The 156th Initial Meeting
Of course, Lu Ren gave Xun Yu a look at the previous expressions, and then Xun Yu handed them over to Cao Cao. But at this time, Lu Ren played a little trick, and rolled a small piece of silk in the bamboo slip to Cao Cao:
"As mentioned above, since the people know the public law and the faithfulness, and think that they can get more grain by cultivating the official land, they will abandon the wealthy family and go to the land given by the official after a long time. It seems that the number of wealthy families and Ding will inevitably decrease day by day, and the number of people will gradually decline, and the decline will not be able to rely on the strong to resist the order, so it can also be a way to slow down the control of the strong. ”
At this point in time, no one may know better than Lu Ren how much Cao Cao's heart is worried about those scholar clans and whatever. deliberately added such a paragraph in secret, which is nothing more than to explain to Cao Cao that he is actually just using the Xun clan to express a clear line between himself and the scholar clan, and try not to let Cao Cao, who is already suspicious by nature, have any suspicion about himself.
As for whether Cao Cao, who is still outside to clean up Yang Fengyu's party, will understand Lu Ren's meaning, this matter is still unknown for the time being, but Xun Yu was very appreciative after reading Lu Ren's expression, and as far as Xun Yu's point of view at that time, Lu Ren's idea was a little too bold. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that as long as it is well controlled, there may really be the situation of "all three parties happy" that Lu Ren predicted. Therefore, he raised his hands in favor of Lu Ren doing this.
Cao Cao's reply also agreed with Lu Ren's approach. In fact, smart people understand a truth, that is, a community maintained by interests is a more stable community, and if Cao Cao wants to get the support of the scholars, he is bound to give up the corresponding benefits to those who are worthy of the alliance. And Lu Ren's proposal is a good distribution of the interests of the three parties, which is very much in line with Cao Cao's wishes, so of course Cao Cao will agree and support it.

Lu Ren is now thinking about some troubles that may be encountered in handling affairs, as well as the methods and details of dealing with these troubles, and people are moving forward a little absently. Suddenly, the attendant grabbed Lu Ren's horse, and then pointed to the front: "Lingjun, there is someone in front." Lu Ren is now the No.1 Xu Duling in the post of county commander, and he is fully worthy of the title of "Lingjun".
Lu Ren looked up and saw a person sitting at the three-way crossing about a few dozen meters away from him, who seemed to be resting, but looking at his clothes and demeanor, he didn't look like an ordinary pedestrian, but as if he was deliberately waiting for him. After a little silence, Lu Ren turned over and dismounted, and at the same time, he didn't even bring his entourage, and walked towards the man alone. When he got closer, Lu Ren respectfully saluted and said, "This gentleman is invited, please don't be surprised, I am an official, not a thief." Dare to ask Mr., which road should I take to go to Yingchuan Xun's Village and Yingchuan Academy? ”
The man was wearing a hat on his head, and after hearing Lu Ren's shout, he looked at Lu Ren calmly, a few smiles appeared on the corner of his mouth, he took off the hat he was wearing and threw it aside, and asked Lu Ren in return: "Your Excellency is the new Xu Duling Lu Ren Lu Yihao?" ”
Lu Ren paused a little when he heard the other party call out his name and official position, and then carefully hung up the person who called out his name. This person looks to be about forty years old, dressed in a bamboo crown, and his appearance is a little ordinary, but there is a strong scholarly flavor between his eyebrows. If you only look at this person's demeanor, you will feel a little wooden, but if you look closely at those eyes, you will find that the gaze is as deep as an abyss, and from time to time there will be a few flashes of essence.
After a while, Lu Ren felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was definitely not a simple character, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It's Lu Ren down there." Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name? ”
This person replied: "In Xia Xunyu, the words are public." ”
"Xun Yu Xun Gongda!?"
Lu Ren's eyes immediately widened. How famous Xun You is in the history books, let's not talk about him now. Based on what Lu Ren has seen and heard in the past few years, Xun You belongs to the kind of "well-known" big role in the country, and he can often hear Xun You's name in the mouth of the chatter in the wine shop. Lu Ren originally thought that this kind of character would be seen only after arriving at Xun's Village and passing the report, but he never expected to meet Xun You on such an occasion.
I wasn't sure for a while, so Lu Ren had no choice but to ask tentatively: "But in the past, the Huangmen squire was later moved to the city minister, and then he was transferred to the Taishou of Shu County, and Sima Xun Wenruo under the account of Cao Gong...... The nephew of Xun Yu Xun Gongda? Although it shows that he knows that Xun Yu, who is a nephew, is six years older than Xun Yu, who is an uncle, but when he really encounters this kind of thing, Lu Ren's tone is still a little uncomfortable.
Xun You said: "Yes, it is below." ”
Lu Ren hurriedly saluted again: "I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder!" But I don't know why Gongda Gong is here? ”
Xun You said with a smile: "It's just a false name, why worry about it?" A few days ago, I received my uncle's handwritten letter, and said that Lu Lingjun would come to visit the village, and I was afraid that the people of the clan were rude and rude, so I came to the mouth to greet each other. ”
Lu Renxin said that you are so famous, how old can I be compared to the mouth of the world, where can I use you to wait for me here? Besides, isn't Xun Yu's letter in his own place? Why did you write another letter to Xun You? Is this a game of oneself? But I can't take care of these things at the moment, and I still have to be polite: "Lu Ren is just a nameless junior, but Gongda Gong treats me like this, won't he be a bad boy?" ”
Xun You also hung Lu Ren for a while at this time, but he felt that Lu Ren in front of him seemed to be too far from what he imagined, and he didn't look like a person with outstanding talents at all. This is fortunate that Xun Yuyou said in the letter, "Lu Yihao seems to be ordinary, but in fact he has great talents, if you judge people by their appearance, our clan will definitely have a big loss", otherwise Xun Yu would really doubt whether Lu Ren in front of him is an impostor.
After hearing Lu Ren's words, Xun You responded after a moment's thought: "What does Lu Lingjun mean nameless? The Puyang Tian clan relied on its power to bully the township, and the king led the people to ask for it, and after the Tian clan was killed, he returned the land to the people to restore the agricultural mulberry, which was to raise the county to be happy;
"Puyang Shitun, Lingjun tirelessly patrolled the soil and fields, made the best of irrigation, and personally went down to the field to teach the people to plant rice, but a year will make Puyang a realm of rice accumulation, not a good year but better than a good year, the people rely on Junli to live in peace and enough food, so no one does not praise Lu Lingjun's wisdom, courage and benevolence. When you heard that the king was ordered to take the fate of the grain and lead the army to leave the city, the people of Puyang sent each other off the road, hoping that the king would return to Puyang as soon as possible. ”
"Hey......" Lu Renyi recalled the scene when he left Puyang that day, and the people sent more than ten miles of land, it was inevitable that he would feel a little complacent. It's just that as soon as he remembered that this was in front of Xun Yu but he couldn't get proud, he could only grab his scalp in embarrassment and laugh dryly: "It's an exaggeration, it's an exaggeration!" I just did a few things that I thought I should do. ”
Seeing Lu Ren's expression, Xun You couldn't help but put a big question mark in his heart about what Xun Yu wrote in his book. To be honest, Xun Yu asked Xun Yu's Xun clan in the letter to completely obey Lu Ren's arrangement, but when Xun You really saw Lu Ren, Lu Ren's performance really made Xun You unable to put his mind at ease.
Cai Yan didn't know when he followed behind Lu Ren and asked, "Yihao, is this gentleman ......?"
Lu Ren hurriedly took the opportunity to introduce each other to get rid of the embarrassment just now: "Zhao Ji, this is Mr. Xun Gongda Xun." Gong Da Gong, this is Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of the late Cai Zhonglang......"
At this introduction, Cai Yan and Xun You were slightly surprised. Xun You won't talk about it, Cai Yan, as Cai Yong's daughter, how could she not know Xun Yu Xun Gongda? On the other hand, Xun You heard that Cai Yan was temporarily defecting to Lu Ren, and even traveled with Lu Ren, but it seemed that the two were obviously not husband and wife, which was also very surprised.
But now is not the time to ask these personal questions, after the two sides finished their respective politeness, Xun You invited Lu Ren and Cai Yan to sit down at Xun's Village as the host. After taking a few steps, Lu Ren suddenly patted his head lightly and whispered to himself: "I'm such an idiot!" Why do I think so complicated about such a simple thing? ”
Cai Yanqi said: "What did Yihao understand? ”
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a little thing."
Saying that, Lu Ren smiled at Xun You and said, "It's not easy for Xun Gong to wait here for a long time!" ”
A smile is a smile, but there is a hint of meaning in the smile. After all, Xun You is the principal of his clan, and it is impossible to sit at the crossing every day and wait. Therefore, he asked the clansmen to visit from a distance first, and when he found that someone with official clothes was passing by, he hurried back to report it, and then rushed to the crossing to wait.
When he heard Lu Ren say "such a simple thing", Xun You thought that Lu Ren had figured out this verse, but when Lu Ren handed him a meaningful smile, Xun You suddenly realized that Lu Ren should have seen something else from the fact that Xun You was waiting at the crossing himself......
And at this moment, Xun Yu began to believe what Xun Yu said in the letter, and secretly said in his heart: "This Lu Ren really can't be pretending to be a person...... Blunder! It seems that I am too anxious! ”

Yingchuan Academy is located in Yangzhai, the ancient Yingchuan County Governance Office, in modern Yuzhou City, Henan Province. It is the most famous seowon in history, especially during the Three Kingdoms period. Because Yingchuan County is mostly mountainous, Yingchuan Academy is built against the mountains, and the academy is located on the outskirts of the city. It was originally a village of the Yingchuan Xun family, and it was donated as a school after the establishment of the academy.
This famous Yingchuan Academy has no tall walls, no gilded plaques, no brass animal-faced door knockers, low walls painted white, and a wooden door that is obviously old is open.
Enter the gate, walk through the bluestone road, is facing a big house, the house is square, the blue bricks are built, there are carved tiles, the center of the house is a big incense case, the portrait of Confucius hangs behind the incense case, there are a few sticks of incense in the brass incense burner, the cigarette smoke rises slowly, Zhejiang and Zhejiang are scattered, through the side door, it is the place to read, the low table is full of books, the cushions are scattered around, the guqin with exquisite shape is placed aside, gently pluck the strings, the tone is mellow and crisp......
…… It's a pity that the above is purely Lu Ren's imagination, and when he really looks at it, it's just a ruined wall. In the past, Yingchuan Academy, which was full of humble students and could hear the sound of reading loud everywhere, is now deserted and full of depression. This is Xun You sent someone to clean up after returning to Yingchuan with his clansmen before, otherwise the overgrown barren scenery will really make people uncomfortable to watch. Whether ancient or modern, how many would be willing to see a school that teaches and educates become a garbage dump?
Lu Ren's brows furrowed tightly, and the person sighed heavily. Suddenly, there was a soft sound of footsteps behind him, Xun You came to Lu Ren's side and asked softly, "Why did Lu Lingjun sigh?" ”
(I tried to contact the starting point on Friday, but I didn't get any answer, and now I really wonder if the bottle has fallen into a pit...... Alas! Let's hold on for a while. I just don't know if anyone thinks such a book is worth supporting. Can those who support it leave a message in the book review section? It can be regarded as a little encouragement for the bottle, so that the bottle has the motivation to write. Thank you. )
