Listening to Ma Chao's big business to cooperate with is to store grain, Mi Tai almost vomited blood. Good guy, this kid is really amazing, he almost didn't let himself pass.

Mi Taigong asked Ma Chao with a serious face: "Xiaoyou, now is not the time to laugh, don't sell Guan Zi anymore!" However, after he finished speaking, looking at Ma Chao's serious expression, it didn't look like a joke.

Mi Taigong still had a glimmer of hope for Ma Chao's words, thinking that he might be old, maybe he was poor hearing, but his ears have always been good.

So he asked again: "Xiaoyou, what you said is really Tun, Tun grain?" ”

Ma Chao nodded slightly, "Yes, boy, I'm talking about the accumulation of grain and grass, this is the big business we want to cooperate!" ”

After Mi Taigong listened to Ma Chao's words, his only glimmer of hope was shattered, which was really extremely discouraged. I thought that Ma Chao's kid seemed to be quite reliable, and the big business he said should be almost quite reliable for a living, but who knew that the result of Lu Dao was like this, and the two of them chatted for a long time just for such a grain business.

And it's not good for me to say anything about Ma Chao, first, he is a guest from afar, and he came to visit him today. Although I didn't take anything, I really didn't care about any courtesy. The etiquette is thorough, and they are all very good and impeccable. didn't look down on himself because he was a businessman, but he still had to cooperate with himself in business. Although it seems that this business is not very reliable, people have good intentions after all.

The second is that Ma Chao has a very good impression on himself, and he seems to be a person who can make great achievements in the future. Such a person can have a good relationship, of course, and even if he can't make friends, he can't offend.

Mi Taigong is really an old man, he may be replaced by an ordinary young man, and the more angry ones may be sent off directly, how can he still think about this. And he has lived for such an age, his anger is much smaller than when he was young, and more importantly, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courage he has.

As the head of the family, he has to think more about the whole family, even if his family can't prosper in his own hands, he must not go into decline, if he really wants that, he will become a sinner for the whole family. Based on the above reasons, although Mi Taigong was dissatisfied with Ma Chao, he did not show anything abnormal at all.

After listening to Ma Chao confirm that it was Tun Grain, he said to Ma Chao with a wry smile: "Alas, Xiaoyou, you may not know anything if you don't do business." It will be advantageous to accumulate grain and grass, but even if the old man and I invest all the family's money as capital, the most I can earn in the end is only a small profit. My Mi family is a businessman, and the grain and grass business is naturally operated, but it is not the most important livelihood. To tell the truth, the money earned from the grain and grass business is still worse than that of other businesses. ”

Mi Taigong didn't say that it was much worse, but just said that it was worse. Because he thinks that ordinary young people like Ma Chao should have a better face, he really takes care of Ma Chao's face outside of what he says. Ma Chao is also like a mirror in his heart about this. The heart said that this old fox is really not to be underestimated, and it is not without reason that the Mi family can occupy a place in the whole of Xuzhou. As long as this old man is in charge, the Mi family will at least not decline.

But why haven't I heard of this old man before, could it be, yes, probably. This old man may have passed away a long time ago, but judging from the current situation, he should have no problem living for another ten or eight years. Could it be that he really responded to that sentence, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck", if this is the case, then no matter what the business is, you must find an opportunity to ask this old man about his illness or something.

That's right, that's what Ma Chao thinks. Although he doesn't have superb medical skills, but with the medical books left by Nanhua, Ma Chao believes that there is no problem with him prescribing the right medicine. …,

He shook his head slightly, "What the prince said is true, and the kid naturally understands this." ”

When Mi Taigong heard this, he gave Ma Chao another roll of his eyes, which means that you understand it yourself, and what do you say about this unreliable business.

"The words are not bad, but I don't know if Taigong has thought about it, what you always said is just a general situation, under normal circumstances, the grain and grass business may indeed not have a huge profit, but ......" Ma Chao didn't say everything, just looked at Mi Taigong with a smile.

Seeing Ma Chao looking at himself, and thinking of what he said under normal circumstances, grain and grass are not very profitable, so unusual, that is to say, Mi Taigong, who has been a businessman for decades, naturally understood what Ma Chao meant, and he also looked at Ma Chao.

Seeing this, the latter nodded, "What Taigong thinks is good, it is a natural and man-made disaster!" ”

Mi Taigong also nodded in approval after hearing this, but he said again: "What Xiaoyou said is not bad at all, natural disasters, as long as it is a year of great drought, the accumulation of grain and grass must be a million profits, but now that the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, how can there be any natural disasters?" As for this man-made disaster, the world is now even more peaceful, let alone fighting! ”

He naturally understood what Ma Chao meant, but he couldn't see any natural and man-made disasters in the world. In fact, not to mention that he is too duke, how many people in the world can really be sure of this. But no matter how many there are, there must be one of them, Ma Chao, others may not know the way, but he himself knows best.

Now it is the third year of Guanghe, and in the fifth year of Guanghe and the sixth year of Guanghe, these two years have been two consecutive years of great drought in the world, and these are the natural disasters. The fifth year of Guanghe and the sixth year of Guanghe were 182 A.D. and 183 A.D., and when it came to the first year of Zhongping, that is, 184 A.D., the world was about to be in chaos, and the Three Kingdoms era in history was also kicked off from there.

Ma Chao clearly knew these things, but he couldn't tell Mi Taigong the truth, "Taigong should know, 'there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky', since ancient times, the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the power of heaven is unstoppable. As for man-made disasters, people's hearts are unpredictable, today may be peaceful in the world, but tomorrow may be in chaos in the world, and the people will be in trouble! "It's not bad to say that Ma Chao's words are not bad, but it is obviously impossible to convince Mi Taigong with such a few words.

Sure enough, Mi Taigong said: "Xiaoyou's words are not unreasonable, and the old man also thinks it is very right." 'There are unpredictable storms in the sky' is true, but there may be unpredictable storms tomorrow, but it is more likely that there may not be. It's even better if people's hearts are unpredictable, but if there is peace today, the world may be chaotic tomorrow, but I believe that the world will be peaceful tomorrow! Let the old man and I put my belongings on such unpredictability, how is that different from gambling? When I was young, maybe I would be with my friends, but now I am really old! After saying that, he sighed, and I don't know if it was because he was feeling old or for some other reason.

In fact, Mi Taigong still hasn't said a word, that is, the old man, I have not only paid the capital, but also the future of the entire Mi family. Xiaoyou, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, is it easy to be the head of this family, it's really not easy.

Ma Chao understands Mi Taigong quite well, after all, if he didn't know this kind of thing in advance, and others came over to say this to him, he wouldn't agree. He really doesn't have any good way to convince Mi Taigong now, you let Ma Chao get on the horse and make a gun, get off the horse and make a knife, or you can come up with a plan, or lead the troops to fight. But if you really want him to be a lobbyist, he really isn't qualified.

There is no good way, the matter is over for the time being, and Ma Chao does not insist on cooperating with Mi Taigong, and the two said a bunch of other unnutritious words. Until the two talked about noon, Ma Chao said goodbye, and Mi Taigong didn't force him to stay. He saw that Ma Chao didn't want to stay with him for long, and he felt that he would have a chance to meet Ma Chao in the future, so he was not in a hurry at all. …,

Ma Chao was a little depressed because his intention to come today was not achieved. This was the first time it was a failure, and it wasn't a big blow, but it also affected his mood.

When Mi Tai announced his resignation and was leaving, Ma Chao inadvertently picked up his baggage. Usually Ma Chao doesn't do this, usually he checks the baggage first and confirms that it is wrapped before picking it up and carrying it away. But today I didn't care about this because of my mood, and I forgot about it.

His burden is quite big, although he didn't open it before, but when he was talking to Mi Taigong, he casually threw it on the case, so that the burden was a little loose, and when he inadvertently picked it up, something fell out of the baggage.

There was a bang when something landed on the desk, and it was definitely loud, especially in a quiet room where the sound of a needle could be heard.

Mi Taigong and Ma Chao in the house both focused their ideas on the falling things at this time, "Why did this thing fall out!" Of course, it was not Ma Chao who said this, but Cui An.

He came with Ma Chao mainly to act as a bodyguard, but the main purpose is only known to him. The first is that it is boring to be alone, it is better to follow the lord's side, and the second is to visit someone with the lord, usually the most dear people give good food, drink and hospitality. Yes, Cui An has a lot of money in his baggage, and there is no problem with eating or anything, but he also understands that if he is with his father-in-law, then he doesn't have to spend money, and it feels good to eat and drink for nothing.

But today I didn't mix eating and drinking, and I didn't understand what my lord and the old man said before, and my lord didn't let him speak, so Cui An was almost about to fall asleep. Now that he is leaving, he can finally insert a sentence, and he just recognizes what fell out, it is nothing else, it is the black sword that Ma Chao got in Youzhou Youbei Pingwu City.

At the beginning, Ma Chao kindly saved the old man who sold the sword, although the old man eventually passed away, but he gave the sword to Ma Chao, a destined person, before he died. Ma Chao didn't take the sword seriously, it was just a relic of the old man, and it was a gift from the elder, so he always put the sword in his baggage and carried it all the way.

And he was more regretful in his heart, regretting that he couldn't save the old man, whenever he saw the sword, Ma Chao always couldn't help but think of the old man. The scene in the city of no end always appeared in front of him, and the sword could be regarded as spurring him to continue to work hard for his ideals.

Ma Chao glared at Cui An, because Cui An's words were really out of place, it was already rude to make such a loud noise, but it turned out that he should have apologized, who would have thought that Cui An, this kid, would have said this, he would naturally stare at him.

However, these Mi Taigong didn't care, at this time he was staring at the sword very distractedly. When Ma Chao just wanted to speak, Mi Taigong spoke first, "Little friend, I don't know if this is ......"

Mi Taigong's voice was a little trembling, and he sounded like he was very excited. Ma Chao didn't understand why he was like this, but when he saw Mi Taigong's question, he still answered truthfully: "This thing is a gift from an elder, and it is a sword." ”

Mi Taigong came to the front of the sword, stretched out his right hand towards the sword, and looked at Ma Chao with extremely expectant eyes, "This, this, Xiaoyou, I don't know the old man, can I take a look at this sword?" ”

Ma Chao didn't know why, and said in his heart that what was wrong with this Mi Taigong, it seemed that he was a little incoherent, but after thinking about it, he still replied: "Taigong, please!" ”

So Ma Chao saw a very interesting scene, only to see Mi Taigong pick up the black sword like a child getting his favorite toy, and it was more like he had found some rare treasure and carefully observed the black sword. Sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking heads, sometimes sighing.

In fact, it's also strange that Ma Chao didn't inquire about this old man's information completely, to say that this old man's biggest hobby is by no means to make money or anything, but to collect. Yes, that's it, this old man's favorite thing is to collect antiques, and he also likes any rare treasures and the like, and his understanding of this kind of thing can be said to be one of the best in the world.

However, Ma Chao didn't know what to do, he was wondering there, why this old man was so interested in this black sword.
