Lu Bu said in a positive voice: "From this point of view, the most essential reason is that there is no difference between population and productivity. ”

What?

Population vs. Productivity?

Everyone present was stunned, and they didn't know what Lu Bu meant.

Pang Tong took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Forgive Tong for being stupid and don't know what Wen Hou means!" ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly, where do these people understand terms such as population, productivity and production relations.

Lu Bu smiled and asked, "May I ask Shiyuan, during the period of Emperor Heng, how many people did my Han have in the Han Dynasty?" ”

Pang Tong thought for a moment and said: "Looking back, this point is ominous, but I guess a little, there should be nearly 10,000 people." ”

"Not bad!" Lu Bu's jaw: "There are tens of thousands of people, that is, about 100 million people." However, with the current land and productivity of our Han Dynasty, it is difficult to feed this 100 million people. In a year of famine, large numbers of people will be displaced and left without food. ”

As for the three points that Shi Yuan said, they are indeed the root cause. But if you want the officials to be absolutely clear, the family is strong and not bullying, even gods can't do it. In the event of a famine, the local government must first report it to the court, and after the court issues a disaster relief order, the local government can open a warehouse for disaster relief. Communication and transportation are inconvenient. By the time relief is actually implemented, it is often months in the past. A few months is enough time for countless people to starve to death. If the people can't survive, how can they not rebel? ”

At this time, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the Hereafter, where disaster occurs, news is often received within a day. Then the local government will be able to direct the relief immediately, and it will not delay too long.

But this era was not only limited by communication and transportation, but also by many legal restrictions.

If there is no court decree, open a warehouse for disaster relief casually, it will be beheaded.

Who knows if you are really a disaster relief person, or if you are using the name of disaster relief to enrich your own pockets?

Communication and transportation are the biggest constraints.

In fact, every time a disaster is granted, the local officials are also greedy.

The corruption of the officials at the end of the Han Dynasty was indeed so rotten that it couldn't be worse.

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Pang Tong asked rhetorically: "According to Wen Hou, the root cause is not the corruption of officials, but the large number of people that Wen Hou said?" ”

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Corruption in the rule of officials is naturally the main cause, but I don't want to blindly blame the rulers. The reason why Emperor Ling reused eunuchs was because the scholars held great power. In order to deal with the family, Emperor Ling even did not hesitate to create a system of buying officials. It's a pity that the family is intertwined, and he can't change it if he wants to. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the population plummeted. If you can govern the kingdom well, you will surely usher in a prosperous period. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven is weak, and the local army is self-respecting, and there are all the candidates. ”

Lu Bu paused and said: "Power is like poison, everyone will rush to it. No one wants to give up the right in their hands. If you want to unify the world, it's not easy to say! ”

Everyone present was moved, how did they not know that the troubled times would last for many years.

And for many people, it is in their interest to achieve fame in troubled times.

This is a dialogue between Pang Tong and Lu Bu, and Pang Tong couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask Wen Hou, now that the candidates are divided, what choice will you make?" ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Shang Dynasty Xia, Zhou Dynasty Shang, Qin Dynasty Zhou, Han Dynasty Qin." History is always rolling forward, always being replaced by new ones. The Han Dynasty has been like the setting sun, and the new era in my heart is called 'Hua'. Shi Yuan, would you like to work with Ben Hou to create a beautiful Great China Empire? ”

As soon as these words came out, Pang Tong's heart was shocked.

He saw Lu Bu's ambition and the importance that Lu Bu attached to him.

Pang Tong stepped out and bowed: "Tong, I've seen the lord!" ”

"Hahahaha, hurry up!" Lu Bu raised his head and laughed.

In order to show the appearance of Corporal Lixian, Lu Bu also had to go down to help Pang Tong in person.

"Shi Yuan, I will temporarily appoint you as the Taishou of Pengcheng and govern Pengcheng for me."

"Thank you, lord!" Pang Tong couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

As soon as he came, he was sealed as Taishou, which shows that Lu Bu attaches great importance to him. And he knew that Lu Bu had now moved a large number of people to Pengcheng, which could be described as a waste waiting to be rebuilt. For him, this is a complete comprehensive test.

After Pang Tong worshipped the Lord, Lu Bu also took the opportunity to announce his next development plan to everyone.

Pengcheng is the focus, and Lu Bu wants people to look for all kinds of minerals.

As the road to rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce, it is also necessary to vigorously develop industry and commerce.

Now that the spring ploughing has been completed, the peasants have idle labor, and they will be of great use.

And for this, Lu Bu had to thank the feudal society for the conscription system.

The so-called conscription means that the people must unconditionally contribute their labor to the state without compensation. In times of peace, it may be light, but in troubled times, that human life is like a mustard.

And Lu Bu's next step is to carry out a large-scale conscription, and it is a nationwide conscription.

However, the only difference is that Lu Bu will be paid for forced labor. In other words, if the people serve, he will pay the wages.

He wants to slowly turn the whole people into a labor force for all the people.

Only labor can create value.

If you don't work, all of Lu Bu's systems will be a castle in the air, without roots.

The next major projects include housing, schools, distribution centers, roads, salt pans, and various factories.

A large number of people who moved from Yuzhou, Lu Bu would not recruit soldiers, and all of them were used for production and construction.

He now has 160,000 soldiers and horses, enough to protect Xuzhou.

Today's military-civilian configuration can be regarded as a more reasonable configuration.

Yantian is the first major project that Lu Bu took the lead in presiding.

You must know that since ancient times, salt and iron have been an important item of the court monopoly. Because of the backwardness of technology, this is the lifeblood of the economy, and it is also a very important strategic material.

And Lu Bu was speechless and sighed when he thought that a pack of salt would cost a few yuan at most in the future, but the price in this world would be hundreds of times higher.

When it comes to the process of boiling salt, this world is already very good. However, it is basically well salt, which is a snowflake salt that is steamed and boiled with salty water from the well lake, and finally condensed into a solid.

But it is conceivable that all kinds of cooking in a pot are not only costly, but also inefficient.

In many cases, salt is in short supply. And in many regions, there is no salt to eat.

As for the drying of salt by seawater, it was recorded in the Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that eating this sea salt was not good for the human body, so this art was abandoned.

How Lu Bu didn't know, it was because they didn't know how to refine sea salt twice. There are a lot of minerals in seawater, how can they be eaten directly.

Xuzhou is close to the sea, as long as the salt fields are built, Lu Bu can directly supply the whole country.

As long as Haiyan comes out, it will definitely have a huge impact on the country's economy.

Economic warfare, few people in this era will understand.

By the time they understood, Lu Bu was already at the forefront, and no one could catch up.

Lu Bu spent a day drawing the engineering drawings of the salt pans, and handed over some precautions for secondary refining to the Ministry of Industry to study.

However, if we talk about mathematical knowledge, we can still go from shallow to deep. Chemistry knowledge is like a book for people in this world.

Relying on Lu Bu alone, when will he be able to develop chemistry.

Just when Lu Bu felt that his whole head was big, a piece of news made Lu Bu instantly happy.
