Mi Zhu pondered for a long time, but he was still worried, obviously, what Yuan Chang said made him a little difficult to accept or understand, and it was estimated that he could not reverse it in a short time. Of course, Yuan Chang is not in a hurry about this, as long as a seed is planted in Mi Zhu's heart, Liu Daer is a hypocrisy, I believe that sooner or later it will take root and sprout!

Finally, after a long time, Mi Zhu raised his head and apologized: "Yuan Taishou, let you wait for a long time, Zhu is a little rude, I hope Yuan Taishou will not blame!"

Yuan Chang waved his hand and said generously: "It's okay, I also know that this kind of thing is difficult for you to accept for a while." However, I believe that Zizhong has his own judgment and will make a correct choice. ”

Of course, Yuan Chang's so-called correct choice is naturally to choose Yuan Chang. However, Mi Zhu smiled noncommittally at Yuan Chang's words and did not make any answer.

"By the way, Yuan Taishou, you said earlier that there are two reasons why Zhu defected to other forces. The first is self-preservation, Yuan Taishou thinks that Zhu should take refuge in you is the best choice; the second is to make meritorious contributions, so Yuan Taishou thinks that Zhu should take refuge in Liu Pingyuan, or still choose Yuan Taishou?"

Obviously, Mi Zhu would ask like this, and he had roughly guessed that Yuan Chang would answer like this, so there was a slight ridicule in his tone.

Regarding Mi Zhu's ridicule, of course Yuan Chang would not mind. Because, as Mi Zhu guessed, the answer Yuan Chang gave was himself.

"As Zizhong guessed, Ben Taishou thinks, or choose Ben Taishou!"

Yuan Chang smiled confidently, and his words seemed to be taken for granted. And in fact. When it comes to the choice of self-preservation, Yuan Chang and Liu Bei are both good choices, and Yuan Chang has to recruit talents for himself. Of course, it is to blow himself up and be unique, but when it comes to making meritorious contributions, from the essence of Mi Zhu, it is definitely the best choice to take refuge in Yuan Chang.

Historically, Mi Zhu took refuge in Liu Bei. and married his sister to Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei did not marry a wife, but only took a concubine, because Liu Bei also felt that he was a lone star. As long as it is his wife, he will die early, and before that, Liu Bei has had several wives, therefore. Even though Liu Bei loves Mrs. Gan very much. Nor did he make Mrs. Kimmar his wife. So, what does Mrs. Gan have to do with Mi Zhu? The relationship between this is very big!

When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he was captured by Lü Bu, and Liu Bei's concubines were all captured by Lü Bu. Kill Cao Cao's Xuzhou assassin Shi Che Guan. For this, Cao Cao was furious. The army sent to Xuzhou, beat Liu Bei away, and took Liu Bei's family prisoner, the same Mrs. Gan and Mi Zhen, after two difficult friendships, the relationship between Mrs. Gan and Mi Zhen is naturally a step further; Later, in order to let Zhao Yun and Liu Chan get out of trouble, Mi Zhen committed suicide by jumping into a well, even if Mrs. Gan was for this, she would definitely take care of the Mi family. According to this development, the Mi family is naturally either rich or expensive. However, unfortunately, Mrs. Gan also died of illness after the Battle of Chibi, and now, the position of the Mi family is a little awkward.

When Liu Bei was down, it was Mi Zhu who funded Liu Bei with the Mi family's billions of wealth, so that Liu Bei could get through the most difficult period. However, from this point of view, Mi Zhu only funded Liu Bei in terms of money, and did not make any achievements in other aspects, such as attacking cities and plundering land, and making suggestions, none of the Mi family could do it. Moreover, before Mi Zhen committed suicide by jumping into a well, she did not leave an heir for Liu Bei. Therefore, the relationship between Liu Bei and the Mi family is a little delicate.

Later, Liu Bei lived in Yizhou, led the king of Hanzhong, and Mi Zhu was named the general of Anhan, and his status was higher than that of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others, which shows that Mi Zhu's treatment is thick. However, if you investigate carefully, you will find that Mi Zhu's General An Han is just a nice title, but the real power is not at all. As a general, he didn't dare to say that there were 100,000 horses, but there must be 10,000. However, Mi Zhu is not a soldier, and the meaning is worth pondering. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Liu Bei is buying people's hearts by doing this, telling everyone: See, Mi Zhu is useless to me now, but he once helped me, I will give him such a high honor, as long as you work hard, you can also do this.

Such a title sounds very good, however, for some people who want to make a contribution, such a title is not as good as a captain, or even a centurion, or even a commander, at least the centurion and the commander have soldiers under their command to command, and they can also make achievements and win higher positions. Mi Zhu got such a position, they were already above Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, do you still want to make meritorious service to get a higher position, so what other position is there besides Liu Bei's position? Therefore, Mi Zhu's General An Han is a very embarrassing position.

Looking at Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang, he has been following Liu Bei for a long time, and the credit is not small. Following Liu Bei to be able to obtain the position of Taishou in such an important city as Nanjun can be regarded as treating him favorably. However, Guan Yu looked down on Mi Fang, which indirectly led to Mi Fang's surrender to Eastern Wu, so that Guan Yu was defeated and died, which affected the entire foundation of Shu Han. It can be said that Guan Yu died by himself. How about Guan Yu, let's not mention it for the time being. From another point of view, if Mi Zhen was still alive, or if Mi Zhen left a son to Liu Bei, would Guan Yu treat Mi Fang like this?

Therefore, if the Mi family still chooses to follow Liu Bei according to the trajectory of history, the result may still be like that. Yuan Chang has said everything he should have said, as for how Mi Zhu chooses, Yuan Chang can't be the master. If Mi Zhu chooses Liu Bei, Yuan Chang can only regret that the two have no fate, or that the fate of the Mi family has not changed!

But it was said that Mi Zhu listened to Yuan Chang's words, and when he saw Yuan Chang's confident look, he was curious in his heart at the moment, and asked incomprehensibly: "Why is Yuan Taishou so confident, Zhu is willing to hear about it!"

Yuan Chang took a sip of wine unhurriedly, and then asked, "Dare to ask Zizhong." In addition to the huge wealth, what else can the Mi family have in this troubled era to gain a foothold? In the troubled times, it is better to have a strategist who gives advice and turns the tide. The second is the fierce general who commands thousands of troops and horses, and the fierce general who attacks the city and plunders the land. Zizhong may feel that he has no money, how to recruit soldiers, how to buy equipment, how to ensure food and grass, and of course, in this respect, money is also very important. However, there are so many wealthy businessmen in the world, and how many powerful soldiers can there be? Wealthy businessmen came to take refuge, but the strategists and generals did not necessarily come to take refuge. Such a statement. Does Zizhong have any objections?"

"What Yuan Taishou said is exact, and Zhu thinks this is true!"

Regarding Yuan Chang's words, Mi Zhu did not have any objection. Just like his Mi Zhu, he is the richest man in Xuzhou. Billions of family fortunes. However. Even so, Tao Qian treated him politely on the surface, but secretly wanted to rob him of the Mi family's wealth. Let's take a look at another family in Xuzhou, Cao Bao's family. Cao Bao's Cao family is also not small, and he has a lot of wealth. However, so far, Mi Zhu has not seen Tao Qian's intention to fight the Cao family. Why? Isn't it because Cao Bao has some military talent and can lead Tao Qian to the army. As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find. Therefore, the Mi family and the Cao family will have different treatment.

"Since Zizhong, you all agree with Ben Taishou's statement. Then let's move on!"

Yuan Chang paused, and then continued: "The only thing the Mi family can give is money, but how much status can the Mi family gain in this way? Zizhong, you are also an understanding person, so I won't say more." Zizhong also stayed in Bohai County for a few days, and he could feel the business atmosphere of my Bohai County, where as long as there are meritorious people, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, their status is unequal. Even if you are a businessman, as long as you have merit to my Bohai County, you are a meritorious hero, even if it is the family of an official eunuch, you have to salute and show respect when you see you. Of course, Zizhong may think that the name of the businessman is not good, and that is okay. Zizhong has also seen that my Bohai County is full of talents, if Zizhong wants to go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds, there can be Zhao Zilong, Dian Hongfei and others to teach martial arts and lead troops; if you want to rely on planning and making meritorious contributions, Bohai County will also have Guo Fengxiao to teach you; if you want to become a generation of great Confucians, Bohai County will also be led by Cai Bojiao? Whichever road Zizhong wants to take will work, what does Zizhong want?"

In fact, Yuan Chang values Mi Zhu the most is Mi Zhu's business ability, in the era before Yuan Chang crossed, businessmen can control the current affairs and political situation, which can be described as amazing. It is not so obvious in Yuan Chang's country, but in other capitalist countries it is easy to find that most of the power is in the hands of the business giants. However, in today's era, the status of businessmen is extremely low, and even if you are a wealthy businessman, others will look down on you in their bones. Even if Yuan Chang worked hard to improve the status of the businessman, he could not change the situation in a short time. Therefore, Yuan Chang could only put forward multiple choices for Mi Zhu to choose, and the primary purpose now was to leave Mi Zhu in Bohai County. Later, when Mi Zhu knows the importance of businessmen, maybe he will change his mind.

Listening to Yuan Chang's words, Mi Zhu's heart was naturally pounding!

It can be said that the conditions proposed by Yuan Chang are very favorable, as long as anyone with a little brains will agree to Yuan Chang's proposal. However, Mi Zhu still didn't agree, and the reason why this was so was because Yuan Chang's previous evaluation of Liu Bei made Mi Zhu feel a little resistant in his heart. If Yuan Chang had said these words first, instead of discussing Liu Bei, Mi Zhu would definitely agree to Yuan Chang without saying a word. Of course, if Yuan Chang knew Mi Zhu's thoughts, he would not regret his actions. His senses for Liu Bei are like this, and he will not praise Liu Bei in order to cater to Mi Zhu.

"Yuan Taishou said that Zhu was extremely willing in his heart, but after all, the Mi family is not my own family. Therefore, Zhu still needs to discuss with Zifang, and reply to Yuan Taishou in a few days, I don't know what Yuan Taishou will do?"

Regarding Mi Zhu's words, Yuan Chang just smiled faintly, nodded, and agreed with Mi Zhu's meaning. Both Mi Zhu and Yuan Chang know that Mi Zhu's excuse is very nonsense. Who doesn't know that Mi Fang is not successful in writing and martial arts, he is purely a second ancestor and a gentleman, such a thing needs to be discussed with Mi Fang? Obviously, Mi Zhu still needs some time to think about it, but he is embarrassed to say it bluntly, so he uses this as an excuse, so as not to provoke Yuan Chang's dissatisfaction.

"Yuan Taishou is so reasonable, Zhu is really a little ashamed!"

However, it was said that Yuan Chang and Mi Zhu discussed the matter, so they chatted about the customs and gossip of Xuzhou. Without talking about business, the two chatted very closely.

"The head of the family, Wang Sheng, the housekeeper of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, is outside. said that he wanted to meet Yuan Taishou in person. ”

Just as Yuan Chang and Mi Zhu were chatting happily, Liu Feng, the head of Mi Zhu's guard, whispered a report outside the door, and then stopped talking. As a guard, Liu Feng is undoubtedly qualified and loyal to his duties. As long as Mi Zhu doesn't let Wang Sheng enter the door, Liu Feng won't care whether the other party is the housekeeper of Xuzhou Thorn History, and will blow away.

"Yuan Taishou, the housekeeper of the Xuzhou Thorn History. Do you want to see each other?"

For this Wang Sheng, Mi Zhu was naturally extremely dissatisfied. If he hadn't told Tao Qian at the beginning, how would Tao Qian know the movements of Mi Fang and Mi Zhen. then colluded with the Taishan Yellow Turban Thief Guan Hai to attack Beihai County, and almost let Mi Fang and Mi Zhen fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Thief. Therefore, Mi Zhu longed to kill this Wang Sheng in his heart. However, Wang Sheng was killed directly. Mi Zhu felt that it was too cheap for the other party. So. Mi Zhu already had an idea in his heart, to let Wang Sheng be ruined and perish in pain. Although Mi Zhu is a generous gentleman, he is not without temper. People have reverse scales, Mi Fang and Mi Zhen are Mi Zhu's reverse scales, Wang Sheng actually beat his two closest relatives The idea, Mi Zhu will definitely not let Wang Sheng go easily.

"Listening to Zizhong's tone, it seems that you are extremely dissatisfied with this housekeeper of Xuzhou Thorn History. I wonder if you can tell me more details. How about I be a listener to Zizhong?"

Yuan Taishou was willing to listen. Zhu Zi knows everything and says everything. ”

Mi Zhu nodded slightly, and didn't feel that there was anything that could not be said about this matter. At that moment, he told Wang Sheng's actions in detail. When Mi Zhu said the matter, he suddenly felt a little comfortable in his heart, and his anger had subsided a lot. Therefore, the gratitude to Yuan Chang is self-evident.

"Damn these people to do such a despicable thing. If there are such people under my command, I will cut them with a thousand knives and divide them into five horses!"

Yuan Chang's anger came from the heart, not to show favor to Mi Zhu.

Let's just say that Wang Sheng is a person, and his adultery with a maid is actually not too serious. After all, it is understandable that he is young and vigorous, and the dry wood is burning at one point. However, when he found out that the maid's belly was enlarged by him, not only did he not have the courage to stand up and admit it, but he also gave the maid to other people's homes, which was simply inferior. If this is the case, it will be forgotten, but it is a heinous crime for him to send the maid away and be involved with others, and if it is discovered, it will undoubtedly destroy other people's families. Moreover, after the maid gave birth to a daughter, this guy did not fulfill his father's responsibilities. On the contrary, after her daughter grew up, she felt that the other party had value in use, and instead used her daughter as a tool. Although Mi Zhu didn't say it, Yuan Chang could also guess that when Mi Zhu found out about his problem with Wang Sheng's daughter, she would definitely not have any good end, so to speak, all this was caused by Wang Sheng. This kind of person lives purely to waste food.

"Poor Tao Qian, maybe he wears several green hats on his head and doesn't know it, it's sad! It is said that Tao Qian's two sons are mavericks, and Ben Taishou doubts whether those two sons are Tao Qian's flesh and blood. ”

"Ahem!"

Mi Zhu was almost choked to death by Yuan Chang's words, rolled his eyes, and was quite speechless for Yuan Chang's unabashed behavior. However, in Mi Zhu's heart, he felt very relieved about this. Anyway, you Tao Qian have to deal with my Mi family, Yuan Chang said that you and I are happy. Of course, Mi Zhu will not show it, so as not to destroy his image of a gentleman.

"Hehe, it's just a joke!"

Yuan Chang snorted, glanced at Mi Zhu meaningfully, and said euphemistically: "Looking at Zizhong's expression, I think there is already a way to deal with this person, so it is not much to keep it." Otherwise, Ben Taishou would have let these people walk in and lie down and go out. ”

What Yuan Taishou said is true, although Zhu is benevolent, it is not something that anyone can bully. Besides, what this person has to deal with is Zhu's relatives, and Zhu will not let him go. ”

Mi Zhu did not deny Yuan Chang's speculation, but Mi Zhu did not say anything about his method.

"Haha, happy revenge, this is what a true gentleman does!"

Yuan Chang laughed out loud and said heartily: "Ben Taishou wants to see and see what such a guy who is inferior to a beast looks like!"

"As Yuan Taishou said, Liu Feng, invite that Wang Sheng in!"

Yuan Chang's words were vulgar, and Mi Zhu was very relieved when he heard it. Originally, he didn't want to see Wang Sheng, but since Yuan Chang was interested, Mi Zhu also suppressed his dissatisfaction with Wang Sheng and ordered Liu Feng to bring Wang Sheng in.

"Wang Sheng, the steward of the assassination history in Xiaxuzhou, has seen Yuan Taishou of Bohai County, and he takes the liberty to disturb him, and I hope Yuan Taishou will forgive me!"

Wang Sheng didn't have much respect for Yuan Chang, but had a sense of superiority. It is no wonder that Wang Sheng is like this, he came to Bohai County this time for new salt. Therefore, after arriving in Bohai County, Wang Sheng went around to find out the news to determine the truth about Xinyan. Therefore, Wang Sheng did not see the military parade in Bohai County this time, so he naturally did not know how strong Yuan Chang was. He thinks that he is the steward of the history of a state, and when he came to see the Taishou of a county, he was giving the other party a big face, so how could he not have a sense of superiority?

"Hehe, it turns out that Mi Beijia is also here, and it is rude to be under it!"

Wang Sheng didn't have any respect for Mi Zhu, as Tao Qian's housekeeper, of course he knew Tao Qian's intentions for the Mi family. Anyway, sooner or later, they will be enemies, so there is no need to curry favor with each other.

Mi Zhu secretly sneered in his heart, Wang Sheng could come to the door, obviously knowing that this was his Mi Zhu's residence. Now he still looks like he doesn't know, which makes Mi Zhu feel that this guy is really hateful. Originally, because of Yuan Chang's explanation just now, the anger in Mi Zhu's heart had been somewhat reduced. However, because of Wang Sheng's attitude, Mi Zhu's anger was ignited again.

"Steward Wang has come from afar, and I don't know why?"

Mi Zhu's face was neither happy nor angry, and he asked with an indifferent expression.

"Yuan Taishou, I came to discuss some things with Yuan Taishou on the orders of my family. I don't know if Yuan Taishou has time, how about you and I find a secluded place to sit down and talk slowly?"

Wang Sheng didn't take care of Mi Zhu too much, but focused on Yuan Chang.

"Humph!"

Mi Zhu snorted lightly, then stood up, bowed to Yuan Chang and said, "Zhu still has affairs to deal with, so I will leave it to Yuan Taishou and Steward Wang to discuss!"

After speaking, Mi Zhu left the house proudly, leaving this place to Yuan Chang and Wang Sheng. (To be continued......)
