Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 86, Scholars, Industry and Commerce, Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister

Guo Jia happened to meet Lu Bu head-on, and Lu Bu asked with a puzzled expression, "Bong Xiao? This drink is not."

Guo Jia smiled meaningfully, "General, you don't understand, business is all about steady flow, if we were to feed all these people today.

After that day, our business will definitely not be as hot as it is today, we have to whet their appetite, so that more people will come to buy drinks."

Lu Bu understood in seconds, nodded slightly, and then a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, "A profiteer, a profiteer, this is indeed a business without profiteering, I didn't expect Feng Xiao to be so treacherous."

"My lord, I was joking. This scholar, farmer, businessman, and businessman are at the end of the merchant platoon. In the Han Dynasty, no matter how rich a merchant was, his status was low and he was looked down upon by others. If it wasn't for the sake of the general, Feng Xiao would not want to show his face here and shout loudly." , Guo Jia laughed.

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lu Bu nodded with a serious expression.

Although Lu Bu did not study much, he also knew that in the eyes of ancient scholar-bureaucrats, businessmen were speculators who could not bring real value to society, and their status was very low.

On the contrary, most of the wealth of the ruling class comes from the taxes of farmers, so the status of merchants is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Guo Jia patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, "General, you don't need to think too much. From the moment I, Guo Jia, followed the general, I had already made up my mind, even if I was asked to throw my head and blood for the general.

Guo Jia didn't hesitate to do anything, it's not that far yet.

Since dealing with internal affairs, I have become more and more aware that if a county or even a country wants to be strong, it is far from enough to rely on the people to cultivate the fields. It must develop the economy in order to grow.

This is also one of the reasons why Shang Yang's reform encouraged people to do business during the Qin Dynasty.

After a busy day, we drank and chatted, and I specially prepared a jar of good wine for the general. This is a good wine that has been purified twice, and it is much better than the fine wine we sell.”

Guo Jia and Lu Bu sat down, and the two chatted about the future direction of economic development while drinking.

Luoyang City, the Imperial Palace, every late night, you can see a large number of Xiliang troops rampant in the Imperial Palace.

Dong Zhuo relied on his power and held a heavy army. Every morning, Xiliang iron armor stood around him. What Dong thief said was the imperial decree, and no one dared to disobey.

Lu Zhi, Zhu Xie and others did not want to join Dong Zhuo, so they resigned and went back to seclusion.

The whole palace was full of smog and groans, but no one dared to write a letter. Before that, the heads of several loyal and outspoken ministers had already fallen to the ground, and their heads were hung horizontally on the city gate to show their majesty.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had long been worshiped as the grand master, and he was more powerful than the Sangong, but he was not satisfied.

One day, he broke into the Empress Dowager He's bedroom, and after a storm, the Empress Dowager He granted him the title of Minister of State, under one person, above ten thousand people.

Empress Dowager He refused, and a quarrel broke out because of it. Dong Zhuo left angrily.

In fact, in the eyes of Empress Dowager He, he hated Dong Bandit the most, but Dong Zhuo was so powerful. They were orphans and widowed. In order to keep the position of the young emperor, they had no choice but to make mistakes and were repeatedly insulted by Dong Bandit.

The next day, Dong Zhuo held a military parade in the square. Nearly [-] Xiliang troops, together with the Imperial Forest Army, and the Xiyuan Army lined up neatly on the left and right, holding long knives and fluttering flags, solemn and solemn.

All the officials are mainly scholar-bureaucrats, who have always been well-read poems and books, and are gentle and refined. They have never seen such a scene, each of them bowed slightly, trembling with fright.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was riding tall, wearing a strong and sharp sword, with a machete on his waist, Guo Bang and Niu Fu were side by side, followed by more than a hundred flying bears, and slowly walked into the school grounds.

Accompanied by the left and right pennants swinging.

The three armies shouted together, "The general is mighty, the general is mighty, the general is mighty."

The sound was like thunder, deafening, shaking the ears of all officials and buzzing.

Feeling the might of the [-] soldiers, the Empress Dowager He's thin body was constantly heaving.

Dong Zhuo walked to the front in a firm and persistent manner, and said loudly, "What does the young emperor think of my [-] troops, whether they can keep the emperor's capital safe?"

The young emperor shrank into a ball, trembling uncontrollably, his complexion was pale, and his voice faltered, "Yes, yes."

"Then what does the Empress Dowager think, can I, Dong Zhuo, the [-] masters of tigers and wolves, keep the emperor's capital safe?" Dong Zhuo slightly raised his voice.

Empress Dowager He looked slightly startled, her body trembled, and a smile appeared on her face, "General Dong Zhuo, with a strong army, can certainly keep the imperial capital safe."

"Since that's the case, am I, Dong Zhuo, not worthy of the mere position of prime minister?" Dong Zhuo roared loudly, with a ferocious face and wide-eyed anger, like a mad beast, staring straight at Queen Mother He.

Empress Dowager He was frightened several times, and was so frightened that she lost control of her urine and lowered her phoenix crown in shame.

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo became more and more proud, "Haha, why should Queen Mother He be so nervous? Although I, Dong Zhuo, have a strong army, I am in order to guard the imperial capital, to protect the safety of Queen Mother He, and to protect the safety of the young emperor. Naturally, I will not touch you, and you don't have to be afraid." .

In the past few days, there have been many times when someone wanted to challenge my majesty, Dong Zhuo, if you think that I, Dong Zhuo, are not good with swords, you can let them come."

Empress Dowager He looked at the solemn soldiers with sharp and cold long knives all around, and her heart became more and more frightened.

With Dong Zhuo's current power, even if they kill their mother and son, it is not impossible to replace them. He just wants to worship the Prime Minister, so why not fulfill him.

With a calm expression on his face, he said loudly, "Since entering the palace, Grand Master Dong Zhuo has devoted himself to his duties, guarding the safety of His Majesty and the palace. He has made a lot of contributions. Today, he is worshiped as Prime Minister and granted the title of Marquis of Mei."

All the officials are shocked, the thief is ambitious, what is the virtue and ability, the official worships the prime minister,
You must know that Xiangguo is the highest position of the court officials of the Han Dynasty. Xiao He served as Xiangguo when Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was in power. After Xiao He died, Cao Shen succeeded him.

After Cao Shen, there was no Xiangguo. Dong Zhuo's move, isn't it to say that his credit is comparable to that of Xiao and Cao.

Xiao and Cao were the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. They followed Han Gaozu to conquer the world and made great achievements. How could he, Dong Zhuo, dare to worship the prime minister.

Seeing all the officials whispering to each other, Dong Zhuo turned his head abruptly, clenched the sword around his waist with his right hand, and said sharply, "Why are you dissatisfied?"

All the officials were quiet and silent, not daring to have any dissatisfaction.

At the end of the military parade, all the officials were afraid of Dong Zhuoyue, and every time they saw Dong Zhuo, they would tremble with fright.

The purpose of Dong Zhuo's military parade is also very obvious. Naturally, it is to record Mawei for all officials, let them see his majesty, and at the same time intimidate Empress Dowager He to worship Xiangguo for his officials.

From then on, Dong Zhuo entered the palace every night and slept on the dragon bed.Taste led the army out of the city and went to Yangcheng. It was February, and the villagers' communes competed, and both men and women gathered.

Zhuo ordered the soldiers to surround them and kill them all. They plundered the women's belongings, loaded them into the carts, and hung more than a thousand heads under the carts. They even returned the capital and threatened to kill the thieves. The property was scattered among the armies.
