Chapter 81: Merit

"It's finally time to go back."

Lin Xu, who was lying in the carriage, was very happy, he made a lot of money on this expedition, and he didn't say that he accepted Han Sui and Bian Zhang, Xu Rong, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were also left in Liangzhou to follow Huangfu Song to continue learning the art of war.

Huangfu Song also promised to tailor a class of troops for these two people, and the combat effectiveness was guaranteed, and as a reward, Lin Xu "endured the pain" and put the thirty-six strategies that had been prepared in front of the old fox.

And Ju Yi, Ma Teng and other generals were also stuffed by Lin Xu's hands. That's it, and it has ruthlessly harvested a wave of generals' favorability, the book of soldiers! It's still produced by the immortals! didn't say anything, everyone patted their chests on the spot and promised that if there is an order in the future, as long as it can be done, they will never refuse!

When Lin Xu revealed that he was very interested in Ma Chao, Ma Teng immediately said that he would send the dog to the free house in a few days, and Lin Xu was deeply satisfied with this, and this is what he wanted!

When Han Sui stared at Lin Xu, the thing laughed loudly, and said very arrogantly: This kind of military book is just a pediatric in his free house, and it can't be put on the table, and when you Han Sui arrives at the free house, you will naturally understand what it means to be truly broad and profound!

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding generals, including Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, their eyes were red, they had just looked at this military book, it was definitely a treasure, and it was enough to be an heirloom forever! Even if you are a little stupid, as long as you understand this 36 strategies, even if you can't become a famous general, it's absolutely no problem to become a good general.

That's it, I can't even get on the table in Xiaoyaoju, and in an instant, the generals feel that the military books in their hands are not fragrant. There are even some people with bright brains who have already thought about throwing their juniors to Lin Xu's side and asking him to teach them, after all, listening to the grapevine, this fairy lord likes to cultivate some qualified juniors.

"Why is the fairy so happy?"

To be honest, Liu Hong really understands that he can't, although he is quite happy to kill the Northern Huns, this battle is a big victory, even if he completely wears the title of Mingjun, it will be cool in the future, and when he goes to see the ancestors, he can also talk about his exploits with his head held high, but this seems to have nothing to do with Lin Xu, why are you so happy.

"Hehe, now that my big man has cleared two hidden dangers in one fell swoop, why are you unhappy?"

Lin Xu smiled brightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit

"Yes, Your Majesty, how about this year's amnesty? Now we can kill the enemy and win a great victory, how can we not celebrate with the whole world to show your majesty's grace! ”

"Well, that's right, this is a great goodness"

Liu Hongshen thought so, now he wants prestige and prestige, and he wants merit and merit, and then he will come to Poland to announce the amnesty to the world, and by the way, he will recount the heroic battle of the emperor, and vigorously win a wave of popular support, which is indeed a good idea.

"Since everyone is so happy, why don't you pardon the yellow scarf too?"

Lin Xu smiled even brighter, he had mentioned this matter to Liu Hong before, but at that time, Liu Hong was angry, and did not reply to Lin Xu positively, neither said pardon, nor said no forgiveness, and now while Liu Hong was in a good mood, Lin Xu planned to finalize this matter.

With Liu Hong's current prestige, he said pardon the yellow scarf, no one dares to fart! However, after hearing Lin Xu's proposal, Liu Hong frowned, and did not immediately agree, he was not the emperor who made decisions completely based on his mood before, he was now the Emperor of Shengming, so naturally he would not casually make such an important decision as pardoning the Yellow Turban.

"Your Majesty, what's your concern?"

Lin Xu suddenly felt a little sore when he saw Liu Hong's performance, and there were many bad things about mixing with the virtuous emperor, the most obvious thing was that it was not easy to fool, if it was before, on such a happy day, Liu Hong might have agreed directly.

"The Yellow Turban is a thief"

Liu Hong spit out lightly, and directly nailed the yellow scarf to the ground.

"Your Majesty, these yellow scarves can be said to be anti-thieves, but they can also be said to be the common people of the Han Dynasty who have no food, if Your Majesty pardons them, I can guarantee that they will become good citizens of the Han Dynasty again, and they will be able to pay a generous enough tax for Your Majesty."

If you want Liu Hong to relax, the best way is to give him enough benefits, or let him realize how much benefit this can bring him, and this, Lin Xu said, is no problem at all.

"Oh? How many? ”

Speaking of taxes, Liu Hong instantly became interested, for this expedition, he is now so poor that he has to be a panties, and the cost of this annual meeting, now he has a headache when he thinks about it.

"Fifty percent! Fifty percent of this year's agricultural tax! ”

Lin Xu looked confident, said that fifty percent is still conservative, you know, he is talking about this year's Han agricultural tax, this year there is no large-scale implementation of Quyuan plow, new farming methods, improved seed cultivation and selection methods, but next year, these high-end farming tools and methods will be implemented in the entire Han Dynasty, and the first batch to enjoy this benefit is the yellow scarf!

It's a mere fifty percent of the agricultural tax, which is trivial.

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes when he heard this, fifty percent! Not low.

"Of course, if Your Majesty is not at ease, you can pick out the elite soldiers in the Yellow Turban one by one, and place them at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and at the same time send Yulin to strictly guard them, and then arrest all the leaders of the Yellow Turbans, and you can put them in my free life, if anyone has bad intentions, this immortal will be able to see their hearts at a glance, and then kill them!"

Liu Hong was still frowning after hearing this, knocking on the window of the carriage with his hand, thinking carefully.

Although Lin Xu's method sounded very good, he felt that there was a problem in his heart, it was indeed beneficial to pick out the elite of the Yellow Turbans, first, he could select good people from them to supplement the battle of the Han army in this expedition, and second, he could eliminate the backbone of the Yellow Turbans, under the supervision of Yulin, they could not turn the sky. Third, why did these yellow scarves rebel, Liu Hong is actually very clear in his heart now, and it is a great achievement to be able to turn these people back into his Han people.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Lin Xu cares so much about these ordinary yellow scarves, if you want to say that he is compassionate and cherishes life, at that time, when Zahu rushed into battle, he saw Lin Xu shoot Zahu as a rabbit, and there was no trace of pity in his eyes except for excitement.

Since he was an immortal, or had been an immortal, shouldn't ignoring life be a basic attribute?

"I don't know why the fairy cares so much about these yellow scarves?"

If you can't figure it out, you can ask, if you don't understand, you don't have to talk about it, this is the style that Liu Hong has maintained for the past year, I want him to nod and persuade him first.

"This~"

Lin Xu was a little depressed, this is what he asked, am I born to cherish life?

"Your Majesty really wants to know?"

Seeing Liu Hong looking at him lightly, Lin Xu swallowed his saliva and sighed

"For Merit"

"Merit?"

Liu Hong was a little confused, he understands merit, but what does this have to do with merit?

"Your Majesty, the merit I am talking about is not the merit you think it is"

Lin Xu touched his chin and said with an unfathomable expression

"Sincerity is merit, goodness is virtue, the so-called merit is a kind of blessing that mortals cannot see, with the miraculous effect of avoiding disasters and prolonging life"

Liu Hong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked urgently

"How can we get such a blessing?"

"Varies from person to person"

Lin Xu smiled

"Ordinary people only need to be wholehearted and loyal to the Han, and if there is a great act of goodness that touches heaven and earth, they will naturally descend merit. And an emperor like Your Majesty needs to have enough merit for the people of the community to benefit the people in order to have merit descended."

"As for Ben Qi Xian, although he is not a member of the Han Dynasty, he is also a descendant of Yan and Huang, a descendant of China, and he needs to save the lives of my Han people and ensure the peace of my Han people, so that he can get a trace of merit and protect his body. For example, the yellow scarf, although he is a thief, is also a common man of the Han Dynasty, if he can be rescued and taught to become a common man of the Han family again, it will naturally be meritorious. ”

"I see, then I am now~"

Liu Hong's eyes flashed after hearing this, he had just defeated the invasion of the foreign enemy Northern Huns!

"Your Majesty is naturally possessed by a little merit now, and"

Lin Xu smiled and leaned over

"Your Majesty, you can know that your longevity was originally only five years left, and now there is a great merit for you to wash the essence and cut the marrow, and the longevity has already changed."

Liu Hong was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he really didn't expect that he only had a short life span of five years!

"What's the variable? Is it good or bad?! ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry"

Seeing that Liu Hong was a little anxious, Lin Xu's heart was a lot more stable

"Only for those who are about to die, Shouyuan will become a fixed number, like stagnant water, and now His Majesty's Shouyuan is flowing like living water, and Shouyuan is no longer certain, or two years, or ten years, or thirty years, it is impossible to determine."

Knock knock~

Liu Hong began to tap his fingers on the window edge of the carriage again, which was almost a sign of his thoughts.

Three quarters of an hour later

"If the yellow turban is forgiven, I may gain merit?"

"Naturally, the life of the Yellow Turban is in the hands of Your Majesty, if Your Majesty pardons the Yellow Turban, it is naturally Your Majesty's mercy and love the people like a son, and this immortal can also get some benefits from Your Majesty."

"In this case, I will be able to meet this year's annual meeting and grant amnesty to the world!"
