Chapter 71: Lu Bu is crowned king
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu laughed: "Then Feng Xiao is willing to serve and help Ben Hou!" β
"This ......" Guo Jia was momentarily stunned, embarrassed: "Wen Hou laughed!" β
"Hah!" Lu Bu chuckled: "Then be filial and retreat!" β
Guo Jia stood up and saluted, then withdrew.
As soon as Guo Jia left, there were no outsiders, and Chen Gong couldn't help asking, "Lord, what is the use of you storing so much salt and tea?" β
Food and armaments can be understood by everyone, but salt and tea seem to be unnecessary!
Because the production capacity has been greatly increased now, salt tea is no longer a problem.
Knowing that everyone would ask, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Everyone, are you cold?" β
Cold?
This completely unrelated question made Chen Gong stunned for a while.
Chen Gong had no choice but to say, "Well, the weather has indeed been colder recently. I'm afraid that in another month, it will snowfall. β
There is no global warming in this era, and the winters are very cold. Coupled with the lack of heating facilities, it is easy to freeze to death.
And this situation is naturally most serious in the north.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Although we vigorously plant mulberry hemp, it is still difficult to have anything to keep warm. I know that there is a kind of clothing that is extremely warm, and as long as you wear one, you can wear several clothes. β
What, wearing one is worth a few, how everyone is not surprised.
Chen Gong couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask the lord, what kind of clothes is it?" β
"Cardigan!"
"Cardigan?" Everyone looked at each other, all in a state of bewilderment.
Chen Gong said: "My lord, listen to his name, is it a garment woven with wool?" β
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes, it is woven with wool." As long as we have a woolen sweater, we will no longer have to worry about freezing next winter. β
Wow!
Everyone was in an uproar in an instant, if there were really warm clothes as Lu Bu said, it would be great.
Lu Bu continued: "Dare to ask you, where does the wool come from? β
Everyone was silent, and Chen Gong replied: "If you want to have a lot, I'm afraid there is only the northern grassland." Could it be that the lord is planning to trade with the alien races in the north? β
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what it means." What kind of materials do the aliens in the north lack the most? β
Chen Gong thought for a moment: "What the alien races in the north lack the most is food, clothing, salt and tea. β
Yes, the steppe people live on cattle and sheep as their staple food, and if there is no tea, it will be very uncomfortable.
And they themselves do not have these products, they have always been supplied from Dahan. Even the most inferior tea bricks are very popular in the grassland.
The same is true for table salt, because there is no better salt refining process in the grasslands.
As for grain, in winter, a large number of cattle and sheep in the northern grasslands freeze to death, and the grassland people will plunder and fight each other if they have no food.
Of course, in addition to his own infighting, he will also go south to plunder the Han people.
This is the most essential reason for war.
And as long as there is war, there will naturally be pain, indelible pain.
Lu Bu bowed: "Yes, what the grassland people lack most is food, clothing, salt and tea. It is difficult for us to transport food in large quantities, but salt, tea and clothing can. I asked again, can the public station know how the grassland people deal with wool? β
"This, it seems that the rest of the sheepskin has been discarded except for some sheepskin, which is used as clothing to protect against the cold." Chen Gong's eyes lit up in an instant: "Gong understands that the things that the grassland people can discard at will can be exchanged for a large number of useful materials, and this matter will be done!" β
Lu Bu smiled: "Yes, this is the purpose of this candidate." In addition, Benhou will also provide scissors to the grassland to teach the grassland people how to trim their wool. Wool is not only desirable on dead sheep, but can be trimmed in spring and autumn every year. They will also teach the steppe people how to make dried and cured meat, so that even if a large number of cattle and sheep freeze to death in winter, they can make meat into jerky and cured meat for storage. β
What the!
Everyone present was amazed.
Chen Gong couldn't help asking: "Isn't the lord determined to pacify the grassland, why is he so friendly to the grassland people?" β
"Friendly?" Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "Before we have no railway to transport logistics materials, how can we pacify the prairie." This is done in the hope of stabilizing the grassland people. As long as they don't have an existential crisis, they won't easily go south to raid. Moreover, the benefits we can earn from the two-party transaction will be dozens of times that of the grassland people. β
When he said this, everyone understood.
Lu Bu wanted to take salt and tea from Jiangdong, and then go to the grassland in exchange for wool and horses. In this way, it is equivalent to making a lot of money just by being a middleman.
Similarly, everyone admires Lu Bu's way of doing business. Without several times more benefits, it is not in line with Lu Bu's style at all.
If you want to say who is the blackest in the world, it is none other than Lu Bu.
Everyone was overjoyed, full of anticipation for the woolen sweater that Lu Bu said.
Soon, the angel went to the temple.
Yes, angels. But not the kind of angels that fly in the sky, but the messengers of the Son of Heaven.
In short, the eunuch who delivered the decree.
When Lu Bu and Cao Cao reached a contract, they would naturally be able to pass on their decrees openly.
Although this was originally prepared, if the peace talks failed, there was certainly no need to announce the purpose.
The current world, after all, is still the world of the Han Dynasty on the surface.
"Lu Bu takes the order!" The angel shouted at a shrill voice.
However, Lu Bu didn't move at all, just looked at the angel lightly.
Angels are also used to seeing it, anyway, there are too many people who don't kneel down to receive orders now.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Lu Bu is both civil and military, thanks to the community. First rejected the Xiongnu in the north, and made great achievements for the Han Dynasty. He also beheaded the traitor Dong Zhuo, and Kuang Fu Sheji. Since he led Xuzhou Mu, he has governed the government in a good way and the people have been rich. Hereby, canonize LΓΌ Bu as the king of Chu. He was specially given the right to open the government and could be appointed as a vassal of himself. And led Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou six state pastors. Chin this! β
After reciting, the angel customarily said: "Lu Bu, don't accept the order to thank you!" β
At this moment, Lu Bu's heart couldn't help but shake.
If you are a human being in two lives, you have two feelings.
One is what the original Lu Bu wants to get ahead. The other is the emotion of an ordinary person on the earth who has achieved kingship.
"Lu Bu takes the order, thank your majesty!" Lu Bu was clasping his fists in the direction of Xuchang in the west, which was a gratitude.
For this great man who has no real power, Lu Bu is also embarrassed.
In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Xie, because when Liu Xie took over the imperial power, the Han Dynasty was already rotten. In his life, he can only be a puppet.
Since Liu Xie can't save the world, let him do it.
Soon, everything was decided.
Lu Bu also assigned tasks one by one and handed them over to the important ministers to complete.
There are still many things waiting for Lu Bu to do, and Lu Bu is busy again.
The ceremony of proclaiming the king, building the palace, and forming the political power team are all huge projects.
Lu Bu first wrote down all the roasted tea processes he knew and handed them to Zhang Zhao.
In fact, Lu Bu doesn't know much, he only knows roughly. In Zhuge Liang's lines, that is, he understands a little bit about everything. Therefore, the more detailed process can only be studied by Soochow itself.
Lu Bu just hoped that he would be able to drink a variety of different tea leaves soon. Such as black tea, green tea, green tea, flower tea, black tea, white tea, and so on.
And these things are basically grown in the south.
Then, he returned Cao Cao's 20,000 prisoners of war and gave him a large number of advanced ordnance.
Yes, to pacify the world, it doesn't have to be Lu Bu himself.
LΓΌ Bu's strategy was to use Cao Cao's troops to pacify the Yuan clan in the north. In this way, he could destroy the Yuan clan without losing a single soldier or soldier.
If Lu Bu compares himself to the lord of the world, it is also a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.
For every one less, there will be one less war. The vitality of the Han people can also be relatively better preserved.
If not, he worked hard to build the country, and there are not enough Han people to manage it, then what is it called a Han country.
Moreover, these prisoners of war have family members in their hometowns, and their loyalty is insufficient, so it is better to return them to Cao Cao.
Moreover, without war, you can get the land of the four states, and Yu Lu Bu is a big profit.
Because of the Yansiliang line, he could go straight west to the Western Regions and the northern expedition to the grasslands in the future. And this is Lu Buzhen's real goal.
Next, it is Lu Bu's most troublesome regime team.
Since he is a self-proclaimed prince, Lu Bu has to break the Han system and combine the experience of the two generations to reformulate a political system exclusive to him.
Just when Lu Bu was trying his best to formulate an official position, Pang Tong found Xu Shu.
"Yuan Zhi!"
"Shiyuan!" Seeing acquaintances, Xu Shu couldn't help but be happy. However, in an instant, he lowered his face and said, "If you are here for Lu Bu as a lobbyist, then please go back!" β
