Only Guanzhong and Bingzhou are slightly better. Guanzhong has a superior geographical location and is rarely affected by wars. However, the drought in the past two years was also severe, and many people died.
As for Bingzhou, it was originally a remote village with a thin population.However, after Lu Bu defeated the Xianbei people, he gradually settled down, and Qiang people moved in. Bingzhou Mu Yanxin paid attention to the development of people's livelihood and agriculture.Last year, the population also passed the million mark.
"Regarding population growth, do you have any good suggestions?" Lu Bu asked.
In fact, the easiest and most direct way to increase the population is to let the people reproduce more.But now in this world, the common people can't even support themselves, even if they give birth to children, it is almost difficult to survive in the world.
Chen Gong thought about it for a while, and soon came up with an idea: "My lord, do you know the strategy of Yue King Goujian's survival?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "I would like to hear the details."
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Goujian was defeated and captured. He tried his best for several years and decided a national policy called "ten years of recuperation and ten years of rest." Chen Gong said slowly, almost reciting the historical records: "One of them is to encourage Population production. The decree stipulates that: if the strong man is not allowed to take an old woman, if the old man is not allowed to marry a strong wife, if a woman does not marry at seventeen, her parents are guilty, and if a husband does not marry at thirty, her parents are guilty. Those who will be spared will be sued, and the public doctor Keep it, give birth to a husband, two jugs of wine and a dog; give birth to a daughter, two jugs of wine, and a dolphin; give birth to three people, the male and his mother; two people, the male and her to eat."
The meaning can be roughly interpreted into two ways:
One is to promote early marriage and early childbearing. Women are 17 years old and men are 30 years old. If they are not married, they will be punished by the government.
The other is to promote the quality of the population. If there is a huge age gap between a man and a woman, marriage is not allowed.
When a woman in Yue State is about to give birth, she has to report to the government, and the government will appoint a doctor to come to the door to guard and deliver the baby for free.If you give birth to a boy, you will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a dog; if you have a girl, you will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a pig.Those who have three children will be assigned to nurses to nurse them.
If a prostitute gives birth to a child and refuses to raise it, the state can raise it for her.
Lu Bu rested his chin and thought for a while. Although Goujian was a historical figure from six to seven hundred years ago, and his age was long, and his government orders conflicted with the current situation, it was still a good policy and could be improved and emulated.
As long as Yanzhou is stable, after two or three generations, the population will naturally grow back.
"My lord, this subordinate also agrees with the military division's opinion."
Pang Ji spoke out to express his support, and at the same time made a suggestion: "There are many unmarried soldiers in the army. My lord can also take this opportunity to arrange a large-scale blind date event, so that unmarried women from all over the country will come to Yanzhou for a blind date. , you can directly register and log in, and go back to prepare for the marriage."
In this way, it can not only contribute to population growth, but also solve life-long events for the soldiers in the army, and also consolidate the people's hearts of Yanzhou.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
"well said!"
After listening to Pang Ji's speech, Lu Bu laughed heartily, and the drummer praised him.
Regarding Pang Ji's accepting of bribes, Lu Bu knew very well, but he thought that Pang Ji had followed him for more than ten years and had outstanding abilities.So as long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, even if he collects some compensation in private, Lu Bu has always turned a blind eye.
Afterwards, the three seriously discussed and formulated a new policy in the hall, and planned to promote it in various parts of Yanzhou in the near future.
Not long after, Chen Wei walked in from outside the hall, holding a sealed scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, handed it to Lu Bu respectfully, and said softly, "My lord, a letter from Chang'an."
Lu Bu, who was discussing with Chen Gong and Pang Ji, interrupted temporarily, took the bamboo slips, and began to examine them carefully.
As time passed, Lu Bu's brows gradually frowned, forming the word 'one'.
Seeing that Lu Bu's expression was not good, Chen Gong asked tentatively, "My lord, what happened?"
After reading the letter, Lu Bu handed over the bamboo slips, you can read them for yourself.
Chen Gong took it with both hands, and browsed with Pang Ji beside him.
The letter contained a lot of content, and it was almost full.
The thin and sharp handwriting, at first glance, is written by Xi Ce himself.
The letter mentioned that the courtiers were arguing endlessly in the temple about Lu Bu's appointment as king, and finally the emperor granted Yan Wei the title of Yong'an Lord, and this matter came to an end.
Everyone in Zhang Yuan was not afraid of the emperor, but wanted to know what Lu Bu meant, whether to give in or to continue to fight.
In addition, it also mentioned the matter of Lu Zhuan picking up Wang Yue.
Wang Yue became famous in his youth, but disappeared without a trace after he finished fighting the world's masters at the age of 25.After an all-round investigation by the School Affairs Office, it was finally found out from the personnel records of the palace that after Wang Yue disappeared, he entered the palace and served as General Huben for Emperor Huan Liu Zhi, responsible for the security of the guards.
Later, Lingdi Liu Hong ascended the throne and transferred Wang Yue from bright to dark to prevent accidents.
Until the seventh year of Guanghe, that is, the year when the Yellow Turban rebelled, Wang Yue was sent out of the palace because of trivial matters that offended Liu Hong. As for where he went, it is not recorded in the book.
Based on this, the play speculates that with Liu Hong's violent temper, if Wang Yue really offended the emperor, he would definitely be killed by Liu Hong on the spot, and he would not be allowed to leave safely.
So the play trick ordered the eyeliner who was placed in the palace to inquire around, but because of the rebellion of the ten permanent servants back then, after He Jin was killed, the eunuchs in the palace were purged by the Yuan brothers in large numbers, and the person who knew the clues about Wang Yue was Very few.
Therefore, Xi Ce believed that Liu Hong [-]% used this arrangement to send Wang Yue out of the palace to perform some kind of mission.
Liu Hong is an absurd and domineering fool, but he is not a fool.
Lu Bu was deeply touched by this.
"What do you think?" Lu Bu asked the two most trusted counselors in the hall.
The two thought about it carefully, and Pang Ji was the first to express his opinion: "According to my subordinates, Wang Yue's matter may be a well-designed conspiracy...but it's not sure that the eldest son is really blessed. Chance."
uh~
Lu Bu mused, it would be a blessing for the eldest son to have a swordsman like Wang Yue instructing Zhuan'er on swordsmanship.But if this is a trap set by others, it will also be a dangerous item that can explode at any time, extremely dangerous.
Before finding out the truth of the matter, Lu Bu decided to wait and see what happened, and asked the Wang Zheng of the School Affairs Office to step up his efforts. At the same time, he also sent secret guards to keep an eye on Wang Yue.
The matter of Wang Yue was put aside for the time being, and the topic returned to the theme of 'King the King'.
Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Bu, and said again: "My lord, I think it's too early to say anything about becoming a king. Although the lord is famous in Jiuzhou and has made great achievements, different surnames are not allowed to be kings. This is also the rule of the previous emperors. The following rules cannot be violated easily. If the lord is obsessed with this, he may be criticized by the world and lose the hearts of the people."
"The military master's words are absurd!"
Pang Ji retorted on the spot, arguing with reason: "Imagine, the lord has worked hard and worked hard for the Han Dynasty for many years. Now, the lord defeated Cao Cao and regained Yanzhou. With such a great contribution, the court actually only rewarded the lord's wife as Lord Yong'an. There is no reward, it is simply unfair!"
Not to be outdone, Chen Gong asked loudly, "Don't tell me you want the lord to bear the name of infidelity!"
Pang Ji snorted coldly, and a stern light flashed in his eyes: "Since the court and the emperor are not benevolent, why should my lord talk about loyalty to him, and simply replace him with the Han, and see what the emperor can do!"
"enough!"
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, shouted, and interrupted the two people who were still arguing. At the same time, he gave Pang Ji a look and warned: "Yuan Tu, don't say this again!"
Just based on the sentence just taken from the Han Dynasty, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, it is enough to ransack his family and exterminate him.
Pang Ji knew that he had touched Lu Bu's bottom line, but there didn't seem to be much panic in his eyes, he bowed his hands and answered 'yes'.
"Retire first, I'm tired."
Lu Bu waved his hand, motioning for the two to back off.
After the two left, Lu Bu sat on his seat and rubbed his slightly swollen head with his hands, looking a little tired.
Seal the king.
