Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Mi Zhu really didn't know what expression to make at this time.

Seeing that Mi Zhu was stunned, Li Yi didn't feel surprised at all. When he came across such information suddenly, he would be stunned. Moreover, Li Yi has great confidence in Mi Zhu, so Li Yi is not in a hurry to let Mi Zhu Expressed his position, and continued to say unhurriedly: "Although I am only a prefect of a county now, I am fortunate to have the help of many sages, such as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, etc. Although these people's fame is not as famous as many sages comparison, but the skills are not necessarily worse than those of the sages."

"Brother Zizhong should know that Liu Biao and I have a lot of quarrels, and sooner or later we will fight. To put it bluntly, although I only have one county, Liu Biao is not my opponent when it comes to fighting. Those few people already have a heart for me, so Jingzhou is already in my pocket!"

"As for Yuan Shu, although he had long wanted to rebel, I was the one who promoted the act of rebellion. As long as Yuan Shu raises the flag, it will not only disgust the world, but also attract countless ambitious people to follow suit. I want to be the minister who cleans up the world for the emperor, kill thieves, gain fame, occupy land, and gain profits, as long as the world is stable, no one will be able to compete with me, not even the emperor!"

Having said that, Li Yi put down Yuxi, looked at Mi Zhu, and asked slowly: "I am not short of soldiers, advisers, or money, but my foundation is shallow and the news is not smooth, and the Mi family is a merchant. , but travels the world, is well-informed, and can make up for my shortcomings, so Yi Ken asks Brother Zizhong to help me, and when I achieve great things in the future, I will not be held responsible!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he bowed to Mi Zhu with a very solemn attitude. This was not pretended by Li Yi. With the talents Li Yi has gathered now, ordinary people might be envious of him, but there is no need to be too flattered, but Mi Zhu But it was an exception. The news of the Mi family's business route was really important to Li Yi.

"Not allowed, Xianghou, not allowed."

Mi Zhu has recovered from the previous shock, watching Li Yi beg him, and thinking about Li Yi's ambition, he really dare not accept this great gift.

Li Yi stood up, looked at Mi Zhu with a smile on his face and asked, "Brother Zizhong, did you agree?"

Mi Zhu smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Xiang is just a businessman. He is just a businessman. He would not even dare to think about it. Suddenly, Marquis Xiang puts high hopes on him. He is really terrified."

Li Yi laughed. He knew that Mi Zhu was telling the truth. The status of a businessman is low these days. It is normal for Mi Zhu to be knocked out by Li Yi's words.

Li Yi took Mi Zhu's arm, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "Brother Zizhong, I know that this matter is risky, and if it fails, it is likely that you will die, so you hesitate in your heart. However, Zizhong Brother, it may have happened before, can't you live a peaceful life without my invitation today?"

Mi Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Li Yi with a pale face, and said bitterly, "Mr. Xiang wants this."

Before Mi Zhu finished speaking, Li Yi patted the back of his hand hard, and then said very speechlessly: "Oh, what are you thinking, since I married Lingmei, brother Zizhong is already my elder brother , even if brother Zizhong is contrary to my ideas, I will only keep brother Zizhong for a month or two at most. When things in Jingzhou settle down, I will naturally make amends and send brother Zizhong away. I will definitely not do that unjust thing. "

Seeing that Li Yi's expression and tone didn't seem fake when he spoke, Mi Zhu was relieved. He was a little panicked just now, and thought that Li Yi was going to threaten him with his life, and if he didn't agree, he would kill him. I thought, since Li Yi's plan is so big, it is naturally impossible to do that stupid short-sighted thing.

Mi Zhu cupped his hands in embarrassment and said, "Zhu is ashamed."

Li Yi chuckled. He really didn't have any evil thoughts towards Mi Zhu. If Mi Zhu refused, he would just leave Mi Zhu behind and "accidentally" stain Mi Zhu's hands with blood, or find someone else Contaminate him for a reason, in short, it is the kind of routine of "pushing to the top of the mountain", and it is impossible for Mi Zhu not to work with him.

Li Yi smiled, and didn't plan to talk too much on this topic, after all, talking too much would hurt feelings.

Following what he said before, Li Yi continued: "Since the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo has caused chaos in the world. Although Dong Zhuo is dead now, the world is becoming more and more restless."

"Hebei Yuan Shao Gongsun Zan, the two fought and fought. No matter the outcome, Hebei will be a piece of scorched earth, and the people will have no peace."

"Chang'an and Luoyang are chaotic. Let's not talk about it. Just look at the Central Plains. Cao Cao won Yanzhou, and the blood of the soldiers is not yet dry. It's a chaotic world. How can Cao Cao stop? I expected that this year Cao Cao will definitely use an excuse to send troops abroad. The target is either Yuan Shu who has raised troops, or Tao Qian from Xuzhou."

"As for the land in the south, Yangzhou has Yuan Shu, needless to say, and Jingzhou"

Li Yi smiled and said: "With me here, Jingzhou will not be peaceful, and of course, there will be no chaos, so"

Li Yihu raised his voice and said: "The chaos in the world is becoming more and more obvious. In the next three to five years, the states and counties in the world will inevitably be divided up by heroes from all directions. The one and only hero."

"There is a saying that there are no eggs under the cover of a nest. Brother Zi Zhong naturally understands this truth. In addition, Mi's family is a family of merchants, and Xuzhou is still in charge of Tao Qian. It is not a big problem. However, given the current chaos in the world, Even if one doesn't care about Tao Qian's personal ability, but only his age, he is destined not to survive in this battle. Therefore, it is a matter of time before Xuzhou changes hands. By then, with the wealth of the Mi family, will they be able to escape the covetousness of the new owner? "

Mi Zhu shook his head sullenly, saying that money touches people's hearts. In fact, the businessman knows this best.

In the past, Mi Zhu devoted himself to pursuing an official career in Xuzhou. One of the reasons was that he felt that the Mi family would continue to do business and their wealth would increase. He might not be able to escape the disaster of extinction in the future, so he wanted to use money to pave the way and need an official to rely on. Mi Zhu thought that This plan of his own is considered long-term, but only after listening to Li Yi's words did he realize that what he thought was still too simple.

At this time, Mi Zhu's heart was already quite shaken, but Li Yi continued to say: "Forgive me, although the Mi family is rich, it is only a family of merchants. The world is so contemptuous. Brother Zizhong, please ask yourself, if the Mi family is full of money Be it the Yuan family, Liu Biao, or Cao Cao, even if they can be regarded as close for a while, but after a long time, the Mi family has no money to use to worship, and then the Mi family will have a few more days. Scenery?"

Mi Zhu shook his head with a wry smile. In front of those powerful families, his Mi family probably has nothing but money.

Li Yi looked at Mi Zhu's expression and smiled with satisfaction. He knew that Mi Zhu would definitely agree to throw out an olive branch again at this time, but in order for Mi Zhu to follow him sincerely, he made a lot of preparations, so

Facing Mi Zhu, who was a little depressed, Li Yi spread his hands to better show himself in front of Mi Zhu, and asked, "Brother Zizhong, do you know how Yi's background is?"

Mi Zhu nodded lightly and said: "The Marquis Xiang was only white before, but now he is the prefect of one side. His achievements are admirable."

"hehe"

Li Yi said with a smile: "About [-]% of the officials with more than a thousand stones in the world will despise the Mi family because of their status as merchants, but Yi will not!"

"I was born in the market and grew up in the market. On weekdays, I think about firewood, rice, oil, salt, and worry about food and clothing. I am not one of those noble sons who don't know fireworks. I know that merchants are important to the people. If great things happen in the future, don't say suppress merchants. I also want to support businesses in various places, and use the way of merchants to make the people of the world rich, and let the people no longer be trapped in a square inch. Therefore, I will not despise Brother Zizhong in the slightest. Now Brother Zizhong is helping me to collect news from all over the world In the future, Brother Zi Zhong will plan the overall situation for me, so that the business affairs will be beneficial to the people!"

"Brother Zizhong, Yi is sincerely inviting you today, and I hope that brother Zizhong can help me achieve great things!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he bent down and bowed again.

Unlike the last time when Mi Zhu was a little nervous to help Li Yi up, this time Mi Zhu was obviously agitated, his chest heaved non-stop, and he took several deep breaths before stepping forward to help Li Yi up, and then Li Yi bowed down, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhu is just a merchant. He can't write a pen, and Wu can't go to battle to kill the enemy. He is always ashamed of himself, but today he is favored by the Marquis Xiang. I invite you again and again. A man of Taoism will die for his confidant. , Xianghou is like this, can Zhu not repay him with death?"

Saying that, Mi Zhu got up, and then bowed again, saying: "Mi Zhu, I have seen the Lord!"

"Haha, please hurry up, with the help of brother Zizhong, great things can be accomplished!"

Although he had expected the result, when Mi Zhu really called him lord, Li Yi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, not to mention the role that the Mi family can play in intelligence. Starting with Xuzhou can save a lot of effort.

Seeing Li Yi's joy beyond words, Mi Zhu was also moved in his heart, because Li Yi valued him much more than he thought, and Mi Zhu really felt a little ashamed.

At the beginning of Li Yi's persuasion, Mi Zhu was very depressed when he heard that Li Yi was going to engage in rebellious business. After all, he was a businessman and really didn't want to participate in these things. Yi makes sense.

The world is getting more and more chaotic. If the Mi family wants to be safe, they must find a good backer. However, the backer is not so easy to choose, and the Mi family is very rich. After the things that should be done can't be scraped off, the Mi family probably won't need to exist.

However, Li Yi is different. Li Yi's background is doomed that Li Yi does not have too much prejudice against Mi Zhu, which makes Mi Zhu feel at ease. Moreover, Li Yi has said so much, but never mentioned it from the beginning to the end, and let Mi Zhu take it for him. How much money will be paid, which makes Mi Zhu very relieved.

It's not that Mi Zhu is stingy, in fact, Mi Zhu has vaguely made a decision in his heart, if Li Yi has a lot to do, why not give Li Yi all the yellow and white things of the Mi family?

If those vulgar things can be exchanged for a founding hero, it will definitely be the most profitable business in the history of the Mi family!

And what prompted Mi Zhu to make this decision was Li Yi's performance of not being greedy for money. He came from an ordinary family, but he didn't have the greed of ordinary people. He was close to Mi's family, and most of them were just business information from Mi's family. People are worthy of his Mi family's all-out pursuit.

Mi Zhu got up slowly, and said solemnly: "Zhu Bucai, he is still the head of the Mi family. As long as the lord needs it, all the resources of the Mi family will be allocated by the lord!"

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he knew that Mi Zhu meant to support him financially. However, Li Yi admired Mi Zhu's attitude even more. He was not in a hurry for the money itself, because Li Yi felt that if Mi Zhu came , he squandered the money of the Mi family. Now that everyone in the world knows about his relationship with the Mi family, Tao Qian must be vigilant, which will add many twists and turns instead.

After confirming this idea, Li Yi shook his head and said: "Zi Zhong is being polite. Now only the Mi family's business route is borrowed from the Mi family. You must know that whether the news is timely or not can often determine the success or failure of the war. What I said before is not a lie. The information is a matter of fact. It is indeed the most important thing!"

Mi Zhu nodded his head to write it down, and Li Yi said again: "The details are quite complicated, you can talk to Guo Jia in detail later, don't look at Guo Jia who is young, but is a rare resourceful person in the world today. , must not be weaker than a character like Liuhou!"

"Here, Zhu has made a note. I wonder if the Mi family has anything else that can serve the lord besides this?"

"Well"

Li Yi pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "There is one more matter, which is of great importance, but I am afraid that Brother Zizhong will be wronged a little bit."

Although Mi Zhu was puzzled, he said straightforwardly, "Your Majesty, just tell me!"

Li Yi said: "Brother Zizhong knows that I have revenge in my heart. What I want is not one state or one place, but the world. Now Jingzhou is already available. Yangzhou Yuan Shu is just guarding the land for me, and then Yuzhou. There is no clue about Xuzhou and Yuzhou, but Xuzhou has already been planned by me, and I just need Brother Zizhong to help."

Mi Zhu regained his composure now, and his brain turned faster. He immediately guessed what Li Yi meant, and said in surprise, "Master, do you want me to cooperate with each other?"

Li Yi smiled first, then shook his head and said, "Yes, and no."
