  Chapter 193 Li Ru's Irritability

  Li Ru has always had an inexplicable sense of irritability during this time, which lingers in his heart.

  Obviously everything seems to be proceeding according to my own pace, but I still feel that there are still some problems, which makes me uneasy.

  Now Li Ru is much thinner than when he first came to Luoyang. After all, not only the entire government, but also the eating and drinking of the Xiliang Army needs Li Ru to worry about it.

   There are many things about the Guandong gentry, and now Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying are added, which makes Li Ru a little uncertain...

  Li Ru has never encountered this kind of situation before, and he doesn't know whether Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying's current situation is good or not.

Originally, Li Ru was worried that Dong Zhuo would fall into a trap of tenderness and would not be able to get up, but at present, after Li Ru's observation, Dong Zhuo did not have much emotion for the beauties around him, at most he regarded these beauties around him as a kind of personal belongings …

   In this way, Li Ru is basically a little relieved. After all, as long as you don't have feelings for the beauties around you, no matter how interesting things are, there will be a day when you get tired of them.

   And now Dong Zhuo seems to have become—

   Unusually sharp? Extraordinary decisiveness?

  Li Ruzhen doesn't know how to describe Dong Zhuo's situation now. If he insists on a simple term, it seems that he has a direct instinct for some extremely troublesome things?

Dong Zhuo's current decisiveness sometimes surprises Li Ru, and it seems that his thinking is also very sharp. Sometimes, even without Li Ru talking and explaining, Dong Zhuo himself already understands and can make correct decisions. Incomparable decisions, such as the move of the capital, were actually Dong Zhuo's final decision.

Moving the capital was originally just an idea of ​​Li Ru, but after all, moving the capital is more difficult. Li Ru had prepared a lot of reasons and explanations for Dong Zhuo's various problems when he and Dong Zhuo made plans, but there was no answer. Thinking that Dong Zhuo just thought about it for a moment, and he didn't even ask a single question, so he agreed directly...

This can't help but remind Li Ru that when Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying were just a small official in Xiliang, he was just a few hundred people who commanded Habayashiro. He was like this at that time, with such a strong courage. It made Li Ru feel as if he saw the ambitious Dong Zhuo back then.

  However, what troubled Li Ru was that Dong Zhuo's temper became more and more irritable, and sometimes smashing things was considered light. Several of Dong Zhuo's servants were executed for various reasons...

  Maybe it’s because there are so many things going on now, and the pressure is too much.

Nowadays, Li Ru himself occasionally feels that his physical strength is slightly exhausted. After all, judging from the current overall situation, it seems that he is not very optimistic. As a leader, he is just silently bearing the pressure and getting angry, not Giving Li Ru more intervention and complaints has made Li Ru feel Dong Zhuo's full trust in him.

  For example, in the current situation, some rural tyrants near Luoyang City seemed a little wrong to see the limelight, so they started to search for food everywhere, and began to be reluctant to sell the food they had stored.

  After all, now Luoyang City not only has to feed the people in its own city, but also squeezes out food and grass to supply Dong Zhuo's soldiers from Xiliang and Bingzhou.

   Now there is not much food left in the public warehouses in Luoyang City, and most of the folk food is stored in some big and small powers near Luoyang, and even in the Wubao of aristocratic families.

These big and small rural tyrants near Luoyang City, when the spring plowing is about to start, sit on the ground and raise the price, hold on to the grain and sell it, and raise the current grain price very high. What's more, these people have more or less started to look down on Dong Zhuo...

  At that time, Li Ru wanted to catch a few small ones and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but he still felt that this could not completely solve the problem, so he simply stepped out as a winger and sent people to Beimang Mountain to touch gold.

Because Beiman Mountain has always been known as a treasure land of geomantic omen, and because the mountains in this area are good in soil, and not too far from Luoyang City, several places are surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is an excellent choice for wealthy families to choose a private house behind them.

  The Han Dynasty still attached great importance to the death, and even sold the land to buy a decent-sized tomb. Therefore, the gold content in the ground is actually very good.

  Actually, the most critical part of this trick is not how much can be dug out, but a strong signal to these big and small powerhouses near Luoyang...

   After all, many powerful and powerful people in the countryside of Luoyang now choose Beimang Mountain as their private houses. Since these guys make living people hungry, then there is no need to think about the peace behind them! Since the price of food is going to be raised, let the money of the dead be used to buy the rations of the living!

  The effect is very obvious. In the past two days, there have been a lot of people asking for favors. Li Ru all dismissed the matter by only taking the land of no man...

Thanks to He Jin and Yuan's family who have disturbed Luoyang City these few times, it is the easiest excuse to let some documents go wrong just right. They were speechless for a long time.

   If the smarter ones get to know each other earlier, Li Ru will raise his hands a little bit more. As for those hardliners who resist to the death, there will always be a day of reckoning.

The biggest worry facing Li Ru now is that he is afraid of being held back by the Kwantung Allied Forces when he is moving the capital. Once he is held back, he will have to be forced to join the Kwantung Allied Forces in Luoyang, which is not very good. Fight on the ground.

  This is what Li Ru is unwilling to accept.

   But at present, it seems that they are still within their control. The envoys sent to delay the process of the Kwantung Allied Forces have arrived in Suanzao, and the next step is to split up to find Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu...

  As long as the overall time for moving the capital can be controlled within three months, then the Kwantung Allied Forces will be left with an empty Luoyang city!

  By that time, from Hulao Pass to Tongguan, what will be left to the Kwantung Allied Forces will be a barren field, with no human habitation, no food and grass, and all the food and clothing expenses of the Kwantung Allied Forces will have to travel long distances...

  By then, the seemingly huge Kwantung Allied Forces will become a big joke...

  Although doing so may cause the death of many innocent people, Li Ru is also helpless. This may be the reason why he is somewhat inexplicably irritable these days. After all, his decision will directly determine the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people.

But this is indeed the fastest way. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of letting these people in Kanto go left and right in the future, one in the east and one in the west, it is better to smash the foundation of the entire Kanto at once. !

  Li Ru's gaze is gloomy. Now that the **** has fallen, it depends on the opponent's response...

   There is also a reason why it is called Li Rudu.

The time to move the capital is in February... The second month of the ancient lunar calendar is usually the spring plowing season. The so-called February 2, when the dragon raises its head, the earth recovers, the vegetation sprouts, and the farmers are about to spring plow and sow seeds... At this time, the capital is moved and all the population is moved to In Chang'an, what was left was not only the farmland that had been abandoned for a year, but even the large area of ​​Luoyang area that was barren in the next ten years... until Cao Cao set up four piannongzhonglang generals, Two captains of Dienong, three lieutenants of Dienong...
