Lu Ren's big fool of Liu Bei that night, did Liu Bei listen to it? Lu Ren himself didn't know, but seeing that Liu Bei cared about Lu Ren when he was leaving, it should be very promising.

The next day, Lu Ren, who was waiting for news in the post house, was invited to his home by Mi Zhu. And there is no need to be polite between the two, after Mi Zhu drove all the subordinates out, he said to Lu Ren: "What did you say to the lord that day?" ”

Lu Ren couldn't see anything on Mi Zhu's face, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he could only respond with a dry smile: "I said a lot, and in the end, I drank all the tea you put there." ”

"......" Mi Zhu was also surprised by Lu Ren's often indecent appearance, and shook his head without knowing the so-called and said, "How many people and carriages have you brought here?" ”

Lu Ren knew that there was a drama as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly responded: "Five hundred people, one hundred cars." ”

Mi Zhu is also a veteran of accounting accounts, and when he heard this number, he said without thinking: "A cart can buy ten hundreds, and a hundred carts are only a thousand, I really don't know what this grain and rice is enough for you." ”

Lu Renxin said that you Mi Zhu is really wealthy, and a thousand tons of grain said "so little"? By the way, Hu is a unit of volume, not a unit of weight, and one Hu in the Han Dynasty is about equivalent to 20,000 milliliters in modern times and a little more, that is, about 20 liters. In modern society, most of the bagged rice sold in supermarkets is ten kilograms, and the volume is about seven to eight liters, which means that the approximate weight of a Han Hu grain and rice is about 30 kilograms. And the trucks of the Han Dynasty are not good or bad, and it is already the limit that they can carry 30 bags of 300 kilograms.

looked at Mi Zhu and waved his hand: "That's it, I don't bother to ask what you said to the lord, anyway, the lord is in front of the ministers in Xuzhou today, let me sell you some grain." Go back and call your men, and come with me to the granary to get food. ”

The big stone in Lu Ren's heart finally fell to the ground completely, and then smiled at Mi Zhu and said, "Then I'll go and call someone, and by the way, I'll give you the money I brought." ”

Mi Zhu glared at Lu Ren fiercely and scolded: "You keep it for yourself, I don't miss your money." Seeing that you are so pitiful, I will give you another thousand hundred. I will lend you the necessary people, carts, horses, and horses. "By the way, Lu Su's family once had 6,000 pieces of grain in store, and Zhou Yu sent 3,000 pieces to Zhou Yu when he borrowed grain. And Mi Zhu is obviously much richer than Lu Su, and two thousand pieces of grain is really not a matter for Mi Zhu.

————————————————————

How much is the grain of 2,000 Hu? It's about sixty tons. It sounds like a lot, but in modern times, it's a matter of two or three cars at most. Even in the Han Dynasty, it was not a very large number, and the urns dug by Cao Cao when he began to dig in Tuntian after the emperor arrived in Xuchang could be put fifty tons.

But no matter what, when Lu Ren led five hundred followers and returned to Juancheng with these sixty tons of grain, it really shocked the entire Juancheng people. What does 60 tons of grain mean in that era, in that situation?

Xun Yu got the news early, so he had already sent a small force to respond. Now Gunzhou is full of hungry people, and it is easy for such a batch of grain to have an accident if you don't pay attention to it. And when Xun Yu came to the city gate to pick up Lu Ren, he could see a large number of hungry people hanging almost inch by inch behind the grain team from a distance.

When he met Lu Ren, Xun Yu pointed to the hungry people who were following the grain team and asked, "Didn't you cause an accident?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Two thousand pieces of grain, some of them have been scattered on the way, but not much." When they saw that they could eat, they didn't want to make any trouble. Xun Gong, I handed over this batch of grain to you, and you are better than me in things like opening a porridge factory for relief. ”

Xun Yu shook his head: "You have to go to this matter yourself, because you bought this grain at your own expense, not the food of the official family." But Yihao, just this bit of food, I'm afraid it won't be able to last for a few days, right? ”

Lu Ren smiled tiredly: "It's okay, I just do my best, at least I can have a clear conscience, and I can sleep peacefully at night." And if I expected it to be true, the little grain I got was just a brick throw, and there should be a big head in the future. ”

Xun Yuqi said: "Big head? ”

Lu Ren nodded: "Maybe, maybe, probably, I should have said that Liu Bei was moved, and he might send a large amount of grain to help the people...... Isn't this what people who always pride themselves on being benevolent and righteous like to do the most? It's just that in this way, it may not be so easy for Cao Gong to use troops against Xuzhou again, Xun Gong, you have to help me say a few kind words when you are in charge. I really can't, at least I have to help me say a few kind words, so that I can have the opportunity to say something to Cao Gong myself. ”

"What!? You actually said that Liu Bei would be sent out for food relief? ”

Xun Yu was so shocked that he wondered if he had heard it wrong. Before, Xun Yu and Guo Jia thought that Lu Ren's trip to Xuzhou to buy grain this time was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to help Cao Cao stabilize Liu Bei in the east, but they didn't expect Lu Ren to make such a big move. But to be honest, what kind of position people are in, what kind of perspective they will have on things. Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at the problem from a political and military point of view, but Lu Ren just didn't want to see that kind of thing happen in front of him again.

At this moment, Lu Ren didn't pay attention to Xun Yu anymore, but commanded the people of the grain team to put these two hundred truckloads of sixty tons of grain in the place that Xun Yu left for him. As for the money and silk that Xun Yu gave him at that time, Mi Zhu would not accept it, so Lu Ren also brought it back, but did not return it to Xun Yu, but distributed the money to the people in the grain team.

After sending Mi Zhu's men and horses to carry grain to him on the road, Lu Ren looked at the hungry people outside the city, and suddenly took a deep breath and shouted: "From tomorrow onwards, porridge will be distributed at the city gate once a day at the end of the hour (before 11 o'clock at noon) and at the end of the hour (before 7 o'clock in the evening) until the food I bought back is exhausted!" But I have a word first, if anyone dares to breed right and wrong, I will not spare it! ”

————————————————————

How long can 60 tons of grain last? Lu Ren didn't bother to pay attention to it, because there was only so much he could do on his own.

Xun Yu asked Lu Ren to preside over the opening of the porridge field by himself, but Lu Ren was in no mood to care, after all, it was really not a good thing to look at those hungry people with yellow faces and thin faces every day, so he still threw it to Xun Yu. Lu Ren himself rode out of the city every day at dawn, either going around here or going there to see, so that Xun Yu and Guo Jia didn't know what Lu Ren wanted to do.

On this day, Lu Ren was inspecting the soil under his feet on a piece of land in the north of Juancheng, when someone suddenly found Lu Ren in a hurry, saying that Xun Yu and Guo Jia wanted Lu Ren to return to the city quickly. Lu Ren didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly got on his horse and returned to the city. As soon as he returned to the city, Guo Jia pulled Lu Ren to the east gate tower of the city, and then pointed outside the city: "This is all caused by you." ”

Lu Ren followed Guo Jia's hope and saw that there was a relatively informal camp outside the city, there was no flag in the village, and the people guarding the edge of the village were all dressed as family soldiers. Lu Ren was stunned for a long time and didn't understand, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Guo Jia said bitterly: "What's the matter? Wen Ruo and I still want to ask you what's going on! Didn't you say before that Liu Bei might send food to help the people? Why is it the Mi family's caravan now? ”

Lu Ren was stunned again: "Caravan? Mi Zhu really plans to make a lot of money when there is a disaster in Gunzhou? Aren't you afraid that we will send troops over and rob all the food he brought? ”

Guo Jia was happy: "Rob? What to rob? Are you stupid for others or are you stupid for yourself? People said along the way, this batch of food is used to help the people, and sending troops to rob it will not force all the hungry people to rebel? And you kid will give me a closer look at what is piled up in the stockade over there. ”

Lu Ren said: "It's a little far, how can I see clearly?" You just say no? ”

Guo Jia said: "It's full of firewood and grass!" The people made it very clear that as soon as they found out that Juancheng had been rude, they immediately burned all the 5,000 grains and rice they brought. Who would dare to touch them like this? ”

Lu Ren only felt inexplicable: "Then what did I call back for this matter?" Just because I have an old relationship with the Mi family, I used to talk well? ”

Guo Jia slapped his head: "I was so angry with you that I forgot to tell you." The leader of this caravan is Miss Mi Zhen of the Mi family, and she sent a letter to her, saying that she wants to see you by name. ”

"Shrimp!?" Lu Ren was completely stunned this time: "Why did Mi Zhen's little girl come here?" ”

Xun Yu also came to the side of the two at this time, and then Xun Yu and Guo Jia both looked at Lu Ren with a rather strange and sinister smile. How could Lu Ren stand the strange faces of these two? Immediately defeated, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll go out of the city to see her and see what kind of medicine she sells in her little girl's gourd." ”

Guo Jia and Xun Yu watched Lu Ren beat his horse out of the city from the gatehouse, Guo Jia touched his smooth chin and said with a wicked smile: "These two are afraid that there will be adultery." ”

Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia: "If there is really an adulterous affair, he will only deliberately conceal it, how can he act like this, for fear that others will not know." In my opinion, Miss Mijia should have ulterior motives. Although 5,000 grains is not much, it is enough to help the people for a while. Now I only hope that Yihao can get the five thousand grains without any danger. ”

Guo Jia smiled evilly: "If you don't know, this kid Yihao once said that he missed his mouth when he was drinking and laughing with me before, that is, Mi Zizhong had intended to recruit Yihao into the Mi family, and he also had a lot of dealings with Miss Mi Jia." The two had long been close to each other, but now they were on opposite sides. If we meet like this today, if we spread the word...... Hehe, breaking up a pair of partners alive, it's really a creation to make people, to create people! ”

Xun Yu said dumbly: "There is such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it. However, when today's events are spread, it may not be something despicable, and it may become a good story. ”

Guo Jia's face was slightly correct: "It must be a good story." ”

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia and smiled indifferently: "You and me...... Tacit. ”

Not to mention these two, just said that Lu Ren hurried to the outside of the village, and saw from a distance that a long column of bamboo and wood tents had been built outside the village, and those servants who maintained order, the people who lined up in a long line, and the bursts of porridge fragrance wafting in the air were all clearly telling Lu Ren that Mizhen was already distributing porridge food, but Lu Ren really didn't understand what Mizhen was doing. And when Lu Ren came to the front of the village, before he had time to report his name to the servants, Mi Zhen's voice had already come:

"Mr. Lu!"
