The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 194 Chapter 190 Chapter [-] Grassroots Governance
Liu Bei's move was so sudden that no one expected it, including Lin Chao himself.

However, he still walked forward quickly, stretched out his hands, and took the sword in Liu Bei's hand.

"There are many affairs in the army, and most of them have no time to take care of political affairs." Liu Bei laughed at everyone, "From today onwards, all matters in Xuzhou, big or small, will be decided by Zichu. I hope you will help Zichu manage Xuzhou well."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at Lin Chao with incomparable enthusiasm and envy.

Originally, Lin Chao was the supervisor of the army and concurrently served as the chief historian. It can be said that he was the number two figure in the Liu Bei Group.

This time, Liu Bei directly handed over all the power except military power to Lin Chao...

What a heart this is!

What a trust this is!
Even Lin Chao himself felt the weight of the long sword in his hand, and couldn't help being moved.

At this moment, he still doesn't understand why Liu Bei bestowed the sword in public to gain momentum for himself.

With what he said today, the sword in his hand can be regarded as a real Shangfang sword.

"I will obey my lord's orders!"

Everyone stood up and bowed their hands.

Liu Bei smiled and said to Lin Chao: "Zichu, remember, no matter when you hold this sword, you will come as close as I am. Xuzhou, please leave it to Zichu."

"As ordered!"

Lin Chao held the sword in his arms, and clasped his hands in response.

"Okay, okay." Liu Bei laughed.

It can be regarded as finding a good excuse, let Zichu have a headache for future political affairs.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei smiled again: "Everyone discuss things slowly, there are still some important matters in the certain army, let's go first."

As he spoke, Liu Bei winked at Dian Wei, and immediately strode out.

Dian Wei naturally understood what it meant, and immediately followed behind.

"Congratulations to the lord!"

Everyone stood up again to salute.

After leaving the gate, Liu Bei breathed the winter air to his heart's content, with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Master, where are we going?" Dian Wei asked in a daze.

Liu Bei excitedly said: "Of course I went to the barracks to wait for justice. After he comes back, let's continue to watch him train!"

Every time he went to the barracks to watch soldiers drill, Liu Bei would feel a sense of satisfaction.

After all, these soldiers are the foundation for Liu Bei to settle down.

In the government office, seeing Liu Bei running away impatiently, everyone was speechless, and the scene suddenly became awkward.

Seeing this, Lin Chao could only cough twice, and said, "Everyone, I called you here today to discuss the general policy."

Hearing this, Xun Chen said with a puzzled look on his face, "The policy is broad? Zichu might as well explain it in more detail."

"Okay, then I will tell everyone."

Under the eyes of everyone watching, Lin Chao slowly stretched out three fingers, and said with a serious face:
"First, please remember that at any time, Duke Xuande is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and we are all loyal and good men in the Han Dynasty. This point will never change."

These remarks are to tell everyone that the position cannot be changed.

Although the Han Dynasty is declining, Liu Bei is on the rise.If you always regard yourself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, over time, those people who have their hearts in the Han Dynasty will switch to Liu Bei's command when they see that the court cannot be helped.

At worst, he will have a good impression of Liu Bei.

This move is tantamount to using the name of the Han Dynasty to strengthen Liu Bei's own momentum.

It may not be beneficial in a short time, but in the long run, it will surely gain a lot of hearts.

Everyone also immediately sensed Lin Chao's intentions, and they all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Lin Chao continued to speak: "The second is the middle-level civil and military aspects. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, there are still too few talented people under Duke Xuande's command."

At first glance, Liu Bei has a lot of talents under his command, but these are top talents, and they are far from enough.

Xuzhou has five counties and 62 counties under its jurisdiction, with a population of more than 300 million.

What's more, the territory under Liu Bei's rule will be larger and the population will be larger in the future.

We can't send these great talents to manage one county after another, that would be too wasteful.

The same goes for the army, not to mention Guan Zhang Zhao, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Xu Huang are all generals, and they are destined to lead the army alone in the future.

But who should take the position of the low-level officers in the army?

Or rather, where to find so many people.

According to the tone of this era, if you want to obtain these huge middle-level talents, you can only cooperate with the aristocratic family.

But once the aristocratic family controls this huge force, there will be a trend of invincibility, so Lin Chao doesn't want to do this.

After a pause, Lin Chao continued: "The third and last point is to govern the people, which is called grassroots governance."

These three points are all big propositions. Except for the first point which is undisputed, the other two require much discussion and planning, and the right people must be assigned to implement it, which can be described as extremely cumbersome.

"Everyone, what I mean is to start with grassroots governance. If you have any suggestions, you may wish to express your opinions."

No matter how you look at it, grassroots governance is the most inconspicuous.

But Lin Chao understands that this is the most important thing!
Without the backing of grassroots governance, no matter how great the momentum is, it is nothing more than a castle in the air.

Just like Yuan Shu, the later Huainan Skeleton King, Tianshun started the game, and most of Yuan's resources were controlled by him.

But he just ignores the management of the territory, and doesn't care about the people of Qianshou at all.

Because of this, after he became emperor, he was directly surrounded by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce.Its power fell apart quickly, and its success was fast, and its defeat was even faster!

This time, Tian Feng was the first to speak.

The guy stood up with two panda eyes, and said loudly: "Zi Chu, someone thought that by rectifying the administration of officials and cleaning up corruption, the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

Lin Chao nodded upon hearing this.

What Tian Feng said is not wrong, but it is still a little shallow.

Repairing the existing system can indeed have some effect, but this is the most typical rule of man.

With Tian Feng in your position, you can naturally guarantee that you and your subordinates will not be corrupt, and that the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

But when you, Tian Feng, are dead or transferred away, those corrupt officials will continue to ravage the people and fill their pockets.

The most typical shortcoming of the rule of man is the death of the people.

However, we must rectify the administration of officials and clean up corruption.

"In addition, the people should be encouraged to reclaim wasteland, and a corresponding reward and punishment system can be established." Xun Chen also stood up and said, "The more people have land, the more harvest they will have, and they will not become refugees, so they will pay more taxes. It can also feed more troops.”

If Tian Feng thinks from the top down, then Xun Chen thinks from the bottom up.

He first considered how to let the people live, and they would be willing to live in Xuzhou if they had enough to eat, and then they would contribute more taxes to enrich the treasury.

Only with money and food can we continue to recruit troops and expand the territory.

Strictly speaking, if Tian Feng and Xun Chen's strategies are used together, it would be a good strategy.

However, what Lin Chao wants is far more than these!

What he wants is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, with surplus money at home.

Once there are assets, the people will have concerns, and there will be a basis for mobilization.

When the war broke out, when they joined the army, they would not only work for Liu Bei, but fight for themselves!

In order to keep their wives, children and property, and keep everything that is hard-won before them, they will fight the enemy to the end.

An army of such people,

This is the army that Lin Chao really wants!
He is the best elite in the world!
But if you want to achieve this step, you must first solve the problem of people's livelihood.

What rectification of the bureaucracy!
What reclaiming wasteland!
They are all old ways of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, which are unusable.

　Farm, farm, start farming.
