Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 304 Mi Zhu's Worries

This issue of the newspaper has a great influence, more influential than the previous newspapers.

Many illiterate people read the newspaper and missed this scene very much. Later, someone told them specific things.

Therefore, this newspaper covers many people.

The previous donation event had already had a great influence, and now it has even greater influence.

Many people will continue to donate.

Because, Zhang Ming is really recruiting a large number of refugees.

This issue of the newspaper was soon sold elsewhere.

Needless to say, Qingzhou, because Qingzhou is relatively close, and many people in Qingzhou were brought to Youzhou by Zhang Ming, and have contacts with Youzhou.

Many people in Qingzhou know that after arriving in Youzhou, they will have a good life.

It's just that it's hard to leave the homeland. If you don't become a refugee, no matter how good Youzhou is, people don't want to go.

Afterwards, newspapers swept across half of China.

"Hey, the people of Youzhou are blessed."

"I heard that Zhang Ming is not a good thing, but it is much better than Cao Cao."

"This Zhang Ming is not as bad as the legend says."

"Cao Cao is really nothing, fortunately there is Zhang Ming."

"Good man, actually give porridge to drink."

In many places, newspapers are displayed and read to those who cannot afford them or who cannot read.

Therefore, newspapers have a huge influence.

After the newspaper arrived in Xuzhou, it caused a sensation even more.

Zhang Ming hired hundreds of people to read newspapers in various places. As long as these people incited a little, they could almost influence the thoughts of these people.

"Youzhou really provides food and housing."

"Give back the land. I heard that the land is my own."

"As long as you pay half of the land rent in the first three years, you can pay the normal rent after three years."

"We pay [-]% to the landlord for farming, the third to the court, and the fourth to the owner."

"It's good to be alive."

The people of Xuzhou were shocked, how could they not be worried if they were asked to go thousands of miles away.

This newspaper showed them the situation in Youzhou.

Youzhou will really resettle them, give them houses, and return them land.

Now, many people are really moved.

Although they will not go to Youzhou with Zhang Ming yet, as long as Cao Cao calls and they have no hope of living, they will go with Zhang Ming.

In addition, some refugees who have lost their land are already moved. As long as possible, they will follow to Youzhou.

As soon as this newspaper came out, the recruitment of refugees became easier.

When Cao Cao saw the newspaper, he was also very angry.

"This Zhang Ming, I don't know how many things are waiting for me."

"It's really hateful, hateful."

Cao Cao was furious again.

He called Cheng Yu over.

"Zhongde, is there any clue about the newspaper matter?"

"My lord, we have already started preparations, but the cost is huge. In addition to paper, there are also dyes. If you want to print it, the price may be even higher."

"Printing, no matter how high it is, you have to try. I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​has also started printing, and he also asked people to set up a lot of places to read newspapers, and read newspapers openly. This is a very good way."

"Yes, my lord."

After the newspaper came out, the recruitment of refugees in Xuzhou went smoothly.

Many people took the initiative to drag their families to Zhang Ming.

And Cao Cao didn't dare to stop it. Once he stopped, even his own Yanzhou would be in chaos.

Not only did Cao Cao dare not stop him, but even Tao Qian couldn't stop him.

Tao Qian was already seriously ill. He was worried every day in the State Shepherd's Mansion, and things needed to be resolved.

Tao Qian called Liu Bei, Mi Zhu and others in the state pastoral mansion.

"I let the people of Xuzhou be massacred, and let them go far away from home. What face do I have to see the late emperor?"

Tao Qian burst into tears, and several people quickly persuaded him.

"I heard that Cao Cao is about to invade Xiapi City. If I die at that time and make him retreat, I will admit it."

"Tao Gong, you are highly respected, and Xuzhou cannot do without you." Liu Bei persuaded.

Several other people also persuaded.

Tao Qian leaned back against the chair, looking weak.

He said: "I don't have much time left to live. This Xuzhou may not be able to stop Cao Cao's soldiers, but this Cao Cao insists on massacring the city, so he must defend to the end."

"Xuande, you are a descendant of the Han royal family, you should try your best to protect the people in this city."

Liu Bei was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was sad and indignant.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tao, I will live and die with the people of this city."

Tao Qian nodded weakly.

He has been seriously ill for a long time, and Xuzhou is really precarious today.

Tao Qian ordered many more things, and then he was so weak that he could only lie down.

Everyone dispersed, and Liu Bei walked with Mi Zhu.

"Mr. Xuande, Cao Cao is invading, you have to use all your strength. The guard Cao Bao is just an idiot. He can't stop Cao Cao." Mi Zhu said worriedly.

Mi Zhu's entire net worth is in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is his foundation.

"Zizhong, you are the most important minister Tao Gong relies on."

Don't drive Mi Zhu, he is indeed an important person with real power in Xuzhou.

But Mi Zhu is good at developing the economy, and it is impossible for him to be in charge of the military.

"No, I know it myself. It's okay to get food and grass, but it's not good at all to march and deploy troops to kill the enemy."

The two chatted and left the State Shepherd's Mansion.

This Liu Bei wanted Xuzhou very much, but he couldn't say it.

He doesn't have a piece of land now, and he has very few soldiers and horses under him.

The two talked for a long time before going back separately.

When going back this time, Mi Zhu was in a heavy heart.

"Brother, you are frowning, but what's bothering you?"

Mi Zhu nodded and said: "Although Cao Cao is a hero, he has many capable people under his command, and the Xiahou family and the Cao family will rely heavily on him. If Xuzhou falls, our Mi family may fall."

Death is not enough, Cao Cao should also use Mi Zhu, but it must be marginalized.

Although Mi Zhu is a first-tier businessman, he knows it very well.

He is a powerful figure in Xuzhou, Tao Qian relies on him very much, and must rely on him.

But if Cao Cao takes Xuzhou, everything changes, he will have no power.

Cao Cao has a lot of talents under his command, and it is difficult to reuse him.

Mi Zhu understood very well, so he was very active in defending Xuzhou, and at the same time tried his best to win over Liu Bei, wanting him to replace Tao Qian.

Mi Zhu was not very concerned about who would be the governor of Xuzhou and who would control Xuzhou.

What he cares about is whether the Mi family can continue to be reused after taking control of Xuzhou, and whether the Mi family can retain this transcendent status.

Tao Qian was old, already a dead bone in the grave, Mi Zhu knew better than anyone else that Tao Qian was unreliable and had to change his master.

"Hey, Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu sighed.

"Brother, whoever changed this Xuzhou, our Mi family is still prosperous."

"You do not understand"

"This incompetent Tao Qian is not as good as Zhang Ming in Youzhou. If you can't stop Cao Cao, we will vote for Cao Cao. If brother is afraid of fame, then we will vote for Cao Cao after the city is destroyed. Based on our status in Xuzhou , what else can Cao Cao do?"

"You don't understand, without power in your hands, how can the family continue to prosper in this troubled world."

Mi Zhu is very greedy for power. In his hands, the Mi family is already one of the four major merchant families. He doesn't care about money anymore. What he wants now is power.
