Zhu Qian raised her head, blushed, and snorted: "I'm sorry, the slave family forgot, the slave family's body is a little inconvenient, and I can't wait for the master tonight." ”

This time, it was Liu Xin's turn to let out an exclamation of "ah". Of course, Liu Xin can also ask Zhu Qian to help him solve his difficulties through other "channels", but today is the day of Liu Rui's marriage, and he always has to take care of Zhu Qian's mood, which seems a little out of place. Liu Xin scolded God for being unfair in her heart, and with a considerate look on her face, she said gently: "It's okay, it's good for us to talk like this." ”

Then, in exchange for Zhu Qian's praise: "Master, you are so good!" ”

Liu Xin hugged Zhu Qian and lay down all night, but the taste of meat in his mouth but not being able to eat it, only Liu Xin knew it in his heart. However, seeing Zhu Qian's sweet smile in her sleep, Liu Xin still felt a little satisfied.

Three days later, many officials who had come to attend Sun Ce's wedding banquet began to return to their respective stations one after another, and Mi Zhu and Yu Fan came to bid farewell to Liu Xin early in the morning.

Liu Xin had already slept back in the study, practicing Fang Tian's halberd painting in the middle of the night, and was wiping sweat there with his upper body bare, and his strong muscles were so staggering that he couldn't help but speak. You know, it's a cold winter now, and their lord is actually naked, and this body is really good.

Seeing Mi Zhu and Yu Chuan walking in, Liu Xin also took a robe and draped it on his body, and said, "The two gentlemen are ready to go back to Jiangnan?" Liu's meaning, I originally wanted to leave the two gentlemen in Xiangyang for the New Year, especially Zizhong, your family is all in Xiangyang, why don't you have a reunion year. ”

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the good intentions of the lord, Mi Mou's mind has been decided, the people in Jiangnan will not be stable for a day, Mi Mou will not go home for a day, and I hope that the lord will be fulfilled!" ”

Liu Xin was moved in her heart, patted Mi Zhu's shoulder and said, "Zizhong can have this heart, Liu is very relieved." The Mi family can become the richest man in Xuzhou in the hands of Zizhong, and I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on a few acres of thin land alone, right? ”

Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Xin meant by asking, he hesitated for a moment, leaned over and said: "Don't dare to hide from the master, the Mi family can get rich, and what they really rely on is to run various shops." ”

In this era, although businessmen ranked last in Shinong Industry and Commerce, people did not reject businessmen, especially when Liu Hong was in power, business developed to an extreme. It was during that period that the Mi family was able to rise.

Yu turned over and didn't know Mi Zhu, but when he worked together during the period of accepting refugees, he was already able to deeply feel Mi Zhu's noble character, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It is said that there is no business and no treachery, Zizhong is an honest man, I'm afraid business is not what you are good at, right?" ”

The implication is that the Mi family can get rich through business, and there should be other capable people.

Liu Xin knew that the Mi family was able to break through the world in the wealthy Xuzhou, relying on Mi Zhu's efforts, so he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Zhong Xiang's words are wrong. The ancients were wise, foolish, clever and clumsy, in Liu's view, Zizhong is a big businessman and sincere! Those who steal and cheat, at most take temporary profits, how can they last long? ”

Mi Zhu didn't expect that he could get such a high evaluation from Liu Xin, and hurriedly said: "The lord praised it falsely, and his subordinates are really ashamed." The subordinates were able to earn a family business in Xuzhou, all because of luck. After coming to Xiangyang, his subordinates also set up a few shops in the city, but the business was only tepid, which shows that the subordinates are far from doing business. ”

Liu Xin smiled: "Zizhong is humble, but this has nothing to do with luck. When the Mi family first came to Jingzhou, they had not yet made a name for themselves, and the people of Jingzhou did not know that Mr. was a person who was not deceived by Tong Suo, so he naturally could not compare to when he was in Xuzhou. However, Liu thought that as long as time passed, there would be improvements. ”

Hearing the word "Xuzhou", Mi Zhu's expression was a little gloomy, sighed, and said: "Alas, I don't know what the situation is there. ”

Suddenly, a guard walked in outside the door, arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, Lord Fu is out to see, saying that there is news from Xuzhou that needs to be reported to the lord." ”

Fu Zhu is Liu Xin's most trustworthy person, he doesn't need to make a special report when he enters the study, he must have learned that Mi Zhu and Yu Fu were here, so he specially asked the guards to come in and report it, obviously because there was some news that he didn't want them to know. Of course, there is nothing unsightly about the news itself in many times, but the source of the news needs to be kept extremely secret, and since it is a phantom secret spy, it will naturally not be seen in the dark.

Normally, Fu Zhu would choose to leave first, and wait for the other people Liu Xin to meet before reporting to Liu Xin. However, Fu Zhu specifically mentioned that it was news from Xuzhou, that is, this news was about Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei's current strength is very weak, Liu Xin knows that this person is very resilient, and he belongs to the unbeatable Xiaoqiang category, which is even more difficult to deal with than Cao Cao, so it must be highly valued. Therefore, Liu Xin emphasized that as long as there is an update on Liu Bei's situation, he must immediately report to him, so that he can quickly make judgments and decisions.

After listening to the report of the guards, Liu Xin was about to tell Mi Zhu and Yu to send them back to Jiangnan after a few more words, but saw Mi Zhu arch his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, since it is news from Xuzhou, I don't know if I can allow my subordinates to listen to one or two." ”

Liu Xin knew in his heart that Mi Zhu was a big family in Xuzhou, and when he heard the news from his hometown, how could he be willing to leave, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's all my own people, why not?" Someone, please Mr. Fu. ”

Hearing this sentence of "their own people", a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Mi Zhu and Yu Turn, they never thought that Liu Xin would trust them so much, and they couldn't help but be a little flattered.

At this time, Fu Zhu had already walked in, and when he saw Mi Zhu and Yu turning over to greet each other, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately arched his hand towards the two, and said with a sad face: "It turns out that Lord Mi is also here, but the news that Fu got has something to do with Lord Mi." ”

Mi Zhu was shocked, and just wanted to ask him what he had to do with him, but he heard Liu Xin already ask first: "Gonghe, what news did you bring us?" ”

Fu Zhu gave Liu Xin a salute and said, "Lord Qi, there is news in the army that the fields, houses, shops, and manors left by Lord Mi in Xuzhou have all been forcibly occupied by Liu Bei. ”

In fact, Liu Xin already knew about Liu Bei's occupation of the Mi family's assets, but he didn't tell Mi Zhu all the time. Anyway, it's useless to tell Mi Zhu now, and when you take Xuzhou in the future, you can take back the house deed and title deed in Mi Zhu's hand one by one. However, Fu Zhu was very witty, he thought that Liu Xin would let Mi Zhu and Yu Chuan leave first when he heard the report of the guards, but he didn't expect them to be still here, and he had already come up with a way to deal with it.

No matter why these two people are still here, the matter of the phantom spy must not be leaked, so as soon as he came, he pointed out that the source of the news was the army's meticulous work, and left the phantom spy completely behind. But just now he has already said that it is news about Xuzhou, so what he is saying now must also be related to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei has always been regarded as a potential enemy by Liu Xin, and Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou has always been good, and even Mi Zhu admires him more. So, Fu Zhu took the opportunity to tell Liu Bei about the occupation of the Mi family's property, which not only kept the secret of the phantom, but also allowed Mi Zhu to see Liu Bei's personality clearly.

Mi Zhu heard that his family property had been occupied by Liu Bei, and his expression was stunned, and he immediately said with relief: "When Mi left Xuzhou, he already expected that there would be today. Maybe this is just Tao Lingjun's deathbed, and it has nothing to do with Xuande Gong. I think that Xuande Gong is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he will never do anything to rob people's property. ”

Liu Xin said disdainfully: "Liu Bei is just a hypocrite. Zizhong can rest assured that one day, Liu will let those fields, houses, and shops return to Zhao. Gonghe, you came just in time, don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to discuss with you later. ”

Hearing this, Yu Fu quickly stood up and said, "Since the lord has other important matters, his subordinates will retire first." ”

Mi Zhu was still stunned there, carefully reflecting on Liu Xin's words, and said in disbelief: "Lord, my subordinates carefully think about what Xuande Gong did, it really doesn't seem to be a fake. ”

Liu Xin knew that Mi Zhu was an honest man, if he could see through Liu Bei's face, saying too much would only cause him to be disgusted, so he couldn't help waving his hand and said: "Some things are the benevolent and the wise are wise, maybe because Liu has a very different temperament from him, and it is not necessary to misunderstand him, let's not talk about him first." After the two gentlemen returned to Jiangnan, they must make good arrangements for the lives of those refugees. Next spring, Liu also plans to go to Jiangnan to have a look, and the two gentlemen will not disappoint Liu. ”

Mi Zhu and Yu Pan arched their hands together and said: "Please rest assured, this is a matter of subordination, and you must do your best." ”

Liu Xin nodded and said, "That's very good." When Jiangnan's affairs are generally settled, Zizhong will return to Xiangyang, Liu still has important things to do for you, and Jiangnan can hand it over to Zhongxiang. ”

Yu Tuo was originally just a county prince, because the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River are vast and sparsely populated, and they are not important, and it is understandable that Liu Xin asked him to be in charge of the affairs of the three counties when he just pacified the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, with the millions of people who have moved south from Xuzhou, coupled with the development plan set by Liu Xin for the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, I believe that in a year or two, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River will be able to achieve considerable development, and Liu Xin still handed over the three counties of the south of the Yangtze River to him to manage, which shows that he has great trust in him. Yu turned in gratitude, leaned over and said: "Yu has heard for a long time that the lord's official martial arts are unmatched. Yu had the courage to ask the lord to write a poem when he went to Jiangnan next year, so that the good name of Jiangnan could be spread to the world. ”

Liu Xin was stunned unconsciously, there is a way that real people do not show their faces, this Yu Fan seems to be also a good businessman, and he actually wants to pull himself to advertise for Jiangnan.
