Chapter 134 Miscellaneous

Guo Yi became Lu Ren's disciple, although there was a slight surprise, but it was reasonable.

The so-called accident mainly refers to the fact that Lu Ren didn't expect Guo Jia to send Guo Yi to Jingzhou. Maybe others don't know, but Lu Ren doesn't know how firm Guo Jia is on Cao Cao's southward trip to Jingzhou? However, Guo Jia's letter also made it clear, that is, "Hurry up and go to Yizhou when you kid is about the same, don't let Lao Tzu's son follow you in the war", so Lu Ren knew that Guo Jia was using this way to remind himself that Jingzhou should not stay for a long time.

As for the reasonableness, it was when Lu Ren was still an official in Xuchang, Guo Jia said when he was drinking that he didn't want Guo Yi to follow him to learn the art of war, and he wanted Guo Yi to follow Lu Ren to learn those skills of governing the people. In Guo Jia's own words, learning the art of war can certainly achieve great achievements, but at the same time, it will also bring a great crisis to himself.

In troubled times, the art of war is needed, but once the situation is stable, then ...... How did Han Shin die? Isn't it because of Liu Bang's fear of Han Xin? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the sentence "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks", Guo Jia doesn't want a poor scholar like himself, but two generations are in Cao Cao's inner circle, which is a little too dangerous.

But then again, Guo Yi really doesn't have much talent in the art of war and strategy, and he can't compare with him at all, so it is indeed more appropriate to follow Lu Ren to learn some practical and down-to-earth farming skills. Lu Ren didn't care much about this, anyway, a disciple with military talent, wouldn't there be a Deng Ai? And talent is such a thing, it's really hard to explain clearly.

Lu Ren didn't care about the affairs of these two founding disciples, just let them study and debate together in the small village, and Lu Ren himself still had several things on hand.

The first is Xu Shu. After several considerations, Xu Shu finally decided to assist Liu Bei for a period of time according to Lu Ren's request. In addition to letting Liu Bei fight the battle more beautifully in the future. Xu Shu still has two things to do with Liu Bei. However, these two things can also be regarded as one thing, and to put it bluntly, they are all related to Zhuge Liang.

Lu Ren asked Xu Shu to recommend Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei at the right time, and Zhuge Liang and Lu Ren had already had contact, and at the same time said that they wanted to go to Yizhou to have a look, so Zhuge Liang came to Lu Ren to ask if he could go with the ship when Mi Zhen's fleet arrived in Jingzhou this time, so naturally he met Xu Shu. Originally, Zhuge Liang was able to meet Xu Shu last time he came, but Xu Shu had some things to do at that time, and he was not by Lu Ren's side, so the two of them failed to meet last time.

And this time, Xu Shu was ready to assist Liu Bei according to Lu Ren's request. Considering some messy problems, Xu Shu used his own name, which means that he has nothing to do with Lu Ren on the surface. When he mentioned to Zhuge Liang that he was going to go to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang also hoped that Xu Shu could carefully observe what kind of person Liu Bei was at close range on his behalf. Don't they all say that good ministers choose the Lord to serve? People like Zhuge Liang certainly know how to choose a boss for themselves.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's body is hung on Lu Ren's and Zhuge Liang's own two things. It will take a while for this to go to Liu Bei after Xu Shu goes there, so let's put it aside for the time being, anyway, Xu Shu will go to Liu Bei.

Then there is Zhang Zhongjing. However, Zhang Zhongjing doesn't have so many twists and turns here, because Zhang Zhongjing was already interested in going to Yizhou. It's just that there is still some hesitation. Then Lu Ren secretly made a mistake, making Zhang Zhongjing a little annoyed by the harassment of those nobles, and the desire to go to Yizhou was stronger. and then Mi Zhen's fleet came over this time, bringing the news that there was an outbreak in Yizhou...... Fake, of course. This is just one of the sets set up by Lu Ren at the beginning, but because of this step, Zhang Zhongjing asked Lu Ren to help him pack up his things there and left, and he will obediently sit in the cabin to Yizhou later.

Next is Huang Zhong Huang and Old Man Huang. But things didn't happen so quickly with Mr. Huang. After all, Lu Ren didn't dare to go too far, otherwise it would be too late to cry if there was any counterproduct. Besides, Zhang Zhongjing hasn't arrived in Yizhou yet, so it's really hard to open this mouth now.

There are also Zhao Yu and Xu Shu's mother. There's not much to say about that. Zhao Yu returned to Yizhou to prepare to follow Lu Ren's plan, land from Xuzhou later and then transfer to Yecheng to see Zhang Xiu, and Xu Shu's mother was promised by Lu Ren that Xu Shu would take good care of her. As for Xu's mother, Lu Ren didn't dare to be half snubbed, after all, he was still counting on her old man to get Xu Shu to Yizhou in the future. However, Xu's mother went to Yizhou not all to be idlers who ate white rice, because Xu's mother had stayed in the children's house for several years and had rich experience in things like orphanages, and the small town of Yizhou now also needs to set up such a house.

Another Xu Mu brought Xu Kang when she came, Xu Kang's ability is not to say how strong, but he is always a person who has been an official and has been in charge of affairs, and has the corresponding work experience, and Lu Ren happens to lack this kind of experienced person on hand now.

In short, the mess is settled, and Lu Ren can breathe a sigh of relief. But before Lu Ren could sleep or something, Shirley sent a communication, saying that she hoped that Lu Ren could go back to Yizhou. The reason is also very simple, that is, Lu Ren, as the leader of a small city in Yizhou, is really not suitable for not always sitting in Yizhou. Moreover, over the course of a year, the population of the small town of Yizhou has increased too fast, and if Lu Ren doesn't go back to the town, he may make some mess.

Shirley was right. Strictly speaking, when Lu Ren left Yizhou in June of the ninth year of Jian'an, the basic population of Yizhou town in the real sense was only about 30,000, and these 30,000 people had no problem with Lu Ren's attitude. But then during the time when Lu Ren was not in Yizhou, Tian Chou sent more than 20,000 and 30,000 to Xu Wushanwu Fort alone, and then Gan Ning got some in Nanyue and Luzon, Tian Chou collected some in Youbeiping, and then went to the Ganning fleet to grab the ...... In short, by the end of the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an, the population of Yizhou is close to 100,000!

Lakh! That's the population of a medium-sized county at the time. What's worse is that seventy percent of these 100,000 people are foreigners who suddenly came to Yizhou in a year, and it is certain that there are many people who are mixed, who dares to guarantee that there will be no troublemakers among these 70,000 people? And if Lu Ren wasn't in Yizhou, it didn't seem that there were really any famous people in the small city of Yizhou...... Old Man Zheng is famous, but that's just for the scholar class, if you encounter those hungry and homeless, it's better to save it. Besides, Lu Ren really didn't dare to let Old Man Zheng do such a thing at such an age.

In desperation, Lu Ren had no choice but to give Zhang Fang some details of the things that should be explained, and then packed up his things and prepared to go back to Yizhou. And in this way, Lu Ren has become a person who wants to go with Zhuge Liang and his wife and Zhang Zhongjing......

――――――――――――――――――――

At the end of February of the tenth year of Jian'an, Xiangyang Water Transport Wharf.

The shipwrights are busy carrying goods onto the ship, but Lu Ren is using a chip in the ship to make work arrangements to Shirley:

“…… Lu Cheng's kid couldn't sit still, otherwise he wouldn't have said all day long that he would go to sea to find an island to explore. He has such a personality, and I don't have anything to say, just let him go, and it just so happens that I plan to send someone to take down the Naha Islands. On the other hand, what I'm worried about now is the miscellaneous things in Yizhou. Shirley, you said that you are going to send people to Zhuya people to develop, I haven't tested it yet, because our Yizhou has suddenly surged so much population, and the first thing to do is to reclaim enough farmland for us to support our lives, and at the same time establish all the corresponding structures, otherwise we will only be unable to do anything if something really happens. ”

Shirley said: "Master, don't worry, before you come back, I will try my best to stabilize the situation." In addition, the scale of the current town is obviously not enough, so it is necessary to consider the matter of expansion. According to preliminary estimates, in addition to farming and construction, self-defense and the construction of docks and docks should also be considered, and manpower is actually very tight. ”

Lu Rendao: "Not only that, but you also have to separate all kinds of craftsmen, especially ironware, carpentry, and masonry, and we must make good use of them and treat them well when we build." In the future, these people will also be inseparable. Well...... The matter on the other side of the Pearl Cliff, after I go back, I will discuss it with the Zhen clan, if I can, I will open a few shallow small iron mines to use first, otherwise it will be a very troublesome matter if the metal resources cannot keep up. As for the forest resources in Yizhou, there are a lot of them, so I don't worry too much about this. Also, I don't think there is a problem with the current number of ships, so the dockyard can be slowed down for a while, but the dock must be expanded as quickly as possible. After all, there are 70,000 more people at once, and if the land is not enough for farming, it will be necessary to rely on fishing and shrimp in the sea to feed everyone. ”

Shirley nodded in response, and Lu Ren sent another text file he had prepared here to Shirley: "Here are some things to do in Yizhou, Shirley, if you can't remember what to do for a while, please take a look, it should help you." ”

Shirley suddenly said, "Master, I have a little proposal." ”

Lu Ren motioned to Shirley to talk about it, and Shirley said, "Can you get some people from the Lu family of Wu County to come to Yizhou?" As far as I know, there are many people in the Lu clan of Wu County who do not have their own land or their own property, and they usually help to support their families in the docks and docks, and in short, they are ordinary porters and other coolies. ”

Lu Ren thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It's best not to touch them, after all, it will easily cause the Lu clan of Wu County to be disgusted with me, and once it attracts the attention of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, it may be bad." Not to mention that if I really do that, it may destroy the relationship between me and the Lu clan of Wujun, not to mention that if I am not wrong, Zhou Yu is still helping Sun Quan with my idea. Besides, the Lu clan of Wu County is our agent in the Jiangdong region, and it is not good for us to touch their interests too much, and it is not good ......for us." )
