Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 439: Countermeasures

"After Wei Gong returned, he posted a notice to buy rice from the people of Bingzhou. The price must be fair and the people must not be forced. All businessmen who secretly raise the price of food will be arrested. During this period, I do not want to see anyone

Merchants sell the rice grains to other states and counties." Lu Bu said, merchants are pursuing profits, and at times like this, there is no guarantee that they will not take desperate measures. Hoarding rice grains and raising grain prices are also their usual methods.

"Lord, if the military pay for the generals and soldiers in the army is suspended and three meals are changed to two meals, I am afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied." Guo Jia said worriedly.

Lu Bu nodded slightly. How could he not know this? It's just that he has confidence in Jinyang's army. No matter whether it can succeed or not, he will give it a try. "If it fails, I will not force it."

After making some general arrangements, Lu Bu rushed to the army. After receiving the order, the generals in the army had already gathered.

Lu Bu slowly walked up to the high platform and looked around at everyone. The people who could gather here were at least a military prince or above.

"Many of you are ordinary people, and you have reached where you are today through your own efforts step by step. I am very pleased, but now Bingzhou has reached a critical moment." Lu Brown said.

The generals in the army were confused. They had not received news of the war. Besides, when facing the war, the Bingzhou army had never been afraid of others. Except when Xianbei invaded the border, the Jizhou army attacked Huguan, and Bingzhou was in crisis. Could it be the Xianbei people?

Is it coming back again? Or will the Jizhou army attack Hanoi?

"What I am talking about is not a war. Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili suffered from severe drought and locust plague. Many people had no harvest and were desperate. They went to Bingzhou one after another. If you are me, should you drive them out of Bingzhou or let them go?

Did they enter Bingzhou?"

From the eyes of the generals, Lu Bu had already got the answer. Many of them were ordinary people, and they had deep feelings for ordinary people. It was Bingzhou's generous treatment of the people that made them feel at ease every time they fought.

They knew that even if they died on the battlefield, the Marquis of Jin would not treat their families badly, and even if they were injured, they would not worry about their lives when they returned to Bingzhou.

"My decision is to let the people enter Bingzhou." Lu Bu said firmly.

When the generals below heard this, they shouted in unison: "The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop the commotion below: "But Bingzhou is short of money and food, but 30,000 refugees have gathered outside Huguan, and more refugees will come. From now on, the military salaries of the army's lieutenants, generals, and soldiers will be temporarily suspended, and the soldiers will have three meals a day."

, temporarily changed to two meals, the salaries of officials in the city were halved, and generals who had objections stepped forward."

Most of the generals stood still, they just turned their attention to Lu Bu.

Some generals were talking in low voices, and they looked a little dissatisfied. Not only did they lose their military pay, but they also had to withhold food, and it was difficult to explain to the soldiers under their command after they returned.

"I know the worries of many soldiers. This is also a critical moment for Bingzhou. After Bingzhou is stabilized, all the arrears of military pay will be made up. I hope you can explain it to the soldiers well after you return. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Go to the Prefectural Mufu, and I will handle it personally." Lu Bu said.

The generals who had doubts were relieved when faced with Lu Bu's words. In their minds, the Marquis of Jin always kept his word. If it were another general who had said these words, I am afraid that the camp would have been a long time ago.

It's a big deal in the army to blow up the pot and deduct military pay, but only the Marquis of Jin has such courage.

"If you have no objections, this matter will be settled for the time being. I would like to thank you all on behalf of the people outside Huguan." Lu Bu bowed deeply.

The generals in the field hurriedly returned the salute, and some generals even had red eyes. Some of them followed Lu Bu from Luoyang to Bingzhou, and they had a deeper understanding of the difficulties of the people in troubled times. If Lu Bu had not attacked Dong Zhuo, they would have barely arrived.

After Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive. They still know the situation of the people in Chang'an now. From time to time, people will flee from Chang'an to Bingzhou. It can be said that the people in Chang'an today are in dire straits, and Lu Bu is even more determined to do this for the people.

This made them determined to follow Lu Bu.

After Lu Bu left, the generals in the army were also talking about it. This incident had a great impact on them.

"General Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

General Zhao said with red eyes: "You are from Bingzhou, so you naturally don't understand the difficulties of the people. When I was rescued by the Marquis of Jin, the people along the way had no food. At that time, the Marquis of Jin ordered the soldiers in the army to bring the food to them.

Three ingredients were given to the people. Although each person only got a few mouthfuls, they were very satisfied. More people relied on the bark and grass roots along the way to satisfy their hunger. Every time they went to a place, the bark and grass roots were the most precious.

The things finally arrived in Bingzhou under the leadership of the Marquis of Jin, and now the refugees outside Huguan remind me of the past."

Many generals fell silent upon hearing this.

"Most of us are from ordinary people. If the Marquis of Jin can treat the people like this, why should we hesitate? Besides, the military salary will be supplemented in the future. So what's the matter with two meals a day? In the past, the army always had two meals a day.

, and I haven’t seen anyone starve to death." A general shouted.

With these generals returning to appease the soldiers, and the Marquis of Jin's promise, it did not cause much shock. Many soldiers heard this and even took out their accumulated military pay to donate to the Prefectural Mufu.

After Lu Bu learned about this, he felt relieved. As for the salary of the military officers, he would not ask for it. The soldiers paid for it with their blood on the battlefield. It was also an expedient measure to default on the military salaries. Once these

After the people are stabilized in Bingzhou, military pay will be distributed.

Many people outside Huguan couldn't help but shed tears when they ate the hot porridge. They came from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, or Sili. Some of them even went to Jizhou to face the soldiers.

Driven away, they had no choice but to go to Bingzhou.

I thought I would face the same treatment. After all, there were too many people outside Huguan.

But when the porridge shacks were set up outside Huguan, they not only drooled, but also felt grateful.

An old man with gray hair fell to his knees with a thud and cried loudly.

More and more people are feeling something in their hearts and sobbing incessantly. This bowl of porridge has made them completely identify with Bingzhou in their hearts.

There are many nobles among the refugees. They came here to inquire about Bingzhou's treatment of refugees. The surrounding scenes also affected them. They couldn't help but think of their relatives at home. If the same situation happened in other states and counties,

What would it be like?
