"..." Liu Bei had nothing to say. As a real civilian Taiwei, Liu Bei said that he could understand this mentality very well.

"Most of the people are honest and simple in nature, and their moral level is good after these people have enough food and clothing. However, ordinary people have very realistic cunning and cleverness. In essence, these are just for the sake of living better." Chen Xi said softly at Chang'an City, which has been gone. The people are easy to fool, but they are very difficult to fool.

No matter what kind of breech gun or cold weapon it is, in essence, when ordinary people can't survive, there is no difference between these things. Morality is always for people who can eat and wear warmth. Without this premise, it is simply empty talk.

The foundation of the way of a saint has never been ritual, joy and morality, but full food and clothing. This is the beginning of all benevolent policies. This is why Chen Xi never entangled with the people on the issue of eating. As long as the other party’s prerequisite is to live, to eat for a bite of food, and if he really doesn’t do this, he can’t continue to live, then his sins can be forgiven.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi would forgive the bandits of Mount Tai, the Yellow Turban, and many rioters back then. He couldn't even eat enough, so why would he talk about it? Now, the Central Plains can barely be able to eat enough, so Chen Xi is qualified to talk about other things.

"That's true. Even living is a problem. How could you think about other things?" Liu Bei nodded and said. He had always had a deep understanding of the issue of eating.

"By the way, this has left Chang'an, are you going?" Chen Xi looked at the snow field outside the window and the people who were as small as small dots in the distance, and occasionally saw a series of frames full of cargo passing by Liu Bei's highway four-wheeled carriage.

"Go to a small village of Sanfu." Liu Bei said gently, "You may feel better when you get there. Speaking of which, I was not here before. Hanmou went to Qinling Mountains, don't worry about it. The mountain is blocked with heavy snow. Are you really afraid that something will happen to him?"

"Hasn't you found the black and white immortals back?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "With those two people here, Han Mou will not be in any danger, but it is also strange. What is he doing in the mountains at this time and what food is he looking for?"

In the Aguquan area at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, local villagers took the bacon and cut it to cook for cookies. The old hunter took out the delicacies collected from the mountain to make soup for cookies. After Cookies were lost with Qu Ji, they all relied on face-scanning to make meals.

Fortunately, when the cookies came out, they still brought money, which was not considered useless. Although many people refused to accept the cookies, when the cookies left, they still left some Wuzhu coins. After traveling all over the Central Plains, they knew that the things that the people took out were often the most precious foods that their families could not bear to eat.

He just ate it and ran away. The other party would not say anything for his gratitude for his achievements, but he didn't really lose it.

After attending the court meeting, the cookie took his wife to travel in the snow. It was not because she was sick, but just to let Qu Ji understand what she really had and let his wife feel what people mean, what it means to eat from Youzhou to Jiaozhou without money, eat from Jiaozhou to Yizhou, and what it means to eat from my cookie even if I eat free meals.

In fact, the cookie originally planned to take Qu Ji to visit the Nonghuang Temple. However, from Jiangnan to Jiangbei and then to Chang'an, there are Nonghuang Temple everywhere, and the inscriptions are also described, but most of them are not the cookies. Although cookies have traveled all the way through the Central Plains, many have seen cookies, but China has always been a habit of clay sculptures and wood carvings to see the thoughts of the people.

Just like Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's appearances are very different, but the two in the temple are very similar, so that when cookies go to worship the temple, the temple Zhu is likely to recognize the cookies, but the statue does not look like cookies.

After all, Qu Ji was young and had a scattered personality. During this period, Qu Ji was very clear that the statues in the temple were not only Shennong Emperor, but the ones accompanying him were his husband, but looking at the strange style of painting, Qu Ji was inevitably teasing Cookies.

This is why Cookie decisively took his wife to wander around Yongzhou after the court meeting. If the people in some places have the highest recognition of cookies, it goes without saying that it must be Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yongzhou, and Yangzhou.

The people in these four places spent a long time on the spot to give guidance. Unlike other places, the official teaches the good varieties, intensive cultivation, and compost methods. The students brought out to teach the cookies. The people in these four places know a lot of cookies and know what the real Canghou looks like.

If cookies can be used to scrub their faces and eat everywhere, then in these four places, cookies can go wherever they go.

After the court meeting, Cookie, who was teased by his wife, threw the guard and led Qu Ji to Yongzhou. Then Cookie showed his wife what it means to rush around wherever she goes. As long as one person recognizes it, a group of people will soon watch. It was already the New Year Festival, these people would withdraw the banquet on the spot, invite Cookie to the main seat, and then start the seat again.

After this round, Qu Ji truly understood the meaning of the bunch of five-colored ears on the hands of his husband in the Nonghuang Temple, and also truly understood that his father would think that cookies were saints.

Compared to the fact that they used to rely on family and power, when Cookie took her to have a meal, the simple and unpretentious praise and admiration of ordinary people were the most real feedback.

More importantly, compared to the guilt of others when accepting these praises and admiration, Cookie was calm and composed when others were serving him toast. After all, he did these things.

The same is true of cookies, which led Qu Ji to eat the delicacies that the people had saved for a long time and drink the old wine that the people had buried for more than ten years, without any loss. After all, it was a husband and wife. If cookies can afford the kindness carried by these things, then she can eat with a clear conscience and drink with peace of mind.

After all, to a certain extent, what she eats is not someone else's food. As a wife, what's wrong with eating her husband? Carrying a wife has been a key task for her husband since ancient times.

Chen Xi and Liu Bei who were driving to Xitun here naturally didn't know that Cookies had lived so well recently, but even if they didn't know, they wouldn't have any concerns about Cookies.

Not to mention the protection of black and white immortals, even if there is no protection of immortals, cookies will basically not have any problems in the Central Plains as long as they do not die and make trouble in the undercurrents in those places. Although the people of this era have a cunning side, they also have a simple side. At least they will never attack when facing cookies.

Even the so-called crazy crazy guy will not touch cookies.

"Don't worry about Hanmou, maybe he is hiring in which village he is now hiring. In Yongzhou, the Canghou Qu family has a very high status. Not to mention the Hanmou's body, even the Qu family can eat with their faces." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Cookie must be fine, at most I don't know where I went.

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded. Liu Bei was still very impressed by people like Cookies and Zhao Yun who could make a living by relying on their faces.

"By the way, Duke Xuande, I haven't talked about the purpose of this trip yet." Seeing this, Chen Xi returned to the original question again and looked at Liu Bei with a curious look on his face.

"You will know when you go to Xitun." Liu Bei said with a smile, and the coachman outside heard Liu Bei's order and rushed towards his destination again.

About an hour later, Chen Xi and Liu Bei finally arrived in Xitun, and there was a village and a village next to it. It was obvious that this was the model of gathering villages and combining villages planned by Chen Xi. The three villages were arranged in the shape of a font, and an official would be arranged to be stationed locally and managed.

The villages that appear in front of Chen Xi now are the most standard products after the merger of villages. There are nearly 10,000 such villages in the current Central Plains.

All of them are standard 450 to 600 households, standard roads entering and leaving the village, three spare deep water wells, planned water conservancy network, a doctor who knows some medical skills and can treat people and pigs and dogs. If you are lucky, there should be a teacher, a small shop that collects and sells agricultural and sideline products, and a fifty militiamen take away.

However, now the militias in the Han Dynasty already had the batch of scale armor and chain mail that Chen Xi had returned before, and could barely pretend to be elite troops.

"It's okay, there is no snow on the road. It's obvious that the area of ​​my own village was cleaned and the walls were built. Let's take a look, um, there is a small schoolyard, a target, a shop, and a small private school. It's not bad. If it's a well, it's okay. I saw one." Chen Xi looked around and nodded, and this was a very good job.

"The officials in this place did a great job. Although I did require a small school and archery target when I planned it, it was still somewhat unexpected to be able to implement it to this level." Chen Xi was amazed, and a rare look of satisfaction appeared.

Although there is only fifty militia in a village, but there is a professional training place, these militias will train when they are free. After all, they will become militias. Each village has a certain subsidy every month, just to allow these people to train.

This scale seems small, accounting for less than two percent of the village population. However, there are more than 10,000 such villages across the country. If they are trained on time, these soldiers will be good regular soldiers when necessary, and in terms of cost, the cost of this method is extremely low.
