Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Mi Zhu took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a maid standing beside the young salt official.

That maidservant really looks like Ganmei.

Moreover, her eyes were obviously evasive, as if she did not dare to look directly at the siblings.

She feels guilty.

It must be Ganmei!

"Strange, why did Ganmei become his maid?"

Mi Zhu was deeply surprised.

When Liu Bei was still a shepherd in Xuzhou, one day Liu Bei came to Mi's house as a guest. He was slightly drunk during the dinner and fell in love with the sweet plums served with wine. Mi

Zhu looked at his face and saw what Liu Bei was thinking. He wanted to offer the sweet plums to please Liu Bei.

Unexpectedly, just the night before he was going to send the sweet plums to the state capital, the sweet plums were kidnapped and disappeared. Mi Zhu's wishful thinking was shattered, and Mi Zhu really He was annoyed for a while, but in the end he had no choice but to let it go. He never expected that the missing maid would appear in front of him again. She also became the maid of Cao Cao's Salt Order!

After calming down, Mi Zhu stepped forward and He handed over his hand and said:"The lower official Mi Zhu is working under Liu Shijun and has seen the Salt Order."

Cao Yuan glanced sideways at Gan Mei.

No wonder he noticed Gan Mei's uneasy expression just now. It turned out that he had bumped into his old master.

Cao Yuan returned the courtesy and said calmly:"My Excellency, Cao Yuan, I have admired Mi for a long time and am famous for her work. It's a pleasure to meet you. Nice to meet you."

Cao Yuan, an unknown name.

Mi Zhu's expression and eyes changed slightly, and he was no longer as cautious as when he first came in.

"The 50,000 stones of sea salt needed by Cao Gong have been shipped to Fengcheng by the lower official. The price is also based on the previously negotiated price. I don’t know how much money it will cost....."

Mi Zhu hesitated to speak, but hinted at when Cao Yuan would pay.

Cao Yuan sneered and said:"The Mi family is one of the three wealthy businessmen in the world. They are as rich as the country. A mere fifty thousand shi of sea salt is not a drop in the bucket for Mi Zhizhang. Is Mi Zhizhang so impatient?"

Mi Zhu was ridiculed and frowned. A bit of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

If we go back to a year ago, he was indeed as rich as anyone in the country, and he would not take 50,000 stones of sea salt seriously, and even if he gave it to Cao Cao, he would not even blink an eye.

But in the past year, in order to support Liu Bei, he almost used up all the savings of the Mi family for decades.

Especially after Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu and was attacked by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, he even emptied his family fortune in order to support Liu Bei's comeback.

At this time, the Mi family has long been empty-handed. For him, fifty thousand rock salt is just a timely help.

"It's not like I'm impatient, it's just that, ahem...."

Mi Zhu looked embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Tell the truth. It will damage the Mi family's face. Don't tell the truth. I'm afraid that Cao Yuan will delay and refuse to pay.

"My Mi family is the richest in the world. I only have 50,000 stone salt, which is naturally not worth mentioning."

"It's just that this business was supervised by Duke Cao himself. He sent an envoy to Xiaopei to negotiate the price with my Mi family and promised to pay the money and deliver the goods."

"Now that our goods have been delivered, it doesn't matter when the money is given to my Mi family, but I am afraid that the world will say that Mr. Cao is dishonest, which will damage Mr. Cao's reputation."

When Mi Zhen saw her brother in trouble, she spoke loudly to rescue her.

Only then did Cao Yuan notice the woman standing behind Mi Zhu. She was a female, with a bright and beautiful appearance, but she was so calm at such a young age, and she was so sharp-tongued. You can tell by looking at her that she is not an ordinary woman

"Mi is engaged, this girl is...."

Cao Yuan vaguely guessed, but still asked.

Mi Zhu hurriedly said:"This is my roommate Mi Zhen. She has helped Xiaguan with his business since she was a child. She is in charge of the whole process of this sea salt transaction."

Sure enough, it was her.

Cao Yuan glanced back at Gan Mei.

Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Gan, the two wives who originally belonged to Liu Bei, are now here.

"The official was just joking, but Miss Mi took it seriously. Cao

Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said,"The 50 million yuan has been prepared. You can go and collect it later."

Mi Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and complimented:"Mr. Cao is indeed a hero who keeps his word. Please ask Cao Yanling to convey the respect of my Mi family."

Mi Zhu was also relieved and planned to transport the money back to his hometown as soon as possible. Pei, so that he can recruit troops and horses for Liu Bei.

Cao Yuan warned again:"Fifty thousand stones of sea salt is just the first transaction. The imperial court needs a total of 200,000 stones of sea salt. Please deliver the remaining sea salt as soon as possible. Money is not an issue.""

"Please rest assured Cao Yanling, we will deliver all the remaining 150,000 stones of sea salt within a month or so at the latest. Mi

Zhu solemnly promised.

Cao Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said:"Business is important, so I won't keep you two. You go back to Xiaopei as soon as possible to prepare sea salt.""

Gan Mei felt uncomfortable in the presence of the two of them, so Cao Yuan issued an order to expel the guest. Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen looked at each other. The brother and sister looked hesitant, but they did not say goodbye.

After hesitating for a moment,

Mi Zhu coughed a few times and cupped his hands. :"Cao Yanling, I have one more thing to do. It may be a bit abrupt. I don't know whether to talk about it or not.""

"Since it's abrupt, it's okay not to talk about it."

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly.

Mi Zhu was stunned.

He didn't know how to respond to this unconventional answer.

Mi Zhen frowned and simply pointed at Ganmei:"Cao Yanling, this Ganmei next to you is actually a Ganmei. The maid of my Mi family was kidnapped half a year ago. My brother wants to ask, why did she become your maid of Cao Yanling?"

She finally broke the window paper.

Ganmei's beautiful appearance changed, and Xin'er immediately panicked and looked at Cao Yuan.
