“…… Rain girl, what do you mean by that? ”

Facing Guo Jia's question, Zhao Yu replied with an idiot-like look: "Mr. Guo, look what you are talking about!" What's the point of that? Sir, since he is going to make more transactions among Cao Gong's subordinates, how can there be fewer human accidents? ”

"Oh, that's right!"

Guo Jia nodded abruptly. Isn't it all like this? Whether you are an official or in business, the corresponding interpersonal relationships are definitely indispensable. Lu Ren had been an official in Xuchang for a few years, and although he had abandoned the official for several years, no matter how many people had the original connections, they were still there. Now that he is doing business and making money here in Cao Cao, isn't it normal to want to use these connections?

Now that he understands Lu Ren's meaning, it is indeed not a trouble to think about it again, Guo Jia helped Zhao Yu outline this list, like which people are in Nanpi and which people did not follow Cao Cao, all of them help Zhao Yu mark it clearly. Anyway, this is not a military secret, you can inquire about it casually, and it doesn't matter if you tell Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu took back the list and glanced at it hastily, and then asked Guo Jia with some doubts: "Mr. Guo, if I ask you something, I will give gifts one by one according to the people on this list, and I won't cause any misunderstanding from Cao Gong, right?" ”

"Well...... this"

Guo Jia raised his head and thought about it, then shook his head at Zhao Yu and said, "Probably not." That kid Yihao sent you over to give a gift to the lord this time, and the matter was so fanfare, everyone already knew that Yihao wanted to make money in business in the lord's coastal subordinates, so it was reasonable to send some gifts and make connections. The lord is indeed a little overbearing in his actions sometimes, but he will not interfere with the normal interpersonal exchanges between his subordinates. But if you're feeling uneasy, you might as well go and say hello to your lord. In this way, one can not make the lord suspicious, and the other can also make the staff feel a little calm. ”

Zhao Yu immediately nodded again and again.

Guo Jia took the list and looked at it carefully, and suddenly asked, "What about mine?" Why don't you have my share? ”

Zhao Yu responded dumbly: "Hundreds of jars of Yizhou's specialty fruit wine, Mr. Guo, are you still not satisfied?" Among his old acquaintances, other people may have to think about it, but you don't have to think about Mr. Guo. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Although these fruit wines are good. But the strength of the wine is still a little worse. He has been in Yizhou for several years, and he hasn't made some of the mellow wine that he used to sell in Xudu liquor stores? ”

Zhao Yu's heart tightened secretly, and his face said to Guo Jia quietly: "Mr. Guo, you don't know, we have many mountains and little land in Yizhou, and the grain produced itself is not enough for the residents to eat, so we have to buy some from everywhere from time to time." If there is not enough food to eat, where will he use grain to make wine? Because of the dense forests and mountains, there are a lot of fruits, so he switched to using fruits to make wine. After making it, you can sell it and earn some money and food. ”

Yizhou has always claimed that although there is a certain amount of self-produced grain, it is not enough to supply Yizhou's grain needs, so it will buy some grain from time to time. This is a false image deliberately arranged by Lu Ren, in order to make the candidates everywhere think that Yizhou, a barbarian land, is short of food. In that era, most of the people from all walks of life were not interested in an overseas barbarian land with insufficient grain production, which could make Yizhou get a certain guarantee of safety.

At this point, Lu Ren imposed corresponding restrictions on conventional grain wine, otherwise a place where there is not enough self-produced grain to eat will have grain to make wine. Isn't this a slap in the face? In the original historical process, Cao Cao also issued a ban on alcohol in order to save food...... That's what it means, anyway.

So the drink that Yizhou is ordering now. Basically, it is a fruit wine made from various fruits. Fortunately, the alcohol content of the wine itself in that era was not high, and the fruit wine made by Lu Ren was almost the same as the general brewed grain wine in terms of alcohol content, and it could also meet the needs of all aspects.

And Zhao Yu is one of the people who know these inside information, although Lu Ren's advice to Zhao Yu at that time was not much, but he still repeatedly warned Zhao Yu to be careful when talking to Guo Jia, and some key inside information in Yizhou should be paid attention to from time to time. Don't be careless, Guo Jia will be taken out of the way. Then, with the delicacy of Zhao Yu's mind, of course, he will pay great attention to this aspect of things.

But at this moment, Guo Jia didn't think much about it after listening to Zhao Yu's response, but shook his head and sighed: "No wonder this kid Yihao is in a hurry to open a new business road in Hebei, and the food he eats is a little insufficient for himself after making trouble for a long time." But it's a shame to do that, and I've been thinking about the mellow wines he makes for years. Since he left. There is no one else in the capital who can make his kind of mellow and intoxicating wine. ”

This is a bit nonsense, at that time, the general liquor was brewed, but when Lu Ren was in Xuchang, it was distilled, and the alcohol content was naturally higher. However, Lu Ren knew the importance of the secret recipe, and he had never leaked it at the beginning, so to this day, no one in Xuchang can copy the distilled liquor that Lu Ren sold in the Qingguo Liquor Shop.

Zhao Yu was still wary of Guo Jia in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and he didn't say anything more, so he didn't have to say anything to Guo Jia if he wasn't careful.

Guo Jia looked back at Zhao Yu, but the smile on his face gradually put away, and sighed softly: "You came here this time, there were too many messy things before, and I couldn't ask you about Yihao's current situation...... Rain girl, you can be regarded as often following Yihao's side, right? Will that kid mention me in front of others when Yoshiho usually mentions me? ”

“……”

Zhao Yu thought for a while, and then shook his head at Guo Jia and said, "To tell you the truth, if you don't have to, sir, you will never mention Mr. Guo in front of others." Maybe it's because ......"

Guo Jia waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Yu's words: "Needless to say, I understand, after all, I failed him at the beginning." Yu girl, after you go back, help me bring a message to Yihao, just say that I was indeed sorry for him at the beginning, but I have my hardships, and I also have my ethics and persistence as a courtier. If I had to do it again, I would still choose what I had chosen from the beginning. ”

Zhao Yu was silent for a long time, and responded in a low voice: "The original matter, Mr. also mentioned it to me. According to Mr., although he hates you, he can understand why you designed to let Yuan Shang go. It's just that understanding is understanding, but Mr. He can't accept such a thing, so Mr. He chose to leave. And for Mr., who is so far away from you, you can somewhat dilute some of the hatred in your heart, and you can still retain a little bit of brotherhood with Mr. Guo. ”

Guo Jiaqing clearly heard what Zhao Yu said was "let Yuan Shang go", and knew that Lu Ren did not tell others the real situation at that time. And with Guo Jia's understanding of Lu Ren, he also understands that Lu Ren will not easily tell the true situation, after all, if this kind of thing is really made public, the relationship between Lu Ren and Cao Cao will become very bad, and many things will become quite troublesome.

Shaking his head and smiling again, Guo Jia grabbed the wine brought by Zhao Yu, looked up to the sky and sighed lightly: "Yes, Yihao and I have already seen each other, and we can still retain a little bit of old brotherhood like now." If he asks me for a favor, I can help a little bit too...... That's good. ”

After pouring a big sip of wine into his stomach, Guo Jia didn't even bother to wipe his mouth, so he directly sprayed a few stars and said to Zhao Yu: "Girl Yu, after you finish what you need to do and deliver all the gifts that should be given, hurry back to Yizhou." In addition, let me tell you one more thing, I don't believe that Yihao sent you here this time just to give a gift and have a relationship with Lala, but I'm too lazy to ask again. Because I know that this kid Yihao shouldn't be able to do anything against my principles, and I owe him something, so I don't want to cause him any trouble. ”

Zhao Yu's heart was tight again: "Mr. Guo, you ......"

Guo Jiafu waved his hand again: "Go ahead with your own affairs, if you don't have to, don't bother me again." ”

“…… Then, Xiaoyu took her leave. ”

————————————————————

After Zhao Yu left Guo Jia, for the sake of safety, he went to Cao Cao again according to Guo Jia's proposal, and reported to Cao Cao that he was going to give gifts to the people in Cao Ying, and Cao Cao certainly didn't say anything about it.

And so, one gift after another was given to many people. Like Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xia Hou Shuangxiong, the relationship with Lu Ren was very good, and they were naturally the first to receive a gift from Zhao Yu on behalf of Lu Ren, and their reactions were also different. For example, Cao Ren and Xia Houdun, these two belong to the kind of relatively rigid characters, if it weren't for Zhao Yu's approval of Cao Cao's gift-giving, they wouldn't have accepted it; But a guy like Cao Hong...... As soon as he received the gift, he became interested in several of the novelties, and asked Zhao Yu if these things could get agency from Lu Ren. Originally, Lu Ren and Cao Hong had such a dealing, and Cao Hong Ke always remembered it.

The next day, Zhao Yu came to the residence of a certain general with a gift on this day. After informing the doorman, Zhao Yu looked around at this temporary residence, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It's really not easy!" In order not to attract the attention of others, it took so long to finally come here. Just sir, will he really be what you say? According to the news I heard recently, Cao Gong treated him with great grace. With such treatment and grace, will he be willing to give it up? (To be continued.) )
