The front door of the Lu family.
Mi Fang is about thirty years old, with a slightly chubby figure and a large frame, giving people a very strong look. He was wearing silk and satin, and his clothes were gorgeous. However, there was no elegance in his clothes, and instead he gave people the feeling of a nouveau riche.
Mi Fang walked back and forth at the door, with a somewhat uneasy expression on her fat face.
This time when she came to Shu County, Mi Fang came for Feixian Wine. Feixian Wine has spread in Xuzhou. After drinking it, the wealthy gentry in Xuzhou were full of praise and wanted to buy it. Unfortunately, there is not much Feixian Liquor in Xuzhou, and demand has always been in short supply.
Mi Fang was at home and had been in charge of the family business. He discovered that Feixian Wine was scarce and noticed the business opportunities. He quickly arranged for people to investigate and learned that Feixian Wine was brewed by Lu Xuan and the Lu family was responsible. Therefore, Mi Fang and his brother Mi Zhu After discussion, he went to Shu County in person and prepared to open up channels to purchase Feixian Wine.
As long as you have enough Feixianjiu, you can make a lot of money.
While Mi Fang was waiting, suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from the Lu family's house.
Lu Xuan came out in person.
Lu Xuan walked to the door with a spring-like smile on his face. He looked at Mi Fang at the door and said, "I woke up early this morning and heard the cry of magpies. I thought something must be good, but I didn't expect Brother Mi to come."
Mi Fang was instantly sure that the young man in front of her was Lu Xuan.
young!
Handsome!
The magnanimity is clear and outstanding.
Mi Fang's heart suddenly felt happy, and Lu Xuan's attitude made him feel much less anxious. He quickly said: "Young Master Lu is polite."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Brother Mi, please."
"please!"
Mi Fang nodded and answered.
Both parties entered the hall and took their seats.
Mi Fang looked gentle and said: "Master Lu, my visit to Shu County this time is..."
As soon as he started speaking, Lu Xuan interrupted: "Brother Mi, I heard that the Mi family is the richest man in Donghai County, even if you look at Xuzhou. The Mi family can reach its current scale because of brother Mi's contribution."
Mi Fang said humbly: "Young Master Lu is overrated. My abilities are average. The Mi family is here now because of my eldest brother's plan. Moreover, the Mi family in Xuzhou actually only has a small fortune, which is nothing."
Lu Xuan said: "Brother Mi is too humble. I heard that Brother Mi's eldest brother Mi Zhu has outstanding talents and was appointed by Tao Qian as a special assistant. He is in charge of all the government affairs of the Prefecture and Mufu. He is highly regarded by Tao Qian."
Mi Fang frowned slightly.
He wanted to explain his purpose directly, but Lu Xuan interrupted, disrupting his rhythm and leaving him no chance to say it. Moreover, Lu Xuan's words praised the Mi family and even praised his eldest brother Mi Zhu. Mi Fang could only follow along.
Mi Fang said humbly: "The eldest brother's talent is indeed outstanding. The eldest brother is good at managing money and business, so he is highly valued by Tao Zhoumu."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
Mi Zhu is indeed an average official.
However, Mi Zhu was able to run the Mi family, and now the family has countless assets, which is indeed extraordinary. Mi Zhu in history dared to directly bet on Liu Bei when Liu Bei was in decline. It must be said that he had courage and vision.
This is a successful businessman.
Lu Xuan wants to do something big. If Mi Zhu is responsible for taking care of money, it will be of great help to Lu Xuan's pocket.
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, and he dropped the topic and asked tentatively: "Mi Zhu was entrusted with an important task by Tao Qian. Although he has a high and powerful position. But now, Mi Zhu is probably tossing and turning, and he is worried all day long, right?"
Mi Fang was surprised when she heard this, and a look of astonishment flashed across her chubby face.
Looking at Lu Xuan, his eyes were even more shocked.
How did Lu Xuan know?
During this period, Mi Zhu was indeed very depressed and stayed up late every night, looking worried. Mi Fang asked specifically, but Mi Zhu didn't say anything at all. She just comforted him and said it was okay and asked Mi Fang to take care of the Mi family's affairs.
Mi Zhu said something, but Mi Fang didn't think much about it.
He was used to it being his eldest brother who made the final decision in major matters at home. After all, Mi Zhu was very decisive in doing things.
Mi Fang was not very talented in politics and did not understand Mi Zhu's worries. Now that Lu Xuan had spoken, Mi Fang was curious and looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Why does Mr. Lu judge like this?"
Lu Xuan smiled in his heart.
He just made a tentative inquiry based on the situation in Xuzhou. If Mi Fang directly denies it, Lu Xuan may not be able to use his words.
Mi Fang took the initiative to ask, which meant that Mi Fang recognized it in her heart.
As soon as Mi Fang asked, Lu Xuan took control of the rhythm.
Things will be easier to handle.
Suppressing Mi Fang first and then the Mi family will help him recruit the Mi family.
Lu Xuan looked indifferent and said calmly: "Brother Mi, the reason is actually not complicated. Tao Qian is old and is already dying. This news should be true, right?"
Mi Fang nodded and said: "If others ask, I will definitely not tell. When Mr. Lu asks, I will tell the truth. Tao Qian is indeed seriously ill. At the beginning of the month, he fainted once. The doctor said that Tao Qian could at most still be Within a year, he could die at any time."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and became even more determined.
He looked more and more calm and continued: "If Tao Qian is in good health, as long as he is alive, Xuzhou will not be in chaos and people's hearts will not be scattered. Even if Cao Cao is strong, Tao Qian is not a vegetarian."
"Tao Qian's ability and prestige are enough to stabilize the situation."
"Now, Tao Qian is dying, and Tao Qian's two sons are idiots and have no ability to inherit Xuzhou."
"Under this premise, Cao Cao, who is eyeing him eagerly, may attack Xuzhou at any time. Once Xuzhou changes its owner, will the Mi family still have its current glory? So Mi Zhu is not only worried about Tao Qian's body, but also worried about the future of the Mi family."
"In troubled times, there are many thieves and bandits, and big families are not safe. What's more, Cao Cao is even more ferocious, and he often confiscates homes and exterminates people. Think about it, if Tao Qian dies and Cao Cao invades the state, the Mi family is so rich, how can they get rid of it? Cao Cao’s claws?”
Lu Xuan put forward his own conclusion.
This is the premise of beating. First, we will explain the crisis of the Mi family and control Mi Fang's emotions.
hiss!
Mi Fang took a breath.
In my heart, I suddenly panicked.
He never thought about these things at all. He only took care of the business at home, and Mi Zhu made the final decision on all major matters. Moreover, Mi Zhu is Tao Qian's companion and is highly valued by Tao Qian. With an official background, the Mi family has no pressure at all.
Mi Fang can arrange everything easily.
After Lu Xuan analyzed it, Mi Fang discovered that although the Mi family was powerful, the little strength of the Mi family was not enough.
The destruction of the Mi family is close at hand.
Mi Fang also knew about Cao Cao. Not long ago, Cao Cao destroyed more than ten cities in Xuzhou, slaughtered the people, wiped out families and robbed money.
Can someone like the Mi family escape?
There's no way to avoid it.
The expression on Mi Fang's face changed again and again. With his heart full of sorrow, his original intention of discussing business with Lu Xuan faded away, and his mind was filled with the question of where the Mi family should go after Tao Qian's death.
Mi Fang looked at Lu Xuan with even more surprise.
From Lu Xuan's words, he could see that Lu Xuan knew Xuzhou, the Tao family, and the Mi family. This man was not simple.
As expected of Lu Xuan.
When she came, Mi Fang collected information about Lu Xuan and the Lu family, and knew that Lu Xuan had great literary talent. He had just entered Lujiang and heard the news that Lu Xuan defeated Sun Ce and raided Hefei. He knew that Lu Xuan was both civil and military.
At that time, Mi Fang felt that Lu Xuan was powerful.
Now, Mi Fang felt that Lu Xuan in front of her was simply unfathomable.
The expression on Mi Fang's face changed from gentle and calm, to admiration, and finally to awe. He sat upright, clasped his hands, and said solemnly: "Master Lu, please teach me how the Mi family should deal with the current predicament?"
