The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

After Zhang Zhao expressed his worries, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Since Ben Hou has established a newspaper, he naturally has a way to solve such a problem. Zibu will wait and see."

Transcribing the same article requires a lot of manpower in this era, but through printing, such problems can be easily solved.

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but look forward to what kind of turmoil will be caused in the world when such an existence is established in Xuzhou. The most important thing is the influence behind this existence. At that time, Lu Bu's words will be heard by more people , and even let Lu Bu occupy the righteousness to a certain extent.

When the influence of a prince reaches this level, even scholars in the world dare not despise him in the slightest.

But thinking of the price of paper, Zhang Zhao feels sorry for him. Even if the newspaper is successfully established, how many people can get the newspaper that Lu Bu said, and most of them are members of the family, but this is enough.

At that time, public opinion will be in the hands of Lu Bu to a certain extent.

At present, Lu Bu suffers most from his reputation, and the successful establishment of newspapers and periodicals can alleviate this disadvantage to a large extent.

After Zhang Zhao analyzed the benefits of creating a newspaper, Lu Bu looked quite yearning for it, and appreciated Zhang Zhao's vision.

The price of paper is expensive, that is for people who buy it. In fact, the price of paper is not as high as they imagined. If the price of newspaper is the same as the price of paper, it will be It was easily accepted.

In this way, it can also promote the sales of paper.

As for the manpower and material resources spent, it is not worth mentioning compared to the huge profits.

Chen Lin was the head of the General's Mansion in the past, and she was considered a well-known person under He Jin's command. She was famous for her talent. She was from Guangling. After He Jin's defeat, she returned to Guangling. Recommended by Chen Deng.

Chen Lin went to Pengcheng with the mentality of giving it a try.

In troubled times, human life is worthless, and there are many talents. It is not easy to get the attention of the monarch. After coming to Pengcheng, Lu Bu's attitude can only be said to be reluctant, which makes Chen Lin a little disappointed. He and Yuan Shao have similarities. If you are friendly, if you go to Jizhou, you will definitely get attention.

But after hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Chen Lin became a little bit looking forward to it. Zhang Zhao has already mentioned the specific role of creating a newspaper, and his articles will be appreciated by more people. Although when writing articles, It will definitely be influenced by Lu Bu, which is also a very good thing for Chen Lin.

Chen Lin has heard about the matter of paper, and she came to Pengcheng for the purpose of seeing the paper. As the paper is gradually pushed away, more state and county officials will get the paper, but they want large-scale It is impossible to use paper, but using paper to create newspapers will spread to more states and counties, which makes Chen Lin feel that Lu Bu is rich and powerful.

Chen Lin heard that the Xuzhou State Shepherd's Mansion had already started using paper when delivering official documents, and the daily consumption of paper was not a small amount.

However, Chen Lin is a smart person. The State Shepherd's Mansion replaced the previous method of transmitting official documents with paper, which shows that the cost of paper is not as expensive as other people imagined. Otherwise, it would not be implemented, let alone Lu Bu. Have the idea of ​​creating a newspaper?

"Brother Kong Zhang is a talented person, and he will definitely not be buried in Xuzhou." Zhang Zhao said.

Chen Lin cupped her hands and said, "If Brother Yuanlong hadn't recommended me, I wouldn't have come to Pengcheng."

"Now, if it weren't for Yuanlong's recommendation, I would have almost missed a talent like Brother Kong Zhang." Zhang Zhao laughed.

Being flattered by others is something worth enjoying in itself, and Zhang Zhao's current status under Lu Bu's rule is not low. The key is that Zhang Zhao can talk to Lu Bu, which is something that many officials do not have.

Chen Lin had heard a thing or two about Zhang Zhao, but judging from the current situation, Zhang Zhao's defection to Lu Bu was entirely out of sincerity.

This made Chen Lin even more curious about Lu Bu. Why did Lu Bu, who has a bad reputation in the eyes of the world, be able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou and achieve such great achievements in Xuzhou? All of this will give people a sense of curiosity.

Lu Bu's words and Zhang Zhao's explanation gave Chen Lin the idea of ​​staying in Xuzhou temporarily. As long as she could do something under Lu Bu's command, it would be good for Chen Lin. If Lu Bu was not suitable for him, he would not If there is any hesitation, he will leave immediately.

Anyway, he, Chen Lin, was considered a famous person.

The next day, Chen Lin appointed Lv Bu as the master register. Chen Lin's master register was obviously different from the general master register. He would not have access to official documents, and his main task was to be responsible for writing articles.

Writing articles is exactly what Chen Lin is good at.

When the news came out, many literati in Xuzhou were amazed that Chen Lin was a child of a noble family, why did she go to the state pastoral mansion to be employed by Lu Bu.

The children of the aristocratic family still have a lot of rejection towards Lu Bu. The Xuzhou family can say that after seeing Lu Bu's various methods, they dare not have more resistance to Lu Bu, but the literati in other states and counties are different.

Lü Bu's reputation determined that very few literati were willing to take refuge in him. They would not succumb to the power in Lv Bu's hands. If they could ruin Lv Bu's reputation, they would still be happy to do such a thing.

More literati came to Pengcheng precisely because of the paper business in Pengcheng. If not, they would not have easily set foot under Lu Bu's rule.

And the attraction of paper to literati was far beyond Lu Bu's expectation.

The vassal masters have also been very active recently, especially the paper mill next to Surabaya, which has attracted the attention of a lot of masters. After learning the method of making paper, it means controlling a lot of benefits.

This also makes the princes quite depressed. Lu Bu is obviously a warrior, why can he have so many means, even the technology of papermaking? They are sure that just by making paper, Lu Bu can harvest a lot of money profit.

In the past, paper was a precious thing for literati, but setting a price for paper will always make some literati feel a little depressed.

Chapter 414 Appointment of Li Su

Paper, with its smell of copper, spread among literati, and it was Lu Bu who brought this smell to paper.

After hearing such rumors, one can imagine how Lu Bu's reputation among literati would be affected. Facts have proved that Lu Bu really doesn't value reputation as much as literati imagined.

"Slaves of three surnames", "Breach of faith" and so on were all placed on Lu Bu. If they were placed on half of the princes, they would probably be full of sorrow, but Lu Bu was still alive and kicking, and even made Xuzhou more powerful. Perhaps it was also the place where Lu Bu made the princes feel terrible.

As a powerful party, if you pay too much attention to face, you will definitely suffer, but if you don't have face, you will also suffer.

The sales volume of paper has reached [-], and the demand for paper is still great. That is to say, just by selling paper, Pengcheng has brought nearly [-] million yuan.

If this amount is known, it will definitely be even more shocking. After the paper appeared, it took only one month to achieve such an effect. If it continues at this speed, there will be one billion yuan a year. on paper.

Of course, with more and more paper, the demand may drop, but such an amount is enough to shock people.

Even just through the sale of paper, the money Lu Bu gained was comparable to Xuzhou's taxes.

In terms of collecting money, the other princes had to admire Lu Bu's means. When they scolded Lu Bu, they envied Xuzhou's strong financial resources.

The current situation in Xuzhou still makes Lu Bu quite satisfied. Only by getting out of the war as soon as possible can we have more means to deal with it when the war comes in the future. Yuan Shu clashed with the Jingzhou army and fell into the flames of war. It is difficult to get out, as long as he can go on like this, Yuan Shu needs to be more cautious if he wants to invade Xuzhou in the future.

The background determines what a prince will do in the battle. Today's Lu Bu is a powerful existence among the princes. Anyone who wants to invade Xuzhou must weigh it carefully.

If Lu Bu is pushed into a hurry, the consequences will definitely be serious. Not to mention anything else, just the cavalry under Lu Bu's command is unmatched by other princes.

The elite cavalry came and went like the wind, whizzing by, and when fighting against the enemy, they could explode with extremely powerful combat power.

For the cavalry in the Xuzhou Army, Lu Bu never relaxed his requirements, in order to keep the cavalry with high fighting spirit.

Pengcheng's affairs are busy, especially after the envoys from various parties came to the city, the state pastoral mansion has more things to deal with, and the envoys who can be sent for the princes are not easy people. What they want is to get more from Xuzhou. There are many benefits, but Lu Bu will let these people succeed easily.

In terms of resourcefulness, Lv Bu is inferior to these so-called emissaries of the princes, but under Lv Bu's command, there are Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, Mi Zhu and others. These people are not simple characters.

After receiving Lu Bu's order, Li Su hurried to the State Shepherd's Mansion. When meeting Lu Bu in the past, Li Su had a high status, but now, he came from Chang'an to seek refuge with Lu Bu, so he must be more serious in his work. Be cautious so as not to fall into the shoes of others.

"Marquis Wen." Li Su saluted respectfully.

Lu Bu waved his hand with a smile, "Weigong, how is life in the city?"

"Pengcheng is rich and rich, even Chang'an can't compare it." Li Su clasped his hands, and his words came from the heart. Chang'an is in chaos at present, not to mention other things, just the life of the royal family, which is comparable to ordinary people. The princes should be simple, but the court is under the control of the generals in the army. Even if the officials in the court are dissatisfied with this, there is no better way. When these generals do things, they have no more worries and offend them After that, the face will be death.

This is also the most unfortunate place for the big man. After Dong Zhuo's death, the court did not get more stability.

Lu Bu said: "Rebellious ministers and thieves are causing chaos to the court. It is a pity that I don't have enough troops to deal with it."

"It's the great man's fortune that Marquis Wen has such a heart." Li Su said.

In fact, what kind of mentality the princes have now, Li Su is quite clear, for their own interests, at all means, I am afraid that what the princes want most is to see the court continue to decline, so that the princes from all over the world are the actual controllers of the Han world , what you get will be more power.

No one is willing to hand over the power in their hands to others. What they need is to gain more benefits from the troubled times. As for loyalty to the big man, it is enough to talk about it. If you really do it, No prince is willing to do so.

The Great Han Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is also the reason why the princes do not dare to act excessively.

"Weigong is able to come to seek refuge with Benhou at this time, and Benhou is very pleased. Besides, Benhou and Weigong are from the same village. If there is any need, just say it." Lu Bu said.

"Since I have come to seek refuge with Marquis Wen, I will do my best to contribute to the development of Xuzhou." Li Su cupped his hands. Although Lu Bu's words were more polite, the current Lu Bu is no longer the general under Ding Yuan's tent. Now, the strength in his hands can already affect the changes in the world's pattern. Following such a monarch, one must be careful when doing things, so as not to fall into the shoes of others.

Companion to the king is like companion to the tiger. It does not mean that it is also applicable to accompany the emperor and put it on the body of the princes.

However, with the status of Lu Bu's fellow countryman, Li Su will get more respect under Lu Bu's command. This is why Li Jue came to Xuzhou, and why he proudly brought Li Su with him.

"Wei Gong will work with Zhang Zhao for the time being. If he has credit, there will be more promotion." Lu Bu said.

"Thank you Marquis Wen." Li Su cupped his hands.

This is Li Su's appointment after he came to Xuzhou. As for what he will do in the future, it depends on what kind of coping and means Li Su has when doing things.

Credit is not only what military commanders need, but also civil servants. Only by doing more things and gaining the approval of the monarch can one move to a higher position.

Li Su has heard about Lu Bu's stay in Xuzhou. It is actually quite difficult to win Lu Bu's approval. Judging from the current situation in Xuzhou, Zhang Zhao, Jia Xu and others are all capable. Seniors, their means of doing things are not comparable to ordinary people, otherwise, they would not have received such attention from Lu Bu.

Chapter 415

The development of a monarch is inseparable from the assistance of his courtiers, and an excellent courtier plays a vital role in the development of the monarch.

However, Li Su is confident that he will achieve higher achievements under Lu Bu's command. What others can do, he can also do.

After Li Su left, Lu Bu showed a pensive look, not because of Li Su's appointment, but because of the important information sent by Jia Xu after ordering someone to sort it out, which was relatively involved.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao stopped fighting, which temporarily stabilized Hebei, but judging from various sources, the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu has also entered a tense level. If it continues like this, fighting will inevitably break out between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu.

With Liu Yu's means and his prestige in the army, it would be difficult to form a confrontation with Gongsun Zan. If Gongsun could take charge of Youzhou there, it would be beneficial to Lu Bu.

Youzhou is far away from Xuzhou, but there are many enmities between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. A war between the two will definitely make it difficult for Yuan Shao to develop Jizhou better, and it will not be enough to pose a threat to Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao was a remarkable existence among the vassals. If he ignored Yuan Shao, he would definitely be accompanied by many troubles. Gongsun Zan was an important force to restrain Yuan Shao's development.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan was also involved with the Black Mountain Yellow Turban under Yuan Shao's rule. This is good news. If this continues, Yuan Shao will face an even more difficult situation.

If it was possible, Lu Bu would definitely take action to eliminate Yuan Shao without hesitation. This was a well-known prince in the late Han Dynasty. If it wasn't for his mistakes in the battle, he would even be able to dominate the world and become a prominent existence.

Any powerful enemies must be dealt with carefully, and it is best to destroy them before they grow up.

Yuan Shao's strength is strong and he has a great reputation among the princes, which also determines that there are many difficulties in confronting Yuan Shao in terms of talents.

The talents under Yuan Shao's command are not comparable to that of Lu Bu today. This is also what makes Lu Bu envious. He is also a prince. When it comes to the current strength, Lu Bu is even better than Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao's side , there are many talents to assist, and even more people go there because of their reputation. This is a big gap.

However, the current development of Xuzhou is still far beyond Lu Bu's expectations. After all, with a bad reputation, it is very difficult to have greater development when the princes compete, but the emergence of paper in Xuzhou makes even more It is good that many literati come here.

Regardless of whether these literati have the intention to do things for him, as the number of literati competes, more and more literati will go to the recruitment hall.

Perhaps the famous literati are unwilling to do things for Lu Bu, they cherish their reputation, but ordinary literati will think more, when they scold Lu Bu, what they have to admit is that Lu Bu is among the princes growing influence.

As time goes by, this situation will develop better, and Lu Bu is quite satisfied with this.

"Brother, the ginseng soup is here." Xiu'er put a bowl of ginseng soup carefully in front of Lu Bu with a blushing complexion.

Since what happened last time, when Xiuer faced Lu Bu, she had a feeling of being bumped by a deer, which was an emotion she had never experienced before. After her relationship with Lu Bu was established, these things were seen by Lu Bu. It's nothing, but Xiu'er still feels a little flustered.

Lu Bu picked up the ginseng soup with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Xiuer."

"Brother, if nothing happens, Xiu'er will leave first." Xiu'er said.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Could it be that Xiu'er feels uncomfortable when she's with Benhou?"

"No, it's not..." Xiu'er hurriedly explained, but she didn't know where to start.

Seeing that Xiu'er was nervous, Lu Bu comforted him and said, "Benhou understands Xiu'er's thoughts, so there is no need to explain too much. Today, the affairs in Benhou's hands have been handled properly. How about going out of the city?"

"Ah, good." Xiu'er said with a little surprise.

Putting on ordinary clothes and boarding the carriage prepared by the guards, Lu Bu and Xiu'er headed out of the city.

Every time Lu Bu travels, the most nervous thing is the personal guards. They are responsible for Lu Bu's safety, and they must do things more properly. Otherwise, they will be dereliction of duty. Those who are outstanding, they are elite soldiers in the army.

Among them, Lu Bu's personal guard cavalry showed extremely powerful combat effectiveness when fighting against the enemy. When other princes mentioned Lu Bu's personal guard, they also praised it.

The bodyguard team maintains a high intensity during normal training. Xu Chu will not relax in the slightest in his requirements for these bodyguards. This is an important force around Lu Bu, and their duty is to protect Lu Bu's safety. If Lu Bu was injured because of the mistakes of the personal guards, it would not be tolerated by the personal guards.

The scene outside the city is a bit busy, and there are many horse-drawn carriages passing by outside the city. Most of these are businessmen who come to Xuzhou to do business. After they buy what they want in Xuzhou, they need to return to the states and counties to convert the things into Benefit.

Especially after the successful establishment of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, many businessmen have found their backbone. Businessmen have a low status in this era, but after coming to Xuzhou, they gave the businessmen a different feeling. In Xuzhou, businessmen only need to Entering the chamber of commerce means someone with a certain status in Xuzhou, which will be of great benefit to a businessman's future development.

On the mountain, the autumn wind was blowing, and Xu Chu and a group of personal guards quickly dispersed. What they needed to do was to investigate the hidden factors that were unfavorable to Lu Bu's safety.

"Sit down." Walking to a large bluestone, Lu Bu said with a smile.

The two of them sat on the bluestone and looked at Pengcheng in the distance, which was quite interesting.

"Since I came to the Great Han Dynasty, I dare not slack off in the slightest. Even so, I still have a lot of infamy among the princes." Lu Bu suddenly said, in front of outsiders, Lu Bu is strong and brave, and has no fear of reputation. Pay more attention, and when doing things, it also seems to do whatever you want.

But who wouldn't want to have a good reputation? It's just that after Lu Bu came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't change all of this, he could only accept it, and surviving in the troubled times was Lu Bu's primary goal.

And behind Lu Bu, there is a family. He must use his own efforts to let his family live a stable life so that they will not be implicated.

In troubled times, human life is worthless. If you can't protect your family better, they will fall into a dangerous situation.
