Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

When Sun Quan came back, Zhang Zhao was already waiting for him.

Compared with Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao visited an old friend on this day, and now he is a servant of the court, and he is also one of the Jiuqing, equal to Lu Bu.

It's a pity that besides Lv Bu, the other people in Jiuqing don't have much real power. Lu Bu stayed in the position of Jiuqing to suppress others.

To put it bluntly, most of today's Jiuqing are used by Lu Bu to make up their numbers. They themselves understand this, and what they don't understand is gone. Most of them are now behaving with their tails between their legs, as low-key as possible, Just wait for the time to be able to retreat completely.

There, Zhang Zhao completely understood why Guanzhong is so prosperous now, but the scholars seem to have disappeared.

In fact, it's not that the scholars disappeared, but that the court didn't recognize the existence of scholars. You can be famous, and you can talk to each other as before, but no matter what, you don't have any privileges when you come to the court. Punishment has to be punished, and it is precisely because of this that even if you see scholars on the street today, they are no different from ordinary people. Without the high aloofness, there is a bit more market spirit. This is the status quo of the Guanzhong gentry.

Even with the gradual rise of the humble and rich families supported by Lu Bu, the boundaries between the noble families and the wealthy families became more and more blurred, which made Zhang Zhao feel a little flustered.

Lu Bu is telling the world with the facts, it seems that the scholars are not as important as the legends say, and the gentry will make the world more prosperous if they lose their privileges. Lu Bu means.

Of course, Sun Ce did not really imitate Lu Bu. Sun Ce's policy was actually to suppress the Jiangdong gentry, but at the same time he used Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other foreign scholars.

But even so, if Lu Bu achieved any results here, it would be tantamount to pointing out another way for the princes of the world, and this way is not friendly to scholars.

"Young master, did you gain something today?" Zhang Zhao forced a smile when he saw Sun Quan came back, and asked.

"The prosperity of Chang'an Fang City is far better than that of the Central Plains." Sun Quan sighed, "In addition to what I have seen and heard along the way, these alone are enough to conclude that Lu Bu is indeed the hero. I really want to see you soon. See this Wei Wei."

"It should take some time. I heard that Lv Bu is convening people to write books recently, mainly to do these things. It is not difficult to meet the emperor, but it is very difficult to meet Lv Bu." Zhang Zhao said with emotion.

Now Lv Bu is powerful over the Son of Heaven, but not many people in Guanzhong care about this matter, at least it is not important to the common people. As for those who think it is important, they even have to be careful when speaking in Guanzhong, which is quite sad.

"Mr. Zibu, I got something in the market today, which is related to the world. Come and see." Sun Quan seemed to have thought of something, and asked someone to bring the book he had sent back in advance.

"It's related to the world?" Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan curiously. There should be many things related to the world in this pass, such as Lu Bu's military equipment, how much money and food the court has available. If you really ask about these things, your life may be in danger.

"En." Sun Quan took the books brought by his subordinates, pushed them in front of Zhang Zhao and said, "Sir, take a look at these."

Zhang Zhao nodded, took the top one and opened it, his face blushed instantly, he dropped the book and said, "How do you think about these things, my lord?"

"No..." Then Sun Quan remembered that there was another wordless book, but he pressed the wordless book at the bottom, so why it was at the top is a little hard to argue.

"It's the other ones. I don't know where this book came from." Sun Quan took out two historical records without blushing, and handed them to Zhang Zhaodao.

Zhang Zhao looked at him with a frown, and then flipped through the book. After a while, he said, "What's wrong with Sima Gong's historical records? But this paper is not like Caihou's paper."

The paper created by Cai Lun was occasionally used by people to practice calligraphy, but it was not easy to use. The book in front of him looked like paper, but it was ten times better than Caihou paper in terms of texture and appearance, and Zhang Zhao couldn’t help it. sigh.

"Sir, read another book." Sun Quan pointed to another book of historical records.

Zhang Zhao opened another book according to his words, the content was the same, but there was no difference.

He looked at Sun Quan strangely.

"Sir, what's the difference between these two volumes?" Sun Quan asked with a smile.

"Different?" Zhang Zhao knew that Sun Quan had a delicate mind. Since he said so, there must be something wrong. He continued to read it now, but he didn't find any difference. No matter the content, handwriting or typo, they were all exactly the same...

exactly the same! ?

Zhang Zhao's heart suddenly moved, and he carefully compared the two books again, and they were almost identical, but even if they were written by the same person, they would never be exactly the same.

"This book was rubbed!?" Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan.

"If it's just two volumes, it's not difficult, but sir, there are at least a hundred volumes of the same book on the bookstall, all of which are the same." Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao: "I'm afraid it's not a simple rubbing!"

Zhang Zhao nodded. The ordinary rubbing method does not have this effect, but this is not the most important thing. He raised his head and looked at Sun Quan: "My lord is saying...someone is selling it in Fangshi!?"

Books, not to mention the value of thousands of gold, some orphan copies may not be sold for ten thousand gold. Although Shiji, Four Books and Five Classics are common, they are also common among scholars, so how can they be sold in the market?

"That's right." Sun Quan nodded and said, "Mister, do you know how much money this item costs?"

"The workmanship of this book is exquisite, at least it costs tens of thousands of dollars a copy." Zhang Zhao thought while stroking his beard.

After all, it is made of paper, so it is not easy to pass it on to the family, but it is still a rare item, and ten thousand coins is already very conservative.

Sun Quan shook his head: "Mr. may not believe it if you say it. This kind of books only cost two five baht per book, and there are a lot of them."

Zhang Zhao's eyes froze when he heard the words, he looked at Sun Quan, and then at the book in his hand, a little unbelievable: "Your Majesty's words are true?"

"I saw it with my own eyes." Sun Quan said with certainty.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao stood up, frowned in thought, took a few steps back and forth, then looked at Sun Quan and said, "My lord, this matter is of great importance, perhaps it is Lu Bu's plan to bring chaos to the world!"

"The appearance of these books will bring many more literate people under Lu Bu's command, but if you want to talk about learning, it's not just about reading and writing! Mr. Zi Bu's words are too serious." Although Sun Quan also felt the matter It's important, but I don't think it's enough to bring disaster to the world.

"My lord only knows one thing. Although the population in Guanzhong is not as large as that of the Central Plains, it is united as one. You should know this." Zhang Zhao shook his head.

"That's right." Sun Quan nodded. This is what he has learned the most during his journey. The people in Guanzhong support Lu Bu from the bottom of their hearts. It can be said that it is almost impossible to cause chaos in Guanzhong from the inside. This is terrifying.

"What Lu Bu lacks now is not enough people to govern." Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice.

Lv Bu's current shortcoming is the lack of talent reserves. It is no problem to govern Guanzhong, but if he wants to leave Guanzhong, even if Lu Bu can win the Guandong princes, there are not enough people to govern.

Of course, with Guanzhong's current strength, it is impossible to really sweep the Central Plains.

"Sir, are you saying that Lu Bu can win the hearts of scholars in the Kanto region with these books?" Sun Quan asked curiously.

"Of course it's impossible!" Zhang Zhao shook his head. The conflict between Lu Bu and the scholars was not just a matter of background: "However, with these, Lu Bu can attract the world's poor, and now Lu Bu opened the Chang'an Academy, and now it may just teach people to read. But what about ten years from now?"

What Lu Bu was after was obviously not for short-term profit, at least in Zhang Zhao's view, as long as he could print out such cheap books continuously and spend ten years burying his head in discovering them, why would he worry about having no talents?

When Zhang Zhao visited his friends before, when he heard that Lu Bu opened Chang'an Academy, Zhang Zhao still felt a little disdainful. Talents cannot be cultivated by just opening an academy, even with the help of great Confucians like Cai Yong. In addition, books are also very important.

It is precisely because Zhang Zhao talked about this with people today, so after seeing these books, he immediately thought of the academy. Lu Bu was cultivating a wide range of literate people for the academy, and when the time was right, Lu Bu could directly produce many more people here. Talent, by then, Lu Bu will overthrow the current political form of the gentry!

"Ten... ten years?" Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao in astonishment, and said worriedly, "Sir, do you think... the world will be in chaos for ten years?"

Ten years, is it enough to unify the world? Ten years later, Lu Bu is still there?

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao sighed softly, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Now all the heroes in the world are rising together. After Yuan Benchu ​​defeated Gongsun Zan, he dominated the three states of Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. He is already the well-deserved overlord of the north.

Lu Bu dominates Guanzhong, not only has the power of the pre-Qin period, but also has the power of the emperor. Looking at Lu Bu's actions in the past few years, regardless of his position, Lu Bu is also the overlord. There may not be any results.

Especially Lu Bu's attitude towards scholars, if he continues like this, there may be wars that are more terrifying than feudal lords fighting each other. This is what Zhang Zhao is most worried about after seeing these printed books. This has caused a huge change, which is definitely not a good thing for scholars at least!

"Young master, if there is a chance to get this rubbing technique, if it can be introduced to Jiangdong, it will be of great use to my lord." Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and said.

"Easier said than done?" Sun Quan smiled wryly when he heard the words. How could Lu Bu let others get such things so easily?

"My lord, let's try it." Zhang Zhao sighed, he was right to come to Guanzhong this time, otherwise he really would not know that Guanzhong is so prosperous.

"It's just right, I'll wait for a while for Lu Bu to meet me, and I'll go find out." Sun Quan nodded. If his elder brother can get this thing, it will indeed be of great use, and he must find a chance to learn these rubbing techniques!
