The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Ping said: "I specially purchased a few properties for the adults. Now that the repairs are completed, a banquet is being held there, waiting for the adults."

Lu Ren was overjoyed, and quickly ordered the gold and silver jewelry to be moved into the room, and then said, "Take me there?"

A carriage was called. At this time, the carriage was in the open air. Lu Ren and Chen Ping were sitting on it. They had just arrived on the street, but suddenly they were surrounded by countless people in Huaicheng, shouting: "Long live the prefect!"

"The prefect is invincible!"

"Master Prefect is mighty!"

"With the prefect here, Huaicheng will be worry-free!"

Listening to all kinds of flattery words, Lu Ren felt like the owner of the fief, enjoying the support of his people, and quickly stretched out a hand, constantly waving hello.

But he didn't see that a few people hid behind the crowd, retched, and spoke against their conscience. It was really uncomfortable.I don't know if it will be struck by thunder.

These are the most real portrayals in the hearts of these people at this moment.

Since then, Lu Ren has been able to live a life of intoxication every day. Later, Chen Ping simply did not run away in person, and directly bribed the people who followed Lu Ren. They were all his cronies. I go to see it occasionally.

Lu Ren has long forgotten the idea of ​​crusades against the Qin army, to build a career, and to earn merits, and now he is thinking about how to change his pattern and play at night...

At this time, Liu Rui intentionally or unintentionally, or even deliberately disturbed Lu Ren's good life, whether it was military or civil, he came to inquire, causing Lu Ren to be too annoyed, and he simply waved his hand and said, "General Rui. , you have the final say in everything in Huaicheng, don't disturb me in the future.". ,,.

1162: Recuperate

Since then, Liu Rui has stopped bothering him, and his heart has long been happy. The prefect said that even pigs have insulted the species of pigs, and they are simply stupider than pigs.

Now, whether secretly or openly, these military powers belong to their own rule.

And Lu Ren is more like being taken up by Liu Rui, just a nominal prefect, or even a puppet. The only difference with the puppet is that the puppet is aware of his situation, but Lu Ren has no idea.

At this time, although the Qin army had retreated, there were still many scouts deployed by the Qin army outside, and there were still small strongholds. numerous.

Most of these mountain bandits are made up of refugees and deserters. For various reasons, they have become the population of black households without household registration.

So they organized to rob caravans passing the border.

Liu Rui believes that the benefits of sao Dangshan bandits are very great. For the stubborn mountain bandits, he can directly eliminate them, but those who are there to make a living can be recruited. Many of them are deserters, and they can come back. Treat them with delicious food and drink, continue to serve as soldiers, and let Zhuge Liang indoctrinate them with brainwashing.

Moreover, the population is also the primary productive force. The production and construction of Huaicheng urgently need a large number of people. These recruits can also be used as labor.

At the same time, the extermination of mountain bandits can make business travel unimpeded and reduce the risk factor. Those caravans will definitely thank Liu Rui and give Liu Rui some benefits. The most direct thing is to train troops.

Li Guang and Jiang Wei pulled people out to train in groups one after another, and many of them quickly became more adept at fighting with the army, comrades, and generals.

In fact, this era is an era when all the people are soldiers. Men do not have pure peasants. What they need is to run in with the army, generals and comrades in arms, and finally form a powerful iron army!

Yang Zhi was good at training troops, so Liu Rui instructed Yang Zhi to be in charge of training troops, while Yu Chi Gong was the vanguard. He needed to be familiar with the terrain of the area, so he kept running around with scouts, occasionally running into Qin scouts. Also got a lot of gains.

At this time, Jian Yong found Liu Rui.

Liu Rui was eating at home, and asked Jian Yong to sit down to eat together. He was also polite, and the two chatted while eating.

"Xianhe, why did you come to see me?"

Liu Rui was a little puzzled, why did Jian Yong come to find him at this time?

In fact, everything that should be ordered has been ordered. Chen Ping is responsible for people's livelihood, Zhuge Liang is responsible for training the Bagua formation, and Gai Nie continues to train the swordsman team. Xiao He has the same responsibility.

Jian Yong said straight to the point: "My lord, production is in full swing, but I have an idea."

Hearing Jian Yong's suggestion, Liu Rui hurriedly said, "Speak quickly, just don't hide it."

After wiping away a cold sweat, this Lord was really a little rude when he was fair, so he said: "My Lord, I found that the sharpness of the weapons we produce is much higher than that of any other country, and I think we can sell those captured weapons to others. , replace it with grain and ores, and cloth, etc."

Hearing this, Liu Rui nodded, thinking that this method is feasible. The most important thing in troubled times is food. If you have food, someone will follow you. Although the food in the city is enough for Huaicheng to eat for three or five years, in case There is an accident, such as a natural disaster or something, or like Changping, the two countries have faced each other for several years...

As for weapons, of course, the things they make themselves cannot be given to outsiders. There are some surpluses now, but they can still continue to be stored. Those weapons that have been captured and rewarded can be sold.

"Xianhe, what plan do you have? Just say it." Liu Rui asked.

Jian Yong nodded and replied, "For the ore, we can exchange it with Qin, and we can exchange grain with Wei and Han, or we can buy it with money."

Liu Rui was a little puzzled. Why did he go to Qin for ore and not for grain and wine?

"My lord, think about it, in the future, when we expand, the first thing we will find is the Qin State. If we ask them to exchange food, wouldn't we have exchanged our own food, and then it would be equivalent to no grain storage. Instead, we will only look for Wei State's words. Because I won't tear my face with them..."

Hearing this, Liu Rui understood that he was digging grain from six countries to feed his own people, but because he was fighting the city of Qin, there was still a granary in that city, killing two birds with one stone.

"Not bad, you have to build a good relationship with those businessmen and let them get more horses to trade with us." Liu Rui rubbed his hands, feeling that he was about to rise, and quickly ordered.

Jian Yong took the order, and the two ate for a while, and then Jian Yong left.

Huaicheng is developing and prospering, and Lu Ren is also playing various games in full swing. Even Liu Rui himself is caught in a hot honeymoon with Shuiyue.

After the battle was finally over, Liu Rui promised to accompany Shuiyue well. Naturally, he could not break his promise. Now at home every day, Shuiyue serves delicious food and drink, and goes to bed early and wakes up early.

Enjoying this comfortable life, Liu Rui asked: "Yue'er, if one day I die, what will happen to the people of Huaicheng? Will I leave a name in history?"

In fact, he is just a traveler, and he also brought a golden finger. If he really died, would he leave nothing behind?

Shuiyue quickly covered Liu Rui's mouth, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to say such silly things, you are really a fool, Brother Rui, how can you curse yourself like this."

Liu Rui smiled and grabbed Shuiyue's jade hand, only to hear the latter's coquettish cry, and fell into Liu Rui's arms with a red face.

Liu Rui saw Shuiyue's appearance as a little bird and said distressedly: "Yue'er, you know, I can't give you a stable life, and I can't accompany you every day, just like this."

Shuiyue blushed, leaned her little head against Liu Rui's chest, and said sensible: "Yue'er knows that brother Rui also wants to accompany Yue'er, but brother Rui is someone who does big things, isn't he?"
