. yankuai: "If the status of merchants is improved, will it alleviate the problem of insufficient financial resources in the state, and by the way, restrain the power of the family," Lu Bu couldn't help but think of Liu Bei, who started as a businessman in Youzhou in later generations, and borrowed the Xuzhou clan Mi family to compete for Liu Bei in the Central Plains, although the status of the businessman in this era is not high, but the ability to make money is not small, many people can use the rich rival country to describe it, if the status of the merchant is improved, the state will inevitably gather, and even if the financial crisis cannot be completely solved, it can be greatly alleviated

At least after the status of the merchant is raised, the family will not be so arrogant

"Don't do this, you will lose the heart of a scholar," Hearing Lu Bu's proposal to improve the status of a businessman, Xun Yu hurriedly stood up to oppose it

"The lords and businessmen value profit over righteousness, if their status is improved, they will lose the hearts of the world's scholars, which is very detrimental to the future events."

Seeing Xun Yu's anxious appearance, Lu Bu was speechless for a while, didn't he just improve the status of the businessman and charge more business taxes, how could Xun Yu resolutely oppose it

"The lord thinks twice, this matter must not be done," Jia Xu also opened his mouth to echo

"At least not for now, you can't ......" Jia Xu's eyes crossed a touch of fine light, the family is also not conducive to the stability of the situation, if you are sure, it is okay to improve the status of a businessman, but in today's merger state, this move is really inappropriate

"Scholar" Lu Bu kept walking around the room, and the scholar power in this period was almost a monopoly official, and the system really couldn't be solved for a while

"You also know that after this war, there are places where money is used everywhere...... We won't be able to get this money for a while, will those big families be willing to take out money and food?"

"Although the businessmen value profit over righteousness, but they are not useless, as long as it is beneficial, they all dare to take risks, and now the state is in a depression, improve the status of businessmen, the enthusiasm of businessmen has been mobilized, a large number of materials can be transported into the state, business is prosperous, the government levies the commercial tax can be increased, there is a lot of money, and various follow-up matters can continue to be carried out, the world's businessmen have countless money, just need to knock out one or two from them, and the state can be solved."

"Although it can solve the urgent need, the result of doing so will cause a large number of scholars to leave, which is not conducive to subsequent development," Xun Yu frowned deeply

"The lord is now in charge of the state, there is a serious shortage of civil officials, and I have lost the support of the family, and I am worried that the management of the counties will be chaotic," Xun Yu temporarily took charge of the state affairs, and was deeply anxious about the current state of the state

After years of war, there is a serious shortage of officials at all levels, and if the family is evil, there is really no substitute official to preside over government affairs for a while

"This matter is what I examined, the current criteria for the court to take officials are questionable, there are still a large number of talents in the poor family, since we can't get the support of the famous family scholars, why not focus on the poor people, how is the progress of the talent order," Lu Bu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said slowly

"Yes, there are many people who are not ambitious, and there are still many talented people, and Zhicai is one of them...... However, although the lord's order to seek talents was issued for a long time, it did not attract many real talents...... This move still needs to be carefully considered, "In Xun Yu's eyes, although the merit order is a good selection method, but after all, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, and although there are many scholars from the cold family, after all, they are still inferior to the handsome people in the clan, of course, these Xun Yu are embarrassed

"The people recruited by the lord's order to seek merit are mixed, and I am still worried that the management will be more difficult."

"Wen Ruo has thought about it a lot, recently I plan to organize the corresponding supervision department to supervise and manage, of course, this still needs Wen Ruo to bother more, how about Wen Ruo be the chief official" Lu Bu didn't expect that he would be opposed just after he proposed a measure, and even the order to seek talent was criticized by Xun Yu

It seems that every reform will be hindered by many draws, even if they are as resourceful as Xun Yu and Jia Xu, they will not be able to shake off the shackles of this era

However, Lu Bu is a modern person, he is full of confidence in the policy of "meritocracy", so isn't Cao Cao because of this policy and has obtained a large number of talents, as for improving the status of businessmen, Lu Bu is also a dead horse, a live horse doctor, he doesn't know how the result will be, it is better than not doing it, of course, he is still confident in the ability of businessmen

No matter what era the merchants are always the most aggressive, whether it is the profiteers who did not hesitate to defect to the separatist forces for the sake of money, or the large number of merchants who did not hesitate to attack the Xianbei tribe for the sake of money a few days ago, they almost all risked their lives

Businessmen are interested in profits, depending on how to use profits to drive them to do what they want

Lu Bu felt that the money spent on killing Hu Ling was worth it

A large number of caravans poured into the state, and the government received a large amount of revenue, not to mention

The income from horse sales has risen sharply, and there are tens of thousands of Xianbei slaves in the mines of Jingguan outside Jinyang City...... These are the fruits of the efforts of businessmen

If it is completed by a large army, I am afraid that at least the army of more than 10,000 people will lose tens of thousands of stones, and it may not be successful

The merchant is definitely a big killer when he uses it well...... Because they can do anything to succeed...... If all kinds of conspiracies and tricks are used on foreigners, Lu Bu feels happy when he thinks about it

"Lord...... Let's not talk about businessmen and talent selection for the time being, how to get along with Your Majesty next," Jia Xu said another sentence coldly, and glanced at Xun Yu as he spoke

Although the emperor arrived in Bingzhou, he had always lived in Lu Bu's mansion and never appeared in public

That's not the way to go

If the emperor keeps being like this, Lu Bu's reputation may be worse than Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan and others, after all, it is reasonable that His Majesty is not in charge of the government for a while, but with Lu Bu playing the banner of Liu Bian, Liu Biao will not come forward again, and Lu Bu's title of traitor may not be able to escape

Although Jia Xu is not interested in this emperor, he has to consider it for Lu Bu, although Lu Bu's power is not small, but the emperor is still a piece of gold, and it is really a waste to use it well, of course, in Jia Xu's eyes, the emperor is just used to make use of it, and he is not like Xun Yu in his mind, and he has such a deep-rooted idea of loyalty to the monarch

And Xun Yu also stared at Lu Bu with blazing eyes after listening to Jia Xu's words
