Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"Father." When Lu Yong came to Jiangdong, it was the hottest time in Jiangdong. Looking at Lu Bu after a long absence, Lu Yong felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

In other words, Lu Yong has had an inexplicable fear towards his father since the last incident in Chang'an was interrupted by Lu Bu.

He found that his thoughts seemed to be different from his father's. He didn't know why he was suddenly called to Jiangdong this time.

"Yeah." Lu Bu put down the file he was reading, looked at his son and smiled: "He's stronger again."

Lu Yong didn't say anything, just stood beside Lu Bu.

"Do you have any guesses about what you are called to do this time?" Lu Bu felt somewhat emotional in his heart when he saw his son's cautious appearance.

Lu Yong shook his head.

"Jiangdong has been initially decided. The imperial laws must be promoted in Jiangdong. You have been in power over the years, but your vision is still too small and too impatient. I will leave Xingba to guard here, and you will preside over the government affairs in Jiangdong. Are you willing?" Lu Bu looked at Lu Yong and asked.

"My child will obey my father's orders." Lu Yong bowed and said.

"It's not enough to respect my orders. What the court wants is someone who can benefit the people and make peace with troubles. Let me ask you, what should you do if the mountains become more turbulent?" Lu Bu shook his head and asked immediately.

"To suppress by force, first conquer and then focus on moralizing." Lu Yong thought.

"What if I can't beat him?"

"Can't beat him!?" Lu Yong looked at his father blankly. This... touched his blind spot. Ever since he became sensible, he seemed to have no experience of being unable to beat foreigners or the princes of the Central Plains.

"Writing requires the right time, place, and people. Although you are not talented in the art of war, you should be able to judge the situation." Lu Bu looked at his son and encouraged: "Things like the Vulcan cannon are not invincible everywhere. The reason why they can It is invincible just because we have avoided the disadvantages. If you have to carry it into the mountains, this thing may not be effective with crossbows."

"If the battle is unfavorable..." Lu Yong thought for a while and said: "Lure him with money and silk, then divide him and convert him!"

"You must have a sword in your hand, and it must be sharp, otherwise the young people will covet it; not only Jiangdong, but also the world's armaments cannot be laid down, but war will hurt the people, so war is the last resort."

Lu Yong nodded silently. He knew that his father was taking the opportunity to teach him. He had served as a county magistrate, had seen soldiers, and had been on an envoy to the Western Regions. His knowledge and ability were not bad, but he had no experience in actually taking charge of a county or a state. Experience, leaving Jiangdong to him for development this time is also meant to hone his skills.

At most he had served as a county magistrate and had done diplomacy before trying to get his hands on the throne. Lu Bu hoped that the position of governor of this state would open up his son's horizons and govern the world. Mindfulness is very important. At the same time, it also meant that he would temporarily fade away from the core. After all, he offended Luoyang. There are too many people.

"What if the nobles rebel?" Lu Bu asked.

"Apply grace and power at the same time, first show them power, and then subdue them with kindness! If you can't subdue them... then cut them off and eradicate them." Lu Yong bowed and said.

"It seems that I have learned a lot recently." Lu Bu looked at his son and said, "How do you look at a scholar?"

"The world cannot be without scholars, but scholars must be guarded against. Since Guangwu, the nobles have been too indulgent, which is why the nobles are as strong as they are today." Lu Yong bowed and said.

Lu Bu shook his head: "Why did Nashi become so strong? What are the advantages and disadvantages for the world?"

Lu Yong thought: "The root of the growth of scholars is the annexation of land, which makes the people cultivate less and less land. According to the old system, the taxes that the court can collect are naturally less and less, and the court's tax revenue is less. We can only increase taxes, and more people cannot afford to pay taxes, so they can only sell their fields. This cycle repeats, the scholars become more and more prosperous, the people become poorer and poorer, and it becomes more and more difficult for the court to collect taxes."

"It's a little worse." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Dare you ask father for advice?" Lu Yong bowed.

"In fact, no matter who is placed in the position of a scholar, including you and me, they will do the same thing as them, and it is human nature to continuously strengthen themselves. In fact, there have been people in the position of a scholar since ancient times, but they are called differently. The imperial court is very contradictory. It must be used but also defended. Today's laws may have loopholes tomorrow as generations change, and then the scholars will become stronger and in turn threaten the imperial court. We cannot rely solely on the imperial court to suppress them. This will only make the imperial court The conflict between warriors and warriors became more and more acute, and eventually it turned into war."

Lu Yong suddenly realized: "Father is saying, seek external help?"

"All things in this world are interdependent. Although a scholar is high, there are countless people below him who want to take their place. It is true to borrow external force, but where is the external force?" Lu Bu nodded, and then asked.

external force?

"Poor family, common people." Lu Yong felt suddenly enlightened. He seemed to understand his father's behavior over the years. He really understood the truth. In fact, it was not that complicated. But before he could see clearly, he felt that it was cloudy and foggy. around.

"These people will fight for themselves. When they reach the position of knights, they will do the same things as knights. You can think of them as one, but there are differences in their upper and lower positions." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head.

"Common people?" Lu Yong frowned slightly when he thought of what Lu Bu had done over the years. These people didn't have much power.

"The world is just like this attic." Lu Bu came to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said with a smile: "Shi, including you, me, and the emperor, is just like this attic, exquisite, gorgeous, and comfortable. You say this attic What is the most fundamental thing that can exist?”

Lu Yong thought about the relationship between this and the people, thought for a while and said: "Foundation?"

"In this way, if the foundation is water, can you move it to the water?" Lu Bu asked.

"This has to be replaced by a building boat, and it is not stable!" Lu Yong shook his head and understood: "The boat needs to be planted with water, and the attic cannot stand without the earth?"

"This is exactly the truth. Then who do you think is the master of this world?" Lu Bu asked.

"We are the common people." Lu Yong understood.

"The nobles only need to control it, but you have to be at the top. It's never about which family or surname you want to win over. If you really want to get support from any family, you have to give up something, maybe land, maybe laws to change it. , But no matter what, the other party has to be strong. From the day you rely on him, you have to think about how to get rid of him!" Lu Bu looked at his son and smiled: "But as long as you master the power of this earth, no matter who it is, It’s impossible to shake your position!”

If Lu Yong had hoped and pushed Lu Bu to that position in a hurry, the turmoil would not have been too big, but Lu Bu's foundation would have been shaken, because at that time Lu Bu was only rooted in Guanzhong, not in the world.

"I know you're wrong, kid!" Lu Yong now fully understood Lu Bu's original thoughts, and lowered his head in shame.

"You will make many mistakes in your life. You can't change the past, but you don't have to be afraid if you know your mistakes and correct them. There are not many saints in this world. You and I are all mortals. If we make a mistake, we are wrong. There is nothing to be ashamed of. What we are afraid of is You have made the same mistake again and again. This time I asked you to come to Jiangdong. Within five years, I will not ask you to return to the court and make a show for the world." Lu Bu patted his son on the shoulder and smiled.

Now that the biggest problem plaguing Jiangdong has been solved by him, he believes that Lu Yong can do a good job in how to develop governance next.

"My child understands that he will live up to his father's trust." Lu Yong bowed and said.

"Let your family members come over here in a few days. After all, they have to stay here permanently. It's best if the family members don't separate." Lu Bu sighed.

His son has married his first wife in the past two years, who is Zhong Yao's granddaughter. This is what Lu Bu nodded. Although they are the first wives and they are similar in age, the son obviously prefers the Zhen family. Let the Zhong family take control.

Today I roughly exchanged my ideas. Regardless of whether he really agrees with it or not, at least for one day he will not dare to go against his will. The nobles need to use it, but from the highest position, the people who should win over are the common people and not the nobles. , The relationship between the common people is the foundation. The nobles may seem noble, but they can be replaced at any time. They cannot be left behind, but they are by no means necessary to you!

With this square formation and Lu Bu's reputation in Jiangdong, as long as Lu Yong is not too stupid, there will be no problems in the governance of Jiangdong.

After explaining these things, Lu Bu did not stay in Jiangdong for a long time. In early July, he took Cao Cao, Sun Quan and their subordinate Wen Wu on board the ship back to Jiangbei. They got on the Tai Chi chariot in Shouchun and went straight to Luoyang.

It has been almost three years since the troops were dispatched to Hanoi to pacify the world. No one in the world expected that Lu Bu could defeat the four major princes within three years. His momentum was unprecedented in ancient and modern times.

However, as the person involved, Lu Bu didn't care about this. He stood on the Tai Chi car. As the car accelerated, the oncoming wind made people feel a bit of coolness that others could not feel in this hot summer. The scenery outside the window was like a tide. Retreat to both sides, sit in the carriage, pour a cup of tea, and enjoy this rare peaceful atmosphere.

The world has been settled, and some burdens seem to have been lifted from my body, and I feel refreshed. Although there are still many things to do to govern the world, it is true that it is rare to have leisure.

On the other side, Dian Wei proudly boasted in front of Xu Chu and Zhou Tai that he had really driven a Tai Chi car, and now it naturally became his capital to show off.

Cao Cao came to Lu Bu with a teapot and sat down. Looking at the retreating scene outside the window, Cao Cao said with emotion: "This Tai Chi car is really magical. If it weren't for the rails, it would be difficult for a hundred thousand troops to stop it on the battlefield." Bar!"

"Almost, but it's difficult to make it at the moment." Lu Bu nodded, and then shook his head. He had naturally thought about a car that didn't need rails, but at least it couldn't be done for now. Any car has requirements on the road. And there is no track, so the car can easily travel through time and space. Maybe this matter can be solved in the future, but at least there is no way to do it now.

"I never thought that such a day would come. The Taiwei really opened Cao's eyes and saw how big the world is! But I don't know if I will be able to visit the Western Regions in my lifetime!" Cao Cao said with emotion.

"Brother Meng De, if you want to go, there should be a chance. In a few years, the railway track to the Western Regions may be built. By then, it will only be two or three days' journey." Lu Bu said with a cup of tea: "After the war is over, the world will It’s time to develop well and the people need to live a better life!”

When Cao Cao heard this, he also felt a little longing. He didn't feel that before, but now he is full of longing for what the future world will be like...
