Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 123: Human heart

Fortunately, Zhang Liao made an extraordinary move. He turned defeat into victory in Guangling. He defeated Huang Gai and Wu Jing to capture Guangling, exposing Sun Ce's flanks in one fell swoop, and he even crossed the river to rescue Tai Shi Ci, which is even more precious!

Jia Xu couldn't help but praised: "General Zhang Liao is really a wise and brave general! I originally thought that he could only stabilize the front line of Guangling and not make the situation worse. Unexpectedly, it was a blockbuster and defeated Huang Gai and Wu Jing. Guangling, rescued Taishici's subordinates, and made Sun Ce's conspiracy a failure! This is really a general talent!"

At this moment, Ailang is enjoying infinite joy. Hearing Jia Xu's praise, he couldn't help laughing: "That's just enough! Who is Zhang Liao? That's the leader of the five best generals! Single-handedly he is not the most powerful, but it has to be said. Soldiers fight, haha, few of them are his opponents in the world!"

Jia Xu heard that Ai Lang praised Zhang Liao so much. Although he felt a little too much praise, he still deserved such praise from Zhang Liao's current performance. It just made Jia Xu wonder when Zhang Liao became the head of Wu Ziliang. ? What's going on with these five good generals? But this was just a trivial matter in Jia Xu's eyes, so he didn't ask Ailang.

Ayron learned that the situation was going well, and the originally hanging heart was completely relieved. On Jia Xu's suggestion, Ai Lang led his army into the Lujiang River for rest and recuperation. At the same time, it was reported that Zhao Yun led his cavalry to go near Liyang to prevent Sun Ce from leading the army to cross the west, and Zhang Liao was temporarily in charge of all military affairs in the direction of Guangling to wait for orders.

It is said that Sun Jian and Zhou Yu were connected to the report shortly after retiring to Jiangnan, and learned that Sun Ce intended to raid Hefei and eventually returned without success, and that Huang Gai and Wu Jing lost Guangling in the defeat.

Zhou Yu was worried that Sun Jian was angry, so he persuaded: "In this attack, our army's main goal is to capture Danyang County and Wu County, like Lujiang and Guangling in the north of the Yangtze River. It is better to get it, and it is nothing to be a pity! And I think the loss What has not been seen in these two places is a bad thing! If the Lujiang Guangling is in our hands at this moment, we must send heavy troops to guard it, but it is a big burden! Although we are lost now, we are more comfortable!"

When Sun Jian and the general public heard Zhou Yu's remarks, they only felt that it made sense, and the original depressed mood was relieved for most of them.

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Gong Jin is absolutely right!" Then he said straightforwardly: "Never mind! Although we failed to capture Lujiang and Guangling, our gains are still significant! This attack can be said to be quite fruitful!" Can't help but laugh.

The battle that took place in Lujiang finally ended. The Qiao Family Courtyard, located in the mountains of Wanxian County, received the news that when Lu Bu had won, Lu Jiang had all fallen into Lu Bu's hands. This surprised everyone in the Qiao family. The youngest daughter of the Qiao family said indignantly: "How could Lu Bu win a couple of men! Sun Jian is so famous that he can't match Lu Bu, it's totally unreasonable!"

The eldest daughter of the Qiao family laughed and said, "Perhaps that Lu Bu is much better than we thought!" The youngest daughter of the Qiao family snorted.

Mrs. Qiao said: "We can't control the winning or losing of these big men. In short, now our lord is Lu Bu, should I say to the lord?" The last sentence was addressed to Mr. Qiao. The youngest daughter of the Qiao family was unwilling to hear this, so she took her sister by the hand and went to the backyard.

Elder Qiao hadn’t spoken yet, and the servant who came to report hurriedly said, “The lord’s order has come down. This is the lord’s order received by the county government. The villain brought a copy from the county government." The bamboo slip in his hand was presented to Mr. Qiao.

Elder Qiao quickly took the bamboo slips, shaken them away, and looked at them. Mrs. Qiao looked at her husband with concern, and saw that her husband suddenly showed joy and said: "Great! Great! The rumor that how cruel Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's running dog, I think this rumor is really absurd!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help asking: "Why is the master so happy? What is said on this?"

Father Qiao laughed and said: "The lord announced the new laws and taxation system, clearly stipulating that the local government shall not interfere with the business of local merchants, otherwise they will be punished in different ways according to the severity of the circumstances. Moreover, the commercial tax has been greatly reduced and merged into two taxes. Production tax, a sales tax, the tax amount is almost half the previous one!"

Mrs. Joe looked surprised and said: "So good?!"

Father Qiao nodded, then looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and said: "The agricultural tax has also changed. The ordinary people have reduced their burdens, but the more fields, the heavier the tax. My god, there is For those with more than 2,000 acres of fertile land, they have to pay a tax of 60% of the average yield! Haha, but this is also reasonable." Old man Joe seems to support Ailang’s policy, but this is also different from person to person, like Joe The family, which mainly relies on the proceeds of weaving trafficking, naturally supports Ailang’s policy of vigorously supporting and encouraging industry and commerce, and only feels like a fish in the water. However, the family who mainly rely on land for income may have another feeling. , Among them, I am afraid that Ailang is a more evil guy than the previous Yellow Turban thief army, I wish he died without a place to bury him!

Elder Qiao read the bamboo slips and said, "The lord also asked the families of the localities to provide half of the food to help the government rescue the victims. This is a benevolent act, and our Qiao family obliges." After a pause, he said to the servant: "Go ahead." Tell the magistrate, that our Qiao family is willing to provide five thousand dan of grain to support the government." The servant held his fist and promised. Mrs. Joe next to her said in shock: "Five thousand dans are 80% of our food! This..." Seeing Mrs. Joe's expression, she seemed to be reluctant.

Elder Qiao laughed and said, "What is this grain worth? Now this is a good opportunity for us to announce to the new master. How can we miss it! As long as the master remembers our Qiao family, it will be a great opportunity for our future business. There is no harm to benefit!"

Mrs. Qiao felt that what Zhang Fu said was reasonable, so she said nothing more.

Ailang seized a large area of ​​richness in Huainan Jiangbei, but what happened next made Ailang unable to imagine. It turned out that the drought in Huainan this year was very serious. He originally thought that there was still a large amount of grain in the hands of the noble families in various places, so Ai Lang acted both soft and **** Jia Xu's suggestion to force the noble families to take out the grain in their hands. Shouchun's family and big families have indeed amazing food storage, which solved Ai Lang's urgent need. However, Ai Lang did not expect that, except for Shouchun's family and big families, the food storage of other local families was far worse than Ai Lang had previously expected. Although the grain and grass collected from various places in Huainan temporarily alleviated the famine, the follow-up grain and herb land could not solve it. Lujiang, the only place in Huainan that was not affected by the disaster, could solve part of it, but the remaining grain can only be obtained from Xuzhou Shipped in reserve!
