"Xun Gong, I also know this, but I also have my considerations......"

After Lu Ren finished saying this slowly, Xun Yu's brows relaxed slightly, and asked, "Yihao, what do you have in mind?" ”

Lu Ren recalled the few interactions he had with Zhuge Liang at the beginning, and slowly groaned: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not such simple characters, and I am more afraid of Zhuge Liang in comparison. www.biquge.info Because although Liu Bei is a generation of heroes, Liu Bei lacks strategic vision and strategy, and he doesn't know much about internal affairs, so it is not too difficult to deal with Liu Bei.

But Zhuge Liang is not like this. Zhuge Liang is well at governing the country, and I believe that he has long seen that relying too much on business and trade with me will make Liu Shen controlled by me, but now because Liu Bei is eager to expand his army and take Sichuan, he has to make his business with me bigger and bigger. This time I gave Liu Bei a big lesson, as long as I put more effort, it is not impossible for Liu Bei to return in vain in Sichuan. Then Liu Bei will definitely follow Zhuge Liang's advice in the future, gradually strengthen his own internal affairs and economy, and slowly get rid of this situation......"

Xun Yu nodded and said: "Liu Bei is a generation of heroes, and he has thought about it painfully. So Yihao, do you want to force Liu Bei back to Jingzhou from Shuzhong? ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "No, Liu Bei's Shuzhong is still for him to take, after all, the three families I set earlier to restrain each other, Liu Bei can't do it if he doesn't attack Shuzhong." I mean, since Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have realized that it is not good to rely on me too much, then I will simply do what they want, and gradually reduce the business and trade with Jing Xiang to a level that they can afford. ”

Xun Yu was a little confused, what did Lu Ren want to do?

Lu Ren saw that Xun Yu of "Wang Zuozhicai" was also teased by himself, and he was quite complacent in his heart, so he leaned into Xun Yu's ear and whispered a few words. Xun Yu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then suddenly realized, and gave Lu Ren a thumbs up: "You are insidious enough!" ”

"Hahaha! I am also flattered to be able to get such an evaluation from Xun Gong. Well, it was enough for Xun Gong to prepare a telegram to Shi Guangyuan, telling him that the trade between him and Liu Bei could only be slightly relaxed, but it could only be enough to hang Liu Bei's breath and prevent his plan to enter Shu from being hindered, and Zhuge Liang could not use the mutual market to reserve too much grain and grass and military supplies. As for me, I'll arrange it for someone. ”

Xun Yu nodded, smiling without saying a word.

What did Lu Ren say to Xun Yu just now? In fact, Lu Ren just told Xun Yu that he also had a lot of hidden villages in Liangchuan and Hanzhong, and now he was going to let these dark villages in Liangchuan also go into battle.

Just like Lu Ren said at the beginning, Lu Ren is very clear about Zhuge Liang's political talent, and besides, the basic economy of a country cannot be controlled by other countries, which is the minimum common sense of a politician, how could Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang not know? Liu Bei now has a greater dependence on Lu Ren, because the territory he now occupies is not large, his income is relatively limited, and at the same time, he urgently needs to expand his armaments to fight the foundation of Shuzhong. But when Liu Bei's success in taking Shu has a foundation, he will definitely find a way to get rid of this situation of economic dependence, and then Lu Ren's influence on Liu Bei will not be very good...... The most important feature of the smallholder economy is that it is easy to produce a situation of relative self-sufficiency.

But that's the way it is, since Liu Bei has tasted the sweetness of heavy business, he will naturally not give up easily, but Lu Ren is now a candidate of the party, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to be controlled by Liu Bei, and in terms of economy, Lu Ren's control of Liu Bei is inevitably too powerful. Based on this situation, the best thing for Liu Bei's side to do was to find a local merchant who could replace Lu Ren, and take this merchant into his hands and become an exclusive merchant.

Lu Renbu's dark village is now going to play such a role. Break it into pieces, pretending to take refuge in Liu Bei, who will replace Liu Zhang in the future, and become a merchant group that Liu Bei thinks can replace Lu Ren. And because of the seemingly scattered and inconsistent, Liu Bei will also think that these members of the merchant group with weak individual strength can completely control themselves.

In addition, Liu Bei will also suffer a lot at Lu Ren's hands because all the large-scale needs are too dependent on Lu Ren, and then scatter the various needs at hand and hand them over to the single person in the business group to be responsible for them alone, so as to avoid the recurrence of the situation that the independent ambassador is controlled by others...... It's just that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will imagine when they know that these seemingly scattered business groups are still Lu Ren when they know that the real big boss behind them is still Lu Ren?

Speaking of which, this is also a strategic plan that Lu Ren made very early on, because he knew that sooner or later Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would try to get rid of his economic control. Since this is the case, if Lu Ren wants to continue to implement economic control methods, it is only possible to turn things on the surface into "underground work". Lu Ren is looking for opportunities to buy Tianshan Buxia Hidden Village all over the country, except for the previous inquiries and small actions, the real most important purpose is here.

In this regard, there was a very colorful businessman in Chinese history who gave Lu Ren a great beginning, that is, Shen Wansan, a great businessman in the early Ming Dynasty...... At least Shen Wansan in the drama work. Shen Wansan is rich enough to rival the country, and his help to Zhu Yuanzhang is not a little bit, and it can even be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's great achievements are inseparable from Shen Wansan's economic help, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Wansan is one of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding heroes.

It's just that Shen Wansan doesn't participate in politics and has no military power, why would Zhu Yuanzhang get rid of Shen Wansan like all the founding heroes? The reason is very simple, it is because Shen Wansan's financial and economic ability has reached the point where Zhu Yuanzhang feels uncontrollable. And Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bei can be said to have a lot of similarities, Lu Ren's situation far exceeds Shen Wansan, and when Liu Bei has already gotten rid of Lu Ren's control, it will be too late for Lu Ren to do it.

Therefore, if Lu Ren wants to control Liu Bei's economy, it is a better way to withdraw on the surface and secretly let his small business groups act. Then again, Lu Ren is more afraid of Zhuge Liang, but no matter how shrewd and capable you Zhuge Liang are, no matter how respectful you are, it is impossible for you to ask questions about the seemingly scattered members of the small business group one by one and pay attention to them one by one for a long time, right? It is said that Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult, and Lu Ren is a disguised "little ghost" tactic. So after Xun Yu knew Lu Ren's thoughts, he would sigh that Lu Ren was "too insidious".

In addition to these, Lu Ren also has a chess move in his hand, which is Jianning in Nanzhong. If Jianning is controlled by Lu Ren, it will be a knife that can directly attack Shuzhong. In the future, Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang may be able to control the trade route into Shu from Jingzhou, but it is not easy to control from Jianning...... Otherwise, how could Lu Ren attach so much importance to the situation in South China and send Deng Ai over?

Here, Xun Yu smiled and went to the table to write a letter, while Lu Ren picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of fragrant tea. After the darkness, Lu Ren also calmed down, and said in his heart: "Liu Huangrat, Brother Pig, I am far inferior to you in terms of strategy and means, but I am better than knowing the direction of the overall situation and more or less understanding of your personality, so I can walk ahead of you in everything." I didn't know how to use it before, but now I know a lot ......"

Thinking of this, Lu Ren looked at his palm, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have so many advantages, I don't believe that you can really escape my Five Finger Mountain...... Hey, there is no "Journey to the West" these years, and it seems that there is no such thing as "can't escape from Wuzhi Mountain", right? Haha, what do I think? ”

After a while, Xun Yu finished writing the message and handed it to Lu Ren for review. After Lu Ren saw it, he nodded, and asked the attendant to invite Mi Zhu to come, and asked Mi Zhu to rush back to Guangzhou with another letter written by Lu Ren on the surface.

This is also to sell face to Mi Zhu, after all, he will still have to do business with Liu Bei on the bright side in the future, and if he really completely cuts off the trade with Liu Bei on the bright side, then the small business group in Sichuan will make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang suspicious. Not to mention anything else, those small merchant groups can sell anything in the future, but the high-quality weapons and equipment produced in Yiquan will never be sold.

————————————————————

Bombed away Mi Zhu, indirectly can coax Mi Zhen to be happy, Lu Ren can be regarded as a little quieter, so he invited Xun Yu and Liu Ye, who had just returned from inspecting various towns in Yizhou, to have dinner together. While eating and talking, the topic of the three of them focused on the war between Sun Quan and Lao Cao.

Lu Ren and Xun Yu fled from Shouchun in March, and arrived in Yizhou in May, and then Sun Quan's men and Liu Bei's men came in July and August, and then they reorganized Liu Bei, and this time it was October in a blink of an eye.

On the other hand, Lao Cao, although he began to use troops against Sun Quan in the spring of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, was actually mainly deployed in the Hefei area, and there were not many battles. And even if there is a fight, it is just a small battle with Sun Quan of a mutually tentative nature. As for why this happened, Xun Yu told Lu Ren that this was because Lao Cao had just finished beating Ma Chao and Han Sui in the west before, and now he was beating Sun Quan with his backhand, and these northern soldiers needed a time to adapt to the geography and climate along the riverbank, so Lao Cao's approach was to stabilize his position first, and then start after the soldiers got used to it. To put it bluntly, it is half practiced and half played.

"Liu Bei's side is already worry-free. To be honest, Liu Bei came so much this time, and most of them also had a bit of a tentative meaning for Yihao; Cao Mengde's side, I believe there is no need to worry, it is this Sun Quan......"

Lu Ren frowned: "Although Sun Quan is young, he is not an easy person to deal with. ”

Liu Ye here was hiding his face with his hands, but he was picking a fish bone in the root of his teeth with a toothpick, and after hearing Lu Ren's words, he smiled with a little sinister meaning: "General, you kidnapped Wu Hou's sisters." ”

Lu Ren said angrily: "What do I call running away?" Besides, I'm still very good to Sun Shangxiang, aren't I? And when Sun Shangxiang came back before the beginning of spring last year, didn't I ask Sun Shangxiang to bring 3,000 catties of silver to Sun Quan as a Spring Festival gift? In other words, I am polite enough to Sun Quan, as long as he doesn't mess with me, he will still have a little fortune. (To be continued.) )
