For so many years in a high position, Cao Cao himself has figured out a way to put on airs and show majesty.

He used to be a small person, and he worked hard step by step until now. From a small person to a state herdsman in one state, and then to a state herd in two states, Cao Cao was always busy. He had no time to think about other trivial matters. When he was free When I came down to think about my life, I suddenly looked back and realized that I had become the Lord of the Three States, and my subordinates had assembled a group of people to follow in his footsteps, and everyone seemed to admire and admire him.

When Cao Cao thinks about life, he also has a kind of self-doubt, why do they respect me?Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xun Yu are all outstanding people. They are so outstanding, why should I become the person they look up to?

This kind of self-doubt only drifted away occasionally at the beginning, and more often it was too busy to think about so many things, but it can be reflected in some small habits, for example, he likes to grow a beard, and he also likes to grow a thick beard. Beautiful people, the root of this peculiar aesthetic development is that Cao Cao feels that he is an ordinary person, and he is a little unconfident.

As for later, no matter what he does, since everyone respects him and the masses are sharp-eyed, there are so many smart people, so many capable generals, it is impossible for everyone to be blind, right?Getting used to being praised by everyone, Cao Cao himself felt that he was very powerful. Sometimes he looked in the mirror and thought: Ah, such a man is rare in the real world, and I am such a great hero.

Self-confidence was established, and then the Han Emperor was welcomed back to Xuchang. Some of the Han Emperor's old officials feared him, some fawned on him, some alienated him, and some were loyal to him. All kinds of people gathered in the new court hall , what those people have in common is amazing, they fear him!

The majesty at the beginning was brought out as a showpiece, relying on internal strength and murderous aura to build a style that belongs to Cao Cao. As time went by, majesty became part of his temperament. Now he has no internal strength and no murderous aura. , Just drinking a cup of tea casually can make people tremble in fear, and with a slight glance of his delicate little eyes, some people will avoid his gaze.

Cao Cao felt very strange, obviously he restrained his internal strength, obviously he had made his eyes look a little more kind, so how could these people not be scared?

Looking at the reactions of the two brothers of the Mi family, Cao Cao knew that they were afraid of him again. What is there to be afraid of?Obviously he is so cute!

The word "cute" was written by the literary officer responsible for recording his deeds in the Sikong Mansion when he recorded his deeds. It means admirable. Cao Cao liked this evaluation very much and rewarded that person.

He tried to keep his tone gentle. In order to appreciate the two people's behavior of donating their family wealth, Cao Cao saw that Mi Zhu's official position was promoted to a higher level, and said that Mi Fang could continue to be the Prime Minister of Pengcheng. If there is any need for help, he can ask his colleagues in Cao Ying He also allowed Mi Fang to come to visit him and accept them as counselors in the nature of staff.

The official position was promoted, Cao Cao saw the two sent off sincerely, and he relaxed in fear and fear, and ordered someone to give a case to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and kindly invited them to have a meal.

Seeing that Cao Cao treated them courteously, Mi Zhu didn't speak harsh words as he imagined. He was obviously very satisfied with the wealth and servants they donated. The temperament was different, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at him with admiration for the grace and elegance he had cultivated over the years.

After Cao Cao talked with Mi Zhu, he basically figured out what kind of person this Mi family patriarch is.

Mi Zhu also said frankly: "I am not good at strategizing. I am better at managing wealth than using strategies to plan for my lord."

Everyone has what they are good at. There are already many strategists Cao Cao who can make money, but there are not many strategists who like to make money.

While chatting casually during the meal, Cao Cao mentioned Mi Zhu's experience in doing business.

Mi Zhu respectfully said: "The ancients said that businessmen are humble and don't care about production. They are only interested in profit. When the servants are doing business in their homes, they carry out the word "sincerity". Although doing business can accumulate wealth, virtue is more important. It is a long-term journey to improve the interests of the people, and you may lose money, but that is only a temporary loss, and the benefits thereafter will be endless. The subordinates believe that Shang is an envoy, enabling the circulation of things from east to west, from north to south, and bringing them together. It is the businessman's duty to sell the surplus things in the east to the west and provide the locals with what they lack."

As a wealthy family, the Mi family has accumulated several generations so far. Apart from the business knowledge handed down by word of mouth, it is some classics and the words of sages. Mi Zhu advocates Confucian literature, even if the Confucian classics discriminate against businessmen. Still devoting himself to his studies, what he admires the most is the words of Confucius disciple "Zigong" on doing business with integrity, and he firmly believes in the set of principles of doing things that "a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way".

Cao Cao has never been a businessman himself, so he doesn't have a clear concept of this, but he agrees with Mi Zhu's words in his heart, and Mi Zhu's "duty" attitude in doing business is similar to his policy tendency of wanting to enrich the people.

Cao Cao asked again: "How do you think a country can be made rich? The buying and selling of officials and titles in the previous dynasty made the treasury pile up like mountains of gold and silver treasures. What is the final result?"

The country is in a precarious situation, the people are naked, hungry and cold, and the country is falling apart.

Mi Zhu was heartbroken, thinking that Cao Cao was beating him, he hurriedly replied seriously: "When the wealth of the country is accumulated in the hands of a small number of people, most people are poor and cannot survive, and turmoil will be caused. If the wealth can be distributed to the big Some people, if they have food and clothing, can make the country work. If people live comfortably and have money in their hands, they will use it to buy it. When invisible money circulates among the people, the whole country The vitality will rise."

Mi Zhu mentioned the word "vitality", which made Cao Cao think so. He learned a little about economics from the gentlemen, which was enough to benefit him for life. The concepts of economy and market circulation became part of his three views, which made him He will not one-sidedly believe that businessmen are bad and should be suppressed like most of today's politicians.

Mi Zhu's words made Chen Dengmao suddenly enlightened. He looked at Mi Zhu twice more. He didn't expect that Mi Zhu, who is usually gentle, honest and not outstanding in political achievements, could say such outstanding remarks.

In order to show his loyalty, Mi Zhu said sincerely: "The Mi family has accumulated so much money. To my subordinates, it is just a number. It is not a good thing to accumulate too much money in the warehouse. If the grain and grass are piled up in the warehouse, it will be damaged. Instead of letting them out If they are alive, it is better to dedicate them to the lord, and let the lord use them where they should be used, which can be regarded as a merit."

A large amount of capital and food input can activate the market in Xuzhou. With this part of the windfall, Cao Cao can build up Xuzhou's infrastructure and let the local people work. To get rich, first build roads, have food, and open up wasteland first. , there must be cloth and mulberry.With houses to live in and fields to cultivate, there will be fewer refugees, and people will work in full swing, and the vitality of the whole Xuzhou will rise. When the basic life can be met, you can work hard to increase the material and cultural needs of the people. The fields can be used to grow all kinds of vegetables, people's dining tables will become more abundant, and the excess paper can be used for circulation. With the government's promotion of learning, more and more people will be literate. If a place sings and dances Shengping, the two places are singing and dancing, until all the territory is living and working in peace, singing and dancing, that is the most beautiful scene of prosperity!

Cao Cao thought about the future, laughed happily, and praised Mi Zhu, and then he said seriously: "Sir, you can only stay in Xuzhou for one state, but I want you to do greater things. I don't know if you have the ambition to show your strengths in a wider world?"

Mi Zhu was stunned, with disbelief in his astonishment. He didn't expect that Cao Cao not only did not discriminate against him who was born in a merchant family, but also planned to reuse him and invited him to Xuchang as a confidant. He called him Mr.

What to explain, it shows that Cao Cao valued his talent, not Tao Qian, who focused on the money of Mi's family. Cao Cao affirmed Mi Zhu's identity as a merchant, and was willing to give the same respect as scribes, and even reuse him to make full use of his strengths. This is such a precious thing, which prince in this world can have such a pattern!

Excited, Mi Zhu clenched his hands hidden in his wide sleeves into fists, and asked in a trembling voice, "Does my lord want to invite me to do business for the country?"

Cao Cao also told the truth: "It is also reasonable to say that it is a business for the country, but I hope you can take the business as the foundation of the people, and the wealth of the people is the wealth of the country. What I want is the most important thing you mentioned before——"Vigor '."

Mi Zhu stood up and bowed deeply: "Han Ying said, 'If you don't get Bole, you can get the feet of thousands of miles'. My lord is Bole who knows horses. A confidant is good', with the trust of the lord so far, Zhu Ding will do his best!"

Cao Cao stood up and received a salute from Mi Zhu. He walked forward, held Mi Zhu's hand involuntarily, and said deeply, "Just as quelling chaos requires great generals to lead troops into battle, literature requires famous scholars to flourish, and the court needs Sangong to preside over the overall situation. The prosperity of the country also requires businessmen to take the lead to drive the economy, with Mr.'s ability, maybe his name can be passed down through the ages, if Mr. is willing to go, I will treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar."

With tears in his eyes, Mi Zhu added another layer of family wealth to Cao Cao, and said excitedly: "The wealth of a family is not worth the kindness of knowing you. Mi Zhu will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord!"

Chen Deng: ...

is losing.

Mi Fang, who was abandoned aside, was cowardly by nature, surrendered as soon as he said he would surrender, and had no idea. He blinked blankly, and seeing Mi Zhu glanced at him, he quickly cheered up.

Mi Fang: Brother is right!

Treating the guests to a meal, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and Cao Cao gained a lot of money. After thinking about it, he returned the extra [-]% to Mi Zhu, and bluntly said that he would use it as start-up capital, which aroused Mi Zhu's gratitude again.

Cao Cao accidentally maxed out the loyalty of Jinbaicai, and planned to bring his valued market broker back to Xuchang. He asked Mi Zhu to go home and pack up his belongings, and he went to settle in Xuchang with him.

Guo Jia cheated the two brothers of the Mi family and brought a lot of money to the lord. Of course, he would not do good deeds without leaving his name.

Because of Mi Fang's sudden slip of the tongue, Cao Cao knew that it was Guo Jia who had visited him, which made him think of persuading his elder brother to surrender to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's mood index soared, and he was almost floating. He was so cheerful that people asked, "Where did Feng Xiao go?"

The subordinates replied: "Mr. Guo and General Lu are fighting for wine."

I don't know if it's idle or bored, while Guo Jia was waiting for Cao Cao to take the initiative to find him, he flirted eastward and westward, relying on the fact that he had worked with Lu Bu for a month, and went to stroke Lu Bu's tiger beard.

Lu Bu couldn't stand the excitement, so he had a bowl with Guo Jia, and I drank the same bowl.

Guo Jia enjoys drinking, and is used to singing and singing when he is drunk. The feeling of drinking makes him excited. When drinking, his brain is more flexible than normal. It is not easy to drink him down. , no one can be his opponent.

Who is Ke Lu Bu?A real man of [-] meters, a big man with a strong physique, he would not get drunk at all if he drank a lot of alcohol. At most, he would go to the toilet and continue to fight with Guo Jia when he came back.

Fighting hard, Guo Jia, who is small and frail, couldn't stand it anymore. A blush appeared on the fair cheeks of the literati, while Lu Bu didn't even sweat on his face. He sat there with a big horse, drinking I feel uncomfortable eating meat.

When Cao Cao arrived, Guo Jia had already been drunk by Lu Bu, and he heard Lu Bu proudly showing off his massive power to Chen Gong, slapping the table like a bear's paw, with a loud voice.

Guo Jia's eyes blurred, he pointed at Lu Bu and shouted vaguely, "Why do you have a long tail!"

Lu Bu turned his head to look, wondering and asked him, "Tail, what kind of tail do I have?"

Guo Jia laughed loudly: "Isn't this the dog's tail wagging happily?"

Wagging his tail, just waiting for Chen Gong to praise him!

Lu Bu's face turned black immediately, and he slapped the back of Guo Jia's head with a slap, slapped him on the table, and cursed: "I owe you!"

Chen Gong screamed, and stood up to see how Guo Jia was doing, only to see that the back of his head was swollen, he lost his voice, and turned over, the drunk had already sounded asleep.

The people sent by Cao Cao found them, and the subordinate immediately had a bitter face: "Why is Master Guo drunk? Hey, my lord is looking for him!"

Lv Bu snorted twice, pointed at Guo Jia and said, "Since the lord is looking for him, you can send him to the lord, and just complete your task. If there is any problem, the lord will not come to you, and it's not you who sent Guo Jia to him." Drunk."

When the subordinates heard this, it was for this reason that they hurriedly took Guo Jiakang away and sent them to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was caught off guard by a drunk who was sound asleep, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "How can you drink so fiercely?"

He originally wanted to talk to Guo Jia, get in touch with each other, be alone for a while, drink tea and watch the scenery together, chat and brag about dinner together, since he is drunk, let's talk about it next time!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao ordered someone to prepare Guo Jia's hangover soup and pour it down, and ordered the guards to resist him and settle him next door.

The next day, Guo Jia, who didn't know that he had lost the opportunity to be alone with his lord, woke up and stretched himself. His subordinates told Guo Jia: "Congratulations to the military commander, the lord has promoted you to be the military commander. From now on, you will be the number one military commander in the army." Already!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia's eyebrows lit up with joy: It seems that his previous walks to persuade the Mi family to join the lord have had an effect.

Hey, he is the No. 1 counselor in the army. Although Xun Yu is currently Cao Cao's mastermind, he is in charge of internal government affairs and will not be contaminated with military affairs. He fought against Xun Yu and "divided the world equally".

Guo Jia laughed happily, and walked with ease, and asked the guard: "Where is the Lord now?"

The subordinate replied in a low voice: "My lord is with Chen Junshou and Mi Cang Cao envoy."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows when he heard the news: "Mi Cang Cao Envoy? Has he been directly promoted to the state pastoral officer? It seems that the Lord is planning to let Mi Zhu assist Mr. Che."

The subordinate couldn't answer these words, he didn't dare to guess what the lord was thinking.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and sent someone to inform Cao Cao, asking if it was convenient to see him now?

Cao Cao sent someone to pick up Guo Jia, and told Guo Jia with a smile: "Feng Xiao came just in time. I am discussing with Mi Cang Cao envoy to move the Mi family to Xuchang. From now on, Mi Zhu will be my staff, Cang Cao from Yanzhou. Made it."

Guo Jia:  …

The development of things seems to be different from what he imagined!
