Chapter 91 Intervene to gain a foothold

Negotiations between Lu Ren and Tian Chou are continuing......

"As far as we know, Karasuma Shan Yu has plundered many areas around Youbeiping and Jiji since he promised Yuan Shang's army, so the people in these places are miserable, and there are many people who have left their homes. It is a miracle that you have a lot of food and rice savings at the docks and fishing boats that can fish in the sea, but you have never been plundered by the Karasuma rangers. ”

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled, "I don't look like such a stupid person, do I?" Right north flat near Karasuma, how could I not have thought about this when I was building the pier? If I didn't think about this, wouldn't my fleet have become a lot of food, rice, and money for the Karasuma rangers in vain? You may not have noticed, my dock in Youbeiping is only for boats to dock, and the real place to put money and food is on a small island about ten miles from the coast. Although the Karasuma Ranger is good at riding and shooting, when he really reaches the beach, he can only look at the island and sigh. Could it be that you can still count on these Karasuma rangers to board the ship and enter the sea? ”

Tian Chou nodded abruptly when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said to Lu Ren: "In this case, there may be a proposal below." Now the northern border is disturbed by Karasuma and there are many displaced people and hungry people, although they have the heart to help, but they have more than enough heart and not enough strength. If Lu Fuchu can provide enough grain and rice for the displaced people to eat, he is willing to set up a dock fort in Youbeiping to settle the displaced people. ”

These words really made Lu Ren hesitate. Why hesitate? Because Tian Chou only said about resettlement, but he didn't say that he would help Lu Ren send all the displaced people to Yizhou.

Others may not know, but Lu Ren knows that Tian Chou is actually "often angry Karasuma Xiduo thief killed his county crown, and he wanted to ask for it but couldn't do it", and this is probably the main reason why Yuan Shao opened Tian Chou five times, Yuan Shang also wanted to ask Tian Chou to go out of the mountain, but Tian Chou refused to die, but Cao Cao just sent someone to invite it, and Tian Chou ran out to Cao Cao as a guide.

Because the relationship between Yuan and Karasuma is good. It can be regarded as an alliance in a sense, Tian Chou is under the hatred of Karasuma, so he is naturally unwilling to work under Yuan Shao, who is good friends with Karasuma; And when Cao Cao went to invite Tian Chou, he was preparing to go north to conquer Karasuma, which was exactly what Tian Chou wanted, so Cao Cao went as soon as he called Tian Chou.

And a person with such a mentality, at this time, he hopes that Lu Ren can provide him with food and grass, so that he can set up camp in the Youbeiping area to recruit homeless people, so what does he want to do? Help Lu Ren gather all the displaced people in the north and send them to Yizhou? How do you look like it? At least in Lu Ren's opinion, this girl/person shouldn't want to take Lao Tzu's money to fight the battle he wants, right? Lao Tzu is still thinking about the tens of thousands of people you have there!

It's just that where can Lu Ren say these words? After such a moment's hesitation, the room fell silent. Lu Ren was silently thinking. Tian Chou was full of anticipation and looked at Lu Ren.

After a long time, Lu Ren suddenly slapped his head and secretly laughed at himself: "What's wrong with me now?" Why has it become so selfish now? I was still the No. 1 angry young man at the beginning, but now that the matter has come to my head, what has he become like this? Could it be that I have really been changed by the environment? ”

Thinking of this, Lu Ren slapped the table and said to Tian Chou: "Okay! Brother Zitai, you want to do something, I won't ask too much, anyway, I can roughly guess. I can take out a lot of grain and rice, Zitai can do what you want. But there is one thing, not everyone can afford to hold a knife and gun and go to the battlefield. Those who can't go to the battlefield, you must not let them die, send them all to Yizhou at the first opportunity, this is my only request. What do you think? ”

Tian Chou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fist to Lu Ren's jaw and said, "That's how it should be!" ”

Lu Ren smiled and stopped talking. In fact, Lu Ren also figured it out at this time, and he was also an angry young man once upon a time. I also dreamed that one day I could sweep away those alien races who repeatedly invaded, but I was unconsciously rubbed off the edges and corners. became too attached to the gains and losses of his own interests here, so much so that when Tian Chou made suggestions, he was thinking about how much oil and water he could get! If that's the case, what's the difference between yourself and those bastards who were scolded by yourself in the first place?

Of course, if you do things completely with enthusiasm, it will definitely not work. Now he is sponsoring Tian Chou and letting Tian Chou defend against Karasuma...... Even if it is only to a certain extent, it is already the limit of what you can do at present. If you don't know how to go any further, you can only accompany yourself in it, but you can't do anything.

Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if you say you're actually shameless. Just like what Lu Ren said to Tian Chou just now, not all people can afford to hold swords and guns and go to the battlefield, so when Tian Chou builds a stronghold and gathers the displaced people, there will definitely be a corresponding number of displaced people boarding ships and moving to Yizhou. Compared with Lu Ren's previous passive absorption, Tian Chou will form a kind of appeal after building a stronghold, which has a great effect on the gathering of scattered displaced people.

In other words, the original absorption can only be absorbed piecemeal, but the practice of Tian Chou can have a large proportion of aggregation effect. As long as nothing else, the number of displaced people gathered together in this way will only be greater than the original number of scattered absorption. There may be some displaced people who stay with Tian Chou to resist Karasuma with Tian Chou under the influence of local feelings, but the proportion of people who are willing to move to Yizhou will still not change, and the population of Yizhou will only increase.

In this way, after Lu Ren decided to shoot the case, he thought about it again and added to Tian Chou: "I just returned to Yizhou, and there are a lot of things to deal with, Zitai, you can't rush the matter here." But I think so, after giving me some time to prepare the fleet and the corresponding grain and grass, I will send Ziliang to take charge of the return of the fleet. As for the right Beiping side, Brother Zitai, you can do it yourself. In addition, I have to ask, Zitai, how many people from your Xu Wushan Dock Fort will move to Yizhou? ”

Tian Chou said: "It's not clear for the time being. According to the preliminary calculation, in addition to those relatives who will stay in Youbeiping with them, there should be at least more than 20,000 people who will move to Yizhou. Twenty thousand, how many trips does your fleet have to transport? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Twenty thousand? If they're willing to squeeze it, four trips will be about the same, a great five. According to the fact that it takes 20 days for a round trip, three months is enough. As for the corresponding degree of food and clothing...... It's not me boasting, Zitai, you just get another 40,000 or 50,000 people to come to Yizhou, and I can arrange it for you here. ”

Tian Chou didn't speak. After all, he had been in Yizhou for a while, and he had carefully examined the production situation in Yizhou, so he knew that the figure Lu Ren said was actually very polite. According to his calculations, the current Yizhou reserves can actually eat 100,000, otherwise Tian Chou would not dare to ask Lu Ren to fund himself.

"In that case, I won't be wordy below. It's just that I hope that Lu Servant can dispatch grain and grass ships as soon as possible, after all, if it passes a day earlier, we can rescue some more scattered displaced people. ”

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but it's really inconvenient at this time." Now it is almost the middle of winter, the river and the sea are dominated by northwest winds, and the fleet departs from Yizhou, and the ships are heading north because of the headwind, and it is really not easy to sail. If in the past, we were all hit by the southeast wind after the spring and then from Yizhou straight up to the right Beiping. However, I think Brother Zitai is steady, and now that he can talk to me here, he must have been fully prepared before leaving, and there will be no problem with your Xu Wushanwu in a few months, right? ”

Tian Chou nodded. If those things were not arranged, how could Tian Chou dare to run to Yizhou with the fleet so easily?

Lu Ren continued: "So in the past few months, I have bothered Zitai to live in Yizhou for a while. Moreover, so many people are about to come to Yizhou, Zitai and I should also plan a good place for these people to live, so as not to have any conflicts with the existing residents of Yizhou at that time. ”

"That's right! In the next place, it is all sent by land servants! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

After separating from Tian Chou, Lu Ren walked on the way home, and while walking, Lu Ren was also paying attention to his surroundings.

The first people to come to Yizhou were a group of Mi clansmen, but they just built ordinary small villages. Later, Gao Shun and Chen Gong came to Yizhou, and of course these two would not be satisfied with such an ordinary village, so under their operation, they chose a location to start building the city.

I have to say that the vision of these two people is actually quite good, the site chosen to build the small city itself is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the location is on the mountainside, so in the early days, it was only necessary to build a wall that was not too long at the gap, and the small river as a water source passed through the city, and part of it flowed into the moat in front of the city wall. On the whole, the amount of work of these projects is not large, and the geographical environment is used to the greatest extent.

Not long after entering the city, Lu Ren saw the largest courtyard in the city, and when he looked up again, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "When I arrived, that is my home." Family? What is home...... Is this my home? Since Cao Ying fled, I never seemed to have my real home, and even after living here, I didn't long before I left for Jingzhou.

"Well, this is my home...... Now I have a home here in Yizhou, but in the world where I originally lived, this beautiful and rich land, when will I really go home?

“…… I'm going to it! What's wrong with me today? Could it be that after talking nonsense with Tian Chou for so much, Tian Chou hooked out all the angry plots in my heart? Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's go home early, there are a lot of people at home waiting for me! And I don't have to rock in the cabin today, and of course I sleep on a stable bed. By the way, call Ah Xiu and Mi Zhen to accompany me double/fly? Khan one, after all, I'm a slut, haha......" (To be continued.) )
