Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 9 This Mi Fang actually used a beauty trap on me?
  Gongan City is sixty miles away from Jiangling City.

Mi Fang, who claimed to be in charge of patrolling Nanjun, was drinking from a bottle with General Shiren stationed in Gong'an City.

"Brother Zifang, aren't you afraid that General Anhan will blame you for avoiding General Anhan?" Shiren was a middle-aged man with a ferocious face. The ferocious scar on his neck was left behind in a life-and-death fight on the battlefield.

Although Shiren's personal ability is not very strong, he is a veteran who followed Liu Bei from Youzhou to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei treated his old brothers in Youzhou very well, and it was enough to prove that he allowed Shiren to lead his troops to garrison a city alone.

however.

The only thing Liu Bei didn't expect was that even the old brother from Youzhou who had been with him for more than twenty years would not necessarily have his vision and ability change with the improvement of his status.

In the past, when Shiren did not lead the army, he would not have unnecessary ambitions and ideas.

Now that he had become more powerful, Shiren felt that he was becoming more powerful. He often felt that Guan Yu was just lucky enough to be appointed by Liu Bei to oversee the military affairs of Jingzhou.

There is a kind of blind confidence that "I can do whatever I want".

Although it sounded like he was worried about Mi Fang, Shiren's eyes and tone showed a bit more contempt for Mi Zhu.

Mi Fang held the wine bottle and sneered: "I am the governor of Nanjun, and it is my duty to supervise the counties. Even if my brother asks, I will defend myself like this."

"My brother came to Nanjun this time to negotiate for Zhuge Qiao, the eldest son of the military advisor general. He will return to Xichuan in a few days."

"When the time comes, I will pretend to be in a hurry to see my brother, and it will be enough to just talk about old times on the boat."

Shiren laughed: "Brother Zifang, you are plotting against your brother."

A hint of coldness flashed in Mi Fang's eyes: "My brother has his choice, and I also have my choice; I will not interfere with my brother's choice, but I don't want my brother to interfere with my choice."

"Since I have become the governor of Nanjun, I should have the final say in Nanjun's affairs."

"I can see my brother whenever I want."

Shiren poured a bottle of wine for Mi Fang and suddenly sighed, his tone a little more angry: "Brother Zifang doesn't have the final say in Nanjun now."

"In terms of place of origin, my lord and I are both from Youzhou, and Guan Yu is just a fugitive from Hedong; in terms of family background, brother Zifang is a wealthy businessman from the East China Sea, and Guan Yu is just a former member of my lord's family."

"I never thought that once Guan Yu gained power, he would look down on us and look down upon us. It's really unpleasant!"

As the drunkenness set in, Mi Fang's tone became rude: "Guan Yu? Haha, you're just flattering a villain. Do you think that calling the lord brother brother means he is really the lord's younger brother?"

"I, Mi Fang, even my sister is married to the lord, why should Guan Yu compare with me?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Cao Ren in Xiangfan is eyeing Nanjun, I would definitely ask the lord to let Guan Yu leave Nanjun!"

"I am the prefect of Nanjun, responsible for the military and political affairs of Nanjun. I, Mi Fang, should have the final say on all matters big and small in Nanjun!"

Shiren also took advantage of the wine and said: "Brother Zifang is right, you are the governor of Nanjun, so who does Guan Yu count? He is also paired with Brother Zifang, and you are yelling at me?"

"Hao Pu sent news from Lingling that the various tribes of Lingling Barbarians are starting to fight again. He hopes that we can sell some weapons to Lingling Barbarians."

"Those barbarians have a lot of high-quality leather goods. If we sell these leather goods to the merchants in Jiangdong, we will definitely make a lot of money."

"Selling the weapons to the Lingling Barbarians and letting the Lingling Barbarians fight among themselves, even if it reaches the Lord, we can argue that it is for the stability of Lingling."

"Selling fur goods to merchants in Jiangdong to make money from Jiangdong people can also be claimed to be following the example of Guan Zhong in waging commercial war against Jiangdong."

"At the same time, we will purchase new materials and build new ordnance to fill the military supply warehouse, and we can make another profit in the process."

"Brother Zifang, no one can find fault with your unique accounting method." Mi Fang is very confident in Nanjun's accounts. It is the Donghai Mi family's unique accounting method. Unless you are proficient in accounting, you will definitely look down upon it. There will be no accounting problems.

"How much ordnance does Lingling Man need this time?" Mi Fang was obviously not the first time he had dealt with this matter. While asking, he was also silently calculating how much he could earn this time.

Shiren made a gesture: "Five hundred bows, one hundred thousand arrows, three hundred ring-headed knives, and five hundred pairs of leather armor."

Mi Fang was startled: "Why are there so many this time?"

Shiren waved his hand nonchalantly: "A lot? Not much! The more we have, the more money we can make!"

"There are rumors that my lord defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong had an alliance with my lord to delimit the Xiang River,"

"What does this mean? It means that there will be no war in Jingzhou in a few years."

"If there is no war, Guan Yu will not be in charge of the munitions depot."

"Brother Zifang, don't you have the final say on how many soldiers and armor there are in this munitions depot?"

"If we wait until war breaks out again, we won't be able to earn this money."

Mi Fang hesitated.

In the past, although arms were sold to the Lingling barbarians, most of them were discarded old products.

And this time the demand is too great, so some new products will inevitably be used to meet Lingling Man's purchasing needs.

"Lingling Man is really fighting among himself?" Mi Fang had doubts in her heart.

Shiren patted his chest and assured: "Don't you feel at ease when I do something? If I hadn't inquired carefully, why would I have told you about this?"

"I'm not stupid enough to sell my armor to the Lingling Barbarians, and the Lingling Barbarians will attack us in turn."

"They are just asking for money, who would joke with their own lives?"

Mi Fang drank all the wine in the wine bottle: "As long as the Lingling tribe is fighting among themselves, I dare to sell not only 100,000 arrows, but 200,000 arrows. I'm afraid they can't afford it!"

Shiren laughed and poured wine for Mi Fang again: "Brother Zifang is so heroic! Come on, drink again!"

The wine is half full.

Mi Fang's cronies who stayed in Jiangling City also came to Gong'an City and told the truth about Zhuge Qiao's performance in Jiangling City.

"Zhuge Jin has very little ability. Even if his son becomes the heir of a military advisor, he will only be a mediocre person." Mi Fang's tone contained undisguised contempt.

Shiren had other ideas: "Although Zhuge Qiao is simple and dull, he is the heir of a military advisor after all; Zhuge Qiao came to Jiangling City to propose marriage, but he was looked down upon by Guan Yu."

"Privately, I think I can get along well with Zhuge Qiao. This kind of scholar is soft-hearted and has never seen much of the world. If I encourage him a few times, he will definitely start a dispute with Guan Yu."

"If even the military advisors criticize Guan Yu, how can my lord continue to have faith in Guan Yu?"

"By then, Brother Zifang may not only be the governor of Nanjun, but also the pastor of Jingzhou."

Mi Fang's eyes lit up, and she had some thoughts in her mind: "I heard that General Shi has acquired several beauties recently. I wonder if you are willing to part with them?"

Shiren understood: "Brother Zifang, is he trying to use a beauty trick?"

　Is anyone watching?
