"Sister Xiu, I inquired, there are two families in this small village who only moved here half a month ago, and the accent of Henan accent is a little heavy when they speak......

Lu Lan's words made a cold light flash in Minchan's eyes, but before she could react, Lu Ren, who was lying on her lap, picked up the words, but didn't even move his eyelids when he spoke: "Don't move them...... If I really wanted to touch them, they would have died a long time ago. But the problem is that it doesn't do me any good to move them, and keeping them can help me stabilize Lao Cao. ”

Minchan and Lu Lan are both smart women in ice and snow, after listening to Lu Ren's words, their eyes rolled a few times to understand the meaning of Lu Ren's words, and they each nodded after looking at each other again.

Seeing that Lu Ren was still with his eyes closed, he smiled and said, "Since I have shown up in Jingzhou, I have already made preparations." Don't worry, Lao Cao knows that I am not such a good person to kill, so I will definitely not act rashly. And I think in Lao Cao's opinion, I am just a child who ran away from home in a fit of anger after complaining with his parents, and I don't have any deep hatred with him, he still expects to let me die for him after I am caught one day.

"Well, therefore, he is neither willing nor afraid to do anything to persecute me, for he is afraid that if he really pushes me into a hurry, he will go to the command of the prince to seek support, and then he will feel quite a headache. I am doing business and making money like I am now, but I am not out of business, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to ask for it...... Cao Cao is now setting out to eradicate the roots of the Yuan clan in Hebei, and he does not want to cause anything in the south. If he really wants to deal with me, at least after he has secured his territory in the north. ”

Minchan said: "That's the way it is, but you'd better be careful." ”

Lu Ren said: "I also deliberately kept them, otherwise where would they still be alive now?" In many cases, leaving a threatening enemy by your side will make you more vigilant and sober. If you blindly let yourself be comfortable, you will be unprepared and easy to be taken advantage of. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ren smiled self-deprecatingly. Because this theory is based on a certain martial arts novel by Wen Ruian, but now he uses it.

After a pause, Lu Ren continued: "Today is the second day of the fifth month, right?" Mi Zhen and I made an appointment to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together, but I couldn't contact her in the past two days, judging from the range of the sound pendant on her body within a radius of 200 miles, she may have gone to Xinye to see his eldest brother Mi Zhu first. The two of you are also ready to prepare, and after she arrives here and discusses things with me, you will also follow me around Jingzhou. ”

Minchan said: "Go to Jingzhou to go around? What do you want to do? ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "I've been living in Jingzhou for several months, and I've got the store and residence all right, so of course I have to visit the celebrities here in Jingxiang." Not just to visit, but also to find people who I can use in the future. ”

Minchan was surprised: "Do you want to find a virtuous talent in the land of Jingchu and then send it to Yizhou for your own use?" It's not me pouring cold water on you. Although I don't know much about these things, I do know that if you want to recruit talents, fame and fortune are essential. It naturally makes sense that this fame is ranked in front of Lilu, although you can get it out of Lilu, but if you don't have fame, why should you recruit talents? There are many talented people who have real talent and real learning, and they can't be smashed with money alone. ”

"You don't have to worry about this." Lu Ren smiled, and suddenly threw out a Peking Opera tone: "Mountain people have their own clever plans!" ”

“…… What!! ”

Lu Ren suddenly stretched out his hand, touched Minchan's face lightly, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't talk about that." I kept the few families in the village. I just want Lao Cao to know what kind of free life I have here, but you also know what kind of temper Wen Ji is, and she really can't cooperate with me in some things. So...... Ah Xiu, let's have fun, shall we? ”

Minchan was dumbfounded at the time. And Lu Lan coughed hard twice to indicate her existence. Seeing that Lu Ren's claws began to slash towards Minchan's towering twin peaks after touching Minchan's cheeks, Minchan slapped Lu Ren's paws aside with an angry and funny slap.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the eighth year of Jian'an, the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Every household in the village is filled with the joy of the festive season. But in the small village's fine house, Mi Zhen, who had just come here, had a cold face, and stared at Lu Ren angrily with a pair of apricot eyes. The air was also filled with a strong smell of gunpowder because of Mi Zhen's anger.

Seeing this, Lu Ren smiled and said nothing, picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass of wine for Mi Zhen, and then gently handed it to Mi Zhen and said, "What's wrong with our eldest lady of the Mi family, did she eat saltpeter or sulfur?" It's so hot, be careful not to ignite it for a while. Come on, this is a newly brewed beer recently, you drink it to put out the fire. ”

Mi Zhen snatched it up, poured it without saying a word, poured it with her head up, and after pouring a few mouthfuls, she also raised her sleeves to wipe her mouth indiscriminately when she ventilated halfway, and her words and deeds completely lacked the demeanor that a rich daughter should have. In the blink of an eye, the glass of wine was empty, Mi Zhen angrily slammed the bamboo cup on the table, snorted and turned her head to ignore Lu Ren.

Lu Ren smiled: "What are you angry about?" I couldn't contact you two days ago, and I thought you went to Xinye to see your eldest brother Mi Zizhong, but now I know that you deliberately turned off the sound pendant and ignored me. Are you complaining that I haven't married you until now? Then let me tell you, a few days ago, I asked Uncle Liu Huang to tell Brother Ling Zizhong about this on my behalf......"

Mi Zhen, who had been angry for a long time, finally opened her mouth at this time: "Who is angry with you for this?" How many years have the relationship between you and me been unclear before, and I haven't come over like this? Today, you and I are already dependent on each other in Yizhou, and you can't do anything without me if you want to do something, am I still afraid that you won't be able to run away? Besides, Miss Ben was born with a beautiful face and a net worth so rich, if you really dare to provoke me, don't say who I want to marry, even if Miss Ben wants to recruit a man, there will be a lot of people fighting for the scalp! Then again, it's better for me to hire an obedient husband than to be so angry with you! ”

Lu Ren knew that Mi Zhen was angry, and laughed and quipped for a while: "Yes, yes, you are seven years younger than me, and you are already a twenty-six-year-old girl this year, and it will really be too late to recruit a husband......

"I'll fuck your sister!"

Before Lu Ren's words were finished, the bamboo cup in Mi Zhen's hand in anger had already come out of his hand and flew straight towards Lu Ren. Fortunately, after so many years of getting along, Lu Ren has become accustomed to Mi Zhen's habit of throwing things and smashing people when he is angry, so he was prepared when Mi Zhen raised his arm, and when the bamboo cup flew over, he turned slightly sideways and avoided it.

Looking at Mi Zhen at this moment, her pretty face was so angry that she was about to change, and pointed at Lu Ren and said indignantly: "Why didn't you die when your yang life was about to end?" I'm so worried that you're really dead! But a fellow junior sister Shirley came out and brought the fairy medicine to renew your life! I really don't know if I did something wrong to let me know you as a person, and I followed you by mistake, and I will be so angry with you every once in a while! ”

Lu Ren picked up the bamboo cup and put it back on the table, shook his head at Mi Zhen a little helplessly and smiled: "I said Miss Mi, you lost your temper at me as soon as you came here today, but I still don't know what you are doing with such a big temper." Why are you angry about something, you have to say it and let me know what's going on, okay? Otherwise, I don't know where I offended you. ”

Mi Zhen snorted angrily, snatched a bottle of new wine on the table, opened it and poured it violently, and poured half a bottle in one breath before he said angrily to Lu Ren: "Are you embarrassed to say?" Aren't you able to communicate with Shirley Chisato? Then let me ask you, what is the most urgent and lacking in Yizhou now? ”

Lu Ren seemed to understand the origin of Mi Zhen's anger at this time, smiled and poured himself a glass of beer full of foam, and responded unhurriedly: "Copper and iron utensils, silk and linen fabrics, in addition, a large number of medicinal materials and various groceries are needed. ”

Mi Zhen asked again: "It seems that you are very clear, so what is the most important thing we lack?" ”

Lu Ren smiled again: "The most important thing is, of course, food." ”

This is a big truth, Yizhou is a treasure island, and in modern times, it is common for major crops such as rice to be harvested three times in one season. Shirley's descendant Lu Ren was in charge of the development of Yizhou, and brought all kinds of agricultural materials and technologies more complete than Lu Ren, although there were many productivity constraints, but there was no problem at all with rice in one crop. Let's put it this way, although the population base of the Yizhou region under Lu Ren's current control is only 15,000 or 6,000, the stored grain is enough for 50,000 people to eat for more than three years, and it is the kind that can be eaten three times a day plus supper.

Mi Zhen saw Lu Ren's unangry appearance, and just wanted to open her mouth to roar in anger, but Lu Ren had already covered her mouth one step ahead of her, and said with a smile: "Don't yell around, this is Jingzhou, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Mi Zhen shook off Lu Ren's hand, grabbed Lu Ren's collar with a backhand, and gritted her teeth and said, "Since you know all about these things, then I have to ask you!" Lu Yihao, Lu Yihao, I really don't know what you're thinking now! Finally, our family moved to Yizhou, but you want to run back to the Central Plains to say what you want to plan for the future.

"Okay, if you want to do something big, I'll follow you, in the past few or two years, I have supervised the ship and led the team, going back and forth to Yizhou, Jingxiang, and Jiangdong, and I really calculated that I stayed on the ship more than I stayed on the ground. These are actually nothing, I can watch the small towns in Yizhou built by our Lu and Mi clans slowly prosper, I am even tired and willing.

"But I really don't understand, I finally brought a large number of local products from Yizhou this time, you don't buy the things that are in short supply here in Jingzhou, but you have to buy 30,000 pieces of grain from the Cai family in Jingzhou!" 10,000 catties of high-quality white sugar, do you think you can make it if you say it!?
