The 207th Episode Relaxing at Home
An inexplicable court dispute involving Lu Ren was temporarily suppressed, and then how did the beautiful combination of Zhen Jiang and Mi Zhen operate the 30,000 catties of iron, Lu Ren really didn't bother to ask. Anyway, with Xun Yu and Liu Ye staring, why did Lu Ren bother with that? Lu Ren already has a lot of things on hand, and he really can't spare any time and energy to pay attention to them.
However, Zhen Jiang is still trying to get close to Lu Cheng, and from time to time he will mention to Lu Cheng which family in Zhongshan is more compatible with Lu Cheng, and it seems that he wants Lu Cheng to get married and have children as soon as possible. Lu Cheng was so annoyed that he simply hid in the child's house. In this regard, Zhen Jiang deliberately wanted Lu Ren to come forward, but Lu Ren just smiled and shook his head, and told Zhen Jiang very vaguely not to be too much, and being too anxious would only have the opposite effect. Seeing Lu Ren's attitude, Zhen Jiang had no choice but to give up for the time being.
Compared with Zhen Jiang's impatience, Zhen Mi is obviously much calmer. Although he would come to greet Lu Ren from time to time, he would never mention Lu Cheng's matter in front of Lu Ren, which also made Lu Ren particularly appreciate Zhen Mi. not only admires Zhen Mi's beauty and moving, but also appreciates that Zhen Mi can be so sensible and knowledgeable at such a young age.
Then again, Zhen Mi's good moral character since he was a child has also been affirmed in historical materials. In addition, in Lu Ren's opinion, Zhen Mi's personality is actually quite quiet, subtle and reserved, giving people the feeling that she is as soft as water, and she is by no means like a queen like in a game work of her era...... But to be honest, most of the female characters in that game series are actually quite nonsense, and Zhen Mi is just one of them. (Ahem, the bottle is talking about the Warriors of the Three Kingdoms series, especially Queen Zhen in 355 holding a long whip, Queen Fan said fully.) )
Of course, although Lu Ren kept Zhen Mi YY in his mind, he didn't dare to do anything inappropriate to Zhen Mi, and even avoided Zhen Mi more or less. After a few years of mixed up, what women can touch and what women can't touch, Lu Ren's heart is very clear.
But a girl like Zhen Mi is really too sultry, even though she is only fourteen or five years old now, even if she just glances at each other when greeting each other, it will make Lu Ren rise up with a feeling of ice and fire/five/heavy heaven for no reason, which makes Lu Ren really unbearable. In desperation, Lu Ren had no choice but to choose "out of sight is clean" and avoid Zhen Mi as much as possible.
The Zhen family now has a certain relationship with the Xuchang court, and Cao Cao here wants to obtain a considerable amount of copper and iron materials from the Zhen family, to paraphrase a modern society, that is, Cao Cao and the Zhen family have a relationship similar to that of a strategic material trading partner...... Hey, how do you write dead words? Don't steal it when the time comes, but it will be cheaper Lao Cao said.
But when she turned around, Wan'er poured a little mold, because Lu Ren was provoked too fiercely, and the evil fire all over her body could only burn on Wan'er's body in the end, causing Wan'er to almost can't even get off the bed in the early morning of those days......
He didn't say a word, only said that the 30,000 catties of iron were gradually circulating to the place where it should go, and the caravan goods of the Zhen family returning to Zhongshan were also in place step by step, basically just waiting for the warm spring snow to melt and return to Zhongshan. These things had nothing to do with Lu Ren, and Lu Ren didn't take care of it, and when he saw that everything was going well, he didn't take it to heart, and completely handed it over to Zhen Jiang and Mi Zhen to take care of, and he was still busy with his own related government affairs.
In fact, it is winter now, the autumn harvest has long ended, and the grain and grass in various places have been stored for a long time, in other words, it is already the agricultural slack season, and it stands to reason that Lu Ren does not have to be as busy as before. But Lu Ren didn't dare to slack off, but considered water conservancy projects in various places at this time.
Lu Ren knew very well that many of the water conservancy projects he carried out when he arrived in Xuchang in the autumn and winter of last year were actually emergency projects, and that water conservancy projects that really had a long-term effect could not be completed in a hurry in a few months. Now that this year's cultivation is over, many of the water conservancy projects that were built last year need to be improved, or at least repaired.
Not to mention anything else, Lu Renke still remembers that at the beginning of this year, there was a situation where the water conservancy officials were lazy for a while, but they almost destroyed hundreds of acres of fertile land, so Lu Ren is now very concerned about this matter, and the orders issued are also quite strict.
However, at this time, Xuchang's tuntian has a rough prototype after a year of operation, so now Lu Ren does not have to go to each tun to inspect after the autumn harvest like last year, as long as each tun sends the relevant drawings to Lu Ren, and Lu Ren will review and approve them before returning them. So now Lu Ren is really much more relaxed than in previous years, and if there is nothing important, he doesn't even have to go to the Command Office.
Anyway, the relevant civil affairs and public security are in charge of Cheng and Wei, and Lu Ren is just in charge of the affairs of Tuntian, which is what he and Cao Cao agreed at the beginning, and Xun Yu turned a blind eye to this. And then again, everyone knows that Lu Ren's study is a database of farming and water conservancy, and Lu Ren has to consult relevant information at any time if he wants to deal with the affairs of Tuntian farming and water conservancy.
In fact, this is also Lu Ren's intention, after all, it is really boring to sit in the office of the agency. Moreover, Lu Ren's purpose in doing this is also to reduce contact with bureaucrats as much as possible, to put it simply, he is learning Jia Xu's "close the door and keep to yourself, and retreat without selfish friends". There are still about three years to wear back with Wan'er, so as not to cause trouble, the most important thing is to finish the more than three years peacefully.
Anyway, the weather was not good that day, and it was raining a little, so Lu Ren asked people to go to the office to say hello, saying that he was "occasionally infected with a small cold disease" and did not go to the office. The people in the office actually knew Lu Ren's point, and no one would say anything about Lu Ren, if there was really something, just go directly to Lu Ren's mansion. As for Lu Ren himself, he hid in the study and lit the stove, comfortably reviewing the government affairs materials in his hand.
He was busy here, the door of the study was pushed open, but it was Wan'er who led Zhen Mi to the study. After putting down the refreshments and greeting each other, Zhen Mi asked Lu Ren, "Ling Jun forgive me, Mi has some personal matters here and wants to ask Ling Jun." ”
Lu Renxin said that you don't want to ask Lu Cheng about it, right? However, everyone else is sitting in front of them at this time, and they have to let others say it, so they signal Zhen Mi but it doesn't matter.
Zhen Mi hesitated: "Most of the iron brought by Mi and the eldest sister has been sold out, and many other groceries have also been sold out, so my Zhen business trip has gained a lot of money." According to the original agreement with Ling Jun, I, Zhen, want to buy a house and land in Xudu. It's just that this land has not been easy to buy since ancient times, and Ling Jun is unwilling to use the right privately in violation of the law, so can this land really be purchased? ”
Lu Renxin said that you were worried about this? Immediately, he shook his head and smiled at Zhen Mi: "You can rest assured about this matter." In fact, after several major turmoil, the Central Plains is already vast and sparsely populated. In the vicinity of this capital alone, there are many ownerless fields that have been nationalized according to the imperial decree. Although many of them are already being cultivated by recruited tun people, there are still quite a lot of acres of land that are not cultivated. So all along, Cao ...... The court also hoped that wealthy clans from other places would move to Xudu to purchase these acres, so that the land would not be barren, and the household registration would be enriched, and then more taxes would be collected to fill the treasury. ”
Zhen Mi let out an "oh" and nodded reassuringly.
Lu Ren continued: "It's inconvenient for me to meddle in this matter, but as long as you follow the law and don't play any tricks, there will be no problem." ”
Zhen Mi nodded again, and then looked around Lu Ren's study. After a while, Zhen Mi asked Lu Ren with some hesitation if he could borrow a few books to read back.
Lu Ren smiled: "Miss Zhen, I have all the records about water conservancy and farming here, and there are basically no classics of history. If you're looking to borrow those books......" and shook his head.
The history books say that Zhen Mi has been "not easy to tease" since she was a child, "likes books, knows words, and uses the pen and inkstone of her brothers", which shows that Zhen Mi is a woman who likes to read and fiddle with literature and ink. Ever since I temporarily lived in Lu Ren's mansion, I have always been itchy to see so many books in Lu Ren's study. Now that he finally opened such a mouth to Lu Ren but was rejected by Lu Ren, Zhen Mi will of course be a little disappointed.
In fact, Lu Ren is not rejecting Zhen Mi, but he does have some things about water conservancy and farming that he copied here, and the professional nature is too strong, and it is a bit of a literary and artistic young woman like Zhen Mi to read science books. But at this time, Wan'er on the side remembered something, turned her head to Lu Ren and said, "The Lord actually has some scriptures and history books here, so you might as well lend them to Miss Zhen to read." ”
Lu Ren was stunned: "Is there one?" ”
Wan'er nodded, got up and left her seat and searched for Lu Ren's bookshelf. After a while, Wan'er found several rolls of Jane Chun that had been covered with some dust, wiped off the dust, and handed them to Lu Ren. Lu Ren was stunned when he opened it, the volume he unfolded was actually Ban Gu's "Book of Han", and then he looked at the handwriting Lu Ren understood, these are not agricultural and water conservancy Jane, they were written by Cai Yan when he was here. At that time, Cai Yan was basically in a state of idleness here, and when he was bored, he wrote down some things he remembered, which could be regarded as finding something to do.
Smiled for no reason, Lu Ren asked Wan'er to find out all this kind of Jian Zhen and lend it to Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi only looked at it twice and was surprised by the neat and beautiful words on Jian Zhen, and then naturally learned from Lu Ren and Wan'er that Cai Yan had lived here with Lu Ren for a period of time. In the conversation, it is not difficult to see that Zhen Mi has a little yearning for Cai Yan's talent.
