Lu Ren was worried about whether Zhao Yu would run into trouble, but Zhao Yu was already in big trouble at this time.

The Qingguo wine shop in Xuchang City was originally made by Lu Ren and Mi Zhen. Later, Lu Ren fled, and the Qingguo Wine Store lost its owner, and was finally bought by Guo Jia somehow. It's just that although Qingguo Wine Shop is still Qingguo Wine Shop, it is already a lot different from the original Qingguo Wine Shop, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current Qingguo Wine Store is just an ordinary wine shop, after all, the "soul" of the current Qingguo Wine Store is no longer there.

Guo Jia will buy such a green fruit wine shop without a "soul", and what he does is by no means to make money. Maybe it's because Guo Jia has too much guilt about Lu Ren in his heart, so he thinks about keeping what Lu Ren left behind.

At this time, in a side room on the second floor of Qingguo Wine Shop, Zhao Yu was already seated in the banquet. It's just that she looked at Guo Jia on the left, and then at Xun Yu on the right, that feeling was really like sitting on pins and needles. With Zhao Yu's ability, it is true that she can knock over these two scribes who don't have much force value with three punches and two kicks and then run away, but Zhao Yu knows very well that if she really does that, the situation will only get out of control.

This is the heavily guarded Xuchang City, she is not sure that she can escape, not to mention that she was entrusted by Lu Ren to bring Xu Shu's mother and son and Shi Tao back? So as a last resort, Zhao Yu didn't dare to do it easily.

Guo Jia at this end took a sip of wine slowly, looked at Xun Yu's old look, and secretly despised Xun Yu in his heart, then he smiled and said to Zhao Yu: "I remember that when you were in Guandu a few years ago, you were just a little girl, but now you are a big girl." It's a pity that you are now a woman dressed as a man, otherwise I would really like to see your female makeup. ”

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Guo......"

Guo Jia waved his hand: "Don't worry, Wen Ruo and I don't plan to do anything to you." Don't worry, Wen Ruo and I will arrest you as a fine worker. As for arresting you and then using it to blackmail Yihao's kid......"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia laughed self-deprecatingly: "First, unless you are Wan'er, you can't blackmail that kid, at most, let that kid take out a lot of rare things to redeem you; Second, I had already failed him at the beginning, and I really didn't want to do anything to be sorry for him. Now that he is at ease, why should I bother him anymore? ”

These words were said to make Zhao Yu not so nervous, and Zhao Yu was indeed a little relieved after listening to it, but it was only a little bit. You must know that although Zhao Yu has not really followed Lu Ren for a lot of time, Lu Ren has not mentioned how powerful Guo Jia's scheming is. Therefore, Zhao Yu did not dare to be a little sloppy in front of Guo Jia.

Xun Yu on the side was a little unbearable, how could he not see how heavy Zhao Yu's precaution against Guo Jia was? At that moment, Xun Yu glared at Guo Jia angrily, and turned to Zhao Yu and said, "Miss Yu, you don't have to worry, Feng Xiao and I brought you here just to ask you how Yihao is doing now." Although he abandoned his official position at the beginning, no matter what, Yihao is always our colleagues and old friends for many years, that's all. ”

Xun Yu's name is big, and Xun Yu's noble character is recognized. So these words were said by Xun Yu, which made Zhao Yu really calm down. After hesitating a little again, Zhao Yu mentioned to Xun Yu and Guo Jia some recent situations about Lu Ren and some things about Yizhou. Of course, what Zhao Yu said was reserved, such as the situation in Yizhou Town. Zhao Yu just described it as a fairly good Linhai village and town. After all, Zhao Yu is one of the more important members of Lu Ren's side, and the priorities that should be given are not only Lu Ren's more advice, but Zhao Yu himself can also grasp it.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia listened carefully. From time to time, I would ask Zhao Yu something. After finishing speaking, Xun Yu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "It's a pity, it's really a pity." If Yihao hadn't abandoned his official position in that anger, he would have gone. With his talent, ranking in Jiuqing is simply an easy matter. And if he is still here, Jizhou, which has been torn apart by war for a long time, believes that it will be decided in less than ten years, how can it be as ...... as it is now"

Cao Cao was ready to build Yecheng into a new base camp, and the production in Jizhou that had been destroyed by the war was not restored so quickly, so it was natural to mobilize a large number of materials from Xuchang. This is understandable, but Xun Yu believes that if Lu Ren is here, he will definitely be able to maximize the use of these materials that have been mobilized in the past. And with such a tuning method as now, I really don't know how much more unnecessary loss will be generated.

Zhao Yu took over the conversation at this time: "Sir, after learning the news of Cao Gong's capture of Yecheng, he once told me that as long as the war in Jizhou subsides, it will be difficult to recover, but it is not difficult to restore production if it is only a preliminary one. As long as Cao Gong is on the list to calm the people, reduce or exempt some people's taxes, and slow down the military affairs a little, it will only take three to five years at most to recover initially. Moreover, there are many talents in Jizhou, and some of them are people who can be used by Cao Gong, there is not much more than him, and there is definitely a lot less than him, it depends on how Cao Gong uses it. On the contrary, if he goes to Jizhou, it is very likely that he will be difficult to convince the public because of his poor background, and most of them will cause dissatisfaction among many families. ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other in surprise, and then shook their heads. After a long time, Guo Jiacai said sneeringly: "It seems that this kid is much more sleek and sophisticated than before." I remember that this kid used to be very shrewd and careful when dealing with such things, and now he has to pay more attention to these things than before......"

Zhao Yu looked at the two of them, and he didn't speak here. In fact, when Lu Ren was talking about these things with Zhao Yu at that time, there were a few words that followed, but Zhao Yu wisely did not say them. And Lu Ren's words in the back are actually very simple, it is nothing more than that while he Lu Ren helps Cao Cao to increase productivity, he will also help Cao Cao to put a large number of black pots on top. With Cao Cao's character, when he needed to appease those clan forces, he would not hesitate to kick Lu Ren out as a scapegoat.

And Lu Ren would not complain blindly when he said such a thing, because Lu Ren knew that when Cao Cao was invincible in the early days, those wealthy families still had some concerns. But after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, those wealthy families seemed to have found a gap where they could attack Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's rear began to become less stable.

As for why those wealthy families did this, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the idea that the landlord class of the scholar clan wants to monopolize the officialdom and the practice of Cao Cao's "meritocracy". And this is also a very key reason why Cao Cao was invincible in the early stage, but it was difficult in the later stage, because Cao Cao's practice greatly touched and destroyed the fundamental interests of the scholar landlord class, which was the mainstream of society at that time.

Under these circumstances, unless Cao Cao could launch a revolution that could change the consciousness of the social form, Cao Cao would only be overwhelmed by the mainstream of society. It is a pity that Cao Cao did not have that ability at all, and the consciousness of the social form at that time was far from reaching the basic conditions for launching that kind of revolution.

In short, this in itself is an irreconcilable contradiction, and politics is an art that requires compromise, so Cao Cao will certainly make certain concessions to them when necessary, when he needs to get the support of the noble landlord class. At this time, Lu Ren, as the main administrator, will naturally become one of the objects that Cao Cao has to sacrifice. Not even to mention Lu Ren, even Xun Yu can be said to be a victim in this situation.

Why? Because on the surface, Xun Yu angered Cao Cao because he blocked Cao Cao's ambition to be a prince, but on closer thought, Cao Cao did not claim the title of emperor in his life, so it can also be considered that Cao Cao did not attach importance to these false names. Then why did Cao Cao insist on being the prince, and even the king in the back? To put it bluntly, Cao Cao at that time was no longer in his own interests, and there were too many people behind him who wanted to share the benefits from Cao Cao's hands.

Therefore, Cao Cao also has to be called a prince and a king, because Cao Cao is not called a king, and those who follow Cao Cao are very likely to get no benefits. And Xun Yu's blockade is tantamount to trying to block the financial route of those people, where will those people be willing?

Of course, Lu Ren wanted to understand that these things were really an afterthought, and where did he think so deeply when he was an official in Xuchang? At that time, Lu Ren just knew that he couldn't offend those wealthy families too much, and he was always playing sidelines when he was governing. At that time, Lu Ren was just going to be a flash after a few years, even if he was offended, it didn't matter if he flashed back to modern times. However, now Lu Ren has to analyze more of this kind of thing because he got out of Yizhou, otherwise he is afraid that it will be unclear how he will die by then.

It's too far to get here, so stop there. It was only said that Xun Yu and Guo Jia had been chatting with Zhao Yu for so long, Guo Jia finally asked: "Yu girl, what is the so-called matter of your coming to Xu Du this time?" I don't believe you're just going back to the same place...... Of course, I don't think you're here to do it. If that kid wants to find out the news of Xu Du, just send a shrewd person to Xu Du, it's not appropriate to send you here at all. When you were in the battle of Guandu, you were a person who made great contributions with the lord, although there are not many people who know you in Xu Du, but there are not a few, and that kid Yihao won't even understand such a simple truth.
