"How dare you hope for fame?"

Xu Shu's words just made Lu Ren smile noncommittally.

Does Xu Shu have the ability? The answer is yes. When Zhuge Liang heard about Xu Shu's encounter in Wei in the late Three Kingdoms, he sighed that Xu Shu's talent was buried in Wei.

However, according to the relevant information on Lu Ren's hand, it can basically be analyzed that Xu Shu has not completed his studies and is at a low point in his life, so he needs someone to encourage him. In fact, don't talk about Xu Shu, even if anyone who has the ability, he will encounter the kind of low point in life that he has never encountered, Han Xin, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, wasn't he just a guy who ate and drank at the beginning? And Lu Ren is now playing a person who can give Xu Shu encouragement.

So, Lu Ren smiled and patted Xu Shu's shoulder and said, "I was born to be useful, I was just a beggar at the beginning, but after I did it with my heart, didn't I get such a high position as a scholar?" Yuan Zhi, in terms of governing the people, you may not be as good as me, who once won the fate of the immortal family, but you can abandon the little sword of the courage of the puppet and turn to study...... I think it's the invisible Yuan Rong Sword you are holding now, which is ten thousand times better than the small sword of the horseman. Fang is in troubled times, your Yuan Rong sword will eventually have its place, and you will be able to achieve a lifetime of achievements. ”

Xu Shu paused for a moment, and said silently: "Invisible Yuan Rong Sword ......" While muttering, Xu Shu's right hand slowly bent his fingers and clenched it, as if he was holding a sword in his hand.

Lu Ren smiled, and took out a thread-bound book from his sleeve like a trick and handed it to Xu Shu. Xu Shu glanced at it and froze: "This is ......"

"The Essence of the Thirteen Chapters of Sun Tzu". The original text of the book "Sun Tzu" is also too cumbersome, so I will summarize its essence here, and if Yuan Zhi does not dislike it, you can refer to it. However, my own knowledge is shallow, and if there are any deficiencies and deficiencies in this essence, Yuan Zhi should not laugh at it. ”

After saying this, Lu Ren had a smile on his face, but he wanted to slap himself twice in his heart. This so-called "The Essence of the Thirteen Chapters of Sun Tzu" is actually the "Art of War" that was circulated in later generations. Cao Mengde's Note. It is said that in the era when Lu Ren was supposed to be in. The original text of "The Art of War" has long been lost, and only a simplified version of "The Art of War" annotated by Cao Cao has survived. Lu Ren wanted to have a relationship with Xu Shu, and after thinking about it, the best gift might be a war book or something, so he dictated it to the chip himself, and then Cai Yan copied such a book. But fortunately, Lu Ren had been under Cao Cao for so long, and knew that Cao Cao hadn't written it at this time, maybe he hadn't been able to finish writing this "Sun Tzu's Note", so he Lu Ren took the lead and grabbed Cao Cao's copyright first...... If there was copyright in those years.

But then again, for a scholar like Xu Shu. The value of such a gift is far more meaningful than gold and silver treasures. At that moment, Xu Shu took it with trembling hands, opened it and read a few pages first, and immediately bowed to Lu Ren again, and said gratefully: "Lu Servant shoots so much, but how can he repay him?" There is a message in the letter of the mother that if you can get the Lu servant to shoot and not give up, you are willing to shoot the Lu servant as a brother, but there is a trend, and you will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire! ”

Lu Ren heard this, and his heart was shocked. The heart said that this old lady Xu is really interesting, could it be that she saw through my mind and wanted to win over Xu Shu to help herself? However, Lu Renren was sober and was not carried away by these kind words. He just smiled and helped Xu Shu up and said, "Yuan is straightforward, I'm just a free businessman now, where can I ask you to help me fight hard?" Yuanzhi, you should study here with peace of mind, and you will succeed in your studies. It is enough to find someone who can invest in another party and show their talents. Hey, speaking of which, I don't know if Yuan Zhi has a favorite candidate in his heart? ”

Xu Shu and Shi Tao glanced at each other. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "It's not a secret, although Shu and Guangyuan have not completed their studies, and they will not be able to complete their studies until two years later, but since they are in Jingxiang, they also have some intentions to belong to Liu Jingzhou and want to show their ambitions in the land of Jingxiang." ”

This was Lu Ren's expected answer, but Lu Ren still frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Liu Jingsheng Liu Jingzhou......" As he spoke, Lu Ren shook his head gently.

Seeing this, Xu Shu hesitated and asked, "Why did Lu Servant shake his head?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Well...... I can't talk about other people behind my back. But Yuan Zhi, since you asked, then it doesn't matter if I tell you, Liu Jingsheng and Liu Jingzhou are only afraid that they will disappoint you. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, after you become a teacher, it doesn't hurt to give it a try boldly. The road is to walk out on your own, even if you fall, it is also a kind of experience for yourself. ”

"The teachings of the land servant should be kept in mind."

Lu Ren looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, Yuanzhi, you better go back to the academy quickly." In addition, I have a lot of things to do in Xiangyang City, and I can't stay here for a few days. If you want to find me for something, go to my shop in Xiangyang City. ”

Xu Shu and Shi Tao saw that it was indeed too late, and they had no choice but to say goodbye to Lu Ren at the moment. Lu Ren sent the two out of the wine shop, looked at Xu Shu's back, and said secretly in his heart: "It's too early to win over Xu Shu, the first is that my preparations here have not been completed, and the second is that the current Xu Shu still needs corresponding experience to become the original first-class military advisor who even Cao Cao is afraid of.

"Anyway, it's only been eight years since Jian'an, and I should have at least four years to build a solid relationship with Xu Shu, and at the same time, I have to put a little more effort into his mother. Only in this way, when the time is right, can I let Xu Shu summon him to come, and he can use it...... Hey, I suddenly found that I'm getting a little more insidious. Hehe......"

While thinking about it, Lu Lan came behind Lu Ren after settling the account, leaned up and asked, "My lord, what are you thinking?" ”

Lu Ren came back to his senses and smiled: "I didn't think about anything...... I'm a little tired after tossing and turning. Let's go back."

Lu Lan glanced at Lu Ren a few times, and suddenly frowned and said, "My lord, what did you look like just now...... It's obscene! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ren has been at Mr. Shui Jing's place for a few days, going around here and there every day, and playing music and talking about current affairs with Mr. Shui Jing from time to time...... Of course, this is only a matter on the surface, and Lu Ren's real intention is not here.

In modern terms, the schedule of Shuijing Academy is a half-day system, that is, classes and lectures are held in the morning every day, and the afternoon is the free time for teachers and students. After chatting for an hour, Lu Ren would say that he was not good at the so-called theories of various schools, and sitting here would only spoil Sima Hui's Yaxing, and then leave Cai Yan down to talk to Sima Hui about these poems and songs, and leave Minchan to Cai Yan as a companion.

In addition, just in case, Gao Shun will be left to be his personal guard, Ling Feng and Ling Yun, two swordsman brothers, as bodyguards. After the matter was arranged, Lu Ren would take the wild girl Lu Lan around the Water Mirror Grange and try to have as much contact as possible with Mr. Shui Jing's disciples...... This is Lu Ren's main purpose.

Lu Renliu Shirley is in charge of development work in Yizhou, and he is remotely controlling Yizhou. Based on his many years of experience in Cao Yingzhong, Lu Ren believes that as long as Yizhou in his hands can develop peacefully for a few years, he will be able to catch up with or even surpass the more developed medium-sized cities in the Central Plains.

And once we enter this stage, the most urgent problem is the lack of human resources. Therefore, Lu Ren ran back to the Central Plains and temporarily lived in Jingzhou, another main purpose was to find a group of people who could be used.

Lu Ren had information at hand and knew that the talent center in the Central Plains should have been Yingchuan, but due to the destruction of the war, by this period, the talent center had gradually turned to Jingbei, where the situation was relatively stable, so if you want to find talents, you have to come to Jingbei.

Of course, people like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong can be said to be super-first-class characters, Lu Ren didn't dare to have any hope, because this kind of person with extremely strong ability has actually made plans in his heart. That is the ambition of the "Eight Kings" under one person and above ten thousand people, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to recruit these people based on your current situation Lu Ren.

What kind of goods is Lu Ren now? To put it mildly, just a businessman who used to be a big official and now has two bad money in hand, who cares about you if you really have great ambitions in your chest? Don't mention Yizhou, don't forget that the current Yizhou is just an uncivilized barbarian land in the eyes of everyone, and people who want to do something and make some achievements in this troubled world are not willing to go at all. Moreover, Lu Ren still doesn't dare to make Yizhou, which has no strength to speak of, public, otherwise he is looking for death.

So Lu Ren's eyes were not on these first-class talents, because it was too unrealistic. Lu Ren's main focus now is on those second-tier, third-tier, and even those who don't even have names in the history books. And among this type of people, people with better family backgrounds can also be basically excluded, because the only thing Lu Ren can take out to recruit people is money, and who cares about this money for people with better family backgrounds? In contrast, people with poorer backgrounds are more suitable, as long as Lu Ren throws some money at the right time to support the lives and studies of these poor children, that is, to show kindness to others. When the time came, Lu Ren believed that as long as he opened his mouth, the righteous among these people would follow Lu Ren without saying a word. These people may be entrusted with important tasks, but as grassroots and mid-level talents, there should be no problem.

Coincidentally, when Lu Ren and Xu Shu met a few days ago, Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan, who helped Xu Shu speak, were such a character. Shi Tao's ability Lu Ren is not clear, but from the historical data, Shi Tao and Xu Shu went north together, and served as the captain of the agricultural school and the county guard in Cao Wei, which is relatively rare in the middle and late Cao Wei when most of the officials were relatives of the Cao family or the children of famous families in the north.

When Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan later, he also sighed: "Wei Shu is evil! Why don't they care? At least Shi Tao's talent in internal affairs should be in the middle and upper ranks. The most important thing is that Shi Tao seems to have tied himself to Xu Shu, so when Lu Ren poached Xu Shu, I believe that Shi Tao would also follow Xu Shu. In Lu Ren's own words, this is called:
