Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter Ten Convergence

After June, the farmers in the countryside began to get busy harvesting grain. This year is not a good year, but for the people living in Guanzhong, life is looking forward to.

Next to the farmlands, the people who are busy farming are counting their fingers to figure out how much food their families will actually get after paying taxes this year. In short, it will be much more than in previous years.

It is also because of this that they are full of energy.

There was a lively scene among the rice paddies, but in Chang'an City, it was much more deserted than before.

"My lord, why don't you take a closer look?" Riding on the official road outside Chang'an City, Xun You couldn't help asking when he saw Lu Bu patrolling the fields with his eyes.

"If you just pass by, the people won't care, but if you come close, you will disturb the people!" Lu Bu looked at the golden scene in front of him, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart like those farmers in the field.

Xun You looked around silently, and said nothing. After this year, Lu Bu's popularity and popular support in Guanzhong will reach a peak. Last year, Lu Bu's idea of ​​innovation was just a verbal talk, but this year with the autumn harvest, it has been completely implemented.

Will the family really choose to surrender?

Xun You doesn't believe it. Sometimes benefits can make people crazy. Not everyone is willing to cut flesh like Yang Biao.

"My lord, there are ordinary scenes everywhere, why don't you go back." Xun You was a little worried about being assassinated in the wild. Although Lu Bu brought his personal guards with him on this trip, the sword has no eyes.

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words: "Alright, tomorrow is the day for the assessment of scholars from all over the world. Has the Taiyuan Academy been cleared?"

Xun You nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the Taiyuan Academy has already recruited all the scholars who participated in the assessment. Before the formal assessment, I will not meet anyone. At the same time, the minister who is in charge of writing the questions has also temporarily lived in the Taiyuan Academy. There is Habayashi Guarded by the Army and Huben Guards, there will be no risk of the exam questions being leaked."

"Let's go!" Glancing at the golden field again, Lu Bu signaled the rear guards to get out of the way, turned his horse's head, and ran back and forth.

Ever since Lu Bu issued the Order of Seeking Talents in the name of the court, even though Lu Bu was notorious among the scholars, there were still many people who came here in response to the Order of Seeking Talents, and Guo Jia, Fa Yan, and Fa Zheng were only a few.

In fact, those who ask themselves how talented they are, and those who have no future in other places, are rushing to Chang'an. In short, it is impossible to say that they all came to Lu Bu like Guo Jia.

But as long as they are really talented, Lu Bu doesn't mind the purpose of the other party's coming, as long as they can be used, most people don't have the ability to rebel. On the contrary, no matter what their original intentions are, their abilities can indeed benefit Lu Bu and the common people.

Chang'an City is also because of the influx of scholars from all over the world, not to mention how lively it is, but it is a bit more refined than before, and scholars who come to visit can be seen on the streets from time to time.

It’s just that following Dong Zhuo’s several massacres during the period from Lu Bu to Lv Bu, 90% of the scholars in Chang’an and even the entire Jingzhao were massacred. live in a hotel, or go to live with some friends.

It is one thing to hear that Lu Bu is harsh on the scholars, but it is another thing to actually come to Chang'an and realize that the familiar faces in the past are basically gone. Until this time, many scholars began to feel a little panicked, especially this time. Although the people of Chang'an respected the scholars, they did not have the submissive feeling that people in other places had when they met the scholars.

Even sometimes when the two sides had a quarrel, they dared to do it directly, and then naturally alarmed the government.

This Chang'an city is at the foot of the emperor, and recently, when scholars from all over the world flocked to the city, the number of city guards patrolling the city was twice as high as usual, and Xu Rong was in charge of Chang'an himself, which shows that Lu Bu was very serious about this time. The importance of the assessment is much higher than the previous assessment of Guanzhong scholars.

Of course, the number of people facing this time is also more.

"My lord, all the rosters of scholars are here." As soon as I returned to the government office, I saw that Yang Xiu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lu Bu, he quickly handed over several rosters to Lu Bu and asked, "My lord, let's see if there are any." Anyone who needs attention?"

Lu Bu took the bamboo slips and spread them out, glanced at the names one by one, and quickly found the names of Guo Jia, Fa Yan, and Fa Zheng. He nodded and said, "That's right, Dezu's work is the most reassuring."

"Thank you, my lord." Yang Xiu hurriedly thanked him.

"I heard that Dezu's family has sent a caravan to the Western Regions?" Lu Bu put down the bamboo slips, looked at Yang Xiu and asked with a smile.

"Exactly." Yang Xiu nodded confidently, and looked at Lu Bu expectantly, wanting to confirm his conjecture.

"What's wrong with the eyes?" Dian Wei looked at Yang Xiu's appearance, and waved his big hand in front of his eyes.

Yang Xiu: "..."

Seeing Yang Xiu's appearance, Lu Bu wanted to laugh, thought for a while and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wen Xian, for what happened last time, he was wronged."

Lu Bu definitely can't take the lead in doing business directly. Then if there is a situation where the tail is too big to lose in the future, Lu Bu will not be able to clean it up. The merchants will make the country rich, but if it is not used properly, it can also confuse people's hearts. This degree of control is very important and very important. Difficult, so after Lu Bu opened the Silk Road, someone needs to be a leader, go to the Silk Road first, and make a lot of profits, so as to attract more gentry to pay attention to the Silk Road.

Of course, these gentry in Guanzhong are not the most important. What Lu Bu wants to hook most is the gentry under the rule of the princes of the Guandong, using the Silk Road to corrupt them, and then let them sell their lords for profit!

It may not be completely useful, but it will never be in vain. Those beautiful things in human nature are most likely to be tarnished by messy desires such as interests and rights.

Of course, Lu Bu needs to guard against this even more. The centripetal force of the officials under his rule may not be stronger than Yuan Shu.

The more noble things in human nature, such as etiquette, justice, honesty and shame, are actually luxury goods. Without a certain wealth accumulation and background, this thing is fragile and pale in the face of interests. It is unrealistic to expect people to consciously keep these bottom lines, so businessmen must use them. But it is even more necessary to put on layers of shackles to prevent it from corrupting people's hearts.

The people are not afraid of being corrupted, but Lu Bu hopes that someone can corrupt all the people with profit. What is really terrible is the collusion between the government and businessmen, and the power that is bred is the most terrifying.

Now the Yang family took the lead in doing this to relieve Lu Bu's siege, but in the future when these leaders are not needed, if the Yang family refuses to give up, the first one to cut will be the Yang family.

Seeing Yang Xiu's expression waiting for praise, Lu Bu sighed. He can read people's hearts, but he can't understand human nature. Without enough accumulation and experience, his ability to read people's hearts is a kind of burden to him.

"My father has always admired the lord, and what happened before was mostly a misunderstanding." Yang Xiu nodded, his expression a little excited. Lu Bu's words were obviously a kind of encouragement.

That old man... Maybe he is cursing himself in his heart. Although Lu Bu made friends with Cai Yong, it does not mean that he likes to make friends with people of this age. He is pedantic, but he has lived a thorough life in other aspects, and he also has the bearing of a Confucian master, so he can sit down with Lu Bu and discuss the Tao.

Yang Biao... has a high reputation and is indeed old enough, but he is destined not to get along with Lu Bu. Most of the heads of big families like Yang Biao are unlikely to talk to Lu Bu. Their selfishness is extremely serious. Just like now, Yang Xiu wants Lu Bu to treat Yang Biao the same way he treats Cai Yong.

But Yang Biao's purpose was to gain benefits through Lu Bu, not a friend of a gentleman like Cai Yong who had nothing else to ask but just discussed the Tao.

Lu Bu doesn't dislike his subordinates' desires and goals, and they all have them in life, but he hates to talk to him with this kind of purpose.

If the other party didn't tell the truth, it's impossible for Lu Bu to believe it? Why bother? It's better for everyone to sit down and talk about what they want and what they can give. It's just a pity for the child Yang Xiu. He is pure, but it's a pity that his father took advantage of him.

"I will visit when I have time, and I hope that Mr. Wen Xian will not be disgusted by then." Naturally, the thoughts in my heart cannot be expressed, and now it is time to use the Yang family.

"Of course not." Yang Xiu nodded, then bowed to Lu Bu and said, "My lord, Xiu still has something to ask."

"Oh?" Lu Bu sat down, looked at Yang Xiu and said, "Let's listen."

"Xiu also wants to participate in tomorrow's assessment, noncommittal?" Yang Xiu raised his head and looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Now you are Wei Weicheng under my sect, and you will surely be a county magistrate or prefect in the future, and your official career is considered open, why do you still want to participate in the assessment?" Lu Bu looked at Yang Xiu with some surprise.

Yang Xiu smiled with a bit of pride and said: "Xiu think about the heroes of the world for a while, please help me!"

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu, then at Xun You, a little amused, and finally turned to Yang Xiu and said, "Sure."

"Thank you, my lord!" Yang Xiu was overjoyed and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Fatty, why are you shaking your head?" Dian Wei knelt beside Jia Xu, saw Jia Xu shaking his head slightly after Yang Xiu left, and poked him with some doubts.

Jia Xu didn't speak, but just pushed her teacup.

Dian Wei quickly served Jia Xu.

"Young people are always impulsive, and it's good to suffer a little bit." Jia Xu sighed, Yang Xiu has the ability to understand people's hearts, but not the ability to see through human nature, so it is a pistol, but it is a pity, Yang Biao behind him He overestimated his son too much, and underestimated Lu Bu, but it was a pity for this child, who was so passionate that he would eventually bleed his head.

"Although this kid is a little arrogant, but I heard from my lord that he is a rare talent who has great knowledge and memorization, and is extremely intelligent. He will lose?" Dian Wei asked in surprise, he didn't understand those things very well.

"Who did you forget yesterday?" Jia Xu laughed.

"Drunkard? He can't do it." Dian Wei said with disdain for Guo Jia.

"Not necessarily!" Jia Xu chuckled lightly.
