Chapter 20 Separate rules and two benefits
Gao Ye was reluctant to say it explicitly, so Li Zhu naturally wouldn't ask more. The person who can sit in his position is by no means a fool, he knows what he should know, and don't be curious if he shouldn't know, this is the way to save his life. After continuing to report his Jingzhou experience, especially his experience in Xinye, he left. Although Gao Ye did not say it explicitly, Li Zhu knew in his heart that if the people who went to Xuzhou did not find Zhuge Liang, then finding Zhuge Liang would be the top priority of his future work.
However, for the current Gao Ye, Liu Bei of Xinye City is the top priority. Judging from Li Zhu's intelligence, Liu Bei of Xinye now has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he is practicing day and night, without stopping, and his intention is already obvious. Xinye, as the gateway to the north of Jingzhou, is far away from Wancheng, which is guarded by Zhang Xiu. In the past, as long as Zhang Xiu didn't go to trouble, Liu Biao could be regarded as burning high incense. Now that Liu Guanzhang is in charge, under the attack and retreat, the situation is not as good as before, and now Gao Ye is a little worried about Wancheng.
And historically, Liu Biao wanted to use Liu Bei and guard against Liu Bei, the small family in Jingzhou welcomed Liu Bei and the big family suppressed Liu Bei, which Gao Ye did not think would have any changes in this life. In such a situation, Liu Bei can still recruit troops and train the new army in Xinye with such fanfare, without Liu Biao's support, it is absolutely impossible. Even if it is because Liu Bei has just arrived in Jingzhou and Liu Biao is still in the honeymoon period, it is impossible for the big families such as the Cai family, the Huang family, and the Kuai family in Jingzhou to sit idly by. After all, the meaning of Liu Bei's existence, in addition to guarding against Cao Cao in the north, is to fight against these great families, so that Liu Biao can better rule Jingzhou. As a local family in Jingzhou, how can you stop there? Even if Liu Biao married Cai Mao's sister and became the son-in-law of the Cai family, once the interests of the family were involved, the Cai family would never compromise and make concessions.
But now, these three families don't seem to have any action against Liu Bei at all, and I don't know if these three families still want to take advantage of Liu Bei, or if Liu Biao promised the three of them any other benefits, which made them temporarily stop fighting. But no matter how you look at it, Liu Bei has become a huge threat in Xinye. Although Yuan Shao of Hebei was defeated, his muscles and bones still existed. If the war between Yuan and Cao resumes, Cao Cao's side is likely to suffer from the enemy. How to solve Liu Bei has become a big problem that cannot be ignored. However, no matter how big this problem is, it is not in a hurry at this time, and the year-end summary will be carried out in Sikong Mansion two days later.
Liu Bei's matter can be put aside first, but Mi Zhu's banquet Gao Ye can't ignore it. This historical Liu Bei's eldest brother is now prosperous under Cao Cao's hands, and all the business affairs in the four states are under his control, and his power is not small. It is the appearance of the original personable Xun Shijia son, but now he has long disappeared, he is wide and fat, and he has a big belly, Gao Ye thinks that this guy must have at least two hundred pounds now, don't you see that he can't even ride a horse now!
Mi Zhu was followed by Mi Fang, and unlike his brother, Mi Fang's figure looked a lot stronger. Also, after all, Mi Fang is a person who walks the world, compared with his brother who sits in the office all day, not only often sleeps in the open air, but also is ready to deal with the attacks of bandits and lake bandits at any time, and has to travel between various forces, and the suffering can be imagined. If he had been the same size as his brother, he might have died at some point. For those who can't even escape, it's better not to do such a dangerous thing.
The Mi family has been thriving under the control of these brothers over the years, and Mi Fang has already become the richest businessman in the world. One of the brothers made money for the imperial court, and the other made money for the Cao family, in the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Henan, there was no obstacle to the business house, and there were faint signs of the head of the merchants in the four states.
It's just that now the arrival of the Zhen family has really given the Mi family a sense of urgency. After all, under Cao Cao's rule, the market was originally monopolized by his Mi family, and now a Zhen family suddenly appeared to get a piece of the pie, how could the Mi family be happy? For the sake of the Zhen family's youngest daughter, Gao Ye even beat Yecheng like a tiger's den in Longtan, the Zhen family has Gao Ye's backer, who dares to use his power to suppress the Zhen family? What's more, working under Cao Cao all these years, the brothers knew in their hearts that Gao Ye's understanding of business was far beyond their own, and they were amazed by many business methods. In such a situation, if you annoy Gao Ye, I am afraid that the consequences will be at risk. At that time, it would be a blessing that people could give their family a way to live in Zhao Yun's face.
With such a mentality, Mi Zhu could only come to Gao Ye for cooperation. After all, the matter has come to this point, and the Zhen family's ascension is inevitable, so it is the best policy to seek cooperation and make this friend as soon as possible. Since the monopoly can no longer be guaranteed, it is only by seeking cooperation that the interests of the family will not be lost too much. Don't look at Zhen Yao now having a marquis, but in the final analysis, it's just a down-and-out family, and Mi Zhu doesn't bother to visit this kind of thing. After all, without Gao Ye behind him, the Zhen family is nothing at all!
But things have to be done after all, and it is inconvenient for the Zhen family to go to the door, but it is not a problem to come to ask for a high night. As long as Gao Ye said a word, how dare the Zhen family not listen? What's more, Mi Fang and Gao Ye have been friends for many years, and with Zhao Yun's relationship, cooperation can be said to be a matter of course, which Mi Zhu has almost never worried.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mi Zhu opened his mouth to explain his intentions. I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't know that Gao Ye, who was sitting on the top, heard the words, but said with a faint smile: "What Zizhong said is very inappropriate." Seeing that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang looked confused, Gao Ye drank the wine in the cup and said: "The same palace is a minister, and they are all doing things for the lord, so how can they say that they are united?" What's more, the world is so big, and the business affairs are complicated, how can it all be in the hands of one family. The lord can't do it, Zizhong, what do you say? Saying that, Gao Ye smiled at Mi Zhu, and arched his hand and said: "The New Year is approaching, and the affairs are busy, so I will leave first, don't blame Zizhong." ”
Gao Ye said that, he got up immediately, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang naturally didn't dare to stay longer when they heard this, and they also gave them away. Gao Ye walked to the door of the private room, but suddenly turned around, looked at Mi Zhu with a smile and said: "I heard that Mi Wei's kid is in the Qinglou, and he has been entangled for 30,000 yuan in one night. Without waiting for Mi Zhu to reply, he left immediately, leaving only the brothers who looked at each other in the house.
It wasn't until Gao Ye walked for a while that Mi Fang asked with a puzzled expression: "Big brother, what do you mean by explaining Xi?" This is obviously a good thing for both sides, why doesn't he agree? The Zhen family now has the support of Mingxi, and I am afraid that this business will be more difficult to do in the future. ”
Mi Zhu heard Mi Fang's words, but he shook his head, took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "Alas, Situ still sees far, today's move is something you and I owe to consider." After saying that, he smiled and said: "It's no wonder that other people's young people became famous, and now they are the third princes, and you and I can only be under the wings of others." ”
Mi Zhu didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Mi Fang was even more confused, and hurriedly asked, "Hey, big brother!" Don't play dumb riddles with me, okay? ”
Mi Zhu looked at his younger brother and sighed again, quite hating that iron is not steel. But after all, he is his younger brother, even if he is dissatisfied, he still has to be educated. Therefore, Mi Zhu looked at Mi Fang and said slowly: "What Situ Fang just said, there is one sentence that is the most important, didn't you hear Situ Yan's 'How can business affairs be in the hands of a family'?" The Zhen family is the one who wants to compete with my Mi family in business. ”
"I still don't understand." Mi Fang scratched her head irritably.
"You, I tell you to read more on weekdays, where have you read! You don't want to think about it, my Mi family is now rich in the world, if it dominates business, how can Sikong not worry? The entry of the Zhen family is not only supported by Situ, but also pushed by Sikong in the back! After all, the fight between the two families is something that is commonplace. If our family and the Zhen family join forces, it won't be long before there will be a storm! By that time, it will be too late to regret it! ”
Mi Fang couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, and said: "No, Sikong Ke also mixed a share in our family's business, we earn a lot, Sikong should be happy, how can it be ......?"
"You are a businessman, but Sikong is not a businessman! Maybe the world will be ...... in the future Ahem, so do you think Sikong cares how much you help him earn? Jiangshan Sheji is the top priority! Situ just understood this, and his actions became more and more restrained, have you ever heard such a subtle reminder from him in the past? You heard what Situ said when he went out, saying that Wei'er was haunted by 30,000 yuan in one night. Wei'er is only thirteen years old, where has she ever been to a green building! Thirty thousand! Twenty years ago, you could have bought a prefectural order! This is clearly telling me that too much money is also a curse...... Situ told me to take care of the Gu family more, it's time to take care of this unscrupulous son. ”2855
Mi Fang saw Mi Zhu patting her big belly uncontrollably, and heard Mi Zhu's words, she finally sighed, drank the wine in the cup and said: "Alas, if you want to make money with peace of mind, why is it so difficult!" ”
Before Mi Fang's words fell, Mi Zhu immediately glared angrily, which startled Mi Fang and looked dazed. I only heard Mi Zhu's voice a little stern: "Be cautious in your words and deeds!" Mi Fang suddenly became excited, and hurriedly covered her mouth, only to hear Mi Zhu sigh again and say: "Okay, there is no one else here except you and my brother, but you must know that the wall has ears." With Situ's ability, now they are walking on thin ice, don't you know how to restrain yourself! ”
Seeing that Mi Fang was busy nodding, Mi Zhu nodded and said, "You must be more steady when you act in the future." Cooperation is two benefits, hehe, now it seems that cooperation is two harms! The Zhen family has entered the scene, and they must not be taken lightly. Situ, haha, he really deserves to be Situ! ”
