Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Announcement Shakes the City

These words caused great trouble among the people. Supervising officials was something that they never dared to think about before. None of these officials did not act as a mighty person in front of them, and the officials protected each other, so no one would really make the decision for the people.

The people of Luoyang had an unconscious sense of trust in Lu Bu. Many people found that after Lu Bu's words, Liang Hu, who was still a little terrifying just now, became less terrifying.

Liang Hu's face looked a little ugly. Although Lu Bu did not name it, he naturally saw the meaning and became a little angry with Lu Bu.

After reminding the officials present, Lu Bu took people to the west of the city.

In his mind, the planning was already done. The people living in the west of the city were all living in the city. They were built according to unified standards, and dilapidated houses were demolished. The road could accommodate two carriages and there were markets on both sides of the road.

The south of the city is a market, and the suppliers do business here, and the road standard can accommodate three carriages.

Two barracks were built in the north and south of the city. Once there was something wrong in the city, they could provide quick rescue and build craft workshops in the north of the city. The weapons and armor of the Bingzhou Army were produced from here, and there were troops guarding them around, so they were not afraid of a scoundrel.

The city and the east of the city are the areas where officials live. There are two roads running through the east, west, south and north from the provincial and local gates, which can accommodate six carriages passing at the same time.

The city wall was built according to the standards of six zhang high and five zhang thick, with defensive fortifications such as arrow towers built on it, and the school was built not far from the provincial and ministerial palace.

Even Li Su was stunned when he saw this big move. If it was built according to Lu Bu’s idea, there would be earth-shaking changes in the city. Even the important cities in the Central Plains were not as good as those of them. But would the aristocratic families in the city make Lu Bu feel good?

At first, the people were a little unbelieving in the state and the people's mansion, but when they could eat hot food every day and get the wages they had earned, more and more people went to the state and mansion to register, and the state and mansion had a higher and higher status in the hearts of the people.

Once, an old man told the patrol soldiers that he had not received wages, and the news came that the responsible officials were in jail that day. This completely overturned the people's understanding of the provincial and ministerial palace. The people are very simple. As long as they can have a bowl of rice, they will support you. Moreover, the government has made the decision for them, and invisibly, Lu Bu's prestige among the people has increased again.

Lu Bu received the title of sincere service among the people. He didn't know what he would feel after he knew it.=

Among ordinary people, you may not know who the officials were in the past. If you talk about Lu Bu and you do not know, it will make other people despise them.

Not only the west of the city, but also the east of the city, the houses are rising from the ground. Although the weather is cold, it cannot stop the passion of the people to work. Here, few people think about being lazy, especially after the people in Luoyang live in new houses, the indigenous residents in the city are no longer so resistant to the orders of the provincial governor's office, and many even agree to demolition.

Who doesn’t want a new house? It’s just that the people did not trust the state and the governor’s office in the past, so they resisted a little.

It really costs money like flowing water. One quarter of the gold, silver and jewelry that robbed Dong Zhuo of the world had already spent. However, the construction of the city still requires more money. I hope that other counties would have enough money every year, and Jinyang City would not be built in ten years.

However, there are quite a few people who owe him money. For example, if the people from Luoyang don’t have the money to buy a house, they need to write down the so-called IOU, press the handprint, and pay some money every year to move in. The demolished people can get a house for free. Such a good thing will be in vain. Anyway, they think the government will definitely suffer a loss.

What they didn't know was that in this way, the shops along the street were basically in the hands of the provincial and ministerial palace. Once these places became prosperous and the provincial and ministerial palace rented out the house, it would be a lot of money.

The people in the city were happy and excited, but the aristocratic families were a little reluctant. Although the provincial and ministerial palace had not reached their hands to them, their industries scattered in the city were still greatly impacted.

The people lived in one place, and the shops that were originally scattered among the people were also controlled by the provincial and ministerial palaces. The people would definitely not seek to buy things from afar, which invisibly caused huge losses to the industries of the aristocratic families.

There are many officials in the provincial and ministerial palace. After inquiring about it, these stores were not for sale, but came up with a new method to "rend". The rent is also different according to the location. The provincial and ministerial palace is preparing to collect taxes on merchants.

The aristocratic family was a little panicked, and these were their vital interests.

Lu Bu didn't think about these things. He thought that he had worked hard to re-plan the city, so he naturally needed to compensate him. The commercial streets scattered in residential areas were treasure pots for recycling costs. Jinyang was the capital of Bingzhou Prefecture. With the people who moved to Luoyang, the number of people reached 300,000. The profits brought by the huge population base would be huge.

It would be fine if the aristocratic family was honest, otherwise Lu Bu would let them see his skills.

"Don't you, Zhao, the provincial and ministerial office has already made a statement. All the places in the city need to be renovated. The houses they said were not good. Bei Zhi received a notice yesterday, saying that they would be demolished in three days and the compensation will be distributed uniformly by the provincial and ministerial office." Liang Hu said worriedly.

"What do you think of Lu Bu's intention? Many of the Li family's stores are about to go bankrupt, but Lu Bu takes the opportunity to make a fortune. When Ding Yuan was in Bingzhou, he was very respectful to our aristocratic family. When the army went to war, the aristocratic family produced a lot of food and grass."

"My Liang family had a close relationship with Governor Ding, but he didn't expect his adopted son to humiliate me in front of the provincial governor's mansion." Liang Hu snorted coldly.

"Don't you, Zhao, think of a way. If this continues, our aristocratic family will be unlucky. You didn't see that since Lu Bu took over Bingzhou, he ignored us at all." said Li Fu, the captain of the city gate.

Zhao Yan stroked the gray beard on his chin, glanced at everyone, and saw that the scene had become quiet, he said slowly: "Lu Bu is a martial artist. It must be Li Su's plan to prevent us from using the people of the aristocratic families in the city. All the military power in the city is in the hands of Lu Bu, so you should not do anything."

"But as long as our aristocratic family unites, Li Su will not bow his head." A cold light flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes. "Heng'er, let's talk about this person, Lu Bu."

Zhao Heng nodded, "Lu Bu cannot see through this person, his behavior is quite strange, his words are not biased towards us, but he is very concerned about the people."

"It's just a brave man." Li Cheng, the commander of the commander, snorted coldly. Lu Bu was in charge of Bingzhou and held the military power in his hands. He, as the commander, had no soldiers under his command, and was of name but no real name. He was naturally angry at Lu Bu.
