It is the New Year in the first lunar month, and every household is out.

In order to greet his brother-in-law Zhao Xing in the first month, Mi Zhu, the richest man from Donghai County, Xuzhou, has not even lived at his home for many years. He went out of the twelfth month and drove many New Year goods from carriages. After nearly a month of bumpy rides, he finally entered Wohu City on the twelfth day of the first month.

Logically, Zhao Xing, the brother-in-law, should have wished his brother-in-law New Year's greetings to his brother-in-law first. But the problem is that, first, Zhao Xing has a lot of brother-in-law, such as Hu Cheer, Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian, a few sons older than Zhao Xing, and Diao Chan's god brothers who stayed in his hometown in Bingzhou... Second, Zhao Xing's identity is really big. Not only is the Grand Tutor of the two kings, but he also manages nearly 200,000 troops, allowing him to go to Xuzhou to pay New Year's greetings at the risk of being intercepted by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Zhao Xing dared to go, and Mi Zhu didn't dare to let him come.

Since my brother-in-law couldn't come, my brother-in-law, who had a request, had to surrender and surrender to the brigade and run far away to Jin State to wish Zhao Xing New Year.

Mi Zhu came to Jin this time and shouldered many important tasks for public and private. First of all, he came to represent the Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian to get close to Zhao Xing. Tao Qian had a good relationship with Zhao Xing for several considerations:

First, 20,000 Qing Xu Army is still stranded in Jin State, and Tao Qian was eager to ask Zhao Xing for his troops back. He also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Qing Xu Volunteer Army passing by Zhao Xing was definitely several times stronger than the local soldiers in Xuzhou. Now Lao Cao in the east of Xuzhou and Yuan Shu in the south were staring at Tao Qian with great enthusiasm, which made his back feel cold, so Tao Qian urgently needed the nearly 10,000 polished Xuzhou soldiers to come back to defend the city for him.

Second, Xuzhou and Jin State have strong complementarity in commerce and trade, making good friends with Zhao Xing to benefit the people. Xuzhou produces a lot of grain and glass crystals, which are all items that Jin State needs to purchase from the outside. Many of the goods produced by Jin State are jealous good things, and the people of Xuzhou naturally like them very much, so the demand for purchase is also huge.

Third, having a good relationship with Zhao Xing can give Tao Qian courage. Qingzhou and Xuzhou are relatively weak forces, sandwiched between Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Yan, Yuan Shu and other forces, they have to look at the faces of these big men everywhere, and they have to be afraid of anyone who will fight to destroy him. If you have a good relationship with Zhao Xing, at least make other forces afraid. When you want to do something, you have to consider Zhao Xing's feelings and opinions.

Secondly, Mi Zhu represented Kong Rong in Qingzhou to make friends with Zhao Xing. The reason why Kong Rong got along well with Zhao Xing was basically the same as Tao Qian. However, because of his refusal to protect Taishi Ci's mother, Kong Rong had already made a connection with Zhao Xing. As a descendant of Kong Saint Kong, what Kong Rong especially loved was the exquisite books produced by Jin State. For this reason, he did not hesitate to open all the gold mines in Qingzhou to Jin State, hoping that Zhao Xing could continuously sell the new books proofreaded by Taihang Academy to Qingzhou.

Finally, Mi Zhu represented the Mi family to discuss business cooperation with Zhao Xing. Because of Mi Zhen’s relationship, the Mi family in Donghai has maintained close trade and trade with Jin over the years, and has also obtained generous profits and returns from this trade route. This time Mi Zhu came in person to jointly invest with Jin and divide the management rights of the peasant, soldier, merchant and financial stores in Qingxu into the Mi family. To be honest, this transaction is really not a small amount. If he had not come to negotiate in person, no one would dare to make a decision with Zhao Xing.

When Mi Zhu came, Zhao Xing naturally could not neglect it. He not only took Mi Zhu from Yingbin Garden to his mansion to live in, but also allowed representatives of all parties in Wohu City to accompany him to have several meals with Mi Zhu. Of course, eating is not the key, the key is to give enough face.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the women and children in Zhaoxing's mansion went to the street to watch the lanterns, Mi Zhu finally sat down and talked with Zhao Xing about the important matters of the trip.

Mi Zhu first said what Tao Qian and Kong Rong had entrusted, and also said the words that should be brought. Then he stopped talking and waited for Zhao Xing's reaction.

Zhao Xing was not impatient and said, "The things mentioned by Tao Kong and the two prefecture governors were not difficult. I originally planned to arrange for Qingxu Army to go downstream and go directly to Qingzhou after the Yellow River flood in the spring. As for other commercial matters, they are also mutually beneficial things, so I will naturally not stop them."

Seeing that Zhao Xing was left to give Qingzhou and Xuzhou no spitting out the matter of raising courage, Mi Zhu asked: "So, the two provincial governors hope to get the support and help of Jin in the future. How does Guochang view it?"

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then said, "No outsiders are present at this time. I would like to ask my brother first. If I want to take over the world in the future, I don't know how the Mi family will deal with it?"

Mi Zhu seemed to have thought about the question raised by Zhao Xing for a long time, and was not surprised, but answered quietly: "The Mi family and the Zhao family have reached this point and have no way out. Naturally, they are in the same spirit and advance and retreat together!"

Zhao Xing was not excited or surprised at Mi Zhu's answer, and nodded and said, "Then I will express my own conditions. If Qingxu and the other states want to get the support of Jin in a crisis, they will naturally have to express their opinions secretly and form an alliance. When I want to conquer the world in the future, the two states will stand firmly behind Jin."

Mi Zhu focused his mind and thought for a moment, then said, "I already know your intentions in this matter. Judging from the current situation, Qingxu and Erzhou have not yet faced a catastrophe. I believe Kong Rong and Tao Qian will not spit easily. It seems that this matter needs to be discussed for a long time."

"This matter is not in a hurry. I will not start the war easily in recent years. Jin State will develop internal affairs with peace of mind. Only after the newly acquired Youzhou and Liang State are completely digested and stabilized, will the next move be taken." Zhao Xing was not in a hurry and said slowly.

Hearing Zhao Xing personally admitting that Youzhou and Liang Kingdom had fallen into his hands, Mi Zhu couldn't help but look in his face and said with emotion: "Although he secretly speculated that Youzhou and Liang Kingdom would have the figure of Jin Kingdom, he didn't expect that he would have completely controlled it. Guochang's skillful and sharp behavior is very impressed by his brother!"

Zhao Xing smiled distractedly and said, "There is no one at this time, so my brother-in-law doesn't have to apply makeup on my face. If you fight for the world, no one can achieve this without great perseverance and wisdom! Xing is not talented, and I am willing to find a new way out for the people of the world. I will need to use the support of the Mi family in the future!"

"But if you have something to ask for, I will definitely help you!" Mi Zhu promised with a serious expression.

"By the way, I brought a few people to this trip. I wonder if Guochang is interested in meeting him?" Mi Zhu remembered several other things and said again.

"I wonder what kind of person he is?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

Mi Zhu then introduced to Zhao Xing one by one: "One of them, named Liu Yao, with the courtesy name Zhengli, was from Muping, Donglai (now Mouping, Shandong). He was first promoted to a filial and honest man, and was appointed as a doctor. He was appointed as the chief of the lower town. He abandoned his official position because he refused to request the request. Later, he was appointed as a Sikong clerk and was appointed as the censor. He was not allowed to settle the chaos and lived in Huaipu."

"One of them, whose name is Wang Lang, whose real name is Wang Yan, whose courtesy name is Jingxing, was from Tan, Donghai (now northwest of Tancheng, Shandong)."

"One of them, named Sun Shao, was formerly the prefect of Beihai Kong Rong, who was praised by Kong Rong as a talent who could serve as an important position in the court. He was personally recommended by the hostess of Kong Zhou to come to Jin State as an official."

Zhao Xing nodded, saying that he had known the names of the three people, and then said, "Wang Lang is famous for a long time. I have heard of it before, but Liu Yao and Sun Shao are very good at hearing."

After hearing this, Mi Zhu stopped seeing her and said with a smile: "If I tell you, then Liu Yao is the younger brother of Liu Dai, the prime minister of Jin, and I wonder what Guochang feels?"

Zhao Xing couldn't help but scratch his forehead and said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, Liu Dai is hiding this. I haven't told me until now that he has a talented younger brother!"

Mi Zhu said, "Liu Yao, like Liu Dai, is a distant relative of the royal family of the Han Dynasty (a descendant of Liu Jun, the Marquis of Mouping, the grandson of Liu Fei, the grandson of King Daohui of Qi). When he was nineteen years old, his cousin Liu Wei was taken hostage by bandits. In order to save his uncle, Liu Yao gathered more than ten people into the thief's nest. He took advantage of the scoop to behead the bandit leader and rescued his cousin. He became famous since then. Because his performance was loved by villagers, he recommended Liu Yao to be an official in the court and once served as a doctor."

"After becoming an official, Liu Yao was selfless, honest and humble, and was highly praised by his colleagues and the people. At that time, rumors in the Muping area of ​​Donglai that if they could get Liu Dai and Liu Yao, they would be like getting dragons and qilins at the same time. Now I have brought qilins to you, so you must express your gratitude this time!" Mi Zhu explained with a smile.

Zhao Xing thought about it and found that the three people recommended by Kong Rong and Tao Qian were really talented and knowledgeable, so he couldn't help but feel happy. Recently, he was worried about the lack of available people in the six prefects who were transferred from Jin State. Unexpectedly, someone sent three "big pillows"!

Zhao Xing then quickly sent someone to Yingbinyuan to welcome Wang Lang, Liu Yao and Sun Shao to meet in the mansion.

This time, these three people came to Jin State with Mi Zhu, so it was not as simple as coming to join in the fun. They were both proud of their talents who could govern the country and ensure national security, but they had no room to display. I heard that Zhao Xingwei of Jin State was a talent, and with the strong recommendation of Kong Rong and Tao Qian, they went north to Jin State and wanted to find a good way out.

After Zhao Xing met with several people, after a detailed conversation, he found that these three people were indeed useful, so he immediately expressed his intention to recruit the three people and agreed to the positions of Taiyuan County, Xihe County and Shangjun Prefecture. As a result, Liu Yao was willing to go to Xihe County, while Wang Lang was willing to go to Taiyuan County, and Sun Shao was willing to go to Shangjun. Zhao Xing naturally promised one by one, encouraging the three people to work with peace of mind, and their families could come to Jin to live in peace.

After settling down the positions of the three, Zhao Xing asked the former prefect of Shangjun, the military field commander, and the director of the Wohu Agricultural Science Academy to the mansion. The two had a long talk and decided on the agricultural and animal husbandry development plan for the three prefectures of You and Liang this year.

Zhao Xing asked Zao Zhi if he was busy with work and if he wanted to do it a few more times. As a result, Zao Zhi was not polite to him, saying that he only needed the position of President of the Wohu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and that the big hat of the military field commander would be left to others to do.

After hearing Zao Zhi's words, Zhao Xing thought about it and found that there were two people who were suitable for the important position of military field commander. In history, there seemed to be two more famous people, one was Guoyuan, which he had already dug up, and the other was a guy named Han Hao.
