Three Kingdoms: Starting from Inheriting Dong Zhuo's Foundation

On this day, Dong Luo just had a little free time, so he came back early to practice swordsmanship with Lu Qiling.

Since Lu Qiling was hit last time, she has spent more time practicing martial arts every day.

In the past, Dong Luo was able to be caught practicing swords with her, and she would definitely be entangled, but today, halfway through the practice, she voluntarily stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Dong Luo handed over the sword, and the two guards, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, came over immediately.

One took the wooden sword from Dong Luo's hand, and the other held a towel to wipe Dong Luo's sweat.

No sweat though.

On the other hand, Lu Qiling was soaked all over.

Only then did Dong Luo realize that the girl had grown a bit.

Moreover, he has practiced martial arts all the year round, with a slender body and a valiant appearance. Among the weak and beauties in Dong Luo's backyard, he has a different charm.

Lu Qiling came over.

"Xiangguo, Sister Zhen Mi seems to have something on her mind, you should go and have a look.

Dong Luo heard the words, "What's wrong with her?"

Besides, if something happens, I was in her quilt the night before, why didn't I tell you? 11

But what Lu Qiling said must have happened.

Reaching out and rubbing Lu Qiling's head, Dong Luo said, "I'll go take a look."

"Well, Xiangguo, don't forget to accompany me to practice sword for a while tomorrow. 35

Instead of impatiently trying to avoid Dong Luo's hand as before, Lu Qiling stood up obediently and let Dong Luo rub her head.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow when I'm free."

After Dong Luo finished speaking, he walked towards Zhen Mi's place.

After Dong Luo left, Lu Qiling reached out and touched her head, where Dong Luo just touched her head.

After hee hee laughed, he continued to practice with the sword.

Dong Luo came to Zhen Mi's place.

When he came in, he happened to see Zhen Mi holding her forehead in her hand, looking a little sad.

"what happened?

"Ah, Xiangguo, why are you here?"

Zhen Mi was startled and quickly got up to greet him.

Dong Luo walked over, picked up Zhen Ji, and sat down in her original position, looking at the things on the case, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Why, your Zhen family is in financial crisis?"

The Zhen family, a big family in Jizhou, moved most of them to Chang'an and contributed a lot of property and food to Dong Luo.

Zhen Ji wrapped her wrist around Dong Luo's neck, exhaling like a blue orchid, and was very pleased with Dong Luo's concern.

"It's nothing, it's just friction with some noble families, and I lost a little money.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

But knowing that Zhen Mi is standing behind Dong Luo, and there are people who don't have eyes like this, it's not quite right.

Seeing that Zhen Mi didn't want to talk much, Dong Luo was ready to do it.

Zhen Mi exclaimed, "Xiangguo, it's not dark yet!

"So what! 99

After a long time, Dong Luo sat up straight. Let Zhen Mi help him get dressed.

"Let's talk about it now, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter to make Ben Xiangguo's beloved concubine such a headache."

Zhen Mi's face was still crimson, and she glanced at Dong Luo with some resentment.

The door outside was not closed just now!

After helping him get dressed, I tidied up myself.

"It's also because the concubine is a member of the prime minister's country. In the eyes of some people who have a Han family, the Zhen family is the Damn it. 99

"Oh? That's not surprising, those people are always a bit stubborn. Dong Luo sneered again and again.

Maybe, I can cut a crop again.

Seeing the expression on Dong Luo's face, Zhen Mi knew that Dong Luo might want to take the opportunity to raid his house again.

"Xiangguo, do you know the Geng family of Fufeng Maoling?'35

Dong Luo nodded, "I know, one of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals under the command of Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, is in the same lineage. 55

This is an old-fashioned family that has been in Fufeng for nearly two hundred years.

Now it seems that there is still a Geng Ji serving as a servant in the court, and he has always been relatively neutral.

Hmm... Dong Luo suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Thinking about it, in the Three Kingdoms, this guy joined other people to start a rebellion and wanted to kill Cao Cao.

Zhen Ji sighed, and said what she wanted to say, it would be good to give Xiangguo a warning.

"If the Zhen family moved to Chang'an, they must also do business. Otherwise, how could the concubine have the money to give you to Xiangguo?"

Speaking of this, Zhen Mi raised her head and glanced at Dong Luo quietly, seeing that he was indifferent, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

"But when the Zhen family's caravan went to Fufeng, they were kicked out by the Geng family. They also arrested a few members of the Zhen family. My eldest brother went to negotiate with them and was also detained."

"On the surface, the people of the Zhen family harassed the common women under the protection of the Geng family, but the fundamental reason is that they want to dominate Fufeng and refuse to let our caravan do business there, let alone open shops. 99

After hearing this, Dong Luo slapped the table, "How dare you! Fufeng County belongs to the Prime Minister's country, where is their Geng family!"

Zhen Mi nodded, "Of course, but this is a private confrontation between aristocratic families. On the surface, they don't care too much about taxes, but..."

"but what?"

Zhen Ji didn't say it directly, but asked Dong Luo seriously.

"Xiangguo, do you think there are many servants in the aristocratic family? There are also hidden households.

Dong Luo's eyes narrowed for a moment.

How much!

Simply a lot!

The previous Wang Yun could gather more than 10,000 private soldiers overnight.

As for hidden households, this is also a big trouble.

If there are more hidden households, wouldn't the taxation of the prime minister be less?

Zhen Ji continued: "My eldest brother said that when he went to the Geng family, he saw at least 5,000 private soldiers and many hidden households in the Geng family."

Dong Luo listened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to caress Zhen Mi's pure white throat.

"What about your Zhen family?"

Zhen Mi was startled, "Our Zhen family has no private soldiers. The total number of people in Chang'an does not exceed 150, and there are no hidden households in Jizhou."

"That's good. 35

Dong Luo took Zhen Mi into his arms 997.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now that I think about it, I realize that the problem is quite serious.

Not to mention anything else, just say that when they fought against Ma Teng and Han Sui, the governors of Anding County, Jiang Xu and Jiang Xian, directly led more than ten thousand troops out to stop Han Sui.

After that, Anding County supplemented the documents and updated the number of soldiers in the county.

Before that, there were only four thousand soldiers in Anding County.

"Jiang's family is also a stable surname, if you don't cooperate, even if Jiang Wei will come out of your family in the future, the Prime Minister will never forgive him.

"Xiangguo, what Jiang Wei?" Zhen Mi looked at Dong Luo strangely.

"It's okay." Dong Luo stood up, "Go take a bath, Ben Xiangguo is resting with you today.

"Here!" Zhen Mi was overjoyed when she heard the words.

Dong Luo then walked to the study.

After Zhen Mi's reminder today, Dong Luo decided to do something big.

Measure the land and count the population!

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu also did it before, but in the end it was an anticlimactic.

But the Prime Minister did not start out with a strong family alone.

The generals under his command are hardly any powerful families.

Those who dare not cooperate or resist, all speak to them with a butcher's knife.

Just look at whether their necks are hard, or the butcher's knife of the Prime Minister is hard.

The common people are the foundation of the Prime Minister's country, and it is okay to inherit poetry and calligraphy like the Xun family of Yingchuan.

But annexing land and concealing the power of the population is not.
