Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

What kind of national policy should I make?

Lu Bu was suddenly a little confused. Although Lu Bu was the emperor when he was in Daqian, most of his actions at that time were imitating the ancient monarchs and some ideas from his father Lu Boyong. Even if the country was running well, it was just a copy of the big man.

But now Lu Bu has gone through several complete lives, has been the emperor once, has experienced two completely different eras, and at the same time has experience in the Han Dynasty.

With the increase in knowledge and experience, Lu Bu also began to discover many shortcomings when he was the emperor last time. He wanted to build a perfect country based on his experience in these lifetimes.

First of all, one must understand that if the land of Zhongzhou is used alone, no matter how fertile and rich it is, there is a limit, just like cultivated land, there is only so much, and the wealth that farming can bring is limited.

So the use of industry and commerce may be a way to grab it.

Just like the rebels in the south, relying on maritime trade, they have accumulated a wealth that can compete with the imperial court, and this is also a hidden danger. If the merchants do not restrict it, they will form a force that can compete with the imperial court.

Therefore, in Lu Bu's New Deal, the importance of merchants was first clarified, but they were also strictly restricted. For example, the taxation of merchants was the highest. Lu Bu did not compromise, this is only the most basic and necessary, if you dare to oppose it, you will fight with your life!

Then the number of guards for merchants is also strictly limited. No matter what method is used, as long as the strength of the merchant's guards exceeds the limit, the family will be ransacked and destroyed!

Finally, merchants are not allowed to hoard goods in a monopoly manner, drive up prices, and once discovered, the family will be ransacked and exterminated.

This is the shackles that Lu Bu put on merchants, but there are also incentive policies. If you are bullied overseas, you can directly report to the court. Where the king's flag is caused, but if you offend, you will be punished even if it is far away, compared to the cost of going deep into the desert. With more manpower and material resources, with a clear route, the consumption of the naval attack will be much less.

In addition, on the premise of not violating the laws of the imperial court, merchants will also receive certain preferential treatment. For example, some things specially provided by the imperial court can be allowed to enjoy by merchants.

This is Lu Bu's first contact with the marine economy, so while encouraging and restricting, he is also testing step by step. He wants to see if these are applicable to the big man.

The other is to encourage craftsmen. I hope that craftsmen can make faster and larger ships suitable for sailing and bows and crossbows suitable for combat on board.

In terms of people's livelihood, Lu Bu was relatively lenient to the people. After the troubled times, there needs to be great rule. In this case, the court only needs to maintain the most basic needs, lightly pay taxes and let the people develop on their own.

Under Lu Bu's policy, the land of Zhongzhou recovered its vitality at an extremely fast speed. However, in just ten years, Zhongzhou has already had a lot of things and people, and there is no longer the scene of a thousand wastes waiting to be rebuilt.

At the same time, Lu Bu has not relaxed his vigilance against the Manchu Dynasty in the past ten years. He has been actively preparing for the Manchu Dynasty. The sixty-five-year-old Lu Bu is still healthy and healthy. If he died unfortunately, the prince would directly succeed him as the throne.

This time, although Lu Bu knew that it was impossible to completely wipe out the Manchu Dynasty, he still made enough preparations, and the Manchu Dynasty had recovered some vitality over the years, fought with Lu Bu in the frontier fortress, and was finally defeated by Lu Bu. Eastern Han attacked Mobei, and there were corpses strewn all over the field. Lu Bu, in his old age, entered the court of the Manchu Dynasty three times and beheaded the emperor of the Manchu Dynasty.

It wasn't until the fourth emperor led the remnants of the Manchu dynasty thousands of miles away in Mobei that Lv Bu's logistics were really difficult to provide, so Lv Bu returned with his troops. He was sixty-five when he went, but he was already seventy years old when he returned.

Not long after the Manchu surrender form was delivered, although Lu Bu was not angry, he had emptied most of Zhongzhou's accumulation in the past ten years, and it was indeed not suitable to continue to pursue it, so he could only let it go temporarily.

After returning, he received the sad news that Jiu'er died of illness. Lu Bu felt a little numb for a while. Jiu'er had a good life in this life and didn't suffer much. However, Lu Bu either fought or ruled the world all the year round. The time between him and his wife and children was not long. I didn't even see my wife for the last time.

He lived in front of Jiu'er's tomb for three months. Three months later, Lu Bu came out and passed the throne to the prince, but he did not go back to hiding. He wanted to see how big the world was. Guangyao, Liu Kaida, Xie Rensong and other old subordinates left by boat and traveled around overseas countries.

He has wandered overseas for thirty years, seeing his old subordinates leave one by one, and he is still traveling around. He wanted to enjoy the magnificence of the world all the way until he died, but unexpectedly, he drifted back after thirty years. , he remembered that he was heading west all the way, why did he float back from the west?

The world is not flat, but round?

Lu Bu was taken aback by his guess, but without any evidence, he had no choice but to give up.

But in Zhongzhou at this time, the prince he set up has passed away, and now the grandson of Lu Bu is succeeding him. He has not returned to the court. He has seen too many things of father and son fighting for rights in the past 30 years, and human nature is being benefited He was well aware of how insane it would become when the threats involved.

He just traveled around the world and spread some western views that he thought were good among the people. Perhaps because of Lu Bu, the three generations of emperors in Zhongzhou were extremely enlightened in their attitudes towards the people.

But when he arrived at Sun Tzu's place, Lu Bu was keenly aware that no matter whether in the court or in the local area, a family-like power had formed again, and this time, the greatest power was in the south rather than the north.

Because of the sea transportation, the speed of accumulating wealth in the south is far faster than that in the north, which still relies mainly on farming, and the accumulation of wealth is imperceptibly improving various conditions in the south.

For example, educational resources. During his visits over the years, Lu Bu found that the number of officials selected by the imperial court in the south is several times higher than that in the north. Lu Bu personally visited the south and compared the differences between the north and the south. Only then did he discover that a large number of private establishments began to appear in the south. school.

He spared no expense to invite famous scholars and great Confucian scholars to teach knowledge. Although there are academies in the north, they are basically those that existed when Lu Bu was in power. He has been away for so many years, and the number of academies in the north has basically not increased, while academies in the south have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain with the development of sea trade. generally appear continuously.

The economic gap between the North and the South gradually began to develop in all aspects of humanities and quality. However, the imperial court did not seem to have discovered the threat hidden under it, and even began to suppress talents from the south, causing the conflict between the North and the South to intensify.

The south holds economic resources, while the north focuses on power. The future generations cannot guide them well. Instead, they start to prevent the southern students from seizing power by suppressing and blocking the promotion channels of the southern students!

Lu Bu did leave a warning to put an end to the integration of businessmen and power, but in this situation, what the court should do is not to compromise, but to increase the development of the northern advantages, and at the same time make some restrictions. For example, if a merchant family wants to be an official, You need to give up your industry and move north. In short, if you want to become an official, you have to give up the interests and wealth of businessmen.

In short, it's time for a change, but the court has not done anything for a long time. If this continues, there will be problems!

Lu Bu wrote several letters to the imperial court. In his era, people from all over the world were allowed to participate in the government. Of course, these memorials written by the common people would be reviewed, otherwise Lu Bu would be exhausted to read them alone.

But when my letter was sent up, it was like a stone sinking into the sea!

The imperial court did not see the seriousness of the problem. Instead, after realizing that the south was gradually getting out of control, it began to block the country's gates and opened the sea ban!

In this way, many people in the south would be cut off from their sources of income. If the imperial court did not have strict control over the military power in various places, this alone might lead to a war between the North and the South!

And then, the imperial court began a series of corruption investigations, and a large number of officials were sacked, ranging from official positions to life!

Although this method was a bit cruel, Lu Bu supported it. Obviously, the court also found that new gentry forces were beginning to take shape, and through the investigation of corruption, these newly formed gentry forces were actually abolished again.

And this backlash lasted for five years. Most of the officials in the court changed three batches before it ended. It wasn't that the court wanted to end it, but that Lu Bu's grandson... died.

Although this grandson doesn't have much talent, he is quite diligent and does everything by himself. The great-grandson is a bit unfamiliar to Lu Bu, but although his great-grandson is young, he has a good way of taking over power .

Just when Lu Bu was relieved, a large number of islanders began to invade the South China Sea.

What Lu Bu was worried about finally happened. Because of the sea ban, many wealthy families in the south secretly colluded with outsiders and began to sell their property by the sea.

But these outsiders are not kind people. After learning about the court's sea ban attitude and knowing that these people cannot go to sea, they not only greedy for property, but did not give money, and even plundered along the coast.

There are also some southerners whose families have been ruined because of the imperial government's order, and they simply go to sea and gather a group of fishermen overseas or sea people from other countries to join them as bandits.

Lu Bu didn't want to care about these things at first, but looking at the crimes committed by those islanders along the coast, he had been to that island country when he was traveling, and he wished he could turn into a dog when he met his humble self, but now he is facing these people in his original form Bi Lu is extremely ferocious, even worse than the Manchus back then.

In the end, Lu Bu couldn't hold back his anger, and gathered a group of people to cross the sea and kill the opponent's main island. In the past five years, killing people on the island country was the second best thing, but he burned all the technical records and all kinds of talents. Including shipbuilding, farming, etc., it has been regressed for ten years or even hundreds of years. Although this is only a temporary solution, as long as the sea ban is not lifted in Zhongzhou, problems will still occur sooner or later, but this kind of thing...Let's leave it to future generations to solve, he Already old, so old that after returning to Zhongzhou, leaving only a treatise on the prosperity of the country to future generations, he passed away at the age of one hundred and thirty-six...
