Chapter sixty-three and nine: see treasure house again
For Zhuge Liang, later generations have always treated him as a monster. He can pinch and calculate, and he can control the wind and rain and spread the beans to make soldiers. The mythical character, even Jia Rong, is not confident at all when facing Zhuge Liang.
On the surface, Jizhou has stabilized, at least when Chen Zhen arrived. For so many years, Chen Zhen has been serving as the commander of Chang'an, responsible for the management of the three auxiliary areas of Chang'an. Chang'an's current situation has a great influence on him.
Because of the relationship, not long after he was ordered to take over Luoyang, he, the governor of Jizhou, really started to take office.
Chen Zhen spent three days carefully reviewing the major and minor matters in Jizhou, and then said clearly: "My lord, I suggest that you marry Zhen Yi's daughter."
Jia Rong almost spit out the tea in his mouth. Chen Zhen has been here for so long and turned over a lot of documents, and he just came up with this sentence. This suggestion is really not good. Which lady in Prince Liang's palace is the same as Jia Rong?
They met in advance, how could they decide on the marriage before meeting each other? He is the King of Liang, so he can just marry a woman who likes him.
Staring.
"Tell me, what's the point?" Jia Rong put down the tea in his hand.
"My lord, Jizhou is stable on the surface, but in reality there are undercurrents. Yuan Shao has ruled Jizhou for many years, paying attention to the aristocratic family, and has won the hearts of the people. Even if it is defeated now, there will still be people who miss Yuan Shao's good deeds back then. Our army's local governance strategies have too many differences with the aristocratic family.
In the conflict, the Xiliang army entered Jizhou with a tyrannical attitude, which to a certain extent greatly damaged the interests of the family. Not to mention their rebellion, some strategies would be difficult to complete without the support of the family, weakening the family.
The aristocratic family has become an empty talk. Once they unite and contact Cao Cao secretly, Jizhou will be unstable, and it is impossible for the lord to hoard 100,000 troops in Jizhou to guard against Cao's army at any time." Chen Zhen calmly continued:
"After marrying Zhen Yi's daughter, the situation will change immediately. The aristocratic families in Jizhou will definitely think that the lord is interested in befriending the aristocratic family. Although our ultimate goal is to weaken them, during this period, they will cooperate carefully and allocate some resources to them.
Interests can easily divide them. The Zhen family is a big family in Jizhou and has a deep foundation. After uniting with the Zhen family, there will be countless benefits. Even if they fight against Cao's army in the future, the Zhen family can contribute money, so why not do it.
"
"After all, you are just thinking about yourself. Why is Jizhou difficult to govern and businessmen are seeking profits? Give them some benefits. Why worry about Jizhou not being stable? The Zhen family has a great business. Is there no family in Chang'an that can compare with him?
, the Wei family and the Mi family are not as rich as the country." Jia Rong retorted. In his heart, he was very opposed to this marriage. How could he have any favorable impression of a woman he had never met before? Marry her back.
It's a waste of time.
"My lord, Jizhou is different from Chang'an. I hope my lord can think twice." Chen Zhen continued to insist.
Guo Jia also stepped forward and said: "My lord, what Mr. Chen said is not true. Please think again."
"You, you two." Jia Rong didn't know what to say for a moment and walked away.
"Fengxiao, do you think my lord will not be angry?" Chen Zhen said.
"Definitely not. We are considering the overall situation of Jizhou." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Let's go, how about having a meal at a restaurant in the city?"
"You kid, you still can't get rid of your drinking problem, but your little body is much stronger." Chen Zhen patted Guo Jiadao.
Guo Jia had a bitter look on his face when he heard this. He had put in a lot of effort to train with the soldiers in the army every day. Thinking of the hardship made him have a headache, but he could only abide by Jia Rong's strict order.
"What? Why don't I tell my lord too?"
"No, no." Chen Zhen waved his hands repeatedly.
"Why are you here? No more training for soldiers?" Jia Rong asked.
"My lord, I am just in the army and I am bored. I am in charge of the navy, so my training on land is naturally less." Gan Ning said.
"What's wrong with the navy?" Jia Rong scolded: "Don't the navy need to fight on land? And those two things must be handed over later."
With a bitter look on Gan Ning's face, he captured Jizhou without any bloodshed. The two things Jia Rong gave him were naturally of no use. However, after hearing the generals in the army talking about how powerful those things were, he felt a little regretful.
Why haven't you tried it?
"My lord, do you think you can leave one for a humble position just in case of emergencies?" Gan Ning said shyly.
"Come with me for a walk. You can discuss this matter with your military advisor later." Jia Rong was too lazy to argue with Gan Ning.
When Gan Ning heard this, he felt even more depressed. Only Jia Xu had always been the one to speak. How could these army generals dare to put forward any conditions in front of him?
"Lord, compared with Chang'an, Jizhou seems a bit desolate." Gan Ning said.
A look of pride appeared on Jia Rong's face, and he smiled and said: "That's natural. Chang'an has gone through many years of development to reach its current situation. In less than ten years, Jizhou can't even think of being compared with Chang'an."
"That's because my lord has guided me well. Under my lord's rule, not to mention ten years, but five years is enough."
"You kid, don't do this, your things must be handed over." Jia Rong said.
"Huh? Baobuzhai?" Jia Rong asked in surprise when he saw the name of the shop not far away.
"Lord, what's wrong?" Gan Ning looked wary.
"Nothing, let's go in and take a look."
"Everything is very ordinary, not even as good as our weapons shop." After walking around the store, Gan Ning muttered dissatisfiedly, obviously disdainful that Baobao Zhai was not worthy of its name.
"Shop, do you have any good treasures?" Jia Rong said to the shop owner who was playing with something with his head down.
"Pick it yourself, the price is written on the side." The shop owner said without looking up.
"Is there anyone who is open for business like this?" Gan Ning's voice suddenly became louder.
The shopkeeper raised his head, took a look, and said in surprise: "Is it you?"
"Haha, I didn't expect that we would meet here again after so many years." Jia Rong said with a smile.
The shopkeeper put down what he was holding and walked towards Jia Rong, which made Gan Ning nervous and couldn't help but put his right hand on his sword.
"The shop is simple and simple. If Prince Liang doesn't give up, you can go to the back room and have a chat." The shop owner said with a smile.
Gan Ning stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you?"
Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "No problem, General Gan, just wait outside."
In the inner room of Baobuzhai, Jia Rong saw the woman from Zhen's Restaurant. Although it was just a glimpse at the time, he still had an impression in his heart.
"I've met you, sir." After the woman saw Jia Rong coming in with the shop owner, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Get up." Jia Rong replied calmly.
"You and I have known each other for many years, but I still don't know your name?" Jia Rong sat upright and said, how can a person who can sell Celestial Silkworm Armor be a vulgar person?
"Lu Huan." The shopkeeper said.
"Now that the King of Liang has captured Jizhou, he has Youzhou and Liangzhou in his hands. He is very proud and has the whole world at his fingertips." The shop owner said.
The woman on the side did not show surprise when she heard the shop owner address Jia Rong. Instead, she kept looking at Jia Rong. She still had some understanding of some of her father's thoughts. She was also a proud and arrogant person.
, naturally I don’t want to marry an unknown person, but Jia Rong’s reputation in the world is so great that it can attract anyone’s attention.
"The shop owner is ridiculous. There are still great princes such as Cao Cao and Liu Biao in the Central Plains. How can we pacify them?"
"The common people want to join the Xiliang army. I wonder if the King of Liang will agree?" Lu Huan stared at Jia Rong and said.
After hearing these words, the woman's body couldn't help but move slightly.
"Oh, the shop owner must know the rules of the Xiliang Army. Even if you and I know each other, if you want to have a status in the army, you still need your own efforts." Jia Rong said, but he was puzzled in his heart. This shop owner has always been
He is so elusive that the things he sells can definitely be called treasures. The Celestial Silkworm Armor on his body has saved him several times when his life was at stake. This shopkeeper can be regarded as half of his savior.
"Don't worry, King Liang. Since Xiaomin has decided to join the Xiliang Army, he must have some skills." Lu Huan said confidently.
"Okay, tell me, what do you want to do in the army?" Jia Rong said.
"The Craftsman's Workshop." Lu Huan was not overwhelmed by Jia Rong's aura at all, and still had a dull look on his face.
"The Craftsman's Workshop?" Jia Rong shook his head slightly. It was an important weapon research site for the Xiliang Army. It was impossible for idlers to get close to it. This Lu Huan wanted to join as soon as he came up. For people with unknown origins, the Craftsman's Workshop was absolutely not allowed.
Will accept it easily.
"Is the recruitment order posted by King Liang just to deceive the people of the world? Although the common people have no ability, if they ask themselves about their craftsmanship, few people in the world can match it." Lu Huan said.
Seeing that Jia Rong still had no intention to move, Lu Huan continued: "Xiaomin is a descendant of Lu Ban."
"Descendants of Lu Ban?" Jia Rong asked in surprise and couldn't help but get up.
"Okay, you will be in the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion today, and you will go to Chang'an with me the next day," Jia Rong said.
Lu Huan glanced at Jia Rong in surprise, lowered his head and said yes.
"Baobao Zhai? I wonder what other treasures are in there?" Jia Rong asked.
"My lord, Baobaozhai is the Lu family's business outside. It can barely maintain the Lu family's daily life. As for the treasures, I'm afraid my lord doesn't like them anymore." Lu Huan said. Now he is nearly fifty years old and can devote himself to it.
Being under the command of the Xiliang Army is also a good choice. It is better than surviving in constant wars. In fact, with the skills of the Lu family, any prince in the Central Plains can achieve development. However, the world has been in turmoil in recent years.
Among them, coupled with his relationship with the Zhen family in Jizhou, he temporarily lived in Jizhou.
