After Liu Lan and Xu Chu returned from Gan Qian, they learned that Zhen Jiang had held a family banquet, but when they came to the banquet hall, they found that the room was already full of people, but Liu Lan and Zhen Jiang were not there.

When everyone saw the lord and Xu Chu coming in, but Zhen Jiang was not seen, Guan Yu immediately got up and said, "Lord, where is the lord?" ”

Liu Lan smiled embarrassedly, looked at the sun, and naturally knew that Zhen Jiang must be angry with himself and would not come, so he waved his hand and said, "Jiang Er is unwell, so I will let him rest." After speaking, he said to Liu An, who was waiting in the hall: "Liu An, you go and order some chicken soup to be stewed and sent to Mrs., and tell her that I let her drink it all." He said it in a non-questioning commanding tone.

"No." Liu An answered and wanted to leave, only to hear Liu Lan say again: "By the way, Cui Yan, Zhang Jaw, and Zhou Cang will be called together, and we will have a group banquet today." ”

Seeing him like this, everyone smiled silently, only Zhen Yan and Zhang Fei had a heart, you look at him, he looks at you, you Nunu mouth, he blinks, after a long time, Zhang Fei, who was defeated, was forced to speak, and said, "Lord, there is nothing wrong with the master, right?" ”

Everyone didn't know why Zhang Fei had this question, and they were all surprised? looked at Zhang Fei for some reason, wanting to know more about the inside story.

And Liu Lan's heart sank, these people here have followed him for a long time, and they recognize Zhen Jiang very much, if he knows that he has a quarrel with Zhen Jiang because of Gan Qian, then he and Gan Qian's matter is afraid that there is no hope at all. With some worry in his heart, he said, "What's okay, right?" How could Yide ask that? ”

Zhang Fei saw that the lord was not abnormal, and said with a smile: "It's okay for the lord and the lord to be fine, it's okay to be fine." ”

Liu Lanyue pondered Zhang Fei's words. The more weird he felt, why did he ask me if I had anything to do with Zhen Jiang? Could it be that it was not Zhen Yan who chewed the root of Zhen Jiang's tongue. But Zhang Fei? He asked, "Yide, did you say anything to her?" ”

"Nope. No. Zhang Fei hurriedly explained, "I don't say good things for your husband in front of my mother." ”

When Liu Lan heard him say this, he was already very angry in his heart, he thought it was Zhen Yan chewing the root of his tongue, but Zhen Yan was Zhen Jiang's younger brother after all, and it was understandable to tell her sister some things about herself, but now it was obvious that this black guy was informing, which made him not angry, and he wanted to attack. But I heard Guan Yu on the side say: "Lord, do you guess who my brother saved on the way back?" ”

Liu Lan, who was about to get angry, was attracted by Guan Yu's words, and his anger suddenly turned invisible, looked at him and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Miss of the Mi family in Xuzhou, Mi Zhen."

Everyone in the hall already knew the inside story, and they all looked at Liu Lan, and Liu Lan's eyes widened? The legendary Lady Mi? "What's going on?" he asked. ”

Guan Yu told the inside story in detail, and then snorted coldly: "I didn't expect Cao Yi to do such a hurtful thing. He sighed and said, "Even so." But if Mi Zhen returns to Xiapi or Xuzhou, I am afraid that the Danyang army and the wealthy families of the Xuzhou clan will inevitably completely tear their skins. ”

Guan Yu's conversation with Liu Lan, only a few people present knew the true meaning, and they all thought that the complete rupture of the Xuzhou clan and the Danyang Army had made the lord take charge of Xuzhou for a better time.

And the rest of the people who don't know Liu Lan's true thoughts. I don't understand why Guan Yu wants to make a big fuss about this matter, after all, the weight of the Mi family in Xuzhou behind Mi Zhen is not enough to play a key role in Liu Lan's entry into Xuzhou, and Liu Lan even mentioned it in front of them, and he doesn't mind if he doesn't get Xuzhou.

And so it goes. Those who didn't know the truth, such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and several people looked at Liu Lan together. And Guan Yu, Xu Shu and Zhen Yan, the 'henchmen' who knew Liu Lan's true thoughts, knew that the opportunity for the lord had finally come.

Liu Lan nodded slightly. After glancing at it in front of everyone, he said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I can't show up in Xuzhou now, it seems that I have to work hard for Yun Chang to go again, and I will send Mi Zhen to Xuzhou tomorrow." "Now the top priority is to take this opportunity to persuade the Mi family to let the Mi family form a united front with him, but he didn't say these words in public, because Guan Yu already knew.

Guan Yu nodded heavily, swore an oath, and said, "Don't worry, Yun Chang will definitely send Miss Mi Jia to Xuzhou City safely." The eyes of the two met in the air, and the meaning they wanted to express was clear to both of them in their hearts, and Liu Lan lowered his head slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

Dan Yangjun such as Cao Bao and Zhen Rong have done such stupid things, he knows in his heart that the Mi family must be used for his own use, so the top priority now is to pull the Chen family to his side, so the potter, Cao Bao and his ilk are not worried.

It's just a pity that Mi Zhen, the sister of the Mi family, actually let Cao Bao's son XXOO, which made her scold angrily: "How can such a good flower let Cao Yi's pig arch it......" After all, about the woman's reputation, Guan Yu said vague words, but made him mistakenly think that Mi Zhen had been ruined by Cao Yi.

Jian Yong on the side admonished: "Lord, this is a good opportunity, why not take advantage of it?" After a little sorting out his thoughts, he said: "As long as the lord assists the Xuzhou clan to sweep away the Danyang army, then Tao Qian will have no power to borrow, and he should rely on the lord, so that the lord can take the opportunity to take charge of Xuzhou." In addition, the lord has the righteousness to solve the siege of Xuzhou, and then there is the grace of assisting the Xuzhou clan, so that the people of Xuzhou are grateful to the lord, and the lord is in charge of the army. ”

"No." Liu Lan categorically rejected Jian Yong's proposal, not because he was not impressed, but because he knew that he didn't need to take such a big risk to offend Tao Qian, because through history, Liu Lan had already known that Tao Qian was a matter of the past two years, and as long as he could pull the Mi family and the Chen family to his side, then he would take over Xuzhou smoothly, since he could take over smoothly, why should he make a military disaster happen in Xuzhou? smiled: "It's good to let this matter be." ”

Jian Yong was still persuading, and said: "At this time, the lord is like Yuan Benchu who was stationed in Bohai County, although he has good generals and elite soldiers, but there is only one place in Liaodong, which is not enough to be the foundation for a foothold. ”

Liu Lan's eyes lit up, not because Jian Yong's words moved him, but because the examples he gave were too appropriate, and said with a smile: "I know this matter by myself, you don't have to say anything more." ”

"My lord, the soldiers of Xuzhou take the Danyang army as the most ......"

"Alright, alright, don't talk about it......" Liu Lan interrupted Jian Yongdao.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After flipping through the wine and food with everyone, everyone went to their own business, and Liu Lan took Cui Yan and Chen Qun to visit Guoyuan.

In Liu Lan's mind, since Guoyuan is friendly with Chen Qun and Cui Yan, his appearance is naturally as handsome as the two of them, after all, things gather like each other, but when he really saw the real person, he almost dropped his chin first.

Guoyuan is slightly shorter than Cui Yan and Chen Qun, with a slight beard on his chin, just like a Westerner with a pair of deep eye sockets, his whole person is the same as his appearance, plain, simple to the extreme, there is a patch on one side of the Confucian robe, which makes Liu Lan, who has been in the late Han Dynasty for a long time, secretly speechless, after all, this is the first time I have seen the Confucian robe worn by Confucian students with patches, even if it is Han Confucian, maybe the clothes they usually wear are patched, but the Confucian robe will not have it, at most it is whiter and washed, and it can be patched on the Confucian robe, It was the first time he had encountered it.

Things developed very smoothly, Guo Yuan readily agreed to preside over the matter of Tuntian, how could this not make him overjoyed, but when it came to the specific implementation of the matter, Liu Lan still asked Guo Yuan to draft a charter, which must fully take into account the suffering of the people, and he put forward some of his own suggestions to Guo Yuan: "These lands will be sold to the people at a low price in the future, so it is best for Mintun to recruit those people who have no land." ”

It's just that as soon as he said it, Guo Yuan looked at him with great curiosity, as if Liu Lan had transformed into a pole dancer at this time, which made him immediately blush, and said, "Zini, are you swollen?" Why are you staring at me like that? ”

Guo Yuan looked helpless and said, "Isn't the lord opening Mintun for the purpose of raising military rations?" ”

"It's not."

Guoyuan had a chill, and it seemed that the lord had limited knowledge of Tuntian, so he said: "Lord, in fact, Mintun is the evolution of the military tun, and it can also be said to be the auxiliary of the military tun, and its main purpose is to make the grain and grass used by the army self-sufficient, without having to work the people. ”

"May it be so."

Liu Lan nodded and said: "Actually, I want to build Mintun, but the original purpose is to let more people have land to cultivate, so I will implement Mintun, and after five to ten years, these people who develop the fields will get the land for free." Wouldn't this increase the enthusiasm of their people? Liu Lan said something in his heart.

"But wouldn't it be better for the lord to give the government land directly to these people, so that they would not be more motivated? Moreover, not long after the war ended, the people either fled or died tragically, leaving a lot of ownerless wasteland, so why bother to open Mintun again! ”

"Definitely. It is inevitable that there will be some lazy people among these landless people, and if the land is given to them directly, they will not know how to cherish it, but they will harm them. Liu Lan saw that they were at a loss, and said with a smile: "For example: 'A person works at sunrise and rests at sunset, if we give him a drop of money out of thin air, he will naturally not cherish the copper money he spends for nothing, and he will buy it when he sees this, and he will buy it when he sees that, and within a few days, this money will also be squandered by him, but if he develops the habit of squandering, even if he wants to live frugally, it will be difficult, so wouldn't it hurt him?'" ”

After a pause, he said: "Similarly, if we give a lazy person, he will have the idea of getting by on weekdays, and at this time he suddenly has a hanging of money in his hand, how can he cherish it?"

When he said this, he looked at everyone: "Do you understand what I mean?" (To be continued.) )
