Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Some scattered sounds of fighting could still be vaguely heard in the palace, but these scattered sounds of fighting were meaningless to the overall situation, like leaves under a huge wave, so small that it was difficult to attract the attention of others under the surging momentum.

Huangfusong, who lost one eye, was escorted out by Hua Xiong.

Dong Zhuo once wanted to kill Huangfusong, but because his son Huangfu Jianshou had some friendship with Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo loved him, he finally spared Huangfusong's life.

However, the momentary soft-heartedness at that time resulted in the family being completely wiped out by Huangfu Song, but it was precisely because of this that when Hua Xiong led his troops to surround Huangfu's family this time, no one could plead for him.

Huangfu Jianshou's favor can be applied to Dong Zhuo but not to Hua Xiong, and for Hua Xiong, the only thing that can be remembered is Huangfu Song leading the troops to exterminate the Dong family.

No one knew whether Huangfusong had any regrets when he watched his whole family being slaughtered like Dong's family. There are many grievances and grievances in this world that cannot be sorted out.

The Wang family was also exterminated, at least all members of the Wang family in Chang'an were wiped out.

The sky began to drizzle. Lu Bu led Xu Rong, Wang Fang, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Li Meng into the Weiyang Palace. The process of change did not shed too much blood. Lu Bu hoped to ensure the vitality of the army as much as possible.

The Forbidden Army, Xiliang Army, Qiang Army, and Bingzhou Army are all Lu Bu's trump cards in governing Guanzhong.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu, please see Your Majesty!" Outside the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Lu Bu stood tall and said loudly to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, it's General Lu." Yang Li stayed by Liu Xie's side all the time. Hearing Lu Bu's voice, he didn't show much excitement on his face. Next, the city of Chang'an will change again.

Liu Xie was very frightened, his little face was even a little numb.

When Dong Zhuo was around, he was very afraid of Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was killed, Liu Xie thought that he was free. As the emperor, he could exercise his rights as the emperor. He was excited for several nights at that time.

However, in fact, the power of the court is held by Wang Yun. Although Wang Yun is more polite to him than Dong Zhuo, whenever he and Wang Yun disagree, Wang Yun's attitude will be extremely tough!

I used to be a puppet, but now that Wang Yun is defeated and Lu Bu is here, Liu Xie no longer has any expectations for his future.

"Biography!" Liu Xie, who was only twelve years old, looked up to the outside of the hall with a maturity and calmness that did not belong to this age on his immature face.

"Chuanwei Wei Lu Bu is going to the hall!" Yang Li raised his head, his slightly shrill voice echoed in the hall.

Lv Bu led a group of generals into the main hall, came to the bottom of the jade steps, and bowed to Liu Xie: "I, Lv Bu, see Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing, let's get back down." Liu Xie stretched out his hand to support Lu Bu, motioning for Lu Bu to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Bu stood up, and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, Wang Yun, Huang Fusong and other rebels have already been punished, and now the people in Chang'an City are not stable, so please issue an edict to reward these meritorious soldiers, so as to reassure the army and the people! "

Two months ago, after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he said the same thing. Unexpectedly, two months later, Wang Yun replaced Dong Zhuo's seat. This change of power is really a retribution!

Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu, and suddenly wondered how long Lu Bu would sit in this position?

"Let the general decide everything. I have been feeling cold recently, and the imperial doctor said that I need to rest." Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

Anyway, he couldn't be the master, so he completely delegated power to Lu Bu. Maybe Lu Bu would be like Wang Yun, and he would be rampant when he gained power, but he didn't know where the next stop of power change would be?

"Since your Majesty is ill, let me make a long story short, besides awarding meritorious officers and men, there are two things that need your Majesty's permission!" Lu Bu said solemnly.

"Oh?" Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu curiously: "The general has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Although Lu Bu's words and deeds give people a sense of toughness, but his attitude is still comfortable.

"One, I ask Your Majesty to rehabilitate the grand master. Although the grand master has done something, he has made great contributions to the court. It shouldn't be the fate of the grand master to wipe out the three clans!" Lu Bu said solemnly.

This matter can be regarded as the last thing he can do for Dong Zhuo, after all, the blood of the Dong family has been cut off, and the only thing left is fame.

Liu Xie thought about it, after all, he was dead. Although Dong Zhuo was domineering, but he was able to ascend the throne, in fact, he had to thank Dong Zhuo, but the throne was a bit uncomfortable.

"Alright, I will ask the Taiwei to write an ordinary edict for the Taishi!" Liu Xie nodded and agreed: "But I don't know what the general's second thing is?"

"This matter is a public matter. The land tax mentioned by the grand master when he was alive has been changed in recent days. The minister will ask people to measure the fields in Guanzhong. All private fields that do not belong to the imperial court need to be measured. In the future, the tax will be paid on cultivated land. In addition, the family property of criminal officials like the Huangfu family and the Wang family should be confiscated and placed in a unified manner by the court, and no one can take it privately."

During this period of time, besides preparing to attack Chang'an, the most important thing Lu Bu did was to formulate a new tax law. Dong Zhuo had discussed with the courtiers before, but the result was always pushed back by various reasons.

But in fact, it is not difficult to do it. Now Lu Bu has a 100,000 army in his hand, and the 100,000 army is lined up in the pass. As long as the local gentry dare to stop the land measurement and tax collection, they will be detained immediately, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot.

How can it be possible to innovate the land tax system and satisfy everyone? So this time when Lu Bu wanted to promote the land tax reform, he didn't think about arguing with those courtiers at all. He just nodded and Lu Bu implemented it.

Although Liu Xie was young, Dong Zhuo had been arguing with the Manchu ministers for more than half a year because of this matter, but now Lu Bu did it directly, which made Liu Xie a little worried: "General, should these matters be discussed with the Manchu ministers?" Make a decision after discussion?"

"Your Majesty, many things cannot satisfy everyone, but most people can be satisfied. However, most of the people here do not include the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!" Lu Bu looked at Liu Xie and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Liu Xie became interested, it was the first time he heard such remarks: "Why is this?"

"Eighty percent of the farmland in the world is in the hands of the aristocratic family. Why should tax be collected on a head-by-head basis? Because in this way, they can pay a lot less. The poll tax seems fair, but the aristocratic family has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but only pays a few hundred. Poll tax, the same number of people may only have a few hundred acres of land in their hands, but they have to pay the same tax, does your Majesty think it is fair?"

"No wonder you always say that the tax is low." Liu Xie said anxiously. No one had ever explained the tax issue to him like this.

Originally, he didn't want to talk to Lu Bu more, but at this moment Liu Xie found that although Lu Bu's eyes were scary, it was the easiest to communicate with.

"This reason seems to be very simple, why has no one asked about it before?" Liu Xie asked curiously.

"It's these aristocratic families who set the tax law. As the beneficiaries, why do you say that? If the court is really short of money, they can hand over the property that should belong to the court to the court through donations, and get a good reputation. Your Majesty, why do you think they need to change the tax law?" Lu Bu laughed.

"When the general smiles, it doesn't seem to be as scary as the rumors say." Liu Xie felt a lot more relaxed, and looked at Lu Bu curiously. According to legend, Lu Bu can scare children to cry when he smiles. ...It feels tyrannical, but it is also pretty, not as scary as in the legend.

"It's a rumor, how can you trust it?" Lu Bu laughed. His smile was really scary before.

"I don't know if the general is going to take up any position?" Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Weiwei is enough. I came here this time just to ask for the titles of these hard-working soldiers. As for the ministers, there is no need to seal them again." Lu Bu shook his head and said, for him now, it doesn't matter what official position is, it's almost enough. The military power is in his hands, and then he will take advantage of the opportunity of reforming the land tax to hold the financial power in Guanzhong. In this way, the power of the court will basically come into his pocket.

The brief contact made Liu Xie know and understand Lu Bu a little better, and he didn't feel tired at the moment. He studied with Lu Bu who was suitable for any position and why he took this position.

Lu Bu knew the little emperor's thoughts to some extent, but he didn't expose it. He studied it seriously. They are all for elite soldiers.

In addition, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Duan Yan, and Xu Rong were promoted to generals; Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Wang Fang were promoted to generals of Zhonglang; Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Wang Fang were responsible for the specific garrison of Jingzhao, Fufeng, Feng Yi, and Hongnong.

In addition, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, and Wei Yue were also promoted from Lu Bu's original team, and became official titles of school captains, respectively stationed at important passes such as Wuguan, Tongguan, and Chencang. Although the five were school captains, But he also has a lot of military power.

In short, in this award, Lu Bu tried his best to make a bowl of water level, and the participants had meat to eat, but it was impossible to cover everything.

The monarchs and subjects discussed in Weiyang Palace for half a day, and after finalizing all the rewards, Lu Bu immediately ordered people to start drafting an imperial edict, preparing to distribute it tomorrow at the latest to reassure the army.

As for the land tax, it is actually not difficult. Liu Xie here prepares an edict to hand over to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu can directly proceed to arrange it.

Although Guanzhong is more prosperous than Xiliang, its main source of income is farming, which is why Dong Zhuo was so severely stuck. It is impossible for Lu Bu to have the economic lifeblood in the hands of scholars and threaten him, so he is in Chang'an. The first thing after that is to go to Liu Xie to invite the imperial edict, and then reform the land tax.

As for whether the Chang'an scholars will fight back, that's for sure, but so what? If he can't pass this test, he will fall into the quagmire like Dong Zhuo and cannot extricate himself.

No matter what, take this first step, and the next road will be easy!
