Never thought I would become the emperor

Chapter 75 Homecoming

Lu Bu smiled and walked over. Suddenly, a virtual screen appeared in front of his eyes, and a few large characters lay on the screen panel.

"Currently inspecting the master's environment, whether to upgrade the primary copper foundry? Upgrade conditions: 50 control coins, the effect of which is to increase the production speed by 25% and increase the number of workers by 500."

"Ok?"

Lu Bu made a suspicious voice.

I didn't expect that this elementary copper foundry could be upgraded.

Lu Bu was a little surprised. When the time came, he looked at it carefully, and his eyes were filled with brilliance.

Lu Bu thought to himself: "It seems not bad to spend 50 control coins to upgrade."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Bu finally said: "Upgrade!"

"Ding Dong has been successfully upgraded! The primary copper foundry has been successfully upgraded to an intermediate copper foundry. The production speed has increased by 25%, and the number of workers has increased by 500."

Several big red characters appeared on the virtual screen in front of me, followed by a string of words.

"The upgrade was successful! Will the master continue to upgrade? Upgrade conditions: 100 control coins, increase the production speed by 50%, and increase the number of workers by 1000."

Seeing the effect of this upgrade, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded almost without hesitation: "Upgrade."

"Ding dong. The upgrade was successful. The mid-level copper foundry was successfully upgraded to a high-level copper foundry. The production speed increased by 50%, and the number of workers increased by 1000."

Looking at this luxurious data panel, Lu Bu's face blossomed into a smile.

"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, it's not good, it's not good."

A worker with a scarf on his head stumbled in and said out of breath.

"What happened, why all the fuss?"

Gao Shun, who stood at the front, got up and said.

Seeing Gao Shun in armor, the worker was terrified, and hurriedly bowed his hands: "I have seen the general."

Gao Shun nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, you can continue."

At this time Lu Bu and Fugui also came up together.Looking at him curiously.

After swallowing his saliva, the worker said out of breath: "Thousands of people suddenly came to the gate of the factory, shouting that they want to come here to find a job. If the soldiers of the generals were not outside, I am afraid they would have broken in gone."

Gao Shun's eyes widened, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to fight, and said in a deep voice, "What? There are still people who dare to make trouble in broad daylight!"

"Don't worry, get to know the situation first."

Lu Bu stopped the angry Gao Shun, and said calmly, because Lu Bu knew that these thousands of people were brought here because he upgraded the factory. If Gao Shun thought they came here deliberately to cause trouble, all the rioters would be locked up in the prison. That's not good.

Fu Gui stroked Chang Chang's beard and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

The others did not dare to speak, just waiting quietly.

Suddenly, Fugui's eyes widened suddenly, and his dark yellow eyes suddenly became energetic. He patted his head and said excitedly: "Why did the old man forget this? When the old man was young, he repaired it in the back mountain. Although the two factories have passed for so long, they are not completely abandoned. They can still be used as long as they are repaired. Didn’t the group of people outside say that they want to work, so I just sent them there, and I will save you, generals. I'm worried."

The worker's face turned pale and he said in horror: "Huh? Over there in the back mountain, I heard others say that there are often big insects on the mountain roads there. Is it dangerous?"

Fugui glared at him angrily, and said angrily: "Old man, I have lived for so long, and I have never seen a big worm in the back mountain. Don't talk nonsense."

The worker lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "But I clearly remember the footprints of a big worm in the back mountain, and it is said that the big worm is seven or eight feet long, and its two feet are as big as wooden barrels. It eats human flesh without blinking an eye."

Fugui pushed him out of the room angrily, and said impatiently while pushing him: "Don't talk nonsense, the war is in chaos, maybe the big insect has died long ago."

"But."

"Nothing but."

The worker wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled out by Fu Gui.

"My lord, is there really a big bug in the back mountain?"

Gao Shun turned his head to look at Lu Bu and asked, although he was not responsible for the security work around Luoyang, Gao Shun always cared about the lives of the people, and if there was any danger, he was always obliged to rush to the forefront .

Lu Bu shook his head, and said with some uncertainty, "It should be fine."

Gao Shun sighed and said: "Forget it, I will take people to the back mountain to see it another day, so that I can relax more."

Lu Bu patted Gao Shun's heavy shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Gao Shun also showed his big white teeth and smiled.

What followed was the most enjoyable time for Lu Bu and Gao Shun. Watching the accompanying soldiers remove boxes of five baht coins from the entire factory, not to mention how happy they were laughing.

Fugui and the rest of the workers also stood at the door and watched with a faint smile on their faces.

The reason why Fugui is so happy is because Lu Bu promised him that he will have enough ore raw materials in the future. Whenever he thinks of this, Fugui is always happy for a long time.

Just as Fugui thought, before leaving, Lu Bu spent 100 ruling coins to build two high-end mines on the mountain, so that the raw materials of the copper foundry can be delivered in a steady stream in the future, and it can also bring Lu Bu a long time. Here comes the profit.

On the way back, Lu Bu and Gao Shun chatted a lot. Gao Shun mentioned the most about the people's livelihood and the life of the soldiers. Suddenly, Lu Bu even felt that Gao Shun only loved two things in his life.

One is the people under his rule, and the other is the soldiers under his command.

All of them seemed to be treasures that he could not let go of, and his love was so deep that Lu Bu still vaguely remembered Gao Shun holding a big bucket of five baht coins, and a man in his 30s smiling so brightly.

However, when he saw so much money, the first thing he thought of was not himself, but how to use this money to restore the entire administrative structure of Luoyang City as soon as possible, so that the entire Luoyang City could slowly recover.The other is to send the money to the soldiers who have withheld military pay for several months and give them a belated explanation.

Lu Bu had no objection to this matter. After all, he didn't take money that seriously. In his eyes, it was just scrap metal.

What is the most important thing in troubled times?

If Lu Bu were to answer, he would say without hesitation that it must be Minhebing.

However, due to the many things going on recently, Lu Bu couldn't spare any time to care about people's livelihood, let alone train soldiers.

However, when Lu Bu took control of the entire Sizhou, the heavy taxes and labor during Dong Zhuo's period had been abolished, but Lu Bu has not yet received the response to the decree.

As for whether his policy has spread to Luoyang City, he is not sure.
