Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 39 The Law of Governance

In Jiuyuan, the new year has passed, but the weather here is still very cold.

As my hometown, the dilapidated Jiuyuan in front of me is far from what I remember. Although it was barren at that time, at least the city walls were still being repaired, and the cultivated fields outside the city were not deserted.

At that time, the Southern Xiongnu and Xiutu jointly attacked and killed Zhang Yi, resulting in the fall of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Xihe, and Shangjun. The five counties, which were already thinly populated, had been ravaged by the Huns for many years, and the survivors ran away and stayed There are very few, and the city has almost become an empty city.

The governance of the Huns can probably refer to the Manchu Dynasty in the simulated world. Of course, the Huns did not dare not treat the Han people as human beings like the Manchurian Dynasty. It is just that the few cultivated fields have completely become pastures, and the people have no way out. The people of Zhongzhou under the rule of the Manchus are actually not much better.

When I didn't come back, I was homesick, but when I came back, looking at the dilapidated hometown made me feel even more uncomfortable.

"My lord, the leaders of all clans are here." Dian Wei came behind Lu Bu and bowed.

"Let them enter the account and wait." Lu Bu nodded, "Bring Huchuquan too!"

"Here!" Dian Wei nodded and turned to make arrangements.

Lu Bu glanced at the deserted city again, turned and returned to the camp.

Although Hetao is the habitat assigned to the Huns, it is not only the Huns who live here. There are also many clans and Qiangs living here. However, with the decline of the power of the Han Dynasty, these tribes have gradually respected the Huns or Xianbei. , No longer respect the big man.

But this time, Lu Bu made a surprise attack on a snowy night and pursued him thousands of miles away. He almost wiped out the two strongest tribes in Hetao, the Xiongnu and Xiutu. The original convened a discussion among all the ministries, even if they knew it was not a good thing for their tribe, no one dared to refuse.

No one wants to be the next Xiongnu or Xiutu.

King Xiutu died, and Xiutu was half destroyed by Lu Bu, and the Xiongnu was almost uprooted by Lu Bu, and the pursuit of thousands of miles was basically for the Huns.

The two strongest were beaten like this. Although Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are also in a state of exhaustion, no one dares to say no to Lu Bu's call, unless they don't want to continue to live in this land.

When Lu Bu came to the big tent, all the leaders and adults had already gathered here. When they saw Lu Bu coming in, they all stood up to greet him.

In fact, they didn't know Lu Bu well, and they would express their respect in this way to every general of the Han army they had just met, so as not to offend people who shouldn't be offended.

"You don't need to be too polite." Lu Bu sat down boldly and motioned for everyone to take their seats.

"Thank you, General!" Everyone bowed quickly.

"Back then, my big man set aside the Hetao Plain for the Xiongnu and other tribes to recuperate. It was because of the bitter cold in the northern part of Saisai. I couldn't bear the cold and starvation of a large number of people every year, so I gave this fertile land to you to recuperate. But how did you repay me? A big man?" Lu Bu didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point. While speaking, his eyes were like knives, and he swept across the heads of the tribes and adults.

Everyone bowed their heads involuntarily, ashamed? That's impossible, the rule outside the Great Wall is that the weak eat the strong, and the big man is weak and unable to control this place, so this Hetao will naturally become fat in the eyes of all the tribes.

The same goes for the Xiongnu. When they were strong, everyone was willing to attach themselves to the Xiongnu, but now that the Huns were almost exterminated by Lu Bu, no one would lend a helping hand to the Huns at this time. Even if Lu Bu was not here, the places occupied by the Xiongnu would have been Being swallowed by people, this is the law of the grassland.

They bowed their heads because they succumbed to Lu Bu's power, not because they really felt guilty. Lu Bu naturally knew this. If he had time, Lu Bu would definitely not want to talk nonsense with these people. Included in the Dahan territory.

But Lu Bu couldn't stay here forever, and even the imperial court couldn't put too many troops here, so Lu Bu decided to discuss the future with these tribal leaders.

Seeing that the crowd remained silent, Lu Bu smiled: "General Hua Xiong suggested that we simply slaughter all the tribes like you to avoid future troubles!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Even though they knew it was impossible, they were afraid that Lu Bu would take it seriously. Even if he couldn't kill everyone, he could still severely damage all the tribes.

Hua Xiong: "..."

Although I don't remember when I said this, but when I saw someone staring at me, I immediately stared at them with a murderous look on my face, and looked at these people menacingly.

Well, this master who is not easy to mess with at first glance, everyone looked at Lu Bu again, a little nervous, if Lu Bu really wanted to kill them, should they resist?

It seems like the result makes no difference.

A little irritable, he couldn't help touching the weapon, but saw behind Lu Bu, Dian Wei squinted his eyes, and his cold eyes swept over, and the iron halberd flickered with cold light, as if it might strike at any time.

Cold sweat dripped from everyone's foreheads. No one knew what Lu Bu meant when he said this, but they knew that at this moment, their lives seemed to be out of their hands.

"But God has the virtue of being good at life. I, a big man, have always convinced people with virtue, but what you have done before has made me very dissatisfied!" Lu Bu leaned back: "Everyone, tell me how to make my big man feel at ease. Continue here."

Give me a reason to keep you guys alive, with sincerity.

"This..." All the leaders looked at each other in blank dismay. If you want to say what to do, we will do it, but now let us say it ourselves...

I thought it was simple, but soon everyone found out that it was wrong. If you say this kind of thing easily, you are not sincere, and if you say it too hard, you cannot do it.

In the big tent, the atmosphere fell into an unspeakable solemnity for a while, and everyone didn't know how to speak. Usually, the big man put forward the conditions, and they chose whether to accept it. Now this suddenly changed the way, asking them to make the conditions themselves, which made people feel uncomfortable. Even more difficult.

"General Lu..." After a long time, one of the leaders said to Lu Bu after deliberating for a long time, "Why don't we restart the Hun Hun Captain's Department? We are willing to help the court when it is needed."

The Huns did the same thing in the past. In fact, Hu Chuquan was not considered a betrayal of the great man. He still listened to the princes of the Central Plains, but he misunderstood the target. Now they are willing to stand firmly on Lu Bu's side.

Anyway, they don't know how powerful Yuan Shao is, but Lu Bu really can't afford to provoke him.

Lu Bu leaned back slightly, and he has been thinking about how to manage the grassland, because according to his experience in the simulated world, grassland herdsmen cannot manage it like the Han people. The people of the Han Dynasty generally live in one place for generations, which invisibly increases the difficulty of management.

It's impossible to completely exterminate them. They can't fight, they can flee north, and just like the Xianbei quietly rose after the Huns were beaten and disabled in the past, it is impossible to completely eliminate the troubles of the grassland.

Lv Bu has been thinking about how to deal with the problems here these days, but it is obviously not enough to set up the Hun Nu Xiaowei Department. If it is really so useful, there will be no such thing as Lv Bu going out of Hetao now.

Everyone is also silently waiting for Lu Bu's return to the camp, and the establishment of the Hun Hun Captain's Department seems to be nothing, but it means that they are willing to accept the governance of the big man, and they can govern as they want. After this battle, at least within ten years, No one dared to stroke Lu Bu's tiger beard again. In this way, the re-established Department of Protecting the Huns still has enough deterrent power and the right to speak.

"The Department of Protecting the Huns, of course, is going to be built." Lu Bu knocked on the table, and finally spoke, and everyone was relieved, at least we could talk, no one wants to fight with Lu Bu now.

"But..." Lu Bu looked at everyone.

"What orders does the general have, please be sure to tell me, we will definitely do our best!" Seeing this, several people hurriedly said.

"All ethnic groups need to send a certain number of soldiers to the Xiongnu Xiaowei Department to obey orders. The Hunnu Xiaowei Department is expected to have 5,000 soldiers and horses. The Han will keep 1,000, and the remaining 4,000 will be sent by each department. Wait for your own discussion, but it must be in full." Lu Bu looked at the crowd and said: "In addition, each ministry needs to pay taxes every year. After that, the imperial court will set a regulation, and the imperial court will open markets in Meiji, Jiuyuan, etc. The place will not be fortified, and salt, grain, tea, cloth, etc. will be exchanged here every year, and there will be no need to sneak around to exchange these things in the future."

This is a good thing!

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words. They thought it was just bleeding, but they didn't expect it to be beneficial. You must know that in order to get enough salt, countless battles are fought on the grassland every year. To be able to trade directly from the Han Dynasty, for them, That's definitely a good thing.

"However, these merchants who come to sell goods must not be harmed by any ethnic group. If they ask for a price, you can inform the Hunnu Xiaowei Department, but if they do it privately, the imperial court will pursue it, and so will I!" Lu Bu looked at everyone. Shen Sheng said.

It is obviously unrealistic for the imperial court to send troops to maintain law and order in Hetao. The manpower and material resources cannot keep up. It is better to use deterrence to let them maintain it by themselves and form new rules.

"It's not difficult!" Everyone nodded and quickly agreed.

"Probably that's the case. The rest will be informed in the future through the Hun Nu Xiaowei Department." Lu Bu looked at the crowd and said, "If you don't have any meaning, this matter will be settled like this. Covenant, what do you think?"

Although there is still some resistance to paying taxes, but for now, sending away Lu Bu, the evil god, is the top priority, and some of the conditions proposed by Lu Bu are beneficial to them, so this resistance will be less. After each nodded in agreement, they left one after another.

"Jinrong." After everyone left, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Xiu and said.

"The last general is here!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly clasped his fists together.

"You will take up the post of guarding the Xiongnu school lieutenant temporarily. Do you have any objections?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Xiu and said, as a leader of the younger generation, Zhang Xiu's ability and character still made Lu Bu rest assured that Hetao would be handed over to him. Yes, let Huaxiong guard the Hetao and Lu Bu is not at ease, so let's lead troops to fight.

"According to the lord!" Zhang Xiu naturally had no objection, he knew that this was an opportunity to prove himself, and such opportunities were rare.
