Farmers of Shu Han

Compared with the two righteous masters, the one who wanted to reach an agreement the most was Lv Yi, the Secretary of the School Affairs Office.

Not for other things, only for Jingzhou's financial resources.

If there is no financial source in Jingzhou, it will almost be a disaster for the school affairs office.

How could the school office, which has lost most of its financial resources, satisfy His Majesty's appetite just by relying on the domestic advantages?
A school office that cannot meet His Majesty's requirements is garbage that can be thrown away at any time.

Therefore, Lu Yi, who knows well the foundation of the school affairs office, hopes that the Dahan and Dawu will maintain the covenant for a long time.

At least at least, there should be no accidents in Jingzhou.

Maintaining the status quo is the best outcome.

With such a mind in mind, he naturally tried his best to facilitate this negotiation—the sooner the better, lest the night be full of dreams.

It's a pity that things in this world usually fail to meet people's wishes.

For the two in front of you, His Majesty thinks that the Han envoys give too little, and the Han envoys think that His Majesty asks for too much.

However, he didn't dare to intervene in such important national affairs.

I can only watch as the two talk more and more, and the differences become bigger and bigger, and they finally broke up unhappy.

After being ordered to send Zong Yu out of the palace, Lv Yi turned around and rushed to look for Mi Shishilang:
"Mr. Mi Lang, could it be that this time, the Han envoys have no sincerity?"

When asked by Lu Yi, Mi Shishilang, who had not received the news, couldn't help feeling a little ignorant:
"What does Lu Zhongshu mean by this?"

Seeing Mi Shishilang's appearance, Lu Yi knew that he might not be aware that the Han envoy almost messed up things in front of His Majesty today.

It's no wonder that as soon as the Han envoy left the palace, he followed closely behind. It's normal that Mi Langjun hasn't got the news yet.

So Lu Yi explained the matter in detail.

Then he stomped his feet anxiously and said:

"Mr. Mi Lang, I have repeatedly reminded you before that if the Jingzhou tariff is lower than [-]%, His Majesty will definitely not respond to the Luoyang matter. Didn't you remind the Han envoy?"

The reminder must have been reminded, but why the clan association is only willing to pay [-]%, then I don't know.

Mi Langjun opened his mouth, his face turned worried:
"Lv Zhongshu, you don't know that yesterday, as soon as Zonggong arrived in Jianye, I immediately came to visit him."

This is no secret.

Not to mention that the school affairs office is responsible for the assassination. After a little investigation, it will be known, and there is no need to hide it.

"After all, what Lu Zhongshu said is related to the reconciliation of the two countries, how dare I not do my best?"

Speaking of this, Mi Shishilang sighed, matching the worry on his face:
"Who would have expected Zonggong to be noncommittal about what he said to me. Lu Zhongshu, you also know that Zonggong is very old, and he is a veteran who followed the late emperor in his early years."

"In our Great Han Dynasty, there are not many veterans like him. With my qualifications, how dare I be presumptuous in front of him?"

"Not to mention Zonggong has always resisted straightness. After I mentioned this matter at the time, Zonggong just told me that he already knew it in his heart, how could I dare to say more?"

After finishing speaking, he frowned again and sighed again and again:

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! I didn't expect the Zonggong to avoid talking about it yesterday. It turned out that he had such a plan. What should I do?"

Lu Yi looked at Mi Shishilang suspiciously:
"Mr. Mi Lang and Da Sima are like brothers. Didn't you tell Mr. Mi about this matter?"

When Mi Shishilang heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he said seriously:
"Are Lu Zhongshu's words suspicious of me? Negotiations between the two countries are a major national event, and they must be negotiated by the monarchs and ministers of the country before they can be implemented."

"Although my elder brother is the great Sima, there is the emperor above and the minister's platform below. It is not my elder brother who can decide the major affairs of the court with one word."

"Angel Kuang's visit to Wu was ordered by the emperor, not by my elder brother. How much tariffs will be waived is a secret between the court and China."

"Now that I am far away in another country, I am not qualified to know such secrets, let alone like Lu Zhongshu, who is valued by Lord Wu and is qualified to participate in such important events."

"Could it be that Lu Zhongshu thinks that my elder brother will abolish the government because of personal interests, and leak such secrets to me in advance?"

With those words, he not only belittled himself, but also praised Lu Yi.

Lu Yi thought about it, during the negotiation yesterday, apart from His Majesty and the Han envoy, he was the only one present.

Even important ministers like Lu Xun are not qualified to participate.

Da Wu is like this, so it should be the same when I want to come to Han.

Thinking of this, he quickly apologized to Mi Shishilang:
"How dare you? How dare I doubt Da Sima's character? Just now, I was too worried about the tariffs, and my words were a little too Menglang. Don't blame, Mi Lang-jun."

Seeing Lu Yi's apology, Mi Langjun looked a little better:
"I also know that Lu Zhongshu is worried. After all, if there is any mistake in this matter, it will also harm me."

"After all, I'm now the transfer Cao and the Jingzhou Customs Capital. If there is a problem with the Jingzhou Customs, I will be dereliction of duty."

Pointing to his heart, Mi Shishilang said to Lu Yi:

"That's why I, like Lu Zhongshu, hope that this matter will be decided early, so as not to affect Yishi in Jingzhou."

Lu Yi thought so too.

So he asked tentatively:

"Then according to Mr. Mi Lang, what should we do?"

Mi Shishilang glanced at Lu Yi, the meaning in his eyes was obvious:

He has already seen the purpose of Lu Yi's visit.

But he doesn't want to go.

"Lu Zhongshu, what His Majesty means is to ask for [-]%, can't it be any less?"

Lu Yi shook his head:

"This is His Majesty's final bottom line, nothing less."

After finishing speaking, he also stared at Mi Shishilang, trying to see something from his face.

The meaning in the eyes is also obvious:
He just wanted Mr. Mi Lang to persuade the Han envoy, at least to find out.

After all, I have already checked His Majesty's tone, this time, it's your turn.

Mi Shishilang couldn't avoid Lu Yi's gaze, so he had to stand up, with a serious look on his face:
"Okay, then I'll visit Zong Gong again to see if there is a chance to persuade him."

Lu Yi was overjoyed at this moment, stepped forward to hold Mi Shishilang's hand, and said earnestly:
"Mr. Mi Lang, I'll leave everything to you. Even if you can't persuade me, I'd like to ask you how much Zonggong wants to give? Only [-]% is too little."

"Lu Zhongshu, it's just you and me here, and I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Thirty percent is not too little. Others don't know, so don't you know the amount?"

As Mi Shishilang spoke, he quietly withdrew his hand:
"To put it bluntly, if the big man insists that he just trusts Luoyang and pays it back in the future. The tariff will not be paid at [-]%. Could it be possible that His Majesty can cut off the Yishi in Jingzhou?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi smiled awkwardly.

off?
How to break?
If he really wanted to die, Da Wu himself had to die first.

You can't really cast Daquan five thousand, can you?
Not to mention five thousand dollars from Daquan, even ten thousand dollars from Daquan, that can't make up for it!
After all, it is still poor!

Not to mention that when it came to borrowing the city, Da Wu didn't have any confidence at all.

And it's still about Jingzhou...

Difficult!

It's hard to say!
So besides an embarrassed smile, what else can Lu Yi say?
Mi Shishilang sent Lv Yi away, and then went to the post house again.

When Zong Yu heard that Mi Shishilang was coming, he naturally welcomed him in again.

Poured a cup of tea for Mi Shishilang himself, then asked with a smile:
"Where did Mi Lang-jun come from this time?"

After Mi Shishilang sat down, without even drinking tea, he shook his head and told Zong about the suffering:
"Zong Gong is hurting me!"

Zong Yuqi said:

"What are you talking about? Mr. Mi is such a big man, and I don't even have time to love him. How could he hurt you?"

Mi Shishilang smiled wryly:
"Zong Gong, you came from Chang'an, originally you said you would give [-]%, but after trying my best, I found out that the people of Wu want at least [-]%."

"Unexpectedly, you got the news from me and went to discuss with Lord Wu, but you only gave [-]% of it. You, this cut is too harsh."

"No, my friend came to question me and suspected that I didn't do things with my heart at all."

When Zong Yu heard the words, he immediately burst into laughter. After laughing, he winked and asked:
"Mi Langjun's friend is Lu Yi?"

Mi Shishilang was surprised:
"How did Zonggong know?"

Yesterday I was still asking if my friend was reliable, but I just left the palace today, so I knew that the person who revealed the news to me was Lu Yi.

Could it be that Zonggong is sending someone to monitor him?
"Looks like I guessed it right, it's really Lu Yi."

Zong Yu stroked his beard, "I just left the palace not long ago, and Mr. Mi Lang will be able to know the content of the discussion. This person must be the first to know the content of the discussion."

"The old man was discussing with Lord Wu, and there was only one person listening in. It was Lv Yi, Secretary of Wu State's School Affairs Office."

Saying that, Zong Yu smiled and looked at Mi Shishilang:
"I'm afraid even the important ministers of the state of Wu don't know the details of the discussion with Lord Wu, but Mr. Mi Lang can find out so quickly. Except for Lu Yi, there is probably no one else."

Mi Shishilang suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

After showing off for a while, Zong Yu began to explain the reason for his low price:
"Looking at the world today, Han is strong and Wu is weak. It is Wu who asks me, not me who asks Wu."

"We are willing to give the money entrusted to Luo Yang, because we are righteous."

"If we don't want to give it, is there a way for the Wu people to take it away?"

"He wants something from me, but he can't take Luo Yang by force, so it's not us who are worried, but them."

After speaking, Zong Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, shook his head and tasted it for a while, and then said slowly:
"When you ask for help, you have to have the attitude of asking for help."

"Back then, the people of Wu sent envoys to inform the big man that he wanted to honor the east and the west. How many people from the big man wrote to His Majesty to cut off their alliance?"

"The result? Didn't we have to send Chen Weiwei (that is, Chen Zhen) to Wu to congratulate him on the honorable title? It's all because I, a big man, asked Wu Ye at that time."

"Today's [-]% tariff, even if it must be handed over, it is absolutely impossible for the old man to let the people of Wu take it so easily."

Mi Shishilang nodded.

Oh, I got it.

Zong Laoshangshu was still in a hurry and wanted to tease the Wu people.

Mi Shishilang cupped his hands:

"It turns out that Zong Gong had planned for a long time, and he was too worried."

After finishing speaking, I will say goodbye.

Women in Wudi speak soft and waxy Nong language with a unique flavor.

It is a kind of enjoyment to listen to them singing "Long Gan Xing" without doing anything.

Why bother to tangle with this old man who is so idle?

Unexpectedly, Zong Yu called him to stop:

"Mi Lang-jun has a good relationship with Lu Zhongshu of the school office?"

Mi Shishilang hesitated a little, but finally nodded: "It's okay."

Zong Yu raised his eyebrows: "It's just okay? It's just that if it's okay, this person would actually tell Lord Mi Lang what Lord Wu is asking for in advance?"

"He wants to benefit from Jingzhou's easy market. He is not talented, so he happens to be in charge of this area. He has something to ask for me. If he can say it, he will naturally say it."

"Furthermore, it seems that he revealed this matter to me in advance, whether there is the instruction of Lord Wu, that is also uncertain."

"Oh?" Zong Yu stared at Mi Shishilang, and asked slowly, "Is this person useful?"

Mi Shishilang was taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile and said:
"Zong Gong was joking. Whether this person is useful or not is up to Lord Wu to decide, and I don't count if I say it."

Zong Yu said nothing, just continued to look at Mi Shishilang.

Mi Shishilang couldn't avoid it, so he could only continue to explain:

"However, the school affairs office and the Xinghan Association have a lot of contacts, and they have cooperated for more than ten years. If you want to talk about friendship, it must be not shallow."

Zong Yu nodded, pondered for a while, and asked:

"Then I'll send a favor to Mr. Mi Lang, so that your friendship will deepen, how about it?"

When Mi Langjun heard this, he immediately became interested:

"Dare to ask Zong Gong, how do you explain this?"

"After you go back, say that I have given you the bottom line, and [-]% will be [-]%."

Zong Yu glanced at Mi Shishilang, "Of course, you can also say that you are the mediator."

"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Zong!"

Mi Shishilang smiled happily, and cupped his hands repeatedly at Zong Yu:

"I'm worrying about how to tell him when I go back. The favor of Zong Gong came at the right time."

Zong Yu laughed again, pointed at Mi Lang and said:

"Smart words! Just now I deliberately made a bitter face with me, and now I look like this again, get out, get out!"

"You follow Feng Mingwen, and you don't distinguish between good and bad. You just learned it all by yourself. It's a good thing you call him brother."

Mi Shishilang smiled and didn't refute, just saluted Zong Yu again, and then went out.

Lu Yi was impatient, so he came to find Mi Shishilang again the next morning and asked about it.

Mi Shishilang patted his chest to reassure him, and he explained the importance of Jingzhou Yishi with reason and emotion.

Zong Gong finally let go, and was willing to give up [-]% of the tariff and return it to the state of Wu.

Lu Yi couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and after confirming again and again, he hurried back to report the letter after receiving Mi Shishilang's guarantee.

Sure enough, after a few days, Lu Yi came to visit Mi Shishilang for the third time, and he still came with a heavy gift, and personally invited Mi Shishilang to the banquet.

This negotiation really made him face a lot in front of His Majesty.

After drinking a lot of wine, Lu Yi told Mi Shishilang rather drunkly:
After this incident, no one can shake the School Affairs Office in the matter of Jingzhou Yishi.

Lu Yi thanked Mi Shishilang, but Mi Shishilang wanted to thank Zong Yu.

Obviously, after this incident, the trust of the school affairs office in him has increased a lot, and it is more convenient for him to act in Wu country.

After listening to Mi Shishilang's story, Zong Yu said with emotion:
"Master Wu is old, his aspirations have faded, and his ambition is no longer. The former emperor once said that Lord Wu is superior and inferior, and it is difficult for him to be inferior; the prime minister also said that he can be used for him."

"When I look at it now, his face is haggard, his skin is loose, his eyes are dull, his eyes are red, and his breath is short. These are all signs of indulging in wine and lust, and his body is weak."

"As for Lv Yi and the others, they are just profit-seeking villains, but they are deeply trusted by Lord Wu because they can make money. From this we can see that the whole country of Wu has suffered from serious problems."

Mi Shishilang reminded:

"Master Zong, don't forget that Lu Xun and his generation are good ministers and generals, they should not be underestimated."

Zong Yu chuckled:
"Although there are good ministers and generals, they can't be used, so what if there are more?"

From the beginning to the end of this matter, he never met Lu Xun.

The dignified general, who was acting as the prime minister, was actually excluded.

There is only one school affairs, the middle secretary mediates and inquires, and the emperor decides in private.

This is not the way to deal with state affairs.

Sure enough, not long after, there was news that Lu Xun, the great general of the Wu Kingdom, wrote a letter, urging Lord Wu to renegotiate the Luoyang matter.

But was rejected by Lord Wu.

And Zong Yu, who had already set foot on the return ship, just smiled slightly after hearing the news, and drifted away.

What he didn't know was that after being rejected by Sun Quan, Lu Xun did not give up, but chose to knock on the que, wanting to enter the palace to admonish.

Sun Quan climbed onto the high platform, looked at Lu Xun and others kneeling outside the palace, with disgust on his face, and said to Lu Yi who was standing beside him:

"I don't think Lu Boyan should have changed his name in the first place. He has repeatedly coerced the officials to force the emperor. Why should he say it so poorly? It should be reused."

"Not only does he want to discuss the crown prince, the queen, but now he wants to discuss the emperor!"

(Note: Lu Xun's real name is discussed)

How dare Lv Yi say no, he naturally followed Sun Quan's words:

"Your Majesty's words are very reasonable."

Taking a careful glance at Sun Quan, and then at a distance, he said with a flattering smile:

"Your Majesty mentioned the original name of the great general, and I remembered something."

Sun Quan had been staring at the direction of the palace to the north, his eyes were flickering, and he just casually asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that the second son of the Great General was named Kang. If the Great General hadn't changed his name and their father and son's names were linked together, wouldn't that be called a protest, haha!"

"However, the status of the above-mentioned generals is second only to His Majesty in our Great Wu. Why should we protest to anyone?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he wanted to laugh along with him, but he didn't know what he remembered, and his face suddenly became gloomy again.

But seeing him staring fiercely at the direction of the Que Gate, he snorted angrily, turned around and walked away angrily.

protest?

protest!

You are a general, who do you need to protest to?To whom do you want to protest? !
Sun Quan's hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly, his teeth rattling.

PS: I cooked a meal for Tiger Girl, and bought some fruits that she wanted to eat but was reluctant to buy before, so it was the Qixi Festival.

Other people's Qixi Festival is a couple, and the Qixi Festival of Tiger Girl and I is, one is staying up late to code words, and the other is coaxing the children to sleep.
