"Mr. Lu!"

Lu Renxun looked for prestige and saw Mi Zhen walking towards him with a smile. At this moment, Mi Zhen is wearing a Han woman's easy-to-move outfit, and she is pretty and a little sassy, which is quite different from the appearance of the rich lady who is a little black-bellied in her image.

But now Lu Ren really doesn't have the heart to appreciate beautiful women, he can't even be polite, and he just shook it off with a sentence: "Is there a mistake?" How did you come to this place where there are so many soldiers and hungry people? ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction: "There is a great famine in Gunzhou, and the hungry people are everywhere, so what is wrong with our Mi family transporting grain here to help the people and relieve the suffering of hunger a little?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I mean...... Oh, I don't need you to come over to a girl's house for this, do you? ”

Mi Zhen said: "The eldest brother and the second brother can't leave, so I am the only one who leads the team here." ”

Lu Ren and Mi Zhen haven't been together for a long time, not a month together, but they still have a little bit of understanding of Mi Zhen, anyway, Lu Ren feels that Mi Zhen personally led the team, it shouldn't be as simple as just coming to help the people. But Lu Ren is not a god, and the girl's heart has always been a needle under the sea, so Lu Ren really can't tell what Mi Zhen wants to do. After a little hesitation, Lu Ren asked tentatively: "Since you are here to help the people, why are you looking for me by name?" Also, there are piles of firewood and grass ...... you."

Mi Zhen smiled: "Mr. Lu is really ridiculously confused. When hunger and hardship are in trouble, it is inevitable that some people will take risks and cause trouble, and if Mi Zhen had not put down these firewood and grass to show deterrence, she might have been robbed many times. ”

Lu Renxin said that it was really the same as Guo Jia, to put it simply, "If you want to have something to eat, be honest, whoever dares to tilt your head will have nothing to eat." To be honest, Lu Ren really thinks that this kind of trick is stronger than blindly sending people to guard against it, and only a girl with a strong personality like Mi Zhen would come up with such a trick.

"So, what do you mean by saying that you want to see me by name?"

Mi Zhen smiled again: "Relying on blood relatives at home and relying on friends when going out, Mr. Lu won't even understand this truth, right?" I came here with so much food, it was tantamount to a night walk in brocade, and of course I wanted to find someone to rely on. But I don't know anyone here, and the only person I know is Mr. Lu, who am I not looking for? ”

Lu Ren nodded with an "oh" and then said in his heart. Moreover, Mi Zhen brought so much food that could make the eyes of the hungry people turn green at the moment, so she had to find the corresponding military and political forces to seek protection. I am an official now, and I am Xun Yu's direct subordinate, and I have some relationship with the Mi family, so who will I find if I don't look for myself as an intermediary?

After understanding what was going on, Lu Ren looked around again, and couldn't help frowning: "Okay, okay, I'm confused." But Miss Mi, it's not a problem for you to stay outside the city like this, and the risk is quite big. Why don't you pack up and go to the city? ”

Mi Zhen looked at Lu Ren and smiled: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Lu Ren said: "Okay, you clean up here, I'll go back to the city and let people clean up the post house." ”

Mi Zhen nodded in agreement, and Lu Ren got on his horse again and hurried back to the city. Mi Zhen watched Lu Ren leave, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said to herself: "Such a good opportunity, you can't let other families take the lead......

Mi Zhen is really just running to Gunzhou to help the people? Of course not. In fact, a few days after Lu Ren left Xuzhou, Mi Zhen returned from the East China Sea, and Mi Zhu told Mi Zhen about the incident. After hearing this, Mi Zhen only asked Mi Zhu one sentence, that is, what Liu Bei meant by this matter, and Mi Zhu told Liu Bei that Liu Bei agreed to sell grain to Lu Ren and planned to come forward by Liu Bei himself to help the Gunzhou area.

And after Mi Zhen learned about these circumstances, she said to Mi Zhu like this: "Since Xuande Gong can't help Xuzhou's grain to leave the country, then we should rush ahead of other families and use the surplus grain and rice at home to help the people of Gunzhou." This kind of thing can be said to be good in the world, and the reputation of our Mi family can be demonstrated; To put it mildly, the wealth of our Mi family is second to none in Xuzhou, but if other families rush to Xuzhou to put grain in front of us, they can say that our Mi family is rich and unkind, and is stingy with money and grain and is unwilling to help the victims, so your reputation will be greatly damaged. ”

At that time, the struggle between the big families was like this, not only for profit, but also for fame. If it is beneficial, it is at most a wealthy family, and to put it mildly, it is a rich man; But if the reputation is loud enough, it is political capital, but it is strange that all families with a little vision do not fight for their heads and blood, and this is even more true for people like Mi Zhu, who were born as merchants. At first, Mi Zhu didn't react, but when Mi Zhen reminded him, he immediately asked Mi Zhen to organize a caravan to send food to Gunzhou.

Then why does it have to be Mi Zhen? This is mainly due to Mi Zhu's identity being a bit inappropriate. After all, Mi Zhu is an official official in Xuzhou, and it is easy to cause some sensitive things to come forward to do this in person, but she will not have such scruples when she hands it over to Mi Zhen, a girl. As for Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang, don't think about it, a guy with less strings in his head, it's too easy to mess up this kind of thing.

————————————————————

At nightfall, Mi Zhen lived in a post house in Juancheng. Because they brought a large amount of food to help the people, the local officials inevitably came out to say a few words of thanks. However, because Mi Zhen is a woman, Xun Yu is inconvenient to set up a banquet and entertain, so he can only go to the post house to meet Mi Zhen and say something on the scene, and at the same time order his direct subordinate Lu Ren to entertain Mi Zhen as a superior.

What did Lu Renxin say? Why did Lao Tzu suddenly become Mr. PR again? Even with Lu Renke, he had the idea of coaxing Mi Zhen back to Xuzhou as soon as possible. It's a beautiful thing to get along with a little beauty like Mi Zhen, but you have to see when it is. And if something happens to Mi Zhen here in Lu Ren, how will Lu Ren explain to Mi Zhu when he turns around?

Finding an opportunity, Lu Ren opened his mouth to Mi Zhen: "Miss Mi, since the grain and rice have been sent to Xuzhou, you should go back to Xuzhou as soon as possible." There is chaos here in Gunzhou, and a beautiful girl like you is prone to accidents. ”

Mi Zhen smiled playfully: "I also want to go back to Xuzhou as soon as possible, but what about the grain and rice I brought?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Just leave it to me." It just so happens that most of the 2,000 grains and rice I brought back before have been used up, and these you brought are just right for me to renew. ”

Mi Zhen glanced at Lu Ren, shook her head and said, "Give it to you?" I'm not reassured. ”

"Ah......" Lu Ren thought about it himself, so much food, even if it wasn't in a year of famine, it was not easy to give it to anyone.

Mi Zhen continued: "These are all the grains that our Mi family took out to help the hungry people, but you are now an official under the command of Cao Gong, I am afraid that you will hand over these grains to Cao Gong to raise the army as soon as you change hands, which will go against the original intention of our Mi family to help the hungry." ”

Lu Renxin said, are you thinking too much? During this period, Cao Cao had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and even if you gave Cao Cao the 5,000 Hu, it would not be enough for Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops to eat for a few days. Besides, if it was really given to Cao Cao, the two thousand Hu that he brought back would have been given a long time ago, how could he still be cooked into gruel at the gate of Juancheng City and distributed to the victims?

However, the things are in the hands of others, and Lu Ren has nothing to do, so he can only smile dryly: "No, no, I promise you that the food you bring will be eaten in the stomachs of the hungry." ”

Mi Zhen looked at Lu Ren strangely: "Is your guarantee useful?" ”

"Uh......" Lu Renxin said as if it was useless.

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, I also know that I am a woman, and it is not appropriate to walk outside like this after all, so I also want to hand over these grains and rice to credible people to help the hungry." ”

Lu Renxin said, what do you want to do? After thinking for a while, Lu Ren said: "If Miss Mi can't trust me, then it's better to entrust it to Xun Sima." Xun Sima is an upright person and a trustworthy person. ”

Mi Zhen shook her head again: "No, I can't trust anyone, unless ......"

"Unless what?" Lu Ren already had a vague premonition that it was not good. After all, Lu Ren had been with Mi Zhen for a while, and knew that Mi Zhen was sometimes a standard black-bellied woman.

Sure enough, Mi Zhen's next words made Lu Ren a little unable to accept the trick: "Unless Mr. Lu can play a few songs for me in front of many hungry people to make food exchange, so that the hungry people will know that it was you, Mr. Lu, who took over this batch of grain from me, and will help the victims on behalf of my Mi family." ”

Lu Ren was stunned, he was really stunned, and he really couldn't understand what Mi Zhen wanted to do for a while. After being stunned, Lu Renzhi said, "Miss Mi, are you a little embarrassed for me?" Well, let me go back and think about it before I get back to you. ”

Mi Zhen smiled and said nothing, and let Lu Ren leave. And after Lu Ren left the inn, he immediately ran to Xun Yu, because at this time, Lu Ren was so confused by Mi Zhen that his mind was like a slurry, and he couldn't analyze anything, so he had to find a smart person to help him analyze the intention behind Mi Zhen's request.

In the palace, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were discussing something on the map. After Lu Ren came in and finished talking about the matter, Xun Yu and Guo Jia each pondered for a moment, and when they looked at each other again, their eyes showed a bit of consternation, but Lu Ren didn't see it.

Guo Jia was never polite to Lu Ren, and laughed at Lu Ren: "Aren't you quite smart?" Why can't you even figure out such a thing? Miss Mi brought food over, and along the way, she kept saying that it was for the relief of the people, but now she has handed over so much food to you, and it is normal to worry that you have not distributed this food to the people. If something happens and doesn't get the food out to the hungry, won't they have to be called a deception? To put it simply, you have to give someone else Miss Mi a decent step down. ”

Xun Yu also nodded and said: "As Feng Xiao said, Miss Mi is a woman, and there are too many inconveniences. It's just a few songs, and it's not a difficult thing, Yihao, you just have to agree. ”

Lu Ren looked at the two of them with some suspicion, but thinking about Guo Jia's words, it seemed that they were right, so he nodded and went back first. However, when Lu Ren left, Xun Yu sighed to Guo Jia: "This Miss Mi family is not simple!" ”

Guo Jia also sighed: "Yes, things that sell fame and reputation can be done so beautifully." Fortunately, she is just a woman, and that's what she usually thinks about. If she were a man, if she studied some military books and war strategies, she would not dare to despise her. ”
