The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 7 On the Ultimate Realm of Self-Moving
The prefect of a county is a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand shi and a monthly salary of 120 hu.However, the power of this official position is very flexible, with a high upper limit and a very low lower limit.

The Baiguan system in the Han Dynasty is more interesting. Its regulatory balance seems to be perfect, but in fact it is very magical and easy to lose balance.

For example, the highest official position in the imperial court is Sangong, with a rank of ten thousand stones. He seems to be an extremely powerful minister, but most of the time he has no real power.Another example is the governor who only had six hundred stones at first, but he can supervise the prefect with a rank of two thousand stones.

And the key to determining whether everything is out of balance is the Son of Heaven!
The imperial power in the Eastern Han Dynasty was far less powerful than it was a thousand years later, and there were many constraints, such as foreign relatives, gentry, and generals, but these constraints checked and balanced each other to achieve a delicate balance.

If the emperor is strong and skilled, he will be able to turn these constraints into strengths and unify them to govern the world.

But...if the reigning emperor is docile or even a bit wimpy, these obstacles will appear on the stage one after another, and you will sing and I will go on stage, and start to eat back the imperial power.

And the current Hanling Emperor Liu Hong is obviously the latter.

Therefore, the position of prefect of a county is not the magistrate who has to report everything to the governor's court, but the local emperor who has a solid military and political grasp!

The imperial court is weak, and no matter what these prefects do, they are just reporting to the imperial court symbolically, and it doesn't matter whether the imperial court agrees or not.Also, just report it to the court after finishing it. Whether you agree or not, I will do it first.

What's more, it's just a verbal talk, and even the report is exempted.

Under this unspoken rule, the prefect, a middle-level official, has become a real feudal official. As long as it is not a matter of rebellion, you can do whatever you really want to do within the administration.

This is exactly why Liu Bei was so surprised when he heard Lin Chao's words.

Facing Liu Bei's shocked and searching gaze, Lin Chao smiled and said, "As a county magistrate, Mr. Xuande has the responsibility of guarding the land and keeping the people safe. How can he just walk away?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Liu Bei said with a distressed expression: "Sir, I don't know something. Although a certain person has the heart to kill thieves, he is alone and alone. Besides, Anxi is a small county with only a few hundred soldiers in it. An Neng is against Zhang Chun. Thieves!"

"Then recruit soldiers!" Lin Chao resolutely said, "Zhang's rebellion must be reported to the envoy, but he must do nothing. Xuande Gong can send a few of his cronies to Yecheng to report to the envoy, and then lead Anxi's soldiers himself, We have been recruiting soldiers. Wait for the envoy's army to come, and join him to defeat the bandit army."

"After the incident is completed, can the Xuande Public Security be the prefect of a county?"

Facing Lin Chao's answer, not only Liu Bei was stunned, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also stunned, and even Lin Xi was stunned for a long time before he realized it.

But thinking about it carefully, what Lin Chao said is whimsical, but it is completely feasible. This is a road that no one has ever imagined.

The rebellion is approaching, when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are rejoicing that they don't have to be dismissed from office, and even have the merits of being the first.

When Lin Xi was still thinking hard about the benefits of his elder brother's actions.

When Uncle Fu learned of Zhang Chun's rebellion, he was trying his best to preserve Lin's foundation.

Even Liu Bei didn't know the way forward and only wanted to ask Lin Chao for guidance.

Only Lin Chao himself has already planned the way forward, and even thought of how to implement it.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help looking at Lin Chao with admiration.

"But... recruiting soldiers without the permission of the imperial court is not in compliance with the regulations. If the imperial court convicts us, how will we deal with it?"

Although Liu Bei was convinced by Lin Chao's ideas, he was still worried. After all, recruiting troops without authorization is a serious crime.

"Don't worry about Mr. Xuande. As long as Mr. Xuande contributes to the fight against the chaos in the future, the court will not only not blame him, but will reward you. Husband power is not lost, please make a quick decision on Mr. Xuande."

Lin Chao could also understand Liu Bei's worries.But quelling chaos is not a trivial matter, and it cannot be completed in a month or two.

After all, the rebellion is just around the corner. As long as Liu Bei shows enough strength in the quelling of the rebellion, not only will the court not blame him, but he will also confer titles on officials to appease Liu Bei so that he can continue to work for the court.

After the quelling of chaos is completed, Liu Bei's wings have been formed, and he has no objection, so the court will naturally be appeased.

Zhang Chun's rebellion this time is both a crisis and an opportunity.

If Liu Bei can accumulate enough strength in this rebellion and obtain a territory, he will be able to gain an advantage in the next world hegemony.

This is Lin Chao's real purpose.

It's just that these things are only suitable for secret planning, but they cannot be announced.

Fortunately, Liu Bei did not disappoint Lin Chao. After thinking for a while, he had an idea.

"Okay, according to what you said, recruiting troops to fight the chaos is against the imperial court's regulations, but we have to follow the power urgently, but we don't care about it so much. If the imperial court blames me, I, Liu Xuande, have a clear conscience!"

Liu Bei clenched his fists tightly, and said with a firm gaze: "This trip is dangerous, please go to Yecheng and report to the envoy, and I will go recruit soldiers to resist the bandit army."

What?
Liu Da Er, you want to drive me away?
why?
Lin Chao couldn't help being stunned...

It is said that I have made suggestions for you one after another, you shouldn't be surprised that I, Lin, is a great talent, and then weep bitterly and beg me to stay, and finally I, Lin, half pushed and half said, "For the general's ambition, I wish to follow the example of a dog and a horse." labor'.

That's how it fits the script!

I have finished writing the script, and you actually want to drive me away!
Big ears Liu, touch your conscience, doesn't it really hurt?
In fact, Lin Chao's script was well written, and everything went as he expected.

It's just that he ignored a problem.

That is Liu Bei today, just a mere county lieutenant.And Lin Chao, as a local tycoon, is even more filial and honest. Liu Bei didn't expect him to join him at all.

Seeing that the military disaster was approaching, Liu Bei thought that after Lin Chao finished planning for himself, he would pat his ass and leave.

That's why he gave a step up and gave Lin Chao the credit for being the first.

But who ever thought that Lin Chao didn't care about Xiaolian's identity at all, but wanted to hug Liu Bei's thigh.

Ever since, the scene was very embarrassing...

After a while, Lin Chao finally couldn't hold back, coughed twice, and said, "For the matter of being the leader, Duke Xuande can send a confidant. Although Chao is not talented, he is willing to follow Xuande's justice Besides, I, the Lin family, have quite a lot of money, so I can add a little credit to the recruiting, so please don't refuse, Mr. Xuande."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that Lin Chao wanted to take this opportunity to make a contribution.After having credit, coupled with his filial and honest status, after returning to the court, the court will definitely reuse it.

This Mr. Lin has great ambitions!
But that's good too, with this person's help, the suppression of the bandits will definitely go much smoother this time.Besides, getting along day and night, I may not be unable to recruit this great talent.

So Liu Bei was even happier.

"Okay, very good! I am very grateful to have Mr. help!" Liu Bei said, and even poured a bowl of wine for Lin Chao himself, toasted and laughed.

"Everyone, please drink this bowl to the brim, and go to recruit soldiers to fight the chaos and make contributions!"

It has to be said that Liu Bei's true temperament infected everyone in the field. Looking at his smug expression, not only Zhang Fei blushed with excitement, but even Lin Xi turned into Liu Bei's little fan, screaming to kill the thief and make meritorious service.

After drinking for three rounds, the three Liu Bei brothers went to pack their bags, and Lin Chao called Uncle Fu over.

"Uncle Fu, how much money does the family have right now?"

At this time, Uncle Fu probably understood what Lin Chao meant, that is, to use his family money to conscript Liu Bei.

"Lang Jun, the family has 2000 million yuan of money, ten thousand stones of grain, and three hundred acres of fertile land, and one thousand acres of good land..."

Seeing that Uncle Fu wanted to go on in detail, Lin Chao interrupted with a wave of his hand, and continued to ask: "How many people are available for the guests and servants?"

"About 200 people."

Lin Chao's eyes lit up immediately, whether it was 2000 million yuan, ten thousand shi grains, or two hundred usable people, these were all resources!

If 2000 million yuan and ten thousand stones of grain are used to recruit soldiers, thousands of people can be recruited. Although there is no guarantee of long-term supply, it can support war with war.

And the two hundred people who are available are all supported by the Lin family for generations, they are loyal to him, and they are not small in the early stage.

Seeing that Lin Chao was happy, Uncle Fu hurriedly persuaded him: "Mr. Lang, you really want to help Duke Xuande with all your wealth. This old slave thinks it's inappropriate. My Lin family has money and food, and Mr. Lang, you are from a Xiaolian family. Why attach yourself to a county lieutenant."

In Uncle Fu's view, Lin Zhao's move was quite unwise.

In the short term, Uncle Fu is right to be concerned.But he doesn't know what kind of troubled times will be in the next few decades.Those aristocratic families that have existed for hundreds of years will inevitably be reduced to pawns, bargaining chips, let alone the Lin family.

"Uncle Fu, I have made up my mind. I will transfer 500 million yuan and [-] shi of grain and grass to be used by Xuande Gong to recruit soldiers."

Hearing this, Uncle Fu was silent for a moment, and finally had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "Wei!"

"Uncle Fu, believe me, we will never regret today's decision."

Now that time is running out, Lin Chao comforted Uncle Fu with kind words, and then asked him to pack food and money.

Just as Uncle Fu left, Lin Xi walked over with a troubled look on his face.

"Zixu, why do you look so depressed?"

Lin Chao was a little curious, and asked, thinking that this guy is also here to persuade me.

But unexpectedly, Lin Xi did not persuade Lin Chao not to help Liu Bei with his family's money, but said apologetically, "Brother, you don't have to risk yourself for me."

Hearing this, and looking at Lin Xi's expression, Lin Chao's heart is broken, this dramatist will not come up with some outrageous plot again!
Sure enough, Lin Xi continued with a gloomy expression: "I understand that it is because of my ambition that my brother devoted all his family resources to helping Lord Xuande, just to allow me to lead the army into battle. Xi is grateful..."

"It's just... a little family money, that's all. Brother, you should never go to recruit soldiers yourself. The road is difficult and dangerous, and brother, you have been weak and sick since you were young. If you encounter a traitor and make a mistake, then I will die." blame……"

As he spoke, Lin Xi clasped his fists and said with tears: "Brother, let me go with Duke Xuande alone. In case of misfortune, I return the body wrapped in horse leather, and my brother, Lin, will inherit the incense..."

He was still rambling on, but Lin Chao's face became more and more ugly...

This kid's brain was kicked by a donkey...

No, even a brain kicked by a donkey is not so outrageous!
It's fine if you say you're an actor, but you're actually a logic teacher...

Also, are you so eager for me to die!
The most important point is that at this time, this kid has not forgotten his horse leather shroud...

This is outrageous!

Looking at Lin Xi whose face was full of emotion and weeping, Lin Chao finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved his big sleeve.

"roll!"
