Chapter 84 Stop-and-go

Is this matter between Lu Ren and the Zhen family difficult to solve?

In fact, it is not difficult to be sincere at all. The key to solving this kind of thing is often only whether one of the parties can throw down their face and lower their profile. And Lu Ren occupies the absolute initiative in this matter, and he has the bottom in his heart, so the party that wants to put down his son to ask for help will not be Lu Ren, but only the Zhen family.

The Zhen clan wants to go to Yizhou to recuperate, why isn't Lu Ren playing the idea of the Zhen clan? Seeing Zhen Yao's bitter face and pulling down his face to beg for himself, Lu Ren was also happy to go down this step. Anyway, for Lu Ren, don't be so tall and arrogant in your Zhen clan's posture. And many years later, when Zhen Yao mentioned this matter, while congratulating himself for making the right choice this time and making the Zhen family prosperous, he couldn't help but say in a somewhat joking tone:

"People, when it's time to be shameless, it's better not to ask for face."

Without further ado, there are only about 300 people in the Zhen clan here, and with the carrying capacity of the ships of Lu Ren's fleet, if it is really a fortress, one ship can be loaded. In short, after picking up these people on the ship and arranging the cabins, Lu Ren said goodbye to Liu Qi, who was reluctant to give up, and led the fleet to leave Jiangxia. Before leaving, Lu Ren asked Liu Qi to help pay attention to some things, and of course Liu Qi agreed.

On this voyage, Lu Ren did not go to Chaisang again, but went straight downstream, and only stopped in Haichang for a while when he arrived in Haichang, and the main purpose was just to say hello to Lu Xun.

Some people may say why didn't Lu Ren get Lu Xun to Yizhou? It's not that Lu Ren doesn't want to, but with the current situation at that time, Lu Xun was also a little forced under Sun Quan's command. Sun Quan needs the support of the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, and in turn, if the wealthy families in Jiangdong do not want to have a complete falling out with Sun Quan, of course they must express themselves to Sun Quan.

Moreover, after Sun Quan took over Sun Ce's position, he changed the style of "kill if you don't support it" in Sun Ce's era, and did a good job of showing favor and wooing the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, in other words, Sun Quan began to implement the Jiangdongization of the members of the Sun Group. Of course, it can also be understood that the Sun Group was "integrated" by the Jiangdong wealthy family. Anyway, Sun Quan only cares about whether the surname of the Sun group is Sun or not, whether he is the person in charge of this group, and he doesn't care much about whether the main composition of the members of the group is the Huaixi Army, the exiled Beishi, or the Jiangdong wealthy family.

However, in this way, the original Jiangdong wealthy families began to slowly accept the Sun Group, such as the "Four Surnames of Wu", there are already many people who have officially appeared under Sun Quan's command, on the one hand, to enhance their family's political influence, and on the other hand, they are also expressing support to Sun Quan. Under this trend, the Lu clan naturally has to follow the trend, otherwise it will slowly only be regarded as an alternative by other Jiangdong wealthy clans, and then squeezed out.

The most representative figure of the Lu clan at the moment is, of course, Lu Ren. But Lu Ren has his own plans, of course he will not go out under Sun Quan, so this errand can only fall on Lu Xun. Originally, this matter should have been handed over to Lu Ji, the owner of the real family, to do it, but Lu Ji has not been officially crowned until the current Jian'an eight years, so he can only let poor Lu Xun go up. Then again, when Jian'an was eight years old, Lu Xun was only twenty-four years old.

Lu Ren had nothing else to do about this except helplessness. After all these years, Lu Ren knows very well the terrible concept of clans in this era. Although some members of the Lu clan of Wu County moved to Yizhou, the main body of the clan is still in Wu County. Lu Ren is not the head of the Lu family in Wu County. To put it mildly, Lu Ren is like a famous clan elder in the Lu clan of Wu County, and he has no right to speak at all, so even if he wants the Lu clan of Wu County to move to Yizhou, no one will listen to him.

Besides, this kind of thing can involve the ancestral local foundation, which is a top priority for a clan. Therefore, even if Lu Ren, Lu Xun, and Lu Ji ordered the relocation together, you can imagine how many people will oppose it. Since this is the case, Lu Ren naturally won't be full of food and nothing to commit this kind of public anger, anyway, the Lu clan of Wu County will be able to export some population to Yizhou at about the same time. Moreover, there is a direct sales group of Wujun Lu's products in Wudi Dangyizhou. The benefits are still there.

Lu Ren and Lu Xun just met in a hurry and set sail, after all, there was nothing to do here in Lu Xun at the moment. However, Lu Xun discussed with Lu Ren, which meant that Lu Ren would stop by Wu Jun's hometown. By the way, I will do Lu Ji's ideological work, that is, let Lu Ji become an official under Sun Quan and be an official for a few years, and then resign and go home to be his scholar after making a statement to Sun Quan.

Speaking of which, Lu Ji has always been not interested in things like being an official, but is interested in poetry and poetry and academic research, and several of his works in history are also famous. Such a No. 1 person wants him to be an official, and it is indeed a little difficult for him to mix up in the officialdom. But Lu Ren and Lu Xun both took into account the current trend of Jiangdong, and Lu Ji, as the official head of the Lu family in Wu County, it was indeed necessary for him to mix in the officialdom for a few years under Sun Quan's command, so Lu Ren could only agree.

There are many words and annoying, and it will not take long for the fleet to reach Wu County after it has sailed from Haichang offshore. And even if Lu Ren didn't accept Lu Xun's request to do ideological work for Lu Ji, the fleet itself had to dump some goods and carry out the corresponding supplies to Yizhou at the Lu Wharf in Wu County, so the fleet temporarily docked in Wu County.

Trivial matters do not need to be dealt with by Lu Ren personally, but many of these northerners of the Zhen clan are very uncomfortable during these few days of boat journey, and seasickness and vomiting are not uncommon, and it just so happens that they are slow down on land these days. However, Lu Ren had already taken this aspect into account when he first helped the Mi clan move to Yizhou, and in the past few years, the small town of Yizhou has been constantly moving the exiles from the war-torn areas to Yizhou, so seasickness medicine has always been well prepared. Although the people of the Zhen clan are not used to this kind of long boat trip, no one has any major problems.

Lu Ren has nothing to say about going to Lu Ji to do ideological work, anyway, there are only a few sets of corresponding rhetoric, and Lu Ji is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows the importance of this. In contrast, it is worth mentioning that when Zhen Yao and the old lady of the Zhen family got off the boat to take a walk, they witnessed the current prosperity of the Lu clan of Wu County, and their hearts were very sour, but at the same time, they were full of hope for the future of their clan after arriving in Yizhou.

Is the Kure Lu clan thriving now? The answer is yes. Although the Lu clan of Wujun fell into a great crisis when Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, Sun Ce still had some scruples at that time, and he did not have any ruthlessness against the Lu clan, so although the situation of the Lu clan was quite dangerous during that period, because there was no head-on conflict with Sun Ce, the clan itself was not injured. Next, Sun Ce was assassinated, and in order to stabilize his power, Sun Quan would not easily move the Jiangdong Hao clan, which made the Lu clan, which was already on the edge of the precipice, greatly relieved.

On the other hand, as early as the third year of Jian'an, Lu Ren and Mi Zhen joined forces to open up the waterway of Xuzhou, Wu County and Yizhou. It was at that time that the economic strength of the Lu clan of Wu County, which had been hit by Lu Kang's death, had begun to gradually recover.

Next, although the Mi clan lost the territory of Xuzhou, the small town of Yizhou has already developed initially, so many specialties in the small town of Yizhou still brought considerable benefits to the Lu family of Wu County. Taking the end of the fifth year of Jian'an as the cut-off point, the Lu family of Wujun has been doing business for about two years, and its own economic strength is already very good.

When he was in the sixth year of Jian'an, Lu Ren took Shirley to Yizhou, and it really took some thought and time to strengthen the industrial system of Yizhou Town, and Wu County Lu naturally became the first beneficiary, after all, Lu Ren had not gone to Jingzhou at that time, and he was unable to open up business and trade ties with Jingzhou.

Let's put it this way, by the time of the eighth year of Jian'an, the Lu clan of Wujun had been running for more than four years and almost five years, and the income obtained before and after was not a small amount. And if a clan has a lot of money, it is difficult not to prosper! In addition, since the Lu clan's income is basically all from shipping, they attach great importance to their own wharf, and they have spent enough energy on the construction of the clan's wharf in the past year. At the present point alone, the dock of the Lu clan can be called a qualified small port, and its soft and hard facilities are even better than those of the dock in Xiangyang.

And such a place, when Lu Ren's fleet docked to dump goods, it was naturally very lively. On the other hand, the Zhen clan has such a number of 300 people at the moment, and it is strange that when he sees the movement of other people's clans is so big and lively, he will not be sour! In modern terms, it is really full of envy and hatred.

But Zhen Yao had a letter from the Zhen sisters in his hand, which told Zhen Yao that the small town of Yizhou was now in a start-up stage, and if the Zhen clan could rush to Yizhou as soon as possible, it would mean that the Zhen clan would be able to seize the opportunity, and the sooner they arrived, the sooner they could get a share of the big cake. And now the lively situation of the Lu clan seems to confirm the truth of what the Zhen sisters said in the letter, so Zhen Yao is full of hope for the future of his own clan while envious, jealous and hateful......
