Chapter 171: Dereliction of duty
After hearing Lu Ren's idea of building an orphanage, Xun Yu immediately fell into contemplation under the rapid turn of his mind, and after a long time, Xun Yu had a plan in his heart, and then smiled at Lu Ren and said: "Yihao, how can you ignore my Xun clan with such righteous deeds?" Besides, you have been an official for several years, and you have never bought any property, and you will definitely not be able to afford to build it. I think so, don't touch the vacant land you choose, otherwise it will be easy to provoke criticism and say that you are suspected of being a fake public servant. ”
Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly defended: "Hey, it's wrong, I mean ......"
His original intention was to first "second" his fortune to the government, and then build a righteous house in the name of the government. Because Lu Ren knew Cao Cao's personality, if this kind of fame only went into his own pocket, he couldn't tell what Cao Cao would think when he looked back. Besides, Lu Ren will "rise in the day" in a few years, it doesn't matter if he wants these fames or not, it is better to simply push the boat down the river in a "sycophant" style, and push all these fame to Cao Cao, and his own life can be much better in retrospect, right? There are some things that cannot be fought with Cao Cao.
But before the words could be spoken, Xun Yu interrupted Lu Ren's words with a smile and waved his hand: "You, you are always like this, although there is a good idea, you are not thoughtful!" I'll help you with that. In fact, my Xun clan has a few cottages in Xudu City, and I ordered my clan to pack up one and donate it to the children's house, so that I can save the capital of building land and trees. Then you and I will each take out a part of the money every month to feed the orphans and children, and pay the women who should be Mulai to take care of these orphans and children, and I think you and I will be able to afford it completely, and maybe we will have more money to prepare for other things. ”
Lu Ren frowned tightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp fiercely, and said secretly in his heart: "Joint venture? The method is good, but why do I always feel that Xun Yu's mentality of wanting to restore Xun's old reputation is too anxious? When Cao Cao came back to trouble you, didn't he even drag me into the water...... Oops, forget it! Anyway, I will be able to go back in more than three years, and your Xun clan will not be able to escape the fate of Cao Cao first helping and then fighting, and when you fight, I don't know where He Wan'er is at ease!
"If it's not about us, let's hang it high, and now we can do what is in front of us! Besides, it would be nice if you could help me save some money! I pursue fancy clothes and food, and I don't dare to be a corrupt official under Lao Cao's hands. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren immediately left the table to give a salute, and he didn't bother to say anything superfluous.
The matter is basically settled at this point, and the rest of the things don't need to be handled by these two personally, otherwise what will Lu Ren's servants and Xun's family members do? Seeing that it was not early, Lu Ren was ready to go home to rest. However, when he was leaving, he remembered that he still had a plan to say it because he had been talking about Yishe and couldn't say it, so he turned around in front of the hall door and said to Xun Yu: "Xun Gong, can you find someone in your Xun clan who can teach the scriptures?" ”
"......" Xun Yu's face was a little ugly when he heard this. It is no wonder that the Yingchuan Academy of the Xun family is famous all over the world, and the Xun family is also a typical scholarly family. Now, although the well-known Confucians of the previous generation are basically hanging up, if you just want to find some ordinary teaching gentlemen, Xun's family can really catch a lot of them.
Lu Ren also realized that he had said the wrong thing, took a few selfies and then said to Xun Yu with an apologetic smile: "Xun Gong, if the matter of raising the young can be accomplished, there will definitely be no fewer wandering orphans and children." And so many children...... Don't leave it untaught! Xun Gong can find someone to teach and teach, and as for the children's pen and ink books or the salary of the teacher, I will pay for it. ”
Xun Yu Zaleng, Xun Yu really didn't expect these things just now. Now that he heard Lu Ren mention it, Xun Yu didn't have time to think about it, so he could only nod to Lu Ren. After Lu Ren left, Xun Yu gradually sorted out his chaotic brain just now. The influence of Yingchuan Academy has actually existed in name only, and to put it mildly, the current academy does not even have a source of students for the scholar class.
If you only want to write an article on Yingchuan Academy to restore the reputation of the Xun family, it is actually unrealistic. But if you can start with these orphans now, then in the future, these children will all be disciples of the Xun family, if you successfully cultivate a few poor scholars who have entered the court, then the reputation of the Xun family will ......
Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but look at the door of the hall where Lu Ren left, and muttered in his heart: "This Lu Ren ...... Is he really acting with a pure heart, or has he been intentionally helping my Xun family? This person...... It seems that he is always giggling and unorthodox, and he is often rude in front of others, as if he is no different from a silly boy, but when he really does things, he can always be unexpected and meaningful. And it seems that he has not thought about himself at all in his actions today, and he has always been a person with the heart of retiring after success and leisure...... Is he really stupid or is he pretending to be stupid? Alas, I can't see through him! ”
At this moment, Lu Ren just turned over and got on the horse, stretched a long lazy waist on the horse, recalled Xun Yu's appearance just now, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Xun Wangzuo is probably thinking about some messy things at this time, right?" Alas, why be so tired? But if you're a big person, it's normal to think messy. ”
He yawned loudly and then said in his heart: "The pure ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid, you come to see me with such a heavy utilitarian heart, I can't help it, right?" Again, I just want to make my heart feel a little better and try not to leave any regrets for my 'Three Kingdoms Journey'. ”
Back at Fudi, Cheng, Xin, and Lan immediately greeted them:
"Boss, those food and clothes have been sent to everyone, but honestly they won't last long......"
Lu Ren waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will help you when I say I'll help." Just go back and let them know and get ready to move. ”
————————————————————
In a blink of an eye, it was the first month of the second year of Jian'an, and at this time, it was in a certain Tuntian point in the east of Xuchang......
"Bastard,!! Where is the tun chief and Shui Cao Peng! ”
Lu Ren was so angry at this moment that he pointed to a large piece of farmland behind him, and scolded angrily at the two officials who stood up in front of him: "You guys are going to explain to me what's going on!?" ”
Shui Cao Peng said hesitantly: "Hui, Hui Lingjun, this is because the winter snow melts and the spring water soars......"
Lu Ren was so angry that he almost stepped forward and slapped the two of them a few times: "I'm embarrassed to say!?" What did I tell you two before I left here last winter? The result!? See for yourselves, what has become of this place! Don't take what I say seriously, do you!? You are derelict in your duties! It's dereliction of duty! I could have cut off both of you!! ”
Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng were so frightened that they knelt down: "The villain is guilty!" I hope you will forgive your sins! ”
What happened? It turns out that although the land where Lu Ren is now located is more fertile, the terrain is low, and there is a hilly area on the side. According to the information analyzed and sent by Shirley, Lu Ren instructed the tun chief and Shui Cao Peng to use the time before spring to quickly lead the tun people to dig a large pond in the middle of the hills, one can prevent the winter snow melt and the spring rainy season from flooding the farmland under the hills, and the other can also be used as a reservoir on high places to facilitate water diversion and irrigation in the future.
However, when Lu Ren was busy preparing for the construction of the Fuyu Yishe in Xuchang City, he suddenly received an emergency report of the flood in the east of the city. Hurriedly came over to take a look, and Lu Ren found that Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng not only did not dig the big pond to the standard of his budget, but also did not even dig the water distribution ditch, let alone reinforce the pond and dig another pond under the hills. As a result, the water level has risen sharply just because of the first thaw of winter snow, and the overflow of water from the pond has flooded the surrounding area, which is about 100 acres of farmland. If the spring rainy season arrives later, I am afraid that hundreds of acres of fertile farmland under the hills will be reclaimed in vain.
This happened because it was almost the New Year, and both Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng were in a hurry to celebrate the New Year, so they cut corners, so the reservoir was not excavated to meet the standards set by Lu Ren. Now that something happened, the two of them were scared, and they wanted to pack up and flee, but they didn't expect that they didn't even have time to escape, so Lu Ren had already rushed here.
Lu Ren didn't mention this anger in his heart at the moment, and secretly said in his heart: "What is this?" The tofu dregs project of the Han Dynasty? Does that mean I actually want to shoot a few to serve the police? "I was so confused that I forgot that the Han Dynasty only had spears but no muskets.
Pointing to the nearly 100 acres of flooded farmland, Lu Ren scolded the second official again: "What did I tell you at that time? It's better to dig more than half a foot! You are good, just the high pond on the mausoleum has been dug three zhang wide, and the depth is also one zhang less! Dig less in the pond, dig less, you just open an extra diversion canal, and the water will not happen in the river a mile away! Don't fucking tell me that there are not enough people, you have more than 1,000 people here at the beginning, and a lot of them have been transferred later, and the manpower is more than enough! If you want to say that you can't take care of it...... If I can't manage it, what use do I want you two to be officials!? ”
Lu Ren's last sentence was full of murderous intent, and Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty!" I hope you will spare your life!! ”
"Spare you!? Then you say to yourselves, I won't kill you two, but how do you want me to explain to the people here!? 100 acres of fertile land, not too much, but not too little! Let's not count the intensive cultivation of rice when I was in Juancheng and Puyang, even if you enter the mu of land in autumn according to your general planting method, how much grain will be there for these hundreds of acres of fertile land! Can a little eater like you afford to pay for it!? Okay, I don't care about this for now, hundreds of acres of farmland here were reclaimed by the people in the winter cold, just because of your dereliction of duty has become a pool, what do you use to compensate the people for their blood and sweat!? ”
Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled and they couldn't speak, they only knew that they were lying there and kowtowing blindly and begging for mercy. Lu Ren was really angry, and suddenly turned around and ordered the local Gong Cao and the soldiers: "Drag it down and behead it to show the public, and then choose another loyal and diligent person to take over the two of them!" ”
