The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 489 Settle the common people
The emperor's imperial edict was sent from Chang'an to the whole country, asking the state pastors and county guards to raise troops and crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo.

The princes from all over the country responded to the call one after another and issued a call to action, expressing their determination to kill Dong Zhuo and eliminate harm for the country.

However, the princes roared loudly, but in fact there was a lot of thunder and little rain. They watched each other, but there was no movement of sending troops.

In the battle of Hulaoguan, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, and many princes were seriously injured, and some were even worse, being annexed by others.

According to this situation, it is difficult to recover without a year or two of effort.

What's more, today's son Liu Xie was established by Dong Zhuo, and his name is not right and his words are not right, so they cannot be convinced at all.In the eyes of many people, King Hongnong, who was deposed by Dong Zhuo, is the orthodox Han.

These words, the princes know each other well.But as long as their vital interests are not infringed, it doesn't matter to regard Liu Xie as the emperor.

Once they cross the border, they may not obey the orders of the court.

Dong Zhuo is the hottest one right now, without the emperor and all the officials in his hands, he is now besieged on all sides, and everyone is shouting for beating.

Son-in-law Li Rujian said that he would give up Luoyang and go north from Mengjin. He could first seize Hebei as the foundation, then map Youzhou in the north, and stop Qing and Yan in the south.

Li Ru could see clearly that Luoyang was the place of the Four Wars, no matter which direction the smoke of war broke out in all directions, Luoyang would definitely be affected.The feudal lords in the east hated Dong Zhuo deeply, and Lu Bu was added to the west, eyeing him covetously.

Sticking to Luoyang will only lead to a dead end in the end!
Dong Zhuo didn't accept this, and after returning to Luoyang from Hulao Pass, within a few days, he lived the extravagant life of the past, indulging in wine and sex, and indulging in pleasure.

He has already lost Guanzhong, and Luoyang can no longer be lost.

If you give up Luoyang and go north, if you can't attack Hebei, you won't be like a bereaved dog, wandering around.

Before going to fight, Dong Zhuo had already retreated in his heart.He is old, and he does not have the energy of his youth, so he will fight the world again.

Dong Zhuo ordered Li Jue, Guo Si and others to loot wantonly in the Sili area east of Hangu Pass, and transported all the looted grains to Luoyang City.

Dong Zhuo didn't care whether the people had food or not, even if they all starved to death, it had nothing to do with him.

Dong Zhuo forced the people to build the city wall again. He wanted to raise the wall of Luoyang City and build it into a copper wall and an iron wall.Then, relying on the strength of his troops and the food he seized, he stayed in Luoyang City and spent his old age peacefully.

The princes of the Guandong were busy recuperating, Dong Zhuo was strengthening the fortifications in Luoyang, and Lu Bu was also not idle.

In the four fortresses in Guanzhong, Gao Shun led the trapped camp plus [-] soldiers to personally guard Hangu Pass; Huang Zhong also led [-] soldiers and horses to guard Wuguan in the southeast; Sanguan in the west and Xiaoguan in the northwest It was guarded by Guan Hai and Wei Musheng respectively.

What troubled Lu Bu more was the problem of how to settle the more than [-] Luoyang people brought in.

He is good at killing the enemy Lu Bu in battle, but he is completely a layman in terms of internal affairs, which is very sad.

From the time of Emperor Huan, the annexation of land in the Han Dynasty was particularly serious.The people at the bottom had no land at all, and most of their land was occupied by family landlords.

Therefore, they can only live by renting fields and working day and night.During the autumn harvest, nearly [-]% of the grain harvest was paid to the landlord.In the slightest natural disaster, tens of thousands of people will starve to death.

Guanzhong is different from Bingzhou. If the land is distributed to the people as before, it must be unrealistic.

Before the recovery of the northern border of Bingzhou, it was occupied by Xianbei people all the year round, resulting in the waste of land and few Han people.But Hanzhong is different. It is relatively stable here, and there are many deep-rooted aristocrats.

The reason why a family can become a family is that apart from the precipitation of time, the most important thing is the two things they hold in their hands: land and books.

They would never stand by and watch Lu Bu harm their interests. Dong Zhuo was able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong back then because he was not only a complete deterrent, but more importantly, Dong Zhuo basically did not harm their interests too much.

In this era, if you want to dominate one side, you have to rely on the support of the aristocratic family.

Lu Bu is new to Guanzhong, and while his foundation is not stable, he will also not have a direct conflict with these veteran nobles in Guanzhong.

Whenever things can’t be figured out, the best way is——

Find a trick!
After Xi Ce came, after listening to Lu Bu's humbly asking for advice, he also felt very difficult.

As the saying goes, there is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

Opera strategies usually study the art of war and strategy, mostly things on the battlefield.Internal affairs measures and people's livelihood governance happen to be his shortcoming.

Just like a person who writes historical novels, asking him to write fantasy novels seems to be the same, but in fact they are very different.

"When I was in Luoyang, I shouldn't have let Mr. Xun go. Oh, what a mistake, what a mistake!"

When Xi Ce said this, the expression on his face was rather regretful. If Mr. Xun had been left behind, he could have used him to blackmail the uncle and nephew of the Xun family.With the two of them here, these small problems of people's livelihood and management are not a problem at all.

It's too late to regret now.

The two searched on the map, trying to find a place where the people could be properly settled. 10,000+ people is not a small number, it must be resolved as soon as possible so that they can settle down.

If you throw it away in a few counties, the people in Luoyang who have no land in Guanzhong will starve to death soon.To bring them from Luoyang to Guanzhong all the way, not to mention food and clothing, at least let them make ends meet.

However, the population of 10,000+ is not a minority after all. To ensure that they will not starve to death, they can also have land for planting.Certainly not in the Sansuke area. Almost all the land here has been divided up by noble families.

If they are allowed to act as tenant farmers, it is estimated that a large number of people will starve to death.

In the end, the eyes of the two fell on the west of Guanzhong, Tianshui County in Liangzhou.

When the Qiang people rebelled, almost all the Han people there fled to Guanzhong, Hanzhong and other places, and a large area of ​​land was vacated, which was a good place for the people of Luoyang to settle down.

It's just that the Qiangs in Xiliang are still in chaos, and there are many wars in the counties, and they rashly lead the people to settle down. If the Xiliang rebels come back to loot, it will be a waste of effort.

You have to be responsible to these people.

"Um~~~"

Lu Bu pondered, staring at the location of Tianshui County with a pair of flood eyes, the cold light flickered.

At this time, a guard from outside came to report: "General, Chen Wei is back."

A few days ago, Lu Bu had already sent someone to meet Chen Wei. It stands to reason that he should have returned long ago, but for some reason, it has been delayed until now.

Lu Bu looked at the map without turning around, and said, "Let him in."

Chen Wei, who was tied up with a thick rope, walked into the hall, and when he saw the tall and straight figure, he immediately knelt down and said in shame, "General, this subordinate is incompetent, and lost King Hongnong!"
