In order to prove himself, Lu Bu began to do what Liu Yu said, and Diao Chan also wanted a child very much, so he worked hard to cooperate.

Usually Lu Bu likes to drink with generals such as Dian Wei, Li Su, and Zhang Liao, but now Lu Bu has begun to quit drinking.

Lu Bu's abnormal behavior puzzled the other generals who were friends with him, but a few months later, after the news of Lu Bu's daughter-in-law's pregnancy came out, everyone linked Lu Bu's abnormality before.

Diao Chan's pregnancy made Lu Bu overjoyed, and the big stone in his heart was also put down. Lu Bu was happy, and took the initiative to ask a few friends who used to drink a lot of alcohol to drink together, and by the way, he also called Zhao Yun over.

It took so long for Lu Bu to ask Dian Wei and them to drink together, and Dian Wei and they wanted to know why. Everyone drank happily at Lu Bu's house, Dian Wei asked Lu Bu why he didn't drink for so long, Lu Bu drank a little too much, and inadvertently told Liu Yu that he couldn't drink if he wanted to have children. Dian Wei and they definitely don't believe it, how can there be such a truth in this world, everyone says that Lu Bu is making excuses. Being suspected, the drunk Lu Bu got angry and took out the book that Liu Yu gave him. After reading it, everyone realized that their lord still understood this. Dian Wei took the opportunity to keep this book for himself, but Lu Bu had already guarded against him and took it back.

Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be protecting the baby, what Liu Yu said in it must be effective. The generals suddenly sighed that Liu Yu knew so much, and he didn't know where he learned it.

And Liu Yu in the palace sneezed a few times under the nagging of so many people.

Liu Yu is very busy every day. After Liu Yu closed off the country, the external problems were temporarily solved, and the people also settled down. Liu Yu focused his work on managing internal affairs, and asked local officials to increase grain production and build water conservancy projects. After settling down, some internal problems in Liu Yu's territory began to be exposed. Some incompetent local officials were not discovered when Liu Yu was expanding abroad, and some corrupt officials were also dug up by Liu Yu. For these black sheep, Liu Yu will not be soft, he will be dismissed when he should be recalled, and he will not be polite if he should be killed. Every day, corrupt officials are killed, and their heads are hung in the city gates. The local officials who had ghosts in their hearts were frightened every day, and the entire officialdom under Liu Yu became noisy. Liu Yu knows that it is not possible to do this, people are selfish, corrupt officials cannot be killed, and he can only kill chickens and monkeys, and use strict measures to prevent them, so that these officials who want to reach out can consider the fate of being found when they are corrupt.

Liu Yu took this opportunity to find that most of the middle-level or grass-roots officials in his territory were actually children of the family. Liu Yu couldn't help but think that if this continued, the official position would be monopolized by the children of these families.

In the final analysis, this situation is due to the family's monopoly on cultural knowledge, and ordinary people can't recognize a few words. Liu Yuyou thought about making education universal, but that would make the children of the family who now occupy the dominant position rebel. Liu Yu's current strength is not enough to crush everything.

In the past, Liu Yu's education model in Bingzhou did not work in Luoyang and Chang'an. Liu Yu did not dare to use coercive means to popularize education, and if he was not careful, he was likely to be targeted by the Shi clan in the world and finally perish.

Fortunately, there are not many big families in Liu Yu's territory, and they are quite honest, Liu Yu pondered that when his strength reached a certain level, he would start to deal with this problem.

Aside from this issue, other policies are going well.

The grain output is much higher, God is also very powerful, it can be said that the wind and rain are smooth, and the people still have some surplus food after paying taxes to solve their stomach problems.

Liu Yu is very concerned about grain production, and although he does not know how to increase grain production, Liu Yu still understands the point of increasing peasants' enthusiasm for production. There is only one way to increase the enthusiasm of production in this era, and that is to reduce taxes.

Liu Yu set three-tenths of the taxes for his territory, which was almost the lightest tax in this troubled era, and it was almost the same number in the peaceful and prosperous era. The other princes are more than half, and such a gap makes the people continue to flee to Liu Yu's side.

Although the taxes are small, Liu Yu will not receive less grain. As soon as the food in the hands of the people increases, they will think about making their lives more satisfying, at least adding some daily necessities or production tools. So they would sell some of the grain in their hands, and in the end, all the grain was gathered in Liu Yu's warehouse.

There is nothing wrong with the progress of army expansion, in this era, a man needs to serve in conscription or go to the border to fight, so there is no problem for them to join the army. But the children of the family can find someone to replace themselves. The main problem in the army is that the number of mid-level officers is too small.

Liu Yu brought all the generals in the army to discuss, and finally they felt that the contest held in the Bingzhou army before would be the best way. The army advocates force, and only a strong strength can suppress its subordinates.

After Liu Yu thought about it, he felt that this method was good. But you can't do it every time. Liu Yu discussed it with Chen Gong and several other military advisors, and Chen Gong and others had a more long-term view than the generals, and they felt that the best way was to strengthen the implementation of military merits and use military merits as the basis for promoting their posts, so that the army's combat effectiveness would be strengthened a lot, and the number of middle-level officers would continue to increase, and talents would continue to emerge.

Liu Yu nodded in agreement.

In the following time, Liu Yu instructed Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others to sort out all the military exploits of officers and soldiers at all levels in the army to prevent the merits of the soldiers from being swallowed up. Liu Yu didn't dare to guarantee that all his subordinates were fair and selfless. After strict scrutiny, there were many things that engulfed military merits in Liu Yu's troops. Among them, the biggest official position is Song Xian, who is not treated by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu had long known that this Song Xian was not honest, but he didn't expect to start a military exploit that was greedy for ink. Liu Yu decided to deal with it strictly, arrested Song Xian, and prepared to behead him in accordance with military regulations.

Song Xian was half frightened to death, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Although Song Xian was a bastard, he got along well with his colleagues, and many generals interceded for him.

Liu Yu saw that for the sake of so many people pleading, he exempted Song Xian from the death penalty, beat him with a hundred military sticks, and demoted him to team rate. Song Xian didn't dare to disobey, and kowtowed to thank Liu Yu for his grace of not killing.

Liu Yu punished other generals who were greedy for military exploits, and the soldiers who were greedy for military exploits also received due compensation.

Liu Yu summoned the whole army and conducted a review in front of all the officers and soldiers, and promised that if there was any more embezzlement of military exploits in the future, he would be severely punished.

The vigorous and resolute approach made Liu Yu's troops more united, and the soldiers were also more dedicated to training.

Liu Yu also took the core generals to constantly shuttle through the barracks, talk with the soldiers, and eat in the same pot with them. The soldiers all felt that their prince was a very kind person, and the centripetal force of the troops had strengthened a lot.
