Sun Jian stood energetically on the north gate tower, watching the black spots in the distance slowly expand until the size of the convoy was revealed...

"Lord, why did you run out again? Are you a homeless person?" Wen Du felt hurt by Sun Jian's behavior of standing at the city gate every time to welcome him back, but he still felt quite happy in his heart.

Sun Jian, who was "criticized", spread his hands and said helplessly: "You are really right. Lu Su is in charge of government affairs and Zhou Yu is in charge. There are generals everywhere in the military camp. There is no need for me to take care of them. Come and greet them."

It can be regarded as something I found for myself."

"Don't worry, you will be busy in the future." To get vaccinated first, Wen Du turned around and pulled Mi Zhu in front of Sun Jian: "Let me introduce you, this is our savior, Xuzhou rich businessman Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong."

Regarding Mi Zhu's arrival, Sun Jian's eyes instantly lit up: "You are the fifth largest wealthy business owner in the world?!"

"It's just a false reputation. Don't dare to live up to it. General Sun's words are serious."

"Don't say too much, don't say too much! Just having you here is enough to make me feel like a fish in water!"

"The general's words are serious. I have heard about the general's wisdom for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to come and make friends."

The two of them stood at the gate and kept complimenting each other back and forth. Their good words almost made Wen Du's ears pregnant...

"Stop it! If we have anything to say, can we wait until we get inside? We've blocked the road now."

Following Wen Du's interjection, Sun Jian suddenly looked around. There were indeed some carriages and ox carts parked behind them, and they did not dare to make any move.

"I was so excited that I forgot about everything. Let's walk around and talk in the house!" After greeting the pedestrians who were stuck, Sun Jian hurriedly led the convoy out of this embarrassing place.

"Hey, Zhou Lang, Zijing, long time no see"

"Brother Seti, too. Long time no see."

Zhou Yu, who was called over, bowed gracefully and sat quietly on the right side of Sun Jian. However, Lu Su, who was behind him, completely ignored Wen Du's greetings. With "eye makeup" like a panda, he sat directly on the stool.

, making a groaning sound similar to that of a dying person.

"Zijing, you have to sleep well at night. You can't stay up late. Do you understand?"

Hearing Wen Du's concern, Lu Su rolled his eyes and stared at him, accusing him with great dissatisfaction: "What do you think is the reason why I can't sleep well?"

"Hey, you are just claiming someone's innocence out of thin air. Won't Zhou Lang no longer deal with political affairs? He is completely fine!"

Regarding being pointed out to himself, Zhou Yu coughed lightly and replied with some embarrassment: "Actually, Zijing took over most of it by himself. I contributed less because I had to go to the military camp to check on the situation.

.”

"Then didn't you and my lord go to the aristocratic families in Yangzhou before? Didn't you have any talents to bring back?"

"There are indeed a lot of them, but I basically don't want them!" When Lu Su mentioned this matter, he perked up and explained with a serious expression: "The recommended aristocratic families are really rubbish. The question I asked,

Many people don't understand the meaning at all and just give random answers. If I accept such people, won't I be angry with myself?"

Although he usually looks carefree, Lu Su can be meticulous when it comes to business matters. Based on this character, he must impose strict requirements on others. "With so many aristocratic families, you can always catch one or two big fish, right?"

Wen Du could understand this situation. After all, those old members of Soochow were either still children or had taken refuge in other places. But it was still a bit hard to believe that none of them could fall into Lu Su's eyes.

"I'm talking about the basics, not everything. The Gu family in Wu County actually has a man named Gu Yong. I have communicated with him. I like him very much, but he is not among the recommended ones. Maybe I don't want to become an official. I'll give it to you.

He left a message that if he wants to come, I will be waiting for him at any time. If he doesn’t want to come, I won’t force him.”

[The Eight Gentlemen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties are not bad manpower] I thought about Gu Yong's deeds in my mind, and finally decided secretly that he must be allowed to work. If he is not willing, then find an opportunity to kidnap him directly, or at worst, give him

Kowtow three times and ask for forgiveness...

"That's the situation here for the time being. Let's talk about the refugees next."

Lu Su put his hands together and entered the mode of resting with his eyes closed. Zhou Yu on the opposite side picked up his topic and suggested to everyone: "For the refugees, I suggest setting up a porridge shop first and providing food for ten days, and then we can distance ourselves from them, and then we can talk."

Regarding work, I wonder if this method is feasible?"

"No!" Mi Zhu immediately gave a negative answer: "It is impossible for 400,000 people to come here at the first time. Ten days of disaster relief can only put food in the mouths of about 100,000 people at most. The remaining people just

How could they willingly stay and work after suffering a miserable loss as soon as they arrived?

Let me ask you again, in whose name are the food relief efforts being carried out?"

"Of course it's in the name of my lord."

"Then what is General Sun's position now? He was a hussar general in the Han Dynasty. He is such a high-ranking person. Unfortunately, the role of this title has shrunk, especially for the common people."

"Why?!" Sun Jian couldn't accept it. How could the status that he had gained with one sword and one gun shrink...

"Because of the troubled times; because of hunger; because of the inaction of the Han court; because of the movements of the princes. When I was in Xuzhou, I had already provided disaster relief several times. Do you know what they said to me?

They call me Lord Qingtian, they angrily criticize the emperor for his incompetence, and they ask me when the Han Court will change its owner. At this point, I feel that the people no longer trust the current court, because in their eyes, the Han Court has long been decayed.

In Xuzhou, I am just a businessman with an official title and no real power. General Sun is a high-ranking official in the court. They may not necessarily believe that you will open warehouses and release grain for no reason. They are more willing to rely on their own strength.

Let yourself and your family have enough to eat." After Mi Zhu's thorough analysis, Zhou Yu directly strangled the idea of ​​disaster relief in the cradle.

However, Wen Du was very happy. After spending so much food, he only created a little profit. He directly lost money to Ollie. There are 400,000 living people with hands and feet who can move. Any movement is a profit.

Explode!

"Well, what Zizhong said is very reasonable. I suggest that we use work-for-relief. Just ask them to come to work directly. The money and food will be paid once a day. Only when we have hope can we make progress. Only when we let them see our sincerity can we go forward.

Proceed below.

Letting them eat the food earned by their own labor is much more confident than eating disaster relief food. Although disaster relief is the obligation of high-ranking people, wouldn't it be more reasonable for me to pay you for your work? It can also stimulate business by the way, so that they can all

Isn’t it easier to make some money to close the distance?”

Anyway, the reputation and prestige of the Han Dynasty are only like that now. How bad can it get? It is better to seize the opportunity and create a reputation for Sun Jian.

Although this sounds similar to a rice circle, the premise is that the hungry people can eat and make money. As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. We give them jobs and let them build

Build houses, strengthen city walls, cultivate wasteland and grow food. Give them food to eat and let them make money. After that, if you have ideas, you can buy it yourself. If you don't have enough money, then pay a deposit first, and then deduct the salary from your monthly salary.

If there are special reasons that cannot be paid in that month, as long as the reason is reasonable, then the current month can be turned over, and then continue until the next month, and so on, until the entire amount owed is paid back.

In addition to the land deed, we will issue them a real estate certificate to prove that their mortgage has ended, and we will register it again.

In addition, a special seal must be carved as a certificate. If anyone fakes it, he will beheaded directly to scare the monkeys!"

After suggesting an absolutely feasible method, Mi Zhu and others nodded more and more as they thought about it, and then passed the proposal amidst a chorus of "I support it."

"This method is just like a gourd, can't it be applied to the fields?" Lu Su, whose appetite was whetted, now became more energetic: "After reclaiming the wasteland, you can apply to purchase the fields, but we will not charge their money. According to the

According to the number of people in a household, the government gives them the right to farm, 50% of the tax, and 10% of the land is used for leasing. After three years of farming, the land will be completely owned by them, and they no longer need to pay leasing fees, only national taxes; farming

After six years, you only need to pay 40% of the national tax; after ten years of farming, you only need to pay 30%. In addition to the land deed, you will also be issued a land certificate. Is this feasible? "

"I think it's okay." Mi Zhu, who listened carefully, was the first to agree: "This can mobilize their enthusiasm and make both parties mutually beneficial. But I have two more points to add. First, farming cattle and seeds are also an expense.

I estimate that it will be difficult for them to come up with it, so I want to help them handle both aspects. Of course, I will use my money and send it out in the name of General Sun. This will surely establish a people-loving people among the people.

Excellent image of the son.

Second, the method of allocating acres based on the number of people needs to be added. Each household can only receive a maximum of fifty acres to prevent acquaintances from colluding and deliberately defrauding the land."

If this is the case, the population will also need to be censused and registered at the same time..."

Lu Su and Mi Zhu became more and more congenial as they chatted, as if they had not forgotten that there were three people beside them.

Wen Du was quite surprised that the two of them had such a common topic. After all, although both of them were powerful men, they had no intersection in history. One was in Jiangdong and the other was in Shuzhong.

A meeting could be said to be the result of historical changes, but unexpectedly they found each other very fond of each other.

Mi Zhu didn't feel humble because he was at the end of the political spectrum, and Lu Su didn't look at this businessman from a secular perspective. He was just addicted to chatting, which led Wen Du to wonder if the two were husband and wife in their previous lives.

Sun Jian, who was sitting opposite, showed a hint of panic amidst the "bombarding" and looked at him as if asking, "Why can't I get a word in?"

It's a pity that Wen Du has no idea about this issue. After all, he himself can't participate...

ps: Writing is not easy, so I hope that all the parents who have enough money can support me, and those who have no money can collect it. Thank you!
