Three Kingdoms: God Of War Lu Bu Starts Guarding Yanmen Pass

After everyone left. When Lu Bu set off from Bingzhou before.

The deployment of personnel has already been arranged.

From Chang'an to Xiliang, a large area.

Chang'an was garrisoned by Zhao Yun. The land of Xiliang was handed over to Ma Chao.

But now Ma Chao is a newcomer.

Seniors are not enough.

It's just an official position as an acting governor.

When the time comes, if there is performance in the martial arts competition.

After everyone was convinced.

Then set him upright.

Guan Yu guarded Luoyang. The Hetao area has been surrounded by Lu Bu's territory. There is no need for generals to guard. You only need to send the generals to take turns guarding them. Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei were transferred back to Bingzhou. Youzhou is still Zhang Liao Tai Shici.

The land of Chang'an has been taken. Things are also proceeding step by step. It doesn't take long to watch.

next goal. Lu Bu decided to take Yuan Shao down.

First, after taking down Chang'an.

The order issued by Chang'an has reached Jizhou.

When Yuan Shao received the news. He was furious.

"Damn Lu Bu. I, Yuan Shao, are the general."

"Now the imperial court is coming to take back my seal. What do you say?"

Yuan Shao's face turned dark with anger. It's uncomfortable to mention this.

Originally, I was doing well in front of the general.

Do it like this now.

Everyone was helpless after listening to it.

"My lord, I still have to return the Great Seal and accept a new official position. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed by the world."

"Yes, my lord. Even if you don't hand over the great seal, the imperial court will only need to announce it to the world. Then order someone to engrave a new great seal and hand it over to Lu Bu.

Our big seal has become a decoration. "

Yuan Shao thought to himself. don't i know

But I can't bear this big seal.

With the rank of general. Coupled with the reputation of the Yuan family.

What I lived in Jizhou was called nourishment.

Yuan Shao saw everyone's expressions in his eyes.

It feels like being abandoned.

After a heavy snort.

"Hand it over."

"Let's talk about it, guys. Now Lu Bu already owns the land of three states. Plus the Hetao Grassland.

It is as good as the territory of the five states of the Han Dynasty. And it has a large population.

What shall we do next. "

"What do you guys think?"

Yuan Shao began to feel the danger.

At this time Tian Feng stood up. Arched his hands and said.

"My lord. First, we need to deploy at least 100,000 troops in Yecheng to prevent Bingzhou from sending troops.

If the Bingzhou cavalry is fast. You can reach the city in a day or two. It will pose a great threat to Jizhou."

"In addition, it is close to the border of Youzhou. It also needs to deploy generals and troops."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Everyone said that Tian Feng was right.

Yuan Shao thought for a moment. With a wave of his hand.

"One hundred thousand troops will also be deployed near Youzhou. More patrols and training will be carried out to prevent sneak attacks by Youzhou soldiers."

"On the other hand. Recruiting soldiers. Collecting food and supplies."

At this time, Yuan Shao saw that his territory was surrounded by Lu Bu.

I couldn't help but hate Lu Bu even more.

Jizhou is the largest state in the world. high population. Along the Yellow River. The land is fertile.

However, this period of time. Yuan Shao was stimulated by Lu Bu.

Now Yuan Shao has been conscription. It has the strength of nearly half a million troops. In addition, a small part of Qingzhou's territory was also occupied.

From this point of view, Yuan Shao is quite powerful.

Even if you want to defeat him. It will also consume a lot of time and money.

But the shortcomings are also more obvious.

There are too many soldiers and horses. Lack of young labor to cultivate.

Many people are just fishing for money in troubled waters.

Insufficient mobility. There are too few cavalry.

If a place is dangerous. It was impossible to mobilize cavalry reinforcements as soon as possible.

The other side. After a period of preparation. Chang'an's business conference is about to begin.

Tribal personnel and businessmen from all over the Western Regions arrived in Chang'an City one after another.

In Chang'an's mansion.

General. In the past few days, many businessmen from other places have come one after another. They are all ready to attend the trade fair.

The members of the Chamber of Commerce under him said to Lu Bu.

"En. You have to do all the work carefully. This meeting will be entrusted to you to host."

"We must pay attention. The layout must be large. We must make Chang'an a major city that affects the countries of the Western Regions.

Strengthen communication and transactions with surrounding areas. Especially our daily necessities and the like. Fully demonstrate advantages and release sincerity.

Of course, some people who make troubles will be handed over to the army. The whole country builds Chang'an into a new landmark, new highland, and new frontier of opening up to the outside world!"

What Lu Bu said made everyone's blood boil.

Merchants from all over the country brought a dazzling array of commodities.

for a while. Consumption in Chang'an. diet. hotel etc.

Business is booming.

And the daily necessities of the two places.

Let the outsiders be dazzled.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement at the exquisiteness of the big man's objects.

Especially things like ceramics and tea.

And silk. these things.

Let all the merchants from the Western Regions rush to buy.

To know. These things can be bought for ten dollars here.

As long as you can take it back. It's not a problem to sell for a few hundred dollars.

Customers are still rushing to buy.

At this time, the emperor secretly changed his clothes. Mixing in the crowd is like a rich kid in Chang'an.

He had never seen such a bustling scene.

Even Luoyang hadn't been seen before it was burned by Dong Zhuo.

And his side was modified by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to play together.

"Brother-in-law. I didn't expect such a scene in Chang'an in such a short period of time."

Liu Bian said happily.

"`~Well, it only takes five years. After five years, Chang'an will be one of the most prosperous places in the world."

Lu Bu said confidently.

Liu Bian had a great time in Chang'an City.

We tasted a lot of delicious food along the way.

Meet people from all over the place.

There are also various merchandise.

After returning to the palace that night.

"Brother-in-law, why don't we tax these people? If we collect taxes, wouldn't we have more income. Can we develop faster?"

Liu Bian is obviously a person who does not understand economics.

Even Zhao Yun and Ma Chao don't understand.

Let them fight is nothing to say,

But they really don't know about it.

"Your Majesty, think about it. If you usually do business worth 100,000 yuan, you have to pay 20% tax. You only have 80,000 yuan. Now I heard that there is a place where you don't have to pay tax. Do you want to go there to do business? This is one of them."

"Second. These people carry a lot of goods. They need a lot of manpower. They need money to eat and stay in the hotel. They need to bring some things back to their families. They need to spend money in Chang'an. They carry a lot of livestock, horses, cattle, sheep, camels, etc. They need to have Let’s keep it somewhere. You need fodder, water and other things. These need to be bought here in Chang’an. In this way, the longer they stay here (Li Qian’s), the more things they will buy. Spend There will be more money.”

"Third. If taxes are collected from the beginning, they will definitely limit their consumption. But if there is no tax, they will consume more. Once this desire to consume is generated, it will be difficult to stop it."

"Today in Jubao Building. You have seen it too. Merchants from the Western Regions, they shouted the price for a piece of exquisite porcelain. For the sake of face. Money doesn't matter to them."

After Liu Bian listened to Lu Bu's explanation.

Also understand a little bit.

"Brother-in-law... When the father was alive, the imperial court ran out of money, so they increased taxes on the common people..." |

Liu Bian was speechless at this point.

After hearing this, everyone's faces were covered with black lines.

If it weren't for your father's crazy tax collection.

Where did the Yellow Turban Rebellion come from?

Coupled with years of natural and man-made disasters.

The common people could no longer survive. It would be strange not to rebel.

Logically speaking, if the imperial court has no money, it can collect more taxes to make money.

But that's not the case. The country is getting poorer anyway..
