Lu Dynasty

Chapter 323
Xun You heard me say three points, and after thinking about it, he said: "The three points you mentioned are not difficult to achieve! But if there are corrupt officials who are desperate to exploit the people, let alone ten shi of grain per mu, it is one Baishi, don’t you still have nothing to eat?”

"This will involve the issue of the country's legal system!" I laughed and said, "Not every official is a corrupt official, and not every corrupt official is a corrupt official from the beginning. It's just that when they live for various reasons. , some want to be greedy, some have to be greedy, as long as we can solve the problem for each official, I think there will be a lot less corrupt officials. But those who are greedy for the interests of aristocratic families must not be tolerated! And I said Those three points are absolutely difficult to achieve. Some things are easier said than done!"

Xun You said with a smile: "The general said that we will not let the big families participate in the land sale, as long as we enforce the rules and kill all those who disobey the order, we can implement it. It is easy to expand the territory as long as the general has an army and rations. The most difficult thing Just look for that kind of high-yield grain!"

"Food is easy!" I said with a smile, "Do you still remember that Jiaozhou once discovered a kind of rice that can be grown for three seasons a year? I have already sent my spies to look for it. As long as we find it, we big men will not have to worry about running out of food in a short time." .I also found a kind of grain that has a large yield and can be eaten, but the storage time is too short.”

Xun You used to be the imperial court's Huangmen order. He knew the three-season rice incident in Jiaozhou very well, and he also knew the ins and outs.He asked: "Didn't the prefect lie to the court? How could it be possible..." Xun You is worthy of being a resourceful man, but he realized it in a flash.It wasn't that the prefect was lying, but that no one had ever checked whether the three-season rice existed.Xun You said with a smile: "The general is really thoughtful. You are right. It is not impossible. It just depends on how you choose. I don't know why the general believes in the existence of three-season rice?"

"Actually, it's very simple, just eight words: Boldly assume, carefully verify!" I said with a smile: "Gongda, think about it, if the eunuch wants to lie, why doesn't he report five or ten rice crops but only Report three-season rice? As the saying goes: groundless rumors may not be without reason. In fact, as long as the court sends a reliable person to investigate, it can find out whether the three-season rice really exists. Come to guess, but choose not to believe. To put it bluntly, Emperor Hanling has never even been out of the palace, what a day he has seen!"

Xun You said: "Not only the Han Ling Emperor, but also other ministers of hectares don't believe it! Could it be that they have never seen the market? General Lu overturned a boat of people with one pole, is it because of prejudice against them?"

"Gongda! Now if I say that there is a kind of grain that can produce a thousand catties per mu, and that there is an animal that can grow to two hundred catties every six months, which is the best meat for the people, do you believe it or not!" I asked with a smile.

"This!" Xun You hesitated, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, so Xun You said slyly: "How dare I not believe what General Lu said? It's just that there are such animals and plants? Why don't I know!"

"You obviously don't believe it!" I laughed and said, "Maybe what I said may or may not be true. But what I want to tell you is that one day we will find and even create what I just said. This is It will take several generations, dozens of generations, or even thousands of years of hard work! So I need the help of resourceful people, at least to have a good start. I wonder if Gongda is willing to help me?"

Xun You stared at me stubbornly, and I also looked at him sincerely.Xun You asked seriously: "If I help you, how will you treat my Xun family!"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" I asked with a smile.

"Of course it's the truth!" Xun You shook his head helplessly and said, "I can make up lies myself!"

"If you cooperate with me, I only need the Xun family to disband the slaves and return the land. As for the shops and the like, you only need to pay taxes according to the regulations! Servants must implement the employment system and pay salaries according to my law. Injury, killing, and other things are up to you.” I said: “If you are unwilling to cooperate, you also know that I am not the kind of soft-hearted person, so you should understand the consequences!”

"Didn't you deprive the family of all their rights?" Xun You said, "Aren't you afraid that the family of the world will deal with you? It's like dealing with Dong Zhuo!"

"What's wrong with Dong Zhuo?" I said with a smile, "I'll tell you a secret. If Dong Zhuo's son, Dong Fei, hadn't died inexplicably, who would own the world?"

"You mean that Dong Zhuo wanted to die by himself?" Xun You was stunned.

"That's right, that's right! Otherwise, why do you think I can fully accept Dong Zhuo's power?" I said, "Dong Zhuo bought his son-in-law Li Ru with his head, so that he can live a lifetime of wealth and safety, and be able to display his talents. The reason why he He chose me because he believes that only I can make the big man stronger, and let him and his son-in-law Li Ru be famous forever!" Xun You almost fainted, he really couldn't stand this kind of world.Even a cruel person like Dong Zhuo can live forever, so what about him?Xun You had a lot of confidence in me. He had been in Chang'an for so long, even though he was in a prison, but Tian Feng would tell him any news.After all, Xun You is a rare talent in the world, and Tian Feng also wants to win over him for me.

"General! If the world's aristocratic families form a coalition to attack, what can you do to deal with them?" Xun You is very yearning for the situation I described, but he is no longer the age when he gets excited when he gets excited.He is very realistic. If I can't resist the world's aristocratic family, even if he takes refuge in me, he still can't escape the fate of being captured in the end.In the heart of a loyal counselor like Xun You, changing the lord is worse than death.

Looking at Xun You's expression, I knew that he already wanted to serve me, but he was still a little apprehensive.I smiled and said to him: "Gongda, everything in the world is like a gamble. If you don't do it, you don't know the result. If you do something vigorously, even if you fail, you have a clear conscience! As for how to deal with the aristocratic family?" Allied forces. Even Dong Zhuo can fight against the princes of the [-]th Route. I am much wiser than Dong Zhuo! When you are under my command, you will know that my generals are not comparable to Dong Zhuo's useless materials."

Xun You looked at me for a while, then suddenly laughed and bowed down: "You see the Lord!"
