Chapter 65 Village
Hearing Chen Gong's question, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, feeling amused in his heart, if it wasn't for supporting values, who would do those stupid things!

It's just that these words must not be said to Chen Gong, but he couldn't think of what to say for a while, so he could only speak slowly.

"Gongtai, if we don't save them, they will starve to death!"

Standing aside, Xu Si's face was moved, and he hurriedly cupped his hands, "Wenhou Dayi, if the refugees in the world hear Wenhou's words, they will definitely be moved to tears and swear their allegiance to the death."

When Chen Gong heard the last four words, he immediately understood in his heart, and cupped his hands, "I will definitely help Marquis Wen fulfill his wish."

In the next few days, officials at all levels in Fan County immediately mobilized and began to implement Lu Bu's order.

Reduction of land tax, recruitment of soldiers, admission of refugees, construction of city walls, acceptance of donations, preparation for expedition...  

So many things were issued at the same time, and the entire county government started to run at full speed like a huge machine.

Although the officials at all levels were busy hitting the back of their heads with their feet, Lu Bu, who issued the order, seemed to be okay, still obsessed with how much support he could increase every day.

……

In the backyard of the county government office, Lu Bu drank the last sip of tea soup from the tea bowl, put down the cup, and stood up.

"Zhang Hu, prepare your horse, let's go out of the city."

Seeing that Zhang Hu was about to leave, Lu Bu said again, "Bring your bow and arrows, and bring more arrows."

Zhang Hu, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly responded, and when Lu Bu went out, he had already been waiting outside the door with Chituma on his lead.

Lu Bu jumped on his horse, led dozens of guards, and walked along the street. He left Fan County amidst the smiling greetings from the common people.

Zhang Hu stepped forward, cupped his hands and asked, "Marquis Wen, where are we going?"

Lu Bu looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then asked in a low voice, "Zhang Hu, is there any prey around here?"

Zhang Hu understood immediately, and asked with a smile, "Marquis Wen wants to hunt!"

Lu Bu coughed lightly and put on a straight face, "Say it soon."

Now everyone is working overtime, Lu Bu doesn't want others to see him go hunting with nothing to do.

Just when he appeared on the stage just now, he saw Gao Shun leading a group of soldiers to patrol the city, Song Xian and others were carrying supplies on the city wall, Hou Cheng might have done it himself, with his arms bare, yelling there.

And when Xu Si came to report to work every day, he could see that his dark circles were getting heavier and heavier, and even bags under his eyes appeared.

Zhang Hu thought for a while, "There is a small mountain more than ten miles away. There should be prey there?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu, who had been idle for a long time, waved his hand immediately, "Let's go now."

A group of people rode war horses and rushed towards the hill.

The hill Zhang Hu mentioned was really not that big. If you were serious about it, it was just a big hill, without even a big tree, only some low bushes, covering the ground with loess.

Everyone searched around the mountain, but they didn't even find a single prey, so they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In fact, Lu Bu didn't know that this place was not far from Fan County. The refugees had already come to this small hill. If there were prey, they would either be eaten or scared away. Where would they find the prey?
Lu Bu led the crowd down the mountain with some disappointment, feeling a little thirsty, and saw a small village not far ahead.

"Let's go, let's go to the village and ask for some water."

Zhang Hu hurriedly responded, and led two guards, and took the lead in galloping towards the village.

The village is not big, only dozens of households, scattered on both sides of a main road.

Lu Bu led the crowd along the main road and ran towards the village.

Chituma walked inwards along the path in the village. As soon as he reached the middle of the village, Zhang Hu had already walked out of a family with two guards carrying water.

Behind him, there was an old man with gray hair who looked excitedly in the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

Zhang Hu stepped forward, "Marquis Wen, the water is here."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Hu saw Lu Bu looking at the bowl in his hand, his face suddenly turned into ecstasy, and after a while, he was already laughing up to the sky.

"Haha, that's great!"

Zhang Hu scratched his head in bewilderment, isn't it just a bowl of water, is it worth being so happy?
What he didn't know was that when Lu Bu came to the middle of the village, a prompting voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host, occupying Zhang Village and gaining 100 support points."

Lu Bu took the water bowl in Zhang Hu's hand and drank it all in one gulp. Thinking that if he wasn't thirsty, he might not be able to get this benefit, he couldn't help laughing again.

"Good water, really good water, haha!"

The old man at the side saw that Lu Bu finished drinking the water, and asked carefully, "Excuse me, the general who drank the water, but is it Marquis Wen?"

Li Gu snorted coldly, "Don't make noise, it makes Marquis Wen unhappy, so I'm asking you."

Lu Bu was ecstatic at this moment, seeing that the old man in front of him had contributed support points again, he immediately postponed it, and glared at Li Gu fiercely.

"Old man, it is this Marquis, what a bother today...!"

Before Lu Bu finished speaking, the old man's muddy eyes suddenly lit up, he turned around and shouted behind him, "Come out, it's really Marquis Wen."

Just when Lu Bu didn't know what was going on, all kinds of people ran out from various dilapidated houses.

There are gray-haired old men, shy women, and innocent children...

There was even an old man who staggered and walked out with the help of a young man.

Zhang Hu and the others were startled, and hastily drew out their sabers, surrounded Lu Bu, and roared.

"What are you going to do?"

But I never thought that after the people walked out of the house, they came not far away and knelt down on the ground one after another.

"Don't get me wrong, we just want to see Marquis Wen's face, and say hello to Marquis Wen to express our gratitude."

The old man staggered, his eyes were moist, and he choked up and said, "The little old man has lived such an old age, and he has seen many officials, but this is the first time the little old man has seen the official who reduced the land tax for our people." .”

After hearing these words, Lu Bu understood the intentions of these people, and waved his hands for everyone, "You are welcome, old man, the days will get better and better in the future."

The old man knelt on the ground and cupped his hands vigorously, "Marquis Wen, it is really a blessing for the people of Yanzhou that you can come to Yanzhou. The little old man hopes that Marquis Wen will never leave and stay here for generations to take care of us poor people. Please agree .”

When the people nearby heard the old man's words, they also said loudly.

"Marquis Wen, you are the best person in the world, so stay in Yanzhou, we support you."

"Marquis Wen, just promise us."

Looking at the simple faces of these common people, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little ashamed.
