I have attribute points in Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 The Poor, Filial and Honest under the New Deal
Five days later.

A plain ten kilometers away from Luoyang City Gate.

A group of people gathered here in silence, and there was some dry wood where they sat.

"Why are you so depressed?" Chen Lei put down the wood in his hand and said with a smile.

He was the one who advocated bringing these people together today. If he himself had a Sima face, then today's matter would be completely over.

"Brother Chen, why do you ask questions knowingly?" A middle-aged Huishan man forced a smile.

It can be seen from his gradually whitening clothes that his family background is not good. Originally, he had hoped that he would be an official if he was born in a Xiaolian family. Households would be more than happy to lend or invest money in an official.

But now he has not become an official, and he will spend a lot of money, not to mention that after such a thing happened, the wealth of the people has been looted, and he doesn't know how long it will take to pay back the money when he becomes an official.

"Because of the recent new policy, right?" Chen Lei asked Yuming, the guard who came from Guangling, to light the fire, while Xia Jing was handling the ingredients for the barbecue.

Xia Jing had already brought people back yesterday, so he happened to bring them all out today, leaving only an old man guarding the gate. He also specifically warned that if anyone came in, they should act as if they hadn't been discovered again.

The middle-aged man in clothes nodded his head and sighed heavily, "Yes, I'm not afraid of Brother Chen's ridicule. I don't have any money left in my family. It's absolutely impossible for me to prepare government taxes." Talk too much.

Chen Lei smiled and helped him by the shoulders, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, why worry so much."

After speaking, regardless of the daze of the middle-aged Huishan, he went to put sauce on the barbecue on his own.

The most important thing about this barbecue is the ingredients, knife skill, heat and sauce.

Needless to say about the ingredients, the animals in this world have well-developed motor cells, and the meat is extremely tight and tender. Because of the martial arts in this world, the knife skills and heat are much better than in the previous life. In addition, practice makes perfect, and it is comparable to the barbecue masters in the previous life. Not bad at all, the only drawback is that there is too little sauce.

But people in this life basically cook and stew their meals, and there is nothing new about it. This barbecue will definitely make the ancients eat their tongues. Chen Lei has already tried it to conquer others.

“Zizzizi~”

The original fat on the meat was cooked by the fire, and a strong aroma wafted into the nostrils, and those depressed people couldn't help but raise their heads and sniff their noses fiercely.

What smells so good?

But there is only one answer in front of him, and the answer can be known without doing elimination.

"Brother Chen, do you want to make a farewell meal for us?" The middle-aged Hui Shan asked with a wry smile.

It is basically a fact that they left Luoyang without money. Without them, a group of rich people will be promoted.

Promoting filial piety is a right, but it is also an obligation. If the Han Dynasty did not have a steady stream of talents to be sent up, it would have been banned by other countries. It can only be said that the current country does not need to be poor. You can only have rich enough. Opportunity to climb the ladder.

In this way, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and society is stabilized like a class.

The middle-aged Huishan was silent, feeling deep powerlessness and despair in his heart. He came to Luoyang with the expectations of his parents and family. He really didn’t know what kind of posture he would take when he returned home to accept the cloudy and disappointed eyes of his parents. .

"No, to encourage you to use it." Chen Lei smiled, "Just wait a little longer."

Yang Song and the others had already eaten such a barbecue the day before yesterday, so they were looking forward to it, and they are already helping to flip it.

The barbecue grilled by Chen Lei is not the kind of small skewers. Each skewer is a large piece of meat. It is absolutely enjoyable to eat with the wine bought specially from Sande Restaurant.

Today, the filial piety of these poor families has not come fully. There are more than 1 filial piety people in this period, and only about 6/50 of them can’t afford the cost of buying an official. That’s more than 30 people. Now more than [-] people have come. , there are a dozen or so who have no feelings for Chen Lei and the others, and did not accept the banquet.

What motivates us?The middle-aged Hui Shan was dazed, looking up at the birds in the sky.

What else is there to motivate us people?
After half an hour, the meat was finally roasted, and Chen Lei asked the attendants to divide the wine and barbecue.

He took a barbecue and sat in front of the poor Xiaolians, took a hard bite of the rabbit meat covered with chili powder in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction, today's performance was pretty good.

The meat distributed to Xiao Lian was the monster that Chen Lei specially went to Heisen Mountain to catch yesterday, to show how much he valued them.

Sure enough, the Xiaolians all glanced at Chen Lei when they ate the meat.

It is difficult for them to eat soul meat at ordinary times.

Chen Lei smiled and raised his wine glass as a signal.

After everyone had almost filled their stomachs, they drank more or less wine.

Chen Lei took a sip of water and cleared his mouth, "Everyone came from below, I believe everyone understands how the life of poor people is now.

"Of course I understand." The middle-aged Hui Shan's face was gloomy, as if thinking about their future life, the life of their children and grandchildren.

The middle-aged Huishan is the leading character in the poor and filial piety, and now he is the only one who speaks, and the rest of the people are only silent.

"Have you given up yet?" A sneer appeared on Chen Lei's face.

"So what if we don't give up, is it useful for us to remonstrate? I am afraid that the ten permanent servants will order you to beat Luoyang out of Luoyang without seeing the emperor." The middle-aged man Hui Shan retorted.

Liu Hong's order is irreversible, and the matter has become a foregone conclusion. Now the news has spread all over the prefectures and counties. Officials with surplus money at home have already sent people to send the money to the prefectural capital, waiting for everyone to send it to Luoyang together. There is no possibility of the order being withdrawn!

"Then have you thought about the consequences of your giving up?" Chen Lei asked.

Silence, dead silence.

Although they study hard every day in Shangshuge and look ignorant of the world, none of them are fools, and they are of course clear about the consequences.

"So what?" the middle-aged Hui Shan asked back in a low voice.

Chen Lei stood up from the ground and looked at him condescendingly, "You are from the bottom class, and you know what the bottom class is like best. Now there are people in the ten permanent servants who are messing with the government. The big man is like an old big tree. It's already overgrown with worms, and many people are rotten, but we can't be rotten!"

"There is no medicine for a rotten person, and everyone understands it in their hearts."

"I even know that there should be more than one or two of you here who are envious and want to be such a person."

"But I believe that what more people want to be is not a moth, but a drop of rainwater. Although it is weak, it also wants to bring vitality to this big tree."

"Everyone, don't be depressed, we are the last hope of the big man!" Chen Lei sincerely, his face was full of anger.

Under the influence of alcohol, the poor and filial people saw that Chen Lei's immature face seemed to be covered with a layer of light.

"but."

"No buts!"

Chen Lei said solemnly.
