Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Man Chong took Guo Jia to the street and took him with him to find Liu Yu.

Guo Jia broke free from Man Chong's hand and complained, "Bo Ning, you do your best for Uncle Liu, that's your business. I haven't decided whether I want to join Uncle Liu. How about this, when I make up my mind, I will go to see him, but not now."

Man Chong knew that his friend was unorthodox and often did not play by the rules. After hearing what Guo Jia said, he did not want to force him.

"Fengxiao, you haven't met the emperor's uncle. If you had, you would have felt like you were old friends."

"Let's not talk about this for now. I've been held captive for a long time and I'm really a little hungry. Now that you hold an important position, it would be really inconsiderate of you to not prepare some food and wine for your old friend to come."

When it comes to talking, Man Chong can't beat him, so he has no choice but to take him somewhere to have a drink.

Along the way, Man Chong asked about the young man with a sword on his back beside Guo Jia. When he learned that he was here to worship Wang Yue as his disciple, he was slightly surprised.

However, since he can grind an iron rod into a needle, based on his perseverance, his aptitude can be considered excellent.

Several people came to a pub. The pub was not big, but there were people coming and going, and business was good.

Before the side dishes were served, Guo Jia had already drunk several glasses of wine.

"The wine in Chang'an is a bit spicier than the wine I drank before. The wine in each place is different. My wish in this life is to taste all the fine wines in the world. If I can fulfill my wish, I will have no regrets in this life!"

Ever since meeting Guo Jia, Man Chong has always had a smile on his face.

He knew Guo Jia's habits very well. Although what Guo Jia said was good, it was obviously not the whole story.

"Feng Xiao, what you said is a little insincere. You traveled all over the world just to taste fine wine. I don't believe it."

Guo Jia drank a glass of wine and laughed.

"Heroes have always loved beauties. There is nothing to hide about this. My parents gave me life, and Berning knows me best. Come, come, let's drink a cup for this confidant."

Man Chong's eyes were smiling. He knew all your hobbies without having to date you for long.

There is no way. In the eyes of others, I am unorthodox, but in Fengxiao's eyes, I am free and easy.

The two of them drank a few more glasses of wine, and the drunkenness in Guo Jia's eyes became more intense.

According to Man Chong's understanding of him, it wouldn't be long before Guo Jia would be drunk on the table.

Although he loves drinking, he can't drink much and always gets drunk after drinking.

Things turned out just as Man Chong had expected. Guo Jia drank a few more cups and fell asleep directly on the table.

Shi A, the young man with a sword on his back, had a calm expression on his face. It was obvious that he had seen this countless times on the journey from Luoyang to Chang'an and was no longer surprised.

After Guo Jia fell drunk, Man Chong put down his wine glass and fell into deep thought.

From what Guo Jia said just now, Man Chong had already understood what Guo Jia meant. It was obvious that at this moment, he had not yet decided whether to surrender to Uncle Liu.

He knew Guo Jia's character very well. Although he seemed calm and casual about everything, he was actually very opinionated. Naturally, he had not made up his mind yet, and he did not dare to take him to see Liu Yu rashly.

After pondering for a long time, Man Chong made up his mind to find a place for him to settle down first. If he figured it out one day, he would take him to see Liu Huangshu.

As for Shi A, Man Chong asked him what he thought. Shi A's idea was very simple, that is to meet Uncle Liu and his master as soon as possible. He wanted to learn sword from his master and practice swordsmanship to become the best in the world.

……

……

When Liu Yu took Zhang Ji to watch the excitement, he found that people had already dispersed. Liu Yu did not expect Man Chong to deal with it so quickly. According to his understanding of Man Chong, he should at least punish him in public to serve as a warning to others.

Liu Yu, who finally regained his childish innocence, wanted to watch the fun, but he didn't expect it to end in failure.

Liu Yu's face turned slightly red, and he turned to look at Zhang Ji, and found that this man remained calm and his heart was not beating, and it was obvious that he did not take this matter to heart.

Liu Yu sighed in his heart that after coming to this world, he has tried his best to restrain himself and strive to be perfect. But no matter in the past life or this life, the things he experienced were too superficial, and he still needs to continue to improve in handling all the details.

Something seemed a little unreasonable, so Liu Yu went to ask the madam.

The madam was not in a very good mood to begin with. Seeing that although Liu Yu was young, he had an extraordinary bearing, and that there were two people following him with a cold aura, she felt even more frightened.

She suppressed her anger and calmly told Liu Yu what had just happened.

When Liu Yu heard the name Fengxiao, he understood everything instantly.

It turns out that the guy who was having sex with Guo Jia was Guo Jia. No wonder Man Chong handled it so quickly.

Liu Yu was still a little excited when he heard the news that Guo Jia was coming to Chang'an.

Without waiting for the madam to finish her words, he turned around and left with the two of them.

The old procuress watched the several people leaving and couldn't help but doubt Guo Fengxiao's identity. The young man who had just asked her had a similar expression to Man Chong after hearing this name, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Excited Liu Yu returned to his mansion, thinking that Man Chong would be waiting there with Guo Jia, but the mansion was empty and there was no trace of the two.

Liu Yu guessed that there must be some unexpected changes in the middle, so he was not too anxious.

Since he can come to Chang'an, I have the ability to keep him.

Since Guo Jia did not come, he put the matter aside for the time being and began to make arrangements for Zhang Ji's military farming.

The technical difficulty of military farming is not high. You just need to lead the soldiers and refugees to reclaim the wasteland.

The land is owned by the government, and refugees only have the right to use it, not the right to buy or sell it.

Seeds and farm tools are provided by the government.

The harvest from the land reclaimed by the soldiers was turned over to the government.

The tax on the harvest from the land reclaimed by refugees is one-tenth.

"Tax is one tenth of the total. Isn't this tax burden too low? After all, food is essential to maintaining a strong army."

Liu Yu had already thought about Zhang Ji's question in his mind. Not only the army, but the government also needed a large amount of food to operate normally.

The tax rate is one tenth, which is very low, not to mention in this era, even in prosperous times.

The reason why Liu Yu set the tax burden low was to attract more refugees to seek refuge with him.

Troubled times are coming, and whoever can control the population will gain the upper hand in future struggles.

As for the food support to maintain the operation of the army and government, Liu Yu's plan is business. As long as the projects he envisioned can be implemented according to plan, the source of food can be well solved.

Use military farms to gather people together, and use commerce to support the army.

"Don't worry about this. I already have a plan in mind."

Looking at Liu Yu's indifferent eyes, Zhang Ji felt relieved. In today's world, it is no problem to gather people based on benevolence and righteousness, but he also has to make decisions based on his actual situation.

If we don’t have a reliable source of food, and blindly win over the people’s hearts and minds, it will most likely end up in a disaster.
