"I have to be filial, just like the great ancestor has to be an ancestor!”
Zhang Mu suppressed his excitement and imitated Liu Bei to hold Guo Jia's fist, his eyes filled with joy.
It was not easy.
After three months, he finally succeeded.
With Guo Jia, even Yuan Shu and Sun Ce could do it. It would be effortless for him to take Yangzhou.
When the time came, he would build a few ports and think of a way to get some modern ships over. Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Youzhou would all be his backyard.
If he had the chance, he could go to Yingzhou and exterminate those pirates.
There was also Wanwan.
The more Zhang Mu thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Hiss ~"
Mi Zhu looked at the scene of Zhang Mu and Guo Jiaji looking at each other and felt a little flustered.
If he didn't hear wrongly, Zhang Mu and Guo Jia's words revealed that they wanted to rebel. After all, they both mentioned the Land of Dragon Prosperity and the world.
To be honest, in this era, there were many people who had such thoughts, such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Dong Zhuo.
Otherwise, the huge Guandong Alliance would not have been so loud but so small. Otherwise, Cao Cao, who wanted to be the "General of the Han Dynasty's Western Expedition", would not have said that "this brat is not worthy of scheming" and was hurt by Yuan Shao and the other ambitious people.
There were also those civil officials and generals who recognized their masters. Although it was good to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, how could they be more comfortable than the founding heroes? It was just that no one said anything about it.
However, Mi Zhu knew that he was still an outsider. Wasn't it not good for Zhang Mu and Guo Jia to reveal their ambitions in front of him?
Would he be silenced?
Qiao County was now under Zhang Mu's control, and he had the ability to do so.
"Mister Mi Zhu."
After Zhang Mu and Guo Jiaji were done, the latter turned to Mei Zhu and cupped his hands.
"Uh... What advice do you have, Mr. Guo?" Mei Zhu looked very nervous.
"Brother Mi, what do you think of my lord?”Guo Jia asked directly.
From Mei Zhu's performance, he was certain that the head of the Mei Family was ambitious and would not be content with being mediocre.
Zhang Mu had a say in this.
Looking back at history, after Liu Bei arrived in Xu Zhou, Mi Zhu gave all of his financial aid and even married his only sister. It could be said that he had put in all his effort and this was a manifestation of his ambition.
Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants represented the four professions. They were the foundation of the country, but in this era, their development was somewhat abnormal. Their status was worlds apart. The Mi family had billions of assets, but they could not enter the mainstream of the scholars and were not liked by the true scholars.
When wealth accumulated to a certain extent, Mi Zhu would definitely strive for higher power and status.
Guo Jia also came to this conclusion through his own observation and analysis.
As a merchant, Mi Zhu was destined not to be a vassal, but to join a vassal (limited by the era). Mi Zhu's visit to Zhang Mu and obtaining the salt monopoly rights of Pei Country was the first step for the Mi Family to leave Xuzhou. It was also the opportunity for the Mi Family to intervene in the situation in Yuzhou and interact with the Yingchuan aristocratic families and the Yuan Family.
Otherwise, why would he come when Mi Zhu had made Yuzhou so dangerous and Pei Country was so weak in Yuzhou?
Since Mi Zhu was prepared to bet, Guo Jia was prepared to persuade him for Zhang Mu.
The Mi Family was wealthy and had a foundation in Xu Prefecture. If they could get their full support, Zhang Mu's wealth and strength would undergo an earth-shattering change.
"Tsk tsk…"
Zhang Mu understood what Guo Jia was going to do and didn't say anything.
It was a good opportunity to see what kind of methods the genius who recognized him as his master would display.
"How should I look at Zhang Mu?"
Mi Zhu was bewildered, he couldn't understand why Guo Jia asked him this question.
"Young Master Zhang is the descendant of Duke Wen Ju.”
"Wen Neng was able to spread the 'Love Lotus Theory,' allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Wu Neng was able to be a Feng County Lieutenant to pacify the bandits in Pei Country and defeat Liu Pi and the other Yellow Turban bandits.”
He didn't figure out Guo Jia's intentions. As a businessman, Mi Zhu was the best at weighing the pros and cons. He knew very well that he should try his best to say something good at this time.
But seriously speaking, he found that Zhang Mu was indeed not bad.
His background, style of speech, connections, and his own civil and military abilities were all famous in Yuzhou. He was also known for his benevolence and courtesy, and he even had high aspirations.
"Young Master Zhang is a talented man in both the civil and military fields.”Mei Zhu said sincerely.
Zhang Mu didn't feel awkward.
Although he had copied his literary talent, inherited his family background, and obtained his martial arts from a catalog, that was still him!
A smile suddenly bloomed on Guo Jia's face. He downed the wine in his cup and said with a smile,"Brother Mi, I heard that you have a younger sister?”
"Hmm?"
Guo Jia's question changed so suddenly that Mei Zhu couldn't react in time. She subconsciously replied,""I have a little sister who just reached adulthood last year.”
"She reached adulthood last year. Her age is just right!”Guo Jia nodded and changed the topic."My lord has just been crowned. Brother Mi, do you want to consider it?”
Puff!
Zhang Mu almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
Guo Jia bent too quickly and almost hurt his waist.
He actually found a woman for him?
I have to say, Fengxiao, you are really to my liking!
If he could get married, not only would he be able to marry Mi Zhen and complete the registration, but Mi Zhu would also help him out. To him, it would be extremely beneficial.
He knew that Mei Zhu would soon become the governor of Xu Prefecture.
" This is a marriage alliance?!"
Mei Zhu finally reacted and his expression changed.
Although he recognized Zhang Mu as a hero of the current era, with reputation, fame, background, and ambition, this did not mean that he was willing to sacrifice his sister for a marriage alliance.
Now, it was a chaotic world.
Those who were truly worthy of being favored were those with military power.
Compared to those dukes, Zhang Mu was too weak!
Compared to fame and background, the Yuan and Xun families were even more outstanding.
Although the Mi Family was a merchant, Zhang Mu didn't have the qualifications to marry into the family. Even if he could only be a concubine with his status as Mei Zhen, it still depended on whose concubine he was!
"Brother Guo must be joking!" Mei Zhu gave a forced smile and said,""My younger sister has been spoiled since she was young. Her personality is unruly and fierce. Although she has reached adulthood, I still want to nurture her for a few more days.”
"I'm afraid she's not worthy of County Lieutenant Zhang."
Mei Zhu's words sounded a little distant.
Guo Jia didn't say anything and looked at Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu put down his wine cup and smiled.”
