Chapter 15 Sophistication

"Abu is very awesome~" Looking at Lu Bu with an indignant look, Li Jing accepted the prey with a smile, and did not take Lu Bu's rudeness to heart.

In the following months, Lu's father would ask Lu Bu to take the prey he had called to Lizheng. Even when the Lu family couldn't eat, they never stopped. If these things were used in their own home, Lu Bu believed that they would make their family better. Lu Bu wanted to give up several times, but Lu's father refused, and even brought Lu Bu to the door to give gifts in person.

Later, during the autumn harvest, Lu's father got 50% of the food he grew, 20% more than other tenants. When collecting taxes here, they were obviously the same as the ones who collected taxes, but Lu Bu clearly felt that his family actually paid less taxes, and the fight was almost halfway.

"Father, even so, the prey we gave to Li Zheng's family is much more than these foods." During the meal at the end of the year, Lu Bu still looked at his father and said dissatisfied, but this time, Lu Bu's resentment was much less.

"Wait a little longer, you'll see it next year." Lu's father said with a smile.

Although Lu Bu was still repelled, in the following year, as his father said, he would send some of the captured prey to his home, never stopping.

"Abu, I will ask a few tenants to go to your house tomorrow. This is an approval document for the county Chengli to allow the reclaiming of new land. Your family is also my old man Luzhuang, so I have left ten acres for your family." At the vernal equinox, Lu Bu, who was sending prey at home, stayed for dinner and gave Lu Bu a comment and smiled.

"This..." Lu Bu widened his eyes when he heard this and looked at Li Zheng in surprise. After all, he was not a real boy. Lu Bu stood up and bowed to Li Zheng and said, "Thank you, Li Zheng."

"You kid, young and energetic. I know you have always been dissatisfied. Are you satisfied now?" Li was taking the wine glass handed to Lu Bu and handing it to him: "You are considered a man now, drink some."

"Thank you." Lu Bu took the wine glass with both hands and sat down again.

Lu Bu didn't know how he came home in the end, and his mind was a little confused. This time, he was originally coming for revenge, but how should he calculate it now?

"Father, why is this?" When he returned home, Lu Bu saw Lu's father sitting on the threshold and feeding the chickens, and walked over silently. The chickens around him spread apart, and soon ran back and surrounded him.

"Why?" Lu's father sprinkled chicken food and sighed melancholy: "This is the rule. You hunt for wolves all year round."

Lu Bu nodded.

"In the wolves, when hunting food, the wolf king will eat it first. This is the reason. You have been sensible since childhood. This is a good thing, but you don't understand many rules. If you want to get many things in this world, you need to pay first. No one will treat you well for no reason. Just like now, there is no need to say many things. As long as you do it, most people understand it. If one day someone treats you well for no reason, if you don't know what he wants, don't accept that kindness. Some kindness is fatal." After Lu's father finished sprinkling the chicken food in his hand, he grabbed a chicken: "Go to sleep, let your mother stew a chicken for you tomorrow."

Lu Bu did not go back. After a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Dad, what if I didn't give it to you at the beginning?"

"We are like us, and we have no verbal status in the village. Suddenly, life will be better, and we will inevitably be jealous. Without the protection of the master, we will always be excluded." Lu's father was not sure.

Lu Bu was speechless. No one had ever told him these principles before. He acted more based on his preferences. Today's affairs opened up a new world for him. Many things that made him ignorant in the past suddenly became clear, but in fact they were not ignorant. Didn't Dong Zhuo show kindness to him just for Ding Yuan's head? It was just a truth that everyone in the countryside knew, but he only truly understood it now.

Many things in this world are either black or white, and it is not necessary to achieve things by force.

In the following days, the Lu family began to become busy. With ten acres of land, it was already a considerable wealth for ordinary people. At least Lu Bu's family, with the twelve acres of land alone, they could not starve and sometimes save some surplus grain.

Because Lu Bu knew how to hunt, his life was getting better and better. Although he was not as comfortable as he did in reality, he had never had the sense of peace of mind that he had eaten the food he grew.

But Lu Bu was a little unsatisfied with being a farmer all his life and burying himself in the fields all day long. He was not a person who liked to be content, especially the occurrence of another thing that caused Lu Bu to explode completely.

As the family's life gradually improved, it was time for Lu Bu to talk about marriage. According to the current conditions of the Lu family, it was not difficult to find a wife. After all, there were more than a dozen acres of land in the countryside, which was considered a little rich, let alone Lu Bu was a famous hunter in all corners of the countryside. At least he would not have to worry about food and clothing after marrying.

But although Lu Bu's wife is not a famous family, she was also a famous beauty in Jiuyuan back then. Even when she arrived in the Central Plains, she was more beautiful than most women. She was used to her wife's beauty. It was difficult to ask Lu Bu to accept an ordinary woman. You can probably know what the woman in an ordinary village family is like.

Although the youngest girl who is five years old has not grown up yet, from Lu Bu's perspective, she will not be able to see anything in the future. When it comes to women, Lu Bu still has some eyesight. It is not that ordinary families cannot produce beautiful women, but that the proportion is very low. Especially in such an era, if the daughter is beautiful in the family, she hopes to marry a wealthy family. Not to mention the benefits she can get. At least her own daughter will not suffer. Some even want to sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine, nor will she let her beautiful daughter marry an ordinary family. This will easily lead to accidents. Since ancient times, it is not unreasonable for beauty to suffer. If you marry a beautiful wife in an ordinary family, you usually won't have any good results.

Lu Bu, who was already used to stable life, suddenly felt that he could not continue like this. He didn't want to be a farmer for the rest of his life. He wanted to change. Even if he was not as glorious as in reality in this world, he wouldn't want to live his life in such a dull life.

But no matter which era, it is not easy for ordinary people to achieve class leap. If Lu Bu wants to change classes, it is useless even if he kills all the beasts in the mountains and gives them to Li Zheng. Li Zheng is not an upper class person, let alone help him climb up. All he can think of is one way to join the army!

Although Daqian is a peaceful world, there are always Hu people in the border areas who cause rebellion, and even occasionally invade the south on a large scale. Daqian also has military merits. If you want to make a name for yourself, the first thing Lu Bu thought of was his old profession and join the army!
