The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 761 Chapter 760
"Your Highness is in a high position and has a lot of things to do every day. I'm afraid you will never know so much about the things below. Even if there are Jin Yiwei, they may not report everything to His Highness. But there is one very important thing, I'm afraid it is Your Highness wanted to know, but Jin Yiwei didn't report it. What I did was to use this incident to further stabilize the situation in Pengcheng." Mi Wei talked eloquently, without any hint of fear.

Zhang Yan thought for a while after hearing this, and then said, "Go on."

Mi Wei nodded, said "here", and then continued: "Since His Highness wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, the dignitaries in Pengcheng have lived in panic, and many of them have owned property in Pengcheng. Industry, once the capital is moved, you will not feel the significance of Pengcheng, and based on the current prices, Pengcheng will inevitably drop sharply in the future, while Luoyang's prices and land prices will rise, so many people They are all eager to sell their properties so as not to go bankrupt. It is for this reason that His Highness issued an order prohibiting the private sale of properties in Pengcheng. However, after the order was promulgated, although it played a certain deterrent effect, everyone Knowing that His Highness is determined to move the capital, most people secretly sold their property, and these people joined forces to deceive others for the common benefit, trying to hide the truth."

After a pause, Mi Wei continued: "Unfortunately, I just ran into this incident. Your Highness is my uncle, and it is precisely because of His Highness that our Mi family looks a bit extravagant. To put it bluntly, , we are grasshoppers tied to the same rope. We are both prosperous and wealtered. This matter is not only the matter of His Highness, but also the matter of our Mi family. If I tell His Highness about this matter, it will inevitably involve many people , will also offend many people, some of whom His Highness relies heavily on. So I thought about it, and finally made a decision. This time should be the time for our Mi family to come forward to do things for His Highness. Therefore, I Use the wealth of the Mi family to secretly buy and sell properties. Up to now, I have bought half of Pengcheng, but I did not buy the other half of Pengcheng, but was bought by an unknown Guanzhong businessman. If possible If so, I will buy the other half of Pengcheng from the merchants in Guanzhong at all costs. At that time, my Mi family can use this matter to control prices, so as not to cause price turmoil and people's unrest. Wait until His Highness officially moves the capital , my Mi family will dedicate the entire Pengcheng to His Highness."

After Zhang Yan listened to Mi Wei's explanation, he was very sure of Mi Wei's actions, and his previous anger dissipated. It's a big deal, and it's very thoughtful. The Mi family has a wealth that can rival a country. The most fundamental reason why I can achieve today's achievements is because of your help. Whenever I need money urgently, you You always help me when the need arises, and spare no effort to help me tide over the difficulties. Over the years, I have always been very grateful to you. However, this time, in the private acquisition of Pengcheng's property, I will definitely not let your Mi family suffer. The other half of Pengcheng you also There is no need to buy it, because the half of Pengcheng’s property is currently in my hands. The so-called Guanzhong merchant was actually arranged by me privately. I have always known that there is a very powerful competitor who has been secretly acquiring Pengcheng’s property , I only know that the owner's surname is Wei, but I don't know that you are the one who secretly manipulated this matter. If I had known this would be the result, I would have given you full power to do this matter, and I wouldn't have to share it with you. I will do this with my heart. As for the other half of the property in Pengcheng that you bought, I am going to buy it all. Do this kind of loss-making business, otherwise, when I need money urgently in the future, you will not be able to help me."

It was not until this time that Zhang Yan, Mi Wei, and Mi Zhu made their words clear. It turned out that Zhang Yan and Mi Wei had been quietly engaged in a secret war. The most comical thing was that the two Individuals don't even know who the other party is.

In fact, although Zhang Yan apparently banned the private sale of Pengcheng property, he also knew that he couldn't help it, so he came up with this method.When Zhuge Liang investigated in person, he sent another confidant to secretly operate the matter to achieve the goal of a two-pronged approach.

And when Zhang Yan knew that there was another person who was buying Pengcheng's property, he didn't take any action, because in this way, his financial pressure would be relieved at that time. If that person had ulterior motives, it would not be too late to deal with him in the future .But he never imagined that the person who coincided with him and adopted the same method turned out to be his wife's nephew.

Now his worries can finally be relieved, and he also treats Mi Wei differently, thinking that although Mi Wei is young, he is a talented person, at least Mi Zhu has a successor, with such a son, the future of the Mi family will not have to worry up.

To be honest, the Mi family has paid too much for his hegemony these years, not only in terms of money, but also a lot of manpower.Mi Zhu has both civil and military skills, great talent, high moral character, and no lack of business acumen. He sits in Xuzhou, Zhang Yan's headquarters, and manages Xuzhou in an orderly manner.Mi Fang led the army to fight, but died in the battle and sacrificed her life for the country. Even Mi Zhu's housekeeper, Mi Qiang, was entrusted with an important task by Zhang Yan. He is currently working in the Ministry of Commerce as the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce.Let him run the business.The Ministry of Commerce is a department added by Zhang Yan in addition to the six departments. It is mainly responsible for foreign trade. The real power is actually just the management of commerce and trade, and the Ministry of Commerce is no longer on the record with the court, which is equivalent to Zhang Yan's personal financial source.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan has so much money to buy Pengcheng's property without using a penny of the treasury.

Now, there is another Mi Wei in the Mi family. For Zhang Yan, the Mi family is really the family he relies on the most, and the members of the Mi family are also very knowledgeable, never form cliques, never do evil things, It is well-known in Xuzhou and even the whole country.Of course, this is also related to the personal charm of Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, and also related to the family education, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan dares to entrust important tasks to the members of the Mi family with confidence.

Mi Wei's actions made even Mi Zhu, who is his father, feel ashamed. Although his son is only 16 years old, he has far-reaching and thorough thinking than himself, and he dares to practice.He had thought about this matter before, but he never dared to do it, because he was afraid of violating Zhang Yan's bottom line, so he did not dare to do it without Zhang Yan's instructions.

However, he was very curious, the financial power of the Mi family has been held in his hands all the time, and the people guarding the warehouse are all his confidantes, if Mi Wei moved his own money, it is impossible for him not to know.

With these questions in mind, Mi Zhu turned to Mi Wei and said, "Without my order, you would not get a cent of the money at all. Where did you embezzle so much money to buy Pengcheng's property?"

Not only Mi Zhu has doubts, but even Zhang Yan has the same doubts. If Mi Zhu doesn't know about Mi Wei buying property with money, then there must be something wrong with Mi Zhu. At least he is coaxing him, or secretly instructing Mi Wei to come forward. , in order to express Mi Wei's intelligence.Therefore, after hearing Mi Zhu's questioning, Zhang Yan can be sure that Mi Zhu can be ruled out as a suspect, and Mi Zhu should never know about this matter, because he knows Mi Zhu very well. What deceitful things will be done.

Mi Wei heard Mi Zhu's question, and noticed that Zhang Yan was also looking at him suspiciously, so he said with a smile: "Qi father, I didn't use any money to buy the property, but bought it with you." The people make a verbal agreement, and after agreeing on the amount of money, I will wait until the capital is really moved, and then I will give it to them. If it weren't for my Mi family's good reputation and my relationship with His Highness, I am afraid I would not be able to buy it. So many properties. When the time comes to move the capital, I will tell my father about it, and my father will definitely not blame me."

Mi Wei's explanation made Zhang Yan and Mi Zhu heave a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the case.Zhang Yan smiled wryly. If he had known that the Mi family was involved, he wouldn't have to spend so much effort arranging a so-called Guanzhong merchant. He would just hand over the matter to the Mi family. It is not possible to spend so much money all at once, and it is still money first and then goods.

However, now that the truth has come to light, he is no longer worried about this matter. At least Pengcheng will not fall into chaos after moving the capital.

"Mi Wei, you did a good job in this matter, and you are also very smart. Although you are young, it can be seen from this matter that you are very capable, and there is a lack of young people like you around me. People. There are no outsiders here, uncle asks you, are you willing to work by uncle's side?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.

I thought that Mi Wei would accept it with joy, but I didn't expect that Mi Wei shook his head as usual, and said: "As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. After my uncle moves his capital to Luoyang, the emperor will surrender to his uncle. At that time, my uncle will be the emperor, and he will work by the emperor's side. If he is not careful, he will die without a place to bury him. My nephew is still very young and wants to live for a long time. Those around me can do a little bit for my uncle."

At this time, Zhang Yan's complexion had turned ashen, he looked at Mi Wei with a very fierce look, and asked angrily: "Mi Wei! You told you that the emperor wanted to give up to me?"

It was the first time for Mi Zhu and Mi Wei to see Zhang Yan get angry so ferociously. Mi Zhu hurriedly pulled his son Mi Wei to kneel on the ground, begging for mercy: "Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking such wild words, Your Highness please punish me!"

Mi Wei also had a look of panic on his face, thinking to himself: "Uncle hasn't become the emperor yet, his temper is so weird, and the weather is unpredictable. If he becomes the emperor in the future, then it's okay? Fortunately, I have the foresight to choose not to be by my uncle's side. Correct, otherwise, I won’t even know how to die in the future..."

Zhang Yan's anger turned to anger, but when he saw Mi Zhu and Mi Wei kneeling on the ground tremblingly, they were his relatives after all, and there were still many places to rely on Mi's family in the future, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

However, Zhang Yan was very angry at what Mi Wei said, so he asked: "Mi Wei, let me ask you again, where did you hear that the emperor will give up to me when the capital is moved?"

Mi Wei lowered his head, not daring to speak, but his body was trembling constantly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan said, "Just say, the king will forgive you for not guilty!"

Mi Wei turned his head and glanced at Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu gave Mi Wei a wink, indicating that Mi Wei could speak.Therefore, Mi Wei said slowly: "Qi... Your Highness, I... I heard... from Chen Tai..."

"Chen Tai? Is he the son of Chen Qun, Minister of the Household Department?" Zhang Yan asked.

"It's him!" Mi Wei replied.

"Mi Wei, this matter is very important. Tell me the whole story. I will not only forgive you, but also reward you. If you dare to speak half a lie, I will cut off your head." !” Zhang Yan said very sternly.
