Cao Xing obviously didn't adapt to this kind of enthusiastic and somewhat excessive way of meeting, broke free of my hands, and replied with a little choked up: "Brother Lang, I'm fine." I've been looking for you in the mountains these days, and recently I heard that there are heroes chasing tigers across the stream, I guess it may be Brother Lang, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Lang here today! ”

"Hehe, I can't imagine that Cao Xing has such a rich imagination! I can guess that I will also travel to the Han Dynasty. "This funny idea makes me laugh!

I couldn't help the little YY in my heart, patted Cao Xing's shoulder and said, "This hero who chases the tiger and crosses the stream is not me, but my second brother Dian Wei, who has just been worshipped!" ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he ran over and patted Cao Xing's shoulder, and praised with a smile: "You kid really wants to shoot arrows, you are worthy of being my eldest brother's brother, and you will also be my old Dian's brother in the future!" ”

After getting acquainted with the heroes of the Dragon and Tiger Cottage, everyone was convinced of me, a fierce man who could both subdue the dragon and the tiger, and I was also fluttering.

"Brother Lang, what about these yellow turban thieves?" Because Cheng Lian had an iron relationship with Cao, he was close to me, and gradually became acquainted, and he also called me Brother Lang. "If you want to kill them all, I'm afraid it's not enough for a day!"

When I heard this, I was shocked, how can these people be so virtuous? As if human life was not worth much more than a pig or a dog, I turned my head to look at Dian Wei.

Dian Wei took half a step back and shook his head: "Big brother, if you want me to cut people with a knife, I won't frown; Don't force me to come up with ideas, I'm most afraid of using my brain! ”

I was amused by Dian Wei and laughed.

The scene is really a bit big, thousands of lives are in the hands of hands, if it is not solved properly, it may be a river of blood again, as a modern person, I really can't bear to have this situation again. The Yellow Turban captives near me all held their breath, and countless supplicating eyes looked at me, and I was busy calming down, and when I looked up, I saw that there were no less than 3,000 people within a few hundred meters of this trail. It turned out that the incident happened suddenly, and these yellow scarves were suppressed by me and Dian Wei at once, and only half of the people who escaped.

Later generations of Mao Taizu's quotation said: "Power comes out of the barrel of a gun." Well, since I live in this troubled world where human life is worse than dogs, I must first have the power to protect myself, so let's build my first armed force from here!

I took a deep breath and jumped into the cart, Dian Wei stood at the front of the car with his halberd, and Cao Xing stretched his bow to protect the rear of the car. I looked down at the thousands of people on all sides of the path, from near to far, and everywhere I looked, the restless people were silent, and the verdict of their fate was at this moment, and life and death might be in my thoughts! The feeling of manipulating sentient beings made me tremble, my blood was boiling, and power was really like that poisonous poppy, which made countless people addicted and crazy about it! I am no exception, although I can find many reasons to justify myself, such as the need to have the strength to protect myself in troubled times, and so on...... But there was no doubt that the temptation was imminent, and my heart was ready to move, and my excited limbs were leaping to try.

Forced himself to suppress the surging mood and began a big flicker across the millennium.

I pointed to the crowd below and shouted, "I grieve for you! Become a yellow turban thief, all of them are unclothed, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and if you are a thief, you might as well find a piece of tofu and die! ”

After a pause, his eyes wandered through the crowd, and he asked, "Now that you have become a thief, what have you gained?" Answer me! ”

No one answered in the black crowd, and the thieves looked at each other, their numb eyes still empty and gray!

I looked at the crowd under the car, and shouted: "Since no one answers, then I will tell you - the biggest gain is to be treated as a street rat by the world, and suffer from everyone's shouting and beating; And then there is the anti-thief notoriety that jumps into the Yellow River and can't be washed away! ”

The ignorant crowd was agitated, and the bold ones got together, muttering in twos and threes; The timid searched the surroundings with a restless gaze, hoping to find comfort in the acquaintance with a confused look. I weighed that the time was almost up, and shouted, "Wait for the rabble, I can destroy it with my backhand!" Now, life and death, choose for yy! Choose death! I'll give you a pleasure, a headshot, and no pain, just like Deng Tong; Choose to survive! Follow me, wash away the thief's name on your body, go to make contributions, and promise that you will be able to seal your wife and son in the future and fight for a future. ”

As soon as the words ended, hundreds of desperate eyes shone brightly, and the quiet crowd was in an uproar. Many wall grasses shouted loudly: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, I am willing to follow the general to the death!" ”

Some took the lead, and the rest followed suit, and they all swore to follow me. Under my intimidation, slapping and rubbing, thousands of captives have at least ostensibly been loyal to me...

Mangjie Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles to the southwest and there is a mountain range, the terrain is treacherous, there is a cottage in this mountain range, called Black Tiger Village, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Two months ago, the leader of the cottage defected to the Yellow Turban Army, and was recently used as a temporary military camp by Deng Tong, which happened to be cheaper for me. I'm anxious to build an army of my own, and this cottage can barely hold a few thousand people.

"Brother Lang, there is a person in the stone cave in Houshan, I heard that he is a rich man, what do you think should be done?" Before my ass was hot, someone hurriedly reported that it was a young man from Longhu Cottage, named Li Wei, and I saw that this person was clever, so I took him with me.

"Bring him up, and let me see where the sacredness is?" I heard that he was a rich man, and I was happy, smiled at Li Wei, and commanded.

I am quite curious about what the image of the rich man in the late Eastern Han Dynasty would be. Isn't it a rich man with a fat brain and a burp that is also full of the smell of seafood? Or the image of a money-keeping shopkeeper with a friendly round face, smiling at people's eyes, and making waves to the surrounding film and television dramas?

The boundless imagination did not last long, and the rich man of the late Han Dynasty was brought in a hurry. The person who came could not touch the rich man who was covered with the smell of copper, although his clothes were slightly untidy, and his face showed a little bit of food, and he looked a little depressed; But when I got closer and took a closer look, I didn't lose a high-minded man. This person is about 1.7 meters, in his early thirties, with good facial features and dignified appearance, although he has been detained in the bandits' den for several days, he is still calm and calm, and he does not have the embarrassment of ordinary people in the thieves' den.

This person is not simple!

I smiled and said to the visitor: "Mr. has been wronged, the contemptible Shen Lang, the word Haichuan." What is your name, sir? Who is it? Why are you being held here? I hope to tell you. "Before questioning, my subordinates had already told him that the cottage had already been broken by our army, and you were saved.

The middle-aged man's calm and calm face bloomed with brilliance, he tidied up his robe, and thanked him: "In Xia Mihua, the word Meng, Donghai people." General Gao Yi, destroy the thieves and bandits in the palm of your hand, save China in danger, please accept my worship! After saying that, he bowed deeply to me.

I hurriedly raised my hands and said politely: "Sir, please hurry up, I am not a general, because I saw that the bandits were rampant, and in righteous indignation, I shot to destroy them, and rescued Mr. It was just a matter of convenience, and I deserved such a big gift!" ”

Mi Hua's respectful face showed a shocked face, and he thought secretly, there are four or five hundred bandits in the cottage, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they were broken by this person in an instant, this person is really extraordinary. The tentative asked: "The general is brave, I don't know the geometry of the part?" My Xuzhou Mi family also has a little bit of family resources, if the general has needs, Hua dare not support one or two! What he didn't know was that Deng Tong's thousands of men and horses were beaten to the ground by me and Dian Wei, and they were so frightened that they knelt down and asked to surrender. If he knew the truth, he wouldn't know what he would be surprised!

He's an interesting person, and he's a smart person, and I like to deal with this kind of person. I heard that he was from the Mi family in Xuzhou, and the Mi family was in Qu County, Donghai, which made me a big surprise. Rich people, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Forbes list can definitely be ranked in the top five. In history, Liu Da'er married Mi Zhu's sister Mi Zhen, and the marriage was staggering, with hundreds of millions of copper coins and thousands of slaves!

Who is Mi Zhu?

I had a stomach full of questions, my face was silent, but I pretended to shirk Mi Hua's gift again and again, and said with a smile: "What kind of reward for the effort, Mr. Mi is polite." "I am somewhat eyebrow about the atmosphere of this era, pay attention to the distinction between grievances and grievances, repay kindness with kindness, revenge with revenge, and rarely drag mud and water! Unlike the good deeds done in the later life, not only is there no return, but it is possible to be bitten upside down. At this moment, the more I learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds without asking for anything in return, maybe the benefits will be greater.

Mi Hua deserves to be the top businessman of this era, with generous conversation and extraordinary knowledge! When it comes to the livelihood of the Central Plains, interesting stories about the Western Regions, Lingnan, and the customs of Liaodong, they are all at your fingertips, and talking to this person is like a spring breeze. When talking about the current situation of the Mi family, Mi Hua's face began to slowly become solemn.

Mi Hua is the current head of the Mi family, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister below. second brother Mi Zhu, Zizhong, 22 years old; The third brother Mi Fang, the character Zifang, the age of eighteen; There is also a young sister named Mi Zhen, who is still babbling. Mijia has been a merchant for more than 100 years, and the business name is all over the Central Plains, especially under the vigorous management of Mihua father and son, Mi has become the top giant businessman in the Han Dynasty.

The beautiful Mi family actually hides a huge crisis. During the Guanghe period (178-184 AD), the emperor sold his officials, the eunuchs took power, the government was chaotic, the people were poor, the Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou was not stopped, and the suppression of the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou required no less than 10 billion yuan each time. As a well-known wealthy businessman in the world, the Mi family inevitably has to donate a few patriotic anti-separatist funds to the imperial court, but in recent years, rebellions have occurred frequently, and the government has opened its mouth more than a lion every time. If it is just these apportionments, it is not impossible to maintain it with the strong foundation of the Mi family. What disturbs Mi Hua the most is that the newcomer Shi Zhu is extremely greedy and has been coveting the Mi family's property. The Mi family is a pure commercial family, and there are few people in the clan who are officials and politicians.

After some thought, Mi Hua decided to go to the capital to buy an official. After he handed over everything in the family to his second brother, he set up with the eunuch Zhang Rang in Luoyang and bought the county guard of Donghai County in Xuzhou at 10 times the price. This kind of cheating thing is too ridiculous, find someone to theorize, and then send Zhang Donglai's long history of the blank letter of commission and seal, you can fill in whoever you want, it is considered compensation, you only need to report to the court in the future; After passing the word again, it is okay to change to Donghai, then you have to pay again. Mi Hua dared to be the head of this injustice again, so he had to hold back his stomach full of resentment and came to Qingzhou to take office, and he was kidnapped by the thieves again, and his entourage was killed, but fortunately he met me.

I couldn't help but sigh again and again, no wonder his two younger brothers and younger sisters are famous in history, but he is unknown in history, maybe he hung up in the hands of mountain bandits early!

After listening to his story, my heart suddenly moved, I was blind about how to blend into the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty, haha, no, someone sent me a pillow if I wanted to fall asleep!

Today, I will finalize this deal with this rich man at the end of the Han Dynasty, get this blank letter of approval, and get through the official addiction of the long history of the Han Dynasty, and then build Donglai, develop Donglai, and wait for the world to change.

Donglai is a land of chicken ribs for the heroes of this era, with barren farmland, disasters, frequent typhoons and tsunamis, and a narrow strategic maneuver space.

I, Shen Lang, are different, my ambition is very small, so small that as long as I have the ability to save my life in this troubled world, it is enough to earn more gold and silver, and live a leisurely life. Taking advantage of the fact that there are still a few years of stable life, we will build several large-scale salt drying farms that are ahead of the times on the seaside, establish an ocean-going fleet, an escort navy, and open up a maritime Silk Road. In the future, when the princes compete for hegemony, find a big man to attach to, and then the glory and wealth of this life will be settled; In case the signs are not right, it is also a retreat to find a place to be a rich man in a sea boat.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful! It turned out that Brother Meng was actually the parent official of Donglai County. I smiled and arched my hand at Mi Hua. I don't know where Brother Zimeng will go in the future? ”

"General Hugh wants to make fun of me, don't mention this county guard!" Mi Hua didn't start to put on a score because I called him "Brother Zimeng", he shook his head, and a look of shame immediately appeared on his face.

"Could it be that nearly 100 million dollars are cheap for those hateful eunuchs?" Seeing that he had given up on the duty of the county guard, I asked Mi Hua loudly, looking indignant for him.

"So what, the former general Dou Wuquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he couldn't fight this group of eunuchs, how capable can I be a small businessman?" Mi Hua's face was full of helplessness.

"If you don't go to be the county guard, aren't you afraid that the Mi family will be stabbed by that bastard?" I asked this tricky question, which made it difficult for Mi Hua to ride a tiger, and it was difficult to answer.

The conversation between the two paused suddenly, and I was not in a hurry to ask, Mi Hua frowned, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, I exhaled a breath of turbidity, stared at Mi Hua's eyes and said, "If you lose your horse, do you know if it's a blessing?" Brother Zimeng, if you get your wish to get the position of Taishou of the East China Sea, with the wealth of the East China Sea, how many people will be blushing? Officialdom is overturned, dangerous and unpredictable. ”

I began to induce the people in this game, in fact, with the IQ of Mi Hua, a business wizard, how could he not see the Tao clearly, just because the crisis of Mi Shi's own family messed up his square inch, and the strategy of buying officials was just a desperate attempt to feel at ease.

"Saion lost his horse, I don't know if it's a blessing..."Mi Hua muttered in his mouth, and after a few breaths, he nodded dejectedly and replied: "What the general said is extremely true, I should have thought of this earlier... Ay! His tone was full of a little unwillingness and deep helplessness.

Seeing that his emotions gradually recovered, I changed my head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zimeng, Donglai is different, the land here is barren, and there are yellow turban thieves and pirates taking turns to make trouble. This Tai Shou Mo said that he would buy it with money, even if he gave it away for nothing, no one would dare to take it over, who would be stupid enough to pay for it and feel uncomfortable? No matter how you look at it, Donglai seems to be terrible and useless. But in my opinion, being bad for nothing is actually its biggest advantage, Brother Mi, what do you say? ”

"Yes, it's a backcountry that no one cares about." Mi Hua is a smart person, how could he not understand what I mean! But my topic didn't bring much interest to him.

"Yes, we only have a chance where no one cares! Yes, banditry is rampant here, and people's livelihood is withering here, which is not a problem. If there are bandits, exterminate them; The people are in need, let's build a new and beautiful home! "I was full of spirit and scolded Fang Xuan, hoping to infect Mi Hua with this high emotion.

Mi Hua's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he stared at me deeply, thoughtfully.

"Brother Zimeng, we might as well make a deal - leave all the troubles of your Mi family to me, and I will settle them for you!" I smiled and made a suggestion to Mi Hua.

"So what can I do for you?" Because of the businessman's natural sensitivity, he knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch! So, Mi Hua asked cautiously.

"Take your official seal, you are the Taishou, I will be the long history, you and I will work together to build Donglai, wouldn't it be happy!" I laughed and said my terms.

"I heard that only the 12 counties of Donglai County are Huang County, Rong County, Qucheng County, and 4 counties of Ye County, and the remaining 8 counties are either attacked by the Yellow Turban thieves, or they are occupied by bandits, and the future is dangerous..."

"These 8 counties will be laid by my long history, and you just have to take office and be your county guard. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, for the sake of the Mi family's century-old foundation, can Brother Mi dare to gamble with me on his fate? ! I asked Mi Hua loudly.

"I have a doubt, if Haichuan can answer it, I will promise you!" Mi Hua changed his name to me, no longer honoring the title of general, obviously already moved; In addition, deep in his heart, there is still such a thought: This life was picked up by him anyway, and it is a big deal to return it to this person, and the two do not owe each other.

"No problem, as long as you are willing to be too guarded, ten hundred, I am not too much!" My answer was crisp and decisive.

"Why do you want to get Donglai?"

"Because I want to build a happy land, so that the old people can rely on, the young can be raised, everyone has clothes to wear, and every household has food!" I groaned, looked up at the sky, and groaned passionately: "There is no ancient, and there is no one after; Thinking of the world and the world, lonely and crying! ”

This poem is from Chen Ziang's "Song of Dengyouzhou" in the Tang Dynasty, the author hangs the past and hurts the present, and has a deep sigh for his own talent; I used this poem to express my deep sympathy for the deep suffering and misfortune of the common people in the late Han Dynasty, and I cried bitterly, and I wanted to do my best to build a paradise for them!

The compassionate and compassionate high profile immediately received miraculous results!

According to Confucianism, this is the legendary world of Datong. Mi Hua listened leisurely, and he hugged me heavily: "Okay, just for the grand ambition of Lord Changshi, for the cause of this 'no one before or after', I will accompany you crazy!" ”
