When Lu Bu led the army to the Hetao, it was the spring of March, and now he has returned again, Chang'an City seems to have not changed much, it is still green grass, but if you walk into Chang'an City, you can feel that the entire Chang'an City is filled with an indescribable prosperity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking on the street, not only can you see a variety of carved beams and paintings that were not in the past, but also some exotic buildings appeared, the reopening of the Silk Road, attracted a large number of merchants from other countries, not only drove the economy of the whole Yongliang, but also brought different customs and culture.

Lu Bu advocates a hundred schools of thought, why advocate it, because these things are lacking in this era, whether it is culture or various theories, only in the competition can be sublimated, although today's Confucianism status is respected, but it is still in the exploration stage, and has not fully formed the kind of self-contained, continuous internal friction of the strange circle, as a descendant of China, Lu Bu naturally has his own feelings for these things inherited from China, but not just because of the relationship between the family, if Confucianism is allowed to develop alone, It is almost foreseeable that the future will inevitably go to decay, and any academic discipline will even be deduced to all walks of life, once it loses its sense of crisis, it will develop in this direction, and only competition and a sense of crisis can develop in a positive direction.

Just like the current Chang'an, although at first glance, it is a little chaotic, but in this chaos, a new cultural atmosphere is being formed.

Confucianism has a strong compatibility, maybe thousands of years later, when these from different regions, different countries and various academics are assimilated by Confucianism a little bit, or another academic will annex Confucianism, it will still enter the strange circle of self-style, but there is no need to worry about things after thousands of years, people live for a lifetime, and they spend a hundred and ten years in a hurry, but thinking about the crisis after a thousand years, there is no point at all, at least now, Lu Bu wants to let this seed be planted in his own hands.

The fighting in various places continues, but as Jia Xu said, with the current strength of each family, unless something shocking happens, this three-legged situation in the north will last for a long time, and the important thing now is not to continue to expand, but to stabilize the results of this battle, completely digest these results, and develop domestic demand.

When the news of Lu Bu's return to Chang'an spread, the restless atmosphere that had originally shrouded Chang'an gradually subsided.

In the past, when Lu Bu was there, he usually didn't take care of things, and most of the things were managed by the Chang'an Mansion of the Chen Palace and the Department of Justice, each doing its own thing in an orderly manner, but when Lu Bu left, everyone seemed to have less confidence in their hearts, and Lu Bu's powerful deterrent power was enough to deter all ethnic groups from doing their own thing according to the decrees planned by Lu Bu, but when Lu Bu left, these newly formed laws began to be insufficient in execution.

Especially when the troops in the Jingzhao area were continuously transferred out, so that the interior of Guanzhong became empty, although these decrees already had a certain degree of credibility, but because of the large number of soldiers and horses, resulting in a lack of a certain degree of execution, coupled with the lack of Lu Bu's deterrence, the slaves in the northwest, the Qiang people of various ethnic groups who had not yet fully planned the wildness in their bones began to be a little uncontrollable.

Now that Lu Bu has returned, the markets established in various places have suddenly become much more stable, and many naturalized Qiang people are better than rabbits in an instant, and the markets around the country have also regained stable order, which makes everyone, including Chen Gong and Zhang Ji, breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ma Jun?" Lu Bu played with the somewhat bulky repeater in his hand, and looked at the young man standing in front of him with his head bowed and respectfully: "This repeater is from your handwriting?" ”

"It's the result of the efforts of the grass people and several masters, and they don't dare to take this work alone." Ma Jun shook his head and arched his hand.

Master Pu, who was standing on the side, shook his head and said: "Mr. Ma provided an important opportunity on how to fire crossbow arrows in bursts, and with the help of several skilled craftsmen from the Western Regions, we can make this batch of repeating crossbows. ”

"Helped me a lot." Lu Bu looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile: "Merit will be rewarded, this is the rule of my army, I wonder if Mr. Ma is willing to serve under me?" ”

"Appointment? Out of office? Ma Jun and Master Pu were shocked at the same time, and looked at Lu Bu incredulously, doesn't this mean that craftsmen can also be officials?

"Don't get too excited, it's an official, but when it comes to power, there isn't much." Lu Bu shook his head and said: "I want to set up a Ministry of Industry based on the previous craftsman camp, specializing in the research and development of armaments and some livelihood technologies that can benefit the people, Master Pu is temporarily appointed as the general of the Ministry of Industry, with a rank ratio of three hundred stones, and Ma Jun is the deputy of the Ministry of Industry, with a rank of two hundred stones, in addition, I will formulate a set of rewards and punishments with the Department of Justice, and everything that is beneficial to the people's livelihood or the military will have corresponding rewards, but the Ministry of Industry is directly subordinate to the Hussar General's Office, politically, there is no right, but there will be certain preferences, and all craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, will be protected by the government. ”

Although there are many restrictions, but despite this, it still makes Master Pu and Ma Jun excited, although there is no actual right, three hundred stone Yulu in front of the imperial court, it is really nothing, but this is a kind of recognition, a recognition that invisibly improves the status of craftsmen.

Ma Jun hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed down and kowtowed, "See the lord." ”

"Good job." patted Ma Jun on the shoulder, looked at Master Pu with a smile and said, "How is the windmill spreading?" ”

Master Pu smiled: "There are already three hundred windmills in Yongliang, and the earthen kang provided by the lord has also been promoted among the people, which is quite well received. ”

"I know that." Lu Bu smiled and nodded, the letter sent to him by Chen Gong had already mentioned the role of the soil kang in this winter, Lu Bu did not use half a big money, and even made a lot of money by relying on the coal mine from Zhangye, but he gained a lot of people's hearts.

"The repeater can try to improve it again, I will talk about the requirements, one is a large equipment similar to a ballista, which can continue to shoot more crossbow arrows, and the other is on the basis of the current one, try to make it lighter, and the number of consecutive rounds does not need to be increased."

"Yes!" The two of them looked full of fighting spirit, and they had just been canonized by Lu Bu, although they were not big officials in the eyes of others, and even had some private soldiers, but even so, it was enough to make these craftsmen die for Lu Bu.

"Go down, tomorrow someone will send the money and food needed, and the Ministry of Industry will be formed based on the land of the former craftsman's camp." Lu Bu waved his hand.

Now the hussar camp and the night owl camp have become an army, and Yongliang is becoming more and more stable, the former camp has no practical value, and it is simply used as the base of the Ministry of Industry, after all, this is Lu Bu's military secret, located in Chang'an, one to affect the people's livelihood, and the other is to build in the city, there will be problems in secrecy.

"The ministers are leaving." The two of them bowed their hands to Lu Bu with a serious face, and left with high morale, determined to show their strength, not to be worthy of Lu Bu's value of them so much.

"But the lord wants to activate the Mo family?" Chen Gong had been sitting silently at the position of Lu Bu's hand, looking at Lu Budao.

"The Mohists pay attention to both love and non-aggression." Lu Bu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's too ideal, if there is chaos today, there is a lack of soil for their survival, this matter, let's wait for the world to be peaceful." ”

The Mohist assertion is not unreasonable, in modern terms, the Mohist proposition is to carry forward the truth, goodness and beauty, but this is also something that the times do not tolerate, the princes are divided, if this kind of thinking is really allowed to dominate the trend of thought, then it is easy for Lu Bu to grow stronger, but if you want to fight abroad, you will be shackled by this kind of thinking.

"Besides, how can there be a real Mo family now?" Smiling, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gongdao.

It is obviously a bit nonsense to count all craftsmen as Mohists, most of the craftsmen of this era are crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation, and they don't even recognize many big characters, can they still be expected to inherit the doctrine of the Mohist lineage?

Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"That's right, Gongtai." Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said, "I always feel that there will be big changes in the northern pattern this year, I'm afraid there will be a big war, try to prepare as many materials as possible in case of time changes." ”

Although I can't remember clearly, but Lu Bu remembered that after the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao died not long after, and it was a recurrence of the old disease, not caused by the war, at that time, the current three-legged pattern will inevitably have new changes, although it may not happen now, but still make more preparations, once Yuan Shao is really dead, Lu Bu can immediately enter Jizhou, Youzhou, even if you can't do the whole territory of Jizhou, but Youzhou must be in your own hands, when the time comes, at least in terms of heritage, Lu Bu is no worse than Cao Cao, more importantly, Once Youzhou was occupied by Lu Bu, it was equivalent to cutting off Cao Cao's horse source.

However, as soon as he said this, Chen Gong was annoyed.

"Lord, do you know that this year's Lian turned over the troops, Yongliang territory has been empty, if it is not for the lord to rush back in time, I am afraid that there will be turmoil, although the harvest last year was good, but before Gao Shun transferred troops, Wei Yan transferred troops, Zhang Liao transferred troops, how can there be so much grain and grass to fight again? Now that our army is facing the pressure of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at the same time, the lord knows that in just half a year, there have been more than a dozen riots in those Xianbei slaves in Zhangye, where did our army come from? There are also Black Mountain thieves who surrender, even if they are paid for work, they will consume a lot of grain and grass. Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu with a sad face, and now if he transfers troops, then Chen Gong will have to sell himself.

"No food again?" Lu Bu scratched his head with a little headache, as if since he took over Yongliang, his own grain and grass have not been enough, and he really envied Yuan Shao for mobilizing 100,000 and 200,000 at one time, even after the battle of Guandu, he was still so rich.
