Chapter 194: Trivia Two Three
"Cai Xiaoshu has been coming over from time to time recently, and my brother seems to have forgotten that there are people from the Zhongshan Zhen clan in our army." Lu Yan complained.
At the beginning of papermaking, the clansmen of the three families in Zhongshan all expressed their desire to invest money, and it is estimated that they had written back at that time. While explaining the papermaking workshop, there is nothing else to say.
It is estimated that Zhen Yi is also worried that Liu Tao will 'empathize and say goodbye', and seeing that he has settled down in Luoyang, he motioned for Zhen Jiang to come over, probably to swear sovereignty.
"I used to say that I was worried that my daughter was too young, so I said that I would get married in three years, but now I am willing to give my daughter out?" Liu Tao had to make a joke.
"That means they've started to back down." Lu Yan analyzed, "It is estimated that they didn't expect that my brother would be able to become a general in the Yulin in such a short period of time. β
The key is actually His Majesty's attitude, he attaches great importance to this 'clan', and Yulin Zhonglang will definitely not be his end.
Originally, as a Sima of another department, the tribe of 5,000 people, and at the same time a year's food, and a marriage to maintain the relationship between the two families, was actually enough. But now, Zhen's weak foundation has gradually become prominent.
They currently have some prestige in Zhongshan County, as well as plenty of land, as well as commercial achievements. Among the clansmen, there are almost no who can stand out.
On Liu Tao's side, he is a general in Yulin, three righteous brothers, and Jian Yong, who was the first to follow him, and they all have official status. This official body, after two years of activities, even pay a fee, to the local government as a county magistrate is also possible.
Several members of the Zhen clan are also working hard to be able to truly obtain official status. The marriage between Liu Tao and Zhen is the key, but the problem is that Cai Yan, who is suspected of being a 'woman who has a good relationship with Liu Tao', suddenly appeared recently, which made them feel in crisis.
After receiving the letters from these clansmen, Zhen Yi, who had become a little in bad health, had to discuss the matter with his wife, and the final result was to send Zhen Jiang over.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ The question is that we are in the army, how to arrange her? Liu Tao felt a little headache, and his twelve-year-old fiancΓ©e wanted to come over or something.
"It seems that the Zhen family came forward and rented a house here in Luoyang to live." Lu Yan thought for a moment.
"Rent?" Liu Tao still cares a lot about this word.
"After all, there is no need to buy a house, we all know that my brother's goal is not to stay in Luoyang at all. Buying a house is a waste of money, and it won't last long. Lu Yan replied.
If you really want to count, Zhu Jun is actually renting a house in Luoyang. Many large houses like this are rented out, and the owner spent a lot of money to buy them back then, and they don't resell them, they just rent them out.
It is precisely because of this that from time to time, officials will rent in and contact as proprietors, maybe a network.
"If you rent it, it's really not a big problem. It's just that she came to live here alone, what about safety? Liu Tao is still a little worried, and he has to care about it.
"Naturally, the family will be arranged to come over to escort them, and the elder brother can also go over to live together, after all, it is good to come back before midnight every day. It seems to be a rented mansion around the Imperial Palace. Lu Yan thought for a moment.
If you have a house, life will be more comfortable. Although the station is not bad, there are actually many things that are not very convenient, such as bathing and going to the toilet.
The key is that there will be more personal space, and sometimes this thing that is easy to ignore in normal times will be obvious when it is in the military.
Just say that in the morning, or when, Guan Yu and others visited. Usually it's nothing, but Zhang Fei sometimes shouts directly, opens the curtain and comes in, making him feel the importance of private space.
"Let's talk about it...... When the time comes, see where the house is, if there are other houses next door or nearby, you can consider renting it, so that everyone can live in it except for the people who are on duty. Liu Tao thought for a moment.
"Every inch of land in Luoyang is expensive, the rent is not cheap, and it is not worth wasting like this." Lu Yan shook his head. Seriously, his father rented a house in Luoyang, and this kind of thing was also mentioned in the letter.
Unless it was rewarded by the emperor, it would be impossible for Lu Zhi to buy a house here with that little money. Let's just say that now that he has gone to Jizhou, the house in Luoyang can't just be vacant, right?
"How many can there be...... Speaking of which, Cai Yan's house, could it be that he bought it? Liu Tao suddenly realized a problem.
It is said to be the house of the former guard captain Cai Zhen, after Cai Zhen died in prison, because he had no heirs, this house belonged to Cai Yong. Cai Dacai's daughter returned from her husband's house, and thanks to this house, she had a place to stay. Lu Yan replied.
"Let's just say, Cai Yong's official position is not so big, how can he buy a house in Luoyang." Liu Tao smiled, "Speaking of which, is there a letter from my father?" β
"Uncle Liu has already replied, and it seems that he is also planning to come to Luoyang in the near future to see what that Zhuangzi means." Lu Yan nodded, "There is another thing, that is, the elder brother Tuo Zhongshan Zhen, Yan Liang and Wen Chou of Anping Country, who are looking for him, already have eyebrows. β
"Oh, what's going on with the two of you?" Liu Tao immediately became interested.
"Yan Liang's family is also well-known in the local area. However, Yan Liang himself does not like literature, and he likes to dance with knives and guns since he was a child. Now in his twenties, two years ago, he traveled with Wen Chou, who was a ranger, and he would come once in a while. Lu Yan explained.
At that time, the people of the Zhen family found Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Liu Tao had just been awarded the title of Yulin Zhonglang General in Luoyang, and he didn't know it there, so he said that he was a relative of the Han family, and Sima Liu Tao of the other department planned to recruit the two.
Wen Chou is just a ranger, so there is no family to look for, and Yan seems to be a little unimpressed. It is estimated that in their opinion, Sima of the District Division is actually embarrassed to recruit their clansmen.
Not to mention the general and the three dukes, it has to be a local Taishou or a stabbing history, right? In the end, he didn't refuse, but he didn't promise that he would send the two to Luoyang.
One is not guaranteed when the two will come back, and the other is whether they will accept it depends on the opinions of the two.
Speaking of this, Lu Yan finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what's so special about these two people?" β
After all, my brother's concern for these two people is no less than that of Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan.
"Two fierce generals, thinking about whether they can be included in the middle of the world before they make a career." Liu Tao didn't hide it, "Just like Zhao Yun, a good talent, now that he knows it, he doesn't plan to miss it." β
"I see...... Lu Yan nodded, some things seemed to understand, no wonder Liu Tao kept in contact with Zhang Fei before dawn, and then when they met, they expressed their closeness to Guan Yu, and even took him with him.
So, could it be that I'm also a talent? Lu Yan suddenly felt a little excited in his heart......
