Chapter 228, the benefits of having more sisters
After the defeat of Zhang Hengliangxing, the remnants of the Xiliang tribes were greatly shaken, and then Zhang Liao continued to lead the army westward.
A month later, Xiliang was completely pacified!
Then Guo Jia began to rebuild Xiliang, because of the long-term state of separation, the already barren border land was even worse, and the entire Liangzhou grain production could not even be self-sufficient.
Later, Liu Bei appointed Mi Zhu and Zhen Yan to come to cooperate with the trade affairs, planning to exchange the animal skins, cattle and sheep of Xiliang for the grain of the Central Plains.
In Anding County, in Guo Jia's temporary mansion, Mi Zhu listened to Guo Jia's plan, and his face showed embarrassment: "Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, grain control is extremely strict, and it is not easy to buy a large amount of grain." ”
"The prime minister and the military division have been fighting for half a year in succession, and the grain in each warehouse has long been exhausted, and I am afraid that I will not be able to draw so much food."
Guo Jia looked at Zhen Yan, but the latter smiled and said: "There is still some grain in the Zhen family's treasury, and it must not be difficult to send tens of thousands of stone grains after piecing them together." ”
Mi Zhu was slightly angry in his heart, so he took advantage of the weakness.
In fact, the financial resources of the two families are almost the same, but Mi Zhu has followed Liu Bei for a long time, and he has managed the logistics for many years of war, which has led to little food left.
As Zhen Tuo joined Liu Bei's backyard, the sense of crisis in Mi Zhu's heart became stronger and stronger. He was a little worried that Zhen Tuo's pillow wind would not shake his position as the number one businessman under Liu Bei.
Zhen'er!
You're growing up!
How could Guo Jia not see that the two were fighting openly and secretly, but this was something that Liu Bei should be worried about.
And in his opinion, it may not be easy for Zhen Yan to fight for Mi Zhu. After all, Liu Bei was a human being, and Mi Zhu's loyalty and Mi Zhen's loyalty were all witnessed with his own eyes.
Zhen's existence is more like a check and balance on the Mi family, but it is only to prevent the Mi family from dominating the business. After all, Mi Zhu's loyalty does not mean that his descendants can also be absolutely loyal, and Liu Bei doesn't want to leave a mess for the heir.
Of course, as long as Liu Bei reigns for one day, the Mi family will always be the first merchant.
As for Mi Fang, just arrange him with an idle job.
Guo Jia looked at Zhen Yan and said with a smile: "If Ziyan can help Xiliang resume production, it should be a great achievement, and the prime minister will definitely reward him." ”
"Zizhong doesn't need to care, you have been supporting you all these years, and the prime minister will not forget your credit."
He can only play the role of He Mu, temporarily appease the two for Liu Bei, and avoid the two of them from affecting their business because of the fight, which will outweigh the losses.
But presumably these two people are smart people, and they will not do this kind of thing that hurts a thousand enemies and eight hundred themselves.
Zhen Yan suddenly said something shocking: "The little sister is only afraid that she will be disturbed in the Changxin Hou Mansion in the future, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not be strange." ”
???
Guo Jia was confused, when did he still have a relationship with the young lady of the Zhen family.
Mi Zhu was also shocked, and then angry and disdainful, this Zhen Yan relied on his sister a lot, and used it everywhere to win over the relationship.
It was not enough to seduce the prime minister first, but now he has come to seduce Changxin Hou Guo Jia, which is extremely shameless...... Dad, why didn't your old man have more children back then?
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Changxinhou doesn't know yet, the housemate has great respect for Changxinhou, and she can't wait to visit Chang'an as soon as she arrives in Chang'an." ”
"Your lady saw that the age difference between her sister and the two sons was not a few years old, so she left her in the house for a while."
This is not a lie, Zhen Mi has been living there since he followed his brother to the Changxin Marquis Mansion.
Guo Jia was stunned, about the same age as the two bastards in his family?
Could it be ......
"Excuse me, which sister is it?"
"Little sister, Mingmi."
Sure enough, it was her!
"Sister Ling likes the art of war?"
"No, she likes business, and she is very talented."
"But I'm not a businessman."
"But Master Hou is also a person who is proficient in business!"
Guo Jia was silent.
Then he said bluntly: "Ziyan might as well speak bluntly, but do you want to marry those bastard boys in my family?" Say, which one does Ling Mei fall into? ”
This is his guess, as far as he knows, Zhen Mi is now about eight years old. The doll is pro, it doesn't matter how old the woman is.
Zhen Yan blushed, looking like she had eaten Ollie, and she couldn't speak.
He wanted to say, "My sister wants to be my son's aunt, not his wife."
He still remembers the solemn words of his sister that day.
Guo Fengxiao disregards the worldly law and should be my husband. If I marry him, I will be able to continue running the family business, and he will definitely not interfere.
Zhen Yan simply gritted his teeth and told the whole truth.
Guo Jia also blushed after hearing this, no matter how romantic he is, it is impossible for him to think about a little girl who is not yet ten years old.
But...... It's Roselle.
And just a few days ago, in order to prevent the little Guo Zhi who was about to be born in the future from turning against his brother Guo Pi, Guo Jia felt that as a father, it was necessary for him to prevent this from happening.
Besides, this was sent by Zhen Mi herself, you can't blame him, right?
"Sister Ling is still young, and I will talk about it later."
"What Chang Xinhou said is very true, so I will talk about this matter in the future."
"Okay, ...... in the future"
Guo Jia suddenly felt that something was wrong.
……
"It's a good sister to seek glory Donnie Yen."
After discussing the grain, Mi Zhu and Zhen Yan left side by side. As soon as he walked out of the mansion, Mi Zhu couldn't help but sneer.
If others said that, Zhen Yan might be angry. But if it was Mi Zhu, he would feel happy, because it meant that his old rival was angry.
"Zizhong is envious?"
"What do I envy you for?"
"I envy my sister who has many flowers and moon looks, and you have only one!"
Zhen Yan laughed out loud after speaking, and his heart was extremely happy, as if he was happier to see Mi Zhu eating deflated than earning 100,000 gold.
Mi Zhu was indeed envious, but of course he wouldn't say it, and when he saw his old opponent's smug appearance, he couldn't help but face each other coldly: "Hmph, I'm ashamed of you!" ”
Zhen Yan smiled and said, "Zizhong, you have lost your gentlemanly style. You are also a businessman, and you should know the principle of bartering. What's more, my sister and the prime minister, Zilong, and Fengxiao are all concubines, how can you sell your sister to seek glory, you can't afford to lose? ”
He deliberately emphasized several of his brothers-in-law to provoke Mi Zhu. The more angry the other party is, the happier he becomes, and he has a bit of excitement after defeating his old opponent.
Mi Zhu couldn't listen to it anymore, and left angrily.
Who let him have only one sister!
……
After Mi Zhu and Zhen Yan left, Guo Jia received another person in the study, who was Ma Jun who was young.
When he wrote to Liu Bei to report the military situation and the plan against the Qiang people, he wrote a letter to Ma Junye and invited the other party to Xiliang.
"Do you have any advice?"
