Chapter 193 Li Ru’s irritability
?Li Ru has been feeling an inexplicable irritability during this period, lingering in his heart.
?At present, everything seems to be moving at its own pace, but I still feel that there are still some problems that make me uneasy.
??Compared with when he first came to Luoyang, Li Ru has lost much weight now. After all, not only the entire government affairs, but also the food, drink and diarrhea of ??the Xiliang army also need Li Ru to worry more.
??There are already many things about the Dongdong gentry, and now the addition of Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying has made Li Ru a little uncertain...
?Li Ru has never encountered this kind of situation before, and he doesn’t know whether Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying’s current situation is good or bad.
Originally, Li Ru was worried that Dong Zhuo would fall into a trap of gentleness and be unable to get out of it. However, based on Li Ru''s observation, Dong Zhuo did not have much emotion towards the beauties around him. At most, he regarded these beauties around him as personal belongings. …
In this way, Li Ru basically felt a little relieved. After all, as long as he did not have feelings for the beauty around him, no matter how interesting the items were, there would be a day when he would get tired of them.
And now Dong Zhuo seems to have become—
?Exceptionally keen? Extraordinary decisiveness?
Li Ruzhen doesn''t know how to describe Dong Zhuo''s current situation. If he had to put it simply, he seems to have an instinct to get to the essence of some extremely troublesome things?
Dong Zhuo''s current decisiveness sometimes surprises Li Ru, and his thinking seems to be very sharp. Sometimes, even without Li Ru having to explain anything, Dong Zhuo himself already understands and can make correct decisions. Incomparable decisions, such as moving the capital this time, were actually Dong Zhuo''s final decision.
Moving the capital was originally just an idea of ??Li Ru''s, but moving the capital was difficult after all. Li Ru had prepared a long list of reasons and explanations for Dong Zhuo''s various problems when he made the plan, but he didn''t. Thinking that Dong Zhuo only thought for a moment without asking a single question, he agreed directly...
This can''t help but remind Li Ru of the time when Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying were just a minor official in Xiliang. They only commanded a few hundred people under Yu Linlang. At that time, he was also like this, with such strong courage. This is really It made Li Ru feel as if he had met the ambitious Dong Zhuo again.
?However, what troubled Li Ru was that Dong Zhuo''s temper became increasingly violent. Sometimes breaking things was considered a minor offense. Several of Dong Zhuo''s attendants were executed for various reasons...
?Maybe it’s because there are so many things going on these days and the pressure is too much.
Nowadays, Li Ru himself occasionally feels a little exhausted. After all, the current situation does not seem to be very optimistic. As a leader, he is just silently bearing the pressure and getting angry, and does not Giving Li Ru more interference and complaints has made Li Ru feel that Dong Zhuo has full trust in him.
?Just like the current situation, it seems that there is something wrong with some rural tycoons near Luoyang City taking advantage of the limelight, so they all began to search for food everywhere, and began to be reluctant to sell their own stored food.
After all, Luoyang City now not only has to feed the people in the city, but also squeezes out grain and grass to supply Dong Zhuo''s soldiers from Xiliang and Bingzhou. These people eat horse chews, and the consumption in a few months is also very alarming.
Now there is not much food left in the public warehouses in Luoyang City, and most of the food among the people is stored in the fortresses of some powerful and even aristocratic families near Luoyang.
These rural tycoons near Luoyang City, large and small, are raising prices when spring plowing is about to begin. They hold back their grain and are reluctant to sell it, raising the current grain prices very high. On the one hand, it is certainly an old routine for these rural tycoons to make money every year, but more The thing is that these people have begun to be less optimistic about Dong Zhuo... ? ? ? Li Ru wanted to arrest a few young people at that time to scare the monkeys, but he still felt that this could not completely solve the problem, so he simply sent out wingers and sent people to the north. Touching gold in Mangshan.
Beimang Mountain has always been called a treasure land of Feng Shui, and the mountains in this area have good soil and are not too far from Luoyang City. Many places are surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is indeed a good place, so it has long been It is an excellent choice for wealthy people to choose a ghost house after their death.
The Han Dynasty still attached great importance to the afterlife, and it was customary to build a decent-sized tomb even when selling land. Therefore, the gold content underground was actually quite good.
In fact, the most important thing about this move is not how much can be dug out, but to send a strong signal to the big and small powerful people near Luoyang...
After all, many wealthy and powerful people in rural Luoyang now choose Beimang Mountain as their shady residence. Since these guys are making living people hungry, then there is no need to consider the peace behind them! Since the price of food is going to be raised, then use the money of the dead to buy food for the living!
The effect is very obvious. In the past two days, there have been a lot of people asking for help. Li Ru just took the unclaimed land to get rid of the problem...
It is the easiest excuse for He Jin and the Yuan family to mess up Luoyang City these few times. It is the easiest excuse to let some documents go into flames at the right time. Even if these people can still take out the originals in their hands, they will be choked by just checking that there are no stubs. They were speechless for a long time.
Those who are smarter will recognize the situation earlier, and Li Ru will raise his hand more or less. As for those hard-liners who resist desperately, there will always be a day of reckoning.
The biggest worry facing Li Ru now is that he is afraid of being held back by the Kwantung Allied Forces when he moves the capital. Once he is held back, he will be forced to fight with the Kwantung Allied Forces in Luoyang, which is not a good place. Fight locally.
This is something Li Ru is unwilling to accept.
??But at present, it seems that it is still within its control. The envoys sent to delay the progress of the Kwantung Allied Forces have arrived in Suanzao. The next step is to go separately to find Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu...
As long as the entire capital relocation can be completed before March, the Kwantung Allied Forces will be left with an empty Luoyang city!
At that time, from Hulao Pass to Tongguan, what will be left to the Kwantung Allied Forces will be a bare wilderness with no human habitation and no food and grass. All the food and clothing of the Kwantung Allied Forces will have to be transported long distances...
At that time, the Kwantung Allied Forces, which seems huge now, will become a big joke...
Even though many innocent people may die by doing this, Li Ru is helpless. This may be the reason why he is somewhat inexplicably irritable these days. After all, his decision will directly determine the life and death of tens of millions of people.
But this is indeed the fastest way. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Instead of letting these people in Kanto live in one place on the left and one on the right in the future, one in the east and one in the west, it is better to smash the foundation of the entire Kanto at once. !
Li Ru’s eyes were dark. Now that the chess piece has fallen, it now depends on the opponent’s response...
This is also a reason why it is called Li Rudu.
The time to move the capital is February... February of the ancient lunar calendar is usually the season for spring plowing. It is said that on February 2, the dragon raises its head, the earth revives, and the vegetation sprouts. Farmers are about to plow and sow seeds... At this time, the capital was moved and all the population moved to What was left in Chang''an was not only the farmland that had been abandoned for a year, but even the large areas of Luoyang that were deserted for more than ten years... It was not until Cao Cao later established four Dian Nong Zhonglang generals in the small area of ????Heluosi Prefecture. Two Diannong captains, three Diannong captains...
