Chapter 162: Honest "Benevolence"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So now, I'm still counting on the county lord to go back to Jiangdong and exchange my Xiaolan back! ”

Lu Ren's words made Sun Shangxiang stunned, and after a while, he asked very uncertainly: "What does Lu Servant mean by this?" ”

Lu Renxin said, "What do you mean?" In the world of this era, you are the only one who is as bold as you to scheming. This is fortunate that Lao Tzu is not the kind of weird Shu millet who will use lollipops and goldfish to abduct little Lori, otherwise the fun will be great.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be said, Lu Ren can only put on a helpless and aggrieved look in front of Sun Shangxiang, and sigh again: "County Lord, you leave a book and run out to play, if you go to your uncle's places all over Jiangdong, of course, there is no problem, but you just got mixed up with the boat and ran to my Yizhou." And if I expected it to be true, you didn't mention in your book that you would come to our Yizhou to play, right? If I don't send someone to explain this matter to Brother Ling Wu Hou and Ling Tang Wu Guomu, if Brother Ling and Ling Tang mistakenly think that I have abducted and abducted you, what kind of consequences do you say? ”

"This ......"

At this time, Sun Shangxiang is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl after all, and she is usually wild, and many times she acts with the momentum of her brain, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a little childish. And after playing crazy for a few months, when Lu Ren mentioned it like this, Sun Shangxiang realized something. To put it mildly, this little girl's current situation is like some children in modern society, because she is greedy for a while to play in the Internet cafΓ© in the dark, and it will not be until the time is over and after getting off the plane, she will realize that there will definitely be a fat beating waiting for her when she returns home.

Lu Ren continued: "So I must send someone here to Wu Hou and Wu Guomu to explain this matter, but our overseas island is not like your Jiangdong borders, and you need to prepare a fleet of ships to set off before you can set off, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth." And in order to reassure Wu Hou and Wu Guomu, I can only send the closest people around me to Jiangdong as hostages. Princess. Do you see what I mean? ”

Sun Shangxiang is usually more impulsive, and he will do things a little without his brain, but if he wants to say that he is stupid, he is definitely not stupid, so he understood after thinking about it carefully at this time, and then said apologetically to Lu Ren: "I'm sorry, Lu Servant shot ......."

Lu Ren waved his hand and smiled: "It's not a big deal, and I think Brother Ling and Ling Tang will definitely not embarrass my Xiaolan." But you've had enough of it now, right? I also hope that the county lord can return to Wu as soon as possible, and ask Wu Hou to put my Xiaolan back...... Oh, I also have one more thing to ask for, I hope the county lord can help talk in front of Wu Hou. ”

Sun Shangxiang immediately patted his chest and said: "Lu Servant, please speak, as long as Shang Xiang can do it, it will be defined." ”

Lu Ren smiled dryly, slightly embarrassed: "It's not a big deal." Actually, it's like this. Last year, we took in a lot of displaced people from the north who were fleeing the war, but our grain and rice production in Yizhou was limited, and we calculated that it might not be available in the past two years, so we wanted to buy some grain and rice in Jiangdong for the displaced people to eat......"

This is actually nonsense. The output of the farmland cultivated in Yizhou in the last two phases may not be able to cope with the large number of northern refugees who poured into Yizhou before, but Lu Ren has been making preparations in this regard, and the grain secretly accumulated for 100,000 people to eat for three years is not a problem. However, to the outside world, as well as to Sun Quan, Lu Ren has always been taking this kind of ostensibly insufficient food production. It is necessary to buy a certain amount of food from the outside world.

In short, it is still the same sentence, with the humanistic concept at that time, unless it is some area with special significance, it is an area with insufficient food production. Generally speaking, it does not arouse the interest of any family. And Sun Shangxiang came to Yizhou this time just to play crazy without heart and lungs, and he didn't have the heart to consider Yizhou's economic ability at all, Lu Ren took this opportunity to use Sun Shangxiang to beat the side drum to Sun Quan, if nothing else, Sun Quan can reduce his interest in Yizhou a little.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang again, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" When I got back, I told my second brother. ”

Lu Ren nodded in thanks. In my heart, I was a little unimpressed. At that time, it was still a time of war, and it was not easy to circulate grain, a strategic material that was very important to the people, in large quantities. Like before, Lu Ren had to ask Cai Mao for help when he bought a large amount of grain in Jingzhou. However, Lu Ren himself just wants to show a superficial attitude, and it doesn't matter if he can buy it or not. The real and most critical issue is that Lu Lan has to come back safely from Jiangdong.

Then how could Lu Ren send Lu Lan to Sun Quan as a hostage? In fact, it is still the same sentence, Lu Ren does not have the corresponding strength to deal with Sun Quan's radical actions now, so it is very necessary to try to maintain a relatively good relationship with Sun Quan.

And Sun Shangxiang suddenly came to Yizhou, which somewhat disrupted Lu Ren's position, and Lu Ren knew very well that this kind of thing could not be hidden, and there were only two ways to deal with it, one was to send Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong immediately, and the other was to let Sun Shangxiang play happily here in Yizhou, and when Sun Shangxiang had enough, he would use Sun Shangxiang's mouth to tell Sun Quan some things, that is, Shirley copied it at that time.

The pros and cons of sending Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong immediately, Shirley had analyzed Sun Shangxiang's character at that time, if it doesn't work this time, there will definitely be a next time, and this time Sun Shangxiang took the initiative to jump out and let Lu Ren know, but the next time Sun Shangxiang hides and wanders around in Yizhou, maybe some things in Yizhou will be heard by Sun Shangxiang, and then the trouble will not be a little bit.

In contrast, it was easy to control that Lu Ren sent someone to guide Sun Shangxiang to have a good time here in Yizhou. But in this way, Sun Shangxiang is bound to stay in Yizhou for a long time. Considering that this kind of thing will definitely be transmitted back to Koto soon...... Lu Ren would not be naΓ―ve to think that there would be no Sun Quan's meticulous work here in Yizhou, so instead of hiding it like this, and even giving Sun Quan some excuse, it is better to pretend to be an honest man in front of Sun Quan. And for an honest person, people often lack the heart of prevention, don't they?

Therefore, after several considerations, Lu Ren finally sent Lu Lan to Sun Quan, and informed Sun Quan and Wu Guomu that Sun Shangxiang had gone to Yizhou to play, so that at least on the bright side, Lu Ren would have a "reason" word. And as long as he takes advantage of this reason, Sun Quan will not dare to make any radical moves against Lu Ren......

Although Sun Quan was also a notoriously unreasonable person in the original historical process, it also depended on the situation. In this period, if Lu Ren took advantage of the reason, but Sun Quan still wanted to do it, it would be tantamount to touching the bottom line of the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, and then attracting a strong backlash from the local wealthy families in Jiangdong. As long as Sun Quan wasn't a stupid person, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

As for sending Lu Lan to Sun Quan, Lu Ren was actually a little helpless. What is Sun Shangxiang's identity? The person sent by Lu Ren here has the meaning of hostage in it, so if the weight level is not enough, it will not work. It's just that there are only a few people close to Lu Ren......

Cai Yan? How dare Lu Ren let Cai Yan out! Aside from Cai Yan's need to take care of Lu Feng and Lu Yu, who were just one year old in Yizhou, Cai Yan's own personality and mind are not suitable to be this hostage messenger. Cai Yan's mind is not so deep, if he really goes to Sun Quan, he may be asked by Sun Quan's people and will inadvertently tell some of the inside information of Yizhou, and Lu Ren believes that there will be no shortage of people around Sun Quan;

Mink Chan? Although there is nothing wrong with Minchan's personality and mentality, but if Diao Chan is sent out, who will stare at Sun Shangxiang who is playing blindly here in Yizhou?

Mi Zhen ...... Please, Mi Zhen is in charge of the most important trade road in Yizhou at the moment, where can she go?

As for Zhao Yu, Lu Lingqi or others, because they are not Lu Ren's relatives, they are a little lacking in the weight class, and these people more or less have their own tasks. In the end, after thinking about it, only Lu Lan was suitable.

First of all, Lu Lan has no problem in terms of identity, because Lu Lan is one of the closest people around Lu Ren. Lu Ren himself regards Lu Lan as his little sister, but there are many people who think that Lu Lan is actually Lu Ren's forbidden body...... Of course, Lu Ren himself knows this problem, but no one will be full enough to bring up this problem. However, it is precisely because of such a relationship that Lu Lan is indeed no problem in the weight class as a hostage/envoy this time.

Secondly, Lu Lan has followed Lu Ren for many years, and the characters she has dealt with are from the courtiers of the Son of Heaven to the ordinary people, so Lu Ren deeply knows that what is hidden under Lu Lan's innocent and romantic appearance is definitely enough to be smart and clever and black-bellied, but Lu Lan will not use those black-bellied things on Lu Ren's body. But with Lu Lan's cleverness and black belly, Sun Quan's gang wanted to ask what about Yizhou from Lu Lan's mouth...... Then please save it. Lu Lan had a lot of dealings with the courtiers of the Son of Heaven in the Xuchang court, and her knowledge at a young age was actually very unusual.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Lu Ren also specially told Lu Lan many things, such as that after Lu Lan arrived in Wu County, he should not go to Sun Quan in the normal way, but should go directly to see Wu Guomu. And this is one of the reasons why Lu Renhui decided to send Lu Lan out, because Lu Lan is a girl, and she can use this to skip some links in some things, and then directly get the protection of Wu Guomu. But if it is a male creature that is sent out, it will inevitably have to go through the normal link, and then it will be questioned openly and secretly by Sun Quan's gang, and if you don't do it, you won't even get the corresponding protection.

Lu Ren's idea, if it was changed to some people at that time, most of them would be disdainful or even sneered. But how could Lu Ren care about this? As a modern time-traveler, Lu Ren knows very well that if the girl card is played well, the effect that can be shown is quite amazing...... (To be continued.) )
