MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2715 everything is fine

  Chapter 2715 Everything is fine

  Wei Xu felt that he had grown up.

  Because he feels he knows more than before.

  If it was before, he would never listen to what people like Mr. Wen had to say, let alone invite him here to ask for advice face to face.

   Just like some literati among the big Han looked down on martial artists, Wei Xu also looked down on any literati before.

  The chain of contempt between each other has always existed.

   Now, Wei Xu can listen, can listen to it, and can even have his own thoughts after listening. Isn't this a growth, a progress?

  Wei Xu thinks this is a good thing, and Wei Xu thinks that he has done a little good, so he must let Lu Bu know, otherwise how would Lu Bu understand his hard work? So after listening to Mr. Wen's narration of the history of Longxi, Wei Xu went to Lu Bu to speculate and sell them now.

  『Longyou of the Great Han Dynasty in the past is like the Western Regions of today. ”Wei Xu’s voice was low and full of self-confidence, “I studied the story of Longxi a few days ago, and I got something occasionally, so I asked my lord to give me some pointers. 』

   Lu Bu was also a little interested, nodded and said: "Well, you say it. 』

  Wei Xu talked about the Longxi incident in general, and then said, "Longyou's lesson from the past is something we need to pay attention to. What do you think, there are three problems..."

  『First, you must have money. 』Wei Xu stretched out his first finger.

  Lu Bu touched the short beard on his chin, frowned and said, "Money? 』

  Wei Xu nodded, "That's right, money. My lord, don't think this matter is vulgar, but it is the most important point in the changes in Longxi in the past... In the past, Longxi had no special products, and it didn't have the power of Zhuanghe, so the soldiers' salaries, armor and weapons had to be transported thousands of miles away...My lord, If you are poor, you will want to change! If the soldiers can't get money, how can they have the intention to garrison the frontier? How can this official do his best if he can't get money? The soldiers and officials didn't have the intention to stay in the frontier for a long time, so how could there be no chaos? 』

  『Hmmm…』 Lu Bu pondered, 「It makes sense…」

  Wei Xu controlled his expression, and still said very seriously, "Open source of income is more important than saving money. We have to pay these officials and soldiers. This soldier's salary, this soldier's armor and equipment, there are all kinds of things, which one doesn't need money?" If...my lord, I'm just making an analogy, for example, if this thing was transported from Chang'an, and encountered some problems on the way...』

  『After all this wind, frost, rain and snow, no one can guarantee it, right? And here, the soldiers' salaries are all paid regularly, in case there is a delay or something, will the soldiers and officials go to the hussars to ask for the soldiers' salaries, or ask us for money? So ah, we must have money! At least in the event of a situation similar to Longxi, we won't panic because of it! 』

   Lu Bu thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Wei Xu said.

If you are not in charge of the family, you will never know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, and you will never know how much money you need to spend on eating and drinking like this every day, so Wei Xu said that some preparations should be made just in case. What Wei Xu said made sense.

  『That’s right, that’s right, that’s true,’ Lu Bu nodded and said, ‘It’s the fault of those sour literati who are ashamed to talk about money. We have to do practical things. How can we let the soldiers have nothing to eat because of the taboo to talk about money? But how do you get this money? You can't take any crooked ways. 』

  Who doesn't like money?

  Wei Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, "How is this possible?" ! Lord, you underestimate me! We can learn from hussars! How did the hussars get the money? Do business! Make money by doing business deals! We run our own shops and businesses, and we happen to have what other people need, and the price is profitable, isn’t it business? Isn't this money upright? 』

   Lu Bu smiled very relieved, nodded, "Yes, yes, that's what it is. If you have any other ideas, please continue to talk about it...」

  Wei Xu said: "The second point is to have the hearts of the people. The reason why Longxi failed back then was that it was unpopular with the people. The Han people and the Qiang people are both human beings with different customs. Therefore, we must not only win the support of the Han people, but also pay attention to the problems of the Hu people. In fact, many ordinary Hu people are very simple people, not so cruel, as long as they think that we can help them solve their problems, they will save a lot of trouble...』

"right! This is really..." Lu Bu clapped his hands, "Back then... uh, forget it, you continue to say, this is true, but how to do it specifically? 』

Lu Bu originally wanted to say that when he traveled alone in Jiuyuan, the Hu people he met in the desert were also very enthusiastic. He never said that Lu Bu was a Han and treated him coldly. Then, these hospitable barbarians will turn into a group of vicious ghosts.

   This used to be something that Lu Bu didn't understand very much. He even simply thought that as long as all the barbarians who came to commit crimes and turned bad were killed, wouldn't there be better barbarians left?

   But in fact, this world is never that simple.

  『My lord, I have a way to get these barbarians,』 Wei Xu glanced at Lu Bu, and then said, 『It’s just to give some false titles...』

"What's the meaning? ’ Lu Bu frowned as expected.

"It's like this," Lu Bu's prestige is still there, Wei Xu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "The false title probably means "Minjue", which is the one created by Emperor Xiaowu back then. Are you doing it too? I heard that some barbarian went to Chang'an, and took the title of the most friendly businessman of the big man... What I mean is almost this, anyway, there is no actual authority, just a title...』

   Anyway, it's just a false title.

  Of course, in the beginning it was like this...

"Oh, that's it..." Lu Bu's brows eased a little. It's just a name and no real power, so the problem is not too big, but Lu Bu thought of another question, "I said, to be honest, these things are Who taught you this? That Mr. Wen? What did he tell you, and what is his intention? 』

Wei Xu waved his hands again and again, and said, "My lord, these are not what Mr. Wen said, they were all thought up by myself... If you don't believe me, you can ask someone. I just asked Mr. Wen to talk about the past in Longyou and Longxi. It’s just a matter, at most I just said it once or twice, and I definitely didn’t ask Mr. Wen to come up with any strategy. These methods are really my own ideas, so I only dare to tell the lord...』

   Lu Bu stared at Wei Xu, his eyelids stood up, and there was only a little black eyeball left.

When Lu Bu frowned and stared at someone or something, an invisible aura emanated from his body. This was the state of a hunter staring at his prey, or like a butcher staring at an animal about to be slaughtered. .

  Wei Xu's forehead was a little sweaty.

  『I’ll ask about it,』 Lu Bu nodded, his brows loosened a bit, 『You have been with me the longest, so you should know my habits...』

  Wei Xu nodded again and again, "I know, my lord, I understand that only you are the most reliable. Those literati who play tricks are **** and cannot be trusted!" 』

"As long as you know. ”Lu Bu stroked his beard, his expression calmed down a bit, “Continue to talk…”

"Actually, this is connected from the first point..." Wei Xu secretly wiped his sweat, "We want money and our own business, but how can we make more Hu people trust us and do more with us?" What about business? Of course, we have to learn from Huqi. Didn’t Huqi give those Hu merchants the title of goodwill ambassador? We can also give it, and we can also give out some false names of our surrounding areas, which were originally Hu people’s territory. Let the barbarians fight with the barbarians, rob, and fight, so that we can get money and save trouble at the same time...』

  『Well, it’s kind of interesting, hahahaha…』 Lu Bu laughed, frowning, “It’s kind of interesting! If it's all your own thinking, then you've really put in some effort! 』

   Lu Bu stood up, with his hands behind his back, walking in circles in the hall, thinking.

This method was actually used by Dahan very early on, and it has been used one after another, so it cannot be said to be Wei Xu's original creation, but Wei Xu's ability to connect these things together is indeed a way for people to Lu Bu was a little surprised.

If Lu Bu can be ten years younger, no, maybe only five years younger, then Lu Bu will scoff at Wei Xu's suggestion, and that young Lu Bu will feel that the strategy can only stay in the gutter forever, and the real strength still needs to be on the battlefield see the outcome. If you don't accept it, hit it!

   But now...

  Lu Bu began to consider using a more labor-saving method.

  『You can give it a try,』 Lu Bu nodded, 『Try it first. 』

  Give it a try.

  Wei Xu secretly let out a sigh of relief. Lu Bu can let go, which means that Wei Xu can get money from it. This is a fat job, the super fat one!

  Thinking of this, Wei Xu couldn't help but feel happy, "My lord, the third point, I haven't said it yet, the lord has already done it!" The lord is indeed extremely wise! 』

  『Oh, haha,』 Lu Bu smiled and sat down again, 『What did I do? 』

  『Try it out, don’t be impatient, don’t rush for success! Wei Xu said, "This is the third point of my summary of Longxi's story!" Didn't the lord do it all? My lord is wise! 』

  「Ahahaha...」 Lu Bu waved his hand, "Over the years, you have improved, so should I, too, hahaha..."

  『How can my progress be compared with that of the lord? ”Wei Xu gave two thumbs up, “I still have to learn more from the lord!” 』

   Lu Bu laughed again, and then asked Wei Xu to explain in detail.

"Longxi was in great turmoil back then, and the cause was actually a trivial matter. As a result, the prefect of Longxi wrote a letter to the court, saying that the Qiang people had rebelled and were going to fight," Wei Xu said, "In a blink of an eye, the Qiang people themselves couldn't make up their minds. Then I had to talk to the prefect of Longxi to discuss peace, but the prefect of Longxi reported that the Qiang rebellion had been sent away...』

   Lu Bu sighed, "That's right, a fight really broke out in the end. 』

  The Xiqiang rebellion dealt a heavy blow to the Han.

  For future generations, it may be just a few words on the book, but for Lu Bu, this is a disaster for the Bingzhou military group, Jiuyuan and other places.

  Because of wanting to pacify Xiqiang, the border defense of Bingzhou was transferred. As a result, Xiqiang failed to pacify and the defense system of Bingzhou collapsed.

  『I listened to Mr. Wen tell the story of Longxi, and I thought about it for a long time. I think this badge is actually a very serious problem, and it may even be the biggest problem! ”Wei Xu said in a deep voice, “As the prefect of Longxi, before the matter is fully settled, he easily put on the table, and as a result, the place that could have been flexibly changed is gone...”

  『I’m thinking, if the prefect of Longxi at that time, take it easy, take it easy, give it a try, and not be so anxious to confirm the rebellion of the Qiang people, is it possible that the rebellion would not happen at all? ”Wei Xu said while thinking, “As a result, as soon as the seal is issued, everything becomes a conclusion. It is more or less the fault of making a fuss out of a molehill to spread the military situation! So it becomes necessary to fight, even if it is a peace negotiation! 』

Wei Xu sighed, "So I think the governor of Longxi may not have known that it was wrong for him to kill the leaders of the Qiang people, but he had to kill them, because only by killing them can they fight, and only after they fight can they be allowed to appear on the table." That's right..."

"All of this, in the final analysis, is too impatient," Wei Xu said, "Longxi is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and everything may change at any time, so if the report does not conform to the actual change, who will be counted at that time fault? If you have a problem, take it easy, take it easy, try it, and report it when you are sure, otherwise it will be like the old Longxi prefect...』

  "You mean..." Lu Bu stroked the beard on his chin, "Can't report undecided matters? But Zhiyinjian, it doesn’t matter if we report it or not...』

Wei Xu smiled, "Then make it clear, those who have to try it out, these are not certain things, so we can't report them with certain words...Anyway, what we are going to do is not for the stability of the Western Regions, not for the frontier of the Han Dynasty what? We figure out ways to make money by ourselves, and give subsidies to soldiers and officials. Could it be that something is wrong? If the superior prohibits it, speak directly to the soldiers and officials! Can Director Zhi Yin reverse black and white? ! 』

"Subsidies are needed, money is needed, how does the money come from, of course it is to do business, and to be given a false title. Since hussars can do it, so can we here," Wei Xu continued, "We encountered problems, and we tried to solve them. Question, should you give it a try? Is it possible that you are not allowed to try it? I believe that these things, whether it is the soldiers and officials of the Western Regions, or the ups and downs of Chang'an, can all be understood...』

  Do you want to try it out? Try it out for one day, one month, or one year. It’s called a trial run.

  Even ten or twenty years, can’t we continue to try?

  What Wei Xu is most worried about is that his methods of making money have been reported, so if someone comes to investigate, isn't it the end of the game? Now if it is just a trial run, so what if someone comes to investigate? Anyway, it’s just a try. Are you trying hard to solve the problem? If someone says no, then give a feasible method, or just keep trying.

  『So…』 Lu Bu scratched his fingers, 『What you concluded from the old stories in Longxi is that you want to make money, pretend to be a title, and report these three points slowly? 』

  Wei Xu nodded repeatedly, "My lord is wise! This lesson from the past in Longxi is what we can learn from! I don’t know what the lord thinks, is it okay…”

Lu Bu thought for a while, and wanted to nod at first, but he thought of Wei Xucai's words of "try it slowly", so he stopped, thought for a while, and said, "You go back first, I will think about it." Besides. 』

  『Uh…』Wei Xu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded in response, and then left.

Since Wei Xu followed Lu Bu, he didn't think much about other things, but he thought about Lu Bu a lot, so based on Wei Xu's understanding of Lu Bu, there is a high probability that Lu Bu would agree to this matter, so Wei Xu didn't ask Lu Bu to be on the spot. It means to make a decision.

  After Wei Xu left, Lu Bu pondered for a while, and then suddenly called out: "Come on, go find that Zuo Chuan that the hussars gave me!" 』

Wei Xu could listen to the stories told by Mr. Wen, and understand some truths, but he is a dignified Wenhou, a big man Lu Bu, who obviously has the Zuo Zhuan given by Huqi himself, so why can't he read more truths? come?

After a while, the guard who was ordered to find Zuo Chuan didn't come back, and after a while, he still didn't come back. Just when Lu Bu was about to get angry, the guard came back with his head full of sweat and his face full of dust, and then worked hard Patting the dust on Zuo Zhuan's books, he apologized to Lu Bu.

  『Why is it so slow? All right, all right, let's go. 』Lu Bu took the book, and then felt that the book was too dusty, so he patted it aside a few times, which immediately stirred up a large cloud of dust.

  The guard lowered his head, didn't dare to say anything, but muttered in his heart, you want to read this book, so next time Marquis Wen, can you stop throwing it around? Almost turned the house upside down!

   Lu Bu waved his sleeves to disperse some dust. Fortunately, the Western Regions are relatively dry. The books are just a little dusty. Others are fine. There is nothing like Jiangdong, which is moldy at every turn.

  But before Lu Bu finished the first page, he felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he couldn't help it. He shook his head violently, and insisted on turning to the second page. As a result, his body turned sideways...

"Something's wrong..." Lu Bu shook his head, and took the Zuo Zhuan away, "Why do I read any other books, like young genius doctors, why do I read this Zuo Zhuan... um... Could it be this Uncle Duan, oh, no, it’s Uncle Zheng who has a grudge against me? 』

  He was able to read a little bit before, but now he doesn't know why, and suddenly he can't watch it. It's like an English dictionary has hatred for every child who wants to recite it, and the first word that comes up is abandon.

   This is definitely the kind of deep hatred and hatred.

  『Come on, man! Lu Bu shook his head, "Do you know how to read?" Very good, come on, read! 』

  Lu Bu felt that since Wei Xu could hear the truth from Mr. Wen's Longxi story, then he couldn't see it, so he could always listen to it, right?

  The guard cleared his throat and began to read, "Spring of the first year, Wang Zhengyue. In March, Gong and Zhu Yifu allied with Yu Mie. Xia Wuyue, Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan...』

   Lu Bu listened, and then felt dark for a while, and almost fell to the floor.

  『Bastard! ’ Lü Bu was furious, ‘Why is it always ‘Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan’ every day, it’s Zheng Bo again, it’s Zheng Bo again! Zheng Bo every day! I read this last time, and I will read this again this time! I want to sleep when I hear Zheng Bo! 』

   The guard defended, "Last time? My lord, it wasn't me who went to school last time! 』

   Lu Bu stared, "But Zheng Bo is the same!" 』

  Guard:『…』

   "Forget it..." Lu Bu waved his hand, "Change another section, change another section!" 』

  『As ordered,』the guard turned a few pages back, and then read, 『In the spring of the first year, Wang Zhengyue, the Duke ascended the throne. In March, the guild Zheng Bo Yu Chui, Zheng Bo...ah, let me change again...』

  The guard quickly turned back again, and then checked to see if there was "Zheng Bo", and then read it when there was no more.

   After a while.

   Lu Bu fell asleep...
