After a long time, Zhu Houxi slowly asked, "Why did I come to have a wife and a family?" Can the people agree to this, the Ming Dynasty, which was defeated so hard, has not been eradicated, and your ministers can be willing? Don't you pay the most attention to teamwork? ”

"It's time for me to be in power for once, although everyone has their own opinions, but after all, I am the king and the decision-maker." Lu Bing said with a smile: "You kid is too selfish to run for his life, and he left me with a big problem." I know that you like women, and I will keep your harem for you. ”

"But I heard that you gave all of my harem to your soldiers." Zhu Houxi said.

Lu Bing pointed at Zhu Houxi and said: "What have you heard in your brain, Chen Hong's intelligence work is too ineffective, yes, I divided your harem beauties, there are too many of these people, I don't raise so many people for you." But I will keep all the concubines who have been entitled, these people are my younger brothers and sisters, even if you want to, I don't want to. If so, wouldn't it be tantamount to humiliating my face? After you return to Anluzhou, you will have a good life and cultivation, don't give me any moths, I will prepare all the belongings for you, and ensure that you are safe and worry-free. You usually exercise and exercise, and you can do anything, but don't do anything that makes me embarrassed, otherwise I will definitely not spare you. If you spare you again, I'm afraid that heaven will not tolerate it, and you will really be excited. ”

"Brother Bing" Zhu Houxi burst into tears again, Lu Bing is still his loyal and righteous brother Bing, and he has not become a cold-blooded king because he has taken over the world.

Lu Bing waved his hand and said, "Don't give me such sensational expressions, okay." Go to the harem to meet your mother. ”

"The queen mother still lives in the harem?" Zhu Houxi was surprised, and Lu Bing nodded. Zhu Houxi's feelings gradually eased, Lu Bing, a strange man, did everything as a matter of course, and there was nothing surprising about it.

As Lu Bing said, in the future, Zhu Houxi was sent to Anlu Prefecture and lived in the Xingwang Mansion, but this matter was not concealed, but told the world. Although some of the people were bitter and claimed that it was too merciful. It was too confused, and some people agreed, but everyone admired Lu Bing's kindness and affection. Lu Bing's personality cult has reached a higher level, and he can be called a generation of holy masters. Overall, the results are good.

This is all for later, and I will show it later. After Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi finished talking that day. Zhu Houxi went to the harem to meet Mrs. Jiang. and Lu Mu, who is now the Empress Dowager of the Fan family. The mother and son hugged their heads and cried, and in the evening, Lu Bing set up a banquet, and the two families of Lu and Zhu sat together. Lu Bing said the decision he told Zhu Houyu during the day, and all the concubines and concubines of Zhu Houyu knelt down to thank him, but Lu Bing did not dissuade such a kneeling, but accepted it calmly. Everyone was very happy and happy for Lu Bing's shocking decision. is also happy that Zhu Houxi can escape the catastrophe of the death of the country, and the banquet can be said to be a great joy.

Zhu Houxi's serious illness has not recovered. Naturally, you can't drink too much, so the banquet didn't take long to end. After the banquet, Lu Bing and Meng Xueqing, Qi Xiaorui and Yang Feiyan did not take others to visit the Imperial Garden at night.

Yang Feiyan has the straightest temperament, pursed her lips and said with a smile Lu Bing said: "You seem to be gentle today, brothers get together, and you spare Zhu Houxi's life, but in fact, you are secretly happy in your heart, and you are very proud, this is generally the real victory you think is the real victory, not only the victory on the surface, but also the victory of the fundamental psychological battle, this is what you value the most." It's really a child's heart, but the people don't know that Lu Bing, a saint who is admired and respected by tens of thousands of people, is actually a child. ”

"It's the kid, what's the matter?" Lu Bing said with a laugh.

The three girls looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Bing wrote and painted: "The unification of the world is completed today, and the territory of thousands of miles is in the pocket." A heroic man in Huanyu, Wenfu prides himself on being the first person. A new country is opened, and brocade clothes are in charge of guarding the country. The earthquake is four and thousands of seas, and the Lu family is a great success. ”

After writing, Lu Bing threw down the wolf hair in his hand and said: "Who said I was a child just now, come on, I still feel that the heir is not enough, give me another child." ”

Saying that, he pounced on the three of them, the three girls smiled and ran away, and the four of them chased and played in the back garden, where there was a trace of the king of a country and the appearance of the mother of the world, but it was really indulgent and happy, carefree.

—————————————————————————————————————

In June of the second year of the new country, there was no more war in the whole country, and the sporadic small uprisings, small turmoil, and some people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seek the world were suppressed and subdued. The people are living a good life, the country is unified, all are united, and the country's strength is thriving. When the localities prospered, Lu Bingxing relocated the people, and all the barbaric and borderless lands could be occupied, but they could not be occupied empty, and the time limit was one year, otherwise the land would be recovered. Whether you farm, fish, grow trees, dry salt, or whatever, as long as you can develop the wild land, it can be owned by the individual, and it will be exempt from taxes for two years.

The territory of the new country is very large, and there are naturally desolate places, and many poorer people go to the wasteland to venture out and establish their own family businesses in order to live a better life. This is the new national dream led by Lu Bing.

The Lu family has no additional tax burden, only according to the classification of crops, whether you plant trees for timber or grow grain, it is a few percent of your harvest, and it is clearly stipulated that someone will calculate and measure. In addition, any unreasonable poll tax, public money tax, labor fees, promotion fees, military salaries, etc. are exempted. With such a move, all localities have shown prosperity, and the development of wasteland has also made up for the shortfall of other tax revenues. According to the number of households collected by Yan Song in June of the third year of the new country, the income from the sharing of shares in various places has maintained a slow upward trend. In this way, instead of suffering from the loss of the country, the people below have become much richer.

Once a person is rich, there are two kinds of things, and that is to be full of lust and lust. There is nothing shameful about this, but it is a happy thing, there is no banquet without wine, there are few people on the colorless road, and there is also a sex of food. Coupled with the inherent idea of passing on the ancestry of the Chinese people, the population began to increase. Just imagine how much labor the country will have in a few decades, and how much wealth it will be able to create, and domestic demand alone will be able to supply the country for its own production and consumption.

Besides. When there are more products in the hands of the people, they naturally can't eat them, and it is always inconvenient to exchange them alone, so various state-owned and private businesses began to collect and sell, and the people themselves saw the benefits, and if they were not too troublesome, they would take their own products to the nearby market to resell. Merchants profited from it, and money flowed. Business tax has always been a top priority for the Lu family, so the prosperity of commerce showed the results of Lu Bing's initial plan in a short period of time. In addition to the prosperity of local business, trade with Western Liang and South America also allowed the goods of the new country to go abroad. To earn a high price difference, there are powerful state operating institutions, and there are also self-reliant organizations of the people, which is nothing more than an increase in the corresponding taxes.

The Lu family opened up the salt industry. No more illegal salt will be allowed to overflow. Salt can be sold everywhere, but the tax rate is slightly higher, not as high as it has been for thousands of years, so that people are desperate to sell illicit salt. The reduction of various tax rates did not affect the country's finances, but led to a prosperity in all aspects, allowing money to flow into the new country. Originally, the production capacity and manufacturing capacity of the previous dynasty were ahead of the world, and now under the leadership of Lu Bing, it is even more so, and the new country has become the world's place of business and prosperity. It's no longer just one or two places that are thriving. It's a full-fledged development. The tree dies, and the man lives. The whole country was revitalized by Lu Bing.

Although the tax rate is reduced, once the basic amount is huge, the amount of money after sharing is still huge, so there are still people who are not heart-to-heart. Many wealthy businessmen took risks in an attempt to bribe officials to evade taxes, and Lu Bing's policy of maintaining a high level of income and honesty played a certain role, and the officials were not only not bribed, but also strictly investigated and dealt with them, regardless of whether they were clean and self-righteous or the deterrence of the Lu family's national policy. The supervision and intelligence system of Jinyiwei also restricts this, and the report will come in time, even faster than Jinyiwei's intelligence, and the human eye is everywhere.

The new country's legal system is sound, and the death penalty is directly imposed on such greedy and lawbreakers, and the law of confiscation of family property is not merciful, even if it is the relatives of important ministers. This punishment will never implicate others, as long as others do not violate the law, they will not be investigated, if they use power for personal gain, it will be a crime plus one degree, but what kind of torture Lu Bing will not use to behead Lu Bing, only punish the person responsible, and punish according to the division of responsibility.

The policies of the new country are linked one after another, layer by layer, mutual restraint, and fair, just and healthy development, bringing the new country to a new height. As for foreign policy, the new country is to salute first and then soldier. All the states that come to our country must treat each other with courtesy, but we must strictly abide by the laws of our country, and it is absolutely impossible for people to do evil things like Yangcheng in the Ming Dynasty. If they violate the laws of the new country, they will be severely punished, even if they are their own citizens, and if there is any objection, they will be eliminated immediately. Internally, he is a humble gentleman, and externally, he is a tiger and wolf, which makes the people applaud and shout happily. The new country in charge of the Lu family has become the most common word in the mouths of the people.

However, the merchants seek profit, and as long as they follow the rules and be honest, the new country is a place of paradise, and a place full of gold. Therefore, not only because of Duan Qingfeng's relationship, South America and the new country traded, but even those distant countries such as England and Spain also came to the new country to do business, and regarded the new country as the heavenly kingdom. This is not to mention the small countries bordering Annam, which are even more revered as gods to the new country. Although the merchants of the new country did not dare to bully the weak even when they went abroad due to the provisions of the national law, they were never afraid of things and held their heads high everywhere, because behind them was a powerful new country.

Countries admired the prestige and strength of the new country and wanted to buy the advanced weapons of the new country, thinking that they would secretly obtain the goods and go back to China for research, but they did not expect that after inquiring about them, the new country would not refuse to come, and the special departments of the state carried out arms reselling. Of course, if you want to buy hot air balloons and steamboats, don't even think about it, all you can buy is an old-fashioned repeating firecracker. Even this Gentile is a good place to eat, and the price is not unacceptably high.

Of course, although these repeating fire guns are well maintained and are covered with thick butter to prevent rust, they are still difficult to hide the essence of second-hand goods. However, the technology is newly stated, you like to buy it or not, if you want a new one, it's no problem, double the price to manufacture. Even second-hand goods are not used for many years, so they are still of high quality, so many foreigners buy them, and even South America and Xiliang buy them in large quantities. The price they bought was much higher than the price of manufacturing, and Shen Yeshan, the manufacturer of the original burst firecracker, gritted his teeth with hatred, claiming that Lu Bing was really a profiteer, but it had to be said that the gunpowder of the new country was far more powerful than the original black powder, so he could only be forced to buy it.

This transaction alone has solved the backlog of munitions that have been replaced and are in storage. These things are stored in warehouses, and maintenance costs a lot of money, and they take up a lot of space, and after many years, they can only be disposed of as scrap metal. But now it has been sold, not only has the money invested before been recovered, but it has also made a huge profit. In addition, the share of gunpowder required for each weapon is different, which involves the method of firing, the type of barrel, and the range and the safety of the launcher, all of which are very precise and are also a secret of the new country.

If you want to research it, it is not so easy with the other party's technology nowadays. Once these guns run out of gunpowder and ammunition, they will be a lump of scrap iron, and the iron pellets are easy to say, and they can make them at will, but they can't make gunpowder at all, so they can only keep buying it from the new country. In this way, the business will continue, so Lu Bing even hopes that the fight outside, the more fierce the fight, the more consumption, and the better his arms business will be.

Now the Lu Jiajun has begun to replace the new type of firearms with elite troops, not only increasing the structure of rifling, but also adding trace elements to improve the barrel, so that the barrel will not fire too much heat and deformity. The most important thing is ammunition, Lu Bing began to plan to invent a primer device, which will become the shape of the bullet he saw before the crossing, so that the bullet is more aerodynamic, more accurate and more lethal. Once the Creation Bureau successfully develops this technology, then the foreign countries will be more dependent on the firearms of the new country, because the Lu family has already formed an assembly line model in the manufacturing industry, and all kinds of utensils have models, and it is impossible for others to manufacture unless they first create such an assembly line manufacturing that is also advanced. Then the dependence on the new country will become more and more serious.

The plan to snub the enemy is a huge conspiracy hidden by Lu Bing behind this qiē. Although the outflow of advanced firearms will make Fanbang make some progress, it will eventually lag behind Xinguo by more than one or two grades. In the long run, the new kingdom will continue to progress, for the sake of commercial interests, and more importantly, to resist foreign enemies, and the foreign vassals will become accustomed to buying and using, and will become lazy, and their own creative power will be hindered. The science and technology of the new country will always be ahead of the foreign countries of Fanbang and stand on the highest peak. (To be continued......)
