"Your Highness is in a high position, and there are all kinds of opportunities, and I am afraid that it will never be possible to know so many things underneath, even if there is a brocade guard, but it may not be to tell His Highness everything in detail. But there is a very important matter, I am afraid that His Highness wants to know, but Jinyiwei did not report it. What I have done is only to use this incident to further stabilize the situation in Pengcheng. Mi Wei spoke eloquently, without a hint of fear.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan thought for a moment, and then said, "You go on." ”

Mi Wei nodded, "Woo", and then continued: "Since His Royal Highness has the intention of moving the capital to Luoyang, the dignitaries and dignitaries in Pengcheng are living in panic, and many of them have properties in Pengcheng, once the capital is moved, then they will not feel the importance of Pengcheng, and with the current prices, Pengcheng will inevitably fall sharply in the future, and the prices and land prices in Luoyang have risen, so many people are eager to sell their industries in order not to go bankrupt." It is for this reason that His Royal Highness issued an order prohibiting the sale of property in Pengcheng. However, after the promulgation of this order, although it played a certain deterrent role, everyone knew that His Royal Highness was resolute in moving the capital, so most of the people secretly sold the property in their hands, and these people joined forces to deceive the superiors and subordinates for the common good, in a vain attempt to hide from the world. ”

After a pause, Mi Wei continued: "Unfortunately, this matter happened to be bumped into by me. His Royal Highness is my uncle, and it is precisely because of His Royal Highness's existence that our Mi family will look a little noble, to put it bluntly. We are grasshoppers tied to a rope. All in one. One loss is lost, this matter is not only the matter of His Highness, but also the matter of our Mi family. If I inform Your Highness about this matter, it will inevitably involve many people and offend many people, including some people whom Your Highness relies on. So I thought about it, and then I made a decision, this time should be the time for our Mi family to come forward to do things for His Royal Highness. So. I used the wealth of the Mi family to secretly buy and sell the property. Up to now, I have acquired half of Pengcheng, but I did not buy the other half of Pengcheng, but was acquired by an unknown merchant in Guanzhong, if possible, I will not hesitate to buy the other half of Pengcheng from the merchant in Guanzhong, and when the time comes, my Mi family can use this matter to control the price. It will not cause price turmoil and unrest among the people. Wait until His Royal Highness officially moves the capital. My Mi family will dedicate the entire Pengcheng to His Royal Highness. ”

After Zhang Yan listened to Mi Wei's explanation, he was very sure of Mi Wei's approach, and his previous anger disappeared, and he said to Mi Wei in a calm tone: "I didn't expect you to be so young and able to do such a big thing, and you thought it through." The Mi family has the wealth of the country, the most fundamental reason why I can have today's achievements is because of your help, whenever I need money urgently, you always help me in the snow, spare no effort to help me tide over the difficulties, over the years, I have been very grateful to you. However, this time in the private acquisition of Pengcheng property, I will definitely not let your Mi family suffer. You don't need to buy the other half of Pengcheng, because that half of Pengcheng's property is currently in my hands. The so-called Guanzhong businessman was actually arranged by me privately. I have always known that there is a very strong competitor who has been secretly buying Pengcheng's property, I only know that the master's surname is Wei, but I don't know that it was you who secretly operated this matter. If I had known that this would be the result, I would have left this matter to you to do, and I would not have to be distracted to do it. As for the other half of Pengcheng's property that you acquired, I am ready to buy it all, and I will also return a lot of the money you paid by the Mi family, and I can't let you do this kind of loss-making business anymore, otherwise, when I need money urgently in the future, you won't be able to help me. ”

The words are not thorough, until this time, Zhang Yan, Mi Wei, and Mi Zhu made their words clear, it turned out that Zhang Yan and Mi Wei had been quietly engaged in a dark war, and the most comic thing was that the two of them didn't know who the other party was.

In fact, although Zhang Yan ostensibly banned the sale of Pengcheng's property without permission, he also knew that he couldn't stop it, so he came up with this method. When Zhuge Liang was investigating, he sent another cronie to secretly operate the matter to achieve the goal of a two-pronged approach.

And when Zhang Yan knew that there was another person who was buying Pengcheng's property, he didn't take any action, because in this way, it would reduce his financial pressure at that time, and if that person had bad intentions, then it would not be too late to clean him up later. But he could never have imagined that the person who coincided with him and took the same approach was his wife's nephew.

Now his worries can finally be relieved, and he also looks at Mi Wei differently, feeling that although Mi Wei is young, he is a talent, at least Mi Zhu has a successor, and with such a son, the future of the Mi family does not have to worry.

To be honest, over the years, the Mi family has paid too much for his hegemony, not only in terms of money, but also in a lot of manpower. Mi Zhu has both civil and military skills, has learned well, has a very high character, and does not lack business acumen, sitting in Xuzhou, Zhang Yan's base camp, and governing Xuzhou in an orderly manner. Mi Fang led the troops to fight, but died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country, even Mi Zhu's housekeeper Mi Qiang was entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Yan, and is currently serving in the Ministry of Commerce, serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce. Let him manage the business. The Ministry of Commerce is a department added by Zhang Yan in addition to the six ministries, mainly responsible for foreign trade, and the income from commerce and trade is not handed over to the treasury, but falls into Zhang Yan's pocket, so the Ministry of Commerce is only a false name, without real power, in fact, it is only the management of commerce and trade, and the Ministry of Commerce is no longer filed with the imperial court, which is equivalent to Zhang Yan's private financial source.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan has so much money to buy Pengcheng's property without using a penny from the state treasury.

For Zhang Yan, the Mi family is really the family he relies on the most, and the people of the Mi family are also very knowledgeable, never form gangs, never do evil things, in Xuzhou, and even the whole country. are well-known. Of course. This is also related to the personal personality charm of Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family. It is also related to family education, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan dares to boldly entrust the people of the Mi family with important responsibilities.

Mi Wei's approach, even Mi Zhu, who is a father, is ashamed of himself, although his son is only sixteen years old, but he thinks more deeply than himself, thinks thoroughly, and dares to practice. This thing. He had thought about it before, but he didn't dare to do it, because he was afraid of violating Zhang Yan's bottom line, so he categorically didn't dare to do it when Zhang Yan didn't open his mouth.

It's just that he is very curious, the financial power of the Mi family has always been in his hands, and the guards of the warehouse are all his henchmen, if Mi Wei moves his own money, it is impossible for him not to know.

With these questions. Mi Zhu Ben immediately said to Mi Wei: "Without my order, you won't get a penny at all." Where did you get so much money to buy the property in Pengcheng? ”

Not only Mi Zhu has doubts, but even Zhang Yan has the same doubts, if Mi Zhu doesn't know about Mi Wei taking money to buy the property, then Mi Zhu must have a problem, at least he is coaxing him, or maybe he secretly instructed Mi Wei to come forward, so as to show Mi Wei's cleverness. Therefore, after Zhang Yan heard Mi Zhu's questioning, it was certain that Mi Zhu could rule out suspicion, and Mi Zhu should never know about this matter, because he knew Mi Zhu very well, this person was a loyal and honest person, and he would definitely not do anything to deceive.

Mi Wei heard Mi Zhu's question, and noticed that Zhang Yan was also looking at him with puzzled eyes, so he said with a smile: "Father, I didn't use a penny of money to buy the property, but made a verbal agreement with people, and after agreeing on how much money, I waited until the day when the capital was really moved, and then I gave it to them." If it weren't for the good reputation of my Mi family, and I have a relationship with His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy so many properties. When it's time to move the capital, I'll tell my father about it, and he won't blame me. ”

Mi Wei's explanation suddenly made Zhang Yan and Mi Zhu breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out to be such a thing. Zhang Yan smiled more bitterly, he knew that the Mi family was involved, so he didn't have to spend so much effort to arrange a so-called Guanzhong businessman, just hand over this matter to the Mi family to do, and he wouldn't take out so much money at once, and it was money before goods.

However, now that the truth has been revealed, he no longer worries about this matter, at least Pengcheng will not fall into a state of chaos after moving the capital.

"Mi Wei, you have done a good job in this matter, and you are also very smart, although you are young, but from this matter, you can see that you are very capable, and there is a shortage of young people like you around me. There are no outsiders here, and my uncle asks you, are you willing to work by your uncle's side? Zhang Yan asked with a smile.

I thought that Mi Wei would accept it with joy, but I didn't want Mi Wei to shake his head as abnormally, and said: "As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, after my uncle moves the capital to Luoyang, the Son of Heaven will give it to my uncle, and then my uncle will be the emperor, doing things by the emperor's side, if you don't pay attention to it, you will die without a place to bury, your nephew is still very young, and you want to live for a long time, as long as your nephew has an uncle in her heart, and he is not by his uncle's side, he can do a little bit for his uncle." ”

At this time, Zhang Yan's face had become iron-blue, he looked at Mi Wei with a very vicious look, and asked angrily: "Mi Wei!" Did you tell you that the Son of Heaven wanted to give me Zen? ”

Mi Zhu and Mi Wei were the first time to see Zhang Yan so vicious, Mi Zhu hurriedly pulled his son Mi Wei to kneel on the ground, begging for mercy: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the son of evil speaks wildly, and please punish Your Highness!" ”

Mi Wei was also frightened, and thought to himself: "Uncle hasn't become an emperor yet, his temper is so weird, and it's uncertain, if he becomes an emperor in the future, then he will have it?" Fortunately, I had the foresight to choose not to be with my uncle, otherwise I wouldn't know how to die in the future......"

Zhang Yan's anger turned into anger, but when he saw Mi Zhu and Mi Wei kneeling on the ground tremblingly, after all, they were his relatives, and there were still many places to rely on the Mi family in the future, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

However, Zhang Yan was very angry with what Mi Wei said, so he asked: "Mi Wei, let me ask you again, where did you hear that the Son of Heaven was going to give me Zen when the capital was moved?" ”

Mi Wei lowered his head, not daring to speak, but his body was constantly trembling.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan said: "You just have to say that this king forgives you for your innocence!" ”

Mi Wei turned his head and glanced at Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu gave Mi Wei a look, signaling Mi Wei to speak. So, Mi Wei said slowly: "Qiyu...... Your Highness, I ...... I'm from...... ...... from what Chen Tai heard about"

"Chen Tai? But the son of Chen Qun, the head of the household department? Zhang Yan asked.

"It's him!" Mi Wei replied.

"Mi Wei, this matter is very important, you tell me the ins and outs of the matter, I will not only forgive you innocence, but also reward you, if you dare to say half a lie, I will cut off your head!" Zhang Yan said very sternly. (To be continued......)
