Chapter 389: Yuan Lian's Surprise
As for the thoughts of the envoys of the princes, Lu Bu naturally did not speculate, he was busy with the matter of paper now, just taking advantage of the fact that the envoys of the princes from all walks of life were in the city, and he could also make a lot of money from them through the paper. →??? Eight +++ Eight ** Read == Book ^^≥
The trading of the hundred refining blades requires materials, and the exchange of money and rice grain for immortal jade is possible, after the paper appeared, Lu Bu did not use it to exchange materials, if there is a restriction in this regard, it will have a great impact on the sales of paper.
The Hundred Refining Blade was something that the princes longed for, and when Lu Bu sold it, he maintained a cautious attitude to avoid the strength of the princes on one side being too strong and causing a significant impact on the change of the situation.
Just like the sale of the Hundred Refining Blades this time, the priority is to give priority to Gongsun Zhan, which is to borrow the power of Gongsun Chan to consume Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao will pay a greater price in the process of confrontation.
There are no absolute allies, only absolute interests, when choosing the path of competing for hegemony with other princes, it means that all princes are enemies, and if they cannot eliminate other princes, they will be taken advantage of by others, in this case, we must be prepared in advance.
After the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army experienced the war, they did not have the strength to attack the other princes in a short time, but Lu Bu could lead the confrontation between the princes to a certain extent through the hundred refining blades.
The messenger sent by Yuan Shu was Yuan Lian, and Yuan Lian had a lot of curiosities about Xuzhou.
How tense the situation was under Yuan Shu's rule, at this time, if Lu Bu could stand up and support Yuan Shu, the situation on the Yingchuan battlefield would definitely change, and now it was clear that Liu Biao had to take the land of Jingzhou, even in the face of Sun Ce's attack on Jiangxia.

If the Jingzhou army wants to be a hunter after Yuan Shu and Lu Bu fight, they still need to take a lot of risks.
Turning his face with Lu Bu was, in Yuan Lian's view, a wrong decision, and it was precisely because of this decision that Yuan Shu's position among the princes was shaken and Lu Bu's influence was further expanded.
And being good friends with Lu Bu is of great benefit to Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's strength is strong, his personality is arrogant, as long as he finds the right method, he can still be used by Yuan Shu.
But things have happened, even if Yuan Shu has a lot of regrets, it is helpless, when Yuan Shu and Lu Bu tore their faces, the covenant between the two sides has been completely shaken, and it is impossible to restore the previous relationship.
With strong strength as support, Lu Bu will definitely not be controlled by others, and when facing Yuan Shu, he will not have the respect he had in the past, and he will even have the idea of getting more benefits from Yuan Shu's hands.
Being in Pengcheng, Yuan Jian could feel what kind of attitude the officials in Xuzhou had when they treated him, and even some officials had a lot of comments about him, which was also a normal thing, Yuan Shu was originally a strong prince, but now Yuan Shu is facing a huge risk.
Of course, Yuan Shu has confidence in Yuan Shu, as a child of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, just in terms of heritage, Yuan Shu is not something that Lu Bu can compare, as long as Yuan Shu is given enough time to develop, there will inevitably be greater achievements, maybe a failure, it is better for Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu can wake up from the invincibility of the past.
After seeing the development of Pengcheng, Yuan Lian had a sense of horror, the princes of the world did underestimate Lu Bu, not only in terms of conquest, but also in the development of the city, Lu Bu also has outstanding points, maybe it is other officials who govern the city, but it is enough for these officials to be appointed by Lu Bu.
From the looks of the people in the past, Yuan Jian felt satisfied, after learning about the living conditions of the people in Xuzhou, Yuan Jian was even more surprised, many people have surplus food at home, how unbelievable this situation is, anyway, under the rule of Yuan Shu, there are few such situations.
The reason why more young people enter the army is to survive, and the money and food in their families are not enough to support the life of their families.
After Lu Bu arrived in Xuzhou, he did not make a fuss about taxation at all, and still collected taxes according to the system of the Han Dynasty, although the taxes were higher than when the Han Dynasty was stable, but compared with other princes, it was much better, and it was even a little unimaginable.
Desperate military force can definitely not be used to describe Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is also a terrible monarch, such a character, if he really grows up, how terrible it will be.
However, now Yuan Shu has no strength, driving Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, and even persuading Lu Bu to stand in the same camp with him, this is the benefit of the victory of the war, even if it is a strategist under Yuan Shu, he still has the pride of the past, and at this time, he can only put the pride aside temporarily.
Regarding the situation under Yuan Shu's rule, Yuan Jian didn't seem to have too much worry, and wandered around the city all day long, visiting officials in Xuzhou, after all, Yuan Jian was a messenger, and the officials were still more polite when treating him.
Through conversations with officials, Yuan Jian has gained a lot.
At this time, Yuan Lian also set his sights on the Treasure Pavilion, Yuan Chuan came to Xuzhou, the power of secret protection is not a few, the reason why he paid attention to the situation of the Treasure Pavilion, and what happened in Xuzhou in the past, according to Yuan Lian's understanding, the Treasure Pavilion was opened by Momen, not only in Xuzhou, but also in Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
However, Yuan Jian did not dare to investigate more in this matter, or the power in his hands was not enough to investigate more in Xuzhou.
Besides, Xuzhou belongs to Lu Bu's territory, if it is too much under Lu Bu's rule, even if it is a prince's envoy, it is also in danger of his life, unlike other princes, Lu Bu is an out-and-out general, if such a person is forced to be urgent, what kind of thing can't be done.
After more than ten days like this, the envoy who made a deal with Mi Zhu was naturally much easier, but the envoy who had no way out was still working hard, and falling behind others in this matter would not only have no face, but would also have a great impact on the monarch behind them.
Lu Bu looked at the yellowed and rough paper and smiled with satisfaction.
Recently, I secretly came to the paper mill to see the progress of papermaking, as long as the paper can be made, the rest of the things can be solved slowly, and the paper itself is rare, unless other princes also have the ability to make paper cheaply.
According to Lu Bu's guidance, the paper produced is much whiter in color, slightly yellowish, but it gives people a sense of comfort and elegance. 11
