It is said that Zhao Chen's letter was quickly whipped, and it was delivered to Shi A at night.

That night, the trainer couldn't sleep with excitement.

Wan Shi joked: "Houde has always been there, and he won't run away, so I'm in a hurry." ”

The foot trainer mischievously detoured behind his mother and said with a smile: "If you go south tomorrow morning, you will be able to see Houde in the evening, isn't your mother looking forward to it?" ”

Wan smiled and said nothing.

The foot trainer whispered in Wan's ear: "The little master can see my mother sitting alone on the windowsill for many days, looking at Houde's room in a daze!" ”

When Wan Shi heard this, her face flushed from her neck to her forehead.

"Little teacher, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm the same."

The trainer giggled.

Wan Shi gave her a blank look, and went to prepare her luggage, but her heart was rippled.

This matter is not on the table.

Zhao Chen subdued Huang Gai with an iron fist, and handed over about 2,000 people from Sun Ce's army to Huang Gai.

Huang Gai asked Zhao Chen in surprise: "I am a general, and the military division has handed over the soldiers of Jiangdong to Gai, so I am not afraid of my leading troops to rebel?" ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "General Huang is a hero, how can he deceive if he says one thing or the other." As the saying goes, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, under my lord's account, the most important point is that everyone trusts each other, and when they go to the battlefield, they have to leave their backs to their brothers. Besides, these 2,000 soldiers are all children of Jiangdong, and they are all heroes, and only generals can suppress them. ”

Huang Gai couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the lord, with the assistance of the military advisor, broke Yuan Shu three times, and broke Sun Bofu, such marching people, the soldiers must do their best, how can it be invincible." ”

Huang Gai knew that Sun Ce's army was most lacking in this one.

Subsequently, Zhao Chen followed Chen Deng's governance in Guangling and gave Liu Bei several suggestions for rebuilding Guangling County:

First, clear rewards and punishments, and heavy authority. The rule of officials in Guangling was quite lax, and many powerful people relied on various connections and did not take the law into account, so that ordinary people had no way to seek help, which was unfair. Therefore, rewards and punishments are clear, the law and discipline are strictly enforced, and fairness is returned to the people, and the people naturally support it.

Second, to appease the people and develop production. If one side has a strong economy and sufficient food, it means that the country is strong, and the purpose of caring for the people is also to develop production.

Third, recruit troops and accumulate strength. Chairman Mao Youyun: Power comes out of the barrel of a gun. With soldiers and horses, the troubled times can gain a foothold. There are many black households left by Yuan Shu in Guangling County, as well as some bandits, who have been confiscated and handed over to Guan Yu and others, and they can easily train a strong team.

Fourth, the canal connects the north and south. Shorten the travel schedule to the counties of Guangling County so that the material resources from the south can be continuously sent to the north in preparation for the recovery of Xuzhou in the north.

After a complete set, Guangling County must be called the largest county in Xuzhou, and even the first county in the Central Plains.

Everything was over, everyone had dinner together, and Liu Bei found a small courtyard on the edge of the county government office for Zhao Chen to settle down on as usual.

Zhao Chen was not polite, and naturally accepted it.

Back in the small courtyard, as soon as I got off the horse, a familiar figure came to me.

"Mi Zhu, I've seen the military advisor!"

The person who came was none other than the head of the Mi family, Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu was dressed plainly, and a piece of delicate jade hung from his waist, similar to the token that Liu Bei handed to Zhao Chen. At this time, Mi Zhu has passed the age of standing, the same age as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he looks much younger.

Just as Cao Cao's evaluation of Mi Zhu: Su is loyal, civil and military. Mi Zhu can stare at the second place all the way during the star-studded period of Liu Bei Group, and no one is jealous, which can show his level.

It's just that Mi Zhu's talent is not in politics, but in business.

Zhao Chen and Mi Zhu looked at each other and smiled, and both sides were like mirrors.

If you look for it at this time, you must have a consultation.

"Mr. Zizhong, what's the matter?"

Zhao Chen is also very generous, and now he is in the military division, and it is understandable to use words directly.

Mi Zhu was happy, which meant that Zhao Chen did not treat him as an outsider.

"I heard Mr. Xianhe say that the military adviser loves to drink tea, so Zhu brought some good tea and invited the military advisor to taste tea."

Mi Zhu did his homework in order to see Zhao Chen, and deliberately went to Jian Yong and Sun Qian to learn about Zhao Chen's habits.

That's what makes a businessman characteristic.

Zhao Chen didn't shirk it, and invited Mi Zhu into the courtyard.

The two walked together, although they were more than ten years apart, they were quite like good friends, talking and laughing.

The night of August 14 was very bright, and the cool autumn breeze on the Yangtze River swept away the troubles of the day, and it would be great if you could have two or three friends drinking wine, drinking some tea, and chatting.

The two chose a location in the middle of the courtyard.

The people took out the tea set they were carrying, and placed it neatly in front of Mi Zhu, and the fire on the side had already risen, and the reddish carbon was put into the small stove one by one.

"Mr. Zizhong has brought enough tools."

Zhao Chen said jokingly.

Mi Zhu smiled slightly: "The newly hospitalized military advisor naturally lacks some items, and Zhu has ordered someone to prepare them and place them in the house according to regular habits." As for the tea set, since you want to drink tea with the military advisor today, you naturally need to bring enough. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, Mi Zhu's public relations level should be one of the best in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since it takes so much effort, there must be something important.

The water in the teapot blistered, one after the other, bubbling from the bottom to the surface and bursting.

Sure enough, Mi Zhu opened his mouth and asked, "Strategist, there is something unknown about Zhu. ”

"What?"

"The military advisor and Zhu have never met, why can they conclude that Zhu must come back to find the lord when he is in Haixi County? Why did you conclude that when the lord entered Guangling City, the Mi family would definitely go to the appointment? ”

While speaking, Mi Zhu put a cup of tea in front of Zhao Chen.

The tea soup is warm and transparent, and the smell is mellow.

Typical black tea.

Zhao Chen picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Rich and fresh, with a sweet aftertaste.

Drinking tea is like making friends, the advance and retreat are moderate, and there is a distance between distance and distance, which is the best relationship. Obviously, Mi Zhu grasped it very appropriately.

"Mr. Zizhong already has a guess in his heart, why did he come to ask Chen?"

Mi Zhu was slightly startled, looked up at Zhao Chen, and put down the tea set in his hand.

He didn't expect Zhao Chen to ask him back.

"I do have some suspicions, but the doubts in my heart have not been solved."

From the time he decided to invest in Liu Bei, only he and his second brother Mi Fang knew about the entire Mi family, and even his sister Mi Luyun never knew everything, let alone others.

After all, it is a successful businessman who does not gamble all his eggs in one basket. The previous tentative investment in Liu Bei was just the beginning, but Zhao Chen saw through it at a glance.

Now that Liu Bei has entered Guangling, the Mi family naturally cannot lag behind.

But the only thing Mi Zhu couldn't understand was the young military advisor in front of him.

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Zizhong doesn't need to worry, what Mr. Zizhong is planning is to dominate the world for the lord, and what Mr. Zizhong is planning is to gallop in the shopping mall." ”

"The righteousness of the military division made Zhu ashamed. It's just that if Zhu is puzzled, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep in the future. ”

At this point, Zhao Chen also fully understood Mi Zhu's worries.

His own unintentional move made Mi Zhu confused.

Investment is a secret matter, Mi Zhu is worried about the East Window incident, or there are already Liu Bei people in the family.

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Acting is like tasting tea, watching its deeds, smelling its way, tasting its taste, and you can judge whether it is good or bad to eat tea from the subtleties. ”

"The saint sees the subtlety to know the sprout, and sees the end to know the end, so he sees the elephant and is terrified, and knows the lack of the world." ("Han Feizi Says Linshang")

"But the quiet of the world can see the subtleties and know them." (Song Suxun's "Theory of Distinguishing Adultery")

Zhao Chen pretended to be calm on his face, but he was really embarrassed in his heart, it is difficult to say that I know history, and you Mi Zhu will invest in Liu Bei.

said it, Mi Zhu didn't believe it.

"It's like Mr. Zizhong is one step ahead of others and has arranged Chen's daily life."

Zhao Chen finally added.

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was silent for a long time, and the tea-making action in his hand also stopped.

The kettle on the side kept blistering and gurgling.

The only sound in the yard was the wind blowing through the leaves.

What a sight!

Mi Zhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with such a talent, how could Liu Bei be invincible.

As long as there is not a third party in the family, everything else is easy to say.

What if you have been punished?

Hair grows!

Before coming, Mi Zhu asked his sister's opinion, after all, they are also famous wealthy businessmen in Xuzhou, and a reputation is very important to the family, not to mention that Lu Yun is his own sister, and he must not marry at will.

Seeing that Mi Zhu was silent, Zhao Chen said again: "Zizhong, rest assured, the Mi family has a promising future." ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, his eyes glowed with golden light, and he didn't go away for a long time.

The words of the military advisor made Zhu Daigo empowered. Coming here today, there is another matter. ”

"Mr. Zizhong, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I wonder if the military advisor is married?"

Zhao Chen laughed, he was a person who had never been in love, where did he get married.

"No, I didn't."

"Zhu Dougu, I have a sister, twenty-eight years old, who has admired the military teacher for a long time and married the military teacher. What does the military advisor think? ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, his brows trembled, and the teacup in his hand unconsciously paused.
