Chapter 327 Shao Chu Zhiren
"Lu Ren?"
Handsome uncle...... Well, this handsome uncle is actually Yuan Shao, the current overlord of Hebei, as for Yuan Shao's call to be a guest of "Ziyuan", who else can there be besides Xu You?
Looking at Yuan Shao's hand playing with antiques again, although he stopped for a moment, and turned his face sideways to look at Xu You, his attention quickly returned to the antiques in his hand, and he said to Xu You a little carelessly: "Lone seems to have heard of this person." If Lone is not mistaken, this person's expression should be 'Yihao', right? ”
Xu You nodded: "Exactly." ”
Yuan Shao was a little interested, but it was just the kind of interest in chatting after dinner: "Isn't this person only able to plant land and raise silkworms?" Why did you play the art of Qimen Dunjia again? If he really had such magical powers, he wouldn't be just a ...... Hey, what is this Lu Yihao's official position now? ”
Xu You secretly sighed and responded: "To be precise, this Lu Yihao does not have an official position now. ”
Yuan Shaoqi said: "Won't it? White body? He wasn't Ren before...... What kind of official position is coming? ”
Xu You said: "At the beginning, Lu Yihao was just better than Cao Peng. Later, he recommended himself to try Tuntian for meritorious service, and was promoted to Puyang Order by Cao Apu, supervising Puyang Tuntian; The Son of Heaven was reappointed as Xu Duling, and concurrently served as the governor of the Dasi Nong Mansion. In the second year of Jian'an, he promised a large harvest in Tuntian and obtained more than 170,000 grains, which can be said to be the work of this person. ”
Yuan Shao became more and more curious, and even put the antique in his hand back on the shelf: "In this way, this person has a lot of merits, why is he now a vain job?" Oh, what official position is he now? ”
Xu You said: "It's ridiculous. Cao Apu has been mobilizing troops for many years. Although some victories were fought, a lot of defeats were eaten. For example, in the battle of Wancheng, Cao Apu almost lost his life at the hands of Zhang Xiu. Numerous pieces of military equipment have been lost. At the same time, Xudu was newly built, and all kinds of materials were extremely expensive, which came and went, making the copper and iron things around Xudu scarce.
This Lu Ren, as Xu Duling, and also the governor of Su Du supervised Tuntian, saw that there was a shortage of copper and iron utensils, so that many Tuntian refugees did not even have copper hoes and shovels to open up fields and reclaim wasteland. In a hurry, he sent a caravan to buy copper and iron. Perhaps because of the time constraints, he actually issued an exemption order to exempt copper and iron commercial taxes, and as a result, the copper and iron needs around Xudu were solved. However, he was ruthlessly beaten by the officials of the DPRK and China, so he was removed from his official position. ”
Yuan Shao slapped the table and laughed: "Confused, confused!" This copper and iron has always been a heavy tax for the country. How can it be avoided? But it's not just Lu Ren who is confused. Cao Apu is really confused. Although Lu Ren was exempted from copper and iron taxes, after all, it was forced by the situation, and he was not greedy for ink, which is understandable. If this person is good at farming, if he can make meritorious contributions and continue to supervise the tuntian, Cao Agui's territory can also collect more grain and grass. Hey, by the way, (Jian'an) How much grain did you get in three years? ”
Xu You said: "It's only a million thousand." Lu Ren was dismissed before the spring farming in the third year. Therefore, the three years of Xu Du's agricultural affairs were not supervised by Lu Ren at all. ”
Yuan Shao shook his head again and again. There was still a voice in his mouth: "Isn't this less than 700,000 hundred?" It's enough for tens of thousands of troops to eat for half a year, right? I didn't expect Cao Apu to be so shrewd, and he would have such a confused time. If it is changed to Lonely, it will be enough to beat Lu Ren with dozens of military sticks, and then punish him for several months. ”
Xu You praised at the right time: "The lord treats people generously, how can it be compared to Cao Apu?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded smugly, and then asked: "Then since this Lu Ren has been removed from his official position, what happened to Cao Agui's expedition to Xuzhou this time?" And what's going on with that Qimen Dunjia technique? ”
Xu You said with a smile: "Xu Du has lost 700,000 yuan, and Cao Apu also regrets that his intestines are green, of course, he wants to re-recruit Lu Ren as an official." But after all, Lu Ren has committed a serious crime, how can he easily re-enter the court as an official? Isn't that a slap in the face for Cao Apu's own self? Therefore, Cao Apu used his Sikong Mansion to recruit Lu Ren, let Lu Ren go to the battlefield as the head of the army, and then re-entrust Lu Ren with merit after the war, so that at least it is reasonable in front of the officials of the court. ”
Yuan Shao scoffed: "One more move!" It seems that Lone did not go to greet the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and he did nothing wrong. Every time I want to do something, I still have to make false promises with those stupid and incompetent officials, and it's annoying to think about it. As it is now, you just have to do whatever you want. ”
Having said that, Yuan Shao's tone was still a little sour. At the beginning, Yuan Shao did not go to welcome Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but he had such a mentality, but he was preempted by Cao Cao. But afterwards, Yuan Shao realized that Cao Cao had actually picked up a big bargain, and he was even a little controlled by others here, so of course he would be unhappy. To say such a thing now is actually just to deceive yourself and comfort yourself, in other words, "you can't eat grapes are sour".
How could Xu You not understand Yuan Shao's mentality? After flattering Yuan Shao, Xu You continued: "To say that this Lu Ren is indeed quite talented. When Cao Agui was chasing Lu Buyu Xiapi, he left him in Tancheng to appease the people, and he did a very good job......"
Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Don't talk about these, tell me what is going on with his Qimen Dunjia technique." ”
Xu You immediately told Lu Ren about blowing up the gate of Xiapi City. However, it must be made clear here that what Xu You heard was actually rumored for a long time and people didn't know how much oil and vinegar they had added, so as soon as he said it, Yuan Shao's face changed several times, and he said in a deep voice after a long time: "It's strange to be alone, if he really has such thaumaturgy, wouldn't it be easier to lead the troops to fight?" There will be a big battle between Gu and Cao Apu after all, if they face this Lu Ren, they must be guarded against! ”
Xu You smiled again: "My lord, please rest assured, this Lu Ren's Qimen Dunjia technique can't be used indiscriminately." ”
Yuan Shao's eyebrows raised: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Xu You said: "As far as you know, this spirit of heaven and earth, the technique of Dunjia, if it is excessive, it will be sent by heaven." It was also discovered that Lu Ren vomited several liters of blood after administering this operation, and his body was even more seriously ill, and he could not stay for several days. Later, he secretly eavesdropped on the words of the Lu family disciples who served him, and Lu Ren used thaumaturgy to break the Yangshou for two years. ”
Xu You didn't know that this rumor was wrong. In fact, at that time, Lu Ren only claimed to have folded one era and three years of fifteen years of yang life, but it was rumored that this thing was too easy to spread deviations, and it was not uncommon for it to become two eras inexplicably. In this way, Yuan Shao almost didn't jump up: "Yangshou of the two eras? Twenty-four years! How old is this Lu Ren this year? ”
Xu You said: "The year will be thirty. ”
Lu Ren's "landing" was in the fourth year of Chuping, that is, in 193 AD. Lu Ren was about twenty-three years old at the time. It is now the fourth year of Jian'an, that is, the beginning of spring in 199 A.D., and according to the calculation of the imaginary age of the ancients, it is already twenty-nine years old, so Xu You said that Lu Ren is "about thirty years old" at the age of thirty.
And Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time after hearing it before he said, "It's almost thirty?" If he had a 60-year-old lifespan and then two years after 30, wouldn't he have a few years to live? So...... He's lying, isn't he? Even if it's not a lie, then what kind of virtue can Cao Apu have, so that this Lu Ren can almost repay him with death? ”
Xu You shook his head with a wry smile and said, "According to my opinion, it may not be a lie. Although this Lu Ren was originally just a villain, the more such a villain is, the more he hopes to make contributions and leave a name for himself in his lifetime. In addition, it is rumored that this Lu Ren has always been lustful, and Lu Bu happens to have a peerless beauty by his side who is enough to make him salivate but may not be able to get involved. ”
Yuan Shao was stunned and said, "You mean Minchan?" ”
Xu You nodded: "Exactly." Xiapi Chengjian, Cao Apu had the intention of retiring from the army at that time, if Lu Ren asked Cao Apo for a reward for this invitation, Cao Apu's heart would definitely reward him. In fact, on the day after the city was broken, Cao Apu sent Minchan to Lu Ren's side. ”
Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Cao Apu is also a womanizer, will he be willing to give it?" ”
Xu You said: "If you are reluctant, you have to be willing, otherwise Cao Agui will become a person who is untrustworthy and unclear in rewards and punishments in front of many subordinates, and who will work for Cao Agui at that time?" With Cao Agui's cunning nature, he would not have done such unwise things. ”
Yuan Shao nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense!" Cao Apu really wouldn't do this kind of loss-making business. This kid has always been very good at doing this kind of drama of treating people in a vacant position and being a corporal. As for this Lu Ren, just for a stunning beauty, isn't it too stupid? ”
Xu You said: "The lord doesn't know, although this person is quite talented, he has no choice but to be glorious. Even when he travels to Dutun, he always brings beautiful women with him, in order to enjoy himself all the time. He also once said that a man should 'wake up and grasp the affairs of the world and get drunk and lie on the knees of the beauties', but it is too tiring and annoying to wake up and grasp the world, so as long as he can be drunk and lie on the knees of the beauties, it is enough. ”
Yuan Shaole said: "It's a good one who doesn't want to wake up and grasp the affairs of the world, just wants to be drunk and lie on the knees of beauties." Interesting, this Lu Ren is really interesting. And his words do have the flavor of Taoism. ”
It is no wonder that Yuan Shao said this, there are indeed many ideas of timely pleasure in Taoism, at least among the aristocratic level, this kind of thinking is very popular, and it is quite appropriate to link it to the current Lu Ren. But then again, Lu Ren is indeed a hedonist, otherwise he wouldn't always think about leaving this era with Wan'er, returning to his own era to continue to be his rich uncle, and spend all day long.
In fact, at the beginning, Yuan Shao just regarded Lu Ren as an after-dinner chatter and fart, and it had nothing to do with any military and political decisions. However, after learning some things about Lu Ren from Xu You's mouth, Yuan Shao also didn't expect to go up in terms of military and political decision-making, and became interested in Lu Ren:
"Ziyuan, you go to prepare a ...... on behalf of Gu" (to be continued......)
