Chapter 520: Qin Hao’s personal journey

The businessmen in this era seem to be glorious, but their social status has always been in an awkward position, which is less than the top and more than the bottom.

Therefore, almost all businessmen, after having wealth, want to seek transformation and enter the officialdom, but there are very few successful people.

And the most successful one among them is naturally the Qin family in Xianyang.

The Qin family was also a businessman, but after three generations of efforts, they finally transformed into a family of officials.

Now Qin Wen, the head of the Qin family, is already the governor of the Annexed Prefecture of the Jinhou, and Qin Hao is also the champion and future prince consort of the Han Dynasty.

Qin Wen and Qin Hao are now both princes, and there are not many such powers that are comparable to those of aristocratic families. Naturally, no one will mention the past when the Qin family was a merchant.

The Mi family in Xuzhou, which was once listed with the Qin family, and several major commercial families such as the Zhen family in Jizhou, were not as lucky as the Qin family.

Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, exhausted his family property and supported Tao Qian to resist the Yellow Turbans, but he had only obtained a civil servant without real power.

Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family in Jizhou, was even more miserable. Huangfu Song could last for so long in Jizhou. The Zhen family made an indelible contribution, but in the end he had to be a small Wuji County Magistrate, and he could not see any hope of being promoted to the prefect.

These two families are the top business families in the Han Dynasty, but the road to transformation is still so difficult. It can be seen that the family is so cautious about merchants. It is almost a miracle that the Qin family can stand out.

Qin Hao knew the temptation of the officialdom to the businessmen, but after all, the Mi family had such a large family business in Xuzhou. Could it be that they abandoned all industries and joined their families to Nanyang?

"Military advisor, the Mi family has a great career and wants them to give up their ancestral property and join their families? I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?"

The reason why Qu Yuan defected was because of a systematic implantation relationship. Moreover, Qu Yuan could not represent the Mi family, and the head of the Mi family was Mi Zhu.

Liu Ji smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Lord, it is precisely because the Mi family has a great career that it is more likely to be conquered."

"oh?"

Qin Hao was stunned and smiled randomly, "Want to hear about it?"

"Lord, the business of the Mi family in Xuzhou is spread all over the Central Plains, and the Yellow Turban forces are also in the Central Plains. The three years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion were almost fatal to the merchants in the Central Plains, and Xuzhou happened to be surrounded by the Ming forces.

Qin Hao is not stupid either. Liu Ji mentioned it a little and he immediately figured out the key.

"So as long as the Mi family wants to continue to survive, they must leave Xuzhou. Mi Yuan is also a member of the Mi family, and if the Mi family relocates, Nanyang will naturally be the best choice."

Speaking of this, Qin Hao was a little puzzled and asked: "But Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from Nanyang, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is still in the middle. How should the Mi family come here?"

"Did your lord forget it? The battle situation in Yuzhou has come to an end, and in the end there are only two results. First, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu completely defeat Li Mi; second, Li Mi can't withstand the pressure and surrender to the Han Dynasty."

Qin Hao suddenly realized.

"So that's it. As soon as the battle in Yuzhou is over, the Han forces in Xuzhou will border Yuzhou. At that time, not only will the Mi family, but other aristocratic families also move into Guanzhong."

For the aristocratic families, where there are Yellow Turbans is the most dangerous place.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was too sudden, and in a hurry, many aristocratic families failed to escape, so most of them stayed in the local area.

The part that did not escape was mostly destroyed by the Yellow Turbans, while a small number of part gritted their teeth to resist the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

All the people in the aristocratic families know that this is not a solution, and now that there is a chance to escape, they naturally hide as far as they can.

After all, you can still make money after losing your ancestral property, and you will lose nothing when you die.

"Since that's the case, let Mi Yuan join the ranks of recommended prefects to show the importance this marquis attaches to the Mi family." Qin Hao said in a deep voice.

A top business family can help a great deal of help to a force, such as the Qin family.

The reason why Yanmen County was able to develop was entirely supported by the Qin family caravan and a large number of merchants behind it, so it was able to resist the Huns for so long.

After Qin Wen served as the governor of Bingzhou, the business of Yanmen merchants also expanded to the entire Bingzhou. Behind the prosperity of Bingzhou, 70% of them were built on business, which shows the importance of business.

Therefore, Qin Hao, the Mi family, must fight for it, and using a prefect to win over it is enough to show Qin Hao's sincerity.

Qin Wen now controls the five counties, and except for the conferred Qin Jian as the prefect of Yanmen and Fan Zhongyan as the prefect of Wuyuan, the prefect of the other three counties have not been appointed.

Qin Hao naturally knew that his father was left for him, so he was going to stuff his people over to expand his influence in the Jin army. At present, Wen Tianxiang and Qu Yuan, the positions of these two prefects are stable.

"Master, if nothing unexpected happens, the Marquis of Jin will definitely be able to take Hetao this time. Bingzhou will focus on the management of Hetao in the next few years. The lord must also prepare early." Fang Xuanling said.

Hetao has thousands of miles of fertile soil. If you want to manage it well and eventually feed back to the Jin army, you will definitely have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage.

Nanyang is located in the center of the world and is the gathering place for the caravans from all over the world. If Qin Hao can operate well, he can reduce the loss of Hetao by half through business, but the premise is that he must have his own caravan.

Qin Hao nodded seriously and said, "In the near future, my mother will bring the backbone of the former Yanmen caravan to Nanyang. Based on this, we will definitely build the framework of the Nanyang caravan. At that time, it will be of great benefit to Nanyang and Hetao."

"The lord is wise." The counselors praised in unison.

After the meeting, all the strategists left, but Wei Zhuang broke in with a serious look on his face and walked quickly to Qin Hao.

"Lord, big things are not good, and a large-scale prisoner-of-war riot broke out in Sizhou."

"What?"

Qin Hao suddenly stood up and asked, "Didn't Lu Zhi have been surveillance strictly? Why did the riot still occur?"

"It should be someone planning behind the scenes, otherwise it would not be as large as this."

"Damn it, my mother should have arrived in Sizhou."

Qin Hao's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his mentality became a little impatient.

Although Qin Hao has a close relationship with the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty, the key is that these soldiers at the bottom don’t know, but these people at the bottom want to eat him. What if they discover the whereabouts of Qin Hao’s mother?

Qin Hao could not hope that the Yellow Turban prisoners of war would not affect his family, nor could he pray that his mother would not encounter riots, just in case he decided to send troops to support him.

"Then the order Huang Zhong and Xue Rengui to lead the Hu Ben Camp north to pick up the old lady. Forget it, this marquis will also go there in person!"
