Although Tao Qian was the prefect of the state, Xun Zhen was only a county governor, but Xun Zhen's reputation was no worse than Tao Qian's. The brave foot and righteous obedience, once the place is in chaos, can become a decisive force in Xuzhou's territory, and even Tao Qian is a little afraid of him because of this.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is really no harm in making friends with Xun Zhen, and as Qin Song said, it is very beneficial.

Mi Zhu's family is very wealthy and coveted. He can't hang himself in a tree. He has to find another way for his family to find a strong foreign aid.

After a night of thinking and discussions with Mi Fang and others, Mi Zhu made a decision: he agreed to Qin Song's request for borrowing things.

Qin Song bid farewell to Mi Zhu and returned to Guangling.

When he saw Xun Zhen, he smiled and said, "It's done! Mi Zizhong is not only willing to lend the Duke Ming's grain, cattle, and farm implements, but also to lend him another 5,000 stone grains."

"Would you like to lend me another 5,000 stone grains?"

"Exactly."

It's no wonder that President Mi Zhu was worried that someone in the prefecture and county was coveting his family property. After hearing Qin Song's words, Xun Zhen was a little jealous and sighed, "The Mi family is really rich!"

The "stones" of the Han Dynasty are divided into large and small stones. The additional 5,000 stone grains that Mi Zhu lent to Xun Zhen must be counted as large stones. Five thousand large stones are tens of millions of catties. If one person is half a catty of grain a day, they can support 5,000 people. One year, 10,000 people and half a year, there is no need to go to other places to find and squeeze. As long as these 5,000 stone grains are available, Xunzhen will have all the "must have rations reserves" needed for farming.

5,000 stone grains seem to be a lot, and they are indeed a lot, but for a tyrant like the Mi family, taking out so much grain will not hurt the bones. The Mi family raised tens of thousands of slaves and guests. If the family did not have a standing supply of tens of thousands of stone grains, he would not be able to support so many people.

Borrowing grain seeds, farming cattle, and farming implements, and now I have borrowed 5,000 stone grains. Although it is said to be "borrowing", Xun Zhen couldn't give up any money for so many things, and Guangling County was short of grain. There was still some money, so Xun Zhen waved his pen and ordered Yuan Sui and Qin Song to take the lead, ordering the officials in the mansion to prepare the money as soon as possible, waiting for Mi Zhu to send someone to discuss the details.

The Mi Zhu faction arrived soon, it was none other than Mi Fang.

Sending his own younger brother here shows how seriously Mi Zhu attaches importance to this matter.

Xun Zhen also knew about this Mi Fang in his previous life. Just like about Mi Zhu, he also knew a little about him, knowing that he later betrayed Liu Bei and surrendered to Sun Wu because of Guan Yu's relationship.

——Speaking of this, Guan Yu's character is indeed too arrogant. Who is Mi Fang? Liu Bei's brother-in-law is an uncle of the state, so I don't talk about this level of kinship. When Liu Bei was in trouble, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang all helped each other, which was also a great hero to Shu Han, but he was the only one who had a close relationship with Liu Bei and was a big help to Liu Bei. A man of merit, Guan Yu also gave no face at all, and finally Mi Fang surrendered to Sun Wu.

Mi Fang has the style of her brother, and is also gentle and elegant, like a well-educated Confucian student.

Xun Zhen personally greeted him and received him warmly.

Mi Fang's character was Zifang, and Xun Zhen did not call him by his first name, but addressed him by his character, which was both cordial and respectful.

Although Mi Fang's family is rich, as a person, he has no special reputation in the state, and he is white and does not hold a post in the state government. , He was a little flattered by such warm respect for him.

Mi Zhu borrowed grain and things to Xun Zhen, not for money, but to make a "foreign friend", Mi Fang's mission to come to Guangling this time was therefore very easy, no bargaining was required, the guest and host were in harmony, and it took a few days. The details of the matter are finalized.

Mi Fang said goodbye to Xun Zhen and returned to Tan County.

Seeing his elder brother Mi Zhu, after reporting the results of the negotiation with Guangling, Mi Fang was very emotional when he talked about Xun Zhen's attitude towards him.

He said to Mi Zhu: "Xuzhou is fortunate to rely on Fang Bo to be safe. Fang Bogu was a hero for a while, but someone like Xun Guangling is really heartbreaking, like sitting in the spring breeze." He also said to Mi Zhu, "I am in Guangling, and I am fortunate to get to know each other. Some of the people under Xunjun's account are all handsome in the world."

Mi Zhu asked: "'Everyone is handsome in the world'? How does the people you see compare to Qin Wenbiao?"

"There is a loyal performer under Xunjun, whose talent is above the literary table; there is Xun Gongda, whose talent is also above the literary table; there are people like Cheng Junchang, Wei Guang, Luan Gu, Yao Shuqian, Liu Xuande, etc. They are all heroes at home and abroad; like Jiang Xian, Xin Ai, and Xun Cheng, each with the appearance of a general, and like Liu Deng, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, all the ministers with minions and teeth, all of them can break down to defend the enemy, and they are called bears. Shi, the tiger of the world is also. It is hard to find such a person, but I have met all of them under Xun Jun's account this time. Xun Jun's account is full of real talents, which is enviable."

"What about Uncle Fang's account?"

Mi Fang didn't even think about it, she shook her head and said, "Uncle Fang can't compare!"

Mi Zhu didn't believe it, so he named a few of Tao Qian's advisors and generals and asked, "Can't it be compared to Xun Jun's?"

Mi Fang smiled and said, "If it's stronger, I'd like to say something."

"How to say?"

"It's like the comparison between ox and horse and dragon and phoenix, like the comparison between wolf and tiger and bear."

Mi Fang's words are not an exaggeration.

It may not be easy to say which of Xun Zhen and Tao Qian is more capable, but it is clear at a glance which of Xun Zhen's subordinates and Tao Qian's subordinates are stronger. Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Liu Bei, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, these are all temporary choices. In terms of their talent and bravery, they are above ten thousand people, and they are not comparable to those under Tao Qian.

Qin Song is an old acquaintance of Mi Zhu, and Mi Zhu knew about his abilities early on. Xun You and Yao Sheng had been to Tan County before, but Mi Zhu knew a little about their demeanor and speech. Under Zhen's account, even such talents as Qin Song, Xun You, and Yao Sheng can only be "one of them" among the many handsome characters. .

Grain seeds, farming oxen, farm implements, and grains are all available in the Mizhu family. In particular, grain seeds, farming cattle, and grains do not need to be prepared any more. There may be shortcomings in farm implements. , Xuzhou has three iron officials, respectively in Pengcheng, Xiapi and Donghai, and this iron official in Donghai County happens to be in Mizhu's hometown - Qu County. , So, the lack of agricultural tools, Mi Zhu can easily get it.

Mi Fang returned to Tan County and was sent away by Mi Zhu the next day. This time, she was sent back to her hometown of Qu County to personally dispatch and arrange the delivery of various materials lent to Guangling. A few days later, the endless stream of trains started from Quxian to Guangling.

On the Guangling side, Xun Zhen arranged for Qin Song and Yuan Sui to receive the goods.

The entire process of receiving is: materials and goods arrive in the county, first counted by Qin Song, and then registered by Yuan Sui, and the farm has not yet started. Go and take care of it by the county secondary specialist.

Not to mention these, during the entire reception process, Jiang Qin, He Yi, and others have started recruiting refugees at the same time, and Xun You and others have also begun to go to each county to supervise the replacement and division of fields. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

But it was said that on the Guangling side, it was not long after Xun Zhen took office. He said "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", and he did not intervene much in the political affairs of the county. got up.

In the prefecture, Tao Qian learned about Mi Zhu's loan of supplies to Xun Zhen.

In fact, before Mi Zhu started lending supplies to Xun Zhen, Tao Qian heard the news, and specially summoned Mi Zhu for this purpose, and asked him side-by-side. At that time, Mi Zhu did not hide it, and told the truth.

Tao Qian was very unhappy, and he said something at the time, he said: "Qing has the intention to do things for the state, which is good, but you are a native of Donghai, and now you are working for the state, even if you want to do your best for the state, you should also With the East China Sea and the prefecture as the first, why do you help Guangling from afar?"

"Zhu Fei is to help Guangling, but to help Duke Ming, and also to help friends."

"How do you say this?"

"Qin Song, a strategist at Guangling, and Qin Wenbiao, Zhu was a close friend, and Guangling had difficulties. Wenbiao made a special trip to me and told me to ask for help. Although Zhu was a gentleman, he knew the friendship of friends, so he did not refuse, so he agreed. This is to help. acquaintance."

"Help me?"

"Fortunately, Duke Ming's divine power~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Xuzhou is safe now, with Ranqing and Yanhuangjin peeping at the side, there are more than a hundred thousand of them, and it is absolutely necessary to guard against them. The prestige of the public is definitely not to be feared, but there are not too many troops. Zhu heard that there are quite a few elite soldiers under the tent of Xunjun, the prefect of Guangling. In Zhu's humble opinion, if he can get Xunjun to work together, it may be easier to win. Because it is said: help Guangling , I thought that it was actually helping Duke Ming."

Tao Qian was annoyed and said: "Xun Zhenzhi relied on Yuan Benchu, with thousands of men and horses under his tent, he killed my people when he arrived in the county, and refused to pay me any more food, you are helping him, in fact, you are helping him. Me? Absurd!"

Although he was angry, there was no anger on his face. Not only did he not show anger, Tao Qian also left Mi Zhu to have a meal in the mansion that night.

After eating this meal and leaving the prefecture, Mi Zhu looked back at the courtyard of the prefecture in the dark, and said to himself, "What Qin Wenbiao said was true, Fang Boming was angry that I helped Guangling, but he still kept me for dinner, it seems that Xun Guangling is this" It's true that foreign friends' looking for... However, after all, I work in the state, after all, Fang Bo is the most important in the state, but Xun Guangling can only 'friend', not 'deep friendship'!"

Low-level friendship, deep-level friendship, this refers to the closeness of the relationship.

Between Xun Zhen and Tao Qian, Mi Zhu believed that it was okay to use Xun Zhen as a "foreign friend" and borrow his power to consolidate his position, but Tao Qian was still the most important.

As Qin Song said, even though Tao Qian knew about this and was dissatisfied with Mi Zhu helping Xun Zhen, he had no choice but to turn a deaf ear and pretend he didn't know. Instead, pay more attention to him.
