"Quiet, in the court, how dare you discuss and make such noise like a vegetable market." Dong Zhuo roared loudly at the ministers below.

Under the strong murderous aura, there was no doubt that if he uttered another word, he would be pulled out by the soldiers and guards arranged by Dong Zhuo outside and beheaded for the crime of disrespect.

The next moment, many courtiers who had been frightened by Dong Zhuo's lewd force many times stopped talking and continued to listen respectfully with their expressions changed.

Seeing everyone swallowing their anger, Dong Zhuo snorted and said: "The second thing is that the prime minister feels the poverty and hardship of the people in the world, so he wants to grant amnesty to the entire world."

"Everyone in the family who owns less than [-] acres of thin farmland will be exempted from taxes starting from today. All taxes and duties will be exempted for ten years."

"At the same time, the truth also wants to grant a general amnesty to the world. Except for the crime of treason, all sinners will be pardoned and no longer need to be locked up in cells. Those who have committed crimes of less than three years will be released on the spot, and those who have committed crimes of more than three years will be transported to Luoyang. The truth is The supervisors of the Xiliang army worked and were paid daily for three years."

"Of course, if you have special talents, courage or skills, you can be particularly forgiven."

"Do you all understand?" After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo asked loudly again.

"The Prime Minister is kind." Compared with the first thing before, the second thing obviously has little direct relationship with the nobles and nobles here. Although the amnesty and exemption are not their share, it is still a good deed after all, so I congratulate you immediately. Said something.

Of course, they would never have a good impression of Dong Zhuo just because of this. The previous statement about his intention to interfere with the appointment and dismissal of traditional officials of the gentry had been stuck in their minds and they could not get rid of it.

"Well, now that we know it, that's good. When we look back at the truth, we will issue a formal announcement to spread the word to the world."

"Well, by the way, Yuan Gui."

"I'm here," the old Yuan Gui said in response.

"Your Yuan family has always said that your disciples and old officials are all over the world. The matter of pardoning the criminals and bringing them to Luoyang just now is left to your Yuan family."

"I see Yuan Shao! There happens to be a vacancy for the governor in Bohai County, Jizhou. If Yuan Shao is good at it, he can go to Bohai to take up the post! Otherwise, he will always be in his thirties and achieve nothing. What will it look like?" When Yuan Gui retorted, Dong Zhuo stopped talking in a few words.

"This is the Prime Minister." Yuan Wei said with a worried look.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Dong Zhuo slapped him on the shoulder, stared at him, and asked fiercely: "Master Yuan has some opinions on the truth, huh."

"Don't dare." Feeling the severe pain on his shoulder, the elderly Yuan Wei whispered with trembling lips.

"It's okay if you don't dare. Remember, I will hold everything back for you. All I need is for you to obey my wise and mighty command and don't cause any trouble for me. Otherwise, I will The sword doesn't recognize people."

"The truth is, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by killing. If there is, kill more. If you kill more, everything will be solved." Dong Zhuo loudly expressed his thoughts on killing in the group. With the minister's pale face, Dong Zhuo announced, "Disband the dynasty."

Half an hour later, Dong Zhuojun, who returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to sit down, saw Li Ru and many of his generals, such as Hua Xiong, Li Cui, Guo Si and others.

There was also a man who was nine feet tall, with a handsome face, a heroic posture, and an extremely arrogant expression. He took the lead and said, "Father."

"Well, Feng is here first, sit by the side." Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a chuckle like Maitreya.

"Thank you, foster father." Although he didn't know why Dong Zhuo was in a happy mood today, it was a good thing no matter how he said it.

Moreover, although Lu Bu did not go to the court meeting today, he had heard about the two things Dong Zhuo said before, and Lu Bu quite agreed with this.

The first thing has nothing to do with him, but the second thing about tax exemption is a good thing for Lu Bu, who also comes from a lower class background. Although it still has nothing to do with him now, it does not hinder Lu Bu. So happy for my former hometown people.

"Wen You, please sit down too." Dong Zhuo greeted Li Ru and others.

"Yes, lord." Li Ru and the generals responded with their hands raised.

"Wen You just saw you come in and was hesitant to speak. Do you have something to say to me? We are all our own now. If you have anything to say, just say it!" After the two sides sat apart, Dong Zhuo spoke to Li Ru first. asked.

"Yes, Lord." After hearing this, Li Ru stood up and said respectfully: "My Lord, Ru just wanted to ask, haven't you already decided to appease the nobles?"

"Why did you do this today?"

"Interfering in the appointment of officials from the world's gentry will inevitably cause backlash from the world's gentry. Moreover, the taxes of the people of the world will be reduced or exempted. What will we eat!"

"Humph, nobles." Faced with Li Ru's bitter persuasion, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"Originally, Ben Xiang wanted to do this, but Ben Xiang underestimated the contempt and fear of those noble clans towards pure warriors like Ben Xiang."

"Can I really make those nobles surrender under my command by having a good relationship with me against my will? I can't see it!"

"A few days ago, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family dared to draw his sword against the Prime Minister in the court. He simply didn't take the truth into account. If you hadn't dissuaded him at the beginning, the Prime Minister would have slapped that Zhuzi to death. Really Do you think his three-legged cat performance skills can threaten the truth?" Dong Zhuo shouted angrily.

The slap of the cattail leaf fan made the fine iron table next to him sink slightly.

"That's right, the Prime Minister is magnanimous and does not understand that boy." Facing the angry Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others took the lead in praising: "The Prime Minister is magnanimous, the Prime Minister is kind."

This world is an extraordinary world with immortality, but immortality is hard to find, and even those who have the chance rarely interfere in human affairs.

Therefore, when immortality is not involved, force in the mortal world also has its own set of division systems.

Of course, because there is a better world to look up to, the division of the underlying martial arts is not very careful. The entire martial arts realm is divided into three situations: acquired mortal, innate transformation, and extraordinary energy.

Although Dong Zhuo himself has not made a move for many years, even the newly joined Lu Bu can feel the looming threat from Dong Zhuo, let alone old people like Li Ru who have followed Dong Zhuo for many years.

They all know that Dong Zhuo was also a strong man who was killed on the border with one sword after another. He was a strong man in the Gangqi realm more than ten years ago.

Although no one knows where he is now,

There is no doubt that Dong Zhuo can kill that Yuan Shao with one slap.

"Hmph." Under the congratulations of the generals, Dong Zhuo let it go after snorting coldly, and said instead: "I have thought about it before. Anyway, these nobles and nobles really look down on us from the border areas. The generals who came up to fight."

"If you don't like us, you just don't like us. No matter what you did, people still look down on us. Why is Ana still showing up to them? Are you looking for trouble for yourself?"

"As for the backlash, huh, wouldn't they just do something small if the truth doesn't happen?"

"On the contrary, the truth has seen through. As long as the truth is still controlling the government at the central level, they will not let the truth go. Since they will fall out sooner or later, the truth will strike first and stop them. foundation, or force them to rebel now." Dong Zhuo said with a solemn expression.

"Interfering in official appointments is just a cover. Restricting military affairs is just an excuse. Amnesty is the real trump card."

"I have been fighting wars all my life, and I understand that as long as the war drags on, all we have to fight for is money, food and soldiers. I cut off their taxes first, and while earning fame, let's see what they do next."

"Without the support of the people of the world and the small landlords from poor families at the bottom, no matter how rich the family is, it is impossible to maintain much of an army. I will see what they can do to compete with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in its true form."

Having said this, Dong Zhuo seemed to have remembered something and turned around to look at the generals behind Hua Xiong and said, "Zhiran, Aduo, have you been living a much more relaxed life these days?"

"The whole of Luoyang is full of complaints! It really makes me lose face."

"Excuse me, Prime Minister. I'm just poor and scared, and have never seen the world. Please be merciful, Prime Minister! I will discipline my subordinates strictly when they go back." Upon hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ji and Guo Si immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Humph, you are guilty."

"The men below have followed me, Dong Zhuo, in the north and south for many years. They have suffered so much, suffered so much, and many of their brothers have turned into corpses."

"Now that I have become a successful person, I will naturally not forget them. I have no objection to having fun or anything like that."

"But if you need anything, you can ask me. Now this Luoyang City is my territory. You don't even talk to me, you just take it yourself. Do you still care about my existence?" Dong Zhuo yelled and cursed loudly. .

"Prime Minister, forgive me." Faced with the angry Dong Zhuo, Li urged Guo Si and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. Behind them, Ruji and Fan Chou also knelt down to apologize.

"Humph, do you know how to apologize now? Then do you know where you went wrong? Ah!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"This." In response to Dong Zhuo's question, the four people who were frightened and panicked glanced at each other, then looked at Li Ru aside with bewildered eyes, hoping that he would beg for them like before. plead.

"It's really hopelessly stupid." Seeing the little movements of the four people below, Dong Zhuo's fat cheeks couldn't help but twitch.

"Fengxian, you are from Wuyuan, a native of Bingzhou. It is not called the Central Plains, but it is actually similar to the grassland. You have grown up in the border areas since you were a child, and you should have seen the shepherds of the grassland tribes."

"Yes, foster father, I am indeed from Wuyuan. I have seen many shepherds since I was a child." Lu Bu, who was watching a play before, heard Dong Zhuo's sudden question and immediately answered in the affirmative.

"Shepherd! Then tell me how shepherds treat their flocks and lambs." Dong Zhuo said again.

Li Ru on the side had already begun to mourn for Li Ji and others.

Previously, he thought that Dong Zhuo was angry because Li Ji and others did not notify Dong Zhuo before doing things, which made Dong Zhuo feel ignored, which was why he made the previous accusation, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case.

"But this is a good thing. At least my lord has begun to face up to the power of the people at the bottom." Li Ru thought happily.

Lu Bu, who heard Dong Zhuo's question on the other side, didn't know why Dong Zhuo asked such a question, but it was common sense in the border grasslands, so Lu Bu said directly without any hesitation: "Of course I'm taking care of it as a family member."

"For the shepherds on the grassland, the sheep are the majority of their wealth and the only basis for their survival. Without the sheep, they will face a crisis of life and death, so any shepherd will do his best. The mind takes care of the flock.”

"Even when they are about to be slaughtered, they are extremely caring and pious, let alone ordinary times."

"Especially the lambs, which are almost equivalent to the shepherd's own children. Bu used to see the grassland tribes migrating. If the lamb was weak, there would be a shepherd including his family members holding or carrying the lamb. Migrate together.”

"Shepherds, hehehe." After listening to Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo sneered and said to Li Ji and the four men who were lying on the ground: "Look, even the barbaric grassland herdsmen in the border areas know to treat their sheep well and protect them. Your own food, clothing and parents.”

"But what about you! Ah! Wool, goat milk, and mutton all come from the sheep. Don't you four idiots know that? How dare you directly harm my sheep."

"Tough them to death, you all go to me and Northwest Feng!" Dong Zhuo cursed.

"Ah! The people are like sheep." Li Ji and others exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, it’s not that Li Ji and the others didn’t know about shepherds protecting their sheep, but they had never regarded the common people as their sheep. Rather, it was because they always plundered foreigners in the border areas, and if they got used to it, they would spend their free time. They looted and killed people around them.

But now that they heard Dong Zhuo's words, Li Jiu and the others immediately turned around.

"That's right, how could I harm my own flock of sheep! Although they eat well for a while, who will eat them after killing them?" Li Jiu and the four of them had some strange thoughts in their minds.

"I'm telling you that since I became the Prime Minister of this great Han Dynasty, I plan to stay in Luoyang City for a long time. Therefore, when you guys do things, you can't bring the customs from the border areas here."

Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "Especially we must not harm Laozi's sheep. On the contrary, we must protect them. Only after they multiply and grow, can we collect more wool and goat milk, as well as more mutton suppliers." "

"Yes, Prime Minister." After understanding Dong Zhuo's meaning, Li Ji and others immediately bowed their hands and knelt down.

"Hmph, it's good to understand." After seeing that these reckless men below finally understood, Dong Zhuo nodded immediately and said: "If you make mistakes, you must not go unpunished. Let the four of you summon the people of Luoyang tomorrow to give you four some symbolic meaning. Punishment can also vent people’s resentment.”
