Hearing what Dong Zhuo said, the smile on Li Ru's face couldn't help but froze.
He obviously did not expect that his father-in-law would actually say such a thing.
Liu Cheng was also surprised and heartbroken at the same time.
The reason why Liu Cheng was in a hurry and rushed to Chang'an all the way was a dusty journey. In addition to the previous reasons, there was another important thing, which was that he wanted to personally take charge of the farming affairs!
Farming is a matter that affects so many people who have been relocated and have no one to rely on. Once it is done well, it can gain great support from the people.
This can be seen by looking at the reaction of the people who were rescued by Liu Cheng and resettled in the fields when they treated Liu Cheng.
In addition to these, there is another reason.
This reason is that Liu Chenggong has been working in the army since entering Luoyang until now.
Now, he has achieved great results relying on the army, and it is time to go outside the army to see if he can get some other gains and make the road wider...
Taking charge of the farming affairs is a very good opportunity...
As a result, before he could open his mouth, Dong Zhuo had already opened his mouth and ordered Li Ru's general.
How can this not make Liu Cheng feel uncomfortable?
While Liu Cheng was waiting with a smile on his face, but actually full of nervousness in his heart, Li Ru, who was stunned for a moment, finally spoke.
"Father-in-law, this, this son-in-law is not good at these things!
When I heard about the arrangement of the people, I felt very worried. I asked my son-in-law to do it. I was afraid that if the strategy was good, my son-in-law would make a mess...
It's better to let Ke De do this.
This matter was originally brought up by Kede. He knew in his heart what was important and what should be done.
Moreover, he has already done such a thing in Mianchi and has experience..."
Li Ru quickly refused and pushed the thing on Liu Cheng's head.
Now, he had just settled down to study for less than two days, exploring the new arithmetic given to him by Liu Cheng. He had explored the alley and was fascinated. How could he accept this?
The matter of farming involves so many people and things. It is obvious at a glance that it cannot be done in a day or two. Li Ru, who likes learning, will naturally not take it.
If Dong Zhuo had personally ordered the general before, Li Ru could only give it to him no matter how reluctant he was.
But it's different now. Now that Liu Cheng is by his side, he can safely push these things onto Liu Cheng's head.
It was also at this time that Li Ru realized that letting Liu Cheng marry Dong Bai was a clever move!
With my niece-in-law here to support the tank, it will be much easier for me.
"What you said makes sense. It's just that Kede led troops to garrison in Mianchi, which is the first line of defense. Kede is a general in the army and has been away from the army for a long time..."
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and nodded to express his agreement with Li Ru's words, but immediately expressed his worries.
Hearing what Dong Zhuo said, Liu Chenggong felt that it was very necessary for him to stand up and say a few words at this time to fight for this matter for himself.
As a result, someone was more anxious than him. Before he could speak, Li Ru beside him could not wait to speak.
"Father-in-law, there is no need to worry too much about this. The current situation is different from before.
The group of thieves in Guandong have dispersed, and even if some indifferent ones come, they won't be able to gather much strength.
Kede's army is all in Mianchi. They are all elite soldiers and horses who can win battles and fight tough battles. His generals such as Hua Xiong, Li Su, Xu Huang, and Li Jin have also been with Kede for a long time.
Yes, you are capable and can handle it appropriately.
Now there is no problem at all in letting Ke De preside over the farming affairs here for a while..."
Li Ru's reaction this time was unexpectedly quick.
Without Liu Cheng opening his mouth, he already started explaining the necessary reasons for Liu Cheng to stay here one by one.
He actually said it more fully than Liu Cheng himself thought!
Seeing this, Liu Cheng wisely shut his mouth and watched Li Ru perform for him without saying a word.
On this matter, it would be much better for Li Ru to speak for him than to speak directly.
Even after Li Ru's talk, when Dong Zhuo started to ask Liu Cheng for his opinion, Liu Cheng even tried to evade it.
However, before Dong Zhuo could speak, Li Ru had already opened his mouth to evade Liu Cheng's suggestions and refuted them one by one. For a moment, Liu Cheng was speechless.
Li Ru, who wanted to study hard, almost wrote something like "Don't bother me with your idle matters, don't delay my study" and hung it around his neck. At this time, in order to be able to pick it up,
I came out and had time to delve into knowledge, which was really hard work.
With the help of Li Ru here, Liu Cheng, who knew that he would definitely be appointed by Dong Zhuo to handle the farming affairs, also said a few more words of humility...
…
"...It's okay for my grandson-in-law to do the farm work, but there are some things that need to be discussed with my grandfather first and require his support..."
After some refusals, he left the farming affairs to Liu Cheng and began to make conditions to Dong Zhuo and ask for power.
"Ked, just say it."
Dong Zhuo waved his fat hand and said loudly, very boldly.
“There are too many people involved in farming, and it would be too busy just relying on the people I brought.
When we are stationed in the fields, we need the assistance of the army to proceed smoothly. Most of my troops are in Mianchi, and it would be too time-consuming to mobilize them from there..."
Before Liu Cheng could finish speaking, Dong Zhuo waved his hand to interrupt Liu Cheng: "Don't move the troops in Mianchi.
Kede, you, the general, are not there, so I am not sure where to transfer the troops and horses from.
There are many soldiers and horses around Chang'an. If you see which one is suitable, I will order them to be temporarily transferred to your hands to help you with things..."
Liu Cheng was waiting for this opportunity. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's move Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Ji's troops over. These two people and the soldiers and horses they command had contact and cooperation when they were at Meng Jin's place. This
It will be easier to use.”
"Can!"
Dong Zhuo directly agreed to Liu Cheng's plea and said thoughtfully: "Besides these people, what else does Kede need?"
Liu Chengdao: "To arrange and resettle the people, the army is needed to maintain order and provide military support.
But this is not a war after all. Only the army can't do it. We also need the assistance of some officials who are familiar with political affairs..."
When Liu Cheng said this, he finally revealed his main purpose...
