Chapter 197

A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.

Although his Mi family was a wealthy giant in Xuzhou, with ten thousand guests, and businesses involving Hebei, the Central Plains, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong, with countless assets,

they were of merchant origin, their status was not high, and it was difficult to break through further.

Although Tao Qian intended to recruit him as a Bieja, Mi Zhu did not think highly of Tao Qian.

Tao Qian was old, his successor could be said to have no highlights, and Xuzhou was a place of four battles; it was very likely that the flames of war would be everywhere by then.

Moreover, Tao Qian was just a person who guarded the city; he was not a wise lord at all.

This time, Mi Zhu took the initiative to take on the task of delivering grain just to see Liu Bei, who had recently shaken the Nine Provinces with his prestige.

After meeting, Mi Zhu knew he had found him. Hearing the experiences of Zhang Fei and the others, he was even more certain that Liu Bei was the wise lord he was looking for.

Liu Bei was observing Mi Zhu's expression while urging him to drink, thinking to himself,

"My cheap brother-in-law, I'm afraid he has realized it!"

The Mi family's business was all over the world. Liu Bei wanted to establish an intelligence network for the world through the Mi family so that his grasp of the situation would be more accurate.

For example, if the price of grain rose by a few percent in a certain month, it was very likely that warlords were secretly purchasing grain, intending to use troops.

In the later stages of war, it was not only a battle of generals and soldiers, but increasingly reflected in economic and logistical aspects. If soldiers had no grain to eat, let alone fighting, they might even rebel.

Otherwise, Boss Cao's grain officer would not be more dangerous than the position of a certain country's president!

Liu Bei just wanted to recruit Mi Zhu,

but discovered that Mi Zhu's eyes were red.

"Brother Zizhong, what is wrong with you?"

Mi Zhu wiped away tears.

"Lord Xuande, I thought of my little sister Mi Zhen at home. My little sister is beautiful in both appearance and character, a beauty who closes the moon and shames the flowers, and is the number one beauty in Xuzhou..."

Liu Bei??

Zhang Fei??

As this Mi Zhu cried, why did he start praising his sister!

The audience in the live broadcast room was also confused.

"Damn, it was always Liu Bei crying before; this Mi Zhu's crying didn't give me any psychological preparation."

"And, it's a bit inexplicable. Why Versailles his own sister while crying?!"

"Number one beauty in Xuzhou? I really want to see it."

Mi Zhu continued,

"Unfortunately, my little sister has too much ambition, saying she wants to marry a great hero who stands tall and upright, and must also be handsome, otherwise she will never marry for a lifetime."

"Our parents have passed away, and we usually love this little sister the most. What should I do?"

Mi Zhu looked around, his gaze landing on Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't look at me, my lady is very fierce! I can't help you!"

Mi Zhu?! This Zhang Fei was quite clever just now, why is he acting stupid again? Or is he feeling good about himself?

Liu Bei smiled bitterly. He had previously recruited a wife with a radish at Cai Yong's mansion.

This Mi Zhu also came with a radish to recruit a brother-in-law; it was truly...

Xu Shu hurriedly said,

"Brother Zizhong, my lord is the hero who shakes the Nine Provinces, and he is so handsome; your sister will inevitably be enamored!"

Mi Zhu seemed to wake up and slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Oh my, why didn't I think of that? Yuanzhi's reminder is right!"

Liu Bei??

The live broadcast room exploded instantly.

"Go, Mi Zhu, can you act a bit more realistically? It's too insincere!"

"Exactly, I'm so embarrassed that I've clawed out a two-bedroom and one-living-room apartment!"

"Compared to the Big-Eared Thief's acting, I give Mi Zhu 3 points! Can't give any more!"

"This Mi Zhu is a wealthy giant in Xuzhou, how is he so keen on sending his sister?!"

"The person above, you don't know shit. The Big-Eared Thief is a hot commodity now; this is the Mi family's way of improving their class!"

"The Big-Eared Thief gets a girl for free?"

Mi Zhu bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

"Lord Xuande, please help our Mi family."

Liu Bei laughed heartily and patted Mi Zhu's shoulder.

"Brother Zizhong, actually you are helping me. My Bingzhou is waiting to be rebuilt, and I urgently need a big merchant to move in and revitalize Bingzhou's economy."

"I intend to recruit Brother Zizhong as my Prefect of Xihe Commandery in Bingzhou. What do you think?"

Mi Zhu was overjoyed. He had long taken a fancy to Liu Bei, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply with cupped hands.

"With the lord above, I, Mi Zizhong, will definitely exert myself to the utmost!"

Liu Bei helped Mi Zhu up.

"Please labor for Bingzhou in the future, Zizhong."

Mi Zhu expressed his stance repeatedly.

At the same time, he still had doubts in his heart.

"My lord, my little sister Mi Zhen?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"When you move to Taiyuan, we will handle this matter. I think Miss Mi must be as beautiful as a celestial being."

"Yes, yes."

Mi Zhu hurriedly agreed!

Shi Guangyuan was a bit sour. He thought about it and realized he didn't seem to have a sister, so he could only go to Bingzhou and work hard to do a good job in farming.

After the matter was settled, Mi Zhu relaxed completely and got very drunk.

Liu Bei personally sent Mi Zhu back.

At this time, Chen Dao, who had become Liu Bei's personal guard commander, was loyally guarding outside the camp tent.

Liu Bei was a bit moved.

"Chen Dao, you go back and rest first; just let the soldiers keep watch."

Chen Dao cupped his hands.

"My lord, this subordinate is not tired."

Liu Bei couldn't say anything, so he just had people send them some food.

He went back, dismissed Zhang Fei who was clamoring to drink more, and returned to Feng Mei's tent.

The candlelight in the tent was very bright. ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
