"You just understand, I won't say anything superfluous. As for how trafficking works, you're an expert at it, so you just look at it. ”

After saying this, Lu Ren paused, and then frowned and remembered something. Mi Zhen saw that Lu Ren was like this, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she quietly waited for Lu Ren.

After a long time, Lu Ren finally sorted out his thoughts. Seeing that Mi Zhen was waiting for his words, Lu Ren smiled and said, "Don't look at me like this, I just thought of some other things." But what I think has a lot to do with our decision to continue selling iron. ”

"Really? Sir, tell me about it. ”

Lu Ren said: "Actually, it's very simple, we have a ready-made way to sell iron, and I believe that the Zhen side also hopes that we can continue to cooperate with them, otherwise they won't send someone to ask if you can continue to do this business after knowing that I was dismissed from my official position." Now that Lao Cao has a need, we should continue to do it and strive to tie up the relationship with the Zhen family.

"Again, even if we don't do this copper and iron business, there will still be other people who will do it, or even rush to do it. When that time comes, the Zhen family will probably abandon us and cooperate with other clans instead. If it becomes like that, won't all the hard work, relationships and foundations we have made before be in vain? But on the other hand, if we seize the opportunity to strengthen the relationship with the Zhen family, how huge will the long-term business benefits be, you don't need me to remind you, right? ”

Mi Zhen nodded again and again: "Mr. is very right!" If we don't do this copper and iron business if we have a ready-made way to do it, sooner or later there will still be other people to do it, and the Zhen family is bound to choose another clan that can cooperate with it in order to seek long-term business benefits. If they do a good job, it's fine, and if they don't, they will resent us for abandoning them. If that's the case, friends who are supposed to be good will turn against each other. ”

Lu Ren also nodded and said, "Yes, I also thought of this just now, so I expressed my support for continuing to sell iron." In fact, the relationship between us and the Zhen family is relatively easy to get through. It's okay to explain some things to them with your ability, I don't want to say more about this, and you have to remember the other thing, the Zhen family has a very important person by my side! With such a relationship, the Zhen family is also more willing to continue to cooperate with us. ”

Mi Zhen smiled: "Sir, you're talking about Ah Cheng, right?" I almost forgot about him. But just like Mr. said, there is such a relationship, no matter how good the Zhen family is, they will choose to cooperate with us first. ”

Lu Ren said: "I won't say anything superfluous, you can do everything yourself, and the corresponding Xun Wenruo will also open the door for you as much as possible." However, you might as much as you can take advantage of, as long as you don't go too far. ”

Mi Zhen smiled again: "You don't need to be reminded by Mr. about this." I will definitely take advantage of all the advantages that should be taken, just to avenge the dismissal of the official for your husband. ”

Lu Ren also smiled. In fact, some of the things that Lu Ren thought of just now were not said, and he couldn't say them to Mi Zhen. To put it simply, Lu Ren took into account the course of history, if there was no deviation, the Battle of Guandu should still be fought between the fifth and sixth years of Jian'an, and Lu Ren was still inclined to Cao Cao to win, although it was also a narrow victory in history.

So from the perspective of Cao Cao's ability to win, then after the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's ability to control the Hebei region will decline step by step, and when Yecheng is broken in the ninth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao's family's control of Hebei will basically be over, and Cao Cao will replace it.

And at that time, or it should be said that after the battle of Guandu, the copper and iron business between himself and the Zhen family was actually unnecessary, so it would definitely be canceled by Cao Cao, or at least it would be changed to formal business management at that time. In this case, that is, in the past few years before being canceled by Cao Cao, of course, he can get as much as he can here.

Of course, in fact, by that time, Lu Ren would have already worn it back, and how these things would develop was not something that Lu Ren could manage. But Lu Ren is not such a conscienceless person after all, and before he wears it back, he wants to leave as much money as possible for these people around him. It's just that these words involve "heavenly machines" to a certain extent, how could Lu Ren say them to Mi Zhen?

Seeing Mi Zhen drink a few sips of wine that can only be regarded as grape juice at this time, the person was suddenly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to Lu Ren: "Sir, it seems that we have made a mistake, right?" You are in a hurry to come to me, because you have something to discuss with me, but the copper and iron business we just discussed is actually something I brought, right? Sir, you haven't said anything yourself! If you have anything, just tell me quickly, but don't get down to business because I get out of the way! ”

"Ouch!" Lu Ren couldn't help but pat his forehead: "Yes! I'm not here to discuss these copper and iron businesses. But luckily, my business is not a big deal. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren took out a paper drawing pattern from his arms and handed it to Mi Zhen, and asked, "Can you get the crystal?" ”

"Crystals? A little bit of a hassle, but not a big deal either. What color do you want, sir? ”

Lu Ren said: "I don't want any color, just the colorless and transparent kind." The most important thing is that you have to help me find a craftsman to make it look like I painted, and the transparency must be the best. ”

Mi Zhen took the pattern, but she didn't look at what was drawn on the pattern first, but touched the snow-white paper and sighed softly: "What a beautiful paper!" It feels a little better than silk. Sir, that's not right with you! This kind of paper will definitely sell well by then, but you didn't count me as a share, sir. ”

"I'll you!" Lu Ren scolded angrily: "You are obsessed with money again!" Actually, I don't think this thing makes much money, and I made it up mainly to keep it for Akihime, so that she can have an industry that she can rely on in the future. On the contrary, if it's you, you will have less business on hand that can make a lot of money now? Don't be full, it's okay to stare at my little paper mill. ”

Mi Zhen said in her mouth: "Tut! They just married you, and you're thinking about how to take care of them. Look at how pathetic I am? It's an old girl in her twenties, but in the end no one wants it. ”

Lu Ren's facial muscles twitched again and again: "You have to get it, don't talk about these idleness!" Get down to business! ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and didn't say anything more to Lu Ren. In fact, Mi Zhen will have something to do at this time, and Lu Ren will say a few words, in the final analysis, it is also because Mi Zhen is a little sour in the depths of her heart. In fact, the relationship between Mi Zhen and Lu Ren has always been ambiguous and delicate, and it can even be said that if Lu Ren wants to marry Mi Zhen, Mi Zhen will agree without much hesitation.

But the current situation is that Lu Ren has no meaning for Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen considers that if the Mi clan she leads wants to really settle down, she must rely on Lu Ren, and even with Lu Ren's marriage to Cai Yan, she can only support it. This can only be said to be a helpless move in such an environment, Mi Zhen can't make any radical moves, so she can only take a dip in some trivial things Lu Ren, and use a quick way to relieve the depression in her heart a little.

After Lu Ren's words, Mi Zhen calmed down and carefully examined the pattern handed over by Lu Ren. The things drawn on the drawings were actually very simple, but it was still a bit troublesome to process them at the level of craftsmanship at the time. After reading it, Mi Zhen frowned and thought about it: "Are these things that Mr. wants urgent?" ”

Lu Ren nodded: "This is what I want to use when I go out with the army, do you think I'm in a hurry?" I don't know much about this, and I can only ask you for help now. Do you think you can get it out in a month? ”

I heard that I had to use something when I was in the army, and Mi Zhen didn't dare to be sloppy, and muttered: "A month's time, if it is in peacetime, it is actually very troublesome." But it's a coincidence, we were all discussing cooperation with the Zhen family just now. The Zhen family was originally engaged in the jade business, and they are very good at polishing jade. And now the gentleman is in a hurry, and he can only help him get it out within a month by asking them for help, but I have to send someone to Zhongshan immediately. ”

Lu Ren said: "Then you should do it as soon as possible!" It's not clear what happened on the battlefield, and even if I just delivered military rations, something unexpected might happen to me. That's what I made to save my life. ”

When Mi Zhen heard this, she looked at the pattern in her hand in surprise: "Can this thing save his life on the battlefield?" What kind of amazing thing is this, sir? ”

Lu Ren waved his hand again and again: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, this thing is not as amazing as you think, I just want to make more corresponding preparations when I get this thing, and try to make myself as stable as possible." Then again, if I die on the battlefield in a daze, who will take care of you, and the people around me? ”

Mi Zhen thinks about it, and this is also the truth. Not to mention anything else, his eldest brother feels a little unreliable, and the clan industry in Xuzhou is already scattered, so now Lu Ren is the backbone of himself and his clan. If Lu Ren had an accident on the battlefield, where would Mi Zhen go to find someone she could rely on? Of course, if you really want to find it, of course you can find it, but if you want to find another one who is trustworthy like Lu Ren, and has never had any excessive requirements for Mi Zhen, it will be difficult.

As soon as she thought of this, Mi Zhen didn't care about anything, anyway, what Lu Ren got out always had his reason, and he just needed to make things here and give them to Lu Ren. So Mi Zhen didn't talk nonsense, folded the pattern into her arms three times and two times, and then nodded vigorously to Lu Ren and said: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely live up to Mr.'s trust, and I will hand over the things to Mr. as soon as possible no matter what." Without further ado, I'll turn back to Xudu! ”
