Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 249 Migrating the Foundation (Part [-])
More than ten days later, Gao Cheng returned to Huai'an with a fleet of hundreds of boats and a dozen large ships. On the White Horse Lake, there was a gentle breeze and the water was light. Chen came to meet him by boat.

"Young master! You are finally back!"

Gao Tai has been guarding the family business in Huai'an, and he hasn't seen Gao Cheng for a long time. He was worried, and looked at Gao Cheng with his eyes, and found nothing unusual, so he was relieved.

Gao Cheng's foundation was tied to Gao Cheng, if something happened to him, the Huai'an Gao Clan, which was thriving at first, would collapse in an instant.So Gao Taiming knew that the young master was powerful, so he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Brother Ziming!" At this moment, a figure came out from the cabin. This person was wearing a bamboo hat. He was Mi Zhu who was supposed to be an official in Xiapi. Knowing the news that Gao Cheng was about to return, he quietly came to Huai'an.

Gao Cheng saw them coming to greet him, and quickly brought Xi Zhicai, Lu Dai and Zhang Fei to the opposite boat. After getting on board, he grabbed Mi Zhu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Zizhong! I never thought you would come to Huai'an in person. Thank you so much this time, if you hadn’t collected a large amount of food and grass for me, my plan to collect refugees and resettle them would have been impossible to implement!”

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "These are trivial things, Ziming doesn't have to be so polite, by the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the prefect of Lujiang County yet!"

Gao Cheng laughed. As his power continued to grow, Mi Zhu valued him more and more. Now the relationship between the two families is very close. Mi's caravans are all over the southeast. Channels to transport the spoils of Gao Cheng's extermination of bandit cottages and Zhang's caravans to various places for sale.Money, food, channels, and intelligence, these are the three great help that the Mi family gave Gao Cheng.

At the same time, the strength demonstrated by Gao Cheng leading the troops to destroy the Yellow Turban rebels also forced many aristocratic families who coveted the wealth of the Mi family to put away their methods. Once a power has a strong man in the super-mortal realm, it will become very troublesome .The strength displayed by Gao Cheng is enough to frighten many aristocratic families in Xuzhou.

However, as Gao Cheng went to Lujiang, the foundation in Huai'an was about to be relocated. Without Gao Cheng's strength to deter him, Mi's life in Xuzhou might be a bit difficult in the future.

Gao Cheng had already thought of this, feeling a little guilty in his heart.However, what needs to be done is still to be done. Even if he owes the Mi family something, he still has to relocate his foundation and shift his focus to Lujiang.

Then Gao Cheng introduced Xi Zhicai and Zhang Fei to Mi Zhu, and talked with each other for a while, then he let Lu Dai and Zhou Tai lead the fleet into the water village, and he led the others back to Huai'an on horseback.

After several months of repairs, Gao's mansion has become very elegant. The two girls, Gao Ying and Gan Yu, saw Gao Cheng's return, and immediately beamed with joy, and quickly sent someone to prepare a banquet to cleanse Gao Cheng and others.

In the hall, everyone knelt behind the wooden table, and each pretty maid brought melons, fruits and drinks. Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he saw the drinks, and he immediately picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass.Shouted: "Cheer up! These days, my old Zhang has been suffocated!"

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Yide is also a good wine person. I have some jars of good wine at my next home. I will send someone to bring them in a few days, and let Brother Yide taste the taste of my fine wine from Xuzhou!"

"This is good! Brother Mi is so refreshing. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me!" Zhang Fei laughed heartily when he heard that there was good wine, and his affection for Mi Zhu rose rapidly.

Gao Cheng knelt and sat on the head, seeing this scene couldn't help laughing, then he thought about the business, put down the wine bottle and said to Mi Zhu: "Zi Zhong, in a few days, I will go to Lujiang to take up my post, why don't you go with me too If I leave Xuzhou, only relying on the strength of the Mi family, I am afraid I will not be able to stop the joint suppression of Cao Bao and Zang Ba!"

Mi Zhu said: "Thank you Ziming for your kindness, but now Zang Ba is stationed in Kaiyang County of Langya Kingdom, and he has left Xiapi. Without Zang Ba, Cao Bao alone dare not fight me!"

Xi Zhicai didn't know the situation in Xuzhou for the time being, but only after listening to the two talking, did he understand Gao Cheng's situation in Xuzhou.

Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, although Mi Zhu was not good at government affairs and could not lead troops to fight, but he was proficient in business, and the Mi family was the most wealthy in the world, if he could follow him to Lujiang, he would get unimaginable benefits.It's a pity that Mi Zhu has no intention of leaving Xuzhou for the time being.After all, Xuzhou is the foundation of the Mi family.Once the foundation is shaken, the Mi family will be in great danger.

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly at this time, and said: "Brother Mi, the world is in chaos today. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world's tycoons have risen together, and families from all over the world are also constantly accumulating strength. Primary target!"

"Not long ago, the Yellow Turban rebels flooded into Pengcheng, which has already caused heavy damage to Xuzhou. If refugees flood into Xiapi next time, Xiapi will follow in the footsteps of Pengcheng. Everyone knows that the Mi family is rich. In times of war, no amount of money can be preserved!"

What Xi Zhicai said is the truth, the last time the Pengcheng Kingdom was in chaos, let the entire family in Xuzhou know that the current world is gradually chaotic, and all the families are accumulating strength to consolidate Wubao.There are also some people from poor families who are worried that the war may continue in Xuzhou. Many people have packed up their family businesses and have gone to Yangzhou to seek refuge.

If Gao Cheng hadn't appeared, people like Lu Dai, Xu Xuan, Chen Jiao, and Zhang Zhao would have settled down in Yangzhou by this time.

When Mi Zhu heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. What the other party said made his heart tremble. Once the state and county are in chaos, the rich businessmen will be the first to be hit.In peacetime, with Xuzhou's topography linking the north and the south, the Mi family would gain great benefits by laying their foundations here, but in times of war, Xuzhou, a battleground for military strategists, would become the tomb of rich merchants.

Xi Zhicai noticed his expression, and continued: "Lujiang River is located in the south of Huaihe River, and the south is Yuzhang County. With Huaihe River and Dajiang River as the natural barrier, no matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, it will not be affected. This is a good place to live and live. , Brother Mi can seriously think about it, relocating part of the foundation in advance can also avoid damage to the chaotic foundation in Xuzhou in the future! Of course, this is just my suggestion, Brother Mi can think about it before making a decision."

After Xi Zhicai got to know the Mi family, he attached great importance to the information on the caravan. If the Mi family had really joined Gao Cheng instead of this kind of cooperative relationship, Gao Cheng's power would have multiplied several times in an instant.At that time, not only Lujiang, but the entire Yangzhou will be a powerful force.

Mi Zhu pondered for a while, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "The military master Xi is very reasonable, but speaking of boasting, the Mi family's foundation is too big to be relocated if you want to, and Mr. Tao will never Watching helplessly as Mi Shi leaves Xiapi!"

"Well, after a few days, I will ask my second brother to come and let him go to Lujiang to temporarily transfer part of the foundation there! If there is chaos in Xuzhou as the military adviser said, I will go and join Brother Ziming!"

Hearing this, Gao Cheng immediately smiled and said, "That's fine, Zi Zhong can rest assured, with me in Lujiang, Zi Fang will never have any accidents!"

Mi Fang is still young, Gao Cheng doesn't expect him to have any ability, what he values ​​is Mi Fang's identity.As long as he is in Lujiang, his connection with the Mi family will not be interrupted.
