"Why are you back again?" Outside the Thorn Mansion, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and was about to leave.

Behind him, stood a group of Dragon Guard soldiers.

Chen Gong asked urgently: "Lord, on the street..." ”

"I've figured out what happened on the street. By this time tomorrow, everything will be back to normal. Lu Bu said it very lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao both looked at each other.

Lu Bu clamped the horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse galloped forward, followed by the soldiers of the Dragon Guard.

Lu Bu also attaches great importance to the things in Shouchun City, and has been planning to change.

Liu Bowen, Xiang Yu, and Luo Cheng have posted notices many times to implement the policy of benefiting the people, but the people are afraid of the new forces, so they dare not go out, and no matter how good the policy is, it cannot be conveyed.

Shouchun is the seat of Yangzhou governance, and it is also the future capital and political, military, and trade center of Lü Bu.

Lu Bu knew very well that the people's aspirations were related to the overall situation, and they must not be careless, so he delayed for so long and did not take tough measures.

Now the situation is tense, the enemies of Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wujun have not been driven away, and the Shanyue riots in various places, and the remnants of the family have added fuel to the fire and made waves. The army is fragmented and scattered. If you don't deal with the affairs of Shouchun City, I'm afraid it will affect the overall situation.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu decided that when it was time to be tough, he still had to be tough!

...............................

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiang Yu and Luo Cheng's army drove out of the school field and entered the street.

According to Lu Bu's instructions, all the people in Shouchun City were driven out of the city and stood facing the city tower.

According to the roster, the people of Shouchun City were originally as many as 300,000, and since last year, Yuan Shu has been violently collecting and expanding the source of troops, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of people in Shouchun City.

Some fled for their lives from the city, and some took refuge in the family, with less than 230,000 left, and most of them were old and weak women and children.

Lu Bu took all the civil and military forces and five hundred dragon guard soldiers to the city tower.

At a glance, it is crowded with people and lively.

The people stood outside the city and saw the fierce soldiers on the side, and they were terrified to the extreme, thinking that Lu Bu was going to kill them and behead them.

Those who were close to the soldiers trembled and did not dare to speak.

Far away from the soldiers, there was a lot of discussion about how to avoid this massacre.

"My lord, two hundred and thirty thousand people, have been driven out of the city." Xiang Yu walked over.

"Well, let's get started."

Lu Bu waved his hand behind him. Gao Shun held the notice of dividing the fields and grain, took two steps forward, and read aloud: "Yangzhou Assassin Mansion, promulgated the first decree: all the registered people of Shouchun City, regardless of their origins, poor and rich, can be divided into three acres of fertile land and half a stone of rice grain according to the head..." ”

When Gao Shun read out the contents of the notice aloud, the soldiers outside the city repeated the contents of the notice and passed it back one by one so that all the people could hear it.

There are two things on the notice that are very attractive.

First, those who are registered can get three acres of fertile land and half a stone of rice grain.

Second, the taxes of all the people under their rule were halved and allowed to be paid within three years.

This means that all the people who live in Shouchun City can live in peace and stability, without worrying about food and housing, and there will be no government to come to the door and forcibly pay taxes.

Gao Shun finished reading the notice and retreated behind Lu Bu.

At this moment, the people outside the city were stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Since ancient times, those in power have tried every means to exploit the people, and regarded the property of the people as their own property. Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, they did not dare to formulate such a policy to benefit the people.

Suddenly, they became suspicious of the contents of the notice.

Many people wonder, is Lu Bu talking about playing? I want to use this method to temporarily gain the hearts of the people, and after a while, I will exploit it.

"Do not doubt the contents of the notice, for you will receive food and land at once. If there are people from Xuzhou among you, you should know that this is true of everything under my rule. ”

Lu Bu slowly walked a few steps forward and said, "Since the Second Emperor Huan Ling, thieves have swarmed all over the world, yellow turbans have plundered, and the people have been like fire and water. When Yuan Shu was in power, he was brutal and unkind, and he expropriated violently, causing the people of Yangzhou to suffer unprecedented disasters. The general took pity on the common people and couldn't bear to see thousands of people suffering, so the rebel army eliminated Yuan Shu and led Yangzhou himself. ”

"Some time ago, thousands of people were beheaded in the downtown area, and everyone must be wondering if I am also like Yuan Shu, cruel and murderous. I tell you, I, Lu Bu, am definitely not Yuan Shu, and all the people I killed were heinous criminals. They help the family, do evil, and plague the people for a long time, even if they are cut by a thousand knives, they cannot relieve their hatred. Kill them, it is cheaper to kill them. ”

"If in the future, there are still those who dare to help the family and harm the people, I Lu Bu will kill them and will never tolerate them!"

"Under my rule, there will be no bullies allowed to bully, let alone the family to run rampant... Remember, the government is your backer, and if you are bullied, you will go to the Yin Mansion to beat the drum, and your own officials will make decisions for you! ”

"Remembering that the people of Yangzhou have suffered for a long time, I announce that I will immediately open a warehouse and release grain. All the registered people can not only receive three acres of fertile land, half a stone of rice grain, but also receive 200 yuan to celebrate the pacification of Yangzhou! ”

These few sentences are impassioned and clear.

not only clarified the truth about the killing of thousands of people some time ago, but also stated the position of the Lu Bu regime, which can be summed up in one sentence, that is, to attack the family and benefit the people!

Most of those who stood outside the city were the people. Hearing Lu Bu's words, they all trembled with excitement.

Because happiness came so suddenly, neither of them reacted immediately.

On the tower of the city, Chen Gong looked horrified, and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, two hundred yuan for one person is more than 40 million yuan, this..." ”

Prior to this, Chen Gong, Liu Bowen, etc., only knew about dividing the fields and grain, but they didn't know how to divide the money, and it was tens of millions as soon as they made a move, which was really unacceptable. Chen Gong, in particular, felt some flesh pain.

Lu Bu interrupted him: "Mr. Gongtai doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind!" ”

At this time, he waved his hand towards the city, and Zhang Feng led thousands of men and horses, pushing carts full of copper coins and grain, and quickly went out of the city. There are also hundreds of bookkeepers, also holding rosters, ready to divide the money and food.

Suddenly, the people outside the city were all boiling...

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! I don't know who started first, but two hundred and thirty thousand people shouted with them.

Their voices, like sharp knives, pierced into the hearts of the officials.

Lu Bu's soldiers, when they heard the words 'long live', all felt supreme glory. The lord they are loyal to is a good lord who loves the people like a son, and they fight to the death for the people of the world.

Chen Gong looked at it blankly, and didn't say anything more...

Lu Bu was smiling, and he was extremely relieved in his heart.

If the people can voluntarily shout the word 'long live', it is worth paying any price! What copper coins, grain, and the army are all floating clouds, and the people's will is the foundation of the great cause.
