143 Expansion Expansion and Expansion Again

Lu Bu had already made up his mind, and of course Jia Xu had no objection to this.

He is now the most powerful military advisor by Lu Bu's side, and Lu Bu almost always consults with him on matters big and small, so his understanding of what Lu Bu has done is much more detailed than that of other commanders.

Jia Xuke is very clear about the importance of the implementation of land measurement and confirmation of rights in Taiyuan County.

Today's merger of states is the foundation for Lu Bu and his generals to compete for hegemony in the future, and the development of merger states will also determine whether they will be strong or not when they compete for hegemony in the future.

But the foundation of the state is too weak, the fertile land is small, and the population base is small, if it is not for Lu Bu, the state is the most suitable place for his foundation, Jia Xu was the first to be the captain Dong Zhuo died, there were a lot of more places than the state for Lu Bu to choose.

Therefore, the development and annexation of the state is the top priority of the small group of Lu Bu, and the matter of land measurement and confirmation of rights can be said to be the first solid cornerstone of the development and construction of the state, and many affairs in the future will revolve around this matter.

But this matter, the first offense is the local large and small families in Taiyuan County, that is, the local so-called rich gentry and tycoons.

The problem of the big families is not only the merger of states, but also exists in other states and counties, and most of them are more serious than those of the merger states. One of the major signs of these families is that the land they occupy is the most haode and the most abundant in the local area, and it is the lightest when it comes to paying taxes to the imperial court and the local prefectures.

It is precisely because of the increasing number of people who have lost their land that the taxes of the imperial court will not be as good as year by year, and the people will become more and more sad year by year.

on this. Jia Xu had in-depth thoughts, so when LΓΌ Bu proposed to try out land measurement and confirmation in Taiyuan County, Jia Xu immediately grasped the essential motive of LΓΌ Bu's actions and agreed with it.

However, he has been sweating about it, and now, just halfway through the implementation of this matter, a powerful obstruction has emerged, and the lord Lu Bu has made such a determination, that is, he has an iron heart. We need to push this matter through to the end.

"It seems that there are many big families this time, and they are going to be wiped out without a trace!"

Jia Xu sighed secretly in his heart, and in his heart, he didn't have sympathy for these people. Rather, they lamented that they could not see the situation clearly.

After pondering for a long time, Jia Xu stroked his long beard. Said slowly: "What the lord said. Xu deeply agreed, for the family, blindly dependent, blindly killed, wooed, killed. It is in line with the way of salute first and then soldier, in addition, the lord must also cultivate a group of talents. ”

As soon as Lu Bu heard it, he knew that he was now under his account. Most of the people from the local families in Bingzhou are the Wang family of Qixian County, the Wang family of Jinyang, the Guo family of Jiexiu, etc., all of which belong to the few families in Taiyuan and even the entire Bingzhou.

In addition, the original generals of the Bingzhou Army, such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, etc., who joined later, such as Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Han Hao, etc., are not people with rich families, if they can't make them feel that they have a future and benefits to follow Lu Bu to the east and west, how can they ensure their loyalty and motivation over the years.

Lu Bu Haha smiled and replied: "Mr. reminds me that I am doing this as another important thing, and now that I think about it, I should put it in the matter of treating the family and consider it as a whole." ”

Jia Xu said hello and said, "In this case, in September, the area that is easy to complete the measurement can be completed, and the next three months will be enough for the lord to do it." ”

"Well, okay, the list of these great families must also be prepared in advance, and when the time comes, let's see my thunderous methods."

When Lu Bu said this, he gritted his teeth a little.

It was late at night, and after the discussion, Jia Xu got up to say goodbye, while Lu Bu still stayed in the inner study, and continued to ponder there with the train of thought that Jia Xu had just mentioned.

That is to cultivate a group of big families, these people, of course, are all capable and reliable people under Lu Bu's account, but Lu Bu has expanded on this, and feels that since this is the case, why not expand the scope a little, as long as it is a person who works for him, in addition to these main figures, the middle and low-level generals in the army, and even those who have made military merits, or other people from all walks of life who have made great contributions, can they be considered in this way?

After all, in this world, land is the world's recognized form of wealth.

Perhaps, when the struggle for hegemony in the world begins, every war of foreign expansion should be linked to the acquisition and distribution of land, and the newly occupied places, the supporting clans will be retained, and the clans that do not support or are hostile will be wiped out, and their land wealth can be merged into the entire resource pool and redistributed internally.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled a little wryly, wondering whether it was time to take precautions and set up a special agency to study and formulate such a set of feasible land acquisition and distribution systems, and implement them.

If this system were to work unhindered, it would be an excellent means of maintaining the enthusiasm of the army under his command, as well as the families and clans in the territory, and even the people, with a real profit drive, which is much more reliable than an empty name of righteousness.

And look farther away, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, there is a lot of land available for acquisition and distribution, and later generations can accommodate hundreds of millions or even nearly a billion people, but now there are only tens of millions, in addition to the factors of increasing grain production caused by the progress of Jishu, it still shows that the land that can be reclaimed is actually very much; Outside the thirteen states of Dahan, there is still a lot of space for expansion of the border.

For example, Xianbei, Fuyu, Goguryeo and other places north of Youzhou, the Western Regions west of Liangzhou, and the south of Jiangnan, although it is difficult to expand to such a point according to the existing Jishu conditions, as long as this powerful driving force for expanding territory is injected into the blood of the entire nation, and generation after generation of people go forward and succeed, what kind of height and level can be reached, Lu Bu simply can't even think about it.

Dizzy, Lu Bu was already boiling with blood all over his body, and he couldn't sit still anymore, pacing back and forth in the study with his eyes shining, excited.

Just thinking about it, if he started the unswerving pace of the entire nation's external expansion, even if he could not see such a magnificent scene in his lifetime, it would not be in vain to pass through and be reborn this time.

In addition to being excited, Lu Bu didn't even notice the tuk tuk knock from outside the study door, until the door squeaked and pushed a line open, Lu Bu woke up and asked, "Who?" ”

"Husband, it's late at night, the concubine boiled some lamb soup for her husband, refreshing and dispelling the cold, please enjoy it."

As soon as Lu Bu heard it, he knew that this was Yan's coming, and this lamb soup soup was still under Lu Bu's suggestion, and a lot of seasonings were added, and since then it has become a favorite dish of Lu Bu in autumn and winter.

Three steps and two steps, Lu Bu strode to the back of the door, gently opened the door, and said with a smile: "Well, okay, come in." ”

Yan smiled at Lu Bu, slightly lifted the hem of his skirt, stepped inside, and behind him, followed by two maidservants, carrying a clay pot and a food box respectively.

Lu Bu returned to the desk and sat down, Yan took matters into his own hands, put on the food box, opened the lid of the box, and there were a few pastries inside.

When Yan was about to pick up the clay pot and pour the lamb soup, Lu Bu smiled, stretched out his hand first, and said, "I'll do this, sit." ”

The two maidservants saluted Lu Bu and Yan, obediently withdrew, and closed the door with their hands, while Yan knelt down next to Lu Bu happily, stretched out his right hand like a green onion, pinched up a round pastry, handed it to Lu Bu's mouth, and said softly: "This is made by the concubine herself, and the husband tastes it." ”

Under the light of the lamps and candles, Yan's face is white and red, and the smile is full of charm. There is no need to look closely, Lu Bu can see that compared with Diao Chan and Cai Yanlai, although the Yan family can also be regarded as a beauty, it is still inferior.

If you want to classify, Diao Chan and Cai Yan can be classified as super beauties, while Yan's can only be ranked among first-class beauties, this difference is not only beauty, but also temperament, which is difficult to say, but if you compare it, you will understand it.

Today's Yan family, the relationship with Lu Bu can also be regarded as relatively harmonious, indicating that although Lu Bu led the army back to Taiyuan this time and brought back a charming concubine Minchan, Yan's heart was unhappy, but she was very careful to cover it up, not revealing it at all, but using all kinds of means to please Lu Bu.

From entering the city to the present, Lu Bu has actually never rested, and he has only eaten some of the dinner hastily, so in the middle of the night, he is indeed a little hungry, under the diligent service of the Yan family, Lu Bu is like a wind and clouds, and the pastries in the food box, as well as the sweet and delicious lamb soup, eat it cleanly.

Seeing that Lu Bu was still a little unsatisfied, Yan was a little uneasy, and said softly: "The concubine, the concubine doesn't know the husband, this, there is less preparation, husband, husband, husband......"

Lu Buha smiled, reached out and picked up the cloth towel placed on the food box, wiped his mouth, and then picked up the ginseng soup to rinse his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I've eaten a lot, and if I eat it again, I have to hold on." By the way, after most of the work of half a year, everything is good at home? ”

Some trivial matters in the family, Yan actually knew that Lu Bu didn't care much about it, if there was really something he was concerned about, he would take the initiative to order it, and immediately just pick up some easy things for his daughter Lu Lingqi and say a few.

Sure enough, happy Lu Bu hahadaxiao, when he heard that Lingqi usually practiced martial arts diligently and was determined to serve under his father's account, Lu Bu was even more happy, and praised: "Good, good, if it is really a tiger father without a dog girl, these days, I have to be free, go and point her out, in the future, there will be a female Lingqi under the account to fight for her father, but it is also a beautiful thing." ”

"Husband!"

Yan screamed in dissatisfaction, and glanced at Lu Bu with big eyes, and immediately saw that Lu Bu's heart was itching.

I just remembered that I came back this time, but there were a lot of things that I needed to explain to the Yan family, so I immediately put away my smile and ordered: "Well, let the maid pick up here, I still have some serious things to tell you." (To be continued......)
