Zheng Xuan's old face showed a thoughtful look.
His grandson Zheng Xiaotong lost his parents, and he was very busy. Although someone takes care of him, his grandson needs a good growing environment. The grandson's presence at Lu Xuan's side was essentially an opportunity.
When the child is a little older, he will still have to study with him, and he can concentrate on training.
After Zheng Xuan thought about it clearly, he no longer hesitated and said decisively: "In that case, I'll trouble Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan said with a smile on his face: "I asked Yu'er to recognize Xiaotong as my baby brother. Xiaotong is also my Lu Xuan's son. We will treat everyone equally."
Zheng Xuandao: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan said humbly: "Zheng Gong stayed in Shu County and established the Five Classics Museum. He was of great help to me both publicly and privately. It is natural for me to do something within my duties. Moreover, Yu'er has a nanny brother , which is also his blessing.”
Zheng Xuan turned his eyes, glanced at Guoyuan behind him, and ordered: "Guoyuan, come out."
Guoyuan took a step forward and sat upright.
Zheng Xuan pointed at Guo Yuan and said directly: "Lu Shijun, Guo Yuan is my disciple and has achieved some success. Although he is incompetent, he is also diligent and practical. Please Lu Shijun to arrange something. Of course, if Lu Shi If you try it for a period of time and feel dissatisfied, you can expel me."
Guo Yuan took a step forward, bowed and said, "Guo Yuan, meet Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan's smile was even more joyful.
When he came to see Zheng Xuan, he had originally planned to recruit Guoyuan, but now that Zheng Xuan had made it clear, it was better.
Lu Xuan said without hesitation: "I have heard about Guoyuan's name for a long time. I appoint you as the captain of the army, responsible for the army's farming. You can choose the specific area of the farm, whether it is Lujiang County, Danyang County, or even In Wu County and other places, you will report it after you make your choice, and I will make arrangements."
Guoyuan was stunned for a moment.
Farming!
This is what he has always done.
When he was in Beihai Kingdom, he followed his teacher Zheng Xuan and was responsible for everyone's farming. Although the scope is small, the sparrow has all the internal organs despite its small size.
Lu Xuan's arrangement for him was to work in the fields, which meant that Lu Xuan had known him for a long time.
At this moment, Guoyuan was even more flattered.
Guoyuan put his hands together and solemnly said again: "Guoyuan will definitely complete the selection of the farming area and ensure sufficient food and grass."
Lu Xuan said: "I'll wait and see."
Lu Xuan stopped lingering and stood up and said, "Mr. Zheng, it's late at night and you should go to bed early. I won't bother you anymore and take my leave."
Lu Xuan stood up and left.
After leaving the post house, he did not go back directly. He went to visit Pang De and Sima Hui overnight, as well as Guan Ning and Bing Yuan. Lu Xuan had to visit these most important celebrities and scholars one by one in order to show his sincerity.
It was already late at night when Lu Xuan returned to the house.
When he returned home, Da Qiao hadn't rested yet. Lu Xuan directly talked about Zheng Xiaotong's affairs, and finally gave instructions: "Yu'er and Xiaotong must be treated equally when they live together, without any bias."
Da Qiao is also a wise person. After hearing what Lu Xuan said, she was extremely happy and said quickly: "Don't worry, husband, I will make arrangements for you."
Lu Xuan and Da Qiao were talking, and the night was getting darker.
The two struggled for a while and then fell asleep.
One night passed, and the next morning, Lu Xuan was still handling government affairs as usual. Da Qiao went to the posthouse in person and brought Zheng Xiaotong to his house. Zheng Xuan took Pang Degong and others to start planning for the Five Classics Hall, preparing for site selection, construction and other matters.
In a blink of an eye, it’s December.
The Five Classics Museum was established in the west of the city, and the new Zuobo paper was officially sold. Moreover, after Zuobo paper was combined with engraving and printing books, the business of the bookstores that printed and sold books became booming. This was already a major source of wealth for Lu Xuan.
While Lu Xuan was busy, on this day, Xi Zhicai came to the inside and outside of Shu County Prefectural Mufu.
Xi Zhicai's face looked relieved.
finally reached.
This time he came to Shu County from Yanzhou, which went smoothly at first. However, when he arrived at the border of Yanzhou, he suddenly fell seriously ill and was delayed for a long time. I waited until my body recovered a bit before continuing south.
Xi Zhicai handed over the greeting card and waited quietly.
Not long after, the attendant led Xi Zhicai into the Zhou Mu Mansion and came to Lu Xuan's study.
Xi Zhicai took off his cloak, felt the warmth in the study, and his whole body felt a little warmer. He cupped his hands and said, "Xi Zhicai, pay your respects to Mr. Lu,"
Lu Xuan looked at Xi Zhicai.
The Xi Zhicai in front of him had thick bags under his eyes, dark circles, and a pale complexion with no trace of blood. He looked sick at first glance.
Lu Xuan said with concern: "Mr. Zhicai, you are ill. I will arrange for a doctor to treat you. What do you think?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "Xi Zhicai understood Lu Shijun's kindness. When I went south, I was infected with wind and cold, and my body was not very comfortable. Now I have recovered a lot, so Lu Shijun doesn't have to worry."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay, Mr. Zhicai, please pay attention to your health."
Xi Zhicai said sternly: "I came to Shu County this time on the order of my lord, to ask for help. There is a severe drought in Yanzhou this year, and the autumn harvest is all gone. Now in the cold winter, Yanzhou is even more difficult. My lord kindly asks Lu Shijun to sponsor some Food to alleviate the crisis in Yanzhou."
Lu Xuan instantly became serious and said slowly: "Mr. Zhicai, my support for my father-in-law is already great. A few days ago, Yuan Shao and I got married. The first thing Yuan Shao did was to ask me to send troops to attack my father-in-law and destroy Yanzhou. "
"I refused outright."
"I agree to the marriage with Yuan Shao. I can get closer to him, but it is impossible to directly attack my father-in-law."
"This is my principle."
Lu Xuan said solemnly: "I helped my father-in-law in obscurity. Now, my father-in-law wants me to donate food for free. This is definitely not possible. If my father-in-law needs food, then he should come up with supplies that can be deducted from the food. Mr. Xi, can my father-in-law donate food?" what?"
Xi Zhicai's heart skipped a beat.
Yuan Shao actually married Lu Xuan, and he really didn't want to be lonely. Moreover, Lu Xuan said that Yuan Shao asked Lu Xuan to deal with Cao Cao, which was something Yuan Shao could do.
Xi Zhicai was very nervous.
The situation is not favorable.
If Yuan Shao and Lu Xuan attack Yanzhou together, Cao Cao will be in a worrying situation.
Lu Xuan looked at Xi Zhicai. He saw Xi Zhicai's serious expression and knew that he had frightened Xi Zhicai. After all, Yuan Shao liked to arrange people to deal with enemies. In the past, Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao. Now, it makes sense for Lu Xuan to say that Yuan Shao asked him to deal with Cao Cao.
Lu Xuan was certain that Cao Cao would not seek confirmation.
Lu Xuan further said: "Mr. Xi, my father-in-law and I have been on the battlefield together, drank together, and lived and died together. My relationship with my father-in-law is better than that of Yuan Shao, and I have no plans to attack my father-in-law."
"Mr. Xi, please rest assured."
"However, when it comes to food, this is a public matter, and public affairs cannot be abandoned for personal reasons. Food is the key, and I cannot decide at will. Otherwise, I cannot explain it to the people below. I still say the same thing, if my father-in-law wants food, he has to bring something Change it to, say, a war horse.”
Lu Xuan looked expectantly and asked, "How many war horses can my father-in-law give me?"
