"You bastards! You actually attack your own brothers. You are so lawless! Where is the kindness and forgiveness I taught you! Look at the violence you are talking about now, what kind of Taishan bandits are you! Back then, we were invaded by the Goryeo Tartars. When we were at our most desperate and desperate When we were helpless, it was they who sacrificed their lives and provided help in times of need, bringing us hope! They are blood brothers who have gone hand in hand with us and spilled their blood on the battlefield, slept together in snow nests, stood firm together, and shared life and death together. Brothers and sisters, how many hot-blooded men from Taishan have been buried in the snow forever. How long has it been? You have completely forgotten the friendship between life and death and the brotherhood just for petty profits and jealousy. Now you have to draw your swords against each other. It is simply You are worse than a beast, you have let me down so much!" Although Zhao Yun is young, he is mature, prudent, magnanimous, and has a benevolent mind for the world and a righteous heart that upholds the right path of the world. It is precisely because of this that he is regarded as a confidant by Qin Ge.
Under Zhao Yun's righteous words, Yang Zhi and Deng Zhi felt extremely ashamed. They thought that they were indeed blinded by selfishness. In the end, they almost pulled out a knife on Tong and others because of their passion. Now that Zhao Yun pointed them out, they were even more ashamed.
The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General (eldest brother), we were wrong!"
"It is human nature to strive for fame and gain, but you should never forget why we follow our lord! You are all generals in charge of one side now. Yang Zhi, you are now the captain of Jinan, holding important positions and guarding one side. How can you command an army if you are so narrow-minded? I recommended you to the lord, but now I am beginning to doubt my own vision!" Zhao Yun's face was ashen, and his eyes were shining with anger.
Hearing this, Yang Zhi was so ashamed that he lowered his head and kowtowed: "General, I was also blinded by lard for a moment. Please punish me, General!"
Looking at the two brothers he had cultivated with all his heart, Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said: "Now that the governor is in charge of Qingzhou's military and political affairs, after I go on an expedition outside the territory with my lord, you must be in awe and fulfill your duties. Only the orders of the governor are obeyed." , you must not be arrogant because of favor, let alone be in conflict with him because of personal enmity! Remember, in the future, whether in the military or in life, there is no such thing as Youzhou Clan or Taishan Clan. We are all flesh and blood brothers under the lord's account. In the future, if there are any conflicts and complaints between various ministries, you, as generals, should set an example and take the initiative to persuade and eliminate misunderstandings, instead of adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. Fighting in the same room is no different from animals. If I find you still like this in the future , then brothers don’t have to do anything anymore!”
Yang Zhi and Deng Zhi quickly knelt down to respond.
"Tomorrow you two will bear the thorn to plead guilty, and I will take you to the prefect's house to apologize!" Zhao Yun gave the order in a voice that could not be doubted.
Yang Zhi and Deng Zhi bowed their heads and admitted their mistake. Thinking of taking off their clothes and bearing the bramble in front of a large audience tomorrow, they suddenly felt ashamed.
…
Behind the Qin family ancestral hall, Qin Ge's residence is still located here. At this time, Qin Ge is sitting in the study, holding a book in one hand and studying.
Mi Zhu and Mi Zheng stood at the door. Mi Zhu came to Qin Ge, brought him tea and water, and reported the work of the past year with a stern look on his face.
At this time, Mi Zhu was dressed in jewels, silk and satin, and wore a melon-pipe hat. She looked like a wealthy landlord.
Over the past year, Qilin City's commercial functions have been rapidly developed, and Qingzhou's people's livelihood and commerce have gradually recovered. In addition, it has opened up trade with other states and counties, and the Free Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, faintly surpassing Xuzhou Mi Family, Xuzhou Mi Family, and Xuzhou Mi Family. With the momentum of Yanzhou Wei Family and Jizhou Zhen Family, as the CEO of the Free Chamber of Commerce, Mi Zhu became the veritable God of Wealth in Qingzhou.
"I'm talking about Zifang! You kid is getting better and better as you live longer! The most precious wealth in life is self-cultivation. It's not that you wear gold and silver and act like a rich man. You just blinded me. You Doesn't this cause class conflict? You know, many people in the countryside have just had enough to eat!"
Qin Ge glanced sideways at Mi Fang, who was covered in jewels, and said more and more displeased: "Can you have some noble sentiments? Your whole body is filled with the stench and vulgarity of capitalists. You must get rid of the low taste as soon as possible! Otherwise, after you break away from the masses, sooner or later you will Corrupted! I think you have become corrupted!"
Mi Fang was sweating profusely and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
Mi Zheng couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Qin Ge glanced at Mi Zheng, who was turning around and couldn't help laughing. As the official chamber of commerce of the free community, the Free Trading Company can now bring 30% of the fiscal revenue to Qingzhou a year. It is a veritable chicken that lays golden eggs. This The two brothers are simply living gods of wealth.
"Xiao Zheng! Don't just snicker! As a younger brother, you should always remind me!" Mi Zheng's face turned red and he snorted inaudibly.
Qin Ge put down the book and stood up from his seat, put his arm around Mi Fang's shoulders and said, "I heard that you are stirring up trouble and instigating conflicts between brothers. I heard that the military logistics department you are in charge of often makes things difficult for the brothers I brought back from Youzhou. !”
Mi Fang's fat neck shrank and she shook her head like an old hen: "It's nothing, absolutely nothing. Brother, you know who I am. It must be someone named Zhao who slandered these Youzhou Tatars in front of you. I’ve always been arrogant, so now you’re playing tricks on me, right?”
"Fart!" Qin Ge slapped Mi Fang on the plump back and said angrily: "Don't bring it upon yourself! This is none of Zilong's business! You kid really thought that I was blind when I arrived in Luoyang! That's right! Are you deaf? I have said that if we Taishan people want to live, we must live upright, behave upright, and stand upright. Brothers' ranks and rewards are not earned with hard work. You kid can make money in business with peace of mind. , which one of these doesn’t have the hard work of Brother Youzhou! Aren’t you jealous of Zilong? Let’s do this! This time you bring Longxiang Cavalry to me to break through the enemy! You can defeat the enemy in the midst of thousands of troops. First level, I will also give you a promotion! What do you think?"
As he spoke, Qin Ge pinched Mi Fang's fat chin.
Mi Fang was so frightened that she quickly apologized: "Brother! I'm a coward, don't scare me!"
"How timid! I think you are very courageous! We brothers fought bloody battles and spent a lot of effort to open up this business in Qingzhou, a land full of gangsters. How dare you not know your last name after a few good days? What's going on! We go around fanning the flames and suppressing the brothers from Youzhou for their own selfish desires. Now our army is on an expedition outside the region. If due to factional disputes, dissatisfaction arises between the brothers and they secretly undermine each other and fight within themselves, then the army will be completely defeated, and these tens of millions of people will be defeated. Devoured by the flames of war, can you bear this heinous crime?" Qin Ge's body suddenly erupted with earth-shattering evil energy.
Mi Fang was so frightened that she hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Brother! I... it's not that serious! I usually just bicker..."
Qin Ge released an aura like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. At this time, he had murderous intentions. Mi Fang's heart almost jumped out of her mouth in fright.
Even Mi Zheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
Qin Ge walked up to Mi Fang, looked down at him and said: "Goryeo invaded, the emperor's uncle Liu Yu was at odds with Gongsun Zan, and the two of them fought among themselves because of their selfish interests. As a result, Youzhou collapsed thousands of miles away! Luoyang, the capital city, , the divine power of Sheji collapsed, and the people of the world were in dire straits. However, the group of nobles and nobles in Luoyang, for the sake of small profits, were still in full swing of intrigues and fighting against each other. Sooner or later, this Chinese state would be destroyed in the hands of these bastards! I witnessed this scene with my own eyes. The lessons of the bloody curtain are very painful to me! My brothers are all heroes who share the same goals with me and follow me to support the people of the world. What I hate most is fighting in the nest and attacking each other. Who dares to drive a wedge between their feelings and provoke each other? The fight between them is like inserting a knife into my Qin Ge's heart. I will cut such a person into pieces with a thousand knives, and I can't vent my hatred!"
Mi Fang had long been frightened out of her mind by Qin Ge's momentum and was sweating profusely. Especially after Qin Ge took charge of the Xuanlong Sword, he merged with the murderous intent of the Xuanlong Sword. Even Yuzhou Shepherd Liu Yan was so frightened that he fainted on the spot. , not to mention Mi Fang now, who is so scared that her face is on the ground and her body is like sieve chaff!
Only now did he remember the fierce power of the big man in front of him.
"My lord...my brother...is also acting out of selfish motives. He has no ill intentions. He will definitely enforce the law impartially and will not do it again...if this happens again, we two brothers are willing to engage in military law!" Although Mi Zheng is thin Although he was weak, he was able to look into Qin Ge's eyes under such a huge momentum. Qin Ge was a little surprised by his character and temperament.
Qin Ge put away his murderous intent, and Mi Fang hurriedly begged for mercy as if he had been granted amnesty. At this moment, Xu Tu came in and clasped his fists, saying: "My lord! Just now, General Zilong brought Yang Zhi and Deng Zhi to the general's residence. Please forgive me for bearing the thorns!"
When Qin Ge heard this, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes. Zhao Yun was one of the few generals who shared his mind and shared the same goals with him. Not even Yu Jin could do this.
Qin Ge looked at the Mi brothers and said, "Get up! I just want to tell you that now that we are all in high positions, we are no longer just making small fuss in the free leadership. Every move will have irreversible consequences, and may even be buried. Plant the seeds of destruction! Zifang, you can't always look at the petty profits in front of you, you have to look at the world, have a big picture, and have a big mind. This little righteousness is much better than you!"
Mi Fang responded obediently. He now knew that the man in front of him was no longer the loyal and courageous hero before, but the Qingzhou Mu who was in charge of life and death.
"This time I am going to open up a new business outside the territory. I want to choose one of you brothers to be the quartermaster. At the same time, I am planning to open a branch of a free trading house outside the territory. The territory will be in contact with the civilizations of all countries and fight for years. The business opportunities contained therein are limitless. In the future, this person will be the general person in charge of the overseas commercial bank and the general person in charge of the logistics supply of the Free Army!" Qin Ge looked at brothers Mi Fang and Mi Zheng.
After hearing this, the Mi brothers now knew the reason why Qin Ge came to them. They did not expect to promise such a high position to them. This quartermaster is basically the logistics manager of the expeditionary force. Qin Ge appointed such an important position. For them, they also rely heavily on their brothers.
Mi Fang took a deep breath and said: "My lord! The quartermaster not only needs to dispatch logistics supplies and ordnance and armor, but also needs to establish a free trading house, and the battlefields outside the territory are dangerous. If you trust our brothers so much, I will atone for my sins..."
"I'd better go!" Mi Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head, looked at Qin Ge and said firmly.
Mi Fang was also stunned, looking at Mi Zheng in disbelief and lost her voice: "Xiao Zheng... you..."
Mi Zheng ignored Mi Fang, took a deep breath and said: "Nowadays, most of the connections and transactions of the Free Trading Company are initiated by the second brother. Now that Qilin City's business is booming and is in a critical period of development, it is even more inseparable from the second brother. Brother! I want my lord to give me a chance, and I will definitely open up my own business sea outside the territory!"
"Okay! Be ambitious!" Hearing Mi Zheng's seemingly calm and heroic words, Qin Ge couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered.
"No...the expedition is too dangerous...not a girl...Ah Zheng has no place...I don't agree..." Mi Fang scolded Mi Zhengdao categorically.
"My life is up to me! This time I must follow my lord on an expedition to the outside world. I must build a top-notch chamber of commerce to repay my lord for his kindness!" Mi Zheng stared at Mi Fang without giving up.
Looking at the two brothers who were kneeling on the ground and quarreling with red faces, Qin Ge walked over, squatted between them, put his hands on the shoulders of the two kneeling people and said: "Zifang, you don't have to worry too much! This way! Let’s go! If you are really worried, Azheng will live with me in the Chinese army’s tent from now on. With me, Dian Wei and the Hu Ben army as our guards, I guarantee that we won’t hurt a single hair on his head!”
"Ah!" Mi Zheng exclaimed when he heard this, his face turned red instantly, he lowered his head and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Mi Fang looked at Mi Zheng with a complicated expression after hearing this. Qin Ge turned around and saw Mi Zheng curled up under his arm like a cat. He patted his weak back carelessly and said, "Where did your stubbornness go?" , say something!”
Mi Zheng's lips trembled when he heard this, and he mustered up the courage to say: "I must go to the battlefield outside the territory, but... I won't stay in the Chinese army's tent. I will just live with Mrs. Shande and the others..."
"Damn! You kid is so cowardly! I usually see you as polite and timid as a mouse, but you dare to openly flirt with my wife. Are you openly provoking me?" Qin Ge heard Mi Zheng's words. , and his mind was suddenly filled with black threads.
This boy actually said such words in front of him, because he wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers during the march, and he didn't want to lower his vigilance due to the influence of women. This was a taboo during the march.
So Qin Ge planned to take Kinderman and He Mi on an expedition outside the territory, but arranged a separate back tent for them, with female soldiers led by Yingzhao and Zhao Yu serving as escorts.
Qin Ge couldn't even enjoy the treatment, but this kid Mi Zheng actually had such evil thoughts.
Qin Ge was angry and funny. He had always taken care of this frail boy as his younger brother. Unexpectedly, this guy actually cared about his sister-in-law.
Mi Zheng blushed and shook his head quickly: "No... I... How dare... I... I'd better stay in the Chinese army's tent!" After saying that, he lowered his head to his chest, wanting to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Qin Ge patted the two Mi brothers on the shoulders and said: "Then it's settled! Don't worry, Zifang. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt Xiao Zheng's hair, and I don't think Xiao Zheng cares about it." He is far superior to you in terms of ability and broadmindedness. He has been training with you in the business world for these years. What he lacks now is just a platform, and the business opportunities in the civilized hunting ground are even more extensive than those of free trading houses!"
Mi Fang glanced back at Mi Zheng, sighed and said, "Boss Qin, I hope you can treat Azheng well!"
Qin Ge pulled Mi Fang up from the ground and said with a smile: "You and I are as close as brothers, and I have always treated Xiao as my own brother. When have you ever said that I have treated him badly? Don't worry, Azheng won't be hungry as long as I have a bite to eat!" Click here and I can give you a guarantee!"
Mi Fang rolled her eyes and hesitated to speak, but when she turned around and saw Mi Zheng's pleading eyes, she finally sighed deeply.
