Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 959 Rebuking Mi Zhu
Just as Yuan Tan finished handling some trivial matters, Mi Zhu came to visit him in person.

Then Yuan Tan summoned Mi Zhu.

When Mi Zhu entered the house, his face was full of anger.

At this moment, he was also afraid of Yuan Tan's identity, but he didn't dare to explode.

Yuan Tan saw that Mi Zhu's expression was not very good when he entered the room, so he asked, "General Mi, it seems that you are not in a good mood?"

Mi Zhu said angrily: "The King of Qi is joking. I think the King of Qi will understand why the general is unhappy."

Yuan Tan naturally understood why Mi Zhu did this, and then smiled and said: "It seems that General Mi's news is a bit well-informed. I just issued an order here, but you have received the news."

Seeing that Yuan Tan could still laugh at this moment, Mi Zhu's face became even uglier.

"It's true that the general is a little confused. Didn't King Qi promise to partner with the general to expand this business before? Why did King Qi change his mind not even a few days later?"

"How did you say that?" Yuan Tan also asked.

"Didn't King Qi ask the question knowingly? Didn't the announcement you just issued just explain this matter?" Mi Zhu said.

When Yuan Tan saw Mi Zhu mentioning this matter, his face changed slightly and he said: "This king is planning to have a good talk with General Mi about this matter."

Mi Zhu also said: "That's good, the last general also wants to hear how King Qi explained."

Yuan Tan got up immediately and walked towards Mi Zhu: "General Mi, do you know what is the root of the people?"

Mi Zhu also shook his head. After all, such issues involve governance issues.

Mi Zhu has always regarded himself as a merchant, so naturally he doesn't understand these things.

Then he shook his head.

Yuan Tan also explained: "Food is the foundation of the people. If you live and work in peace and have ample food and clothing, the hearts of the people will be broken. Otherwise, it will be chaotic. General Mi will understand this truth."

Mi Zhu thought for a while, then nodded again.

Seeing that Mi Zhu understood, Yuan Tan continued: "General Mi, don't you know what mistake you made until now?"

"If you let the people use all the arable land to grow peppers, then in the coming year, the output of peppers will inevitably increase a lot, but at the same time, the output of food will decrease greatly." Yuan Tan said.

When Mi Zhu heard this, he felt that it was not serious, and then said: "It shouldn't be as serious as King Qi said, right?"

"No? General Mi, don't think about this matter so easily. Not only does this king think that it will happen, but it will become more serious." Yuan Tan said.

"Because you belong to a large family in Yizhou, your every move is the trend of the entire Yizhou. When you decide to plant a large number of peppers, you have set the trend of the entire planting in Yizhou." Yuan Tan said.

"At that time, the people will face a problem, that is, the lack of food and clothing. General Mi, you will definitely say that they can sell you the chili peppers and then go buy food for self-sufficiency."

"But have you ever thought that when the production of grain decreases, Yizhou will face a shortage of grain at that time, and the price of grain will inevitably skyrocket, and how ordinary people will be able to afford it at that time?" Yuan said. Tan was also a little excited at the moment, and his tone was a little more aggravated.

Mi Zhu didn't expect at this moment that what he did could have such a big impact.

I just wanted to make more money, and I didn't really want to cause such a big turmoil in Yizhou.

Immediately, Mi Zhu also said tremblingly: "It shouldn't be so. Could it be that the cultivation of the entire Yizhou City will be affected by me?"

Yuan Tan just sneered and said, "Isn't it? You know that people drive people for profit, and you offer such a tempting reward, who wouldn't want to try it?"

Mi Zhu's cold sweat gradually oozes from his forehead, and he doesn't know what to say at this moment.

Yuan Tan immediately asked, "I don't know if General Mi has any questions about the order given by this king?"

Mi Zhu also quickly shook his head and said, "No more, no more, King Qi is wise."

Yuan Tan couldn't bear Mi Zhu's flustered appearance, so he felt that his tone seemed to be a bit heavy, and then he said slowly: "General Mi, in the future, we should put the overall situation first, and don't worry about it because of this teeny boy." Small profits lead to bigger losses."

Mi Zhu nodded quickly and said, "Here!"

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down."

Mi Zhu had long thought of escaping. When she saw Yuan Tan speaking, she rushed out of Yuan Tan's hall.

Yuan Tan immediately said helplessly: "Alas, with such a disposition, how can it become a major event in the future, and how can the economic king of Sichuan be at ease."

After a moment of contemplation, Yuan Tan also felt that he still needed to find another person to support him.

Otherwise, if he withdraws from Yizhou, with Mi Zhu's character, even if there is no trouble now, it will inevitably cause many troubles in the future.

Thinking about it now, Mi Zhu seemed to have overrated Mi Zhu that day.

The previous appearance of prudence and knowledge of gains and losses was all exposed in front of this huge benefit.

Yuan Tan also finally understood the truth that people will never be able to resist the temptation of benefits.

Even if he is a saint, he just hasn't reached the point he needs to be.

People's hearts will also be driven by this interest to do many untrue things.

If Yuan Tan hadn't been a little more careful this time around, he would have waited for the harvest next year.

What Yuan Tan has to face is the tragic situation in Yizhou.

Fortunately, Yuan Tan prevented the tragedy from happening in time.

This is also gradually saving the people in Sichuan from the fire and water.

Yuan Tan didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, and now he also had to deal with other matters at hand quickly.

In the future, we still need to select some talents from this Sichuan.

After all, the current Yizhou is really not reassuring.

After Mi Zhu went back, he also changed from his previous arrogant appearance.

This made Mi Fang extremely puzzled.

Before Mi Zhu left, he saw his father's face full of anger. Why did he look like a wilted eggplant when he came back?

It looks rather pitiful.

Mi Fang then asked: "Father, could it be that King Qi..."

Before he finished speaking, Mi Zhu interrupted: "Don't mention it again, Zifang, you go out quickly, and take back the news about the high price of peppers!"

When Mi Fang heard it, she was also surprised and said: "Father, why is this? Could it be that King Qi no longer cooperates with us?"

But Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "That's not the case, it's my father's fault here. Don't ask too many questions, Zifang, go and do it first. After you come back, I will tell my father the key points."

Seeing Mi Zhu's serious face, Mi Fang knew that this matter must be more serious than she thought, otherwise her father would not be like this either.

Immediately, he rushed out of the house and followed Mi Zhu's orders.
