Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

  Chapter 341 People's Sentiment

   In May, Diaochan gave birth to a son to Lu Bu, two sons and two daughters. For Lu Bu, this was actually perfect.

   Because of the diversion of water around these days, Lu Bu basically never returned to Chang'an, and he hadn't seen him for several months. This night was naturally full of passion.

When it was quiet, it was already dawn, Yan Shi was lying softly on Lu Bu's chest, her smooth hair was hanging down, making it difficult to see her face, but she just let Lu Bu hug her and enjoy the aftertaste of the reunion. .

"How long can you stay this time, husband?" Yan Shi's voice was soft and lingering, making people unable to help but want to integrate her into the body, whispering softly in the ear, making Lu Bu almost control it again not live.

"I'm not sure, this year's Guanzhong drought, and now the autumn harvest is imminent, the people have no food at home, and the disaster relief is urgent, and they can go out at any time." Lu Bu suppressed his urge and hugged his wife's tender and boneless body. With a sigh, only at this time will he feel that he is still very young.

  All kinds of things in Guanzhong, sometimes more tiring than fighting a war, there are so many things to worry about, and unconsciously you will neglect your family.

Mrs Yan lay on top of Lu Bu and did not speak. Although she was not as powerful as she is now, Lu Bu spent a lot of time with her. At that time, she actually hoped that her husband could go further and make their lives better. In the Central Plains, you don't have to stay in Bingzhou.

   Now her wish has come true. Lv Bu has the power to dominate the world. There are some things in the world, and their family can have them if they want, but her husband spends much less time with him.

  Sometimes people are like this, and they can't always achieve perfection. If they can achieve it, then Lu Bu may not be far from defeat, or he is old and has handed over all his rights.

  Right is also a responsibility, the moment you hold it in your hand, it is doomed to be difficult to relax.

Of course, when there are no major events, Lu Bu is actually quite leisurely, because when there are no major events, the daily affairs are basically trivial and repetitive. Just check it out regularly.

  Compared with copywriting, if you walk among the people, you may be able to detect the inappropriateness of the decree and make changes in time.

   But if something happened, like this Guanzhong drought, then Lv Bu had to come out and take all these things on his shoulders, and he didn't dare to be slighted.

"Husband, in Chang'an, wouldn't it be easier to manage? In this way, living in the people all day, although I do my best, but the people I care about are not only the size of the land, will it not be worth the loss?" Yan suddenly thought of something and looked up at Lu Bu. .

"Madam is also smart. In theory, what Madam said is naturally correct." Lu Bu couldn't help patting her after hearing this, and then smiled: "But in fact, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have no courage to act arbitrarily. , even if I'm not around, they will be more slack at best, and they certainly won't violate the yang and yin, but this grassroots level is different."

   Mrs. Yan lay on top of Lu Bu, quietly listening to his heartbeat, and asked in doubt, "What's the difference?"

   "In the past, the decrees usually came to the villages, and they were not controlled by the imperial court but by the three elders, and there was nothing to do." Lu Bu thought.

   "Then..." Mrs Yan looked at Lu Bu and was a little puzzled. If that's the case, why did Lu Bu keep hanging around among the people?

   "These three elders and Li Zhengmo don't even count as official officials, but they are local tyrants. This place in the Central Plains is different from the north." Lv Bu laughed.

   "What's the difference?" Yan Shi was puzzled.

"In Bingzhou, because there are always Hu people who may invade, no matter where you are, everyone can help each other, and you don't have so many thoughts of detours. However, in the Central Plains, without foreign enemies, the fields between these villages are more It will be gradually eroded by the three elders and lizheng. Generally, the people are mainly li, one li family, and the people in the li are either clansmen or tenants, so even if the court distributes food for disaster relief, if no one is watching, I am afraid that most of the night It can't reach the people." Lu Bu sneered.

   "Don't care about the lives of the people?" Yan looked at Lu Bu in amazement.

Although it was an old husband and wife, the demeanor from his wife's point of view made Lu Bu feel a little bit moved at that moment. His heart would naturally move, and he was quickly noticed by his wife. Unbearably flogged.

   "If rights are not restrained, people will sometimes become non-humans. For them, as long as they don't see it, they don't do it!" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

When there is a foreign enemy in poverty, people will spontaneously form a group, but when the foreign enemy is gone, after the prosperity, people's selfishness and greed will follow one after another. Lu Bu killed a group, but soon a new one would form, which is why Lu Bu stayed outside and didn't come back.

Thanks to the fact that most of the last batch of tyrants were paid off, there is now a power vacuum between the villages, and the new land tax method has also suppressed the birth of new tyrants to a certain extent, but during this disaster relief, the disaster relief of the imperial court Grain is distributed layer by layer, and the last step is to fall into the hands of these three elders and Li Zheng first.

Those tyrants in the past tended to pay more attention to their appearance and cherish their reputations, but these new three elders may not be so disciplined. Lu Bu naturally needs to be more careful. When walking around, if the people are persecuted, they will directly follow them. He said that after verification, it is directly copied and executed.

   may be a bit too much, but at this time, the slightest soft-heartedness can become an ant nest, and there is no need to be careless.

   "So, I can only feel sorry for Madam to keep the vacant room for a while. After this disaster relief is over, there will be a good year next year." Lu Bu said, his hands were dishonest again.

Yan Shi was nourished all night, and now although she is tired, her spirit is quite good, she just glared at Lu Bu angrily when she heard the words: "I know that my husband has been working hard these days, and my concubine is unbearable to be whipped. ?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu laughed, shook his head, and hugged her tighter: "No, my husband is not an animal who only knows these things, but he is exhausted, my wife, take a rest, and go to eat breakfast later. meal."

  “Hmm~”

  Shi Yan was in good spirits, but his body was indeed exhausted, and he fell into a deep sleep after hearing the words.

  The sky was already bright outside the window. After Lu Bu comforted his wife, he dressed and went out. It was naturally impossible to do something like prostitution in the daytime. After instructing Wang Yi and Diaochan to take care of the Yan family, Lu Bu went out again.

   In the past two days, Chang'an has to determine the amount of food to be allocated. Previously, the entire Weiwei Department was calculating the food and grass that needed relief, plus the loss of food during transportation, etc., all had to be carefully considered.

Now when the time comes to finalize, not only Lu Bu has to make sure, but this kind of important matter still needs to be discussed in the court. Of course, it is mainly for Liu Xie. It doesn't matter, the disaster relief is first. As for what money should be paid and what money should not be paid, they will slowly discuss. Anyway, it is Lu Bu's hand that has passed in the middle, not necessarily the approval of the officials.

  Lü Bu felt that it would be fine, but if it didn’t work, he would change. In this matter, the fewer people who deal with it, the better.

According to the results of Lu Bu's discussion with Jia Xu and others, after the disaster relief is sent from the imperial court, it has to go through the three steps of the prefect, the county magistrate, then the three elders and the Lizheng. The link is already very simple, but these three steps still need to be Some people are supervised, and it cannot be a system, so Lu Bu brought in many officials from Xiliang to temporarily set up a supervision system. At the same time, he also sent special people directly to the villages to publicize how much food the court distributed. How much, if the trees come and go too much, you can tell the people sent by the army to this area within three days after getting the food.

   If you report again after three days, it will not be easy for the imperial court to investigate. After all, if someone deliberately receives food and then goes here to complain, it will easily lead to wrongful convictions.

It is impossible to be completely correct, but Lu Bu wants to ensure that the people in general can live through this year until the autumn harvest next year. This has to be saved by God. Don’t treat yourself with another severe drought next year. If it happens again, don’t say It was Lu Bu, even if the immortals came.

In addition to the drought this year, there were two earthquakes in May. Although the scale was not large, it also shocked Lu Bu into a lot of cold sweats. The drought in Guanzhong was already very sad. If there were two more earthquakes, it would be Lu Bu's current state of mind. Will give birth to the urge to cut the sky with the Fang Tianhua halberd!

When    came to the ya office, Xun You had already taken Wei Gu to handle official business, while Jia Xu was drinking tea, saw Lu Bu, and poured a bowl for him.

"Is there any news from Fengxiao's side?" Lu Bu asked, although there is only the finishing touches on the Hedong side, but this is Guo Jia's first time hosting an event, and he is worried that Guo Jia is inexperienced Or can't hold back.

   "Don't worry, lord, there is General Huaxiong here, and you will be filial." Jia Xu took a sip of tea, then looked at Lv Bu and smiled and said, "But he is the prefect of Hedong, who is your lord going to be the prefect?"

The wealthy families in the east of the river were all wiped out by Lu Bu. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they would not be able to make any waves. At this time, the prefect of the east of the river was a fat man. There was salt in the east of the river, and there was a lot of good land. Treasure land.

   "Who?" Lu Bu really thought about this matter seriously, and when he heard this he turned to look at Jia Xu and said, "Is Wen He a good person to recommend him?"

   "No." Jia Xu shook his head, he wouldn't do such a thing easily, Lu Bu obviously hated the old ways, how could he make such a taboo? He smiled and said: "It's just that the east of the river is a fertile land, and it is also the most prosperous place in the lord's eyes, except for Nanyang, so the selection of prefects and generals here needs to be carefully considered."

   Lu Bu nodded: "The prefect does have someone he likes, Wen He thought, what about Xinfeng's commander Zhang?"

   "It's obviously something extraordinary to be valued by the lord, and since he took office, he has indeed achieved quite a bit of merit, and this person is also competent." Jia Xu nodded with a smile.
