Chapter 262: Mi Zhen's little abacus is clicking away

Mi Zhen, who had just been crying like rain, was now curled up in Liu Bei's arms like a little lazy cat.

She said in a delicate voice,

"Husband~ this time you are taking a million Qingzhou commoners back to Bingzhou, it's too costly."

Liu Bei hugged Mi Zhen.

"There's no other way, relocating a million commoners, how could it not be a loss?"

Mi Zhen giggled.

"Husband, I have a way to not lose money, and even make money."

Liu Bei:??

Mi Zhen began to tell Liu Bei about her little abacus.

"Husband, a million commoners, and most of them are young and strong, think about how much transport capacity that is. If each person carries a little something, how much can they carry?"

Liu Bei:?? He really hadn't thought about this!

"We can purchase specialties from Qingzhou and Xuzhou—sea salt, pearls, seafood, cloth, silk, tea, etc. —and sell them for profit along the way, and then continue to purchase local specialties as we head toward Bingzhou."

"Husband, think about it, not only will we not lose money on this journey, but we will also make a profit!"

Liu Bei:??

He sighed at length.

"My lady is truly a great talent. I was planning to do a losing business, but you've turned it into a profit and even made a fortune!"

Mi Zhen had a smile on her lips and looked proud.

"I'm not worse than Zhen Jiang, am I?"

Liu Bei indicated that in terms of business, Zhen Jiang was indeed not as good as her.

Mi Zhen pouted her little mouth again.

"And in other aspects?"

Liu Bei turned over and smiled.

"That would have to be tested to know."

Mi Zhen:??

Starting the next day,

Mi Zhen sent people to purchase specialties all over Qingzhou and also had the Mi family transport Xuzhou specialties over.

The entire Qingzhou was boiling.

Especially the noble families of Qingzhou; they had quite a bit of goods on hand, and this time they were bought out by Liu Bei, making a fortune!

"Lord Xuande is benevolent and righteous; he only borrowed a bit of grain, and this time he's helping us clear our inventory even if he has to smash his pots and sell his iron!"

"If only Lord Xuande were the Governor of Qingzhou!"

"Lord Xuande is too good, won't he lose money? We'll sell cheap!"

After many more days had passed,

everything was settled.

Liu Bei bid farewell to the tearful Qingzhou noble families and embarked on the return journey.

The mighty million-strong transport team headed toward Bingzhou.

Liu Bei took 35,000 elites from the 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers.

Guan Hai led ten thousand,

Zhao Zilong ten thousand,

Taishi Ziyi led seven thousand fellow Donglai villagers,

and Wuqiu Jian and Guo Huai each led four thousand.

Zhang Fei and Chen Dao led the former cavalry to guard the entire million commoners.

Guo Fengxiao looked at the mighty, endless team and the fully loaded goods, sighing with great emotion.

"My lord, who says women are not as good as men? Lady Mi's plan this time is better than all the plans I've contributed combined!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Every trade has its master; Mi Zhen is indeed very good at this business aspect."

"However, compared to Fengxiao in terms of strategy, she couldn't catch up even if she whipped her horse."

Mi Zhen had been very busy recently, with many subordinates following her; what the needs were in various places, what specialties were where, and whether it was convenient for transport—all these had to be considered.

The broadcast room's chat exploded.

"The Eared Thief has made a fortune, he directly married a super listed company and also came with a super strong business genius!" ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
