If ordinary people can't survive, they can't live honestly.

When Lu Bu saw Gu Yong and Mao Jue, they both nodded in agreement, and then continued to speak: "Therefore, I have such a few ideas to solve such a problem. ”

Gu Yong pricked up his ears and prepared to record.

Mao Jue also listened very carefully on the side, for fear of missing a little.

"The first is to recruit people with crafts from all over the country, log them on the roster, and then deploy them by the local county order, build all kinds of infrastructure, give these people with crafts high remuneration, and increase some incentives."

Since ancient times, agriculture has been valued over commerce, and although the status of craftsmen is higher than that of merchants, they are still at the bottom of society.

Lu Bu's move greatly improved the status of craftsmen, and even gave special care to these people.

Gu Yong frowned and said, "Since ancient times, the status of craftsmen has been humble, is it inappropriate for the lord to do this?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Zeng Yun in "Guanzi": 'The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, the stone of the country {pillar stone} people also. Liu An, the king of Huainan in this dynasty, also said in "Huainanzi Qi Customs": "It is a person who is not an official, an official who is not a business, a farmer who is a businessman, a farmer who is different from another state, who is the old farmer and the farmer's speech power, the scholar and the soldier's words and deeds, the work and the worker's words are skillful, and the business and the business are numerous." ’”

Lu Bu paused, and then said: "There is no distinction between high and low occupations, but the division of labor is different. The garments on which you and I are clothed are carefully sewn by tailors; Everyday tools are also made by craftsmen; The warriors were bleeding on the battlefield, and the weapons in their hands were also made by blacksmiths. Tell me, how can we live without these craftsmen? ”

Mao Jue nodded, agreeing with Lu Bu's words.

Gu Yong also frowned and fell into contemplation, what Lu Bu said, no one had ever said it before, and most people took it for granted that craftsmen were regarded as the bottom of society.

So when I suddenly heard what Lu Bu said, I felt a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it carefully, it was just like what Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu carefully observed the expressions of the two, and then said: "If the people's livelihood wants to develop, it is not enough for farmers to work diligently, but also to have outstanding talents from all walks of life to work together to achieve it. ”

Gu Yong also turned this corner at this time, although he was also a child of the family, but after this period of time, he dealt with the people.

His mind was no longer as high as before, so he was able to quickly understand and accept what Lu Bu said.

"What the lord said is very true, but I was a little narrow-minded before."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "It's not that Yuan sighs narrow-mindedly, but everyone in the world thinks so." We don't have to, we can't change the world's minds, and in our territory, we just do that. When the status of the craftsmen improves, they will inevitably build their homes with their hearts, so it will be very easy for us to develop and merge the state. ”

Gu Yong nodded seriously and recorded Lu Bu's words one by one.

Another point of this article is to appoint outstanding talents at the county level to official positions, be responsible for the management of their industries, and govern the work with work, so as to promote the development of various industries. Of course, these people are only able to make suggestions, and the final decision rests with the official officials. These people, for the time being, should become assistants. ”

Mao Jue nodded and said: "This method is good, it can supervise the development of various industries and is conducive to the construction of people's livelihood." And because these people have no actual decision-making power, they will not cause a strong backlash from the local scholars. ”

Gu Yong suddenly frowned and shook his head and said, "No, no." The officials are all controlled by the nobles, and the nobles are naturally superior to others, although this assistant does not have an official position, but if you want the nobles to coexist peacefully with them, it is difficult. ”

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, he was only thinking about how to speed up the process of speeding up construction.

Although he felt that it was inappropriate to promote these people to officials all at once, he ignored the reaction of the nobles in this regard.

Gu Yong reminded him of this, and he suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "What Yuan Si said is extremely true, so let this one be put aside first, and then come up with a safe way to promote it in the future." ”

Lu Bu paced two steps and continued: "Those idle people who have no skills are sent to various places to repair roads. ”

"Build roads?" Gu Yong and Mao Jue were both a little surprised.

"That's right." Lu Bu nodded and said: "Bingzhou actually has a lot of rich resources, but due to years of war, it has made this place chaotic, so there is such a thing as barrenness." ”

After a pause, he then explained: "Shini, that is, flint, coal, has very rich reserves in Bingzhou, although this kind of thing is relatively common in our Bingzhou, but it is extremely scarce in other places. In addition, gold, iron ore, grain, local specialties, etc., all need to be transported by roads. The road leads to business, businessmen are rich, and the people are rich. ”

"If the road is passed, the business will be rich, and the people will be rich." Gu Yong repeated this sentence while recording.

The idea put forward by Lu Bu coincided with the idea that he first saw Lu Bu proposed to rejuvenate agriculture through business, and he also very much agreed with the point of view in Lu Bu's sentence.

Lu Bu continued: "However, building roads is also a huge siege, first from the county town to the county seats, the official road will be renovated, it is estimated that this alone will take several years of work. ”

"My lord, the cost of building roads is huge, and our army is now overstretched, how to solve it?" Gu Yong asked.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Who said that we are poor, don't we have the rich man of the Zhen family, he has made a lot of money by using us, and it is always no problem to build a few roads for us." ”

Gu Yong's eyes rolled, and he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "If the Zhen family is only allowed to build a few roads, they will definitely not refuse." At that time, we will give them some more benefits, and other merchants and even the big families will definitely follow suit when they see it......"

"Hey, hey, Yuan, you're so treacherous." Lu Bu frowned and said to Gu Yong.

Gu Yong also let out a treacherous laugh.

Mao Jue saw the two of them like this, and there were black lines on his head, and these two people said that they were profiteers, and absolutely no one objected.

After laughing, Lu Bu spoke again: "The third thing, open a few large coal mines, the ownership is controlled by us, and the management rights can be handed over to the merchants or the big families, and you can negotiate the distribution of the income with Diao Chan." ”

Gu Yong frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Lord, this ownership is easy to understand, what does the management right mean?" ”

"Take coal mines as an example, coal mines and the coal in them belong to us. However, the mined coal can be purchased, processed and sold by others, so this series of behaviors is management, and the right to operate must be recognized by us before it can be granted. ”

"Oh, I see."

Lu Bu continued: "The last one is to encourage childbearing throughout the territory, and let all the women give birth to me hard. ”

Mao Jue nodded, and said with a sigh: "My Han has suffered a catastrophe, and most of the young and strong people have now lost most of it. If today's troubled times are a foregone conclusion, if this continues, I don't know when we will recover. ”

"Exactly. That's why I've always said that our population is our most important asset. There are a few rules, you listen to them first, and then add them to me. ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "First, amend the decree to change the decree of a woman marrying at the age of fourteen to the age of thirteen. ”

"Second, if a soldier of our army dies in battle, his wife can choose whether to marry or not, and the rest of the concubines must be married. The rest of the people, for whatever reason, are not allowed to have widows. ”

"Thirdly, if a woman gives birth to five or more children herself, the government will subsidize the food ration of one adult man each year at the beginning of the year, and the food ration of one adult man for each additional person."

After saying these three items, Lu Bu looked at Gu Yong and Mao Jue, and asked, "Yuan Si and Xiaoxian, what do you think of these three?" But what needs to be added though. ”

When they heard this, they both bowed their heads and pondered.

Mao Jue was the first to speak: "Lord, I suddenly remembered something. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Filial piety comes quickly. ”

Mao Jue replied with some hesitation: "I have met many peasant households whose families are poor and cannot afford to marry wives, and there are even cases where fathers, sons, and brothers share the same wife. ”

Lu Bu looked at Mao Jue in surprise, he was a good young man who had crossed over from the later generations, and it was the first time he had heard of such a thing, and he had come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty for a long time, but Lu Buzhen had not dealt much with the poor people.

So it's amazing to hear something like this.

Gu Yong also spoke: "That's right, especially in remote areas, such things are especially common. ”

Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "Yuan sigh, can you have a way?" ”

Gu Yong thought for a while, and then replied: "You can follow the previous reward and punishment strategy of the lord. ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and said: "Then add this article, those whose families are poor and cannot afford to marry a wife are not allowed to share wives." However, it can be reported to the government, registered in the register, and assigned by the government, and those who complete the task can be assigned by the government, otherwise they will serve for more than three years and less than ten years. ”

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Gu Yong and Mao Jue both nodded, feeling that Lu Bu's article was very good, which could not only encourage childbirth, but also improve the enthusiasm of lazy people.

Lu Bu saw that the two of them agreed with his idea very much, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Seeing that the two of them were covered in dust, obviously busy outside, they suddenly spoke: "Two gentlemen, how long have you not been home?" ”

Mao Jue then replied: "It's been a month. ”

Gu Yong was also about the same time and nodded.

Lu Bu suddenly asked, "Yuan sigh, can you get married?" ”

"Humble Jing is far away in his hometown, and he hasn't picked it up yet."

Lu Bu slapped his forehead, and then remembered that Yang Wei and Gu Yong had never brought their families with them when they came.
