—181 A.D.——

Xiliang, Wuwei.

"What?! Managing a merchant bazaar? Li Ru, are you stupid? ”

There was a roar of anger and incredulity in the county guard's tone, and the guards outside could distinguish for a moment who dared to scold the military advisor for being stupid, and then found that the voice seemed to be Lu Bu's, so they pretended to be deaf and ignored it completely.

The reason why it is "again" is because the last person to scold like this was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, but the capital who has this is not it?

"Bongxian, calm down." In the council hall of the county guard's mansion, Li Ru, who was wearing a belt of Eguanbo, was staring at the map of Liangzhou on the table and thinking about something, and responded to Lu Bu, who was yelling at him in front of him, without care: "I have a lot to do, and I don't have time to mess around with you." ”

"Uncle Ben doesn't have time to mess around with you!" Heavily armed, Lu Bu, who seemed to be about to go out, slapped the table: "The so-called 'important task' is to be responsible for 'development'...... Uh, 'growing a business'? Uncle Ben can't do that! ”

"I naturally know which one you 'did'," Li Ru straightened the crooked map and glanced at Lu Bu: "Training soldiers?" Patrol the streets? Overseer repairing the city? ”

"Hmph...... In fact, it is possible to catch horse bandits and bandits, but there is no one in Liangzhou at all. Lu Bu was stunned for a moment before he said.

"Fengxian, you and I are brothers-in-law, you may be dissatisfied with such direct orders that do not explain them," Li Ru shook his head, "I'll talk about it, you can listen to it, if you have any questions, wait until I finish speaking, okay?" ”

"Oh...... You said. Lu Bu folded his arms and raised his chin.

"This rebellion of Bian Zhang and Han Sui, with the slogan of 'splitting the soil and sealing the king' and 'promoting officials and making fortunes', marched all the way to Chang'an and Luoyang, in their minds, as long as they were forced to compromise with the imperial court, they could claim the king and hegemony in Lianghe Erzhou, and do whatever they wanted, so there was no preparation for logistical supplies, and all the materials needed were plundered from the local counties. 'King of Xiliang' or any other title, the place under his jurisdiction can only be these places of anger and resentment caused by them. Li Ru said a lot in one breath and took a sip of tea.

"Huh...... In their opinion, there is no difference between the Han and those who will recover naturally after gnawing away," Lu Bu sneered: "This kind of alien race who has entered the Kou will kill one and kill one, and it will never be wrong, if there is a guy who avenges their grievances, just throw them out of the city of Biansai, and let him taste what those 'people' he sympathizes with and want to 'live in harmony' will do to him." ”

"I almost forgot, Fengxian was born in the state, I must have seen many similar situations, but I am too talkative." Li Rudao.

"Since you are talking about this, do you have to tell me, because the market and trade routes in the cities of Liangzhou have been seriously damaged as a result, and my father-in-law urgently needs to restore the old view but is short of manpower?" Lu Bu twisted his eyebrows fiercely: "But if you find some scriveners in the house to do it, it is ......better than Uncle Ben."

"Feng Xian came here today, can you see any scribes?" Li Ru interrupted.

“…… Could it be? ”

"That's it," Li Ru clicked on the map on the table, "When the lord drove away and eliminated those aliens and rebels all the way, I have been collecting available scribes, although the manpower is still insufficient, but the restoration work of all towns has begun, but although they have official status, their status is too low, and many things are difficult to carry out smoothly, so I need you 'generals'." ”

"Guys?" Lu Bu wondered.

"Huh...... Count Feng Xianyou, Niu Fu, Hua Xiong, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, Zhang Ke, and Zhang Liao, who is being cultivated by the Lord Justice," Li Ru made a gesture of chopping people: "All are military generals, however, our troops are in high morale in the process of chasing the rebels, and they do not need to be trained, and the towns along the way look down on the wind, and there is no need to repair the city, and the people in the city are in awe of the prestige of the lord's 'ranger commander', the law and order is extremely good, and the mountain bandits and horse thieves are nowhere to be found, so, Feng Xian, improve technology or develop business, you choose a direction." ”

"Hmm......" Lu Bu stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Where is Jia Xu Jia Wenhe?" He should be well suited to lead these things. ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "The lord handed over Han Sui to Wen He, after all, he is the former rebel marshal, according to himself, he wants to use Han Sui to dig a big pit for the alien races in the northwest, and then there are guys who dare to enter the Kou to directly fill the pit and bury it - as you know, part of the rebel army led by Ma Teng and Pang De, the 'mountain horse' is still in formation, and with such a wandering army outside, many people don't dare to think about it." ”

"Hmph, it's just running fast." Thinking of the cavalry that ran away from his hands in front of him, Lu Bu had some itchy teeth.

"So, what about the choice?" Li Ru pulled the topic back.

"If Uncle Ben still chooses business, wouldn't this trip be in vain?" Lu Budao: "Just choose 'technology'!" ”

"In this case......" Li Ru thought for a while, took out a waist card engraved with the word "skill" and handed it to Lu Bu: "Although the guards everywhere should know Feng Xianyou, but the rules are the rules, if they want to check your waist cards, don't shoot them with an iron halberd." ”

"Are you stupid to be Uncle Ben? Tell me, what do you have to do to 'develop technology'? Lu Bu snatched the waist card.

"The main duties of the workshop are to improve weapons and armor, siege equipment, and baggage transport vehicles, etc., if you know anything about this, the scribes can make suggestions......" Li Ru paused: "In this way, Feng Xian, you can only make a request to the craftsmen there that you hope to achieve on the battlefield, whether it is reasonable or not, 'leading the way in the direction' is also considered progress—but do not make a request that is obviously impossible to achieve." ”

"Do you think Uncle Ben will propose the need for a battering engine that can fly?" Lu Bu sneered, turned around and left: "At most, they will be asked to build an iron halberd that will not be burned by the current, oh, it's called an 'anti-electric halberd'." ”

Fang Tian draws a halberd, okay...... Li Ru looked at Lu Bu's back and thought that Feng Xian, because of his "peerless", consumed one to ten iron halberds per battle, depending on the intensity of the battle, this matter really needed to be solved.

————

After Lu Bu left the council hall, he did not go directly to the workshop in the city, but went to the back house of the Taishou Mansion to see his daughter, and then have two drinks with his father-in-law - if he was in a hurry to complete the task just after receiving it, wouldn't it seem that he Lu Fengxian was very faceless?

Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo has been living in seclusion since he was named the assassin of Liangzhou, and most of the things are arranged by Li Ru, Lu Bu can't guess what the reason is, but this kind of thing is still left to smart people to think about.

Her daughter Lu Lingqi always likes to follow Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai, which is nothing, but she shouts out a "princess" from time to time It is more terrifying, in order to keep it secret, the old man no longer hires new servants, but uses the servants who were originally transferred to rangers to help take care of them, those guys were unmoved when they heard the word princess, but they were cautious about Dong Bai walking on thin ice, it was ridiculous, could she still eat them?

Today, the two little girls hid in the depths of the garden for some reason, muttering, and it took Lu Bu more time than usual to find them.

"Yo, I've found you." Lu Bu stepped forward and picked up the two girls one by one: "What are you doing?" ”

"Uncle," Dong Bai stretched out his short finger and pointed to the southeast sky: "We are looking at [clouds]. ”

"Oh......" Lu Bu didn't think there was anything good about Yun, so he responded: "I [came] to find Lingqi's grandfather, did Ah Bai see it?" ”

"Grandpa is in the study." Dong Bai tilted his head in response.

"Feng Xian-" A little farther away, there was a study room that could be vaguely seen and heard here, but not really, Dong Zhuo pushed open the door and beckoned to Lu Bu.

"You guys keep playing." Lu Bu put down the girls, touched their heads, and walked towards the house where Dong Zhuo was.

I have to let my father-in-law find a way to recruit more clerks, he thought, if as expected, Li Ru should assign all the "generals" to civilian positions, hey, is this called "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice"?

"Father-in-law, Li Ru, he-"

"Fengxian, I comprehend the 'unparalleled'."

“……”

After meeting Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, who originally wanted to ridicule Li Ru, stayed for a moment - wait, father-in-law, he is now over forty years old, the current general opinion is that if he has not comprehended "Wushuang" at the age of twenty, then it is no longer possible for this person to spend his life, although the "strategist characteristic" is not in this case, but it also has no combat effectiveness, isn't it?

Although Dong Zhuo is very capable of fighting as a ranger commander, and after having a full set of excellent quality weapons and equipment, he can also fight with regular peerless generals without falling behind-such as the purgatory knife that has been strengthened several times, but his own powerlessness cannot be changed, and the imperial court so happily named him a assassin, most of them also took this into account.

As a result, now he says he understood?

"Hmm...... Dead trees bloom in spring, and old trees bloom, which is gratifying. In the end, Lu Bu said.

“…… Scold. Dong Zhuo was directly laughed at angrily: "If you can't speak, just say a few words of congratulations at will, anyway, I don't plan to spread this matter." ”

"Oh, congratulations." Lu Bu responded to the Tao from kindness.

"I'm a 'peerless', but it's a little different," Dong Zhuo ignored Lu Bu's slip of the tongue and explained: "In the case of keeping a certain distance from people, the vaguely heard words will be combined into specific sentences to predict what will happen after a period of time, and it is effective for the people outside the mansion, the soldiers in the barracks, as well as the market merchants and workshop craftsmen." ”

"Oh......" Lu Bu tried to understand this sentence - it didn't seem to be a martial arts ability, but it wasn't quite the same as a strategist's trait.

"How to use this 'Wushuang', I'm still researching, and the outside world will be left to you and Wen You." Dong Zhuo looked at the two girls who were playing outside the window: "Just now I heard your conversation form the four words 'Zhao Yun is visiting', I don't know who he is and who he wants to visit, but let's mobilize your trap camp to make arrangements." ”

"Subordinates receive orders."
