"Master, there is a person outside the door who wants to see the master."

The servant respectfully asked for instructions. The man in front of him flipped through the account books and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Is it Chen Deng?"

"It's not Captain Chen, but a stranger with a strange face. He claims to be from Jiangdong and came here specifically to visit the master."

"Oh?" At this moment, the head of the family became interested: "Bring him to the front of the hall."

"promise"

After walking around for a while, Wen Du followed the servant's instructions and arrived at the meeting place. The head of the house was already sitting in the master's seat and had been waiting for a long time.

"I'm going to hear the ferry and say goodbye to Mi Zhumi."

"Thank you, please take a seat."

"Thank you very much"

Following Mi Zhu's gesture, Wen Du's butt had just touched the short stool. The next second, a maid came in and served the two of them tea with a fragrant aroma.

Seeing Wen Du blowing the cool air in big mouths, Mi Zhu didn't show much disgust even though he lacked elegance. He just asked lightly, "I wonder if my tea leaves are in line with the guest's wishes?"

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

The word "delicious" came out of my mouth, simple and unpretentious.

"No more? Is that all you think?"

Mi Zhu seemed a little unacceptable, but Wen Du would not comply with his wishes, so he explained helplessly: "I am not from a wealthy family, and I don't want to live in a wealthy family. I only drink tea to quench my thirst. I really can't taste it."

Mysterious, please forgive me."

Seemingly "touched" by Wen Du's sincere words, Mi Zhu smiled elegantly, looked at him and said, "I think that compared to the past, everyone who visits Deng Mansion, whether they are literati or businessmen, will have a better evaluation.

, even if you don’t understand tea at all, you can still make up two or three good words and tell them to me. What I did today is an eye-opener for me.”

"You're welcome, I have no other good qualities, I'm just honest." When faced with compliments, Wen Du would not be as hypocritical as others, so he would just accept them all.

"Then, this honest little friend, can you tell me where you are from in Jiangdong?"

"The Sun family in Jiangdong, I am the backbone general under the hussar general Sun Jian."

"Huh? Sun, what do the people from Wentai want to do with me?"

"Coming to the world's leading wealthy businessman is naturally related to money. I want to make an investment with you."

After words such as money and investment flew into his ears, the businessman's sensitive sense of smell began to turn. Mi Zhu straightened his serious face, stared at Wen Du and asked: "I heard that Sun Jian has captured Yangzhou?"

"Exactly, Yangzhou was attacked by Shanyue, Yellow Turbans, Pirates and other extremely vicious people. All the six counties were hit to varying degrees. The governor Chen Wen died, and the people were miserable. In order to protect the lives of the people, our lord, therefore,

By sending troops to suppress the thieves, we can avoid the terrible consequences of ruining lives."

"Then you openly occupied Yangzhou, right?" Regardless of Wen Du's bragging, Mi Zhu directly made Sun Jian's true intentions clear: "Do these Yellow Turbans, pirates, etc. really exist?

?Or did you deliberately make it up?"

Following the questioning, his eyes became sharper, but Wen Du did not graduate from Xiamen University, so he stared back without fear: "Since you know the situation in Yangzhou, you must also know about Yuzhou, then Yuan Shu

They can all station themselves in Yuzhou on the pretext of suppressing bandits, so why can’t our army do the same? My lord, it’s a done deal now. Does it really matter whether what I said is true or false?”

As if he was choked by this question, Mi Zhu did not answer, but took three sips of tea in a row.

"Is Sun Jian now a minister or a thief?"

"Looking at the general trend of the world, if Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others are ministers, my lord will be his ministers. If they turn against the lord and become thieves, then my lord will definitely be the last thief to show his fox tail." This is so arrogant and true, without any pretense.

The ingredients are in.

"Based on your words alone, I can admonish Duke Tao and have you executed for treason. Aren't you afraid?"

Mi Zhu's words were full of temptations and warnings. In response, Wen Du raised the corners of his lips and responded with a chuckle: "First of all, if you don't understand what my level is, how can you be so sure that you can catch me?

?" As he spoke, Wen Du picked up the wine glass with his left hand and gently dropped his right hand, breaking the small long table in front of him into two pieces. Mi Zhu was so frightened that he was shocked and stood there in a daze with an expression of disbelief.

Look at him.

"Secondly, can it be said that this great man is still loyal and good? Will he swear to co-exist with the dynasty?"

"No, I'm just a businessman. What I want most is peace in the world and preservation of my family business. As for other things, I can wait for a while."

After grabbing the key information, Wen Du asked with a devilish smile: "According to your words, you won't refuse if someone else becomes the emperor, right?"

"You said this yourself, but I didn't hear anything." Mi Zhu quickly waved her hands and quickly expressed that she had suddenly become deaf.

"I know that Biejia is a diligent, down-to-earth, upright and upright person without any evil intentions." Wen Du followed his words and did not argue at all: "But I still hope that Biejia can answer, can you

Are you willing to make an investment with me?"

"Tell me first, what to invest in?"

"For me it is industry, for you it is status and future"

Just one sentence caught Mi Zhu's appetite: "Tell me more about it."

"My Lord has moved to Yangzhou and will use this place as his base. However, the current situation is many and the local population of Yangzhou is not large. Therefore, I plan to recruit refugees from other places. The existing food surplus is enough to feed two million refugees for a year.

But the problem is that there is no money. Livestock, farm tools, iron ore, houses, etc. all need money, so I came to see Mr. Biejia, hoping that you can contribute money to help us."

"This is your benefit, where is my future?"

"Sir, do you know the shortcomings of businessmen?"

"First, the fourth level of scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants is the lowest and has no political status at all. It is for this reason that I accepted Tao Gongxiang's invitation to become an official."

"But this is a rule set by our predecessors. It doesn't count here. In my eyes, the four levels of equality are scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Farmers can do business, and businessmen can be officials. Do it openly!"

Mi Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up and he caught the last sentence: "Is this what Sun Jian approves of? Can businessmen also climb up?"

"Of course, it's just that we haven't compiled the corresponding laws yet. Because we have no money, we are still stuck on the most basic construction and have no time to find talents to formulate laws..." Wen Du also has a headache about this matter. After all,

He himself was a pure legal illiterate, so he couldn't just write randomly regardless of the impact, right? "How much do you want me to invest?" Regardless of Wen Du's psychological activities, Mi Zhu finally relented.

"all!"

"Ah?" Mi Zhu was stunned, thinking she heard wrongly.

"I said all, I want all of every piece!"

He took out Oboi's classic gesture and spoke his request wantonly, causing Mi Zhu to jump up from the stool, frowning and staring at Wen Du seriously. "Don't you think this request is too much?

What you say will cost me my life and fortune. If I fail, my Mi family will be doomed! Can you take on this responsibility?!"

"That's fine as long as you don't fail. Do you not believe that I have this ability, or do you not believe that you have this strategic vision?"

His stern questioning did not frighten the other party at all. Mi Zhu was a little dumbfounded, because in the past, those who came for speculation could be fooled by him yelling like this. Why did they not retreat but advance in front of this young man with no beard?

Woolen cloth?

"Why should I choose Sun Jian? There are many people who are better than him in the world. For example, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao you mentioned just now are all from aristocratic families. Sun Jian cannot reach their starting line."

"Stupid fallacy!" Hearing the rhetoric of the aristocratic family again, Wen Du's good mood was shattered. Regardless of Mi Zhu's shock, he stood up and declared loudly: "Then the great ancestor Liu Bang was from a noble family? Wasn't he the same?

Starting from the head of the pavilion, working your way up step by step, to the throne? Whether the origin of a noble family determines the beginning, not the outcome. Isn't Gao Zu the best proof? Do you dare to assert that our lord Sun Jian will definitely be defeated at the hands of a noble family?

Do you dare to say that if you follow us, you will definitely suffer a loss? "

A set of ruthless phantom attacks left Mi Zhu speechless and without any explanation, Wen Du quickly walked up to him, frightening him so much that he sat back on the low stool.

"One more thing, of course you can choose Yuan Shao and the others, but what is their situation? Yuan Shao has the rich Jizhou, Yuan Shu has the prosperous Yuzhou, Cao Cao himself does not have much money, but they have Wei Zi who spends all his wealth to help him raise an army

, which allowed him to have the strength he has today. Their most difficult moment has passed. You joining me now is just the icing on the cake. It is nothing more than a thank you and a random official position for you, and there will be no follow-up.

Of course, you should stay away from Xuzhou now. If you don’t want to borrow money, then I will leave. But, you are in a situation of internal and external troubles now. If you are not careful, your family property will be taken away."

Having said this, Wen Du stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the door until his left foot crossed the threshold. Mi Zhu called him from behind. "Can you tell me about the internal and external troubles you mentioned?"

"First, there are two factions within you. The Mi family represented by you, the Chen family represented by Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, the Xuzhou local faction composed of the Zhao family represented by Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, and the Tao family from Danyang.

For the out-of-town faction brought here by Qian, your relationship is more like a cooperative relationship than a master-servant relationship. For the benefit of your own faction, you both cooperate and restrain each other. On the surface, you are harmonious and peaceful. In private, it is probably you and me who are always fighting over each other.

There is an undercurrent surging. You are afraid that Tao Qian will use external forces to control Xuzhou, but he has powerful Danyang soldiers in his hands, which can just suppress local snakes like you. Only in this way can there be a relatively balanced situation. If you dare to ask, I said so.

Right?"

"Yes...you made the situation in Xuzhou very clear." Although Mi Zhu didn't want to admit it, the internal structure of Xuzhou was indeed seen through by the outsider in front of him...
