Liu Bei is Chen Ji's most important county commander.

Among the nine counties in the plain county, only Liu Bei is the most able to gather people.

It can gather thousands of enemies, and it can also gather celebrities.

Because of the importance of the instrument, Chen Ji has always been very concerned about Liu Bei's political affairs.

Stunned, Chen Ji regained his composure: "Although Liu Bei has a great appearance, he is not good at government affairs, luring the people and gathering grain in the city, which is not something Liu Bei can think of." ”

"This move must have something to do with Zheng Ping!"

Ponder for a moment.

Chen Ji summoned Gongcao Sun Qianhe and Chen Qun, the eldest son of the county prince.

Sun Qian was recommended by Zheng Xuan to Chen Ji when Liu Bei visited Zheng Xuan.

Although he is not very old, Sun Qian is old and serious, and he can speak well, which is quite appreciated by Chen Ji.

"Chen Xiang."

"Father."

Not long after, Sun Qian and Chen Qun came together.

"Gongyu, long text."

Chen Ji had a serious face and handed the inspector's report to Sun Gan.

"Recently, the post inspector inspected the counties, and reported that Liu Bei of Gaotang County issued relevant decrees such as leasing the people's autumn harvest grain."

"Tempting the people and gathering grain in the city like this, the old man has doubts, I don't know what Liu Bei wants?"

Chen Ji handed the inspector's report to Sun Qian instead of Chen Qun, which already meant something.

Instead of asking Liu Bei what he wanted, he was asking Zheng Ping what he wanted.

Sun Qian quickly glanced at the inspector's report, and then thought of Zheng Xuan's instructions before coming to Pingyuan County, and knew the intention of Gaotang County's decree.

"Chen Xiang, the Yellow Turban thieves often do not produce, and survive by plundering."

"Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the yellow thieves will inevitably take the opportunity to grab grain if they want to save food for the winter."

"Although Liu County's move is suspected of tempting the people, its original intention should be to prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from stealing grain."

"Gather grain in the city and distribute grain in a unified manner, so that you will not be afraid of the yellow scarves coercing the people to attack the city."

Chen Ji became interested: "Gongyou, this Yellow Turban thief is coercing the people, how can Liu Bei tell who is the Yellow Turban thief and who is being coerced?" ”

Sun Qian said with a smile: "The people have a contract as evidence, and Liu County's order makes a contract with the people according to their household registration, how can they not tell the difference?" ”

"Even if someone is impersonating, it doesn't affect the overall situation."

"Because the people know that there is food in the county, which is enough for relief!"

"And the purpose of Liu County's order is only to prevent the Yellow Turban from harming the party, not not to save the people, as long as they are willing to cooperate, they can be regarded as people who are coerced by the Yellow Turban."

"As for those who are unwilling to cooperate, regardless of their identity, they will be dealt with as yellow turban thieves, and they can be attacked and killed with elite soldiers!"

"In addition, the people who have a contract with Liu County Order, in order to temporarily lend the grain to Liu County Order from being looted by the Yellow Turban, will also desperately help Liu County Order defend the city."

"Sun Tzu has a saying in the Art of War: The Taoist makes the people agree with the above, so he can die with it, can live with it, and is not afraid of danger."

"Liu County's order uses this plan to benefit the people, so that the people will expel themselves and benefit, and they will work together, so why are they afraid of the yellow scarf?"

"It's a pity that this plan can't be implemented in the six counties and sixty-five counties of Qingzhou, otherwise the disaster of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou will be peaceful at the end of the year!"

Chen Ji was awe-inspiring.

"Tempt the people, let the people expel themselves; Gather grain in the city to prevent the yellow turbans from looting and plundering the people. ”

"When the yellow scarf retreats, Liu Bei will return the food to the people, not only to save the people from the scourge of the yellow scarf, but also to spread the name of Liu Bei's benevolence, wisdom and courage."

"It not only benefits the people, but also gets a name."

"Zheng Xian's strategy is amazing!"

In addition to being amazed, Chen Ji regretted it again: "It's a pity that there is a Liu Bei in the nine counties of the plain!" ”

"If the nine counties and county orders all have such courage, why worry about the yellow scarf not being extinguished?"

But Chen Ji also knew that even if the county commanders of the nine counties were as bold as Liu Bei, if there was no famous and talented county commander like Zheng Ping, it would be useless.

This kind of decree is not something that anyone can easily imitate, and following the example of the government will only make a mockery and be generous, and only increase the worries of the people.

Scholars live, and those who seem to die.

Chen Qun saw that Chen Ji was worried, and said, "Why didn't my father summon Liu Bei and Zheng Ping to come to Pingyuan County to report on their work?" ”

"The child thinks that Zheng Ping may have a good plan in his chest, but he is afraid that the governor will not dare to use it, so he will help Liu Bei succeed in Gaotang County."

"With Zheng Ping's intelligence and fame, it is not an exaggeration to raise Mao Cai."

Chen Qun's reminder made Chen Ji's eyes more joyful: "The long text is reasonable!" It is rumored that Zheng Ping is already the quasi-son-in-law of Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, but because the ambition of pacifying Qingzhou has not been rewarded, the marriage date is set for three years, and it is widely discussed in Beihai County. ”

"If there is no good plan, Zheng Ping can stay in Beihai, why not come to help Liu Bei?"

After thinking about the decision, Chen Ji looked at Sun Qian again: "Gongyou, please go to Gaotang County, pass on the order for Benxiang, and let Liu Bei and Zheng Ping come to report together." ”

Although Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe did not act, Chen Ji was a person who wanted to act.

If there is a good way to protect the border and the people, Chen Ji will dare to give it a try.

Sun Qian did not delay, immediately bid farewell to Chen Ji, led a group of cavalry, under the banner of Pingyuan County Gongcao, and rode all the way to Gaotang County.

A scout had already found out the news and reported it to Zheng Ping.

"After waiting for many days, Gongyu is finally here!"

"Quickly send a message to the county!"

Since the county superintendent and postal inspector Gaotang County, Zheng Ping expected that Sun Qian would come.

Tempting the people and gathering grain in the city, such an edict will definitely alarm Chen Ji.

Liu Bei has been visiting the countryside in the past few days to observe the people's feelings.

There is Liu Bei, a county order close to the people, who personally explained the decree to the people in the countryside, and asked for warmth and hardship.

The villagers who responded to the decree were more confident.

And the villagers who did not respond to the decree were gradually moved by Liu Bei's sincerity.

"County Zun, how can I let you come to weave the mat in person, and you are old."

Rustic Cottage.

Liu Bei was dressed in cloth, his face was kind, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of official authority.

Skillfully sharpening bamboo strips with both hands, he looks like a hard-working man in the countryside.

And the old man next to him, with one limp on one foot, sincerely wanted to stop Liu Bei.

"Uncle, please sit still!" Liu Bei smiled softly, and the action of cutting bamboo strips in his hand did not pause for a moment: "When I was not an official before, I also used to weave mats and sell shoes. It's not a menial job! ”

"My mother once admonished me that it is not my fault that my family is poor, and that I can bend and stretch to be my husband."

"Don't violate benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith because of a temporary predicament, as long as you don't steal or rob, uphold the heart of benevolence, treat others with faith and righteousness, you will definitely become a hero among people!"

Liu Bei's eyes were nostalgic, and he was at home with Lao Suo, like relatives and friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Seeing that Liu Bei's words were sincere, and the craftsmanship of cutting bamboo strips was very skillful, Lao Suo couldn't help but sigh: "If the county respected could have come to Gaotang County a few years earlier, Lao Yu's nephew would not have been forced to be a yellow scarf." ”

"It's a pity that there are too few conscience officials in this world!"

"O county honor, if the old man can persuade his nephew to abandon evil and follow good, can he forgive his past crimes?"

Lao Suo's eyes were sunken, but his eyes were full of anticipation when he looked at Liu Bei.
