Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 49: defected

   Chapter 339 Departure

It was already June when Wei Huan came to Chang'an, and the disaster relief had already begun. Although Lv Bu led the craftsmen to dredge the river for a long time, and even squeezed a lot of water from the Kunming pond to irrigate the farmland, there were still some in Guanzhong. Large tracts of land cannot receive irrigation, which is impossible.

This year is really dry. After the rain at the end of March, there has not been a drop of rain until now. Even if Lü Bu took the people and craftsmen to dig ditches, build water dragon carts, and divert the river water to irrigate the farmland, the benefits are only Compared with the entire Guanzhong, the area around Jinghe and Weishui is still much worse.

   Last year, the people who migrated from Nanyang launched a riot in May, and Lü Bu went there in person. He used Lü Bu's mighty power to persuade him, but he didn't do anything.

Also starting in May, Lv Bu began to work on disaster relief, sending batches of grain to places without water. Fortunately, he copied the homes of large households in Guanzhong, and now he has copied Hedong Haoqiang, so that Lu Bu is not short of food now, just how? The distribution and how to provide disaster relief have been under discussion.

The easiest way is to send it directly. This is also the most stupid one in Lu Bu's opinion. The food is too full, and the people are lazy. They hope that the years of disasters in the future will be over. Relief for work is a good choice, but it is not. Relief for work is required in all places. A large number of people in Chang'an City ran out to buy food, like mice hoarding food during the winter. Regardless of whether they could finish it or not, as long as there was food on the market, they would be bought frantically.

   This way of buying, no matter how much food there is in the treasury, it will never be enough.

In desperation, Lu Bu used Jia Xu's plan to impose restrictions on the purchase of grain in the places where the government sells grain. Each household will issue a grain plaque. With this grain plaque, every day you go to the imperial grain store to buy grain, one grain plaque can only buy grain. A bucket, the grain plate also needs to be replaced in time.

The craftsmen under Ma Jun are doing this every day, people are going crazy, and every day has to be different. In the end, Ma Jun simply designed a set of fifteen grain cards of different colors, with the monthly shortage and the monthly surplus as the cycle. Every day, you can only buy food with the food card of the color of the day, and then exchange for the food card of the next color.

  Some traders started raising prices involuntarily after seeing that the imperial court had set the quota. This time, Lv Bu did not directly manage the granary of the imperial court to ensure that the people would not starve to death. If they wanted to buy more money, it would be their business.

   Seeing that Lu Bu didn’t care, many grain merchants in Chang’an City began to raise prices wildly.

But they soon found out that the imperial court limited the grain, but it was not out of grain. It was one or two percent more expensive than the imperial court, so people would still buy it. Almost no one was there.

One madman directly increased it tenfold. One stone of millet is usually about 300 yuan, but it was sold for 3,000 yuan... Such a terrifying price also poured cold water on the hot-headed people. Everyone Or line up every day to go to the court shop to buy normal food.

   Basically, grain merchants want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, and they can make more than 10% or 20%, and no one will buy them any more.

  Someone secretly instigated the common people, saying that the court did not have much food or something. Usually, such people are caught by following the vines, and the people behind them are pulled out together, and then the property is seized. Now the court has food.

After sending away a few unlucky ones, everyone is honest, and one or two becomes one or two percent. In fact, even if you usually sell food, it is still profitable. It is not bad to have more than one or two percent. , Although it is slow, it is enough for someone to buy it, there is only so much food, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

When Wei Huan came to Chang'an, it was during the period of food price fluctuations. He could clearly feel that the anxiety brought about by the drought had not really destroyed Guanzhong. At least in Chang'an City, although everyone was dissatisfied with the government's restrictions on the purchase of food, but It's just a complaint, and the officers on the road just don't hear it when they hear it.

   Anyway, in Chang'an now, walking on the streets will not feel like a catastrophe is imminent. From this point of view, Lu Bu's management of Guanzhong can be said to be excellent.

   But the peace in Guanzhong was exchanged with the blood of countless scholars and nobles, which is unacceptable.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that in order to meet Lu Bu, he waited for three days in the yamen's office of the Weiwei's Office and did not wait.

   "Don't be angry, Master, he will not be in the office most of the time, he has already sent someone to look for it." Xun You looked at Wei Gong's ugly face, and persuaded with a smile.

   Where is this going?

   "Gongda." Wei Yan looked around and saw that there was no one around, he frowned at Xun You and said, "I think Gongda is not willing to work for him? Why not go to the Central Plains?"

   "If I were here, at least the lord would not be able to deal with the Xun family in the same way that he would deal with the Wei family." Xun You said calmly, although Lu Bu's tactics were dark, he never concealed it.

At present, Lu Bu has won Hedong. If it goes well, he may relocate to Luoyang next year. He may not necessarily move the capital, but now the Weiwei Department is already discussing who is more suitable to be Henan Yin. The next step should be Send someone to Luoyang to rebuild the city of Luoyang, and then absorb the refugees.

   At that time, Xiliang Iron Cavalry could visit Xun’s house at any time.

  He worked conscientiously for Lu Bu here, and even made some plans occasionally, which was considered to be playing an emotional card with Lu Bu. When the day came to go to the Central Plains, I hoped that Lu Bu would be able to cut Xun You's face and treat the Xun family more gently.

  Weiqi was speechless when he heard the words. This was somewhat cowardly. He looked around again and said in a low voice: "With the ability of the public, can't we plan something..."

   The last words were not spoken, but the meaning was already obvious. Can't you **** him coldly?

   "There are at least 100,000 nobles in Guanzhong who have the same plan as Bo Xu, but most of them are dead now." Xun You sighed. If he had the courage, he would probably be lying in a lonely grave somewhere outside the city.

   Wei opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. He had no reason to criticize Xun You. After all, he took the initiative to come to Chang'an to protect the family.

After all, the Hedong tyrants should face Wei to go to the banquet, but everyone died, only Wei Kuang survived. Hedong tyrants were attacked by bandits, and their homes were raided and destroyed. Only the Wei family thief did not commit any crimes, and Wei Kuang did not need to go. Anyone who asks about the reputation of the Wei family can only come to Chang'an to seek asylum.

   In today's world, there is only one person who can protect the Wei family.

   He came to ask Lu Bu to take him in for the sake of his family's compromise, so what qualifications does he have to ask Xun You to take the fate of the family and fight against Lu Bu?

   They are all miserable people.

   Looking at the scrolls of bamboo slips on Xun You's table, Wei Gong sat down on his knees again and sighed: "There seems to be no one around Lu Bu who is very useful. Even for Wei Wei, he can only rely on Gongda alone."

   Xun You suddenly felt a little sore in the corners of his eyes when he heard this. He took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes by rubbing his temples. There were many people available, but it was best not to come.

Thinking that Guo Jia and Jia Xu formed a group to sit here chatting while watching the pictures of their office a few days ago, Xun You really didn't want to go through it again, Guo Jia had better not come back in this life, as for the fat man Jia Xu... It's too hot , Mostly hiding in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade, he had better not come.

   "Bo Xun is going to work this time, do you have a favorite place? I may say something to the lord for Bo Xun." Xun You packed up his mood, looked at Wei Xun and smiled.

   No matter where you want to go, come to the Weiwei Office! I need help!

   Wei Gao sighed when he heard the words. If he had a choice, he could not choose to do things for Lu Bu. The two sides were not from the same world at all. From his background to his virtue, Lu Bu was not qualified to let Wei Gao serve as his allegiance and assistant.

   But what's the use of saying this now? As soon as the incident in Hedong happened, if the Wei family had no one to protect them, it would definitely be difficult, and it would be completely in decline within a few years.

   In order to influence the lords of Kanto, no one would take him in at this time, even if they knew it was Lu Bu's treachery.

  Hedong even if Lu Bu did not take it, the Wei family could only beg Lu Bu to take it. What kind of thing is this?

   "Let's follow the fate." Wei Hao had already made up his mind to come to Lv Bu to spend his days here, without any conspiracy.

   "That's good, I'll talk to the lord after seeing him." Xun You smiled and looked at Wei Gou, very satisfied.

   "What's the use of Gongda saying this? When can I see him?" Wei Yan frowned.

   "You, if you always look like this, it's best not to see you." Xun You glanced at him and said.

   "What's the matter, dignified and warm, the overlord of Guanzhong, incompetent?" Wei Qi sneered.

"Not really." Xun You recalled, Lu Bu was actually quite tolerant, Xun You often complained in front of Lu Bu, and occasionally slapped the table directly, but Lu Bu basically didn't get angry because of these things, He will listen to you carefully, he will listen if you have reason, and he will argue with you if you don’t~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Even if someone ignores you and keeps raising the bar, Lu Bu usually doesn’t use coercive means, but don’t expect him to ignore you. He will continue to do what he wants, what you say and say.

Regardless of his position, today's Lu Bu is actually a master of the Ming Dynasty, but even if he is a master of the Ming Dynasty, if you look like I'm giving you something to help you, you can't eat it. If Lu Bu doesn't take care of you, someone will take care of you. It's like A prostitute, you have already done this business, but you still have a high attitude when facing your patrons. Maybe someone will take this one occasionally, but definitely not Lu Bu.

Looking at Wei Xu, Xun You hesitated for a while but persuaded: "Bo Xu, you should know better than me the situation of the Wei family now, the lord is different from others, and his attitude towards the nobility is the same as that of the poor family. Here, it's best to put down your body and go to meet the lord like this. The lord will not blame you, but don't expect the lord to be more important than you. The current state of the Wei family, if there is no support from the lord, it will die. Not far."

  Weiqi fell into silence when he heard the words, and he understood the reason, but the incident in Hedong made him a little unbalanced. Lu Bu didn't embarrass the Wei family, but he made the Wei family cut off from the world. How can you make him believe in Lu Bu?

   But which is more important, family or one's own face? In fact, this question had already been answered the moment Wei Qian came to Chang'an, and Xun You obviously saw this, and worried that Wei Qian would be unsatisfactory due to his unbalanced mentality, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.
