Chapter 196 Full utilization

As soon as she heard Lu Ren say that she wanted to leak the secret to herself, Mi Zhen had the intention of avoiding it. After all, Mi Zhen is not the kind of woman who doesn't know the seriousness, and she has not been living here for a few days now, so she is also extra careful about this matter.

Lu Ren stopped Mi Zhen in time, smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, what can be said and what can't be said, can I not know?" Don't underestimate me too much, okay? ”

Mi Zhen hesitated for a moment, but sat back and waited for Lu Ren to speak.

Lu Ren shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "Actually, it's not a secret matter. Let's put it this way, after Cao Gong welcomed the Son of Heaven, he was bound to conquer in all directions, and what was the war fighting? It was a large amount of food. If there is not enough food support, then Cao Gong will still have a fart fight! ”

Mi Zhenqi said: "This, what kind of confidential thing can this be? What the hell is the gentleman trying to say? ”

Lu Ren said: "I want to say that since ancient times, it is better to save money than to save money, and with Cao Gong's person, although now let me take charge of the affairs of Tuntian around Xudu, I believe that it will not be long before a ban on alcohol will be issued in order to save food for military food." ”

Mi Zhen let out an "ah" and said strangely: "Since there will be a ban on alcohol, what kind of wine shop do I want to open?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Who said that a wine store must sell wine?" Don't let us sell alcohol, we can sell juice and vegetable juice! You don't know how addicted the gang of people in Xudu City are, if they really have no alcohol to drink, it is more uncomfortable than taking their lives. What if we could get something that wasn't alcohol, but that would quench the addiction? ”

Mi Zhen was stunned, and then she was overjoyed: "Then you don't make a lot of money?" ”

However, Mi Zhen immediately hesitated again: "It's just ...... Is there such a thing? ”

Lu Ren smiled smugly: "Miss Mi, have you forgotten who I am?" Have you forgotten that I've traveled the world and learned a lot of messy things? Also, are you and I inspecting and inspecting the surroundings of Xudu all for others to see? ”

Saying that, Lu Ren took out another scroll of patterns and handed it to Mi Zhen: "The places marked on this are some fruit-rich places around Xudu. I wanted to do something for a long time, but I couldn't do anything because I had no money, no people, and no time. Now that you're here, and you've brought enough money and manpower, who can I be cheap if I'm not cheap? ”

Mi Zhen thought about it after hearing this, nodded and said, "Okay!" I believe sir! It's just that this method of making sake ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand: "Silly girl! Stop calling it a drink, want to get into trouble? Fruit liquid, this thing is fruit liquid, but it has to be brewed a little, but it never takes up food, understand? ”

Mi Zhen smiled: "I understand, it's just a fruit, and it doesn't cost a grain of grain." What about how to make sake? ”

Lu Ren pointed to a roll of bamboo slips: "Here it is." But don't be in a hurry, buy land and houses, and make wine...... Oh, all the mess of the fruit juice has to be prepared first. Besides, the people you bring also have to familiarize themselves with the places around Xudu first, which will take some time. It's just summer, and you're still some time before the fruit is ripe, so you have plenty of time to do it. As for the specifics, you're a professional merchant and you're better at it than I am, so I won't say more. But there is one thing, that is, you must not go too far, and don't bluff people with my name. ”

Mi Zhen glanced at Lu Ren: "I know, I won't cause trouble to you, sir, don't let me be the kind of powerful clan that will bully people, okay?" ”

Lu Ren shrugged. After all, he had stayed in the Mi clan at the beginning, and he knew that the Mi clan was really not that kind of person, but he always felt uncomfortable not saying this kind of thing.

As for the fruit wine that Lu Ren asked Mi Zhen to make, it was mainly the apple sparkling wine that was preliminarily brewed. It may be a bit confusing to say this, but it is easy to understand if it is a preliminary champagne. Speaking of which, Lu Ren is also playing a big game with Cao Cao's upcoming ban on alcohol and food.

However, Lu Ren is not simply coaxing Mi Zhen or giving Mi Zhen something sweet. In fact, how long has it been since Xuchang became the capital of Han? The current situation is not too much to say in Lu Ren's words, there is a large demand for items everywhere, and Lu Ren has been patrolling everywhere and is very clear about this matter.

As Xu Duling, it is within his duty to meet these needs, and in addition to those factors related to Lu Ren's net worth, Lu Ren really wants to do these things well. At least at least, Lu Ren is also treating Xu Duling's work as if he is playing a real-life version of a game like SimCity. Who wouldn't want to play the game well?

It's a pity that Lu Ren doesn't have any golden fingers to open in this regard, and he can't open them like in the game, and he can get whatever he wants. And Lu Ren's biggest problem at present is that he can't allocate the corresponding manpower and material resources to invigorate the market circulation in Xuchang. You must know that the era was originally heavy on agriculture and light on business, and Cao Cao was counting on Lu Ren to grow a large amount of grain quickly. So for many things, Lu Ren can only sigh with joy, and then go to Tuntian to farm with peace of mind, so as not to cause himself any unnecessary trouble.

Now Mi Zhen's arrival has made Lu Ren's eyes brighten. If the power of the government cannot be mobilized, isn't it okay to mobilize the power of the people to a certain extent? In modern society, doesn't the government still encourage and attract, and engage in attracting investment? And Mi Zhen can be said to be a business family in that era, doing business and trading is an expert, and now he just brought a lot of money and manpower over, and it is just right for Lu Ren to hand over some things that Lu Ren wants to do but can't do. For example, Lu Ren urgently needs something here, so wouldn't it be okay to send Mi Zhen to the vendor back? And let Mi Zhen earn the money that should be earned, and no one will say anything about the tricks, at least it is in accordance with the law of reason.

Of course, Lu Ren also knew very well that with the money and manpower brought by Mi Zhen, it was impossible to meet the supply needs of Xuchang here, but in this matter, Lu Ren just wanted Mi Zhen to play a leading role. As long as someone takes the lead, and gets the sweetness and earns the first pot of gold, there is no fear that no one will follow suit.

On the other hand, although the sweetness was earned by Mi Zhen, Lu Ren, who had already made up his mind to wear it back, didn't care how much money he could make in this era, as long as he did the work at hand well and smoothly, so that Cao Cao would not come to embarrass himself, and then finish the past few years with peace of mind. As for what happened after he left, Lu Ren was too lazy to take care of it, and he couldn't manage it if he wanted to. Anyway, Mi Zhen is already benevolent and righteous, so Lu Ren at least won't have any psychological burden. Of course, if Mi Zhen was willing to voluntarily sacrifice himself to Lu Ren without asking for anything, Lu Ren would still be willing to accept it, but Lu Ren knew that it was impossible......

Here was discussing some details with Mi Zhen, and suddenly someone came to report that the Son of Heaven had sent someone to find Lu Ren. Lu Ren was stunned and counted the days again, and said in his heart that it was not right, today is not the day to agree to play basketball with Emperor Liu Xie, so what did Emperor Liu Xie send someone to do with him?

However, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty sent someone, how could Lu Ren dare to slack off? Even if it is Cao Cao, the face that should be given must always be given. It may also be that the people who dedicated the emperor Liu Xie came to Lu Ren to pass on the word and passed it on to him, and he didn't go through any trivial things such as passing it on behalf of him, so he went directly to Lu Ren's study, and naturally happened to meet Lu Ren and Mi Zhen in the study together and read the bamboo slips.

"Lu Lingjun, don't come unharmed!"

Lu Ren hurriedly took Mi Zhen to the eunuch who came, and after the salute, Lu Ren asked: "Today is not the day of the ball play set by the Son of Heaven, but I don't know what happened to Lu Ren passed on by the Son of Heaven?" ”

The eunuch said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven heard that Lu Lingjun and Dr. Cao were fighting outside the city of Xudu a few days ago, and he was worried that Lu Lingjun might be injured, so he ordered the villain to visit the day before yesterday. Seeing that Lu Lingjun's body is fine today, the Son of Heaven can worry about it. However, in order to ask the Son of Heaven to have peace of mind, he still asked Lu Lingjun to enter the palace to have a meeting with the Son of Heaven for a while, so he could also accompany the Son of Heaven to have a few drinks and talk about some gossip. ”

Lu Renxin said, how did this bit of reach the ears of Emperor Liu Xie? This puppet son of heaven's ears and eyes are actually quite well-informed! And the summons of the Son of Heaven, Lu Ren dared to say no? Therefore, let this eunuch go back to the palace to report first, and he will rush over as soon as he changes his clothes and washes his face.

Lu Ren entered the palace to accompany Emperor Liu Xie to play basketball not once or twice, so the eunuch who passed the message knew that Lu Ren had to make some corresponding preparations before entering the palace, so he went back to the palace to talk back to Emperor Liu Xie. Lu Ren was about to prepare to enter the palace here, but when he saw Mi Zhen, he was very surprised and asked Lu Ren, "Sir, are you...... Now you can enter the palace at any time to meet the Son of Heaven!? ”

Lu Ren was busy packing up his things, so he responded casually: "Yes, the Son of Heaven also gave me a golden talisman for this, and I can go directly to the palace with this golden talisman." In fact, it's nothing, it's just that I have to enter the palace several times a month and play basketball with the Son of Heaven. Oh yes, speaking of which, this basketball is still a plaything I made when I tried it out in Juancheng, and it was really unexpected that the Son of Heaven would like to play it. ”

Mi Zhenyu looked at Lu Ren who was packing up his things dumbly, and said in her heart that you said it too lightly, right? What does it mean to "that is" to go to the palace every month to play basketball with the emperor? You, Lu Ren, are the official ruling officials of the court, and you are not a eunuch eunuch who specializes in accompanying the emperor for games and entertainment, and what does it mean for an official to be treated like this by the emperor?

Yes, the current Han Emperor has no actual power, it seems to be useless, but that also depends on what kind of person it is for. And no matter what, the official and legitimate emperor name is always there, otherwise why would Cao Cao play any kind of "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the candidates"? It can be seen that the emperor's name was still very loud at that time, and it was even more different for Mi Zhen.

Seeing that Lu Ren hurriedly boarded the car after a few words, Mi Zhen, who was sent to the door, also took a long time to come back to her senses. After thinking about it for a while, Mi Zhen hurriedly asked someone to find the person who was going to go back to Xuzhou to report safety, took him to a secluded place and ordered: "When you report safety to my eldest brother, bring another word to my eldest brother, just say that the current Lu Yihao is extraordinary, not only in an important position in Xudu, but even today...... Well! It is said that today the son regards him as a friend of cloth clothes, and he is very close. And I'm here to come to Xu Du this time, it's the right thing...... I won't go back again, let my eldest brother cherish himself. But there is danger, go to Xudu! ”

The messenger took the order and left. However, Mi Zhen didn't know that the person who sent the letter had actually been conquered by Liu Bei, and Mi Zhen's words to Mi Zhu would also be brought to Liu Bei's ears word for word......

(Looking back, does it feel like this arrangement is a bit too dramatic?) No matter, so be it. Shameless asking for tickets, asking for collections, asking for recommendations! Everybody's bricks are also welcome. As long as it's not swear and unreasonable, the bottle will pay off. )
