Chapter 321
Of course, in truth, Jia Jia Shisan could have chosen to sign a spiritual contract with them before revealing anything.
But Jia Jia Shisan felt there was no longer any need.
Once they joined, they would naturally come to know.
There was no need to rush it at this moment.
"What? A rapid communication method? What kind of method could possibly be this fast?"
"If this were used to transmit commercial intelligence or even military reports, then..."
Mi Fang was shocked upon hearing this and could not help but exclaim immediately.
"Second Brother!"
Mi Zhu, standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat; he hurriedly interrupted Mi Fang and gave him a warning look.
Mi Fang also realized the gravity of the situation and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to continue speaking.
This clearly concerned Su Xuan's secrets.
Seeing that Mi Fang had also realized the issue, Mi Zhu felt much more at ease, then turned to Jia Jia Shisan with an apologetic smile: "My apologies! We were reckless! We shouldn't have asked about this!"
"It's fine!"
Jia Jia Shisan smiled and waved his hand: "We'll be family soon anyway! By then, you will truly understand this secret that is no longer a secret."
"So, what is your answer?"
"Naturally, we agree! After all, this was something we initiated ourselves!"
Mi Zhu agreed immediately, then "swish, swish!" signed his name and Mi Zhen's name on the marriage contract, and stamped it with his private seal.
It was done in duplicate; he kept one copy for himself and handed the other to Jia Jia Shisan.
"Very good!"
Jia Jia Shisan took the signed marriage contract with satisfaction, carefully put it away, and looked at Mi Zhu and Mi Fang with a smile: "With this, the matter is completely settled!"
"You must hurry and prepare!"
"After all, it will only be two or three days before the Jiang Jiang Xiajun navy arrives; we cannot have them waiting here indefinitely!"
"Otherwise, it is easy to make Sun Sun Jian, Liu Biao, and even Lord Yuan Shu nervous, which could easily lead to problems."
Of course, even if they were given several times the courage, they likely wouldn't dare to clash with Su Xuan's navy for the time being.
The main reason is that Su Xuan's navy has been developing for a long time, has had long training, and the technology of the warships is incomparably advanced.
Sun Sun Jian and the others have basically only just begun to assemble their naval forces.
In this regard, they are completely unable to compare with Su Xuan's navy.
But if they stay in Xu Province for too long, the south will make them overly nervous and prone to over-interpretation.
If they were to unite directly against the Jiang Jiang Xiajun navy, that would be bad.
"What? Is it really that fast?"
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were both stunned upon hearing this, then asked in surprise.
"There's no help for it! My lord has never liked to drag his feet when doing things!"
Jia Jia Shisan shrugged and continued: "Besides, aren't you also in a hurry to escape the cage of Xu Province and go to Jingzhou to develop?"
"Taking advantage of the fact that most of Tao Zou Qian's energy is currently tied up by Zang Ba, moving early is the right path;"
"Otherwise, if you delay, once Tao Zou Qian reacts, he might not necessarily refrain from playing dirty tricks or directly intercepting and seizing part of your assets!"
Never underestimate the greed of a warlord!
Admittedly, Tao Zou Qian likely wouldn't dare to offend Su Xuan too much.
But if you, Su Xuan, are going to dig out the corner of his Xu Province and take away this massive amount of wealth, how could he not take some action or retaliate?
That is impossible.
Even an honest man has his limits! Not to mention that Tao Zou Qian is far from being an honest man.
This is actually a very ambitious old fox.
Otherwise, he could not have taken advantage of the chaos to become the master of Xu Province.
The only pity is that this person is too old, and his descendants are not promising and lack talent.
Furthermore, his own talent is also limited.
Otherwise, he might not have failed to become a powerful warlord in the future.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang frowned upon hearing this, and said solemnly: "It really is! With Tao Zou Qian's temper, it is indeed impossible for him to sit by and watch us migrate our clansmen and property away; he has been coveting our family's property for more than a day or two."
"However,"
At this moment, Mi Zhu said with some difficulty: "If it's only two or three days, even if I act with all my might and abandon some small profits, it is impossible to completely clear out the assets here and finish the migration matters!"
The time is too short.
But he also kept in mind the threat from Tao Zou Qian that Jia Jia Shisan mentioned, and for a moment, he felt a bit restless.
He couldn't help but look at Jia Jia Shisan and ask: "Since Brother Jia Shisan proactively brought this up, I wonder if there is any way to help us finish dealing with the fixed assets as quickly as possible and help us complete the migration?"
"If you are willing to help, I am willing to give a portion of our shops and land to the Governor of Su for free!"
"No!"
Suddenly, Mi Zhu seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and looked directly at Jia Jia Shisan: "Brother Jia Shisan, we were already planning to hand over most of our family wealth to the Governor of Su as a dowry for my little sister, and also to express the support of our Mi clan for the Governor of Su;"
"If I directly hand over all our shop and land deeds in Xu Province to you this time!"
"At the same time, most of the actual money, grain, and even family servants will be transferred to you for you to handle, how about that?"
Since it was all going to be offered up anyway, why not do it now?
Doing it this way now could save himself a lot of trouble.
At the same time, it could further win Su Xuan's favor, right?
"Uh..."
Jia Jia Shisan was slightly stunned upon hearing this; he didn't expect Mi Zhu to be so decisive.
In fact, he had originally prepared to let the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce in Xu Province and the secret guards help handle these things.
He didn't expect Mi Zhu to be bolder than him and choose to give it all away directly.
A grand gesture!
Great courage!
"Good!"
Jia Jia Shisan clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Brother Zizhong has great courage! To be so willing!"
"I can agree to this on behalf of my lord!"
"But rest assured, my lord never treats those who have rendered meritorious service unfairly!"
"You will not regret today's actions."
"The wealth you offer will be calculated as merit points once you go to Jingzhou; at that time, you can use them to exchange for many good things you have dreamed of!"
"Hmm?"
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were slightly stunned upon hearing this, clearly not understanding.
Mi Fang couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what these merit points are? And what can they be exchanged for?"
He was very curious.
Mi Zhu was the same.
"It's not convenient to say for now!"
Jia Jia Shisan shook his head with a smile: "This is a secret even more advanced than the communication method; you will have to wait until you go to Jingzhou and meet my lord to understand!"
"Believe me, you will definitely not be disappointed or regret it when the time comes!"
"My lord has always been very generous to his own people!"
"Of course,"
Speaking of this, Jia Jia Shisan added: "It would be a pity to have you completely abandon your foundation and business in Xu Province!"
"That way, all your connections in Xu Province would be wasted!"
"That would be too much of a pity!"
"How about you leave some shops, move them into the shadows, and continue to send a certain number of people to manage them?"
"In this way, you can continue to maintain your business in Xu Province and continue to earn profits;"
"It can also continue to contribute to my lord's infiltration of Xu Province."
