Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 34 [Win the trust of the people]

Jiaozhou, Nanhai County, the prefect's mansion in Panyu City.

Panyu City is not big, with only 6 people, but it can be regarded as the largest county town in Nanhai County.

Although this is a county seat, the county magistrate is also in charge of the county prefect Zhu Bing, so there is no county government office, and all official affairs are handled in the prefect's mansion.

Therefore, the prefect's mansion in Panyu City is also extraordinarily large.

"This prefect's mansion is not bad, it's spacious enough. I decided to change it into a general's mansion. What do you think?" Lu Bu entered the prefect's mansion, looked around, and looked at Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Zhicai, etc. beside him. Jia and others said.

"As long as the general likes it." Jia Xu was speechless, thinking: You have already decided, why are you asking us?
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia didn't speak, just looked around, they were also surprised, they didn't expect such a big and luxurious government office in such a small county.

"General, this prefect's mansion is a bit extravagant. If the general's mansion is built here, I'm afraid it won't be popular. People will think that the general is the next extortionate prefect Zhu Bing. I suggest that the general's mansion choose another location." Chen Gong suggested.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, thought for a while, and said, "Gongtai, what you said makes sense. But that would be a waste of resources. The general's general's mansion is located here, and it will also be the highest authority in Nanhai County and even Jiaozhou in a short time. In the future, if you no longer serve in the army, you will work in the General’s Mansion.”

"As for the people's hearts you mentioned, it's actually easy to deal with. Isn't the current prefect Zhu Bing extorting money here? The general will behead these scum in front of all the people. Then confiscate their money, food and land, and then divide the land. For the people who don’t fill the soil, the general who doesn’t grow food can still weigh for free, and those who really have nothing to eat can lend them for free.”

"Besides, we will collect taxes in strict accordance with the tax standard of [-] in [-]. In addition, we will deal with a group of local officials who are seriously corrupt and violate the law. This will naturally gather a lot of people's hearts."

"In a word, as long as this general treats the people generously, seeks benefits for them, and allows them to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, they will naturally follow this general."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu looked at the four of them and asked, "Do you think this is the case?"

Chen Gong looked suspicious, bowed slightly to Lu Bu, and said, "I didn't expect the general to have such a profound insight. I am ashamed. The general is so lucky for all the people here."

Guo Jia approached Xi Zhicai, bowed his head and whispered, "Now we can be sure that the rumors are not credible. Only by seeing with your own eyes and hearing with your own ears can you finally tell the truth. This Lu Bu and the one in the rumors are basically two people, and they are beyond my ability." Imagine."

Xi Zhicai replied in a low voice: "If my illness can be cured, it might be a good choice to follow him."

"Let's take a look. Who knows if it's a good idea, but I won't do it. Don't make a premature decision." Guo Jia disagreed with Xi Zhicai's idea.

"Really? I think Chen Gong has already agreed with Lu Bu in his heart. As for Jia Xu, he is too deep in the city, and he still can't be sure." Xi Zhicai meant not to miss the opportunity, because giving charcoal in the snow is far more precious than icing on the cake.

At this time, Jia Xu suddenly said, "I don't know what the general's next plan is?"

"Wenhe, why are you thinking so fast? We haven't settled the matter of the general's mansion yet. We have to complete the matter one by one. Don't worry." Lu Bu moved casually, while talking, he asked Jia Xu Leaned over.

Jia Xu's eyelids twitched a few times, cupped his hands to Lu Bu, and said bluntly: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, not to mention that the emperor himself is in danger. The general wants to build the general's mansion is just a matter of words. If the general has no further plans, then the next I hope the general will let me go, and I am worried about my wife and children in the Central Plains."

"Feng Xiao, I can't understand Jia Xu more and more. What does he mean? He's looking for death? It doesn't look like that either." Xi Zhicai whispered to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia stared at Jia Xu, and whispered back: "Maybe it's time to retreat. Jia Xu is also ambitious, but he is nearly half a century old. He needs a master with great talent and strong strength."

"Oh? He is testing Lu Bu? But Lu Bu is not easy to talk." Xi Zhicai said, if Lu Bu was easy to talk, they would not be forced to be brought here.

In fact, Chen Gong also cared about what Jia Xu asked, but he didn't ask because he didn't find a suitable opportunity.

Lu Bu was not annoyed, but smiled, and said, "Wen and you are great talents. It is fate that we met, and we will not let you go easily. As for your relatives, I believe that with your ability, they are in a difficult situation now. There is no crisis of time."

"I can promise you that within a month at most, this general will arrange for people to go to the Central Plains to pick up your relatives. Of course, there are other family members. After all, this place will be our home for quite a long time."

After speaking, Lu Bu paused, scratched his head, then looked at the crowd, and said, "As for the next step, there is a plan. After Zhang Liao and other generals return, this general will make arrangements. You can wait and see."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu's face became serious, without getting angry, he looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Is Wen He satisfied with this answer?"

Jia Xu was stunned, he could feel that Lu Bu was a little upset with him.Knowing how to advance and retreat is a major standard of Jia Xu's life, so he bowed and said: "I have offended you, general, please forgive me."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said nothing to him.Being questioned by Jia Xu like this, Lu Bu was definitely upset.

"Fu Yong, come forward." Lu Bu shouted.

Fu Yong, who was following behind, quickly stepped forward and stood beside Lu Bu, "General, what are your orders?"

He also thought that Lu Bu wanted him to attack Jia Xu.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, take He Chong, the captain of the prefect's mansion, Shi Zhuo'an, and his henchmen to Caishikou. At the same time, inform the people in the city and promise them to watch the punishment, and read the crimes of He Chong, Zhuo An and others in front of them. , and then beheaded for public display." Lu Bu was reluctant to part with Jia Xu, so he had to take out his anger on the others.

Fu Yong's eyes were awe-inspiring, "The last general takes orders."

"By the way, after this matter is completed, you are responsible for expanding the [Shen Bing Battalion] to 300 people within two days in accordance with the requirements of [Shen Bing Battalion] to recruit new soldiers in the army. This matter is very important, full authority I'll leave it to you, don't let this general down." Lu Bu suddenly thought of this.

Fu Yong's spirit was shaken, the next new era of [Shen Bingying] was coming, his heart was excited, and he vowed: "The end will guarantee the completion of the task."

"Okay, you go down." Lu Bu waved his hand and said.

Not long after Fu Yong left, Cao Xing hurried over.

"What happened?" Lu Bu asked Cao Xing, who was out of breath.

"General, something happened, and the last general doesn't know how to deal with it, so I'm here to ask the general for instructions." Cao Xing said after a while.

"Say." Lu Bu felt that it was not a good thing.

Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia stood aside and accompanied Lu Bu to visit the prefect's mansion.
