Chapter VIII New Year's Pass
After more than half a year of development, the people who followed Lu Bu from Nanyang at the earliest already had some grain in stock, and after leaving enough grain to be harvested next autumn, the excess grain would be sold to the grain shop specially set up by the government, and there was some surplus money in their hands to purchase New Year's goods, and they could get some meat from the Qiang people or the people of the Western Regions.

Although Lu Bu has a plan to run a ranch, he is not ready to implement it on the land of Yongzhou, and if he can occupy a large area of grassland in the future, he will implement the ranch plan there to provide abundant meat and enough horse sources for the Central Plains.
Lu Bu didn't nest in the craftsman camp all day, the training of the hussar guards has basically formed a stable routine, physical training, combat skills, actual combat and some special training, subdivided into more, but they have all made a complete plan, even if he and Xiong Kuohai are not there, Zhou Cang, He Yi, He Man are enough to cope with daily training, as for the process in the craftsman camp, in terms of technology, whether it is crossbow arrows or equipment armor, it has reached a bottleneck, at least before the beginning of spring, it is technically difficult to break through, For now, it's better to upgrade the equipment of these three hundred Praetorian guards as soon as possible.
These are all treasures in Lu Bu's hands, and loyalty is enough, things that can improve their survivability, Lu Bu will definitely not be stingy, so these days, the craftsman camp has basically stopped researching technology, and is making every effort to rush to work on equipment, the three treasures in the horse, the big yellow crossbow, the cloud piercing bow, the horse sword and the latest double-layer armor made of two metals fused, which is lighter and more defensive, and it will definitely arm these three hundred people to the teeth.
These things alone, even the equipment of 300 people, according to the current scale of the workshop, are very difficult, so Lu Bu did not mention some harsh requirements, and also allocated a group of materials specially for the craftsmen in the craftsman camp and their families to use for the New Year.
The New Year is the first day of the first month, at this time there is no Spring Festival, the New Year is called the New Year, as a party overlord, Lu Bu naturally can't just limit his vision to a small craftsman camp.
The New Year is approaching, although Yongliang is not rich, but Lu Bu gave the people a hope, in the coming year Lu Bu's appeal and popular will be stronger in the Yongliang area, Lu Bu not only has to plan the development direction of his own rule in the coming year, but more importantly, he will make use of this appeal, and constantly strengthen his position in the Yongliang area, and at the same time, some of Lu Bu's new policies and decrees will be promoted little by little in a way acceptable to the people.
Why is the Maison scary? Because the family controls public opinion, if the family is monolithic, it can completely blind the audition as the monarch's side, not every monarch has the leisure time and leisure to go to the micro-service private interview, and the micro-service private interview is always only the tip of the iceberg of society, which is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
It is impossible for the family to really be eliminated, after Lu Bu's subordinates grow up, they will also become new magnates, what Lu Bu has to do is to eliminate the family's threat to the monarchy to a minimum before these new families of his own grow up.
At least the people under Lu Bu now rarely think about how to consolidate their position after they become a family in the future, if Lu Bu can really win the world in the future, when these old ministers begin to have this aspect of their minds, the general trend has been achieved, they can only compete in the power game that Lu Bu has planned for them, try not to damage the interests of ordinary people, and make the regime they establish more stable, not to mention thousands of generations, and will not end up like the pre-Qin dynasty to the second death.
It's a bit far away, but today's Lu Bu is indeed developing in this direction.
The Yellow River is frozen, which is very dangerous for Lu Bu today, although it is unlikely, but if Zhang He takes the opportunity to cross the river at this time, for Lu Bu, this is a disaster, not that it cannot be defeated, but if the battle starts in Yongzhou, it will be a great blow to the newly established people's hearts.
Therefore, Gao Shun did not come back at this year's pass, but stayed in Hongnong, monitoring Zhang He's every move, once Zhang He made a move, he crossed the river first, and pulled the battlefield to the interior of Bingzhou to fight.
Zhang Liao cooperated with Zhang Ji to fight the Qiang people with one hand and pull the other hand in Xiliang, and gradually began to establish order between the Qiang and Han, and at the same time attracted more Qiang people to naturalize, Hao Zhao and Wei Yan were stationed at Guanyao, although there was no war, but Hangu Pass and Wuguan were too important for Lu Bu to be sloppy and not be able to come back together.
Thinking about the old brothers who were born and died together in the past, but now it is difficult to reunite, which makes Lu Bu feel a little depressed, and as time goes by, Lu Bu finds that he attaches more and more importance to these friendships that he did not value before.
Although they couldn't get together, Lu Bu still sent people to send a generous gift to each of the generals who were stationed abroad, as well as a large amount of wine and meat, so that those soldiers stationed at the border could have a better year.
It seems to be a casual move, but it has also greatly enhanced the enthusiasm and loyalty of these border soldiers, and invisibly, it has also strengthened the centripetal force of Lu Bu's forces.
The busy wax moon passed quietly in these trivial and continuous little things, in the rich festival atmosphere, Jian'an four years, this important year for Lu Bu that belonged to the turning point of his life, passed away quietly and plainly, without a little twist and turn.
This year, Cao Cao integrated the Central Plains, this year Lu Bu was defeated in Pi, re-established the foundation in Yongliang, this year Liu Bei was defeated again, ran to Yuan Shao, this year, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, died two major princes in a row, one is a betrayal of relatives, alive was angry to death, the other is a young hero, died in his own home, the ending is not too good, but counting the past and present, the princes who failed on the road to hegemony seem to have few good endings.
It is also this year, the general trend of the world gradually began to become clear, the breath of the war almost enveloped the entire northern land, this year, the life of the Hu people is not very good, after a few months of fighting, the land of the Hetao, whether the Xiongnu or other ethnic groups, can be regarded as a great injury.
Carefully calculated, in the entire four years of Jian'an, among the princes of the world, I am afraid that only Cao Cao and Lu Bu were the gainers, Cao Cao swept the surroundings and occupied the Central Plains, laying a solid foundation for the future competition for the world, and Lu Bu also found his own place to stand and became a prince in the real sense.
The fluttering blood flowers fell, drawing an end to this war-torn era, and from Chang'an City, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a screen.
Lu Bu moved a chair and sat under one of the eaves of the garden, watching Diao Chan and Liu Yun standing side by side intoxicated in this beautiful snow mist, beautiful like a painting.
Behind him, Er Qiao, who was slim and elegant, also looked at all this with a confused gaze, and Yang Xi boldly sat on Lu Bu's lap.
Probably, a lot of people will die.
Lu Bu sighed slightly in his heart, with the current heating level, this winter, some people will die, it is probably the consensus reached by Lu Bu and his advisors.
I was helpless, but I didn't disturb the enthusiasm of several wives to enjoy the snow, and there was no need to take out these heavy topics to disturb the atmosphere of this festival.
Not to mention the troubled times, even in the peaceful and prosperous times, many people freeze to death every year, and for many ordinary people, winter is a disaster season.
However, most of the dead were old and weak women and children, and their bodies could no longer withstand the invasion of the cold.
Lu Lingqi was like a demon during this time, frantically studying the training experience that Lu Bu gave her, that is Lu Bu's method of training hussar battalions, and it may not be fully applicable to female soldiers, but Lu Lingqi has a good talent in this regard, and the night owl battalion she formed is indeed perfect in assassination, all the advantages of women are brought into play, these are not what Lu Bu taught him, if Lu Bu used the method of training the hussar battalion at that time to train female soldiers, even if they are trained, they are just a group of female men who are five big and three rough.
For these, Lu Bu didn't stop it, children have children's choices, since Lu Lingqi chose this path, and Lu Bu really needs such a force that exists in the dark, even the people under his command will not know about the existence of the world, except for Lu Lingqi, Lu Bu has no better candidate.
"Dad, I want two people with you." Lu Lingqi, who suddenly ran over, asked Lu Bu for his life.
"Let me hear who it is." Lu Bu said with a smile, her daughter is a lot more stable, she shouldn't poach her old man.
"The two people I brought back before, one is called Pang Tong, the other is called Wen Ping, Wen Ping's martial arts are not bad, as for Pang Tong, he is also quite capable, and his daughter can get out of Jingxiang safely, and it all depends on him." Lu Lingqi said: "Now that Pang Tong and Wen Ping are both locked up in prison by Mr. Gongtai, I need your nod." ”
"Well, since it's me who caught it...... Lu Bu nodded, and was about to agree, when his face suddenly became strange, he looked at his daughter, and said in surprise: "Who did you just say?" ”
"Pang Tong and Wen Ping, these two daughters want to take them away together, and when they go to the Western Regions, they can also help." Lu Lingqi looked at Lu Bu and said a little dazedly, these two may have some fame in Jingxiang, but they are not so surprising to their father.
Mr. Feng Hina lives in his own dungeon?
Some rubbed their temples with a headache, some couldn't figure out what was going on, and they seemed to be missing something.
After a long time, Lu Bu raised his head, looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "My father wants to meet them first, Xiao Qiao, you go and inform the public station to come, I have something I want to ask." ”
"Yes." Xiao Qiao agreed, made a grimace at Lu Lingqi, and ran away, the wind and snow seemed to have become a little bigger, and Lu Bu's mood seemed to fluctuate. (To be continued.) )
