Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 390 Laying the Foundation of Hegemony
"My lord, please ask the emperor to order Li Yuan to withdraw his troops, and at the same time order Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack the rebellious Li Yuan, so as to have a chance to breathe."

Just after Jia Xu finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, paused and said again: "My lord, in the name of the Son of Heaven, I can call all the heroes in the world to attack Li Yuan, especially Yuan Shao from Wancheng."

"Okay, I will go to the palace now."

Lu Bu led all the civil and military officials and walked towards the palace. This is the benefit of coercing the emperor to order the princes. The grand excuse is under the emperor's edict, which is orthodox for the literati and the common people.

With the changes in Xiliang, the eyes of the princes of the world have gathered here.

Half a month later, not only Yuan Shao received the emperor's edict, but Cao Cao in Yanzhou also received the emperor's edict.

But Cao Cao was full of helplessness, and finally had princes who could be conquered by the emperor's edict, but he was powerless to attack.

Xuzhou Xinding, not only soldiers and horses, but also food and grass is his weakness.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only shout slogans to cheer, while Yuan Shao in Wancheng received the emperor's edict, but his eyes were full of calm.

Now he only has a strong city in Wancheng, and Chang'an is also close, but there are not many soldiers and horses under his command.

Yuan Shao was not attracted by the temptation in front of him. Jingzhou was his goal. Under Liu Bian's successive years of conquests, most of Liu Biao's troops were on the front line. He was waiting, waiting for the opportunity for Liu Biao to summon him to Jingzhou.

Li Shimin became famous in the Battle of Xiliang, especially Li Yuanba, who was unparalleled with a pair of hammers and had no opponent on the battlefield.

This is the case in troubled times. Unknown people are like dazzling shooting stars flashing in the eyes of the world. Similarly, countless heroes quickly disappear in the long river of history like shooting stars across the starry sky.

Lu Bu was extremely busy. Apart from sorting out government affairs every day, he spent most of his time conferring rewards. After Qingzhou and Youzhou were brought into the territory at once, the rewards for soldiers became a headache.

Under normal circumstances, this is not the case, but today is different from the past. Various epoch-making novel crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes harvested in the autumn harvest have become rewards.

The meritorious or heroic soldiers who died on the battlefield are counted one by one, and they have to be rewarded according to the size of their merits.

In the study room, Lu Ying stared carefully at the bamboo slips for review, but her face was a little hesitant.

"Father, the world is in chaos now, wouldn't it be better to hold these miraculous seeds in your own hands?"

Lu Bu, who was immersed in the examination, suddenly raised his head after hearing this, and saw a wry smile on the corner of his son's mouth.

"Ying'er, what should be done is just in times of chaos. Now the world has suffered the most damage to the people under successive years of wars. You know how the population of various places has dropped sharply due to the wars."

"Your worry is clearer for the father. Even if the father does not do this, the seeds of Jiangdong will be shed. Now, as my subordinates, we can still gain a good reputation."

Listening to her father's explanation, Lu Ying nodded. He understood these principles, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"Father, now that he is training in Hebei, if Cao Cao in the Central Plains gets these seeds, he may be even more difficult to deal with in the future."

haha~
Seeing that his son also started to relieve his worries, Lu Bu chuckled and nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, but it's a pity, Ying'er, you have to know that it took us several years for these seeds to become what we are today, even as a father now. Without the ability to fully promote it in the four states, we can only reward those who have made meritorious deeds."

"Not to mention Cao Cao~"

Sure enough, I thought that these crops would need to be planted and harvested batch by batch before they could continue to expand their influence, and how long did Cao Cao get them.

After Lu Yu realized it, she exclaimed suddenly: "Even if some seeds are revealed, at least there won't be three to five years for the princes of the world to spread to the whole territory."

"Up to five years! The seeds of Dahan's World will be fully promoted, and the father will gain unparalleled prestige among the common people!"

At this time, Lu Ying looked at her father adoringly, and only gave the seeds to the princes of the world, and after a few years, she would gain an indescribable reputation.

Lv Ying, who was motivated, was even more busy, and the father and son kept reviewing the memorials.

"Qingzhou Niu Er, if you kill seven enemies, you will be rewarded with a hundred seeds."

Voices kept ringing in the study room. The rewards received by ordinary meritorious people are calculated on a per coin basis. If you get it too easily, you won't feel much gratitude.

Only with the reward of hundreds or dozens of seeds, the people will be even more grateful when the autumn harvest is huge in the coming year.

Only by hard-won can we know how to cherish and be grateful to Lu Bu who gave them everything.

There are also many soldiers who were meritorious but died in battle, none of them were left behind, and their families received this reward. If they have no family members, then their villages can receive this honor.

There were other civil servants reviewing the memorial in the study room. From their fiery eyes, one could imagine how powerful the prestige from the army and the people would be after the soldiers received such great honors in the early spring.

It can be said that Lu Bu's move not only saves the financial problems of his rule, but also gains more prestige from the common people than before.

This sentence is not a lie, but a reality. Food is the most important thing for the people, but the same field can get more harvest.

"Villages such as Zhaojia Village in Changshan and Huatian Village in Julu actively join the army, and all of them will reward [-] seeds."

"The prefects of Yanmen, Shangdang, Jinyang, Julu, and Weijun have made great achievements in governance, and they will reward ten thousand seeds."

First, meritorious officers and soldiers were rewarded, and then officials from various places with outstanding government affairs were rewarded. There were also ordinary villages that did not have much political achievements, but had a lot of soldiers, so they were also rewarded.

Jia Xu, who also handles government affairs in the study, whispered in the young master's ear: "Young master, these village masters with a lot of soldiers will win the hearts of the people, and it will be easy to recruit soldiers at that time."

After hearing this, Lu Yu raised her head and looked at her father who was busy with government affairs. He didn't expect that his invincible father would be so proficient in government affairs.

But the protagonist in Jia Xu's eyes is better at winning the hearts of the people, not only in the military, but also in government affairs.

It is conceivable that there is no so-called gold and silver this time, but these magical seeds are a kind of encouragement and affirmation, and they are also rare treasures.

Officials who receive rewards are definitely proud of their faces, and they also get real things. You spend the gold and silver and you are done, but these seeds can be passed down from generation to generation.

Being affirmed by the superiors is an affirmation of their hard work, especially the common people, the high-ranking general Wenhou still remembers them.

Jia Xu could imagine that after the beginning of the spring, when all these rewards were distributed, the support for Lu Bu from all over the country would be absolutely unique.
