Ten days later, Gao Cheng returned to Huai'an with a fleet of hundreds of ships and more than a dozen large ships, on the White Horse Lake, the breeze was light, the water waves were light, and there were still a few miles away from the water village, and Gao Tai and Zhang Chen drove a boat to meet them.

"Childe, you're finally back!"

Gao Tai has been guarding the family business in Huai'an, and he has not seen Gao Cheng for a long time, and he is worried in his heart, so he looks at Gao Cheng and finds nothing abnormal, so he is relieved.

Gao's foundation is tied to Gao Cheng, if he has any accidents, the originally thriving Huai'an Gao clan will collapse in an instant. So Gao Taiming knew that Gongzi was strong, and he couldn't help but be worried.

"Brother Ziming!" At this time, a figure came out of the cabin, this person was carrying a hat, it was Mi Zhu who should be an official in Xiapi, he knew the news that Gao Cheng was about to return, and quietly came to Huai'an.

Gao Cheng saw them coming to greet them, and hurriedly took Xi Zhicai, Lu Dai and Zhang Fei to the opposite boat, and after he came up, he grabbed Mi Zhu's shoulders and said with a smile: "Zizhong! I didn't expect you to come to Huai'an in person! Thank you so much this time, if you hadn't collected a lot of grain and grass for me, my plan to collect the displaced people and resettle them would not have been implemented at all!"

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "These are all trivial matters, Ziming doesn't need to be so polite, by the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the Taishou of Lujiang County!"

Gao Cheng laughed, as his power continued to grow, Mi Zhu valued him more and more, and now the relationship between the two families is very close, Mi's caravans are all over the southeast, not only can purchase grain and grass for Gao Cheng, but also through the channels of the caravan, Gao Cheng will exterminate the bandit cottage and the loot of the Zhang caravan these days to various places to sell the stolen goods. Money, food, channels and intelligence, these are the three great help that Mi gave to Gao Cheng.

At the same time, the strength shown by Gao Cheng leading the troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion also made many families who coveted the wealth of the Mi clan have to put away their means, once a force has a powerhouse from the transcendent realm, it will become very troublesome. And the strength shown by Gao Cheng is enough to deter many families in Xuzhou.

However, with Gao Cheng going to Lujiang, the foundation in Huai'an is about to move, and without Gao Cheng's strength to deter, Mi's future life in Xuzhou may be a little difficult.

Gao Cheng had already thought of this, and felt a little guilty in his heart. However, what should be done still has to be done, even if he owes something to the Mi family, he has to move the foundation and shift the focus to Lujiang.

Then Gao Cheng introduced Xi Zhicai and Zhang Fei to Mi Zhu, and talked with each other for a while, and then he asked Lu Dai and Zhou Tai to lead the fleet into the water village, and he took the others back to Huai'an on horseback.

Gao's mansion has become very elegant after several months of renovation, and the two girls, Gao Ying and Ganyu, immediately smiled when they saw Gao Cheng returning, and hurriedly sent someone to prepare a banquet for Gao Cheng and the others.

In the hall, everyone knelt behind the wooden case, and a pretty maid sent melon and fruit wine, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up after seeing the wine, and he immediately picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass. shouted: "Refreshing! These days can suffocate my old Zhang!"

Mi Zhu said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Yide is also a good wine person, there are a few jars of good wine in the next house, I will send someone to send it in a few days, and let Brother Yide taste the taste of my good wine in Xuzhou!"

"This is good! Brother Mi is really refreshing, if you have any difficulties in the future, just look for me!" Zhang Fei immediately laughed when he heard that there was good wine, and his good impression of Mi Zhu rose rapidly.

Gao Cheng knelt down and sat on his head, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, and then he thought of the right thing, put down the wine bottle and said to Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, in a few days, I will go to Lujiang to take office, why don't you go with me! If I leave Xuzhou, with the strength of the Mi clan alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop Cao Bao and Zang Ba from joining forces to suppress it!"

Mi Zhu said: "Thank you Ziming for your kindness, but now Zang Ba's troops in Kaiyang County in Langya Country have left Xiapi, and without Zang Ba, Cao Bao alone doesn't dare to do anything with me!"

Xi Zhicai was not clear about the situation in Xuzhou for the time being, and after listening to the two of them, he understood Gao Cheng's situation in Xuzhou.

Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, although Mi Zhu was not in government affairs and could not lead troops to fight, he was proficient in business, and the Mi family was rich in the world, if he could follow him to Lujiang, he could get unimaginable benefits. It's a pity that Mi Zhu has no intention of leaving Xuzhou for the time being. After all, Xuzhou is the foundation of the Mi family. Once the foundation is shaken, the Mi clan will be in great danger.

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly at this time and said: "Brother Mi, if there is chaos today, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is strong and strong, and families around the world are also constantly accumulating strength, in case there is another war in the world, the prosperity of Xuzhou must be the primary goal of people with hearts!"

"Not long ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion poured into Pengcheng, which has caused a heavy blow to Xuzhou, if there is an influx of displaced people into Xiapi next time, Xiapi will also follow in the footsteps of Pengcheng, Mi's rich world, everyone knows this. When the time comes, in the chaos of war, no amount of money can be saved!"

What Xi Zhicai said is the truth, the last time Pengcheng was in turmoil, let the entire Xuzhou family know that the current world is gradually chaotic, and all the families are accumulating strength and consolidating Wubao. There are also some poor people, worried that war may continue to occur in Xuzhou, and many people have packed up their family business and have gone to Yangzhou for refuge.

If Gao Cheng hadn't appeared, Lu Dai, Xu Xuan, Chen Jiao and Zhang Zhao would have already settled in Yangzhou at this time.

When Mi Zhu heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and what the other party said made his heart tremble, once the state and county were in chaos, the first to be hit was the rich businessman. If the peaceful years, with the terrain of Xuzhou to communicate the north and south, the Mi clan will be based here, and they can get great benefits, but in times of war, Xuzhou, a place where soldiers must fight, will become the grave of rich businessmen.

Xi Zhicai noticed his expression and continued: "The Lujiang River is located south of the Huai River, and the south is Yuzhang County. This is a good place to settle down, Brother Mi can seriously consider it, move part of the foundation in advance, and also avoid the damage to the chaotic foundation in Xuzhou in the future! Of course, this is just my suggestion, Brother Mi can think about it himself and then make a decision. ”

After Xi Zhicai knew about the Mi family, he attached great importance to the information of the caravan, and if the Mi family really took refuge in Gao Cheng, instead of this cooperative relationship, Gao Cheng's power could increase several times in an instant. At that time, not only Lujiang, but also the entire Yangzhou will be a powerful force.

Mi Zhu pondered for a moment, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "What the drama military master said is very reasonable, but to say something boastful, the foundation of the Mi clan is too big, and it is not possible to migrate if you want to, and Tao Gong will definitely not watch the Mi clan leave Xiapi!"

"In this way, after a few days, I will let the second brother come and let him go to Lujiang to temporarily transfer part of the foundation to the past! If there is chaos in Xuzhou as the military advisor said, I will go to Brother Ziming again!"

When Gao Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "That's fine, Zizhong rest assured, with me in Lujiang, Zifang will definitely not have any accidents!"

Mi Fang is still young, Gao Cheng doesn't expect him to have any ability, what he values is Mi Fang's identity. As long as he is in Lujiang, his contact with the Mi family will not be interrupted.
