Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 50 Competing for profit

"Anyone recommending himself?" In Lu Bu's office, after listening to his subordinate's report and looking at the greeting card handed over by the other party, Lu Bu said, "They are all famous people, tsk~ Wenhe, what do you think?"

Jia Xu, who has been working hard to reduce his sense of existence and wants to dawdle as if he was under Niu Fu's command, was quite helpless when he heard that Lu Bu was not Niu Fu, needless to say his abilities, his vision and political sense were far from being as dull as Niu Fu's, the most important thing was The most important thing is to have self-knowledge, obviously at this moment they are suspicious of these celebrities who suddenly came to vote.

"The general already has the answer in his heart, so why bother to ask the officer?" Jia Xu bowed slightly, feeling quite helpless about Lu Bu's harassment from time to time. Come on, as for whether to take him in or not, I dare not speak in vain."

"Sir, just say what you want. Bu will not offend others, let alone Mr. Lu Bu." Lu Bu said calmly.

Jia Xu had no choice but to think for a while and said, "May I ask the general what his ambition is?"

"Why did you say that?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu in confusion.

Jia Xu thought about it for a while, looked at Lu Bu seriously and said: "If the general has the heart to stand on his own feet, he thinks he should accept it, even if these people are not sincere, he can still share some miscellaneous things for the general, but the most important thing is that the general can Use these people to speculate on the plans of the people behind them, and then use them.”

Lu Bu's face was calm, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations. Seeing Jia Xu stop, he just said indifferently: "Continue."

"If the general doesn't have the will to stand on his own feet, it's best for these people to stay." Seeing that Lu Bu's expression remained unchanged, Jia Xu continued: "Nowadays, the game in the court is getting more and more intense, and the general is in the middle of the game, so there is no way to avoid it. Keeping it by your side is also for the convenience of joining hands with others when needed."

As for who to join forces with, it depends on Lu Bu's ambition.

Lu Bu nodded, stroked his palms and said, "Bu Mosai was enlightened by Mr.'s words. It is indeed Bu's luck to have Mr. Wu."

Jia Xu smiled and nodded. If Lu Bu could have a smile on his face when he said this, Jia Xu would not believe it, but it would be easier to accept it. It's hard to believe the truth of this statement.

Since someone came to vote, there is no reason for Lu Bu not to accept it. He, the general of Zhendong, also has a lot of things to do, the most important thing is the dispatch of military rations, handovers, etc., Gao Shun Dong Zhuo's quota for Lu Bu It was 5,000 people, which was also a sign that Dong Zhuo began to fully trust Lu Bu. Although he didn't give anyone, the food and salary were distributed according to the standard of 5,000 people, which meant that Lu Bu could really recruit 5,000 people.

This is not a small number. If it reaches this level, Lu Bu has a manpower outside Chang'an that is enough to affect a war.

Coupled with the fact that the Zhong Qiang clan can recruit soldiers and horses at any time, in fact, Lu Bu has the ability to pull out an army of ten thousand people just here.

But what troubles Lu Bu now is not the number of troops, but money and food. Without money and food, no matter how many troops are in the water, but in today's Guanzhong, the only way to get stable money and food is from scholars. It is wishful thinking for the people who don’t have any to pay taxes. This problem has always troubled Dong Zhuo. Now it is very difficult to barely supply the Xiliang army and other miscellaneous armies (including Lu Bu’s).

Li Jue, Niu Fu, and Guo Si are often sent to the Yingchuan area to plunder, not because they want to do so, but because they need to use this method to solve their urgent needs. Lu Bu wants his own stable and long-term supply of money and food. It is very difficult to obtain, like Li Jue and Guo Si who ran out to plunder, firstly, their reputation must be bad, and secondly, this method is only an emergency, and it cannot be used as long-term property. It is a normal choice to wait for you to plunder and move if you cannot survive.

Therefore, Lu Bu's top priority now is not to fight for power but to make profits. In addition to the land tax, there are actually many other interests that can be planned in this pass, such as Zong Bu. This business has always been in the hands of the Zhu family. Zhongmou was fighting against the imperial court, and Lu Bu was now thinking about Zhu Jun's silk cloth industry.

The big man is relatively scattered, but in Dagan, weaving and sericulture are all on a large scale, and the silk produced is more exquisite. In the next period of time, when others are fighting for power, Lu Bu recruits skilled craftsmen in Manguan. In addition, with Dong Zhuo's influence, he frantically cracked down on the Zhu family's business, and took the Zhu family's business and those silkworm households into his own hands.

The most dignified military general in the world, he doesn't want to fight on the battlefield, but he is studying silkworm farming and weaving. Half of those who defected here were arranged by Lu Bu to be responsible for robbing business and calculating gains and losses. machine as well as make better silk.

This operation is really confusing.

"Fengxian...why is this so?" Dong Zhuo asked, stroking his beard and looking at Li Ru. Now Lv Bu is Dong Zhuo's right-hand man, especially after Lv Bu killed Yang Zan beautifully, Dong Zhuo became less wary of Lv Bu and was thinking about what to do. As for planting, Lu Bu went to study silkworm rearing and weaving, which really made people puzzled.

"Fengxian probably also noticed that there is no money in the court. Father-in-law should not underestimate the silk business. Zhu Jun is from a poor family. In the past, he used the name of light money and righteousness to win the favor of Yangzhou county officials at that time. All the way he took this business into his own family. , if there is no such thing, how can Zhu Jun despise money and favor righteousness?" Li Ru laughed.

What Zhu Junqing went out was wealth, and what he brought back was not only fame but also huge profits. Zhu's family started in Kuaiji, but the real wealth came from using the power of the Huangfu family in Guanzhong to transport the silk cloth from the south to the north, opening up Guanzhong, The market in Luoyang, this is the key to the Zhu family quickly leaving the humble family and becoming a noble family.

But now that Zhu Jun openly opposes Dong Zhuo, it is not impossible to transfer the Zhu family's business that has been run for more than ten years to Lu Bu.

And most importantly, Lu Bu's move also pointed out a clear way for Dong Zhuo. If the land tax is not allowed to be changed, then it will be fine for us to grasp all kinds of livelihoods in this pass, right?

Of course, things will definitely not be so smooth, just like Lu Bu is now making more and more troubles with the commotion, and more and more people are grabbing business. Lu Bu borrowed the power of the court or Dong Zhuo, but in fact, the local There is no local tycoon nodding, this business is not easy to do, so Lu Bu can only control Chang'an and a few surrounding cities at present.

But who told Lu Bu to be a fool? After patrolling with Zhang Liao and seven hundred cavalry, all the silk business in the Jingzhao area belonged to Lv Bu. What Dong Zhuo could not do, Lv Bu did not leave any room for it.

"Sometimes, Gu really envies Feng Xian, who can do whatever he wants like this." Hearing what Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Who wouldn't want to live such an unscrupulous life, but it's a pity that the status has reached a certain level, and some rules have to be followed. The overall situation, otherwise there will be chaos in the world if no one does things for you.

Li Ru didn't answer, and Dong Zhuo's words were more about complaints and dissatisfaction with the current troubles, but here Li Ru couldn't think of too many strategies that would benefit Dong Zhuo besides following Lu Bu's example of grabbing business with aristocratic families. .

The matter of the land tax has not been settled for a long time. If you use force, you can kill one or two, but it is of no use. Most of the official positions in the court are in the hands of the aristocratic family. , only these people can be used, and only these people can be used, so they can only compromise.

"Don't worry about Fengxian's prestige in advance. The prestige of letting him kill these people also tells them not to be too presumptuous. It's because there is no way to deal with them." Dong Zhuo finally snorted coldly. Several things are comforting.

"Here!" Li Ru bowed and agreed.

On the other side, in Situ's mansion, Wang Yun was also having a headache about Lu Bu's affairs.

"Mr. Situ, the Zhu family came to cry again. The Jingzhao area also has the most Zenbu transactions. Now Lu Bu takes the Jingzhao Zenbu transaction in his own hands and forces the Zhu family to trade at a low price, and then sell it at a high price in Chang'an. If things go on like this, Zhu's family will be destroyed, and Gongwei will hold back Dong's bandits in Zhongmou for our important affairs, and fight Dong's bandits vigorously, if he comes back someday and the family's wealth is gone, wouldn't it be chilling?" Huang Wan went to Wang Yun again to talk about this matter, Lu Bu has gone too far, but they have nothing to do with Lu Bu, a bastard.

Dong Zhuo at least reasoned with them, but Lü Bu didn't at all, but those who dared to obstruct them would directly lead soldiers to the door. Although Zhu Jun came from a poor family, but after so many years in the court, he had gradually been accepted by the scholars and squeezed into the Among the scholars, at the moment when the Zhu Jun family's livelihood was taken away by Lu Bu, they could only watch helplessly, and it was quite uncomfortable.

"This Lv Bu is somewhat insightful, but this method is extremely vulgar and unreasonable." Wang Yun sighed, those under Lv Bu have already reported this matter, but what can he do? The people who I sent to join Lu Bu did all the dirty work and offending others, but the key ones who collected money and paid the craftsmen were Lu Bu's real cronies. Not only did they not get anything useful from Lu Bu The information, on the contrary, provoked a whole body of resentment.

It's not that no one has persuaded Lv Bu, even without Wang Yun's instruction, they knew what to do, but Lv Bu is obviously not so easy to persuade, basically just let people do things, how to make decisions is self-willed, and does not listen to others ,It is really……

"Let's appease Mrs. Zhu first, I will arrange this matter." Rubbing his temples, it seems that Lu Bu needs to plan ahead.

"I hope Mr. Situ will come up with a countermeasure soon, otherwise I don't know how to face Gongwei when he returns to court." Huang Wan smiled wryly.

Wang Yun nodded, got up and sent Huang Wan away, but couldn't think of how to solve the matter for a while.

Just when I was worried, when I came to the back garden, I saw a woman sitting leaning on the bluestone by the pond from a distance. Although she was only dressed as a maidservant, she could be recognized in the crowd at a glance. This is a woman. An astonishingly beautiful woman.

Wang Yun had a thought, hesitated for a moment, walked forward slowly, saw the woman looking at herself, and woke her up with a light cough.

"Father?" Seeing that it was Wang Yun, the woman hurriedly bowed down.
