Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

  Chapter 175 Chain of Interests

   "My lord, let the end general stay in Xiliang?" Ma Teng looked at Lu Bu in surprise. From the moment he surrendered to Lu Bu, he was ready to give up Xiliang completely.

"Yes, General Ma has been operating here for many years. No one knows how to govern better than General Ma. If General Ma stays here, I can feel more at ease." Lu Bu nodded affirmatively. Of course, except for Ma Teng, Lu Bu, the family of the Ma family, is to be taken away. Unconditional loyalty does not exist, but this condition is not necessarily coercion by the family, but holding the family in the hands is undoubtedly the easiest and most effective one.

"In addition, Wen Yuan will stay and guard together, and General Ma can also teach him." Lv Bu pointed to Zhang Liaodao, who was Lu Bu's only confidant other than Gao Shun. It is also the meaning of Lu Bu to go down to the entire four counties in Hexi.

"With General Wenyuan here, the last general will be more relieved." Ma Teng nodded at Zhang Liao. Ma Teng had seen Zhang Liao's ability. He fought against Zhang Liao from Yuzhong, and later seized Yuyin. , Zhang Liao's military talent and ability are rare in the world.

   After discussing some details, Ma Teng said goodbye.

"Wenyuan, although the four Xihe counties are remote, connecting the Silk Road is very important to us, and we can't find other suitable people right now. I can only rest assured if you sit here temporarily, so during this time Wen Yuan has worked so hard to guard this place for me." After Ma Teng left, Lv Bu took Zhang Liao out to relax and stayed in the office all day, feeling a little bored.

   "Don't say that, lord, you will understand what your lord is thinking." Zhang Liao nodded.

"Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye seem to be exhausted, but these three counties are the gateway to the Western Regions for my Han Dynasty, and they are also the starting point of the Silk Road. The countries in the Western Regions must pass through here, so take them down!" Lv Bu Looking at Zhang Liaodao.

   "Here!" Zhang Liao nodded knowingly.

   As for the four counties in Hexi, Zhang Liao also heard Lv Bu talk a few times, this will be one of Lv Bu's future fortune paths, and it is a very important one, which is why Lv Bu will put Zhang Liao here.

  The two chatted for a while about how to manage the four counties. Zhang Liao suddenly smiled and said: "Master knows, then Wang Ling asked the last general to talk to the master, and wanted to ask the master to accept his younger sister."

   "Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao with some surprise: "How could Wen Yuan take care of these things?"

"It's not that the last will take care of this, but the last general also thinks that the lord should take a concubine." Zhang Liao hesitated, and said to Lu Bu: "The master does not want to say more about the family affairs, but Xiliang is now in the master. In the bag, the lord already has a foundation, and this Longxi noble family is willing to accept the lord and serve the lord, which is a good thing, but there is one thing, if it can't be solved, it may cause people's hearts to be unstable."

Lu Bu was silent. He knew what Zhang Liao was talking about. If Lu Bu had no heir, no matter how powerful he was, the people inside would be unstable, just like Dong Zhuo today. Although he was powerful, there were many hidden dangers. People have joined forces to boycott, and they have been unable to break the game, and there are actually many factions inside.

Although Lu Bu had a daughter, it was obvious that the daughter could not inherit Lu Bu's foundation. After the Yan family gave birth to Lingqi, she could no longer bear children. It used to be fine, and Lu Bu had no foundation, but now it is different. The things in Lv Bu's bag already have some foundations. At this time, if Lv Bu does not have an heir, there will be many problems in the future. This is also the reason why Zhang Liao accepted Wang Ling's entrustment and said things.

"Wang Ling?" Lu Bu thought of the heroic girl in Shouyang City that day, called Wang Yi, that girl had a good impression on him, and Lu Bu naturally felt it, but after Wang Ling's performance, Lu Bu didn't like it. After thinking about this again, I suddenly asked Zhang Liao to talk about it, which made Lu Bu a little puzzled: "Isn't he unwilling?"

"It is said that after his sister and the lord met, she longed for it day and night, and did not think about tea or rice. When Wang Ling returned, seeing her appearance, he was struggling as the boss, and finally decided to ask the last to say something, and he wanted to accept it. His sister." Zhang Liao explained with a smile.

   Just met one time and don’t think about it?

  Lü Bu was a little unbelievable. He groped for his face and looked at Zhang Liao, who was beside him. Could it be that the life simulator can also change his face, making him more handsome without realizing it?

"Since ancient times, beautiful women have matched heroes. The lord rescued her in times of crisis, and it is not difficult to understand that she will long for the lord. Besides, the woman is also at the age of Huaichun. When encountering such a lord, it is inevitable that he will not be moved." Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu. Like this, he smiled.

   "How old are you, what kind of hero?" Lu Bu shook his head and smiled.

   How old are you?

  Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu suspiciously, and then suddenly realized that in terms of age, Lu Bu was indeed much older than that Wang Yi, and smiled: "Master, don't worry, given the age of the master, it is not too much to marry the daughter of the Wang family."

"After all, this is a family affair. I will write a letter to discuss it with your sister-in-law." Lu Bu nodded. In fact, if you want to take a concubine, it doesn't matter if you don't discuss it with Yan's. However, Lu Bu is worried about Yan's sadness. He has always avoided mentioning similar things around her so as not to make her feel unhappy, but as Zhang Liao said, it is very important to Lu Bu to have an heir or not.

Zhang Liao nodded. He knew about the relationship between Lu Bu and the Yan family, but based on Zhang Liao's understanding of the Yan family, she would not stop this kind of thing, so it was a routine thing for Lu Bu to write a letter to ask about it. .

   "Also, although the Wang family is a poor family, they are still scholars. Are you really willing to let her sister come to me as a concubine?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"It's hard to say about this last general, but the lord is now the lord of the party. Although he is the lord's concubine, he will also be his wife in the future. Besides, Wang Ling has already spoken, so why bother with the lord?" Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment. laughed.

  Lü Bu nodded and said no more, this matter was indeed urgently needed for him at the moment. After saying goodbye to Zhang Liao, he wrote a letter and sent it to Xinfeng.

In the days that followed, Lv Bu began to sort out the business practices of the Western Regions. According to Ma Teng, the most purchased items in the Western Regions were porcelain and silk, but not to mention porcelain, silk is something that ordinary people do not use even in the Central Plains. In many cases, silk and even most of the cloth can be used directly as coins, so it is not surprising that silk is popular in the Western Regions.

What really makes people embarrassed is that there is not enough silk. According to Ma Teng, there are many Hu merchants from the Western Regions who come to buy silk every year, but the amount of silk they can get here is not much, even Han Sui. Therefore, the price of silk was sold to Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and the value of the goods in exchange was more than ten times that in the Central Plains.

A silk can be exchanged for two horses or three cows. It is very suitable for Lu Bu to take charge of this road now. Jingzhao’s cloth is in his hands. Lu Bu is going to invite some porcelain-burning craftsmen from all over the country to come to Xiliang. , so that the porcelain can also be sold here at a good price, this way of making money is mastered by oneself, and at the same time Tianshui and Longxi families will also undertake some business, Lu Bu can let go of these businesses and hand them over to these families, but the profit from it Lu Bu will take half.

  These things, naturally, he can't talk to the young people under his own who have just joined, and their hearts are full of longing for achievements and careers. He directly called the masters of each family.

   Interests can be decentralized. This is the first profit that Lu Bu brings to these families who follow him, and it is long-term.

  50% is naturally very high. Although everyone is excited, they are a little dissatisfied with this cut, especially when Lu Bu does nothing and just sits and enjoys it. This is really unacceptable.

"I know why you are worried, and think that 50% of Buona is too much?" Lv Bu looked at the expressions of everyone, knew what they were thinking, and shook his head: "But you have thought about why these Western Hu merchants didn't look for them in the past. everyone?"

This……

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in dismay. This was naturally because Han Sui never thought of cooperating with them. After all, the Longxi and Tianshui clans were small families in the Central Plains. They might have left the poor family, but they were definitely not big families. I don't like them. Thinking about it clearly, Lu Bu seems to be able to accept such a high commission, but it is only a little.

"In addition, Bu is also going to take the lead in forming a caravan from each family. If we can pull our goods to those countries in the Western Regions to sell, will the profit be more profitable? Bu here is your backing. If you are accepted in the Western Regions. What kind of grievance, even though I am a big Han iron cavalry, I will be punished! Ten coins pay one tax and one hundred coins pay fifty coins. If you still choose to pay the former, then Bu has nothing to say, but in the future the Western Regions The matter has nothing to do with you." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he looked at everyone: "What do you think?"

"Don't be angry, Junhou, I didn't mean that. All the children of our clan are under Junhou's account, and we naturally support Junhou." Jiang Yuan hurriedly pleaded guilty, Lu Bu is real Bringing them a fortune, if Lu Bu really does not care about it and finds others to cooperate, it will not be easy for these Longxi gentry to find such a force that is willing to cooperate with them~www.NovelMTL.com~ This time to pacify Xiliang, everyone It is indeed a great achievement, but please understand that if there are no rules, the Xiliang will not be stable in the future. Besides, you don’t want to be only a nobleman in Xiliang all the time, right? "Lu Bu looked at the crowd and smiled.

   What does this mean?

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't say a word. Lu Bu was definitely going to fight Xiliang in the future, but when they looked at the world, they could only be regarded as the last. It's not an accident, the most important thing is that, looking at Lu Bu's performance during this period, he definitely has the knowledge of the master.

   "The Zhao family, I am willing to obey the arrangements of the princes!"

   As the head of the Zhao family stood up to express his position, other families, faster or slower, all stood up and saluted Lv Bu, expressing their willingness to accept Lv Bu's method of taking a cut.

This is also the reason why Lü Bu avoided those famous scholars and scholars, and chose to come to Xiliang first to subdue these Xiliang nobles. Their needs are easier to meet and easier to control. When Lü Bu can really bring them enough and long-term benefits, these families will Naturally, they would choose to bet on Lu Bu. With the support of these families, those who joined Lu Bu's command, such as Zhao Ang, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, and others who were called Lu Bu, would be more authentic and reliable.
