In order to prove himself, Lu Bu began to do what Liu Yu said. Diao Chan also wanted to have a child and worked hard to cooperate.

Usually Lu Bu likes to drink and hang out with generals such as Dian Wei, Li Su, and Zhang Liao, but now Lu Bu has started to give up drinking.

Lu Bu's abnormal behavior puzzled other generals who were friends with him. However, a few months later, after the news of Lu Bu's wife's pregnancy came out, everyone connected Lu Bu's previous abnormality.

Lu Bu was overjoyed that Diao Chan was pregnant, and the big stone in his heart was relieved. Lu Bu was so happy that he took the initiative to invite a few friends who used to drink together to drink together, and also called Zhao Yun over.

Lu Bu took so long to ask Dian Wei and others to drink together, and Dian Wei and the others wanted to know why. Everyone was drinking happily at Lu Bu's house. Dian Wei asked Lu Bu why he hadn't drank for so long. Lu Bu drank a little too much and inadvertently

Liu Yu told him not to drink if he wanted to have a child. Dian Wei and the others definitely didn't believe it. There is no such truth in the world. Everyone said that Lu Bu was making excuses. He was suspected of being drunk.

Lü Bu got angry and took out the letter Liu Yu gave him. After everyone read it, they realized that their lord knew this. Dian Wei took the opportunity to take the letter for himself, but Lü Bu had already been on guard.

He took it back.

Seeing how Lu Bu seemed to be protecting his treasure, Liu Yu's words must be effective. The generals immediately sighed that Liu Yu knew so much, and they didn't know where he learned it.

And Liu Yu, who was in the palace, sneezed several times under the chatter of so many people.

Liu Yu is busy every day. After Liu Yu closed the country, external problems were temporarily solved and the people settled down. Liu Yu focused his work on internal affairs, asking local officials to increase food production, build water conservancy and other work. After settling down,

, some internal problems in Liu Yu's territory began to be exposed. Some incompetent local officials were not discovered when Liu Yu expanded externally, and some corrupt officials were also dug out by Liu Yu. For these black sheep, Liu Yu was

He will not be lenient, he will be dismissed if he should be dismissed, and he will not be polite if he should be killed. Corrupt and corrupt officials are killed every day, and their heads are hung on the city gates. Local officials with evil intentions are frightened every day, and the entire people under Liu Yu's command

The officialdom has become turbulent. Liu Yu knew that it would not work to continue like this. People are selfish and corrupt officials cannot be killed. He could only kill chickens to scare monkeys and take strict measures to prevent them, so that these officials who want to reach out for corruption would be able to prevent them.

Sometimes, you can consider what will happen if you are discovered.

Liu Yu took this opportunity to discover that most of the middle-level or grassroots officials in his territory were descendants of aristocratic families. Liu Yu couldn't help but think that if things continued like this, official positions would be monopolized by children of these aristocratic families.

In the final analysis, this situation arises because the aristocratic family has a monopoly on cultural knowledge, and ordinary people cannot recognize a few words. Liu Yu has thought about universal education, but that would cause the children of the now dominant aristocratic family to rebel.

Jade's current strength is not enough to crush everything.

The educational model implemented by Liu Yu in Bingzhou did not work in Luoyang and Chang'an. Liu Yu did not dare to use coercive means to popularize education. If he was not careful, he would probably be targeted by the gentry in the world and eventually perish.

Fortunately, there are not many aristocratic families in Liu Yu's territory, and they are quite honest. Liu Yu thinks that when his strength reaches a certain level, he will start to deal with this problem.

Apart from this problem, other policies are going smoothly.

Grain production has increased a lot, and God is also very kind. It can be said that the weather is smooth. After the people pay taxes and solve their stomach problems, they still have some food left.

Liu Yu is very concerned about grain production. Although he does not understand how to increase grain production, Liu Yu still understands how to increase farmers' enthusiasm for production. There is only one way to increase farmers' enthusiasm for production in this era, and that is to reduce taxes.

Liu Yu set a tax of three-tenths for his territory, which was almost the lightest tax in these troubled times. It was almost the same in the peaceful and prosperous times. The other princes were more than half. Such a gap made the people continue to pay taxes.

Flee to Liu Yu and come here.

Although the taxes are low, the grain harvested by Liu Yu will not be less. Once the grain in the hands of the people increases, they will think about making their lives more satisfying, at least adding some daily necessities or production tools. So they will use the grain in their hands.

Some of the grain was sold, and finally it was collected in Liu Yu's warehouse.

There is no problem with the progress of the army's expansion. In this era, men have to do corvee service or go to the border to fight, so joining the army is no problem for them. But the children of aristocratic families can find someone to replace them. The main problems in the army are middle-level officers.

The quantity is too small.

Liu Yu invited all the senior generals in the army to discuss, and finally they felt that the best method was to select generals through the competition held in the Bingzhou army. The army advocates force, and only those with strong strength can suppress their subordinates.

After Liu Yu thought about it, he felt that this method was good. However, he could not use this method every time. Liu Yu discussed it with Chen Gong and other military advisers. Chen Gong and others saw a longer-term view than the generals, and they felt that the best

A good way is to strengthen the implementation of military merit and use military merit as the basis for promotion of positions. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly enhanced, the number of middle-level officers will continue to increase, and talents will continue to emerge.

Liu Yu nodded in agreement.

In the following time, Liu Yu ordered Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others to sort out all the military achievements of officers and soldiers at all levels in the army to prevent the achievements of the officers and soldiers from being swallowed up. Liu Yu could not guarantee that all of his subordinates were fair and selfless.

.After strict examination, it was found that things that engulfed military merit existed in Liu Yu's troops, and there were many. Among them, the highest-ranking official was Song Xian, who was not favored by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu had long known that Song Xian was dishonest, but he did not expect that he would also engage in corruption of military merit. Liu Yu decided to deal with it severely and arrested Song Xian and prepared to behead him in accordance with military regulations.

Song Xian was scared to death and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

Although Song Xian was a bastard in his work, he got along well with his colleagues, and many generals interceded for him.

Seeing that so many people were pleading for mercy, Liu Yu exempted Song Xian from the death penalty, beat him with a hundred military sticks, and demoted him to the rank of team leader. Song Xian did not dare to disobey him and kowtowed to thank Liu Yu for not killing him.

Liu Yu punished other generals who had embezzled military merits, and the officers who had embezzled military merits also received due compensation.

Liu Yu summoned the entire army and conducted a review in front of all the soldiers, and promised that if there is another incident of embezzlement of military merit in the future, he will be severely punished.

Liu Yu's vigorous and resolute approach made Liu Yu's troops more united, and the soldiers devoted themselves more diligently to training.
