"Hmm."

Lu Bu nodded and looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is full, there is no need to rely on collecting taxes from the four cities of Luoyang to enrich the treasury." ”

"I know that the treasury is full now, but how long will it be full? Ten years, twenty years? There will always be a day when you can't make ends meet. By then, it will be too late to collect taxes. Lu Budao.

"Uh... How could it be late. Chen Gong was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to persuade.

Lu Xian arched his hand and said, "Mr. Gongtai, what my father means... The people in all parts of the country have become accustomed to paying taxes. We have exempted them from poll tax and land tax, which is already a great blessing from heaven, and the people will be grateful. As for the tariffs.... You might as well keep it and enrich the treasury, after all, the world has just been pacified, and there are still many places where you need money. If you wait until you run out of money to collect taxes, the people will complain. ”

"Hear me?" Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and said, "I am very pleased that you can think about the people, but you must have an overall view. Not only for the good of the people, but also for the good of the country. The two complement each other and are indispensable. ”

"It's... Obey the order. ”

Chen Gong saw that he couldn't persuade Lu Bu, so he had to give up.

"Public station. Has the decree for rewarding officials at all levels been drafted? Lu Bu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is a matter of the province." Chen Gong replied.

"Oh... I forgot. Lu Bu patted his head and said, "You go and find Xu Shu." ”

"No."

Chen Gong got up and left.

"Your Majesty." Xu Shu was recruited.

"Sir, please be seated."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Bu asked, "Regarding the holy decree of rewarding officials at all levels, can the Menxia Province have drafted it?" Do you have any approval from Shangshu Province? ”

"Back to Your Majesty. There are more than 400 decrees to reward officials in various places, and most of them have been passed. Only some generals who are very controversial have been rejected by our Shangshu Province. ”

"Why?" Lu Bu picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "You give an example." ”

"Yes."

Xu Shu replied: "For example, General Zhang Ren of Yizhou, according to the merit, his merit is greater than Yue Fei's. Menxia Province intends to appoint Zhang Ren as the governor of Yizhou and concurrently serve as the deputy governor of the regular army. He also rewarded a large amount of gold, silver, money, food, and mansions, which faintly overshadowed Yue Fei. We at Shangshu Province believe that credit is not necessarily absolutely fair. But the big picture can't change. Yue Fei is the lord of the Yizhou Army, how can he be overshadowed by his subordinates? This would weaken his prestige. So... Zhang Ren could not serve as governor of Yizhou. ”

"Well, you've thought it through." After hearing this, Lu Bu also agreed with Shangshu Province's reply.

Zhang Ren is a veteran of Yizhou and was named the deputy governor of Yizhou, only a little shorter than Yue Fei. If he is named the governor of Yizhou again, his position will be higher than Yue Fei, which will affect Yue Fei.

As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and in order for Yizhou to have long-term peace and stability, it is not possible to reward Zhang Ren too much.

"Anything else?" Lu Bu asked.

"There is also a holy decree to reward General Han Xin, which was also rejected." Xu Shu said: "Menxia Province has drafted Han Xin as the general of the Shang Army, and concurrently serves as the commander of the 100,000 new army. The reply of our Shangshu Province is... Feng Hanxin was the general of Wei and concurrently served as the commander of the 1st Army. ”

"Okay." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Shangshu Province's approval is very good. Han Shin's position can be high, but the military power.... ”

"The power of the army should not be too high. The new army should not have a supreme commander and should be divided into three. Xu Shu helped Lu Bu say it.

"I still know what I mean..."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Needless to say, I believe in your Shangshu Province." Urge the subordinates to write a new decree as soon as possible. Early tomorrow morning, when the court is in court, it will be made public. ”

"Yes."

Xu Shu got up and left.

Next.

Early morning.

The sky was crisp and cloudless.

The sun rises in the east, shining brightly on the Mukden Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officers went to the court, standing outside the Fengtian Palace.

Lu Bu walked briskly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Hundreds of officials salute.

"Flat." Lu Bu sat upright, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Today is the day to reward civil and military affairs and count meritorious deeds. All generals who have made military exploits and officials who have made contributions to the country will be rewarded. ”

"Jun Xian."

Lu Bu looked at Li Junxian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Li Junxian understood, picked up a holy decree from the jade table, and read: "Edict, the Holy Dahua Empire is 1 AD, and the Seven Tiger Famous Generals will be sealed." Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, Bai Qi, Pei Yuanqing, Fan Lihua, Mu Guiying... ”

"Jin Feng Li Yuanba is the king of Zhao and a general who protects the country, and he is given a first-class mansion, 3,000 acres of land, and a reward of 3 million...."

"Jin Feng Xiang Yu is the king of Qin, a hussar general, a first-class hussar general, a first-class mansion, 3,000 acres of land, and a reward of 3 million...."

"Jin Feng Li Cunxiao is the Marquis of Luocheng, a first-class auxiliary general, and is given a first-class mansion, 3,000 acres of land, and a reward of 3 million...."

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

The seven famous tiger generals were all crowned princes and ranked in the first rank.

Li Junxian changed the holy decree and continued to read: "Edict, in the first year of the Holy Dahua Empire, the ten generals will be crowned. Han Xin, Li Jing, Huang Zhong, Luo Cheng, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Yue Fei... ”

"Jin Feng Han Xin is a second-grade former general, and he is given a first-class mansion, a thousand acres of land, and a reward of one million..."

"Jin Feng Li Jing is the general of the second grade, and he will be given a first-class mansion, a thousand acres of land, and a reward of one million..."

"Jin Feng Huang Zhong is the second rank of the left general, and he is given a first-class mansion, 1,000 acres of land, and a reward of 1 million...."

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

The top ten generals are all ranked second.

Next.

There are also Lu Xun, Yang Lin, Wu Tianci, Wu Yunzhao, Qin Qiong, Xue Rengui, etc., who have also been rewarded. Those with high positions were named four towns and four generals, and those with low positions were also generals of Sipin and Siping.

There were more than 400 holy decrees (including the appointment of civil officials, taishou and governors in various places), and Li Junxian recited it for more than an hour before he finished it with great difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the decree is complete." Li Junxian arched his hand.

"Hmm."

Lu Bu stood up, beckoned into the distance, and walked over to a man with gray stubble. Lu Bu took his hand and said to the officials present, "Let me introduce you, this is Nie Zheng, the Shadow Commander. He has followed me since the second year of Jian'an, collecting intelligence for me, monitoring the enemy army, and plotting against the enemy generals. I decided to promote Nie Zheng to the position of Imperial Historian of the Inspectorate, and also serve as the Shadow Commander, responsible for supervising the officials of the whole country, fulfilling his duties and serving the country. ”

"The Shadow Banner, the Minor Banner, etc., will also be rewarded. All members are rewarded by the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nie Zheng was grateful, and gave a big salute to Lu Bu.

The reward is over.

Every general, officer, was rewarded. Even the insignificant soldiers were rewarded by the Ministry of Rites and the magistrates, as appropriate, as a reward for their efforts over the years.

Everyone is grateful for the emperor's grace, thank the lord Longen.

September of the 14th year of Jian'an.

The feudal magistrates returned to the localities and governed their own areas.

The generals who stayed in Luoyang also formed the 20th Central Army and actively trained.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the great cause of unifying the world, the tyrant system, the merit is complete, and the return to nothingness will continue to look for the next host. Lu Bu had a dream in which he heard such a sentence.

When he woke up, he found that his system was gone.
