Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101
Yuan Xi broke the defense.

Damn businessman!
So sinful!

The land is rich and the bad is right, don't even think about running away!

Let me replace the people and punish you!
He felt his lips dry, "The five daughters of the Zhen family, each with so much dowry?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible."

"The old man took out all the money of the family, because the future of the Zhen family is all bet on the young master."

Yuan Xi thought in his heart that this was a little more reasonable. If it was true that every daughter could spend hundreds of millions of dollars for marriage, the Zhen family would have been wiped out by the princes long ago.

Speaking of the marriage between the two parties, it is true that each takes what they need.

The Zhen family needs a big tree, and Yuan Xi needs the contacts of the Zhen family's business.

Although there are too many factors involved in this marriage, is there any marriage in the world that is completely pure?
Speaking of which, how to define the so-called pure marriage?
Yuan Xi felt very satisfied, this was enough.

Mrs. Zhang welcomed Yuan Xi in, and the two sat facing each other. Mrs. Zhang said, "I heard that the young master will set off for Qingzhou in a few days. The war is fierce and dangerous. What can the Zhen family do?"

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "What the Zhen family has to do now is to open up the sea trade channels and first build a sea-going fleet."

"We will tentatively start with Jizhou Bohai County."

"To the north, if you attack Gongsun Zan, Youzhou Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Lelang counties, there will be ports for operation."

"In the future, Qingzhou will be conquered, and Donglai County will be to the south. I have already negotiated with my elder brother and won the port."

"Further to the south is Xuzhou. As long as these three places are opened up, we can control the commercial routes north of the Yangtze River."

This is Yuan Xi's plan. In the future, he will openly trade through the Zhen family business road, secretly build warships, control the coastal counties, and use the sea to control the land. This is the strategy he came up with!

At that time, there was no Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and there were many hostile forces harassing land routes. There were too many variables and transportation was extremely difficult. Only by relying on sea routes could we transport food and troops with the fastest speed and the highest efficiency!

Mrs. Zhang thought: "In front of Jizhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are blocked. There are many yellow scarves in Qingzhou. Xuzhou has just ceased fighting. It is possible to go to Langya Kingdom, but Xuzhou has always been hostile to Jizhou. What if our ships are detained?"

Yuan Xidao: "Madam, don't worry, Xuzhou will change hands in the next few months, and the relationship between Xuzhou and Jizhou should change by then."

There is evidence for what he said. Liu Bei likes to be conservative and develop in the early stage, and has a low offensive awareness. After becoming Xuzhou Mu, he has been trying to improve his relationship with Yuan Shao.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang replied: "Since the young master said so, it must be reasonable, and I will do as I do."

Yuan Xi wondered, "Why does Madam trust me so much?"

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised: "My lord doesn't know that my reputation has already spread in Yecheng and even Jizhou?"

Yuan Xi has been dealing with the locust plague affairs with Tian Feng these days, and he didn't pay attention to the news in Yecheng, so he wondered what happened?

After Zhang's explanation, Yuan Xicai understood that what he did in Youzhou and Xuzhou suddenly spread among the gentry in Yecheng.

Defeating the Southern Huns and Baima Yicong, repelling the Xuzhou army, and rescuing Cao Cao's family is roughly the same.

But some parts of the rumors are outrageous.

According to the rumors, Yuan Xi not only strategized, but also Yuan Xi rushed into the enemy's battle line alone, beheaded the enemy's generals, and established the victory with all his strength!

It was even rumored that he fought against four generals of the Xuzhou Army alone, repelling and killing them all!

Someone gave him a nickname, Fierce Tiger!

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded, isn't this too outrageous?

This is probably Yuan Tan letting his gentry create momentum for him, but do you want to brag so outrageously?

No wonder Yuan Shang looked at him with such hatred these days, it made him feel deeply threatened.

Although this was a strategy discussed with Yuan Tan to build momentum, Yuan Xi really wanted to say, I regret it now, I want to grow in a low-key way!

What should I do if I am targeted on the battlefield in the future?
Yuan Xi shuddered when he thought that he might be taken care of by the enemy general on the battlefield in the future.

This nickname is even more exaggerated. Who is so talented that he became attached to the tiger?
Hidden tiger is not enough, how about a fierce tiger?

Forget it, go home and take the little white tiger.

Thinking back, Yuan Xi wanted Wu Zhao to restore her status and give her a title, but Wu Zhao was always unwilling, mainly because she felt that she was a kfu.

Once she was in a hurry at night and said that as long as she didn't marry, she wouldn't beat Yuan Xi.

It's not easy for Yuan Xi to explain to her that these are all nonsense, so he can only take his time.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know Yuan Xi's flashing thoughts at this moment, so she said to herself: "Young master is now becoming more and more famous in Yecheng, and everyone praises that the tiger father has no dogs."

"But the old man is worried, the third son Yuan will never let it go."

"According to the time, the Yuan Mansion should have given the prize to the Zhen Mansion long ago, but until now, there is no news."

Yuan Xi knew that Liu's [-]% of the troubles were behind the scenes, because Liu Li required the consent of both parents.

In particular, Mrs. Liu had to sign the marriage certificate herself. If she delayed, there was really nothing she could do.

If it really doesn't work, at the end of the day, I can only think of a way to adopt. At that time, Yuan Ji's branch will be dead, and I will have the final say on the marriage.

He said in a deep voice, "I'll wait until I come back to discuss this matter. This time, I want to ask Madam, I have temporarily appointed the prefect of Zhuo County, would Lord Zhen Yaolang follow me?"

"But there are Gongsun Zan soldiers and horses everywhere in Youzhou, I can't guarantee absolute safety."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment. Of the current male members of the Zhen family, except for the two sons who died young and left the youngest son, Zhen Yao is the only adult.

If something really happened, how could she be worthy of the dead Zhen Yi?
Seeing Zhang's hesitation, although Yuan Xi felt that this was human nature, it seemed that Zhang had a lot of insight in business, but he lacked decisiveness when it came to the future of the family.

He was waiting patiently, but he heard a cough from behind the screen of the side door, and a clear and beautiful voice sounded.

"My concubine has something to say to my mother."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mi'er can come out and meet you."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that Zhen Mi had already been listening.

After a while, Zhen Mi's pretty face flushed slightly, she walked out slowly with her head down, saluted Yuan Xi, "I've seen you, my lord."

She was wearing a big red jacket today, short at the top and long at the bottom, with a narrow skirt and large sleeves. The hem of the swirling skirt dragged on the ground, like a swallowtail, making her figure even more slender and attractive.

Yuan Xi thought to himself that Zhen Mi really likes to wear red, and immediately replied: "I've seen girls."

After Zhen Mi sat next to Mrs. Zhang, she said, "I have some ideas that I can't express, and I hope my mother will allow it."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Just say it."

She smiled wryly and explained to Yuan Xi: "I'm ashamed to say, Mi'er has a lot of ideas about the Zhen family's affairs over the past few years."

"Just because Ding Duo, the son of the Zhen family, passed away early, and can only temporarily rely on widows and orphans to run the family, it is really a shame to the ancestors."

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Women may not be inferior to men, Madam is humble."

After hearing this, Zhen Mi's eyes flashed, and she said softly, "Thank you, Young Master, for your compliment."

She didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "According to my concubine's wishes, third brother should leave as soon as possible, preferably within a few days."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shi was surprised, but Yuan Xi raised his head.

Zhen Mi said bluntly: "Because the third brother has become the weakness of the Zhen family and the young master."

"The third brother is under the third son as a subordinate, and he may be sent to a more dangerous place at any time, and he may be used as a condition to threaten the Zhen family and the son to make concessions."

"So the current situation of the third brother is already holding back the Zhen family and the young master, and he must leave as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the third brother may become a victim of the struggle between the two sons."

"Mum, the son is here today to point out the way for the third brother to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."

"No matter how dangerous Youzhou is, at least you won't be stabbed in the back."

"If this opportunity is missed, the young master will go to Qingzhou to fight, and there will be no one in Yecheng to restrain the third young master. I'm afraid that the third brother will be in danger!"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi praised: "The girl is smart, that's why I came here."

Mrs. Zhang was sweating profusely, and immediately bowed: "I am stupid, so I woke up now, and I hope you can save me."

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Everyone is in the same boat now, the Zhen family is safe, and it is closely related to my future foundation. I will definitely not see death without saving them."

"Since Madam agrees, I will issue a call-up order when I go back, and I will transfer Brother Zhen to Rongcheng, Zhuo County, as the county magistrate."

Zhen Mi also bowed: "It depends on you, the Zhen family will move north as soon as possible, away from Yecheng."

Yuan Xiqi said: "The aristocratic families are betting on both sides, just like Xun Chen is in the Yuan family, and Xun Yu is in Cao Cao. Each is the master, and everyone can accept it."

"Why does the girl bet heavily on me alone?"

Zhen Mi said softly: "Although that's the case, as the lord, you must feel uncomfortable, right?"

Yuan Xi thought the same, except for Liu Bei, the other families who split their bets, the results were not very good.

On the surface, the lord wants to be generous and tolerant, but I don't know what will happen in private.

He said in a deep voice: "People do not disappoint me, and I will not disappoint others."

After Zhen Mi heard this, she smiled, "My concubine will definitely remember what you said, sir."

Zhen Mi's face was so eye-catching that Yuan Xi was in a trance for a moment.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, in the prime of her life, is still in the most beautiful and splendid age of her life, but she is already thinking about the future of her family.

He would not be hypocritical, asking Zhen Mi if she was wronged by marrying me.

Although he felt that he was an ordinary person, if Zhen Mi married him, he would prove that it was the most sensible choice.

He stood up and said, "In that case, I will take my leave."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Mi'er sent you off to the young master."

The two walked side by side in the mansion road, and the servant girls followed from afar.

Zhen Mi suddenly spun around on the spot, her skirt flew up like a lotus flower in the wind, "Don't blame me, my lord, it's not proper etiquette."

"There are no rules in our family, and my mother spoils me. If you feel bad, I will meet you next time."

Yuan Xi shook his head and said with a smile, "No, that's pretty good."

"Life is born in the world, it is nature to seek freedom, why should you restrain yourself."

Zhen Mi laughed: "A few days ago, I heard the young master talk about the affairs of Youzhou, and I really wanted to see it with my own eyes."

Yuan Xi also laughed and said, "Youzhou is no safer than Jizhou, so you trust me?"

Zhen Mi jumped on tiptoe for a few steps, then turned her head and said, "Young master saved my sister, but refused my offer to be a concubine. You didn't take advantage of others' danger, you are a gentleman."

Yuan Xi thought no, I'm a beast, you just don't know it.

Zhen Mi opened her arms and turned around again, her wide sleeves slammed loudly, and the golden phoenix on her head seemed to fly up, "This concubine in the deep house and courtyard has had enough, if you marry the son, of course the son will go, and the concubine will follow." There."

Looking at Zhen Mi's dazzling smile, Yuan Xi thought to himself that she really is a little girl who doesn't know how to feel sad.
