said that Sun Quan came to Yizhou in disguise to be on the same batch as Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, but Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang stayed on Mi Zhen's ship because they were distinguished guests and envoys on the surface. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Sun Quan deliberately wanted to avoid them, so he just mixed in the general "business ship" and "business class". And when Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang arrived in Yizhou, Lu Ren and the others focused their eyes on Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, where would they pay attention to the general merchant shipping business class? Therefore, Sun Quan, Lu Su and others successfully avoided the eyes of Lu Ren and others, and after pretending to buy and sell the goods, they used the excuse of waiting for the ship to return to Wu County, and then "toured" here in the small city of Yizhou.

coincided with the Yizhou Festival, and the small city of Yizhou was full of people, and Sun Quan was deliberately avoiding others so as not to expose his whereabouts, so no one paid attention to Sun Quan's party in the past two or three days. Only once, when Sun Quan and Lu Su went to visit the city defense of Yizhou City, they almost ran into Lu Xun, who was also visiting the city defense of the small city.

I won't talk about these things anymore, that's what it is anyway. For Sun Quan, this "peeping" of the boundary of Yizhou gave Sun Quan a very complicated feeling, with novelty, admiration, vigilance, and at the same time, it was also quite shocking.

Let's not talk about the messy novelties, after all, there are also a lot of things in Yizhou that have spread to Wu County and then flow into Jiangdong, so Sun Quan has also seen a lot of novelties; And the peace and prosperity of the people of Yizhou naturally made Sun Quan admire in his heart, and said that Lu Ren's reputation for being good at governing the people was indeed worthy of his name; The vigilant ones are the city defense placements that Sun Quan saw, which proves that Lu Ren definitely does not know how to govern the people and does not understand military affairs as the rumors say, at least Lu Ren is also a person who knows the importance of military defense.

As for the shock...... Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang are the same batch of ships, so Lu Lan's first performance also didn't catch up, and Lu Lan's second performance, Sun Quan didn't want to go, but because he heard that Lu Lan was going to take the stage, Sun Quan didn't know what kind of mood he was in to go and watch it. In fact, Lu Lan had stayed with Sun Quan for a few months as a hostage, and Sun Quan's image of Lu Lan was very deep, and he even had the idea of asking Lu Ren to marry Lu Lan, but he was later persuaded by Wu Guomu.

But seriously, Sun Quan really thought a little about Lu Lan at that time, who made our "Lord Lan" so loved and bloomed? And men, more or less will have such a cheap product, that is, "what you can't get is the best", so after Sun Quan was persuaded by Wu Guomu, he actually had a little bit of a heart for Lu Lan in his heart. But then again, Lu Lan has many characteristics that can be said to be unique at that time, Sun Quan will be hooked by Lu Lan unconsciously, it seems that it is really not a very unusual thing, or how to say "My fair lady, good gentleman"?

But it was precisely because Sun Quan went to see Lu Lan's second performance that Sun Quan naturally saw the steam locomotive "Zero" made by Lu Ren and Shirley. And the military value contained in this, Liu Ye can see it, Lu Xun can see it, can't Sun Quan see it?

But for Sun Quan, he cares more than that. Looking at the direction where Lu Ren's Mansion was located, Sun Quan suddenly let out a long sigh, but what he remembered in his heart was the beautiful shadow he saw on the stage today, a beautiful shadow that made Sun Quan lose his soul......

————————————————————

The night was dark, and Lu Lan had already gone back to the room to sleep, while Lu Ren calmed down and thought about the situation he was going to face.

It may not be long before it will be the Battle of Chibi, although I don't know if it will still be the same as the result in history, but Lu Ren will definitely try his best to make this line not deviate too far, because Lu Ren really doesn't want to lose such a great opportunity. You must know that in the first battle of Chibi, the strength of Cao, Liu, and Sun was relatively damaged, and no matter which side was eager to restore its own strength, the demand for various products would also increase a lot, in other words, this was a good opportunity for Lu Ren to expand trade and increase his own commercial penetration in the territory of the three parties.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan are good to say, Sun Quan's influence on the Lu clan of Wu County in Sun Quan is already very large, and almost the entire ground of Eastern Wu is covered with all kinds of commercial strongholds of Lu Ren; Liu Bei, because he had just entered Jingxiang after the war, and his strength was limited after the war, and he urgently needed to quickly restore the domestic economy.

The real key is still with Cao Cao, Cao Cao's occupation of Hebei is already deep-rooted, if he really cuts off trade with Lu Ren and devotes himself to the development of a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, for a long time inland Ren will really have nothing to do with Cao Cao.

Rely solely on product advantages to influence Cao Cao's territory? God knows how many years it will take to fully influence, but there is a precedent in modern Chinese history. At the beginning, the European powers also wanted to use the simple commodity advantage to break into the Chinese market in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they did not see any effect at all, and later they sold opium, a vicious thing, into China, and also triggered the Opium War, which really opened the Chinese market.

It is a heinous crime to start a war over something like opium, but in a sense, the Opium War was actually a commercial war fought by merchants for profit. By the time the market in China was truly opened, the sales of all kinds of commercial products in Europe had already surpassed opium, and things such as "foreign fire" and "foreign cloth" were all over China, so that the economic lifeline of China at that time was almost no longer in their own hands.

At present, the relationship between Lu Ren and Cao Cao is very similar to what was said above, but the problem is that Lu Ren cannot use vicious things to poison his Chinese people like the European powers. Forcibly use force to blast open the commercial door of Cao Cao's realm? Lu Ren doesn't have that kind of strength, and Cao Cao and his subordinates are not fuel-efficient lamps. Even in modern China, if it were not for the corruption and incompetence of the Manchu government, the European powers would not necessarily have been able to open the door to China. Therefore, how to ensure friendly relations with Cao Cao, and then peacefully open the commercial market in Cao Cao's realm, and then gradually expand the commercial influence is the top priority for Lu Ren at present.

It's just that these things are useless even if they are urgent at the moment. Zhao Yu was still with Cao Cao and did not come back, and Lu Ren repeatedly emphasized that in addition to trying his best to let Cao Cao know that Lu Ren did not want to be an enemy of Cao Cao, he also had to try to find out whether the Hanoi Sima clan had begun to emerge in Cao Cao's camp.

Because if that is the case, the Xun family, which has always had a good relationship with Lu Ren, may have entered the blacklist of the family that Cao Cao began to suppress, and Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who were originally highly valued by Cao Cao and could help Lu Ren ensure a friendly relationship between the two families to some extent, may have gradually been estranged by Cao Cao's suspicion. Then Lu Ren's strategy here has to be modified to a certain extent.

At this moment, it was already dark, and Lu Ren was sitting alone in the study, supporting his head with one hand, and scribbling on the white paper on the table with the other. What exactly did he want to write Lu Ren didn't know, and he didn't even notice that the pen in his hand was out of ink after thinking about it, and the snow-white white paper was a mess of graffiti. After a long time, Lu Ren came back to his senses, looked at the white paper in front of him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the paper basket, and then laid out a piece of white paper and dipped it in ink, but he didn't know what to write when he picked up the pen.

Sighing and hanging the pen, Lu Ren came to the courtyard and looked up at the moon, his heart was in a mess and he couldn't figure out any thoughts. It is said that the world is impermanent, and Lu Ren also knows that what he wants to do will definitely not be so smooth. Even in this section of the Battle of Red Cliffs, Lu Ren didn't know what would happen next, let alone how to correct the route.

At night to the third watch, Lu Ren, who was standing there, suddenly heard a faint singing: "...... The old lover is still there/The new joy is coming again/Ask the gentleman He Riqing/I have a romantic debt ......"

Lu Ren was dumbfounded when he heard the song, as soon as Lu Ren heard this voice, he knew that it was Diao Chan singing in a low voice in the courtyard next to him, although the meaning of the song sounded like a resentful woman at home complaining about how her husband was unkind, in fact, Lu Ren knew that this was Diao Chan mocking the unclear relationship between herself and Lu Lan. Thinking about these messy things on his body, Lu Ren couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head, and said to himself: "Old love and new love...... Why does it sound like I'm guilty of the worst? Ay? Old love, new love? Old vs. New? ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Lu Ren hurriedly returned to the study, picked up the pen and wrote the words old and new on the paper, and thought in his heart: "If Cao Cao and Sima Yi represent the old-style scholar landlord class, then don't I represent the new type of bourgeois business family class now?"

"The feudal landlordship used to fight slavery, and now my appearance is like making the bourgeois system and the landlord system fight in advance. Whether I will win or lose is now unpredictable, and it is very likely that I will be defeated, after all, the peak period of feudal landlordism has not yet arrived. However, the dead are alive, and it is okay for me to make some appropriate changes according to the situation, even if I can leave a little sprout of thought for the future, maybe I can change a lot.

"However, judging from the history books, the real key seems to be the supreme imperial power, as well as the idea that everyone can be the emperor in the hearts of careerists...... Hey, how do these things remind me of my politics class when I was a student? I don't remember anything about it for a long time, but what about the students' politics class...... Hehe! ”

Carrying a pen and wandering all over the world, the door of the study was gently pushed open by Minchan at this time, and Lu Ren asked Lu Ren with a strange smile on his face: "My songs are finished, why are you still stupid here?" Did you not hear it or did you play dumb? It's past three watches, you don't have to sleep, do you? Yihao, pay attention to your body! (To be continued.) )
