The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 56: Luo Gongqi divides the land, and Eunuch Li feels deeply

Luo Yuan was very polite to Li Zhong, which surprised Li Zhong. He was well prepared when he came.

Ever since the Ten Eunuchs caused chaos in the country, eunuchs have long been disliked.

But Luo Yuan invited him to drink, asked him to sit at the seat of honor, and even took out gold and beautiful jade.

"Eunuch Li, you have worked hard in serving the emperor. Take these things with you when you return!"

Li Zhong felt the long-lost respect, but then he declined and didn't dare to accept it.

"You look down on someone?"

Li Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "How dare you do that? Lord Luo, you don't know that the emperor is in trouble now, and eunuchs like me can't be powerful. Although I am by the emperor's side, I can't bring these things into the palace!"

"What?"

"Prime Minister Cao won't allow it!"

Luo Yuan laughed loudly: "I'll teach you, when you take the gift back, don't be sneaky, just show it openly so that others can see it. If anyone asks about it, just tell them directly that it's a gift from me. The Prime Minister won't mind it this way!"

"Ah? Is this possible?" Li Zhong couldn't believe it. If he did this, would he lose his life? Prime Minister Cao was not a reasonable person.

Luo Yuan said: "If you do this secretly and don't want anyone to know, then Prime Minister Cao will be angry and will definitely kill you. But if you go back and report to the Prime Minister and show him these gifts, you will be fine."

Li Zhong naturally wanted a gift, so he made up his mind and decided to give it a try. Since Luo Yuan was like this, there must be a reason for it.

After drinking a lot of wine, Li Zhong said, "Lord Luo, do you have anything to say to the emperor? I will help you take it back!"

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Please report to the emperor on my behalf. He should stop caring about state affairs and enjoy a peaceful and happy life. You can ask the prime minister for more beauties, land, houses, gold and silver. This way you can live forever!"

Li Zhong nodded quickly and looked at Luo Yuan with bright eyes. What Luo Hou said made sense.

Li Zhong stayed in Jiangxia for two days and saw the people busy. Luo Yuan personally presided over the distribution of land to the people, and everything was fair.

When Li Zhong asked, he was shocked.

The land distributed to the people in Jiangxia turned out to be the land of the gentry. Under the leadership of Luo Yuan, the local people killed all the Jiangxia gentry.

The people are more valuable than the emperor.

Killing the nobles is not a crime but a merit.

"Where is Li Da?"

Luo Yuan held a piece of bamboo and called for help. Soon a man ran out from the crowd and looked at Luo Yuan nervously: "Master, I'm here, I'm here."

"You killed two people from the Huang tribe?"

"Yes, one is a young master of the Huang clan, and the other is a servant of the Huang clan, two in total!" Li Da said with full energy.

He didn't dare to speak so loudly before. If he killed someone from the noble family, they would kill his whole family. But now it's a reward based on merit.

Luo Yuan said: "You have made contributions. This prefect will reward you according to your merits."

Luo Yuan came to a field and stamped his foot. Immediately, someone hammered a wooden stake into the field. Luo Yuan waved his hand and said, "From here, to the small tree in the distance, and then to that place, this piece of land is yours. Farm it well!"

Li Da was stunned when he saw the huge square piece of land. He was so excited that he cried and trembled: "I have land, I have land, thank you, Lord."

When Luo Yuan saw Li Da was about to kneel down, he grabbed him and said, "Remember, your land was not given to you by this governor. You won it yourself and it originally belonged to you. You must serve the land well in the future. The land will not treat you unfairly. If you serve the land carefully, the land will reward you. You are the laborer, and the laborer is the most valuable." Li Da nodded repeatedly and said fiercely, "I obey the orders of the governor. I must remember the governor's words. This land is mine. I will serve it well, just like serving my wife."

The people around laughed out loud, and everyone was excited. The governor really wanted to divide the land.

At this moment, these ordinary people felt like they were one person, and finally someone cared about them.

Luo Yuan only distributes land to those who have made contributions. As for ordinary people, there will naturally be prestigious people elected by the people to be responsible for distributing the land!
Luo Yuan directly recruited these prestigious people among the people as officials. Luo Yuan saw Zhang Shi, who was supported by the people and was actually recommended to Luo Yuan as a talent.

Zhang Shi was extremely proud: "Gong Qi was an accident."

"Not surprising!" Luo Yuan said with a smile: "Then I will let you be Cao"

Cao was an official position. Luo Yuanzheng appointed Zhang Shi as Min Cao, who was in charge of civil affairs, household registration and taxation.

Zhang Shi was surprised and doubtful, "You want to treat me as a commoner? This is a high-ranking official, aren't you afraid of what people in the world will say? I am just an ordinary citizen."

"Why, I dare to use you, and you are afraid again?"

Zhang Shidao: "I thought you were joking!"

"How can I joke about matters concerning people's livelihood?

Zhang Shidao: "You dare to use me, why shouldn't I dare!"

'

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a task. I'll attack Jiangxia and the people will suffer heavy losses. You'll organize the people, build villages based on the fields, repair houses, and build roads!"

"That would require a lot of money, and the poor people cannot afford to build houses."

Luo Yuan said, "How can I let the people pay? Jiangxia has millions of grains sent from Jiangdong, and there is also money from the nobles. I should spend all of it. The houses of the Huang clan and others can be distributed to the people to live in, or sold to merchants. In short, I should sell everything that can be sold, exchange it for money, buy materials, and build houses for the people. This is what I, Luo Yuan, owe them, and I should pay it back!"

Zhang Shi was deliberately testing Luo Yuan's intentions. Jiangxia now had money and food, and the Huang clan and other aristocratic families had been entrenched in the local area for hundreds of years. All this money was now in Luo Yuan's hands.

Whoever possesses this money can become rich and powerful, so who would be willing to give it to the people?

But unexpectedly, Luo Yuan arranged it without any hesitation.

Zhang Shidu was shocked by this kind of generosity. "Gongqi, you are so hard for me to understand. Don't you want such a huge sum of money?"

"I only have a mouth and a body, what do I need so much money for?" Luo Yuan said with a smile: "Don't test me, you idiot, just make the arrangements."

Zhang Shi nodded seriously. Luo Gongqi was really different from others. It was not that he despised money, but that he truly cared about the people.

Afterwards, the people of Jiangxia were even busier. They had never heard of it before, that the Lord of the Prefecture was going to build houses for the people.

Dividing the land is too much. They are already content with what they have, and they even want to build a new house.

It was at this time that the common people felt that they had met a saint.

Countless people knelt down before Luo Yuan, and some men were willing to serve as soldiers for him, but Luo Yuan didn't want any of them.

Everyone has gone to join the army, so who the hell is going to farm the land?
If you don’t farm, what will everyone eat?
Farming and being a soldier are both revolution!

Well, revolution is hard to say. It is not a popular term among Han people.
