"Why not?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Chen Gong exhaled: "My lord, the land tax and the poll tax are the top priorities of the tax, once it is canceled, where will the treasury get money and grain." This strategy has never been done for a long time, why does the lord have such an absurd idea? Is it just a commercial tax set by the lord? ”

Lu Bu smiled in his heart, of course he knew that this method had never been used for thousands of years. You must know that even in later generations, Huaxia only abolished the agricultural tax in 2006.

"Don't be in a hurry!" Lu Bu smiled: "You may not understand it now, but in less than ten years, you will find that compared with commercial taxes, this Tianfu is not worth mentioning at all." Now we have the treasure of King Liang's tomb as the treasury, and there will be no economic crisis in the short term. Trust me and do it my way! ”

"This!" Chen Gong was speechless, and his heart couldn't help but beat the drum.

How is it possible to do such a thing with a commercial tax that can support the entire treasury with a commercial tax.

Chen Gong couldn't help but advise again: "My lord, although we now have the treasures of King Liang's tomb as the treasury. But if you don't collect the land, you will definitely sit and eat nothing. I'm afraid that in a few years, we will have no money to use! ”

"Hahaha!" Lu Bu raised his head and smiled: "Gongtai, let me tell you." People are never satisfied. I didn't collect the land tax, but I made a law that the people had to sell their grain to the government. In this way, the people have spare money in their hands. Once they have money, they want to eat better, dress better, live better and even play better. ”

Lu Bu paused slightly: "So they will use the money in their hands to spend, and they will use it to buy food, clothing, housing, and play." The more you spend, the faster the economy will grow. This way, you don't have to worry about the treasury running out of money at all. As long as our tax laws are in place, the treasury can receive more funds than you can imagine. ”

This!

As soon as these words came out, Chen Gong was stunned on the spot.

At this moment, Chen Gong's brain was in chaos, and he was completely shocked by Lu Bu's words.

He seemed to be able to clearly feel that Lu Bu's words revealed a big mystery, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.

Suddenly!

When Chen Gong straightened out all the ideas in Lu Bu's words, his brain seemed to be hit by Dao Baiguang, and the Lingtai suddenly became clear.

"I see, I see!" Chen Gong was instantly full of excitement, and with his fists hugged and made a big salute to Lu Bu: "Listening to the words of the lord is better than half a lifetime of hard study in the palace." Such a worldly learning, palace, taught! ”

"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu couldn't help laughing. He's just plagiarism, not original at all.

But the laws he formulated have all been verified by history, and naturally they will not be toppled.

But the premise is that he has to vigorously develop industry and commerce.

And people in this world only read a few Confucian classics, how can they understand mathematics, physics, chemistry and economics.

Seeing that Chen Gong no longer objected, Lu Bu said with a straight face: "Gongtai, tell me to go down and do my best to do a good job in spring ploughing." In addition, the military cantonment system must also be implemented. Agriculture is fundamental, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"No!" Chen Gong replied in silence.

He looked at the military cantonment system formulated by Lu Bu, and it was indeed a good strategy.

In this way, as long as there are no natural disasters in the coming year, there will be a huge increase in food, and there will be no more worries about running out of food.

Once again, Chen Gong admired Lu Bu so much. Lu Bu is no longer brave and scheming, but has great wisdom.

It seems that Lu Bu has been bestowed by heaven and man, and he is the master of heaven who descended from heaven to the world.

In fact, the tuntian system has been in place for a long time. At present, Cao Cao is vigorously implementing the tuntian system, which has greatly increased Cao Cao's strength and does not worry about military rations.

It's just that Lu Bu implemented it more actively and thoroughly than Cao Cao.

And Lu Bu's main goal at the moment is in Pengcheng.

Pengcheng (later Xuzhou) is the gateway to Xuzhou, and there are a lot of mineral resources here.

Lu Bu had a development plan for Pengcheng in his heart, so he stationed heavy troops here.

Pengcheng was previously massacrated by Cao Cao, and many people died.

Many of the fields are now barren and vacant, and they can be used for sowing seeds.

When the policy was implemented, Lu Bu wanted to go to the Ministry of Industry, but he came to report it to the soldiers.

"Report to the lord, Liu Bei led the troops straight to Pengcheng, less than 20 miles away from Pengcheng."

"Liu Bei?" Lu Bu frowned, Liu Bei has now taken refuge in Cao Cao. Although Lu Bu knew that Liu Bei would not be willing to be subordinate, but after all, he was now under Cao Cao's command, would he dare to disobey Cao Cao's orders to attack him. Could it be that Cao Cao refused to pacify the war with him.

"How many soldiers and horses did Liu Bei come?" Lu Bu asked.

"About three thousand."

"Three thousand?" Lu Bu chimed in.

It seems that this is completely Liu Bei's headquarters. Three thousand soldiers and horses dared to attack him, did they want to die?

However, the current Xuzhou can not withstand the war.

Therefore, Lu Bu still didn't want to start a war with Liu Bei. Moreover, spring plowing is imminent, and if there is a war, it will definitely be affected.

How can Liu Bei withdraw from the army?

After pacing and thinking for a moment, Lu Bu finally came up with an idea.

Xiapi was 70 kilometers away from Pengcheng, and Lu Bu led two personal guards and galloped all the way to Pengcheng.

When Lu Bu arrived, Liu Bei also happened to be outside Pengcheng.

Seeing Lu Bu coming in person, Zhang Liao, who was in charge of guarding Pengcheng, couldn't help blushing.

Pengcheng has 30,000 soldiers and horses, ten times more than Liu Bei, how can Lao Lu Bu come in person.

He had just been reporting a letter.

You must know that he now has the golden silk soft armor given by Lu Bu, even in the face of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he has nothing to fear.

In this way, Zhang Liao had to ask: "Lord, Liu Bei has only 3,000 soldiers and horses, why do you need to go in person, the last general will let him have no return!" ”

Lu Bu smiled: "Wen Yuan, I naturally know your Xiaoyong, and I also believe that you can completely defeat Liu Bei." But have you thought about one thing? ”

Zhang Liaoyu frowned: "Please publicize it!" ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Wenyuan, the essence of war is interests. Think about it, even if we defeat Liu Bei, what can we gain. We have nothing to gain except for the loss of our troops. If we can fight a war without interests, we will not fight! ”

The essence of war is interests, and wars without interests will not be fought.

Zhang Liao suddenly stood on the ground, reminiscing about Lu Bu's words.

But I saw Lu Bu smile and said: "Open the city gate, I'll go to meet Liu Bei!" ”

Soon, seeing that Lu Bu only led a few guards out of the city, how could Liu Bei not move.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also gathered around Liu Bei to prevent Lu Bu from making trouble.

Guan Yu saw Lu Bu coming slowly, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, Lu Bu didn't bring Fang Tian's halberd, it seems that he wants to talk to the eldest brother." ”

Liu Bei nodded in approval.

In a moment, Lu Bu stopped his horse 20 paces (about 30 meters) in front of the formation.

Lu Buang laughed and said, "Brother Xuande, it's been a long time!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Bei snorted coldly. If you want to say that the person he hates the most, there is no one more than Lu Bu.

"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu laughed: "I don't know why Brother Xuande led the troops here this time, thinking that I, Lu Bu, am so deceitful!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Bei shouted angrily and coldly: "You robbed the tomb of the king of my Han family, and as a descendant of the Liu family, how can you not take revenge." Today, I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to take your head and worship the ancestors! ”
