Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1536: Sun Gan meets Mi Zhu

Although the princes control the rice grain, they cannot control the aristocratic families under their rule. In order to obtain more benefits, the aristocratic family will secretly order merchants to escort the rice grain for business, even if they know that this will increase Lu Bu's strength.

The aristocratic family controls too many fields, and they also have a lot of rice.

Seeing Mi Zhu and Sun Qian entering the chamber of commerce together, many businessmen cast curious glances. Sun Qian, the envoy from Yizhou, was naturally known to many businessmen. Regardless of Liu Bei's strength, the envoy from Yizhou, In the eyes of the merchants, he was still superior. What surprised them most was that Mi Zhu went to greet him in person.

As long as the heads of chambers of commerce in various states are no lower than the prefect of a county in terms of status, they are already a very important figure among the officials of a state. Mi Zhu's identity and status is the highest among the officials in charge of merchants. , the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the affairs of chambers of commerce in other states, and Mi Zhu's sister is the wife of King Jin.

This made many businessmen and officials look at Sun Qian very differently.

However, Sun Qian was secretly vigilant. Based on his understanding of Mi Zhu, this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed. However, seeing the admiring looks of officials and businessmen in the chamber of commerce, Sun Qian was greatly encouraged. Satisfied, he couldn't help but think of the Jiangdong envoy's experience in the Chamber of Commerce. After Mi Zhu came out to welcome him, the Yizhou envoy's status would definitely be further improved in the city.

After entering the hall, Mi Zhu said: "I wonder why the envoy went to the Chamber of Commerce despite his busy schedule?"

Sun Qiandao: "Your Majesty has been famous for the Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an for a long time, and he has even heard of Master Mi."

Mi Zhu sneered in his heart, what a sage, he was just Liu Qi. He didn't have the slightest fondness for Liu Qi, he only became a sage because of Liu Bei's sudden seizure of power.

"Thanks to the praise from the Holy One, I am very frightened. The King of Jin has left the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to me. I can only do my best," Mi Zhu said.

Sun Qian nodded, and he naturally understood the meaning of Mi Zhu's words.

"To be honest, I came here this time for the weapons made by Bai Steel. Although Yizhou has just been pacified, there are many gangsters under the rule. The Hussars General is worried about the stability of Yizhou, so he ordered me to go forward. Come to ask for a weapon." Sun Qian said clearly.

"There are actually robbers in Yizhou causing trouble. How can we let these robbers be so rampant in the bright world and under the emperor's feet? Why not report it to the King of Jin? The King of Jin is a general who is in charge of the world's troops. He should send troops to annihilate the robbers in Yizhou. Mi Zhu said seriously.

"How dare you trouble the general to take action on such a trivial matter?" Sun Qian said.

"The envoy must be aware of the prices of weapons forged by Hundred Steel Refining. These prices are agreed upon by the Chang'an Mansion. Within my authority, if a discount can be obtained, I will certainly give a discount." Mi Zhu said, at this moment What Mi Zhu reveals is the essence of a businessman.

Sun Qian seemed to have expected this, and said with a smile: "This is a matter that is being cleaned up. Your Majesty needs 3,000 hundred-forged steel knives, 3,000 long spears, and 500 long knives."

Mi Zhu was surprised. He didn't expect that Yizhou would need so many weapons. "Don't blame me, there are not many Baisteel Weapons in Chang'an now."

"No problem, I'll be waiting in Chang'an City." Sun Qian said.

"I wonder if the envoy paid rice or money?" Mi Zhu asked.

"Money." Sun Qian said lightly. Although there is a lot of rice in Yizhou, naturally it will not be given to Lu Bu so easily. The more powerful Lu Bu is, the greater the deterrent he will be to Yizhou. , and Lu Bu needs rice and grain, which is well-known among the princes. However, when Sili and Jizhou gradually recovered, the grain and grass provided were enough to supply Chang'an's army. However, judging from the current situation, Lu Bu's demand for grain and grass is obviously This made the princes have more speculations. Every time Lu Bu hoarded food and grass, it meant that there would be a war.

There is no doubt about the strength of Chang'an's army. When the world was just stable, no one wanted to compete with Lu Bu.

The four parties are now in a balanced situation. Chang'an's army will not easily go to war with Cao's army, and it will be difficult to invade Yizhou. The most likely option is to attack Liangzhou. Compared with other states and counties in the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou today is Among the most chaotic, the Qiang people are particularly troubled.

"I have written down everything. When the weapons arrive, I will order someone to inform the envoy." Mi Zhu said.

Sun Qian lowered his voice and said, "Master Mi, I wonder how much the Mo Dao costs?"

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Selling Mo Dao is a big deal, and the number of Mo Dao made in the craftsman's workshop is not large. This matter requires the permission of the King of Jin."

When Sun Qian saw this, he looked disappointed. He needed Lu Bu's permission, and the difficulty of this matter became a lot higher. "Master Mi, if you can be accommodating, I will definitely be grateful."

Mi Zhu said sternly: "I am in charge of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce under the orders of the King of Jin. How can I enrich my own pockets?"

Sun Qian showed a look of helplessness. Mi Zhu put Lu Bu's order as the most important thing in every line of his words, which made him, the messenger of the imperial court, a little helpless.

Sun Qian went to the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, so Cao Cao's envoy Man Chong and Jiangdong's envoy Qin Song went there in a hurry. They went to Chang'an with the same purpose. Who can be sure how many weapons are forged in the craftsman's workshop? If you start, you can equip it to the army as quickly as possible, which will be more beneficial to the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness.

In terms of his attitude towards the envoys from both sides, Mi Zhu's behavior is naturally impeccable. However, after three such incidents, how could the officials of the Chamber of Commerce not see that this was Mi Zhu's deliberate behavior? Regarding these so-called envoys, There is no longer the same emphasis as before.

It can be said that Man Chong and Mi Zhu are quite familiar with each other, and both parties know the prices.

After Qin Song, the envoy from Jiangdong, arrived, many officials in the chamber of commerce secretly worried about the envoy from Jiangdong. Last time, it was the envoy from Jiangdong who angered Mi Zhu, and then a series of things happened. In the end, the envoy from Jiangdong relented. This incident happened in It is widely spread in Chang'an.

However, after Qin Song entered the Chamber of Commerce, he looked calm, and the people pointing around him seemed as if they didn't exist. Just this calmness made Mi Zhu look at him with admiration.

After sitting down, Qin Song stood up and said: "There was some unhappiness between King Wu's envoy Yu Fan and your Excellency. King Wu was extremely angry when he heard about it."

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "I made a mistake at the beginning, and the King of Jin also blamed me for this. Now the King of Jin and the King of Wu are allies."

"Exactly, King Wu praised King Jin very much." Qin Song's face became much more relaxed. Before entering the chamber of commerce, he was indeed a little worried. After all, there was some dissatisfaction between Jiangdong's envoy and Mi Zhu.
