As soon as Lu Bu saw Xihe Taishou Cui Jun, he knew that he was a state ping, but after hearing it, it passed, and when he was generally called, he mostly used Cui Xihe as an honorific title.

Today, when I saw Cai Yong calling Cui Jun Zhouping, and learned about Cui Jun's family background, combined with it, when he recited the name Cui Zhouping, he always felt a little familiar, just now, he suddenly remembered, Cui Zhouping, Boling Cui Zhouping, isn't it the Boling Cui Zhouping who was known as the "Four Friends of Zhuge in later generations"?

Boling Cui Zhouping, Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan, Runan Meng Gongwei, Yingchuan Xu Shu, are the celebrities who had close contacts with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong when they were in Jingzhou, and were known as the "Four Friends of Zhuge Stone".

Lu Bu remembered that this stubble had not yet become a reality, and it was natural to have this reaction.

However, when he followed this clue and thought about it, he couldn't help but be greatly discouraged.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was only eight or nine years old, and he should have been in his hometown of Langxie in Xuzhou, and he did not follow his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Yuzhang with his younger brother, let alone to avoid the war in Jingzhou. Xu Shu's age is enough, but he doesn't know where to live in seclusion at this time. As for Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei, they are not very famous, and Lu Bu knows very little about them at all.

Besides, at this time, Cui Zhouping probably didn't know that there was still such a person as Zhuge Liang in the world.

"Alas!"

Lu Bu sighed lightly on his horse, very emotionally moved by the things he remembered that had not yet become a reality.

The current shijie, I don't know if it is because of his arrival, or because of Weishenme, has begun to deviate from the historical trajectory in Lu Bu's memory.

The hero Dong Zhuo has only been in charge of Luoyang for only a few months, and he died mysteriously, and Li Dao and Guo Yan also entered Luoyang, but with them, there are also Li Su and Guo Tai, the commander of the Baibo Army, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who have left Luoyang, will still be like the original trajectory, tangled up with the princes of all walks of life in the Kwantung to raise troops?

Not to mention himself, after he woke up, he vowed to change the fate of this life, but now he is far from the inherent trajectory in his memory.

And if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others do not have troops, Yuan Shu will have no reason to privately appoint Zhuge Xuan as Yuzhang Taishou, Zhuge Liang will have no reason to leave Xuzhou Langxie with him, and then Zhuge Xuan will have no reason to defect to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao because the imperial court appointed another Yuzhang Taishou, and Zuihou has been staying in Jingzhou.

Then do you want to go to the court and recommend Zhuge Xuan to take office in the state?

Lu Bu's little heart was pounding uncontrollably, feeling slightly dizzy because of this sudden thought.

But after taking more than ten steps, Lu Bu's excited mood calmed down and gave up such a tempting idea.

First, he didn't know Zhuge Xuan at all, and no one around him knew him; Second, now that it is nearly a year old, even if he goes to the court, he will come and go, and it will be too late in time; Third, Zhuge Liang is still young at this time, even if Zhuge Xuan is brought to Bingzhou now, unless Zhuge Xuan can always stay in Bingzhou, otherwise, Zhuge Liang can still leave at any time.

Along the way, Lu Bu thought about it like this, from Zhuge Liang to his lifelong enemy Sima Yi, and then to Zhou Yu who was "Yu Liang for a while", and many other well-known strategists, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Lu Xun, Xun Yu, Xun You, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Li Ru, Tian Feng, Fa Zheng, Lu Su, Xi Zhicai, Fu Zhu, Xu Shu, and so on.

But the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

There are so many top talents, except for some who are not suitable for their age now, and other people are not at all what he can call now, and even if he goes to invite them in person, he may not be able to invite them, in addition to the fact that this is the time when the troubled times of the princes are about to start, there is also one of the biggest obstacles, that is, his reputation, and family background, which are not big enough to make these top talents loyal.

The only thing that made him happy was to get Jia Xu from Dong Zhuo one step earlier, compared with these top talents who have both the identity of celebrities and wealthy families, Jia Xu is much simpler, and it is not much different from Lu Bu, they are all three nos.

When he rushed back to Jinyang City, settled Cai Yong, returned to his inner study, and sat quietly for a while, Lu Bu was relieved, put aside a series of thoughts caused by Cui Zhouping, gave up these boundless reverie, and refocused on the reality in front of him.

The reality in front of him, no matter from that point of view, can be said to have a long way to go.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu simply spread out a huge silk silk on the desk, polished the ink, picked up the commonly used wolf pen, pondered for a moment, wrote the word "internal affairs" in the middle of the silk, and then drew a small circle.

The construction of internal affairs is his top priority today, and it is related to whether the huge army in his hands can sustain it.

In the past few days, what he and Jia Xu have discussed the most is actually the construction of internal affairs.

After a moment of silence, he put pen to paper, and listed the results of the discussion one by one, around the word "internal affairs", which were "taxes", "infrastructure", "workshops", "basic industry", "agriculture", "commerce" and "education", of which "taxes" were income, which was listed on the left, and all other items, which were expenditures, were listed on the right.

In this era, faced with such a big issue as building a state, Lu Bu involuntarily used some methods learned by later generations, such as the "brainstorming method", "fishbone diagram", and the "mind map" used now.

These tools can play a very big role in grading and refining large and complex topics layer by layer.

With the passage of time, the silk silk on the desk has been densely written, and the items are connected by lines, reflecting the relationship and hierarchical relationship between each other.

Lu Bu let out a heavy sigh, put down the wolf pen in his hand, stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, picked up the ginseng soup sent in by the maidservant, drank it all, and lowered his head again to take a closer look.

Realizing that there was nothing missing, he picked up the pen again, and dotted an ink dot on what he thought was the most important item to show it.

Among them, among the "taxes", there are the most sub-items dotted with ink dots, including "tax rate", "land policy", "tax system" and so on.

Although there is only one isolated sub-item of "tax rate", Lu Bu knows that there are too many things that need to be considered and sorted out.

If it is further subdivided, there is land rent, that is, land tax, which is levied according to land, including land tax and land tax; The poll tax is levied according to the number of households and the number of people, including household endowment, change endowment, oral endowment, and calculation endowment, as well as arbitrary apportionment of contributions and arbitrary fees set up by local governments; The force tax, that is, the forced labor, and the additional endowment derived from it, and so on.

This is not only the main taxes on land and population, but also customs duties, vehicle and vessel taxes, money ordinances, and so on.

In all this, Lü Bu was prepared to simplify these taxes in accordance with the advanced practices of later generations that he remembered, so as to not only enrich the government treasury, but also eliminate malpractices and promote the healthy and steady development of agriculture, industry, and commerce.

"Land policy" and "tax system", he has not yet considered maturity, put aside for the time being.

The items on the right are all inputs and places where money needs to be spent, such as "road construction" in "infrastructure", "improvement of tools and equipment" and "parts and components production" in "workshops", "energy" and "materials" in "basic industry", and "agricultural planting" and "animal husbandry" in "agriculture" are all important points to be prepared to put on the agenda.

"Road construction" is easy to understand, even in later generations, there is a saying, called "if you want to get rich first build the road", Lu Bu imagined, first Taiyuan to Yanmen and around the Taiyuan Basin post road widening and construction, if you can timely make out the "cement" of this era, you can build a cement road across the times.

If it can be realized, whether it is the mobility of the army, or the transfer of materials, as well as the transmission of information, personnel exchanges, and commercial circulation, it can greatly benefit.

The "workshop" is based on a large number of craftsmen recruited by Lu Bu from Hedong, and there are many things that can be improved, such as horse-drawn carriages, ploughs, waterwheels, bed crossbows, catapults, etc., and there are many parts that can be researched and manufactured, bearings, springs, mold components, etc., which can be said to be promising.

"Energy" is coal, which has begun to be applied in this era, but it is not very useful; "Materials" include "steel smelting", "cement", "gunpowder", etc.

As for the "agriculture" item, although Lu Bu admits that he has more than 2,000 years of accumulated experience, it may not be enough to see compared to the old farmers of this era, so the place for improvement is to raise the importance of agricultural planting from a higher level, rather than as it is now, although the Han Empire is based on agriculture and agriculture-oriented, but the status of farmers is the lowest, and many valuable experiences, because there is no intervention and refinement of intellectuals, can only rely on oral transmission from generation to generation, which can easily lead to loss and distortion.

In addition, there is also the promotion of commercial circulation, the promotion of education in a broader sense, the integration of business knowledge, agricultural knowledge, equipment manufacturing, etc., into the education system, and even Lu Bu has the idea of implementing certain financial means at the appropriate time.

These ideas, when he woke up in this life, he took into account, and now, the richest part of the state is in his hands, and in the future of Ke Yujian, as long as he is not completely defeated by other princes on the battlefield, he can always be entrenched here, so these ideas now have the possibility of implementation.

The problem is that these highly professional knowledge and skills, in later generations, many of them are common sense that everyone knows, so they ignore the basic conditions for implementation, so now Lu Bu wants to tinker with these in advance, what he can provide is actually just a general direction, and some subversive concepts and ideas, and Jishu details, he didn't remember so clearly, what he really relied on was all kinds of talents in this era.

At the end of the day, it's the talent that makes these ideas a reality.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu sighed again, feeling a faint pain in his head.
