Chapter 306 Hundreds of waste waiting for fun
"Okay, with the help of people like you, I, Lv Bu, is like a tiger." Lv Bu saw that Zhou Jin should be a scholar. Lv Bu has been stubborn. Neither Xun Yu nor Jia Xu can easily tame him. Since Zhou Jin is willing to take effect, Lv Bu naturally has no reason to refuse.
"It's an honor for Zhou Jin to serve the general." Zhou Jin said it all in the end.
After getting Zhou Jin's allegiance, Lv Bu came directly to Longxi City. At this time, the first thing Lv Bu should do is to settle the matter of the hero tomb just decided. However, for Lv Bu, a martial artist, to do a good job in the hero tomb, convince the soldiers, and make the people yearn for it. It is indeed a little difficult. Fortunately, Lv Bu Now he is not fighting alone. Behind him is Cai Yong, his father-in-law. According to Cai Yong's knowledge and ability, he can do all these things. However, in Lv Bu's opinion, although Cai Yong is knowledgeable, he unfortunately lacks the color of a magic stick, otherwise this scene will be very good. Thinking of this, Lv Bu wanted to go to Cai Yong to discuss it immediately. However, Lv Bu came to Longxi with a wolf, and Cai Yong and Cai Yan are still on their way to Longxi. However, even so, Lv Bu first asked people to clean up an elegant courtyard in the city. This used to be a large house, although it was fought. The damage is serious, but if you clean it up a little, you can still see that the owner of this house must have made a lot of effort. This elegant but not luxurious tone is just right for Cai Yong. Cai Yong, who wants to get such a house, will not be embarrassed to contribute to Lv Bu.
Then Lv Bu began to inspect all parts of Longxi City. Although Longxi City still has the establishment of the government, it is a pity that all kinds of settings have been dilapidated, and many places need to be rebuilt, especially some facilities such as the city walls.
"General, it seems that we need to start building various defense facilities immediately. Such a defense can't resist the enemy's attack." Seeing the dilapidated Longxi City in front of him, Zhang Liao couldn't help saying that the current defense of Longxi was simply full of loopholes in Zhang Liao's eyes.
"I feel the same way, but I'm not good at building, and I don't know if any of my generals are good at building." Looking at Taishici next to him, Lv Bu said leisurely, looking very embarrassed. Lv Bu originally intended to let Zhang Liao take charge of the construction. However, I feel that it is really a little aggrieved to put Zhang Liao in this kind of city construction. It must be that Lv Bu's goal is not just a Longxi. Zhang Liao has a more important task for Lv Bu.
"General, my subordinates are not willing to fully supervise the construction of Longxi City and build a strong city for the general." Sure enough, as soon as Lv Bu spoke, Zhang Liao first clenched his fist and said. Although Zhang Liao was not Dian Wei's opponent in the fight, when it came to building the city, Zhang Liao believed that no one in Lv Bu's army could compare with him, so he said bravely.
"Well, is there only Zhang Liao around me?" Lv Bu said and took another look at Tai Shici. When Taishi Ci saw Lv Bu looking at him, he immediately reflected it. Lv Bu disliked that he ate and lived for nothing and didn't work.
"Although Tai Shici is stupid, he also has a lot of experience in building a city. He is willing to build a city for the general." Seeing what Lv Bu meant, Tai Shici immediately said.
"Haha, I've heard for a long time that General Taishi is a versatile person, and it's really good to see him today. When General Taishi builds the city, please remember that when Longxi City is newly built, as long as it is improved on the original basis, it will be more suitable for the development of agriculture and commerce. As for defense, you don't have to pay too much attention. I, Lv Bu, must be used to attacking. Seeing that Tai Shici was interested, Lv Bu laughed and agreed.
The reason why Lv Bu made Taishi Ci pay attention to the development of agriculture and commerce is that he is afraid that Taishi Ci will build Longxi into a military fortress. It is sure that Lv Bu's wolf horse is not suitable for defense. Besides, Lv Bu does not believe that someone can make himself into Longxi City to defend. However, although Lv Bu has said that Taishici should pay more attention to the development of Longxi City and agriculture and commerce, the city is originally born for defense, and this defense is naturally an indispensable part, and the so-called suitable for the development of agriculture and commerce is to build more shops and build a few more farm tools. We also plan to build some grain warehouses.
"General, don't worry, Tai Shici will do his best." In the face of Lv Bu's request, although Tai Shici was unknown, he still reluctantly agreed. In Taishici's view, it is easy to understand that it should be suitable for agricultural development. Agriculture, industry and commerce, agriculture is an extremely important thing for each country. What's more, in order to maintain the adequacy of military grain, such as warehouses and grain acquisition facilities are indispensable, but Lv Bu's emphasis on commerce, Tai Shici does not understand it. After all, Although the merchant in the Han Dynasty is very rich, it is still a humble profession. The spirit of not folding his waist for five buckets of rice is naturally very clear. How did Tai Shici know that the reason why Lv Bu wanted to develop business was just because he was short of money. I want to make some extra money.
"Ha ha, General Ziyi is doing things, Lv Bu, I'm naturally relieved." Seeing that Tai Shi Ci readily agreed, Lv Bu laughed and said.
"It's just that the construction of the city is very expensive. I don't know if the general is ready?" Lv Bu was happy, but he was shocked by Tai Shici's words and sweated coldly. At this time, Lv Bu's only goods have purchased a lot of seed farming tools to cultivate cattle, ready to be transported to Longxi to recruit people to open up the wasteland. Lv Bu is really penniless now. Where can he get the money to build the city, but this city can't be built.
In the face of Tai Shici's question, Lv Bu finally understood what it means that the landlord has no surplus food. Although Lv Bu now owns a large area of land in Chang'an and Longxi, he is already a big landlord, and even a local emperor. Unfortunately, this local emperor is indeed overstretched. However, if you think about it carefully, there is indeed a sum of money in Lv Bu's hand, that is, the wages of tens of thousands of soldiers under Lv Bu. Although Lv Bu leads the army alone, these men are still Dong Zhuo's subordinates, so Dong Zhuo's military pay is paid on time. Unfortunately, Lv Bu can't use this money, otherwise he will destroy the Great Wall. .
"Well, about money, you can go to the quartermaster to discuss it. I can't intervene directly." Thinking that he had no money to build a city, Lv Bu could only push the matter to Wei Xu, the current quartermaster officer, and let Tai Shici find Wei Xu to solve it. Lv Bu can imagine that Wei Xu must have no good way to solve it.
"General, Zhou Jin came to see you." At this time, soldiers came to report.
"Please invite him over." As soon as he heard Zhou Jin, Lv Bu suddenly lit up. Zhou Jin and Lv Bu knew that he was a businessman. Now he had devoted himself to his command. He happened to have no money. Why didn't he ask Zhou Jin? Zhou Jin is a businessman. Who can make money? Thinking of this, Lv Bu is looking forward to meeting Zhou Jin.
"I will see General Lv Bu next week." Zhou Jin came to Lv Bu and said deeply.
And a pair of mules and horses behind Zhou Jin were carrying a lot of goods. Lv Bu saw that these goods were the goods brought back by Zhou Jin last time.
"Ha ha, Zhou Jin, you came just right. Tell me, what's the fastest way to make money?" As soon as he saw Zhou Jin, Lv Bu asked without saying a word.
"Well? This one? Is the general testing me? Naturally, the fastest way to make money in the world is business without capital. Zhou Jin is a businessman who travels through prefectures and counties. Naturally, he knows the benefits of business without capital, but this is not so simple for Lv Bu?
"No business, what you are talking about is robbery, robbery, this is too much price drop, is there a better way?" As soon as he heard that there was no business, Lv Bu remembered several robberies and robberies he had done before. Although he robbed all the ill-gotten gains, the reputation of robbery and robbery was naturally not good. He could only do it occasionally, but it could not be used as a fixed vegetable garden. Otherwise, Lv Bu would become the king of the mountain, and how could he fool around in the circle of princes?
"Ha ha, the robbery from the general's income is only a kind of capitalless business. In fact, there can be many kinds of capitalless business. For example, if the general occupies Longxi at this time, he can levy a tax on Baixin in Longxi County, a protection tax on merchants, and a crossing tax and a bridge tax on passing merchants and pedestrians. These are also original. That's what many princes do. Looking at Lv Bu, Zhou Jin told Lv Bu about many wonderful uses of this useless business. I only heard that Lv Bu's eyes were shining.
"Ha ha, what you said seems to make sense. These are indeed capitalless businesses. As long as there is a territory, there will be income." Lv Bu still cared about Zhou Jin's insights. He just talked a few words and helped Lv Bu find a source of money, but it seemed to be a little exhausted. Lv Bu had to ask carefully, "If I do this, will there be any bad impact?" Thinking of the bad consequences of such taxation, Lv Bu couldn't help asking weakly.
"Hahaha, the general is really outstanding. Ordinary princes only ask how to make money, but they don't care about the impact on others after making money. Although the general loves money, he does not want to base his happiness on the pain of others, which is extremely valuable. It can be seen that I, Zhou Jin, have not followed the wrong person. As soon as he heard that Lv Bu met, he began to ask how to make money the fastest. Zhou Jin was shocked and couldn't help connecting Lv Bu with those greedy Han officials. However, when he saw that Lv Bu loved money but could take care of other people's feelings, Zhou Jin was finally relieved. What he was most afraid of was that Lv Bu was overwhelmed by his own rights. As long as Lv Bu can consider other people's feelings and collect his greed, Zhou Jin is still very willing to help Lv Bu. He must be a businessman who pursues profits. In the eyes of businessmen, people are looking for profits, but as long as he can curb his greed, he can be recognized by others.
