Chapter 7 Confused
After putting down the booklets in his hand, Lu Bu was a little unwilling to accept it. It was obviously the same world, with Beiguan and Yan Changkong, but there was no self in this historical record. It was obviously just a matter of more than ten years ago, but the last time I simulated the world, it seemed that I had never passed myself. In the end, the result of Beiguan was that Yan Changkong and his family were buried in Beiguan.
Although I knew that this was just a dreamlike world, the achievements I had worked hard for throughout my life were erased like this, which made Lu Bu a little confused. Not only this simulated world, but also whether the real world he thought would be a dream for himself... maybe even someone else's dream.
"Brother Bu!" Several young men who were about the same age as Lu Bu ran towards Lu Bu. Although they were wearing Confucian robe and holding books in their hands, Lu Bu has always been dressed as a scholar at the request of Lu's father over the years, but the evil aura between his eyebrows could not be hidden. Standing in the crowd gave people the first feeling that this person was not easy to provoke, rather than a weak scholar.
"What's the matter?" Lu Bu closed the book and frowned.
"I heard that the barbarians have gone south recently. The county magistrate is discussing with everyone to respond to the enemy's plan, but everyone feels that the city cannot be defended." A young man with a wide forehead looked at Lu Bu and said anxiously: "Why don't we leave too."
"Where can you go? Cangzhou has been taken down by the Hulu. There is no danger to guard north of Cangjiang. There is still a city to rely on in the city. But if you are outside the city, you can run four legs than the Hulu?" Lu Bu frowned, a little upset. He never thought that one day the Hu people would become a great enemy, and they would be crushed by the general trend. Even if this is not a Han person, the cultural customs are almost the same. It is difficult for Lu Bu to understand why the people here are afraid of the Hu people as if they were tigers?
Where did the aura of men in Beiguan have gone in the early years?
In recent years, the people in the north migrated south in circles. Because the Daqian court crossed the Cangjiang River and established the court in Jiangnan, Huizhou, an originally not important city, was to reorganize the defense line due to the fall of Cangzhou, and the prefectures in Jiangbei had to reorganize their defense lines, so they became one of the important core cities in Jiangbei. Although most of the refugees who moved south from the north every year went to cross the river, as Huizhou gradually became the core city in Jiangbei, many of them remained.
There are many people, few land, and most people have no industry. Although Huizhou is a core city, it is actually better than other cities. In this kind of anxiety-prone environment, Huizhou's public security is very chaotic.
Lu’s father was working in the government, and there was less trouble. Lu Bu often appeared in dirty and messy places in Huizhou. The people at the bottom were not fed. Although they did not eat, they froze to death every winter and starved to death. In that kind of place, no one cared about death. It was fine in winter. In summer, the corpse was untreated for a long time and it was easy to cause epidemics. Therefore, a profession that had never been heard of before was derived from the corpse.
Although Lu's father had taken a job in the government, it was obvious that he was not the turn of the upper class of Huizhou. As his son, Lu Bu was unwilling to curry favor with others, so it was naturally difficult for him to integrate into the circle of the top second generations of Huizhou.
In fact, most powerful people have already found ways to send their families to the south of Cangjiang. The so-called second-generation top-level generation is just a relative or a concubine. They disdain Lu Bu's birth, and Lu Bu is too lazy to pay attention to these people. In recent years, he has selected some children from the refugees who are good-talented in his opinion. If he has a family, he will take his parents as tenant farmers and be tenant farmers for the Lu family. At least it is better than most refugees.
As for those who had no parents, Lu Bu was also raised by his side and taught them to learn martial arts and literacy. Lu's father did not stop him. Although the family was burdened a little, he was not as good as he could do in the yamen. He could still afford to raise more people. Besides, in this chaotic era, he could feel at ease if he had a few helpers at home.
The only thing that puzzled Lu’s father was that his son didn’t seem to be very talented, so why did he always learn martial arts without a teacher and teach others?
Lu Bu did not explain this. Sometimes, the explanation seemed guilty, and Lu's father was only confused for a few days before he was left alone. Maybe there was really someone who knew it innately.
But as his son, Lu Bu is more like a warrior, which makes Lu's father, who has always regarded himself as a scholar, feels a little regretful.
"If Brother Bu doesn't leave, then I won't leave!" the young man said with his chest straight.
They don’t know much about the truth, but they who struggled to survive among the refugees attach more importance to loyalty. Lu Bu gave them food and made them human beings. They were willing to follow Lu Bu. They couldn’t hold too many ideas in their young minds, but they always felt that they could feel safe by being around Lu Bu.
Lu Bu nodded. He had been raising these people for two years. If the Hulu was scared to run away as soon as he arrived, he would have to be considered blind.
In this chaotic world, there will definitely be war in the future. If you don’t have the courage, what future can you expect in the future?
However, the general trend is surging, and although I don’t want to admit it, as the cowardly Daqian court fled to Jiangnan, the strategic areas in the north were lost, and it was difficult to find Ma Yuan and could not train cavalry in the south. Faced with the Hu people sweeping across the Central Plains, Lu Bu was also confused about how to deal with the Hu people at this time.
He always felt that the Hu people were weak, but everyone around him felt that the Hu people were very strong. Everyone in Daqian had been carved into the bones by the Hu people with a butcher knife in just over ten years. Lu Bu found that it seemed a bit difficult to eliminate this fear that was carved into the bones.
He must have an army in his hand, strong army, and obey his orders. This is also the reason why Lu Bu trained these people, and it is also considered a long-term plan.
But it is easy to say that if you want to form a strong army, people are needed. These days, refugees are everywhere, but if you have to train the army, you must have money and food. Relying on your father’s salary and dozens of acres of land at home, not to mention whether your father is willing to harm his family’s assets. Even if you are willing, how many soldiers can he recruit?
So in recent times, in addition to being confused about the meaning of life, Lu Bu is also confused about how to make money. The formal way to make money is either not impossible or ineligible. When Lu Bu really wanted to make money, he found that almost all the things that could make a lot of money in Huizhou were monopolized by the senior officials headed by Huizhou County Magistrate.
"Is there any way to make money?" Lu Bu looked at everyone. He was too young now and couldn't do many things, but he should prepare in advance. But Lu Bu didn't understand how to make money. He hoped someone could help him.
"Rob!"
"Robbery the rich and help the poor!"
Lu Bu: "..."
