Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302 Pepper, Pepper

One afternoon a few days later, Lu Bu called Zhou Zhang, Lin Qian, Luo Kun, Chen Gong, Fu Yong and five others.

If you want to send the relatives of the soldiers to Jiaozhou, it is not feasible to use a large number of soldiers and horses. The territory of the Central Plains princes will not easily let other soldiers and horses enter. go……

Therefore, Lu Bu thought again and again, and felt that it would be better to pick them up secretly, and if there were too many people, they would come to Jiaozhou in batches.

But to do this secretly and smoothly, it needs the cooperation of many merchants who do business in Central Plains.

In addition, manpower must be arranged to follow the merchants to prevent accidents. After all, the Central Plains is much more chaotic than Jiaozhou.

Considering that there may be friction with the princes of the Central Plains, it is also necessary to prepare relevant documents, and when necessary, he can reveal his identity, and maybe others can give him a little favor for Lu Bu.

So Lu Bu called the five of them and discussed the matter in the conference hall.

"That's all. It is related to the morale of the soldiers and is very important."

Lu Bu talked to the five of them about his plan to officially start picking up the relatives of the soldiers to Jiaozhou.

Chen Gong looked at Zhou Zhang, Fu Yong and others, combined with this matter, he roughly understood Lu Bu's thoughts, so he said:
"The lord is planning to secretly bring the family members of the soldiers to Jiaozhou through merchants traveling to and from the Central Plains, and at the same time arrange for the soldiers of the Shenbing Battalion to protect them along the way?"

"That's right, that's probably what it means." Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's unrealistic to use a large number of soldiers and horses to pick them up, and the princes of the Central Plains will not easily borrow this way. In this way, we can only rely on the strength of merchants to send soldiers and soldiers in batches. The family members of the family will take them here to resettle, so as to reassure the army, this is also the promise this general made to them.

In the past few months, people have been arranged to secretly inquire about the situation in the Central Plains, and they have a general understanding of the situation of most of the soldiers' families. Now it's time to take them to Jiaozhou.

At the same time, those soldiers who have family members in the north will also write a letter and take it back to let their family members believe that the people we went to really welcome them. "

Lu Bu stopped, turned sideways, and said to Zhou Zhang: "Zhou Zhang, you are the chairman of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce. You arrange for the merchants who are willing to help. After the matter is completed, this general will remember their kindness, and will never treat them badly in the future." .”

Then he looked at Luo Kun and Lin Qian, and continued: "In addition to arranging merchants from the chamber of commerce, you also need to organize some people to go there. At the same time, shops in Jingzhou and other places can also take care of them at any time."

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best to handle this matter well."

Zhou Zhang, Luo Kun, Lin Qian and others responded.

In Zhou Zhang's view, this matter was a good thing. Not only would it benefit Lu Bu, but it would also make tens of thousands of soldiers, especially the Bingzhou Army, owe a favor to merchants.

The soldiers and horses of Lu Bu in Jiaozhou, the Bingzhou Army and the soldiers and horses from the north are the main force, which will have a great influence in the future.

As long as a businessman with a little brain understands that although this matter is risky, the rewards can be huge.Merchants are chasing profits, not to mention dozens of times or hundreds of times of profits!

"Well, this general trusts you to arrange such an important matter for you to do." Lu Bu was very satisfied, and added: "In addition, this general will also arrange soldiers from the Shenbing Battalion to guard, and will also select some retired soldiers. Our veterans will lead the way for you while also serving as protection."

As he said that, he looked at Fu Yong and ordered, "Fu Yong, you should cooperate fully in this matter. If you don't have enough manpower, you can choose some from the army. They should be the reserve battalion of the God's Army Battalion. Be sure to ensure safety along the way."

"The last general takes orders!"

Fu Yong took a step forward and bowed his hands to accept the order.

"Gongtai, in order to prevent accidents and avoid troubles from some unscrupulous guys, we need to prepare some documents for Fu Yong to bring." Lu Bu said solemnly: "If you encounter something that cannot be resolved, just take out the documents and reveal your identity. If there are still people who don't give face, this general will definitely make him regret it!"

Chen Gong understood what Lü Bu meant, and said, "My lord is considerate. I believe that the princes of the Central Plains and heroes from all walks of life will give my lord this kindness."

Next, several people discuss specific important details.

After the end, Zhou Zhang, Lin Qian, Luo Kun, and Fu Yong left to arrange related matters.

"Gongtai, is there anything else?"

Seeing that Chen Gong didn't leave, Lu Bu must have other things going on.

Chen Gong replied: "My lord, I have one more thing to report. The director of the Agriculture Department, Qin Yun, said that he has completed the funerals of his parents and family members, and requested reinstatement."

"By the way, Qin Yun's family was brutally murdered by bandits. Can we find the criminals?" Qin Yun has been working hard. Lu Bu has a good impression of him, and said: "Qin Yun is a talent, especially in agriculture. Since he is willing to come back to work, let Let him come back. Isn't that unbecoming?"

Lu Bu knew that there was a rule of keeping filial piety for three years in ancient times, but he didn't know how it was stipulated in the Han Dynasty.

"The gangsters have been wiped out. It's just that both the Qin family and Ding Hong suspect that this matter has something to do with the Yi family, but because there is no evidence, they let it go."

Chen Gong said: "According to the etiquette and law of the Great Han Dynasty, all the princes of the royal family must observe filial piety for three years. There is no mandatory requirement for officials to resign and observe filial piety for three years. It will be regarded as unfilial by the world."

"The Han Dynasty only required the princes of the royal family to observe filial piety for three years?" Lu Bu only knew that Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty was exempted from resigning for three years of filial piety because of his love, but he was charged with great unfilial piety.

"Since there are no laws and regulations, there is no need for it." Lu Bu said: "It's not that the longer the filial piety period is, the more filial piety it is, but it lies in the heart. Filial piety lies in the heart, not in the surface. What's more, Jiaozhou is exactly the place where people can be filial. when."

The system of mourning began as a mandatory norm of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the object of the prohibition throughout the Han Dynasty was limited to the royal family and princes, and there was no legal requirement to live in mourning for three years.

During the Jin Dynasty, three-year mourning and short-term relative bereavement had become mandatory administrative norms for officials, and most of the punishments for violating the mourning system in the Jin Dynasty were not based on laws or edicts, but out of "clear discussion".

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was imprisoned in the criminal law for three years.During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the mourning system was fully legalized. Not only did the mourning system be fully incorporated into the law, but a considerable number of provisions were included in the "ten evils" crimes.

"Since the lord agrees, let Qin Yun return to the Department of Agriculture." Fortunately, there was no law in the Han Dynasty that required three-year filial piety, otherwise it is unknown whether Chen Gong would compromise.

"By the way, my lord." Chen Gong still has something to report: "The Department of Agriculture reported yesterday that the peppers planted by the lord on behalf of him have grown fruit, and some of them have begun to turn red. They are also planting for the first time, and many of them don't understand. Hope My lord can take a look and give advice.”

"Is the chili ripe?!"

Lu Bu was pleasantly surprised that the taste of this era is too single, wasting good ingredients.With chili peppers, you can make more delicacies: "Okay, tell them, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
