Seeing Yang Ling staring at him intently, the young man frowned and coughed slightly in displeasure.
Only then did Yang Ling come back to his senses, pretending as if nothing happened, and said with a smile,
"I'm Yang Ling, the owner of Maotai Wine. I wonder who you two are..."
"Let me introduce myself. I am Mi Fang of the Mi family in Xuzhou. My name is Zifang."
The man with a kind face before stood up and said with a smile,
"This is my younger brother, Mi Zhen."
The young man on the side, Mi Zhen, also stood up and raised his hands towards Yang Ling.
Mi Zhu personally visited him to discuss cooperation matters.
Presumably the reputation of Moutai wine has spread to Xuzhou.
As for the so-called younger brother Mi Zhen on the side, it was obvious that he wanted to hide his identity from others.
Yang Ling could tell at a glance that she was pretending to be a woman.
Whether it is history or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Mi family consists of two brothers, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and a younger sister, Mrs. Mi.
There is no such person as Mi Zhen. .
And according to unofficial records, Mrs. Mi's real name was Mi Zhen.
Isn't the homophony of Mi Zhen the same as Mi Zhen?
To sum up, the identity of this person is almost revealed. She should be the famous Mrs. Mi Zhenmi in history!
Yang Ling had thousands of thoughts in her mind, but on the surface she pretended to be surprised,
"I didn't expect that your Excellency is actually the famous Mi Zi Fang. How rude!"
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. My brother and I came to the house rudely. This is rude."
Mi Fang was also extremely polite.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down and talked about business.
"I just heard Shopkeeper Huang say that Brother Zifang wants to cooperate with us in the Moutai fine wine business?"
Yang Ling asked.
"Yes, this is indeed the case."
Mi Fang smiled and said slowly,
"Moutai wine is also very popular in Xuzhou. So I came here specifically to discuss cooperation with Brother Yang."
"With the strength of our Mi family and the addition of fine wines like Maotai Wine, our two families will definitely be able to make a lot of money."
If someone else came to ask for cooperation, Yang Ling would naturally refuse without even thinking about it.
But if the Mi family came to visit, he would have to think about it carefully.
The ancestors of the Mi family have been engaged in farming for generations, with nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and assets worth hundreds of millions.
However, Yang Ling considered cooperating with the Mi family not because the Mi family was strong, but because the Mi family would defect to Liu Bei in the future.
It is precisely because of the Mi family's support that Liu Bei has the capital to compete in the world!
Yang Ling had a grudge against Liu Bei, how could he just sit back and watch something like this happen?
Moreover, as Liu Bei's power increases, doesn't it make it more difficult for Boss Cao to unify the world in disguise?
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Yang Ling must find a way to win over the Mi family!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling smiled slightly,
"Isn't it just cooperation? This is easy to say!"
Hearing this, Mi Fang couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling secretly proud in her heart.
It seems that the reputation of my Mi family is still strong.
The two simply discussed cooperation matters, but before they had time to discuss it in depth, the sky darkened.
Yang Ling glanced at the sky outside and said with a smile,
"It's not too early, we might as well continue talking tomorrow. I'm hosting a banquet tonight, so Brother Zifang and your brother don't want to leave."
"In this case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Mi Fang also nodded in agreement.
Following Yang Ling's instructions, shopkeeper Huang soon ordered someone to prepare a table of good food and wine.
Under Yang Ling's deliberate hospitality, Moutai wine was also added to the fun.
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite lively as they drank and drank.
During the conversation between the two parties, Mi Fang was even more surprised by Yang Ling's insights into business.
"Brother Yang, your remarks about business really amaze me."
Mi Fang couldn't help but praise,
"I didn't expect you to be so smart in business!"
"No, Brother Zifang is too polite."
Yang Ling waved his hand modestly.
joke.
After all, I have traveled through time and space, so I can quote some opinions and remarks at will, and I won’t leave you dumbfounded.
At this moment, Mi Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke softly,
"Brother Yang, I wonder if you are willing to come and help our Mi family. In terms of salary, it will naturally be generous."
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Yang Ling, and there was a strange sparkle in them.
Yang Ling was startled, then smiled and said,
"I appreciate your kindness, but right now I am working under Cao Zhou Mu and have no other plans for the time being."
Hearing this, Mi Zhen's eyes flashed with disappointment.
The Mi family has been in business for generations and has business all over the world. Naturally, they need people with business acumen like Yang Ling.
She originally wanted to recruit Yang Ling, but she didn't expect that Yang Ling was Cao Cao's man.
"Come on, come on, drink!"
Mi Zhu laughed and raised his glass.
After a few more drinks, shopkeeper Huang suddenly walked in from outside and whispered something in Yang Ling's ear.
Mi Zhen was the closest to Yang Ling and had very good hearing. She could vaguely hear the words "Zhou Mu, please come over".
She secretly thought that Yang Ling seemed to have a high status under Cao Cao.
"knew."
Yang Ling nodded to Shopkeeper Huang, then smiled apologetically,
"Brothers, I'm really sorry. I'm temporarily busy."
"It doesn't matter, Brother Yang, just go and do your work."
Mi Zhu smiled generously.
Yang Ling apologized repeatedly, then stood up and walked out.
Dian Wei was waiting outside the wine shop. When he saw Yang Ling coming forward, he quickly said,
"Brother, my lord asked me to invite you over."
"Did something big happen?"
Yang Ling asked.
Since Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban Army, he has been busy with official duties, but the two have not seen each other for a while.
He asked Dian Wei to invite him over so late today, so something big must have happened.
"I'm not sure. Anyway, the lord is very angry. It seems to be because of those nobles."
Dian Wei shook his head.
Yang Ling suddenly realized.
The Yellow Turban Army had been put down for some time, and it was almost time for Cao Cao to break up with the Yanzhou nobles.
Several people arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion and walked straight into the lobby.
"I've met Zhou Mu."
Yang Ling, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun bowed their hands to Cao Cao in the hall.
"You're welcome, sir."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a livid face,
"It's just as Mr. said, these local nobles are driving me to death!"
It turned out that in the eyes of local nobles such as Chen Gong and Xu Si, it was entirely thanks to them that Cao Cao could take the position of state pastor.
But after Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, instead of reusing them, he suppressed them vigorously.
Moreover, a series of policies such as reclaiming wasteland and re-employing poor people also greatly harmed their interests.
This made the Yanzhou nobles particularly dissatisfied with Cao Cao.
In addition, there was a famous scholar named Bian Rang, a great Confucian in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who was as famous as Kong Rong and Tao Qiuhong.
