Then Lu Bu continued, "But, the land in the hands of the aristocratic family must be handed over, and the servants who are privately saved by the aristocratic family must return them to their freedom."

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhu Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It turns out that what the county magistrate wanted was just the land in the hands of the aristocratic family.

Although the aristocratic families who lost their land were equivalent to losing half of their lives, or even half of their lives.

But at least I can survive.

Lu Bu's request was much better than they expected.

Before Zhu Heng could speak, Lu Bu continued, "And, this county magistrate will not take your land in vain. This county magistrate is willing to buy all the land in your hands at the market price."

What?

Didn’t you want it for nothing? You want to use the market price to buy the land in our hands?

It’s a joke! Even if you want to give money, do we dare to ask for your money?

We are not the Lord who wants to kiss but not live!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heng immediately said: "Mr. County Governor, our Zhu family's land is willing to donate to the County Governor for free, and don't have a penny for the County Governor."

Lu Bu said dissatisfiedly: "Master Zhu, do you think this county magistrate is like a person who takes advantage of the situation? If you say you give money, you will definitely give it. Of course, at present, all the six counties in Jiangdong are in trouble, and you have seen it."

"So for a moment, the county magistrate can't afford that much money to you. Just think that this county magistrate owes you the Zhu family. The county magistrate will write an IOU to you, and within ten years, these debts will be repaid!"

Zhu Heng didn't dare to ask for Lu Bu's money no matter what he said.

In the end, Lu Bu turned his face down, and Zhu Heng reluctantly accepted it.

After saying goodbye, Zhu Heng took the initiative to go to Nanjing Prefecture and offered up all the land of the Zhu family in the afternoon of that day.

Nanjing Prefecture immediately sent officials to measure the land given by Zhu Heng.

And separate the fertile fields and thin fields, clearly mark the price, and estimate the price according to the market price.

When the Lu family and Gu family heard that the Zhu family had given up their land, they couldn't help but secretly scold the Zhu family for being shameless.

Zhu Heng was really not interested enough for such a big thing.

The Lu family and the Gu family did not dare to neglect, so they came to find Lu Bu and expressed their willingness to give up the land they had.

Lu Bu expressed great gratitude for the Lu family and Gu family to be so good.

After working hard for seven days, all the land in the hands of the three major families was recycled.

Then, based on the amount of land in the hands of these three major families, Lu Bu estimated the value and wrote an IOU to the three major families, declaring that he would pay it back within ten years.

Now that Lu Bu is benevolence and righteous, the whole Jiangdong people know about Lu Bu writing an IOU.

This is enough to show that Lu Bu really didn't want the land they were in vain, he was really buying it.

Although they did not really want to sell this deal, at least Lu Bu did not do anything.

Among the six counties in Jiangdong, the most powerful ones are the four major families of Wu County.

Of course, there are four major families in Kuaiji County, which are much smaller in scale than the four major families in Wu County.

The most important thing is that the four major families in Kuaiji County were killed by Lu Bu using Shanyue to use Shanyue to kill people, and dealt with all of these families as early as when Shanyue was in chaos.

As for the remaining small families in the prefectures and counties, they cannot become a climate at all.

Now even the four major families in Wujun have disappeared, and they have surrendered.

Those small families were even more unbearable and they all sacrificed their land.

Of course, even if these small families were treated equally, Lu Bu was given equal value to their land, and liquidated them with cash.

The land in these small families is limited, and it is not too much money. Lu Bu can pay it completely.

...

After losing the land, the scheming Lu Kang felt a profound crisis.

The aristocratic family who lost their land gave him the feeling that they became rootless duckweed.

In the future, the Lu family may have to transform into a commercial family.

Since we want to transform into a commercial family in the future, we have to make plans early.

Isn’t I still holding the IOU from the County Governor in my hand?

This money is a huge sum of money, but it will take ten years to get it.

After these ten years, this money is just a number and is useless.

Therefore, Lu Kang decided to exchange these numbers for some practical benefits.

Therefore, Lu Kang found Lu Bu again and asked if Lu Bu could use the money on the IOU to buy shops in Shanghai and Nanjing.

Lu Kang made it clear that the Lu family was willing to change their plans to act as a commercial family.

Hearing Lu Kang's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but have an idea and came up with a plan.

If the Lu family could be converted into a commercial family, that would be a great thing.

After a modern journey, Lu Bu deeply realized that in order to develop the economy, developing business is the top priority.

If you want to develop business, a large number of businessmen need to join in and a large amount of money is needed.

At present, there are two commercial families, the Zhen family and the Lu family, in the six counties in Jiangdong.

But there are only two businesses, and the number is a little smaller.

And letting these two companies dominate is not a good thing.

But now, if the Gu family, Lu family and Zhu family all turn to business families, then Jiangdong's business can develop rapidly in a very short time and have a qualitative leap.

So Lu Bu happily agreed to Lu Kang's request. Not only did he write a big pen, he approved the Lu family to two commercial streets in Shanghai County and Nanjing City, and specially approved the Lu family to do business such as wood, copper paint, and ships.

After obtaining Lu Bu's license, Lu Kang couldn't help but feel energetic.

With these businesses, although the regret of losing land still cannot be made up for, at least the Lu family has found a foothold.

Lu Bu quickly released the news.

When Gu Yong and Zhu Heng heard this news, they couldn't help but secretly called Lu Kang a despicable and shameless person.

At this moment, the two couldn't wait to find Lu Bu, and Yanming was willing to use the IOU in their hands to exchange for commercial benefits.

Lu Bu agreed to the request of the two companies very happily. Not only that, he also tirelessly taught the two companies what business they could do, how to do business, etc.

In this way, Lu Bu no longer owes the Gu family, Lu family and Zhu family, and they are not debt-free.

The Gu family, Lu family and Zhu family have found the direction of business development of their respective families and set clear development goals for the future development of the family.

In this way, it can be said that we have achieved a win-win situation and everyone is happy.

In order to protect business development and allow business to grow rapidly in the six counties of Jiangdong, Lu Bu issued several laws to protect business.

The first thing is to improve the status of a businessman.

In ancient China, the status of merchants was always focused on agriculture and neglected business, and the status of merchants was very low.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are at the end.

However, in the six counties of Jiangdong, Lu Bu passed laws to elevate merchants to the same status as farmers and workers.

Secondly, Lu Bu set the commercial tax rate at 20 taxes.

This tax rate is not low, but it is definitely not high.

The most important thing is that after merchants only need to pay commercial taxes, they no longer need to pay other messy taxes.
