The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 809 New Order (4000 words)
A few days later, notices were posted in various counties and towns.

The government sent yamen servants to the market with a large population flow, posted a notice on the posting board in front of the main road, and then knocked the gong a few times with "boom, boom, boom", attracting a large number of people to stop and watch.

A lot of words were densely written on the notice, and the common people at that time could not read, so they could only nod their heads and ask the yamen servant who posted the notice: "Master, what is written on it?"

The yamen servant glanced at the man, and replied loudly: "This is the new tax policy set by the General, and it will be implemented in all counties and counties in Yanzhou."

Hearing this reply, the common people all had sorrowful brows on their faces. They had just captured Yanzhou, and they were going to be attacked again.

Some irritable men even yelled directly, saying loudly to the people around them: "It's fine if the general doesn't sympathize with us, and he made such a dirty trick as soon as he came here, it's clear that he wants to drive us to the end Forced on the road!"

"That's right, we can barely feed ourselves, so how can there be so much food to hand in!"

"Last year, dozens of people starved to death in our village!"

The common people started talking about it, and obviously in their eyes, this notice became Lu Bu's means of exploiting and oppressing them.

Because before this, the government did not do less of such immoral things.

"Everyone is yelling and coaxing something, I can see clearly even the illiterate!"

Hearing the rumors from the people, the yamen servant roared fiercely, and the people immediately fell silent.Then the yamen servant tapped the wooden board with the notice with his fingers, followed the words, amplified his voice and announced one by one:

I—Lü Bu, the Great Sima and General of the Dynasty, have just arrived in Yanzhou. I see that the people are poor, the people are in dire straits, and there are countless people dying of famine. Therefore, I make the following adjustments to inform the people in the territory.

For those who have old people and young children in their families, [-]% of the imperial tax will be exempted within two years.

Those who have a son in the family who join the army will be exempted from [-]% of the tax.

If a woman marries a soldier of the Lu army, another [-]% of the tax will be exempted.

In addition, for all the people in Yanzhou, the land leased from the aristocratic family will be reduced to [-]% of the tax.

wow~~~
The people were in an uproar, and the expressions on their faces were full of disbelief.

If this is true, that general is simply a bodhisattva who saves suffering!

Of course, there were also a few suspicious people who held a negative attitude and tried to disturb the hearts of the people loudly: "I don't believe that the general has such good intentions! There is no good person in office, there must be a conspiracy!"

"Hey, don't interrupt, let the servant finish reading the rest!"

The yamen servant's finger was only halfway through the notice, and there was still a lot of content left to read.

The common people couldn't wait to listen to the following content, and held their breath, lest they miss half a word.

The yamen servant took a breath, and then read:

In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and wars have occurred everywhere, resulting in a large number of casualties and loss of people. Therefore, I have decided to implement population rewards within the past ten years.That is to say, if a woman gives birth to a boy, she will be rewarded with two stones of grain and a chicken or duck; if she is a daughter, she will be rewarded with two stones of grain, a piece of cloth, and a pig.

If there are elderly people over the age of 50 and children under the age of ten in the family, they can go to the local government office with their household registration to receive free one-month rations.

another,
After half a month, I will hold a large-scale blind date event outside Yanzhou City for the officers and men of the army. All unmarried women or widowed women are welcome to participate.

After the yamen servant finished reading, the people were too shocked to speak.

If my daughter can marry a soldier of Lu Jun and give birth to a baby at that time, wouldn't it be equivalent to exempting from taxes and giving food to chickens and ducks!
The sky is really falling!

"I'm not dreaming! My son, give me a hard grip!" In the crowd, a simple, dark-looking man said to the little boy beside him.

The little boy was wearing thin clothes and looked very thin. He was about seven or eight years old.Hearing his father's instructions, the little boy was also very obedient, stretched out his little hand and grabbed his father's thigh hard.

hiss~
The little boy's father gasped in pain, put his hands on his son's shoulders, showing his missing yellow teeth, and shouted excitedly: "This is not a dream, this is not a dream!"

Looking at his appearance, he is even happier than marrying a wife.

"Son, let's go, let's go home!"

"But we haven't sold out the firewood we cut..."

"Sell a ball of firewood! Let's go back and get the registered household registration certificate, and go to the government to get food! Tonight, we two, father and son, don't have to chew bark anymore!"

"Really?" The little boy's eyes lit up instantly.

"When did my father lie to you!"

Long live the Great General!Long live the Great General!
The man carried his son on his back, shouted all the way, and gradually ran away like a madman.

It is touching and sad to watch.

After repeatedly asking the yamen servants for confirmation, the people in the market quickly dispersed, completely forgetting the initial doubts and slaps in the face, thinking about what kind of preferential policies they could enjoy.

With this kind of good deed, the common people call their friends and tell their friends, word of mouth, in the land of Yanzhou, it is spreading at an extremely fast speed.

After dusk, there was still a long queue outside the gate of the county government in Yanzhou City.

Dozens of yamen servants are distributing food, and a scribe with the appearance of a civil servant holds a pen in his right hand and sits at the desk, checking the household registration certificate handed in. If he meets the requirements, he will make a circle on the household registration book, and the yamen servant behind him will Submit the weighed grains.

Although there was a long queue, the faces of the people showed no trace of impatience, instead they were full of anticipation and excitement, and proceeded in an orderly manner.

Lu Bu and Guo Jia changed into their regular clothes and came slowly.

Coming to the back of the long dragon, perhaps it was by fate, Lu Bu saw the old farmer he met in the field a few days ago, and said hello, "Old man, what a coincidence!"

When the old man saw Lu Bu, he was obviously quite surprised. After bowing and saluting, he respectfully replied, "My lord, it's you."

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Bu asked the question knowingly, and wanted to hear the opinions of the people on the new policy.

The old man was a little cautious, and said humbly: "The general issued a new order, all elderly people over 50 years old and children under ten years old can come here to receive food."

Lu Bu showed some disbelief, "Is there really such a good thing?"

The old man nodded his head firmly, it was absolutely true.

"This general is really our savior!" Behind the old man, a man holding his own child was deeply moved.

There are mostly young and strong men who line up here. They are afraid that their children or fathers will not be able to carry the food, so they come with them.

"Who said it wasn't? I always supported General Cao before, and hoped that the general would retreat in defeat. Now that I think about it, I'm really heartless and heartless!" Someone said in an annoyed tone, repenting for their original thoughts.

The man next to him seemed to have had a similar experience, and he sighed and said: "Rumors have spread outside, saying that the general is bloodthirsty and violent, and his cruelty index is no less than that of Dong Zhuo back then. The moment I learned that Yanzhou was broken, if my mother was not seriously ill In bed, I almost fled to Yuzhou with my whole family..."

"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise, how could you get these living grains!" The man next to him said heartily.

The man nodded in agreement, and at the same time expressed his admiration for the general who had never met before, and said with great emotion: "In the world, it is difficult to have such a kind heart as a general! After receiving the food, I will go home Let's set up a longevity monument for the general, and bless him with a long life."

The common people at the bottom are like this. They don't know a lot of words, and they don't understand the principles of family, country and world, but they will think of whoever treats them well.

The long line moved forward in an orderly manner. After chatting with the old farmer for a while, Lu Bu planned to return home.

At this time, an impatient voice came from the front: "Okay, that's it for today, those who want to receive food, come back tomorrow!"

Hearing these words, the common people panicked and begged together.

"Master Guan, my family has been out of food for several days, and I only count on this morsel to survive. Please give us some more time!"

"That's right, please!"

Facing the pleadings of the people, the county secretary who wrote the pen was unmoved at all, waved his hands impatiently, and sneered in a shrill voice: "You didn't distribute food before, didn't you live well?" Now you can receive food, but you say you can't survive, you untouchables are hypocritical!"

The common people dared not speak out, fearing that if they offended the food delivery official, they would never receive food again, so they could only swallow their anger in aggrieved manner.

In order to beg for food to survive, some people knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged repeatedly.But the county bureau didn't even bother to take another look, and scolded the officers who couldn't bear it: "Why are you standing still, why don't you move all these grains, tables and chairs back to the county government."

The yamen servants couldn't afford to offend the county boss, so they had to carry the grain.

"My lord, it's not too late now. How many people are counting on food to survive. What is the difference between you doing this and disregarding human life?" Lu Bu came forward from behind, with his head held high.

The county bureau looked at Lu Bu up and down, and he was no different from ordinary people except that he was taller, so he taunted: "Who are you? Do you want to stand up for them?"

Lu Bu glanced at Xian Bo, his cold gaze made the latter shiver unconsciously, and his back felt cold.

"I don't know who I am, but I do know that the court and the people are supporting you. If you are in your position, you should manage your own affairs. Otherwise, how are you different from a beast?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice, and stepped forward. two steps.

In a large crowd, being so reprimanded by people, the county boss who has a good family background felt that he had lost face, blushing and shouting at the yamen servants around him: "Come on, let me take down this lunatic who insulted the imperial court official!" !"

More than a dozen Gua Ya beside him made a gesture and stepped forward.

At this moment, an anxious shout suddenly sounded from the gate of the government office: "Stop!"

Everyone looked around and saw the county magistrate Wang Li running towards them in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.

Wang Li couldn't be more clear about this tall figure with his back turned to him.

I remember that when Lu Bu first took over Yanzhou, he called all the county guards and magistrates from all over the country to Yanzhou city, and carried out a division of power and interests.

Those who were willing to work with him continued to go back to serve as county sheriffs and magistrates after signing up for a petition. At that time, someone sang against him, but they were dragged out on the spot and had their heads chopped off.

Therefore, Lu Bu left a vicious impression in the hearts of Wang Li and others.

Trotted up to Lv Bu, Wang Bi bowed his hands in salute, almost bent his waist to the ground, and said in panic: "Your official, Wang Bi, is late to greet you, please forgive me, General Sima."

To everyone present, this sentence is no less than a thunderbolt from the heavens, a bolt from the blue.Everyone was stunned at this moment.

Great Sima... Great General...

Xian Bo's mind was shocked, he staggered back two steps, looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, then his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the spot.

All the people knelt down on the ground, nervous and uneasy, especially the few men who had talked to Lu Bu carelessly just now, they were even more frightened, almost buried their heads in the soil, fearing that they would offend Lu Bu with their words and kill them.

"You all get up!"

Lu Bu raised his hand, glanced at the comatose county official out of the corner of his eye, and said to the people in a loud voice: "There is such a black sheep, who brings shame to the court and the government. I apologize to everyone!"

As he spoke, Lu Bu bowed and cupped his fists, and made an apology to the people.

"You mustn't do it, General. How dare we, the lowly people, accept such a great gift! What's more, you issued a new order and put yourself in our shoes. We will remember this kindness in our hearts for the rest of our lives!"

The common people spoke out one after another, expressing their gratitude to Lu Bu in their hearts.

"As a token of forgiveness, I will distribute food to you next."

As he spoke, Lu Bu rolled up his sleeves, scooped up the wheat and millet from the wooden ladle he took from the yamen servant, put them into cloth bags and handed them to the people.

Lu Bu did this, so the county magistrate Wang Bi dared to sit idle, kneeling on the ground, and took the place of the fainted county book with a pen to record.

Lu Bu's act of being close to the people moved the common people into a panic.

Two hours later, the moonlight climbed up the branches.

Walking on the way back to the mansion, there are two black shadows reflected by the moonlight on the Qingshi Road, one high and the other low.

I believe that within a few days, the story of Lu Bu punishing the evil officials and personally distributing food to the people will soon spread throughout Yanzhou.In this way, Lu Bu's prestige will also rise rapidly, and the people's hearts will be strengthened. It will be much easier to govern in the future.

The only thing that annoyed Lu Bu a little was that the new order had just been implemented, and he dared to be so negligent under his nose. One can imagine the situation in other places.

After going to the barracks, Lu Bu ordered Song Xian, Hou Cheng and other generals to lead their soldiers to other counties and counties to take charge of supervision.

Back at the house, it was already dark.

Seeing Lv Bu come back, Chen Wei stepped forward and reported, "My lord, Patriarch Zhou from the east of the city has been waiting for you in the lobby for a long time."

This Patriarch Zhou is the uncle of the County Bo.

(I saw a book friend in the book city asking Huang Fujue a question. The author has not forgotten this. As for when he will appear again, there is a definite number in the dark.)
　Thanks to the series of rewards from the book friend 'There is sugar in the bowl', as many as [-] coins. The sudden bewilderment made me feel like I was dreaming in the fog, which is hard to describe!

　　If you treat me like a gentleman of the country, you will be rewarded by the scholars of the country in the future.
