A miserable scream pierced the sky, and it was particularly piercing and loud above the majestic county government hall, startling the people outside the door who were watching. Wei Yue, who was executed with a cane, was startled by this scream, and he stumbled and almost fell to his knees.

Lu Bu's face, which was originally full of anger, has been replaced by hideousness, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, how could it hurt so much!

Wei Yue trembled and asked in a low voice, "Lord, are you still fighting?" ”

Lu Bu grinned, forced himself to exhale a breath of turbidity, gritted his teeth and said, "Go on, just fight like this!" ”

Wei Yue got the order, and the staff fell one after another, Lu Bu screamed again and again at the beginning, and after the ten rods, he only had the strength to snort, and by the time he reached the twenty rods, Lu Bu's buttocks had already been soaked with blood, and there was no sound when the staff fell.

Yang Xiu, Xu Tian and others were already pale, but at this time, the decree had been issued, and there was no reason to take it back. Wei Yue trembled, already in tears, he knew that if he continued to fight like this, Lu Bu's body would be useless even if he didn't die!

The people who watched from the periphery of the county government were shocked when they saw the scene of the execution, and they thought that they were just making a show and blocking the mouths of the people, who would have thought that they would come to the real thing, looking at Lu Bu who was full of flesh, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts.

A sharp voice came: "Don't fight, I am willing to punish the remaining twenty rods for the prince!" ”

The people also fell to their knees and shouted, "I am willing to suffer for the king!" ”

Wei Yue looked at Yang Xiu and the others with a cane, Yang Xiu nodded, and saw that Shicai was the first to speak, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you willing to be punished for the prince?" ”

The young man is Lu Rong, he mixed in the crowd, and heard that the prince was actually punished for the king, and his heart was extremely painful, it was the king who he set up to frame, but he didn't expect to make the prince suffer, at this time, he saw that he was already unbearable and fell into a coma, where could he bear it? squeezed out of the crowd and shouted loudly, hoping to be tortured for Lu Bu.

Hearing Yang Xiu's question, he replied in a trembling voice: "My name is Lu Rong, I was originally a refugee from Yizhou, and I was recruited by him when the prince and the marquis went east to conquer the Black Mountain Army, and the prince did not dislike me and other rudeness, and appointed me as the logistics manager, and later recommended me to study in Shenzhou College. ”

At this time, among the people who knelt on the ground, there was an old man with gray hair trembling and said: "The prince seeks life and death for us, saving me is equal to fire and water, my eldest son was killed by the Black Mountain Army, and the second son died of famine. ”

The people were indignant, each with their own words, and for a time the noise was buzzing, and they all begged to be accepted by the prince.

Yang Xiu looked surprised, he could get the love and support of so many people, it seems that the name of the lord's benevolence has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, looking at the county order Xu Tian said: "The people's demands must not be ignored, we are born as the people's parents and officials, we should follow the people's will, and we must not mislead the people's hearts because of this." ”

Xu Tian was in a dilemma, there was the power of law and discipline in the front, so that he did not dare to be a little biased, and then there were people pleading, so that he was greatly moved in his heart.

Just as he was in a dilemma, another person hurriedly broke into the county office and shouted: "It is my fault to let the prince and the prince accept the punishment on my behalf, and I am willing to bear the remaining punishment." ”

But it was the released Wang Ji who went and returned, Wang Ji was released from the prison, and when he was going home, he heard that there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, all saying that Lu Bu was punished on behalf of the people, and his feat and righteousness were touching, Wang Ji didn't believe that anyone could bear it on behalf of others, not to mention the princes and generals who defended one side.

But the rumors were detailed and realistic, which inevitably made him suspicious, so he returned to the county government to watch, and saw the scene of the people pleading for mercy and Lu Bupi opening the flesh, and his heart suddenly burst out with righteousness and pride. Under the surging of blood, he squeezed through the crowd, broke into the county hall, and crawled in front of Lu Bu, crying endlessly.

Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the prisoner has been condemned, there is no crime for the prince to release the prisoner privately, and your punishment has been received by the prince and the prince, I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds in the future, so that others will not be harmed by your mistakes." ”

All the people were overjoyed, and they all thanked the county for their kindness.

When Yang Xiu saw what was going on, he dispersed everyone and said, "The prince is seriously injured, don't delay, all the fathers and elders will disperse here, and go home separately." ”

I don't know how long it took for Lu Bu to wake up quietly, only to feel a hot and stinging pain in his buttocks, and he couldn't help lying on the bed in a daze and wailing a few times, but he heard Yan Xiuli's voice sounding on the side: "You have never cherished your body like this, and when you came out, you seemed righteous, but at this time you knew that you regretted it, right?" ”

Lu Bu reluctantly turned around, and saw that his wife was tearful on the side of the bed, looking at his injuries and hurting his nerves, porcelain teeth grinned: "Don't worry, my injury is not serious, but this heart can't be changed, what is there to regret." ”

Yan Xiuli was angry, and pressed on his injury, Lu Bu suddenly screamed in pain and said, "Are you trying to murder your husband?" ”

Yan Xiuli said with red eyes: "You don't know life and death like this, and you have put yourself in danger several times, so you never thought about how our mother and son would survive in this troubled world without you?" Next time, I'll leave you alone. ”

Lu Bu saw her angry and scolded, her expression was desolate and tactful, and the affection was full and long, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, moved slightly, prostrate on her thighs, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have rough skin and thick flesh, but only a small injury to my flesh." In the future, you must be careful and let no longer worry you. ”

For the next half a month, Lu Bu was in the house to recuperate from his injuries, and with the careful care of his wife, the injuries were also good quickly, but after more than ten days, he was able to get out of bed and walk around.

During this period, the county ordered Xu Tian, Wang Ji and others to come to ask for guilt, which made the prince seriously injured, and he was sincerely afraid in his heart, Lu Bu couldn't help but comfort him, this kind of criminal law was his own willingness, and it had nothing to do with them, and encouraged them to do things hard in the future, and they would not be in vain to blame their own rods.

However, Wei Yue was unlucky, Yan Xiuli was angry that he hurt her husband, and seeing that he was not pleasing to the eye, she found the opportunity to appoint him as a Shuofang graphite supervisor and drove him away from her husband's side.

Wei Yue suddenly suffered from this unwarranted disaster, and his heart was indescribable, and he secretly came to ask Lu Bu several times, but Lu Bu was also helpless, his wife was all right, but his heart was too small, and he was not good at protecting him, so he encouraged him: "You have been by my side for many years, and it is time to go out and practice and make a career, so that you can be alone in the future and share your worries for me." ”

Wei Yue smiled on his face, MMP in his heart, this time he went to the place of Shuofang Bianshuo, and he really didn't know when he would return.

After Lu Bu recovered from his injuries, he accompanied Huang Chengyan and others to visit the arsenal workshop located in the east of Mengjin City, but saw that there were a variety of bows, crossbows, swords, and halberds, as well as a powerful improved god-breaking crossbow, which could fire three giant arrows at a time. Lu Bu had personally experienced the divine power of the God-Breaking Crossbow, and had a deep understanding of his power, looking at the God-Breaking Crossbow, he thought of Cheng Lian who died under the God-Breaking Crossbow, and couldn't help but feel sad.

It's just that although this god-breaking crossbow is huge, due to the complex structure, it takes half a year to build one, which is too slow.

Lu Bu proposed: "Now that Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Zan and pacified the land of Youzhou, there are no worries, and now the soldiers are going south and are gathering in the Chaoge area, it is very likely to attack our state, and Mr.'s god-breaking crossbow is a strategic weapon of our army, if it can be built faster, it can save many soldiers from worrying about life and death." ”

Huang Chengyan said helplessly: "The prince doesn't know, this god-breaking crossbow has a complicated process, and we lack qualified craftsmen, so it is really difficult to speed up." ”

Lu Bu saw that the craftsmen were all gathered in one place, and each of them had to be multiplied, and the requirements for skills naturally increased exponentially, so he suggested: "Sir, why don't you use the method of assembly production?" ”

Huang Chengyan asked suspiciously: "What is the method of assembly production?" ”

Lu Bu explained: "It is to hand over the components and structures to be processed and forged by special personnel, and then assembled by Mr. and other masters. ”

Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up and said: "Exactly, why didn't I think that letting the blacksmith make the arrow, let the carpenter make the crossbow body, and let my apprentices make the precision bracket in it, so that a lot of time can be saved, and the skill requirements of the craftsman will be much lower, which is really wonderful." ”

Lu Budao: "That's right, the key is the specification of the drawings, which has to be done by Mr. himself." ”

When Lu Bu was leaving, he suddenly asked on a whim: "Does Mr. have a daughter named Yueying?" ”

Huang Chengyan's expression changed, and he said: "There is a daughter, but the prince inquired clearly, and even knew the name." ”

Lu Bu asked again: "Have you ever promised to marry someone?" ”

Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "The little girl is still young, so don't beat her idea." ”

Lu Bu saw that he had misunderstood, he just wanted to hear the news of his future son-in-law Zhuge Liang, at this time they came to Bingzhou, and he didn't know if he would meet Zhuge Liang, so he explained: "Mr. misunderstood, I just asked casually, and I didn't mean anything else." ”

After nearly a month in Mengjin Panhuan, Lu Bu packed up and returned to Anyi with everyone.

When they arrived at the gate of Anyi, Sima Lang, Jia Xu, Chen Lin and others were waiting outside the gate. When he saw Lu Bu driving, he stepped forward side by side to greet him.

Also in the house, although Mengjin is prosperous, but after all, it is not as comfortable as Anyi. Asked about the things after leaving, Sima Lang said: "It is understandable for the lord to develop business and encourage people's livelihood, but now most of the people who have abandoned their fields and worked outside, just because the income from work is far more than the income from the fields. ”

Lu Bu was shocked, but he didn't expect this situation, this era is not like the later generations, there can be industrial support, now land and land are the foundation of the country, agriculture and animal husbandry are an important pillar of the national economy.

Then he asked the people, "What is the best plan for you?" ”

Sima Lang suggested: "The main reason why farmers are not enthusiastic about farming is that the taxes are too heavy, and there is not much left of the annual output after deducting taxes, while the work is different, it is all pure income, because today's young and strong laborers are more willing to go out to work, so as to improve the situation at home." If taxes can be reduced or reduced as appropriate, more people will still be willing to farm at home, after all, it is a big pity to go away to work in other places and not be able to get together with their families. ”

Lu Bu thought so, and seeing that several other important ministers did not disagree, he clapped his hand and said: "Then the tax will be exempted for three years, and then it will be dealt with as appropriate after three years." ”

Jia Xu saw that he had a conclusion at this time, so he played again: "The scale of the Blackstone Army has expanded rapidly, there are 500,000 people, but it is still the previous system, although the Blackstone Army is not a regular army establishment, but in order to prevent trouble, should we restructure it to avoid future troubles?" ”

Lu Bu frowned and pondered, this question has actually been bothering him for a long time, hundreds of thousands of people, although the good and the bad are mixed, but most of them are in the prime of life.

Restructuring is naturally imperative, but how to change it and what it will become still needs to be carefully considered; if it is rashly carried out, I am afraid that it will backfire and deal a big blow to the morale of the people and the army.

Among them, there are many great scholars involved, otherwise it would be difficult for Lu Bu to make it bigger with the strength of Lu Bu alone.

The people deliberated for a long time, but there was no perfect solution.

However, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened in Luoyang.

After Chen Gong left Lu Bu's army, he came to Luoyang, and by chance met the depressed emperor, Chen Gong has always regarded himself as loyal and righteous, and since then he has followed the left and right, and has been reused by the emperor.

On this day, the emperor had a banquet for his relatives and ministers, and the banquet was in full swing, and the emperor suddenly cried bitterly.

The relatives and ministers looked at each other in amazement, and Chen Gong hurriedly asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly cry bitterly?" ”

The emperor said angrily: "I cry what happened today, and I cry tomorrow." Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yu Ban and others pressed the battle with heavy troops, bullying me to be young and weak, and now I have a queen and am an adult, but I don't know when I will come out! ”

Emperor Chen Gong's safety Emperor said: "Your Majesty don't worry, the ministers see that Ma Chao, Han Sui and others are ignorant and reckless, with brute strength in their limbs, and their people are very greedy and greedy, and the ministers only need a plan to make them attack each other and fall apart." ”

The emperor stopped crying and said anxiously, "Please also sacrifice wine and teach me." ”

Chen Gong said: "Chen Su knows that Empress Fu and Ma Chao's wife Dong Bai have a lot of friendship, Your Majesty only needs to use a little trick to make that Dong Bai believe that Han Sui and Yu Ban want to join forces to harm his husband, Dong Bai is just a woman will be convinced, and Your Majesty will do some tricks and feet in it, so that they will turn against each other, and then Your Majesty can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

The emperor was shocked and said, "Do you want my queen to come out?" How could she be involved in such a calamity? ”
