Xuchang's "Football League" is ongoing, and Lu Lan, who completed the opening ceremony, led the team to start a tour in Lao Cao's territory, and the first stop after leaving Xuchang was naturally to Yecheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The next game of the game, the performance of the show, Lao Cao's territory is also very lively. And those literati in Lao Cao's territory also made them a little proud because of the grand occasion at the opening ceremony, and the relevant poems and songs were also written, which can be regarded as a fierce tribute to Sun Quan.

The competition starts on August 15 and is expected to take two months, that is, to end in mid-October. How to say that? This kind of time arrangement is more in line with the concept of agriculture at that time, which is the so-called "martial arts after autumn". But it's not interesting to say more, anyway, there are more than 100 teams, and two months is enough time for them to decide the final winner, and Lu Lan will return to Xuchang for the closing ceremony at the closing ceremony.

Maybe many people will think that this incident is that Emperor Liu Xie and Lao Cao have earned enough prestige, but in fact, it is Lu Ren who earns the most. Let's put it this way, Lu Lan is equivalent to the product spokesperson of Lu Ren Group at this time, and uses this tour to advertise all kinds of things produced in Yizhou, so that people in Lao Cao's territory know that there are so many good things produced in Lu Ren, and more and more people will want to buy Yizhou goods. And Lu Ren told Zhen Mi that after Lu Lan's tour, Yizhou's trade income could increase by one percent, which was actually a very conservative plan.

Well, I won't say much about this, just say that Lu Lan returned to Xuchang after going around Lao Cao, and returned to Yizhou after completing the closing ceremony of the "Football League". As for the champions of the "football leagues...... Hehe, the champion was a team sent by Lu Ren. This is not to say that the team sent by Lu Ren is the strongest, but that the team under Lu Ren has the most thorough understanding of the rules and is the most familiar with it. This is in modern terms, that is, the teams sent by Lu Ren are all professional, while the teams of Cao, Liu and Sun can only be regarded as amateurs.

However, for Cao Liu and Sun Sanjia, Lu Ren's team won the championship, and they are better to accept it, after all, the relationship between Cao Liu and Sun Sanjia and Lu Ren is not bad. And do you really want to talk about this...... Alas, once a lot of things are related to politics, there will always be a little bit of a change of flavor.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, the twenty-first year of Jian'an is about to pass. In the original history, Lao Cao was originally going to be the king in this year, and at the same time, he had to fight Sun Quan on a large scale, and this was also the last southern expedition in Lao Cao's life, so the original twenty-one years of Jian'an were not very peaceful years. But now the situation seems calmer...... Of course, the premise is not to regard Xuchang's "football league" as a grand event, and according to the habits of historians, most of this kind of thing will only be brushed aside.

In August, Lu Ren returned to Yizhou for a month because he wanted him to go back to Yizhou to deal with it personally, but then he went to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation. Now seeing that the New Year is approaching, Lu Ren also returned to Yizhou from Liaodong, which means to spend the New Year with his family. However, according to Lu Ren's joking, the winter in Liaodong is too cold, so he has to go back to Yizhou to spend the winter.

Lu Lan returned to Yizhou after completing the tour, but Cao Chong still stayed in Yizhou to "study", and Lao Cao did not let Cao Chong go back for the New Year. As for why this happened, Lu Ren had some guesses in his heart, but Lu Ren didn't bother to say it.

It's almost the New Year, and of course Yizhou College is on winter vacation. In addition, Lu Ren came back from Liaodong, and Lu Ren's mansion was naturally very lively...... Jian'an is twenty-one years and almost twenty-two years, Lu Feng and Lu Yu are thirteen years old, Lu Qin is almost eleven years old, and Lu Yun is almost nine years old. In addition, Lu You, who was born in early February of the 21st year of Jian'an, has been almost a year now, and Lu Ren has such five children here, and it is difficult not to be lively when the New Year is approaching.

It doesn't matter if other things come to an end, Cao Chong specially visited Lu Ren at this time. But this is nothing special, this is the New Year, Cao Chong came to Lu Ren to pay a New Year's greeting, after all, Cao Chong will be mixed in Yizhou later, and he has to count on Lu Ren to cover him, so Lu Ren is also a gift for the afterlife.

Lu Ren didn't have any other thoughts about Cao Chong. Although it is a bit of a hostage, in general, the attitude towards Cao Chong is not much different from that of Sun Shangxiang. In Lu Ren's words, even if you want to go back, you can go back, and I don't need to stop you, the premise is that you are not afraid of being cheated by Cao Pi.

The visitor is a guest, and of course Lu Ren has to entertain him. After chatting a few words first, he politely asked Cao Chong if he was used to living in Yizhou in the past few months, and Lu Yu ran in with two cups of tea.

Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to this, because under Lu Ren's deliberate guidance, Lu Yu's "special skill" was tea art. In fact, Lu Yu's word "rain" almost used "feather...... Ahem, this is also a certain bad taste of Lu Ren, but under Cai Yan's opposition, he finally used wind and rain. To be honest, the rain is also a little more suitable for girls than the feather.

But bad taste is bad taste, and Lu Ren's arrangement does have his own intentions. You must know that Lu Ren's territory is basically in the southern region except for Liaodong and Wadao, in other words, the main tea producing areas at that time were basically in Lu Ren's hands, and tea is also one of the most important trade goods in Lu Ren's hands. Today, it is not only sold to the inland of China, but also has a considerable share of foreign trade exports.

As the saying goes, "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys", Lu Ren added a sentence later, "But you still have to be able to shout", to put it bluntly, you have to be able to advertise many things. In modern society, it is "corporate culture" or "product culture" that is important, and for Lu Ren in this era, let alone tea, which contains a deep Chinese cultural heritage? What's more, Lu Ren has the intention of cultural erosion to the outside world?

Well, don't go too far, to put it simply, Lu Ren wants Lu Yu to drive the tea culture, and in two or three years, he will simply copy the "Book of Tea" of the tea saint to Lu Yu...... Anyway, for Lu Ren, this kind of "deception and stealing fame" has long been used to it, and it is nothing more than three or five things.

It's just that on this basis, Lu Yu's own tea art must be excellent, and he must reach a certain height, otherwise wouldn't it be too much for Lu Yu to let the whole "Book of Tea" come out? Today, Lu Yu is naughty and mischievous, but his own tea art is indeed outstanding and well-known in Yizhou. Of course, this also has some operations of Lu Ren in it.

So at this time, Lu Yu brought two cups of new tea to Lu Ren and Cao Chong, which seemed normal to Lu Ren and Cao Chong, and Cao Chong was even a little flattered. After all, although Lu Yu is not very old now, due to many reasons, it is not easy to taste a cup of tea made by Lu Yu here in Yizhou.

The tea should be drunk while it is hot, and Lu Ren said hello to Cao Chong and then took a cup of tea. It's just that Lu Ren's sip of tea has just been sipped into his mouth, but Cao Chong over there squirted "poof" to the ground. Lu Ren didn't react at once, thinking that the tea was too hot, and Cao Chong was in a hurry to drink it again, but he didn't want Cao Chong to hold the teacup and smile bitterly at Lu Yu, who was standing beside Lu Ren: "Sister Yu, you're teasing me again!" ”

Lu Ren was stunned, turned his head and looked at Lu Yu, but saw Lu Yu making a grimace at his father and Cao Chong, and then turned around and disappeared. Seeing such a scene, where did Lu Ren still not understand in his heart that Cao Chong had just fallen for Lu Yu's move? Crying and laughing, Lu Ren shook his head at Cao Chong and said, "Cangshu don't want to be surprised!" This little girl was spoiled by me when she was a child. Actually, don't say it's you, even I, who is a dad, have been teased by her. ”

Cao Chong said a few times that it didn't matter, but his expression also darkened slightly, and he was more or less envious: "Fujun, in fact, I envy Fujun's family for this kind of happiness." It's like Sister Rain's trickster, which seems to be a bit presumptuous and rude, but in fact, it's ......"

Cao Chong sighed softly as he spoke, and Lu Ren didn't answer it. However, after these two sentences, Lu Yu came in with another cup of tea, put it in front of Cao Chong with a smile and said, "Brother Cangshu, don't be angry!" It was just a little joke. This cup of tea is no problem, just drink it with confidence. ”

Having said that, Cao Chong was still a little afraid to answer. Lu Yu turned his head to look at Lu Ren, and Lu Ren also understood what Lu Yu meant, so he smiled at Cao Chong and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem with this cup of tea." If there is any more problem, I will really beat this little girl. ”

Cao Chong took the tea when he heard this, and when he tasted it, it was really fragrant and mellow. When he thanked Lu Yu again, Lu Yu smiled sweetly at Cao Chong, and then turned around and disappeared. But it was this sweet smile that actually made Cao Chong a little distracted, and stayed there with a teacup.

Lu Ren was also slightly stunned when he saw this. As a person who has come over, how could Lu Ren not see what kind of reason Cao Chong lost his mind just now? But if you really want to talk about it, Lu Yu's appearance is biased towards his mother Cai Yan, who is a beauty embryo, and as the "eldest princess" of Yizhou, good living conditions ensure the good development of the body, plus he has received a good education from Cai Yan since he was a child, and has cultivated a very outstanding temperament, which makes Lu Yu, who is only thirteen years old this year, already have the charm of a fledgling style.

With the concept that girls in that era could reach the age of fifteen, Lu Yu now can provoke many male animals to give birth to many ideas. And for Lu Ren himself, his baby daughter is already very childlike. In a word, the current Xiao Lu Yu is indeed very attractive.

Lu Ren is also almost fifty years old this year. At such an age, watching his children grow up day by day, it would be nonsense to say that he doesn't have certain thoughts in his heart, but Lu Ren doesn't want his baby daughter to become a victim of politics. In fact, not long ago, Sun Quan and Liu Bei both proposed to Lu Ren, Sun Quan wanted Sun Deng to marry Lu Yu, and Liu Bei ...... Well, I actually want Liu Chan to marry Lu Yu.

There is a problem here, that is, Sun Deng and Liu Chanke are both several years younger than Lu Yu. Sun Deng was born in the fourteenth year of Jian'an, that is, in 209 AD, and Liu Chan was born in the twelfth year of Jian'an, that is, in 207 AD. And what about Lu Yu? The twins Lu Feng and Lu Yu were born in the ninth year of Jian'an, that is, in 204 AD. In other words, Lu Yu is three years older than Liu Chan and five years older than Sun Deng, which is somewhat inappropriate for the traditional Chinese notion that boys should be older than girls.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that whether it is Sun Quan or Liu Bei, the purpose of this is simply to play political marriage, so what does it matter if Lu Yu is a few years older than their baby son? What the? Sun Deng and Liu Chan were still children at this time? Hehe, there was a thing called "hiring a relative" in those years, when both parties were still children, they could book things first.

How could Lu Ren not understand the doorway here? So for Liu Bei and Sun Quan's request, Lu Ren politely refused. Because Lu Ren knew that he was the one who was hugged on the thighs in this matter, it was Liu Bei and Sun Quan who wanted to beg him, and he didn't expect anything from Liu Bei and Sun Quan, so why should he wronged his own baby daughter? In terms of selfishness, Lu Ren doesn't want his baby daughter to become a political victim. Who doesn't want their children to be happy?

However, in this way, Lu Ren will inevitably have some headaches in the future events of Lu Feng and Lu Yu. This is also the fact that Lu Feng and Lu Yu are still young at the moment, and Lu Ren can not think about anything for the time being. But Lu Ren also understands that it is just a matter of time and evening, and in another three or five years, he will not be able to think about it without a headache.

Therefore, at this moment, when Lu Ren saw Cao Chong's distraction, his heart suddenly moved. Then when Cao Chong came back to his senses, Lu Ren smiled quietly and asked: "After I brought Cangshu to Yizhou to enroll in school, it didn't take long for me to go to Liaodong to preside over affairs, and I didn't ask much about messy trivial matters. I saw the little girl tricking you just now, you seem to be saying that she is 'again' tricking you, right? How? Xiaoyu, does she often tease you? ”

Cao Chong smiled bitterly, but in this wry smile, Lu Renzhi seemed to see a little bit of the "cheapness" that men generally have: "Fu Junzhi doesn't have to care, after entering school at ease, Brother Feng and Sister Yu do often make some jokes with Zaixia, but it is just a joke, and there is no malicious intent." At least according to the fact that after the next day, there are countless people who have been tricked by them in Yizhou, and Zai Xia is just one of them. ”

Lu Ren smiled, got up and walked to Cao Chong, stretched out his hand and patted Cao Chong's shoulder and said: "The child's family is not very sensible, and at this age when he likes to play the most, if there is anything excessive, I, who is a father, will make amends to Cangshu on their behalf, and Cangshu, you don't have to remember." I think Cangshu is smart and serious, and I am usually very busy, so I don't have much time to discipline them well, so I hope that Cangshu can keep an eye on them for me, and occasionally they may persuade them more when they make too much trouble. ”

Cao Chong hurriedly saluted and said: "The prince of the palace has an order, and he should obey it." ”

Lu Ren smiled again, walked straight out of the door and came to the porch, looked at the sky and thought: "That's it, if you really do too much, it will have the taste of pulling out seedlings to help grow." Lao Cao will not live for a few years, and it will be destined for Cao Pi to take over Lao Cao's class, so Cao Chong, this kid, will most likely stay with me in the future. This kid is an outstanding talent, but he is destined to not be able to get along with Lao Cao because of his own reasons, so it's not bad for me to use it. As for whether this guy can finally get together with my precious daughter...... Let it be! Alas, being a parent always has to have a headache about these things. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

After that, basically nothing big happened, the battle between the three families was still fought, and Lu Ren was still hiding behind the three families to do his own business, and through trade exchanges, he quietly stuffed a lot of things into the territory of the three families.

If there is anything special that happened during this period, it is that the railways built by Cao, Liu and Sun were completed and opened to traffic. To be honest, it's been several years, and it won't take so long if it's just a simple laying of railway lines, but the problem is that Cao, Liu and Sun all want to master this technology, so they each sent a study group to study in Yizhou, so it took so long to be officially opened.

To be specific, Cao, Liu, and Sun all made sure that they had mastered the complete steam engine technology before they went back. However, Lu Ren scoffed at this, and said in his heart that your basic industry has not kept up, and it is not much use to master these technologies, so let's talk about building a steam engine by yourself. At least at least, I have a deep understanding of things that have technology but can't make things.

To give a simple example, Lu Ren knows how to make AK47, but with the current industrial base of Yizhou, it is not the same that cannot be made? So a lot of things don't think so simply. Everyone knows that rice can be cooked into rice, but if you don't even have a clay pot, then you can cook a chrysanthemum?

Well, this is not nonsense, just say that the railway line on Lao Cao's side is from Xuzhou to Xuchang, the railway line on Liu Bei's side is from Jiangling to Gong'an, and the railway line on Sun Quan's side is from Yuzhang to Pingxiang. Among them, Lao Cao's route is relatively long, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan are relatively short, and this situation can basically be seen as a manifestation of the difference in strength between the three families. Lao Cao is rich and generous, even if it is an experimental laying, it can be laid relatively long, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan are shorter.

But then again, although the railway line laid by Liu Bei and Sun Quan is short, it can connect Guiyang in Shangluren, and its practicality is relatively strong. It is like Sun Quan, and his Pingxiang site can go south to directly connect to Guiyang, and then the coal mines produced in Pingxiang can be sold to Lu Ren to bring Sun Quan a large amount of income, which will not let go of this kind of income for Sun Quan, who has already tasted the sweetness. Moreover, the official appearance of steam locomotives in the inland of China did cause a series of sensations and chain reactions, at least on Lao Cao's side, he had already deliberately wanted to lay new railway lines.

In general, the current situation can be regarded as entering a period of relative peace. Although there were some wars between each other, the overall scale was relatively small. But Lu Ren knew that there was still a very crucial battle to be fought in the near future, at least between Lao Cao and Liu Bei......
