Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 2 Chapter 151: Chaotang

Earthquakes are something that a person can encounter once or twice in a lifetime. Therefore, most of the time, there is no awareness of prevention.

When the earthquake struck, Lu Bu was sleeping with Diaochan in his arms when he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The roof collapsed first. Lu Bu quickly turned over to protect Diaochan, and then quickly broke away the debris that had hit him. Putting on clothes, then he simply wrapped a few pieces of single clothes and dragged Diaochan out of the courtyard.

"Wait here, don't run around!" The ground was still shaking, and Lu Bu didn't dare to neglect. After putting down Diaochan, he quickly rushed into Yan's room, carried the mother and daughter out together, and then took Wang He took it out, and he was a little relieved.

"Master, are you all right!?" Dian Wei hurriedly kicked open the backyard door, and rushed in with Ma Chao and his guards.

"Save the people!" Lu Bu pointed to the surroundings. They were all fine, but the servants and maids were injured a lot, so Dian Wei and Ma Chao took their guards to save the people.

"Madam is here to take care of me, I'll take care of official business!" Lu Bu and Yan shi instructed.

"Don't worry, husband, my concubine understands!" Yan Shi nodded, hugged her crying daughter, and led Wang Yi and Diao Chan to instruct the uninjured maids to bandage the injured.

I don't know how long the earthquake lasted, but even Lu Bu's house collapsed, let alone the homes of ordinary people.

Lv Bu first took Jiang Xu and Jiang Jie to the palace, and recruited the captains of the two north and south palaces. After confirming that Liu Xie was all right, Lv Bu ordered the captains of the two palaces to protect Liu Xie, and then Lv Bu called the five schools of the Northern Army, Yulin, Hu Ben and other forbidden troops in the city began to quickly rescue the people in the city.

At the same time, Lu Bu also sent people out of the city overnight to determine the scope of the earthquake and the specific damage.

Most of the people who were busy all night were under the command of the Weiwei Mansion, and the efficiency was not unpleasant. When the earthquake stopped, at least Chang'an City had settled down and began to recover in an orderly manner.

"The imperial court persecuted the nobles and celebrities, and provoked the wrath of the sky. There is this wrath of the sky. Your Majesty, this minister thinks that this reform in the army should be cancelled as soon as possible to eliminate the wrath of the sky!" Above the court, the rare officials who went to the court began to start. The crowd was angry, Lu Bu went too far!

However, no one of the three public figures like Zhou Zhong, Zhao Qian, Chunyu Jia, and Ma Riju made a statement. Now that Lu Bu's general situation has become a reality, it would be a fool's dream to beat him down with a natural disaster.

As for Lv Bu's newly implemented laws, which are considered to be an enhancement or supplement to the land tax, they are supervised and implemented by the military in various places. At present, they have only been passed on and have not yet been implemented. Therefore, not many officials know about this matter. Waiting until next year's fall harvest.

"What is persecution when disaster strikes this day? This is supposed to pay taxes to the imperial court. How could it become persecution?" Lu Bu's voice came from outside the palace, and the ministers shut their mouths instantly. You can smell the needles falling!

A faint sense of oppression spread as Lu Bu stepped into the hall. This was the first time that Lu Bu was in the court after he took power. It was also the first time that many people faced Lu Bu head-on. They felt the sense of oppression from Lu Bu. And the minister Tan lost his voice the moment Lu Bu came in.

"See Your Majesty!" Lu Bu went straight to His Highness and met Liu Xie first.

"Lu Qing quickly flatten, what's the matter?" Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help him, looking at the dust and blood on Lu Bu's body, and forming a sharp contrast with the ministers above the hall.

"Just when the ministers attacked the last general here, the last general is leading the soldiers to rescue the people and calm down the commotion caused by this disaster." Lu Bu got up and looked at the courtier who spoke before: "I'm also very curious. …”

"I am Doctor Guanglu Zhou Chang!" Although the courtier who just spoke knew that Lu Bu was not easy to provoke, but since he had put it right at this time, he could not show cowardice.

Lu Bu nodded: "How did Dr. Guanglu determine that this natural disaster is related to change? Is it a dream?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Chang suffocated.

"That's because Doctor Guanglu has a prejudice against Ben Marquis and wants to use this natural disaster to blame me?" Lv Bu pointed to heaven and said, "Even if the natural disaster is caused by people, Ben Marquis is only a mere Jiuqing, and this weight is probably not enough. Yiping Tianwu, Taiwei Zhou, are you right?"

At the end, Lu Bu turned his gaze to Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong's expression changed slightly, knowing that Lu Bu was taking Zhou Chang's account to himself, he nodded silently and said, "What Wenhou said is very true."

I wanted to hide it, but saw that Lu Bu was just staring at him quietly, Zhou Zhong was a little uncomfortable looking at it, he could only sigh, and bowed to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, this disaster is coming from heaven, when This is due to the lack of morality of the minister, please allow the minister to resign from the post of Taiwei."

Zhou Chang was the younger brother of Zhou Zhong's clan, and it was the first time that Lv Bu was in charge of the government. This time he wanted to establish his prestige, and Zhou Zhongzheng was chosen by Lv Bu because of Zhou Chang's affairs, which was quite unfortunate.

Zhou Chang's complexion turned pale. Although he knew that Lu Bu was strong, he didn't expect that the other party would directly shove him as soon as he came up.

Liu Xie retained a few words, and finally approved Zhou Zhong's resignation.

For this meeting, Zhou Zhong's resignation seems to be just the beginning.

"Wen Hou is brave in the world, but this is not the same as governing the country. Since Wen Hou returned to Chang'an, he has acted and administered government without passing the imperial court. Is it too oblivious to His Majesty?" Tai Chang Zhao Wen frowned.

"The matter of the land tax has been mentioned by the Taishi and last year, and there is a lot of discussion in the court, but it has not been implemented until this year, and I have discussed this matter with Your Majesty long ago, and I can only do it with His Majesty's permission! What's wrong? ' Lu Bu asked back.

Zhao Wen frowned and said, "Even so, the government has its own rules and regulations..."

"Zhang Fa?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Zhao Wen and said, "Tai Chang is referring to the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Guanzhong since last year?"

"This……"

"The rules of the imperial court should put the people first, too often. I think you should think about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty before they set the rules of the imperial court with me, but why even such trivial matters as disaster relief and flood control are so important. If you can't do it well, it's not as useful as a martial artist like me?" Lu Bu looked at Zhao Wen and smiled.

"At that time, it was the Grand Master who was in charge."

"That's why this general has learned from the loss of the Grand Master's administration, and has today's Guanzhong scene." Lu Bu retracted his gaze and said.

Situ Zhao Qian frowned and said, "But I don't know what Wenhou said, what is the loss of the master?"

"Do things first, then discuss." Lu Bu looked around the court and said: "After all, there are too many selfish people in the court, and if you want to take care of everyone, you may not be able to implement it when the people in Guanzhong are dead. What does Situ think? ?"

"Dare to ask Wei Wei, who is the selfish person Wei Wei said?" Zhao Qian looked at Lu Bu with a bad expression on his face.

"Situ thinks that I am talking about who I am talking about." Lu Bu looked at Zhao Qian and smiled.

"Lu Bu, don't think that with some military power, you can humiliate famous people!" Zhao Qian shouted angrily.

"Oh?" Lu Bu said with a smile, "I've been humiliated, how are you doing?"

In an instant, the temperature above the entire hall seemed to drop several degrees all of a sudden, Zhao Qian's face turned red, but facing Lu Bu's icy gaze, he couldn't utter a single word.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something to discuss with the courtier today!" Lu Bu bowed to Liu Xie and said, "As far as I know, this time the Earth Dragon has turned over, affecting the entire Jingzhao, and nearly 100,000 people have been affected by the disaster. It is urgent!"

Liu Xie nodded: "I don't know how Wei Wei is going to do disaster relief?"

"There are enough manpower, but there is a shortage of food and grass. There are too many people affected by the disaster, and the government's stockpile of food is not enough. Therefore, I came here today to discuss with Your Majesty and the ministers whether I can donate this year's salary to help the victims. ?" Lu Bu bowed.

The salaries of hundreds of officials in the dynasty are not a small amount, they almost account for the tax of Jingzhao for a year. Now the place where the imperial court can directly collect taxes is mainly Guanzhong. The official salary will consume the entire Jingzhao tax!

The most important thing is that with the current territory, there is absolutely no need to support the court!

Just like before, it was enough to run the entire Guanzhong land with just Lu Bu's men. In this case, he would have to spend the same amount of tax as a Jingzhao to support a group of idlers who would only be arguing in the courtroom.

It's not that these people are really useless, but it's useless to support them right now. There are a few people with high morals and respects here to support the court without receiving salaried salary. It's good to restore the functions of various ministries when the site gets bigger in the future.

"This..." Liu Xie was a little at a loss, looked at the courtiers and said, "What is your general opinion?"

"Your Majesty, all the officials of the imperial court are doing their best for the sake of the country's society. The imperial court should pay salaries. Even if they want to save the people, they should first let the officials have food before they can have the strength to save the people from water and fire. !" Zhao Qian frowned.

"Situ's words are indeed justified." Lü Bu looked at Zhao Qian: "However, since the age of three, due to the failure of the three princes, the disasters have been repeated, and the inaction of hundreds of officials in the court has led to starvation in Guanzhong. Previously, for disaster relief, the government treasury used money and grain. It has already been exhausted, this year's salary, even if you don't want it, you can't give it out!"

Anyway, Lu Bu came today to save this expense. In fact, Baiguan did not agree, and the result was already decided.

"You..." Zhao Qian glared at Lu Bu, and he still didn't understand that Lu Bu planned to deduct the money from the beginning: "Wen Hou did this~www.readwn.com~ It will only chill the hearts of celebrities in the world. ."

For people at the level of Sangong, even if they don't have a salary, the family's property is enough to cover their expenses, but who would think too much money? Besides, this is what they deserve, so why deduct it?

"Situ don't have to worry, there are many famous people in the world who are cold-hearted to me, it's okay to have more!" Lu Bu said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo's death has already explained a lot of problems, at least it is impossible for those famous names to take a fancy to him. If so, what if they offend him? Now Lu Bu's target to win over is the Han Shi, the concubine, or the small families such as the Xiliang families. If the big families are to go with him.

Lu Bu's purpose was clear, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were obviously not prepared to compromise on this matter, even if a courtier came out to resign.

In this regard, Lu Bu directly agreed that the court would not need so many people now, it was just right to leave, and he could put his own people up. His attitude of hobbling and meat suddenly made many people who had resigned regretted it...
