Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 2 Chapter 148: leisure

The flooding has now come to an end, and the displaced people in various counties have also been allocated with the increase of official land. Although a lot of them have been sucked up by the local gentry, some have fled to Nanyang and Shu during this period. Due to the chaos of the war, Lu Bu's policy was timely and basically settled down.

At least people can survive on this land.

Next, Lu Bu is not going to attack all the officials in the court. They are not a big threat to Lu Bu. The real threat is the local gentry. Many of the court's policies to benefit the people will have problems when they reach the township level. The power of the local gentry Although they are scattered individually, on the whole, they are the ones that most affect people's livelihood.

These local squires are often the lower reaches of the aristocratic clans, and the aristocratic clans obtain the support of these local squires through political asylum, and these local squires get rich by sucking the blood of the villagers.

This is the Guanzhong ecological chain summed up since Lu Bu entered Chang'an.

It is not easy to break this ecological chain, because the imperial court's control of the areas below the county basically relies on these local gentry. If you want to break this ecological chain, it is equivalent to breaking the previous ruling model of the imperial court, and there must be new rules to replace the gentry system , This is also the last step for Lu Bu to hold Guan Zhong in his hands. As long as he succeeds, it will completely break the roots of those aristocratic families.

"Confucianism thinks..." In the Weiwei Office, Li Ru frowned and pondered: "At present, it is not difficult to achieve what the lord said, whether it is to intervene with the army, directly quell it, or find some excuses from the villagers. , but it is difficult to eradicate the squires, the old ones are gone, and new ones will appear, but it is feasible to kill a group of them.”

What is a country gentleman?

Most of the first-generation squires were officials who had resigned and returned to their hometowns. Their positions were different. Although they had resigned, they still had some connections in the court. Therefore, when they returned to their villages, they could quickly grasp some important resources, regardless of the policy interests of the court. Well, in the event of natural or man-made disasters, taking the opportunity to acquire land, they can do it very easily.

The countryside is down to the inside, and the inside is a different kind of ecology, mostly clan system. If the village is still affected and controlled by the county, the ecology there is completely individual, and the court’s laws and regulations are not easy to apply here. .

It was no problem for Lu Bu to fight a group of squires, but the new managers would soon form new squires, and if they were to be completely destroyed, they might have to be slaughtered directly, usually one clan.

Of course, because a large number of people from Luoyang have been relocated from Guanzhong today, many of the newly resettled li have mixed surnames, but after dozens or hundreds of years, these mixed surnames will gradually separate, and eventually one or two large surnames will remain.

Li Ru felt that the squire could beat some of the Guanzhong family, or those who resisted Lv Bu's new tax system, or simply kill them, but it is best not to completely destroy this squire system, because there is no better system to replace it and govern the world. Can't just kill.

"What Wen You said is not bad." After thinking about it carefully, Lu Bu really had no good way to eradicate the country gentry system. If he couldn't, then let these country gentry rely on him.

The big family Lu Bu won't try to win over. These noble families didn't win over. The more you lick your face and try to win over, the more they will think highly of themselves and ignore you.

As long as you have the power, the family will naturally come to vote.

Li Ru was slightly relieved to see that Lu Bu did not insist on taking advantage of the land tax to sweep the gentry. After all, this attack was too broad, and in the process of implementation, it is very likely that some people would take the opportunity to over-enforce the law.

In short, the land tax has now been quelled with the anger of the generals everywhere, and it has become a settlement in Guanzhong. Whether the courtiers are willing or not, it is impossible to restrict Lu Bu in the tax.

The Xiliang nobility began to take root in Guanzhong, and it would also become a thorn in the hearts of these original Guanzhong families. However, according to Li Ru's understanding, at this time, many Guanzhong aristocratic families may have begun to win over the Xiliang nobility, and it is necessary to prevent these two families. Hug together.

But no matter what, after these three months of water control, plague control, and resettlement of refugees, Lu Bu has completely stabilized his position in the Guanzhong. As long as Lu Bu is not assassinated or died suddenly, or he commits his own death, in this Guan, if he wants to It is impossible to shake Lu Bu's position.

Lu Bu suddenly turned his head, looked at Jia Xu who was looking at the file and asked with a smile, "Wenhe has been reading the file for a long time, what can you teach me?"

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard the words, then nodded and said, "My lord, there is one thing that really needs to be prepared."

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu. Usually, Jia Xu seldom said anything, and when he asked, he seldom said it cheerfully. Now he suddenly said it directly, which made Lu Bu a little uncomfortable.

"Although people have been resettled, this year's heavy rain in Guanzhong, not to mention no harvest, but this year's autumn harvest is worrying. Next year and even the year after, even if the weather is good in Guanzhong, there will be a shortage of food. If there is a major disaster, I am afraid it will be another one. Disaster!" Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu and said.

This year, due to the heavy rain in Guanzhong, there were no harvests in many places. Although Lü Bu raided many homes and obtained a large amount of grain, so that Lü Bu had grain to pay for work, but next year and the year after the lack of grain, I am afraid that this grain will not be enough. Cope through difficult times.

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words: "I will order people to build a new granary around Chang'an to store grain. Wen You, do you think that among the princes today, is there anyone willing to sell grain?"

Lu Bu didn't think about asking all places to pay taxes. Now he holds the Son of Heaven, but after the battle at Hulao Pass, the four princes stopped paying tribute to the court. If you want to get food and grass from the princes, you can only buy them.

"Yizhou is a land of abundance. In the past few years, the Central Plains have been chaotic, but Yizhou has not been damaged. You can give it a try." Li Rusi thought.

In this chaotic world, food is hard currency. Among the various forces in the world today, if there is enough food and grass, I am afraid no one can compare to Liu Yan in Yizhou.

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, and Liu Yan counted one.

Jia Xu on the side said with a smile: "Yuan Shao has newly acquired the land of Jizhou, but the lord can promise him the position of general in exchange for Yuan Shao's tribute."

The court made Yuan Shao a great general. As long as Yuan Shao accepted it, he would definitely have to pay tribute, otherwise he would be ignorant. If he refused, it would be better, and God would not accept it. Lu Bu could call on the princes of the world to discuss it together.

Not to mention Gongsun Zan in the north, even Cao Cao, who is attached to Yuan Shao, will probably turn against Yuan Shao. Of course, he may not turn against him. Of course, even if he pays tribute, Yuan Shao will only pay tribute this year. It is wishful thinking to let him pay tribute every year. .

"General?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Bu nodded and said, "Just give him the position of general!"

The general has the right to command the troops and horses of the world. To a certain extent, the power of the general is overlapped with the imperial power. Once this right is given, Yuan Shao will have the autonomy to recruit and train troops and horses.

But the problem is... even if he doesn't give it, now that Yuan Shao's situation, he has to train and transfer troops, the court can't control it, but if this is really sealed, Yuan Shao's prestige will still be improved by a rank.

But the most important thing is... Yuan Shao overtook Yuan Shu in the official position, and now the biggest threat to the imperial court in the Kanto region is Er Yuan. But it occupies Yuzhou, Nanyang, and half of Yangzhou!

Regardless of population or territory, even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao add up, they are barely on par with Yuan Shu!

Based on everyone's understanding of Yuan Shu, this is not a broad-minded person, and he has a deep prejudice against his younger brother. If Yuan Shao has given the position of general to Yuan Shao at this time, Yuan Shao will accept the Chang'an court. The alliance of the Kanto princes that existed in name only was completely disbanded.

After all, you have accepted the appointment, and if you continue to denounce it, you have committed the following crimes. Yuan Shu will probably have a north-south dispute in the future.

On the one hand, Lu Bu could have enough time to restore the people's livelihood in Guanzhong and accumulate strength, and on the other hand, he could also sit and watch the feudal lords of the Central Plains.

I have to say, Jia Xu's move is very good, throwing out a false name as a general can cause chaos in Kanto, whether Yuan Shao accepts it or not is a problem.

Li Ru and Jia Xu were also quite pleased with Lü Bu's courage to send the general out without hesitation, which showed that Lü Bu had enough foresight and was very clear about his position.

Now that the princes of the Central Plains are separated, the chaos here in Chang'an has stopped, and what is needed is a low-key development. It is best not to make too many big moves at this time, otherwise it is easy to reunite the alliance of princes that has gradually split.

The food problem has been solved, and Lu Bu has also sorted it out. Next, Lu Bu should also go to the court to meet the courtiers who have always wanted to see him, but I don’t know if these people are still in the mood to meet him now?

Of course, before that, there are still some trivial matters to deal with, such as marrying Diaochan, which was delayed for nearly a month because of flood control and plague control. In the past few months, he has been traveling around Guanzhong, and it is inevitable that he has neglected his wife and children. This time, taking a concubine is also a major event for the Lu family. On the Lu family side, it is basically handled by the Yan family.

"If the two of you are all right, you must come and drink some." Lu Bu smiled at the two of them as they left.

"Definitely. UU read www.uukanshu.com" Li Ru and Jia Xu stood up. Although taking a concubine was not a big deal, the invitations were basically friends and relatives, and no outsiders were invited. People's attention, this can not be ignored.

Lu Bu returned home all the way. The entire Lu Mansion had been decorated and looked quite festive.

The little white raccoon who has grown up is not afraid of life because of the frequent people coming and going of the Lu family, but when he encounters Lu Bu, he instinctively gives birth to a sense of fear. She just huddled in the corner and watched Lu Bu vigilantly, which made Lu Lingqi quite unhappy.

"This time, Madam is tired!" In the evening, the so-called Xiaobie wins the newly married, plus Lu Bu's amazing physique. As soon as he entered the door, the Yan family was forced to hug Lu Bu, who couldn't wait, to the bed, and the phoenix fell. Afterwards, looking at his feeble wife, Lu Bu felt a little pity.

Yan shi glanced at him angrily, too tired to speak, let Lu Bu play tricks on her, but just leaned her body in her husband's arms, enjoying the man's heartbeat and warmth at this moment...
