Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 56

"Mr. Mi is so righteous! My lord shared the worries of the Han Emperor, even spending money and food to cultivate the land, and issued decrees to restore the livelihood of the people of Xiapi. It is really a blessing for my lord that Mr. Mi can help."

Mi Zhu smiled when he heard this, his current plan was to hug Ye Xiao's thigh.

As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow.

Before Cao Cao's troops came to the city, Mi Zhu didn't mean that he didn't want to come out to help Ye Xiao.

But he hesitated because he couldn't see the situation clearly.

The Mi family has been operating in Xuzhou for many years, and their vision is comparable to others.

Mi Zhu found that the disintegration of the Han Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, but now there are many princes and powerful families in various places, and the world is in chaos.

If the Mi family wants to continue to gain a firm foothold, they must find the Ming master to stand in line.

And Mi Zhu has already selected many targets, such as Cao Cao, Liu Biao and even Sun Ce in Yangzhou.

However, Mi Zhu discovered that behind Cao Cao stood the wealthy businessman Wei family, who was almost the same as his Mi family. Their joining him was just the icing on the cake and they would not be reused.

Businessmen are like this, they value the exchange of value at equal value, and Mi Zhu is willing to give up his family's wealth, but what he wants is his future.

So Mi Zhu went to Yangzhou in person, because Sun Ce, the son of Polu general Sun Jian, was in the limelight right now, and Mi Zhu wanted to know about it.

However, Mi Zhu was one step slower in the end. The Sun family had already received the support of the Lu family. Although the Lu family was not as powerful as the Mi family, it was no longer the first choice for the Mi family.

In the end, it was their counterparts in the north. The Zhen family chose Yuan Shao. At the moment, business is booming, and there is a faint tendency to become the number one merchant in the country.

Mi Zhu became anxious at this time, only the Mi family hadn't found a team yet, could it be that they couldn't find a wise master to rely on?
It happened at this time that Ye Xiao Hengkong was born, and he persuaded Cao Cao's tens of thousands of soldiers to retreat.

Then in a short period of time, he showed his ability no less than that of Cao Cao. First, he stabilized the situation in Xiapi and continued to introduce policies to restore people's livelihood.

In the end, it was the attachment of Zhuang Village and the establishment of the Weaving Department by Ye Xiao, which directly made Mi Zhu make up his mind to bet on Ye Xiao.

Because Mi Zhu saw that Ye Xiao was eclectic, and he was very satisfied with his attitude towards merchants.

After thinking this through, Mi Zhu didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, knowing that Ye Xiao usually didn't like to receive the local gentry in Xiapi, so he came to find Chen Gong first, and wanted to build a bridge through Chen Gong to express the Mi family's wishes.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I came today on behalf of the Mi family, just to leave a way out for the family in this troubled world."

"This time General Ye is helping the Han family in Xiapi. My Mi family can produce two thousand servants and five thousand hectares of fertile land. In addition, there will be [-] coins, [-] stones of grain, [-] catties of pig iron, and [-] strong soldiers."

Mi Zhu showed his sincerity directly, then pulled Mi Fang and bowed her hands.

"Master Military Advisor, this is all the money, food and manpower of the Mi family. If General Ye can be won, General Ye will be the only leader in my Mi family from now on!"

Chen Gong took a deep breath. The wealth of the Mi family was comparable to that of a prince, and it was much richer than other princes.

"Zizhong! Your Mi family is so benevolent and righteous, I think the lord will definitely agree to it. I, Chen Gongtai, also want you to promise that I will convince the lord."

Chen Gong earnestly made a promise that such a large piece of fat would definitely not be snatched away, secretly thinking about how to advise Ye Xiao to arrange Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

When they came to the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Gong took Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to meet Ye Xiao directly, and offered Mi Zhu a fortune worth tens of thousands, which immediately made Ye Xiao deeply moved.

If the capital of the Mi family is obtained by Liu Bei, it will be an angel round investment to make a fortune.

With so much money, if it falls to any prince, he can form an army with strong soldiers and powerful generals.

After thinking about it, Ye Xiao understood why the Mi family chose this way.

Now that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, the Mi family makes their living from merchants, so they may be regarded as one of the forces in Xiapi or Pengcheng.

But in the face of the princes with strong soldiers and horses, one party's merchants can only let mermaids eventually.

But the Mi family chose him, obviously with a bit of vision!
Ye Xiao secretly laughed in his heart, looking at Mi Zhu as if looking at the God of Wealth.

"Haha, I've heard of Mi Zizhong's name for a long time, and I saw him today, he is indeed a good-looking talent." Ye Xiao showed great enthusiasm, looked at Chen Gong and said.

"Gongtai, with Zizhong's help today, our army is like a tiger with wings added."

Chen Gong nodded, knowing that Ye Xiao had agreed to accept the Mi family's surrender, what he needed now was to help Mi Zhu break through the last layer of paper.

"My lord's words are very true. Zizhong is famous for his talents. He runs the Mi family by himself. The achievements he has made over the years are obvious to all. I suggest that my lord grant Zizhong the post of Taicang Order."

Ye Xiao was a little surprised at Chen Gong's suggestion, because Chen Gong had always been in charge of these matters, so it was equivalent to decentralizing power to Mi Zhu.

Seeing Ye Xiao's doubts, Chen Gong simply expressed his thoughts.

"My lord, these miscellaneous matters of money and food are really complicated, but they are extremely important to our army. Gong knows his ability is limited. After meeting Zizhong today, I think he is the most suitable."

"If I have Zi Zhong to help me, I can get away from myself and make better suggestions for the lord. Didn't the lord say that he needs someone to help his subordinates share their worries a while ago, and Zi Zhong is the best candidate."

When Mi Zhu heard the words, he was very grateful to Chen Gong, because the Taicang Order can be said to control the logistics, money, food and soldiers of the army, and the distribution of military salaries has to go through the hands of the Taicang Order, which is a real core official position.

At this moment, Mi Zhu saw that Chen Gong was helping so much, and he was not a dull person, so he directly bowed down and recognized the Lord.

"The lord is above! The military adviser is above!"

"I, Mi Zhu, have been greatly loved by my lord and military advisor today, and I will definitely repay the kindness of knowing you with all my heart."

Seeing that her elder brothers had knelt down and recognized the Lord, Mi Fang hurriedly knelt down along with her.

"Mi Fang met the lord!"

Ye Xiao naturally knew about Mi Zhu's abilities, but Mi Fang was a well-behaved ordinary person who could not take on a big job, and the mid-level generals were already at the limit of her abilities.

"it is good!"

"Today I got the Mi brothers, it's better than Wan Guan's money!"

Ye Xiao helped Mi Zhu and Mi Fang up, saying this meant that he had agreed to accept Mi Zhu into Ye Xiaojun's core.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were overjoyed when they sought benevolence and found it, and they were even more moved by Ye Xiao's evaluation, which was better than Wan Guan's family wealth.

Seeing the expressions of the Mi brothers, Ye Xiao knew that the sensationalism was in place, and the specific loyalty would depend on how he got along with him in the future.

"Gongtai, Zi Zhongxin is here, the Taicang Commander is in charge of a lot of affairs, and I need your time to help."

Chen Gong nodded in response: "Don't worry, my lord."

"Zizhong, you are the new Taicang Commander. Here I have something to say first. Our Ye Xiaojun can gain a foothold in Xiapi, first of all, we cannot do without the hearts of the people."

"In the future, if anyone dares to covet half a penny of ink or forcefully confiscate half of the people's food, I will definitely kill them!"

Mi Zhu's face was serious when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands and said, "My lord ordered Zizhong to remember it in my heart!"

"Okay." Ye Xiao looked at Mi Fang, "Zi Fang, you bring the five hundred elites of Mi's family and bring them under the command of General Zhang, the captain of the broken thief school, and serve as the captain of the infantry first."

Mi Fang was overjoyed, and knelt down to thank her again.
