Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

It has been ten years since the Great Wei ruled the world. In the past ten years, apart from gathering doctors at the border to study medical skills, Lu Bu has also done several things.

The first thing is to spread the method of excellent seeds. Although the past few years have not been good, the people's harvest has increased year by year.

In addition, it is recommended that the imperial court open academies in various places, and the printing technique flows to the people, so that books are no longer a scarce commodity, and the scope of the imperial court's selection of scholars has been expanded. The imperial examination has been conducted three times, and children from poor families account for as much as 20%. Not many, but in the Sui Dynasty, although there were imperial examinations, it was rare for children from poor families to be admitted.

In addition, Lu Bu asked people to find cotton in the body, and introduced the Great Wei to plant it in large quantities. Nowadays, people in the north rarely see people who freeze to death.

However, as the imperial court reformed the former system, it may be because it went too fast, and there were many problems, the most obvious of which was the rampant corruption.

In the past, the gentry was in power, and it was easy to form a monopoly and pose a threat to the imperial power. However, the gentry also had benefits. Most of them were rich and wealthy, and there was little corruption. Now, the imperial examinations are the main way to select scholars. Although the threat of the gentry to the imperial power has been disintegrated, it has also made Corruption is rampant, and many people in the court now hope to abolish the imperial examination. Sitting on the couch, Lu Gu poured a cup of tea for Lu Bu, and told him about the difficulty of the court recently.

What do you think, father? Lu Bu asked after taking a sip from the teacup.

There are many diseases that people don't know about before they are born. If you have a disease that no one knows about, what you should do is to think about how to treat it instead of recovering the confirmed disease. How can there be such a reason? Lu Gu shook his head. road.

It is indeed a problem that imperial examinations make corruption rampant, but scholars are not greedy when they are in power, because they have already occupied a lot of resources and wealth, so there is no need to be greedy.

It just so happens that you are back this time, and others have said a lot, but none of them seem to be appropriate. What can my son do? Lu Gu asked with a smile.

If you want to deal with corruption, you can start from two aspects: the root cause and the behavior. Lu Bu thought while drinking tea: Corruption is precisely because there is no, the imperial court can increase the salaries of hundreds of officials. The emperor also said that the scholars Not to be greedy is because of existence, you can’t let the officials be as rich as the scholars, but you can’t live too much wronged, this is the root cause, and it is also a kindness.”

Lv Gu nodded, which is understandable, looked at Lv Bu and asked, So what about behavior?

Using the law to regulate, all corrupt people will never be tolerated. There should be swords hanging on the heads of all officials. Lu Bu said: Anyone who corrupts more than a thousand dollars will be killed. Distributed to the frontier, never recruited, the imperial court has not recruited scholars for three years, and now there is a suspicion that it has recruited too many scholars, officials are role models for the people, if they cannot be the masters of the people, what is the use of retaining them?

One hand is rich, and the other is a butcher's knife. If under the rich salary, people are still corrupt and corrupt, then there is no need to keep this kind of person.

Lu Gu nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, looked at Lu Bu with a smile and said, It's good to have both civil and military skills.

Lu Bu didn't bother to correct his father's mistakes. It wasn't a big problem anyway, but he treated the country as a human being.

The gentry must suppress this aspect. Although the father and son start from different angles, their attitudes are very consistent. Aristocratic families can exist, but they must not be large. The existence of the five surnames and seven Wangs in the past must be reduced to history.

After saying this, Lu Gu looked at Lu Bu and said, By the way, why did my son come back this time?

Suddenly I have some ideas. If this can be done, it will be of great benefit to the world! Lu Bu laughed.

Oh? Lu Gu looked at Lu Bu in confusion.

Father, you don't need to ask any more questions. I want all the craftsmen from the capital to come. Lu Bu laughed.

Three years ago, Lu Bu made a textile machine that could be driven by water power, which greatly saved the manpower for weaving, and made the status of craftsmen in the Wei Dynasty soar in recent years, especially the craftsmen who can make water-powered textile machines are highly sought after. .

For this reason, the imperial court specially set up grades for craftsmen. Even if they did not work, high-ranking craftsmen had the same salary and rights as officials of the imperial court. Local officials had no right to punish high-ranking craftsmen, and the court had to judge them.

It is also because of this that many people prefer to learn a craft rather than study. After all, the benefits of being a craftsman can be seen in a short period of time, which also reduces the resistance of the imperial court to promote the status of craftsmen.

Because not only the aristocratic family wants to recruit powerful craftsmen, but also private merchants, and they are willing to pay a higher price, and at the same time, they are willing to be a backer for these craftsmen. There is nothing to do.

Oh? Lu Gu nodded with a smile and said, It's just right, there are 437 craftsmen from the first rank to the third rank in the court. If my son recruits, no one will reject him.

Lu Bu is an important driving force for the improvement of the status of craftsmen. At the same time, he also has the reputation of contemporary Luban among the people. In the hearts of craftsmen, Lu Bu has a very high status. With him taking the lead, most craftsmen are willing to come to him, even without an order from the court. At the beginning, Lu Bu invited Sun Simiao and famous doctors all over the world. Sun Simiao, who had lived in seclusion for half his life, went down the mountain with Lu Bu to the border to study medicine without any hesitation.

It’s funny to think about it. Lu Bu’s appeal is not only useful in the court, but also in the people. After all, whether it is the method of superior seeds or various things that benefit the people, Lu Bu can be said to have solved the problem that countless sages have not solved for thousands of years. many problems.

When should I use it? Lu Gu asked with a smile.

In the past few days, I've made something first. Lu Bu explained.

Okay, they can call anytime.

Lu Bu's Prince's Mansion is different from what ordinary people imagined. There are no pavilions, some are full of equipment that Lu Bu found, but the place is spacious enough, and more than 400 craftsmen gather here and it is not too crowded.

Three days later, four hundred well-known craftsmen from the Great Wei gathered at Lu Bu's side. They were curious about what innovations the legendary Prince of Wei could bring when he returned to the court this time.

But I saw that Lu Bu laid a wooden rail on the ground, made a couple of railcars, and then put a small porcelain jar half filled with water on it. The mouth of the porcelain jar was backwards and very small. Fired porcelain jars.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, as the water in the porcelain pot boiled, the small track car began to run by itself. It seemed simple, but it made everyone exclaim.

Did you all see it? After the rail car circled a few times on the wooden rails laid in the courtyard, and gradually stopped as the water dried up, Lu Bu looked at everyone.

I've seen it countless times, and I just found out that there is still such a usage today! Several craftsmen looked at Lu Bu in amazement. Before that, Lu Bu used water power to make the water spinning machine, but what is it now? Fire and water go hand in hand? Everyone bowed to Lu Bu and said, The prince's whimsical ideas, I admire them!

Don't be so impressed. Lu Bu waved his hand, This thing looks simple, but if it is enlarged, what kind of earthenware jar will it need? How much charcoal fire will it need? Bu just thought of the prototype, but how can it be enlarged? The power of water and fire is mixed, so what is the use of it? It is not possible for me to do it alone. I wanted to gather craftsmen from all over the world to think about their strategies, but there may not be a consensus among many people. Everyone is invited to come here and discuss this matter together. Today, Bu made a promise to the court on behalf of the court. If anyone can make achievements in this area, he can be upgraded to a higher rank. Official status, and a reward of 100,000 yuan and 100 pieces of brocade!

During the Great Qin Dynasty, Lu Bu had enjoyed the benefits brought by the power of a country, but now he can use it with ease.

The saying that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward is also valid in the field of craftsmen. Lu Bu not only promised real money, but the most important thing was the opportunity to enter the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry is different. It is not only the construction of water conservancy, but also the construction and development of the whole world. The person who concurrently serves as Minister of the Ministry of Industry is Lu Bu, the prince of the current dynasty. When he enters the Ministry of Industry, he is directly appointed under the rule of Lu Bu.

The benefits of this are not just what you can see right now. After Lu Bu succeeds to the throne in the future, their identities will also rise. It is under the stimulation of these conditions that everyone spares no effort to try after leaving can perfect this thing.

After the gentry and wealthy merchants from all over the world knew about it, they also supported these craftsmen at all costs. They knew that if they could succeed, among other things, they would definitely have the priority to use the things they made.

There are some radical ones who use explosives directly, but Lu Bu has already gone through this road before, and it doesn't work at all. After paying the price of an arm, he chose to give up and choose mild water to test.

Stimulated by these conditions, in the next three years, all kinds of strange things appeared in Chang'an City. First, the rail car that Lu Bu had experimented with was made, but the body was a bit big, three feet three feet tall and long. It is ten feet long and two feet wide. Not to mention the heavy weight, it must be carried by rails made of steel. If you want to use it, you must lay steel rails.

The one made by another person was used on ships. Although three ships were sunk, in the end, if a ship that can carry such a huge equipment is made, it can only be moved by the ship. A ship that big can only be carried by two ships at most. People can't hold it anymore.

But no matter what, after all, I can see some shadows of being used in practice.

For the next ten years, Great Wei did not make any major external moves. Except for the necessary expenses, all taxes were invested in the use of this yin and yang furnace.

Ten years seems to be a long time, but for Dawei, these ten years are really not long. The yin and yang furnace seems to have encountered a bottleneck, and the material supplier cannot completely isolate it. In this decade, it has shrunk quite a bit.

Moreover, after driving ships and cars at the beginning, the Yin-Yang Furnace was gradually used for mining, which greatly increased the mining rate of Wei Wei.

In particular, the mining of iron ore and carbon has increased, and the problem of railroad tracks, which used to be the biggest problem, is no longer a problem...
