The Zhen family is a wealthy family in Jizhou, and although Liu Xie has now accepted Zhen Mi as a nobleman, he has not won over the Zhen family.

The big family will not bet easily until they see the benefits.

What's more, he, the Son of Heaven, is in name only, and is under Yuan Shao's control.

There is no capital, and there is no value worthy of Zhen's refuge.

It can even be said that instead of investing in Liu Xie, it is better to invest in Yuan Shaolai.

However, Guo Jia didn't think that he could help Liu Xie successfully win over Zhen Mi from the beginning, and designed to send Zhen Mi, who was originally married to Yuan Xi, into the harem, but to establish a bond with the Zhen family first;

When Yuan Shao's clamp is really freed in the future, the role of this bond can be brought into play.

"If I can win over the Zhen family in advance, it will also help my current situation, right?"

Liu Xie ordered someone to fetch cloth and charcoal, and at the same time thought in his heart.

Zhen Mi is the link between him and Zhen, and can play a key role.

After this period of contact, he found that this Luo Shen was smart and smart, perhaps because he was still young and was well protected by his family, and there was no city government at all.

Maybe she can be used as a breakthrough to win over Zhen.

But what kind of chips should be taken out to make Zhen invest willingly?

Prince?

Liu Xie glanced at Zhen Mi's stomach and was shocked in his heart.

A sentence flashed in my mind: V I'm 50, I will make you a general.

If Xu Zhen takes the position of the crown prince, Zhen will definitely be moved, and even do everything to maintain Liu Xie's imperial power and become his staunchest supporter.

Just when Liu Xie was pondering how to empty the gloves Zhen, charcoal and cloth were fetched.

Zhen Mi on the side started grinding the charcoal and spreading out the canvas, and then looked at Liu Xie with a pair of big sparkling eyes,

"Your Majesty, where do you want to start painting? What to draw? ”

These days, she is also thinking about sketching by herself, but she is never allowed to get started, which can make her worried.

Liu Xie gathered his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to start writing, I'll tell you about sketching first...... This is the basic skill of this painting technique. “

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhen Mi nodded obediently, sat up straight and listened carefully.

Later, Liu Xie told her about the basic principles of sketching, such as space, structure, light and shadow, and lines.

In order to make it easier for Zhen Mi to understand, his explanations are very popular.

And while explaining, practice on the canvas.

Although Zhen Mi has not been exposed to the theories of light and shadow and lines, he is better than being smart, coupled with Liu Xiejiao's simplicity and easy to understand, after half a day, he also learned the content of Liu Xiejiao.

"If you are greedy and chew more, this is the end of today, you go back to logistics and practice, and you will soon be able to get started." Liu Xiecai dropped the charcoal and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Teaching in the summer is really tiring.

"Your Majesty has worked hard."

Zhen Mi thanked her sweetly.

Unlike Liu Xie, instead of feeling tired, she was in good spirits, and her face was full of energy.

I can't wait for Liu Xie to say more.

The palace maid brought Qing Shui and was about to clean Liu Xie's hands, but was stopped by Zhen Mi.

"The concubine cleans your Majesty's hands."

Zhen Mi took Liu Xie's hand and put it into the basin and carefully cleaned the charcoal stains on his hands.

What Liu Xie was thinking about was how to make Zhen follow him with all his heart, and face Zhen Mi no longer as cold as before.

"I heard that you have been smart since you were a child, and you are known as a female doctor."

Zhen Mi was a little shy when she heard this: "Your Majesty has praised it, the concubine just loves to read, and the name of the female doctor is not true." ”

"How can you not take it seriously?" Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi's eyes, and the emotions that had been brewing for a long time gushed out: "You are the smartest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and you have a temperament that is different from all the women I have seen before...... You're special. ”

As he spoke, he gently scratched Zhen Mi's palm.

These old-fashioned words of later generations are simply explosive in the present.

Where has Zhen Mi heard such sweet words?

A heart suddenly trembled with teasing, and two red clouds soon flew on his cheeks.

She buried her head down, not daring to look at Liu Xie's affectionate eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Liu Xie knew that the way to flirt with a girl was to pull and pull, so he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but pretended to ask casually: "The Zhen family even has an industry of storing and selling ice, presumably your clan must be involved in a wide range of industries, right?" ”

Zhen Mi was still in joy and shyness at this time, and she didn't think much about it, and subconsciously said: "The concubine's ancestors are prominent and quite famous in Jizhou; In addition, the clan treats the people leniently, so it has a good reputation, and the industry involves salt and iron, tea, silk, porcelain, etc., and there is also trade with the outside of the Guan, and Zhen's business name is found in all states. ”

Liu Xie couldn't help but feel surprised after hearing this.

"Good guy, salt, iron, tea, silk, porcelain, in this era, this is a top money-making industry, and the Zhen family actually accounts for all of them, and they also trade with foreign customs? No wonder Yuan Shao wants to win over Zhen. It's a cash cow! ”

Liu Xie is well aware of the gold content of trade with foreign countries.

The so-called trade with foreign countries is to trade with those foreign races. Things from the Central Plains are extremely popular among the aliens, and they can easily be exchanged for a large amount of supplies.

For example, if you exchange an ordinary piece of silk with the tribal leaders of the nomadic people outside the Guan, you can exchange it for at least twenty sheep; These sheep are brought to the customs area, and the money from the sale can buy five or six horses of silk, which is the huge profit brought by trade!

"Wait...... This seems like an opportunity! ”

Liu Xie had a bold idea in his heart.

No matter what era it is, it is important to pay attention to the rarity of a thing, and the rarer it is, the higher the value, and he can take advantage of this, because he has the means to make things that are not available in this era!

For example - glass!

This thing can be used as a glass at all, and it's easy to make.

If glass can be made in this era, it will be a huge profit among profiteering.

"But even if I make glass, what can I do, and how can I sell it? And now that I'm in the middle, it's useless to have money. My money is equivalent to Yuan Shao's money. ”

Liu Xie's enthusiasm that he had just given birth to was immediately extinguished again.

Controlled by others!

He's just a puppet who doesn't even have freedom.

If he obtains a free body, he will directly hand over the glass technology to Zhen, and let Zhen help him accumulate wealth.

It's a pity that he is not a free body, and there is nothing worthy of Zhen's refuge.

"Is Your Majesty unwell?" Zhen Mi saw Liu Xie's expression for a while, excited for a while, and lonely for a while, and couldn't help but care.

"It's fine." Liu Xie shook his head.

Guo Jia devoted himself to increasing the contradiction between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang during this time, and the results were very gratifying.

Now even if the two meet in public, they don't give each other a good face.

I have to find a time to ask Guo Jia when I can make those strategists bite each other.

Yuan Shao's internal competition is very fierce, and on the surface it seems to be calm, but in fact, there has already been an undercurrent surging.

If you can let those strategists bite each other and drive the forces behind them to fight, then the contradictions within Yuan Shao will completely explode.

At that time, Liu Xie's opportunity to fish in troubled waters will come.

After helping Liu Xiejing, Zhen Mi retired.

She now can't wait to go back and practice her newfound sketching technique.

Looking at the back of Zhen Mi's departure, Liu Xie said secretly: "The plan of the empty glove Zhen family is very feasible, go back and discuss it carefully with Guo Jia." In case Zhen can't resist the temptation of the prince, he really gives me a stud, then it really takes off on the spot. ”

After leaving the side hall, Liu Xie met Zhang He, who was rushing towards him with excitement on his face, on the way back to his bedroom.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Your Majesty, great joy!" Zhang He's tone was excited, and his eyebrows fluttered and said: "The last general has just returned from outside the palace and learned of a great event. Wenhou Lu Bu broke Shouchun and captured the rebel Yuan Shu. Now he is bringing the jade seal of the country and carrying the traitor to Yecheng to dedicate himself to His Majesty! ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie was dumbfounded.

In history, Lu Bu did break Yuan Shu, but I didn't hear that he captured the jade seal of the country and captured Yuan Shu alive.
