Chapter 231: One Lu, Two Zhao, Three Dian, Wei Siguan, Five Horses, and Six Zhang Fei
Earlier, Chen Feng put on the dragon robe again and said, "Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao have meritorious service, and they should be rewarded!" The three of them each had a bounty of 50,000 taels, 100,000 taels of silver, and a mansion! ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers directly fried the pot, so much gold and silver, as long as the heirs of Guo Jia and others did not squander it casually, even if it was several generations.
But no one dared to object, they all knew that these three people were the ones who followed Chen Feng in the first place, and if it weren't for them, how could Cao Cao's country change hands?
The ministers are only red-eyed, and they are envious and jealous in their hearts!
"Your Majesty can't, if Your Majesty has a heart, you should use these gold and silver as disaster relief food and distribute it to the victims in various places." Guo Jia said lightly, he looked at money thinner than paper, otherwise he would not have lived in a humble room for the rest of his life.
Chen Feng secretly praised in his heart, and said, "You don't have to worry about the disaster victims, I will announce two things next, the first thing is to open a warehouse and release grain, the treasury is still surplus, even if you are rewarded, you can still help the disaster victims in the world." ”
Cao Cao is indeed a talent, not only does he fight well, but the country is also well governed, and there is a lot of money, food, and equipment reserves in the treasury, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
"The second thing, that is, for three years from now on, the tax reduction is 70%, and only 30% of the tax is collected!" As soon as Chen Feng said this, there was immediately a chorus of joy below.
"The emperor is wise!"
"The emperor is really a rare Ming monarch, for the country and the people, it is a great fortune for my Wei country!"
Some of these people are from the bottom of their hearts, and some of them are sloppy and tend to be inflammatory, but they all admire Chen Feng's move in their hearts, and if the tax is lowered so much, ordinary people will undoubtedly have a much better life.
Of course, there is a reason why Chen Feng did that, now there is only one Dongwu left that has not been recovered, and there is no need to collect such heavy taxes at all, heavy taxes are because they are needed for battle, and fighting a war requires the consumption of money and food.
Where does this food come from? Naturally, it is deducted from ordinary people, but now that everything is settled, there is no need to collect so many taxes, even if it is a 30% tax, it is far enough for the country's expenditure and operation.
In this way, there is no doubt that ordinary people will absolutely support and support Chen Feng, and some of them may have been dissatisfied with the new monarch who robbed Emperor Cao Cao's position, and it is conceivable that as soon as this edict is issued, the voice of rejection will disappear without a trace.
There is a saying: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Chen Feng regards it as the truth!
Guo Jia nodded appreciatively, Chen Feng's move coincided with him, and he was about to mention this matter in the recital in his hand, but he didn't expect Chen Feng to directly implement it, which shows that Chen Feng also sees ordinary people as very important.
After retiring from the dynasty, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Guo Jia stayed, and Guo Jia said, "Lord, your reward is too heavy, and you deserve to be filial piety." ”
"I'm the one to be ashamed of." Chen Feng sighed, "I'm ashamed to say that you call me the lord, and I haven't given you a substantial reward, but you are still loyal to me after five years, this is the reward you deserve." ”
Even without Guo Jia and others, Chen Feng was confident that Cao Cao's head could be taken in the battle outside the imperial city, but it was only to take the head, and it was impossible to subdue the entire country, and it was precisely because Guo Jia had been operating that everything became so easy.
It's like...... It looks like an emperor for nothing.
"Well, there is no need to mention the reward, do you have anything else?" After Chen Feng asked, Guo Jia said, "Lord, now that the great cause is imminent, if you rely on Fengxiao alone for big and small things, you will eventually be a little powerless......
Chen Feng laughed, "I have already planned this matter, and tomorrow I will set off to Jingzhou to meet a few people there." ”
"Zhuge Wolong?" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and the first thing he thought of when he mentioned Jingzhou was Zhuge Liang.
Chen Feng shook his head, "No, I'm afraid Wolong won't go out of the mountain, and the purpose of my trip is someone else." ”
Guo Jia nodded, "Jingzhou is a treasure land, and talents are endless, if the lord goes to recruit in person, he will definitely be able to get something!" ”
"Lord, I also want to promote some people here" Zhang Liao finished speaking and spread out the bamboo slips, on which were written the names of many people.
Chen Feng saw three eye-catching names in it: Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
These three people are definitely the top generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao is the son of Xiliang Ma Teng, and in the plot, Ma Teng is a Han Chen loyal to the Han family, who died because of the rebellion against Cao Cao, and Ma Chao later had no choice but to follow Liu Bei.
"Lord, especially this Ma Chao, this person's riding skills are unparalleled, making a tiger head in one hand and a golden gun, and his marksmanship is superb! Because his father was killed by Cao Cao, he had to go incognito, and he immediately came to defect after hearing that Cao Cao was eliminated by the lord. Zhang Liao said with great interest, sparing no effort to praise Ma Chao.
He has long heard of Ma Chao's fame, Ma Chao's word Meng Qi, because he was born rich and handsome, he is called "Jin Gongzi Ma Chao".
"This person is relieved to be promoted." Chen Feng was still very pleasantly surprised by Ma Chao's unexpected gain, although Ma Chao's character also had some weaknesses, but that martial arts were not covered.
In addition, he killed Cao Cao and killed Ma Chao's father-killing enemy, how much kindness is it for Ma Chao? I believe that Ma Chao will be loyal to himself.
As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei......
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed when he saw these two names, but he killed their eldest brother Liu Bei, although neither of them knew about it, but if they knew, they would definitely turn their faces and not recognize people.
Chen Feng turned his head to look at Guo Jia, Guo Jia also followed Chen Feng's line of sight and saw the names Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he saw Chen Feng's concerns, although he wanted to use these two fierce generals, but he was afraid of the East Window incident.
But only Guo Jia knows about things except Chen Feng himself, Guo Jia nodded knowingly and said, "Please rest assured, there are some things that will rot in the stomach for the rest of your life." ”
Zhang Liao and Dian Wei were confused, Chen Feng nodded, he also believed that Guo Jia would not be able to leak his own affairs, as long as this matter was not leaked, Zhang Fei and these two fierce generals would still be very useful.
Zhang Fei already has the courage to be invincible, not to mention Guan Yu, who was called a martial saint in later generations, which shows the strength of his martial arts.
There is a saying called: One Lu Er, Zhao Sandian, Wei Siguan, Five Horses, and Six Zhang Fei, so that among the top six people in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, only the dead Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, who have not yet been found, are not their own people, and the other four have all surrendered to themselves.
"Don't, although it is okay to promote Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it cannot be reused." Chen Feng specially reminded that although Zhang Fei fought alone, both of them had fatal character flaws, and these flaws were fatal!
