147 He who obeys me prospers

In a month's time, the general trend of the world, there is no change, Luoyang, Guanzhong, Xiliang, Yizhou, Hanzhong, Nanyang, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Kandong Prefectures, Youji Prefecture, the news has not changed much from before, if a rumor from Luoyang is also counted, there is a little change.

This news is after the burial of the Queen Mother and King Hongnong, it came out, saying that in the ruins of Yong'an Palace, the Queen Mother's seal has never been found, it is reported that the hussar general Li Dao was very angry about this, and hundreds of people who participated in this matter, such as guards, chamberlains, palace maids, servants, soldiers, etc., were all thrown into Luoyang Prison and strictly investigated.

Along with this news, it is still a rumor that the general of Zhengbei and Mu Lu Bu of the state poisoned the Queen Mother Hongnong Wang, but this time, it is not only a rumor, but there is a fake autopsy conclusion as evidence, which proves that the Queen Mother and King Hongnong were indeed poisoned and died.

For this reason, the scholars set off one huge wave of protests after another, asking the Son of Heaven to issue an order to take Lu Bu to Luoyang and strictly ask him for his crimes.

Needless to say, anyone knows that no one dares to take this job to Luoyang if they want to escort Lu Bu, who has a heavy army, to Luoyang for questioning, even the imperial court ignores this appeal and ignores it.

When Lu Bu heard these two rumors, he didn't react except for a smile. Especially the Empress Dowager's seal, he and everyone under his account know very well that the Empress Dowager's seal is in the Empress Dowager He, who lives in the state pastor's mansion, and the hussar general Li Wei can't find the Empress Dowager's seal even if he digs Yong'an Palace three feet into the ground.

However, Xu Huang, who was stationed at Yanmen Pass, reported that the Xianbei clan outside the pass seemed to have a big change, which could be regarded as a major event that moved Lu Bu and everyone under his tent.

On the first day of October in the first year of Chuping (190), it was the sixth day after the beginning of winter, and the north wind had gradually become stronger. The area around Taiyuan is already a scene of impending snowstorms. In the city of Jinyang, it has been very lively these days, and Lu Bu of the state has summoned the families of the counties and townships in the entire Taiyuan County to discuss the matter of measuring the land.

There are many good people who think that this is the state of Mu Lu Bu is ready to give up such a move, because in the entire Taiyuan County, there are more and more wealthy families who oppose this matter, after all, anyone can see it. After the land measurement, it is to confirm the ownership of each piece of land, so that it is clear at a glance how much land the family Hao You occupies, in case in the future, Mu Lu Bu decides to collect taxes accordingly. Wouldn't that make the family have the lion's share of the tax?

At three o'clock, it was set up in a large tent on the field of Jinyang University. It is already full of powerful people from all over the world. The Wang family of Qi County, the Wang family of Jinyang, and the Guo family of Jiexiu also participated.

These people, in the local area, are all like the existence of the emperor of the soil. Whoever governs the state and the county must first get closer to them, otherwise. Local governance, once these people pick their own sons, how can they govern with those big men in the states, counties and counties alone.

There are soldiers inside and outside the camp, but these local snakes, who have always dealt with the local government, are not frightened at all, but feel that these soldiers rely on them to have food and salary, and standing here at this moment, it is the right thing to protect them.

When Lu Bu walked into the camp surrounded by Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Song Xian and Hou Cheng, he saw such a dark and oppressive scene, and he did not restrain a little because of Lu Bu's arrival.

It wasn't until Lu Bu took his seat that Song Xian picked up the long knife and knocked it heavily on the desk with the scabbard for a while, and the tent gradually quieted down.

Lu Bu slowly got up at this time, and slowly walked into the passage specially vacated in the middle of the camp tent, as he walked, he glanced at both sides, there was no trace of a smile on his face, and his hands were behind his back, although his expression was a little serious, there was no threat.

After walking to the end and back, everyone realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the tent.

It's just that Lu Bu didn't speak, Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Song Xian and the others who were sitting on the top didn't speak, and none of the people under the tent were stupid enough to be the first to come out and speak, they all sat quietly, waiting for Lu Bu to speak.

"The matter of land measurement and confirmation of rights, I think it is a matter that greatly contributes to the livelihood of the community!" Lu Bu's words were very gentle, his eyes swept between the people under the tent, and after a slight pause, he continued, "It is also beneficial to all the monarchs here." However, for more than half a year, the progress of this matter is limited after all, and Lu just wants to hear what your attitude is, how many people are in favor and how many people are against, so as to take different countermeasures! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was still a dead silence under the tent, but after a while, the buzz suddenly sounded, and it was everyone who exchanged heads and exchanged opinions with the people adjacent to each other.

Lu Bu was very patient, just put his hands behind his back, stood there, watched quietly, and waited for almost half a cup of tea before the humming in the tent gradually stopped, Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, have you discussed?" Those who oppose this matter can stay out of the account now. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, everyone is you look at me, I look at you, for a long time, no one responds.

Lu Bu sneered and asked, "Why, no one objected?" If you stay in the account, Lu will be deemed to have agreed to this matter! ”

In today's situation, these heroes in the tent have not yet adapted to it, and they did not expect that as soon as Lu Bu came up, he went straight to the topic, asking everyone to choose between agreeing and opposing, and what are the benefits of agreeing and what are the disadvantages of opposition, they will not mention it at all.

What's more, in such a very wrong atmosphere in the tent, no one took the lead in getting up and leaving the tent, and even if the others had the heart to object, they all muttered in their hearts and didn't dare to get up first.

Finally, still in a dead silence, an old man with white hair stood up tremblingly, and arched his hand: "Envoy, envoy, this move, although, although meritorious, meritorious to the community, people's livelihood, but let me wait, I wait for taxes, aggravated, in the past, in the past Emperor Guangwu, in the world, also, once ......"

"I also bowed my head to you gentlemen, didn't you?!"

Lu Bu interjected coldly, interrupting the old man's vague and breathless words, and his impatience was no different.

The old man nodded again and again, not interrupted by Lu Bu at all, and continued: "...... Listened. Listen to the words of the states and counties, the gentry. ”

"That's it!"

"Exactly!"

……

When the tent was neutral, there was a sound of echoing, Lu Bu had a calm face, his eyes were cold, looking at all this, and when the echo gradually stopped, he said coldly: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, and I summoned you here today not to listen to your opinions on this, but just to know." How many people are against! ”

"Envoy, what about for and against?"

Someone in the crowd shouted, but the person didn't stand up and didn't know it. Who is speaking out?

Lu Bu looked carefully at the place where the voice came from, but he never identified the person who made the sound. Silent for a while. Fang Cai replied coldly: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish, this truth, you should understand." ”

When he said this, he said it very indifferently, but with an awe-inspiring momentum. But in an instant, this sentence permeated the entire camp.

However, it was such a resolute attitude that caused a tough backlash from the wealthy people present, and the tent was silent for a while. There was a sudden wave of noise, and several people stood up almost at the same time and went to the tent, and after them, many others rose one after another, and joined the former in protesting by withdrawing from the table.

As they walked, they made loud noises, and under their influence, people constantly got up along the way to join the ranks of the opponents.

Lu Bu didn't stop them, just looked at these people coldly, Jia Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, his face was as usual, but in his heart, he was shaking his head there, and he sighed that these people still couldn't see the situation clearly.

Jia Xu had already understood the arrogance, sleekness, strength, and even influence of these people before, and knew in his heart that they could have the confidence to call Banlu Bu this way, or from their old experience and old understanding.

As the old man said before, when Emperor Guangwu wanted to regain the land of the world, he had to ask the opinions of the wealthy families in various states and counties.

In fact, everyone knows what the final results of that vigorous Dutian action will be, and it is the officials of various prefectures, counties, counties and townships who carry out the edict of Dutian, and these people have to cooperate with the local wealthy families, so as to ensure that during their term of office, there will be no vicious incidents that will cause them to lose their official positions and futures.

Since Emperor Guangwu to the present, the local officials in the prefectures, counties, counties and townships have come and gone, constantly changing, but the families in various places have remained relatively stable.

Therefore, in the eyes of these wealthy families in various places, they are the masters of the local area, and the local officials of the prefectures, counties, counties and townships are just outsiders, representing outsiders in the imperial court.

This time, they still use such old experience to look at Lu Bu, but they don't know that today's merger is very different from the previous merger, and Lu Bu's position as the pastor of the state, unless he is willing, will definitely not be changed due to the reappointment of the imperial court.

In a word, today's merger of states is already the foundation of Lu Bu, and it is Lu Bu's merger of states, not the merger of these wealthy states, of course he will not let these wealthy families control the land, population and other wealth of the state.

Jia Xu didn't move, he counted clearly, and there were thirty-six people who got up and left the tent, which also represented the thirty-six small families, and when he shook his head and sighed for these thirty-six families in his heart, he heard Lu Bu sneer and said, "Very good, but there are still objections?" ”

After speaking, Lu Bu's eyes swept around the tent, and he asked these words three times in a row, but still no one made a sound, let alone got up.

"Good!" Lu Bu nodded again and again, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly on the passage again, "Since you have chosen to stand with Lu, Lu may as well tell you clearly here, what Lu said just now, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, it is not an empty word, you don't believe it, you might as well listen carefully with Lu......

Suddenly, the tent was so quiet that even an embroidery needle fell to the ground, and the sound could be heard, and everyone was suspicious, learning from Lu Bu, turning their ears slightly and listening to the situation outside the tent, but no one was as exaggerated as Lu Bu, opening his hand and supporting it behind his ears.

At this time, they also noticed that Song Xian, the commander of the personal soldiers who had entered the tent with Lu Bu, had already carried a long knife at this time and stepped out of the tent with murderous vigour. (To be continued......)
