Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 521
Chapter 520: Qin Hao goes personally
The businessmen of this era seem to be beautiful, but their social status has always been in an embarrassing position where they are inferior to those of others.

Therefore, almost all businessmen, after having wealth, want to seek transformation into the officialdom, but very few succeed.

And the most successful of them is naturally the Qin family in Xianyang.

The Qin family was also a businessman, but after three generations of hard work, they finally transformed into a family of officials.

Today, Qin Wen, the head of the Qin family, is already the marquis of Jin and the state shepherd, and Qin Hao is also the champion and the future consort of the prince.

Qin Wenwen and Qin Hao are both vassals now, and there are not many comparable families with such power. Naturally, no one will mention the past that the Qin family was a merchant.

As for the Xuzhou Mi family, who used to be in the same ranks as the Qin family, and the Jizhou Zhen family and other major business families, they were not as lucky as the Qin family.

The head of the Mi family, Mi Zhu, exhausted his family and property to support Tao Qian in defending against the Yellow Turbans, but he had to get a clerical post without real power.

Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family in Jizhou, was even worse. Huangfu Song was able to persist in Jizhou for so long, and the Zhen family could not be blamed for it, but in the end they had to be a small Wuji county magistrate, and there was no hope of being promoted to the prefect at all. .

These two are the top business families of Dahan, but the road to transformation is still so difficult. It can be seen how important the family is to guard against businessmen. It is almost a miracle that the Qin family can stand out.

Qin Hao knew the temptation of officialdom to businessmen, but after all, the Mi family had such a large family business in Xuzhou, could it be possible to abandon all the industry and bring the family to Nanyang?
"Counselor, the Mi family has a great business and wants to give up their ancestral business and join the family? I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?"

The reason why Qu Yuan took refuge was because of the implantation of the system. Moreover, Qu Yuan could not represent the Mi family. The head of the Mi family was Mi Zhu.

Liu Ji smiled indifferently and said slowly: "My lord, it is precisely because the Mi family has a great career that it is more likely to be subdued."

"Oh?"

Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled randomly: "Would you like to hear the details?"

"My lord, the business of Xuzhou's Mi family is all over the Central Plains, and the forces of the Yellow Turbans are also in the Central Plains. In the past three years after the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was almost a fatal blow to the Central Plains businessmen, and Xuzhou happened to be surrounded by the Ming forces.

Qin Hao is not stupid, Liu Ji mentioned it a little, and he immediately figured out the key.

"So as long as the Mi family wants to continue to survive, they must leave Xuzhou. Mi Yuan is a member of the Mi family, and if the Mi family moves, Nanyang is naturally the best choice."

Speaking of this, Qin Hao was a little puzzled, and then asked: "But Xuzhou is a thousand miles away from Nanyang, and in the middle is Daming's territory. How can the Mi family come here?"

"Have you forgotten? The battle in Yuzhou has come to an end, and in the end there are only two results. First, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu completely defeated Li Mi; second, Li Mi couldn't bear the pressure and surrendered to the big Han."

Qin Hao suddenly realized.

"It turns out that as soon as the Yuzhou war is over, the Han forces in Xuzhou will border Yuzhou. Not only the Mi family, but other families will move into Guanzhong."

For the family, the place with the Yellow Turbans is the most dangerous place.

The Yellow Turban Uprising was too sudden, and many aristocratic families were unable to escape in a hurry, so most of them stayed in the local area.

Those who did not escape, most of them have been eliminated by the Yellow Turbans, and a small number of them resisted the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone in the noble family knows that this is not the way to go, and now that there is a chance to escape, it is natural to hide as far as they can.

After all, if the ancestral property is gone, you can still earn it back, but when a person dies, there is nothing left.

"If that's the case, let's add Mi Yuan to the ranks of recommending the prefect to show the importance that this marquis attaches to the Mi family." Qin Hao said solemnly.

A top-level business family can greatly help a force, such as the Qin family.

The reason why Yanmen County was able to develop was entirely supported by the Qin family caravan and a large number of businessmen behind it, so it was able to resist the Xiongnu for so long.

After Qin Wen served as Bingzhou shepherd, the business of Yanmen merchants also expanded to the entire Bingzhou, and behind the prosperity of Bingzhou, [-]% were built on business, which shows the importance of business.

Therefore, the Mi family and Qin Hao must fight for it, and using a prefect to win over is enough to show Qin Hao's sincerity.

Qin Wen now controls the lands of the five counties, and except for the appointment of Qin Jian as the prefect of Yanmen and Fan Zhongyan as the prefect of Wuyuan, the other three prefects have not yet been appointed.

Qin Hao naturally knew that his father was specially reserved for him, so he was going to stuff his own people over to expand his influence in the Jin army. At present, Wen Tianxiang and Qu Yuan, the two prefects are stable. of.

"My lord, if nothing else happens, the Marquis of Jin will be able to win the Hetao this time, and Bingzhou will focus on the governance of the Hetao in the next few years. The lord has to prepare early." Fang Xuanling said.

Hetao is a thousand miles of fertile soil. If you want to manage it well and eventually feed back the Jin army, you must invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the initial stage.

Nanyang Land is at the center of the world, and it is the gathering place of the world's caravans from south to north. If Qin Hao can operate it well, he can completely reduce the loss of managing the Hetao by half through business, but the premise is that he must have his own caravan. Just do it.

Qin Hao nodded solemnly, and said: "Soon, my mother will bring the backbone of the original Yanmen caravan to Nanyang, and based on this, the framework of the Nanyang caravan will be built, whether it is for Nanyang or Hetao. There are great benefits.”

"My lord is wise." All the advisors praised in unison.

Immediately after the meeting, all the advisors left, but Wei Zhuang broke in with a serious face, and walked quickly to Qin Hao's side.

"My lord, the big thing is bad, a large-scale prisoner of war riot broke out in Sizhou."

"what?"

Qin Hao suddenly stood up and quickly asked, "Didn't Lu Zhi have been strictly monitored? Why is there still a riot?"

"Someone should be planning behind it, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a large scale."

"Damn, mother should be in Sizhou."

Qin Hao's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his mentality became a little impatient.

Although Qin Hao has a very close relationship with the top officials of Daming, the key is that these low-level warriors don't know, and these low-level people can't wait to eat him. What if they found out the whereabouts of Qin Hao's mother?

Qin Hao couldn't hope that none of the prisoners of war with the Yellow Turbans would bring disaster to his family, nor could he pray that his mother would not encounter a riot. Just in case, he decided to send troops to respond.

"Send Huang Zhong and Xue Rengui to immediately lead Huben Ying north to meet the old lady. Forget it, Ben Hou also go there in person!"
