Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 9 The Gap of Power

Lu's father's thinking is actually very simple. When you become an official, you will have everything. The core idea is to guide Lu Bu on the right path of studying and studying, instead of practicing martial arts all day long. The science of learning rather than the learning of reckless men.

To a certain extent, Lu Bu also agreed with his father's words, it is indeed very convenient to have power in his hands, but the problem is that this thing cannot be obtained in a short time, and Lu Bu is honest, he does not look down on the current opponents of the Dagan Kingdom. Facing the court officials who are crazily accumulating money but have weak legs externally, they are mere county magistrates. In front of that kind of hypocritical and polite officialdom, Lu Bu suddenly felt that his real court was too clean, and the literati only spoke euphemistically. It doesn't stick at all.

Is there any way to let yourself hold some power in your hands? The little power in my father's hand is not called power at all. At most, I can protect myself from being bullied. If I want to do something that doesn't involve interests, it's easy, but if I want to compete with those big households in the county, that's impossible. .

Father has nothing to do here, Lu Bu can only figure out a way by himself.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu went to school to study, which was a strict rule of his father, but after school, he didn't go home directly, but wandered around in the streets and alleys of Huizhou, trying to find his own way to make money.

The city construction style of Dagan and Dahan is different. In Dahan, after entering the city, there are high walls one after another, like a city within a city. Walking on the street will feel very depressing. If you want to buy things, you can only go in the designated squares. Buying in the market, the difference between poverty and wealth can be seen at a glance from a high place. There is a clear dividing line between heaven and hell, which also represents the strict barriers of classes.

But in Dagan, heaven and hell overlap together. In the streets and alleys, you can see nobles in luxurious clothes, and you can also see beggars who are hungry and give up their dignity for a meal. Here Although he is richer than the big man, he always feels that something is missing.

Lu Bu didn't know what was missing, and the high-ranking family didn't have the feeling of Han Shi's high-ranking family.

Vendors hawking along the street should be regarded as merchants. This kind of business should not make much money, at least they don’t look like rich, but the food they cook is really delicious. Frying and cooking, the food production of this dynasty The methods and types are much richer than those of Dahan.

But what really attracted Lu Bu's attention to these street vendors was not the things they sold or their business, but the people who oppressed them.

Where there are people, there will be conflicts. This Lu Bu knows very well that as long as there are other people in the world, you will not be able to find real peace. But when he saw the trembling peddlers blackmailed by Qingpi, apart from disdain and anger, Lu Bu did not make a move. , It's not that he didn't dare, it's just that he vaguely felt that he had grasped something.

After returning home, Lu Bu found his father and asked, "Father, my son suddenly remembered, what do these green skins in the city do for a living?"

These green skins have nothing to do all day long, and their families don't seem to be well off. What do they do for a living?

"Why is my son interested in these green skins?" Father Lu made no secret of his dislike for green skins.

"On the way home today, I saw a few green skins bullying the peddlers, and I suddenly wondered, what do they do for a living?" Lu Bu remembered that these people were not engaged in production.

"Of course it's to bully those small businessmen." Father Lu said disdainfully.

"How do you say it?" Lu Bu asked.

"As you can see, they find small traders to make trouble. If they are willing to give some money, they will let them continue to do business, but if they don't, they will come to make trouble every day, so that you can't do business. These people... oh ~" Father Lu shook his head and said disdainfully, "If I were an official, the first thing I would do would be to deal with these green-skinned rascals."

"Why didn't the government take care of them?" Lu Bu frowned. Logically speaking, these people should be treated well.

Father Lu had experienced the world, so he was not really stunned. He heard the words and said helplessly: "Although they are evil, they are small evils. Their crimes do not deserve death. They were imprisoned for a few days and then released. Maybe they will even intensify their revenge on those who reported to the officials, making you unable to survive. After a long time, everyone will have nothing to do with them. This has been the case since ancient times, and it is impossible for the government to follow them every day. They, in this county, there are as many as four to five hundred green skins, and there are dozens of people in a group, and the few are five or six people. If there is a mess, it is really difficult to manage, so it can only be like this .”

"I see." Lu Bu groped his chin and nodded, said goodbye to his father, but he was thinking about Qingpi, and called some of his little followers.

"Brother Bu, what's the matter?" Several small doormen asked.

"How many green skins are there in Huizhou, and which are the most powerful ones? Who knows?" Lu Bu asked.

"There are a lot of them. This city of Huizhou is not small. There are all kinds of streets. They divide their regions and bully good people everywhere."

"They can't afford to offend those big merchants, so they know that it is really hateful to oppress those small merchants who are just asking for a living!"

"Brother Bu, why do you ask this?" The one who spoke was the one who offered advice on robbing the rich and helping the poor the day before yesterday. His name was Guo Zhe, and he was one year older than Lu Bu, but he was also called Lu Bu Buge like everyone else.

"Go find a few and ask if they are willing to use them for me?" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes. He had some thoughts during this time. Although most of the power in this city is concentrated in the hands of the government, there are still some gaps in power. Well, if you can hold these piecemeal rights that are difficult for the government to hold in your hands, then it will be a way of making money.

"Why did Brother Bu recruit them?" Guo Zhe asked doubtfully.

"That's what I think." Lu Bu looked at Guo Zhe and said, "Combine these green skins and discuss with those vendors. I can guarantee that those vendors will not be disturbed. The vendors will pay me some money every month. If there are other green skins Come and make trouble, we can still guarantee them, only pay once a month, and won't ask for more, how many people do you think are willing to give this money?"

This is the way Lu Bu came up with to get money, and it is also a way of collecting taxes. Although it is not approved by the government, it should work. If the green skins of the entire Huizhou city can be collected, the tax of the entire Huizhou city will be paid. With this money, I can count myself as a power in my own hands to train this group of green skins.

As for how to expand this force, Lu Bu hasn't made up his mind yet. In short, he wants to grasp a part of the strength first, but whether this method will work will only be known after he has tried it.

"I'm going to tell those traders that they are definitely willing to do so. It's hard for them to make a living." Guo Zhe's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was very good.

"Go."
