Chapter 54: The Mi Family

Time gradually came to 187 AD, even if he did not have much talent for government affairs, relying on his own diligence and the help of many subordinates, Sheyang became more and more prosperous under Jiang Hong's hard work.

At the same time, Jiang Hong, who is the most corrupt official in the sun, will absolutely not allow anyone to steal money from his own pocket and shake his rule.

The effect is not bad, while Sheyang is becoming more and more prosperous, people gradually forget the turmoil in Sheyang half a year ago, and the tragedy of the Zhou family is almost forgotten by the people, only remembering that Jiang Hong is a good county magistrate who saved them from fire and water, and loves the people like a son, and is a good county commander who is honest and honest.

After Jiang Hong learned the people's evaluation of himself, he secretly said that his surface work was not bad, and his character evaluation was still positive, so he would pay more attention in the future, and then brush his reputation up.

In this stable year, due to the frequent bandits around Gaoyou and Ping'an, most businessmen chose to pass through Sheyang, making an indelible contribution to Sheyang's prosperity today.

As for the distilled liquor made by Jiang Hong, drunken fragrant liquor, under the bidding of many merchants, the Mi family in the East China Sea took the vast majority of the share, and the remaining share was divided by other merchants, Jiang Hong took the opportunity to establish a relationship network with the Mi family.

In terms of money, many of the businessmen who bid for the bidding were indispensable to Jiang Hong's arrangement, which specially raised the price, so that Jiang Hong made a lot of money, smiled from ear to ear, and grinned when he went to bed that night.

With the increase in the production of drunken incense, the scale of the workshop in Zhongduzeli is also getting larger and larger, and many commercial spies and commercial spies have infiltrated Sheyang, wanting to get the recipe of drunken incense brewing in their hands.

It's just that for each batch of distilled spirits that came out, Jiang Hong specially instructed Wang Gang and Xu Hao to take them to Gaoyou Lake, carry them to the big ship at night, and then transport them to Sheyang.

At the same time, the Mi family also increased the share of procurement, relying on the network established by the ancestors to do business for generations, and sold Jiang Hong's drunken incense to Qingzhou, Jizhou, and even the north of Bingzhou and Youzhou, the south also has the shadow of the Mi family, and the Central Plains, where the market is larger, is the key dumping ground of the Mi family.

It can be said that it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars, coupled with the unique taste of drunken incense, for a while, drunken incense has become the only designated drinking product for the upper class.

Jiang Hong never expected that with the help of the Mi family's business network, in just half a year, the drunken fragrant brew would become famous all over the country, looking at the Mi family purchased from him at a high price, he sold it at several times the price in a blink of an eye, and he made much more money than Jiang Hong, a manufacturer.

Jiang Hong's eyes were red, and he decided to find a time to go to Donghai Mi's house to discuss it in person, no matter what, it can't be sold at a fixed price anymore, it's too much of a loss, and it must be changed to a sharing model.

It is said that there have been remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and there are constantly people who choose to leave their hometowns and migrate southward.

But the displaced people who flow through Sheyang are far from satisfying Jiang Hong, so Jiang Hong asked Huang Yuan to organize special manpower to bring in all the displaced people who are not to be seen in other surrounding counties, the old, the young, and the old, anyway, Jiang Hong, who made a windfall by relying on drunken incense, said that he has enough money now.

Jiang Hong also frantically let the Mi family publicize in Xuzhou, Guangling Sheyang has a stupid county order with a lot of money, everyone go quickly, there is hot porridge, that stupid county order will also send soldiers to build a house for himself, divide the field, first come, first served, and if you don't go to that stupid shortage, you won't accept people.

Jiang Hong stared at the red stove, his hair was about to be stripped off, he was just going to the surrounding counties to pull the homeless people, Jiang Hong said that he would eat as much as he could.

What Jiang Hong didn't expect was that after such a friendly propaganda of the Mi family, the Mi family has the reputation of benevolent businessmen in Xuzhou, and everyone is convinced of this, and the displaced people from several surrounding counties and counties are gathering in the sun, and now Jiang Hong can't wait to slap himself twice, and he can't raise it.

Jiang Hong deeply felt that he was dying a big death, no matter how much he earned, he couldn't afford to spend money like running water, and now it was the middle of winter, and these homeless people would consume a lot of food and wood every day, and Jiang Hong also had to help build private houses, so as not to freeze too many people to death.

Fortunately, Guangling is still a rich place, and Kou Bai, who was sent out by Jiang Hong, also purchased a large amount of grain and came back, but it often didn't take long to bottom out, and after several round-trips, the grain price of the entire Guangling was raised a lot by Jiang Hong.

As a last resort, Kou Bai could only go to places such as Runan, Jiujiang, and Xiapi to purchase, but fortunately, the Mi family provided a large amount of low-cost grain, otherwise Jiang Hong didn't know how to hold on.

And the most sloppy thing is that a large number of homeless people come to Sheyang every day, begging Jiang Hong, who is stupid and has a lot of money, to take in his family.

What to do? There is no way, Jiang Hong can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, he has opened this head, and his reputation will stink halfway, and it is the kind of stink that will never recover.

This is by no means alarmist, Jiang Hong declared that he would no longer accept displaced people, but every day there will still be a large number of displaced people coming to Sheyang, no matter what they can't afford to raise, no matter what, many displaced people will die in Sheyang, Jiang Hong is sure that he will be sprayed bloody by the world's scholars.

According to Jiang Hong's reading novels in the past, the usual practice of those pig's feet is to work for relief, but now in the winter, in addition to letting these homeless people build their own houses, go to the mountains and fields to chop firewood, and then exchange for their own family's rations, Jiang Hong didn't know what else could be repaired for a while.

Every day, the grain in the granary is declining at a visible rate, Kou Bai has been running around in order to buy low-priced grain, Huang Yuan can't give himself any advice, he is busy from dawn to dark every day, and no one can give him an idea at all.

"Annoying!!!! Why do you have to die? Jiang Hong hugged his head and howled in pain.

"Money money money, I want money, I want a lot of money, lots and lots of money." Jiang Hong said with some confusion.

"No matter, Lao Tzu will go to the Mi family now to ask for money, if his own manufacturer collapses, his Mi family will not want to make money by drunken incense." Jiang Hong made up his mind to have a hooligan-style business kidnapping with the Mi family.

Jiang Hong said that he would go, took a few guards, followed the tributaries of Huaishui, took a boat all the way to the north, and came to the Mi family's hometown, Qu County in the East China Sea, which was Lianyungang in later generations.
