Lu Bu conquered Sili, Yanzhou and other places, and passed through thousands of miles of red land, but it is a pity that the fertile plains of the great land were abandoned because no one cultivated, and the land of the Central Plains should have been outstanding people, and heroes came out in large numbers, but the people who saw it in this expedition were only the old and weak women and children who stayed behind, and it can be seen that under the war for many years, even the prosperous and rich Central Plains was not spared, and sighed: "What good plan do you have?" ”

Wang Ji said: "In the past, King Goujian of Yue returned to his homeland to try his courage and swear to avenge the death of the country, but at that time, the people of Yue withered and were far less powerful than Wu. The king of Yue thought that he was not as good as the sages of ancient times, and he could make the people of all directions take refuge one after another, so the king of Yue issued a good government to support the people, which made the population of Yue surge and laid a solid foundation for the later defeat of Wu. Why don't the princes follow the example of the king of Yue, in order to support the people and settle the land, and in time they will be able to reverse the dilemma of a weak population. ”

Lu Bu knew a little about this matter, but he had only dabbled in it occasionally in his previous life, and he had never verified and explored it, but he didn't know too much about it, and asked, "Oh? What is unique about the politics of Goujian, Zhongxuan does not guard against the future. ”

Wang Wei said: "The government of the king of Yue is quite similar to the government of raising the people when the prince was merging the state, but it is more refined. First of all, the king of Yue advocated early marriage and early childbearing, and for men over 20 and women over 17 who were unmarried, their parents should be held accountable. Secondly, there are rewards for each birth, those who give birth to a boy will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a dog, those who give birth to a woman will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a piglet, and those who have twins will be provided with rations by the government, and those who have multiple births will be provided by the government with wet nurses. Thirdly, every time a pregnant person is about to give birth, he must first report to the governor's office, and the government will provide a doctor and a stable wife, which greatly improves the survival rate of newborns. ”

Lu Bu sighed when he heard this, and he was really thoughtful than he patted his head, but he listened to Wang Ji continue: "Then there is, the old man can't marry a young wife, and the old woman can't marry a strong man, so as not to sit on the rich and enjoy it." There is also a display of the bereavement pension for the fallen soldiers, and those who have a son-in-law who have died in the family will be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and those who have a son-in-law will be exempted from taxes for three months, and they will be buried with the rites of a son-in-law. As for the government's contribution to support the elderly, widows, and the disabled, it coincides with the monarchy. The above good rulers may be able to distinguish the good from them, and use them for their own use, and the blessing of the people at that time. ”

After listening to Wang Ji, Lu Bu was relieved in his heart, after all, the world is afraid that there is no goal, and when there is no goal, he is naturally helpless, once the goal is set, there are thousands of ways to deal with it, so he said to Wang Ji: "Zhong Xuan has a wide range of knowledge, and when you are a good minister who governs the world, I will make you also the captain of the school, and the governor of Guanzhong, Yanzhou and other places of people's livelihood matters." ”

Wang Ji didn't expect Lu Bu to hand over such an important task to himself, and said happily: "Wang Ji is young, I'm afraid I will miss the important matter of the prince and the prince." ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Although Zhong Xuan is bold to do it, the prince can accompany you again, if there are any omissions, I will naturally take care of it for you, you just have to realize your ambitions." ”

Everyone congratulated Wang Ji on his appointment and praised him.

Later, Sima Lang said: "To get back to the point, although the prince and the prince resigned the duke's reward, but still let many people criticize it, I heard rumors that the scholar Mi Heng in Mengjin raved sarcastically about the prince, saying that the prince and the prince for His Majesty in Anyi to build a large number of buildings, build a palace, work the people and lose money, and reckless soldiers, for their own selfish interests, attack the princes of the world, so that the people are displaced. Everything he did was for fame and wealth, and now he is just retreating to advance and win people's hearts, and there are many excessive words, which are really difficult to say. ”

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Mi Heng knows a lot about me, it is said that although this person is straightforward and fast-talking, his words are sharp, but he also has some talents, so let's do it, since he is so worried about the country and the people, let him be Wang Ji's deputy, go to the division with him, and contribute to the people he is worried about, don't let him live up to his ambition." ”

Sima Lang was stunned for a moment, originally thought that Lu Bu should be furious when he heard about this, and he would take Mi Heng down to punish him, but he really didn't expect that Lu Bu was not only not angry, but reused Mi Heng, this central thought was really unpredictable, and he wondered: "Mi Heng has more disrespectful words, why should the prince still reuse him." ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "He is not wrong, I have been fighting for many years, but I have suffered a lot of losses, and it is true that I have lost money and money, and I have to blame him, as long as he is not a person who intends to make trouble and intends to disturb the government, he can be used by me, as long as he has the heart to contribute to the society." ”

Everyone knew Lu Bu well, but they were also impressed by his mind, and said in unison: "The prince and the marquis are elegant, which is a fortunate thing for the society." ”

Lu Bu waved his hand, not receiving such compliments, and said: "In the battle with Cao Cao, our army lost countless soldiers and horses, and more than half of the war horses, we must contact the Huns as soon as possible and exchange them for enough war horses as war preparations, otherwise if there is a war in the future, our army will face a situation where there are no war horses available." ”

Chen Lin said: "This matter is easy to do, and it can make the Shuo Fang Taishou Guo Yan in Jingbian immediately contact the king of the Huns and exchange it for enough war horses." Now that the Huns are short of food and our army is short of horses, they can complement each other, and it is not difficult to think about it. ”

Lu Budao: "Since this is the case, then let Guo Yan contact the king of the Huns as soon as possible, without further ado, military affairs are the foundation of our body, and we must not be neglected." ”

The deliberations were not until noon, when the ministers dispersed.

Yan Xiuli took advantage of the gap and asked: "Ruyi is now in the age of peace, and it is imminent to talk about marriage, if the things that the husband is worried about are not planned as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will come true." ”

Lu Bu frowned, and then remembered that the emperor seemed to have some thoughts about his daughter, and now that the throne had been vacant for many years, if the emperor was selected from important ministers, it would be justified. Ruyi has a free and easy temperament, I am afraid that it is not suitable for making a living in the palace, not to mention that Lu Bu didn't want her to enter the emperor's harem, so he asked: "Madame has a favorite candidate, if you can get engaged early, you can make the emperor die." ”

Yan Xiuli said: "My husband has always been shrewd, how can he be confused in this matter, treating the symptoms must cure the root cause, and this matter can only be thought about from the source." The emperor is young, naturally admires beauty, why not choose a number of beauties from the children of the ministers, in order to fill the palace, if the emperor can match, we can sit back and relax. ”

Lu Bu thought about it, why didn't he think of this, there are countless wives and concubines among the ministers, and there are probably not a few women of appropriate age, if he can be selected as the master of the harem, he is afraid that it will make the ministers flock to him, so he smiled and said: "Madame is really wise, and she is worthy of being the female middle manager Zhong Leyi." ”

Yan Xiuli saw him making fun of herself, took a sip, and said: "Seriously, I have been exploring for a long time, and I found that Zhang Yingying, the daughter of General Zhang Liao, and Chen Xuan, the daughter of Chen Qun, the palace sacrificial wine, are all good candidates, Zhang Yingying is beautiful and stable, quite like her father, and Chen Xuan has been influenced by family style since she was a child, and she is also a rare virtuous girl." If the husband mediates it, it will be a matter of course. ”

Lu Bu looked surprised, turned Yan Xiuli's face over, and looked at it carefully: "You have already done so much work, this thought is really terrifying." ”

Yan Xiuli pushed away Lu Bu's big hand and sneered: "As a mother, you naturally have to calculate for my son, just when you are generally idle, but you end up chic, but in the end, won't it be bitter for us?" ”

Lu Bu was speechless for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay, just follow Madame's words, but at this time, you still need to plan carefully, and you can't be in a hurry, so as not to make a trace and be self-defeating." ”

In the following months, Lu Bu acted in accordance with the proposed order and promulgated the policy of supporting the people, which made the people praise, especially the fact that there was an official subsidy for giving birth to a baby, which was really an ancient anecdote.

Lu Bu's capital is far more abundant than that of Goujian, the king of Yue, and the reward is not only two pots of wine and pigs and dogs, but also a child born regardless of gender, it is still like a state, rewarded with two coins, and a dairy sheep last time. The people of Guanzhong, Yanzhou and other places rushed to create people, lest they miss the opportunity, and the people of other states and counties heard the news and came to Guanzhong and Yanzhou to produce under the rule, which became a momentary news.

Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao's daughter Zhang Yingying, and Chen Qun's daughter Chen Xuan entered the palace at the same time to fill the emperor's empty harem. Zhang Liao, as a general, has the merit of protecting the emperor, and the emperor saw Zhang Yingying's beauty like a flower, where else did he think of anything else, so he named Zhang Yingying as the queen and Chen Xuan as a nobleman.

Lu Bu finally got a matter on his mind, and when he was happy, there was a disaster coming from Shuofang.

The Huns saw that the state was developing vigorously, and the grain and grass were piled up, so they had other ideas in their hearts, and they were unwilling to buy war horses at the previous price, and said that the Han Dynasty wanted to exchange their precious war horses for things as lowly as sand, which was really too deceitful, and threatened: If the previous price is not doubled, the transaction will not be discussed.

How could Guo Yan be willing, although he had abundant grain and grass, but it was not blown by the wind, and he negotiated with the Huns several times, but did not make progress, but there were some discords, which made the Xiongnu and Shuofang's border soldiers clash several times.

A few days ago, there was a military report from Guo Yan that the Xiongnu right sage king Hu Chuquan led tens of thousands of troops to attack Wuyuan and Shuofang, and plundered countless people's grain and grass.

Lü Bu was furious and imprisoned Guo Yan for the crime of ineffective work, and ordered Zhao Yun, Wei Yue and other generals to rush to the aid of Shuofang, and it was necessary to protect the territory from being harassed by the Huns.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yue killed the hinterland of the Xiongnu with heavy troops, but the Huns made a living from hunting and had no fixed place.

Lu Bu convened all the ministers to discuss and said, "The Xiongnu originally complemented my resources and complemented each other. Why would you go back on your word and dare to be my enemy? ”

Sima Lang said: "The prince doesn't know, the Xiongnu have had a lot of contacts with us over the years, and the annual transaction and exchange funds are very huge. As the saying goes, scarce things are expensive, and grain and salt are the most lacking things for the Huns, so we can exchange them for a large number of excellent war horses. It's just that in recent years, the trade road has been opened, and the Huns have obtained a lot of grain reserves from it. ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "There is another two?" ”

Sima Lang said: "Exactly, in the recent civil strife of the Xiongnu, the right Xian Wang Hu Chuquan seized power, drove the original Xiongnu king away from Mobei, and single-handedly controlled the government. Hu Chuquan has always been ambitious, in the early years, there was a history of invading Shuofang in the south, fighting against the prince, since he seized power, training soldiers and horses all day long, it seems to have the intention of going south. ”

Lu Bu has always been the purpose of people do not offend me, I will not offend people, if people offend me, I will be annihilated by thousands of miles, at this time by the invasion of Fanbang, how can I swallow this breath, hateful said: "Hu Chuquan does not know whether to live or die, he dared to invade my state, ordered the border of the state to close trade, and increased the army Zhao Yun, so that he must annihilate the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan department, and make them pay the price for their arrogance." ”

Chen Lin persuaded: "The prince can't, trade is my and the prosperity of the state depends, rash destruction, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, countless precious fur and horns, cattle, sheep and horses are from the Xiongnu, the wealthy scholars are involved, the prince rashly closes the trade route, I am afraid that it will cause the scholars to criticize." ”

Lu Bu sneered: "The Huns have all ridden on my head, killing my people and plundering my grain, where are these noble families?" Order, and if anyone dares to cause trouble, I will send them all to the front. ”

The general recruited Yuan Shao in the old days, commanded the Karasuma Iron Cavalry, and interacted with the Hu people, and said: "The Huns and the northern Hu people have similar habits, both live on nomadism, and do not do farming, this time the Huns are in turmoil, and the people who rely on them are just grain reserves, if our cavalry goes deep into it, finds its nest, burns its grain and grass, and beheads women and children, the Huns will collapse without a fight." ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said: "Okay, I will order you to lead a wolf cavalry battalion, immediately reinforce Shuofang, and cooperate with Zhao Yun and Wei Yue to break the Huns, once it is done, I will have a heavy reward." ”

After taking the order and leaving, a guard reported: "There is a woman outside the door, claiming to be Cai Yan and asking to see her." ”

Lu Bu frowned, knowing that Cai Yan must be here for Guo Yan, but he didn't see it, but saw that Cai Yan had already broken into the door.

I saw that she was disheveled and barefoot, and the two guards could not stop her.

The guards were in a dilemma, they all knew her relationship with Lu Bu, and they really didn't dare to be too embarrassed, Lu Bu waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and asked, "Do you have something to look for me?" ”

Cai Yan walked into the hall, bowed down to the ground, and said sadly: "The prince and the marquis clearly see that my husband Guo Yan was ordered to communicate with the Huns, not that he was not conscientious, but that the Huns were suspicious and had different intentions. Guo Yan is just at the right time, it's not his fault, and he asks the prince to be clear. ”

Lu Bu looked around and saw that everyone was silent, and shook his head helplessly: "Guo Yan's crime is not that he did not exchange for war horses, but that he failed to guard the people of Shuofang, causing the people of Shuofang to be plundered and killed countless times by the Huns. ”

Cai Yan choked up even more and said: "The prince is thinking, there will be no signs of serious illness in the future, the Huns have been planning for a long time, and Guo Yan is not a saint, how can everything be expected?" The prince put himself in his shoes, that is, how could he guard against such a sudden disaster? ”

His feelings were so clear and his mournful screams that everyone present was moved.
