Chapter 240: Jin Shan
It's great that my brother can think so. It's rare for my brother to come to Yecheng once. This time, I will play in Yecheng for a few more days and see the customs of Jizhou. My little sister can also get together with my brother! Mi Zhen said.
I want to be a brother too! It's just that your second brother is a little worried about being a brother at home alone, Yuan Shao was defeated in Xuzhou and is now retreating to Langya, Liu Bei took the opportunity to occupy the East China Sea, our Qu County is under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea, and now Liu Bei will definitely recruit troops in the East China Sea. In this way, it will definitely make money and food for the brothers. Because of your affairs, your second brother has a grudge against Liu Bei, if your brother is not there, I am afraid that your second brother will be angry and cause trouble. Mi Zhu said.
After all, Mi Zhen was married to Liu Bei, although they have not been together for a few days, they can't talk about deep feelings. But when I heard that Liu Bei was in the East China Sea, I was a little embarrassed.
Otherwise, my brother will stay in Yecheng for three days, and he should accompany his little sister to catch up with the old days. Three days later, the younger sister personally sent her brother back to Xuzhou.
So it was very good, and then the brother disturbed. Mi Zhu said.
The two brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and Zhang Jie arranged a banquet to entertain Mi Zhu.
In order to make it convenient for their brothers and sisters to relax, Zhang Jie ordered someone to secretly protect them, and for three days, Mi Zhu and his two brothers and sisters walked around Yecheng.
Zhang Jie's study in the state pastoral mansion, Zhang Jie said: Brother Zizhong, what are your plans for the future?
Zhu is going back to Xuzhou tomorrow, and he came to see Shimin today, just to discuss with Shimin, what should I do in the future?
Now Liu Bei has taken the East China Sea with Jingjing, and Zhu's Qu County is under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea. If Liu Bei borrows money and food from me, what should I do? Mi Zhu asked.
Zhang Jie said: Liu Bei will definitely not be able to occupy the East China Sea for a long time, neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao will let him occupy the East China Sea. It's just that both sides of the Pengcheng battle were injured this time. For a while, Liu Bei took advantage of the loophole. Just wait for Yuan Shao to slow down. Troops will definitely be sent to the East China Sea. Don't look at Yuan Benchu's defeat to Cao Cao, but if he is allowed to deal with Liu Bei, the bandits that Liu Bei pulled in Runan are not Yuan Shao's opponents at all. I estimate that Liu Bei won't be able to hold on for even a month.
Brother, tell me the truth, how much food do you have?
It's not that the younger brother wants his brother's support, but I'm afraid that these properties of yours will fall into the hands of Yuan Shao! It can also bring you ruin.
Since the people of the world have asked each other, I will tell the truth! The Mi family has been in business for generations, and since their grandparents, they have been one of the best businessmen in this Han dynasty. Among them are engaged in salt, iron, silk. and so on are very profitable.
At present, Mijia has more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, which is available in the East China Sea, Xiapi and other places. In fact, I haven't been to liquidate how many there are, and many of them are handed over to the next people. At present, in the granary, there should be tens of thousands of stone grains.
Money, I haven't counted copper coins, probably tens of millions. These are placed in the treasury.
The main thing is gold, which has been stored in the family since the ancestors. First, gold is easy to store and does not take up space. Second, gold is easy to maintain its value. At present, all the gold is hidden underground. I haven't weighed how many there are. If all of them are taken out, I want to help the people of the world raise 100,000 troops for two or three years, and it should not be a problem. Mi Zhu said.
Hearing this, Zhang Jie was shocked in his heart. Damn, I didn't ask for two or three years about raising an army of 100,000, what is the situation? Lao Tzu and Gongsun Zhan have been fighting for so many years, isn't it because they have no money and dare not recruit on a large scale! Lao Tzu killed so many families in Jizhou to dig up how much grain?
If Cao Cao gets this, when will Lao Tzu be able to take the Central Plains. It's a mountain of gold
Shimin won't tell you anything, I was optimistic about Liu Bei originally, but Liu Bei's later performance disappointed me too much. Now the people of the world have both the ability and the strength, and I want to help you calm down the troubled times as soon as possible. It's just that my brother's money and food are in Xuzhou and other places in the East China Sea, and it is too difficult to transport it to Jizhou through Qingzhou, with Yuan Shao in between.
Zhang Jie nodded and said: Don't worry, let me think about it.
If you have it, what if you use a boat to transport it to Bohai in Jizhou by sea? From Qu County (later Lianyungang City), take the sea route by boat, bypass Donglai County (later Shandong Peninsula) in Qingzhou along the coastline, and then you can go directly to Bohai County. Although the road is a bit far, Yuan Shao does not have a navy, and Liu Bei does not even have a boat. As long as you get on the boat, you will be safe all the way.
Mi Zhu thought for a while and said: It's feasible, but now that Liu Bei is in the East China Sea, I'm afraid he will find out! When the time comes, it will be troublesome. This person seems to be benevolent and righteous, but the city is very deep. No one can guarantee that he will not be moved when he sees the money and food.
What my brother said is that with so much money and food, if you don't feel tempted, you won't be human. Does my brother have a dock on the sea in Qu County? Zhang Jie asked.
Yes, Qu County is close to the sea, and there are two piers. Mi Zhu said.
Great, brother will go back this time, I will send someone to go with you, and then I will send a fleet to Qu County. I'll contact you when I get to Qu County, and I'll let them all listen to your arrangements when I get to Qu County.
Brother, please rest assured, Liu Bei has only a few thousand men in the East China Sea, and he still has to guard Tancheng, and there will be no more than a thousand people in Qu County. I will send two fierce generals to accompany you, you can rest assured! If Liu Bei comes to borrow money and food before our fleet arrives, you can send him a little bit to save his life. Got it?
With Liu Bei's personality, as long as his brother is willing to send a little, he generally will not directly turn his face and deny people.
When my men arrived, he just wanted to turn his face and didn't have the ability.
Brother, at present, all the candidates in the world are competing for hegemony, although the people of the world have the first opportunity, but with the help of the elder brothers, the people of the world will be like a tiger with wings.
Rest assured, brother, the people of the world are not ungrateful. Wait for Jie to calm the Central Plains, and he will never treat his brother badly. At that time, if there is a condition, Shimin will find a way to return it to his brother. If the elder brother likes to stay in Xuzhou, Shimin will let the elder brother serve as the assassin of Xuzhou. If the elder brother wants to serve in the court, the elder brother below the third prince will be selected.
Hearing Zhang Jie's promise to be an official, Mi Zhu was of course happy in his heart, no matter how rich a businessman is, he is also a businessman, and he is looked down upon by scholars. can serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, this is a feudal official. I was overjoyed.
Shimin is polite, a little money and food can help my brother, and Shimin doesn't have to care too much. Besides, how can he be the assassin for his brother, I just hope that the people of the world can be good for Zhen'er, and there is nothing else to ask for for my brother. Mi Zhu said.
My brother has been driving in Xuzhou for many years, how can he not be a stabber? This matter is decided, but now the people of the world have not yet hit the Yellow River, and it is too early to say this.
Come on, please Zhang He, Dianman, Jiang Wan come to my study. Promise!
Brother, I'll send you to protect you. Dian Man is Dian Wei's son, who is strong in martial arts, and he is by your side, not afraid of the younger generation plotting against his brother.
It didn't take long for the three of them to come to the study. I've seen the lord.
Zhang Jie said: Seat on, this is the former Xuzhou Don't drive Mi Zhu, and he is also the brother of my Mrs. Mi.
I've seen Mi Bei Drive! Humane.
Well, long story short. Junyi, Gongyan, Man'er. I want the three of you to do something important.
You take my warrant to Bohai and gather all the big ships, and you can also bring the boatmen I got from Liu Biao. Then drive the boat along the coastline to the wharf of Qu County, Donghai County, Xuzhou.
