The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 99 People's Livelihood is the Foundation of Everything
On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Bei led his army back to Lunu.

At this time, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, and the city is filled with lights and festoons, and the atmosphere of the New Year is full.

In the past six months, the entire Zhongshan County has never stopped fighting, but Lin Chao has issued a new order in the army. Wherever the army goes, it will not offend the people.

Compared with previous years, this year is the year of war, and the people are the least affected by military disasters.

Hearing that Liu Bei had returned to his army, Jian Yong led Lu Nu officials ten miles out of the city to meet him.

On such an occasion, Liu Bei, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, naturally couldn't stay in the carriage.Get out of the warm carriage, continue to ride on the horse, endure the cold wind, and accept the visit of Lunu officials.

Anyway, what followed was a harmonious scene of commercial nonsense, Lin Chao was not interested in it at all, and simply hid in the car and did not get out.

Back in Lunu City, Liu Bei ordered a banquet for the officials who came to welcome him.

Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle of the government office and when no one was paying attention, Lin Chao left alone.Before leaving, he just told Dian Wei that Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he would also be given a few days off.

A person walked out of the county office and walked on the street. Lin Chao looked around, only two or three pedestrians passing by, and it was deserted.

The end of the new year is approaching now, but for Shengdou Xiaomin, eating and dressing are still the top priorities.What they have in their hearts is still the most basic things.

But it is these most basic things that few people can be satisfied in this era.

Then listen to the noise in the county office, bustling with people, chatting and laughing, why these people are so happy, is it not because they won the battle this year, everyone is looking forward to the reward from the imperial court, so they sit together and imagine a bright future.

But their so-called bright future has nothing to do with these small people in front of them.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao suddenly felt dull, and talked a lot about the joy in his heart.

"Achievements, awards, fame, hegemony, the world..."

Lin Chao shook his head, and at the same time whispered to himself, he couldn't help but sigh.

"If these things are not built on the basis of people's livelihood, they are nothing more than castles in the air, and they will break at the touch of a button..."

Thinking about it, Lin Chao stretched out his hand to stop a strong young man carrying a burden.

"Excuse me, brother, please stay."

The man who was stopped had a dark complexion and was about 30 years old. He was a farmer who had been farming all year round.

Seeing that Lin Chao was dressed in white and had an extraordinary bearing, he realized that the person in front of him was not someone he could offend, so he put down his pole, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what your lord wants to order?"

Lin Chao saw the restraint of this person, showed a kind smile, and comforted him: "Brother, don't be restrained, I have something to ask. Excuse me, brother, the new year is approaching, have you ever prepared the New Year's goods at home?"

The essence can only be seen through the appearance. Lin Chao didn't show his official status, but he just wanted to hear the real truth.

It was said that although this person felt that Lin Chao's question was very strange, he still opened his mouth and answered: "I don't dare to be a gentleman. This trip to the city is to buy some New Year's goods for the family."

Lin Chao glanced at the cargo that this person was carrying, and saw that there were linen, roasted seeds and nuts, salt, and even an iron pot, all of which were necessities for daily life.

"These things are enough for a year."

Nodding his head, Lin Chao smiled.

Seeing Lin Chao smiled, a smile appeared on his face.

"Lang Jun's words are good, but this is also thanks to Liu Gong Xuande. Before the rebels ran rampant, every family was afraid to go out, for fear of being taken captive. Later, Xuande drove away the rebels, and we only have a few days to live in peace. Pass."

In this era, the requirements of the common people are as simple as that. If you can eat enough and not be implicated by military disasters, you can live a good life.

This person also saw that Lin Chao was a kind person, so he was not so restrained, so he said a few more words.

Hearing this, Lin Chao smiled, and his mood improved a lot.

After hearing this person's words, Lin Chao understood that the six months of hard work had achieved some practical results.

At least, the people under the rule don't have to be displaced, and they don't have to worry about it all day long.

"Thank you, brother, for speaking out."

Lin Chao arched his hands, took out a few five baht coins from his pocket, and handed them over.

The person thanked repeatedly, but just stretched out his hand but retracted it, and then quickly wiped his hand with his clothes, and then stretched out his hand again to take the copper coin from Lin Chao.

After bidding farewell to this person, Lin walked towards home, thinking all the way.

What the farmer said just now gave Lin Chao a lot of inspiration.

It has been half a year since time travel, Lin Chao has been thinking about how to assist Liu Bei to dominate the troubled times.There was nothing wrong with the route, and the result was very gratifying, but he had overlooked one point after all.

That is, the governance of the grassroots.

How to make the people under the rule live a good life is the root of all problems.

If the warehouse is real, he knows the etiquette, and if he has enough food and clothing, he knows the honor and disgrace.

If you want to govern a place well, you must establish a perfect system.

In this system, people must be able to eat and wear clothes, and it is best to have some assets and some concerns.

With these things, it is not easy for the common people to become refugees, let alone civil uprisings.

On the contrary, those who are ambitious want to set off a rebellion, and the biggest obstacle is these people.

Because these people have become vested interests in this system, and everyone is living a peaceful life. If you want to destroy this system, you are against everyone.

At that time, the people will become the biggest help to stabilize the rule.

Only in this way, and only in this way, can real long-term peace and stability be realized.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao suddenly thought that it was not unreasonable for big men to like to use sons of good families as soldiers.

These good families are the ones with vested interests at present. Whether the enemies are barbarians or rebels, they are all people who want to destroy the existing system. Their position is naturally opposed to these good families.

How can the Han army composed of these people not fight bravely and desperately.

Thinking wildly all the way, Lin Chao finally came to the door of the house.

What came oncoming was a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Lin Chao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had made a mistake, because Lin Chao himself had not been back to Lunu County for a few times.

But looking around, Lin Chao realized that this was his home, that's right!
So, who is this girl in front of you?
Why in your own home?
Could it be that Uncle Fu recently sprouted new shoots from an old tree, and married a young girl from someone's family?
Thinking of this, Lin Chao couldn't help laughing.

Uncle Fu's original wife died more than ten years ago, and has never been remarried since then, and has been alone.

Now that he and his younger brother Lin Xi are both holding important positions under Liu Bei, Uncle Fu's status has naturally risen. Even if he marries a daughter from a small family as his wife, it is not very strange.

It's not to blame Lin Chao for thinking about it. After all, he and Lin Xi haven't returned home for a long time, and there are only Uncle Fu and a few servants at home.Now suddenly a young girl appears, no matter who it is, it will be strange.

As for the end-of-year agreement that Lin Chao made with Zhen's and Wang's back then, he had long forgotten about it.
