It turned out that the ambush was still very beautiful. Cao Xing and Zhou Cang were veterans. They did not resist with 500 troops, but instead attacked the tail. The fight was still very beautiful. However, they were not in time when they retreated in the end and were attacked by Guan Yu. Guan Yu had a team of elite soldiers, similar to Cao Xing's elite soldiers, all of which were cruel people, well-equipped and well-equipped. It was nothing to lose less than a hundred people when they encountered such cruel people, and there was no one who could not die in war.

"The two brothers don't have to worry about it, just have a good rest. We will go and gather the brothers who died in battle tomorrow morning and bury them."

He was speechless all night, and the next day, Lu Bu had no intention of chasing him, because he would reach Cao Cao's territory again.

It was already afternoon after cleaning up the battlefield, and the personal soldiers came to report: "General, Sun Gan asked for a meeting."

"pass."

After a while, the grandsons came, their bodies were a little sloppy, and their spirits were not as good as the other day. It was obvious that Liu Bei abandoned him, which made him unable to stand it. In fact, it was not only him who abandoned Liu Bei, but also the families of hundreds of generals in the army. The core members of the Mi family left, and many people around him did not run away. After all, Lu Bu came too suddenly, so Lu Bu deliberately let the water go, otherwise he would not be able to escape.

"Gongyou, what's the matter?"

Gong You gave a deep gift: "I heard that Mr. Wen dug a large grave in the south of the city and was preparing to bury the soldiers who died in battle under General Zhang. The families of these soldiers were all nearby. I beg the general to ask them to take charge of each one. After all, both sides were their own masters in war and would not make enemies when they died. I hope Mr. Wen would be proud of his actions."

"Oh, this matter is. Okay, you go and do it. If the family members claim it, they will ask the family members to take it back for burial. But you have to make clear, and it is strictly forbidden to take the opportunity to cause trouble. Huaji will follow him with a thousand elite soldiers, and those who dare to make trouble will be wiped out immediately."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I will definitely arrange my family members well."

Sun Gan went to do business, and Lu Su looked at Lu Bu.

"Does Zijing feel that I am a little strict? Our own soldiers were buried well, so the enemy soldiers were naturally not treated so well."

"No, no. The lord did a good job. In this chaotic era, the lord was already a great sage in the world. He should use heavy dictators to control chaotic eras, otherwise he would only become more and more chaotic."

Taking it down is just the first step, and it needs to be managed next.

According to the strategy that had been decided long ago, Song Xian was arranged to take over Xiao Pei. Song Xian had two thousand infantry and one thousand navy troops. Moreover, Xiao Pei was also on the edge of Weishan Lake, which just happened to protect Pengcheng.

A few days later, news came that Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, and it is unknown how to arrange Liu Bei.

Lu Bu was very kind and righteous in Xiaopei, and did not hold Liu Bei's military family accountable, just pretended that nothing had happened.

Agricultural tax and commercial tax are still the same. Rural farmers have begun to distribute new agricultural tools, wheelbarrows, racks, and arrange the construction of water conservancy roads.

However, Liu Bei has developed very well in Xiaopei. There are actually many wheelbarrows among the people, and Xiaopei is rich, and most of the people have dogs.

You should know that raising dogs is more troublesome than pigs and sheep. Dogs need to eat food and cannot eat grass.

After a few days of settlement, Lu Bu should go back. Lu Bu asked Lu Su and Zhao Zhubo: "What should I do with this Sun Gan? Do you have any ideas?"

Zhubo Zhao thought for a while: "Sun Gan is also a well-known scholar and may not be willing to convince others. Even if he stays, he will be difficult to convince. However, he is a famous scholar after all, and he has no big mistakes and cannot be killed."

"I want to tell me that Pengcheng is now unmanaged, and someone needs to take charge of the overall situation. It is okay for Sun Gan to go to Pengcheng to handle government affairs, and it is just not given military power. And Pengcheng is between Xiaopei and Xuzhou."

"You two are right. At this age, you will definitely not be able to kill him. Just like that, please invite Sun Gan and I will ask him."

After a while, Sun Gan came.

"See Wenhou."

"Please sit down. Pengcheng County now needs a county magistrate. How about you go to work?"

Sun Gan shook his head: "I am discouraged and plan to go home to farm."

"Stop talking nonsense. I will be the governor of Pengcheng County tomorrow. I will give you two years to let the people eat, eat, eat meat, and wear clothes. If you can't complete the task, you will ask."

"How can Mr. Wen force people to make things difficult?" Sun Gan looked helpless. He was in Xiaopei, and he was in Xiaopei, and he was home to dozens of people.

"If you don't go, you have to go if you tie it up."

Sun Gan was a wise man: "Okay, then I'll go."

However, Sun Gan was so stupid that he always called Lu Bu Wenhou, meaning that he did not agree with his lord.

Lu Bu didn't care about those things, just keep the Pengcheng well under control.

Except for the No. 100 yamen runners, Sun Gan has no one under his command, so there is no need to worry about what he will do.

It was easier to capture Xiao Pei than expected. He lost 200 soldiers. Unfortunately, he did not conquer many Liu Bei's soldiers, only one or two hundred.

I have to say that Liu Bei had something worth learning in winning people's hearts, and he fooled the soldier and thought he was following the right wise master in vain.

Lu Bu arranged personnel to specially organize Liu Bei's way of winning people's hearts. He likes to cry, but Lu Bu can't learn this.

He likes to talk heart-to-heart and often brings wealthy and gentry in the city to discuss things, which makes people feel that Liu Bei is approachable and has great ambitions.

I often visit around, which is very similar to Lu Bu.

Everyone has their own characteristics. If you can’t learn it, don’t learn it.

Lu Bu’s characteristics are to repair, repair, repair, repair bridges, repair roads, repair water conservancy, and provide food for work, and give some small things. Although there are not many, you don’t have to work in vain.

The military discipline of Xuzhou was good, and soon Lu Bu withdrew his troops and returned to Xuzhou. Xiaopei only left two thousand infantry guarding him. Soon Xiaopei City exuded vitality again, with people coming and going on the streets, and hotel business was all booming.

After all, it was a place where the Han Dynasty had risen for four hundred years, with fertile land and outstanding people.

During this period, Lu Bu summoned local wealthy families and talked about the commercial tax in Xuzhou, which remained as usual. In addition, they were also allowed to join the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce. As long as they have the strength, they could organize caravans to go to Youzhou to do business. And implement a one-tax system. That is, it is enough to pay taxes one time along the way, and there is no need to pay taxes for the second time.

The marten, ginseng and antlers in Youzhou are all pretty good products in Xuzhou. The porcelain, tea and cloth in the Central Plains are also pretty good products in the north, and they can be made at both ends. So when the merchants heard it, they were frightened, from the fear at the beginning to the efforts of Lu Bu later.

The caravan's license must not be issued randomly, it must reach a certain scale and be approved before it can be issued.

The government controls the caravan through permits and taxes.

The strategy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce was implemented in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The main reason was that the population was small and the business was underdeveloped. Therefore, if you wanted to focus on commerce, you could not be more important than agriculture and suppressing commerce. Of course, when we arrived at Lu Bu, there were some changes, focusing on agriculture and commerce. In terms of business management, tax revenue was lighter, and there were more things that could be sold. Apart from salt and iron, there were basically no taboos.
