On that day, the Zhen family was under great pressure to marry Zhen Mi to Liu Yi, Yuan Shao would not do anything to the Zhen family because of this matter out of fame, he was the lord of the party, and the role of the Zhen family for him was of course well understood, because these things were definitely worth the loss by dealing with them, and even on the surface, he had to show his strength even more. However, Yuan Benchu can be like this, Yuan Xi may not be, no matter how big the Zhen family is, after all, it is just a business, and the business in Jizhou has also lost a lot during this time, fortunately, they have already started to lay out in the three states under Liu Yi, and the income is extremely rich.

The first to see the potential of Youzhou was the Mi family and the Zhen family, Liu Yi was still in Yan County when he had contact with them, and then with the gradual expansion of Langsheng's power, this cooperation was further deepened, and when it came to the importance of business, I am afraid that no one in the world can beat Liu Yi, a series of measures to prosper the economy plus the abundant and scarce resources of different races, in recent years, the Mi and Zhen families have all made great profits, and now the six major businesses in the world have faintly had a tendency to stand out from the crowd.

It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Zhen is so firm in Zhen Mi's family affairs, even if he offends Yuan Shao, the facts also prove that his choice is not wrong, although Liu Yi does not talk about nepotism, he is a very emotional person, and he trusts the Zhen family more than Yuan Shao. But now the problem is here, Liu Yi has no worries after sweeping the surroundings, I am afraid that anyone who knows a little about the general trend of the world can see that there must be a battle between him and the general! At this time, the status of the Zhen family is worth playing, and if it is not handled well, it will be a situation where the boat will be destroyed and people will die. Therefore, this time, Mrs. Zhen came to Youzhou with her son to meet Liu Yi face to face.

In the troubled times, whether it is a big family or a big businessman, they have to cling to one or several forces, such as Chen Liuwei's family to Cao Cao, and Wujun's Lu family to Sun Ce. Clans like the Mi family and the Zhen family are located within one force and want to form a good relationship with the other side of the force, it is even more necessary for the head of the family to have a very clear judgment of the situation, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be great losses if the family is broken, especially when the two forces are in flames, this judgment is even more important.

Cai Yan also knows a little about the purpose of the Zhen family's visit, in the end, she is a young lady from an official family, and her knowledge is different from her, if she wants to say that she is smart, she may not be able to beat Zhen Mi or Xian'er, but that kind of temperament vision is a few points higher, Liu Yi usually attaches great importance to this woman's opinion, and if she listens to it, she will be clear, and if she listens to it, she will not only be able to make decisions but also be able to listen to many opinions, and he will not have any contempt for women in later generations. The husband's great cause needs the support of these merchants, and the development of Zhang Hu and Er Zhang's governance in the state, the donation of the Zhen family is also an extremely important factor, and he will definitely not slack off on such guests.

In the evening, Liu's mother also attended to accompany her, Cai Yan waited on the side, and everyone talked about some interesting things during the banquet, of course, Zhen Yi would not forget to ask about the assassination of his son-in-law, the Zhen family caravan is all over the world, and the news is also very well-informed. After the dinner, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi helped Liu's mother to rest, and Liu Yi invited Zhen Yi and Mrs. Zhen to the study for tea, which was the place to talk.

"The old man has read countless people in his life, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, he fully supported the Bohai Yuan family, until the Son of Heaven sealed the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, he knew that there was still such a character as Lang Sheng in the world, and then he also heard more about your achievements, breaking Wuhuan, defeating the Huns, destroying Goguryeo, merging the state, and capturing Li Guo! It is indeed worthy of the title of a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and it is not in vain that Mi'er has a deep love for you! After sitting down, Mrs. Zhen spoke first and praised Liu Yi greatly.

"Old man, you are too ridiculous, Lang Sheng is just a martial artist, the reason why he can fight and win is because of the left and right, the lives of the three armies plus a little luck." Liu Yi said humbly, he didn't know how many times he had heard these words in recent years, and he was almost numb.

"The old man is by no means deliberately praised, and regardless of the strength of the army, which of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty now has the people's livelihood comparable to that under Lang Sheng's rule? Said that you are a martial arts old man is the first not to believe, today Langsheng has been recuperating after taking Sizhou, if you want to forge ahead again, then Yanji two states must take one of them, these are all military affairs, an old decay is inconvenient to talk about, today is to trust Langsheng's vision, if the war resumes, how should my Zhen family deal with themselves? Old lady Zhen waved his hand and said again, and directly asked the purpose of the trip, and his words were very frank.

How should the Zhen family deal with themselves? As soon as Liu Yi heard it, he knew that this old man could be called a torch with eyes and insight into the world, and he could ask this question because he was optimistic about himself between Yuan Shao and himself, otherwise he would not have rushed to Youzhou to see him, although marriage can enhance the relationship between the two parties, but if it is not, compared with the interests of the family, no matter how much the old lady Zhen cherishes Zhen Mi, he will choose the side of the family, there is no doubt about this! Even he will never be constrained because of the Zhen family.

The question in front of him is not easy to answer, on weekdays, these princes still have more respect for big merchants, but if it really comes to life and death, who will care about their life and death? Most of the Zhen family's foundation clan is in Jizhou, and it can be said that life and death are also in Yuan Shao's thoughts, but in this way, he can still come to Youzhou at the risk of being suspicious of him, and his position is self-evident.

Liu Yi didn't answer for a long time when he heard this, and the two Zhen family were just drinking tea on the side, they believed that Liu Yi would definitely know the meaning of this question, and he really needed time to think about the benefits, and the study was silent for a while.

"How it was before, how it is now, there is no need to change anything." After thinking for a while, Liu Yi smiled at the old lady Zhen, he didn't think that a Zhen family could play a decisive role in the battle between him and Yuan Shao, and he didn't want them to make a risky move in order to support him, not only because they were Zhen Mi's family, but more importantly, he didn't think that this could bring him any benefits, but with today's question, once Liu Yi defeated Yuan Shao and won Jizhou, the power of the Zhen family could undoubtedly be further expanded. Thinking about it, this old lady Zhen should have seen the changes a long time ago, and most of his answers were also his expectations, which of these old men in big businesses has not experienced countless ups and downs and become refined over time.

"In this way, the old man will do what Lang Sheng said, oh, if Lang Sheng doesn't mind, the business affairs of the Zhen family in Sizhou will still be decided by Mi Er, of course, she will never need to run!" Old lady Zhen said quietly when she heard this, but she looked at Liu Yi's eyes and felt a little confidant.

"The old man's demeanor is admirable." Liu Yi personally refilled the tea for him, and Lang Sheng said, what Mi'er decides, that is, to hand over the income of all the Zhen family's merchants in Sizhou to Liu Yi, although this is a time limit, but this kind of handwriting is definitely not very popular! also expressed the Zhen family's determination to tie themselves to Liu Yi's chariot, provided that he defeated Yuan Shao! These Liu Yi's hearts are bright, and he really admires this old man's determination and bearing, it seems that he has spent a lot of money, but if he gets Liu Yi's trust in the future, he will be able to earn it back tenfold and hundredfold, just like merging states.

"What kind of bearing, old, if you don't want to come to see Lang Sheng this time, I'm afraid I won't go far again." Old lady Zhen said lightly.

After a while, Liu Yi called Zhen Mi to let her talk about the joy of family with her father and grandfather, and arranged the Zhen family father and son directly to rest in their own guest room.

"Far-reaching, extraordinary, Mi'er can rest assured that he is following him, the old man dares to assert that within three years, Jizhou will be in the hands of Liu Yi, and then you will be reunited as a family." Zhen Yi looked at his daughter's back for a long time before closing the door, but at this time, the old lady Zhen said leisurely.
