Chapter 104: The Mi Family Meeting

Originally, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Zang Ba could not be used in the military academy at all, and the performance of these people in the official history was decent, no matter what the reason, although they did not have any particularly eye-catching battles on the battlefield, they did not make any mistakes. But Su Xiu's arrival disrupted their original life trajectory, and no one can say whether this will affect their understanding of military affairs.

Moreover, the reputation of the Taishan Army gradually began to spread, and the ability of the Su Xiu Group also surprised everyone, this night was one of the reasons why these generals who had just joined Taishan were willing to put down their arrogant stature to become students.

The development of Mount Tai is being carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of Su Xiu, all of this is in the eyes of the Mi family, from the beginning of the family there are many people who are not optimistic about Mount Tai to now silent, it is obvious that the development of Mount Tai is somewhat beyond their estimates, although they still feel that it is not wise to give up the foundation of Xuzhou to Mount Tai, but there is no convincing.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuzhou was not small, and the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, which broke out in the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), also began to respond to Zhang Jiao. In order to pacify Xuzhou, Emperor Ling appointed Tao Qian as the governor of Xuzhou, and brought some capable teams, this move did curb the destruction of the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou to a certain extent, plus Zhang Jiao's defeat in Guangzong, the Xuzhou Yellow Turban also fled and surrendered.

After the war, Xuzhou was affected by the impact of not small, many people only a little surplus grain was also robbed, Tao Qian in order to appease the people, to Xuzhou large households to requisition grain, and as the whole Xuzhou and even the Han Dynasty the largest grain merchant of the East China Sea Mijia naturally became the first object of requisition.

I don't know how the Mi family climbed up to Tao Qian's Su Xiu in history, but Tao Qian's move will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the major families in Xuzhou, in this case, Xuzhou in history can be maintained under Tao Qian's rule until he makes Xuzhou three times, it can be seen that Tao Qian is definitely not a mediocre talent, and his wrist will definitely not be too docile, otherwise those intertwined families in Xuzhou will not bow their heads.

Since the beginning of cooperation with Su Xiu, the granary of the Mi family has been gradually transferred from Xuzhou to Mount Tai, and the grain stock of Xuzhou rice bank can only last for about a month to sell. This time, Tao Qian asked the Mi family to give 300,000 stones, which was too large for the Mi family.

Knowing the movement on the Xuzhou side, Mi Zhen also had to temporarily put aside the affairs of Mount Tai, hurried back to Xiapi, and discussed with the elders of the family how to survive this crisis.

"Zizhong, I think Tao Gongzu is quite capable, or you go to the state pastor to pay a visit, he first arrived in Xuzhou, the foundation is not stable, he definitely needs the support of the Xuzhou family, my Mi family in Xuzhou also has a hundred years of history, talk to him, maybe you can solve this crisis."

"Third uncle, Tao Qian is a native of Danyang County, Yangzhou, Xuzhou is adjacent to Danyang, and he is not completely rootless in Xuzhou. Besides, the Chen family had already fallen when he took office, and it was not without him to say that the support of the local family in Xuzhou was not without him, and he did not necessarily look down on a family like ours that had no political background before. Now that Tao Qian's grain policy has come down, we will take refuge again, and we will not get too many practical benefits in Xuzhou. ”

"What do you think?" The old man, who was called the third uncle by Mi Zhu, thought about it, saw that Mi Zhen was next to him and did not speak, thinking that most of the opinions that this girl had put forward in the past could help the development of the family, so he began to ask her what she thought.

"Third uncle, in fact, I don't have any ideas, Tao Gongzu wants food, but he is doing the order of requisition, 300,000 stone is a million dollars, to be honest, I don't think he Tao Gongzu wants to give us a little deterrence first. We are businessmen, and although we can afford to lose millions of dollars, it is enough for us to be tight on capital turnover. I feel that there is a shadow of the Chen family in this. ”

"Are you saying that this is the Chen family's instigation of Tao Gongzu in order to suppress us? His Chen family makes mulberry silk cloth in Xuzhou, and there is no conflict of interest with my Mi family, why did he do this? ”

"If there was indeed no conflict of interest before, but the Chen family has climbed to a high level this time, if we can also occupy a place in the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, then it may threaten their position. The father and son of the Chen family have been in the officialdom for many years, and they have been on the rise over the years, in addition to the fact that the children of the Chen family are indeed good, the support of the family behind them is also indispensable. And the eldest brother, as the patriarch, if he also becomes a member of the Xuzhou officialdom, my Mi family will definitely support the family, which is definitely not a small threat to the status of the Chen family, so they will come out to suppress us. ”

"Then in your opinion, how should our Mi family deal with themselves?"

"Now the focus of our Mi family has shifted to Mount Tai, and your uncles are also very clear that since cooperating with Lord Shousu of Taishan County, the development of our Mi family has far exceeded that of before. And Master Su has never done anything about requisition, not even when he is in the most difficult time of Mount Tai, which means that this young county guard has a much longer vision than Tao Gongzu, although he does need our strong support, but it is definitely not necessary for us.

Another point is that our Mi family and Mount Tai have been very close now, if Tao Gongzu really let the eldest brother enter the Xuzhou officialdom, it is not a good thing for my Mi family, whether it is Tao Gongzu or Su Pingdi, they will not let the subordinates appear in the snake and mouse people at both ends, we choose to bet on both sides of the profit is not large, and even bury the root of the family's collapse, so my suggestion is to choose one, full support. ”

"Listen to what you mean, do you choose Tarzan? But Zhen girl, you have to think clearly, on the one hand is Taishan County, the land of projectiles, and on the other hand, there is the rich Xuzhou, although Su Pingdi is indeed young and promising, and his ability is extraordinary, but Tao Gongzu is not easy to match, and he also has Danyang elite soldiers under him, if he really wants to fight in front of the battle, Su Pingdi is afraid that it will be difficult to please. ”

"Third uncle, you haven't been in Mount Tai all these years, you don't know much about many things, I really know how Tao Gongzu is, but Tao Qian is now in the age of knowing his fate, even if he has extraordinary ability, but his son is embarrassed, we are tied to the Tao family Even if the immediate interests are greater than the cooperation with Mount Tai, it will not last long; On the contrary, Su Pingdi has been crowned a marquis in the year of the weak crown, and Mount Tai is thriving under his rule, maybe you don't know that Qingzhou Jinan is now under the control of Mount Tai, and it is obvious which is better or worse than the other. ”
