ALL NOVEL Chapter 9 Zhen Family
The day after the announcement was spread, Mu Yi led Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, as well as several hundred people armed with yellow scarves and wearing equipment, to block the door of a large household.
Bandits came to the city to cause trouble, and they were bandits just like the Yellow Turban Army. The wealthy people who had experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion knew very well that they would be the first to be troubled.
Several of them started out by taking advantage of the chaos. After all, what the Yellow Turbans wanted was food, gold and silver, and those precious antiques and the like still had value.
And unlike the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans who besieged the city in the past, today's Yellow Turbans with less than 10,000 people, even after witnessing Zhou Cang flying, still forcefully believed that it was just a sorcery.
However, although they were taking a chance, they also knew that they would definitely not be able to fight against these bandits, so hugging each other to keep warm became the only option.
"Look, these powerful businessmen are better than you, the county magistrate!"
Mu Yi looked at the more than 300 private tribes put together by more than a dozen wealthy families in the distance, and there were also strong bows and crossbows, and he smiled very happily.
These things are very good, but from now on my surname will be Mu.
The total number of these things is more than what is in the arsenal of the county town. It should be said that he is worthy of being a powerful man in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The chaos of the separatist regime can be seen at a glance.
Yuan Zhan's scalp was numb. Although he knew that these people had hidden possessions, and some were even bought and sold directly through him, when he put these things together, he realized that he seemed not to be in this county all along. owner.
"I was still hesitating whether to confiscate my house and exterminate my family, but I didn't expect you to help me make the choice!" Mu Yi shook his head and gave the final order.
"Resist tenaciously! Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao! Listen to the order!"
"Here!" Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were now wearing armor and looked heroic. They didn't look like yellow turbans, but more like generals.
"Kill, leave no one behind!"
Mu Yi led a group of yellow scarves and turned away. There were only seventeen powerful families here, not all of them.
Since we don't intend to become enemies, there is the possibility of becoming friends.
A great man once said that our first problem is to figure out who are our real enemies and who are our real friends, and to unite real friends to deal with real enemies.
There is still a long way to go to figure out who the real enemies and friends are, so now Mu Yi can only figure out who is a friend and who is an enemy.
The road must be walked step by step, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and nothing can be rushed.
Under the guidance of Yuan Zhan, Mu Yi and his party came to a rice row.
According to him, this is the only shop here opened by foreign merchants.
"Zhen family?"
Mu Yi looked at the flags next to the eaves and roughly knew who the other party was.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Zhen family, known as one of the four wealthy businessmen, was most famous for the fact that Zhen Ji married Cao Pi and became the queen of the Wei Dynasty. She was also the biological mother of Cao Rui, the subsequent Wei Ming Emperor.
At this time, the Mi Xing door had been opened, and a slightly wealthy middle-aged man took the initiative to greet him.
"Young man Zhen Si, I have met the general!" The dozen or so waiters on the side also nodded and bowed, full of respect.
Mu Yi waved his hand and then walked into the rice store. Looking at Milo's dustpans arranged neatly and the grains and grains neatly arranged, he felt as if he had entered a shop of later generations.
"really not bad!"
He said casually, turned around and saw Zhen Si quickly ordering the waiter to serve tea to the guests.
"General, please come into the private room and take a seat!"
Mu Yi nodded, told the others to stay behind, and walked in with two people.
Enter the elegant room and take a seat on the table.
Mu Yi did not drink tea, but directly knocked on the table.
"I'm very satisfied that you didn't mess around, so I have a business to do with you!"
"I wonder what kind of business the general wants to do!" Zhen Si felt a little embarrassed.
"General, I recently got a windfall, about seventeen boxes of it!" Mu Yi said with a smile, "Probably some calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, antiques and the like!"
"I, the general, came from a rural background. I don't know how much they are worth or what their use is. It would be useless to keep them."
After saying this, Mu Yi looked at Zhen Si, opened his mind, and felt Zhen Si's emotions.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Zhen is a knowledgeable businessman, so he came to you specially to make this big deal!"
About seventeen boxes...
It must be seventeen...
Zhen Si's heart beat wildly and unsatisfactorily. Putting aside the Zhen family, there were only seventeen powerful families in the entire county.
In an instant, Zhen Si understood what Mu Yi meant. The other party planned to seize the homes of seventeen powerful people and then sell them to him.
You must not offend the other party, otherwise, they may not escape death!
"No problem, no problem. As the general said, this is indeed a big deal!" The frightened Zhen Si quickly put a smile on her face.
"But...the price..." Zhen Si was a little uneasy, fearing that Mu Yi would tell him that he couldn't afford it, and then the other party would get angry and confiscate their Zhen family.
"Thirty percent, plus all the food you have here!"
Of course Mu Yi would not open his mouth like a lion, he still hopes to use the Zhen family to engage in trade.
After all, the identity of the Yellow Turban is really not easy to handle, and it is difficult to be treated as an equal.
But businessmen are different. As long as there is one, there are two. Businessmen are part of capital.
If capital has a 50% profit, it will take desperate risks. If it has a 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world. If it has a 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even illegally. risking being hanged.
As long as the Zhen family can taste the sweetness, they won't be afraid that the Zhen family won't do business later. No businessman would think that money is too much.
"No problem, I promised the general, I will provide all the food, but the money will not be settled for a while..." Zhen Si agreed simply and neatly.
If you operate this price properly, not only will you not lose money, but you will also make a huge profit, and now the form is better than others. If you don't agree, you will be bloodied on the spot.
He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the other seventeen unlucky families.
"Shopkeeper Zhen is indeed a cheerful person." Mu Yi nodded and was about to say something.
"Little... General" Zhou Cang's voice came from outside the door!
Mu Yi had explained that he would be collectively referred to as the general from now on, and now was not the time to raise the Yellow Turban banner again.
To put it bluntly, they are just a group of bandits now. It would be a disaster if they were targeted by the 18th princes or the like.
Building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly are still forward-looking even if the times are different.
"Come in!" Mu Yi responded.
When Zhou Cang walked in, a bloody smell instantly rushed into the private room.
"General, all the enemies have been beheaded!"
"Okay, take Yuan Zhan with you and let the brothers move into the houses of those wealthy families. Be careful not to damage everything, otherwise it will be difficult to estimate the price!"
"Yes!" Zhou Cang held up his hands, strode out of Mihang, grabbed Yuan Zhan and flew directly into the air.
"Shopkeeper Zhen, don't bother me. I'll have the things delivered later." Mu Yi turned to Zhen Si and said.
"It should, it should!" Zhen Si kept smiling. His hands were shaking when he heard that all seventeen large families were being crowned.
A single thought almost led to death.
