Xun Yu Xun Wenruo's name, how could Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Gan Ning not have heard of it? If you really want to talk about it, Xun Yu's name is much bigger than Lu Rendu. It can be said that Lu Ren is relatively famous now, and he can be called a famous person for a while, but if Lu Ren's fame is compared with Xun Yu, Lu Ren is really not good enough.

Or it can be said that Lu Ren's fame mainly comes from those homeless people and ordinary people, who belong to the grassroots romantic figures, but under the social environment at that time, the middle and upper classes of the scholar class in the society are actually not very popular with Lu Ren; And what about Xun Yu? Xun Yu is from a famous family, and has a very good reputation among those scholars, belonging to the famous people who are rooted in the Miao Red and the Eight Classics, and under the social background of the scholar class, where can Lu Ren's reputation be compared to Xun Yu?

Of course, these have nothing to do with what Lu Ren and the others are talking about at the moment, and Gan Ning and the others don't understand what Lu Ren means by suddenly mentioning Xun Yu at this time. And Lu Ren smiled and explained to Gan Ning and the three of them:

"When I was an official in Xu Du...... No, it should be said that I have been working with Xun Wenruo long before Lao Cao Yingfeng was the Son of Heaven, so I know Xun Wenruo's personality very well.

"Xun Wenruo is a person, and he is definitely worthy of his name. His biggest dream was to revive the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and he has been doing so without sparing no effort. So I dare to say that as long as it is something that helps to revive the prestige of the Han Dynasty, maybe Lao Cao will be suspicious and hesitant, but Xun Wenruo will definitely try his best to promote it. When the time comes, if he helps me speak, I'm afraid it won't work? ”

Xu Shu and the three of them made eye contact, and finally nodded slowly. Xun Yu's status in Cao Ying is not only known to people in Cao Ying. And the most important thing is that they can all see that Lu Ren is not lying, at least what Lu Ren says now has considerable credibility.

With Lu Ren's explanation, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Gan Ning couldn't help but begin to face up to the potential development potential of Lu Ren Group Company in their hearts, and they were also thinking about whether to go to Lu Ren to give it a try. And in the end, the three of them came to the conclusion that Lu Ren was worth trying.

Actually, it's no wonder. These three are all very capable, and they all want to be a good person. It's just that people often have this choice, that is, to go to those companies that have already become a type, or to go to those companies that are just starting out? The former is relatively stable, but because it has long been formed, it is generally difficult to have opportunities after the past; Although there are many opportunities for the latter, the robustness is not enough.

If it is a modern person, most people will generally choose the former; But Xu Shu and the three of them are in a troubled world, and the mentality of wanting to seize the opportunity and then go out of the crowd is more prosperous. And Lu Ren is cunning here, that is, he has drawn a very delicious cake for them. and vaguely showed that even if he didn't succeed, he could be peaceful. In this case, how could Xu Shu and the three of them not be moved? Especially once Lu Ren's first thing really happened, their identity is equivalent to the founding hero, how attractive is such a status?

Of course, Lu Ren also knew that he couldn't talk too much now, but had to put them all on his chariot step by step, so Lu Ren took the method of "hiring at a high price" first, so that they could taste the sweetness first. So Lu Ren's words changed, and he suddenly asked Gan Ning, "Brother Xingba." This time, I hired you to escort my fleet, but I wonder if you are interested in taking on other jobs after you arrive in Yizhou? ”

Gan Ning was interested at that time: "How do you say this?" ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "That's the case, my small city in Yizhou doesn't even have a population of 20,000 now. This kind of field work, all aspects of manpower are relatively tight, the fleet is only now, and many things that want to do are really not manpower to do. Since it is rare to meet Brother Xingba this time. I dared to ask Brother Xingba to lead the water athletes to help me do something. ”

"Hmm...... Lu Servant might as well talk about it. ”

Lu Ren smiled sinisterly in his heart, and then turned out a scroll of drawings and spread it out in front of the three of them.

This is a map of the entire Yizhou Island, which is equivalent to the provincial map of later generations. It also includes the Penghu Islands in the west, the Diaoyu Islands in the northeast, the Orchid Island in the southeast, and Yonaguni Island in the east. However, it should be made clear that this map is not a modern map, but a map in the format of the Han Dynasty that Lu Ren drew by himself according to the modern map. Then again, if you really take a modern map out at this time, how many people will be scared to death?

It's just that even so, Gan Ning and the three of them were dumbfounded. You know, in those days, it was no joke to take out such a map. Moreover, Yizhou was the place that the people of the Central Plains at that time called a foreign land, and they knew very little about it, and Lu Ren was able to come up with such a map, which was enough for the three of them to see that Lu Ren's plan for Yizhou had reached a very considerable point.

Looking at Lu Ren again, he pointed to the Penghu Islands west of Yizhou and asked Gan Ning: "Brother Xingba has been on the Yangtze River for many years, and I have no doubt that he is proficient in water, but I don't know how much Brother Xingba knows about HNA?" ”

Gan Ning immediately got stuck. There is a big gap between river transportation and sea transportation, and Gan Ning has also been to several coastal areas, and how many sea voyages have some understanding, so he really dare not say that he can be as majestic at sea as he is in the Yangtze River. However, Gan Ning's personality has always been rough but practical, so he didn't brag to Lu Ren about anything, but told the truth.

On the other hand, Lu Ren laughed again, to be honest, Lu Ren was also afraid that Gan Ning would brag without knowing what to do, since Gan Ning told the truth, Lu Ren put his mind at ease, so he used his finger to draw a few circles on the Penghu Islands and said: "If Brother Xingba is interested, after arriving in Yizhou, help me go to these small islands to see the situation."

"One is that when I first discovered these small islands, I couldn't send anyone to explore them because I didn't have anyone around; Second, this is not far from the sea distance of my small city of Yizhou, and it is more convenient to return to the small city if there is something to do, and Brother Xingba can take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the affairs of Hainan Airlines. I don't know what Brother Xingba wants?

Gan Ning frowned and thought carefully for a while, and finally nodded to Lu Ren, expressing his willingness to take on this errand.

Lu Ren immediately added: "Since Brother Xingba has agreed, there is one more thing I have to say." This sea voyage is different from the river voyage, and the ships required are also very different. Brother Xingba, don't use these three river boats you brought with you when the time comes, there are ready-made good boats for you in Yizhou Town. ”

Just like a soldier likes a good gun, and a chef likes good kitchenware, Gan Ning, a person who has been floating on water all year round, has a great interest in good boats, so when he heard this, Gan Ning immediately became energetic and asked urgently: "Really?" But I don't know what kind of ship it is? ”

Lu Ren casually pointed to the cabin he was in now, and said with a smile: "What does Brother Xingba think of this Seahorse?" ”

Gan Ning immediately gave a thumbs up: "Good boat!" A rare good ship! ”

It's a bit of nonsense, the Seahorse was made by Lu Ren and Shirley with reference to the ship structure in the mid-sixteenth century, and I don't know how many times more advanced than those ships in the Han Dynasty, can it be a good ship? In this matter, Lu Ren's biggest regret was that he could not find the information about the ships used by Zheng He when he went to the West, so he had to use European ship types.

To use a simple analogy, this Seamaster is a bit like something out of Pirates of the Caribbean III...... Black pearls? No, the Black Pearl actually sucks, and Lu Ren's Seahorse is more like the flagship in the official fleet that was blasted by the Black Pearl and the flying Dutchman. It's not a nice thing to say, but I have to admit that the ship is more stylish.

At this time, Gan Ning immediately realized something after expressing his appreciation for the Seahorse, and hesitated: "Listen to the meaning of Lu Fu's words...... Could it be that Lu Servant is preparing to hand over this Seahorse to the next place? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "This Seahorse Ah Zhen has been modified in many places according to her own preferences, but it is her heart's meat, if she wants her to let this ship out, it is better to give her a knife." And over the years, I owe her too much, and I'm embarrassed to open this mouth. ”

Gan Ning was suddenly disappointed, shook his head and sighed again and again, but he didn't expect Lu Ren to just sell it, and suddenly there was a reversal: "But this Seahorse is just a trial ship, after the launch of the ship, my Yizhou dockyard can continue to build based on this, and there are five such ships now." Is Brother Xingba interested in driving these five ships to the sea to have fun? ”

There are more than 300 people in the shipyard of Yizhou Town, and with the population base of Yizhou Town is less than 20,000 at present, it already has a considerable proportion of labor, and it also concentrates the most elite craftsmen among the current Lu and Mi clans. Because Lu Ren knows that with the current situation, other things may be able to be slowed down, but this aspect cannot be slowed down, and no matter how big the investment is, it is necessary.

It has been about a year and a half since the Seahorse was built, and the shipyard has continued to build since it was launched, and only five ships have been released in more than a year. Originally, Lu Ren planned to add EXP to the craftsmen, and the other was to renew Mi Zhen's fleet at about the same time. But now Gan Ning's "semi-joined", these five reserve ships should also be handed over to Gan Ning for use.

Strictly speaking, Lu Ren's current behavior is a bit like the royal families of Portugal and Spain in the early days of the Age of Discovery, that is, they will pay for those adventurers to go on expeditions. When the expeditions of the explorers were successful, the royal families who paid for them naturally had the goal of expanding and plundering outward. And does Lu Ren want to expand and plunder? The answer is yes, and you have to think about it.

But for now, these can be put aside for the time being, just say that when Gan Ning heard Lu Ren say that there were five such good ships that could be handed over to him to use, Gan Ning's response was full of eagerness and excitement:

"Yes, of course!" (To be continued.) )
