Chapter 30: Returning to the Hometown to Worship Ancestors

"Yes."

Chen Gong took the bamboo slip, faced everyone, and said: "Since the new army has just been formed and has not yet formed combat effectiveness, the 30,000 people transferred from General Fan's command have not been distributed to the generals, so this military order will be implemented after the 15th day. Until then, absolute secrecy is required. ”

"Zhang Liao, Luo Cheng."

"Yes." Two people came out of the ranks.

"The two of you, leading the cavalry of the headquarters, left Xiapi in the early morning of the 18th, marched west along the official road of Puyang, crossed the Langya country, and entered the county towns of Pengcheng and Guangling counties respectively."

"No."

"Gao Shun led 10,000 troops, left Xiapi after 15 days, and stationed in Dongguan."

"No."

"Fan Lihua transferred 30,000 troops, and at noon on the 17th, he first cleared the family in Xiapi, and then attacked the two counties of Donghai and Linlang."

"Ordered."

Chen Gong shook the bamboo slip in his hand and said: "In order to prevent mistakes, I will give each of you a bamboo slip, which not only has a detailed battle plan and marching route, but also the information of various families. ”

"No." All the generals responded excitedly.

"I'll add one more thing."

Lu Bu took the two bamboo slips, got up and said: "This is the spirit of fighting tigers for the whole people and the land reform system that I wrote overnight. ”

The spirit of fighting tigers for the whole people?

Agrarian reform system?

It's definitely a novelty, no one has ever heard of it.

Chen Gong was also at a loss.

"Lord, what does it mean that the whole people fight the tiger?" Zhang Liao asked.

"That's a good question."

Lu Bu opened one of the bamboo slips, smiled and said, "Why don't I read it to you?" ”

"Please clear your mind." The generals looked expectant.

Lu Bu read aloud: "Xuzhou assassin Shi Lu Bu, proclaim to the people of the Quartet: born earth, earth creatures, and the prosperity of all things, are all the work of the people." The author of hard work should get his due benefits, how can he be taken by others? Today, there are rich gentry and wealthy households, who use their power to deceive the world, do not work, do not plough the land, sit back and enjoy their achievements, like thieves, and all the people under my rule should be... ”

After reading it, Lu Bu explained: "The so-called tiger is the family. The whole people fight the tiger is to unite the people and eliminate the family. ”

"The lord really can laugh, will the people be so obedient? I think it's good that they don't rebel with the big clans. Chen Gong disagreed.

"If you don't try, how will you know?"

Lu Bu threw another bamboo slip in his hand to Chen Gong and said, "You take a look at this first, this is the land reform system I am planning to write." I'm sure the people will be very interested. ”

"If the people are still indifferent after seeing this land reform system, then even if I am blind and self-inflicted."

The so-called land reform system means that state-owned land will be distributed free of charge according to the head of the people, without charging a penny. These lands will no longer belong to the state, but to the people themselves!

In addition to paying 30% of the tax to the government every year, the rest is kept for oneself.

That's tempting...

In the past, the people planted the land, which was rented from the family, and the grain planted was first handed over to the state at least 40%, and then 50% to the family, and the rest was not enough to eat except for the grain seeds of the next year.

And now, the people can get seventy percent of the food, and the benefits have increased sevenfold!

After Chen Gong read it, he finally understood why Lu Bu was so confident, according to the implementation of this system, how could the people not actively participate? This is all related to the fate and future of the people.

"Mr. Gongtai, what do you think after reading it?"

"It turns out that the lord has long been confident and ashamed."

Xiao He snatched the bamboo slip, and after taking a look, he hurriedly said: "Lord, this makes too much profit, it's only thirty percent of the tax, how can it supply the army?" ”

"Father-in-law doesn't need to worry, thirty percent of the tax is enough to support the army!"

Lu Buxin said: "As long as the people have surplus grain in their hands, are they afraid that they won't be able to buy grain?" As for the money ... Just find a way to earn it. With the memory of later generations, inventing anything is enough to make money. ”

Regarding this problem, Lu Bu is not worried at all.

When the spirit of fighting tigers and the land reform system were brought out, Chen Gong finally changed his opinion and began to truly support Lu Bu's decision. The bloody battle with the family to the end will change the idea of relying on the family to relying on the people.

The other generals were also full of confidence and began to gear up, waiting for half a month later, to carry out a comprehensive purge of the families in the six counties of Xuzhou.

But what Lu Bu didn't know was that just when he decided this matter, Li Dejiang also decided to take Yan Jin's suggestion and kill Yan Jin's father, Yan Xiang, in order to provoke Yuan Shu and send troops to Xuzhou.

On this day, it was raining lightly and the roads were muddy.

A carriage slowly marched to Muzhen County, Donghai County, accompanied by more than 40 people, dressed like a caravan. But the 'caravan' did not enter the city, but went directly to a hill fifteen miles away.

"Mr. Yan, it's not Qingming at this time, why did you suddenly remember to come here to sweep the tomb?" Coming to the foot of the mountain, Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao, asked.

"Qingming tomb sweeping is for the world to see, and how many people are really nostalgic for the deceased? If you have love in your heart, you can sweep the tomb at any time, so why wait until Qingming? Yan Xiang said in a calm tone.

"Yes, students are taught."

Yan Xiang is the chief bookkeeper under Yuan Shu, and he is also the chief strategist!

When he returned to Xuzhou this time, Yan Xiang was originally alone, but Yuan Shu wanted his son to learn more with Yan Xiang and go out to practice, so he let Yuan Yao and Yan Xiang go together.

The two talked for a while at the foot of the mountain, and then walked up the mountain hand in hand.

At this time, in a certain courtyard in Muzhen County, Li Dejiang had already prepared more than 200 killers, all wearing the armor of Lu Bujun, waving the banner of the word 'Lu', and waiting solemnly.

"Master, Yan Xiang has arrived." Hu Si walked into the courtyard to report.

"Where?"

"He didn't go into the city, but went directly to Yandang Mountain, which was fifteen miles away."

"Yandang Mountain?" Li Dejiang thought for a while and said, "That's where the ancestral tomb of the Yan family is, Yan Xiang must have gone to worship his ancestors." ”

"Master, there are more than forty people with Yan Xiang, as well as Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao."

"Yuan Yao is here too?"

"Yes."

Li Dejiang said excitedly: "God help me, God help me!" I was originally worried that if I just killed Yuan Shu's advisors, it would not provoke Yuan Lu to fight, but now it seems that Yuan Shu will definitely conquer Xuzhou! ”

"Hu Si."

"Yes."

"Hurry up and send someone to keep an eye on it, and when Yan Xiang and Yuan Yao come back from sweeping the tomb and enter Muzhen County, come and report to me quickly."

Hu Si frowned and asked, "Does the master want to do it in the city?" ”

"Of course! And do it where there are the most people! Let everyone know that Lu Bu's soldiers killed Yuan Shu's advisers and killed Yuan Shu's son. Hum... At that time, even if Yuan Shu didn't want to send troops, it wouldn't work. ”

"Yes."

Hu Si left quickly.

Li Dejiang was in a good mood, and after a while, he called all his subordinates to the front and began to make the most careful arrangements for the next action.
