Chapter 388: Five Million Silver Coins
Mi Zhu learned Zhen Yi and fled from Xuzhou.
Now Xuzhou is Cao Cao's territory.
The new Xuzhou Assassin has suppressed him many times.
Mi Zhu has contributed several batches of grain, but still does not have much status in Xuzhou.
Fortunately, the Mi family has a very wide network in Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu gave up a large amount of family business, and it took more than half a year to secretly dispose of many family properties, and then exchanged them for silver tickets.
This process is very slow, and until now, after Mi Zhu fled, there are still a large number of real estate in Xuzhou that have not been disposed of.
"Big brother, if Zhang Ming turns his face, we will be miserable, and we will have nothing." Mi Fang is still very worried.
"We brought 10 million silver tickets, and when the time comes, we will give Zhang Ming 5 million, and with the help of my little sister, our family will be able to survive." Mi Zhu said.
Mi Fang's face was full of reluctance.
Half of the property.
But Mi Zhu is very determined.
If he stays in Xuzhou, he will be slowly sucked dry by Cao Cao.
And if he went to Jingzhou to find Liu Bei, the distance was far away, it was not easy to operate, and the most important thing was that he couldn't bring his property over.
So, he chose Youzhou.
In fact, it is very simple to escape to Youzhou, he can go to Qingzhou by land, but for safety, Mi Zhu still chose to take the sea route.
"What the little sister said in the letter is true, along the way, Youzhou is very well governed, and when we arrive in Youzhou, in addition to not owning a large amount of land, there are also private soldiers who raise doormen, and we can continue to develop business, and our Mi family will soon rise again."
Mi Zhu is still very confident in his business talents.
Mi Fang had no choice, he could only listen to his brother.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang really want to be officials, embark on a career in office, and become a real family.
However, they don't seem to have a chance.
Zhang Ming will not give them official positions, but he will not restrict their business activities.
Under Zhang Ming, after the imperial examination, only some people recruited by him could become officials, and this proportion decreased year by year.
Only taking the road of the imperial examination is the most convenient and the easiest to enter the officialdom.
The group went all the way to New Beiping.
Zhang Ming did not supervise the passers-by, and this group of people did not enter Zhang Ming's sight.
Everyone finally arrived at New Beiping City.
"It's a big change."
Mi Zhu has been here, and he recruited talents on behalf of Liu Bei back then.
He is somewhat familiar with this Beiping City, but now Beiping City has changed very much.
Soon after entering Beiping City, Mi Zhu and they were discovered.
Here, Zhang Ming's supervision is relatively strict, and there are special people who are eyeing them, but if they don't distinguish between friend or foe, they will be fine as long as they don't enter sensitive areas.
"I'm Mrs. Mi's brother, please go in and report it."
Mi Zhu came directly to the front of the General's Mansion.
Mi Zhu didn't need to hide his identity, he went directly to the Protector General's Mansion, and the soldiers didn't dare to be careless, so they immediately went in to report.
"Two brothers, you can count on coming."
Mi Lan anxiously went out to pick up the two of them.
The three brothers and sisters said goodbye, and they were very emotional.
"Two brothers, please come in."
Mi Lan took Mi Zhu and his family into the Protector General's Mansion.
"Hurry up and inform the general protector that my two elder brothers' family is here."
A soldier hurried to report to Zhang Ming.
Subsequently, Zhang Ming received the news.
"It's interesting, Mi Zhu can actually come to Youzhou."
It's understandable when you think about it.
Zhang Ming specially arranged to meet him.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Zhang Ming met with Mi Zhu.
"Mi Zhu, we have known each other for many years, although there are some misunderstandings, but it is not a big deal, you can come to Youzhou, it is really a wise move."
Mi Zhu also sighed, who would have thought that Zhang Ming, who was not optimistic about him at the beginning, could grow into what he is now.
Now, Tao Qian has long since died, and even Yuan Shao, who was very prosperous, has become ancient.
The current Han Dynasty is the era of Zhang Ming and Cao Cao.
"This is a five-million silver ticket, and in the future, I will ask the general to take care of it."
Mi Zhu took out a large stack of silver tickets.
Zhang Ming took it, put it aside casually and said, "Well, under my rule, as long as you abide by the law, you will naturally give more care." ”
It doesn't matter how many privileges you give, but you are all your own family, and you should still give some convenience.
However, Mi Zhu will have the blessing of Zhang Ming's brother-in-law in the future, and with his business talent, he can also develop quickly.
"I'll give you a big house, live in Youzhou with peace of mind, and wait for me to take Xuzhou in the future, if you want to go back to Xuzhou."
Mi Zhu doesn't dare to underestimate Zhang Ming now, and it is not impossible to take Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu's family was taken care of by Zhang Ming, and they were finally relieved.
After Mi Zhu left, Zhang Ming picked up the five million silver tickets.
"Someone has paid for the road construction, and this Mi family is really rich."
Five million silver coins is enough for Zhang Ming to repair this road.
At the same time, Zhang Ming will also invest in Jizhou and Xuzhou on a large scale.
At the very least, build a batch of farm tools for farmers.
Of course, Zhang Ming did not give it to them directly, but received it directly if necessary, and then handed over a fixed amount of grain to offset it in the coming year.
This can greatly improve the efficiency of farmers in clearing wasteland, and it can also allow the surplus labor force at home to come out and do other things.
The land of China has entered a relatively stable state again.
Zhang Ming started the mighty road construction.
The news reached Cao Cao, and Cao Cao organized all the strategists to study for a few days, but they couldn't figure out what Zhang Ming was going to do.
Building roads, Cao Cao didn't even think about it.
He is now short of money to buy food, and he still needs to pay the army.
Where someone has the money to build what roads.
And building roads is nothing more than a faster mobilization of troops, which, in their opinion, is really unnecessary.
Zhang Ming's approach, few people can understand.
But Zhang Ming knew that the benefits of building a road were too great.
Cao Cao and Zhang Ming were both expanding, and after Cao Cao returned, he began to reorganize his armaments again.
Cao Cao invested a lot of resources to recruit and train his army.
In this battle, he saw the gap, Zhang Ming's army was much better than them in terms of weapons, and the quality of the soldiers was higher than theirs.
So, Cao Cao ordered the whole army to conduct a large-scale training.
Next time, when the war starts again, Cao Cao must catch up with Zhang Ming in terms of the quality of soldiers.
Zhang Ming will certainly not hesitate to invest in the army.
He asked the army to raise a lot of pigs, and the castrated pigs, in addition to the special supply of the restaurant, the army also had meat to eat every day.
Chen Yang was ordered to repair the road, and Zhang Ming personally supervised it for several days, asking them to build the road with high standards, and in the future, they should be able to directly lay the foundation and pave the cement road directly.
This road, in later generations, has eight lanes, and there are some auxiliary roads on both sides, Zhang Ming and they require that a green belt must also be built in the middle of the road, in order to regulate pedestrians, so that they all keep to the right.
100,000 people, building roads in sections, Zhang Ming doesn't know how long it will take, and no matter how long it takes, it will have to be repaired.
The world couldn't understand Zhang Ming, thinking that he would desperately explode troops, and then launch one war after another, and then dominate Kyushu.
However, Zhang Ming actually played road repair, which is incomprehensible.
