"The master is back!" Mi Zhu returned home, and the butler hurried forward to help Mi Zhu take off his coat. The charcoal fire was already burning inside the room, which was very warm.

Seeing the butler approaching and Mi Zhu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!" The butler's face was already cold, which means he was waiting for Mi Zhu to come back outside.

"No, no, no, it's the right thing to do for the master!" Lao Guan said quickly, waved his hand.

"You are just having a meal!" Lao Guan asked. After the meeting, it was already a day. Ordinary people eat two meals a day. For these wealthy people, they eat three meals a day, so there is still lunch.

"No, I'll go to the study room first!" Mi Zhu originally wanted to have a meal directly, but I'd better forget it, because the news Mi Zhu got from Jian Yong today really excited Mi Zhu. As long as their Mi family gets this title, the Mi family will no longer be a lowly merchant family, but a gentry. Mi Zhu is a little excited because he doesn't want to eat anymore.

"Yes, the second master and the lady are not here!" Lao Guan's words made Mi Zhu's heart sink.

Mi Zhu's happy mood disappeared, his home had become deserted, and the two important people disappeared.

When Lao Guan saw the dim eyes of his master, he knew that he had said the wrong thing and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mi Fang, saying, "Master, forgive me, forgive me!"

"I'll keep you up, it's not your fault!" Mi Fang shook his head and said, in the battle of Yangzhou, Liu Bei's army attacked Yangzhou and wanted to merge Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Zhang Xiu in Wancheng destroyed the Lu Bu army in Yangzhou in one fell swoop. But he never thought that Liu Mang's army also attacked Yuzhou. His younger brother was the general defending the city at that time. When the Yingshang city was destroyed, his younger brother had no news. There was also no news about his younger brother who went to visit his older brother's sister.

Mi Zhu didn't know whether he had been killed by Liu Mang's army. At least he would have to have a body that could allow him to go to bury him. Mi Zhu had already laid all his abilities on the way to find his younger brother. How much he hoped that his younger brother and sister would be captured by Liu Mang. In this way, they were still alive.

"Come on, Lao Guan. Let's go for dinner!" Mi Zhu sighed deeply and stopped thinking about it. If you think too much, you will only feel sad.

"No, no! Master, aren't you just a funeral?!" Lao Guan was frightened, because Mi Zhu actually asked him to close the table. He was a housekeeper. Even the head of the servant in the house, he was just a housekeeper. He could not change the essence of the servant. How could a servant get on the table? This would make people laugh.

"What's the big deal? Do you want me to eat so many dishes by myself?" Mi Zhu said without mind. There were dozens of dishes on the table.

"No, no. This does not match the truth!" Lao Guan still shook his head and dozens of dishes. If the master couldn't eat it, they could take it over and heat it up before eating, but it would definitely not be possible to serve the table.

"Rite?" Mi Zhu sneered, "Who decided these rituals? They are those gentry!" Mi Zhu asked and answered, "And who is Mi Zhu? I am just a lowly businessman. Don't care about these etiquettes, come to the table!" Mi Zhu pulled Lao Guan to go to the table without saying a word.

"Master, I, I!" Lao Guan wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Mi Zhu's glare, he just sat on the edge of the table, reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, carefully set up the dishes, and the vegetables he chose were still the ones.

Mi Zhu didn't care about this. After one more person was on the table, he finally stopped being alone.

...

"It's time for Xinye's business to be a manager!" This is Liu Mang's words a few days ago in Jingzhou. With the help of Liu Qi, Xinye's supplies were sent to Yangzhou. Fatty Liang and Shouzi Wu were also actively persuaded the merchants from Jingzhou to go to Yangzhou to start business, but these are too messy, and sooner or later there will be chaos. It's time for a manager to be responsible for the business dealings between the entire Jingzhou and Yangzhou. Whether it's Xu Shu or Liu Ye and Jia Xu, they really don't know much about business.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are low-ranking, so there is really no business in the martial arts sold to the imperial family.

So in the past few days, a group of rare tourists came to Nanyang County. These rare tourists were divided into two groups and went to Wancheng, the county city of Nanyang County. Although the other group could also go to Wancheng, the two groups of people could obviously go to different mansions, one was bright and one was secret.

"What!" Liu Bei was about to rest, and a lot of news came here. Liu Mang, Yangzhou, actually sent an envoy. This made Liu Bei stunned on the spot.

Yangzhou is Yangzhou, and both sides are enemy troops. This is not the key! The key is that Liu Mang's three thousand light cavalry are still eyeing Nanyang County. Yangzhou actually photographed an envoy coming to Nanyang. Aren't you afraid that Liu Bei would kill his envoy?

"Why did Liu Mang send an envoy to persuade him to surrender?" Liu Bei said sarcastically. However, no matter how sarcastic hell, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Take Liu Mang's envoy up!"

"The chief envoy under the command of His Highness the King of Shu of the Han Dynasty, Yang Jie, had met General Zuo!" Liu Mang's envoy was not a person but a junior of Yang Hong. Yang Hong was responsible for Liu Mang's intelligence, and this mission was handed over to his subordinates. Yang Jie volunteered to step forward.

Yang Jie is worthy of being Yang Hong's nephew. The etiquette of this mission was not bad at all. Although Liu Bei was the mortal enemy of Yangzhou and had fought so many times on his death, Yang Jie still followed Liu Bei's official position and respectfully called him General Left.

As for the Uncle Liu, Yang Jie, it is impossible to say that if Liu Bei is Uncle Liu, then his lord, King Shu Liu Mang, would have become Liu Bei's nephew, and he is one generation younger than Liu Bei for no reason.

"No gift!" Liu Bei nodded, and Liu Mang's envoy Liu Bei would not nod too much, as he admitted Yang Jie's name to him.

"I don't know what you are sending you to my ruler." Yang Jie was just an envoy of Liu Mang. This kind of question naturally didn't require Liu Bei to come on stage in person, so naturally someone answered it. Jian Yong immediately came and asked Yang Jie.

"My Lord sent me to come. I wanted to return General Zuo's wife and brother-in-law!" Yang Jie stepped forward without saying a word and replied.

"Hmm?!" Liu Bei on the stage frowned on the spot. His wife and brother-in-law.

"It's Mrs. Mi and General Mi Fang!" Yang Jie explained.

"They are not dead?" Liu Bei said this directly without thinking.

Looking at Liu Bei's reaction on the stage, Yang Jie below smiled slightly in his heart. Before coming, his uncle Yang Hong told him about Liu Bei's reaction, and he was surprised at first.

"Although our lord captured General Left's Yingshang, he had never killed General Mi Fang, and General Mi Fang had never died in the battlefield. Mrs. Mi is now visiting Yangzhou with General Mi Fang!" Yang Jie stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"At a guest?" It's almost the same as captive.

"Tell me! What do you want!" Liu Bei was born in the market and was not as good as aristocrats in the market, but his intrigues were the same. Everyone was full of profit and early, and Liu Mang would be so kind to send back his wife and brother-in-law!

"General Zuo is just happy!" Yang Jie smiled and said, "Mrs. Mi and General Mi Fang are in my Yangzhou these days. Although my master is not here, the military advisor Xu Shu is fully entertaining General Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi meet all the needs of all. However, General Zuo also knows that our Yangzhou has been fighting for years, and the former general Yuan Shu and Cao Sikong have been in constant conflict, so Yangzhou is not poor. It is really painful to entertain Mrs. Mi Fang and General Mi Fang back to Yuzhou this time, and there is no travel expense. Therefore, our master hopes that General Zuo can pay a travel expense so that our army can have the ability to send General Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi back to Yuzhou! Send it to General Zuo's mansion!"

"How many?!"

"Not much, just one hundred thousand stones of food and grass!" Yang Jie burst out a number.

"Puff!" Yang Jie's number made everyone present spit out old blood, 100,000 stones, not much, it's only! You can't fight like this even if you rob, it's already tens of thousands of dollars. And now who can't know that you have shortage of food and grass in Yangzhou? This made your lord Liu Mang go to Jingzhou in person despite the danger to get the food and grass from Jingzhou. Liu Bei was waiting for you to have no food and grass in Yangzhou, and the people were out of their food and the bullets were gone and the people finally went to pick up the bargain! How could you give you food and grass?

The most important thing is that Liu Bei's total net worth is almost 100,000 stones. If you are given Liu Bei and the northwest wind, Liu Bei will not only have troops in Nanyang and troops in Yuzhou to raise, but also plan to expand his army to 100,000. If you give it to Liu Bei, don't live.

"It's really a cheap trip!" Liu Bei sarcastically said, with an angry look on his face.

"Your Lord's request is impossible!" Jian Yong, who was beside him, also saw the anger of his lord. Liu Bei couldn't get angry at Yang Jie directly, so he would lose face, but Jian Yong didn't care! As a minister, he was originally a person who helped his lord solve his problems.

"I think it's too much for 100,000 stones!" Yang Jie deliberately pretended to be surprised. "Of course, my master also knows that General Zuo started from a small matter and knows how to be thrifty, so my master also understands General Zuo and deliberately cuts it in half for only 50,000 stones of food and grass!"

"Yang Jie, aren't you really afraid of death!" Yang Jie's words were simply provoking. What does it mean to start with a small matter and thrift? To put it bluntly, it means looking down on you Liu Bei, but just a poor man who sells straw sandals. After Liu Bei was recognized by the Emperor of Han as Uncle Liu, Liu Bei was very taboo about his experience of selling straw sandals, but now he was pulled out by Yang Jie.

"General Zuo is going to kill him!" Yang Jie smiled indifferently. "No, Li Jue and Guo Si are first-rate yet know that the two armies will not kill him when they fight. How could they kill him in the name of General Zuo's benevolence and righteousness!"

Yang Jie blocked Liu Bei's words. Who is Li Jue and Guo Si? He is almost defined as a traitor. Even such a person knows not to kill the envoy. If you Liu Bei kill me, then even Li Jue and Guo Si are not as good as you, Liu Bei, and you, Liu Bei, have always been known for your kindness and righteousness! Yang Jie took risks when he said this, because no one knows whether Liu Bei would kill him in anger. This time, there was a great risk, but Yang Jie still came without hesitation. He was betting!

"Hmph, Yang Jie opens the door and speaks with great words! 50,000 s are impossible. Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe should be in Yangzhou. He must know the fire in Nanyang!" It was obvious that Yang Jie had a right bet. Jian Yong snorted and stepped forward to Yang Jie and said, "If it weren't for Jia Xu's affairs, Liu Bei might still be able to take out 50,000 s of food and grass now. But Jia Xu's fire burned the entire Wancheng's savings. Now Liu Bei still ate the food and grass left in Deng and other cities to survive. He also hoped to provide support from Yuzhou, otherwise he would not have sent Pang Tong to Jingzhou. He also went there for food and grass.

Liu Bei didn't care about Jia Xu at first, but Jia Xu burned the granary of Wancheng before he paid attention to this person. Later, he learned that this person was a talented person. When Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked Chang'an, this person planned that Liu Bei was ruined on the spot.

"Thirty thousand stones, no bargaining!" Yang Jie revealed another price.

"Thirty thousand stones?!" The price is fine. Although 30,000 stones are more than 30,000 stones, it is not impossible to make up. Mi Fang was not worth much, but Mi Fang followed a lady Mi. This lady Mi was Liu Bei's wife. No matter how affectionate Liu Bei was, he still had to redeem his wife.

"Okay, our army sent food and grass for General Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi to come back safely!" Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei with his eyes and knew that the 30,000 stones were still in Liu Bei's mind.

"No problem, a total of 60,000 stones are available, just send it to Xinye! General Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi will also deliver it to Xinye!" Yang Jie nodded and was still very satisfied with the price.

"Sixty thousand stones?" Jian Yong below was stunned again. Didn't he agree to have 30,000 stones just now, but why did it turn into 60,000 stones again?

"That's right. Each person has 30,000 yuan, two people have 60,000 stones!" Yang Jie looked at Jian Yong innocently. "What's wrong, Jian Jijiu, you won't be reluctant to leave the 30,000 stones of food and grass! This is only one thousand gold! It's only two thousand gold in total!"

Two thousand gold? Jian Yong wanted to go up and tear Yang Jie. It is true that two thousand gold can buy 60,000 stones of grain and grass, but how many years ago it was, the price is at least four or five times higher, and it may not be possible to buy the 60,000 stones of grain and grass. If Liu Mang could buy it with money, he would not go to Jingzhou. It is now prohibited to sell food randomly.

"Yang Changzhi, you have nothing to talk about when you say this! You don't want to send General Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi back at all!" Jian Yong said to Yang Jie with a cold face.

"How could it be!" Yang Jie said exaggeratedly, "My Lord is very sincere. The dowry given to General Mi Fang's family to General Zuo was three thousand servants, countless carriages, and more than ten thousand gold and silver. My Lord just wanted a small part of it!"

Yang Jie's words made Liu Bei vomit blood. It is true that the dowry given by the Mi family was very large, and it can even be said to be the largest in the world. But you have to know that these things have been consumed over the years. If it weren't for your Lu Bu, Liu Bei wouldn't have been so miserable! With the Mi family's wealth and Xuzhou, Liu Bei would have turned over and become the master of the family, so why is it like this now?

To be honest, Yang Jie received a task when he came, just trying to be undisputed. Perhaps Yangzhou didn’t want to talk at all.

If Liu Mang wanted to send Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi back, why should this be so? Mi Fang was a second-rate general, and she was still a kind of confident and unpowered person. At best, it was better than Huang Shooting. Mrs. Mi! Liu Mang admitted that this white jade beauty was very beautiful, and there was also a kind of temptation of a wife, but don’t forget the two tigresses of Liu Mang’s family. This is not the key. The key is that Liu Mang is not a perpetual motion machine, and there is only so much ammunition. Plus, a Mrs. Mi who is at the age of hungry, Liu Mang should not fight for dominance.

If these two people could, Liu Mang would want to change them. One Lu Su Liu Mang only sold one thousand gold, let alone these two! And Liu Mang said one big to 100,000 yuan to disgust Liu Bei.

He knew that Liu Bei would bargain, and he would pay it to 30,000 shi. This was Liu Bei's psychological price. Yang Jie gave him another 30,000 shi, one, and two shi, which was 60,000.

If Liu Bei gives it or not, if Liu Bei gives it, Liu Mang would not break his promise and send it back. With these 60,000 stones of grain and grass, Liu Mang can be more than enough for a long time. According to Liu Mang's army, although Liu Mang's army estimated that Liu Bei's grain and grass, he would not starve to death. He would definitely be short of money and expand his army to 100,000. It is already thrifty to maintain a normal organization.

If Liu Bei did not give it to you, then Liu Mang's goal would have been achieved. As mentioned before, there is no shortage of counselors in Liu Mang's army, top counselors Jia Xu Xu Shu Liu Ye, if you add your cheap father-in-law Lu Bu, there is also an old man Chen Gong Chen, among the generals! The cheap father-in-law is a top military general. The first-class military general Zhao Yun Xu Sheng Wei Yan, and Zhang Liao and Zang Ba are not included in the training commander! It is not bad.

What Liu Mang lacks now is food and grass, and the other is a top businessman.

A person who can host the business in Yangzhou is the top businessman in this world, one is the Zhen family in Hebei, and the other is the Mi family in Xuzhou. The Zhen family is too far away. In Hebei, not to mention that the old Cao in Hebei is fighting with the Yuan brothers there now. Even if there is no war, how could the Zhen family come when you Liu Mang say that, but they are taking the family with their families! They don’t just leave.

Mi Fang used to be a big family, but now she has dispersed all her wealth. This is not what Poet Li said, born to be useful, and I will come back again after spending all my money. That is what Poet Li did not have to worry about eating and drinking, and the wealth of the Mi family is as rich as the country. How can I come back after spending all my money? Even if I want to make a comeback, I need capital.

Liu Mang liked the head of the Mi family, which was Mi Zhu, the number one businessman in the Han Dynasty.

The twenty-one world lacks talents, and the great man also lacks talents, and Liu Mang lacks even more.

But Mi Zhu has already fallen into Liu Bei's arms, how can Mi Zhu surrender to Liu Mang? Mi Zhu cannot threaten Mi Zhu by relying on the Mi brothers and sisters alone. From the original trajectory, Mi Fang betrayed Liu Bei and joined Jiangdong. Mrs. Mi died long ago, but Mi Zhu still resolutely stayed by Liu Bei's side. You will know that this person is just like Kuai Yue, the old fox of the Kuai family in Jingzhou. He always puts the family first. Only when you force him to the extreme will you truly wake up.

Liu Mang used Kuai Ran and Kuai Liang to force Kuai Yue to stand in the side, and Liu Mang also wanted to use Mi Fang and Madam Mi to force Mi Zhu.

If Liu Bei doesn't give Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi, what would you think? They have worked hard for you for the rest of their lives and have married you with their sister. It would not be too much to ask you to spend some money to redeem your sister and brother (this small amount is compared with the Mi family's wealth).

Once you don't give it to me, Mi Zhu will be really disappointed. Once you die, Liu Mang's chance will come.

"Impossible!" It's better to grab it if you snatch it with 60,000 straits. Liu Bei immediately made the decision impossible.

"Chief Yang asked you to go to the inn to rest first. Once there is news, my lord will definitely notify you!" Jian Yong did not immediately ask his lord to reject Yang Jie directly, but slowly planned to do so.

"In this way, Yang Jie will take his leave first! I hope General Zuo is faster. General Zuo also knows that my Yangzhou food and grass are insufficient! If General Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi go hungry, it will be bad!" Yang Jie is getting a vaccination. If Liu Bei practices Tai Chi, Liu Mang's plan will be gone. He didn't say he would not give it, but he would give it later, and he would give it later! He will continue to be over until the end of the world. What can you do? So Yang Jie is getting a vaccination or threatening Liu Bei. Either give it, so don't be nonsense. If this time is long, they will not be responsible for safety in Yangzhou.
Chapter completed!
