Chapter Ninety-Three: The Strength of the Mi Family (Part II)
Mi Zhu's sudden change of color made Sima Mao and the others who were waiting outside the door of the middle hall stand up suddenly, and just waiting for Qin Xu's look, they could capture the two brothers who were disrespectful.
What does Zizhong mean by this? Could it be that he wanted to capture Qin and ask Tao Qian for credit? That's a great idea. Qin Xu was not surprised by Mi Zhu's sudden change of face at all, as if he didn't care about Mi Zhu's question, and asked calmly with a smile on his face.
They are all foxes on the same mountain, what are they talking to each other! This kind of little trick is what our Qin master is tired of, it is nothing more than a bluff, how can he be moved by it?
In these years, it is generally the front hall to meet guests, and the back house is the residence of the female dependents of the family. Unless you have a very close friend or family gathering, you will be allowed to meet in the middle hall. And Qin Xu and Mi Zhu did not know each other before, they were not related to each other, the first time they met, there were even some unpleasant things mixed with it just now, Mi Zhu did this, and his meaning was naturally clear. After learning Qin Xu's identity, he made such a gesture, and the fool could see that there must be something in it.
"Lu Qingzhou is famous! Mi is just a businessman, and he really doesn't dare to take credit for Qin's master book. But Zunjia has just offended the two sons of Tao Gong, and according to Mi, it is better to stay away from Xiapi quickly! Seeing that Qin Xu was not confused by what he had just said, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
"That's true! What Zizhong said is extremely true! If Tao Qian learned that the pottery merchant was injured by us, he would definitely hope that Qin and the others would leave Xiapi as soon as possible. Qin Xu still said with a smile on his face, as if he was talking about someone else, and agreed with Mi Zhu's words.
"Yes! Gong Tao will definitely hope that Lord Qin will leave Xiapi City as soon as possible! After listening to Qin Xu's words, Mi Zhu seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and after a while, it was like a punctured ball, and his momentum fell sharply, and a trace of loneliness flashed on his face.
"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Mi Fang, who was kneeling beside Mi Zhu, became more and more confused the more she looked at it, and she didn't know what kind of dumb riddle Qin Xu and Mi Zhu were playing. Mi Zhu, who was still with a bamboo in his chest just now, didn't know that he was stabbed to the sore spot by Qin Xu's words, and the whole person looked a little sluggish, and couldn't help asking.
"A drink and a peck, all are a fixed number!" Mi Zhu glanced at Mi Fang, who was dazed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Although it was Master Qin's servant who injured the eldest son, the cause was the little sister. Lu Qingzhou has tens of thousands of elite horses, the force is unparalleled in the world, and there is Qin Master Book with soldiers like a god, Tao Gong must not dare to brush the tiger's beard, just wait for Qin Master Book to leave Xiapi, I am afraid that I will take my Mi family to open the knife. ”
"Tao Qian shouldn't do this, right?" Mi Fang was anxious for a while, and he couldn't even care about avoiding it, and asked urgently: "When Tao Qian first came here, if it weren't for the strong financial support of my Mi family, would he be able to sit firmly in the position of Xuzhou pastor?" ”
"This time and that time! Tao Qian has become a climate, and my Mi family can only rely on his snort now. Moreover, Tao Qiannian knew the Mandate of Heaven, and his successor must be a potter. The potter is cruel and moody, my Mi family has already hated him, I am afraid that if he does not obey in the future, it will be a disaster of destruction! Mi Zhu sighed, turned his head and bowed to Qin Xu, and said with a wry smile: "Just now, Zhu was in a hurry, and I was offended, and I hope Master Qin will forgive me!" ”
"It's okay!" Qin Xu waved his hand generously, as if nothing had happened before, and said, "What Qin just said about buying grain, I don't know what Xian Kunzhong taught me?" ”
Master Qin laughed. Mi Zhu smiled bitterly: "Don't say that the Mi family can't get together so much food for a while now, even if there is, it is estimated that it will not be able to be transported to Linzi." How can Master Qin not know about this matter? ”
"Zizhong don't want to trick me! Your Mi family is a wealthy businessman in the entire Han Dynasty, this mere 100,000 stone grain, others say that I don't believe it, your Mi family says no, how can I believe it? Qin Xu didn't believe Mi Zhu's words at all, and he swore that there was food before, but at this time he said that there was no, it was just because of the predicament of the Mi family at this time, and he had some other meanings.
"I said, don't you ask how much the food costs?" Mi Fang didn't have the heart to play dumb riddles with Qin Xu like Mi Zhu, and spoke. Originally, he was skeptical that Qin Xu could defeat Cao Cao's 40,000 elites with 2,000 remnants, but at this time, he saw that Qin Xu was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but he pretended to be a junior, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart, and it was because of him that the Mi family and the Tao family fell into an unsolvable knot, how could there be half a good breath.
"Qin Xu is here, and he didn't bring a penny!" Qin Xu said for a long time, as if it was a matter of course.
"What? I want to buy food without money, you ......" Mi Fang's face is almost green, isn't this a joke? Don't say that you are gloating about causing such a big disaster to the Mi family, Kuahai said that you want to buy so much food, and you still look like you owe it and say that you have no money?
"Zifang! Master Qin must have the following, what are you anxious about? Mi Zhu is worthy of being a business elite, and his ability to be obedient and listen to sounds is no less than that of the business elites of later generations. Raising his eyes, he gestured to the impatient Mi Fang, and said lightly.
"Brother Zizhong really calmed down, I'm afraid he had already guessed Qin's intention in that wine shop, right?" Qin Xu complimented Mi Zhu, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "My lord Lu Qingzhou, a 20,000 elite people, although he only occupied Linzi in Qingzhou for the first time, he had already made the Yellow Turban lose his soul; Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan and others avoided his front; Beihai Kong Rong, Pingyuan Liu Bei and others trapped in the territory. This majestic momentum, no one dares to try its edge! ”
"General Lu is majestic in the world, and his majesty is unparalleled for a while!" Mi Zhu's eyes flashed, and he nodded slowly, agreeing with Qin Xu's words. Lu Bu's prestige, since the Tiger Prison Light War, spread all over the world, the saying of Lu Bu among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses has become a golden signboard.
"Since the Yellow Turban, there has been a national thief Dong Zhuo who has been in turmoil, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty have been exhausted, and the displaced people have risen everywhere. General Lu cares about the people in the world, reduces his daily consumption by seventy percent, and buys grain with private wealth to relieve the displaced people. Qin Xu didn't want to put on a high hat for Lu Bu, and seeing that the Mi brothers could listen attentively, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, General Lu is like this, and my subordinates are naturally unwilling to be left behind." I heard that the Mi family in Xuzhou, generations of righteous businessmen, Zhou Ji neighbors, and the wisdom is widely spread, so my lord sent Xu and others here to discuss the purchase of grain with Xian Kunzhong. Wanwang Mijia abandons the difference between states and counties, and focuses on the people of the Han Dynasty, in order to help the hope of the world! ”
"I only heard that General Lu was powerful in the world, but I didn't expect to love the people like this. Needless to say, the Mi family is willing to give 50,000 stone of military rations to General Lu Zhou Ji Qingzhou for free! Mi Zhu seemed to be moved by Qin Xu's words with praise, looked excited, stood with high-fives, and said in an excited tone.
"Don't do that!" Qin Xu also seemed to be suppressed by Mi Zhu's big hand, and he didn't know who said that he would "buy" 100,000 stone of grain without money, and he refused righteously at the moment: "The Mi family's goods are also obtained by the blood and sweat of Xian Kunzhong, how can my lord take it for nothing, absolutely not!" ”
"It must be so, Master Qin must not refuse! Although Mi is in Xuzhou, he looks up to General Lu's demeanor very much, and he really looks forward to seeing his face one day, which is enough to comfort his life. Mi Zhu got up and walked to Qin Xu's side, held Qin Xu's hand, and said "affectionately".
"Brother Zizhong, I thank you on behalf of the lord Lu Qingzhou, but it is absolutely impossible to take away these grains!" Qin Xu silently withdrew his hand from Mi Zhu's hand, looking excited, Qin Xu took out a roll of silk silk from his arms and handed it to Mi Zhu. said: "Before coming, the lord entrusted me to bring a gift to the Mi family, and after asking Xian Kunzhong to see it, we will discuss the purchase of grain." ”
"What is this? How to make sea salt? Mi Fang saw that Mi Zhu had been fascinated since she got this silk silk, and her eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment, and even her hands holding the silk were trembling slightly; Curious in his heart, he didn't care about etiquette, so he came to Mi Zhu's side and read the Tao in a low voice, and then he screamed.
The root of the Mi family is in Donghaiqu County, Xuzhou, near the sea, and there are not many fertile fields. Although the Mi family is a big business family, because of the backwardness of technology, they are helpless in the face of the huge treasure of the sea. And the silk that Qin Xu gave to Mi Zhu was like a key to unlock.
The method of making sea salt has been around since ancient times, and most of them are extremely fishy finished products obtained after steaming with seawater, and this is also because of the iron policy of the imperial court's salt and iron monopoly, and the detailed production method is listed as a secret that is not passed on. Not to mention the method of extracting salt from salt and removing fishy from salt fields that has been scientifically verified by later generations. This is simply like giving the Mi family a mountain of gold for nothing, and it is not impossible to double the Mi family's assets, how can it not surprise the Mi brothers.
"This ...... It's true? Mi Fang still had some questions and asked Qin Xudao.
"Do you really think of yourself as a sweetheart? Is it necessary for my father-in-law to lie to you? Qin Xu said indifferently: "With this method in hand, it is to hold a cornucopia in your hand." My father-in-law promised to wait for you to wait for 30%! ”
"Not a lot! Not a lot! Lu Qingzhou treats him so kindly, the Mi family is really grateful! Rao is Mizhu businessman's profit-seeking nature goes deep into the bone marrow, and he was also dizzy by this method of salt making, so he didn't care about bargaining, and said again and again.
However, Sancheng can be happy to be like this, which makes Qin Xu regret a little, whether he still wants to share fifty-five with the Mi family before, and he really thinks too highly of them.
"Lu Qingzhou still has something to say to bring Mi to engage!" Seeing that the foreplay was almost foreshadowed, Qin Xu changed his official title, and threw another bomb on the Mi brothers with a smile on his face: "Qingzhou is in ruins, don't be engaged in the position of Shang Cao and be undecided, it's really a headache!" ”
"Huh?!" When Brother Mi Zhu heard this, he was even more surprised than he had seen the method of making sea salt before. For a while, they looked at each other, and some were speechless.
Qingzhou government affairs Lu Bu basically left it alone, and Zang Hong hindered Lu Lingqi's relationship and obeyed Qin Xu's words, and the two positions that Qin Xu said were obviously the prices offered by Lu Bu to the brothers.
Although Mi Zhu's current position is also a different driver in Xuzhou, it exists in the form of Tao Qian's subordination, Tao Qian is the boss, and Mi Jia is just a sad investor. Now Tao Qian's general trend has been achieved, after all, the Mi family is a businessman, and it can be regarded as dispensable, if it weren't for this, the Tao Shang brothers would not take the Mi family so seriously.
But the method of sharing that Qin Xu threw out just now is to tightly tie his family and Lu Bu's chariot together, and the more he earns, the more Lu Bu will earn, similar to a win-win relationship. Although the position is the same, the status is not the same.
Look! Lu Wenhou has a lot of scenes! Generous! This made the Mi brothers, who had been a little troubled by the recent incident with the potter, suddenly feel a little heartbeat.
