Chapter 1161 Adding to the flames(2/2)
"Lu Zhongshu has been at your Majesty's side for a long time. If I can persuade Your Majesty to attack the thieves, I would be very grateful."
Lu Yi quickly supported Ma Tian and said urgently:
"What did you say, sir? For this matter, I should just thank you sir!"
Seeing that Mr. Ma had calmed down, Lu Yi sat down with him again, and then said with some embarrassment:
"Actually, when I come here this time, in addition to telling you that your majesty has agreed to Jingzhou's request, there is actually something else I want to ask you for."
"Lu Zhongshu just said it, why do you need to say "Qiu"?
"It is rumored that Mr. Feng Duhu has a relationship?"
Ma Tian sighed again and said nothing to Lu Yi:
"It is true that Feng Duhu and I have a slight friendship. The mistakes I made at the street pavilion back then should be punished according to law. If Feng Duhu hadn't come to my aid in time, I would have turned into dust today!"
The battle at Jieting can be regarded as the battle that made Feng Duhu famous.
What happened back then, apart from the people involved, probably very few people know the details.
Most people in the world only know that Mr. Ma was saved by Feng Duhu.
Mr. Ma mentioned this point more than once.
Lu Yi naturally didn't doubt him.
He thought about it for a moment and then said: "I know that Mr. Suzhi is on good terms with the Xinghan Association and knows a lot of information inside the Xinghan Association. It doesn't mean that I can't trust you."
"It's just that this matter is of great importance, and His Majesty is very concerned about it. Now after hearing about this matter, he wants to write a letter to the Emperor of the Han family about borrowing food."
"Who in the world doesn't know that the emperor of the Han family values Feng Duhu very much? Therefore, if Feng Duhu can help and speak kindly in front of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I think this matter will be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no variables."
Hearing what Lu Yi said, a glimmer of light flashed in Ma Tian's eyes that was difficult for others to detect, but the expression on his face remained unchanged as he nodded:
"I already know the meaning of the book."
If I say this before reporting it to Sun Quan, this is just a suggestion.
At most, it is a purchase and sale agreement between the school government and the Shu region.
So, when Sun Quan decided to write a letter to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, it was already considered a major event between the allies.
Even if the land of Shu transports grain to Wu, there are limits.
It doesn't mean that you will be lucky if you want to be lucky.
Otherwise, why set up a Yongan Easy Market?
If the little fat man in Chang'an receives a letter from Emperor Wu, he will say "Hey" and then ask when I will agree to borrow food.
That would be embarrassing.
The emperor had lost face, and Lu Yi himself would lose his life if he had no choice but to do so.
Although the probability of this happening is not very high.
After all, Mr. Ma has a close relationship with the Xinghan Society, and in many cases, Mr. Ma can even pass on messages for the Xinghan Society.
The Xinghan Hui's statement, to a large extent, means that Feng Duhu agreed, or at least was informed.
But Lu Yi cherished his life.
So he should make as many preparations as possible.
But what he didn't know was that after Ma Tian learned that Sun Quan couldn't wait to write a letter to Chang'an, he already had a question in mind:
I'm afraid the famine in Wu State this year is more serious than I imagined?
With this thought in his mind, Ma Tian responded with his mouth full of words:
"I will write to Feng Duhu and ask Feng Duhu to lend a helping hand."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Deng Weizhe, the head of the Xinghan Association in Jincheng, is the son of Deng Bomiao, who was sent to Jiangdong as an envoy to represent the Han Dynasty and made an alliance with Wu."
"Deng Weizhe is quite like his father. If he comes to deal with this matter, he will definitely take notice. I will write another letter to him and ask him to make more preparations."
This time, it was Lu Yi’s turn to be grateful:
"Thank you, thank you, sir."
"It's just a little effort."
"I know that your husband holds Yu Huaijin, and he has big plans to defeat thieves and does not care about ordinary things. However, after bringing so many students to Jiangdong, there are always things he cannot take care of."
Lu Yi cupped his hands and said, "I would like to assure you that as long as it concerns you and the students of the college, the school affairs office will do its best to help."
"Lu Zhongshu is serious."
"Mutual help, just mutual help."
After receiving Mr. Ma's reply that someone would pick up the letter tomorrow, Lu Yi left with satisfaction.
After returning to the school office, he immediately sent someone to give him a generous gift.
Mr. Ma needed to be connected to the matter of buying grain, so Lu Yi was not afraid of anyone making irresponsible remarks about it.
Something like a close relationship.
On the second day, Lu Yi did not send anyone over, but went there again in person, and sure enough he got the letter from Mr. Ma.
"The people of Han are so generous!"
Lu Yi sighed greatly.
There was Feng Duhu in front, lending horses, armor, and weapons to Da Wu.
Later, there was Mr. Ma, who tried to find ways to buy and borrow grain for Da Wu.
In addition to sighing, even people like Lu Yi also felt a little sad:
Da Wu has received a lot of help from the Han State in recent years, and he only hopes to succeed in defeating the thieves as soon as possible, so that he can live up to the help of the Han State.
It was already early summer when Mr. Ma's letter was delivered to Chang'an.
Along with the letter came Deng Liang, who also received a letter from Jiang Dong.
"Weizhe, how are you doing along the way?"
"Thanks for your concern, brother, it's not bad."
Although Deng Liang's lord was honored as a right-guard general, Deng Liang never served as an official and only wanted to stay in Jincheng.
the reason is simple.
His grandmother is old and has many inconveniences, so he needs to take care of her personally to feel at ease.
Just like this time when the emperor moved the capital, most of the personal documents of the ministers of the DPRK were also moved to Chang'an one after another.
But Deng Liang's mother was not in good health and was not fit to travel far away, so she stayed in Jincheng.
It was rare for Deng Liang to come over this time, so he naturally wanted to discuss the food shortage in Wu.
"You have worked hard in Jincheng these years and have done well. Your contribution is not only remembered by me, but also by His Majesty."
"Whenever you want to become an official, whether you want to stay in the court or take up a position, there will always be a place for you."
Looking at Deng Liang, who had begun to grow a beard, Feng Duhu felt somewhat emotional:
"So many years have passed in a flash, and sometimes it still feels like yesterday."
Deng Liang smiled slightly:
"How dare I take credit for such a small amount of merit? Besides, these are actually the efforts of the brothers in the guild. I am just representing the guild."
Feng Duhu waved his hand:
"A meritorious service is a meritorious service. Brothers, there is no need to be humble. Apart from you, I really can't find anyone who can make me feel at ease and stay with me with peace of mind."
"We have been planning for so many years, and finally we have such a good opportunity. How are Jincheng's preparations going?"
Deng Liang, who was usually indifferent, finally had a rare mood swing when talking about this matter:
"Brother, don't worry. In the past few years, the big families in Shu have cooperated. In addition, the price of food has increased this year, and they can't even be happy."
Over the years, the Shu family, which has become extremely smooth, has actually long wanted to accept its fate.
However, the Han Prime Minister kept suppressing it and was unwilling to fully open his mouth.
Until Guanzhong and Bingzhou were captured, the Han Dynasty expanded rapidly and needed to recruit a large number of talents.
Coupled with the death of the prime minister and the emperor moving the capital, this was considered a complete turnaround, and the imperial court began to use a large number of Shu children.
For example, Qiao Zhou, being appointed as the crown prince's family minister is an attitude.
This can probably be regarded as a kind of imperial mentality.
The Prime Minister restrained himself before him, and the Emperor rose behind him. Anyway, the aristocratic families in Shu now support the Emperor very much.
After so many years of hard work, everyone has learned that the imperial court plans to sell a large amount of grain to the state of Wu. Is there any reason not to enthusiastically support it?
In fact, in the past few years, the Xinghan Association has collected a batch of grain at a high price every year and resold it to the east.
But there is a quota.
