Beast King Three Kingdoms

In September, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu arrived in Shouchun.

Along the way, Mi Zhu's eyes were wide open. The prosperity of Shouchun was beyond his imagination.

"The former imperial capital, Luoyang, is probably nothing more than this." Mi Zhu sighed.

Not to mention Mi Zhu, even Sun Qian who came here once was amazed, Shouchun is more prosperous than before.

"Gongyou has a lot of experience, what happens next is up to you to arrange." Mi Zhu said to Sun Qian with a smile.

"Zi Zhong said it!" Sun Gan shook his head and said, "I've only been here once, so I can't call it rich experience."

"Hehe!" Mi Zhu patted Sun Gan on the shoulder and said, "Gongyou is too modest."

Sun Gan didn't say much, and led the crowd to the inn to stay overnight.

There are also classifications of post stations. What Sun Qian and others came to was a post station that specially received envoys from princes from all over the world. If they wanted to stay here, they had to declare their identities, and they could only check in after being checked by a special person.

After several procedures, everyone easily moved in.

Mi Zhu sighed again: "Simple and clear, General Yuan's actions are really extraordinary!"

Sun Qian smiled slightly, he had been to Shouchun once, and knew that Yuan Shu had countless tricks, what he saw today was just the tip of the iceberg.

Afterwards, Sun Qian sent a letter of worship, wishing to see Gu Yong.

Of course, today is obviously impossible, and we can only wait for news tomorrow.

……

That night, he entered Mi Zhu's room after being passed on.

In the room, Mi Zhu looked at the person in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

This person is Mi Zhu's confidant, who was sent to Shouchun earlier, apart from inquiring about news, he also had the intention of investigating.

All along, Mi Zhu had a good impression of Yuan Shu, and planned to vote with his whole family.

However, Liu Bei's appearance made Mi Zhu hesitate.

After observation, Mi Zhu decided that Liu Bei was indeed a rare wise master.

An old saying goes: It is better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow.

Yuan Shu's literary and martial arts were at their peak, while Liu Bei was lacking in literary and martial arts. If he joined Yuan Shu, he might not be valued.

Therefore, Mi Zhu gave up the idea of ​​defecting to Yuan Shu, and planned to serve Liu Bei wholeheartedly.

Liu Bei was able to take control of Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu made great efforts.

Originally, according to Mi Zhu's plan, he would go smoothly and become Liu Bei's minister.

Unfortunately, everything is just fantasy.

Since Liu Bei used Chen Deng, he began to gradually alienate Mi Zhu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has forgotten it.

Mi Zhu's heart became completely cold after suffering a lot and finally ended up like this.

If there is no better choice, Mi Zhu may just accept his fate and follow Liu Bei wholeheartedly, but there is such a choice (Yuan Shu), and it is close at hand.

Mi Zhu thought: "Since they are all 'Queens of the Ox', we should choose and follow."

Obviously, Yuan Shu is much stronger than Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu is also a vigorous and resolute person. After making a decision, he immediately sent someone to Shouchun to inquire.

It is rumored that under Yuan Shu's rule, the people are prosperous and the business is prosperous, but if you don't see it with your own eyes, you will always have some doubts in your heart.

As it concerns the future of the family, Mi Zhu is naturally extremely cautious.

……

At that moment, Mi Zhu asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

"Report to the Patriarch! General Yuan's rule is as rumored, and the people have ample food and clothing. The most important thing is that General Yuan does not discriminate against merchants, but instead encourages others to engage in business. Even the major families are involved."

Mi Zhu frowned slightly, and said, "It's not surprising that the aristocratic family is involved in business."

Although the aristocratic family looks down on merchants on the surface, they are also engaged in business and trade secretly to make money.

Mi Zhu already knew about this matter, and even cooperated with some aristocratic families.

"The head of the family doesn't know! In the past, the aristocratic family's business activities were all carried out in secret, very secretive, for fear that others would find out and ruin their own reputation, but under the rule of General Yuan, it has been completely open."

"Is this true?" Mi Zhu asked urgently. If this is true, it means that under Yuan Shu's rule, the status of merchants can be almost equal to that of aristocratic families. This is what Mi Zhu dreams of!

"It's true, how dare the little one deceive the Patriarch?"

"Okay!" Mi Zhu involuntarily clenched his fists, feeling extremely excited.

After a while, Mi Zhu calmed down a little, and said to his confidant: "You stay in Shouchun, and the next focus is to investigate the profits of various goods."

"Little one takes command!"

After seeing off his confidant, Mi Zhu stayed alone in the room, thinking quietly.

"Liu Bei! Don't blame me, blame yourself... ungrateful!" Mi Zhu's eyes flickered coldly, and the coldness was overwhelming.

……

The next day, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian waited quietly for news after breakfast.

Near noon, someone came to inform: "The Prime Minister has invited the Xuzhou envoy."

Mi Zhu and Sun Qian looked at each other and nodded together.

"Please lead the way," Mi Zhu said.

Under the guidance of the visitor, the two finally met Gu Yong.

"Gongyou! Long time no see." Gu Yong smiled and greeted Sun Qian.

Sun Gan said with a smile: "The Prime Minister has a lot of things to do every day, and it is a great honor to be able to remember such little people as me."

"Hehe!" Gu Yong chuckled lightly, but did not answer.

Turning to Mi Zhu, he asked, "Is this the head of the Mi family in Xuzhou, Mi Zizhong?"

"Mi Zhu has met the Prime Minister... Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Mi Zhu was quite uncomfortable with the title of Prime Minister.

Mi Zhu had also heard about Yuan Shu's previous changes, but he didn't take it seriously.

During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, countless new official positions were added, and the changes were frequent. For example, during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, the power of the prime minister was set up in the inner dynasty, all for the purpose of centralizing power.

From Mi Zhu's point of view, the purpose of Yuan Shu's reform is the same, the essence has not changed at all, it's just changing the soup without changing the medicine.

"You don't need to be too polite!" Gu Yong smiled.

The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then began to get down to business.

"I don't know why you two are here?" Gu Yong asked.

Sun Qian glanced at Mi Zhu first, then stood up and said, "The previous master (Tao Qian) had a lot of misunderstandings with General Yuan, but fortunately they have been resolved. Now that the new master is in charge of Xuzhou, he is afraid that the two families will have another dispute, and the lives will be ruined." , so I was specially ordered to come and pay a visit to avoid further misunderstandings."

When Gu Yong heard this, he immediately understood the purpose of the two of them, and a smile appeared on his face.

"So that's it! The two of you have already understood the truth of your mind." Gu Yong said lightly.

Seeing this, Sun Qian asked cautiously, "I wonder when I'm going to see General Yuan?"

Gu Yong glanced out, and said: "It's not too early now, after lunch, I will lead two envoys to visit my lord."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Sun Qian and Mi Zhu said in unison.

"Hehe!" Gu Yong stood up and said with a smile: "The business is over, everything is free! Gongyou and Zizhong come to Shouchun for a rare time, so we must treat them well!"

"Everything is arranged by the Prime Minister." Mi Zhu was still extremely respectful.

Seeing this, Gu Yong waved his hand and said: "What is the prime minister or not? I have just said it. The business has been discussed. Everything is optional. Zi Zhong can just call my watch and sigh."

Mi Zhu hesitated.

Sun Qian said with a smile: "Zi Zhong doesn't need to be restrained, Yuan Sigh is extraordinary, so he won't care about these things."

Mi Zhu smiled slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I won't be too polite, Yuan Tan!"

"Hahahaha!" Gu Yong laughed loudly and said, "Okay! I'll go out for dinner after this."

After speaking, he greeted the two of them and walked out.
