Mi Zhu's expression kept changing. Wang Xuan and Xi Zhicai just looked at him. After a while, Mi Zhu took a long breath and his expression finally calmed down.
After giving a deep bow to Wang Xuan, Mi Zhu said in a deep voice: "My goal is not to make much money, and I ask Prince Wang to fulfill my purpose."
This visit made Mi Zhu decide to completely surrender to Liu Bei. Firstly, Liu Bei's generous treatment made him feel like a spring breeze. Secondly, Linzi's rapid development made him full of confidence!
"It's okay if you think so. When you leave this time, Guild Xuande will go with you to visit Kong Rong and Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou. I will suggest to Duke Xuande that you be given the position of Jincao Shishi, the main currency of salt and iron.
thing."
"This aspect is your expertise. At the same time, I need all the craftsmen of your Mi family. As for money, I don't care."
Mi Zhu's face suddenly brightened up. The position of Jin Cao Shi was not high. He was a county guard and was responsible for currency, salt and iron affairs. But the more this happened, the more Mi Zhu felt Wang Xuan's sincerity. This was not just looking at
The official position was only given with money from the Mi family, but he actually accepted the Mi family's position in the hope that Mi Zhu would come out to do things.
Because these are the things he is best at.
At this point, his Mi family has completely embarked on an official career.
As the group walked back, Wang Xuan specifically emphasized that the more craftsmen the better, and they could find ways to get more from other families, especially carpenters and shipbuilding craftsmen.
In addition, Qingzhou needs a lot of grain and grass. Through the Mijia trade route, they try their best to buy grain and transport it back. Money is not a problem. Although Linzi is not on the right track, not even primary industrialization, many products
, can still bring a lot of money.
Another point is that Wang Xuan feels that the speed of development in the late Han Dynasty will definitely exceed that of the Ming Dynasty. One aspect is that the human body is faster and stronger. More importantly, there is such a thing as warmth and nourishment.
Means of cheating.
Many industrial spare parts can be installed in one step, and the precision will be higher from the beginning.
Especially with the opening of grain roads, more grain will be transported next time and the speed will be faster.
…
When going to Xuzhou this time, since Liu Bei would also be on a diplomatic visit, Wang Xuan directly arranged for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to follow him to ensure safety.
In addition, Wang Xuan also selected many "talents" and dispatched them all.
Xi Zhicai and a group of others looked at Wang Xuan with strange expressions, "Are you sure these people are the 'talents' you mentioned?"
Xi Zhicai deliberately emphasized the word talent.
No wonder he felt this way. As soon as Xi Zhicai said these words, the faces of the people below immediately showed a bit of displeasure. There was no fear at all because of Xi Zhicai's high position. Their eyes were full of unruliness.
Look at the group of people below. Some are skinny, some have fat heads and big ears, some are tall and burly, and some are short and stocky. Looking at them all, no one has anything special about them, but the only thing they have in common is that they are all the same.
'Scoundrels', of course, in this day and age, everyone would call them knight-errants.
They understand and are proficient in basically all the qualities that make rulers disgusted, such as eating well and being lazy, cheating, sneaking around, fighting.
Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not do anything to them, and they lived a more prosperous life than those honest people who were honest and willing to work.
However, now that Linzi is undergoing great development, these guys are gradually revealed. With the benefit of Wang Xuan, they were specially selected, and the two hundred or so people in front of them are the key elements among them!
"Of course this is a talent!" Wang Xuan said firmly and forcefully, earning Wang Xuan's praise, which made the guys who were a little dissatisfied with Xi Zhicai's words immediately straighten their backs.
Wang Xuan looked around and continued: "There is no waste in this world. Even a piece of cow shit has its use, let alone them."
"I said they are talents, and they are definitely talents. It's just that you haven't found a suitable occasion for them to perform!"
"Let's put it this way, these people in my hands can equal a hundred thousand soldiers!"
What the hell?
From Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, to Xi Zhicai Zaozhi and others, they all looked at Wang Xuan with wide eyes. It was simply unreasonable for Wang Xuan to say that these smelly fish and rotten shrimps could withstand a hundred thousand soldiers.
Even they deserve it!
Although Liu Guan, Zhang Dian and others were also among the rangers back then, they still didn't believe it.
"Don't believe it, I can withstand a hundred thousand soldiers!"
When Wang Xuan said this, although these rangers were happy, they looked at Wang Xuan strangely, clearly expressing one point that you are boasting too much, and we ourselves don't believe it!
"I will give you a lot of insights today!" Wang Xuan knocked on the table, and everyone fell silent.
"Yide, let me ask you, who is the most knowledgeable person about the news in the city?"
Zhang Fei was stunned, scratched his head and thought, "Of course it's the prefect..."
At this point, he was a little stuck. After thinking for a while, he glanced at the two hundred people standing below, "It should be them!"
Wang Xuan laughed, "Yes, even though the prefect is in a high position, but because of this, the news that needs to be paid attention to is too high-end, whether it is changes in the court or major events happening thousands of miles away, but if we say that the major events happening in the city are small,
Love, the ones with the best information must be these rangers!"
Wang Xuan casually clicked on a thin guy and asked, "Am I right?"
The guy straightened his back and raised his fists towards Wang Xuan, "Reporting to Mr. Wang, let's not talk about it from afar. I think about what happened in the city back then. I went up to the prefect's mansion and threw a few needles. Who stole a man from a certain family?
There are only things we don’t want to know about our neighbors, and there’s nothing we don’t know!”
Wang Xuan snapped his fingers and looked at Xi Zhicai, "What, if I put these people in major cities in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, and give them enough money, what do you think..."
Wang Xuan didn't say the rest of the story, but it was almost obvious who Xi Zhi was. He wanted to set up an intelligence agency!
The Han Dynasty also had an intelligence agency, called Sili Xiaowei, formerly known as Crouching Tiger. It was the censor who supervised the capital (central) and surrounding areas from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was first placed in the fourth year of Zhenghe (89 BC) by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It was omitted in the fourth year of Yuanyan (9 BC) by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. It was restored during the reign of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. Xiao Wei was omitted and called Sili. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was renamed Sili Xiaowei. Until the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, Sili Xiaowei was
They are all secret inspectors who supervise the capital and the surrounding areas.
However, Xi Zhicai looked carefully at these guys. Although they couldn't be said to be good, they really couldn't see that they didn't have any special skills. How could they really be so well-informed?
Looking at Xi Zhicai's expression, Wang Xuan knew what he was thinking.
