Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 61 Quotas
After the generals left, only Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Xu Si were left in the hall.

Chen Gong clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, the magistrate of Zao County sent a message that the wealthy households in the city responded positively to the donation of food, and many people asked about the specifics of the food donation. "

Hearing this news, Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, remembering the large amount of food and property he was about to get.

"This matter has been done well. In this way, at least part of the food in the army can be solved."

Xu Si suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Lu Bu smiled and nodded, "Dexian, there are no outsiders here, so feel free to speak up if you have something to say."

Xu Si cupped his hands again, and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, I think that for food donations, you shouldn't ask for too much, but you should set a certain amount."

Hearing Xu Si's words, Lu Bu asked with some surprise, "De Xian, shouldn't the more the better, don't we donate too much, don't we want it?"

Xu Si nodded, "Marquis Wen, the reason why some people donate enthusiastically is to get official positions.

If there is no limit on the quantity, there will be a situation, that is, whoever donates more food can become a bigger official. "

Having said this, Xu Si paused for a moment, and smiled wryly, "If these people who donate food have some real talents, it will be a good thing for us.

However, it would not be a good thing for us if the person who donated the most food had no talent or virtue, and his official position was the greatest. "

Hearing this, Chen Gong's heart moved, and he said with a smile, "So, you want them to donate the same amount of food, and then select truly talented people from among them?"

Xu Si cupped his hands again and nodded, "Mr. Gongtai is right, that's what I mean.

These people who can donate food are all wealthy households in the city, and their children are also able to read and write. If we can select real talents from them, they can not only supplement our needs, but also meet their conditions. Wouldn’t it be the best? good? "

The reason why Xu Si had this idea was because he was such a person?

There was some money at home for him to study, and then he found an opportunity to join Lu Bu, and he achieved his current position.

He knows his own situation, and he also knows that there are many children of other families who are in the same situation as him.

These people have talent, they just don't have the opportunity!

If the amount of food donated is based on the amount of food donated, then everyone is not comparing talent, but financial resources. In this case, it may not be easy, or even impossible, to select suitable talents.

Lu Bu didn't speak, but he was thinking about what Xu Si said in his heart.

If the original method is used, more food and money will definitely be harvested, there is no doubt about this.

However, if the method Xu Si mentioned is used to set a donation amount, it will definitely reduce a lot of income.

If you order a quantity, and this quantity will make it affordable for everyone to donate.

Even rich households have different levels, that is to say, the amount set should not be too high, otherwise, many people will not be able to afford to donate.

Calculated in this way, the loss is not just a little bit, but a lot.

Now that there is a shortage of food in the army, Lu Bu is not afraid of too much food, but of too little.

However, there is some truth in what Xu Si said. If you really follow this method, you may really be able to harvest a few talents.

Seeing that Lu Bu was hesitant, Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, what De Xian said makes sense. Although this method will reduce the amount of food and money, it is still worth it in the long run."

"long?"

Lu Bu raised his head to look at Chen Gong, and said with a wry smile, "Gongtai, you should be aware of the lack of food in the army right now."

Chen Gong nodded, "Refugees from all over the world have already started farming. When the harvest comes, the situation will improve. The difficult time is just now. As long as we persist in the past, everything will be fine."

Lu Bu thought for a long time, slapped his palm on the table, and said with a big smile, "Okay, since you all think this proposal is feasible, and the Marquis agrees, let's do this?"

Seeing that Lu Bu agreed, Xu Si was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu was taken aback, "De Xian, why are you thanking me?"

Xu Bang said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, this gift is to thank Marquis Wen for those people who are talented but have no ambition.

I believe that after this selection, many people will surely fulfill their wishes, and Marquis Wen will have more people to assist him. "

Xu Si's words made Lu Bu feel refreshed, and couldn't help laughing.

"Dexian, it's just some trivial matters, nothing to worry about."

Xu Si shook his head with a serious expression, "Wen Hou Dayi, in your eyes, it is a trivial matter, but for some people, it is a lifelong event, it is by no means a trivial matter."

Lu Bu was also a little ashamed of being praised by Xu Si, he hurriedly waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Dexian, stop talking about those things, let's take advantage of the official stage and discuss the matter of the land tax, so that it can be implemented as soon as possible."

"Tian Fu?"

Hearing this sentence, Chen Gong was taken aback, and asked in doubt, "Marquis Wen, is there any problem with Tian Fu?"

Xu Si smiled slightly, "Mr. Gongtai, Marquis Wen wants to reduce taxes for the common people, and wants to discuss with you the specific implementation plan."

"Tax cut?"

Chen Gong was surprised at the time, "Marquis Wen, if the tax is reduced, then we will receive a lot less food, so we must be cautious."

Lu Bu smiled and nodded, "Gongtai, you have to be cautious, that's why I asked you to discuss it!"

Chen Gong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, we have distributed money and cut taxes again, isn't it that we have done too much, and we can't afford it!"

Xu Si hastily handed over his hand, "Mr. Gongtai, you always send money, but the amount of money is really limited, so Wen Hou decided that we will not send money in the future, and directly reduce taxes."

Chen Gong nodded, "Since Marquis Wen wants to reduce taxes, I have nothing to say, but the reduction can't be too much, otherwise the food in the army may not be replenished."

Lu Bu thought of the support value, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Public platform, but it can't be reduced too much, otherwise it won't work."

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Marquis Wen, what's the use?"

Lu Bu knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly shook his head, "Gongtai, if the reduction is less and the common people can't feel it, then what's the use of our tax reduction?

Ben Hou believes that the amount of tax reduction should not be too much, otherwise it will affect the replenishment of food in the army, but it should not be too small. In short, let the people taste the sweetness and know our benefits. This is what I said! "
