Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Nanyang is not as good as Guanzhong. At the beginning, Lu Bu moved the people of Nanyang away, leaving Nanyang empty. Later, when Li Ru settled in Nanyang and recruited refugees, the gentry and tyrants were not eradicated like Guanzhong. However, there are indeed many restrictions. Tenants must Register household registration with the imperial court.

As long as the refugees registered here in the imperial court, even if they were hired as tenants, even if they were not allocated the imperial land, they would have to account for at least 60% of their income from farming that year.

If it is in Guanzhong, the income of the tenant farmers is higher, usually 80%, the remaining 10% goes to the court, and 10% goes to the owner of the cultivated land.

Of the 60% here, 30% is given to the imperial court, and the last 10% is given to the landlords. It is precisely because of this that the refugees who fled to Nanyang due to the war in the Central Plains are closer to the government office. Private property is not easy.

Compared with Guanzhong gentry tyrants, Nanyang gentry tyrants are actually pretty good. Although tenant farmers don’t get much here, one advantage of Nanyang is that local people basically buy food at a par price, because the imperial court suppresses the rise of food prices. Yes, they can't go up, and neither can the common people.

So they can buy grain at a low price, and then quietly send it to the Central Plains to sell. Cao Cao collects grain hard and is willing to pay a high price, and Nanyang does not have a dangerous pass that can completely lock the road, so although the government office strictly prohibits it, it is still there. A lot can be sent out.

As long as the price is higher than the government office's collection of grain, no one will be against the money, especially the tenant farmers of their own family. After discussing with each other, let the other party keep enough grain for themselves, and the remaining grain will be returned at a price 10% higher than the par price. Still easy.

Yin Feng was naturally aware of the outflow of food and took corresponding measures, but the government office cannot take the lead in raising prices. Although the people benefit in the end, Nanyang government office does not have so much money, so it is impossible to take all of it. To buy food, secondly, it is not comparable to financial resources, and thirdly, if you really do this, it will have a great blow to the credibility of the court.

If it is in Guanzhong, this matter is actually not difficult to solve. The imperial court has absolute resources in Guanzhong, including foreign trade. In fact, food does not make much money, but it is the most important thing for the imperial court. Whoever dares to tamper with it will not be able to use other resources. Think about it, there are ways to get you stuck.

But not in Nanyang, where the business form is still dominated by single things such as grain and cloth, especially not far from the battlefield, grain is an extremely important strategic material, so the powerful gentry in Nanyang still have the courage to fight with the court. After all, we are not robbing.

However, it is precisely because of this that the people in Nanyang are relatively rich, not as good as those in Guanzhong, but compared to the states in the Central Plains, the people here are already living in a fairyland.

And places where the people are rich are relatively more lively. On the market, people can be seen forming a circle from time to time, there are all kinds of hawking, and there are some performers.

Among the crowd, a girl in rough cloth with thorn hairpins knocked twice with a gong, and her crisp voice echoed in the field: "Dear Nanyang elders, the little girl and elder brother were originally generals, but because of their family's fortunes, their hometown was hit by a disaster. , had no choice but to live in another country, now that I have just arrived in your land, I am already penniless, if I beg along the street, it will inevitably humiliate the family style, so today my brother is performing in the street, if you think it looks good, you will give a few coins~"

The girl's crunchy voice was somewhat pitiful, coupled with her slightly dirty face, which aroused pity, but when they heard that they asked for money, many people turned around directly.

The girl quickly knocked on the gong again: "Of course, if you don't have money, everyone help stand up and give my brother a boost. My brothers and sisters also thank you all!"

While talking, I saw a young man holding a long spear over there. When the light of the gun flickered, he stabbed out suddenly, and a wooden stake was instantly split open.

good!

The young man's marksmanship is already beautiful, but at this moment, the shot splitting the wooden stake is really amazing. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, this young man's marksmanship is already extremely extraordinary.

"My brother hasn't had a full meal for a long time. If you think it's okay, please donate some coins so that my brother can have a full meal?" The girl flipped the gong and walked along the crowd.

Seeing how pitiful she was, many people couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and gave one or two five baht coins, and the girl thanked her repeatedly.

"What a sensible child, this world doesn't make people live."

"Who says it's not? The Central Plains has been fighting for years, and now even the generals have to perform for a living. I don't know when the world will be peaceful. You think the flames of war will not reach Nanyang?"

"That's not certain."

"A few days ago, I learned from a vendor from Jingzhou that this Jiangxia had been ceded to Sun Ce by Liu Biao, and I don't know if there is going to be a fight."

"If I knew this earlier, I should have gone to Guanzhong in the first place."

"If there is a fight, Guanzhong will inevitably be involved in the flames of war. My little lady, I have already given you money, why are you still here?" The speaker looked at the girl holding the gong suspiciously.

"No, I just heard that there is going to be a war, and I'm a little scared." The girl shook her head quickly, turned around and ran away.

After receiving a lot of money, the young man danced with a big gun. Seeing that the income was quite good, he got excited and performed a hundred-step piercing performance for everyone. In this era, there are not many performers, and even fewer real kung fu. This young man is solid. , and the dance is more beautiful, which naturally attracts many people to watch.

At noon, everyone left one after another, and the brother and sister closed the stall.

"Sister, this Nanyang person has never seen the world, and he has made a lot of money just by dancing around." Xu Yun counted today's harvest one by one, her almond eyes narrowed with a smile: "Today I want to eat licking cakes, meat There are cakes, candied fruit, stewed noodles, and..."

Seeing Lu Lingqi's gaze, Xu Yun stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, hugged Lu Lingqi's arm and said, "Sister, you look more like a man than Brother Hu! You are so handsome!"

Ever since Lu Bu let them come to study in this way, a group of teenagers would come to Fangshi from time to time to taste all kinds of things in the world, and then go back to study, which is another feeling.

Later, when they were successful in their studies, it was time for everyone to go on a study tour. Lu Lingqi had lost some of her stubbornness in the past. Under Cai Yong's guidance, a group of people decided to travel to Nanyang.

Cai Yong also felt that this kind of putting aside his identity and entering the world as a common man would be more conducive to his studies, but Cai Yong knew better that Guanzhong is not the real world, and Guanzhong is not the most suitable place to truly experience the suffering of the world. It is recommended that Lu Lingqi and her group go to Hanoi, Shangdang, Xiliang or Nanyang.

In the end, everyone decided to choose Nanyang as the first stop of the study tour, and started as ordinary people along the way.

They went to Luoyang first, and then went to Nanyang from Luoyang.

After all, if you go directly to Nanyang through Wuguan, you won't learn much after traveling four hundred miles. It is far less effective to make money all the way by yourself.

As for why Lu Lingqi disguised herself as a man, it was a discussion between the two of them. Two women would easily cause trouble when they were outside. One man and one woman could not only win sympathy, but also have a certain deterrent effect.

Even so, the two of them have encountered a lot of troubles along the way, but they are at the bottom, and it is not easy to encounter big troubles. At first, they were uniformed and sent to officials, but later it was simpler, just beat them ruthlessly. In such a place, people are not ruthless, and they are not stable, just like it is now...

Two strong men came in front of them and looked at the money bag in Xu Yun's hand. One of the strong men grabbed it, but instead of grabbing the money bag, he took it out from Xu Yun's chest.

"Om~" A long spear flew past and landed on the strong man's chest, Lu Lingqi looked up at him: "Brother, my brother and sister don't seem to have provoked you."

The burly man looked at the long spear held against his chest, and said with a sneer, "Come on, you stab, you..."

"Pfft~"

Pushing the spear forward slightly, a smear of blood overflowed from the tip of the spear, Lu Lingqi looked at this person: "Do you want to stab again?"

While speaking, the strength in his hands gradually increased.

How could the strong man dare to resist, he quickly took two steps back, and looked at her with a pale face: "Are you serious, boy!?"

"My brother and sister have traveled all the way here, met bandits and killed horse bandits. If I take a step back today, you will definitely go further. If so, let's compete!" Lu Lingqi stood up slowly, looking at each other with cold eyes : "It's up to you, or it's life and death, it doesn't matter!"

This posture of playing with one's life at every turn immediately calmed down the two of them.

Another big man looked at the spear in the opponent's hand. Obviously, their usual methods of bullying outsiders would not work on this person. Evil tigers don't fight local dogs? Since my little brother is making a living here in Nanyang, he should abide by my Nanyang rules!"

"Oh?" Lu Lingqi put away her gun and stood up, slightly nodded and said: "But I don't know what the rules are?"

The burly man who was stabbed held his wound and cursed: "What's the rule? Tell you, you have to pay tolls for the money you earn here. It's not much. If you earn ten plants, just pay me eight plants!"

"So that's how it is!" Lu Lingqi groped for the spear and said, "I just don't know, are you two destined to take the money?"

The one who was not injured gave the injured strong man a hard look, clasped his fists at Lu Lingqi and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't listen to his nonsense, but you need to give some money for passing by."

Lu Lingqi glanced at him and waved to Xu Yun.

"Brother, why are you afraid of them?" Xu Yun held the money bag with a look of reluctance.

"Huh?" Lu Lingqi looked back at her.

"Just give it." Xu Yun reluctantly handed over the money bag.

Lu Lingqi counted twenty coins out of it and handed it to the other party. The other party stretched out his hand to take it, but Lu Lingqi suddenly withdrew his hand again.

"Little brother, what do you mean?" The strong man looked at Lu Lingqi in confusion.

"Since I paid the toll, I should know whose way I'm going?" Lu Lingqi looked at the two of them and said, "If it's just two of you, it's not worth the money."

"What do you mean by that!"

"Fuck you!" Xu Yun suddenly became violent, and kicked the strong man's crotch: "I have endured you for a long time!"

Another strong man wanted to move, but seeing Lu Lingqi's eyes turned cold, he had no choice but to give up...
