For the Xun family who are ready to help Lu Ren "carry the pole", what is the "heavy money" that Lu Ren intends to give?

If Xun Yu still had a lot of scruples and obscurities between his words when he asked Lu Ren, when Lu Ren arrived in Yingchuan and met Xun You, he talked about these things more directly. Because Lu Renhe knows that Xun Yu is not Xun Yu, Xun Yu is in a sense a complete idealist and a humble gentleman, many things even if Xun Yu has ideas, he can't open his mouth, but Xun Yu is not.

To be precise, Xun Yu is much more realistic than Xun Yu. Xun Yu would be disillusioned with Cao Cao's ideals, and because of his upright and gentlemanly style, he was unwilling to continue to be Cao Cao's "accomplice", so he finally chose to commit suicide. But Xun You, in order to protect himself and his clan, held an attitude of approval at least superficially with Cao Cao's title of King of Wei.

Such a person, since he wants to give him benefits and then ask him to come forward to help Lu Ren do something, it is better to explain what can be explained as much as possible. Because of this kind of thing, only by telling each other frankly can you gain the trust of the other party.

Looking at Xun You here, the Yingchuan Xun family was in turmoil and wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the fame and status of the original family were greatly affected, and the family situation also fell a lot. Although it has not hurt the vitality, judging from the fact that Xun Yu and Xun Yu each want to bring a clan to move to Ji and Shu, the situation is not optimistic.

You must know that the ancients of that era were particularly attached to their hometown, and a wealthy family like Xun, who had a large number of grange industries in a certain region, and even a wealthy family with family symbols such as Yingchuan Academy, would never abandon their families, leave their hometowns, and move their families if it was not a last resort.

When Lu Ren and Xun Yu talked, because there was still a certain amount of obscurity on both sides, Lu Ren also witnessed the current situation of the Xun clan after arriving in Yingchuan Xun's family, and then carefully speculated according to the relevant historical materials at hand, he already understood in his heart that the Xun clan also urgently needed a chance to turn the family over. So Lu Ren boldly made it clear to Xun You that the Xun family wanted to revive the family, and the best way at present was to fully support Cao Cao, and then use Cao Cao's hand to re-establish the Xun family's prestige and reputation.

According to the development trend of the general trend, Xun You's defection to Cao Cao is actually an inevitable thing, and what Lu Ren is doing now is just playing a little clever in the direction of this general trend, that is, before Xun You officially defected to Cao Cao, it is recommended that Xun You first agree with the Tuntian system that Cao Cao is determined to implement in the name of Xun.

In this way, it can not only make Cao Cao, who also needs the support of the wealthy families around Xu and Ying, believe that the Xun family has indeed completely defected to him, but also bring a little meaning of "not entering the camp but making meritorious contributions", which is also very helpful for Cao Cao to directly reuse Xun You. And the advantage that Lu Ren gave to the Xun family is that under the premise of not violating the bottom line of law and discipline, he will take care of the Xun family as much as possible in the development of the agricultural and mulberry industry...... What kind of person Cao Cao is Lu Ren knows relatively well in his heart, so this is indeed the greatest help that Lu Ren can give to the Xun family.

On the other hand, Xun You also knew that the conditions given by Lu Ren had indeed reached the limit that Lu Ren could bear, so he was very satisfied with Lu Ren's frankness. But don't think that the scholar class in the Han Dynasty only knew what "everything is inferior, only reading is high", that was after the Ming and Qing dynasties. In fact, in that era, whoever had more fields, whose fields were planted well, and who harvested more grain meant that whose clan would prosper, and the prosperity of people directly represented how much real family power there would be.

And in times of war, this kind of real family situation is even more important. Now that Lu Ren, a guy who is "good at agriculture and industry", has said that he will take special care of the Xun family's agricultural and mulberry industry, it means that the Xun family will soon be able to recover the vitality of the clan industry, and the two Xun are both officials in Cao Cao's power center, and the situation will become that the Xun family has become a typical wealthy and powerful clan. When Er Xun's career is smooth, the glory of the Xun family in the past will be just around the corner, so Xun You is very much in favor of Lu Ren's approach.

The so-called approach is that the Xun clan must take the lead in responding to Cao Cao's recruitment of people in Tuntian before all the wealthy families in the Xu and Ying areas. Lu Ren's original intention was just to let Xun You come forward, and sigh a few words in the list text, "This is a move for the benefit of the country and the people", anyway, it is to give a head to the people who want to apply but dare not apply. However, Xun You's idea was even bolder, saying that he would directly send some of Xun's children to recruit Tuntian! And some of the Xun clan's disciples in Xun You's mouth turned out to be one-third of Xun You's clan, more than a thousand people!

To be honest, Lu Ren had also been mixed in the late Han Dynasty for a few years, although he knew that the clan power in the late Han Dynasty would be very exaggerated, but he was still shocked when he heard that there were three or four thousand people in this branch of Xun You. At the beginning of getting rid of the Tian family in Puyang, Lu Ren calculated that if the Tian family included domestic slaves, servants and the like, the total number of people was about 4,000, which was not a small number for Lu Ren.

But compared with a real family like the Xun family, the Tian family is really not enough. You must know that this is the number of clans of the Xun clan after being destroyed and relocated by war, and it has not counted the one that Xun Yu brought to Jizhou. After a cursory calculation, I came to the conclusion that the Xun clan was in its heyday, and it was only afraid that the total number of clan populations exceeded 20,000 - this was the real first-class family!

And Xun You sent the children of the clan to recruit Tuntian for two purposes. The first is not to do façade work, but to use this incident to show that the Xun family truly and thoroughly supports Cao Cao; The second is a little bit of a taste of grabbing the "first pot of gold", which is specifically manifested in the fact that the Xun clan was the first to support Cao Cao's Tuntian and sent the children of the clan to Tuntian, then in the end, Lu Ren could justifiably give priority to the first people to be recruited to borrow and cultivate Xun's land.

As mentioned earlier, the number of people from wealthy families in the Xu and Ying areas has decreased sharply due to the war, and there are a lot of empty fields but no one cultivates them. Rather than let it go to waste, it is better to lend it to the government to cultivate and then easily earn that 20% of the income. Anyway, Xun's fields produce a lot, and the real worry is that no one will plant them. If the government can send people to farm, although the income will be a little less, it is also several times stronger than no grain harvest, isn't it? And this kind of account, which is somewhat similar to "no business" and "small profits but quick turnover", where can a shrewd person like Xun Yu not be calculated? In a word, Xun You also wants to "snatch labor" in disguise.

And this has a great advantage, that is, it will not be said that Lu Ren is "abusing power for personal gain...... Who made the other wealthy people react so slowly? The Xun family was the first to support the tuntian system, and the first to agree to lend the land to the government to give the tuntian, of course the government should give priority to the Xun family, right? When you don't know each other react, hehe, the people of Tuntian here in Lu Ren have almost raised their tricks, and Xintian has been reclaimed enough. Do you want Lu Ren to send someone to borrow and plough your field? Hmph, I'm sorry, Lao Tzu doesn't have extra people to farm, you wealthy people can figure it out by yourself!

Turning back to the Xun family, Lu Ren and the Xun family can borrow and cultivate for five or six years in one breath in the name of the government's "fear of Xun family's repentance", and then the official public list and text contract, and the other wealthy families will be as bad as the Xun family will make a lot of money and grain, because the Xun family can justifiably rely on this legally protected "borrowed farming" period to obtain a large amount of money and grain to restore the strength of the clan, and at the same time, it can also leave other wealthy families who have no access to farming labor far behind, and this is what Xun Yu wants. Xun's Zhongxing plan".

It is said that at this point, Lu Ren's purpose has actually been achieved, and as for giving himself some benefits by the way, Lu Ren has not thought much about it. First of all, to do things under Cao Cao, it is best not to play small actions to enrich oneself, although Cao Cao will have a certain degree of tolerance for capable talents, but Lu Ren knows very well that his next recruitment of people in Tuntian will definitely offend many wealthy families, and these wealthy families can speak above the court.

If this accidentally falls into the hands of others, and Cao Cao in this period wants to give some face to the people in the court to a certain extent, if something really happens, he will not be able to protect Lu Ren, then Lu Ren will not die ugly at that time? Besides, Lu Renchao has been three and a half years now, and he will be able to wear Wan'er back with him in another three and a half years, so what do you need to do with those things outside the body that you get from filling your pockets? Therefore, the current Lu Ren has always deliberately maintained a "clean" style......

But what Lu Ren didn't expect was that he was going to give the Xun family enough benefits here, and in turn, the Xun family also gave him a big gift here. But this gift is not a rich silk gold bead and a delicate maid. Then again, these things were stuffed into Lu Ren, and Lu Ren would never dare to ask for them, because wouldn't that be a clear bribe to Lu Ren, and then give the handle to someone else's hands? Even if Lu Ren dared to accept it, the Xun clan would not be so subordinate, and openly bribe, okay?

Therefore, the big gift that Xun gave to Lu Ren is enough for Lu Ren to be inexhaustible in his life in this era, and it is by no means a super gift comparable to money and property, and this gift is actually just two words: fame.

In fact, Xun also has to do this. Talking day and night, Lu Ren and Xun You only preliminarily completed the "Xun's Zhongxing plan", and the so-called "preliminary" means that the entire plan revolves around the Xun family. The main reason was that the time was too short at that time, and Lu Ren was not a successful politician, but he just felt that as long as the Xun family was done, Lu Ren did not think about other things.

Of course, this is also related to Lu Ren's mentality that he is ready to mix for another three and a half years, and at most four years will be able to flash people. After all, farming itself is a very time-consuming matter, and according to Lu Ren's calculations, it will take at least two brilliant autumn harvests to attract the attention of the wealthy families, which will take two years.

And if he made Cao Cao a rich man, Cao Cao would be reluctant to kill himself, a "fortune boy", but this is another thing that will take a long time to be revealed. At that time, I'm afraid that Lu Ren would have already taken Wan'er with him, and he didn't have to pay attention to any "sequelae" and the like, so Lu Ren didn't think about anything in his own regard.

But Xun You is different, his thoughts are far more thoughtful than Lu Ren's. After Lu Ren left the next day, Xun You once again repeatedly considered this "Xun's Zhongxing plan", and soon found that Lu Ren had considered his own reputation......
