Lu Bu smiled: "This is very good, although the displaced people may increase the burden of various places, but as long as they do not come in large numbers, all places can still cope with it, and can increase labor for farmland production." Yes, yes, yes. ”

Gu Yong also laughed, but there was more of a wry smile in his smile: "Lord, this is true, but we are too short of officials in our state now, and the officials of the imperial court have withered a lot over the years due to wars and other reasons." There are no new officials appointed, and we don't have a lot of talent in our hands. That's the biggest headache. ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and said very confidently: "Don't worry, I have a plan in my heart about this matter. Tomorrow, I will issue another order to ask for merit, and on the other hand, I will be prepared, and when the time comes, I will inform you. ”

Although Gu Yong wanted to ask, Lu Bu had already blocked the words, so he naturally had no choice but to give up.

Gu Yong then spoke: "The lower officials are basically responsible for these affairs. Finance and other matters have always been in charge of the eldest lady and Mr. Tian and others, and recently the officials are really unskilled. ”

Lu Bu naturally knew the situation, nodded, did not speak, and looked at Mao Jue on the side.

Mao Jue immediately got up and replied: "My lord, the lower officials have been responsible for building water conservancy and cultivating wasteland. With the help of the soldiers and the common people in various localities, a total of more than 1,300 miles of canals were built, and more than 12,000 acres of wasteland were reclaimed. ”

Mao Jue looked at Lu Bu with some apprehension and said: "This is also thanks to the curved short plough developed by Master Zhang, which makes it much easier to open up wasteland, otherwise it would not be possible to do this level." Keel waterwheels have also been used extensively in the land of the Fen River Basin, which has improved the efficiency of irrigating farmland and is expected to be bumper this year. ”

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, very good." Mr. Mao, I have really worked hard for you, since you have served me, you have worked hard and made great contributions. ”

Mao Jue rubbed his hands, his dark face was a little red from excitement, and his whole face became even darker.

A smile of simplicity and satisfaction hung on his face.

Lu Bu sighed secretly in his heart, what kind of virtue and ability can he be, he can make so many outstanding talents work hard, and he can't give up easily for himself, otherwise he won't live up to these people's expectations.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for your efforts. When I came back this time, I had some ideas, and I asked the two gentlemen to help me think about them. Lu Bu said sincerely to the two.

Gu Yong and Mao Jue hurriedly said yes.

Lu Bu thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "When Zhang Liao retreated from Hongnong before, he had migrated the people of Hongnong and entered Guanzhong, and most of the people were placed in Chang'an. At that time, the person in charge of Chang'an City was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's former adviser, and after serving our army, I left him in Chang'an to take charge of the affairs there. ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, and Gu Yong and Mao Jue both looked at him with interest at this time.

They knew that Lu Bu would not say some nonsense for no reason, and they were all waiting for Lu Bu's next step.

"Li Ru implemented a method in Chang'an, called 'plough first and return later'."

"Plough first and pay later?" Before Gu Yong could react, Mao Jue first screamed in surprise.

Lu Bu looked at Mao Jue suspiciously, a little puzzled why he was so excited, and asked, "Mr. Mao, why are you so excited?" ”

Mao Jue's expression was very excited, his hands were a little shaky, and he said: "Lord, this method of 'ploughing first and then returning', the lower official heard this name, and felt that it seemed to be the same as what the lower official thought in his heart. ”

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Mao Jue.

Mao Jue can be said to be an expert in farming, and he served Cao Cao in his previous life.

It not only stabilized Cao Cao's rear, but also implemented many measures conducive to people's livelihood, which were later widely promoted by Cao Cao.

After Lu Bu crossed over, he made the best use of his talents, so that Mao Jue was always in charge of related things.

Mao Jue's conscientiousness did not disappoint Lu Bu at all, and he handled the things that Lu Bu explained properly.

And from time to time, there will be some whimsical ideas that solve a lot of practical problems.

Hearing Mao Jue say this at this time, Lu Bu was not surprised at all.

Really speaking, although Li Ru is also a generation of wise men, he has a specialization in the art industry.

In terms of military and politics, Mao Jie is definitely not as good as Li Ru, but when it comes to people's livelihood and farming, even ten Li Ru can't catch up with one Mao Ru.

Mao Jue saw Lu Bu giving him an encouraging look, and said, "Xia Guan had imagined before that there were too many displaced people now, and if they were allowed to buy land, they would definitely have no money. If it is like before, cash-for-work can solve urgent needs, but it will not last long. ”

After a pause, Mao Jue saw that Lu Bu and Gu Yong both nodded in agreement, so he continued with confidence: "Therefore, if you rent the cultivated land to these farmers first, and let these farmers make up the arrears when the harvest comes, you can get the best of both worlds." ”

After Mao Jue finished speaking, he looked at Lu Bu and asked, "Lord, is this different from Li Ru's method of 'ploughing first and then returning'?" ”

Lu Bu stroked his palms and laughed: "Hahaha, there is no discrepancy." Filial piety is a real genius, hahaha. ”

Mao Jue was even more embarrassed by Lu Bu's praise, rubbed his hands together and replied a little embarrassedly: "Xiaguan just chats with the farmers in the field often, so he has some ideas. ”

"Don't be presumptuous about filial piety. You have a specialization in the art industry, and you are an expert in farming and people's livelihood, and no one else can compare to you. Lu Bu waved his hand and said.

Mao Jue was moved in his heart, but he was not good at words, so he would only shake his hands and not dare to speak.

"Since Xiaoxian has a similar idea, let's try it in the resettlement of the displaced people this time, and if it is appropriate, it will be implemented in other areas as well."

The two nodded, and wrote it down.

Lu Bu stood up, paced two steps, and then spoke: "Although this method is good, it is not perfect. I want to keep improving. ”

"Please speak up, my lord." Mao Jue was most concerned about this matter and took the lead in speaking.

"On the basis of this law, we should divide the peasant households of these cultivated land, set up several horizontal lines, and distinguish them according to the amount of grain produced per mu.

Mao Jue nodded, found a pen and paper, and recorded everything Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu continued: "Set up some incentives and punishments, in line with the normal requirements, without any rewards and punishments, according to the provisions of the rent can be paid, if the task is overfulfilled, it can be appropriately reduced or reduced on the basis of the original tax, otherwise, if the task cannot be completed, then it needs to be increased accordingly on the basis of the original tax." You think that's good? ”

Mao Jue's eyes lit up while writing hard, at this time he was afraid that he would miss the words Lu Bu said, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Gu Yong patted his head and praised with a smile: "The lord is very good. In this way, the bad habit of many people will be repented, and the diligent farmers will be rewarded, and others will be able to follow suit, and in a few years, the state will surely become rich. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means." ”

Mao Jue finally finished recording and laughed loudly: "The lord is great for this law, and this law is great for good." The lord's words really made the subordinate officials wake up from a dream. Hahaha. ”

Lu Bu has been thinking about this question these days.

Although the land in Bingzhou is barren, in fact, there is still a lot of fertile land in Bingzhou, but because the population is too small, and there are often grassland barbarians in the border, the land of Bingzhou has never been able to develop.

Now that Lu Bu has subdued Xianbei, the grassland has basically stabilized.

Later, through Ma Teng and his son, he formed an alliance with various Qiang tribes.

It has also stabilized near the Hetao Plain.

And by sending Han craftsmen and experts from various industries, they went to these two places.

Helping the locals build their homes led to a farming life.

Although it is still only a small part, over time, the number of nomads who have adapted to farming life will show the momentum of wildfires.

After all, this is the result of thousands of years of proof.

Lu Bu just did everything in advance to speed up the course of history.

The use of the most commonly used reward and punishment system in all walks of life in later generations has improved this farming method to further enhance people's enthusiasm.

In fact, it is not to say that this method is so advanced, there are many similar methods in this era.

It's just that most of us haven't forgotten this aspect of consideration, especially the ruler of one side, which plays a decisive role in whether such a thing can be promoted.

Lu Bu himself proposed this method, naturally he will spare no effort to implement it, and good results will be achieved there.

Turning his head to look at Gu Yong, Lu Bu then spoke: "Yuan sigh, I also have a few ideas here, you can listen to them." ”

Just now, Lu Bu proposed to improve this method of 'ploughing first and then returning', and Gu Yong was also amazed, and he was also thinking about whether he could apply it to other aspects.

Hearing Lu Bu talk about it at this moment, he hurriedly cheered up, and also learned from Mao Jue's appearance, took the book and brush, and looked at Lu Bu with a stern look.

Lu Bu was also a little amused when he saw Gu Yong's appearance, he smiled and said: "Now that the number of displaced people in various places has increased, although it will not cause chaos in public order for the time being, it will have many adverse effects in the long run. ”

Gu Yong and Mao Jue both nodded in agreement.

Once the number of idle people in society increases, these people will inevitably pick quarrels and provoke trouble because they do not have enough to eat.

The most impressive example for them is the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, the root cause of which is the imperial court, which caused the people to live in poverty.

The common people can't survive anymore, how can they live honestly. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Literature of Lu Bujie of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
