Kong Rong came to the inn. Sure enough, like everyone else, he also had a closed door. but. I thought if I could not see the news of the merchant surnamed Mi spread back. The entire Puyang city will probably be jumping around soon. Kong Rong had to harden his scalp. Continue to say to the entourage outside the door: "I beg you to report again. I will say that I am in Xia Kongrong. I once had an acquaintance with Master Xuzhou Mi."
The entourage listened. Surprised: "It turns out that my husband has some friendship with the owner of my family. Why didn't you say it earlier. Please wait a moment, please wait for someone to report."
Mi's family is the richest man in Xuzhou. Most of the family property comes from business. Kong Rong knows this very well. So he heard Xun Yu introduce this businessman's surname Mi. He took it for granted that it was Mi Zhu himself. Therefore, Kong Rong simply reported his name. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't buy his account. but. I heard that the other party really belongs to Mi's family in Xuzhou. Kong Rong was very relieved.
Not for a while. There was a hearty laugh from inside the door. A man greeted him. He folded his hands and said: "I didn't expect Master Kong to be his brother's old friend. I was so indifferent just now. Please forgive me, Mr.
Although Kong Rong considers himself very high. But now there is something to ask for. But he didn't dare to entrust it. Repeatedly called harassment. After entering the inn. They couldn't help but exchange greetings with each other. Kong Rong asked about Mi Zhu's current situation again. Learned that he had become a senior official under Liu Xin. Can not help but let out a sigh. This explains what I came for.
Mi Fang's face was hard to look immediately. Frowning said: "In business, it is profitable. Mi has worked so hard to transport this batch of grain to Puyang. Naturally, I want to make a lot of money. Now even a fool can see it. The price of food in Puyang City. It will continue to rise. How could Mi dispose of the grain at this time. Although Master Kong is an old friend of his brother. But this matter, Mi can never agree."
Kong Rong hurriedly said: "Without this batch of grain. Le Jin and others are going to raid the people. Kong knows that Mr. Zizhong has always loved the people. If he knows that you are selling the grain to Xun Yu under such circumstances. Yes. I will definitely not blame you."
Mi Fang laughed loudly and said: "Master Kong probably doesn't know yet. Now my brother has become Hubuyou servant. The business affairs are now in charge of Mi. It's not a secret. Mi thinks that there is no food for sale yet. The best time. So let Master Kong go back."
Kong Rong reluctantly returned to Xunyu's mansion. Tell Xun Yu exactly what happened. He shook his head again. Sigh again. Show that you really can't do anything.
in fact. Kong Rong and Mi Fang talked about something in the inn. Xun Yu already knew it perfectly. In order to watch this batch of grain. Xun Yu had already replaced many of the guys in the inn with his work. When Kong Rong talked with Mi Fang. The writers are eavesdropping next door. And quickly reported to Xun Yu.
but. Xun Yu pretended to be ignorant. Listen carefully to Kong Rong's speech. I also asked for a few more questions when I encountered an important place. Completely fooled the honest Kong Rong. Then he said: "Master Kong. This batch of food is related to more than 100,000 people in Puyang City. Let's take a harder trip. Xun Mou thanked the people in the city."
Kong Rong sighed. He said: "Master Xun knows something. If his brother comes in person, there will be no difficulty in this matter. Who knows that Mi Fang has a very different personality from his brother. He only recognizes money but not people. Not to mention the suffering of the people."
Xun Yu smiled and said, "As long as he recognizes the money. It will be easier."
Kong Rong raised his head in surprise. Said: "As far as Kong is known. Not only does the prime minister lack food. I'm afraid he doesn't have much money."
Xun Yu waved his hand. Said: "Master Kong has a deep knowledge of poetry and essays. He knows little about business. Merchants are not fake. But real merchants don't just do a single transaction. They want to have a long relationship. You just Tell Mi Fang. As long as he is willing to sell us the grain, then we will maintain long-term cooperation with him."
Kong Rong hesitated. Said: "I'm afraid he still won't agree."
Xun Yu saw Kong Rong push three and resist four. I can't wait to talk to Mi Fang myself. It's a pity that he can't even see Mi Fang's face. I had to patiently persuade: "Master Kong. Xun will teach you a trick. I don't have to worry that he won't agree...."
Kong Rong listened to Xun Yu whispered a few words. Can not help frowning. Said: "Do this. Isn't it a bit unnatural?"
Xun Yu sank his face. Said: "Couldn't Master Kong think about it for the people."
Kong Rong had no choice but to return to the inn. Asked to visit Mi Fang again.
Seeing Kong Rong go and come back. Mi Fang looked very upset. The words are very cold. Did not even serve tea. Kong Rong hardened his scalp. He repeated what Xun Yu said to him just now. But Mi Fang waved his hand. Said: "Long-term cooperation is not a bad idea. However. Everything has to wait for Mi to complete this business before discussing."
Seeing that Mi Fang had to order her to see off the guests again. Kong Rong quickly raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute. Kong has something to say."
Mi Fang glared at him. Does not answer.
Kong Rong lowered his head in embarrassment. He whispered: "Kong knows. Liu Xin strictly forbids the export of grain. You smuggled the grain to Puyang. If this matter is known to him, I am afraid that it is not only you. Even your brother will be implicated."
A panic flashed in Mi Fang's eyes. Immediately sneered, "Master Kong is threatening Mi."
Kong Rong always felt that he was very immoral to do so. I'm even more sorry to Mi Zhu. So after finishing talking. He kept his head down. No change in the expression on Mi Fang's face at all. but. The "buddy" who was hiding in the next door was peeping, but it was clear. Nodded secretly. Order someone to write down this scene.
Just when Kong Rong hesitated how to answer. Mi Fang suddenly laughed. Said: "This batch of food. Mi ordered someone to guard it day and night. As long as he noticed any wind and grass, he burned it. This loss. Our Mi family can still afford it. When Mi left Xiangyang. Such a large convoy. Naturally, I can’t hide it from others. It’s just that no one knows that the car is loaded with grain. Even if someone tells Mrs. Liu, it’s already burnt to nothing. How can I prove that Mi smuggled grain.
Kong Rong doesn't like playing tricks. No wonder Mi Fang still had such a hand. Suddenly he was speechless.
But after hearing Mi Fang's words, the front changed. Said: "But. We are businessmen. We are mainly seeking money. It is not a last resort. Mi is unwilling to make such a bad move. I also ask Master Kong to go back and tell Xun Yu. I can do this business with him. But I have one more condition."
Kong Rong couldn't help being overjoyed. Hurriedly asked: "What are the conditions?"
Mi Fang said quietly: "Mi wants you to send your wife and children here as a qualifier."
Kong Rong suddenly angered and said: "How does this make it?"
Mi Fang snorted coldly. "Just now you threatened Mi with smuggling grain. How could Mi not be prevented. If you agree, let it be. If you don't agree, Mi burns the grain on fire. He returns to Runan. He will never cross the border again. step."
Kong Rong looked at Mi Fang's resolutely. I had to stand up and say: "And Rong Kong goes back to discuss it."
Mi Fang waved his hand impatiently. Said: "Since you already know the origin of Mi's grain. Naturally, he won't stay here for long. You can go back to discuss it, but it shouldn't be too late. Mi can't afford that effort."
Kong Rong could not help cursing secretly in his heart. So many days. I haven't seen you rushing to get rid of these grains. Now I can even say things that don't take much effort. but. Scolded scolded. Kong Rong did not dare to stay for long. Say goodbye quickly. Discussed.
Of course. Kong Rong did not go home to discuss with his wife and children. In his eyes. You can sacrifice your wife and children for the sake of justice. He hurried to see Xun Yu.
Xun Yu had already known what they were talking about. I am quite content with the success of this threat plan I set myself. But strongly hold down the excitement. Waited until Kong Rong finished. Then he got up and bowed deeply to Kong Rong. Said: "A certain generation prime minister and the people in the city thank Mr. Wenju for his great kindness."
His worship. Kong Rong had the slightest hesitation. There was nothing to say at this time. It's just that his face is quite ugly. After all, parting with family life. No one wants to see it.
Since then. Xun Yu has changed his tune and no longer calls Kong Rong Master Kong. Instead, he smiled and said: "Mr. Wenju, don't worry. Xun has a plan. You can guarantee that your wife and children will not be in any danger. And when the prime minister comes back, you can also credit your husband."
Kong Rong hurriedly asked, "Master Xun has any strategies to teach me."
"Mr. Wenju sacrificed himself. He saved the people of the city and hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line. Xun Mou dare not to be an official position anymore. Please call Mr. Xun Mou Wenruo." Xun Yu has the important task of raising food and grass. And Kong Rong helped him solve his urgent need this time. Xun Yu's attitude towards Kong Rong suddenly became enthusiastic. Said. "Mr. Wen Ju can explain to Mi Fang. Wife and children can be the hostage of Mi's family. But you must let your wife and children live in Mi Zhu's mansion."
Xun Yu especially emphasized that Kong Rong's wife and children were entrusted to the Mi family. Rather than leave it to Mi Fang as the quality. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Since Kong Rong's wife and children were handed over to the Mi family as a pledge. And Mi Zhu is the head of the Mi family. Kong Rong's wife and children live in his mansion with a sense of justice. Everyone knows. Mi Zhu is a moral model who sits on his feet. He is there. Naturally, the safety of Kong Rong's wife and children can be guaranteed. Simultaneously. This can also drag Mi Zhu into the water with the entire Mi family. Although Mi Zhu, the right minister of the household department, was an official position "created" by Liu Xin. But he controls Liu Xinye's next large area of business. With his help. Do you still worry about the food not being delivered to Puyang smoothly in the future
Kong Rong was originally a man who was willing to abandon his wife and children for the sake of justice. Now I get another point from Xun Yu. Naturally, there is no hesitation. Immediately return to his house. Set up a light car. The crying wife and two ignorant children were sent to the inn.
Mi Fang was very refreshing this time. On the spot, he agreed to Kong Rong's request. He vowed to ensure that his wife and children would be properly placed in his brother's house. At that time, Mi Zhu will be asked to compile a letter personally and send him a settlement. As for food. Mi Fang waved his hand. Said: "It can be delivered at any time."
