Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 189 Seeking Talents

In the fourth year of Chuping, just after the New Year's Eve, the imperial edict sent to the counties caused another disturbance in this restless world.

"Since ancient times, Zhongxing and the king who has been ordered have never tasted that wise men and gentlemen ruled the world together..."

There are more than a hundred words in the Order of Seeking Virtue, but Xun Yu's forehead was in a cold sweat after reading it over and over again.

Cao Cao stared at the imperial court's order for seeking talents, and was stunned. This order for seeking talents coincided with some ideas in his mind, and even Lu Bu's order for seeking talents was even more extreme. You are talented, don't ask about your background, your morals are not stable, those who think they are highly respected or have a high family background, please don't come, I don't have time to care about you, don't let me see you!

Such an order of seeking talents, should it be said that it really came from Lu Bu's handwriting?

Seeing the merit order in his hand, Cao Cao didn't know how to comment for a while, turned his head to look at his advisers and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I don't know what it means!" Chen Gong snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully: "My lord, don't worry, I think that Lu Bu should also know that he has no virtue, even if he is looking for someone with both virtue and ability, he will not be able to ask for it!"

Xun Yu sighed when he heard the words: "There are talented people in this world who have no virtue. In the past, they were not accepted by the orthodox because of their virtue. Now that Lu Bu has issued this order to recruit talents, there must be a group of talented people who agree with them. These heretical people Being by Lu Bu's side is not a blessing in the world!"

Speaking of which, Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's former counselor, was by Lu Bu's side, so he was not a virtuous man in itself, so it's no wonder that Lu Bu acted so deviantly.

If there were more people like Li Ru around Lu Bu, it would be a headache just thinking about it.

The feudal lords didn't pay much attention to Lu Bu's merit-seeking order. After Yuan Shao saw it, he just frowned, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. It's not uncommon to watch, and the target groups of both sides are perfectly staggered.

The rest of the princes also have similar attitudes. How can anyone seek talent but not virtue?

For this reason, Cai Yong also came to Lu Bu to discuss this issue.

"Marquis Wen's pursuit of talent, is it too extreme?" Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu and asked, "The ones who seek so much may be talents, but if they have no virtue, wouldn't the court be made into a mess by these people?"

Lu Bu shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Mr. Bo Jie's words are wrong, not to mention the harshness of the imperial court in the past, whether it is fair to be listed as immoral people if they were a little careless, Bu never thinks that the so-called immorality is due to Personal reasons."

"What do you say?" Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu. He found that Lu Bu could always look at problems from some strange angles. At first he heard that he was deviant, but when he thought about it carefully, he was quite reasonable. He is not a pedantic person. When you find a fresh statement, you can quickly find the essence and absorb and assimilate it into your own knowledge.

"When people are born, their talents may be different, but if they say that they have a ignorant view of the world, the thoughts of good and evil formed later are mostly related to the surrounding environment. If someone does evil and benefits, he will not be punished, but will live a better life. Moisturizing, it will naturally attract more people to evil, and if there are more people who are evil, it will naturally lead to the collapse of ritual and music, does Mr. Bo Chi think so?"

Cai Yong nodded silently when he heard the words, these words are quite reasonable, born in such an environment, how many people can uphold the kindness in their hearts.

"In this world, most people are ordinary people. What I'm talking about here is virtue. The thoughts of good and evil can easily be changed by changes in the environment. Therefore, I will admire such high moral things as Duke Bojie, but I can't count on people from all over the world. People are all uncles, so instead of asking others to be virtuous, it is better to improve the political system so that good and evil will be rewarded. In this way, everyone will naturally do good. There will be immorality in the environment.”

Lu Bu's idea is to use the system to guide people to be good, and not to demand the personal morality of officials. This kind of thinking is obviously contrary to the concept of most scholars in the world today, but if you look carefully, even Cai Yong himself is a past system. The beneficiary of the book is known as a great Confucian, but he also feels that Lu Bu's words are quite reasonable.

"The world may have misjudged Marquis Wen." Cai Yong said with emotion. Such a character was rejected by the mainstream gentry circle because of his background. Thinking about it now, Lu Bu's many actions may not be his fault.

"It's good to be wrong." Lu Bu laughed, the more people underestimate him, the better, he wished that the whole world underestimated him.

As the conversation with Lv Bu deepened these days, Cai Yong realized that Lv Bu was a man of great wisdom, but he no longer cared about government affairs. Maybe the government would be better suited for him than being the head of an academy. Recently, Lv Bu had already chosen the location of the academy. , was shot in a beautiful place outside Chang'an City, this kind of place is also suitable for cultivating sentiment.

The academy occupies a large area, and Cai Yong also invited many unofficial disciples to teach here. His main job is to compile Han history, and most of the teaching is done by others. As the head of the academy, he occasionally goes to give lectures Lessons are fine.

The matter of the academy has now spread in the army, because it is only open to the families of meritorious officers and soldiers, so it has not been widely spread. Generals such as Xu Rong, Fan Chou, Hua Xiong, Li Meng, Duan Yan and others are the first to send their children send it.

Zhang Ji even wanted Zhang Xiu to go back to the stove and remake it, but Lu Bu refused before giving up.

However, once the matter of this academy is opened, it may not be very motivating to ordinary soldiers, but it is more cohesive and a sense of belonging to the generals, and there are also some soldiers who are ambitious and want to use meritorious service to break through their own birth restrictions. hope.

Looking at the cartloads of books that were being moved from Cai's mansion to the academy, Lu Bu felt that he had found the right person this time.

During this period of time, Guanzhong has changed a lot. After the New Year’s Eve, in February, when the spring rains, the whole Guanzhong is full of busy farming figures. The changes in the system may not be effective in a short period of time, but they can be felt from the state of ordinary people. to some.

Although they are all public lands, compared with the past when they were cultivated by aristocratic families, now they only need to pay 30% and the rest is their own. For most tenant farmers, they have a hope for life.

The same is true for the people who moved from Nanyang. Although the taxes seem to be heavier than before, there are no miscellaneous taxes, and there are more land than before, so naturally there is more hope.

All of a sudden, the entire Guanzhong was full of people working in full swing.

"This Han Hao is indeed quite capable." Lv Bu led the people walking in the field, and was quite satisfied with the results.

He used to be a farmer, and whether the state of the people was real or pretended, he couldn't deceive Lu Bu's eyes. He didn't expect that the generals who were captured at random in the past were not only good at fighting, but also good at handling government affairs.

"My lord has discerning eyes." Jia Xu, who was following Lu Bu, tucked his hands into his sleeves, gained weight over the winter, making him even more reluctant to move. It was Lu Bu who ordered him to come out forcefully, and Jia Xu was relentless Those who didn't want to follow Lu Bu out to wander around.

Of course, this can't be regarded as not doing business properly. All the efforts made by Lu Bu last year should be able to bear fruit this year. Even though the general outline has been set, many details need to be experienced personally to know.

At this stage, the imperial court will no longer issue decrees, which will make the people feel panic, but appropriate revisions are necessary until next year.

"Last year it rained heavily, but this year it's not so good!" Lu Bu got off his horse, grabbed a handful of soil from the field beside the field, and sighed after feeling it for a while.

Jia Xu wanted to follow, but her fat body made it difficult to move for a while, and her legs got stuck on the saddle.

Dian Wei glanced at him, and lifted him down by the collar!

"Can the general be gentler?" Jia Xu looked around in embarrassment, Xun You was right in front of him, looking at this scene, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, which made Jia Xu, who had little emotion, somewhat annoyed.

"Gentle?" Dian Wei looked at Jia Xu, this fat man was a bit ignorant, and he did a good job of helping you.

forget it!

Looking at Dian Wei's appearance, Jia Xu sighed, expecting him to be gentle? forget it.

Xun You came to Lu Bu's side and asked curiously, "My lord, why did you say that?"

"It won't rain this February, so I'm afraid there won't be much rain this year." Lu Bu threw away the soil in his hands, clapped his hands and looked towards the sky, and said, "It's also fortunate that a lot of ditches were dug for water control last year, and the water from the Jing River can be drawn out. Irrigate the farmland, otherwise the people's harvest will be greatly reduced this year!"

Nanyang is rich in water resources. Even if this is a drought year, Nanyang has sufficient water sources. This is mostly the case in the south, but once the Qinling Mountains are crossed, the water source drops sharply.

"I have to ask Ma Jun to have a look when I go back. Guanzhong needs to build more water conservancy this year." Lu Bu checked the millet in the field, and then got on his horse.

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dian Wei.

"Trouble!" Dian Wei didn't mention his collar this time, and sent him up with his arm.

"Thank you, General!" Jia Xu bowed slightly, sighing inwardly: Maybe I should really walk more.

During the winter of last year, Jia Xu didn't go out much, and ended up like this.

After Lu Bu led the people to inspect the Jingzhao area, he returned to Chang'an and immediately invited Ma Jun to discuss this year's water conservancy matters. More water from the Jing River must be brought out to irrigate the farmland, and Ma Jun will be in charge of this matter. Yes, although talking to Ma Jun is a bit troublesome, but Ma Jun's ability is beyond doubt.

Apart from being busy with government affairs and military training, Lu Bu spent most of his time with his family, especially after Wang Yi became pregnant. Lu Bu would accompany Wang Yi almost every day, and would not leave until she fell asleep.

Although the days are a bit busy, Lu Bu enjoys the fireworks of being with his family.

At night, the low voice seemed to be crying, and it took a long time to stop. On Lu Bu's bed, Yan Shi finally couldn't resist Lu Bu's repeated requests, and agreed to accompany him with Diao Chan. The swaying bed didn't stop until midnight , Diao Chan had already fallen asleep, Yan Shi had experienced a lot after all, lying in Lu Bu's embrace, glanced at Diao Chan who was beside her, bit Lu Bu lightly, and cursed: "If you are the emperor, you must be a fool! "

"Fun Lord?" Lu Bu helped his wife and concubines cover the silk and said with a smile: "Madam didn't say that just now."

Yan was a little ashamed and angry, Lu Bu smiled lightly and hugged her into his arms before calming down, he just buried his head in his arms, and whispered softly: "If I can get a husband, even if I die, I will be willing to be a concubine."

"Go to sleep." A certain string in Lu Bu's heart was touched, and he said softly with his arms around his wife...
