Jizhou, Zhongshan State, Wuji County.
Zhongshan was one of the few counties in the Great Han Dynasty. The business atmosphere here was extremely prosperous, comparable to Si Li, Xu Zhou, and other places.
The Zhen family was the leader of Zhongshan merchants.
That was why Liu Xian was surprised when he found out that his fiancée was the eldest daughter of the Zhen family. The Zhen family was not inferior to the number one merchant family of the Great Han Dynasty, the Mei family. Their wealth was beyond imagination.
In front of the Mei Clan Residence.
Two large red lanterns were hung day and night, and a thick cloth that was more than ten zhang long was laid out from the main hall to the front door of the manor.
The entire Zhen Clan had gathered in front of the gate, waiting for Liu Xian's arrival.
"General Li, is Marquis Anping going to settle the details of the engagement?" Zhen Yi asked as he looked at Li Qing.”
"Eh!"
Li Qing scratched his head and smiled bitterly." I don't know either. My lord was injured when Wang Du charged into the city, so he lost some of his memories. When the family head mentioned this matter again, my lord decided to come to Zhongshan!”
"It's good that she's here. It's been more than ten years, and Jiang 'er isn't young anymore. Since she's here, let her follow the Marquis of Anping to Bingzhou!”Zhen Yi said in a deep voice.
"This matter still needs the lord's decision!" Li Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”
"What decision does he have? My Jiang 'er has already passed the age of marriage and has been talked about by others for several years. If he doesn't marry her this time, I'll definitely go to Ji Bei to find Liu Luan and ask her clearly!”Zhen Yi shouted angrily.
Li Qing nodded and sighed." He will. The lord is different now!"”
"Humph!" Zhen Yi snorted coldly.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp!" Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the city gate of Wuji. Dust soared into the sky and pierced through the city. Black clouds visible to the naked eye appeared in front of the Zhen family mansion.
"Swoosh!"
The 2,000 Bei Wei soldiers dismounted in unison, displaying their might.
Liu Xian handed the halberd in his hand to Dian Wei, looked at Zhen Yi, and said with a faint smile,"Zi Zheng greets uncle!"
"Humph!"
"What brings you to Zhongshan?" Zhen Yi snorted coldly.”
"Naturally, it's the engagement between Zi Zheng and Jiang 'er. We're old enough, so we can't delay this any longer.”Liu Xian was not angry and asked back.
"Please!" Zhen Yi waved his sleeve and turned around to enter the Zhen Manor.
"Marquis Anping, I am Zhen Yan!" Zhen Yan moved closer to Liu Xian and said.
"Zhen Yao!"
Zhen Yao stood in front of Liu Xian and said stiffly.
Liu Xian nodded." Sorry to trouble you two. Let's talk after we enter the residence!"”
"Good!"
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were half a step behind Liu Xian, leading the way.
Zhen Yi had the ability to throw a tantrum at Liu Xian, but they didn't.
Back then, Liu Xian's battle at Chang Mountain had caused his reputation to soar to the heavens in Jizhou.
In front of Guangzong City, Liu Xian met with Zhang Jiao and persuaded him to commit suicide. This became a popular topic in the world. It was no exaggeration to say that Liu Xian's reputation in Jizhou was even stronger than the former governor Liu Yan.
In the main hall of the Zhen Estate.
Zhen Yi's gaze kept falling on Cheng Yu. In the end, he still asked,""Are you Cheng Li from back then?"
"I didn't expect you to still remember!" Cheng Yu nodded and smiled faintly.”
"Back then, your reputation in Luoyang was not inferior to Liu Luan's. It's just that I didn't expect you to assist his son!”Zhen Yi sighed.
"Some people are born to be nobles, while some are destined to be fake assistants by the nobles 'side. This is my mission.”Cheng Yu said with a faint smile.
"Fake assistant?"
"You think you're his right-hand man?" Zhen Yi was slightly stunned.”
"Can't I?" Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
"It's not that I can't!"
"Zhongde, you should be clear about your own abilities. The famous people in the world are like carps crossing the river. For example, the Crouching Dragon, the Young Phoenix, the Middle Tiger, the Young Lin, as mentioned by Pang De Gong, and Xun You and Xun Yu of the Xun family.”Zhen Yi sneered.
Cheng Yu smiled faintly." It's not about who I can stand shoulder to shoulder with. It's about how much I can be compared to the lord. That's my value!"”
"One gold and a hundred coins. Zi Zheng, how much do you think Cheng Yu is worth?”Zhen Yi asked.
"It's priceless!"
Liu Xian took a sip of tea and said lightly," I came to Zhongshan this time to determine the future direction of the Zhen family. I'm not here to discuss the value of Zhongde. If we really want to discuss the price, Cheng Zhongde is worth half of the thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty!”
"How much is the Zhen family worth?" Zhen Yi asked.
"Half of Bing Province!"
Liu Xian rubbed the bronze wine cup and said lightly,""The Zhen Family can dominate half of Bing Province, and one Zhongshan is equivalent to one Bing Province. With Cheng Zhongde and Xun Wenruo, Bing Province will definitely be the only business in the world!”
"Ambitious enough!"
"You want the Zhen family in one sentence. The Zhen family has a long history in Zhongshan. Unless you can take out something that affects the Zhen family's foundation, the Zhen family will not follow you to Bingzhou, let alone all the merchants in Zhongshan!”Zhen Yi said unhappily.
Liu Xian chuckled."The business tax is reduced by 30%. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are looked down upon by others everywhere. However, it's different in Bing Province. I can promote business in Bing Province. At least your business won't be obstructed. Moreover, I'm confident that I can make the Zhen family surpass the Mi family in three years!”
"The Mi Family is one of the top grain merchants in the Great Han Dynasty. They can sell corn in several provinces. Are you sure the Zhen Family can do it?”Zhen Yi asked.
"Naturally!"
Liu Xian said firmly," I've said it before. The Zhen family is equivalent to half of Bingzhou. If their business is not prosperous, how can they prosper in Bingzhou?!"”
