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

Chapter 816 Chen Gong's Foresight

After the Lu family incident, Lu Bu's prestige soared among the people.

Seeing such thunderous methods, the elders of the aristocratic families from all over Yanzhou dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and behaved cautiously. Lu Bu's killing a chicken and showing it to the monkeys really shocked them.

But if you want to say that you are the luckiest, it must be Cao Jun.Originally, trespassing into someone else's private house without permission was a serious crime, but he found evidence that the Lu family had an affair with Cao Cao.

Lu Bu reprimanded him on the surface, but later he found a reason and rewarded him.

After searching the Lu Mansion, Cao Jun came to report: "My lord, after checking and counting, there are more than [-] houses in Lu's Mansion, with a thousand hectares of land, more than [-] boxes of gold, silver and jade wares, tens of thousands of volumes of books, and other items such as cloth. Items such as silk and satin have also been counted in detail, how to deal with them, please decide."

After listening to Cao Jun's report, Lu Bu got up from his seat and walked over, with a smile on his face: "This Lu family is really fat! If your father is here, he will definitely swear with envy. Big dog."

As for how to deal with these field money, Lu Bu gave a plan after a little thought.

"Send the cloth and satin to the weaving workshop in the city to add some new clothes to the soldiers; I like these the most; hundreds of boxes of jade articles are also sent to the school affairs office to inquire about news, and some gold, silver and jewelry will be used."

"Also, part of the food hoarded by the Lu family is distributed to help the common people, and the rest is kept as military pay."

As for the fields?
The Lu family is good enough. Over the years, they have been annexed, swallowed up, and looted. They have thousands of hectares of land, which is enough to feed the people of several counties.

The new order has been pushed down, and it is not appropriate to distribute these lands to the people at this time.Lu Bu didn't have a good opinion for a while, so he thought for a while and ordered: "How about this, divide these lands among the soldiers under his command according to their military merits."

Lv Bu leads troops, and never treats his brothers badly.

Just as Cao Jun was about to follow his orders and leave, Chen Gong, who was standing in the hall, stood up and said solemnly, "My lord, you want to share the land of the Lu family with the soldiers of the army. Forgive me for not agreeing."

Lu Bu turned sideways, and said curiously: "Oh? What's the big talk on the public platform, let's listen to it."

Chen Gong did not answer right away, but opened a huge map and let the soldiers hang it on the wall, then moved his finger on the map, talking eloquently: "According to the previous strategic plan, the lord is based on Guanzhong, and, Yizhou is the wing, Xiliang is the tail, overlooking the outside of the pass. Now that Guanzhong is stable, and Bingzhou and Xiliang are also under your control, Xishu Liu Zhang is cowardly, and there is nothing to fear."

"After leaving the customs, our army fought several battles with Cao's army. My lord won the first battle, defeated Cao Cao's main force, and took control of Yanzhou. Please look at the map, this is Yanzhou, and to the west is Hulao Pass and Sili Luoyang, Ji, Qing, Xu, and Yu form a four-corner pattern, enclosing Yanzhou in the middle.

Therefore, Yanzhou is not only a place of hundreds of battles, but also an important hub to contain the connections between various places.

If the lord wants to dominate the world, he will inevitably go to war with other states in the future.If grain is transported from Guanzhong, not only will the journey be far away, but the risk will also increase as the front line grows longer.

Therefore, I suggest that Yanzhou be used as the second base to focus on development. Even if there is a sudden change in Guanzhong in the future, it will not have a fatal impact on the lord. "

Chen Gong's eyes sparkled, and he explained in detail the importance of Yanzhou and the strategic plan he had constructed in his mind.

Lu Bu pondered for a while, with a solemn look on his face.

After so many years of baptism in military art and strategy, he is no longer the frontier captain who knew nothing back then.Especially under the influence and assistance of Xi Ce, Chen Gong, Pang Ji and others, his vision has been expanded more than ten times.

"What Gongtai said is reasonable, and the cunning rabbit still has three caves. I really should be prepared."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, but Yanzhou has just experienced a war, and the counties and counties have not completely stabilized.

Supporting war with war is, after all, the practice of fishing in a dry marsh.It's okay to use it against foreigners, but forget it against the Han family.

Over the years, enough people have died.

"My lord, have you forgotten the garrison that was implemented in Bingzhou back then? It was a great success. Not only did no people starve to death, but a large amount of grain was stored every year for emergencies."

Chen Gong reminded.

At the beginning, Cao Cao also relied on farming in Yanzhou, recruiting moth thieves from Qingzhou, and expanding his team step by step.

Now that there are thousands of hectares of land from the Lu family, it is just right to try it out for farming. If it is effective, it can be further expanded.

That's a good idea!

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, his face couldn't hide his joy, and he asked Chen Gong: "Is there a good candidate for Gongtai?"

Don't look at Chen Gong and others' strategizing and unparalleled wisdom. If they are really asked to go to the fields to plant seedlings and thin out seedlings, and guide the crops to run, they may not be as good as ordinary farmers.

This is probably what the ancients said, there are specializations in the arts.

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "There are two candidates, but I don't know if the lord will use them."

"Let's hear it." Lu Bu looked calm. If he really has the ability, he will use it again.

"One of these two people is named Ren Jun, from Zhongmou, Henan; the other is Zaozhi, from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. Both of them are good at farming and nourishing themselves." Chen Gong gave the answer.

"From Yangdi? That's a fellow from the same place as Fengxiao!"

Lv Bu smiled brightly, and told Chen Gong: "Go and call the two of them, no matter whether you want an official or money, let them just open their mouths, and I have nothing to say if they agree."

Lv Bu has a heart of love for talent, Chen Gong was very pleased, but his face showed embarrassment: "My lord, to tell the truth, these two served under Cao Cao's account before, and after they were defeated and captured, they treated us very well. There is resistance. Before I went to persuade them again and again, but both of them refused to submit. But it would be a pity to bury a good talent just like this."

Since ancient times, people with personalities and tempers are mostly capable.

What's more, to be able to make Chen Gong go to invite him again and again, no matter how bad it is, he should have some skills.

Lu Bu thought about it in his mind, now is the time for employing people, so he asked Chen Gong: "Where are these two now?"

Hearing Lu Bu's question, Chen Gong guessed that the lord wanted to go out in person, cupped his hands and replied, "I am being enslaved to repair the western city wall."

"Come on, show me."

Lu Bu got up, greeted Chen Gong, left the State Shepherd's Mansion, and walked towards the west city.
