power.When the imperial court minted coins, it was because the imperial court's credibility was valuable, not because the coins themselves were valuable.

Without this credibility, coins are worthless.

Of course, the metal itself is also of great value.

It's just that when the productivity of the world remains the same and the amount of materials remains the same, the copper coins have increased...

This is like a lighthouse country in the later generations who started to print money crazily without money. There is only one result, that is, the depreciation of coins and the soaring prices.

After this round of operations, not only did Mr. Dong's money not increase, but because of the chaotic prices, the copper coins lost their own purchases, and even hindered the circulation.

Of course, Mr. Dong's operation didn't last long, so although Nanyang is only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang, it hasn't been greatly affected.

After walking around for a long time, Lin Chao finally had a rough understanding of the living conditions of the people in Nieyang, and he was also thinking about how to build an economic system that would not easily collapse after returning to Xuzhou this time.

However, this kind of thing is not something that can be figured out in one click. It requires a lot of practice, trial and error, and even a long time to finally derive an economic system suitable for this era.

As for now, the thoughts in Lin Chao's mind are just thoughts.

When the sun was westward and it was almost dusk, Lin Chao and his party came out of the market, ready to return to the station.

It was almost the curfew time, and the pedestrians on the street gradually became rarer, just in twos and threes, and they were all in a hurry.

On the way back to the post station, Lin Chao recalled the idea of ​​economic construction in his mind before, and said with a smile: "What do you think is the most important thing for people's livelihood?"

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, but none of them easily gave their answers.

After a day of shopping, they certainly understood why Lin Chao asked this question, and they also knew what Lin Chao wanted to do.

It's just...the three of them are not good at this, so no one wants to be the first to speak. If something is wrong, it will make others laugh.

Jia Xu came out of the area around him, there was only wind and sand in Liangzhou, so where did the economy come from?

Guo Jia, on the other hand, has inherited his family education since he was a child. He has studied the law and is good at making decisions, but he doesn't know anything about the way of people's livelihood.

Jushou is naturally knowledgeable, but his aspirations are not here, so what he learns from books is really just from books, and he has no own opinions at all.

Dropping a bookbag in front of Lin Chao, who likes to play with metaphors the most...he is not so stupid yet.

Seeing that the three of them didn't answer, Lin Chao smiled, and at the same time slowed down his pace, and asked again: "Why, the three of you are all geniuses in this world, with a mere way of life for the people, but no good words?"

The aggressive general method has always been only effective against Guo Jia, just like a military order is only effective against Ma Di.But in the face of this headache, even Guo Jia was not stimulated successfully.

In the end, Jushou was the first to speak, but he was very cautious in his words, and he didn't dare to speak up at all.

"At the beginning of Zi, a certain person thought that farming should be the first priority for people's livelihood." Ju Shou said, "As long as farming is ensured so that everyone has land and harvests every year, then the refugees can be eliminated. Once there are no refugees, bandits will no longer exist. At that time, Zike will not pick up lost things on the road, and the door will not be closed at night, and the world will be peaceful."

Ju Shou's words are very pure benevolence and Taoism, and they are also the mainstream thoughts of this era. Both Guo Jia and Jia Xu nodded in agreement.

Similar to this kind of governance method that is close to governance by doing nothing, with light corvee and low tax, will inevitably make people's livelihood recuperate.Everyone has a field, then everyone has food, and at the same time everyone has food to eat.

Ancient Chinese peasants had the most tenacious endurance. As long as they could live on, nothing would happen.

Therefore, ensuring that the people do not go hungry lays the foundation for long-term stability.

This is the so-called great order in the world in the eyes of the world!
Therefore, Ju Shou's statement is not wrong.It's just that this is not the answer Lin Chao wants, not to mention that Ju Shou's talk is too broad, and there is no specific and feasible strategy.

But Lin Chao just asked casually, and didn't expect to get a strategy right away, so he also nodded with a smile.

"I agree with the public opinion. It's just that although Nieyang City is not big, the people's lives are more prosperous than those under Xuzhou's rule, so I thought, after returning to Xuzhou this time..."

Lin Chao was talking, when he suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes.

This is a busy city in the city, who would dare to gallop a horse?
And it's almost curfew time, isn't it afraid of hurting pedestrians to ride a horse at this time!

Thinking of this, Lin Chao frowned, and when he looked forward, he saw a carriage galloping on the street, the speed was almost the limit of the horse's best running.

The man who drove the car looked to be in his forties, but his gray hair was eye-catching.

"Supervisor be careful!"

Seeing that the carriage was getting closer, Tai Shici exclaimed, and hurriedly strode forward to block Lin Chao.

At the same time, more than a dozen strong men dressed as domestic servants rushed to the front at the same time, protecting Jia Xu and others.

Keng!
After Tai Shici took the lead and pulled out his saber, the servants around him also pulled out their sharp knives at the same time, their eyes immediately filled with strong killing intent.

Lin Chao's trip was very low-key, it can be called a night trip in brocade clothes, although there are not many guards around him, but all of them are top-notch masters in the army, and they can count as ten.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Seeing that the group of people in front of him did not give way, the driver hurriedly shouted.

Unfortunately, his shouting did not have any effect.

Tai Shici held the sword in one hand, stared at the driver, and shouted in a low voice: "I stop this car with a certain one, if anyone in the car dares to resist, I will kill them without mercy!"

"only!"

The servant next to him agreed, and then five people walked out, even rushing towards the carriage without dodging or evading.

Seeing this, Lin Chao said, "Ziyi, although this person shouldn't be riding a horse in the city, he is not guilty of death, so we'd better avoid it for now."

Although Lin Chao has a temper, he is not a bloodthirsty person, so he immediately proposed to avoid it.

But Tai Shici, who has always been obedient to Lin Chao's words, shook his head this time, and still stood in front of Lin Chao, without turning his head, and said: "The supervising army is not allowed. The purpose of this car is not yet known, so we can't let it approach. Wait. The carriage is in front of us, if the person in the carriage intends to assassinate, the general may not be able to protect the supervising army properly!"

This sentence is very clear, because the behavior of the carriage in front of him is too abnormal, it is even more impossible to avoid it.When the carriage passed by all the people, in case an assassin in the carriage really violently attacked, even Tai Shici might not be able to protect Lin Chaozhou.

Tai Shici was very aware of the importance of Lin Chao to the Liu Bei Group, so he didn't want to make the slightest mistake.
