Volume 3 Sixteenth Banquet Communication

"I can't be soft-hearted to those Japanese people...... Forget it, let's say so, but if you really want me to kill, I probably won't be able to do this, it's just a mouthful. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Xun nodded after listening to Lu Ren's words, and continued: "But my brother said that it is really good that there are many mountains and mines on the island. After we took possession, we let the subjugated tribes open the mountains to mine, and the amount of silver we got during this time surprised even the foolish brothers. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Yes! Not counting the bits and pieces you sent back before, just when you came back for the New Year, the silver you brought back added up to more than 30,000 catties, which is a lot of money. ”

Lu Xun said: "How does my brother plan to use this huge amount of money?" ”

Lu Ren raised his head and thought about it, and smiled again: "Give five thousand catties to Sun Quan." Well, the more than 2,000 Jiangdong disciples borrowed by Lord Sun will give each of them a catty, so that they can go back to Jiangdong for a beautiful New Year. I will suffer a little more for the rest and make up the figure of 3,000 catties for Sun Quan. ”

Lu Xun was surprised and said, "Brother, you are really willing!" With a flick of his hand, five thousand catties of silver were gone. ”

Lu Ren still smiled: "It's not five thousand, it's more than ten thousand or even nearly twenty thousand." The children of Jiangdong all have a pound of hands, how can the children of Yizhou we sent over not give a pound? Counting the naval forces, 20,000 catties is about the same. ”

Lu Xun said: "Brother is really very kind!" ”

Lu Ren said: "If you are willing to give up, you can only get if you are willing to give up, and besides, didn't we still leave 10,000 catties of silver in the warehouse?" Bo Yan, how many of the people are willing to go to war? What's more, the people of Yizhou live a prosperous life, and there are even fewer people who are willing to serve as soldiers and fight. If we are reluctant to give up where we should be, then where will we have soldiers available at that time? Is it really impossible to forcibly conscript ordinary people into the army? ”

That being said, Yizhou's military system is not so bad. Although Lu Ren did not take the route of the military system, under the premise that there are a large number of historical materials, it is not difficult for the whole set of military service system suitable for Yizhou to come out.

I won't go into details, but after listening to Lu Ren's words, Lu Xun said thoughtfully: "Brother, you treat the soldiers of the two places so kindly, do you have another deep meaning?" ”

Lu Ren said: "It's not a deep meaning. You're coming back this year for the New Year, won't we go to Wajima next year? And I always have to use something to tie up between me and Sun Quan, now I let him taste a little sweetness, and it will be much more convenient for Lord Sun to borrow troops after the beginning of spring next year. To put it mildly, even if Sun Quan refuses to borrow it, those Jiangdong children who have tasted the sweetness will go to Wadao with Sun County Lord to make a fortune, do you think they will go with Sun County Lord? ”

Lu Xun smiled dumbly: "Of course, it is a response." Going to Wadao for a year is a pound of silver, not to mention those ordinary peasant children, even if they are foolish brothers, they are very excited when they hear it. ”

Lu Ren scolded with a smile: "Will I still lack your few catties of silver?" Money is meant to be used. Although I seem to have distributed so much silver now, the people have money in their hands, so they will naturally spend it, which can drive the commercial circulation of our Yizhou, so we can get no less benefits. If we dry up and leave this silver in the warehouse as a treasure, then the silver we got will be of little use. ”

Lu Xun nodded, and touched the book from his arms: "What my brother said is the 'economic circulation' academic mentioned in this book, right?" This is the foolish brother who has the order of his brother to be conscripted, otherwise he really wants to go to the academy to study this subject. ”

This time, Lu Ren was dumbfounded. The book in Lu Xun's hand is a textbook in Yizhou Academy, and with Lu Ren and Shirley's skills, it is not too simple to copy such a book. Of course, there is no teacher to teach this aspect of things in Yizhou at present, so more often than not, a group of students who choose to learn this debate with each other, and several papers have come out, and later they were all seen by Lu Ren himself...... There's no way, at this point, only Lu Ren can personally look at it and then score it or something. If Zheng Xuan or Cai Yan were asked to go through and score, believe it or not, Zheng Xuan and Cai Yan, who only understand Confucianism, would be able to tear these business papers apart.

Of course, that kind of person is sour, and really sensible people will naturally understand the practicality of this thing, and it is obvious that Lu Xun is a more sensible person, and Lu Ren is also very pleased with this.

After chatting a few more words, Lu Ren suddenly asked with a sinister smile: "Hey, Bo Yan, is that Himiko pretty?" ”

"Hey!"

Lu Xun waved his hands around: "I'm only in my forties, less than fifty, and I'm not much different from an old woman!" However, when she was young, she should have been quite beautiful, and it is not difficult to know this inferior appearance, after all, the appearance between them is very similar. In addition, the other Wa tribes called witches are also quite beautiful, but they are a little shorter. ”

"Isn't that good? Small and exquisite. How many do you confiscate to play? ”

Lu Xun shook his head: "The foolish brother is still single. Those widows...... Alas, I don't even know what to say about the customs of the Wa people, it is said that the gods, ghosts and witches who preside over the sacrifice are not allowed to do unreasonable things, but they can still preside over the rituals after they have had affairs with men and women. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "You don't understand this, the cultural inheritance between various ethnic groups is different, and we can't put our hard work on their heads." Let me tell you a little more curious thing, do you remember the Greece and Rome that I once mentioned to you? ”

Lu Xun nodded: "Of course I remember, and Rome is also recorded in some ancient books." ”

Lu Ren shook his fingers: "Then I'll tell you something you can't think of." The priestesses of the Greek civilization, when they sacrificed to the gods, were to select strong men to carry out **. In the genealogy of their gods, there are specialized sexual ...... Oh, the gods of **, so when they do ** at the time of the sacrifice, they are showing respect to the corresponding gods. ”

Lu Xun's jaw almost hit the ground: "There is such a thing?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Actually, our ancestors are the same. Don't look at me like that, I'm not talking nonsense. In fact, when our ancestors were still slash-and-burn farming, because of low productivity, many children born could not survive, so if we wanted the continuation of the population, we had to desperately do more and more, and use quantity to make up for quality. ”

Lu Xun was a little confused: "Will this be the case?" ”

Lu Ren also felt that he might have drunk a few more glasses at the moment, and he was a little out of the way, so he smiled and stopped there, and then changed the topic: "Anyway, you don't have to worry too much about those messy things, these barbarians are like this, why bother with them!?" When you go back to Wajima, remember that if they honestly mine and refine silver, they will have enough to eat. If you dare to play any tricks, one word, kill! ”

"Brother......

Lu Ren waved his hand: "Bo Yan, there are some things you don't understand." I'll just say one thing, these guys eat hard and don't eat soft, you should be kind to them, but you must not be too soft-hearted, otherwise they will only gain an inch. If you really keep suppressing them so much that they can't hold their heads up, they will obediently obey them. For these people, being strong is the most important thing, that is, to make them afraid! ”

Lu Xun didn't understand why Lu Ren was so ruthless to the Japanese people, because this had never been like Lu Ren's behavior. To give a simple example, Lu Ren is not like this to the Nanban tribes. However, the current Lu Xun also has an inexplicable belief in Lu Ren, otherwise Lu Ren asked Lu Xun to go to Wadao to kill men and rob women, and Lu Xun would not have done so.

Lu Ren said again: "Regardless of the Japanese people, how about Sanhan?" ”

"It's similar to the Wa people, but the three Hans are stronger than the Wa people, and Goguryeo behind the three Hans is also quite powerful. The younger brother studied in the old days, and the Han family once raised troops to Goguryeo, but returned by land in vain. Taking Jeju first, and then seeking Samhan by sea is indeed a clever move. The mountain road is difficult to navigate, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend in coastal defense. Now that we have captured the northern coastal area of Jeju, we are not able to continue our northward advance for the time being due to limited strength, so we are trying to consolidate the area we have already occupied. ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Slowly seek progress, don't be in a hurry to be greedy for success." Our Yiju must be too far away from Jeju, and if something happens, it is likely that we will not be able to save it. Bo Yan is far above me in the ability to use soldiers, and you should know it in your chest, so you won't talk nonsense as a brother. Well...... Your population base may be a little tight, so it is better to take advantage of the convenience of business to gather as many people as possible from Qingzhou and Youju to move to Jeju. If the situation allows, I will also draw some people from my side who are willing to relocate. ”

Lu Xunfu asked, "What happened between my brother and Wu Hou?" ”

Lu Ren laughed and said, "What? Is Bo Yan worried about me? Don't worry, I dare to do this now because I have no fear. Borrowing business to make profits to build a strong country, do you think it's really that simple? A merchant must have something that he can buy and sell; If you want to have something that can be bought and sold, you must have an adequate agricultural and industrial base; And a sufficient agricultural and industrial base must be supported by sufficient technical knowledge. Bo Yan might as well think about it, my current business can be so big, what is really bad for other candidates? It's so much worse, I can't tell for a while. ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "My brother doesn't understand much, but since my brother knows it, my brother is also a lot more relieved." ”

Lu Ren smiled, suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice and asked, "Bo Yan, you just said that you are single so far?" You're not young! Unfilial piety has three nos, and the queen is a big ......"

Lu Xun's face suddenly became very strange, and he leaned into Lu Ren's ear and whispered a few words. Looking at Lu Ren dumbly, he looked at Lu Xun dumbly, and said in a low voice: "No, no!?" What does she think of you? ”

Lu Xun replied with some frustration: "I don't know ...... either."

Lu Ren smiled bitterly and patted Lu Xun's shoulder and said, "Bo Yan, you really have you!" You dare to fight her idea! I thought you had always wanted to fight Xiaolan's idea. But then again, when did you fall in love with her? (To be continued.) )
