Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

While Shouchun is developing, the navies of Gan Ning and Zhou Yu are not far behind.

After listening to Bai Liming's orders, Gan Ning began to recruit naval members along the Yangtze River.

In just one month, the army has expanded by more than [-].

As for Zhou Yu, he personally visited fishermen along the coast in a boat, asked about the annual climate and wind direction, and drew a wind direction map every time he went to a place.

During this period of time, the proven sea area continued to expand, reaching Jizhou in the north and Kuaiji in the south, and the prerequisites for going to sea were already established.

With such progress, for a while, the entire six counties of Yangzhou and Yuzhou showed a trend of prosperity and vigorous development.

And Bai Liming also waited for Mi Zhu, whom he had been thinking about in the winter of this year.

But when Mi Zhu arrived, he also brought a new guest.

Chapter 202 Seeing Mi Zhen for the first time, using business to lay out the overall situation, Xuzhou is now in chaos

In winter, the weather has gradually become colder.

With the arrival of the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty, the winter in the whole Han Dynasty became colder and colder.

After the first snowfall, the area around the Shouchun Basin is covered in white.

Bai Liming was wearing a gray cloak, holding the stove, and was waiting outside the city with Zhuge Xuan and a group of personal guards.

As a chariot approached on the distant horizon, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the two.

Before the carriages and horses approached, Bai Liming handed the stove to Chen Dao beside him, and said with a loud smile:

"Brother Zizhong, I haven't seen you in half a year, don't come here and be safe!"

After his words sounded, Mi Zhu's delicate and steady face appeared among the carriages and horses.

When he saw the two of them, he was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stopped the carriages and horses, while he walked up quickly and said with a smile:

"How can Zhu Hede get Ruozhong and Ge Gong to go out of the city to meet him in person!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Xuan stroked his beard with a smile and said:

"As the saying goes, having friends come from afar is such a joy!"

"Hearing that Zizhong came, I discussed it with Ruozhong, and then we agreed to go out of the city."

"The weather was cold, and I felt a bit difficult to wait."

"But now that I see Zi Zhong, my heart warms up!"

Bai Liming laughed and said:

"A man of knowledge and talent like Mr. Ge can speak!"

"Like me is different. Mr. Ge said so much, I only have four words, and I am the same!"

As soon as he said this, the two of them burst into laughter again.

Although the friendship between the three of them is separated from Bai Liming's mission, the relationship between them is extremely easy.

After laughing for a while, I saw two young people, one big and one small, coming behind Mi Zhu.

Seeing this, Mi Zhu hurriedly turned around and said to the little boy:

"Wei'er, come and meet Uncle Baili and Mr. Ge."

This kid is his own son, and also his only son, Mi Wei.

He is only ten years old this year, and he is already born with a tiger's head and a tiger's head.

Hearing this, he hastily stepped forward to salute.

Seeing this, Bai Liming and Zhuge Xuan both smiled.

Zhuge Xuan immediately took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it out, and said with a smile:

"I have long heard that Zi Zhong's son is quite like a father, but now it seems that he must be a general!"

"20 This jade is something I have prepared in my spare time, so let me give it to Wei Er as a meeting gift."

Seeing this, Mi Zhu hurriedly said:

"Ge Gong, this is impossible!"

"How can this kid accept Ge Gong's gift!"

"Hey, what a little gift is!"

Zhuge Xuan straightened his face and said:

"My son, don't say goodbye!"

"Hey, since it's Mr. Ge's kindness, Wei'er, why don't you thank Mr. Ge!"

Mi Zhu smiled helplessly and had to accept it.

Although Mi Wei usually wears rich clothes and fine food, but when he saw this thing, he bowed happily and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Ge!"

After Zhuge Xuan took out the meeting gift, Bai Liming waved to Zhou Cang behind him.

Then I saw the tall Zhou Cang walking with a few books.

Bai Liming took the scroll, smiled at Mi Wei and said:

"Uncle doesn't have much wealth, so give these books to Wei Er!"

But as soon as his book came out, Mi Zhu's eyes lit up and said:

"Could this be the Wu Shu that has been circulating around these days?"

He is no better than ordinary people, and he is well-informed, far surpassing others.

When he saw the book, his eyes lit up.

Hearing this, Zhuge Xuan stroked his beard and smiled and said:

"This is something that is in high demand. Ruozhong, your gift is not insignificant!"

"What a gift!"

Baili Ming laughed and said:

"It's just a few books!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter behind Mi Zhu and said:

"I have long heard that Baili-sama is very generous, but now that I see him, he really has extraordinary demeanor!"

Hearing this voice, Bai Liming, unlike Zhuge Xuan, hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that the person who said this was the young man behind Mi Zhu.

I saw him about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a white face and beardless, wearing a blue brocade dress, somewhat similar to Mi Zhu's appearance.

But he is even more handsome, with a heroic face. Although he is not tall, he has a rare good looks.

"Brother Zi Zhong?"

Hearing this, Mi Zhu suddenly showed a wry smile and said:

"Brother Zhen, how can you be rude in front of Ge Gong and Ruo Zhong!"

But as he spoke, the young man grinned with a toothy face and said:

"Brother, don't blame me, it's just that my younger brother is so excited when he sees the two of you!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, bowed his hands to the two of them and said:

"Boy Mi Zhen, I have met the two adults!"

Mi Zhen?

Hearing this, Zhuge Xuan hadn't reacted yet, Bai Liming narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had only heard that Mi Zhu had a younger sister named Mi Zhen.

But I've never heard of a brother named Mi Zhen!

For a moment, he began to look up and down the person in front of him.

Because in this era, women will wear tight underwear, so there is no difference from the outside.

But how could a young man at this age not have an Adam's apple?

With just a slight glance, he was sure of one thing.

This Mi Zhen is a woman disguised as a man!

But Mi Zhu obviously didn't notice Bai Liming's strangeness, so he just stepped forward and explained:

"You two are laughing. This is the younger brother of my family. This time I brought him out to see the world. I didn't expect to be rude!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan didn't feel strange, but nodded and smiled and said:

"If you are a young talent, you have an extraordinary appearance!"

Bai Liming also took advantage of this with a smile and said:

"A handsome man!"

Although he didn't know why Mi Zhu did this, he wasn't going to expose it either.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said:

"Brother Zizhong, it's so cold today, let's go into the city!"

"it is good!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he said to Mi Zhen:

"You take Will down first, and we'll talk about it when we enter the city!"

Then he turned around and said loudly:

"The whole army obeys the order and follows me into the city!"

This time he did not come here on a personal basis, but on official business, and he was also considered an envoy.

Hearing these words, Mi Zhen looked at Bai Liming with her delicate eyes, and then walked towards the team with Mi Wei.

After a while, everyone assembled their team and entered the city.

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan smiled and said:

"Since we have already received Zizhong, let's talk when we have time. I still have some things to deal with here. See you later!"

With that said, he steered his horse away.

The relationship between him and Bai Liming is very special. On the one hand, they are friends who forget the year, and on the other hand, they are superiors and subordinates.

But Bai Liming had arranged various things, and it was close to the end of the year, so things were very complicated.

After Zhuge Xuan left, only Mi Zhu and Bai Liming rode together.

Seeing this, Bai Liming started talking:

"Brother Zizhong is ready to do business this time?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Zhu smiled bitterly and said:

"Originally, I prepared five thousand gold and thought it would be a big deal, but after hearing various news along the way, I feel that Ruozhong's business this time is not small!"

Speaking of him, the Mi family is also a big business, with working capital of around ten thousand to twenty thousand gold.

Hearing Bai Liming talk about doing business before, he thought that five thousand gold would be enough.

But as he listened along the way, he realized that his brother had made a big fuss.

Not to mention the paper books, glass products, ceramic products, refined salt, sugar, and drunken wine, each of which is an excellent commodity.

And he also heard that Bai Liming improved the textile tools and started selling Wu silk in large quantities.

Because of its good quality, there is a tendency for He Shu brocade to compete with each other.

For these things alone, the monthly turnover is probably thousands of gold.

As long as he brought the five thousand gold, it was enough to buy five thousand books.

Therefore, upon hearing Bai Liming's words, Mi Zhu found it hard to speak.
