Mi Zhu came to Jizhou in person this time,

The main reason is to welcome Liu Bei into Xuzhou,

But the second most important thing,

It's here to unblock these relationships.

At this moment, Sima Fu will do these things,

Placed on the countertop,

Although Mi Zhu is very reluctant to admit it,

But he also had to nod.

"In that case, what does it matter if we offend these people and offend them more harshly?"

Sima Fu asked Mi Zhu again.

"......"

Mi Zhu wants to justify,

But suddenly it turned out that there was no room for justification in this matter,

As Sima Fu said,

Whether or not they use this to compel them to submit,

After Yuan Shao issued this decree,

It is difficult for the Mi family to continue to gain a foothold in Jizhou,

At least for quite some time,

It will be so.

At the same time, there is also the Wei family watching from the side,

That Wei is a celebrity under Yuan Shao,

As long as he's one,

Mijia does not want to have too much development in Jizhou.

Mi Zhu's expression was very gloomy,

Sima Fu looked at the dejected Mi Zhu,

Suddenly, the conversation changed, and he asked:

"Brother Zizhong, dare to ask if the profit of this contraband is higher than that of ordinary commercial goods?"

Mi Zhu was stunned when he heard this,

This kind of problem is known to everyone,

If it weren't for the ridiculously high profits of contraband,

Who will risk killing their heads,

Go and do these bloody deals on the tip of the knife.

Still, he replied honestly:

"It's not the same, even if it's different, it's not too much."

"Then if you can continue to trade these contraband with other races, and deal in ordinary goods in Jizhou, what kind of profit is high?"

Mi Zhu opened his mouth,

Looking at Sima Fu weakly,

But in my heart there was a series of contempt and anger,

You can ask such an idiotic question, and this is still a wise man? Counselors?

Although I cursed secretly in my heart,

But he still replied politely:

"That's a staggeringly lucrative deal of contraband with those of the aliens. However, if you can't pass through Jizhou, how can you trade with other races? ”

He lowered his head with a wry smile.

At this time, the corner of Sima Fu's mouth showed a smile and said:

"If you can provide your Mi family with new trade routes and customers, and even more profitable than trading with the aliens on the grassland, are you willing?"

"What are you!?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he felt that he had just heard it wrong,

I couldn't help but hurriedly asked,

The other people in the room also looked at Sima Fu in surprise,

Only Yan Xing, who has never said a word,

At this time, the corners of the mouth rose slightly,

A strange smile was revealed.

After Sima Fu repeated Fang Cai's words again,

Then they made sure that their ears had not heard correctly.

Mi Zhu jumped up directly from his seat

Unbelievably lost his voice:

"Shu Damo wants to scold me!"

Sima Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"The lord is here, how dare I speak falsely!"

"That'...... Shuda, please speak clearly! ”

Mi Zhu couldn't wait to ask.

Sima Fu's temper was committed again,

Seeing that Mi Zhu Ruci was in a hurry,

He still sells the guanzi,

Unhurriedly asked Mi Zhu and said:

"Brother Zizhong, have you heard of the Japanese people, or Dongying?"

Liu Bei and Jian Yong glanced at each other,

couldn't help but show a puzzled look,

Only Mi Zhu heard these two terms,

But his face sank and explained:

"A long time ago, there was a rumor that there were three sacred mountains in the east of the East China Sea: Penglai, Yingzhou and Abbot. There is also an island to the east of Yingzhou, which is called Dongying, and there are some uncivilized barbarians living on it, and this group of people is called Dongying people or Japanese people. In the second year of Jianwu (57 AD), the king of the Japanese sent an envoy to Han to attack, and he was willing to be the Han vassal and ask the Han emperor to give him a name. Because of his short people, Emperor Guangwu gave him the "Wa Kingdom", and his king was the "Wanu King", and gave him a gold seal of the "Han Wanu King Seal". Later, the Japanese people often invaded the area where we crossed the East China Sea. ”

After a pause, Mi Zhu added:

"These widows are a bunch of robbers and tumors!"

Liu Bei's heart moved, and he asked Sima Fu:

"Shuda, your trade route is related to these widows?"

"Exactly."

Turning his head, he looked at Yan Xing on the side and said:

"Let's ask General Yan to explain the next thing to everyone, he knows better than me."

Yan Xing nodded to Sima Fu,

Then he stood up and saluted Liu Bei:

"Lord, everyone. Here's the thing, I accompanied Mr. Sima for the past few days, and during this time we talked about some anecdotes about how we had been studying in Xia. He studied in Liaodong for a period of time, during which he went to the south of Lelang County. There is a very backward country called Goguryeo, and there are several countries such as Baekje, Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan to the south. It borders the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty. Its people are arrogant and have been working against our dynasty for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but nod and said:

"I know a little bit about it. Gongsun Chan also had some contacts with Liaodong, so he knew some of the situation over there. The four counties of Liaodong are under the control of Gongsun Du, like a country within a country, this person is very ambitious, and quite skillful. Gongsun Du has long developed the four counties of Liaodong into a very prosperous one, and the reason why he has never gone north to Youzhou is that he has been restrained by several countries such as Goguryeo in the south, although there are endless wars between those countries, but for my Han Dynasty, there is a deep hatred, so they often attack Liaodong and other places from the sea or land. ”

After explaining what you know,

Liu Bei turned his head to Yan Xing and asked:

"I wonder why Yanming suddenly mentioned them?"

Yan Xing hurriedly explained:

"The Wa Kingdom and these countries are across the sea. A large part of the reason why the Japanese slave king came to the Han Dynasty to pay tribute was because he was often at a disadvantage in the conquests with the foreign races. Now, more than 100 years later, the Wa Kingdom has gradually gained the upper hand, but it is still unable to conquer these countries. ”

After a pause, Yan Xing continued:

"When he was studying, he happened to participate in a war between the Wa Kingdom and Baekje, and once saved a person. This man was an illegitimate son of the Uno king, and he was very much loved by the Uno king, and he often exchanged letters over the years. ”

Mi Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly spoke:

"What General Yan means is that you can get in touch with them."

Nodding, Yan Xing then said to Liu Bei:

"The Japanese man's name is Shou Linan, and he has mentioned to me many times that he wants me to provide him with some supplies to attack Goguryeo, Baekje, and Samhan, and they are willing to pay a high price to buy them, but at that time, Xia Guan was in Liangzhou, and although the master was studying art in the mountains, he was unable to provide him with help in this regard."

After Yan Xing's explanation,

Everyone probably understands the reason,

Mi Zhu asked with a fluttering eyebrow:

"Do you still have contact with each other?"

Yan Xing nodded again and said:

"Not long ago, he had just written a letter, and he had brought up this topic at that time, but the lower official had just joined the lord, so he never mentioned it to the lord, and hoped that the lord would forgive the sin. According to Xia Guan's suspicion, the second son also hoped to improve his status in the eyes of the king of the Japanese slave through this matter, so he raised this matter several times. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand,

Magnanimous Authentic:

"What is the sin of this Sakura, a certain family is not that kind of angry person. Yan Ming is also very reasonable, so it seems that the other party is also very pressing"

Mi Zhu Gao Xin stroked his palm and said:

"Xuande Gong, Mr. Sima's plan is very clever, if we can really trade with the Japanese people, then not only will we not have any losses, but we will be able to obtain much higher profits than trading with the grassland aliens."

Liu Bei was also excited when he heard this,

Hurriedly asked:

"Is that true?"

Mi Zhu nodded and said:

"Although the Japanese people are very backward, their technology in building sea ships is very flirtatious, so they can intrude on the coastal areas, and the Japanese people also have a lot of treasures, such as pearls, corals and other things, which are also very precious and rare treasures. It's just that the Japanese people are mainly robbers, and the language is not comprehensible, so there are no people who do business with them, but there have been fishermen from our dynasty to Dongying, and brought back these objects from there, but because of our dynasty, the technology of building sea ships can not catch up with the Japanese country, therefore, many people who admire it, it is very rare to be able to come back one or two ships out of ten boats. However, all of them return with a full load, so every year there are still many people who are willing to take risks to go to the Japanese country. ”

Hearing Mi Zhu's solution,

Liu Bei's eyes also lit up,

Although he was only born poor,

But over the years, he has followed Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao,

Gongsun Chan is a person who pays attention to pomp and luxury,

And Yuan Shao doesn't have to,

The fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family, the family wealth is countless,

People like them,

Naturally, there will be no shortage of valuables at home,

Therefore, under Liu Bei's ears and eyes,

For the preciousness of pearls, corals, etc.,

I also have some understanding.

Hearing Mi Zhu, the country is rich in these treasures,

He couldn't help but be moved.

Seeing the joyful looks on the faces of Liu Bei and Mi Zhu,

The matter of trade with the Japanese kingdom,

Basically, it can be determined,

Sima Fu and Yan Xing glanced at each other vaguely,

The smile on the corner of his mouth flashed.

Liu Bei suddenly thought of an important thing,

opened his mouth and asked Mi Zhu:

"Zizhong, is there a war horse in the Wa Kingdom?"

Mi Zhu was slightly stunned when he heard this,

In an instant, he understood Liu Bei's thoughts,

He always wanted to form cavalry,

When trading with the steppe barbarians,

It is also a request to buy war horses,

The same is true today.

Mi Zhu smiled bitterly and said:

"Xuande Gong, the Wa country is an island country, and the Wa country also has horses, but they are inferior to the ordinary horses in the Central Plains, their bantam horses are more suitable for the mountains, but the combat ability of the plains is very low."

Liu Bei nodded in disappointment,

In the past, he was very envious of Gongsun Zhan's 'White Horse Righteous Servant',

After fighting with Lu Bu some time ago,

It strengthened his urgent desire to form a cavalry.

And his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei, whom he relied on the most,

They're all right away,

If you can form cavalry,

Let them both be in command,

I am afraid that the strength under Liu Bei's command will be qualitatively improved.

Liu Bei showed a depressed look,

Sima Fu said at this time:

"It's an easy thing to do."

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Sima Fu in surprise,

The other party smiled at him chic and said:

"My lord, Brother Fang Caizi Zhong once said, the Japanese people are good at building sea ships, so we will trade with the Japanese people, and then we can enter the four counties of Liaodong by sea at the same time, and we can also trade with the barbarians of the grassland. Or buy other areas of Jizhou. In short, having mastered the passage on the sea, it is not impossible for us to buy war horses, but it is relatively troublesome. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this,

Mi Zhu also said on the side:

"That's right, as long as you can control the sea route in your hands, it is only a matter of time before you buy a war horse. And the grassland barbarians have Su Da's shopkeeper on the side, and they will definitely not disappoint Xuande Gong. ”

Liu Bei twisted his beard with one hand,

A smug smile appeared on his face.

Yan Xing tentatively asked:

"Lord, when will I contact the hand-powered man?"

Liu Bei said without thinking:

"Naturally, the sooner the better. However, after we have searched for those guys, I am afraid that the evacuation trip will also be delayed for a long time, so that ten hours will be even more insufficient. ”

Or Sima Fu said confidently:

"The lord doesn't need to worry, this matter is easy to solve."

Seeing Liu Bei and the others turn their eyes to themselves,

Sima Fu then spoke:

"The lord has a multi-pronged approach, on the one hand, he ordered the whole army to be reorganized, and once the army is ready, he will go directly to Xuzhou; On the other hand, they sent competent men to the nearby officials to ask for food and supplies, and ordered them to be secretly transported to West Pyeongchang County; Thirdly, General Yan was ordered to contact the Japanese people as soon as possible and make them wait at the mouth of the river, so that our army could transport the surplus materials collected along the river to the East China Sea, and then the Japanese would transport them to Xuzhou for us. ”
