Chapter 439: : Countermeasures

"After Wei Gong went back, he posted a notice to buy rice and grain from the people in Bingzhou. The price must be fair, and the people must not be forced. All merchants who secretly raise the price of grain will be arrested. During this period, Benhou does not want to see any Merchants sell rice and grain to other states and counties." Lu Bu said, merchants are chasing profits. At such times, they cannot guarantee that they will not take risks. Hoarding rice and raising food prices are also their usual methods.

"Lord, if the salaries for lieutenants and soldiers are stopped and the three meals are changed to two meals, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction with the soldiers." Guo Jia worried.

Lu Bu nodded slightly. How could he not know about this, but he had confidence in Jinyang's army, no matter whether he could succeed or not, he would have to give it a try.

After making general arrangements, Lu Bu rushed to the army. After the generals in the army were ordered, they had already gathered.

Lü Bu slowly walked up to the high platform and glanced around at the crowd. The lowest level that can gather here is at the rank of military commander or higher.

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

The generals in the army were puzzled that they did not get news of the war. Besides, when facing the war, how did the Binzhou army fear others? Except for the Xianbei offenders, the Jizhou army attacked Huguan, and the state was in danger. Could it be Xianbei? Is it coming back again? Or is the Jizhou army attacking Hanoi?

"What Benhou said was not a war. Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili suffered severe droughts and locust plagues. Many people had no harvest and desperately desperately went to Bingzhou. If you are Benhou, do you drive them out of Bingzhou, or let them Are they entering the Union State?"

From the eyes of the generals, Lu Bu has already got the answer. Many of them, ordinary people, have deep feelings for ordinary people, and it is the state that treats the people generously that makes them feel at ease every time they fight. They knew that even if they died on the battlefield, Jinhou would not treat their family members badly. Even if they were injured, they would not worry about life when they returned to Bingzhou.

"Benhou's decision is to let the people enter Bingzhou." Lu Bu said firmly.

The following generals heard the words and shouted in unison: "The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

Lu Bu reached out to stop the uproar below. "However, there is not enough money and food in Binzhou, but 30,000 refugees have gathered outside Huguan, and more refugees will come. From now on, the payment of military and generals will be temporarily suspended, and the soldiers will have three meals a day. , Temporarily changed to two meals, the salary of the officials in the city was halved, and the generals who had opinions stepped forward."

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

Some generals were talking in low voices, and naturally there was some dissatisfaction in their expressions. Not only was there no military pay, but even the food was deducted, and it was not easy to explain to the soldiers after returning.

"This Hou knows the concerns of many soldiers. This is also a critical moment for the state. After the state is stabilized, all the owed military pay will be made up. I hope that you can explain to the soldiers well after you return. If you have any questions, even though When you go to the prefecture and animal husbandry, Benhou will deal with it personally." Lu Bu said.

The generals in doubt were relieved when faced with Lu Bu's words. In their minds, Jin Marquis had always said nothing. If they were replaced by other generals and said these words, I am afraid the camp would have already said this. Frying the pan, deducting the military salary, but the military taboo, only Jin Hou has such courage.

"If you have no objections, this matter will be set for the time being, and I will thank you all on behalf of the people outside Huguan." Lü Bu bowed deeply.

The generals in the field hurriedly returned their salutes. Some generals even had red eyes. Some of them followed Lu Bu from Luoyang to Bingzhou. They deeply understood the difficulties of the people in the troubled times. If Lu Bu attacked Dong Zhuo, they would have barely arrived. After Chang’an, I’m afraid it’s difficult to survive. The people of Chang’an are quite clear about what is going on now. From time to time there will be people who fled from Chang’an to Bingzhou. Today’s Chang’an can be said to be a poor life for the people, and Lu Bu has done this for the people and is more determined. Their determination to follow Lu Bu.

After Lu Bu left, the generals in the army also talked a lot, and 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. Naturally, you don’t understand the difficulties of the people. At first, they were rescued by the Jin Hou. Along the way, the people had no food. At that time, Jin Hou ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare food. The three ingredients are given to the people. Although each person only has a few mouthfuls, they are very satisfied. More people rely on the bark and grass roots along the way to satisfy their hunger. Every time they go to a place, the bark and grass roots are the most precious. Finally, under the leadership of Jinhou ~www.readwn.com~, it reached Bingzhou. Now the refugees outside Huguan reminded Xia of the past."

Many generals were silent upon hearing this.

"Most of me are from ordinary people. Jinhou can treat the people like this. What can I wait for? Besides, the military salary will be supplemented in the future. What about two meals a day? In the past, the army used two meals a day. , I didn't see anyone starved to death." A general shouted.

With these generals returning to pacify the soldiers, coupled with Jinhou's promise, it did not cause much shock. Many soldiers even took out their accumulated military salaries and donated them to the prefecture and animal husbandry.

When Lu Bu learned of this incident, he was relieved. As for the salary of the lieutenant soldiers, he would not ask for it. This was the blood of the soldiers on the battlefield. It is also an expedient measure to owe the army salary. After the people are stabilized in the state, the army will be paid.

When many people outside Huguan ate the hot porridge, they couldn't help but shed tears. They came from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, or Sili. Some of them also went to Jizhou to face the soldiers. Driven away, they had no choice but to go to Bingzhou.

I thought it would be the same treatment, after all, there are too many people outside Huguan.

But when the porridge sheds were built outside the pot, they were more grateful besides drooling.

A grizzled old man fell to his knees with a puff, crying.

More and more people feel their hearts and choke. With this bowl of porridge, they have completely identified with Bingzhou in their hearts.

Among the refugees, there are many meticulous works by the princes. They also came to inquire about the state's treatment of refugees. The surrounding scenes also infected them. They could not help but think of their relatives at home. If the same situation happened in other states and counties, What will it be like?
