Lu Bu's Sims

Chapter 293
In February of the second year of Jian'an (AD 197).

The wind and snow were falling, and there was a trace of fireworks in the city of Chang'an, where people came and went.

"My lord, last year the weather was good and the harvest was bumper. All the grain collected from all over the place was put into storage."

"At the same time, under strict investigation, 36 officials were involved in the secret reselling of grain seeds. In addition to Xu's family, there were also Li's and Zhao's in Chang'an."

"Only three concubines from the aristocratic family participated, and there were 13 others who came from poor families, one side was powerful, and the remaining 20 people!"

Cheng Yu, who was dressed in gray, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything, and handed over the memorial.

After Lu Bu took it and looked at it carefully, his face became more and more ugly. Most of the civil and military officials below looked a little ugly, especially Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who were representatives of the poor family, lowered their heads even more.

And Xu You sneered, with the corners of his mouth raised high, as if he was watching a joke.

After working on it for a long time, the people who participated the most were poor families and a group of local tyrants.

With a bang, Lu Bu angrily slapped the memorial on the table, staring at Cheng Yu and Baiguan.

"Okay! It's really good. After working for a long time, I really raised mice."

Shame!What a shame!
The children of the three aristocratic families were all concubines. Except for Xu You's family who was forcibly detained by Cheng Yu, the other two aristocratic families directly escorted the two of them over when they learned about it, and apologized at the same time.

It can be said that these two aristocratic families have given enough face.

The remaining thirteen officials from poor families involved were all recruited by Lu Bu himself through the Recruitment Order, and some were recommended by each other.

The last 20 people are the most exasperating!It is all those who are selected to be among the best in the imperial examination.

"Zhongde!"

Gritting his teeth, Lu Bu glared at Cheng Yu directly, and shouted, "Okay! Now that we've found out, there's no need to show mercy, kill! No one will be left behind!"

promise!
"The seven people involved in a huge case, worth more than [-] gold, not only ransacked their homes and beheaded them! At the same time, they were handed down to the general. The members of the seven families, regardless of their descendants, were not required to be officials within three generations."

promise!
All the officials gasped, and looked at their lord in shock. This time Lu Bu was really angry, and the situation has also escalated to a very serious situation.

These seven people!All of them are officials selected by the imperial examination, but they are also the most courageous. The profit of reselling the seeds in secret is more than ten thousand gold.

More importantly, their home is over!Within three generations, you are not allowed to be an official under Lu Bu's rule, and your reputation will be rotten. Even if you go to other princes, they will also dislike the character of your seven families.

Unless your family has talents comparable to Zhang Liang and Xiao He, otherwise it's over.

Among the incidents involved, there were only three people who were concubines from aristocratic families, and the rest were from poor families and powerful.

In fact, this has been the case in all dynasties. The living conditions of the aristocratic family are superior, and most of the students who study are cultivating moral character. The aristocratic family has definitely worked hard.

It is even said that there are very few real bastards and dandies from aristocratic families. Even if there are half of them, most of them are bastards, otherwise the aristocratic family will definitely break your leg.

But poor families and powerful people are different. Some people have lost the honor of their ancestors and want to restore their ancestors, while others are bent on getting ahead.

It is difficult for the poor and the powerful to study, relying on the family, or currying favor with the family, or currying favor with the officials, in order to study.

Under such behavior, they almost waste most of their time on the way to study, and they have received countless cold eyes, and their moral character is slightly worse.

As the old saying goes, troublemakers have come out of poor mountains and rivers since ancient times!This sentence is true, it is not that they are cunning by nature, but that no one has ever taught them these things, how could they be compared with the children of aristocratic families who never worry about life or their future official career.

"My lord, in this way, is it for the imperial examination?"

Under Lu Bu's strict order, it directly made one's heart palpitate. Some of them cautiously warned, and Lu Bu laughed at himself after hearing this.

"Hehe! Do you have to make an exception just because you are a talented scholar from the imperial examination?"

"No! This general will not only show no mercy, but also tell them that the words and deeds of talented people selected by the imperial examination will be watched by the whole world!"

"This will give them a place to display their talents, not let them come here to make money!"

angry!This time Lu Bu knew that if he didn't manage it well, the imperial examination would be abolished.

Don't look at the scandal that was exposed this time, it may have a bad impact on the imperial examination, but it is mutual.

It will indeed have a bad impact on the imperial examination, but it also makes officials selected by the imperial examination wary.

As long as they are officials who have been promoted through the imperial examination, they will feel that someone is secretly staring at them from time to time, especially when many people are secretly mocking and watching them make mistakes.

There may be aristocratic families among them, but more of them are poor and powerful families of the same origin, and even more are students who took the imperial examination together with them at the same time.

Why can't I fail you in the exam, you can do it, okay!I just watched you making jokes.

Work hard, as long as you don't make mistakes, after going through the imperial examination for about ten times, a new group will be formed.

This group all came from humble and powerful families, which interrupted the monopoly of the aristocratic family, and at the same time interrupted the system of recommending officials.

This is the long-term development of the imperial examination.

"Zhongde, keep an eye on it. At the same time, I sent a message to Tian Feng to tell him to keep an eye on it in Jizhou. Spring is coming soon. Don't be careless. I'm afraid that someone is not afraid of death and wants to reach out secretly."

promise!
"My lord, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions, our envoys have already opened up 31 countries, and only five countries remain."

"Mr. Zhang sits in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and the envoys of the Western Regions are all in admiration. My lord opened the Silk Road again. This achievement should be engraved in the annals of history."

Although there was bad news, there was also good news, especially after hearing that Zhang Yang was in charge of the once-abandoned Protectorate of the Western Regions, Lu Bu also smiled and nodded.

"Okay, there is no need to rush this matter. After all, the countries in the Western Regions have not been under the power of my big man for many years, so just take it easy."

promise!
"Our salt, tea, silk, etc. are being sent to the Western Regions in a steady stream."

After hearing the report from the people below, Lu Bu smiled, but at the same time, he couldn't help saying in a condensed voice, thinking of something in the past: "Businessmen are chasing profits, so be careful to check the checkpoints along the way, especially the taxation of merchants! This is a service to you and Wenhe. Let's discuss it together with Gu Yong."

"Businessmen don't engage in production, but can make huge profits through speculation. They should charge heavy taxes, but there must be a limit, so as not to make businessmen afraid of doing business."

"Don't worry, my lord. We can set up a commercial tax under the lord's rule. Doing business in Kuazhou is another commercial tax. As for the lands outside the Han Dynasty, such as the Western Regions and grasslands, they should be heavily taxed."

Guo Jia and the others spoke cautiously, and Lu Bu smiled after hearing this.

As a businessman, he had known it for a long time, because Zeng Jin knew all this clearly in Guanshi, and in Bingzhou, Lu Bu also organized a business trip to make huge profits by transporting swap items.

Merchant is a double-edged sword!The plan is good, he used to make a lot of money when he was in Bingzhou, otherwise how did his private soldiers get here.

You must know that Lu Bu has been revived from a poor family that was almost wiped out.

"By the way, send envoys at the same time, and buy war horses at the border."

Now in the Central Plains, Lu Bu's family dominates and seems to be the number one prince in the world, but the pressure is not small at all.

After Yuan Shao's defeat, the princes of the world secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Shu was destroyed, and they no longer had to worry about Yuan's threat.

But what followed was Lu Bu's threat. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two princes, had clearly joined forces, and almost all military defenses were aimed at Lu Bu. On the contrary, there were only a small number of troops defending their bordering territories.

Fortunately, Liu Bei, a shit-stirring stick, appeared in Jingzhou, otherwise it would be hard to say whether Liu Biao would be tempted.

"Keep an eye on Yizhou."

Looking at the situation in the world at this moment, Lu Bu also frowned. Sun Ce had almost swept across the entire Jiangdong, and Liu Bei's actions in Jingzhou made him even more wary.

"Wenhe, spread rumors in Yizhou on the grounds of Liu Bei's new military adviser, Chen Gong."

When talking about Chen Gong, Lu Bu couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, shook his head and looked at the officials and spoke slowly.

"Let's say that Chen Gong has the wisdom of heaven, and Liu Bei knows that this person is like a dragon entering the sea and a tiger entering the forest."

"And before Liu Bei asked Chen Gong to become an official, Chen Gong had arranged for Liu Bei a strategic policy for the whole world, first to take Jingzhou, and then to seek Yizhou."

uh uh!All the officials looked at their lord in astonishment, and some people suddenly realized that their lord was going to muddy the water.

But they didn't know that Lu Bu felt a faint sense of guilt for Chen Gong who had never seen him before. This move was to make Chen Gong famous and let everyone in the world know the name of Chen Gong.

After all, in the original history, Lu Bu was responsible for Chen Gong, maybe Liu Bei will obey him this time.

Erma, he is really afraid that Yizhou will be eaten away by Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei can play the banner of Liu Biao's disobedience in Jingzhou. Although Liu Zhang in Yizhou has no stains, his old man Liu Yan has it.

Old boy Liu Yan's disobedience has long been there, and even Liu Biao has scolded him.

If there is a chance, Liu Bei will definitely show his banner and turn against Jingzhou again.

"My lord, Chen Gong should not be underestimated."

Listening to Lu Bu's words, Jia Xu and Guo Jia showed serious expressions on their faces. They both believed that what Lu Bu said was true. After all, they both knew that their lord secretly had eyes and ears to scout the world.

After Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other, they all showed serious expressions. Maybe Chen Gong really planned this way.

If their lord captures Yizhou, Liu Bei will use it to go to Shu to help Liu Zhang, who is also a clan member of the Han family, but no one can say who this family belongs to in the end.

Of course, the possibility of Lu Bu attacking Yizhou is too small right now. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are eyeing each other, and the next time the Central Plains War will break out more.

At that time, the three major princes of the Central Plains will fight for hegemony. As long as Liu Bei wins the territory of Jingzhou, he will have a chance at that time. Should he attack Lu Bu together?Or send troops to Yizhou?
No one can say what will happen tomorrow.

Lu Bu looked at the dignified Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Although he was a little stunned, he didn't explain too much. It is better to pay attention to Chen Gong than to underestimate it.

And he always believed that Chen Gong was not a weak person, and he was very good at almost killing Cao Cao over and over again in his previous life.
