371. Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-three Reaching an Agreement
After the banquet, Liu Lin followed Zhen Yan to the study. If a man has his own privacy, then the study is his most private place. Zhen Yan's study is not big, with only a simple small table.
There was only a thread-bound version of "Lu's Spring and Autumn" on the table. The book was very old, but it was still placed on the small table. Liu Lin looked at it, his eyes full of doubts. This was obviously inconsistent with his status as a scholarly family.
, Zhen Yan looked at Liu Lin with a smile, and seeing the confusion in Liu Lin's eyes, she said, "Does Marquis Yan feel a little shabby?"
Liu Lin nodded with a smile and said: "Your Zhen family is a big family. The Zhen family is famous all over the world, and there are many great scholars in the family. I thought that the study room of Lord Zhen must be filled with simplicity and fragrance, but I didn't expect it."
, I really didn’t expect that Lord Zhen is so frugal?” After saying that, she shook her head, Zhen Yan stretched out her hand to motion Liu Lin to sit down, and after letting the waiter serve tea, she said: “I like to think about some problems in the study, so
I don't like too many things in the study!" Liu Lin took a deep look at Zhen Yan, then picked up the "Lu's Spring and Autumn" from the small table, flipped through it, and said: "Master Zhen thinks that Lu Buwei
How is this person?"
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Liu Lin meaningfully and said: "Lu Buwei can be said to be an unprecedented master. He has assisted two generations of emperors and achieved great achievements. It can be said that Qin has half of the credit for unifying the world."
! But this person did not know the current affairs, did not know how to advance or retreat, and finally died because of his own arrogance. It can be said that he is neither successful nor defeated!"
Liu Lin's eyes lit up when he heard that, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said: "Listening to you for a while is better than ten years of reading!" After saying this, Liu Lin put "Lu's Spring and Autumn" on the table, raised his hands and said:
"I came here today specifically to meet with the owner of the village and seek ways to stabilize Jizhou!"
Seeing how serious Liu Lin was, Zhen Yan sat up straight, her eyes sparkling, and said: "Jizhou is currently in war, and Yanhou's army is invincible. Yuan Shao's Jizhou army is no match for Yanhou. In addition,
Fenhe was defeated, the morale of the Jizhou army was low, and the people of Jizhou were panicked. It was just when Yanhou's army was annihilating Jizhou in one fell swoop, but Yanhou came to beg me, it would be a bit sacrificing his own strength to seek the end!"
Liu Lin secretly cursed "old fox" in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "I had a deep talk with Magistrate Zhen during the banquet just now, and I know that Magistrate Zhen is really talented. Such a talent is exactly what I need in Youzhou."
Yes, I plan to transfer County Magistrate Zhen to the Mufu Mansion of Youzhou Prefecture to serve as the Land Acres Magistrate, to manage the land under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, and to be responsible for the implementation of the "Land Equalization Order." I wonder what Zhuang's plan is?" Zhen Yanyi
Hearing this, his heart suddenly moved. Although the official position of this Tian Mu Ling was not high, it was in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and this official position had considerable power. He knew that his son was not qualified to be an official and was an honest man, but this Tian Mu Ling was not suitable for him.
It is the most suitable, but Zhen Yan knows that since Liu Lin has thrown out this condition, he wants to get more things, and by letting his son serve as the land leader, he obviously wants to give up the land of the clan, but
Zhen Yan didn't want to hand over the land so easily, she had to get benefits.
Zhen Yan slowly picked up the tea, took a sip, and sighed: "My honest son is very suitable to serve as the land mother. I thank Yan Hou for his trust, but Yan Hou will indeed
Let my honest son be roasted in the fire! Yanhou, you have also seen my two useless grandsons. I am afraid that they will cause trouble for me!" After saying that, he stared at Liu Lin closely.
Hearing this, he sneered in his heart, "You have a big appetite!" However, he did not show it, and just said lightly: "All of our officials in Youzhou were selected through the imperial examination. In my opinion, the talents of the two brothers Zhen should be further trained."
Fan!"
When Zhen Yan heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. Liu Lin glanced at his face and said, "However, recently many of my personal guards have gone to Bingzhou to take up military positions. I am preparing to add some more.
If Lord Zhen is willing to let them follow me through the battle, let them join my personal guard army!" Zhen Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly bowed and said: "Thank you Marquis Yan!"
Zhen Yan knew that this was the last condition Liu Lin offered. If he didn't understand the situation yet, it would be all in vain, so he said: "Marquis Yan, this time the army conquers Jizhou, it is really asking for orders for the people, a teacher of benevolence and righteousness."
, Although my Zhen family is located in a remote place, fortunately, many officials and aristocratic families in Jizhou are close friends with my Zhen family. I am willing to speak for the Marquis of Yan and work for the welfare of the world!" Upon hearing this, Liu Lin stood up and said,
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Master. I believe that with your help, Jizhou will be able to suffer less from the war!" The two looked at each other and nodded heavily.
After Liu Lin reached an agreement with Zhen Yan, he took Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao to the garrison, but Zhen Yan called Zhen Yi into the study. The father and son sat opposite each other and dismissed the waiter.
, Zhen Yan glanced at her son whose face was full of vicissitudes of life, and said: "You will soon be the land muling of Youzhou. This is one of the conditions for Liu Lin to agree to me, and the other two conditions are your two sons!
"Zhen Yi guessed that this was his father's intention when Liu Lin asked them to take away Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, but he didn't expect that he was there. After a burst of surprise, he felt a burst of joy. He couldn't help but
He is good at sociability and is too lazy to pay attention to the filthiness in the officialdom. He just wants to be a pure official. Now this land muling is extremely suitable. Seeing the joy on his son's face, Zhen Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, even though he wanted to change
His son, but he knew his son's temper, so he sighed and said: "This is the last time that my father will help you plan. From today on, you have to make your own decision!"
When Zhen Yi heard Zhen Yan's words, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad. She actually shed tears. Zhen Yan took a deep breath and said: "This time I will pave a bright road for you. As long as you follow what I say, you will be successful in the future."
Your achievements will definitely be limitless!" When Zhen Yi heard this, although he was a little unhappy with what his father said, he still said: "Listen to your father!" Zhen Yan saw Zhen Yi like this, even though he knew that his son must not be happy in his heart.
He liked it, but for the sake of the Zhen family, he couldn't control so much, so he said: "After you serve as the land leader, I will hand over 90% of the Zhen family's land property. In this way, your position as the land leader will be as stable as Mount Tai!" "Father!"
!" When Zhen Yi heard this, she felt a warmth well up in her heart, and couldn't help shouting. Zhen Yan ignored Zhen Yi and said: "This is not enough, I want Mi'er to marry Liu Lin! Become Liu Lin
