In fact, since Lu Bu came back, everyone has been waiting for Lu Bu to make a move.

Liu Bei silently wiped his sword every day at home. Although he knew that he could not cause any real harm to Lu Bu, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, now Zongzheng, if Lu Bu really wanted to replace the Han Dynasty, he would stand in front of the emperor and wield the sword for the Han Dynasty. Use your last sword.

However, not many people still have the same thoughts as Liu Bei. After all, Lu Bu conquered the world. If Lu Bu wants to replace him, Liu Xie will have nothing to say.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Bu to take this last step. However, to everyone's expectation, Lu Bu did not replace the Han Dynasty as they imagined after he came back. He even began to restrict the royal power in all aspects. Now the royal power seems to have nothing to do with the marquis. It’s different, it’s more like an honorary title.

In addition, what Lu Bu did most was sort out the people's livelihood in the Central Plains.

The world has been conquered. In the past three years, in order to quickly pacify the world, many places have actually left knots. This can be regarded as a compromise to end the war as soon as possible. Now that the world has been established, these knots left in the past must naturally be cleared away. Reset.

The promotion of superior breeding methods, the promotion of industrialization centered on Luoyang and Chang'an, and large-scale prospecting and mining in Bingzhou were busy every day, but the imagined generation of Han Dynasty did not happen. No one could figure out what Lu Bu wanted to do. What to do.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was very busy. Cao Cao and Xun Yu were both brought to work by Lu Bu La.

Mainly calculating manpower and force. Lu Buxiang drove the railway track from Quanzhou to Lulongzhai. How much would it cost and how much manpower would be invested?

In addition, in the future, railway tracks will become a common transportation equipment in the Han Dynasty. Under the Ministry of Industry, Lu Bu established a railway department to be responsible for the construction and laying of railway tracks in various places. Currently, there is one from Luoyang to Hefei, and one to Hefei. The one to Lulongzhai, these two have been partially or even mostly completed and need a short rest, but there is another one that leads to the Western Region. This railway track is not short at the current mining and smelting speed.

In order to facilitate north-south transportation, Lu Bu expanded the channel that Cao Cao had dug before, from Guandu to Hefei and then to Dajiang. If conditions permit, he would also connect it to the north.

Although the Prime Minister's Office is currently busy, it is mainly doing two things, one is building roads, and the other is running schools.

After more than ten years of operation, there are now more than ten academies in Guanzhong, one in Luoyang, two in Shuzhong, one in Nanyang, and none in the Central Plains.

The world is settled, and Lu Bu hopes to have more academies to cultivate a steady stream of talents for the court, not just for politics. In fact, what is most lacking now is talents from the Ministry of Industry.

The Mohist Classics, which was compiled under the supervision of Jia Xu in the past, is now an important reading material in the academy, but it is not enough to cultivate qualified talents based on it.

Having had experience in governing the Wei Dynasty, Lu Bu knew very well that with the continuous transformation of Tai Chi stoves to civilian use, the world would usher in an explosive growth. By then, materials would become extremely abundant, but the people did not have the ability to control the abundant materials. background.

Therefore, Lu Bu did not rush to promote Tai Chi furnace to the people this time, but focused on building roads and enlightening people's wisdom. Naturally, there will be some overt and covert resistance. Some people suggested that Lu Bu usurp the throne, and some suggested that Lu Bu expand externally. In short, he did not want Lu Bu stop.

However, Lu Bu's approach was as steady as a mountain. He turned a deaf ear to these words and just moved forward step by step according to the plan in his heart.

In the second year after the unification of the world, Lu Bu did an unnecessary thing, which was to petition the emperor and change the Yuan Dynasty.

"What year does the Prime Minister want to change?" Liu Xie asked curiously.

"The era name is not important. I want to take this era name as the basis from this year onwards, and never change the era name in the future. Even if the dynasty changes, this name cannot be changed, so that future generations can unify the calendar!" Lu Bu said with a smile.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar. After Lu Bu conquered the world, he didn't do what a powerful official should do. He spent all day either building roads or running schools. After finally doing other things, he came here to determine the calendar for future generations?

I don't know what Lu Bu wants to do, but since the prime minister has spoken, it's not a big deal, so naturally someone started to do it.

Because this era name may be used in the future, at least Lu Bu will continue to use this era name while he is still alive, so everyone is very cautious about the era name. In the end, Hanxing was chosen as the era name, and this year was the first year of Hanxing.

"Prime Minister, I'd like to see you, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." After Lu Bu decided on the reign name, he continued to do his own thing. On this day, he was discussing with Cao Cao how much tax this year should be allocated to establish an academy, and where to locate it, when he saw the guard coming in. He saluted Lu Bu.

"Cao Cao takes his leave first." Cao Cao saluted Lu Bu and left.

"Lord." Li Ru came into the room and saluted Lu Bu. Although it is more appropriate to call him prime minister now, veteran ministers like Li Ru are more accustomed to addressing each other as lord, and Lu Bu did not change. It sounded close to him.

"Wen You is here." Lu Bu nodded, asked Li Ru to sit down and said with a smile, "Come here now, I'm afraid you have something to say."

"It's true." Li Ru winked at Dian Wei at the door, and Dian Wei stepped back knowingly.

"My lord, this is not my instigation, but my lord, have you ever thought that if your lord does not advance to the throne, maybe you are thinking of the great man, but have you ever thought that this matter will backfire on your lord?" After seeing Dian Wei retreat, Li Ru said, Then he looked at Lu Bu.

In fact, during these days, everyone was reminding Lu Bu, either explicitly or covertly, that it was time for him to be promoted to the throne. At whatever stage of life he has reached, he should do things at this stage. Lu Bu is not an indecisive person, so how could he do this in a matter of life and death? Hesitated?

It's just that people couldn't explain clearly, so Lu Bu just pretended not to hear. This time Li Ru came over, but he spoke directly, not giving Lu Bu a chance to pretend to be stupid.

"Of course I have thought about these things!" Lu Bu looked at one of the earliest advisers. The two had known each other earlier, but now they had long hair. When he was about to die, he felt a little sad in his heart: "But I have been thinking about another person. one thing."

"What's the matter?" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu doubtfully.

"Abolish the existing inheritance system of the emperor. From now on, the emperor will be the one who is capable and virtuous, instead of being passed down from generation to generation by one family. This will ensure that the world will not fall into the hands of mediocrity!" Lu Bu said in his heart Speak out your thoughts.

"This..." Li Ru was stunned by Lu Bu's idea. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Lu Bu and said seriously: "My lord, do you still remember that in the beginning, only those with both talent and virtue can serve as nobles? How about coming?"

Human nature is definitely self-interested, and a family's wealth is never willing to be given to outsiders, not to mention that it represents the rights of the world. This system that Lu Bu came up with will be changed immediately if anyone shows selfishness during the inheritance process. The original inheritance system, where the son inherits the throne from his father, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother, will never be as Lu Bu thought. This is human nature.

And facing the throne of the emperor, who represents the supreme authority in the world, how many people can guarantee selflessness? The possibility of returning to the family system is extremely high, and it can even be said to be an inevitable result.

Lu Bu nodded with complicated eyes. He had tried to deduce it countless times in the past few days, and the final result was similar to what Li Ru said. Human nature cannot stand the test in the face of money and power. Even if there are people who can, there are very few. Some, but the majority of people in this world are still mortals.

The same goes for Lu Bu, too. The reason why he regards the throne as nothing is not because he is noble, but because he has sat on it more than once. He may have been emperor longer than an ordinary person's two or three lifetimes. No matter what he gets, as long as he gets it , you won’t cherish it too much, and the same goes for rights. It may sound hypocritical, but Lu Bu actually yearns for the life of an ordinary person now.

"Let me think about it again." Lu Bu sighed, this was almost an unanswerable question.

Li Ru knew that Lu Bu had been shaken, which was a good thing, and he was not overly forced at the moment.

After watching Li Ru leave, Lu Bu had no intention of doing anything else and got up and went to the palace.

Liu Xie has obviously gained a lot of weight during this period. After all, the Prime Minister's Office has basically finished all the affairs in the world. Liu Xie only goes to court every day to listen to some memorials. However, Luoyang has a collection of special snacks from all over the Central Plains, which Liu Xie can't put down. As time goes by, you will naturally gain weight.

"The Prime Minister came just in time. These are fruits from the Western Regions. Now they have begun to be grown in Hedong. If you want to eat them in the future, you don't have to travel so far." When Liu Xie saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly waved to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took a piece of melon and took a bite. The juice burst in his mouth. It was sweet with a hint of sourness, which was really good.

Lu Bu ate silently, bite by bite, without speaking.

Seeing this, Liu Xie also ate all the fruits in his hand. Suddenly he looked at Lu Bu and said, "Is the Prime Minister ready to accept the throne?"

Lu Bu was slightly startled and looked at Liu Xie.

"I am about to reach the age of 40. I don't understand many things. Some people used to tell me that the Prime Minister was wrong, but now no one says it anymore. The hearts of the world are with the Prime Minister. No one remembers me anymore. I... ... I have long expected that this day will come when the Prime Minister can take care of me. I am very happy. The Prime Minister originally conquered the world and I am willing to give it up, but..." Liu Xie said it to the end, but his eyes were red after all.

"Can you please not drive me out of Luoyang?" Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu and said, "I'm afraid I won't be used to it elsewhere."

Lu Bu nodded silently, then sighed and said: "I am actually not ready. What I want is to share the world. From now on, the position of emperor will not be based on one family and one surname. The virtuous person will be the emperor."

"They all say that I am naive. I don't think the prime minister is even more naive than me. How could he have such an idea?" Liu Xie couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Naive? Maybe.

Lu Bu sighed: "If I succeed to the throne, the country's name will continue to be Han and will not be changed. The Han Dynasty is very good. I have been a Han official all my life and I don't want to change it."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Liu Xie took a deep breath and saluted Lu Bu.

"Did your Majesty have any other wishes before?" Lu Bu asked. He wanted to fulfill some of Liu Xie's wishes before Liu Xie abdicated.

"The Prime Minister promised me to take me to see the grassland and the sea, but I have never seen it." Liu Xie sighed.

"I understand." Lu Bu nodded, stood up and said, "I'll make arrangements now."

After that, he bid farewell to Liu Xie, turned around and walked out of the hall...
