In Meng Village, in Lu Ren's mansion, a high, piercing scream is tormenting everyone's eardrums.

"Sir!! What the hell is going on? I didn't stay in Xudu for a few days this time, why did you suddenly ...... you?"

Lu Ren put down the hand that was covering his ears with some exaggeration before, and then pretended to be calm and picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "What? Surprised? ”

Mi Zhen only felt angry and good at Lu Ren's worldly appearance: "Nonsense! It's a little too inexplicable, isn't it? ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "It's right for some reason." Don't talk about you, even if it's me, people are still confused now. ”

“…… What the hell is going on? ”

Saying this, Mi Zhen looked at Cai Yan, who was sitting beside Lu Ren, with a calm look on his face. may feel that what he just said just now and the tone of voice are not appropriate, so he hurriedly smiled at Cai Yan and said: "Sister Cai, don't misunderstand anything, I don't mean anything else, I have always been so unkind to talk to my husband." Besides, it's really too ...... for you and your husband to marry Oops, I don't know what to say. ”

Cai Yan smiled and shook his head at Mi Zhen and said, "It's okay, it's not that I don't know that you and Yihao are often so noisy." And as you said to Yihao, this marriage came too suddenly, so not only you, but even I, like Yihao, have been in a dream until now. ”

“……”

Mi Zhen saw that Cai Yan said this, so she was speechless or speechless. After a long time, Mi Zhen smiled very unknowingly: "Oh, I really didn't expect it to be like this, when the Lu side sent someone to inform me yesterday, I thought it was a joke, but I rushed back in a hurry, and I didn't even prepare a congratulatory gift." ”

Cai Yan's words were still plain: "Mi family girl, you are too polite." In fact, you and Yihao each lead a clan here in Xudu, and they are each other's lips and teeth, and they are close to each other, so why should you care about this worldly courtesy? ”

Mi Zhen sighed a few times, turned her head to Lu Ren and said, "Sister Cai is everyone's best girl, I feel that I am ashamed of myself." Are you, sir...... Alas! Sister Cai, why is this flower inserted on a pile of cow dung? ”

Cai Yan covered her mouth and chuckled: "The girl of the Mi family is really good at talking." ”

Lu Ren was not happy: "Hey, have you hurt me so much?" ”

Mi Zhen said: "I'm not wrong! Sir, you're just a pile of cow dung. ”

Lu Ren's face twitched a few times, and he snorted: "Cow dung is cow dung." And what about cow dung? That's a good fertilizer, and if the flowers are really inserted in the cow dung, they will only bloom more vividly, okay? ”

“……”“……”

Cai Yan and Mi Zhen were speechless, but fortunately, they were more or less accustomed to Lu Ren's style, so they just smiled relatively. And Cai Yan looked at Lu Ren and Mi Zhen again, and after a little silence, he said loudly: "Yihao, you and the Mi family sisters probably have a lot of things to talk about in the clan, so you can talk about it, I'll go to the paper mill to have a look." ”

Lu Ren nodded, and Cai Yan drifted away. After Mi Zhen saw Cai Yan leave, she said to Lu Ren again: "Look at this trouble! Sir, although I have known for a long time that you and Akihime will have such a day, this is really ...... Forget it, it's a pity that Zhao Ji is such a flower-like woman. ”

Lu Ren's facial muscles twitched a few more times: "Okay, right?" It's not over you! ”

Mi Zhen's face was slightly correct: "Okay, okay, I won't hurt you." But you really have to tell me what the hell is going on, how did you marry her all of a sudden? ”

Lu Ren immediately told Cao Cao about sending his relatives roughly, and Mi Zhen was also at a loss after hearing it. After a long time, Mi Zhen complained faintly: "In this way, this is exactly what Cao Gong meant......"

Lu Ren said: "Who said it wasn't? In fact, I had already told you about this matter earlier, but neither you nor I expected that Lao Cao would come in such a hurry. Forget it, there's no point in talking about these things, I'm in a hurry to call you back, I have something else to discuss with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Lu Ren said: "If nothing else, Lao Cao will soon send troops to Xuzhou, and I, too, may be recruited by Sikong Mansion in the next few days, and then go out with the army." ”

Mi Zhen was stunned, pointed at Lu Ren and said, "Recruit you to go with the army?" Sir, you're not that material...... Oh! I see, this is for you to mix up some military exploits, and then move you back to your important position. ”

Lu Ren nodded. Among the women around him, Mi Zhen has the most social experience, so there is no need to explain too many things here in Mi Zhen.

And Mi Zhen seemed to remember something at this time, and suddenly said: "No wonder, no wonder!" I said that a few days ago, Xun Shizhong came to me and asked me if I could buy some iron to come to Xudu. ”

Lu Ren said dumbly: "Still coming?" Looking for you to buy iron again? Why don't you discuss it with me? You promised? ”

said so, but Lu Ren knew very well in his heart that there were some things that could not be avoided. After mixing for so many years, Lu Ren knew that the consumption of materials in ancient wars was not a joke, and it was often a slightly larger battle that was fought, and tens of thousands of catties of copper, iron, or something disappeared.

In recent years, Cao Cao has almost "no year without levy", the key is that he has lost several battles, and the consumption rate of military materials such as copper and iron is staggering. And now that Cao Cao is preparing to go to Klu Bu, it is reasonable that he urgently needs to replenish a large amount of military supplies. But Lu Ren is a little confused now, in the original historical process, how did the problem of Cao Cao's military supplies be solved?

At this time, Mi Zhen responded to Lu Ren's words: "No! Last time, I caused such a thing, how dare I agree this time? At least I'll have to come back and ask what you mean. But to be honest, some time ago, the Zhen family also sent someone to ask me if their iron goods could still be trafficked to Xu Du since you were dismissed. ”

Lu Ren didn't expect Mi Zhen to bring back such a news, so he locked his eyebrows tightly, and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. And after thinking about it repeatedly, Lu Ren stomped his foot fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Do!" Why not do it? It's a fool not to make money, let alone big money! ”

Mi Zhen said dumbly: "Sir, you, you're okay, right?" Are you sure you still want to sell iron? I said, sir, the last time you sold iron, you were removed from your official position, and if this happened again, wouldn't it hurt your head? Sir, I advise you to think twice. ”

It's no wonder that Mi Zhen is like this, Mi Zhen at this time is still guilty of her momentary recklessness, but she caused Lu Ren to be dismissed, and even Mi Zhen even has an inexplicable resistance to the sale of iron. Now seeing that Lu Ren still sells iron, Mi Zhen is really a little unacceptable.

However, Lu Ren was not very surprised by Mi Zhen's reaction, and just smiled casually at the moment: "I know what you're worried about, but in my opinion, it's because of what happened to me that we want to sell this iron even more!" Yes, I was dismissed because of this iron trafficking, but there are many factors in it that cannot be known. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that Cao Hong had a grudge against me at that time and didn't know the secret secret, he wouldn't have eaten enough to poke out this matter. ”

Mi Zhen nodded, after all, she was one of the main parties at that time.

Lu Ren took a bottle of wine from the side shelf and put it in front of Mi Zhen: "But now you don't have to worry about this problem." Cao Hong is not a stupid guy, after being rectified by Lao Cao, I also lowered my posture in a timely manner to make peace with him, I believe that he will not make any more trouble for us. You can see that he sent this wine the other day, in other words, he and I have a bit of a partnership now. He's a smart guy and knows that working with me is only good and not bad. ”

Mi Zhen took the wine suspiciously and tasted a few sips, and then her face was full of unwillingness: "Is this the grape wine introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions?" Sir, you are so willing to give him the secret recipe of this wine! This kind of good wine, if we make it ourselves, how profitable it is! ”

Lu Ren said angrily: "Why are you like a money fan?" When I see something that can make money, this is my virtue. Well, I ask you, do you have a vineyard? ”

“…… No. ”

"Do you want to handle some of the relationships in the officialdom? Will your eldest brother suffer less in this kind of thing? ”

“…… Sir, you're right, but this iron business ......."

Lu Ren said: "Actually, if you think about it, you can understand, Lao Cao is always fighting, and the demand for copper and iron lance is very large, not that we are unwilling to do copper and iron business, he will not buy copper and iron goods." Now because we have a ready-made way, he will find us first, but if we don't do it, he will also find other businessmen to do it. If that's the case, why should we give away the business that we can make money? ”

Mi Zhen hesitated: "That's right, but ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "I know what you're worried about, but in my opinion, at least in three or five years, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing." I can't say those big things, so I'll make an analogy. We are like a child who was mistaken by the family for stealing the family's money, and after being severely punished by the family, the family found out that the child was to blame. And at this time, how do you think the family will treat this child? ”

Mi Zhen said: "Of course, I feel guilty about this child, and then I will be doubly good to this child...... Oh! I see what the gentleman means! ”

Lu Ren said: "You just understand, I won't say anything superfluous." As for how trafficking works, you're an expert at it, so you just look at it. ”
