Whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, fame is immeasurable in terms of its value and practicality. And enough fame often means that there will be enough appeal and influence, and when it comes to doing things, it will often have the effect of doing more with half the effort, and vice versa. And now Lu Ren is ...... To be honest, the name is not enough.

If it's somewhere else, what kind of place is it in the area of Ying and Xu? There are already many chaotic wealthy families, and now it is the new capital of the Han family. If you want to be successful here, you can be a good Xu Duling, if you don't have enough fame, you are talking nonsense! If you don't have a good reputation, you don't have the appeal you should have, so I'm afraid that the people won't be able to move, and the government decree will not work, and in this case, it's a fart thing! And if Lu Ren can't do it, this "Xun's Zhongxing plan" will only be empty talk.

After realizing this problem, Xun You immediately took action, and found the backbone members of the clan to send to Xuchang to secretly promote Lu Ren's reputation and deeds, and Xun You did this thing coincided with Xun Yu. Before Xun Yu's people were sent out, the people sent by Xun Yu rushed to Xun's village. Compared with Xun You, who only has a little rumor about Lu Ren here, many of the people sent by Xun Yu are people who have personally experienced Lu Ren's "glorious achievements" in Juancheng and Puyang, so the integrity of "Lu Ren's story" is extraordinary.

So, when Lu Ren was still inspecting the land and water conservancy outside the city, the streets and alleys of Xuchang, teahouses, wine shops, and vegetable fields in farms, anyway, it can be said that the most talked about by people is the "Trial Guarding Xu Du Ling Lu Ren Lu Yihao" on the list. And Lu Ren has done a lot of things since he came out, such as buying grain in Xuzhou, trying to Tun in Juancheng, gambling in Tuntian, breaking into Tian's alone, and Puyang Shitun's "It's not a good year but it's better than a good year", each of which has been deliberately spread by the Xun people.

I don't remember which master said that fame is actually praised by people. Now Lu Ren is being praised by the Xun family, a first-class family, and it is difficult to think of fame! Not only Lu Ren, but even Wan'er was famous.

However, while Lu Ren's so-called positive reputation of "strict law and discipline, good management of the people, fine farming, and Fuzhou County" was promoted, some negative reputations were also indispensable, and this kind of thing has always been a gossip that good people talk about, so Lu Ren's name of "unruly prodigal son" has also been spread in a mess...... Although it was originally true, Xun Yu didn't dare to spread it like this. There is also the section where Lu Ren went to Xuzhou to buy grain from Mi's family, and people also deliberately linked Lu Ren to Mi Zhen, saying that it was the result of Lu Ren's mercy everywhere.

In the end, it is naturally Wan'er in the end. People are thinking, what kind of beautiful woman will this woman who can make the Tian family recklessly rob and enter the mansion, but in the end cause Lu Ren to go crazy? Maybe at this time, many people want to see this legendary Wan'er, right?

These are probably things that Lu Ren never dreamed of. What's even more ridiculous is that he often has Cai Yan by his side now, and when he is running around, he is always seen, and as a result, he treats Cai Yan as Wan'er. And what is the level of Cai Yan's beauty and charm? After seeing it, people exclaimed, no wonder Lu Ren did that......

————————————————————

It's winter and November in the blink of an eye.

"Wen Ruogong is here." On the newly built city wall in Xuchang, Lu Ren bowed to Xun Yu, and after the salute, Lu Ren complained: "Wen Ruogong, you can really pit me!" ”

Xun Yu had long been surprised by Lu Ren's "rude" words and deeds, and smiled casually and said, "Pit you?" Did you mean that I had hurt you? When have I ever wronged you? ”

Lu Ren invited Xun Yu into the gatehouse, and there was a sand table in the gatehouse, which was naturally the topography of the Xuchang area, and of course the small models of the city wall, palace, and streets, which could be seen at a glance. Now in Xuchang, because of the large number of fired bricks, some of them have to be clay craftsmen, and it is not difficult to get this thing out.

But seeing Lu Ren pointing to the model of the city wall on the sand table, he said, "You still said that you didn't pit me?" Xun Gong, a person like me, you just let me go to Tuntuntian and all kinds of land, why do you have to recommend to Cao Gong to hand over the work of building the city wall and palace to me? Now I have to supervise the construction of the city and the city, and I have to go to the farmland outside the city to prepare the fields for the spring, and everyone is about to have problems. ”

Xun Yu smiled: "Those who can work hard!" Besides, you told your lord that you don't know how to build, but aren't these walls very good now? ”

Indeed, Lu Ren's city wall with concrete rammed earth on the inside and brick walls on the outside is very good. The wall is nine feet high...... This is. One Hanzhang is about 2.4 meters, and nine Hanzhang has to be more than 20 meters. And what is the concept of more than twenty meters? In modern times, that's six or seven stories high. Therefore, the height of the city wall is five zhang, that is, about twelve meters, which is about the height of a four-story building; According to the system at that time, the city wall really reached nine zhang here, and it was only the enemy towers with four gates and four corners...... on the flagpole apex only.

According to the law system at that time, the outline of the capital city where the Son of Heaven was located should be 25 miles square, while Xuchang was only 19 miles square, which was much worse in scale, that is to say, the outline of Xuchang City should be expanded three miles on all sides.

Lu Ren was not stupid enough to tear down the old city wall, so he turned the original nineteen-mile city outline of Xuchang into an inner city, and then built a new layer of outer city outside the inner city, which not violated the regulations but also strengthened the defense capability of Xuchang City. Moreover, military camps can be built in the four corners of the outer city for the standing army under the command of the commanders, guards, and captains of the four gates, so as not to disturb each other with the people in the city.

Of course, it is not a joke that the city wall of four twenty-five miles, a total of one hundred miles, is to be built, and the consumption of manpower and material resources is very large, and it is quite time-consuming. However, due to Lu Ren's improvement of building materials, the progress of the project has improved a lot. Lu Ren was planning and testing in August, and the formal construction began in early September, and after more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in two months, about one-third of the 100-mile city wall has been built. Again, don't underestimate the wisdom and labor ability of the ancients, until now Lu Ren was surprised, because the speed of the project was really beyond his imagination.

It's okay to say that the construction of the city wall is good, and Lu Ren also supervised the construction of the palace and official residences in the city...... Although it is only to provide enough slabs and bricks and related artisan labor. But after two or three months, the palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was actually built. Of course, this is also related to the relative convenience and speed of Lu Ren's brick craftsmanship, and it also has a lot to do with Emperor Han Xian's requirement that the palace should not be luxurious and simple.

It is said that Lu Ren is doing well now, but Lu Ren really feels a little unbearable, so he complains to Xun Yu. After reading it ruthlessly, Lu Ren finally threw out what he wanted to say: "Now that the construction of the city wall, palace, and houses is on the right track, Mancheng and them are fully competent, Xun Gong, don't let me have to keep an eye on it from time to time." And it's already November, and if you don't hurry up the preparations for recruiting people to Tuntian, I'm afraid that a lot of things will be missed when the spring comes. ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "You are right, I will help you keep an eye on the matter of the city wall and palace, but if there is any problem that you can't understand, I will still find someone to ask you." ”

"This is natural." Lu Ren responded, and then pointed to the southeast in the sand table: "This is the real map of Xu Du that I can draw, the original Tuntian point I chose in the east and south of the city, because this area is close to Runan, in the old days, most of the Yellow Turban thieves and rogues were bad, the villagers are scarce and the old wealthy families either moved to other counties or did not die in the Kou, most of the fertile land has been barren for a long time, according to the old decree of 'nationalization of the ownerless land', I think there will be no unnecessary trouble in opening up the deserted Tuntian in this area." I also consulted with Ling Nephew before, and he agreed with my idea. ”

Of course, Xun Yu and Xun Yu knew the old situation in the Xuchang area, and now after hearing Lu Ren's explanation, Xun Yu lightly bowed his head and said: "Not bad, yes, so good!" Xu County has become the new capital, and it is indispensable to spend great effort to repair and rebuild, and at the same time, it is necessary to appease public opinion to avoid chaos. Tuntian's selection of barren and inhabited places in the east and south of the city can indeed save a lot of unnecessary trouble. The two of them knew what each other was referring to, so naturally there was no need to say more.

Lu Ren was relieved when he saw Xun Yu nodding in agreement, and then pointed to the center of the picture and said, "Xun Gong look here again." After the new construction of Xudu, it is not only the heavenly ** room, but also the temple, the provincial Taiwan Academy, the government and the treasury or something...... Hey, Xun Gong you know that I don't know much about the legal system, so I don't know how to build it, plus most of the Sikong, Shaofu, and general craftsmen in charge of these things died in the Chang'an Rebellion, and I don't dare to make a ......."

As he spoke, he pointed to a few places in the sand table and said, "This is the place I reserved after consulting with everyone, and I ask Xun Gongjuan to go to the inner court to choose a place to build it." ”

It's okay not to say it, Xun Yu immediately had a big head when he said it. That's right, the children of famous families like Xun Yu inevitably have to come into contact with the law system of the Han Dynasty when they are studying, but the planning and craftsmanship of garden architecture will not be studied, that is to say, Xun Yu is also confused about the construction of palaces and government offices. Lu Ren suddenly threw these things at him all at once, Xun Yu's head is not big, it's strange!

However, Lu Ren is not finished here, just as soon as he opened his mouth, Xun Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop!" Yihao, stop for a moment and let me think about it! ”

Lu Ren threw over so many things at once, and even Xun Yu couldn't digest it. After thinking for a while with his eyes closed and stroking his beard, Xun Yu and Lu Ren discussed it carefully. And this discussion was discussed until sunset and dusk. In a word, these two know that Cao Cao's "big butler" is really not so easy to be.

When the conversation was over, the attendants brought food to fill the stomachs of the two. After eating and chatting a few words, Lu Ren continued to complain: "Xun Gong, you are really ...... How good was it for me to plant land in Juancheng in the first place? It's like now, since I have received the order, I have to do it, but I don't know if it's right or not, so I can only do it as carefully as possible...... Xun Gong, look at me! As he spoke, he rolled the eyelids of his eyes to Xun Yu.

“…… Yoshiho, what are you doing here!? ”

"Look at my eyes, they're bloodshot!" Lu Ren folded his fingers and calculated, "How many things have I done since I arrived in Xu!?" It's really that people are tired and sick, and often they don't think about anything after the day, they just want to sleep. ”

Xun Yu's face twitched a few times, and he asked carefully, "You didn't make any mistakes, did you?" ”

Lu Ren sighed heavily and lowered his head: "It's okay!" However, the main headache now is the matter of recruiting people to Tuntian. It's okay to say that the general homeless people are recruited, but I am most worried about the persuasion of those wealthy families. ”

Xun Yu put his mind at ease, and then smiled indifferently at Lu Ren: "Well, you really don't have to worry about anything." I think the letter will be fruitful in a few days. ”

Lu Ren raised his eyes to look at Xun Yu, but he already knew it in his heart......
