I turned against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and I went crazy in the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Ji still stood in front of Lu Zhen, but this time he was not as determined as before.

Because the elders of the noble clan had just issued an order: Since they cannot be stopped, let them enter the city.

After all, Lu Zhen even dared to attack Niu Fu's men, so it was not surprising that he led troops to charge into the city.

But Wei Jian felt that Lu Zhen would not attack the city.

This man looks reckless and tough, but in fact he is very careful. He probably would not do anything to storm the city or completely offend the nobles.

Unfortunately, Wei Jian was pulled away.

Pei Chen smiled and said to Lu Zhen:

"Major General, please, wine and food have been prepared in the mansion. Lu

Zhen smiled and rode into the city, and said to Wei Wei:

"Don't worry, I will restrain my subordinates. Anyone who dares to offend the people will be shot without mercy."

Zhao Yun followed closely behind and saluted Wei Jian with clasped fists:

"Don't worry, our major general will keep his word."

"Moreover, our major general has also set up an inspection team to correct mistakes and punish them."

Wei Jian didn't believe it. Don't think that you are persuasive because you are handsome.

Lu Bu's army finally entered the city. From then on, Anyi City belonged to Lu Bu's army, and the first step was taken to establish a foothold in the east of the river.

When they entered the city, there were loud gongs and drums, and the people Welcome along the street. Lu Zhen looked around and found that there were not many refugees and beggars in Anyi City.

This was rare at the end of the dynasty when war and plague were rampant.

However, Lu Zhen still joked:

"Have you driven away all the refugees?"

Wei Jian didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Pei Chen hurriedly replied:

"No, absolutely not"

"Our Anyi City has a very generous attitude towards the refugees. The Wei family first provided food relief to appease the refugees."

"Later, they distributed land and provided guidance on farming, so the refugees were settled. Lu

Zhen asked casually again:

"so smart? How many refugees have you comforted?"

Before Pei Chen could speak, Wei Jian said:

"Matters related to population are the prerogative of the governor of Hedong."

And you, Lu Zhen, are just a warrior who is not recognized by the court. You rely on your father to lead some troops and have no right to interfere.

Pei Chen was worried that Lu Zhen would be angry, so he responded vaguely:

"Not too many, just over 10,000 people. Lu

Zhen sneered and said:

"More than ten thousand? There are nearly a million Baibo bandits in Hedong, and you just appeased more than 10,000 people?!"

I thought such direct ridicule would anger Wei Qian, but I didn't expect that his face was full of shame and he said:

"Wei was ashamed."

Wei Jian was indeed guilty, because the nobles could help more, but they only selected the young and strong, and drove away the old and weak.

Such behavior was not a relief at all, but an opportunity to plunder the population.

Wei Jian couldn't bear it and tried his best to exclude them. Thousands of old and weak people were arranged according to the consensus. This was the limit of his ability.

For this, he felt guilty.

And his good attitude of admitting his mistakes also impressed Lu Zhen.

In fact, Lu Zhen was very clear about the calculations of the nobles at this time. And dirty.

But this Wei Jian is a breath of fresh air among them.

Wei Jian and Wei Bo Jian are worthy of the four words"gentleman's rule"!

……

The banquet was held at the Sheriff's Mansion.

Previously, the prefect of Hedong County was Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he became the Third Duke, but the position of prefect was not given up yet, so the governor's mansion was empty.

The nobles held the banquet at the governor's house, which seemed to be in compliance with the rules, but in fact it was because the nobles did not want to hold the banquet in their own homes.

A banquet at the ancestral home is the highest standard of hospitality.

However, Lu Zhen didn't care about this. He planned to stay in the governor's mansion directly after the banquet was over.

Pei Chen was there to lighten the atmosphere at the banquet, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing, but it wouldn't make them get close.

After everyone introduced each other, they invited us to sing and dance, eat some wine and meat, and then just waited for the banquet to be over.

But Lu Zhen said at the banquet:

"How much official land is there in Anyi City? In addition, how many gardens, gardens, mountains, forests and rivers are there?"

As soon as these words came out, dozens of people in the banquet hall stopped immediately.

The dozen or so generals on Lu Bu's side stared at each other, obviously they didn't understand these matters in the official fields and gardens.

""Official land" mostly refers to arable fields, but gardens, mountains, forests and rivers are also part of the official land. The tax revenue is naturally owned by the government. Now that Lu Jun is stationed in Anyi City, he naturally relies on these for food.

And the nobles such as Wei Jian was very surprised. After all, Lu Zhen asked these profound questions.

But they young nobles didn’t know either.

"We... really don't know……"

Pei Chen was afraid of being left in the cold, so he stood up and said feeling very ashamed.

But before he could finish speaking, Wei Jian spoke:

"There is not much official land under the jurisdiction of Anyi City, only more than 100,000 acres."

"There are more gardens, gardens, mountains, forests and rivers, totaling about 300,000 acres."

One hundred thousand acres of official land is indeed too small, not even as large as the official land in a large county.

It must have been occupied by nobles or became wasteland.

Lu Zhen nodded and asked again:

"Are all these official fields empty? I'm going to recruit people to try growing some crops."

Wei Jian nodded:

"It is not the farming season now, so the official fields are naturally empty, but……"

A look of embarrassment or even guilt flashed across Wei Jian's face, and he added:

"These official lands are now leased to several families for ten years."

Lv Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

What leasing is, it's just a way for the nobles to seize official land!

What if Lu Zhen asked them about the rent?

They would definitely say: The rent is naturally given to the government, but the government has a shortfall and needs to make up for it. There was a hole.

And in order to increase the persuasiveness, they must have prepared a good account book.

There are as many talented people in the gentry as stars, and it is too easy to falsify an account book. Wei Jian looked embarrassed, because the aristocratic families’ behavior of dividing official land made him feel ashamed.

But apart from being ashamed, Wei Jian also hoped that Lu Zhen would pursue the question.

As long as he pursued the investigation, the noble clan would always make some compensation.

Wei Jian was willing to correct his clan's mistakes.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhen did not ask, and he did not even ask about the rent..

Wei Jian looked at him strangely, and saw him drink a glass of wine without changing his expression, and said:

"How much food and grass is available for our army? In other words, how much government granary is there?"

Wei Jian was silent for a moment and then said:

"There are about 150,000 shi."

Pei Chen and others next to them suddenly widened their eyes.

What's going on?

The official granary of Anyi City only has tens of thousands of stones.

This is because the nobles learned that Niu Fujun was coming, and they were afraid that the deficit in the treasury would be too ugly, so they replenished tens of thousands of stones.

But in addition, Where did the 100,000 yuan of food come from? Do you still want to donate more?
