Lu Ren's family has moved to Mangjia New Town, and the original mansion in Keelung has now become Lu Ren's garden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this moment, Lu Ren set up a small banquet in this garden to entertain Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu.

After the scene and kind words passed, Murong Ziying, who was relatively calm, finally couldn't help but open her mouth to Lu Ren about a certain question that Lu Ren had been avoiding talking about: "Lu Yizhou, I led my clan to come here by sea, I want to find a place to live here in Lu Yizhou, but I don't know if Lu Yizhou is willing to take in my clan?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Stay, of course you have to stay!" You have come all the way to me to beg for a living here, how can I refuse people thousands of miles away? ”

Saying that, Lu Ren changed his words: "But Ziying, there are some things I want you to understand, since you are here to defect to me and hope that I can take in your clan, then no matter who you are, you must follow my laws and rules here." Ziying: You said that you have been familiar with the scriptures and historical classics of our Han family since you were a child, then you should understand that if there is no law and rules, everything will be messed up, and it will be impossible for me to have today's peace and prosperity in Yizhou. ”

Murong Ziying said: "This is natural! Since we are under the command of Lu Yi Prefecture, we should obey the laws laid down by Lu Yi Prefecture. ”

Lu Ren waved his hand: "Ziying, don't say your words too early." I have dealt with many nomadic tribes in the north, so I know very well that many nomadic tribes simply regard the laws of our Han Dynasty as child's play, and if they agree with them, they will keep them, and if they don't like them, they will just say 'I am not Han' and make trouble.

"Ziying, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you or your people, but as the lord of Yizhou, I must be responsible for the people under my jurisdiction, so I have to say some ugly things in front. Ziying, you and your people want to return to my Yizhou to ask for a life, of course I welcome it, all brothers in the four seas! But if you don't obey my laws here, if you violate my laws and discipline here, don't say anything like 'I'm not Han', and I will never be soft when I move." And when that time comes, you and your people will not say anything that I am embarrassing your tribe. ”

Murong Ziying was silent for a while, and after discussing in a low voice with several elders accompanying him, he said to Lu Ren very solemnly: "Please rest assured that Lu Yizhou will strictly restrain the clansmen......

Lu Ren waved his hand again and said: "I know that a tribe like yours has its own rules, I just want to remind you now, the law I am talking about is the law of the country, and the rules of your tribe are only the family law, once there is something, then the law of the country must be ranked in front of your family law." ”

Murong Ziying nodded heavily and didn't say anything more.

Compared with Murong Ziying, Tuoba Yu on the other side seemed a little unrelenting, since the banquet started to now, she has only eaten a few bites of things indiscriminately, and she doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart in a trance. And several clan elders on her side saw that Murong Ziying had already said what she really needed to say, but Tuoba Yu still looked like she had lost her soul, and she would inevitably be anxious in her heart, so naturally someone would slap Tuoba Yu a few times, which could be regarded as summoning Tuoba Yu's soul back. Then there was another burst of grunting, and Tuoba Yu realized what had just happened, and his eyes turned to Lu Ren.

"Lu Yizhou, our tribe ......"

Lu Ren smiled: "Like Ziying and their clan, I treat your Tuoba clan equally. I just don't know how the Jade Maiden discussed with the elders of your clan? ”

The rumbling just now naturally made Tuoba Yu understand what Lu Ren and Murong Ziying were talking about just now, and those elders also gave their bottom to Tuoba Yu, so Tuoba Yu nodded to Lu Ren again and again: "Lu Yizhou, please rest assured, I and my clansmen will strictly abide by the laws of Yizhou, and once we commit a crime, we will respect Lu Yizhou's intentions, and dare not violate our own intentions." ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Actually, the most important thing is that you have to make it clear to your clansmen that when it comes to enforcing the law, I will treat everyone equally, and there will definitely be no tribal prejudice." In fact, as you know, in addition to the Han and Tu refugees, there are also many Xianbei, Karasuma, Xiongnu, Shanyue, and even extraterritorial tribes that cannot be named (the Southeast Asian islands have basically become Lu Ren's back garden, and of course the fleet sent by Lu Ren has not been less robbed of people from those places), and in front of the law, everyone is the same. ”

Murong Ziying, Tuoba Yu, and their entourage all nodded in unison, and Lu Ren's repeated emphasis on these things naturally had Lu Ren's intentions and necessity.

And at this time, Murong Ziying lost no time in asking Lu Ren, "But I don't know how Lu Yizhou is going to settle down in Xia and Jade Girl's clan?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "This is easy to say, I will first give you two clans three months of food and some corresponding daily necessities, you can use these three months to familiarize yourself with the situation in Yizhou first, and then it depends on what kind of occupation your clansmen are willing to engage in." If you still want to live a traditional nomadic life...... It's not that I embarrass you, the climate and geographical conditions of Yizhou are not suitable for nomadic herding, so some of the nomadic tribes who moved south to Yizhou before were changed to captive poultry for meat under my arrangement, if you are willing, I also welcome you to learn the method of captivity, and provide more good meat for the table of our Yizhou people. ”

Murong Ziying hurriedly said: "Actually, the people in Xia and the clan already have the same farming and food as the Han people, so it is also possible for our tribe to cultivate the land." ”

Tuoba Yu on the other end also hurriedly beckoned: "We too, so do we!" Our tribe has cultivated a lot of land before, if it weren't for the war......"

She was only halfway through her words when she was pressed down by the elders around her.

Lu Ren smiled and said, "That's more convenient." Not long after the establishment of my Mangjia New Town, there is a lot of fertile land in the south of the new city that no one cultivates. I don't collect your taxes for the first year, and it starts from the second year. What do you think? ”

There was another burst of gurgling at both ends, and Lu Ren was not in a hurry to do so. After so many years of mixing, Lu Ren really knew too well the reason why Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu proposed farming, to put it bluntly, they were actually enclosing land for their own clan. And this kind of thing must also be supported by Lu Ren, who has already entered the development of the Yinan area. If you don't give others sweetness, how can others help you?

After a while, the discussion was properly discussed, and it was still Murong Ziying who spoke: "Lu Yizhou is kind, I will take it." It's just that when I first arrived, it was now close to October, and it was too late to cultivate, and Lu Yizhou only gave us three months' ......."

Lu Ren smiled again: "With these three months of supply, you can already support it until the beginning of spring next year." And after the beginning of spring, I will decide how much to provide to you, depending on the situation. Declare in advance, this is not my stinginess, to put it mildly, as far as the seven or eight hundred people of your two clans combined, it will not be a problem for me to raise you casually for ten or eight years.

"The main thing is that I think that some of your two tribesmen will inevitably choose other lifestyles after they are familiar with the situation in Yizhou, such as working in factories or workshops, and their income is also very good, and I don't think you will only rely on the food and utensils I provide to live, right? To tell you the truth, the food I will provide you with is just enough to feed your stomach, and if you want to buy what you like and live your own comfortable life, you still have to rely on your own efforts. To put it mildly, will your tribe waste money and food to feed those who are useless? ”

The two people of Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu immediately understood what Lu Ren meant, that is, don't expect to eat Lu Ren, a big family. But they didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, the attitude of these nomadic tribes towards useless people is really not many times harsher than Lu Ren's attitude, so they can also understand it very well.

The matter has been decided, and the two clans of Murong and Tuoba are of course much more relieved, and the previous restraints have been relaxed a lot, and a feast can only be regarded as the real beginning at this time.

Not to mention the mess, Lu Ren called Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu over, and the three of them shared a table. After a few glasses each, Lu Ren said to the two with a smile: "What I said before is business, and I myself have a request for the two of you, but I don't know if you are willing to agree to come down." Of course, this is just my personal request, and it doesn't matter if you agree to it or not. ”

Murong Ziying clenched his fists: "Lu Yizhou just show it." ”

Lu Ren looked at the two of them again, and then smiled slightly: "You are still young, so I personally hope that you can go to school and read more books." ”

As soon as Lu Ren's words came out, Murong Ziying's eyes lit up at that time. If his ideological concept is to use modern terms, he likes and admires Sinology, but in the past, the conditions were limited, and he naturally did not read many books. You must know that in that era, the spread of books was copied by oneself, and Murong Ziying was only the head of a small tribe, and it was quite rare to get a limited number of books. But now that he heard that Lu Ren suggested that he go to school, he was naturally very happy.

But Tuoba Yu had a different expression. I saw her look at Lu Ren with embarrassment, and squeaked: "Lu Yizhou, can I not go?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "I am suggesting to you, but I am not forcing you, whether you go to study or not is naturally up to you." ”

"That's ......," Tuoba Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Ren smiled when he saw this, while Murong Ziying frowned...... (To be continued.) )
