Chapter 65: Getting to know Mi Zhu

"No one is allowed to come in without my permission." The middle-aged man ordered.

After the servant left, he bowed and said, "In Xia Mizhu, whose courtesy name is Zizhong, I pay homage to Lord Lu."

Dian Wei stood up, with a long sword on his waist away from the sheath, staring at Mi Zhu.

"Oh, how did you recognize me?" Lu Bu said curiously. From the other party's tone, he saw no malice.

"There are soldiers who once attacked Dong Zhuo in the restaurant. I met an adult by chance. I had some minor misunderstandings in the shop a few days ago. I apologized for the next generation." Mi Zhu's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not moved by Dian Wei who was staring at him.

"But Xuzhou Mi Zhu?" Lu Bu asked.

"It's right here." Mi Zhu's heart flashed countless questions. He did not think that he would know a businessman from Xuzhou as a dignified Bingzhou governor, although his status in Xuzhou is not low.

"Looking for a long time." Lu Bu bowed.

"You are polite. I have just arrived in Chang'an. I didn't expect to hear the people in the restaurant tell you that when you see the adults, you must have something important to you when you go to Chang'an. It's not convenient to contact me. I didn't expect that you will visit my store today." Mi Zhu has been doing business for many years and has seen people of all kinds, so he naturally understands what to say and what not to say.

"Brother Zizhong, please sit down." Lu Bu suddenly thought of many books in Cai Yong's study. With Cai Yong's character of loving books as much as his life, he definitely did not want to abandon it. Mi Zhu in front of him might be able to help him.

Besides, books cannot be found just by wanting to have them. Many people regard them as treasures and do not agree to lend them to others. If you want to print books, you need to have original books. If the books in Cai Yong's study are brought to Jinyang, it will save a lot of trouble.

"Thank you, sir." Mi Zhu said respectfully.

"Brother Zizhong, don't be polite. I have something to trouble Zizhong. I wonder if it's convenient?" Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Sir, even if you say it bluntly, you will definitely do your best."

"My teacher wanted to go to Bingzhou, but the books at home were inconvenient. I wonder if Zi Zhong could do it on his behalf and transport it to Jinyang?"

Mi Zhu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Okay, Brother Zizhong is really happy. Even if you pay for it, Bingzhou is poor, you still have this little money." Lu Bu was a little happy to see that Cai Yong's problem was solved.

"Sir, I have a heartless request." Mi Zhu stood up and bowed.

"Brother Zizhong just say it." Lu Bu picked up a cup of wine and drank it all in one go.

"There are few horses in the Central Plains, and there are many war horses in Bingzhou, don't you know?" Mi Zhu asked tentatively. After all, Lu Bu was a state governor with hundreds of thousands of lives and deaths. He was the lowest-level businessman. Although he had some status in Xuzhou, in the eyes of the princes, he was worthless and had to be careful.

"I understand what Zizhong means." Lu Bu said after pondering for a moment: "The journey from Chang'an to Jinyang is long, and five hundred war horses will be given to Zizhong."

Seeing Mi Zhu was more cheerful, Lu Bu was also very happy. The other party was a famous businessman in history and was also associated with Liu Bei. If he could win over it, it would definitely be a great help.

Five hundred war horses may be a huge number for the princes in the Central Plains, and the number of war horses eliminated by the Bingzhou army is more than this.

"My lord misunderstood. The meaning of "I" is to buy it by paying for it." Mi Zhu smiled.

"Buy it?" Lu Bu thought for a while, then understood Mi Zhu's intention and smiled and said, "Yes."

Mi Zhu showed joy on his face. He came to see Lu Bu today. It was for this matter that trafficking war horses made a lot of profits. Many merchants have set their sights on this piece of fat. Youzhou is not Gongsun Zan, and Liangzhou is not Ma Teng, but Bingzhou's governor is Lu Bu. As long as he has a good relationship with him, he is still worried about not having war horses. At that time, the strength of the Mi family will definitely be improved even more.

"Thank you, sir. I heard that the price of selling the war horse to Prefect Sun was forty stones of grain." Mi Zhu began to negotiate.

When Lu Bu mentioned this, he felt a little unhappy. Sun Jian returned to Jiangdong and stole the jade seal, but did not pay for the war horses. "It's just five thousand yuan per war horse, but I only have food and grass."

Mi Zhu naturally knew the price and detailed content of the transaction between Lu Bu and Sun Jian. As a businessman, he had his own channels to find out the news, "Just as the adults said."

However, when Mi Zhu learned that Lu Bu's teacher was actually a great scholar Cai Yong, he was shocked and understood why Lu Bu agreed so happily. Cai Yong's trip to Bingzhou was a big shock for Chang'an.

After hearing this news, Mi Zhu did not dare to neglect. He had some connections in Chang'an, and he could still transport things out of the city as long as he had some resources.

There are few horses in the Central Plains, and there are even more good horses. Horses from Bingzhou are still very popular. As long as they are operated properly, the profits will be considerable.

Shortly after Mi Zhu left, Guan Yu rushed over with the city lieutenant. The guy looked excited and his face was flushed. He seemed very excited about being able to do things under Lu Bu.

The city gate lieutenant is not a high-ranking official in Chang'an City, but he has real power in his hands. He will not bow down to the people of the Cai Mansion, and his tone is quite plain, "Where is the city gate lieutenant Wang Fang, how dare you ask me?"

"Person Wang, I am the second son of the second son, is a distant relative of Lord Cai Yong. In the past two days, Lord Cai may have to go out of the city to visit friends. When passing by the city gate, you will inevitably encounter cross-examination. Lord Cai is old and cannot stand the trouble. I am making a move and beg Captain Wang..."

Wang Fang interrupted Lu Bu's words, "Don't worry, Lord Cai is respectful, we will definitely not make things difficult for us. It's just that there are many stingy people in Chang'an City, and the prime minister has a order. Those who enter and exit the city gate will be investigated strictly."

Lu Bu understood what Wang Fang meant, nodded at Dian Wei, and Dian Wei walked up to put some gold on the table.

"Some common things are to express your feelings and buy some wine for your brothers." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"How can this be done?" Having said that, Wang Fang put away the gold with his eyes lit up.

"You are also considering Lord Cai. As the city gate captain, I should take care of Lord Cai's integrity." Wang Fang said with a smile.

Seeing that the matter was done, Lu Bu was relieved. As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to mess with, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with. If he bribed the city gate captain, he would be more sure of leaving the city.

Wang Fang was indeed an old man in the army. He had known that the wine in this restaurant was expensive, so he quickly poured himself into the same amount.

"Mr. Qiao, you see, the villain has made a great contribution. Should he be reused?" Guan Yu pressed up with a thick face.

"Guan Yu, let me ask you, what do you know?" Lu Bu turned his eyes to Guan Yu.

"I know so much. I can get on the horse and get off the horse and become an official."

Looking at Guan Yu's complacent expression, Lu Bu felt sick. How could there be such funny people in ancient times? They were too narcissistic. Even the name might be after Guan Yu became famous. He changed it by the way, "What will be what they will do in detail."
