Stopping in front of the court, Li Ru looked at Cheng Lian guarding outside, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Dian Wei asked Lu Bu to send him over to defend Guo Jia, and Cheng Lian has become Lu Bu's personal general again these days. When he saw Li Ru coming, he hurriedly saluted him. As Lu Bu's chief strategist, Li Ru's status is naturally extremely high. Moreover, his resourcefulness, Cheng Lian and others have also seen it with their own eyes, so they still have great respect for Li Ru.

"Can the prince be inside?"

Li Ru asked.

Cheng Lian replied honestly, "It's inside...... But the lord said that he didn't see anyone for the time being......"

"Oh?"

Li Ru was slightly surprised, and continued to ask, "How long has the prince been inside?" ”

"It's been a day and a night."

Cheng Lian glanced at it and whispered in Li Ru's ear, "Li Beijia, after you left yesterday, the lord was so sad that even this meal was very rare." There seems to be something on the mind, and it has not been resolved...... Isn't something happening to Jinyang? ”

Li Ru looked at Cheng Lian, "How do you know?" ”

Looking at Li Ru's expression, Cheng Lian seemed to think that his guess was right. Hehe smiled, "If Jinyang is fine, the lord will not be so worried!" Now that our army has won a great victory, all the soldiers are thinking of attacking with all their might! But the lord suddenly stopped, and if something hadn't happened, I don't think it would have been like this......"

"Hmm."

Li Ru nodded lightly, and only instructed Cheng Lian, "This matter should not be born, because the army is afraid of turmoil!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Lian's face said solemnly.

When he learned that Li Ru had arrived, Lu Bu was still buried in the official documents. The wolf, with a stroke of pen on the thin paper, wrote down some of the things he had thought about. Li Ru slowly approached Lu Bu, and when he saw Lu Bu buried himself in writing, he also stood quietly aside. Until Lu Bu put down the wolf's hair, glanced at Li Ru, and hurriedly said, "Wen Wei sit down!" ”

"My lord, this is thinking about how to solve the problem of the displaced people?"

Li Ru stroked his beard gently.

After not seeing him for a while, Li Ru's short beard grew again. But it's not the goatee, it's the mustache, which looks quite charming.

"Hmm."

After holding up a lazy waist, Lu Bu also yawned, and he didn't close his eyes for a night and night, and he was also quite tired. If it weren't for the exiles in Jinyang, Lu Bu would probably not be able to support it a long time ago. Blowing lightly on the paper that had just been written, Lu Bu handed it to Li Ru, "Wenyou, thanks to some of the words you said, it gives me some more ideas!" You see, this is the solution I want to solve this displacement. ”

Li Ru's gaze swept roughly over the paper, and his ability to never forget made him judge in an instant, and his eyes were a little shocked, "Work for relief?" This ......"

Among the many words that Lu Bu said, there was only one point, which was crucial. That's cash-for-work! Since ancient times, the displacement of people and disasters has been a headache for rulers. Whenever there is any natural or man-made disaster, then the ruler will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to help those victims! But there are policies and countermeasures! In many cases, the money distributed by the state to help the victims of disasters has been filled by a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. In the end, the victims were still denied shelter, which became the source of the disaster. Now, with the severe drought in Guanzhong, hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by natural disasters and displaced, and officials in many places are powerless to do anything about these displaced people, even if they sympathize with them!

The number of displaced people is too large! It is simply impossible to relieve them with the grain in the treasury. Maybe only those in power can give some money for disaster relief! However, very little of the money for disaster relief can really be used for disaster relief. Now Lu Bu proposed this cash-for-work scheme, which opened Li Ru's eyes.

"The drought in Guanzhong has displaced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese people...... This is a natural disaster, and it is also a man-made disaster! ”

Lu Bu sighed lightly, "In the past, Dong Zhuo plundered money and built a dock, and the grain can be used for ten years...... Later, after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao and Guo Yan caused trouble in Chang'an again, sending troops to loot everywhere, and the people had no food in their homes, and let the Xiliang thieves loot it, even those big families are difficult to survive, let alone the people? Now there is a severe drought, and even the harvest is gone...... If there is even the slightest hope of survival, who wants to leave their homeland and be displaced? ”

This era is no better than that of later generations! In this troubled world, you leave the place where you live and go on a long journey! It is very likely that you have not yet reached your destination, and for various reasons, you have fallen on the road. It can be said that once you embark on the journey, you will lose more than half of your life, and whether you can survive in the end depends on the will of God.

Let Lu Bu sit and watch those suffering people, people full of hope, fall down in front of his own door, Lu Bu can't do it. After a sleepless night, it was finally Lu Bu who thought of some methods that could be used for reference in the future! Moreover, Li Ru once said to him, that is, in the eyes of these homeless people, money is not important, food is the most important!

Is there any grain in the state? Honestly, no.

There was no shortage of food in Lu Bu's army, this was because when he left Chang'an, he brought some of the food in Hewu. In addition, the grain of the state is more than enough to supply the tens of thousands of troops. But if you want to help these victims, it will be difficult! But there is no grain in Bingzhou, and Lu Bu can still get some grain. Jizhou, Huainan, and even Jingzhou, these places all have food. As long as this wave of crisis can be withstood and these displaced people can settle down in the state, the final benefits will be far greater than the current pay.

"On the surface, the Lord's cash-for-work is not to help these displaced people, but to build a large number of projects at the expense of the government, to recruit these displaced people to work, and to give them money according to the income from their labor......

Li Ru's eyes were bright, "Clever plan, really a clever plan!" Why can't Confucianism think of such a method? ”

"In the past, Yao used Kun to control floods, but Kun controlled the floods for nine years without success, and when the floods came, they would only build dams to block the water. Hou Kun's son, Dayu continued to rectify the flood, Dayu did not block the water as the law, and dredged the waterway, in order to control the flood, so that the flood is worry-free...... Therefore, it is better to be sparse than blocked! ”

Lu Budao, "This relief to the displaced people is like curing a flood, it will only be blocked, and the final consequences will be endless." And the cash-for-work is like Dayu controlling the water, dredging it, so that these people have paid for labor and obtained money to survive, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone......"

"Huainanzi" said that it is better to go home and weave nets than to envy fish by the river. Therefore I think it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish! ”

The second is to thank the snowman for his two monthly passes.
