The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Mi Zhu is in charge of the Xuzhou businessman's affairs, Mi Zhu is like a fish in water. Mi Zhu, who was born as a businessman himself, has more responses when dealing with businessmen. Mi Zhu's status has been further improved.

Being in charge of the businessman's business, Mi Zhu will be despised, but when Mi Zhu is responsible for something that the princes yearn for, Mi Zhu's identity will not be so simple.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Zizhong is the God of Wealth in Xuzhou, Zizhong don't want to turn your elbows out."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do my best so that Xuzhou can take the opportunity to accumulate more wealth." Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, with Mi Zhu's intelligence, how could he fail to understand the other meanings in Lu Bu's words.

It is reasonable for the aristocratic families to have connections with each other. No one can guarantee that the family they belong to will be able to prosper for a long time. Sometimes, other families still need help from it. .

This is also the support between the noble families. When the status of the Mi family in Xuzhou becomes more and more important, it is inevitable that more people from the noble families will come to the door. Among the noble families, this kind of alliance is extremely important, especially It is more helpful for this family to be able to marry with a powerful family.

Apart from other things, just the current achievements of the Mi family are beyond the reach of ordinary families in Xuzhou.

And the marriage between the Mi family and Lu Bu made the relationship between the Mi family and Lu Bu even closer.

From the actions of the Mi family, we can better see this aspect. It is conceivable how difficult it is for the Mi family to betray Lu Bu. The marriage between the Mi family and Lu Bu is indeed for the benefit of the family, but The current choice of the Mi family is correct.

"The artisan's workshop outside the city is an important place in Xuzhou. Soldiers in the army must strictly control it to prevent unidentified people from intruding into the artisan's workshop." Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao should worry more about this matter."

"Here." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

By mistake, he became an official under Lu Bu's rule. Originally, Guo Jia, like other princes, was not optimistic about Lu Bu, but after one incident, Guo Jia had to admit that Lu Bu's methods were Elusive.

The craftsman's workshop is where Xuzhou's secrets lie. On this point, Xuzhou's civil and military generals have no doubts.

On the battlefield in Yanzhou, the gunpowder made by the Xuzhou craftsman workshop played a huge role. In one day, an important city was broken. Such a rapid war was of great significance to Lu Bu.

Not to mention other things, just the offensive methods displayed by Lu Bu will make the princes have more fear, and they don't even dare to provoke more when facing Lu Bu.

Just imagine how effective this kind of sharp weapon for attacking the city would be if it were used on them. After the arrival of the envoys of the princes, it is reasonable to have a lot of inquiries about the situation in this regard.

After obtaining such a sharp weapon, they will have more convenience when attacking the city in the future. They don't need to pay more soldiers' lives in the process of attacking the city, and the time of the war can be shortened as much as possible. Imagine the benefits It will make it difficult for the princes to sustain themselves.

And Xuzhou's protection of such secrets is obviously extremely strict. When the princes cannot obtain such sharp weapons through formal channels, they will inevitably take other actions.

In Lu Bu's hands, he controlled the Spike soldiers. How could the other princes have no other means in secret, not to mention other things, just Momen who was unwilling to be lonely was a good illustration.

The big man has lasted for hundreds of years, the land is vast, the resources are abundant, and talents come forth in large numbers. I don’t know how many talents have not been valued. When these people see the changes in the current situation and stand up to get a piece of the pie, it will undoubtedly make the situation of the whole world have a big change. More confusing changes.

The princes fight for their own interests. It is inevitable for these people to take other actions in order to realize their ambitions. The key is what kind of means they have to deal with if they want to gain benefits.

For example, the Mo Sect is divided into three branches, but the Mo Sect is not weak in terms of strength. If the Mo Sect helps a prince with all its strength, it is extremely obvious what it means to the prince.

Lu Bu controls the production method of Hundred Refined Weapons, but Momen's mechanism skills cannot be underestimated. This is why Lu Bu tried his best to maintain a better relationship with Momen, even if he could not get Momen Fully support, learn more about the Momen, and get more weapons belonging to the Momen, which will be of great help to the future development of the war.

Just the power in his hands will not make Lu Bu feel satisfied. When he first came to Dahan, Lu Bu thought about how to survive, how to occupy a place among the princes, and how to make his family have a better life.

Now Lu Bu's goal has gradually changed. His understanding of some things is an important guarantee for him to gain a firm foothold among the princes. It can be seen from the development of Xuzhou before that when these methods are really used At that time, there were benefits that other princes could not imagine.

The steady development of Xuzhou will definitely have a great influence on the future.

After giving instructions, everyone left, but Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Mi Zhu stayed behind.

Xuzhou is the top priority under Lu Bu's rule. There is no doubt about this at present. When the Xuzhou army wins more victories on the battlefield, Xuzhou's stability will be more guaranteed.

Chapter 428 Has Achieved

Xuzhou, the place of the Four World Wars, can have today's stability, which has a lot to do with Lu Bu's dedication.

When Xuzhou gradually develops stably, it will become the core of Lu Bu's rule. Even though there are no dangerous checkpoints around Xuzhou as guards, with Lu Bu around, there is a greater possibility of Xuzhou's stability.

The victories of the wars have given the people of Xuzhou enough confidence in Wen Hou. They believe that under the leadership of Wen Hou, Xuzhou will have more stability in the troubled times.

And the benefits that Xuzhou's long-term stability can bring are also obvious. There are endless battles among the princes. When the people develop and can get more stability under Lv Bu's rule, they will definitely go to Lv Bu's rule one after another. Prosperity under the rule also provides an important foundation.

In troubled times, there is no doubt that the role of the common people is important. When more common people can be used by Lu Bu, it is the real rise.

For the power of ordinary people, other princes may not pay more attention to it, because in their eyes, aristocratic families are the key, but when the power of more people is gathered, the role that can be played cannot be underestimated .

Any prince who ignores the existence of the people will inevitably suffer more hardships.

It is a small number of aristocratic families who occupy more resources. However, when the power of the people can be better used by the princes, the princes will show more powerful power.

However, Lu Bu currently attaches great importance to the people, but he can't show it more. He can only try his best to keep the people from being disturbed more after paying taxes. Even so, it is enough for the people.

As for allowing more common people to own their fields, judging from the current situation, it is too difficult. The aristocratic and powerful families occupy too many fields. If they want to take these fields from them, they will offend Maybe it's a wealthy family in the whole world.

It is good that such a move has the support of the people. The key is how influential these aristocratic families will have after they unite.

Standing on the opposite side of the aristocratic family, there are obviously many disadvantages for Lu Bu's development. In this regard, Lu Bu still has a clear understanding, so in the process of developing and ruling, Lu Bu and the aristocratic family still maintain the same relationship. good relationship.

It's not that Lu Bu is willing to do this, but the situation forces him to do so. When the time is right, Lu Bu will definitely take other actions.

As for Lu Bu's true thoughts, the courtiers under his rule will naturally not know, but at present, Lu Bu can bring stability to Xuzhou and let more officials see the future, which is enough.

"The three of you are the important support of this Marquis in Xuzhou. When I get married, many things may not be taken care of, so the three of you need to worry about it." Lu Bu said.

The three hurriedly said yes, even with Jia Xu's heart, after hearing Lu Bu's sincere words, he felt comfortable all over, and what it meant for a courtier to be valued by the monarch, Jia Xu naturally is clear.

Jia Xu is shrewd, and to make a shrewd person feel more grateful, what is needed is the means of the monarch.

Jia Xu's strategy has always been hidden in the dark, not known to more people, so that there will be no more troubles.

It was Lu Bu's coercion to go to Xuzhou, if not, Jia Xu would definitely follow Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, maybe now he has a prominent official position in the Chang'an court.

When it comes to resourcefulness, even Guo Jia and his ilk would not dare to trust Jia Xu.

At the beginning, Jia Xu might still have thought of leaving Xuzhou, but after seeing Lu Bu's methods, Jia Xu has more respect for Lu Buhui, and his decision can be seen from Jia Xu's recognition of the master. up.

In this era, recognizing the lord is a major event. Once the decision is made, it will not be changed easily, unless the lord's behavior completely discourages the subordinates.

It is difficult for Jia Xu himself to get a definite answer to what achievements he will have after following Lv Bu, but Jia Xu will try his best to help Lv Bu, so that Lv Bu can have greater influence among the princes, and the prestige of the Xuzhou army can be achieved. Resounding through the princes, these are extremely critical.

It is actually very difficult to rise from among the princes, especially for princes who were born as military generals like Lu Bu. It is not certain how many people are just hiding in the dark who are dissatisfied with the monarch. After all, Lu Bu occupies Xuzhou uses extremely tyrannical methods.

Even though Tao Qian is inferior to Lv Bu in many ways, when Tao Qian governed Xuzhou, didn't he have people who supported him? There are more benefits.

In the process of development, what Lu Bu needs to do is to influence as many officials as possible, and let the families of these officials see what kind of benefits they can get by following him. Let more officials make the right choice at the most important moment.

"The paper workshop established outside the city has already achieved something." Lu Bu said slowly.

After hearing Lu Bu's words, the eyes of the three people lit up. They were very clear about what the paper workshop made, and the role of paper has been well proved before. Chen Lin is currently in charge of the newspaper. That's the best description.

After Xuzhou has their speeches, it is conceivable that they will have a great influence in the future.

The role that public opinion can play in this era cannot be ignored. When a prince can control more speeches, he can occupy more righteousness. There is no doubt that the princes attach importance to righteousness in the process of fighting of.

If you want to fight against another side, you will definitely need a corresponding excuse. If you don't have enough excuses to send troops without authorization, you will leave more excuses for people. Even if Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou by tyrannical means, he still attaches great importance to this aspect .

It is very difficult for Xuzhou to achieve greater development. Lu Bu naturally understands the reason, but the development of Xuzhou to the present level is due to the joint efforts of his subordinates. In order to make such development To get a better continuation, Lu Bu must make corresponding efforts.

The appearance of paper has aroused great repercussions among businessmen. Even aristocratic families cannot refuse the temptation brought by paper. For ordinary people, they do not need paper, because their way of life determines that they do not want to use paper. It is possible to come into contact with things that can only be possessed by more upper-class figures.

Chapter 429 Guo Jia Recommends Drama Talents

Books are controlled by aristocratic families. Even if Lu Bu has enough ability to print more books, if he really chooses to do so, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of more aristocratic families. discretionary.

Xuzhou is developing very fast, and many problems will inevitably arise in the process of development. Even Lu Bu cannot absolutely guarantee that the subjects under his rule are loyal to him. In Lu Bu's view, the reason why more aristocratic families Gathering by his side is more for profit.

Aristocratic families can do despicable things for their own benefit. Lu Bu naturally understands such situations.

"The emergence of a large number of papers has brought more talents to Xuzhou." Jia Xu stroked his beard and said.

Seeing that Mi Zhu hesitated to speak, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Zi Zhong has something to say, but it's okay to say it, there are no outsiders here."

"My lord, the emergence of paper can indeed bring a lot of profits to Xuzhou. However, while gaining benefits, my lord has to bear a lot of burdens. I must have heard the arguments of some literati." Mi Zhu road.

Lu Bu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Naturally, he was clear about the arguments of the literati. Although the appearance of paper could provide convenience for the literati, fundamentally, it was Lu Bu who gained more benefits. Through paper, Lv Bu obtained a large amount of money and materials.

With these money and materials, Lu Bu can do more when the princes are fighting. This situation itself is extremely normal. Even if the same thing happens to other princes, they will definitely choose this way. The key is that Lu Bu The situation is quite different from other princes. Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is not as loud as that of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. After all, Lu Bu does not have a strong family background to rely on.

The same thing, it is a normal behavior to get it in the hands of other princes, but it is not good when it comes to Lu Bu, and the middle is the influence of reputation.

Although the positions of Xuzhou Mu and Wenhou have been recognized by the imperial court, it is conceivable that Lu Bu wants to be recognized by scholars. The difficulty is great. As for how to change this situation, Lu Bu needs more Much effort has been made.

Judging from the current situation, the influence of literati on Lu Bu has dropped to the lowest point. Even though Lu Bu has made many contributions to literati in terms of paper, such contributions are far from enough in the eyes of literati. of.

If it weren't for this, how could there be scholars who would scold Lu Bu for being full of copper stink?

The civil servants and military generals under Lu Bu's command naturally had a lot of anger at the scolding of the literati. However, what they are facing at this time is not the enemy on the battlefield, but the literati. It is obviously very difficult for the son to give in.

"Zizhong's words, although there is a certain truth, but what the Marquis believes is that only when the strength in his hands is stronger, can he have greater achievements in the troubled times. The current court is not clear, and the princes are fighting each other for their own interests. Such a situation The battle will not stop in a short period of time, if the Marquis does not have enough strength to support it, what will happen when the princes fight." Lu Bu said: "Let's not talk about it, it's just the stability of Xuzhou. , It is not as simple as what we have seen, why the family in Xuzhou chose to submit to Ben Hou, and the reason, needless to me, the three of you must understand the reason."

"When the Marquis has stronger strength, the influence that can be generated among the princes will be greater. As for the princes wanting to shake the position of the Marquis, there will be many difficulties."

The three of them nodded their heads in one word. Naturally, they knew the disadvantages of Lu Bu compared with other princes. However, as a general, it is already a miracle that Lu Bu can achieve his current achievements in the eyes of more people. .

After the lands of Yanzhou and Xuzhou are connected together, one can imagine the great impact it can have.

Although Lu Bu's current control over Yanzhou is not as good as that of Xuzhou, it can be seen from Lu Bu's actions how much trust he has in Chen Gong.

When Chen Gong can have more control over the land of Yanzhou, it will have many benefits for Lu Bu's long-term development.

The difficulties faced by Lu Bu are also what Jia Xu and others are worried about. After all, Lu Bu's reputation is not very good. Even with paper as a temptation, it is extremely difficult to attract more scholars to come to seek refuge. Under such circumstances, can it be said that Lu Bu can get the approval of these scholars after putting in more efforts for this?

The literati have their persistence, and Lu Bu also has his pride. When the literati can't provide more help to Lu Bu, can it be said that Lu Bu has no other way?

"My lord, literati are of great help to my lord in governing the region. If we can make better use of the power of literati, it will be of great help to the stability and development of Xuzhou in the future." Mi Zhu said.

Lv Bu nodded and said, "I don't understand what Zizhong said. It's just a literati's argument, and you all know it. Under such circumstances, it is already good for me to be able to recruit talents."

"My lord, there is no need to worry. There are so many literati, and not everyone will listen to the rumors spread by the outside world." Guo Jia said: "Although the number of scholars from poor families is not as high as that of children from aristocratic families, there are still many talents among them. If these If talents can be used by the Lord, why not do more."

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable." Lu Bu laughed and said, "If Feng Xiao has a suitable candidate to recommend, don't forget me."

"My lord, I do have someone to recommend." Guo Jia thought for a moment.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the person who can be recommended for Guo Jia must be someone with extraordinary qualities, "Who?"

"Xi Zhong and Xi Zhicai." Guo Jia said: "I have known Xi Zhicai for a long time. This person is not inferior to his subordinates in terms of strategy, and this person is also unique in governing the region. If this person can If it is used by the lord, it will definitely be of great help to the lord's future development."

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he had heard of the name of a talented person. He was a famous adviser in the late Han Dynasty. He was an important adviser under Cao Cao in history. end.

"Okay, if Xizhi can come here, I will definitely use it again." Lu Bu laughed loudly.

Chapter 430

Being able to get talents like Xi Zhicai will definitely be of great help to Xuzhou's future development.

Naturally, the more talents, the better. When more talents can be used by Lu Bu, it will be more convenient when he is fighting with the princes. There is no doubt about this aspect.

Lu Bu's words moved Guo Jia's heart slightly. Just hearing his recommendation, he decided to reuse Xi Zhicai, and from Lu Bu's words, he didn't hear the slightest affectation. This alone is enough to make Guo Jia have More moved.

Guo Jia, who was born in a poor family, deeply understands how many difficulties there are without a prominent family background if he wants to achieve something. The great influence actually has a lot to do with their control over the officialdom. No matter what kind of talent they are, if they want to enter the officialdom, they must get the approval of the aristocratic family.

Without the approval of the aristocratic family, it is impossible to enter the officialdom and have certain achievements.

Years of control have made the aristocratic family accustomed to this feeling. The rise of Lu Bu is actually nothing to the aristocratic family. In their view, no matter what kind of princes they are, they need their support. If they leave Without their support, it is simply impossible for the princes to do more.

The benefits that the powerful Lu Bu can bring to the families of Xuzhou and Yanzhou are obvious.

In fact, the current development of Lu Bu is indeed beneficial to the aristocratic and wealthy families.

No matter what kind of person is the monarch, the influence on the aristocratic family is actually not very great. As time goes by, they will make Lu Bu gradually understand that it is impossible to make a difference out of the control of the aristocratic family.

And Lu Bu recruited talented people in Xuzhou, and most of them were from aristocratic families.

At this point, it is almost impossible to make changes. More cooperation with the monarch can strengthen the family's strength, but when the monarch's behavior violates the interests of the family, there is no so-called Cooperative, maybe there will be more betrayal by then.

No matter what time it is, interests are the most important. In the face of interests, the so-called alliance, the so-called monarch and ministers, may change.

After Xuzhou was occupied, the Xuzhou family never thought about using their influence to drive Lu Bu away from Xuzhou, so that Tao Qian could continue to serve as Xuzhou pastor.

When Xuzhou's aristocratic family failed, they could still choose to stand behind Lu Bu and support Lu Bu.

This is also the characteristic of the aristocratic family. Even if some aristocratic families were eradicated by Lu Bu due to faults, could it be said that they could really shake the aristocratic families in Xuzhou?

The influence of the aristocratic family was not formed overnight. The Han Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years, was also inseparable from the support of the aristocratic family.
