Why did Mi Zhen put forward such conditions to Lu Ren? It is said that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, Lu Ren, as the authority, has his brain in a mess, and he can't understand Mi Zhen's true intentions. But Mi Zhen's little cleverness was seen through at a glance in front of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, two smart bystanders.

So where is Mi Zhen's belly black? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple. Mi Zhen's real purpose of coming to release grain for relief this time is what Xun Yu called "selling fame and reputation". However, if it is only to release grain to help the hungry, the effect will inevitably be insufficient. If this is to be replaced with a modern term, that is, only selling goods without advertising, the awareness will still be very low. And Mi Zhen is leading the team like this, and her own risk is relatively high.

So Mi Zhen's idea is to make some noise, and at the same time play her own name, by the way, pass the ball of risk to someone else's foot, and the person who took the ball is of course Lu Ren...... In other words, Mi Zhen can't find anyone else.

So why don't you simply hand over the food to Lu Ren? Not enough, not enough, in modern terms, this is what this event does, it will not be interesting at all, there will be no hype at all. But isn't Lu Ren "pregnant with Cai Yong's legacy music"? If Lu Ren was asked to "buy" the grain in Mi Zhen's hand with the rhythm of music, it would be an elegant thing to spread it, and this kind of tone was the favorite among the literati at that time. And the Mi family represented by Mi Zhen, as one of the protagonists of the matter, is difficult to think of!

It is precisely because of this that Xun Yu and Guo Jia sighed lightly and said, "Miss Mi is not simple", but these words cannot be said to Lu Ren, because Xun Yu and Guo Jia are afraid that Lu Ren will have any resistance to this. The current famine is serious, so it is important for Lu Ren to get the food in Mi Zhen's hand as soon as possible to help the hungry people, so as to stabilize the people in the territory.

As for Lu Ren here, although he was used as a gun by Mi Zhen, in Xun Yu and Guo Jia's opinion, Lu Ren actually did not lose, and it could even be said that he made a profit. Lu Ren is also one of the protagonists in this play, and Lu Ren will also become famous if it is spread......

In this way, Lu Ren, who was dizzy, finally took over the batch of grain from Mi Zhen's hands after blowing dry in front of an unknown number of people a few days later. And since Mi Zhen has kicked the ball out perfectly, it doesn't make sense to stay in Juancheng anymore, and he will almost take the people back to Xuzhou, and Xun Yu and Guo Jia, the two people who understand, have been secretly having fun in their hearts.

————————————————————

It was almost noon, but the sky was gloomy and gloomy, and there was hardly a bright ray of sunlight in sight under the dark clouds. The wind was dusty, the branches and leaves were trembling, and the doors and windows that were not closed were whining in the wind.

Juancheng Mansion, Guo Jia sat on the floor with his back against the doorpost. Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, Guo Jia laughed a few times, took out a small gourd from his sleeve, unscrewed it and poured a few mouthfuls, and after covering it, he stretched out his arm at the end of the tether, and let the gust of wind blow up the wide sleeves and the gourd hanging in his hand. With the clatter of his sleeves, Guo Jia suddenly sighed: "When there has been a great drought for a long time, this sky is finally willing to rain now!" ”

"Although the heavy rain is coming, it is inevitable that the rain will come too late......" Xun Yu picked up Guo Jia's words and walked out of the hall slowly. When he walked to Guo Jia's side, Xun Yu snatched the small gourd from Guo Jia's hand and said with a smile: "Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, now that you are short of food, you still have a good wine to enjoy alone." Now that I have seen it, I want to share a few glasses. ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jiake said that they have been fellow villagers and classmates since they were young and still in the same bed (cough, the table is crooked), and now there are no outsiders present, and seeing that there will be heavy rain to alleviate the drought, they naturally joked with Guo Jia when their mood improved.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "I secretly hide good wine? Then you take a sip and try it. ”

Xun Yu unceremoniously poured a sip and said in amazement: "This, this is tea!" ”

Guo Jia said: "When there is a famine, the people don't even have food to fill their stomachs, so where does the surplus grain come from to make wine?" Let me tell you, I haven't touched a drop of wine in almost half a year! At the beginning, there was still a bit of the old wine fragrance that could be used as a wine, but after such a long time, the only remaining wine fragrance has faded away. ”

Xun Yu smiled dumbly: "It's really difficult for you, a prodigal son who has no wine or joy...... However, the lord has sent a messenger back, and Chen Di has made a slight decision, and he will return to the army with food on the same day, and I will not care if you are drunk at that time. ”

Guo Jia smiled casually, snatched back the gourd and poured a few sips of himself, and when he looked up at the sky again, the raindrops in the sky had already fallen, and after a while, the rain was pouring down.

After this rainstorm, the room inevitably looked stuffy, so Xun Yu also sat on the ground under the porch, and talked with Guo Jia about some current affairs without a word. While talking, Xun Yu suddenly asked, "How is your brother Lu Xian recently?" ”

Guo Jia snorted and said, "He? It's still the same way, he goes out of the city at dawn, and he doesn't come back until dark, and when he comes back, he goes headlong into the study, and he doesn't know what he's doing. ”

Xun Yu groaned: "For some reason, I always feel that although Lu Yihao seems ordinary, he has unknown advantages, and he will be of great use in the future." ”

Guo Jia was silent for a long time before shaking his head lightly and sighing: "It's not a secret, although I have been friends with Yihao for more than a year, I still can't really see through him...... How so? Perhaps the word "ambitious" is the best way to describe him. At first, he was not allowed by Xuzhou to come to join me, just to be a small official to eat and drink with me, just to live a peaceful life. If he is just a mediocre person, I will send him away at will, but you and I have found out that Yihao has his own advantages, and I didn't expect him to be able to move Liu Bei to come to Gunzhou to help the people. Now I just don't know what he's going to do next that will surprise you and me. ”

Xun Yu said: "If you only want to live with food and clothing, wouldn't you be despised?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "That's right, but I know very well that Yihao is not doing things for his career achievements, nor for the great cause of the lord, but for his own state of mind." At the moment, although he is running around all day long, he is doing something, but I dare say that when he is done, he will leave without hesitation. I'm afraid he can't be tied up with fame and fortune. And if he wanted to go, no one would be able to stop him. The reason why he hasn't left now is because he's doing something he wants to do. ”

Xun Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment and asked, "Although everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced, if Yihao is really talented, wouldn't it be too much pity to let him go?" Feng Xiao, do you have a way to keep him? ”

Guo Jia looked up at the sky: "I don't know." Do you want him to start a family with his lord? But that Miss Mi is now in Xuzhou. ”

Xun Yu smiled indifferently: "That Miss Mi is really a beauty, and she is very close to Yihao. There is such a person, and he wants to casually send a woman to Yihao as his wife, but Yihao is afraid that he will not be able to look down on him. ”

Guo Jia was about to answer, but Lu Ren, who didn't have an umbrella, covered his head and ran in. As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the porch, he shook the rain on his body and said to the two: "Oops, it's just here!" ”

Xun Yu said: "Yihao is in such a hurry, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I heard that Cao Gong's messenger is coming?" When will Cao Gong come back? ”

Xun Yu said: "About ten days." ”

Lu Ren said: "Ten days...... Almost. Xun Gong, Lao Guo, I have one thing I want to ask you for help. ”

The two said in unison: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I don't want to be this better than Cao Pengshi." ”

"Ah——!?h

Xun Yu and Guo Jia exchanged glances, and Guo Jia immediately asked, "Well done, why don't you suddenly want to do it?" Do you want to go back to Xuzhou and marry that Miss Mi family!? ”

"What? Am I innocent with Miss Mijia? Lu Ren stepped forward and kicked Guo Jia in anger: "I just don't want to be Cao Pengshi, and at the same time, I want to ask the two of you to help me find another official position." ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For Xun Yu, Lu Ren is a good helper; For Guo Jia, Lu Ren is a rare good friend, and it is difficult to find someone to fill the gap when such a person leaves. And since Lu Ren wants to find another position, it means that Lu Ren wants to do something again, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also have a little expectation, Xun Yu asked: "Then Yihao, what position do you want to transfer?" ”

Lu Ren took the hot tea brought by the waiter, poured two sips to warm up, and then adjusted his breath before saying, "Captain Tuntian." But it doesn't seem like there's such an official position now, right? If not, I have to trouble Xun Gong, you can see if there are any similar official positions, anyway, I just want to take people to Tuntian to farm.

"Tuntian?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia were at a loss again, because they never expected Lu Ren to make such a request.

However, Lu Ren was not surprised by the reaction of these two, but took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it to Xun Yu. When Xun Yu unfolded, Guo Jia naturally turned his head over, and then the two of them read softly at the same time: "The art of Fu Dingguo lies in strengthening the army and eating enough, the Qin people are eager to agriculture and the world, and filial piety is to set the Western Regions in Tuntian, which is a good way for the ancestors...... What about the back? ”

"I—I can't write it." Lu Ren scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed. He really can't write these crepe things, and these few sentences are still copied according to historical materials.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other dumbfounded, and Xun Yu put the bamboo slip aside helplessly and said: "That's it, Yihao, you should tell me and Feng Xiao what you think, and when I understand, I will help you ghostwrite this article." ”

Lu Ren arched his hand to Xun Yu: "Then there will be Lao Xungong." In fact, during this time, I was wandering around the city, looking for a suitable place to try. In addition, when I opened a porridge farm to help the hungry, I asked many hungry people how they usually farmed. Now I can say this to Xun Gong, that is, the cultivation of the people in all parts of Gunzhou is completely unlawful. ”
