After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Yes, Zitai, if the fifth brother really doesn't do it, I have no choice but to send someone to send him back. His family is also a large clan in Hanoi, and I dare not mess with their family easily."

Tian Chou said: "Lord, Boda is indeed very good at internal affairs, and his ability is really strong."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Zi Tai, Boda is good at internal affairs, but it is also very pedantic. This may be a common problem for scholars today. We need to learn Confucianism and inherit it, but we also need to learn selectively. Some Confucian things are indeed no longer suitable for the needs of social development, especially for the suppression of skilled craftsmen. It is completely nonsense. They also call technological progress as strange and lewd skills. You must stay away from it. Do you think we can leave? Everything we use is not made by craftsmen. The waterwheels developed by Ma Jun have played a great role in the agricultural life we ​​have under our control and increased the yield of grain.

The various weapons and armors of our army have improved the equipment of our army, greatly improving the individual combat capabilities of soldiers; through our technological transformation of smelting iron, the performance of the iron we produce has not changed greatly, and these are not the result of the hard work of craftsmen. The current development of our Bingzhou, which is inseparable from the hard work of craftsmen, is that they can achieve such achievements in a short period of time. However, they are inseparable from the hard work of craftsmen. Due to their hard work, the labor and commerce in our jurisdiction have been developed unprecedentedly, and businessmen from other states and counties have gathered in Bingzhou, which has also greatly improved our state's tax revenue."

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "My lord is right. Our Bingzhou has also improved the status of merchants and craftsmen under the lord's insistence, so that all the craftsmen in the world can come to our jurisdiction and inject vitality into the production within our jurisdiction. We can achieve such achievements in less than a year of taking over the entire Bingzhou area, which is inseparable from the lord's policies and policies. I heard from Boda that the tax revenue in the whole state of the state may reach more than 2 billion yuan this year."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and said, "Zi Tai, what's more than 2 billion yuan? I want our tax revenue to exceed the 5 billion mark next year and reach 50 billion in five years. This is our goal and our responsibility."

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "Lord, this is not a reality. The Han Dynasty only has more than 20 billion in taxes. How can we achieve it in a poor state? Even in a wealthy place like Jizhou, Xuzhou, Sizhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, it cannot achieve it."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zitai, we will definitely do it. After we accept Hedong next year, and then Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Shuofang, we can place a large number of disaster victims and refugees. As long as there are people, everything is easy to do. As long as we have the right policies and effective measures, we can increase the population in our jurisdiction, what will happen?"

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "Lord, the population is not a big problem. Now other prefectures and counties do not resettle victims or refugees. Many people are pouring into our jurisdiction. I am worried that we will need to spend a lot of money and food to resettle victims. Are we really worth it? I heard from Boda that by the end of this year, the population in the jurisdiction may exceed 2 million. If Hedong, Pingyang and other places are taken next year, there will be a population of 200,000 to 300,000. In addition to the influx of disaster victims and refugees, it is estimated that our total population will reach more than 3 million by the end of next year. Now our fiscal and tax revenue is basically used to resettle victims and refugees, and the military expenditure is obtained by conquest."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Zi Tai, although we have a lot of money to resettle disaster victims and refugees, once the people are resettled, they will have a lot of food every year. We can purchase a large amount of grain from the people for storage. Of course, the purchase price must be reasonable and we must not let the people suffer losses. At the same time, the cotton, jute, hemp and other crops produced by the people provide a large amount of raw materials for factories in our jurisdiction, which will also promote the development of industry and the activity of commerce. This is a good deal. In this way, if we want food and food, money and money, what are we afraid of? We will arm an army with well-equipped equipment, and no one dares to underestimate us at that time. Moreover, once we are strong, we can also sell weapons and armor. The north is controlled by us. If we want to buy war horses in other places, we can also sell them at a high price. As long as we have money, what are we afraid of?"

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "Lord, we sell weapons, armor, and war horses. That's not good. Wouldn't that make others stronger than us? What should we do when they are armed before they will attack us?"

Lu Ning said: "Don't worry, Zitai, we only sell eliminated war horses, poor-performance war horses, and covered the mares. Of course, good war horses cannot be sold. The same is true for weapons and armor. Our army can be produced and sold after being eliminated. Of course, our army's equipment cannot be sold now, because the things we produce are excellent, others will definitely like them. We can't make a big profit."

Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "Lord, what methods should we take to completely solve the Xianbei Tartars and the Xiongnu Tartars? Even if we don't go to cause trouble for them, they will probably come to cause trouble for us."

Lu Ning sighed and said, "Zi Tai, it is not easy to completely eliminate the Xianbei Tartars and the Xiongnu Tartars. On the one hand, our current strength is limited. The key is that once the Xianbei Tartars escape to western Liaoning, Liaodong, and Xiongnu Tartars escape to the Western Regions and other places, we have no choice but to do anything about them. Our army cannot run to those places to attack the Tartars. That is not our territory. The local officials there will not let our army enter. Moreover, in those places, our army's supplies will be troublesome. If we want to completely solve the Tartar problem, the key is whether we can control those places, otherwise it will be empty talk. You also know that Gongsun Zan from Youbeiping

How could Gongsun Du from Liaodong, Dong Zhuo from Yongzhou, Ma Teng from Liangzhou and others let our army go? It is not easy to get Hedong, Beidi, Dai County, Shanggu from the emperor, and it is impossible for us to think more. The emperor is now trying to weaken our army. He does not want our army to be so powerful, but the emperor does not expect that our army will only become stronger and stronger. If this continues, the emperor will definitely transfer our army to other places to fight. He will find a way to let me leave Bingzhou and leave the base, but the emperor has no chance anymore."

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "Why is this, lord?"
