The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Although Lu Bu disagrees with Jia Xu's actions, seeing that Jia Xu has his own persistence, Lu Bu will not force too much, but Jia Xu still understands some secrets of Xuzhou.

For Jia Xu's ability, Lu Bu admired it very much. He can make suggestions and help the monarch solve problems better. When facing problems, he will not say that he is helpless.

Although there are many gaps between the counselors under his command and those of other princes, Lu Bu has enough confidence in Jia Xu and Guo Jia. As long as he has the help of these two, even in the face of war, Lu Bu will not have the slightest hesitation. dreaded.

In terms of local governance, there are Zhang Zhao, Chen Deng and others. Although Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng chose to join for some reasons, they are superior in their ability to govern the local area.

As long as Lu Bu's strength remains strong, he will get the support of the two of them.

The monarch and the ministers are sometimes mutual. If you want to get more help from the courtiers, you need the monarch to display sufficient means. If not, the courtiers may also have other thoughts. When the courtiers have other thoughts , The influence that the monarch can have is also obvious.

In the process of governing Xuzhou, Lu Bu's methods have attracted the attention of the princes, but in fact, there are still many gaps in Xuzhou's talents. These gaps determine that when compared with other princes, Lu Bu will have obvious disadvantages .

Although Lu Bu is trying his best to make up for the gap in this regard, the real effect has not been tested.

Can the courtiers under his rule guarantee their absolute loyalty?

What is the significance of the loyalty of a courtier to a monarch.

"My lord, when investigating Fengyuelou, you might as well secretly order someone to investigate the businessmen who have contacts with Fengyuelou. If you start from here, you may have more gains." Jia Xu reminded.

Lu Bu nodded.

Fengyue Tower has always been relatively mysterious in Xuzhou, but when a monarch wants to investigate the situation of Fengyue Tower, it is conceivable what kind of impact it will have on Fengyue Tower, not to mention that this monarch can have absolute influence on Fengyue Tower. Influence.

With Lu Bu's current influence in Xuzhou, even if he directly takes action against Fengyuelou, how many officials will stand up to speak for Fengyuelou? Anyway, behind Fengyuelou are businessmen after all, and the status of merchants in this era determines Now, when they encounter difficulties, how many difficulties do they have to get the family's intercession.

But Lu Bu will not do this, because better control of the Black Clothes Pavilion will be of great help to Xuzhou in the future.

From Momen Lu Xin's words, Lu Bu can feel that the Black Clothes Pavilion is far from being as simple as imagined, and knowing more about the enemies hidden in the dark will be more helpful for future development. Lu Bu still knew about this aspect.

When the existence of Fengyue Tower greatly affected Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou, Lu Bu would not let it go.

It is also necessary to let those who affect the development of Xuzhou pay the due price.

Xuzhou's development cannot be affected more by the existence of Fengyue Tower, and the same is true for Xuzhou's stability.

Lu Bu has always attached great importance to the safety of his family. After taking charge of Xuzhou, secret enemies may affect the safety of his family. How could Lu Bu easily let them go? Be the real overlord.

After leaving the chamber of commerce, the shopkeeper of Fengyuelou who was following Qin Yu whispered, "Is there something wrong with the young master's move to the chamber of commerce today? Then Mi Zhu is also a well-known figure in Xuzhou."

"Hmph, what famous person, if I want to, I can take his life at any time." Qin Yu snorted coldly with disdain.

"My lord, you need to think twice about everything."

Qin Yu said: "Think twice? Do you want to watch the Fengyue Tower fall? You must know that this incident will not only affect the Fengyue Tower in Xuzhou, but also the Fengyue Tower in other states and counties. Who will be responsible for the lost benefits at that time."

The shopkeeper of Fengyuelou was silent when he heard the words. The amount of income that Fengyuelou can bring is unimaginable for ordinary businessmen. It is precisely because of this that when someone can influence Fengyuelou, it will bring Fengyuelou. revenge.

Fengyuelou's method is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.

When someone affects Fengyuelou's interests, it will bring Fengyuelou's crazy revenge.

It is inevitable that Fengyuelou can grow to such a level. It must be full of blood in the middle. Even a big businessman is accompanied by many unsatisfactory things in the process of growing up. If you are outstanding, it is extremely difficult to stand out from the crowd of businessmen.

This is especially true for businessmen of ordinary origin.

Fengyue Tower is obviously not something ordinary people can control, and the benefits it brings, even ordinary princes will be jealous after seeing it.

The existence of Fengyue Tower shows that they have enough means.

"Just in this way, Fengyue Tower will attract more attention from Xuzhou. Marquis Wen is not a simple person."

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Marquis Wen is not simple, so Fengyuelou is not."

After Lu Bu took charge of Xuzhou, he gained a lot of benefits, and while Lu Bu gained benefits, it would definitely affect many people, and such things are inevitable.

Regardless of whether it is immortal jade or paper, when gaining benefits for Lu Bu, offend some powerful families. At present, Lu Bu is very powerful. Although there are some people who want to take action against Lu Bu, they do not have the guts to do so, because they know that What kind of crazy revenge will he endure once he offends Lu Bu.

Not long after Qin Yu left, Shi A got Lv Bu's order to follow Qin Yu.

Even if Qin Yu has a certain level of skill, Shi Ah and others, in terms of tracking people, are not comparable to ordinary people.

Putting Shi A in charge of this matter is enough to see how much Lu Bu attaches importance to Fengyue Tower.

The matter of Fengyuelou was only carried out in secret. On the bright side, the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce was affected by the appearance of Immortal Drunk, and it did not stop in a short time.

After tasting the Immortal Drunk, the merchants are full of praise for the Immortal Drunk, and they will invest more money in buying the Immortal Drunk. As long as they see the benefits contained in the Immortal Drunk, the merchant will not remain calm.

Chapter 514 Protection of businessmen

The current world is not peaceful, and there are not a few people who fall into the grass and turn into bandits. When doing business, businessmen still need to bear the test in this regard.

Businessmen with the support of aristocratic families obviously don't need to worry about this issue. They have guards who can protect the Chamber of Commerce along the way.

However, some small businessmen have to endure a lot of hardships when doing business. Not all princes can be as stable as Xuzhou, and there are many bandits in other states and counties. To the point of pointing.

The princes of all parties are committed to developing their own strength. After bandits appear under their rule, although they will start to deal with such things, the effect is not very great. Bandits are also very cunning. When they see a large number of troops coming , How can there be no defense.

Besides, the thieves only need to deal with the soldiers in the army in the mountains and forests. Could it be said that the soldiers in the army will wait forever?

Sometimes, the princes have more choices to turn a blind eye and close one eye, because in their opinion, it is enough to make the rule temporarily stable.

Besides, even if the interests of the merchants are violated, how much does it have to do with the princes? Unless they are blind thieves who offend the merchants secretly controlled by the aristocratic families, they will attract a certain amount of attention.

When the thieves select the merchants, they have a sense of proportion. If the caravan is large, they will try not to touch it, because after robbing such a caravan, the thieves themselves will also suffer great losses. .

Thieves are a mob. When they see the benefits in front of them, they will take action without hesitation, but after encountering difficulties, it is another matter.

The development of Xuzhou is supported by a strong army. Lu Bu has always been intolerant of bandits. Whenever he finds bandits, he will send lieutenant soldiers to exterminate them. Significant improvement.

After the number of thieves increases, it will be a great challenge to the stability of the rule. Letting the thieves have no place to hide will be of great help to the future development of the princes.

Lu Bu didn't need to pay more attention to the situation under the rule of other princes, but under his rule, a large number of bandits were not allowed.

Some thieves obviously knew about Lu Bu's habits, so they didn't dare to easily take over under Lu Bu's rule.

That's why some merchants felt obviously relaxed after they came under Lu Bu's rule, even the guards in the caravan.

In all fairness, the security situation under Lu Bu's rule is generally good. With a relatively stable environment, the speed of development under Lu Bu's rule can be improved accordingly.

This situation is also an important reason why some businessmen choose to live in Xuzhou.

If Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, many businessmen might have a lot of hesitation, but from Lu Bu, the businessmen felt a strong sense of self-confidence. Much safer.

However, according to the situation reported by the Chamber of Commerce, merchants have many concerns about the safety that may occur during the delivery of goods.

Such concerns are also common among businessmen.

These businessmen went to Xuzhou to do business because of their trust in Xuzhou. While gaining benefits, they also made a lot of contributions to Xuzhou's prosperity. Just the taxes paid by businessmen are not a small sum.

"Zizhong, I have already understood the problem you mentioned. I don't know if Zizhong can solve it?" Lu Bu asked.

Mi Zhu said: "My lord, if the robbery happened under the lord's rule, it is easy to talk about it. The key is that these businessmen go to many places, and it is normal for them to be robbed by bandits on the way. .”

"What if the lieutenant officers are responsible for protecting the merchants?" Lu Bu asked.

Mi Zhu shook his head and said, "There are too many merchants. Besides, even if merchants are responsible for the consumption of soldiers along the way, the number of Xuzhou troops will drop sharply. If there is a war, what should we do?"

"Zizhong's thinking is reasonable, but if you don't use the soldiers in the army, and at the same time can give the merchants corresponding protection, what does Zizhong think?" Lu Bu asked with a smile after thinking for a while.

Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard the words, there are too many merchants traveling to and from Xuzhou, and fairy jade, immortal drunkenness, and paper are precious items in the eyes of merchants, if they are robbed by bandits on the way It was quite a blow to businessmen, and they didn't want to bear such a thing easily.

"If this is the case, more businessmen will be able to come and go to Xuzhou." Mi Zhu said: "The current situation in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty is not very good. There are many places where thieves come and go. If you encounter some thieves, you will only get some corresponding benefits. Forget it, if you encounter the most vicious people, the merchants will lose everything, and even their lives will be threatened accordingly."

Often in charge of the chamber of commerce, Mi Zhu still has a lot of understanding of the current situation of businessmen.

Lu Bu was quite satisfied with Mi Zhu's performance. Mi Zhu paid a lot of attention to merchants, which was of great benefit to the development of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce. If Mi Zhu was proud of dealing with other merchants because of his status as a Xuzhou resident In terms of performance, it is difficult to get the recognition of more businessmen.

From the previous conversation between Mi Zhu and Qin Yu, it can be seen that Mi Zhu did not show weakness or fierceness in the face of the aggressive posture of others, which is in line with the behavior of a businessman.

When it comes to ability, Mi Zhu may be capable as an official, but it is far inferior to Mi Zhu's talent in business. Let Mi Zhu be in charge of the chamber of commerce, but Lu Bu did not treat Mi Zhu because of this. The family has abandoned it, but the Mi family has reaped a lot of benefits in the process.

The cooperation between the monarch and his subjects is also full of benefits. The key is what kind of benefits the monarch can get after bringing such benefits to his subjects.

Lu Bu can feel Mi Zhu's loyalty to Lu Bu, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu has a lot of respect for Mi Zhu.

Talent is sometimes very important, but compared to loyalty, the monarch often prefers the latter.

Because loyalty is reflected in the courtiers, the rewards brought to the monarch are the greatest. Otherwise, even if the talent displayed by a courtier is shocking, how can this person be valued if he is not loyal enough to the monarch.

Chapter 515

"What Ben Hou said is to set up an organization specially to protect merchants. When protecting merchants, they will judge how many escorts they need at a time based on the number of escorts the merchants need, the goods they carry, and the distance of the journey. money." Lu Bu said: "These guards responsible for protecting the merchants can be selected from the army, so that the combat effectiveness of these guards can be guaranteed."

"And through this method, the merchants can help the Marquis take care of the consumption of some soldiers. When a war occurs, these guards can transform into elite soldiers to fight on the battlefield."

"My lord is wise." Mi Zhu said sincerely.

Lu Bu said, "Of course, it will take time to form such an organization."

"My lord, if you choose soldiers from the army, it doesn't take too long to put them into use, and it is also very necessary for merchants to be protected in the process of doing business." Mi Zhu said.

"I wonder if Zizhong has a suitable candidate?" Lu Bu asked.

Mi Zhu was slightly stunned for a moment, he never expected that Lu Bu would throw this question to him. After the establishment of such an organization, it can play a great role, which is conceivable. The person in charge of this matter, the power in his hand It's not small either.

As such an organization gradually expands, it will become a position that the generals in the army envy.

"Follow my lord's orders." Mi Zhu said.

Lu Bu said: "Well, in the past, Zang Ba also had a lot of contacts with bandits, and Zang Ba has many strong generals under his command, so let Sun Guan take charge of this matter, and then Zizhong will order someone to help Sun Guan just right. deal with this matter."

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

Protecting businessmen is more about negotiating with thieves. Sun Guan, who was born as a thieves, can play a very important role at this time, and Sun Guan himself is a fierce general in the army. When he meets ordinary thieves, he can explain Martial arts can make the bandits retreat.

"Such an organization is called the Escort Bureau. Since it was established in Xuzhou, we named it the Xuzhou Escort Bureau. I hope that in the future, the thieves of the Han Dynasty will be able to escape after hearing the name of the Xuzhou Escort Bureau," Lu Bu said.

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

The Xuzhou Escort Bureau was set up specifically to protect the businessmen. After such a thing spreads among the businessmen, how much repercussions will it cause? With a lot of trust, there are more possibilities to go to Xuzhou to do business.

As for the consumption of the guards responsible for protection along the way, it is nothing to the merchants, especially for some big merchants, the safety of the goods is the most important thing.

After the Escort is established, it will definitely be accompanied by many problems. Bandits and bandits can be solved by relying on the strength of the guards. difficulty.

Lu Bu does have a certain prestige among the princes, but can such prestige affect more officials under the princes?

Lu Bu set up a chamber of commerce in Xuzhou to do business on a large scale, but Xuzhou has gained a lot of benefits. It is impossible for these aristocratic families to have no desire for benefits. When they cannot obtain benefits from it, or their own interests are due to the emergence of the Xuzhou chamber of commerce And when it is damaged, it is reasonable to have embarrassing things.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After the establishment of the Xuzhou Escort Bureau, it is always a good thing for businessmen. Besides, the guards in the Escort Bureau are only to protect the safety of the chamber of commerce. As for the negotiations along the way, it is a problem that businessmen need to consider.

The ability of businessmen cannot be underestimated at times. If they do business in various places, if they do not have sufficient means, how can they obtain sufficient benefits from it.

Lu Bu's ability to provide corresponding protection for merchants is enough to show that he attaches great importance to merchants. In this way, more merchants will be grateful to Lu Bu. This situation will also be of great help to Xuzhou's future commercial development.

After confirming the candidates for the generals of the Chamber of Commerce, Lu Bu immediately ordered Sun Guan to come to Pengcheng.

Not long after Lv Bu occupied Xuzhou, he went to Langye himself and asked Zang Ba to join him. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary princes can possess, and Lv Bu also used these methods to convince the four bandits of Mount Tai. They have a lot of respect for Lv Bu dear.

Although Xuzhou has experienced many hardships in the hands of Lu Bu, it is also a fact that Xuzhou has achieved great development. If the same thing is put on other princes, it is not easy to get such a proper solution. matter.

Lu Bu's methods are often beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Following such a monarch may not be a good choice for a general in the army.

After Zang Ba took refuge in Lu Bu, he also received corresponding attention. Although the number of troops under his command has decreased, the equipment of his soldiers is not comparable to that of the past. The horses of the cavalry in the army are also extremely sophisticated.

The occurrence of the war is a good opportunity for the generals in the army. Zang Ba has enough confidence in following Lu Bu to make contributions.

If there is a war in Xuzhou, all it takes is an order from Lu Bu, and Zang Ba will lead the army to come.

The relationship between Lu Bu and Zang Ba is generally good, and Zang Ba's ability in managing the army is recognized by Lu Bu.

The increase in the number of fierce generals under his command is obviously helpful to the improvement of military strength. If the generals in the army cannot be brave in the face of war, how can they mobilize the fighting spirit of the generals in the army to a greater extent and let them Fight bravely when fighting against the enemy army.

A general is the courage of a soldier. If the general does not have enough confidence in the war, it will have a great impact on the soldiers under his command, and even have a negative effect on the progress of the war.

The appointment of generals in the army is relatively fair. No matter how skilled a general is in martial arts, he can only be reused if he can perform well in the battle against the enemy.

Ordinary soldiers, after working hard in the army, have the possibility to become generals.

Lv Bu was quite satisfied with the idea of ​​setting up an escort agency, that is, to help merchants deliver goods.
