Volume 3 Chapter 25 is slightly more stable
If you want to fool Xun Yu, it's not easy to say it's easy, but it's not difficult to say it's not difficult. What a smart person Xun Yu is in the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion, how could he not know that Lu Ren was probably pretending to be a ghost and playing tricks? It's just that everyone is a smart person, and there is no need to talk about him about some things.
The two Xianbei tribes of Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu will definitely have to make a lot of preparations when they return to the area of western Liaoning, not that they can leave, and Lu Ren will not be in a hurry for a while.
Some people may ask, since you Lu Ren want to attack the idea of the western Liaoning region, why don't you go yourself or send your own people, but you have to let Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu go?
This reason is actually very simple, that is, Lu Ren can't come forward or show his own banner in many things. To use this analogy, if a tiger runs on a certain mountain, then the birds and animals on the mountain will be alert. But if there are just a few monkeys popping up, how many animals will be worried?
Although there was some chaos in the western Liaoning region after the Karasuma of Bangdun was dealt with, if Lu Ren openly intervened, it would immediately arouse the vigilance of Lao Cao in the southwest, and you can imagine how troublesome things will be next; And next to Liaoxi is Liaodong, will the Gongsun clan not be a little vigilant? Therefore, Lu Ren understands that he must not be so open-minded to intervene in that piece of land now.
In contrast, it would not be so noticeable to let Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu, the two Xianbei tribes who had originally lived in that area, go back. They are both Xianbei tribes, Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu are easier to communicate in that area, and they are more familiar with the local geographical environment, and with the support of Lu Ren's money and food in secret, it is easier for them to stand on their heels. When it reaches a certain level, Lu Ren will consider the issue of explicitly interfering in it.
Let's not talk about these first, anyway, Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu have a lot of preparations to make, and they can't get it in a few months, so Lu Ren and Xun Yu want to take advantage of this time to do something else.
First of all, Lu Ren got Xun Yu from Lao Cao, no matter how he said it, he had to pour some cold water on Lao Cao's anger, and by the way, he had to give Lao Cao's scholar class a little face. It happened that not long ago, Zheng Xuan looked for Lu Ren, hoping that Lu Ren could do him a favor...... The old man Zheng who has been in Jian'an for 17 years is 85 years old, and this Nima belongs to the longevity of people in modern society.
But because of his high longevity, Zheng Xuan and the old man Zheng didn't know when he would ascend to heaven, so he hoped that Lu Ren could come forward to get in touch with Lao Cao, and after Zheng Xuan ascended to heaven, Zheng Xuan could be buried back to his hometown Gaomi in Beihai (now Gaomi City, Shandong Province).
How could Lu Ren not agree to such a request? So Lu Ren immediately sent an envoy to greet Lao Cao. Lao Cao is confronting Sun Quan in the area of Misukou at this time, and the envoy will be able to finish the matter soon. And such a famous person in the world can bring Lao Cao a lot of prestige, and Lao Cao naturally has no reason to refuse.
But at the same time, Lu Ren wrote at the right time to dissuade Cao Cao from being a duke. Lao Cao was certainly dissatisfied in his heart, and knew that Lu Ren must have conspired with Xun Yu, but he still gave up for a while.
Of course, Lu Ren knew that Cao Cao's ambition could not be stopped, and the main purpose of this book was also to insist that he was a Hanchen here, not to deviate from the principles of the Han Court, and to put it mildly, it was to pass the motions, and by the way, to earn a good reputation for himself, and then it could be a foreshadowing for the future opposition to Lao Cao's claim to be king.
Xun Yu agreed with Lu Ren's hand. Xun Yu initially helped Lao Cao, and the main purpose was to borrow Lao Cao's hand to bring about the chaos of the Han Court. In other words, Xun Yu is a person who is loyal to the Han family, and the reason why he helped Lao Cao at the beginning was that he had to find Zhong Kui to fight ghosts, but he didn't expect this Zhong Kui to fight ghosts, and he also became a ghost when he beat them. Originally, Xun Yu thought that after Lao Cao was in the world, he could accept Lao Cao to become the "duke" of Liu's foreign surname. But now Cao Cao is in a hurry to become a prince before sweeping the world, and his ambition has made Xun Yu frightened.
And on this issue, Lu Ren also has a lot of things that are not easy to say to Xun Yu. Lu Ren is a person with a strategy, and he knows that Lao Cao has long been carrying out the strategy of supporting a family and fighting a family, and the Xun family's family has grown too fast over the years, and Xun Yu himself is even more because of the old Cao Cao sitting in the rear in the perennial years, and he even has to fight with Lao Cao in terms of personal prestige here in Xuchang. What's even worse is that Xun Yu has more or less protected a lot of people like him because of his loyalty to the Han family, which is something that Lao Cao can't accept.
In the original history, Xun Yu had nowhere to go because he was too closely watched by Lao Cao. But now, what Lu Ren did made Xun Yu's eyes light up. Aside from the aspect of "Gong", the current Lu Ren has good strength, and like the Xuzhou Mi clan, the Zhongshan Zhen clan, and the Wujun Lu clan, they were all clans that couldn't get along in their respective lands, but after moving to Yizhou, what did they prosper like? If Xun Yu's Xun clan moves to Yizhou, it doesn't seem difficult to prosper, right?
Lu Ren is actually quite ambivalent about this. Because the Xun clan is not comparable to ordinary clans, their influence on the Central Plains region is no joke. And now in Yizhou, if Mi's is an agricultural major, Zhen's is a metallurgical major, and Lu's is a shipbuilding major, then Zheng Xuan is an education major.
If Zheng Xuan dies, there will be a big gap in the authority of Yizhou's education, and this gap can be filled by the Xun family. Let's put it this way, if Lu Ren helps the Xun family to open a academy in Yizhou, then this academy can be compared with the original Yingchuan Academy, and now Yizhou also needs a real institution of higher learning, and even Lu Ren has already wanted to name this academy "Tsinghua" a little spoof......
However, if the traditional scholar clan of the Xun clan came to Yizhou, it seemed to be contrary to Lu Ren's long-standing line of not needing the scholar clan. However, the Xun clan can indeed bring a lot of benefits to Lu Ren...... Therefore, Lu Ren's final decision was to transform the Xun clan openly and secretly.
At this time, Xun Yu was fifty years old. According to the news that Lu Ren inquired about, Lao Cao was angry after hearing the news at that time, but he did not investigate Lu Ren's poaching of Xun Yu. Analyze it again, there are two reasons for this, one is that Lao Cao originally wanted to defeat Xun Yu, but now Xun Yu has run away, and the Xun clan has also run a lot of people, which is actually in line with Cao Cao's wishes;
Second, Lu Ren is far away in Yizhou, although Lao Cao can't fight if he wants to, on the other hand, Lu Ren has always seemed to have no interest in the Central Plains at all, so even if he wins Xun Yu, in Lao Cao's opinion, it doesn't seem to pose any threat. Besides, Xun Yu is so old now, maybe he will return to heaven in a few years, and Cao Cao is worried about a chrysanthemum! Of course, if Xun Yu fell into the hands of Liu Bei or Sun Quan, then Cao Cao had to be careful.
For Xun Yu, of course Lu Ren will not let it go. Although Xun Yu has not been in Yizhou for a long time, there will definitely be discomfort in terms of humanistic habits, but even Old Man Zheng can quickly adapt to it, and there is no reason why Xun Yu can't adapt to it. And Xun Yu was one of the most outstanding "big housekeepers" in the Three Kingdoms period, and he came to help Jiang You manage the "house", which is really a hundred and twenty reassuring words.
In turn, Xun Yu knew that Cao Cao's ambition was uncontrollable, and he could only use another way to check and balance it as much as possible. And here, Lu Ren and Xun Yu's ideas have something in common, that is, Lu Ren will develop territory with foreign countries, but the developed territory will still play in the court, showing that Lu Ren has contributed to the opening of the country.
Since ancient times, there is no greater military achievement than to open up territory, and Lu Ren has opened up one territory after another, and insisted on the principle that he is a Hanchen, once the news is transmitted back to the Central Plains, it will undoubtedly form a strong deterrent to all the candidates, so that all the candidates will not dare to act rashly. Of course, this also includes Lao Cao. On this basis, according to what Lu Ren said before, at some point, it can deter Lao Cao, so that Lao Cao does not dare to act rashly......
————————————————————
Not long after Lu Ren returned to Yizhou with Xun Yu, the fleets of Gan Ning and Huang Zhong returned one after another.
According to the previous policy, Gan Ning went to India, and Huang Zhong went to Jakarta to tour Southeast Asia. In the past two years or so, both Gan Ning and Huang Zhong have brought back a large number of people from their respective destinations, and the methods are different. Ganning's Indian trade was mainly based on the purchase of Indian slaves, and of course occasionally grabbed some; Huang Zhong took Jakarta as the center, and mostly used the surrounding areas as an inducement, that is, taking advantage of the excellent living conditions in Yizhou, to lure the indigenous people in Southeast Asia to work in the Yizhou area, or to hire the indigenous people to grow all kinds of goods needed in Yizhou in the local area.
In addition, the northern caravans of Yizhou have never stopped, ensuring the trade routes between Yizhou and the northern coastal area. Moreover, Yizhou absorbed a large number of people from the north at the beginning. With the increasing number of trade exchanges, and the fact that many displaced people from the north came to do "ideological work", it was not difficult for this trade route to attract displaced people from the north to settle in Yizhou. Of course, Lao Cao has strengthened his control over the displaced people, and the number of people who have moved to Yizhou has decreased much in recent years. But people's mentality of pursuing a good life and wanting a better place to live is not so easy to stop. Even in modern society, doesn't this Nima have a professional term called "smuggling"? And Lu Ren simply turned a blind eye to such a thing, and the black household that was caught was thrown into the factory to "work instead of punishment", and when the punishment was almost over, Lu Ren would naturally give you another "regular......
