The Mi family's mansion is a fifth of the size of a county town. It can be said that under the management of three generations of the Mi family, the entire Qu County is almost equivalent to the private property of the Mi family.
In fact, according to the wealth of the Mi family, one of the five wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty, he should at least be rooted in Xuzhou, Tan County, the seat of Donghai County, so that he can have greater room for development. However, the status of the wealthy businessman is too low, even if he has money, it is useless.
If you really go to Tan County to compete with those wealthy families for space, you will definitely be eaten without leaving any bones.
This is also the reason why the Mi family has always been rooted in the small county. At least, there are no aristocratic families in this small county, so the Mi family can completely control the place.
It is important for people to be self-aware, which is also the way for the Mi family to survive. Over the years, the Mi family has grown step by step. Now, its wealth is at least the top in Xuzhou, but it has never been swallowed up by those wolf-like aristocratic families.
It's about sticking to the foundation.
The entire Qu County is managed by the Mi family into a monolith, with 100,000 acres of fertile land, tens of thousands of tenants, and all kinds of craftsmen. It is almost self-sufficient. Once the Mi family is cornered, they can raise a rebel army of tens of thousands at any time.
, coupled with the various arrangements of the Mi family in Xuzhou, there is absolutely no problem in turning the whole of Xuzhou upside down.
In the entire Xuzhou, no family wants to completely anger the Mi family. Small families are incapable of doing so. As for the big families, if one of them fails, they are likely to be pushed back by the Mi family. This is also the reason why the Mi family has been able to develop safely until now.
Not to rob the interests of the family, but also like a hedgehog, it is difficult to attack. In addition, these three generations of family heads are all heroes among men, full of blood, and always have the thought of dying with others, so they have developed like this on a tightrope.
kind of situation.
If there was one head of the family who was greedy for pleasure, greedy for life and afraid of death, the Mi family would have been doomed long ago.
At this moment, Mi Zhu held the letter written by Mi Fang in his hand and read the Yi Jing over and over three times.
It describes in detail everything that happened after encountering the Pang family, from being ambushed, to Wang Xuan taking action at the critical moment, to Wang Xuan turning back and killing the head of the Pang family, every detail is clearly written.
.
Putting down the silk cloth, Mi Zhu rubbed her brows and couldn't help but start muttering in her heart.
Wang Xuan's appearance was a bit of a coincidence. It could be said that it was not too early or too late. If it was too early, it would not be considered as saving a life. If it was too late, Mi Fang brother and sister might have died. This made Mi Zhu, who was accustomed to intrigues, naturally a little suspicious, but
Wang Xuan then brought back the heads of the head of the Pang family and his eldest son. Mi Zhu knew the risks involved, so it seemed that Wang Xuan was sincerely helping.
"Alas..." Mi Zhu sighed. Although he knew in his heart that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world had become less peaceful day by day, he never expected that he would encounter such a big trouble during this trip, and he could not help feeling towards his younger brothers and sisters.
worries.
But I thought the matter would just go away, but little did I know that the meetings continued one after another, and Mi Fang’s letters never stopped!
First, the little sister was frightened and fell ill, leaving the doctor helpless. Then, after Wang Xuan went into seclusion, he used his magic skills to completely cure the little sister's condition. Then, the little sister developed feelings for Wang Xuan. With the death of the Ling Emperor, Wang Xuan
Commenting that the world is about to be in chaos, they must slowly approach Luoyang to get some benefits.
A letter came almost every three to five days, and Mi Zhu couldn't stop thinking about it. Until the last letter arrived, Mi Zhu finally made up his mind to leave Xuzhou to meet Prince Wang Xuan, and at the same time find an opportunity to participate.
Major events in the world.
He strongly agreed with Wang Xuan's statement that the world was in chaos. Although he didn't know how Wang Xuan judged it, he felt some bad signs based on the rise in subway prices and weapons prices in recent years.
Furthermore, Wang Xuan is right, Luoyang is indeed dangerous now, but crises also come with opportunities. If the Mi family wants to go further, they cannot be timid and wait for opportunities to come, but should not be afraid of danger and take the initiative to find them!
Just one day before he settled everything at home and prepared to set off, Mi Fang's latest letter arrived. Wang Xuan collected three yellow scarf leaders who had practiced Qi Gang and six hundred bandits, preparing to train a force in case of emergencies.
need.
Mi Zhu only thought about it for a moment and immediately decided to take only money and food with him when he went out this time, and the amount was tripled.
Although he didn’t know why Wang Xuan wanted to pull out an army by himself, and he didn’t know how big it was, he knew that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, too many powerful people from well-known families had risen because the imperial court had opened up private recruitment.
Come on, if it weren't for the threat of force and the ability to drag people to death at any time, I wouldn't be able to live today in comfort.
The person who is now friends with their Mi family can raise an army, and his younger brother is full of praises in every word. He must be strong, so it doesn't hurt that his Mi family provides some money and food to support it. This thing is very important to the Mi family.
It's just a drop in the bucket, it doesn't matter even if it's wasted.
With more than two hundred carts of money and food, and three hundred elite guards, Mi Zhu set off directly from Xuzhou for Chenliu.
On the other side, Wang Xuan was resting in Dingtao City. As for hiring people to promote himself, Mi Fang had been arranged. Furthermore, he was not prepared to associate with some so-called local celebrities. With Wang Xuan's talent,
Even among the top counselors from the Three Kingdoms, Wang Xuan has never been afraid of anyone!
A few days later, Liao Hua made a special trip to the city to find Wang Xuan, "Sir, we have explored everything within a hundred miles of Dingtao."
After listening to Liao Hua's story, Wang Xuan set his sights on a family named Qian.
The Qian family can only be regarded as a third-rate family in the entire Chenliu family. However, the family has a lot of fertile land and family tradition. In this era, except for those families that have reached the peak of development, they will not use any despicable methods against the local area.
In addition, for a family that is still developing, its methods of plundering are not clean.
Of course, Wang Xuan's targeting of the Qian family was definitely not because their family had a lot of money and food.
Instructing Liao Hua to go back and deliver the order, Uncle Zhou Cang led a thousand people and all the carriages and horses to quietly move towards the Qian family's manor outside the city. He then ordered Mi Fang to hold a big banquet in Dingtao City the next night, making it very noisy.
It would be best if everyone in Dingtao knew about it. After he missed it, he quietly left the city.
A fast horse was prepared outside the city early. Wang Xuan followed Liao Hua straight to the ambush site, and met up with Zhou Cang and his party more than ten miles away from the Qian family manor.
"Zhou Cang went to the east, Zhang Bo went to the north, Liao Hua and I went to the main entrance, and left the west side for them to escape. This is called surrounding three people and leaving one way for them to escape. This will avoid a desperate resistance."
"You all know the location of the granary and warehouse. Zhou Cang is in charge of the granary and Uncle Zhang is in charge of the warehouse. Don't delay on the way. As long as you don't resist, you don't have to talk to them. Business is important. Liao Hua and I will be responsible for clearing the obstacles!"
