Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Beginning in the autumn of the second year of Chuping, the rains began to increase, and an earth dragon turned over in June, which caused turmoil in the whole Guanzhong. Wang Yun raised a batch of food and grass and handed it to Dong Zhuo, but this kind of food was only a temporary solution, not the root cause, and the situation turned around. The food and grass were not enough to support the army and relieve the victims at the same time.

"There is not enough money and food."

I don't know how many times this sentence came out of Dong Zhuo's mouth.

Lu Bu leaned back silently, his eyes fell on Dong Zhuo, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, it was only gray hair, but now it is hard to find a black hair, the whole person looks as if he is ten years older age.

Is Dong Zhuo wrong? Of course there are, but compared to those scholars who are full of food all day long and only know how to talk and protect their own interests, in Lu Bu's eyes, Dong Zhuo is more than ten times stronger than those people.

Lu Bu can probably understand how high-spirited Luoyang was in the past, and how decadent Dong Zhuo is today.

"Does Feng Xian have a good strategy?" Dong Zhuo asked, holding Lu Bu's hand.

Lu Bu looked at Li Ru, obviously Li Ru couldn't give any answer on this matter, as long as he still wanted to follow the rules, he could only ask the scholars, and at that moment, he would be punished by the scholars step by step. Knock the bone and suck the marrow.

"The grand master really wants me to tell you?" Lu Bu did not choose to avoid it like in the past, looked up at Dong Zhuo, and asked seriously.

"Fengxian, but it's okay to say!" Dong Zhuo grabbed Lu Bu's hand as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Kill!" Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "Those who oppose the reform of land tax, kill! Those who violate the government's policies, kill!"

"Fengxian, killing won't solve the problem!" Li Ru persuaded.

"But it can solve the urgent need!" Lu Bu looked at Li Ru and said, "Last month, the earth dragon turned over, and the Guanzhong was in turmoil. In addition, if the people in Heluo who have never been resettled can't provide food and grass to relieve the victims, then the Guanzhong turmoil will be inevitable. Who will suppress it at that time? Even if it is suppressed, how much will the people have left? This Guanzhong family took this opportunity to annex the only remaining cultivated land in the hands of the people, so the imperial court may have no tax to collect next year! You will not understand the truth, but this If the circle cannot be broken, we will never have food!"

When Lu Bu said this, he was very angry. He was also disgusted by the faces of these Guanzhong scholars recently, and all of them said righteousness, but except for Cai Yong and a few others who donated their family assets, there were a few Really take this community to heart?

"Following what Xian said, although it is radical..." Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand to prevent Li Ru from continuing to speak, his bloodshot eyes were full of murderous intent, and said coldly: "However, with the current situation, if there is no ruthless hand to suppress Without these gentry, Guanzhong will be completely chaotic as Feng Xian said."

Li Ru wanted to persuade him, but thinking about the current predicament, maybe it was true as Lu Bu said, these scholars need to be intimidated, so he sighed and did not persuade him any more.

The next day, Dong Zhuo summoned a group of officials to go to the court to discuss the relief of the victims, hoping that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could distribute some of their family wealth to help the people.

"Teacher, the treasury has its own taxes, so it's okay for me to donate some money and food. However, if the court lacks money in the future, it will ask the officials for it. If things go on like this, it will inevitably chill people's hearts." Sikong Zhong Fu came out and frowned.

Li Ru came out, bowed to Liu Xie, and then said in a loud voice: "Sikong's words are wrong. Guanzhong is in turmoil this year, and a large number of refugees are pouring in. It is not easy to collect taxes. If a disaster strikes today, it is precisely the imperial court's relief that is needed. During the time of the common people, you are all virtuous men, how can you bear to see the common people suffer?"

"The calamity from the sky is the warning from the heavens. Maybe there is a monster in the world." In the court hall, a courtier sneered.

Everyone showed that it was Taiwei Zhao Qian, and at this moment, among the three princes, except for Situ Wangyun, the other two did not agree with this matter, and the officials suddenly had a backbone and were ready to follow the two to oppose it.

"Since Sikong and Taiwei have no good strategy to govern the country, should the positions of the three princes be given up to the virtuous?" Dong Zhuo turned his head and looked at Zhong Fu and Zhao Qian.

"The position of the three princes should be decided by the grand master, so it's okay not to do it!" Zhao Qian and Zhong Fu sneered, took off the seal ribbon and threw it on the ground, and walked away.

Both of them are famous people in the world, even though Dong Zhuo was annoyed by what they did, he didn't really want to blame them, he could only watch them leave.

His Highness came out and said loudly: "Under this kind of tyranny, we can't uphold justice, so what's the use of this official who goes against his will?"

Immediately, he also imitated Zhong Fu and Zhao Qian, and directly took off the seal ribbon and prepared to leave in a huff.

"Drag it out, behead it, confiscate its property and put it into the treasury." Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and immediately two wolf-like Xiliang soldiers came in from outside the hall, and dragged the dumbfounded official away.

"Who else thinks that this tyranny will damage your reputation? You can leave now." Dong Zhuo looked around the court, his eyes were cold.

In an instant, the whole court was silent, and no one dared to speak more.

"Wen You, tell me about the rules for donating money and food this time." Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru when he saw that no one was making trouble anymore.

"Here!" Li Ru nodded, took out the bamboo slips that had been prepared and spread them out, and said in a loud voice: "The heavens have brought disasters, and the people of Li are innocent. From today onwards, each family will receive the corresponding money and food according to the land owned by each family to appease the people. The court has recently measured the amount of land in the homes of hundreds of officials, and later people will check with each family, and at the same time hand over the corresponding money and food, I hope you can understand the righteousness and overcome this difficulty with the court."

This collection method is also the land tax collection method discussed before. It is a pavement for the future reform of the land tax. The courtiers are definitely unwilling, but now life and death are at stake. If there is any obstruction, Dong Zhuo is obviously showing signs of turning the table. Under Wang Yun's appeasement, In the end, this matter did not cause trouble, and most officials obediently paid the money and food, and those who were unwilling directly ransacked their homes.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the court hall of Chang'an. When the courtiers and Dong Zhuo's officials stood in the court hall again, it seemed that there was an invisible line separating the two parties. They were obviously ministers in the same hall, but it gave people a sense of separation.

However, with the handing over of this batch of money and food, the situation on Dong Zhuo's side has really eased. In addition, several families were raided, which solved the problem of money and food that had been troubling Dong Zhuo.

However, officials at all levels of disaster relief this time obviously showed an attitude of not working hard. Even if Dong Zhuo killed several batches of officials in charge of disaster relief, it still failed to achieve much effect, but it is better than nothing. As long as the people have something to eat, He would not choose to rebel easily.

However, as the turmoil in Guanzhong gradually subsided, there was an indescribable sense of oppression in the entire city of Chang'an. All the officials basically kept silent, and above the early court, as long as Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo's people did not speak, they would be quiet. Like a pool of stagnant water.

"Now it doesn't make any difference if the court can't keep up." In Lu Bu's government office, Lu Bu was a little speechless about the situation before him, and couldn't help complaining to Jia Xu when there was no one around.

"Although the Grand Master did this to help the disaster, it was a helpless move, but it also broke the rules." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Yeah, broke the rules.

Lv Bu nodded, the disaster relief was barely over, and by beheading a group of officials this time, he got a lot of land and could house a lot of people, but the relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Guanlong gentry was completely torn apart.

Although the Guanlong gentry would not attach themselves to Dong Zhuo even if they didn't tear themselves apart, after this incident, it will be even more difficult for Dong Zhuo to govern.

"However, if there is yin in everything, there must be yang. For the grand master, it is a bad thing, but for the general, this may be an opportunity." Jia Xu laughed.

"How do you say it?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu in surprise.

"I'm afraid the Qiang people are about to rebel." Jia Xu smiled.

"I'm going to fight back..." Lu Bu said halfway, then he realized, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Sir, you are indeed amazing."

According to Lu Bu's previous preparations, the Qiang people will naturally be chaotic, but after all, it is only Lu Bu who sent people to spread rumors secretly. With Lu Bu's manpower and material resources, the process of inciting the incitement will be very slow, but it will be different when the aristocratic family participates. The scope of rumors will be infinitely expanded by them, and more importantly, the aristocratic family will also mobilize their inextricable connections.

"Fortune and misfortune depend on it. Although it can be triggered in advance, the general must be careful. This rebellion will be bigger than we imagined before." Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu and smiled: "Perhaps even the Xiliang gentry will participate. Come in."

Although it will be detonated in advance, so that Lv Bu has the opportunity to seize the military power and get out of the vortex of struggle in Chang'an City, but what Lv Bu is facing is not just the Qiang people who fight and fight, and Lv Bu is very particular about his ability.

"The more the better." Lu Bu sneered when he heard the words. More people may not be useful, especially in the situation where they do not belong to each other. The more there are in a family, the less worried Lu Bu is.

Immediately Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile, "Sir, would you like to go with Bu?"

When Jia Xu heard this, she moved back silently, and bowed to Lu Bu, "Xu is waiting for the general to return in Chang'an."

Although Jia Xu has been by Lu Bu's side all this time, occasionally helping Lu Bu with advice, he has not been loyal to Lu Bu. If he goes out with the army at this time, it is tantamount to being forcibly dragged into the cart by Lu Bu. This is not in line with Jia Xu's character. Lv Bu was probing. Although Jia Xu had changed his view of Lv Bu and felt that Lv Bu had the appearance of a master, he would not entrust his wealth and life to Lv Bu at this time.

Having the appearance of a wise master does not mean that he can become a wise master. During this period, the right time, place and people are needed. Lu Bu will be self-reliant in the future, and he will be inferior to the princes of the Central Plains. Of course, if Lu Bu really stands on his own in Guanzhong, Jia Xu will still choose to be loyal to Lu Bu, the lord is just, and can be changed when necessary.

"It's a pity that I can't listen to my master's teaching!" Lu Bu regretted.

This is actually why Jia Xu doesn't quite approve of Lu Bu. He has to pretend to be sincere even if he pretends to be sincere. Lu Bu said it was a pity, but the expression on his face didn't fluctuate much, giving people a very insincere feeling. For a monarch, such a hard-faced expression is often a loss.

"My lord, someone from Situ's residence is here to invite you." Dian Wei came in and saluted Lu Bu.

"Exactly, let's go." Lu Bu's heart moved when he heard this, wondering if Diao Chan was tempted?
