"What news about Bofu makes you so happy!" Zhou Yu was very puzzled, isn't it just a family letter, how could it bring such an effect, you must know that Sun Ce just now really wanted to choose someone to eat, but now he is comfortable, and the fundamental reason for this is that family letter.

"Gong Jin, you and I are still here struggling with how to deal with the poisonous plan of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, but here my second brother has already prepared all of them for me!" Sun Ce pointed to the letter proudly and said, Sun Quan is his second brother, the eldest brother is like a father, Sun Jian died early, so Sun Ce's feelings for Sun Quan are very deep, the younger brother is promising, and he can share the troubles of being an elder brother, which makes Sun Ce very happy!

"Oh!?" Zhou Yu walked over, he and Sun Ce have a very good personal relationship and often walk around Sun's house, it can be said that Mrs. Sun is about to treat Zhou Yu as half a son, if it weren't for Sun Ce's sister Sun Shangxiang is really small, she may have to marry Sun Shangxiang to Zhou Yu, so she didn't care about it and picked up the family letter and read it, the more she read Zhou Yu, the more frightened she became, and the entire letter completely figured out Liu Mang's recruitment strategy.

Liu Mang lacks the people, he has a lot of wealth in his hands, and the abundance of Shouchun is not worse than that of Xuzhou, and the output value of a year can be used by a state, otherwise Yuan Shu will not be able to build a luxurious palace in Yangzhou in Shouchun that is not worse than Luoyang Chang'an, and it is impossible to have the money to rebuild it after Shouchun is broken. So Liu Mang had to find someone to help him cultivate the land.

And now the princes of the whole world have paid attention to the problem of the people and the population, and there is no tax without the population, and there are no soldiers without the population. The consumption of the population by the annual war is huge, before the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were 60 million people, but now it is not even a third, and there are countless casualties in a big war, so let's take the recent war!

On Guandu, Cao Cao lost 60,000 horses. Yuan Shao lost a full 150,000 even more, and the 200,000 population disappeared in such a half-year battle, not including the destruction of the cities along the way and the casualties of the people brought about by the war, and such battles were staged every day under the land of China. The battle of Liu Biao and Sun Ce on the Yangtze River in Jingzhou, the battle of Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoguandu, the battle of Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui and Wu'an, and even Liu Ran ran fought with Liu Mang once some time ago.

In the war, not only the soldiers died, but more people died, so now the land of the Han Dynasty is very vacant.

Even Liu Ranran knew that after being driven out of Xuzhou by Lao Cao, he would have to take a large number of people with him, although he was suspected of disturbing the pursuers with the people. But there is also a kind of scruple of Liu Ran for the future.

Thirty percent of the tax seems almost fantastical, but you have to think that instead of getting nothing, it is better to get a little, so that because of the advantages of the land policy, it can bring a huge population base to Liu Mang's army, so that Liu Mang can not only conscript. There can also be an import of military rations, why not do it, and the most important thing is that once the people are under Liu Mang's command, they can't help the people! The tax can be a year, or half a year, or even just a part of the people, these fleeing people have left their original homes, abandoned the fields, and it is too late to turn back! I can only bite the bullet and fall for Liu Mang.

Therefore, what Sun Quan's family letter to Sun Ce is that since Liu Mang, the king of Shu, wants to implement a tax of thirty percent, then we will fulfill him. Not only did he fulfill it, but he also put this His Royal Highness the King of Shu on the commanding heights of morality, called him the saint king, and publicized it widely among the people.

It's better to lose than to block! Dayu completely sued me for this truth, you don't let the people go to Shouchun. Can you do that? Kill them? If they are afraid of death, they will not go, the river bank line is so long, and your armor is geometric! Moreover, the soldiers recruited are all from these people, and they will bear to attack their fellow villagers! Once Liu Mang was put on the commanding heights, he told the people that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, was a great sage, and he only collected 30% of the taxes in Shouchun under his rule, and never increased the tax, helping Liu Mang to publicize, so that his reputation spread all over the streets and alleys, and when Liu Mang's reputation spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty, he Liu Mang still dared to quibble! Do you dare to adjust taxes!

If Liu Mang adjusts the tax, it is untrustworthy, this is the taboo of the superior, once Liu Mang adjusts the tax, then he will be blamed by the world, and he will have prestige in the future! Liu Mang has already offended the world's corporal clan, if he offends the people of the world again, even if he Liu Mang is the true son of heaven, it is impossible to get the world again, and Liu Mang's father-in-law Lu Bu will follow Liu Mang to become the laughing stock of the world.

If Liu Mang does not adjust the tax, but insists on it. Although Liu Mang has a large amount of land in Shouchun, and the fertile land in Shouchun is also very rich, don't forget it, the fertile land is limited after all, how many people can he accept in Liu Mang's land? Three tiers of taxation? His army wants to drink the northwest wind in the future! And the more the population, the greater the pressure on Liu Mang, the greater the burden, the more the population, he needs a large amount of food supply, Liu Mang's current grain and grass are all allocated to him by Lujiang Lu Bu, a large number of people pour in, even if the grain is planted immediately this year, it will have to be harvested next year, and this year those people can't stop eating! Where do you get all this food for food? Then you Liu Mang have to supply it, after all, people are recruited by you, and he Liu Mang can provide food and drink for tens of thousands of people? Fifty thousand? Lakh? Or two hundred thousand? Even if the rations are sufficient, then you don't need seeds for farming! Thousands of acres of fertile land are all used in seeds, then I am afraid that Liu Mang himself will have to drink the northwest wind, once there is a shortage of food, then it is Liu Mang who will die miserably, and those hungry people will be able to do anything.

Why are there troubled times? One reason is that those scholars are ambitious and want to get a better family status and get more resources in the world! There is another reason, that is, the common people have no food to eat and cannot live.

If you can't survive, you will naturally rebel! What Sun Ce wants now is not to block the people of Jiangdong from not going to Yangzhou, but to let them go, not only let them go Sun Ce can also encourage them to go, as long as the general number of people is controlled, imagine throwing more than ten or two hundred thousand people on Liu Mang and Lu Bu's territory, these people can't produce grain in the first year, but they also have to eat, where do these people's rations come from? Naturally, Lu Bu's army needs to allocate food, how much military food does Lu Bu have enough for hundreds of thousands of people to eat and drink? You must know that Cao Cao has almost three states, but he can't afford to raise an army of 100,000.

Lu Bu's army itself has an army, plus these people, just wait for the food to run out.

Moreover, Sun Quan's strategy asked Sun Ce to send an envoy to contact Liu Bei in Yuzhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and even Liu Biao in Jingzhou could send an envoy, there is no eternal enemy between the princes, only eternal interests, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has no opinion on Lu Bujun! Lu Bu has fought Huangzhou and killed a lot of Jiangxia soldiers, captured the son of Liu Biao's general Huang Zu, can have such an opportunity to weaken Lu Bu's army, I believe Liu Biao will not refuse.

It doesn't take much like this, you Liu Mang don't lack the population to have a population! Jiangdong sent Liu Mang hundreds of thousands of people, Jingzhou Liu Biao sent another hundreds of thousands, and then let Liu Bei of Yuzhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou each use hundreds of thousands, then Shouchun and Yangzhou will directly enrich the people, so the consequence of this is that there is no food to eat, if Liu Mang and Lu Bujun distribute the food to the people, I am afraid that his army will be hungry, and the army's heart will naturally be unstable, and the population of one million! Is it enough to rely on military rations alone? If it's not enough, just wait for the people to rebel! The hungry army faced a large group of hungry people who did not want to die, and Sun Ce was very happy to think about it! .

If Lu Bu's army is ruthless enough, his food is not detained, so that his army is full, and the people have nothing to eat, then it will still be the same result, the people rebel, even if Lu Bu can suppress it, then Lu Bu's army will suffer heavy casualties, and the most important thing is to lose its trust in the world. It's hard for people to walk without faith.

A dishonest person, will you believe him! Will you follow him, will you die for him? Absolutely not. At that time, Liu Mang will really steal chickens and rice.

"Haha, the second brother is the pillar of my Sun family, and the second brother is in my Sun Ce!" Sun Ce was happy to a certain extent, it was originally a situation of suffering, but he was distorted by Sun Quan, and it completely became a dead end, it was the death of Liu Mang's army and Lu Bu's army, you must know that Sun Ce spent hundreds of thousands of troops and failed to take Wancheng to eliminate Lu Bu, and now only hundreds of thousands of people can wipe out Lu Bu in the Lujiang River, why not!

"Second Duke Sun Quan?!" Zhou Yu thought a little, he was not carried away by this kind of good news like Sun Ce, but his heart tightened, this plan can be called a must, without excellent wisdom can not be thought of, from here it can be seen that the second son is very talented, but talented people will be subordinate! Zhou Yu didn't know Sun Quan, Cao Cao once said that life and death should be like Sun Zhongmou, Sun Quan was still very young at that time, and he knew how to strategize, if Sun Quan was Sun Ce's son, then this is Jiangdong's luck, but Sun Quan is Sun Ce's younger brother, and the two brothers can really get along in harmony! Is this second son really not ambitious at all! Zhou Yu was silent, he didn't know how to remind Sun Ce, although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had a good relationship, and the two were brothers! But Sun Quan is related by blood, and compared to Sun Quan, he is still an outsider after all.

ps: I can't go down! Dizzy bye bye to sleep! For the sake of having a gun, it's so hard! Rob a tip subscription haha!
