The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 428 Let's Have Some Meeting Ceremony

In front of the government office.

Lin Chao held the saber bestowed by Liu Bei on his shoulders, looked at the officials in Xuzhou calmly, and just stood in front of the door, neither speaking nor speaking.Tai Shici followed on the left, and Zhuge Liang stood on the right.

But it was this silent environment that put great pressure on everyone.

Originally, there was a bustling scene in front of the government office, and many officials with good personal relationships were whispering to each other, guessing the content of today's discussion, or the upcoming rewards.

The overall atmosphere is pleasant.

But when Lin Chao came, and after standing here for a while, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and only Lin Chao was left with a smile on his face.

Anyone can see that today's Lin Changshi is very different from the past.There was a faint feeling of something bad in everyone's heart. Although they didn't know what was about to happen, they were still uneasy, and they dared not relax.

As time passed by, Lin Chao still stood there motionless, and the people below dared not move even more.

For a moment, the scene seemed to freeze.

Some low-level officials who had never seen this kind of battle had already begun to sweat on their foreheads, and while they were at a loss, their expressions became unnatural.

As for those core members of Xuzhou who had good relations with Lin Chao, of course they knew that with Lin Chao's character, they would never target indiscriminately, so they didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the field can be said to have formed a kind of torment, even torture, for everyone.

I don't know how long the seconds like years lasted, but the drop of a needle can still be heard in front of the government office.

Keng!
Suddenly a voice sounded, startling everyone.

When he hurriedly looked forward, he saw Lin Chao pulled out the saber from his waist and was playing with it in his hand.

Immediately, everyone's hearts tightened, and some people couldn't hold back immediately!
"Mr. Xuande's saber is indeed extremely sharp!"

Lin Chao raised his sword high above his head, followed the angle of the morning sun, carefully observed the cold light emanating from the edge of the sword, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter.

Correspondingly, the complexions of the people below became increasingly ugly.

The only one who was more relaxed in the field was Zhuge Liang.

As Lin Chao's little tail, this was the first time he had seen such a scene, a pair of big eyes couldn't help turning, looking left and right.

Who is the teacher deterring?
Zhuge Liang was full of doubts. Although Lin Chao told him to ask if he didn't understand, it was obviously not the time to ask.

After another period of torment, the current Taiwei, Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei finally arrived.

Accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter, when everyone turned their heads to look, they saw a figure like Tarzan of the orangutan walking slowly against the morning light, followed by Dian Wei who was like an iron tower.

Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Liu Bei a little excitedly, as if they regarded him as a great savior.

This bastard Lin Zichu is too scary, my lord, you came at the right time, otherwise we will be overwhelmed!
Lin Chaogui put his sword into its sheath, first straightened his clothes very solemnly, and then strode forward: "See Duke Xuande!"

Behind, everyone also cupped their hands and said in unison: "See the lord!"

"You are free!"

Liu Bei looked in good spirits today, with a flushed face, he waved his sleeves to signal everyone to get up.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei looked at Lin Chao in front of him, and said curiously: "Zi Chu, you came so early today, it's not like you... Xiao Kongming is here too!"

For Zhuge Liang, the young lady with red lips and white teeth, Liu Bei still liked it very much, and soon his eldest nephew Guan Ping was about to marry Zhuge Liang's second sister, and the two became relatives.

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande, the Xuzhou officials are discussing matters today, and Chao will bring Ah Liang to see him."

Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes flashed a deep meaning, and he said with a smile: "Zi Chu, it seems that you have high expectations for this child!"

Lin Chao didn't answer this question, but just nodded slightly.

"Let's go, all the ministers, let's go in with someone to discuss the matter!"

Liu Bei waved his sleeves and strode towards the government office. Lin Chao followed closely behind, followed by Xuzhou officials, big and small, and walked into the government office.

……

As early as a few days ago, Lin Chao had already formulated a charter for today's meeting.

First of all, there is nothing to say about the rewards for the meritorious officers and men who conquered Dong Zhuo last year.

The second is the personnel changes of high-level officials in Xuzhou.

Now that Liu Bei has been promoted to Taiwei, he has the right to open the government, and his civil servants should be promoted not only in official positions, but also in terms of power.Lin Chao intends to form a team of the Taiwei Mansion as a model to replace the original Xuzhou Twelve in governing.

After all, when Liu Bei's power turf is not only in Xuzhou, it will always feel a bit nondescript to use Xuzhou to manage government affairs.

The third is to propose the establishment of a complete medical system.

Zhang Ji had already arrived in Xuzhou, and the Jishi Mansion had been established, so it was time to put it on the table.Lin Chao plans to try it out in Donghai County first, and then gradually implement it to the entire Xuzhou.

Because the new yamen needed too many people, Lin Chao did not make a private decision, but prepared to discuss it publicly.

The fourth is the strategic deployment of going north to Qingzhou.

Last year, Lin Chao proposed to Jia Xu and Jushou that they should come up with a feasible plan for attacking Qingzhou before the end of the year. Later, due to the complexity of everything, Lin Chao ignored this matter, but Jia Xu and Jushou should have already arranged it.

Today's public discussion happened to be brought up.

Fifth, carry out the reform of the centralized military system.

At present, the total strength of Xuzhou has exceeded [-].Although most of them were compiled and trained by Liu Bei himself, and Liu Bei's prestige in the army is unmatched, and most of the generals are desperately loyal, but Lin Chao wants more than that.

The privatization of the military is still serious.For example, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu and others who surrendered last year, even though they are willing to serve Liu Bei, the army under their command is still their private part in essence.

This is absolutely not allowed!
Finally, it is to establish a complete business system model.

Regarding this point, Lin Chao has nothing to say.He doesn't understand economics and technology, and he can only give a rough direction for all of this, and then hand it over to Zhen Shi and Mi Shi, who have been in business for generations.

If it is really necessary to transfer the economic and financial system of later generations, it may not be applicable, and it may be suspected of spoiling the growth of seedlings.Before productivity gets rid of the constraints of manpower, something that is too advanced may not be a good thing.

Of course, excess wealth will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences.Therefore, Lin Chao plans to set up a new department to restrain and manage the Zhen family and the Mi family who will hold massive wealth in the future.

Everyone entered the government office, and after taking their seats, Liu Bei looked at Lin Chao who was seated first, frowned, and said, "Jun Ming, move Zichu's table case to Come down here."

When this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Liu Bei's original intention, of course, was not to show Lin Chao's status in front of everyone.

It's just that Liu Bei hasn't taken much care of government affairs since he started the army. He was afraid of making mistakes in such an important meeting, so he wanted to move Lin Chao's position closer to him, so that he could check for gaps and make up for the gaps.

But once a precedent is set for some things, it may become a matter of course in the future.

When Liu Bei made this decision, all the officials in Xuzhou, and even Tian Feng, who usually likes to argue the most, did not object.

One, it is not easy to refute Liu Bei's face in full view.

The two, with Lin Chao's merits and qualifications, are also enough to sit in this position.

Dian Wei agreed, and without the need for soldiers to do anything, he strode over in person, lifted Lin Chao's table and put it on the place where Liu Bei was headed.

In this way, Liu Beigao sat on the main seat, and Lin Chao sat below him, facing all the officials like Liu Bei.

Just when Dian Wei was about to leave after moving, Lin Chao stopped him and said with a smile: "Jun Ming, go and bring a smaller table and let Kong Ming take a seat."

"This……"

No matter how careless Dian Wei was, he knew the importance of this seat, so he turned to look at Liu Bei above.

Liu Bei grinned, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and nodded.

"As ordered!"

Dian Wei walked away with his fists clasped, and soon brought a small table and placed it next to Lin Chao.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on Zhuge Liang.

Xiao Liangzai said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Teacher, this disciple has no official or job title, and is still young, how dare he sit here..."

"If you're told to sit, just sit and don't talk too much." Lin Chao said softly.

"only!"

When the teacher spoke, Zhuge Liang didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bite the bullet and sit down.

Lin Chao's move naturally gave everyone room to imagine.Concerning Zhuge Liang's identity and his future career path, interested people have maintained a high degree of concern.

Then, the public discussion officially began.

Under the eager eyes of everyone, Jian Yong brought two soldiers to bring a thick stack of edicts from the emperor.

The reward, the reward that all civil servants and generals desire most, is finally here!

Of course Liu Bei understood the impatience of the crowd, so he didn't hesitate any longer, but picked up the imperial edict and began to read it out.

Next is the time for Xuzhou to celebrate.

As the head of generals in Xuzhou, Guan Yu was naturally the first to receive the title due to his meritorious service in beheading Niu Fu.

The Lin Dynasty prepared Guan Yu for the official position of General Smash Bandit, who also served as the prefect of Langya.And the title was promoted from Hanshoutinghou to Hanshouxianghou, adding [-] households in Shiyi, and the previous [-] households, a total of [-] households.

Although General Dang Kou was a miscellaneous general, but in the Han Dynasty, generals were only temporary officials, and the honorary titles that would be bestowed before going out to battle were far different from those generals in the later generations.

Don't you see, when Lu Zhiji attacked Zhang Jiao in the past, he was just a general of Zhonglang.

But now that the imperial court is declining and the frequency of wars is greatly increasing, in order to be able to cope with the rewards of meritorious soldiers, the Lin Dynasty turned these temporary miscellaneous generals into permanent ones.

In Xiaowei, Duwei, and Zhonglang, I saw that adding these permanent miscellaneous generals was also to avoid the generals from being promoted too quickly, which eventually led to the embarrassing situation of being unsealable.

Even so, Guan Yu was very satisfied with his reward, his face turned even redder, and the scarf on his head trembled a little because of his excitement.

"Congratulations, second brother!" Zhang Fei clasped his fists beside him and laughed.

It was rare for Guan Yu to smile at Zhang Fei, and he said loudly, "Congratulations, congratulations! After waiting, third brother, go and call Shang Zilong and Wenyuan, and let's go drinking and having fun together."

Next, is the reward that belongs to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun worshiped the general of the Yi Army and concurrently served as the prefect of Xiapi. At the same time, he obtained the official position of Kaiyang Tinghou, with three hundred households in the city.Kaiyang is a big county, and it is in Donghai County in the hinterland of Xuzhou, which can be regarded as a big sweetener for Zhao Yun.

Zhang Fei paid homage to General Polu and concurrently served as the prefect of Mount Tai. He was granted the title of Tinghou of Licheng, with three hundred households in the city.

Lin Xi paid homage to General Yingyang, concurrently served as the captain of Mount Tai, and was granted the title of Marquis of Xiangben Ting, with two hundred households in Shiyi.

Guo Jia was still working in the Xuzhou government, but Lin Chao finally kept his promise and gave him a Dongguan Tinghou with two hundred households in the food town.

Well, the title of Marquis of Tingguan... is very much in line with Guo Jia's personality.

The rest, such as Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Lu Qian, etc., were also promoted to captaincy and granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.

As for the civil servants, they all have their own promotions.

Last year in Luoyang, Liu Bei intercepted Dong Zhuo's goods that were about to be transported to Chang'an. At this time, he was rich and powerful, and he also rewarded officials at all levels in Xuzhou heavily.

Anyway, everyone is happy, peaceful, and everyone is very satisfied.

As for Lin Chao, he had discussed with Liu Bei a few days ago, so his official position has not changed. He even resigned from the position of the prefect of the East China Sea, and he is still the governor of Xuzhou. The location of Marquis of Anxi County.

Became the first county marquis under Liu Bei, with a thousand households in Shiyi.

It stands to reason that after the reward, these low-level officials in Xuzhou will have nothing to do.But Liu Bei was grateful that everyone came from all over Xuzhou several days in advance, so he ordered a banquet for all the officials to reward everyone.

Referred to as... eating seats.

Hearing this, everyone gave thanks again, with happy smiles on their faces.

But the next moment, Lin Chao stood up and smiled at everyone.

Now everyone couldn't laugh anymore, because Lin Chao's smile was so strange, it seemed like the beginning of a good show.

Lin Changshi turned around, cupped his hands at Liu Bei and said, "Mr. Xuande, before the banquet, there is one more thing to report to the court."

"What's the matter with Zichu, just tell me."

On such an occasion, Lin Chao would never be aimless, and his words and deeds must have a strong purpose, so Liu Bei also cooperated very much.

Lin Chao turned around, waved his sleeves and said, "Ziyi, bring it up."

"only!"

Tai Shici cupped his fists and then waved his hands.

The next moment, soldiers filed in, and each soldier even held a prisoner in his hands, driving them to kneel in front of Liu Bei.

These prisoners look... different from those who have been tortured and skinny, and even everyone is dressed in fine clothes, with a big belly and a pampered look.

But when they saw the appearance of these people, the expressions of the officials in Xuzhou suddenly changed drastically.

Each of these prisoners is a family member of Xuzhou family!
Even among the hundreds of officials in Xuzhou below, there are brothers and relatives of these prisoners.

Looking at the number, there are as many as a hundred people!

Lin Chao still had a faint smile on his lips, but his gaze became cold and severe.

Anyway, today is the first meeting between me, Mr. Lin, and the Xuzhou clan. It's unreasonable not to give you a gift.
