Chapter 34: Lu Su's Revisit

"Haha, it's only been a few days since we parted, and the Metropolitan Governor has returned in a hurry, I don't know what's going on?"

Just when the second master successfully accepted the entry of the people from Xiangfan, Nanyang and other places, in Jiangling City, Liu Chan also ushered in Lu Su, an old acquaintance.

"Why do you want to ask knowingly, just to ...... Just for, alas! ”

Seeing Liu Chan's knowingly inquiring expression, Lu Su, who didn't know how to speak, could only sigh with a wry smile in the end.

There is no way, even if there is a premise that each is its own master, but if Liu Chan is asked to withdraw the tax reduction, he still can't say it.

After all, this is only someone else's internal affair. Liu Chan's own 'defeat' of his own home, what does it have to do with others?

"Oh? Forgive the boy for being stupid, but he doesn't understand the meaning of the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Holding back the 'guilt' of bullying honest people, Liu Chan pretended to be puzzled and looked at Lu Su.

"Alas, in today's troubled times, all families are afraid that they will not have enough food and grass. However, the prince did the opposite, and he didn't know what the prince meant......"

looked at Liu Chan, who was pretending to be confused, and sighed lightly, Lu Su, who was also pretending to be confused, had to change to a roundabout and euphemistic way as the starting point.

"Haha, it turns out that the Metropolitan Governor is talking about reducing and reducing the people's taxes, and General Sun is making too much of a fuss, right? The kid thought it was a big deal that made the Metropolitan Governor work so hard and go back and forth to Jingzhou, Jiangdong! ”

Seeing that Lu Su finally made his words clear, Liu Chan smiled disapprerovitously.

"The ambition of the son is to revive the Han Dynasty, and the previous words are still in my ears...... However, if there is no money and food support, how to raise troops to fight the national thieves and revive the Han Dynasty? ”

Now that the words have been spoken, Lu Su also temporarily let go of the embarrassment in his heart and began to find a reason and basis for completing his task.

"The governor of the capital, the kid didn't dare to agree. The kid thinks that only when the people are rich can the country be strong. If the people even have enough food and clothing as a luxury, how can they talk about reviving the Han Dynasty? How long can such a big man stand? ”

Shaking his head, Liu Chan put away his previous smile, and his face became solemn.

"Childe's statement is also reasonable, but the rise and fall of the country lies in the meat eaters. The common people are mostly just for food and clothing, and those who know the righteousness have geometric ......"

To Liu Chan's surprise, in the face of his belief that only when the people are rich can the country be strong, Lu Su, a first-class strategist, said a view that was diametrically opposed to his cognition.

Isn't it the responsibility of the husband to rise and fall in the world, why is it the other way around now? ’

Hearing this Lu Su's extremely 'reactionary' viewpoint, Liu Chan suddenly couldn't help but wonder if he had been fooled in his previous life.

Because it doesn't sound so 'orthodox', but it ...... But it seems like it might be true.

"Hehe, the kid thinks that the Metropolitan Governor's words are unfair. Guan Zi once said that Cangqiao actually knows etiquette, and if he has enough food and clothing, he knows honor and disgrace. If the people can no longer worry about tomorrow's food and clothing, they will naturally have the righteousness of the country in their hearts......"

Although he agrees with Lu Su's 'reactionary' point of view from the bottom of his heart, how could Liu Chan be led by his nose? So he threw out a more high-sounding reason to refute this point of view, which he actually agreed with very much.

"If General Sun thinks that those people who resist taxes are unteachable people, and they have damaged the simple atmosphere of the people in Jiangdong, you can chase them one by one, and the kid doesn't think they are troublesome......"

In the end, taking advantage of the 'loophole' in Lu Su's words, Liu Chan, who had just learned about Sun Quan's violent suppression of the people, directly asked him for these Diao people who 'only knew food and clothing, but did not understand righteousness'.

"Childe said that he laughed, Su is just ......"

Lu Su never thought that Liu Chan would be so 'brazen' and blatantly ask him for the people who belonged to Jiangdong.

You know, who doesn't know the preciousness of population these days? Why did Jiangdong repeatedly launch attacks on Shanyue, wasn't it just to plunder the population to enrich the Jiangdong household registration?

"Governor, the kid is not joking. For his own selfishness, General Sun held up a butcher's knife against the people of Changsha, Guiyang and other counties...... I am an official and a soldier in Jingzhou, and most of my relatives are in these counties. If General Sun goes too far, I am afraid that it will affect the alliance between you and us! ”

Shaking his head, Liu Chan did not blush at all for his 'brazenness', but instead raised the matter to a matter that might affect the Sun-Liu Alliance.

Just kidding, your grandson 100,000 dares to brazenly let Lu Su come to let him take back the tax reduction, why can't I blatantly ask you for the population of the people?

"And since the Yellow Turban Rebellion came, the household registration of the people in the world has been halved, and enough of my Han people have died...... Since General Sun also takes the revival of the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility, he should put the people's livelihood first and treat the people of the Han Dynasty well. ”

In the end, Liu Chan stood on the commanding heights of morality with a compassionate attitude, and pressed a big hat on Sun Quan's head.

"Childe is benevolent! Su will relay the good words of the prince to General Sun......"

No matter what his true thoughts are, but in the face of Liu Chan, who occupies the moral high ground everywhere, what else can Lu Su say?

What's more, it is extremely unreasonable to ask Liu Chan to withdraw the tax reduction and exemption calculation.

So in the end, Lu Su, an 'honest man', can only really be an honest man at this time, at least on the surface.

"By the way, I forgot to tell the Metropolitan Governor that the kid has sent Uncle Zilong to inspect the two counties of Wuling and Lingling along Xiangshui, I hope there will be no misunderstanding at that time, which will affect the alliance between you and me!"

In this troubled era, it is not enough to blindly put facts and reason, and it is still very necessary to brighten the fist muscles at the right time.

"Qiyu Gongzi, Guan Junhou broke Cao Ren and Wenpin two generals in one day, and now he has successfully brought back more than 100,000 people who moved south, and I also ask Gongzi to make ......arrangements as soon as possible."

Just when Liu Chan showed his muscles to Lu Su, with the appearance of a messenger who was in the dust, the second master 'defeated' Cao Jun and brought back the news of the people also reached Lu Su's ears.

"General Guan's divine power has not diminished back then!"

Hearing Guan Yu's victory over Cao Jun, and thinking about Sun Quan, who had just been defeated in Hefei, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh secretly at this moment.

"Hehe, most of the governors are overrated! It's just a small battle of thousands of people, and the second uncle himself doesn't even pay attention to it. However, the second uncle heard that there was a civil uprising in Guiyang, Changsha, and that you and I were allies, so I wanted to ask General Sun if he needed help......"

After reading the letter in his hand, it only briefly described the process of receiving the people who moved south, but the point was that he expressed his desire to go to Changsha and Guiyang to 'help' the allies to quell the rebellion, but Liu Chan handed it to Lu Su with a humble face.

"Well, it's a trivial matter, why don't you take care of the monarch. And the counties of Changsha and Guiyang are not popular uprisings, but they are just a little misunderstanding......"

Hearing that Guan Yu wanted to 'help quell the rebellion', Lu Su couldn't help but be vigilant.

There is no way, in the whole world, who doesn't know that Second Master Guan has always been worried about Sun Quan's previous sneak attack on the four counties of Jingnan?

In addition, now that Cao Cao has returned from Hanzhong, the pressure on Yizhou has plummeted. If Guan Yu really wants to fight the idea of recovering Changsha and Guiyang counties at this time, with Jiangdong's newly defeated army, he may not be sure that he can defend it.

After all, the second master is not only proficient in cavalry warfare and infantry warfare, but also an expert in water warfare. Moreover, Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the river, so Jiangdong Junchen's fear of the second master is not just talking.

"Since the Governor has said so......"
