The excitement of the group wedding lasted for a whole day,

As a result of these newcomers,

I'm about to go to Chang'an in a few days,

So after the excitement,

Everyone still left their time with their families.

But just as everyone is enjoying the pleasures of Lun,

Lu Bu was not so lucky,

After officiating at the group wedding the day before,

discussed with Lu Zhi for a long time,

Early the second morning, he hurriedly pulled Lu Zhi, Tian Feng and others to look for Jia Xu.

This is the first time Lu Zhi has come here and met Jia Xu,

When he learned that the person in front of him was Jia Xu,

Suddenly I understood a lot of things.

Lu Bu briefly introduced the identity of the two rao,

Jia Xu hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully:

"After the end of school, I entered Jia Wenhe and met Lu Zhonglang."

Lu Zhi also hurriedly replied:

"Mr. Jia, the old man is no longer a general, don't make fun of the old man."

After a pause, he continued:

"Although we haven't seen each other, but the lord has praised Mr. a lot in the past few days, and in the future, you and I will work together for the lord, please give me more advice."

Jia Xu was about to continue to speak politely,

Lu Bu hurriedly seized the opportunity to interject:

"Two gentlemen, if you are polite, let's leave it for the future. Now, Mr. Lu made a very important suggestion yesterday, and I would like to come over today to discuss it together. ”

At Lu Bu's suggestion,

Lu Zhi opened his mouth to give a brief introduction,

Jia Xu and Tian Feng also understood what happened,

Both of them stared at each other and began to think about the feasibility.

After thinking about it for a long time,

The two of them looked at each other tacitly,

Jia Xu was the first to speak:

"This plan is a great good!"

After Lu Zhi heard Jia Xu's praise,

Although he didn't show a smug look,

But when gently stroking the beard,

The corners of his mouth are slightly curved upward,

It shows the joy in his heart at this time.

It's no wonder,

Although Lu Zhi is famous,

and has a high prestige,

But after all, he had just joined Lu Bu's command.

But Jia Xu and Tian Feng have been following Lu Bu for a long time.

Lu Zhi will have to deal with the two of them more in the future.

So in the beginning,

It is important to make a good impression on each other.

Since I have dealt with it several times before,

Therefore, I still have some understanding of Tian Feng.

This man is upright and straightforward,

And because Tian Feng has always assisted Lu Bu on the bright side,

Based on the study of Tian Feng,

Lu Zhi was not worried about whether contact with him would create a barrier.

But for Jia Xu,

Lu Zhi was really worried,

It's not that Lu Zhi is too sensitive,

Rather, it is the instinct of a counselor.

Strategists are different from generals,

What they need to do is to give advice to the Lord.

And this is a suggestion,

On the one hand, you need to know your lord,

On the other hand, you need to know your colleagues.

In this way, while strategizing,

It can make the strategy more perfect;

If you retreat, you can protect yourself.

Just look at the strategists under Yuan Shao,

That's the most obvious negative teaching material.

Though there are many counselors,

And every one of them is outstandingly capable,

But because they have their own ghosts,

Eventually, the powerful Yuan Shao Group,

But it is difficult to escape the fate of destruction.

Although the root cause is that Yuan Shao himself is resourceful and indecisive,

But the intrigue of the strategists under his command,

But it is also an important reason.

These things may not be too concerned by Tian Feng,

But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand,

Not to mention Jia Xu, who is well versed in human nature, and Lu Zhi, who has seen through all the ups and downs.

Therefore, the two of them were very polite when they met in the first year.

On the one hand, it is indeed out of appreciation for Pets,

On the other hand, there are such considerations.

Lu Bu saw that several people got along well,

The heart is also a stone falling from the rain,

At this time, he said:

"Gentlemen, this is a simple matter. But there are a lot of difficulties in getting it to work. Therefore, I would like to ask all gentlemen to brainstorm and deliberate on this matter. ”

After a pause, Lu Bu spoke again and said:

"First of all, the matter of going to the Western Regions should not be delayed any longer. Therefore, soon after, Mr. Lu will lead the men and horses with Li Ru and Xu Rong. But this Hexi matter also needs to be planned in advance, can there be a way to get the best of both worlds? ”

Lv Buwan,

glanced around at the three of them.

Tian Feng frowned,

Glancing at Lu Bu hesitantly,

"My lord."

"Mr. Tian, please."

Taking a deep breath,

Only then did Tian Feng speak:

"Please forgive the official, whether the lord is doing this is a little too big. Nowadays, although the state is developing rapidly, the momentum is sufficient. But after all, our foundation is really a little weak. ”

After a slight pause, Tian Feng looked at Lu Bu's face again as usual,

Only then did he continue:

"However, with the current strength of our army, while conquering Yuan Shu, we also have to go to the Western Regions. Manpower is already stretched, and there is still a shortage of soldiers left to defend in various places. If we have to take the initiative to attack Hexi and Hetao at this time, even if we don't need to send a single soldier, the existing officials alone will not be enough to support the operation of these two places, and if we want to implement the law of tuntian, it is necessary to move a large number of people to it, but there is still a shortage of people everywhere in our annexed prefecture, how can we send people to that side? ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words,

Lu Bu slapped his thigh hard,

couldn't help but open his voice and said:

"Hey, people, people...... What is most lacking now is people......"

Lu Zhi was always paying attention to Jia Xu,

At this time, I found that the other party looked confident,

Sitting there without the slightest feeling of urgency,

I couldn't help but smile and asked:

"Mr. Jia already has a good plan in mind?"

When the other two heard this, they turned their eyes to Jia Xu,

find yourself in the spotlight,

Jia Xu unconsciously reached out and touched his nose,

Mr. Tian is right, the scarcity of population and talent is indeed the key to the problem that hinders the planning of the government today. However, in the following opinion, this matter is not difficult. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately came to his senses,

Hurriedly got up and asked:

"What's the best plan, sir, teach me quickly."

Lu Zhi and Tian Feng also looked at Jia Xu curiously,

Jia Xu said proudly:

"My lord, two gentlemen. In the past, the grassland barbarians plundered my border several times, have you ever remembered? ”

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu suspiciously,

I don't understand why he suddenly brought up this irrelevant matter at this moment,

But Lu Zhi and Tian Feng on the side showed thoughtful looks.

Jia Xu opened his mouth to explain:

"The grassland barbarians invaded our border from the front, bringing countless disasters to our Han people, on the one hand, the loss of goods and homes, and on the other hand, a very important aspect, they kept plundering the population of our Han Dynasty."

Picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip,

moistened the throat,

Jia Xu continued:

"We can do the same, and the problem will be solved immediately."

Lu Bu slapped his thigh and blurted out:

"Give back to the other in his way!"

"Huh?" When Jia Xu heard this novel words,

Dotted Zero:

"That's right, that's exactly what it means, to give back to the other in the way of the other."

Lu Zhi glanced at Jia Xu appreciatively,

He quickly added:

"And we can not only use the method of Huairou to obtain land and other resources from the barbarians, but also exchange goods for population. Those who are close to us can trade with them, and those who are hostile to us can suppress them by force, and capture their population for our use. In this way, the matter of population can be easily solved. ”

Tian Feng and Jia Xu nodded again and again while listening,

I didn't feel anything wrong,

However, Lu Bu twisted his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

Isn't this a resale of human beings?

Although it has been a long time since we came to this era,

But the descendants of whom Lu Bu was born and raised,

After all, it is a highly civilized society,

Don't be China,

Even in any country in the world,

Selling people is something that the world cannot tolerate.

and are felonies in the law.

Therefore, Lu Bu had never thought of this way before,

The way he considered to increase the population,

Nothing more than to increase the birth rate of newborns,

and through some policy regulation,

Attract people from outside.

The way that Jia Xu just proposed,

It is undoubtedly the most direct way to solve the population problem,

And Lu Zhi and Tian Feng didn't have any objections,

On the contrary, they are very supportive of it.

It's just that Lu Bu's heart is always awkward,

Although he is well aware,

In this era of starvation and food,

Buying and selling human beings in private,

It's been an open secret for a long time,

Those in power plundered the population by force,

This has become a matter of course.

But he never got over the hurdle in his heart.

Thinking back to the history of the Three Kingdoms,

By plundering the population,

Among the princes who have strengthened their own strength,

The most successful and effective should be Sun Quan.

The Soochow regime he established,

From the beginning of his reign,

The crusade and plundering of the Shanyue barbarians had already begun.

Three Kingdoms melee stage,

Due to its geographical location, Xishu

And when the princes are at war,

Rarely affected,

Therefore, when Liu Bei first entered Xichuan,

The population of Xishu at that time was in the millions,

The country of the house lives up to its name,

However, after decades of fighting,

By the time Xishu was destroyed,

At that time, the population was less than a million people.

Seven of the ten pavilions went to the pavilions,

It's miserable.

However, the corresponding Soochow,

But at the beginning of its creation,

The population is on the most disadvantaged side,

However, due to the barrier of the Yangtze River trench,

The Sun family vigorously develops the policy orientation of people's livelihood,

There is also the looting of the surrounding mountains,

In the late Three Kingdoms,

The total population of Eastern Wu was almost equal to that of the most powerful Cao Wei.

The same decades of time,

The population of Soochow has increased several times.

When Sun Jian, Sun Ce, father and son first conquered Jiangdong,

The disaster of the mountains there is especially worse than in the north.

Shanyue is the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty,

A general term for bandit-style armed groups in Soochow.

Because they tend to occupy the mountains as their base,

Therefore, they are also called "mountain people".

Their rise should be counted on the head of the Yellow Turban Rebellion,

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the beginning of the Yellow Turban, there was a great chaos,

There are Pan Lin, Peng Qi, Peng Shi, Fei Zhan, Zu Lang, Yan Baihu, Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Huang Ran, etc.,

Separatist forces have emerged in many places,

There are also some ethnic minorities among them.

For example, the descendants of the ancient Baiyue tribe,

There are also descendants of the Southern Yue Rao in the Qin and Han dynasties.

They are also mainly agricultural.

Planting agricultural products such as cereals and rice,

And because "the mountains come out of copper and iron",

And often "self-cast armor".

They are scattered, living in clusters, and are good at martial arts.

Relying on mountain insurance,

Forming armed groups,

Its leader Ying Shuai", "Da Shuai", "Zong Shuai", etc.,

often raid the surrounding villages and towns and even besiege the county seat,

to disturb the people of the neighborhood,

Even the people of many regions,

Because I can't stand it,

Even throwing himself into Yamagoe.

During the period of Sun Jian and Sun Ce,

There are many mountains in the territory, and the distribution is very wide,

became a henchman of the Sun Wu regime.

Even when Sun Ce initially left Yuan Shu to Jiangdong,

went to take refuge with his uncle Danyang Taishou Wu Jing,

was once attacked by the local bandit Marshal Zulang,

Nearly died.

Wait until five years of Jian'an,

When Sun Quan began to take power,

In order to consolidate power and plunder labor and soldiers,

Sun Quan dispatched the generals to pacify Shanyue.

When Jian'an was eight years old,

Sun Quan's expedition to the west of Huang Zu,

When the city is about to be broken,

The mountains are revived,

seriously threatened Sun Wu's rear,

Eventually forced Sun Quan to withdraw his troops.

After this,

Sun Quan began to intensify his attack on Shanyue,

And the next few of his terms,

will fight Shanyue as a top priority,

By the end of the Three Kingdoms,

Yamagoe has almost completely disappeared.

Lu Bu fell into the memories of this period of history,

Lu Zhi waited for three and a half hot,

I don't see Lu Bu's words,

I can't help but look at each other.

Tian Feng coughed softly,

Wake up from his contemplation,

Then he asked:

"Lord, is this possible?"

Lu Bu glanced at the expectant gazes of the three of them,

Gently tap your fingers on the tabletop,

After thinking about it again,

Finally made up his mind:

"Okay, let's do it according to this law."

Lu Bu can't change the general situation of this era,

And now most of them are aimed at the various barbarians of the steppe,

Even though there are many Hermes-Epitek among them,

But most of them have also lived on the grassland for a long time.

or even generations,

It's almost no different from the Hu people,

This made Lu Bu's heart feel a little better.

Now that you've decided to do it,

Lu Bu is no longer too entangled,

Then he spoke:

"The matter of land, you can go to the school in the name of the imperial court or my state, but the matter of the population, in order to prevent the backlash of those barbarians, let the Zhen family handle this matter on your behalf."

Jia Xu hurriedly spoke:

"The lord is wise, the Zhen family has often traded with the Xianbei clan in the past two years, and they are quite familiar with them. And it is also possible to carry out looting through the Xianbei people, so very good. ”

Tian Feng raised another question at this time:

"My lord, now that there is a solution to this population problem, for the time being, who should be appointed to Hexi and Hetao?"

Lu Bu had already planned for this, and said:

"Ma Teng was originally born in Xiliang, and had close contacts with the Qiang people, and this person was the Fubo general Ma Yuan, virtuous, loyal, and safe, and he went to Hexi, Hetao and other places, and he was the best candidate."

"What the lord said is very true."

Tian Feng first praised it,

Then he spoke again:

"But if Ma Shoucheng is in Fuhexi, Hetao and other places, then there will be no one in Xiliang, and the expedition to the Western Regions, Liangzhou is the rear."
