Chapter 4 Your wife, I raise her
Hearing that there is money, everyone's eyes lit up.
Chen Gong then asked: "Dare to ask the lord, where is the money?" β
saw Lu Bu smile slightly: "King Liang's tomb!" β
What the!
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.
Yes, the Tomb of King Han Liang is a tomb complex where the tombs of several royal princes are buried. It has been stolen many times in history, and the first tomb robbery was Cao Cao. But even so, in later modern times, there are still a large number of jade artifacts unearthed.
What's more, Lu Bu once visited the tombs of King Liang, and the location was in Mangdang Mountain.
In this era, it was 70 kilometers away from Pengcheng and 150 kilometers away from Xiapi.
Although the landscape changed in later generations, LΓΌ Bu fully believed that he would be able to find the tombs of King Liang.
As long as you get this money, why worry about not having funds.
After a long time, the stunned Chen Gong said weakly: "Lord, are you talking about the tomb of King Liang Xiao?" β
Lu Bu nodded: "Not bad!" β
What the!
Chen Gong was so shocked that he took a step back, took a deep breath and said, "Lord, you are risking the world's disapproval. If it is known, it will be attacked by the whole world! β
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu raised his head and laughed: "Then are you going to die slowly, or do you want to go crazy!" β
"This!" Chen Gong was speechless.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Now that the Han Dynasty has existed in name only, the candidates are independent. The Son of Heaven can't command any soldiers and horses, and even if we dig up the king's tomb, there may not be anyone to crusade. If we don't dig it, we'll just wait to starve to death. Dig, we can all be clothed and fed. β
"This!" Chen Gong was stranded again.
And the rest of the civil and military also whispered.
However, everyone's heart is full of fire.
After all, now that the Han dynasty exists in name only, there are not many people who are loyal to the Han family.
Zang Ba swallowed even more, you must know that his soldiers and horses have no military pay at all. If you have all this money, then the brothers will have a good life.
In the twinkling of an eye.
"!" Zang Ba was the first to speak: "Lord, let's dig, dig his mother!" β
"Yes, what is the use of leaving this money for the dead, it is better to lend it to us. Big deal, just pay it back later! β
"Hahahaha, yes, that's the reason. Dig, dig, we'll have to eat! β
β¦β¦
Seeing the crowd surging, Chen Gong was also helpless.
The fact is also true, the government treasury has no money and no food, let alone the common people, but even the army cannot support it.
The only way to maintain the regime is to exchange materials from the scholars and local tycoons.
However, although the ideal is good, Chen Gong still asked: "Lord, even if you want to dig up the tomb of the king, no one knows where the tomb of King Liang is." Besides, the king's tomb is usually full of mechanisms, but it is not so easy to dig! β
Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Gongtai, I know where King Liang's tomb is." β
Chen Gong was taken aback, but he no longer objected, and hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, then do it!" β
"Hahaha!" Seeing that everyone was supporting, Lu Bu immediately ordered: "Gongtai, you will collect excavation equipment tomorrow and prepare a thousand carriages for use." β
"What, a ...... A thousand! Chen Gong was shocked: "Where are so many carriages in the city?" β
Lu Bu smiled: "In short, try to collect as many as possible." β
"No!" Chen Gong had no choice but to answer.
After the feast, Lu Bu returned to the living room.
But right now, Lu Bu is not willing to face Minchan.
Because of the fusion of the two memories, Lu Bu had an indescribable feeling.
But tonight, he was going to meet Liu Bei's two wives.
Lady Gan and Lady Moose.
Previously, he had ordered people to take his second daughter to his mansion, precisely in response to Cao Cao's famous words.
Your wife, I will raise it.
Since Liu Bei regarded it as a mustard, then he would raise it.
You must know that Liu Bei lost his wife five times in history. Yuan Lu Bu had already returned it once, and when he came, there would definitely not be a second time.
As long as he doesn't send it back, maybe he can change the history of Shu Han. After all, Adou was born to Mrs. Gan.
I have to say that the big-eared thief still has a good fortune. The two women are white and beautiful, and they are completely embarrassed by the closed moon. Especially Mrs. Elk, not much worse than Mink Chan at all. After all, Minchan is also older now, not as good as when she was a girl.
"I've seen Wen Hou!" Seeing Lu Bu coming, the two daughters bent down one after another to salute, but they looked very restrained. After all, she was suddenly pulled into Lu Bu's mansion, how could the second daughter not be afraid.
Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Two ladies, yesterday I went out of the city to attack Cao Ying at night, but I was stopped by Liu Bei. At that time, I begged him to spare me with two ladies, and guess how Liu Bei replied to me? β
This!
The two girls looked at each other, and their hearts were uneasy.
After a moment, Mrs. Gan asked, "Dare to ask Wen Hou, how can the husband reply?" β
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu laughed: "But the big-eared thief insisted on killing me. He also said that brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes. In his eyes, the two ladies were nothing more than discardable clothes. The two ladies are so beautiful, I really can't bear to let the two of them wander away with Liu Bei again, can the two younger sisters serve me from now on? β
What the!
The second daughter was instantly shocked and panicked.
"Wen Hou, you ...... How can you ......" Lady Elk was anxious to say something, but she couldn't tell.
Mrs. Gan then suppressed the stirring in her heart and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but my sister already has a husband, and she will never turn her back!" β
"Really?" Lu Bu smiled: "Then you just wait to see if Liu Bei will come to redeem you!" β
The second daughter's heart sank, and she pursed her lips, but she didn't know how to speak.
How did they not know that in Liu Bei's heart, their value was not much at all.
There was no longer any need to stay, so Lu Bu got up: "From now on, the two of you will live in my mansion." You can't leave the city without my orders! β
The second daughter's heart was cold, but she was helpless.
In the troubled times, where do they have any human rights?
Lu Bu did not go back to bed, but asked Chen Gong to hand over a number of government affairs to him to check. He needs to know exactly what the situation is under his rule.
Although Chen Gong didn't understand why Lu Bu would check the government affairs in person on a whim, he still reported all the information.
After reading it, Lu Bu felt a little comforted in his heart.
He also counted 300,000 households with a population of nearly one million. In this era, nearly half of the population was occupied by the Tujia clan and local tyrants.
The scholars did not pay taxes, including the servants of the house.
So, on the whole, there should be about two million people under his rule.
As long as he guards the two million population well, he is qualified to compete for power.
You must know that by the time of the Three Kingdoms, the entire Shu Han did not even have a million people. After the Battle of Chibi, the total population of the country was only more than one million.
Of course, this also includes some that are not registered.
But in general, it was the continuous war, which led to the absence of one Han people. The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines.
This is a true portrayal, and the final result is that the national strength of the Han people is weakened, and there is a tragic tragedy of chaos in China.
And now that he has come to this world, he naturally does not want to let such history repeat itself.
Ten years before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were 60 million households in the Han Dynasty, and the population of the scholars should be about 100 million in general.
With famine and years of war, the population has plummeted.
Lu Bu estimated that there should be about 20 million people in the entire Han Dynasty now. As long as he keeps the population under his rule well, and then attracts some people to govern well, he will definitely be able to strengthen the country.
Because he lived in this land all his life.
There are a large number of saltpeter mines, clay ores and oil in the Huaiyin area, and Xuzhou, which is now Pengcheng, has all kinds of metal ores.
Iron, saltpeter, coal, petroleum, copper, limestone, marble and other resources are abundant.
In other words, he doesn't need to expand his territory at all, as long as he develops Xuzhou well.
When he brings industrial civilization under his rule, it will not take ten years for him to become the strongest candidate.
When the time comes, even if the whole day comes down to attack, he will not be afraid.
But if he gets bogged down in war, it will be difficult for him to develop.
Well, the first step is to set up a Ministry of Industry.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu unfolded his pen.
