(Thanks to Chubby's two monthly passes!) ）

Qu (qú) County, far away on the west side of the East China Sea, is where the Mi family, a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, is located, and the Mi family has been operating reclamation for generations, with assets of more than 100 million yuan, and is a veritable wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. At this time, it was close to January, and it was cold winter outside, but in the house of the Mi family, it was a different scene of warblers singing and dancing.

As the eldest son of the Mi family, Mi Zhu was trained by the current head of the family as a successor, whether it is the way of doing business, or the six arts of a gentleman, it is a compulsory course for Mi Zhu, and he even began to contact business when he was a child. After the crowning year, the current head of the family let go of his hand and vigorously supported Mi Zhu to do business, and Mi Zhu also lived up to expectations, his business mind and vision far exceeded ordinary people, and he became a peak king-level businessman early.

But even a good businessman, born in a wealthy merchant family, has more or less some thoughts of politics. Although their Mi family has a certain reputation and influence in Qu County, Donghai Kingdom, and Xuzhou, they are not very good at eating in the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the scholars do not look down on merchants. Don't look at the Mi family in Xuzhou, it is nothing in the eyes of the upper class, so the current head of the family wants to find a good way out for the family.

Probably at the beginning of last year, the generals of Flying Sky City and the Iron Sail City Navy wiped out the White Shark Pirate Regiment, and the powerful pirate group entrenched in the waters near Xuzhou was wiped out. For a whole year, the Tiefan City Navy was clearing out pirates, and the tough measures saved Xuzhou's long coastline from the sea. After the society stabilized, the merchants became active, especially for the merchants who made a profit by transshipment goods, which was good news.

Although the Mi family is not mainly engaged in the business of reselling goods, with the rise of sea transportation, the revenue growth in the resale business is very considerable. Therefore, the current head of the Mi family attaches great importance to the relationship with Feitian City, after all, the merchants and chambers of commerce that are now shipping in the waters of the Yellow and Bohai Seas and the East China Sea are inseparable from the protection of Feitian City. In addition, Lu Shuang was recently named Haidonghou and is a big celebrity at present, many chambers of commerce want to have a good relationship with Lu Shuang, and the Mi family, which has cooperated with Lu Shuang, is no exception.

Han Kang had only finished dealing with the ore trade in Tangyi County two days ago, and rushed to Qu County non-stop, which happened to have an island in the east of Qu County, which was rich in high-quality iron ore. Among these iron ores is a seven-grade iron ore called True Iron Ore, which is the iron ore needed to make gold-class ships.

This island is theoretically controlled by the county government of Qu County, but the Mi family has a lot of power here, and there are many connections, so it can be said that the officials who came in the air, without their nod, it is impossible to do things, and even the government decree cannot be issued by the county government. Therefore, Han Kang came to Qu County to find Mi Zhu, which can be regarded as finding the right person, and Mi Zhu also pays attention to maintaining the relationship with Feitian City, and the cooperation between the two sides is also harmonious.

With the experience of cooperation with Cai County of Tangyi County, you can directly learn from the template of the last cooperation, and the negotiation between Han Kang and Mi Zhu is progressing very smoothly. The Tianjian Chamber of Commerce sent 3,000 intermediate miners to participate in the mining of real iron ore, and the Mi Merchant Association funded the employment of these 3,000 intermediate miners. 80% of the real iron ore mined by these 3,000 intermediate miners was sold to the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, and the remaining 20% of the real iron ore was handled by the Mi Chamber of Commerce itself, but the price of the real iron ore sold to the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce needed to be reduced by 10%.

This is a win-win deal, Flying City itself has very few ore veins, but it has a lot of miners, which is a rare phenomenon of more people and fewer mines. Exporting some miners to other veins in the form of labor export can not only solve part of the employment problem, but also buy scarce high-quality iron ore, which is naturally acceptable to Lu Shuang. To put it simply, Lu Shuang originally needed to spend a sum of money to buy high-quality iron ore, but because there were mining jobs for labor exports, the seller also needed to pay miners' wages, which was equivalent to helping to support a group of miners.

And for the Mi Chamber of Commerce, it is just the opposite, they have fewer people and more mines, and there are so many mines that they can't dig them all. But the demand for high-quality iron ore is very high, and if it is left underground and not mined, it means that they will make a lot less money, which is not enough for businessmen, and rounding up is equivalent to a loss.

So when Han Kang proposed this way of cooperation, Mi Zhu immediately agreed. It's not that their Mi Chamber of Commerce doesn't have the money to hire intermediate miners, but there really aren't so many intermediate miners to hire, since Han Kang said that he was willing to send miners, it was the same as they hired other miners, the only difference was that this group of miners came from Flying Sky City. This deal is also conducive to promoting the relationship between the two parties, even if you lose a little Mi Zhu, you will do it, not to mention you can make a small profit.

Of course, Han Kang did not make a request to contract a mine or vein, but neither Cai County Ling nor Mi Zhu agreed to this, and it was better to do business or monopoly.

In addition to the sale of real iron ore, Han Kang also ordered tens of thousands of war horses on behalf of Feitian City at the Mi Chamber of Commerce, the reason was that it was actually used to suppress bandits, which made people wonder if so many cavalry were needed to suppress pirates?

Han Kang didn't elaborate on the reason, nor did he say whether the bandits suppressed by Haidong Hou Lu Shuang were pirates or other players. Mi Shi also didn't ask in detail, he knew that there were three cavalry legions in Feitian City, and the large-scale purchase of war horses would either be to establish a new cavalry legion or expand the three cavalry legions.

But Mi Zhu is also very shrewd, war horses are not just people who want to buy them, in case Lu Shuang forms a cavalry corps to rebel, and the court knows that it is provided by their Mi Chamber of Commerce, then I am afraid that the entire family will be uprooted. So Mi Zhu just said that the Mi Chamber of Commerce did not have war horses for sale, but he had a wide range of contacts and knew several horse merchants in the Youzhou area, so he could set up a line for Han Kang, and Mi Zhu's recommendation should have a much greater chance of success in the transaction.

Mi Zhu in history is still very good at investing, whether he was hired by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, or he chose the down-and-out Liu Bei, you can see his vision. In the game, the sudden rise of the forces of Feitian City made Mi Zhu have a different opinion on Inhuman, thinking that maybe it would be a good choice to bet on Lu Shuang.

Liangzhou, Jincheng County, Yunwu County.

Yunwu County, as the seat of Jincheng County, was originally guarded by Chen Yi, the Taishou guard, to resist the attack of the Xiliang rebels.

However, when the leader of the Xiliang rebels, Beigong Boyu, was blocked from attacking Zhiji County, and knew that he could not break through Ayang County in front, he turned to lead the army to attack Yunwu County, the seat of Jincheng County, and the rebels were huge, and finally Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, was defeated and killed.

In fact, as early as November, before the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was already a rebellion in Xiliang, but because it was only a rebellion in the Liangzhou area at that time, it was similar to the situation in Wudou Midao in Ba County, Yizhou, and the system judged it to be a regional plot task, so it did not attract much attention.

And now, the Xiliang rebels, under the leadership of Beigong Boyu, have taken the Liangzhou overseers to engage in Bian Yun and Liangzhou to engage in Han Yue, and broke through Yunwu County, leading the army to surround Ji County. Although the army was later withdrawn, Xiliang's rebellion had faintly burned the prairie and threatened the imperial court, especially the hundreds of thousands of heavily armed eighth-order Xiliang iron horses, like a torrent of steel, so that no one in front of the iron horses could not have the idea of resisting.

According to the historical process, in March of the second year of Zhongping (184), Han Sui Bian Zhang, who had changed his name, led Xiliang Tie to ride into Kou Sanfu, posing a huge threat to the imperial court. And the imperial court will also send Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and others to conquer the rebels, and a big war will break out at that time, and it may also become a national plot mission.

As for why not release a region-wide announcement now, some analysts speculate that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will not end until mid-to-late November, and if the players and player forces are pulled into another large-scale story mission without a period of rest, then the presence of players and player forces in it will be extremely low, and even many player forces will not participate, after all, too many materials are consumed in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which is not enough to support them to fight another war.
