Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 268: Luoshen Zhen Mi
Chapter 268: Luoshen Zhen Mi
Although the prices of these four items scared away many interested people and no one was interested in them for a while, and the company's future diversification and large-scale development methods have not yet been decided, this auction was still very successful, so Liu He held a celebration banquet for it.
Of course, Liu He paid for this celebration banquet.
Although he, Zhang, Su and Zhen, the four parties shared the company's profits equally, in the final analysis, he was still the biggest winner.
Because these businesses were ultimately conducted on his territory, in addition to the company's profits, he also had to collect taxes himself. For example, the heaviest salt tax, he collected 4% of ten. Despite this, it was still much lower than the tax rate of more than half in the outside world.
However, although his tax rate was low, the prosperity of the counties under his rule was much better than that of many county towns. Therefore, the restaurant business, the salt business, and the pig iron and iron ore business were naturally much better than those of other ordinary county towns. All in all, the taxes Liu He could get in the end were higher than those of many local governments.
As the actual biggest beneficiary, it is only natural for me to treat others to a meal.
Dozens of people gathered in the hall of the prefect's mansion, with two rows of people sitting on each side. On the tables in front of them were all kinds of delicious food.
However, Liu He would not be like those powerful families who danced and played music while eating. He was not at that level yet, so he naturally would not do such a luxurious thing.
However, despite this, the sumptuousness of the meal still made everyone's mouths water.
After drinking more than thirty glasses of wine and eating five kinds of dishes, everyone started talking due to the joy of the day.
"Master Liu, I, Su Shuang, have been doing business all my life, but I have never been convinced by anyone in terms of business ethics. However, Master Liu, this move of yours has really impressed me and convinced me. I respect you!"
Su Shuang's face turned slightly red, but fortunately the wine in this era was relatively light and not strong, so he was just a little tipsy and not drunk.
Liu He said respectfully, "Uncle Su, you are too polite. This is all I know. If I really want to change my career and do business, I am afraid I will lose everything in a few days. I will have to rely on you in the future. I will drink first as a token of my respect."
Zhang Ding also joined in: "Oh, Master Liu, from now on, Brother Wen Zhong and I will definitely use the strength of our entire family to support you, Master!"
After saying that, he also drank a bottle.
Zhen Yi was not convinced and stood up.
"Brother Shiping, I don't like what you said. Why did you exclude me? My Zhen family has also made great efforts. If Lord Liu needs anything in the future, my Zhen family will definitely do its best to help!"
Zhang Ding was a little drunk, and he couldn't help but teasing Zhen Yi when he looked at him.
"Hehe, my dear brother Bo'an, I'm not trying to exclude you, but you and Lord Liu are just doing business, unlike me and Brother Wenzhong. Lord Liu and I are a real family, so we should share the good and the bad. As for you, you don't need to wade into this muddy water. After all, there are many people eyeing Lord Liu. You'd better keep a low profile and don't bring trouble upon yourself."
Although his words were somewhat boastful, they were indeed meant for Zhen Yi's benefit, and what he said was reasonable.
But when Zhen Yi heard it, that was not what he meant.
"Brother Shiping, aren't you just relying on your relationship with Lord Liu? My Zhen family also has a good girl. At worst, I can marry Lord Liu, so that people won't say that I, Zhen Yi, am a profit-seeking person. I'm determined to wade into this muddy water!"
His words scared Liu He completely out of his drunken state.
Liu He was about to say something when Zhu Ye started yelling first.
"Haha, that's great! When my second and third brothers got married, my fourth brother and I agreed that we would get married together in the future, and it would be best if we could find a pair of sisters, that would be the best thing!"
Zhen Yi's eyes lit up.
"Right, right, right! General Zhu is right! I happen to have two sisters, one is eighteen and the other is seventeen. Marrying them to the two generals is a match made in heaven!"
Zhang Ding joked, "If she's still unmarried at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she must be ugly or have a weird temper. No, no, my two nephews are both heroes of the time. How can ordinary women be good matches for them?"
Zhen Yi was not convinced: "Nonsense! My two sisters, although not beautiful, are dignified and pretty, and well-educated and well-mannered. They should have been betrothed long ago. It's just that my mother and father passed away in the past two years, and there have been many funerals in the family, so it has been delayed until now."
Zhu Ye was even happier now.
"That's great! Fourth brother, come on, we are going to get married too, hehe."
Zhang Yong is not as shameless as him. "Go away, you are really a rude boy, just do whatever you want, why bother involving me."
Guan Yu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, why should you be shy? This is a good thing. You and fifth brother are both 23 years old. You should have started a family long ago. The son of eldest brother is almost two years old, and my child and that of third brother are about to be born. The only ones missing are you two and Xiangzi. It is better to get this done as soon as possible."
Liu He also said: "Yun Chang is right. This year's autumn harvest is very good, and the first battle of the business has achieved remarkable results. If the two brothers can get married, it will be a great blessing!"
Zhen Yi had just spoken in anger, but when he saw the current situation, he was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your help! Zhen is willing to offer a generous dowry and choose an auspicious day to send my two sisters to Yinguan City!"
Zhu Ye suddenly shouted again: "Four happinesses coming together, I can't see enough, not enough, not enough. Five happinesses coming together is the real deal."
Everyone was curious and asked, "What is this fifth joy?"
Zhu Ye chuckled.
"I think Mr. Zhen's two-year-old daughter is a beauty. She is a perfect match for my eldest brother's slave. Why not arrange a marriage for them? Isn't that a perfect marriage?"
"Oh my, how could my Mi'er have such luck? Lord Liu is such a hero, his son must be a rare talent too. How can my little girl be worthy of him?"
Zhen Yi seemed to have lost some of his confidence.
Liu He was somewhat surprised.
Zhen Mi is famous, and all Three Kingdoms fans know her. She first married Yuan Shao's son, and then was taken back to Cao Pi's house as a widow. At the same time, she was secretly loved by Cao Zhi, and later gave birth to Cao Rui, the Emperor Ming of Wei, for Cao Pi.
This woman was both talented and beautiful, and she could definitely be ranked among the top women in the Three Kingdoms period.
If he could really make her his daughter-in-law, not only would she be a good wife for Liu Zheng in the future, but the Zhen family would also be truly and thoroughly tied to his chariot, and at least two or three generations would not be able to untie it.
The Zhen family is not just a family of businessmen. Their power and reputation are not weak among the aristocratic families. If this is true, it will definitely be a great thing for me.
Liu He took a look at Zhen Mi, who was only two years old, and said with emotion: "She is indeed a beauty."
He picked up the wine bottle and walked in front of Zhen Yi.
"If you think highly of me, why don't we just settle it? My wife will bring my son from Langdiao County to Yinguan City for a reunion in a couple of days. I'll let you take a look at me then. If you think highly of me, then we'll settle it."
Once he said this, it was equivalent to the final decision, and this time everyone was completely dumbfounded.
"What? Is this really settled?"
Zhang Ding seemed to be a little jealous. How could he, Zhen Yi, be the latecomer and take the lead? This relative was even more senior than his own.
"Child marriage, why didn't I think of this? Yun Chang and his wife are also unlucky. They got pregnant too late. If they had given birth to a daughter a few months earlier, would the position of the legal wife still be available to others?"
Zhen Yi is the opposite of him.
After hearing what Liu He said, he was stunned for a while, and then he was ecstatic.
He absolutely admired Liu He's character.
Needless to say, Liu He's current strength and status, although it seems that he has offended many people from other forces, which big shot does not encounter some opponents and enemies during the process of growing up?
As long as he makes the right bet this time, and if Liu He can really become successful in the future, the future of the Zhen family will be beyond doubt.
The Zhen family has not been as powerful as before in the past two years, and he urgently needs a strong enough partner, or alliance. Isn't Liu He the one God arranged for him?
Zhen Yi thought of this and without further ado, he picked up the wine jar and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu, for thinking highly of me and my daughter Mi'er. How can I refuse? This marriage is settled!"
