After Lu Zhen left, the poetry conference fell silent.

Because the shock brought by Lu Zhen's poems was too strong.

It is no exaggeration to say that these thirty-six poems are enough for them to appreciate and ponder for several days.

As the host, Wei Jian could only appear in person and rack his brains to compose a poem, which could barely keep up with Lu Zhen's previous thirty-six poems.

But not others.

Each of these scribes boasted of their unparalleled talents. Wouldn't it be a shame if their poems were not as good as Lu Zhen's?

But in a hurry, I couldn't think of any better poems, so I stopped again.

This poetry conference was awkward, as if it had become Lu Zhen's exclusive performance venue.

Wei Zhongdao was the first to be unwilling, but he couldn't figure it out.

He pinned his hopes on Cai Yan, but Cai Yan was thinking about how to respond to Lu Zhen's poem"If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old" and had no time to care about anything else.

In the end, the poetry conference seemed to end in disgrace, but everyone was reluctant to leave the Wei Mansion for a long time, and they were all appreciating the poems of Lu Zhen copied by Wei.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, this poetry conference was successful again.

Wei Jian couldn't help but sigh:

"Yuandang's poetry eclipsed the Hedong scribes!"

At this time, Lu Zhen had already led people to survey the river.

Xi Zhicai was to take charge of the water control, so Lu Zhen selected hundreds of literate soldiers for him, and they were all at his disposal.

In addition, Lu Zhen wanted to choose He took out a manor and prepared to plant potatoes.

Because potatoes were precious, Lu Zhen wanted to find a plantation that was closed enough to prevent prying eyes.

Finally, Lu Zhen found an abandoned temple near the city wall.

The temple compound was less than an acre of land. , but there is still a wall available.

Lu Zhen asked people to repair the wall a little, and then started to turn the soil and fertilize.

When Wang Ling came, he saw Lu Zhen doing it himself and checking the loosening of the soil.

Also coming with Wang Ling was Wei Qian , he said curiously:

"Does the general know how to plant? Lu

Zhen smiled and said:

"Coming from a borderland background, he naturally knows how to plant."

Wei Jian heard the self-deprecation in his tone, so he did not continue the topic, but said:

"What is the general going to plant here?"

Wang Ling also looked curious.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhen didn't say anything, but laughed and said:

"Why did Bo Xi come to see me?"

Actually, Wei Jian simply admired his poetry, so he couldn't help but want to ask for a few more words. However, seeing that Lu Zhen was busy with government affairs, he changed his words:

"Oh~ I'm going to see the general how to control the water."

Lu Zhen led them towards the river and said:

"That's just right, just go and have a look. Lu

Zhen said, looked at Wang Ling, and said:

"Yan Yun, how are you thinking?"

Before Wang Ling could speak, Lu Zhen said again:

"Don't worry, I'm always waiting for your reply."

Seeing that Wang Ling looked ashamed, Lu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

He knew that it would not be easy to conquer Wang Ling, because he and Wang Yun had a quarrel, which made Wang Ling, a member of the Wang clan, very embarrassed.

At this time, they had already We walked to the river.

Looking around, tens of thousands of people were working. Most of them were in rags and they should be refugees.

Among the refugees, there were also military figures. They were responsible for maintaining order and providing technical guidance.

The scene was lively and orderly. and inspiring harmony

"This... is actually spectacular!"

Wei Jian was stunned. Although he knew that Lu Zhen was appeasing the refugees, he didn't expect that he was doing such a good job.

And he still felt guilty in his heart. When they, the scholars, were reciting poems, making wine and tea in the city, Lu Zhen Zhen was doing this!

Wang Ling watched with excitement.

This scene of large-scale construction made him feel more alive than ever before.

Especially when he saw that it was approaching noon, the soldiers and the refugees were cooking together and eating from the same pot. The defense line began to collapse.

Wang Ling had a feeling: the world he dreamed of would start from here.

"Can you two eat the food here?"

At this time, Lu Zhen led the two of them into the scene, pointing to the open-air cauldron and laughing.

The surrounding refugees saluted Lu Zhen and said hello. It could be seen from their warm and respectful expressions that they had great respect for Lu Zhen. Zhen was very respectful.

Wei Jian responded casually:

"Eat naturally."

Actually, Wei Jian is not a pampered son of aristocratic family.

He also comforted the victims and ate with the people.

However, the food here is much better. Wei Jian held the bowl and said in surprise:

"There is even dried meat in the porridge!"

"Hmm~ And the cheese, was it captured from the Huns?"

Actually, what surprised Wei Jian was not the seizure of supplies, but the fact that Lu Zhen gave the seized dried meat to the refugees!

This was not his generosity, but his attitude towards the refugees.

Seeing Lu Zhen nod, Wei Jian looked again Look at the countless large pots placed in the open air:

"These were also captured by killing the Huns."

The main material that the Xiongnu plundered when they went south was iron.

Therefore, what Lu Zhen captured the most by killing the Xiongnu was iron.

Of course, Lu Zhen's current iron is still not enough, because his army has increased and his armor has been consumed a lot.

Therefore, he plans to Iron ore is being mined.

But iron ore mining is not as simple as finding some labor. It also requires the guidance of craftsmen who understand surveying and mining techniques.

Lu Zhen has no talent in this area, so he can only borrow it from Wei Qi.

Of course, in order to succeed, Arriving at the craftsman, Lu Zhen pointed to the flood control site not far away and threatened:

"I will build a water village upstream. When the time comes, your family manor will need irrigation, and you need my permission."

"Based on the principle of mutual benefit, I will naturally not embarrass you, so you also need to help me mine."

Wei Jian looked at Lu Zhen, his eyes shimmered, and he immediately said:

"OK, I'll help the general mine iron ore."

Lu Zhen was quite surprised. Could it be that the threat worked!?

Anyway, I felt that Wei Jian agreed too simply.
