"What decision do I want to make?" Liu Bei asked with an ugly face.

Obviously, he did not forget what Lin Chen said before.

However, Liu Bei's mind is now very active and can easily think of things thousands of miles away.

And these abilities seem to be what he gradually began to possess.

It seems that it was obtained little by little with Lin Chen's prompt.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's gaze at Lin Chen became softer.

Yes, there are still traitors such as Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Yuan Shao in the world, but Liu Bei still has his own support.

As long as Lin Chen is still helping him, he can handle it perfectly no matter what.

"Would you like to buy a batch of grain?"

Perhaps he had become accustomed to Liu Bei's gaze, so Lin Chen didn't feel anything at all. He smiled and said, "To be more strictly speaking, it is to purchase a batch of grain from the aristocratic families and wealthy families!"

"How to collect it?"

Liu Bei suddenly became energetic.

He actually wanted to do this a long time ago.

But the problem is that the aristocratic families and wealthy families regard food as heavier than gold and silver...

This is actually true. After all, in this troubled world, with food, there is almost everything.

What land, population, slaves, soldiers...

As long as you have food in your hands, can’t these things be obtained in minutes?

It was precisely because Liu Bei knew that even though he knew that the noble family had a lot of food in his hands, he didn't know how to move it.

You can't just grab it, right?

If you really do this, I guess anyone in the world who called him the Holy Lord before would call him the Tyrant next.

Judging from the current situation in the world, those people have great potential for rebellion.

In other words, if he is forced to collect, he will force some people to rebel.

Therefore, this matter has been stuck so hard.

From time to time, Liu Bei would ask Jia Xu and others what good ideas were, but those people did not provide any good suggestions.

Jia Xu was ruthless and proposed some terrifying but effective methods.

However, Liu Bei refuted it.

He didn't want to use that method, otherwise what else would he call Liu Bei?

This is because Liu Bei knew very well what he was relying on to get to where he came to this day.

It's not the destiny of heaven.

But his benevolence and his idealism gradually absorbed Lin Chen and others.

Without this, can he still attract similar talents?

Of course it is impossible!

Of course, Liu Bei still didn't think about this clearly for the time being, but he was so innate, so he had no intention of agreeing to Jia Xu.

But now, Lin Chen has proposed a solution, and of course he is looking forward to it.

Because he is very sure that Lin Chen is the same person as him, both are idealists, and he is definitely unwilling to have too many oppositions under his command.

Otherwise, many people will be displaced.

This is something that Jia Xu would not think about, but Liu Bei believed that Lin Chen would definitely think about it.

Because he will think about it himself.

Lin Ziyuan he admires will naturally think of this.

“Actually, the method is very simple.”

"As long as your Majesty can issue another edict."

"The edict is written, Your Majesty allows them to do something, such as what the aristocratic family wanted to do before, but His Majesty absolutely could not allow them to do."

Sure enough, Lin Chen bypassed Jia Xu's sinister method and proposed another method of ease.

However, although Lin Chen said so, Liu Bei was still full of questions: "What's that?"

"Read the land!"

Lin Chen excitedly raised a finger and said, "As long as these aristocratic families are allowed to open up land on their own, they are absolutely willing to pay a portion of the food."

"Of course, if they don't want to, they won't give them the right to open up the land."

Yes.

It was only before that Lin Chen suddenly realized that the power of land reclamation was issued by the emperor these days.

Although many aristocratic families will do it secretly, such as turning some wastelands into fertile land quietly, and then secretly farming them.

But during this period, they will definitely not report to the court.

It’s not that I’m unwilling to pay taxes, but in fact, it’s only how much grain tax is paid?

If they could get the royal approval, they would rather pay these food taxes.

The problem is that the royal family would not agree to them.

This point began in the Liu Xiu period.

To be precise, it was implemented together after Liu Xi proposed the field system.

Since then, the aristocratic families have no right to open up farmland, and they even have to distribute their land to the people.

To save, to save oneself, to succeed oneself, to succeed oneself.

Simply put, the field system is to investigate how many fields the aristocratic families have hidden under the iron fist of imperial power.

Immediately afterwards, part of these fields was taken back and handed over to the poor people.

Yes, even though it was already late in the Han Dynasty, this is still being done even now.

Especially in the area of ​​Zhuya County (Hainan), it can be said that it is in full swing now.

This was also documented in later generations, but Lin Chen was a poor student at that time, so he did not study much about it.

It was not until he came back to read the newspaper that he was extremely strange to discover that the land system in Zhuya County had just been staged.

Liu Xiu has been dead for nearly two hundred years...

This speed is simply no one else.

After discovering this, Lin Chen also discovered the rules that aristocratic families could not reclaim wasteland at will.

This rule can be said to be the clear rules of the past and the unspoken rules of the present.

After all, the emperor has changed.

Whether many rules should be followed or not is unsure of the aristocratic families, but as long as they do as before, there will definitely be no problem.

Many people think so.

So, this rule was preserved.

"If this is the case, wouldn't the speed of the aristocratic family grow faster?"

But after hearing Lin Chen's words, Liu Bei frowned.

Yes, Liu Bei knew this... Nonsense, he is not a strategist like Lin Chen, at least it depends on what the emperor had done before.

After all, now he has begun to secretly brew new Hanluo.

Just like Shu Ke in history, it also started secretly after he became emperor.

Before doing it, he prepared for a lot of time.

This is the wisdom of being a superior.

He will not hand over this right at will, at least he will not hand over this right before he has a clear heart.

Therefore, Liu Bei knew about the rule that no land should be opened in advance.

But he didn't want to let go of this.

Liu Bei started step by step from the bottom. He knew very well what those aristocratic families looked like.

Now, they may give some money and food to the court, but as soon as they go back, these guys will undergo a sudden change.

By then, they will not only not pay taxes, but will also let the people in the country pay taxes on their behalf.

So as soon as this is opened, it means that the aristocratic families are growing, but the people are not good, and there are only temporary benefits to the emperor...
