Chapter 124: I Want Field, Here You Go

When the Nighthawk sent the Tiger Talisman to Kuaiyue, Kuaiyue had not yet left Lu Jie's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The talisman has arrived, and it's time for the general to fulfill his promise." Kuai Yue shook the tiger talisman in his hand and handed it to Lu Jie.

"That'...... General Wang Wei ......" Lu Jie took the tiger talisman and looked at Kuai Yue suspiciously.

"Since it is not the same road, it is the enemy, General Lu can rest assured that Wang Wei will not appear again." Kuai Yue smiled.

Lu Jie's heart was cold, he had already seen the man in the strong suit behind Kuai Yue holding a brocade box in his hand, although he couldn't see what was inside, but the pungent bloody breath still escaped, and he could probably guess what was inside without asking, this was undoubtedly a demonstration, they could kill Wang Wei, and naturally they could also kill him Lu Jie.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lu Jieqiang smiled and said, "But it's up to Brother Xeno's orders." ”

"Then please ask Brother Zichuan to accompany me to the Xiangyang camp."

Kuai Yue borrowed 300 soldiers and horses from Cai He, accompanied by Nighthawk, and Lu Jie came to the Xiangyang camp together, first convened a group of generals in the Xiangyang camp with a tiger charm, and then Nighthawk led dozens of dead soldiers in the night owl camp to suddenly move, killing all the generals loyal to Liu Bei in the Xiangyang camp, and then the army was quickly taken over by the generals who were close to the Kuai family and the Cai family in the past.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses can't be as strict as the Guanzhong army, once the general dies, the soldiers and horses under his command are often defeated, plus Kuai Yue was originally quite famous in Jingzhou, and among the generals who took over, one of them was even more famous than Wang Wei, about ten years ago, known as the first general of Jingxiang!

It's also a little pitiful to say, Wen Ping and Ling Cao, the two generals who were captured by Lu Bu in the early days, and later with Lu Bu's southern expedition to the north, especially when the fierce generals under his command gradually became enough, they were almost forgotten by Lu Bu in the dungeon of Chang'an.

At the beginning, whether it was Ling Cao or Wen Ping, they were all against death, but this level was nearly ten years, and at the beginning, Lu Bu often sent people to ask, and after a long time, especially after Pang Tong put it forward, Lu Bu had more fierce generals such as Ma Chao, Pang De, Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Beigong Li, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning, so he forgot it for ten years.

If it weren't for Kuai Yue mentioning it this time, it is estimated that these two people would be completely forgotten by Lu Bu in prison.

In ten years, the world outside has been vicissitudes, Sun Ce is dead, and the contradiction between Ling Cao and Lu Bu has naturally faded, and now the relationship between Jiangdong and Lu Bu is not bad, and the most important thing is that even if Ling Cao is put back now, Sun Quan's side may not dare to use it.

As for Wen Ping, it is even more pathetic, in fact, when Liu Biao died, Lu Bu could recruit him as long as he wanted, after all, the lord was dead, and the enemy was not Lu Bu, so the fundamental contradiction between the two sides did not exist.

If you want to talk about grievances, there are naturally there, ten years, a person has several decades to squander in his life, it can be said that the most glorious years of the two of them are dedicated to the dungeon of Chang'an, what a tragedy.

But who can blame that? If it weren't for the lack of naval generals around Lu Bu now, Gan Ning cruising around the Yellow River and being wary of Cao Cao, Lu Bu would not have thought of these two people at all.

Could it be that Lu Bu didn't continue to recruit them? It was also a shame to say this, so although Wen Ping and Ling Cao came to Xiangyang more and more this time, they held back a lot of energy in their hearts to make some merits to show Lu Bu, and it was wrong for him to leave them in prison in the first place.

With the help of Wen Ping, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City were completely taken over by Kuai Yue, and the generals who were originally loyal to Liu Bei were killed cleanly, and now they are all people recruited from Guanzhong or Kuai Yue, plus Wen Ping, the resentment in the army is not too big, but in the afternoon, Xiangyang City returned to calm again after some turmoil, but at this moment, everyone knows that in such an afternoon, Xiangyang City has changed.

According to Liu Bei's plan at the beginning, he transferred Guan Yu back from Nanyang, and then Li Yan took over Nanyang, and when the Jiangdong elite had been destroyed, if everything went well, he could pacify Jiangdong before Lu Bu sent troops, and then integrate Jiangdong's forces, and then join forces with Cao Cao to jointly fight against Lu Bu.

Therefore, in addition to Nanyang and Yiling, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses were almost exhausted, and the fall of Nanyang and the defection of Xiangyang, the Yi who helped Liu Bei sit in the rear did not even understand what was going on, and was controlled by Cai He and others.

"Cai He, you dare to betray the lord! I ...... "Xiangyang Mansion, the Yi nationality who was tied up by the five flowers, glared at Cai He angrily and scolded him sharply.

"Why not?" Cai He sneered, glanced at the surrounding people from several families who had followed Liu Bei in the past, and sneered: "Liu Bei is unkind, married my sister, but let you traitors bully my Cai family, why should I be loyal to him?" ”

In fact, it's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to care, it's just that those families who followed Liu Bei have been suppressed by the Cai family for many years, and they have been snorting for a long time, and they naturally have grievances, these people are Liu Bei's real reliance, and therefore, even if he took the Cai family in order to appease the family who followed the Cai family at the beginning, Liu Bei also turned a blind eye to the suppression of the Cai family by his courtiers, as long as it was not too much, Liu Bei would not care.

It's just that Yi didn't expect that the revenge from the Cai family would be so fast and so violent.

"Take it down!" Cai He is quite a villain at the moment, but whether it is Kuai Yue or Wen Ping and Ling Cao who came back, they don't care too much about it, just like Liu Bei connived at these families to take revenge on the Cai family before, since the Cai family has contributed to the matter of taking Xiangyang, and has also made clear their attitude, those things that do not hurt Lu Bu at all will go with them, and the attitude towards himself and outsiders, Lu Bu has always been clear-cut, those who support him, even if there are some shortcomings, Lu Bu will tolerate it, but those who oppose him, You are a saint and someone else's, and you have nothing to do with me.

With the two important towns of Xiangyang and Nanyang being taken, and Jingzhou had little defense power except for these two places, the next thing was naturally much simpler, Hao Zhao began to arrange the defense line with the help of Wen Ping and Ling Cao, and Kuai Yue followed Zhuge Liang's practice and began to lobby the counties of Jingxiang to vote.

In addition, in order to better win over the soldiers, Lu Bu withdrew from the contract system on the basis of the uniform field system, and the land is still owned by the government, but on this basis, individuals can contract land and hire people to farm, of course, the profit must be within the scope of the government's specifications, which is also the decision made by Lu Bu before the king, because with Lu Bu's vigorous promotion of industry and commerce, the economic form began to diversify, and in the Guanzhong area, there are already some farmers who are active and well-eyed to live a rich life by taking advantage of Lu Bu's policy. Driven by these people, in fact, a situation has begun to appear in Guanzhong where there is land and no one cultivates.

In other words, in the past ten years, Lu Bu has gradually reversed the concept that the field is life in Guanzhong, and the introduction of a large number of high-yield crops and the continuous research of the Ministry of Agriculture, when food is no longer the only living demand of the people, the importance of the field has naturally begun to weaken.

However, in order to prevent the phenomenon of land annexation from reappearing, heaven and earth are still in the hands of the government, and the family can contract, but the government can directly intervene in the control, and in terms of taxation, some preferential treatment will be given, such as the tax set by the government is 30 taxes and 1, and after the contract, you can raise the 15 taxes or 10 taxes to eat, so that the family can rely on the fields to eat, but if you want to be rich and rich, as before, you can rely on the fields to monopolize the world's wealth, but the era is gone.

The emergence of the contract system, first tried in Guanzhong, no way, Guanzhong now has a situation of no one planting fertile land, at least with today's agricultural level, has not yet reached the point where a large number of labor can be liberated, Lu Bu used to have a headache how to take the land from the hands of the family and distribute it to the people, and now what we want to think about is how to make more people willing to farm.

In addition to increasing the number of talents in the Ministry of Agriculture, now is the time to need the help of the family, don't you want land? Give it to you, plant it for me, give me as much as you want, but you have to plant it for me.

I don't know that I was cheated by Lu Bu again After accepting this policy, the land of Jingxiang also began to stabilize rapidly, a large number of fields, except for the title deed handed over to the government, the others have basically not changed, and the benefit of tax reduction, after Lu Bu's direct publicity among the people, and the Department of Justice quickly intervened, this good was naturally remembered by the people on Lu Bu's head, and the people's heart is what Lu Bu needs.

However, to completely implement these things in place, it is impossible before the king, this is a huge project, first of all, the Department of Justice is not enough to supervise the personnel to spread to the whole country.

These can be taken slowly, anyway, the framework has been set, and Lu Bu is not afraid that these families will disobey the yang and yin, and when the people gradually adapt to the new law, plus the drive of Guanzhong, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will not be the family that oppresses the people, but has to propose higher treatment, begging the people to farm the land, but now, anyway, in the eyes of the family, this is a compromise by Lu Bu to them.

The Jingxiang family began to stabilize rapidly, and actively sent money and grain to the government, wanting to contract more land, although it did not have a huge profit as before, but it could not stand a lot of land, especially after many families learned that there was a shortage of people to farm in Guanzhong, although they did not understand why this phenomenon occurred, but there were still some well-connected families who began to fight the idea of Guanzhong fields and wanted to go there to contract.

In this regard, they received a warm welcome from the officials in Guanzhong, and they were worried that no one planted it, and the people in Guanzhong did not say that they were rich and rich, not to mention all, but at least now there are indeed fewer people who make a fortune by farming, and the Silk Road is their financial road, and some capable people are now more willing to go to the Silk Road to pan for gold, as for farming, at least in Chang'an, it is a person who has no interest to go to farming, even if Lu Bu has issued some preferential policies for food many times, there are still few responders, not that they do not believe, but that they make too little money from farming.

The ministers of Guanzhong did not have a headache because of this matter, Xu Rong received a ridiculous order at the beginning of the year, Lu Bu was ready to destroy one or two countries and use their population to farm, when he first received this news, Xu Rong was not good.
