"In fact, from a practical point of view, Brunei is blocked by the sea, the migration of the population is not easy, and the local aborigines have not yet been civilized, even if the children of the Shi family want to do something to me, it is simply impossible to raise the population for decades to increase the army, which is why I can really throw the Shi family to Brunei with peace of mind......

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled again: "Just imagine, decades!" When he has some strength to fight against me, I am afraid that the entire surrounding area of the Spice Islands has already been firmly controlled by me, and he will not be able to make any waves. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And if the scholar family maintains a business relationship with me, the economy will be controlled by me, and he is afraid of me, and I am not afraid. Ziyang, I've said so much, you should be relieved, right? Of course, if the children of the Shi family are engaged in the development of Brunei An'an, can't we also have a good supply depot and trading point for our future ocean trade? ”

Liu Ye gave up his hand again, but secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that you have reached this point, and I am still worried about it?

Lu Ren looked up at the sky at this time, as if he was talking to himself: "Actually, with Brunei as the center, it is also a good thing to let Shixie comprehensively spread the cultural education of my Han Dynasty...... All along, the people here have taught practical and material things, but there is not much real cultural invasion, and it is difficult for the aborigines of the Spice Islands to be sinicized by us. Now that there is a child of Shixie, an old pedant, who goes there to engage in cultural education, I believe that there will be a good assimilation effect. ”

These words made Liu Ye a little incomprehensible, and he couldn't understand what Lu Ren meant. When Lu Ren lowered his head, he saw Liu Riye's blank face, and laughed: "Ziyang, you don't have to care so much. Let's have a few drinks! ”

Two months later, the wharf in Guangzhou was bustling, a fleet of more than 30 large, medium and small ships of all kinds was making final preparations before the voyage, and on the main stage, who else sat opposite each other and toasted each other, except Lu Ren and Shi Xie?

However, he said that after the negotiation that day, as soon as Shi Xie returned to the pavilion, he immediately gathered some elders and principals of the Shi family, and began to discuss whether to accept Lu Ren's conditions on the chart given by Lu Ren.

In fact, anyone with a little bit of brains can see that Lu Ren's ability to offer such conditions can really be described as "benevolence and righteousness", if you refuse or still want to bargain, it will be too self-sufficient. If Lu Ren is really provoked, it may be a trivial matter to not get anything, and it will be troublesome for Lu Ren to use troops against the Shi family again in anger.

So three days later, Shi Xie replied to Lu Ren, saying that he was willing to accept Lu Ren's conditions, and the only request was to confirm the fleet that could carry the children of the Shi family, because Shi Xie's first batch planned to go over with the entire 3,000 people. This is a voyage across the ocean, not across a lake or a river, and 3,000 people are floating like this on the sea, and there is not a little thing to consider.

And for these "soil buns" of the Shi family, although they have more or less heard of the shipping strength in Lu Ren's hands, but the fleet that can carry so many people across the ocean is still a little incredible to them. In other words, this request of the scholar family is also for the sake of their own safety.

Hearing Shi Xie's cautious request, Lu Ren just smiled casually to show his understanding, on the other hand, Lu Ren also wanted to show off in front of Shi Xie, so that it could also increase some of Shi Xie's confidence in letting the children of the Shi family sail overseas. And if you really want to talk about it, there are ships in Guangzhou that can transport these 3,000 people now, but considering some other aspects, Lu Ren still decided to send some more ships over in case of emergency, so he took a telegram and went to Yizhou and asked Zhen Mi to transfer the ships over.

In addition, Lu Ren also specially transferred Chen Nan's younger brother, Chen Guang, who was Gan Ning's deputy during the voyage and is now one of the main leaders of the Yizhou offshore trade fleet, to take charge of the relocation of the Shi family. Chen Guang of the entire Spice Islands has not known how many times he has made over the years, and he has a lot of sailing experience. In addition, Chen Guang also had very good experience in naval warfare, and Lu Ren was transferred to him because of this, in order to prevent some radical children of the Shi family from changing at sea.

On the other hand, for the people and property brought by the children of the Shi family, Lu Ren means that you can bring as much as you want, and I don't want you to have a penny. Lu Ren, who has property or something, is pretending to be generous, saying that he can't look down on it. As for the people of the Shi family, Lu Ren also considered that it was not possible for the Shi family to go to Brunei to engage in development without some people, so this was the case.

In short, after everything was in order, when the people of Shi Xie's family saw the large-scale fleet docked at the Hong Kong dock, they were all dumbfounded without exception, and they had a new understanding of Lu Ren's strength in their hearts. People such as Shi Xie, who have always advocated the full acceptance of Lu Ren's conditions, are certainly quite satisfied with their correct choice in their hearts.

And those who are relatively young and radical, who have advocated confronting Lu Ren to the end or asking for more conditions, are secretly glad that they did not provoke Mao Lu Ren. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the scene in front of them, these people felt as if Lu Ren had not used his real strength to attack Jiaozhou, and if he really used his real strength army to press him over...... These people really don't dare to think about it.

At this moment, Lu Ren and Shi Xie were pushing cups and changing lamps at the main stage, and they were quite interested. Lu Ren was mainly explaining the main political direction after arriving in Brunei to Shi Xie and the children of the taxi family who were about to be sent to Brunei. In fact, to put it simply, Lu Ren asked Shixie to pay attention to maintaining a good commercial circulation capacity while attaching importance to agricultural development, and at the same time strengthening the influence of Han culture on the Spice Islands. In terms of agriculture and culture, it is better to say that Lu Renzhi was more worried that Shi Xie, an old rotten Confucian, would despise commercial circulation and ignore the development of commerce. However, the answer given by Shi Xie was quite surprising to Lu Ren, that is, Shi Xie also attaches more importance to business development.

In fact, the Jiaozhou scholars were so wealthy, in addition to their own control and exploitation of the agricultural industry of the people in the Jiaozhou area, the biggest source of wealth was the trade with the surrounding Nanban, Sichuan and other regions, and the south and far along to modern Vietnam and Laos.

In real comparison, the Shi family was earlier than Lu Ren to build a family with business profits, but he didn't have ulterior motives like Lu Ren, and the business business didn't play so big. Lu Ren saw sweat on his forehead after learning this, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Shixie would be so generous, and he was confident that he could send a tribute equivalent to it every year, and the various spices and rare fruits in the tribute were not products of Chinese mainland at that time, and the trouble for a long time was related to the Shi family's business.

Since Shi Xie also understands the benefits of heavy business, the next words are much easier to say, and Lu Ren will focus on the help that will be provided to the Shi family to build Brunei. In fact, Lu Ren didn't bother to ask about what kind of political form the children of the Shi family would adopt after arriving in Brunei, as long as the Shi family knew how to use Brunei's products to maintain trade relations with him. Maybe the scholars will become the local emperor in Brunei, but so what? Wasn't the Shi family the same when they were in Jiaozhou, just like the Emperor Tu?

There is always a time when the conversation is over, and the final preparations of the fleet have been completed. Lu Ren and Shi Xie personally sent the children of the Shi family on the ship at the dock, and when the fleet set sail and anchored one by one, the fleet, which only had the significance of the Chinese people's overseas colonization, finally sailed out of the port...... At least that's what Lu Ren thinks.

————————————————————

After Lu Ren sent Shixie away, he returned to the government and personally took charge of some development matters in Guangzhou.

Deng Ai was also called over, and after gathering a group of middle-level personnel for discussion, Lu Ren decided not to make much change in Guangzhou's current goals, and the overall situation was to focus on agriculture and supplemented by business, and it was imperative to build Guangzhou into a metropolis. You must know that the current Guangzhou is not only connected to the Guiyang line, but also a central point with close ties with Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Nanyang after the negotiations with Shixie are reached.

In addition, Lu Ren has two things to do, the first is to use Han? The identity of Yizhou pastor and general Fuyi was expressed in the Han court, saying that he had discovered a new state of Brunei overseas, so he "easily" included Brunei in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and he would "by the way" and receive the Brunei pastoral...... Of course, Lu Ren also had to prepare a large number of gifts to send to Xuchang, and secretly Lu Ren also wrote a letter to Xun Yu, asking Xun Yu to help more in this matter.

Lu Ren is more familiar with Xun Yu's idea of reviving the prestige of the Han Dynasty in his heart, and now that there is such a good thing to enhance the prestige of the Han Dynasty again, Xun Yu will definitely help him vigorously. As for this diplomatic mission, Lu Ren made an exception to use Gao Yan, the guest of the curtain who was sent by Shixie to negotiate peace last time, and then was poached by Lu Ren, after all, Gao Yan's diplomatic ability once again was very good, at least one thing is certain, that is, Gao Yan must be an excellent debater.

Another thing is that Lu Ren opened a real Zhaoxian Hotel in Guangzhou, and he wants to use this as a base to excavate and absorb the buried talents in Jiaozhou. However, unlike ordinary hotels, even the talents recruited have to receive the second administrative education of the Shizi School opened by Lu Ren.

Lu Ren's administrative style was different from that of the late Han Dynasty. The "filial piety and honesty system" in the late Han Dynasty has long been rotten, and the so-called talents that have been sorted out are not to be mentioned. And Lao Cao's "meritocracy" is practical and frivolous, and Lu Ren must certainly learn from it.

Some of the changes here in Lu Ren are that in addition to not needing those old-fashioned privileged scholars, there is also a minimum point, that is, "Shinong, industrialist, and industrialist" can no longer be divided into classes, but treat everyone equally. Maybe this is a bit difficult, but driven by enough interests, there are not a few Jiaozhou scholars who are willing to receive a second education and then embark on a career in official careers, after all, Lu Ren knows that most of the people he can absorb will only be some poor scholars, that is, the later "Shu landlord class"...... (To be continued.) )
