Chapter 188: Avoid the important and take it lightly
"Rain girl, you're not joking, are you? With such a fine armor, Yihao's kid said that it could be produced in large quantities? What kind of material is these armors made of that makes Yoshiho dare to say such a thing! ”
But seeing that Zhao Yu shook his head as usual: "I don't know what kind of material Xiaoyu is, because in recent years, Xiaoyu has been wandering around most of the time, helping Mr. him to find out some information he needs, such as where there is abundant but scarce, or if Mr. He has something to do, it is also handled by Xiaoyu, just like the last time I met with Xun Gong and Mr. Guo in Xudu, in fact, Mr. He has something for me to do." ”
Guo Jia hesitated: "What did he ask you to do in Xudu?" ”
Zhao Yu grinned: "Mr. Guo, do you think I will say it?" ”
Guo Jia was dumbfounded, and his heart said yes! Zhao Yu was doing meticulous work at that time, but how could a meticulous work have the truth to say his task goals at will?
However, Zhao Yu's next words made Guo Jia a little surprised: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you say it, after all, Mr. He has been an official in Xu Capital for several years, and Xu Du is a city that Mr. has spent a lot of effort to build, even if he abandons the official and leaves, there will always be some concern in his heart." So that time, Mr. asked Xiaoyu to go to Xudu to see if everything was still okay in Xudu now, and then to visit Mrs. Ding and those children in the childcare house. And in addition, it is to let Xiaoyu find an opportunity to go to Sister Wan'er's grave to pay respects to Sister Wan'er...... It's just that even if these things are explicitly stated, Mr. Guo, you won't believe it at all. ”
“……”
Guo Jia pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "If Yihao's personality is human, he would indeed do such a thing, but what you said, I still only believe half of it." ”
Zhao Yu pursed his lips: "How much difference is that from unbelief?" Never mind. I don't bother to say it, Mr. Guo, you won't tell Cao Gong to detain Xiaoyu and then torture and interrogate because of this matter, right? ”
Guo Jia's head suddenly became a little bigger, and he said that this little girl began to play scoundrels again. Could it be that Cao Cao really let Cao Cao arrest Zhao Yu and torture him again? Are you kidding! Zhao Yu is an envoy sent by Lu Ren to give gifts to Cao Cao, if Cao Cao does this, once it spreads, who will dare to show favor to Cao Cao or even surrender? Then Cao Cao has to fight as many battles as he wants. How many people and troops were lost that could have been included in the command? As for blocking the news, it was even more impossible, Guo Jiake didn't dare to underestimate the energy that Lu Ren had now. Not to mention anything else, with the business path that Lu Ren has now, it would be too easy to spread some news.
Shaking his head secretly, Guo Jia didn't want to be entangled with Zhao Yu on this kind of issue anymore, anyway, Zhao Yu's affairs in Xuchang didn't seem to make any movement that time, and in the end it was nothing more than taking out some ambergris and handing it to Xun Yu, and then Xun Yu sent it to Emperor Liu Xie.
But it's no wonder that Lu Ren's purpose at that time was just to let Zhao Yu help Xu Shu pick up Xu's mother. And a character like Xu Mu is not worth mentioning to Xu Chang and Cao Cao at all, so what kind of movement can be made? Xu Shu caught Cao Cao's attention, and that was a few years later.
So Guo Jia's words changed: "Forget it, it's useless to mention too many old things, and that's not what I asked before." Rain girl, let me ask you again, Yihao said that that kind of fine armor can be produced in large quantities, is this true? ”
Zhao Yu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took out the wine bag from his luggage, and then said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Mr. Guo, do you want to come some?" This is a pineapple beer made from pineapple, a specialty of Yishu. Not very intoxicating, but sweet and tasty. I've just bathed, and I'm thirsty. ”
“…… Give me some. ”
After dividing the wine, Zhao Yu took a few sips, and then said to Guo Jia: "Actually, Mr. Guo should be very clear about his behavior." In his words, he likes to plan before he acts. To be foolproof, it is completely different from Mr. Guo's daring to surprise and take risks. In short, if Mr. is not sure, how could he let Xiaoyu come to visit Cao Gong so solemnly? Isn't sir, just worried that the Cao Guild will detain Xiaoyu? Mr. Guo, in fact, he just wants to find a suitable opportunity to open up more business. It's just that considering the old grievances with Cao Gong, if you don't come up with something that can make Cao Gong feel excited, most of the business between this and Hebei will be useless. ”
Guo Jia thought about it, things seemed to be really reasonable, but he came up with such a sentence: "This kid is really, why do you want so much money when you are full?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Guo Jia knew that he was really confused, and he would say such idiotic words, and when he glanced at Zhao Yu again, he saw that Zhao Yu also leaned back, looking at himself with an idiot-like look. Really idiot, money is such a thing, how many people in this world will be too much?
But then Zhao Yu still made an explanation: "If Mr. Guo insists on asking Mr. what he wants so much money for, Xiaoyu will know a little more about Mr. and his thoughts." In fact, although there are many local products in the land of Yizhou, after all, it is a barbarian land located overseas, with many mountains and few lands and has not been civilized, and many daily things for people's livelihood cannot be obtained at all, and can only be supplemented by commercial and trade exchanges with various parts of the Central Plains.
"In the first few years, our Yizhou was only a small number of displaced people from the Lu and Mi clans, and there were not many people, so it was enough to rely on the business and trade between the sister of the Mi family and Jingzhou. However, in recent years, there have been continuous wars in Hebei, and too many displaced people who have fled the war have gone to Yizhou with the fleet, and the caravan of the Mi family's sister alone has been somewhat unable to cope with it, so Mr. He also eagerly hopes to open up a new trade route in Hebei, which is about to be governed, otherwise, ...... Just kidding, don't make a fuss about our Yizhou even shortage of clothes and fabrics, and everyone has to wear rough animal skins when they go out. And if you want to buy what Yizhou needs from everywhere, the more money you have, the better, so can you buy things without spending money? ”
Of course, Zhao Yu's words are a bit exaggerated, and the Yizhou side is not so much that it can't even grow cotton, linen, and silkworms, but the general meaning is still no problem. Although Guo Jia is extremely smart, after all, he has his own historical limitations and does not know much about extraterritorial matters, so Guo Jia believes Zhao Yu's explanation.
After the next superfluous words, Guo Jia didn't say anything more. As for what Lu Ren wanted to come back, Guo Jia wouldn't even mention it. Others may not know that Guo Jia was the party to the original incident, and should even be said to be the mastermind, so Guo Jia knows better than anyone that it is impossible for Lu Ren to come back. In addition, even if Guo Jia didn't believe all what Zhao Yu said, Guo Jia also knew that it was obviously impossible to meet a little woman like Zhao Yu who was very good at messing around. Instead of wasting your efforts here, it is better to go back and report to Cao Cao first.
So then Guo Jia and Zhao Yu talked a few more idle words, and then said goodbye and left. As for the next thing, that's about it later. But the most important thing is that Guo Jia feels that Lu Ren should not harbor any hostility this time, and if Cao Cao handles it well, he will indeed be able to get a lot of benefits in Lu Ren's hands.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that if that kind of rubber armor can really be equipped in large quantities in Cao Cao's army, no matter what, it can reduce the casualty rate of Cao Cao's elite troops a lot. And in that era, the war was fought by people, and it was not easy for elite soldiers to be trained, and if one died, there would be one less, which family would not be painful? If you can equip yourself with equipment that can reduce the casualty rate, it will be worth the extra money!
Guo Jia didn't ask Zhao Yu anything again, but he didn't know that Zhao Yu was also secretly relieved in his heart, and said secretly: "It's really tiring to deal with old Guo Tou!" Maybe one of them will go wrong if you're not careful. Fortunately, Mr. told me in advance that when I met Lao Guotou, I didn't care about anything, as long as I was full of nonsense and didn't get down to business. Sir, you still know what old Guo Tou is! And this meanness and obscenity of yours really works! ”
Next, Zhao Yu went to Cao Cao's banquet and there was nothing to say. With Guo Jia beating Cao Cao's side drum on the side, it is difficult to do things in Chengdu. Of course, the most important thing is that Guo Jia proceeds from the interests of Cao Cao's side, thinking that Cao Cao can get a lot of benefits from Lu Ren, so he will help Zhao Yu speak......
————————————————————
Cao Cao was carrying out a large-scale rest in Nanpi, and Zhao Yu naturally would not return to Yizhou to return to Lu Ren immediately because he still had real things to do. So when Cao Cao proposed to let Zhao Yu stay here in Nanpi for a while longer, he fell into Zhao Yu's arms and agreed with a full mouth. Of course, both sides actually have their own ghosts, but no one will say it explicitly.
This morning, after Zhao Yu got up, he practiced a sword, and when he was halfway through the practice, Cao Cao's envoy arrived:
"Miss Zhao, the prime minister invites you to the banquet."
"To a feast?"
Zhao Yuxiu's brows furrowed, but she couldn't guess what Cao Cao meant for a while. However, Cao Cao just wanted to get more information about Lu Ren from himself, and it should be no problem for him to pay more attention. Besides, since Zhao Yu followed Lu Ren to Jingzhou at that time, he has not returned to Yizhou for more than a year, and he really doesn't know much about the recent situation in Yizhou.
Soon after, Zhao Yu came to Cao Cao's temporary residence in Nanpi City.
Zhao Yu got off the carriage, looked up at the vermilion lacquer gate, and then looked at the reception staff in front of the gate, and felt confused. Although I am not very worried, I still have some doubts. And Cao Cao is now inviting Zhao Yu to the banquet like this, which seems a bit unreasonable according to the banquet system at that time. You must know that the last banquet was just a small banquet similar to a family banquet. To put it more appropriately, Cao Cao did not use the identity of an official at that time, but received Zhao Yu as a businessman who talked with Lu Ren about his life.
Because in terms of identity, Zhao Yu is just a folk woman, and Cao Cao is the head of the three princes above ten thousand people under one person...... (To be continued.) )
