On this day, Mi Zhu stayed in Dunhuang overnight, and the next morning, rushed to Yumen Pass, came to the front of the pass, paid the tax silver, and the car lined up to go out of the customs. Mi Zhu walked in the middle of the team, thinking in his heart, out of this pass, it is a vast desert, and the wind and sand are in the sky. A voice suddenly came from his ears, and Yao Yao shouted: "Is it Mi Zhu Zhonghu ahead?" ”

Mi Zhu stood on the horse and watched, only to see a person, with a slender figure, a weathered face, and not many beards under his chin, looking at himself. Mi Zhu looked carefully, suddenly remembered someone, and said loudly: "But Gongyouhu? ”

That person was Sun Gan, seeing that it was really Mi Zhu, he strode over, Mi Zhu also hurriedly dismounted, the two stared at each other, Sun Qian said: "I don't want to meet Zizhong here." After a few years, will you be fine? ”

Mi Zhu saw that Sun Qian's sideburns were white, and sighed: "How did the famous people of Beihai fall so far? ”

Sun Qian smiled and said, "After Xuande died, Jian Yong and I fell into the rivers and lakes. One day, I wanted to go west out of Yumen and watch the scenery of the Western Regions, but I didn't expect Yumen Pass to recruit a secretary, so I gladly applied and became the secretary of this Yumen Pass tax collector. In my spare time, watching the sunrise and sunset in the desert is also leisurely. ”

Mi Zhu said: "Blessing the great talent with the public and committing to the little secretary, wouldn't it be buried." I'm going to Shule to trade with the aliens, why don't you come with me? ”

Sun Qian said with a smile: "Such a good opportunity, you can't miss it." ”

Mi Zhu said: "Gongyou go and clean up, let's go together." ”

Sun Qian laughed and said, "Alone, what is there to clean up." Besides, with you, a rich man, you can't get anything. ”

Mi Zhu smiled and instructed his family to bring a horse, Sun Gan turned over the horse and went out with Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu asked about Jian Yong's situation, Sun Qian sighed and said: "Xianhe is funny and wise, similar to Dongfang Shuo. I waited for a few years of wandering, Xianhe suddenly felt homesick and returned to his hometown Zhuo County, and has not been heard from since. ”

Mi Zhu sighed and said: "With the talents of public blessing and constitution, it is like exploring the bag to get the ears of things." The Han Emperor has always valued talents and employs people in an eclectic manner, why is he so wronged himself? ”

Sun Qian said: "Xuande is to me, the master of life." I'm not wronged by my body, I'm afraid of wronging my heart. Didn't Zizhong also have a Zhishi? ”

Mi Zhu said: "My heart is the same as my public heart. At present, with the power of the family, it is enough to run the Quartet and gather more money, which is enough for a rich family. ”

Sun Qian said with a smile: "Zizhong's financial resources, how can he be a rich man?" It is not an exaggeration to rival the country. ”

Mi Zhu said: "The Han Emperor encouraged business, and most of the edicts issued were intended by merchants. I heard that Jiangdong Zhoulang was used by the Han Emperor and guarded the South China Sea. Zhou Lang wanted to go to Luzon. After returning from the Western Regions, I wanted to go to Luzon and explore the road. ”

Sun Qiandao: "Zhou Lang and Sun Bofu are brothers in life and death, and they are actually used by the Han Emperor? ”

Mi Zhu said: "I don't know how the Emperor of Han said to move Zhou Lang? It is rumored that Zhou Lang has been in the South China Sea since he was estranged from Shixie. Shixie has been entrenched in Jiaozhou for many years, and the tree has deep roots, in my opinion, although Zhou Lang is very wise, he will definitely not be able to fight Shixie, the head snake. ”

Sun Qian said with a smile: "Zhou Lang is a romantic character and has a generous temperament, I don't expect it to be half a year, and he will inevitably be replaced by Shixie." ”

Mi Zhu's eyes widened, "Gongyou said this, can you have a basis?" ”

Sun Qiandao: "Although Shixie has been operating Jiaozhou for a long time, the administrative order is far from the Han Emperor. Zhou Lang forcibly implemented the Han Emperor's decree in the South China Sea, how could Shi Xie dare to stop it? With the government decree, the people's hearts naturally returned to the Han Emperor. As the saying goes: It's not that the Raptors are not the river. The Han Emperor appointed the former governor of Jiangdong as a county guard, which has deep meaning. ”

Mi Zhu patted his head and said, "I didn't expect this section." If it weren't for the public's words, it would be in the fog. ”

Mi Zhu and Sun Qian talked and laughed all the way, and after leaving the Yumen Pass, after more than a month of trekking, they came to Shule.

In the city of Shule, there is a great flow of people, all kinds of strange costumes, and merchants with strange faces patrol back and forth to select goods and bargain. Due to the language barrier, it is often the interpretation that comes in handy. Mi Zhu and Sun Gan were amazed while looking for the location of the barge.

When the official in charge of the transaction saw the large merchant coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and help him find a place to stay. Sun Qian sighed: "The market management is in place, making people feel at home." ”

Mi Zhu is also very satisfied with Shule's market management, if you have to worry about everything by yourself, I don't know how much time is wasted, I nodded at the moment and said: "Liu Ye Liu Ziyang, really talented, think about businesses everywhere, it's strange that Shule is not prosperous." ”

Soon after, the market officials found a place for Mi Zhu's caravan, and the warehouse was so large that Mi Zhu's goods could not be placed in a problem. Mi Zhu thanked the official, and the official said, "You don't have to be polite. Lord Liu Ziyang has explained that all the merchants who come to trade are Shule distinguished customers. There are also a few points to inform you that every transaction you have to go to the market management office for the record, and put a voucher, otherwise the goods will not be able to leave the city. For each transaction, the market takes half of the tax amount. ”

Mi Zhu smiled: "It's hard work." I remembered it in the next. ”

After the officials left, Sun Qian said: "The tax amount is set so low, it seems that Liu Ziyang is not a person who exploits it." ”

Mi Zhu said: "Ten percent of the collection of half of the business, the merchant profits, will inevitably flock again." Liu Ziyang is a businessman, not a chicken to take eggs. ”

Sun Gandao: "Looking at the scale of the market, the daily transaction is probably no less than one million, and the daily tax collection is 50,000, which accumulates over time, and the huge wealth is also." ”

Mi Zhu nodded, and asked people to put the goods away and wait for the merchant to arrive.

After Zhou Yu took office, he put on a respectful appearance of Shixie everywhere and began to implement the new policy. The land of the family should not exceed 1,000 acres, and the first fire burned to Shi Xie's head. The decree was promulgated, and everyone looked at Shixie. The Shixie family owns tens of thousands of acres of land in Jiaozhou, and nearly 10,000 acres in Nanhai County. Shi Xie sneered and waited for Zhou Yu to come to the door.

Zhou Yu never went, and the people who came to the gate of Shixie's Mansion were some ordinary people. Originally, the new policy stipulated that after the surplus land of the family was handed over, the county guard government would be the master and would divide it equally among the people for cultivation. Shi Xie, as the leader of Jiaozhou, has been promulgating the new policy for many days, but there has been no action, and the people are unwilling. Although Shi Xie's prestige in Jiaozhou is extremely high, but it is a matter of personal interests, Shi Xie, as the boss of Jiaozhou, does not cooperate with the emperor's will, which is not right in itself, plus someone blows the wind and ignites the fire, and the people near Panyu have flocked to the Thorn Shi Mansion.

Shixie never dreamed that Zhou Yu would come to this hand, so he couldn't help but be furious, took the case, and ordered his son Shihui to transfer troops over to drive the people away. The people chanted the slogan: Assassin Shi Retire the Field! The voice shook half of Panyu.

Shihui brought in 3,000 soldiers and surrounded the unarmed people. The common people were fearless and still shouted loudly. Shi Hui was anxious, when had the Shi family been deflated like this, and ordered the soldiers to beat the people and forcibly drive them away. For a while, the crying was loud, and the soldiers and the people were in chaos.

Shi Hui gritted his teeth and cursed the people for their ignorance. Zhou Yu arrived with 2,000 men and horses, and when he saw the soldiers beating the people, he was furious, pointed to the soldiers and said: "The people, wait for food and clothing, put down your weapons, and line up to the side." ”

How could Shi Hui not guess that the mastermind behind this group of ordinary people was the Zhou Da county guard in front of him, and when he saw Zhou Yu intervening, he was even more angry, and roared and shouted: "Fight me, fight to death!" ”

The soldiers were not restrained by Zhou Yu, and when they heard Shihui's words, they rose up ruthlessly, beating the heads of the common people and bleeding, and many people fell to the ground. Zhou Yu waved his hand and shouted to Zhang He: "Take down the Shihui!" All the soldiers tied me up. ”

Shi Hui sneered, "Zhou Gongjin, you dare to take me?" Do you know whose territory this is? ”

Zhou Yu laughed, pointed to Shihui and said: "Shihui, Shihui, you have read poetry books for so many years, let me ask you, whose territory is this?" ”

Shi Hui was speechless at that time, and only then did he come back to his senses, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

Someone had already reported to Shi Xie, and when Shi Xie heard it, Zhou Gongjin wanted to take his son, so he hurriedly came to the outside of the mansion, hugged his fist at Zhou Yu and said: "It turns out that Zhou Taishou has arrived, and the old man has lost his welcome." ”

Zhou Yu saw Shi Xie, got off his horse, and said to Shi Xie: "The good son of Shi Gong Education actually regards Panyu City as his own private property. ”

Shi Xie's face twitched, and he shouted to Shi Hui: "Beast, don't kneel yet?" Every inch of land in the world is owned by the emperor, how dare you speak out? Facing Zhou Yu, he continued: "Zhou Taishou, it was my godson who had no way to make the dog say a big rebellious word, and the old man was willing to be punished. ”

Shi Xie's hand turned from defense to offense, wanting Zhou Yu to give in, but Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Shi Gong's words are wrong. Shi Hui stood up after the year, as a Han official, but he was so bullying the king, and he was so ruthless to the innocent people, if he didn't do it legally, may I ask Shi Gong, how to explain to the people under his rule? Our emperor often said that the people are the foundation of the country. As an official for one term, shepherding one side, causing the people to suffer unjustified disasters, why did the scholar block the mouth of the world? ”

Shi Xie is a pretentious scholar, and when he saw Zhou Yu bending each other with great righteousness, he couldn't help but be blindsided, and he couldn't answer. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Taishou, the old man ordered the family to give up the land and only keep a thousand acres in response to the emperor's new policy." ”

Zhou Yu won, his face remained unchanged, "What the scholar does, the emperor will definitely commend him." It's just that how to deal with these many innocent and injured people? ”

Shi Xie gritted his teeth and said slowly: "The Shi family is willing to be responsible for all expenses. ”

Zhou Yu said: "The people are just for the sake of the family's food, what Shihui does, why is it too much? Now that the Shigong said it to his face, why not honor it for the people in person? ”

Only then did Shi Xie know how powerful Zhou Yu was, so he turned to his cronies and said, "Take the money and come here." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Shigong, the injuries of the people are different, why not let the doctor judge the injuries and consider the money needed?" ”

Shi Xie's stomach is about to explode, this Zhou Yu has to inch in, if he doesn't do it, what will his son do? Zhou Yu was really caught, and he would throw a mouse trap, so he had to say: "What Zhou Taishou said is very right, come on, go find a few traumatologists." ”

Seeing that Lao Tzu was deflated, Shi Hui pointed at Zhou Yu and shouted: "Come on, take Zhou Yu down!" Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, in this little Panyu, who has the final say? ”

Shi Xie's fire rose up, and he said in his heart: Silly son, why can't you see what Lao Tzu meant?

Zhou Yu looked at Shi Hui, his eyes were shining, Shi Hui was invisibly oppressed, and his eyes were a little dodgy. Zhou Yu shouted: "Where is Zhang He? Take down the Shihui and send it to the capital, and hand it over to the emperor. ”

Zhang He came out in response, and Shihui shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Go up!! ”

Zhang He sneered, like a cold wind blowing on a dog day, and the big gun was slashed, and all the soldiers around Shihui were put down, and the spear was pointed, and the tip of the gun was aimed at Shihui's throat.
