During the half-minute of tidying up his clothes, A Niu will need to pay attention to details when discussing with Mi. Go through it quickly in your mind to avoid unnecessary mistakes. This is a big deal. A Niu has the right to fail, but it is difficult to bear the consequences of failure. With a legendary experience, a certain city lord is no longer a rookie when he first entered the game. He has the ability to remain calm in times of crisis. After a while, A Niu's eyes were calm as usual, he took a deep breath and walked towards the door of Mi Mansion. "Please inform Mi Zizhong of your mansion that Fengxiang Zheng Aniu is visiting." "But the Lord of Aniu from Qingzhou Qi Kingdom?" After receiving a positive reply, the guard outside the mansion smiled and said: "My young master has given instructions, if it is Aniu When the city lord comes, there is no need to wait for notification, he can be taken directly into the inner palace. A Niu City Lord, please come with me. A certain City Lord was slightly stunned. Although he was surprised, he followed the guards calmly to the inside of the mansion. It wasn't until he left the mansion more than a hundred steps and passed through several houses that he pretended to be casual and asked the guard: "This is not the first time I've come to Mi Mansion. This visit was an impromptu visit and was not agreed with Zizhong beforehand. Your Majesty has informed you in advance, which surprises A Niu. "I wonder when you came to your Majesty for instructions." Stop the mouth of a certain city lord. The guard of the Mi Mansion obviously did not expect how stupid it would be to compete with A Niu, who has teleportation skills, and let him walk as fast as flying. Aniu can also follow closely like a leisurely stroll, without pulling a step. However, in this case, A Niu was too embarrassed to continue to inquire about the truth on the road, and just secretly guessed along the way. "Mi Zhu just said hello to the guards a few days ago. In the past few days, there have been sudden movements, which obviously happened for a reason. Three days ago, the news that I was expected to be the Prime Minister of Qi had not been leaked, but Mi Zhu seemed to have known about it in advance. It seems that this Xuzhou The wealthy businessman's ears and eyes were quite good. Mi Zhu even judged that I might come to Mi Mansion for help, and made some arrangements in advance. This wisdom made people dare not underestimate it. A certain city lord quickly made a decision: "Forget it. Now that they already know, I don¡¯t have to beat around the bush later and simply explain the purpose of my visit. Compared with the absolute uneasiness before entering the house, Ah Niu has a little more confidence in his heart at this time. This confidence comes entirely from Ah Niu¡¯s understanding of Analysis of the situation: It is basically certain that the Mi family knew about the Prime Minister of Qi in advance. In this case, Mi Zhu made no excuses to avoid showing up, which shows that the matter is not entirely non-negotiable! Now that there is an opportunity to meet and discuss, anything is possible! The guards of Mi Mansion led a certain city lord to a living room. Immediately, a beautiful maid brought tea, and the guard cupped her hands and said: "Someone has gone to the backyard to inform the young master. The young master will be there shortly. Lord Aniu can rest here for a while." Aniu nodded, the guard Turn around and leave. Along the way, the guards acted neither humble nor overbearing, and showed thorough etiquette, allowing Aniu to fully experience the profound heritage of a century-old wealthy family from the side. Mi Zhu arrived very quickly, with half of the cup of tea still in his throat. He is still dressed in fine clothes and has a jade belt, he is still so handsome and handsome, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his elegant, humble, calm and calm temperament has not changed at all, but A Niu can still feel that the way Mi Zhu looks at him seems to be a little different from before. , of course, Mi Zhu didn't show it obviously, it was just A Niu's faint intuition. "The distinguished guest has come from afar and cannot be welcomed. Mi Zhu deeply apologizes." After saying this, he bowed deeply and seemed to have completely forgotten that he was the one who informed the guards that there was no need to wait and directly let a certain city lord enter the palace to meet him. This wealthy family has been there since childhood. The successor who was trained was indeed not an ordinary person who could be better than A Niu in dealing with others. Even though he wanted to talk to Mi Zhu about borrowing money right away, he still had to be patient and exchange some non-nutritious nonsense according to the rules. It was hard to get through this procedure. A Niu immediately turned to the topic, somewhat impatiently. "I came here this time to discuss something important." Mi Zhu smiled, raised his head slightly and looked directly at A Niu, making a gesture of listening. "Zizhong must have known by now that the rumors about Qi's position Mi Zhu nodded slightly, but still said nothing. A certain city lord had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "What I want to say is that the rumors from the outside are not groundless. " "Because I successfully rebuilt Luoyang and restored some of the old appearance of the royal capital, I was nominated by the imperial court to serve as the Prime Minister of Qi. This matter also shocked the unanimous consent of Yizhou Yuan Benchu ??and Qingzhou Sheng Ziyuan. At the same time, the court proposed that Fengxiang must pay a huge donation to express its sincerity to the court. A Niu should be happy to obey the emperor's will, even if he loses his family and property, he would not dare to say anything. However, although Feng Xiang has a small fortune, after many arrangements, he is really unable to make a good relationship with Chang'an, so he has no choice but to do so. I can only come to Chexian County to be shameless and noble. . Before A Niu could finish speaking, Mi Zhu waved her hand. He said in a deep voice: "Express your loyalty to the imperial court.?, this is wrong. The donation of 20 million yuan was half of Qingzhou Sheng Ziyuan's, and the other half was divided equally between Chang'an and Handeng. "Xiahuang Si Xin Dong said that their 50 million yuan can be postponed, and they still have to wait for the appointment of Qi State Minister It is worth 10 million yuan, even when the late emperor was on the throne. The price for selling an official position in Xiyuan is not that high. This is not an expression of loyalty to the imperial court. It is clear that Sheng Ziyuan and Yuan Benchu ??were determined to be unable to give up and were looking for an opportunity to blackmail. You know, the face of a certain city lord changed drastically! Although it is no secret that A Niu may become the Prime Minister of Qi and face huge donation requests, the specific amount of the donation is still a mystery. Details such as who will pocket the 200 million donation and how it will be distributed have never been revealed. Mi Zhu can. Speaking of these words, it is obvious that he has a deep understanding of this matter. "The Mi family of Donghai is worthy of being a wealthy businessman with a history of hundreds of years. Zizhong actually knows all the hidden secrets in this matter. I admire him! admire! Mi Zhu looked at a certain city lord intently for a while, then said in an understated tone: "The Mi family has been in business for several generations, and painful lessons have taught us that although it is not necessarily impossible to survive purely by relying on commercial means, it will often cost a lot of extra money. subject to many unexpected constraints. Looking across the country, all the major wealthy business families have made great efforts to make a fuss outside the shopping malls, either to win over local officials or to send family children to enter the official career. It is difficult for a pure businessman to get a good development, or even survive. is a problem. " Seemingly not wanting to leave a bad impression on A Niu that "you are investigating me," Mi Zhu explained: "Fengxiang is a partner of the Mi family. The family has a high opinion of A Niu City Master's talent, character, and development potential. We will naturally handle your matter. Will be more attentive. Therefore, it is not surprising that we have some understanding of the problems A Niu encountered this time. " At this point, Mi Zhu glanced at A Niu meaningfully. Mi Zhu did not deliberately hide anything when he said this. It can be said that he was extremely frank, and A Niu had to suffer. In fact, even if he did not seek help from Mi this time, just relying on Mi Zhu¡¯s frankness made A Niu unable to blame his opponent. ¡°We can probably guess a little bit about A Niu¡¯s purpose. Now I just want to ask A Niu a question. " "Well, a certain city lord looked solemn. "With all due respect, with Fengxiang's current strength and development potential, if we work hard for a few more years, there will be opportunities to seize the position of princes in the changing times. But now, Fengxiang's foundation is not stable, and the one-year period of governing Henan has begun. , it is rumored that Longfei City in Jincheng County, Liangzhou is also the territory of A Niu. With such a foundation, but he spent so much money to buy the position of Prime Minister, the Lord of A Niu City cares so much about the status of the princes at the expense of the development potential of the territory in the future? Is the price worth it? "A Niu was already prepared for this problem. He smiled calmly and said: "Maybe I will have the opportunity to join the ranks of princes in the future, maybe not, who is sure? I only know that the opportunity cannot be missed, and time waits for no one. Now that there is such an opportunity now, I will work hard to still fight for it." If there is hope, if I retreat and place my hope in the vague future, wouldn't it be too negative? I will do my best to win the title of Prime Minister of Qi! " "As for the status of the princes, it is undeniable. Niu attaches great importance to it and wants to get it quickly, but this desire is not for A Niu¡¯s personal gain, but for the entire army and people of Fengxiang!¡± ¡°Since Zizhong knows so many things about Fengxiang, he should also know about Fengxiang and Qingzhou Prefecture! What a deep hatred has been formed. Fengxiang cannot be insulted. The men of Fengxiang are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood to defend the territory. We may win many times, but we will definitely not be able to compete with Shenghong who has the power of the entire Qingzhou for a long time. I don¡¯t want to see it! At this time, the loyal and brave soldiers died unwillingly one by one, and they couldn't bear the Fengxiang people to lose their homes and freedom. Being appointed as the Prime Minister of Qi will bring the strength of both parties closer to a large extent, and also significantly improve Fengxiang's ability to fight for a long time. "I, there is no other way." choose! Facing A Niu, who was a little excited and unable to control himself, Mi Zhu fell silent. After a while, Mi Zhu stood up and said: "Since A Niu City Lord has made up his mind, a certain City Lord's heart sank, and he was too embarrassed to continue." Lai stayed in his seat and when he stood up, Aniu was mentally prepared to be kicked out. "The Prime Minister of Qi has no respect, what a shame!" A Niu thought to himself. "This matter is of great importance and cannot be finalized by Mi Zhu alone. Please follow me to see my father again. The Lord of Aniu City can explain the terms of the loan directly to my father later." After thinking about it, Mi Zhu added seriously. : "Although my father has a good impression of A Niu, Mi is a businessman. In the recommendation business, huge loans are extremely risky. If A Niu can't put forward conditions that are enough to make us happy, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to achieve. ¡± The little heart that had just dropped the net was suddenly raised to the throat again. ????????????????????????????????? halfA few minutes later, the negotiation with Mi Zhu's father and head of the Mi family ended. A certain city lord walked out of the room alone, looking a little confused. "how so?"
