"Sir, do you mean...... Yizhou!? ”

Lu Ren nodded to Mi Zhen, and then paced in circles again. It's not that Lu Ren is selling Guanzi, but this matter was suddenly raised, and Lu Ren has to sort out his thoughts well.

And after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Ren finally figured out a fairly clear idea, and said to Mi Zhen: "But it's too early to think about Yizhou now, after all, with the current situation of you and me, Yizhou is really not such a good place to go." Let's put it this way, if you really have a heart, girl, we have to get Langya up first. ”

That being said, Lu Ren was a little dissatisfied with Langya. In fact, in Lu Ren's heart, if you want to engage in shipping here in Xuzhou, the best place should be somewhere east of Donghai County. This place was not very famous at the time, but it was very famous in later generations, because in later generations its name was Lianyungang.

Lianyungang is located in the northeast of Jiangsu Province, east of the Yellow Sea, and is also the terminus of the Longhai Railway. Lianyungang is a natural harbor along the coast of northern Jiangsu, and the coast is rich in fish and salt, and most of the famous Huaibei salt fields are in Lianyungang.

However, although the land in Lianyungang was good, Lu Ren didn't dare to stretch out his hand over. Because after Lu Ren took over the government affairs here in Tancheng, he knew that Lianyungang had basically been controlled by the local wealthy families in Xuzhou. Even Lu Ren also learned from Mi Zhu's mouth that the Mi clan originally had a salt farm and some conventional fishing boats in Lianyungang, but now they are gone, and the land in the hands of the Mi clan with shipping capacity is only left on Langya's side.

In fact, Langya was also a good place at that time. Not to mention far away, our pig brother is actually a Langya person, of course, this is a bit far, and it has nothing to do with the current Lu Ren. However, Langya is in Shandong, and the Han Dynasty belonged to the Qingzhou territory, and the time point that Lu Ren is now divided from is in Yuan Shao's territory, so it means that Cao Cao's hand is still unable to reach for the time being.

And Cao Cao's hand can't reach through, where can the wealthy family here in Xuzhou stretch out? Those wealthy families here in Xuzhou dare to spread wild on Yuan Shao's territory? In contrast, because the Mi clan has some business contacts with Langya, and has not developed any clan power in Langya, it belongs to the nature of a cooperative relationship with itinerant merchants, and there is a shipyard and other things that are completely within the allowable range of the local wealthy clan in Langya, so the relevant things are relatively intact, so Lu Ren can only regard Langya as the starting point. But then again, Langya is not far from Lianyungang, and the straight-line distance on the sea is only about 100 nautical miles.

"Sister, Langya is close to Qing and Xu, if your Mi family wants to move to Langya, it will only be a few days' journey, and at the moment in Xuzhou, your Mi family has some difficult footholds, it is better to move the original children of Xuzhou to Langya immediately after Lu Bu is broken, and don't go to fight with a family like the Chen family that has a long family in Xuzhou.

"The most important thing is that in Langya, you Mi still have some foundation as a foothold, but Chen they don't, if you go to Langya, Chen will not only not compete with you for Langya, but will also be happy that your Mi family has given up the rich land of Xuzhou, so that the generational struggle between the two families may be resolved, and Mi will have room to develop with peace of mind.

"In my eyes, if you want to revive your family's business, you can no longer fight with people on land, but rely on sea. Your Mi family prospered with business profits, and it was not easy for your generation to transfer to the official career. It's just that the current situation is uncertain, your eldest brother's career is not stable, and the family business is also a lot broken. In this case, you should think about how to revive the family business first, the family business is naturally powerful, and no one dares to bully if the power is great, this is the right reason to prosper the family. It's just that the benefits of traditional farming are quite time-consuming, and you are far inferior to the Chen family in the fields. Besides, you are a businessman, so you should make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses to seek urgent profits. ”

Mi Zhen is not a stupid person, as soon as Lu Ren's words were said, he thought of the three pieces of land that Lu Ren just said, and immediately said a little suddenly: "Sir, do you want me to abandon the north and go south, and the boat caravan will go south along the coast?" ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "That's pretty much it, right?" Even if you don't go to Yizhou, you can completely avoid Yuan Shu and the thieves who are entrenched in the Lianghuai area on the land route. And I remember you said that your boats can go as far as Samhan merchants, so it will not be difficult for you Mi clan to go south along the coast and then turn into the mouth of the river to reach Chaisang. In addition, the goods that can be carried by boats are far better than those of cattle and horses and vehicles by land, and the profits of one trip are only worth several times that of overland traders......"

Mi Zhen lowered her head and thought for a moment when she heard this, and said lightly: "Yes, with the ability of our Mi clan's boats, we can do it to such an extent." Just ......"

Mi Zhen lowered her head as she spoke, and the person fell into deep contemplation. In fact, Lu Ren at best pointed out a path for Mi Zhen, and the test between success and failure was of course in Mi Zhen herself, and Mi Zhen was thinking about the feasibility of the road pointed out by Lu Ren with her own experience at the moment.

After thinking for a long time, Mi Zhen raised her head and said, "Sir, your strategy is indeed very good, but with all due respect, I also thought about the water transportation to the south, but it was on the Jiangdong side...... Sir, you may have been away from Koto for too long, and there are some things that you don't know very well now. ”

Lu Renqi said: "How do you say this? ”

Mi Zhen shook her head and groaned: "In fact, the clan forces over there in Jiangdong are far more complicated than those in Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, it can be said that there is actually only a dispute between my Mi family and the Chen family, but there are Yan (referring to Yan Baihu), Liu (referring to Liu Harrier), Zhou, and Zhang in Jiangdong...... Anyway, there are too many to say for a while. The implicit implication in your strategy is that you are clearly for trade and secretly relocate, but it is difficult for a foreign clan like my Mi clan to stand in Jiangdong. Even if it is just a business, there are many inconveniences in the past, mainly in the things that are not tolerated by these clans, and if you are not careful, you will still get involved in these clan disputes......"

Lu Ren thought about it and said with a smile: "I don't think you need to worry too much about this, right?" As far as I know, the little overlord Sun Ce is sweeping Jiangdong, Yan and Liu, who are not satisfied with Sun Ce, will be eliminated by Sun Ce, and those who are actually attached to Sun Ce's rule, in other words, Jiangdong will only be dominated by the Sun family now.

"You only go there in the name of a merchant, and it is in the period of calm after the Great War, and the demand for many commercial goods in Jiangbei will be very large. In addition, the two Huai trade routes were blocked by Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce turned his face with Yuan Shu again, at this time, your caravan trafficked a large number of urgently needed commercial goods from Jiangdong from the waterway, and they had to tolerate you even if they wanted to. Girl, I think that if the predicament is grasped well, it will be an opportunity. ”

Mi Zhen thought for a while, but then shook her head and said: "Although Mr.'s words are good, but this is related to the safety of my Mi clan, and I can't act arbitrarily." As for this opportunity, it's not that I don't want to seize it, it's just that only my Mi family's words will definitely not be able to stand up in Jiangdong. Unless I can join forces with a certain big clan in Jiangdong, this clan can take care of my Mi clan...... Well!? ”

Saying that, Mi Zhen suddenly glared at Lu Ren for a long time, and suddenly took a selfie on his forehead and laughed: "Look at my foolish energy!" Don't worry about it!! ”

Lu Ren was also happy, and his fingers flicked in front of Mi Zhen's forehead, and said with a smile: "Why do you only remember it now?" ”

Mi Zhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Aren't I worried about the affairs of the clan and upset in my heart?" But I forgot that Mr. You are a member of the Lu clan in the fourth surname of Wu, and not long ago you took over as the head of a tributary of the Lu clan. And sir, you and my Mi clan have always been very close, so if our Mi clan goes to Jiangdong, we can directly find the Wu Di Lu clan to join forces to build a family, so there is no difficulty! Sir, you think long enough, but I have not understood such a mutually beneficial strategy until now, and it is really far inferior to you! ”

Lu Ren thought about it again, and felt that it was better to pour some cold water on Mi Zhen appropriately: "Don't be too happy, but don't forget why Lu Boyan sent hundreds of people from the clan to me, but I believe that Lu Boyan can handle the relationship with Sun Ce." But if you really want to do what I just said, you have to be right. In fact, according to my original intention, when you go to Yizhou, you can use our Wu Realm Lu Clan as a transit supply point, there is a wind and waves on the road, and there is also a place to shelter from the wind. ”

Mi Zhen nodded again and again: "I understand." ”

Lu Ren also nodded, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said secretly: "Alas, what is this called?" inadvertently pulled Lu Xun's Lu clan in, God knows if Lu Xun's guy will agree! There is a record of Lu Xun's 'not governing the family business' in the historical materials, and I am really a little unsure whether Lu Xun will do this......"

Mi Zhen at this head was excited, but immediately calmed down again, and then asked Lu Ren with suspicion: "Sir, although it is not the first time I have heard you talk about Yizhou, I am still a little worried. This Yizhou ...... Will it work? ”

Lu Ren pursed his lips, and said in his heart that Yizhou would be a treasure land of feng shui in the future, and in terms of agriculture alone, rice could be harvested three times a year. Even in this day and age, two crops a year should be fine. However, Lu Ren didn't dare to be too big, after all, in the original history, Sun Quan had attacked Yizhou, and the result was more than worth the loss, and obviously all aspects to pay attention to were not one or two points.

So Lu Ren began to speculate carefully, and at the same time activated the chip and checked the relevant information. Fortunately, after talking about Yizhou with Mi Zhen before, Lu Renyou asked Shirley to transmit some relevant information, and now he found out that Lu Ren had something to say, so after a long time, Lu Ren couldn't help nodding his head and said to Mi Zhen:

"The current Yizhou is still just a barbarian land in the eyes of the world, but as far as I know, this is not the case. The thing we need to pay attention to is ......"

(To add, in the Han Dynasty, people counted the number of boats owned by someone based on the total number of zhang, for example, if someone had five boats of 20 zhang and five boats of 10 zhang, people would call it 150 zhang of 20X5 + 10X5, instead of how many and how many, which is said to be the result of convenient tax calculation.) In the end, it is still shameless to ask for votes, collections, and recommendations!! ）
