Chapter 511

"I need military equipment for at least 50,000 troops in the near future."

Mi Zhu heard this and looked at Jia Shisan on the side; Jia Shisan nodded slightly.

Mi Zhu immediately replied to Tao Zou Qian: "This is absolutely no problem! I will go to Jingzhou as soon as possible to negotiate this matter with the Governor of Jingzhou and provide goods to you as soon as possible."

"Haha! That's great!"

Tao Zou Qian laughed loudly sincerely upon hearing this: "Then thank you, Brother Brother Zizhong!"

"In the future, we must be close to each other, and we must not become estranged just because the distance is far, what do you think, Brother?"

"By the way! You don't have to move away and close all your industries here in Xuzhou, right?"

"I think it's completely fine to leave a portion!"

"Rest assured, I will definitely greet the people below and let them help watch, and absolutely won't let anyone make trouble, how about that?"

Tao Zou Qian felt that just verbal promises were not safe enough.

It is best for the Mi clan to leave some industries in Xuzhou, so that it is convenient for future contact.

He can certainly forge military equipment himself.

But the quality is really too different from what is produced on Su Xuan's side.

30 to 50 percent better, when put into the army, is a qualitative gap.

This time, when fighting Zang Ba, he had already felt the benefits of Su-style equipment in the army.

This time, no matter what, he must seize this opportunity to stabilize the channel for ordering Su-style equipment.

As for the previous resentment toward the Mi clan?

In the face of interests, these can all be ignored for the time being.

At worst, when he doesn't need the Mi clan in the future, he can find an opportunity to take revenge.

For now, cutting losses in time, and even gaining some benefits, is the most critical thing.

"This..."

Mi Zhu hesitated upon hearing this and looked at Jia Shisan on the side again.

Jia Shisan nodded affirmatively.

This attracted Tao Zou Qian's attention; he secretly noted Jia Shisan's appearance and prepared to investigate Jia Shisan's identity carefully later.

He estimated that this person should be Su Xuan's man.

In fact, the Mi clan's relationship with Su Xuan this time should also be due to this person's secret maneuvering.

After Mi Zhu got Jia Shisan's affirmation, he immediately replied to Tao Zou Qian: "Originally, I was prepared to move everything away and sell the shops and so on;"

"But since you said so, Governor, and I am indeed a bit reluctant to part with the business here in Xuzhou, then I will listen to you and leave a small portion of industries to continue operating!"

"Although I will basically not be in Xuzhou in the future!"

"But I will also leave my Mi clan's clansmen to operate here, and they can contact me at any time;"

"In the future, if you have anything to contact me, Governor, you can contact the Mi family steward I left in Xuzhou by then."

Anyway, he is also going to help Su Xuan continue to operate business affairs in Xuzhou and participate in the economic accounts.

Perhaps it is better this way.

Many things can be done openly in the future.

Tao Zou Qian doesn't understand many things in business.

Many business plans, even if done openly, Tao Zou Qian couldn't possibly understand.

"Haha! Then it's settled!"

Tao Zou Qian nodded with a smile.

That's good.

The Mi clan's influence in Xuzhou is not broken, so he can continuously purchase excellent military equipment from Jingzhou through the Mi clan.

At the same time, he can also use this to clamp down on the Mi clan to a certain extent.

If there is a need in the future, swallowing these industries left by the Mi clan in Xuzhou can also let him vent his anger a little, right?

Afterward, Tao Zou Qian chatted with Mi Zhu for a long time, and also tentatively chatted with Jia Shisan, Huang Gai, and others, wanting to probe some news about Su Xuan from their mouths.

But they were all deflected by Jia Shisan and Huang Gai like Tai Chi.

After the money, grain, and supplies that should be moved were moved, and Mi Zhu and the others were ready to leave, Tao Zou Qian simply sent Mi Zhu and the others out of the city all the way.

After they went south to Huaiyin City to board the ship, Tao Zou Qian stood on the south gate tower, looking at their receding backs, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father! Are we just watching them leave without doing anything?"

Tao Shang couldn't help but ask.

He was actually very reluctant to part with Mi Zhen.

He had seen Mi Zhen many times.

From the first time he saw her, he fell in love with Mi Zhen.

"Otherwise?"

Tao Zou Qian frowned and turned to ask Tao Shang: "What do you want to do? Take action against them? Do you think our current troops are really their match?"

"In addition, this is just an inconspicuous navy under Su Xuan!"

"Su Xuan has two more similar navies under his command;"

"In fact, there are more than one hundred thousand elite troops;"

"Have you considered the consequences of us taking action against them and going to war with them?"

Tao Shang was stunned upon hearing this, then his face turned pale, and his lips began to tremble slightly.

Clearly, he was frightened by the words described by Tao Zou Qian.

"Humph! Trash! Simply a disgrace to me!"

Tao Zou Qian was furious upon seeing this.

How did he give birth to such a coward despite his lifelong fame?

In fact, not just Tao Shang, the younger son Tao Ying is actually similar to Tao Shang.

They are all the same, difficult to achieve great things.

This also made Tao Zou Qian feel somewhat desperate about the future.

He wanted to achieve something in these chaotic times.

But his two sons are both mediocre talents, plain and unremarkable.

With such descendants, how can they inherit his career?

I'm afraid that in the end, his career will be a wedding dress for others.

Thinking of these, more than half of Tao Zou Qian's ambition disappeared.

But he was unwilling to just let it rot and do nothing.

He could only take one step at a time.

"Perhaps, can I find a way to give birth to a few more and train a few qualified successors?"

Tao Zou Qian even thought in his heart.

Although he is already incapable, if he finds a divine doctor, maybe he can still make an effort?

If you don't force yourself, you don't know how much potential you have.

Tao Shang: "..."

Facing his father's reprimand and looking at his father's gradually strange expression, Tao Shang could only lower his head in fear, not daring to face his father.

To make a long story short,

Mi Zhu and the others boarded the Jiangxia navy ship from Huaiyin City, then sailed east to the sea, then south, entered the Yangtze River estuary, and then sailed west along the Yangtze River to Xiangyang.

On the way,

"What a magnificent fleet of warships! Big brother, this is much stronger than the navy warships I have seen in the past! These should be the unique warships under General Su's command, right?"

Mi Zhen stood on the bow of the ship, looking around, full of curiosity, and said to Mi Zhu on the side.

"Should be!"

Mi Zhu nodded affirmatively: "I haven't seen such magnificent warships in the navies of other warlords!"

"The Governor of Jingzhou is truly extraordinary!"

Speaking of this, Mi Zhu looked at Mi Zhen and warned solemnly: "Little sister, remember, after you go to Jingzhou and marry the Governor of Jingzhou, you must not be willful, you must listen to the Governor of Jingzhou, and get along well with the other wives of the Governor of Jingzhou, understand?"

In the past, he and Mi Fang spoiled Mi Zhen, not letting this girl suffer any grievances or bitterness, which also made this girl sometimes become a bit willful.

But after becoming a wife, naturally, she cannot be like this.

If Su Xuan is displeased, that would be terrible.
