Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 329 Liu Bian's Grave Digging
In the second year of Xingping (AD 195), the emperor settled in Yecheng, Jizhou, and began to build palaces.

The earth began to recover, green shoots began to grow, but there was a lot of quarrels in the mansion of the general.

"My lord, the construction of the palace is costly, so don't use troops anymore."

"My lord, the winter is over and the spring plowing is coming soon. Although the black mountain bandits are in disorder, the people are suffering, so we must attack them."

Inside the general's mansion, the civil and military officials were arguing endlessly, but it was because the black mountain bandits started to loot after the severe winter.

Some officials think that this is the time to recuperate, and the crusade against bandits is not good for stability, while others think that Jizhou will never have a day of peace if the Black Mountain bandits are not eradicated for a day.

Looking at the civil and military quarreling endlessly, Lu Bu sat calmly on a brand-new chair, and at the same time, the appearance of the hall also changed quietly.

Many novelty things from Jiangdong began to spread in Dahan, the most obvious things are refined salt and chairs.

On the hard chair, Lu Bu rested his forehead with one hand, looked at the quarreling courtiers below, but the corners of his eyes were full of smiles.

However, all the civil and military men under his command were full of respect, and their lord's coercion became stronger day by day. Before Lu Bu spoke, everyone only dared to express their own opinions.

"Okay everyone, the crusade against the Black Mountain Bandits was delayed by the emperor last year. This year, the Black Mountain Bandits must be wiped out, and Jizhou needs to recuperate."

After Lu Bu opened his mouth, the quarrelsome civil and military officials all fell silent, looking at their lord.

"Zhang Liao will be the main general, and Zhang He and Zhou Yu will be the deputy generals. However, too many troops will delay the spring plowing, so we will send more than [-] troops, and officials from all over the country will assist them."

promise!
When the officials heard that Lu Bu had only dispatched [-] troops, they all heaved a sigh of relief. [-] troops are not important to Jizhou, and will not disturb the foundation of Jizhou at all.

"My lord, now Qingzhou is full of bandits and bandits, and it is a land without an owner. We should take advantage of this great opportunity to seize it and put down the flames of war for the great Han."

Jia Xu, who usually doesn't show his face, came out and said in a soft voice. At this time, everyone looked sideways. They have been busy fighting with the emperor and officials recently, and they have forgotten the general trend of the world.

Qingzhou can be said to be a mess, and at this time Liu Bei in Xuzhou is actively preparing to fight against Cao Cao, and he is beyond his reach. Only Lu Bu in Jizhou can border Qingzhou.

"Order Yang Lin to lead [-] troops, and take Qingzhou to take over slowly."

Nuo~
"Feng Xiao, is there any turmoil in Youzhou?"

"My lord, Gongsun Zan recruits troops and trains the army. I'm afraid that in the coming year~" When he said this, everyone already understood the meaning. I'm afraid Gongsun Zan in Youzhou would lead his troops to attack if Lu Bu did not attack in the coming year.

"Order Gao Shun to defend Youzhou, and the rest of the generals will train the army."

promise!
"Huaiying, spring plowing is just around the corner. This year's tax will be halved, and the plan to encourage folk fertility must not be left behind."

promise!
After Lu Bu continued to perform official duties, all civil and military officials bowed their hands together to express their understanding that encouraging folks to have children has long existed.

Anyone who bears children can get two acres of official land to cultivate. The meaning of the word birth and rearing is different. If you give birth, you are born, but the survival rate in this era is still very low.

Therefore, after raising a family at the age of 15, the official land that the two mu of people have the right to cultivate will be settled on the child.

At the same time, the tax rate for official land with only the right to cultivate is also different. The tax rate for your own land is [-] out of [-], but for official land with only the right to cultivate, the tax rate is [-] or [-] out of [-].

"Feng Xiao, have you ever sent gifts to other princes?"

When Lu Bu suddenly asked about this matter, all the civil and military officials looked ugly. They saw that these things were all peerless treasures, how could they be easily given to other princes.

But Guo Jia gave a wry smile after hearing this, and sighed, "My lord, the princes from all walks of life have sent hundreds of seeds."

"Damn it, it's obviously a fetish of the peasant family in the Warring States period, but Liu Bian's son shamelessly said that it was bestowed by God, it's too shameless."

"That is, my lord should call on the princes of the world to attack it together."

As soon as he said this, all the civil and military officials were furious, and all of them were Jiangdong Liu Bian who actually dug his grave.

At this time, it was spread all over the world that Liu Bian had a secret army to explore and excavate the tombs of princes of various generations. These magical seeds were the tombs of farmers in the Spring and Autumn Period that Liu Bian dug.

Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were all obtained from the tomb, but they shamelessly said that they were given to him by the dragon from heaven.

Because of this, the emperor Liu Xie was even more furious in front of civil and military officials, and angrily denounced Liu Bian, who was pretending to be King Hongnong in Jiangdong, calling him a deceitful person.

At the same time, after Lu Bu sent these miraculous seeds to the princes in a fair manner, rumors were also spreading.

For three years, he, Lu Bu, had gone through three years of secret planting, and finally had a large number of seeds in his hands, but it is still far from popularizing the world, even if it is popularizing a continent.

It's not that you have corn seeds, and the people in the world can cultivate them with one sentence. How many seeds do you have?How many seeds can you reap in one year of planting?These are things that take time to spread.

Similarly, the reasons why Lu Bu threw out these things were because of Liu Bian, and the other was the threat from the grassland.

If only he had these miraculous seeds in his hands, he would definitely hide them and wait for the time to spread them. But Liu Bian has them in his hands. Once they are popularized and the food and grass under his command are plentiful, he will not be able to do logistics. up.

There is also the slow growth of the private population. One is that the fields are limited, and the other is that the taxes are too heavy. In a word, there is not enough to eat.

As for the so-called hygienic conditions, it was not the most important reason in ancient times. The hygienic conditions were not good enough, but people can't survive in this era.

"This year, all the seeds will be popularized and cultivated in official fields. Anyone who dares to steal will be killed without mercy. This matter will be handed over to Gongtai, Yuan Hao, and Zheng Nanru for supervision."

promise!
First popularize the lower official fields, and next year there will be more seeds cultivated. If this goes on for less than two years, the people under his rule will all get these magical seeds.

"Has the emperor's edict ever been delivered?"

"My lord, Liu Bei happily accepted the court's reward, but he asked the lord to send troops to assist him. However, Cao Cao deceived the people of the Han Dynasty by using Liu Bei's false appointment as a clan member of the Han family. He just said that he wanted to send troops to attack Liu Bei."

After half a year of experience in the imperial court, the young Chen Lin became a little more stable, and responded respectfully.

After hearing this, Lu Bu sneered indifferently, waved his hands disdainfully and said: "Cao Cao will not give up, but these are not important. The important thing is to let the people of Yanzhou and Xuzhou know clearly that Liu Bei is the son of heaven." Xuzhou Mu, that's enough."
