Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 28: A Year of Trouble

The birth of Wang Yi was a twin of dragon and phoenix. For the Lu family, this was naturally a great joy. When the news spread, all the generals under Lu Bu's command sent congratulatory gifts one after another. These few days, the Lu mansion has been extremely lively.

Naturally, Lu Bu was also happy. Counting the unborn child in Diao Chan's womb, his Lu family was no longer so thin in his own generation.

However, the lively scene every day for a long time also made Lu Bu a little bored. After all, hosting a banquet every day to entertain guests would be annoying to anyone, and there was no need to wait. This kind of thing did not push people outside.

This is the distress of being in a high position. Private affairs can easily be politically colored and become less pure. Originally, the Lu family added members, and Lu Bu's subordinates who had the most members of the Lu family would just come and have fun, but in fact it is The emperor sent people to visit, and Lu Bu was able to treat him with courtesy, and the courtiers came to congratulate him, but Lu Bu could not keep a cold face.

In short, after this incident, people were unwilling to face it from the bottom of their hearts. Lu Bu began to hide and quiet, and it lasted until September, when this trend was considered deserted.

"Why is my husband sighing again?" At night, Yan looked at Lu Bu sitting by the window and sighed, wondering, could it be that something happened to the two children?

"I think, after Diao Chan's child is born, it will be a bit of a headache in such a situation." Lu Bu rubbed his temples, sometimes he really didn't want to face the right and wrong in the court.

"Everyone is also kind." Yan shook his head and said: "Many people want this kind of excitement and can't get it, so don't be dissatisfied, my husband."

"People are like this, they ask for nothing but don't get it, and after they get it, they don't want to cherish it, and they don't want to be a husband, but they have the same idea." Lu Bu sighed with emotion, seeing Yan's finishing each piece of small clothes, A little surprised: "Why does Madam do so much?"

"Husband forgot, the newborn baby grows very fast, and these clothes will soon be unusable. Seeing that winter is approaching, we need to prepare more." Yan said with a smile.

"Don't neglect Lingqi just because of this." Lu Bu casually said after helping to fold two pieces.

"Lingqi has passed the New Year's Eve, she will be ten years old, she will go to the academy, and she is very sensible, so she should be fine, right?" Yan looked at Lu Bu suspiciously.

"That's not necessarily the case." Lu Bu shook his head: "At my husband's age, I sometimes feel left out when I see you and others busying around these two little guys all day long, let alone Lingqi."

When Yan heard this, she gave Lu Bu a blank look: "Why is my husband so stingy?"

"This is not stingy!" Lu Bu stretched out his hand, pulled Yan Shi into his arms, and picked it up, and the coat slipped off his smooth skin, revealing a large area of ​​snowy skin: "It doesn't feel good to be separated from a woman." receive."

It's not uncommon for Lu Bu to be so careless, but Yan just gave Lu Bu a light hammer in reproach and said, "Turn off the lights!"

"It won't rest tonight. Take a good look at my wife for my husband." Lu Bu laughed, picked up his wife and walked to the couch.

The night wind is softly singing, slightly cool, and the lights are flickering, sending a bit of the spring in the room into the night wind, adding a bit of warmth to the late autumn night...

After the autumn harvest, the pace of life in Chang'an City can be felt to slow down obviously. After the excitement of Lu Mansion's additions has passed, life has returned to the calmness of the past, but this year it seems that some people have really angered God.

In October, another earthquake occurred in the Jingzhao area. This time the impact on Chang'an was not great, but the impact was very wide, almost spreading to the entire Jingzhao.

Houses of people in many places have collapsed. How many people will freeze to death in this winter without shelter from the wind and rain?

The court reacted calmly to this, and Yang Biao was dismissed from office again. If it was the past, there would be an earthquake just after Lu Bu had a son, and there would inevitably be some rumors. Besides, there are not many twists and turns.

Lu Bu ordered the counties to start organizing disaster relief to help the people repair or rebuild houses so that too many people would freeze to death this winter.

It is almost certain that someone will freeze to death. Even if there is no earthquake, there will always be people who will freeze to death in the cold wind every winter. Not every family can afford such things as charcoal basins. Without this thing, ordinary People's ability to keep out the cold is extremely poor.

When encountering such a thing, Lu Bu could only try to reduce the number of deaths as much as possible.

"Feng Xiao hasn't seen anyone these few days?" On the street of Chang'an, Lu Bu and the three were sitting by the side of the street. This time Dian Wei didn't bring a teapot. Wei is much better.

"Where else can it be? If you look at the countless brothels in Chang'an, you will definitely find him! How many years has his salary been advanced in advance?" Dian Wei couldn't get used to Guo Jia's virtue. , who also entered the university entrance examination. Seeing that the father and son of the Legalists work hard every day, and then looking at Guo Jia, he has basically never seen him doing serious work. When meeting Lu Bu, the most talked about is the advance salary!

It is precisely because of this that Dian Wei is very displeased with Guo Jia, even if you follow the lord to fish for fish like Fatty Jia, it’s fine. Places like brothels are only allowed to be listened to, and they spend a lot of money. , what is the use of going there?

"Based on Fengxiao's current spending speed, the current salary is already..." Jia Xu roughly calculated, and looked at Lu Bu strangely: "The advance payment will be twenty years later."

How many months has Guo Jia been under Lu Bu's command? Moreover, Lu Bu's salary for Guo Jia was not low at all. If he didn't go to brothels and other gold-selling caves, Guo Jia's salary for one year would be enough for his family to live a prosperous life and still have a surplus.

"It seems to be." Lu Bu just nodded when he heard the words, and didn't pay much attention to it. Although it was an advance payment, the monthly salary that should be paid was actually still paid, but it was directly paid to Guo Jia's wife.

Dian Wei's eyes widened even more. He was very clear about how Lu Bu treated Guo Jia. He looked at Lu Bu expectantly and said, "My lord, can the... end general also give some salary?"

"Sure, I'll send someone to your mother-in-law tomorrow." Lu Bu nodded. His subordinates were in trouble, so the lord should help. Considering that Dianwei was by his side most of the time and had no time to spend money, Lu Bu decided In one step, the money was sent directly to Dianwei's house, and his wife took care of it.

"Why?" Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu in astonishment. Isn't this bias too obvious?

"Feng Xiao is in charge of making suggestions, and spending time and drinking will not affect his making suggestions, but you are a military commander. If you are like him, your martial arts will be ruined in a few years. What? I will protect you then?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Dian Weidao.

this……

Dian Wei couldn't refute for a while, he and Guo Jia did different things, but he was still a little depressed in his heart, always felt that Lu Bu was too kind to Guo Jia, but since Guo Jia entered Chang'an, although he was loyal to Lu Bu In the government office, Xun You and Yang Xiu are busy every day without touching the ground. In the Ting Wei office, Fa Zheng and his son are also very busy. Compared with these people, Guo Jia is really a little There is no morals.

Jia Xu asked the cook to pour him another bowl of hot tea, looked at the market in the distance and said, "There have been so many disasters recently, my lord needs to be prepared earlier, it hasn't rained a single time since autumn, My lord still needs to prepare early."

Lu Bu looked at the sky when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "This autumn rain is not guaranteed. Let's see if there will be more snow in winter. If there is less snow in winter, next year may be another drought year."

Lu Bu’s first year in power was not a good year, but it was not a bad year for the people, but compared to previous years, this year was actually not a good year. It’s just that there was more food in the hands of the people. For the common people, the year is just getting better, but if it continues like this for several years, life will not be much better.

Dian Wei looked at the sky with a melancholy expression when he heard the words, and the two said something that people couldn't understand.

"Xu thinks it's better to make some preparations in advance. You can buy some grain and grass from Jingzhou and Huaihe River through Nanyang. In addition, you can ask Liu Yan to send a batch of grain and grass to the court in the name of the court." Jia Xu laughed.

One is to take precautions before they happen, and the other is to test the reaction of the Shu land to Lu Bu's side. It is not necessary to decide on Shu first, but there is no harm in testing the reaction of the Shu land.

In fact, the current grain reserves in Chang'an are enough to make the entire Guanzhong region survive the drought for a year. The twelve giant granaries outside Chang'an city alone are enough to make the whole Guanzhong not have to worry about food and grass in the next year, but If there are successive droughts, these grains will not be enough. There are many disasters in Guanzhong right now, so it is right to make more preparations.

Lu Bu nodded in agreement when he heard the words: "Wen He is right, and I will leave this matter to you."

"..." After a moment of silence, Jia Xu nodded and said, "Here~"

Looking at the streets and alleys now, the people with a bit of a smile on their faces, I hope this time next year will be such a lively scene.

"My lord!" The three of them sat for a long time on the inconspicuous corner of the street, and they got up when they felt a little cold. When they were about to leave, they were stopped by a familiar voice, but they saw a figure in the distance rushing towards them. Looking at Lu Bu, he smiled and said, "My lord, what a coincidence!"

Dian Wei's face was a little dark, Lu Bu would be here most of the day, this guy was obviously here on purpose, what a coincidence.

Jia Xu shook his head helplessly. Although he is a talent, it is not easy to use this person.

Lu Bu looked for the money bag helplessly, but Guo Jia showed up on his own initiative, usually because he was short of money.

"My lord, what is this for?" Guo Jia asked in surprise when he saw Lu Bu's action.

"Didn't Feng Xiao pay for the wine on credit?" Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia's appearance and asked in surprise. It's rare that Guo Jia didn't come here for money.

Guo Jia: "..."

If it was a normal scholar, he would definitely refuse at this moment with an angry expression on his face, but Guo Jia is obviously not a normal scholar, he took the money bag from Lu Bu skillfully, shook his head and said: "That's not the case, there are some novelties, my lord. I come!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but urge several people to go on the road.
