What the f * ck did this mean? Was it a human? Asking his sister if she was married?
"Uh, Zhu Duo is stupid. I wonder what General means by this?”Mei Zhu asked as he gulped.
Zhang Xiu didn't answer and continued to ask,"What do you think of the embroidery, Zizhong?"
"Eh, General is a noble lord with tens of thousands of soldiers. He is brave and has millions of people under his rule. He is respected by the people and is truly a hero.”Mi Zhu praised.
"Haha, Zizhong praises me too much. I wonder if your sister is a match for me, Zhang Xiu?”Zhang Xiu laughed heartily as he looked at Mei Zhu with a burning gaze.
" Uh, this, General, this isn't a good idea." Mei Zhu looked troubled.
"What's wrong with that? Could it be that Zizhong is looking down on me?”Zhang Xiu coldly snorted and instantly made a solemn decision.
Mi Zhu was stunned. He immediately stood up and bowed with his hands clasped together."General, you are too serious. However, this matter is too abrupt, so I still need to discuss it with my sister.”
"Zizhong, since ancient times, the eldest brother is the father. Your sister's marriage should be decided by Zizhong.”Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said,"Men, bring the betrothal gifts."”
The corners of Mei Zhu's mouth twitched.
Betrothal gifts? What the hell? This was a f * cking betrothal gift?
Mei Zhu grinned. He wanted to persuade Zhang Xiu, but he was worried that Zhang Xiu would kill him in a fit of anger. He was in a dilemma.
Although Zhang Xiu was also a vassal, he was more optimistic about Liu Bei. He had wanted to wait for an opportunity to bet on Liu Bei, but who would have thought that Zhang Xiu would want to sleep with his sister the first time they met? Who could resist this?
If he did not agree today, he would probably not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
After some internal struggle,
Forget it, marrying Zhang Xiu wasn't a bad thing. At the very least, she had an extra backup plan.
At this moment, a group of servants moved in large and small boxes.
There was a box of Coke, a box of canned meat, ten bottles of Guizhou Moutai, and ten portions of Disaster Avoidance Pills in the exquisite gift box. Other than these, there were some jewelry. It was considered luxurious.
Mi Zhu had seen many things like jewelry, but he had never heard of things like cola, canned meat, and Maotai.
He reached out and touched it. It was cold to the touch. It was made of iron, but how could there be an iron can with such workmanship in the world? It was truly rare, and even the white jade porcelain bottle beside it was as smooth and smooth as it was priceless.
" General, this is…" Mei Zhu gulped and said in a trembling voice.
"It's just a small gift. I don't want to show my respect."
Zhang Xiu smiled warmly and took a sip of tea.
" This…This…" Even though Mei Zhu had seen all kinds of big scenes, he could not help but tremble. He really wanted to say, was this a f * cking small gift? Each of these items was probably priceless!
"General, don't worry. I'll leave the marriage between you and my sister to Zhu. I think my sister will be happy to know that she can marry a hero like General.”
Mei Zhu patted his chest and said righteously.
He suddenly realized that his brother-in-law seemed to be quite good, much more sensible than Liu Bei. He did not know how long it would take for Liu Bei to earn back his investment, but Zhang Xiu could bring him a lot of benefits now. It was worth it.
"Haha, Zizhong is too polite."
"Although Xuzhou belongs to Liu Bei, Liu Bei has been too benevolent and has been harmed. Now that he has gone to war with Yuan Shu, I'm afraid Xuzhou will change its master. If you trust me, Zhang Xiu, your family will move to Nanyang.”
Zhang Xiu said solemnly.
The reason why he said he would marry Mi Zhen was so that he could move Mi Zhu's entire family to Nan Yang. One had to know that the Mi family was one of the four major merchants at the end of the Han Dynasty. They were involved in countless connections and industries.
If the Mi Family led the business of Nanyang, it would definitely prosper. Moreover, the Mi Family had a strong background, with assets of more than 100 million and thousands of servants. It would be a pity not to rope them in.
" Uh, this…" Mei Zhu hesitated. These few sentences had left him in a daze. The difference was too great.
"There are hundreds of thousands of households in Nanyang and a million households in Jingzhou. If Zizhong comes with his entire family, the merchants of the nine counties of Jing and Xiang will be led by your Mi family.”Zhang Xiu continued.
Mei Zhu's eyes trembled. Jing State? Zhang Xiu is aiming for Jingzhou? If Zhang Xiu can take Jingzhou, then the great cause can be achieved.
His heart began to waver.
Although the Mi Family's roots were in Xu Prefecture, Xu Prefecture had been through a lot of war. Whether or not that family business could be preserved was another matter altogether.
Moreover, from his words, it could be seen that Zhang Xiu was ambitious, at least not any less than Liu Bei.
"General, this matter concerns the rise and fall of the family.”Mei Zhu did not agree in a rash manner and instead said apologetically.
"It's fine, but Xuzhou isn't very peaceful. Zizhong should have taken your sister to Nanyang earlier.”Zhang Xiu said.
"Naturally, naturally." Mi Zhu smiled obsequiously." I'll leave now. I'll arrange for your sister to rush to Nanyang this morning."”
"Men, send Clan Head Mo off."
Looking at Mei Zhu's departing figure, Zhang Xiu's lips curled up. This was considered a trap for Liu Bei.
If he could rope in the Mi Family, it would be of great use to Nan Yang. Nanyang was in urgent need of development. If they could find some big families to drive it, it would develop much faster.
Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to close the door, Jia Xu walked over with a worried expression.
"My lord, Nanyang is considered strong now. Why do you still want to marry Mi Zhu's sister? Although Mi Zhu is an aristocratic family, he is indeed a merchant aristocratic family. His influence is low, and it is meaningless for the lord to seize Jingzhou.”
"Wen He came for this matter?" Zhang Xiu was indifferent. He took a sip of tea and chuckled.
"Could it be that my lord doesn't think that this matter is of great importance? My lord, you are not married yet. If you marry a merchant's daughter, how can you take Jingzhou?”Jia Xu frowned and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu realized that he had lost his composure and could not help but say in a weak voice,"My lord, this is a serious matter. I don't think there's a need to rush to marry Mi Zhen.”
"Wen He, I know what to do. At most, I won't marry Mei Zhen.”Zhang Xiu strolled over to Jia Xu and handed him a cup of hot tea with a warm smile.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu had taken his words to heart, Jia Xu was somewhat apologetic. He bowed and said,""My lord, I have offended you just now. I hope my lord will not take it to heart.”
"Sigh, Wenhe will be like this in the future.”Zhang Xiu said candidly. For Jia Xu to say such words, it meant that he was already loyal. However, if he did not deceive Mi Zhu, he would be loyal to Liu Bei.
"Oh right, my lord, I heard that you and your blacksmith can refine steel blocks by relying on the blast furnace.”Jia Xu's eyes were filled with anticipation as he said excitedly.
"There is such a thing." Zhang Xiu said calmly.
" My lord is truly a god. Since ancient times, only steel can be forged after hundreds of refinements, but…my lord can actually…" Jia Xu was momentarily incoherent, not knowing how to express the excitement in his heart.
What did steel represent? It could best be reflected in its sharpness, toughness, and unbending edge. If Zhang Xiu's subordinates were all equipped with steel sabers, their strength would increase by at least 20%.
Zhang Xiu smiled and didn't say much, but he was thinking in his heart, if Jia Xu saw the night vision goggles, how would he be amazed? However, it was not easy for this thing to appear now.
He had no choice. This thing needed electricity. Although he had a few batteries, he had to use them sparingly.
"However, Wenhe, the blacksmith shop is currently lacking in manpower, and the production is difficult to supply the entire army. As for the iron ores, I will hand them over to the Mi Family and let them think of a way.”
Zhang Xiu explained.
"Xu will send someone to do it." Jia Xu was hale and hearty as he said sonorously.
