(Sorry, sorry, you may not believe what is going on here.) On Friday night, I felt sleepy while the bottle was coded and coded, so I fell asleep in front of the computer. I slept at more than two o'clock in the middle of the night and coded it again, and there was a time of about two and a half times, and the power went out to the police, and there was no call until noon on Saturday. As of today, Sunday, the five and six days add up to six watches, and the bottles are all filled. Forgive me! ）

"How much iron did you sell, come back and report the number quickly, I want to be coquettish and wait for you to return home, how do you like it."

As soon as Lu Ren's words came out, Xun Yu and Liu Ye both looked at Lu Ren with very strange eyes. To be honest, Lu Ren's reputation in this area was not very good, and there were also rumors between him and Mi Zhen, but Xun Yu knew that it was just rumors. But now that Lu Ren said such a thing, it would inevitably make people a little misunderstood.

However, the matter is important at the moment, and it is inconvenient for Xun and Liu to say anything about Lu Ren, so they all set their eyes on Mi Zhen. And Mi Zhen is not such a person who doesn't know the importance of it, so she smiled very proudly at the moment, and raised three fingers to Lu Xun and Liu: "This number is all good iron." ”

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows: "Three thousand catties of iron?" ”

Turning his head to look at Xun Yu again, Xun Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad, three thousand catties of iron is enough to build two thousand armor soldiers." Although it is a little less, but since this matter has already started, it is enough to ask Miss Mi to work hard a few more times and buy more copper and iron when the spring road is passed. The implication is that although a lot of money and grain are used, as long as the copper and iron trade routes are opened.

The three men nodded in unison, but Mi Zhen looked at the three men with some dissatisfaction, and said bitterly: "I brought so much money, food, and goods, but I only bought back three thousand catties of iron?" You guys underestimate my chastity, right? Besides, I have been a merchant for many years, although my talent and reputation are far inferior to yours, but I never do business at a loss! ”

When the three men heard this, before they came back to their senses, Mi Zhen threw out a bombshell: "The iron I bought back is 30,000 catties!" ”

Lu Ren, Xun Yu, and Liu Ye almost vomited blood at the same time. 30,000 catties of iron, this figure was too scary at that time.

Mi Zhen continued: "In addition, so many irons were used to hide people's eyes and ears along the way, and I also brought back a lot of Hebei native products, more than 200 cars on the outside are native products, and the inside is iron. The little woman can say the ugly things in front now, the 30,000 catties of iron were bought by the money and grain of the Xudu Mansion, and the money and grain spent on the government along the way were also included in the loss of the mansion. But I bought the groceries with my own money...... Of course, it may also take up a little money and grain, but it's all small. In short, I can share the benefits of iron, but I must take all those local groceries and sell them, and the little money and grain occupied by the government warehouse should only be regarded as the remuneration for my trip to Hebei? The little girl's request is not too much at all. ”

The three men looked at each other dumbly for a long time, and Xun Yu hurriedly nodded vigorously and said: "No problem, no problem, Miss Mi's trip has relieved the urgent needs of the lord, and it is reasonable to receive some honorarium." Just ......"

Saying that, Xun Yumo calculated for a while, and asked with a little suspicion: "Although Miss Mi raised a lot of money and grain from the mansion that day, it was not enough to buy back 30,000 catties of iron, right?" The most in terms of Yu is 10,000 catties. ”

Mi Zhen said: "Oh, this matter is beyond my expectations. Originally, according to my calculations, I could buy back between 6,000 and 7,000 catties at most. Well, wait a minute, let me sort things out......"

It turned out that since Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Hebei, he inherited the consistent leniency of the Han law in the administrative law, coupled with Yuan Shao's "nepotism" and "exclusive collection of fame", so he was not very clear in the governance of officials. In history, Xun Yu pointed out in "Ten Wins and Ten Losses" that "the Han government lost its leniency, and Shao used leniency and forgiveness, and the public was fiercely corrected, and this rule was victorious." The result of the situation of unclear governance is that "those who are in power and power accumulate more", and even for Yuan Shang to defend Yecheng to the end, Cao Cao called the "loyal martyr" of the trial and trial of Zhengnan, after the destruction of Yecheng City, Cao Cao's family property confiscated into the official is "tens of thousands of property"......

Of course, these are still later in the original history, and now we only talk about the current point where Lu Ren is located, after the death of Zhen Mi's father on the pillar of the family, because the children of the next generation are relatively young and have no reputation at all, so there is no person who can become an official and stand up for Zhen's Liang. And under Yuan Shao's unclear rule, because the Zhen family has no official to stand up, it is conceivable what kind of suppression it will be by other wealthy families, not to mention that the Zhen family has a big iron mine in his hands that other wealthy families covet?

In short, at present, the Zhen family still has a little bit of old fame to support it first, and it is not convenient for other wealthy families to act excessively, but it is not difficult to secretly block the old private iron trade route of the Zhen family in the Jizhou area, coupled with the destruction of Luoyang, and the continuous wars in various places, the old business routes of the Zhen family to the Central Plains have basically been cut off, and there is a backlog of more than 50,000 catties of iron in the warehouse but there is no market, basically waiting for the officials to collect iron and collect taxes and then sit and eat empty. The Zhen family knows that if this situation is not changed as soon as possible, the reputation of the Zhen family will gradually decline after a long time, and it will be difficult to turn over by other families.

In this case, the sudden appearance of Mi Zhen, who has a "special mission", is simply a relief for Zhen. From a business point of view, if Mi Zhen can help Zhen sell the backlog of iron in the warehouse, then a large amount of money and grain can facilitate Zhen's asset turnover; On the obscure side, after Zhen learned that Cao Cao, who was actually "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the candidates", urgently needed a large amount of iron resources, then they sold iron to Cao Cao in time undoubtedly to marry Cao Cao, who had the advantage of political public opinion, so as to open a convenient door for Zhen's descendants to pursue their careers in the future.

Mi Zhen brought only 200 people, and the money, grain, and goods were relatively limited, and at most he could only buy less than 10,000 catties of iron. But this could not meet the immediate needs of the Zhen clan at all, so the Zhen clan immediately came to a big mobilization, gathered the outstanding children of the clan and set up another caravan, and returned to Xuchang with Mi Zhen's small caravan. In order to solve the backlog of iron goods in the warehouse as soon as possible, Zhen threw away 30,000 catties of iron. Mi Zhen's money and food are not enough to iron money? It doesn't matter, for the sake of "Mi Zhen's face", keep an account first, and let Zhen's big caravan arrive in Xuchang and then collect and transport it back!

Reselling so much iron, and not being able to alarm Yuan Shao's rule, naturally had to find a way to hide people's eyes. So Mi Zhen took some Hebei native products to resell by the way, and put the groceries on the outside of the truck, and put the iron inside, so that he could hide from others, of course, the money of the inspection officials on the road will not be less.

Zhen then came to an upgraded version, and sold Mi Zhen a lot of local groceries as a cover-up, more than 200 commercial vehicles transported 30,000 catties of iron, and only put 150 catties of iron on average, and then piled up some messy groceries outside. Normally, unless you remove all the groceries, it is difficult to detect that there is another mystery inside.

In the Hebei area, the old relationship network of the Zhen family is still there, and those wealthy families are mainly blocking the private iron of the Zhen family, and the normal business is not good to stop anything, after all, the other wealthy families do not dare to be too blatant to give others a mouthful, and the Zhen family spends a little money to make the caravan smoothly cross the Yellow River into Cao Cao's territory.

The rule of officials in Cao Cao's territory is relatively clear, and it is said that the iron hidden in this "official smuggling caravan" cannot be hidden from Cao Cao's more decent officials, and the real situation will be leaked out because of this, but at this time, the tax exemption order issued by Lu Ren to Mi Zhen played a great role! Since it was a duty-free caravan, there was no point in inspection, which made this large caravan unimpeded all the way in Cao Cao's territory.

Mi Zhen was very eloquent, and after saying these things triumphantly, Lu Xun and Liu were all dumbfounded. Mi Zhen looked at the three people who were all stupid and said with a smile: "Three, is these 30,000 catties of iron enough for a few months?" If you still need it, you will have to wait until the Yellow River thaws in the next spring before you can sell it again. In addition, more than 500 people came to Zhen's family, and in addition to collecting the final payment, Zhen also wanted to buy some other granges here in Xudu to facilitate future traders. On top of this matter, can Mr. Xun Gong and Mr. make it convenient? "To put it simply, Zhen just wants to build a branch in Xuchang.

Before Lu Ren could speak, Xun Yu hurriedly nodded: "It's easy to say!" In order to avoid suspicion of Yihao, I will arrange the affairs of this grange, and my Xun clan has a sharp decline in the number of people, and there are several granges that want to be sold. ”

This is a big truth, when Dong Zhuo sent people to Yingchuan to rob, a lot of Xun clan people died, and the Tianzhuang mansion was vacant a lot. In addition, although the purchase of iron this time was made by Mi Zhen, the Mi family has no foundation in Xudu, and the Zhen family must look for a new partner with strong strength. Xun's fully meets this condition, and then think about what Zhen's sells...... If you seize this opportunity to make friends with the Zhen family, won't the money be rolling in in the future?

Mi Zhen nodded and said, "Okay then!" The matter is almost the same here, that is, how to secretly resell these irons into the official warehouse still needs some effort. The three of them allowed the little woman to rest for a few days, and after three days, the little girl would bring the person in charge of the Zhen family to discuss with the three of them, and Duke Xun and Duke Liu could also make some preparations in these three days, how about this? ”

Xun Yu praised Mi Zhen's shrewdness and ability, and nodded in response to Mi Zhen's words. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Xun Yu asked Lu Ren and Mi Zhen to go back to the house to rest first, and he discussed with Liu Ye overnight how to do this matter.

Lu Ren and Mi Zhen left the mansion, Mi Zhen looked up at the sky, and suddenly grinned at Lu Ren and said, "Sir, when I return to the mansion, I will introduce two beauties to you." ”

Lu Ren smiled dryly: "What do you want to do?" Am I really a wild bee and a butterfly? Introduce two beautiful women to me? Don't tell me that you brought the Zhen family's Xiaomi to Xu Du this time. ”

Mi Zhen raised her eyebrows in a smile and stopped talking......
