The next day, Zhuge Xuan began to ask the people in his family to pack up their things and start selling out the land and houses of the clan.

The north is unstable, the situation is uncertain, and the war is in chaos. Since you want to leave, you should just leave more thoroughly. You simply sell the family's foundation without leaving any thoughts, so that your family can completely leave this place.

After learning about Zhuge Xuan's actions, Tao Shang was extremely happy. He said goodbye to Zhuge Xuan first and returned to Tancheng.

The three-month mourning period was about to end in a blink of an eye, and the Tao merchant also said goodbye to Tao Ying and was preparing to return to Jingzhou.

At the same time, from Luoyang, the emperor's envoy also arrived in Xuzhou. He brought Liu Xie's imperial edict, and Tao Ying was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou.

At this moment, Tao Ying was overjoyed and could make a sound when sleeping.

My brother is gone, and Xuzhou Mu belongs to him. From now on, he will become Mu Shou who stirs up the side and has tens of thousands of troops. How happy!

He really didn't know that the glory and status on the surface were actually empty. At this moment, he and his Xuzhou were facing a huge crisis. Once this crisis was not handled properly, it would be the end of losing ground.

Just a few days before the pottery merchant left, a powerful and wealthy family from Xuzhou came to practice it personally and gave him a generous gift, including 20 million yuan and hundreds of young servants accompanying him, as well as fifty pack horses and brocade clothes.

Looking at the entire Xuzhou, although there are countless landlords and powerful people, there is no other person who can have such a big deal except the Mi family in Donghai.

The Mi family has accumulated over the years in Xuzhou. Not only has countless land, but it also uses Xuzhou as its basis to monopolize most of the southeastern Han area. Their family has involved a lot of industries, from the northern horses to the southern fruits, from the paper industry in Qingzhou to the population and slave reselling, whether it is black or white, or light or dark, the Mi family does it.

The pottery did not dare to accept such a heavy gift and insisted on shirking it, but Mi Zhu, the family's father, insisted on letting the pottery keep the gift.

Compared to his status as a powerful man, Mi Zhu seems to be more inclined to be a businessman.

When a businessman wants to give gifts, he usually won’t be able to give them.

After some politeness to each other, Mi Zhu relied on his natural excellent emotional intelligence and the skill of doing business the day after tomorrow to make the pottery merchant accept this gift.

Tao Shang couldn't resist the shameless Mi Zhu and accepted the gift, but felt very embarrassed. He said gratefully: "Yan Jun is in a new mourning. My brother needs to take on the responsibility of governor of a state at a young age. He depends on the help of Mi Jun and other great wise men to stabilize Xuzhou. Now he still has to receive Mi Jun's generous gifts. Tao is really ashamed in his heart."

Mi Zhu is indeed a great businessman in the East and is very sleek.

He stepped forward and held Tao Shang's hand, saying, "Mi followed Tao Gong for six years and was very kind to the Lord and the Lord, and could not repay him. Now Tao Gong appreciated him. Mi Zhu was entrusted by Tao Gong's death to assist the second son to take office... It was just a pain for the eldest son to stay away from his relatives and go south to the wild land. He really couldn't bear it, so he prepared some gifts, hoping that the eldest son would use these goods to buy some industries after he arrived in Nanzhong, so that he could avoid suffering. In this way, Mi Zhu felt a little comforted."

Tao Shang was a humble gentleman who was not good at conspiracy and tricks. Mi Zhu's words were touching and touching, which made him very moved.

"Mr. Zizhong is so kind, Tao is grateful to me and will never forget each other."

Mi Zhu shook his head and sighed, "This Xuzhou foundation should have been inherited by the eldest son... But, alas, it's a pity."

The Taoist merchant waved his hand and broke: "Mr. Mi must not say this. If my second brother knows it, it may be inconvenient for the teacher... Besides, the pastor of this state is an important position in the court, and it is not the furniture of my Tao family. How could I have to sit if I want to sit?"

Mi Zhu stroked his beard and nodded, "Young Master is such a kind and righteous person. He deserves to be the son of Mr. Tao. It is really admirable."

After saying that, Mi Zhu took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and handed it to the pottery merchant, saying, "Mi Zhu has something to ask for, but it is not convenient to explain it in person. He can only write all the things he wants to entrust to the young master in this letter. He also asks the young master to be able to read it in his spare time. If he can help, the young master will be the great benefactor of my Mi family. My Mi family has more than 120 people, and he will never forget the great kindness of his son."

The Tao merchant reached out to take the letter and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zizhong, Tao will definitely see it when he looks back. As long as it is something that can help, the Tao merchant will never refuse."

"Thank you, my son."

After chatting for a few more words, Mi Zhu said goodbye and left.

And his younger brother Mi Fang has been waiting for his brother not far away.

The two brothers got on the chariot together and headed towards their own mansion.

On the way, Mi Fang asked Mi Zhu a little uneasy: "Brother, will the Tao Merchants help us contact Liu Qi?"

Mi Zhu said confidently: "Tao Shang is a sincere gentleman who knows etiquette and values ​​righteousness. We should be with him with generous gifts and sincere friends with his son. He feels guilty and will definitely help us."

Mi Fang rubbed her hands and said nervously: "Brother, there are so many things in our Xuzhou right now, but you still have to contact Liu Boyu. What should we do if the envoy Tao knows the blame?"

"Envoy Tao?" Mi Zhu chuckled and shook his head, "It's just a kid. Don't think he's been the governor of Xuzhou, but it's hard to say how long he can be the governor of Xuzhou."

Mi Fang said nervously: "Now Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan... or Sun Jian from Yangzhou have all set their sights on Xuzhou. Once the Tao falls, if these tigers and wolves take over Xuzhou, what will the future of our Mi family change? I am really nervous."

Mi Zhu said lightly: "Don't be afraid, and don't be nervous. No matter whether it is Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao, whoever becomes the lord of Xuzhou will be the lord of Xuzhou, as long as our Mi family is useful to them, they can be invincible in Xuzhou."

Mi Fang sighed: "What my brother said is useful...it is just to provide money, grain, and wealth to the various princes and patriarchs?"

"What else do you want?" Mi Zhu snorted coldly: "The world is now chaotic, and the pastors and guards of various families are fighting each other. Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, you see, it has only been five years, but the number of wars in the states in the world is much more than the entire Han Dynasty in the past twenty or thirty years. And as I expected, it will still be like this within at least ten years... Why did you contact Liu Boyu? Because he has white porcelain, pottery, fragrant tea, Shu brocade, and food and fodder...

I admire him, I admire him for being able to make so many things that can make a lot of money in just a few years. But these things from him have not been popularized to the southeast as far as my brother knows. This is a good opportunity. As long as we take this line, with the channels accumulated by our Mi family over the years, our status in Xuzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai. In the future, no matter who comes to Xuzhou, if we get the support of our Mi family, we can get food to support our soldiers and sweep across the southeast. This is the greatest guarantee for our Mi family!"

Mi Fang nodded as if he had some understanding: "Brother, among these many Muslims, do you have any optimistic candidates?"

Mi Zhu said confidently: "Tao Ying boy has no appearance, and his mind has no mind. The person he is optimistic about by his brother is Cao Cao, the general of the cavalry."
