The problem of Yizhou's population base has always been a problem for Lu Ren. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, Lu Ren will always absorb the population from various regions in a different way. According to the census of the spring of the thirteenth year of Jian'an...... This is a word brought by Lu Ren, and at that time, it actually had to be called naturalization, and it all meant the same thing anyway. In short, the current resident population of Yizhou, note that the resident population is 200,000.

In fact, to be honest, the population of 200,000 in a state was not small at that time, and it was also the level of a small state, but of course this was far from enough for Lu Ren. Now that there is an opportunity to absorb the population of the Central Plains, how could Lu Ren let go of such an opportunity?

But there is one thing, many things should not be too obvious and blatant, and the reason is that you should not really assume that the lords of the time did not understand the consequences of population loss. Therefore, Lu Ren's posture has always been to passively accept the displaced people from all over the world, rather than actively how to do it.

If he acts too actively, if so-and-so cuts off the trade with Lu Ren, Lu Ren will also become very troublesome here. Although the small-scale peasant economy is despised by Lu Ren, he has to admit that in many cases, the stability of this thing is still very good.

I won't go into details, Liu Ye rushed to Lu Ren to report the news from Jingzhou to Lu Ren, and then discuss the corresponding countermeasures with Lu Ren. After the uproar of the discussion, Liu Ye noticed that Lu Ren's mental state was a little sluggish, obviously very tired...... This is actually a bit nonsense, Lu Ren and Cai Yan tossed for an hour and a half, that is, about three hours, and launched a total of four times before and after, and then Cai Yan drove him out without much rest. Is it really that Lu Ren is beaten with iron? It's weird if you're not tired.

Liu Ye frowned at this, but Shirley on the side suddenly opened her mouth and quipped to Lu Ren: "Senior brother, I see that your body is weak and your steps are a little vain, so how many rounds have you fought with Wen Ji before?" ”

Liu Ye's sip of wine almost didn't squirt out. Liu Ye has long been surprised by the openness to the atmosphere of Yizhou women, but what kind of character is Shirley? Whether it is appearance, temperament, or knowledge and talent, Liu Ye is really admired, and Shirley usually looks like an iceberg goddess, which often makes people feel that they cannot be blasphemed, but where would they have thought that at this time, Shirley would say such a meaty thing?

Correspondingly, Lu Ren seemed to be accustomed to this, but he raised four fingers at Shirley with a black face, but Liu Ye only felt that his discipline fell to the ground in an instant.

Fortunately, Shirley's next question was quite serious: "I'm just a little weird." Senior brother, although you are usually very, you don't even have this bit of self-control. What spurred you to make you so crazy today? And Wen Ji and she have been in the rain four times? Aren't you afraid that your body can't bear it? ”

Lu Ren pretended to sigh, and said about the things that happened between him and Cibei today. And after finishing speaking, Liu Ye frowned and said: "General, forgive me, this woman has such a scheming, the general had better take more precautions against her." ”

Liu Ye was embarrassed to say a word, that is, you would be so evil by a widow, so you had better provoke her less. But then again, where can he, Liu Ye, understand this kind of plot brought over from the afterlife in Lu Ren's heart?

Looking at Liu Ye again, he paused slightly, and added: "Yamatai is a backward and barren land overseas, and there is no profit, so why does the general want to waste his energy there?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head secretly when he heard this. This matter is actually a problem of historical limitations, just like in the original historical process, Sun Quan wanted to send troops to Yizhou and Zhuya, and Lu Xun also persuaded Sun Quan bitterly. In fact, in terms of the current situation at that time, Lu Xun's opinion was correct, and the facts also proved that Sun Quan's actions only produced a result that outweighed the losses, but the historical significance contained in this was completely different, but that was something that would be commented on by future generations thousands of years later.

Of course, Lu Ren is not Sun Quan. Sun Quan's actions may just be a great success, but Lu Ren has his own detailed plans and will not act recklessly like Sun Quan. So, Lu Ren picked something that could be said, for example, he was actually just giving some money here, and he didn't really want to send troops to Yamatai; Another example is that after controlling Yamatai, you can get a lot of labor; Another example is ...... Satomi silver in the Satomiyama area of Wajima.

Satomi silver is a good thing. In fact, in the late Warring States period of Wajima, the fact that a certain monkey was able to make such a big move had a lot to do with the mining of Satomi silver in the Satomiyama area, because it was this thing that supported a considerable part of the finance and economy of the monkey regime. And the one thing Lu Ren wants to do most now is to empty all these resources for you.

However, for Liu Ye, seeing that Lu Ren actually had such a detailed arrangement, he was also a lot more relieved. Speaking of which, Liu Ye was mainly worried that Lu Ren's lustful problem would make Lu Ren unable to withstand the temptation, but now it seems that Lu Ren should have no problem in this regard, because Lu Ren simply wants to be wealthy.

On the other hand, the silver mine also touched Liu Ye a lot. If anyone really thinks that a group of people like Liu Ye don't know the use of money, it is very wrong, most of the people who always say "heavy grains, light gold and jade" are nerds, but Liu Ye is a person who plays politics, is it good? For example, when Cao Cao made a big deal to make money to supplement military spending, who in the gang of people such as Liu Ye let go of a fart?

So Liu Ye didn't have anything to say at this time, and Lu Ren turned his head to Shirley: "Shirley, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

For general things, Shirley can tell Lu Ren directly with chip communication, if she comes to Lu Ren in person, it must be something that is not clear in radio communication.

Shirley said: "Oh, in fact, it's not just looking for senior brothers, I originally wanted to ask Wen Ji and them to help." It's just that before I could go in, I saw that Senior Brother, you were kicked out by Wen Ji. ”

Lu Renqi said: "Looking for Wen Ji and them to help?" How can they help you? Do you want Wen Ji to help you write a few words? ”

Even Liu Ye was a little curious about this. In the past two days, Liu Ye has been preparing for the festival in Yizhou according to Lu Ren's intentions, and as a literati, it would be good if he could get a few stickers of Cai Yan to help the fun.

But Shirley shook her head: "Not for this. It's a festival in a few days, and in addition to what you want to show you, brother, I have a few small things to show here. ”

Lu Ren said: "What little thing? ”

Shirley shrugged her shoulders: "We've been using the telegraph for so long, how can the gramophone and speakers as a by-product not be made?" It's just that the important things have to be put first, and this kind of minor things are delayed, and I also use a little leisure time to make them. ”

Liu Ye didn't know what the phonograph and speaker were, of course he was at a loss, but how could Lu Ren not know what it was? When Shirley said this, Lu Ren was interested at the time and asked, "Are these two things sorted out?" So you go to Wen Ji...... You don't want her to record a few songs, do you? ”

Shirley shrugged her shoulders again: "Of course we have to sell it after it comes out, so senior brother, do you think Wen Ji's qin music record will sell well?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "It's a strange thing that you can't sell it, right?" Well...... That's right, at present, this thing must be an absolute luxury, and those who can afford it will be those scholars who can afford it, and what they like is these elegant and elegant tones. Ay? Then why didn't you come to me? My flute music can't be bad, right? ”

Shirley spread her hands: "You are the lord of Yizhou, and you are usually always busy like something, how can you have that time?" In contrast, Wen Ji has a lot of free time, so it's appropriate to look for her, right? But Senior Brother, you happen to be free these days, and now you just happened to be kicked out by Wen Ji, do you want to go to me now? ”

So the three of them left the liquor store and went straight to Shirley's exclusive development department. After that, the three of them hid in a room, and no one knew what happened, only that Liu Ye's face turned white with fright after he came out, and he kept babbling such a sentence in his mouth:

"Hell yes, hell yes! Hell to be alive for so long! How can there be such a thing in this world!? ”

When the attendant asked Liu Ye, Liu Ye just waved his hand to the attendant and said, "You remember, don't listen to Xue Changshi sing in the future, as far as you see her want to sing...... Otherwise, you'll die! ”

In the room, Lu Ren, who was also pale, snatched the microphone from Shirley's hand with a heart: "Shirley, I really didn't expect you to be good at anything, but the five tones are incomplete!" It's just that the five tones are incomplete, but you can sing it like a sonic weapon! ”

Shirley was also very helpless: "That's why I never sing...... By the way, what do you say about letting Wen Ji record the qin music? ”

Lu Ren also had a big headache: "Let's talk about it a few days later, Wen Ji is angry now." Besides, you didn't see what Liu Ye was scared like just now. He is still like this, and it would be strange if Wen Ji didn't have me by her side to explain it to her, and not scare her out of trouble. Then again, you should now understand why I had to hold a festival to make everyone feel comfortable with the steam locomotive when it was officially launched, right? ”

Shirley nodded: "Maybe this is the same as the situation in modern history when the camera was first introduced to China, right?" At that time, when the Chinese people saw the photo, they thought it was some kind of soul magic. ”

Lu Ren nodded again and again: "Well, that's the truth......" (To be continued.) )
