Since the death of Dong Zhuo, Chang'an has always been synonymous with poverty and backwardness in the hearts of the entire Jiangdong people, not much different from the secluded and cool border areas, the population is thin, the people's livelihood is withering, no one wants to come, even if Lu Bu later entered Chang'an, began to vigorously develop and promote the people's livelihood, from the four years of Jian'an to the current Jian'an twelve years of full combat is only eight years, during which there are several battles, including the expedition to Xiliang, the expedition to the Hetao, the expedition to the Western Regions, the expedition to Xianbei, and finally to fight Yuan Shao, in the first few years, Lu Bu has almost been using troops abroad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lu Xun and Gu Shao didn't understand why Chang'an was so prosperous today, and when they heard that Lu Bu was also watching the game in the bow field, they all wanted to meet this prince who was known as the god of war in the north, and made all the people of all countries rush to worship, so after Yang Fu made an invitation, the two quickly agreed without much thought.

There are also bows in the Central Plains, but there are not many people who play them, Lu Xun and Gu Shao don't know much, they are limited to books, but they don't know why they are so prosperous here.

The juju field is not located in Chang'an City, but in a large place in the west of Chang'an City, from a distance, which is what the Juju field is, it is clearly an acropolis, and there are special soldiers patrolling around it to maintain order.

Chang'an City was already very prosperous, but when Lu Xun and Gu Shao followed Yang Fu out of the West Gate, they found that the people here were more dense than those in Chang'an City, and people were constantly rushing towards the bow field from all directions, some came out of Chang'an City, but more came from all directions.

"Today's bowing, not only the lord came to watch it in person, but also the finals of the team of Chang'an Sixth Division today, not only Chang'an, but also all the wealthy families around him who have some family assets will come to watch the game." Looking at the crowd of big-name long dragons in front of him, even Yang Fu did not have the slightest privilege here, and took Lu Xun and Gu Shao to line up in the crowd and explained to the two.

"What are the six parts?" Gu Shao said with a puzzled expression.

"The hussar battalion led by General Xiong Kuohai is one, General Ma Chao's day-to-day battalion is one, the shooting battalion led by General Pang De is one, the white horse battalion led by General Zhao Yun is one, and the women's battalion specially established by the eldest lady Lu Lingqi and the tiger roaring battalion led by Beigong Li are one, collectively known as the six, in addition to the eldest lady's women's battalion, the other five are also the five main forces in Yongliang at present, which are directly mobilized by the lord." Yang Fu explained with a smile.

"What about the city guards?" Gu Shao said curiously.

"The city guards belong to miscellaneous soldiers, not among the main forces, they have been eliminated before, and in previous years, the championships generally appeared in these five parts, but this year it was one more by the eldest lady, which is considered an upset." Yang Fu said with a smile.

What does it mean to be upset, Gu Shao has no intention of studying, and his mind is all occupied by the word miscellaneous soldiers, they have seen the city guards before, well-trained, and extraordinary, I don't know other places, but it is just momentum, if it is placed in Jiangdong, it is definitely at the elite level, which general can lead such an army, it is estimated that he will wake up with a smile when he dreams, but here, it is a miscellaneous soldier, which makes Gu Shao very unconvinced, thinking that Yang Fu is deliberately exaggerating.

"I've heard about the selection mechanism of the city guards before, and they will go out for training all year round, how can this kind of army be a miscellaneous soldier?" In Gu Shao's opinion, no matter how powerful the so-called five departments were at the beginning, but after so many years, the city guards must have become more and more elite after the survival of the fittest, and they are by no means comparable to the five parts of the dogs and horses.

"Experience?" Yang Fu was stunned, and then shook his head with a smile: "The scope of activity of the city guard army is only in the Western Regions, and in the Western Regions, there are not many forces that have the courage to take the tiger whiskers of our army, and the five departments are directly hired by some big countries to transport goods to and from each other, and only the big countries such as Rome and Guishan are qualified to invite the five troops and horses to fight, and only these tasks will have a certain risk, there is not enough price, and the cost of any one of the five thousand troops to go on an expedition is almost comparable to the tax paid by small princes like Hanzhong for a year." ”

Goo~

Gu Shao swallowed his saliva, Hanzhong, small princes, a year's worth of taxes? Is this making money? It's clearly a money grab!

"If you want the five generals to go out, the cost will be doubled!" It didn't seem to be enough to stimulate him, Yang Fu said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to invite the five generals, even a big country like Rome rarely spends this money, and once a year is already good." ”

Not to mention once a year, even once every two years, the money in the Central Plains is enough to raise an army of 10,000 people.

"All this money goes to the treasury?" Swallowing his saliva, Gu Shao asked.

"The money of the five generals will be drawn 20% as a tax burden, if it is a troop, 20% will be returned to the treasury, and then 20% will be drawn as the settling-in allowance of the fallen soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers will be distributed according to the size of the merit, and the Department of Justice will send a special meritorious record officer and inspector to accompany the army to avoid the abuse of power for personal gain, after all, the gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and the lord will definitely prevent anyone from encroaching on the interests of others while making money for the generals under his command."

Speaking of this, Yang Fu turned his head to look at the two of them and said, "If the families of the two virtuous nephews want to do business on the Silk Road, they can also join, but in terms of taxes, it is sixty percent of the income." ”

Gu Shao nodded silently, didn't answer, and didn't ask why it was sixty percent, because you are not someone from Lu Bu, and you are willing to give you a way to make money, you have already snickered, and you want to enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers and high-ranking officials under Lu Bu, it is a dream.

Lu Xun's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked at Yang Fu and said, "Uncle, can you tell me that in the Central Plains, there are families involved?" ”

"Yes, but who it is, we have to keep it a secret for these families who are willing to cooperate with us, and the virtuous nephew doesn't need to ask more about this, no one will tell you, and no one dares to say." Yang Fu smiled.

Lu Xun's mood was inexplicably heavy, and Lu Bu played a big game of chess, although he has not expanded militarily in the past five years, but in fact, he has infiltrated the Central Plains, Shuzhong and even Jiangdong from all aspects through other ways.

Think about it carefully, in the past five years, driven by Guanzhong, even if the Jiangdong region has also changed a lot, not big, but has penetrated into the people's livelihood, not only that, culturally, Chang'an Book Company has begun to put books in the Central Plains in a cheap way this year, not to mention the temporary impact, but in the long run, not only let more poor people no longer reject Lu Bu, but also some Guanzhong ideas to be transported in, such as the legal system, such as some criticism of Dong Zhongshu's remarks, the harm of Confucian supremacy.

This set of combination punches down, although on the turf, is still the current situation, but in terms of influence, Lu Bu has been in front of the princes, more importantly, the status of Confucianism in the past has been severely challenged, Lu Xun and Gu Shao have found that in recent years, there have been students from Legalism, Zonghengjia and other schools of thought, although they have been suppressed badly, but they have been repeatedly banned, among them, if it has nothing to do with Lu Bu, it is not believed to be killed.

By near noon, the group of three had finally entered the huge bowing field.

Peculiar architectural style, the whole bow field is integrated, in the middle is a length and width of a hundred zhang flat land, also known as the arena, around the arena, is a circle of seats, but look closely, these seats are not placed randomly, but in the gossip arrangement, containing the five elements of yin and yang changes.

Yang Fu said with a smile: "This arena is three years ago a down-and-out Roman architect and several Taoists, Confucian masters designed, immediately built in a year, the whole frame is to follow the Roman Colosseum design, but the interior layout is to the five elements of the gossip of the position, sitting in the north and facing the south for the respect, the lord and several ladies and the ministers and masters of the position is over there, the two virtuous nephews are coming on behalf of Jiangdong, you can follow me to meet the lord." ”

Lu Xun and Gu Shao looked towards the north when they heard this, and they saw that in the direction of the north, where the cadre was located, a man in a brocade robe sat in the center, although he did not wear armor and armor, but as soon as he sat there, there was a surge of Jin Ge Iron Horse, knife-like facial features, full of masculinity, and extremely impactful, just a glance, I am afraid that it will be unforgettable for life.

"That is Lu Hussar?" Lu Xun and Gu Shao said in surprise.

"Yes, it's my lord." Yang Fu nodded.

"Why are you so young?" Gu Shao frowned.

Lu Bu and Sun Jian are contemporaries, right? How does it look, although it is quite majestic, but it is younger than Sun Quandu, if it is not for the occasional vicissitudes of life and maturity in his expression, it is almost hard to believe that he is nearly half a hundred years old (Liu Bei is now forty-six years old, and Lu Bu is older than him).

"Taoist Zuo Ci has a good relationship with my lord, and often sits and talks with the lord, which is quite wonderful." Lu Bu is getting younger and younger, not to mention Lu Xun and Gu Shao, who just came, they are all fans in Chang'an, and Yang Fu can only talk nonsense at the moment.

"The two virtuous nephews will come with me to see the lord first." Yang Fu said with a smile.

"There's no hurry." Lu Xun waved his hand and said: "Since Lu Hussar is here to see Ju, don't use state affairs to distract him, and the visit is not in a hurry." ”

"It's fine." Yang Fu nodded, led the two to find their place and sat down, Yang Fu handed an iron bucket-like thing to the two: "You can see more clearly with this." ”

"What is this?" Lu Xun learned from Yang Fu's appearance, put the iron bucket to his eyes, looked at the arena below, and couldn't help but exclaim, obviously from a distance, but as if he was watching from the left.

"Some gadgets invented by the Ministry of Industry, called clairvoyant mirrors, are not cheap, the lenses in the middle are made of glass, don't break them, I only have these two, but it took a year to buy them." Yang Fu shook his head and said.

Lu Bu's officials are generally not low, this is an open secret in the whole world, just these two clairvoyant mirrors, it will cost Yang Fu and other high-ranking officials a year's salary, it can be seen that this thing is expensive, but its effect is even more magical, Lu Xun and Gu Shao are Jiangdong heroes, and they quickly saw the ability contained in this small clairvoyant mirror.

"Bang~"

At this moment, a cannon rang out in the arena, and the bow tournament finally began. (To be continued.) )
