Chapter Seventy-Four: The Reform Begins
It is said that after Cao Ren returned to Xuchang, he told a series of things in detail about the state, and after Cao Cao heard it, he was silent for a long time and said: "Fengxian, I can't do it." Then he turned around and left, and Lu Bu here immediately put the reform of the state on the agenda after sending Cao Ren away, he still wanted to walk slowly, but now he has to speed up his pace, heroes are born in troubled times, in this era of heroes, slow down a little, and others will catch up and catch up.
So he had to reform some graceful institutions in the state in advance:
First: Eliminate redundant personnel, in the past, when Ding Yuan was in the past, because the family had accumulated gluttonous people, so he kicked out all these people who ate dry food and didn't work, but even if he said that he was kicked out, part of it was to transfer out the power agency and let them go to the elderly, and some of it was completely kicked out, the current family is deep-rooted, and it is not suitable to turn the face with them now, and fighting with them needs to eat them step by step.
The second: reward your cronies in a big way, and reward the civil ministers and military generals who came with him all the way, the reason why they are with you is not for high-ranking officials and future generations, if you want them to give you hard work, you can't be stingy with them, and Lu Bu is naturally clear about this, so he is also generous.
The third: civil and military reform, first of all, the army, the formation of a corps system, Gao Shun led the trapping camp, the number was expanded to 2,000, and Huang Zhong led the sharpshooter battalion, which was expanded to 8,000. Zhang Liao formed light cavalry, and the number was also 8,000. Xu Huang formed a heavy cavalry, heavy armor and heavy armor, the number of five thousand Lu Bu directly under the wolf cavalry, the number was expanded to 10,000, the head of the guard, the number of personal guards was expanded to 1,000, and the rest of the infantry except for the general's people, veterans, remnants, all of them were retired and arranged by the government, and Lu Bu still had two thoughts in his heart, but because there was no one under him, he had to run aground temporarily, but he had ordered his subordinates to build armor and prepare for the future. Then the Ideological and Political Department was independent of the army, and at the same time, the Military Supervision Department was formed, which was temporarily held by Lu Bu.
Fourth: political reform, to put it simply, Chen Gong is in charge of money, directs and conjures all the state's expenses, Jia Xu is in charge of personnel dispatch, Li Ru is in charge of supervision, Xun Yu, Xun Yu is in charge of state political affairs. At the same time, several middle schools, headed by Jia Xu, set up a staff department and went out with the army when necessary.
Sixth: Implement the imperial examination system, with Cai Yong as the examiner, and Lu Bu to ask questions and recruit talents from all over the world. The former of the world's talents gathered in the state, and now the world's heroes are in its pocket,
Fifth: Re-measure the land, collect taxes according to the number of acres and per capitation, and encourage farmers to come and cultivate in the state, and each household can receive a piece of land for free, if you can cultivate it continuously for three years, this land is yours.
This reform was thought of by Lu Bu and everyone for more than half a month, both internally and externally, although it cannot be said to be perfect, but this is all that a few people can think of at this moment.
Reform means moving other people's cakes, and this time it is undoubtedly the family that hurts, if you want to kick them out of the power center, this is bearable, but the imperial examination and land reform in the back have cut off their way, but what makes them uncomfortable is that Lu Bu's hand plays with them and makes them hurt, you say rebellion, so many of their foundations, plus Lu Bu also gave you the way, you say endure it, this is a boiled frog in warm water, chronic suicide. For a moment, all the families fell into silence, as if they were all thinking about the way out in the future.
