Chapter 48 Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong

Xuzhou, Xiapi City, Xiapi County.

"Patriarch, I still haven't found the source. The Zhen family's refined salt seems to have been conjured out of thin air!" Mi Zhu, who was facing the street, frowned and listened to the report of his servants.

It was a common thing for the Zhen family to open a salt farm. After all, they are big merchants covering the whole territory of Jizhou. They are known as one of the four major merchants in the Central Plains. is commonplace.

But the problem is that the Zhen family is coming aggressively this time. It seems that they want to monopolize the salt industry in Xuzhou and sell the refined salt directly at the price of ordinary salt. Their run on the salt farm in Xuzhou can't continue.

Originally, the salt and iron trade in Xuzhou had been divided up by several companies, but the Zhen family moved in strongly this time, and seemed to want to kick them all out of the game.

Zhenjia Salt Farm kept selling better-quality refined salt at a lower price than theirs. According to common sense, it was simply making money at a loss.

They even bought a lot of refined salt openly and secretly. They originally planned to suppress the Zhen family, but they didn't expect that the refined salt of the other party was like a bottomless pit, continuously produced.

It seems that they don't care about the price at all, and defeating them is the purpose of the other party.

He doesn't care about this. After all, this is Xuzhou, not Jizhou. He has nothing to do with the Zhen family, but if those Xuzhou aristocratic families can't do anything with the Zhen family, they are just joking. Collusion between officials and businessmen is not uncommon these days.

When necessary, I will just peel off the skin and kick you out.

And with Luoyang burning and the world in chaos, Mi Zhu felt that the Zhen family was not trying to monopolize, but was raking in money crazily, and the other party would definitely make a profit at the current price.

Hearing that the Patriarch of the Zhen family has prepared a dowry of 20 billion yuan for his youngest daughter, he is so proud.

He plans to make a big bet to find a good home for the Zhen family, and there is a high probability that it will be the new leader of Jizhou Muyuan.

Of course, these have little to do with him. What he cares about is where the salt of the Zhen family comes from. His businessman's instincts sense that if he can find the source of the refined salt of the Zhen family, he can also make a fortune for the future.

The Zhen family wants to make a big bet, and their Mi family has to find another family. Tao Qian used to be their supporter, but the problem is that now Tao Qian is old, and his sons are completely useless.

But no matter how much his servants searched, they could not find the source of refined salt.

Mi Zhuping retreated from the servant, picked up a pinch of the Zhen family's refined salt, and thought carefully.

"Sea...Qingzhou!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to mind, a possibility.

Before the Zhen family sold grain to Qingzhou on the sea road, he also sold a large amount and made a fortune, but now all the refined salt is transported by sea, so the origin of the refined salt points to one place, Qingzhou.

But what Mi Zhu didn't understand was that it was well known that Qingzhou was rampant with corruption and thieves, what happened to produce so much refined salt.

Although I don't understand, excellent businessmen never lack the spirit of adventure, let alone a rich man who is almost self-made like Mi Zhu.

Don't look at him making up the numbers among the four big tycoons, but this family property is all his hard work, which is much stronger than the others.

But now, Mi Zhu has developed a strong interest in Qingzhou, and has also seen the amazing benefits in it, so he did not hesitate to bring a boatload of grain and choose to go to Qingzhou himself.

When he arrived in Qingzhou, Mi Zhu found a place in no time. After all, compared with other places, Dongnae County has a completely different atmosphere.

And just the newly built road and the port under construction made him understand everything.

"This is Qingzhou!" Sitting in the carriage, Mi Zhu looked out the window. Although it was not as good as Xuzhou, it was Qingzhou, known as one of the worst big states.

If it weren't for the support of Beihai County in Qingzhou, it might have been regarded as a place of exile. After all, a place where bandits are rampant can easily destroy the prosperity into ruins. ruins.

Destruction is always easier than construction.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, landed on the carriage and stopped the carriage directly.

"Patriarch Mi, please get out of the car, Muzhou Mu wants to see you!"

The moment Mi Zhu stepped into Donglai County, he was basically exposed.

As far as the Yellow Turbans were concerned, how could the boat full of grain escape their eyes, after all, no one else was transporting grain to Qingzhou except the Zhen family.

After the county magistrate asked someone to cross-examine him twice, Mi Zhu's identity surfaced directly, and the clever county magistrate sent someone to notify Mu Yi directly.

It is a good thing for them that a wealthy businessman came to Qingzhou.

"State shepherd?" Mi Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly straightened his clothes and got out of the car.

"Dare to ask where the state shepherd is now!" Mi Zhu's tone was full of respect, but he was the state shepherd, and he was of the same status as Tao Qian.

Don't look at what he claims to be the four big businessmen, if the other party says a word, he may fall into a place of eternal doom. After all, if Tao Qian wants to deal with him, Mi Zhu, really only one word is enough.

"In Buqi County, someone will show you the way!" After Guan Hai left a sentence, he soared into the sky again.

When Mi Zhu saw Guan Hai flying up, he almost believed it instantly. He traveled all over the world and knew a lot of things. This flying sky is the standard configuration for internal Qi separation.

As for the existence of internal qi isolated from the body, they are all dragons and phoenixes among human beings, and only people with the status of Zhou Mu are worthy of driving such an existence to spread the word.

When Mi Zhu's carriage arrived in Buqi County, Mi Zhu, led by a small group of yellow scarf soldiers, arrived at the gate of the government affairs hall.

Just at first glance, Mi Zhu was sure who the state shepherd was. Although it was unbelievable, Mi Zhu's eyesight told him that the young man who seemed to be in his twenties was the state shepherd that Guan Hai was talking about.

Because at this moment Guan Hai was standing behind the young man, with an inadvertent expression of respect and admiration on his face.

"Xuzhou Mi Zizhong, I have met Zhou Mu!" Mi Zhu bowed down with the attitude that he would rather believe what he had than believe what he hadn't.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, I heard that Mi Zizhong from the Four Great Merchants came to Donglai, Yi specially prepared a banquet to invite you, please do not hesitate to enlighten me!" Mu Yi stretched out his hand to support Mi Zhu, with a sincere expression on his face.

Mi Zhu's face flushed a little, if Mu Yi was really the state shepherd, he would value him too much.

Mi Zhu followed Mu Yi into Mu Yi's residence with mixed feelings, and prepared a banquet just as Mu Yi said.

After seeing Mu Yi deliberately biting on the wall and the seal on the table, Mi Zhu confirmed Mu Yi's identity, that he was really the state shepherd, and also Qingzhou shepherd.

Although he had never heard of it, Mi Zhu had seen Tao Qian's seal, so he could tell the authenticity at a glance. It was because of the certainty that Mi Zhu was even more confused.

What is the reason why a state shepherd is so enthusiastic about him?
