    "Master Marquis?" When Du Ji heard that Sima Fu was coming, he was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the Sima family was so powerful here. Du Ji did not tell anyone when Lu Rui came to Hanoi, but the Sima family then kicked  We have arrived. It seems that there are spies from the Sima family in the county government in Hanoi.  "Bohou, don't be surprised. The Sima family has lived in Hanoi since Emperor Gaozu. It's not surprising that there are several confidants in the county government." Lu Rui comforted Du Ji with a few words. The Cao family would also do this kind of thing, but which one  The more powerful the family is, the more powerful the family will be.  "Thank you, Lord Marquis. What about the third son of the Sima family?" "Let Sima Fu come in. I want to see what's going on with him." Since everyone from the Sima family is here, Lu Rui certainly has no reason to disappear. Look  Let¡¯s see the Sima family¡¯s attitude towards the Sima Min incident.  "Yes, Lord Marquis! Ji will personally bring Sima Fu in." Du Ji bowed his hands and left the meeting hall.  At the same time, he evacuated all the servants around him, leaving only Lu Rui and Cao Chong.  "Sima Fu and Sima Shuda of Hanoi meet the Marquis!" Soon, a handsome young man came to see Lu Rui under the leadership of Du Ji.  The salute is a half-length ceremony. It seems that the Sima family has a stronger foundation than the Cao family for hundreds of years. When they see Lu Rui, they still treat each other with courtesy.  "It turns out to be Sima Shuda, one of the Sima Bada. I have heard for a long time that Shuda is careful and meticulous in his work. When we meet today, it turns out that fame is worse than meeting. As soon as I arrived at the county government office, Shuda arrived." Lu Rui smiled.  , picked up a cup of tea and took a slow sip.     What?  Sima Fu was stunned, Lu Rui actually knew his character.  Sima Bada is well-known among the Han Dynasty for his literary talent, but his character is unknown to outsiders. Even Sima Fang does not necessarily understand the true character of the eight brothers of the Sima family.  ??Did Lu Rui send someone to investigate the Sima family?  Sima Fu began to think, did Lu Rui analyze his character through intelligence analysis?  But he was only slightly talented. How did Lu Rui figure it out?  Smart people usually know their own strengths and weaknesses very well. When Lu Rui told him about his character, Sima Fu started to feel confused.  Being attacked first is a strong point.  "Shuda, please sit down!" Lu Rui saw the change in Sima Fu's eyes and knew that his inner offensive was working. He had never sent anyone to know about the Sima family. He was just based on the records in the history books. The records in the history books are sometimes very useful.  of.  "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for giving me a seat!" "Shuda, I wonder what Shuda is here for?" After both parties took their seats.  Lu Rui got straight to the point. Smart people don't need to beat around the bush.  "Master Marquis, my father learned that the Marquis is coming to Hanoi County. He has heard about the Marquis for a long time and has never had a chance to meet him. So he specially sent Fu here today. Tomorrow, I invite the Marquis to come to my house to meet him. Meet the Marquis!" Sima!  Fu said it very easily, it was just a prestigious senior who wanted to meet the heroes of the world.  "Thank you for the invitation. Fang Gong is the pillar of the Han Dynasty. Rui came to Hanoi and wanted to meet Fang Gong. If you don't want Fang Gong, I sent Shuda to invite you first. Rui will definitely attend the appointment tomorrow." Lu Rui bowed his hand and said to Sima  Fu returned the gift.  "Fu will go back to the mansion immediately to report to his father. I will wait for the Marquis to visit Sima Mansion tomorrow." After Sima Fu returned the gift, he chatted with Lu Rui for a few words and then left the prefect's mansion, not staying long.  "Brother Rui, the Sima family is indeed a family with a century-old heritage. We are neither humble nor arrogant when we see it, and we do things very quickly. It is really not easy to deal with." Cao Chong grabbed an apple and bit it. Sima Fu's performance was different from that of the Cao family members.  The performance is different.  This is the difference between the nouveau riche and the aristocratic family.  "That's right, it's not easy to deal with. We have to be more careful tomorrow." Lu Rui nodded. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the upper-class Wuhan family and the lower-class Wushi clan had no family.  Sima Fu didn't show any awe when he saw Lu Rui. It seemed that he looked down on high-ranking officials from poor families. Even if a person from a poor family became a royal family, he would still be a poor family.  There is no deterrent to the aristocratic family, the only deterrent is the knife!  At night, Sima Fang and Sima Fu, the bosses of the Sima family, were sitting in the study room, sitting first and second.  "Shuda. What did you find when you went to the prefect's mansion today?" Sima Fang lay on the seat and glanced at Sima Fu.  "Father, it seems that Lu Rui has sent someone to investigate our Sima family today in the Prefect's Mansion. He has a very clear idea of ??the child's character." Sima Fu cupped his hands and answered Sima Fang.  "Shuda, are you upset? Your mind is upset when others know your character? How can you achieve great things? You still claim to be cautious and do things right." Sima Fang sensed Sima Fu's uneasiness and scolded him unhappily.  Said Sima Fu.  "Father?" "Shuda, you are too young. Sima Bada's fame has made you a little complacent. Do you look down on Lu Rui, who came from the Cao family? The Cao family started with Cao Jie  , has been the head of the family for three generations, and can be regarded asA wealthy family, not to mention a poor family also has amazing talents.  Remember, any of your opponents may be a genius!  "Sima Fang began to teach Sima Fu. The common problems of the children of aristocratic families were reflected in all the brothers of the Sima family. Sima Fang made them suffer before they could realize their shortcomings. "Yes, father, the child has been taught.  "Sima Fu bowed his hand to Sima Fang with conviction. "By the way, is Lu Rui coming alone this time or with others?  "Sima Fang nodded. This third son is still obedient. Unlike the second son Sima Yi, who is obedient on the outside but rebellious on the inside. "L¨¹ Rui came alone. It seems that he is Cao Cao's envoy.  "    "oh?  Did you meet Lu Rui alone today?  "Sima Fang stood up from his seat and walked to the bookshelf. "Yes, father, I am meeting Lu Rui alone today. There is no one else but Du Ji.  " "Is there really no one else besides Du Ji?  "When Sima Fang heard this, his expression changed and he asked Sima Fu. "This?  Father, Lu Rui is accompanied by a child, who looks like a bookboy or  "Sima Fu was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Only then did Sima Fu remember that there was a child under ten years old beside Lu Rui, but that was just a child. Maybe he was a bookboy or Du Ji's child?  "snort!  Or should you meet Lu Rui alone?  "Sima Fang threw a bamboo slip in front of Sima Fu. "It's useless for you to claim to be a cautious person. Don't you know that no one can be despised?  " "Father, fatherthis, that is just a child, just a child.  "Sima Fu was so nervous that he wiped his sweat and was stopped by his father. "Child?  Qin Youganluo paid homage to the prime minister at the age of twelve.  Is it okay for a child to be looked down upon?  That is Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Chong, whose courtesy name is Cangshu. He is deeply loved by Cao Cao. I'm afraid he will be the heir to the Cao family in the future. Don't you even know this?  "Sima Fang flicked his hand and returned to the seat. "Cao Chong?  "Sima Fu was stunned for a moment. Is that the legendary prodigy in the world? It seems that he doesn't look so smart. Sima Fu and Lu Rui also talked for a quarter of an hour. Cao Chong didn't seem to have any noteworthy actions. This is the legendary  A child prodigy? It doesn¡¯t look like it, it really doesn¡¯t look like it! ¡°Humph, Shuda.  Didn't you notice Cao Chong?  It shows that this child may really be an amazing child prodigy like the legend says.  "Sima Fang saw Sima Fu's expression and roughly guessed what Sima Fu was thinking. "Father?  " "A ten-year-old child should be at the age of playing. If he is playing around, he will definitely disturb Lu Rui and interrupt your conversation.  But you didn't say a word. This kid must have been silent. You can be so calm at the age of ten. Think about what you were like when you were ten!  " When Sima Fu heard this, he was stunned. Yes, why didn't he notice that Cao Chong was different? When he was ten years old, he was still running around Sima Fang. The few times Sima Fang met his friends, he and his brothers were ignored.  It was destroyed, but this Cao Chong was too quiet! "My child knows that he was wrong, please punish him!"  "Sima Fu shook his head and apologized to Sima Fang. Originally, Sima Fang sent him to see Lu Rui. He was very confident, but he didn't expect that he was said to be worthless by Sima Fang. "Punishment?  This is the father here.  If the enemy is here, do you still have a chance to receive punishment?  You can meet Lu Rui with me tomorrow and act accordingly if something goes wrong again.  Just leave home and learn from your brothers to be independent. Being a father can teach you nothing.  "Sima Fang waved his hand, indicating that Sima Fu could go out. "Yes, father!  "Sima Fu bowed his hand and withdrew, preparing for tomorrow. Sima Fang had a habit of nurturing promising people, even his own sons. Apart from his second brother and eighth brother, his only remaining  He still stays at home because Sima Fang knows that there is still hope for raising these three sons. ¡°Brother Rui!  The food here is so delicious!  "Early the next morning, Lu Rui and Cao Chong went to the morning market in Hanoi wearing casual clothes and under the protection of several guards. Sima Fang met Sima Fang at the dinner. In the morning, it was time to learn about the situation in Hanoi and visit Sima's house.  Influence in Hanoi ¡°Well, it¡¯s good. I didn¡¯t expect that Hanoi County would have such a bustling morning market. It¡¯s even better than Xudu.  "Lu Rui took a sip of rice milk. He didn't expect that there was such fresh rice milk in Hanoi. "Sir, are you from other places? It's your first time in Hanoi?  "The waiter at the shop next to him heard what Lu Rui said and hurriedly stepped forward to join in the conversation. According to his own experience, outsiders who come here for the first time usually ask some questions and he can receive some rewards. "Yes, I am a businessman, come here  Hanoi sells fresh fruits. I didn¡¯t expect Hanoi to be so prosperous.  "Lu Rui nodded, starting from his mind.?Took out a few pennies and handed them to the waiter.  "Shopkeeper, why is the morning market here so busy?" "Hey, guest, you are right to ask someone. If you have any questions, keep asking me." The waiter happily took the copper coins.  Into the arms.  After the waiter¡¯s explanation, it turns out that the morning market in Hanoi is also called Ma Market. It is a morning market dominated by the Sima family. This morning market can be traced back to the first generation head of the Sima family, King Sima Ang of Yin. Sima Ang was originally a descendant of the Qin Dynasty.  The general lived in Guanzhong. After arriving in Hanoi, because he was not used to eating, he sent people to set up a morning market here to prepare Guanzhong delicacies for Sima Ang to enjoy.  After Sima Ang passed away, his descendants still maintained the morning market and it became an industry of the Sima family. The merchants here felt the kindness of the Sima family and privately called it Ma Market. This morning market has always been run by Sima Ang.  The company's management and control has a history of hundreds of years.  What a big deal!  After listening to the waiter's introduction, Lu Rui became more and more surprised by the financial resources of the Sima family.  To maintain the prosperity of a local morning market, it is impossible without strong financial resources. I am afraid that the financial resources of the Sima family are even higher than those of the Cao family, and their level may be much higher.  The commodity economy in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was still in its primitive stage. The underdevelopment of the economy made the private economy in different places different. In big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, there would be morning and evening markets. There were many merchants traveling from north to south, and the demand was naturally high.  many.  But this kind of economic development requires a stable political environment.  After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, both Chang'an and Luoyang declined. The morning market in Xudu was due to Xudu's political role, so it is not surprising that there is a morning market. The morning market in Hanoi is actually comparable to that in Xudu, which shows that the people gathered in Hanoi  A lot, comparable to Xu Du.  This is not so easy to say.  First of all, Hanoi must have a strong political and stable environment, which requires strong military strength. This military strength certainly does not refer to the military strength of the Han Dynasty, but to the strength of a family like the Sima family.  After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, warlords fought in various places, and even Chang'an and Luoyang could not avoid it.  Hanoi can actually stay out of the incident, which shows the armed strength of the Sima family.  Secondly, long-term stability brings prosperity to business. Hanoi is so prosperous, and the biggest beneficiary of the economic benefits is not the court, but big families like the Sima family.  The foundations of the Cao family in Qiao County were hit during the turbulent times, and they have only recently been slowly recovering.  This is probably much worse than the Sima family.  Finally, it is the kindness of people. After Cao Jie started his career, he spread kindness in Qiao County and the court. This is why Cao Cao can still gain strong appeal even after he is an eunuch.  The people only care about who can bring them benefits, not who is in charge of the court.  The Sima family's Ende in Hanoi is worse than the Cao family's in Qiao County. If the Sima family pours water, it may be difficult for Cao's army to win the hearts of the people in Hanoi.  "Cangshu, let's go." After breakfast, Lu Rui took Cao Chong out of the tea shop and returned to the prefect's mansion.  Just by looking at the morning market in Hanoi, you can see the influence of the Sima family here. The gentle policy seems to be the best way to deal with the Sima family.  "It is really an honor for our Sima family to have the Marquis come to our Sima Mansion. I am so sorry to welcome you from afar!" In the evening, Lu Rui brought Cao Chong to Sima's home. After dinner, Sima Fang came to the front hall.  Meet Lu Rui.  "Fang Gong is so polite. Fang Gong is the pillar of the country and a senior. Rui should come and visit!" After Lu Rui heard Sima Fang's voice, he followed the direction of the voice and saw Sima Fang, an energetic man.  old man.  "Master Marquis, please!" "Mr. Fang, please!" Then Lu Rui and Sima Fang took their seats.  "Fang Gong, Rui is a junior. It's better not to call me by my cousin, Fang Gong. It's better not to call me Marquis because of his empty name." Since you want to be gentle, you must give Sima Fang a certain amount of respect in words.  "Okay! Since the Marquis said so, I won't be polite. I'll call the Marquis by his cousin, Bufan!" "You're welcome, Mr. Fang!" "By the way, this child is  ?" Sima Fang pretended to be confused when he saw Cao Chong.  "Fang Gong, this is the youngest son of the Prime Minister, Cao Chong, Cao Cangshu!" Lu Rui pointed at Cao Chong and introduced to Sima Fang.  "Hello, Grandpa Sima! I want to eat this!" After saying that, Cao Chong rushed to Sima Fang, picked up a piece of pastry and ran back to Lu Rui.  "Brother Chong!" "Fang Gong, I'm sorry, Brother Chong has been spoiled by the Prime Minister. He is so ignorant of etiquette. Rui apologizes to you!" Lu Rui touched Cao Chong's head and signaled Cao Chong not to move.  .  "Hahahaha, it turns out to be Young Master Cangshu whom Cao Chong praised! I have heard about the little prodigy of Xudu for a long time. I didn't expect to see the little prodigy today. He is indeed a talented person." Sima Fang superficially complimented Cao Chong.  , but my heart is waryGet up.  Sima Fu was also stunned for a moment. Is this Cao Chong?  The child who was following Lu Rui quietly yesterday, why did he look different today!  Yesterday, Cao Chong stayed quietly by Lu Rui's side, very understanding of etiquette.  But today's Cao Chong is just like an ordinary ten-year-old child, playing and naughty. Could he be another person?  No, no, if it were a child, there would definitely not be such a big change.  Could it be that this kid already knows how to control his emotions at such a young age?  It's terrible, it's terrible. It seems that my father is right. No one can underestimate it.  "Huh!" Cao Chong made a weird look for Sima Fang, and then continued to eat his pastries.  "Brother Chong!" Lu Rui glared at Cao Chong.  "Fang Gong, I'm sorry, brother Chong" "No need to apologize for Bufan, I also have children. My eight sons were all so naughty when they were young. I'm afraid those who are not naughty will not become famous in the future.  I think Mr. Canshu will be a wise man in the future and will be the best in the world." Of course, Sima Fang ignored Cao Chong. Even though he was a child prodigy, he was still a child, and Lu Rui still had the final say in matters.  "Fanggong Hailiang, the Prime Minister mentioned the Eighth Son of Fanggong in front of Rui many times. Sima Bada, the leader at the time, hoped to be introduced to the Prime Minister's Mansion to work for the Prime Minister, but he did not expect that the Eighth Young Master  " Lu Rui looked at Sima Fang's intention. It seemed that he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and wanted to go directly to the topic. In this case, Lu Rui took the initiative and provoked the topic first.  "Hmph! That traitor actually planned to poison the Prime Minister. I have decided to expel him. There will be no such traitor in our Sima family in the future!" Sima Fang punched hard, and the teacup on the table next to him fell to the ground and broke into pieces.  A few slices.  PS: Thank you for your great support!  !
