Looking at the anxious businessman, Jia Rong asked: "What is your name? Where are you a businessman?"
The merchant hurriedly saluted and replied: "Mi Zhu, a native of Xuzhou, came here to sell horses. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation."
Jia Rong suppressed his inner excitement and ordered the guards to take Mi Zhu down to rest. His right hand couldn't help but tremble when he picked up the tea cup.
Could it be that God is really blessing him? He is God's darling. How come good luck comes one after another? All he meets are famous people from the Three Kingdoms. If it were in the future world, Jia Rong would have been excited to buy lottery tickets.
I thought about it over and over for most of the night, but I still couldn't figure out how to squeeze the maximum profit from Mi Zhu, so I had to fall asleep.
The next day, Jia Rong led 300 bodyguard cavalry, led by Mi Zhu, to a place twenty miles away from the thief's nest.
Jia Rong has no sympathy for these bandits who do not rely on their own labor force to survive but rely on robbing sanitation. In his previous life, he was born in a rural area and the plunder of Lijia Village made Jia Rong want to kill all the robbers and horse thieves.
Bring him to justice.
Without much thought, Jia Rong led 300 cavalrymen and rushed directly to the den of thieves. Shouts of kill, begging for mercy, and the sound of horses filled the sinful world. Only the faint smell of blood proved that someone had indeed died just now.
The crimes committed by these horse thieves can only be washed away with their blood.
Mi Zhu's son was saved. Seeing the father and son burst into tears with excitement, Jia Rong showed a knowing smile. Although he did not claim to be a good person, it felt good to do good deeds.
Mi Zhu pulled his son who was out of danger to come to Jia Rong, knelt down and said, "Thank you for saving my life. From now on, as long as you give me your instructions, Mi Zhu will never give up." The businessman pursues profit, but he treats his savior.
He won't be stingy about anything. Just like Wei Guan before, all the ancestral swords were given to Jia Rong. We can't rule out the little tricks Jia Rong used.
He hurriedly helped the two kneeling people up and said modestly: "It's just a small effort, so it's not worth mentioning. On the contrary, you were robbed by horse thieves in Beidi County. It's my fault."
After careful inspection, he found that Mi Zhu's son was stronger than Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu was not as pot-bellied as the merchants of later generations, but gave people a strong feeling. At this moment, Jia Rong thought that he had recognized the wrong person. How could the merchant do this?
With this appearance, he could be called a military commander.
After Mi Zhu stood up, he pointed to his bruised son next to him and introduced, "This is Mi Wei, the son of the family." Mi Wei saluted Jia Rong again.
Looking at the bruises on Mi Wei's face, the faint traces of blood on the corners of his mouth, his messy hair that couldn't block the sharp light in his eyes, his seven-foot figure, several big holes in his silk clothes, and his unruly expression
Jia Rong nodded approvingly and gave people a clean and neat feeling in his movements. This guy is also a great general on the battlefield.
On the way back to Beidi County, Jia Rong asked Mi Zhu, who looked delighted, "I wonder where brother Mi is doing business?"
Mi Zhu saluted on his horse and replied: "Your Majesty, my courtesy name is Zizhong. You can just call me Zizhong. My family has lived in Xuzhou for generations."
After confirming his thoughts, Jia Rong felt particularly happy.
If Liu Bei in history had not had the support of this big businessman in Xuzhou, he would not have risen so quickly. Moreover, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were not only businessmen, but also military generals. The Mi family has been doing business for generations. It is not too much to say that they are as rich as the enemy. Jia Rong
What I am thinking about now is how to keep the great god Mi Zhu in Beidi County, so that this winter in Beidi County will be much easier.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Brother Zizhong, don't worry about those false etiquette. My surname is Jia Rong and my courtesy name is Zhiyuan. Brother Zizhong can just call me Zhiyuan from now on."
Listening to Jia Rong's tone and behavior, Mi Zhu cupped his hands and replied, "Mi Zhu appreciates your kindness, but the etiquette cannot be exceeded."
Mi Wei next to him replied: "Sir, are you General Jia who led five hundred cavalry and defeated the Qiang cavalry?"
Jia Rong chuckled: "That's a rumor from outsiders. It's not as powerful as they say." But he felt a little proud in his heart. We are also celebrities.
Mi Wei said excitedly: "Your Excellency is indeed who you are. I have often heard others mention your honor and fame along the way. This time I saw that he is indeed as good as his name."
Jia Rong's heart moved. From Mi Wei's expression, it was not difficult to tell that he was also a militant. If he started from Mi Wei's line, there was no guarantee that Mi Zhu would not give in.
Looking at Mi Wei with a look of admiration on his face, Jia Rong smiled and said: "Mi Wei, I see that your figure has improved and you are majestic. You have also practiced martial arts. I wonder how your martial arts are?"
Mi Wei straightened his body and said, "Sir, it's okay to treat one as ten!"
The strong confidence coming from Mi Wei made Jia Rong nod in approval, "He is really a tiger general!"
Mi Wei couldn't help but smile with joy after being recognized by his admirers. He usually likes to practice martial arts and has no interest in the family's business. He does not practice martial arts to keep fit like his father Mi Zhu.
Mi Wei suppressed the joy in his heart, cupped his fists and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, sir!"
Jia Rong further probed: "A real man should imitate Wei Huo, attack the Xiongnu from afar, flatten the Helan Mountains, kill enemies on the battlefield, and gain fame. Now is the time when our great Han Dynasty is troubled internally and externally. All bloody men want to serve the country. At that time, fame and fame
What an honor it is to be here, to shine on the lintel of one’s family, to have a wife and a shadow, and to leave one’s name in history!”
The cavalry behind him responded loudly: "I will follow the general to the death!"
The roar of the three hundred cavalry made Mi Wei's blood boil. Jia Rong's words also stimulated him greatly. He clasped his fists and replied: "What you said is true. I have tried to serve the country and kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it is hard."
No chance." After saying that, he looked regretful.
Mi Zhu is a person who has been doing business all year round and has a careful mind. Seeing that his son cannot withstand Jia Rong's provocation, his youthful enthusiasm comes back. However, what Jia Rong said made his heart, which was not silent, stirred.
At this time, a bad feeling came into my heart, and I yelled: "Don't talk nonsense in front of adults."
Mi Wei retorted: "Everything the child said is true. It's not like the father who practices martial arts all day just to keep fit, but doesn't want the child to join the army. If it weren't for the father, the child would have joined the Xuzhou army long ago. Why watch those things all day long?
The expressions on the officials' faces, if one day the child becomes a general in the court, those officials will not rush to the mansion to flatter him." Even the past dissatisfaction with his father was completely exposed by Mi Wei.
Mi Wei's words left Mi Zhu unable to refute. His beard stood up in anger and he cursed: "You traitor."
Jia Rong hurriedly stepped forward to be the peacemaker. After all, he was the one who instigated the matter. "Brother Zizhong, there is no need to be angry. How can the child's words be taken seriously?"
Then he smiled at Mi Wei who looked dissatisfied and said: "Mi Wei, this prefect plans to organize an army to clean up these horse thieves operating in Beidi County. Now there is a lack of strong generals. I don't know..."
After hearing this, Mi Wei was so excited that he almost jumped off his horse. He saluted very cooperatively and said: "My lord, if you have a mission, Mi Wei will not hesitate to die. Mi Wei's life was saved by your lord." The implication is that even if it is him.
It's useless for dad to say anything, he just wanted to repay the favor.
Mi Zhu snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Jia Rongzhengzheng said: "Very good, if all my big men are like Mi Wei, why worry about internal thieves being unstable and external enemies looking at you!"
The flesh on Mi Wei's excited face trembled, and there was a burning light in his eyes. Being able to get such praise from Jia Rong, Mi Wei felt that all his previous efforts in martial arts were worth it. He turned over and dismounted and bowed: "Mi Wei
Meet your lord!"
Jia Rong dismounted and helped Mi Wei up, and said seriously: "You will be my Beidi County soldier from now on. I hope you can perform well in the army. Beidi County has always relied on merit to promote official positions. This time I made an exception and promoted you to
My lieutenant of three hundred personal guards, don't let me down my expectations for you." He patted Mi Wei's shoulder meaningfully. If it weren't for his father, Jia Rong would definitely let him start as a soldier.
Zhang Wei, who was standing next to him, stretched out his generous palm and patted Mi Wei hard, and said with a naive smile: "Mi Wei, we will be friends from now on."
Mi Wei did not dare to neglect, held back the pain in his shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "If there are any shortcomings, please give me some advice. I haven't asked the general's name yet."
Zhang Wei said with a serious face: "Zhang Wei, the deputy general of the Grand Administrator's bodyguard." After saying that, he showed a proud look on his face, but when he looked at Mi Wei, he showed a little disdain.
Mi Wei laughed dryly, bowed his hands to the cavalry guards and said, "Mi Wei is new here, please feel free to mention any shortcomings."
Mi Zhu couldn't bear it anymore. In the blink of an eye, his son became someone else's subordinate. He still expected this son to inherit the family business in the future. He coughed and said: "Master Taishou, I am young and cannot take on such an important responsibility.
If I want to join the army again after this year, I will not stop you."
Mi Wei shouted dissatisfied: "Father, every time you say this, my child has decided to join the prefect's army, that is, a member of the Beidi County army. My child has long told you that I am not suitable for business.
"
Mi Zhu snorted coldly and said, "You traitor!"
Jia Rong stepped forward and advised: "Brother Zizhong, when your child grows up, you can't keep him at home all the time. How can you just care for him? Putting Mi Wei in Beidi County to experience it will also be useful for the future."
It’s beneficial.”
Seeing Jia Rong's words, Mi Zhu could not reprimand Mi Wei anymore, but looked at Mi Wei with a look that hated iron but not steel. He should hate the general but not a businessman.
Jia Rong smiled and didn't know what to say.
However, the harvest from the extermination of these horse thieves this time is quite rich. There are more than fifty dan of food, furs, and weapons. It can also be used to supplement Beidi County. It is definitely not feasible to just sit back and have nothing.
A soldier can eat nearly three kilograms of grain every day, and one stone is equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms. Fifty stones of grain can feed fifty soldiers for forty days.
In the prefect's house, Jia Rong once again raised his glass to Mi Zhu, who was already swaying, and said, "I wish brother Zizhong a lot of wealth and a lot of money every day!"
Mi Zhu said with a vague accent: "Drink, drink!"
Zhang Li next to him said nothing. Looking at Jia Rong's endless tricks to persuade him to drink, Zhang Li finally understood why he got so drunk last time. Next, Zhang Li also understood how Jia Rong took advantage of drunkenness.
Zhang Li secretly shook his head at Jia Rong's wine.
