Chapter 267 Liu Pao Pao's good intentions

It was already late at night in the prefect of Wancheng, but the prefect of the prefect was still brightly lit. This was because Lu Bu had been staying up late for two consecutive nights. As the lord of the first army, it was normal to stay up late, but it was also because of war. Now Sun Ce had a peace talk with Lu Bu's army. Liu Biao and himself were in the honeymoon period in Jingzhou. It can be said that Lujiang is a big rear of Lu Bu's army. Even if the war occurs, it should have begun in Liu Mang's Shouchun area. However, Lu Bu was so busy.

Why? Because Liu Mang's order to summon the people was two acres of fertile land per person, and the 30% tax was really touched by many people. When Lu Bu received the order issued by Liu Mang, he just smiled casually.

He didn't stop it because he knew that Liu Mang's Shouchun was walking south from Xuzhou. Lu Bu's old friend and old rival Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway caused a lot of trouble for his dream of emperor.

There is no one in a radius of hundreds of miles. You should know that the capital of Yangzhou was once comparable to that of the imperial capital. Fireworks in Yangzhou in March were like this, whether in the previous or later life, such a treasure land was almost dead. You can know how expensive the dream of Yuan Gaolu was. After Liu Mang, Lu Bu's good son-in-law, took over Shouchun, naturally had to use all the fertile land, but there were fields but no one to cultivate them! If someone would come to you to help you cultivate the land, so naturally they had to be different from other places and give real benefits.

This person's head is counted as two acres of fertile land, and 30% of the tax was distributed. Although it was extremely loss, it was better to have an income than not. So Lu Bu even asked Chen Gong to help Liu Mang promote it. And the reason why Lu Bu is so busy now is because of this conscript order.

From the incident that almost thought the enemy attack two days ago, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry was ready to go, and they had to see which great god dared to touch the tiger's beard. Who knew that when they went out, they saw dense crowds of people, tens of thousands of people. They blocked half of the city wall and couldn't see clearly in the darkness, so they thought it was an enemy attack.

When Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry rushed out of the city wall to fight, he saw that after watching it, Lu Bu didn't want to sleep, because when he found out, all the people came here after hearing the order of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, Shouchun. Liu Mang was Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Shouchun could be said that Lu Bu had taught most of his autonomy to Liu Mang. Now that the people are coming to surrender, Lu Bu naturally wants to help Liu Mang retain it, and may even send troops to escort along the way.

If only these tens of thousands of people are just there, it doesn’t matter. Come on, tens of thousands of people are a little bit of a matter. Just ask the scholars in Wancheng to help. After the throne is difficult, open a dining shed so that the people will not starve to death. After the difficulties, they will be sent to Shouchun together. However, there are only tens of thousands of people in the past two days. There are more than 100,000 people, and the subsequent events are still continuing.

The entire Lujiang County has only a population of more than 100,000, which has doubled its population, so Lu Bu really couldn't get busy.

"Lord, lord, these are the people who just arrived in two hours!" A scholar next to him gave Lu Bu a general number. For every three thousand more people, there was an additional dining shed. The scholar gave him fifteen more people, which means that more than 40,000 people came to Lujiang.

"If you organize and make a book, I will send someone to Shouchun when I find it difficult to send him all to Shouchun!" Lu Bu was thinking. This population of more than 100,000 can indeed make the land in Shouchun have a qualitative development. At least the fertile land does not need to be free anymore, so that Liu Mang's army can input food and grass by itself, and there is no need to send it to Lujiang. These are all good things! He did not expect that the idea of ​​this cheap son-in-law could summon so many people. The only thing that needs Lu Bu was the food and drink problems of these people.

More than 100,000 people will be enough to last the next year. After all, there are still more than 200,000 stones of food and grass in the granary in Wancheng. These are all obtained after the household search. As long as you pass this year and tomorrow, it will be sunny.

"Report to the lord, there is an angel from Xu Du who asks for a meeting outside of Wancheng!" A personal guard walked in and knelt down on his knees and said to Lu Bu.

"Angelo Xu Du?!" Lu Bu thought about it after hearing this news. Although Xu Du had the Emperor of Han, the real person who made the decision was Cao Cao. Cao Cao was too busy to take care of himself in Guandu now. Why did he send angels? Do you want a crossbow again?

Before leaving, Liu Mang told Lu Bu that the crossbow must not be given to Cao Cao at least at this stage, because Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who fought a protracted war were the best result for Lu Bu's army. If Cao Cao or Yuan Shao quickly destroyed the other side, then Lu Bu's army would not have any idea of ​​developing, because the current Lu Bu army only has two counties, and Liu Mang's Shouchun has not yet settled. It can be said that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao could hardly beat Lu Bu's army, no matter which Lu Bu's army was, it was difficult for him to fight.

"No, no see! Please let him go back and tell Cao Mengde that there is no talk about the crossbow!" Lu Bu waved his hand. He had a bad impression of Cao Cao. After all, he was kicked out of Xuzhou by someone. Although Cao Cao was afraid of Lu Bu, Lu Bu himself knew that he had never beat Cao Cao.

"Slow down!" Just as Lu Bu was about to ask his personal guard to send the angel sent by Xu Du, Chen Gong walked in.

"You are finally here on Gongtai!" Lu Bu's face was full of joy. Two days ago, Chen Gong no longer went to Wancheng. Wuwei and Shucheng area to appease the people there. After all, after all, after the war, it was necessary to rebuild and build various things, so Lu Bu had to sort out the things in Wancheng. Now that Chen Gong is back, he can naturally teach Chen Gong everything.

"Angel?!" Chen Gong asked when he saw the kneeling guard.

"Why don't you go down quickly and tell the angel sent by Cao Mengde that it is absolutely impossible to sell the bed crossbow!" Lu Bu waved his hand to send his personal guards.

"Cao Cao is here to buy a bed crossbow again?" Chen Gong was a little confused, but why did he send angels? You should know that only the emperor of the Han Dynasty can use this thing, and they are basically eunuchs. Cao Cao doesn't like eunuchs very much. Because of the ten eunuchs' chaos in politics, Cao Cao has repeatedly sacked eunuchs from the Han Dynasty. Even if Cao Cao wants to buy a bed crossbow, he should send a person who is capable of speaking, not a eunuch. The most important thing is that the arrival of angels means that there is a decree. It is difficult to

Does Cao Cao want to use imperial edicts to oppress Lu Bu's army? Isn't this a joke! Although everyone says that he is a great man and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how many are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty? Even Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, a relative of the Han Dynasty, don't care about Emperor Han, and others will pay attention to Emperor Han! Who doesn't know that the current Emperor Han is a puppet of Cao Cao? Cao Cao would not be so stupid. If he uses imperial edicts to oppress Lu Bu, it will only make Lu Bu feel more disgusted, and the possibility of him getting a crossbow is smaller.

"Did that angel carry an imperial edict?" Chen Gong asked.

"Yes!" the guard nodded, "The angel said he was here to issue His Majesty's will."

"Go and have a look! This time it should not be the imperial edict sent by Cao Mengde!" Chen Gong said to Lu Bu. Cao Cao could not use imperial edicts to oppress Lu Bu. This method is not only useless, but also will only anger Lu Bu. If Lu Bu was angry at this time, then Cao Cao would really want to cry. There could only be two people who issued this imperial edict, one was Cao Cao and the other was Emperor Han Liu Xie, but what did Liu Xie want to issue this imperial edict?

After Chen Gong said this, Lu Bu still received the angel. The Han Emperor originally issued an imperial edict. The angels came to announce the edict, so they needed Han officials from all over the world to welcome them out in person. However, in the chaotic times, the dignity of the Han Dynasty was almost lost, so they did not go to welcome the angels, but let the angels come in to receive them.

"The Huangmen of the Han Dynasty ordered Qinhuai to meet Wen Hou." A eunuch-like figure led several big Han Yulin Army and several servants into the prefect's mansion.

Huangmen Order? This is an official position of 600 stone. It is much higher than that of ordinary prefects. Even before Emperor Ling of Han, the governor of a state was only 600 stone. The profession of eunuchs was really at its peak during the period of Emperor Ling. It covered the sky with only one hand, and the eunuchs were no longer concerned about the chaos of politics. At that time, if you want to be a high-ranking official, you could only follow the path of the ten regular attendants. Even Cao Cao's father Cao Song was able to become the Grand Marshal because he had money and a way. Emperor Ling called Zhang Rang's father, and Lu Zhi was dismissed from the official position because he did not bribe a small Huangmen. It can be said that in the past few decades, the profession of eunuchs was really popular.

But now it's sunset and dusk. The Ten Eunuchs were killed by Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. The prestige of the Han Dynasty also plummeted, and even Emperor Liu Xie of Han himself could not protect him. He still had to take care of these eunuchs! So this little eunuch was very respectful to Lu Bu.

"Who sent you here?!" Lu Bu asked directly, regardless of whether he was about to kneel down to greet the angel in the face of the imperial edict.

"It was Your Majesty who sent us to issue an order to Marquis Wen and His Highness Shu King." Qin Huai was very obedient.

"Your Majesty?!" It was really not sent by Cao Mengde. What decree could this Han emperor send someone to deliver?

"You promise!" Lu Bu waved his hand. Since he couldn't figure it out, just let the eunuch speak.

"Yes!" Qin Huai nodded, took out a yellow silk cloth from the wooden box beside it and opened it. "In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered that today, the chaos and wars are everywhere, and the people are living in poverty. Fortunately, my Han Dynasty has the people like Shu King Liu Mang. Seeing the sufferings of the world, I want to save the people from water and fire, reduce taxes, and send land to the people. This is the blessing of my people and the blessing of my Han Dynasty. Now I specially granted the Shu King Liu Mang a pair of jade biscuits, a pair of east pearls, a hundred kilograms of gold, and a title of Shu King as the Saint King of Han. I admire this!"

Lu Bu and Chen Gong looked at each other. What was the situation? The jade bi east bead in front of them was nothing! But the saint behind was really a kind of glory. What is Saint Confucius for a saint, and Zhou Gong was also a saint, but these people created a generation of schools or laid the entire country! Liu Mang just wanted Shouchun to avoid being abandoned. Although the tax price was low to the third floor, it was already very low, but it could not reach the situation of a saint. Mencius was as great as a sub-saint. The word saint was basically for the dead, and there was basically no possibility for the living, because the consequences were that the saints were comparable to the emperor. If a saint appeared, do you want the people to listen to the emperor or the saints?

"Eunuch Qin, are you sure you didn't announce the wrong order?!" Lu Bu asked calmly.

"How is that possible! Mr. Wen, Lord Chen, the imperial edict is here, you can take it to watch it." Qin Huai handed over the imperial edict, and it was indeed written on it that he was ordered by heaven and lived forever. Although this was not raised with the sound of the jade seal of the kingdom, it was also covered with another secondary seal next to the Emperor of Han. So this will is definitely true.

"Eunuch Qin, how could Your Majesty issue such an order?!" Chen Gong wanted to get Qin Huai's words and asked at the personal guard beside him. The personal guard beside him nodded and left the hall.

"This, this miscellaneous guy is not very clear." Qin Huai looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and he looked very embarrassed. The expression on his face was really changing, which made people feel very magical. "This person has a bad memory. If the weather is so hot, I don't remember it very much. I hope that Marquis Wen and Lord Chen will not blame him."

"Haha, Eunuch Qin slowly thought, we were anxious. When the weather was hot, we naturally had to buy some ice to cool down. This is what my lord bought for Eunuch Qin for his hard work." Chen Gong said, pointing to the big box sent by several personal guards below.

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Qin Huai said this, but his facial expression was filled with laughter.

"Open them!" Chen Gong pointed at the boxes and said to the guards.

"Yes!" The guard hugged his fists and walked forward, opening the boxes one after another, which were golden, silver-white, and colorful. The golden ones were gold. There were at least a hundred gold in a box, and the silver-white ones were pearls and the colored ones were jewelry and jade. The combined value of these boxes was much higher than that sent by Qinhuai, which made Qinhuai not smile!

"Oh, I suddenly remembered it." Qin Huai changed his tone. Of course, he remembered that these jewelry and jade combined can have a fortune. If you don't remember it, then don't let Lu Bu.

"It was the memorial submitted by the left general of the Han Dynasty, the uncle of Emperor Liu, and Liu Bei. The emperor boasted His Highness of the King of Shu very much. This is why His Majesty would issue such an imperial edict!" Qin Huai's entire attention was about to put on those three boxes. If Lu Bu and Chen Gong were not here, they would have pounced on it long ago.

"Liu Bei?!" Chen Gong and Lu Bu really wrinkled their foreheads. Liu Bei and Lu Bu's army had only hatred but no kindness. Liu Bei was captured by Lu Bu. Similarly, Lu Bu almost died under Liu Bei's plan and lost Xuzhou. Some time ago, there was a battle in Shouchun, and even a famous Huainan dish, braised turkey. If Lu Bu wanted to go further, or if Liu Bei wanted to support Lao Cao and Yuan Shao to take another step in the confrontation between Guandu, then these two families must have a big battle to fight! But now Liu Bei actually praised Liu Mang so kindly and applied for Liu Mang to become an additional official position.

"Eunuch Qin, go down!" Chen Gong waved his hand and wanted to discuss with Lu Bu! What exactly is Liu Bei going to do!
