Chapter 65: The Mi Family in Xuzhou
Guo Jia was kicked out of the car and got along with Hua Tuo in the same room, and there was nothing wrong along the way.
Soon, the convoy left Chenliu and crossed Liang Guo to Peiguo County.
This is Cao Apu's hometown, Cao Cao's son Cao Song lives in Qian County, and Cao Song is still a lieutenant at this time.
Of course, this captain was also bought.
At this time, the officials of the imperial court were all clearly marked, and they had to spend money to buy them from the three dukes and nine kings to the Taishou county order.
Xu Chu is also a native here, living in Xujiazhuang on the outskirts of Qian County.
When the convoy came to Xujiazhuang, the Xu family had already received Xu Chu's letter and had already come out with the old and young.
The Xu family has a small population, but the men are very strong, and the head of the family is Xu Chu's brother Xu Ding.
Hearing that his brother became an officer in Zhongshan, Xu Ding was also very happy.
They have been farmers for generations, there are very few scholars, and some of them can become military officers, and they are also ancestors who accumulate virtue.
Therefore, Guo Jiaxiang, who listened to the call, did not think much about it, and immediately decided to sell the land and move the whole family to Zhongshan County.
Xu Chu selected a hundred strong young men from the clan, most of whom were proficient in martial arts and had extraordinary skills, and introduced them to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was overjoyed and immediately charged it into the Tiger Guard, which was led by Xu Chu.
After a few days of delay in Xujiazhuang, the team headed south again.
During this period, Guo Jia inquired about Cao Cao's whereabouts several times, wanting to take the opportunity to kill this future strong enemy, but Cao Cao went to Luoyang again to be an official at this time, and was not in Qian County, so Guo Jia had to give up.
The team moved forward again and came to the territory of Xuzhou.
When he arrived in Xuzhou, Guo Jia ordered people to pause and prepare to enter the city to visit a character.
This character is Mi Zhu.
The Mi family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, and the family has a lot of money. Liu Bei was defeated countless times and rose countless times, among which the Mi family played a great role.
The reason why Guo Jia wanted to visit Mizhu was for the border trade plan of Zhongshan County.
If you want to open up the situation quickly, you have to work with these big merchants, who control the local sales channels.
So everywhere he went, Guo Jia would send people to visit the local wealthy merchants to promote his free trade plan.
This was one of the main purposes of his journey south.
Guo Jia, who came from later generations, naturally knew the important role of distributors, and Xiang Mijia naturally couldn't let go of a big businessman like the Mi family.
Guo Jia was ready to visit in person.
Just when Guo Jia was about to take himself personally, his sister-in-law Cai Yu suddenly came to him.
"I heard that you are going to visit the Mi family?"
The girl asked unceremoniously.
Not bad!
Guo Jia nodded.
In fact, there is nothing to hide from this, and he has visited many wealthy merchants along the way.
"I'll go with you!"
Cai Yu said with a smile.
No way!
Guo Jia hurriedly shook his head.
It is said that since he met this sister-in-law, he began to be unlucky, first beaten, and then driven down from the car by Cai Meimei, and stayed with the old man Hua Tuo.
The reason is all because of this sister-in-law.
It's too late for him to hide, how dare he take this little sister-in-law out.
What if Cai Meimei is unhappy again and punishes herself for kneeling on the washboard?
Besides, the panda eyes on this face have just disappeared at this time, in case this girl gives two more, Guo Jiana still has the face to meet people?
Cai Yu snorted and said, "Didn't I go to cause trouble for you, maybe I can still wish you a hand?" ”
Help me?
Guo Jia looked at this girl suspiciously, no matter how she looked at it, she was a little unreliable.
"I really don't lie to you, our Cai family has a lot to do with the Mi family. Mi Zhen, the young lady of the Mi family, is my best friend. In the past, the Mi family also had an industry in Chenliu, and Mi Zhen often went to Chenliu, but some of the roads were not smooth over the years, and she rarely went. But there was still correspondence between us, and I also learned a lot of information from her. ”
Cai Yu explained.
I see!
Guo Jia nodded slowly.
No wonder a girl raised in the boudoir actually has information on the business road, and it turns out that the young lady of the Mi family helps him.
As a big business in Xuzhou, Mijia is well-informed from south to north, which is a good channel.
All right!
Guo Jia nodded, and then prepared to take this little sister-in-law to Mi's house.
With the help of this sister-in-law, I can't say that I can successfully persuade Mi Zhu, and with the cooperation of the Mi family, the construction of the treaty port in Zhongshan County will be smoother.
"There is a reminder to you in advance, don't tell Mi Zhu that you are Guo Jia."
Cai Yu suddenly remembered something and whispered in Guo Jia's ear.
Why?
Guo Jia asked puzzled.
Is he still so famous?
Cai Yu rolled his eyes and sneered, "This is not a good thing you did?" The first thing I did when I went to Zhongshan was to eradicate the largest local wealthy family and kill a lot of people. Some places have long described you as a demon. Now when you mention Guo Jia's reputation, the wealthy families everywhere are terrified. The Mi family is also a wealthy family in Xuzhou, do you think people will rest assured to cooperate with you when you go to other people's homes so rashly? ”
This......
Guo Jia couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his face.
Unexpectedly, in just this period of effort, he has become infamous.
It's right to think about it, public opinion is in the hands of a small number of people, most of these few people are wealthy families, Guo Jia killed the local wealthy families as soon as he took office, most of these people are also a little sad, and naturally they will not help Guo Jia say anything good.
In this era of closed news channels, public opinion can play a decisive role in the so-called life and death.
It's no wonder that scholars seek the comments of celebrities.
That's an advertising effect.
After the comments of Baume & Mercier, their fame will skyrocket and become more obvious.
Otherwise, who knows that you are Zhang San, Li Siwang, and Ermazi?
It seems that controlling public opinion is also an important tool.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia nodded secretly.
Mi's family is in Pengchengguo.
Peng Chengguo is the seat of Xuzhou.
Guo Jia and his entourage came to the door of the Mi family and were immediately shocked by the Mi family's magnificent house.
Before the Yellow Turban Uprising appeared, Xuzhou was a necessary place for the north-south trade route, and the economy was very prosperous.
You can see one or two from the magnificent house of the Mi family.
The Mi family's house is far better than Guo Jia's Taishou Mansion in Zhongshan County.
"Xu Shu under the command of Zhongshan Taishou visited the head of the Mi family."
Guo Jia politely sent someone to deliver the post.
said that all the way over, he used Xu Shu's name.
Do good deeds without leaving a name?
Leave your name and leave other people's names, so that scolding people can't scold Guo Jia's head.
"I'm sorry, the head of the family is entertaining VIPs, you guys wait first!"
The guards didn't even lift their eyelids.
In recent years, there are many dignitaries and nobles who come to visit the Mi family, and they will take a border county's Taishou subordinates in their eyes.
Guo Jia's face suddenly became a little unhappy.
These two bastards actually dared to look down on Xu Shu, and to look down on Xu Shu was to look down on him Guo Jia.
Just as Guo Jia was about to say something, Cai Yu suddenly lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Tell your young lady, even if Cai Yu of the Chen Liucai family comes!"
Hearing Chen Liucai's house, the two guards suddenly became smart, and their demeanor became respectful.
"Miss Cai, please wait a minute, the little one will report it!"
With that, he ran in with a puff of smoke.
