Not far from the seafood shop is Lu Ren's garden in Keelung...... That is, Lu Ren originally lived in Keelung before Mangjia City was built. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Lu Ren's family has moved to Mangjia, Lu Ren and the few people in his family still often live here whether they are on business or private matters, so they basically haven't been idle here.

At this moment, Lu Ren was standing on the rooftop enjoying the sea view in the night. You must know that with the gradual improvement of Yizhou's power supply system and personnel, the main streets, offices, and assembly points in Keelung and Mangjia have long been connected to electricity, and they are all bright lights in the middle of the night. In places like the wharf, where there are many and busy things, lighting is indispensable, which has also become one of the major landscapes of Yizhou at this time.

In that era, there was such a scene, and Lu Ren's heart would always be a little complacent, so every time in the middle of the night, he would run to the rooftop and admire his "masterpiece".

After a long time, Lu Ren finally turned around and asked Murong Ziying, who had been standing there quietly, "Ziying, what do you want to say to me?" There is no one else here but you and me, and you can rest assured that you can tell me. ”

Murong Ziying was silent for a long time before responding: "Lu Yizhou, there is something about our tribe returning to Liaoxi......

Lu Ren said: "I was still looking for you and Yu'er to ask about this!" It's been almost half a year, why haven't you two tribes even reacted at all? Autumn is over and it's winter, so do you want to go back in the middle of winter? That way everyone will be very troublesome, okay? ”

Murong Ziying looked at Lu Ren, but shook her head helplessly, and then explained the situation to Lu Ren roughly.

The so-called situation is not simple to say, but it is complicated but it is just like that. Let's put it this way, the two Xianbei tribes of Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu originally defected to Tian Chou when they couldn't get along in western Liaoxi, and then moved to Yizhou under Tian Chou's guidance.

And what is the most fundamental purpose of the relocation of these two Xianbei tribes? To put it bluntly, don't you just want to live a good life? And they themselves are nomadic people, although under the guidance of Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu, they have some willingness to farm and settle, but in general, the concept of the countryside is not strong, and they belong to the type of people who stay at ease wherever they can live a good life.

Therefore, after coming to Yizhou and living a good life of peace and contentment, most of the people in the two tribes habitually regarded Yizhou as their home, and had no desire to return to Liaoxi. And at this point, especially thinking about the living conditions in Yizhou and the living conditions in western Liaoning, this Nima is simply a basement in the sky, okay? They are accustomed to a well-fed and stable life here, and now if they want to go to Liaoxi to live that kind of bitter cold day, how many people will be willing to meow?

So in the next few months, Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu were constantly doing the ideological work of the clansmen...... To be exact, almost only Murong Ziying is doing it, and Tuoba Yu is not very concerned about this matter. After all, compared to Murong Ziying, Tuoba Yu's state of mind seems to be smaller, and Tuoba Yu's clan also prefers the current life.

In short, the final result of the two tribes was that only thirty percent of Murong Ziying's side was willing to follow Murong Ziying's side, and only two percent of Tuoba Yu's side. Counting the personnel, when the two tribes first came to Yizhou, there were only 1,300 or 400 people, and then some more came in pieces, so far less than 3,000.

And two and a half percent of three thousand is just how much? He meowed less than 800 people! And even among these more than 700 people, there are many people who are vacillating between staying and going to Liaoxi. It is for this reason that Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu have not moved much in the past few months.

After listening to Murong Ziying's explanation, Lu Ren himself felt a little crying and laughing. People, who doesn't want to live a peaceful and good life? People who want to do great things or those so-called ascetics are only a minority after all. Looking at Murong Ziying in front of him again, Lu Ren asked with a smile, "Then Ziying, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Murong Ziying said: "I want to go back to Liaoxi, but I ...... manpower."

Lu Ren said: "In other words, you want to ask me to help get some people for you?" ”

Murong Ziying nodded silently.

Lu Ren smiled: "Ziying, I told you at the beginning that I myself am also short of manpower here, so it is impossible to send people to you." If you want to do something in Liaoxi, you still have to rely on yourself. ”

A sense of disappointment suddenly appeared on Murong Ziying's face, and she said, "But Lu Yizhou ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand: "I still say the same thing, it's not that I, Lu Ren, am stingy, but I have a lot of things to deal with myself, and I don't have much spare power in terms of manpower." ”

As he spoke, Lu Ren sat down at the table on the rooftop. There were dishes on the table that had just been packed back from the seafood shop, and Lu Ren reached out and grabbed a spicy crayfish and began to peel the shell: "Seriously, you still have more than 700 people now, even if you remove those who are undecided, no matter what, you can have 3 or 400 people, right?" These three or four hundred people are not small among the many scattered tribes in western Liaoxi, not to mention that you don't have to worry about money and food at all, so do you know how much advantage you have? ”

Murong Ziying frowned: "It's just ......"

Lu Ren dipped the peeled shrimp in some soup and put it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Ziying, don't tell me that the books you read here are all read in vain." Okay, I'll just assume that you really don't understand, then I'll tell you clearly, the situation in western Liaoning is not as good as that of Wadao, Jiaozhou or Nanzhong, and it is impossible for me to directly intervene in it, because once I directly intervene in it, the east will attract the attention of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, and Lao Cao in the southwest will be alert immediately. If that happens, you won't be able to do anything. ”

Murong Ziying was silent again. Just like Lu Ren said, Murong Ziying's books in Yizhou in the past few years have not been read in vain, and there are some things that Murong Ziying's heart is actually very clear. Lu Ren's identity is different, his strength is different, once Lu Ren has something to do in the western Liaoning region, it will immediately touch the sensitive nerves of Liaodong Gongsun and Lao Cao. On the other hand, Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu were originally the Xianbei tribe in Liaoxi, and if they appeared in Liaoxi, they would not be so eye-catching.

Here, Lu Ren continued: "Of course, a large number of people is a powerful many, but a small number of people also has the advantage of having fewer people, and this depends on how you operate it." And I'm still saying the same thing here, although you have fewer people, I can't give you people, but if you want money, food, weapons, and armor, just ask me for it. You have money, food, weapons, and armor, and you are afraid that you will not be able to recruit people in the current western Liaoning? And you are slowly growing from a small tribe with a small number of people, this situation will seem more natural, and Lao Cao and Liaodong will not pay much attention to you. When I notice you, I'm afraid that you have already become the climate and are no longer so easy to deal with. ”

Murong Ziying continued to be silent, but at this time, she nodded heavily to Lu Ren. Then after a while, Murong Ziying finally opened her mouth to Lu Ren and asked, "Lu Yizhou, will you go to Liaoxi in the future?" ”

Lu Ren smiled slyly: "Maybe, maybe not, who knows about this?" But Ziying, you are a young man with ambitions in your heart, and if you do it well, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future. But here I want you to promise me one thing by the apocalypse. ”

Murong Ziying's heart tightened, and she trembled slightly and said to Lu Ren: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I want you to promise me that when you have some improvement, I will go to the court to get you an official like the Liaoxi County Guard, and you must accept it." Well, maybe no one can say anything about our children and grandchildren, but I ask you to do your part as a courtier of a Han courtier to us within three generations of you. ”

Murong Ziying was stunned and responded: "Lu Yizhou, I still don't understand, in fact, with your strength, even if it's ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand: "You don't understand, this is my belief." In fact, people like me who originally didn't have a home can just come when they are young, but as they grow older, the sense of belonging in my heart becomes thicker and thicker. Let's put it this way, Liaoxi is your hometown, so you want to go back and do something, then this big man is my home, a place for me. Maybe the people in my house are messing around all the time and giving me a headache to watch, but it's my home anyway. ”

“……”

Lu Ren's tone became a little cold at this time: "Then I want to warn you in advance." You are a person with ambition and ideas, which is a good thing for a young person. But you also remember to me that if you dare to cause trouble to the Central Plains, then as long as I, Lu Ren, am still here, I will do my best to deal with you. And if you think you can fight with me, just give it a try. ”

Murong Ziying's heart tightened again, and when she looked at the cold gaze that Lu Ren handed over, she finally raised her hand with a little trembling and swore an oath: "I, Murong Ziying, am here today to swear to the gods and ancestors......

After Murong Ziying left, Lu Ren found Xun Yu, who was fiddling with Lu Ren's gramophone in the room with great interest, listening to Cai Yan's piano music records. Xun Yu looked at Lu Ren's expression, and said with a smile: "It's done?" ”

Lu Ren spread his hands: "It should be, right?" However, this young man is not such a person to control, but the situation in western Liaoning, it is useless not to send such a person over to make a trick. ”

Xun Yu said: "It is difficult to have both fish and bear paws. If you want to settle in the north, you really have to send such a person. It's just that Yihao, you need to pay more attention to your chess. (To be continued.) )
