Chapter 251: East China Sea Mi Clan (I)
On the second day after the establishment of Suruga Castle and Dukang Castle, outside Fengxiang City, a magnificent carriage came slowly, the horses pulling the carriage and the decoration of the body, as well as the bright clothes and armor of more than a dozen guards, all of which showed the identity and status of the owner of the carriage, even if it was not the home of the official eunuch, it was also a wealthy businessman on the rich side.
After upgrading to a city, although the stone city wall of Fengxiang was still far away, at least the location near the city gate had a rough appearance of "stupid birds flying first". The soldiers of the Yamagi battalion had already begun to stand guard at the gate of the original wooden wall, adding some of the city's atmosphere.
When the carriage reached the city gate, it stopped first, and one of the guards turned over and dismounted, hurried a few steps to the city gate, and said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "This brother, we are people from the Mi clan of the East China Sea, and we have come from afar to ask to see your city lord, please let me know." ”
The soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion, who were in charge of guarding the gate, had already seen that this group of people was not small, and after hearing the words and ordering their companions to continue to hold their posts, they flew towards the administrative center. Although the person who came to find the city lord, how could the dignified Fengxiang lord be able to see it if he wanted to? I had to pass the Chen Palace level first.
"Tokai Mi Clan...... Could it be ......" Chen Gong couldn't help but be surprised, and after asking the soldier who reported some details, the guess in his heart became more and more confirmed.
"You go back first and ask them to wait, and I'll go to the lord." Chen Gong hurried away after speaking.
"Gongtai thinks it's the Mi family from Qishan County, Donghai County, Xuzhou (also known as Qu County)?" After listening to Chen Gong's report, Ah Niu couldn't help but feel stunned.
"Exactly! Judging from the description of the situation described by the soldiers who reported it, it is impossible to think that it is wrong. Chen Gong nodded, unable to hide his excitement.
A certain city lord groaned slightly, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
The so-called "friends from afar, happy", although they have never met, but out of respect and attention to the distinguished guests, Ah Niu and Chen Gong both went to the city gate to greet them.
The appearance of Ah Niu immediately made the soldiers guarding the city gate salute in unison, and the visitors outside the city naturally understood that the city lord was coming. One of the guards jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the carriage, bowed respectfully and whispered a few times to the carriage, then lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a man bowed out of the carriage.
When the man stood up straight, he was a rich young man of medium stature. I saw that the man was wearing a crown on his head, dressed in a gorgeous costume, his height and body shape were similar to Ah Niu, although he was only in his twenties, he had a calm temperament, his face was graceful and elegant, but there was an awe-inspiring heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which made people feel good.
The young man looked around for a while, and when his eyes turned to Ah Niu and Chen Gong, he nodded slightly, and then walked over quickly and saluted the two of them: "Mizhu of the East China Sea, I have seen two gentlemen. ”
This rich son is Mi Zhu, who has been following Liu Bei in history!
Mi Zhu, the name Zizhong, the year of birth is unknown, a native of Qushan County, Donghai County. During the Three Kingdoms period, the officials of the Shu Han Dynasty were the highest-paid old courtiers of the Shu Han Dynasty along with Jian Yong and Sun Qian. After Tao Qian died of illness in 194 years in history, Mi Zhu welcomed Liu Bei, who was in Xiaopei at the time, into Xuzhou and assisted Liu Bei. In 196, Liu Bei was attacked by Lü Bu during the war with Yuan Shusheng, and Mi Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei, and sent 2,000 people and gold and silver to fund the army, so that Liu Bei was able to regain his strength. Later, Cao Cao wanted to express Mi Zhu as the Taishou of Yingjun, but Mi Zhu and Mi Fang did not accept it and decided to follow Liu Bei.
Mi Zhu is graceful and generous, dignified and elegant, and the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" has an evaluation of Mi Zhu as "graceful and graceful, courteous to the world". Mi Zhu is good at mounted archery, but military affairs are not his forte, and he has never tried to command an army in history.
The East China Sea where the Mi family is located refers to Donghai County, Xuzhou, and Donghai City, the former superior unit of Aniu's territory, is just the name of a city in Qiguo County, and this "East Sea" is not the other "East Sea".
Historically, Mi Zhu was first engaged in other driving under Tao Qian, and after Tao Qian's death, he welcomed Liu Bei to Xiaopei, and never left until his death. It's just that now that Mi Zhu is dressed up, he shouldn't have come out yet.
The Mi family of Donghai County is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, and the Mi family has an amazing family business for generations, with as many as 10,000 slaves and guests, and a huge amount of money and property. Even on a national scale, Xuzhou Mi's is a wealthy businessman.
Mi Zhu, who is standing in front of Ah Niu, is the eldest son of the current head of the family. Mi Zhu has a modest temperament and is steady, and is very valued among the younger generation of the Mi family, and it is said that he has been designated as the next head of the Mi family.
"I didn't expect it to be Mi Zizhong, when I saw it today, I really lived up to the name of grace and elegance! I am Fengxiang Zheng Aniu, but I didn't expect the famous East China Sea Mi clan to come here this time is the beloved son of the old man! Ah Niu smiled slightly, and the action of returning the gift in his hand did not slow down for a minute.
Seeing that Ah Niu knew his name, Mi Zhu was also very happy, even if he was a modest person like Mi Zhu, he would not completely give up his seven emotions and six desires, and his vanity was still somewhat there, and the atmosphere between the two was suddenly better.
To receive a distinguished guest like Mi Zhu, it is obviously a little inappropriate to go to Ah Niu's "low" city lord's office. Bring Mi Zhu to the pre-booked inn room, meet for the first time, and a cold noise is indispensable.
"I had to meet the city lord of Aniu today, and Mi Zhu was also very pleased. took the liberty of coming to disturb him, and hoped that the lord of Aniu City would not be surprised. Mi Zhu smiled.
"Why did Zizhong say this? The Mi clan of the East China Sea came to Fengxiang as a guest, and Ah Niu greeted him backwards, so where did he come from. What's more, I have heard that Zi Zhong's elegant name is really worthy of its reputation today, and Ah Niu is very pleased. ”
Mi Zhu smiled indifferently, "Ah Niu City Lord said that he laughed, the really famous romantic figure recently is none other than Ah Niu City Lord." Mi Zhu came this time, firstly, to get to know the legendary Lord Fengxiang, and secondly, to see if he could add some products to the family's business. Although Mi Zhu came out of a proud businessman's family, he was not good at pretentiousness by nature, and went straight to the point after a few polite words.
A Niu heard the spirit of the spirit, Mi's rich rival country, this initiative to visit for Fengxiang is an excellent opportunity, if you can carry out comprehensive cooperation with Mi in trade, Fengxiang's fast development momentum is almost a foregone conclusion!
Because of this, the goods worthy of Mi Zhu, the eldest son of the head of the Mi family, will obviously not be ordinary goods. Thinking of this, a certain city lord already had a plan in his heart: "The product Zizhong is talking about, is it not my Fengxiang's specialty Baihua wine?" ”
"Exactly. The Baihua wine produced by Fengxiang is famous far and wide, and it is currently only sold in Fengxiang, presumably because of the lack of sales channels. If the two parties can cooperate, there will be no harm to the sales of Baihua Liquor, I don't know what the city lord of Aniu thinks? ”
Mi Zhu didn't have the slightest doubt about his own mention of getting a cowken. This cooperation can make Feng Xiang's Baihua wine get a better sales channel, and directly trade with the Mi family, which is beneficial to Feng Xiang's exhibition, and it seems that the lord on the other side really has no reason to refuse.
But things in the world are often difficult to fulfill people's wishes, and Ah Niu's answer surprised Mi Zhu. Of course, the premise is that Mi Zhu wears glasses.
"Well, I see. It's a shame to say that the output of Baihua wine is really not very high, and the current output is even difficult to meet the sales of Fengxiang City Tavern, I am afraid that there is no way to use Mi's sales channel in a short time, alas! ”
A certain city lord looked regretful, and even sighed at the end, but the meaning of the rejection was clear. Mi Zhu couldn't help but feel a little stunned, but then smiled, as if the negotiations between the two had not broken down, but had achieved a very good result.
Countless people racked their brains in order to get on the line with the Mi clan in the East China Sea, but Lord Fengxiang actually vetoed the trade cooperation with the Mi clan like this, and it seems that this behavior is a little "arrogant". Is it because Mi Zhu took the initiative to come to the door to guide zhì's value?
Ah Niu made this decision, in fact, he had his own considerations.
The superficial reason: the output of Baihua wine is indeed not high at present, even if there are chefs to join the ranks of production in the future, Fengxiang can also use the power of the state capital to sell the products to Qingzhou Mansion, why do you need Mi Shi to share the profits of Baihua wine? You must know that a certain city lord is now facing an economic crisis in Yanzhòng!
In fact, this reason is quite far-fetched, with the importance of the Mi family, it is necessary to try to maintain a cooperative relationship even if you sharpen your head. A certain city lord rejected Mi Zhu on the grounds that "the output is too low", but there are actually deeper considerations.
This time, Mi took the initiative to come to discuss cooperation matters, and this action itself is an affirmation of Fengxiang's strength. Although Fengxiang is the so-called "first city in the world", its influence is not at the same level as a deep-rooted business giant like Mi's.
A certain city lord was keenly aware that Mi Zhu's coming to negotiate trade cooperation with Fengxiang this time was simply a cover, and Mi Zhu's reaction also indirectly confirmed Ah Niu's guess: Mi Clan's real interest was not Baihua Wine......
With a hint of realization in his heart, Ah Niu's mentality couldn't help but be more relaxed. Since Mi Zhu came to Fengxiang under the banner of cooperation, it seems a little unreasonable if he doesn't make one or two deals, but fortunately, a certain city lord has already prepared a substitute while voting against Baihua Liquor.
"Although Baihuajiu can't cooperate for the time being, Ah Niu is looking forward to cooperating with Mi's family, and maybe there are some things that Gongzi will be interested in." A certain city lord laughed.
"Oh? The city lord of Ah Niu might as well say it clearly. Mi Zhu couldn't help but be curious, he only knew that Fengxiang had a specialty of Baihua wine before, and he didn't seem to have heard of a new specialty recently. (To be continued)
