Both sides were tacit, and the next thing was to have a conversation. Sun Ce accepted Tao Qian's gift, gave up his plan to station troops in Pengcheng, and could be friends with Tao Qian's son. He was even willing to arrange for them to study in Nanyang martial arts hall. In exchange, Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang would recruit Sun Ce as a private person and become Sun Ce's subordinate.

In order to give Mi Fang a higher starting point, Mi Zhu was willing to provide three hundred fully equipped cavalry as Mi Fang's troops.

Sun Ce agreed and arranged for Qin Mu to go to Mi Zhu to assess the strength of Mi Fang and Mi Family's troops. Whether it was a transaction or to consider Mi Fang's safety, it was necessary to select qualified cavalry, and filling in the numbers would only waste money. Qu County is on the beach and has a long journey. He has to pass through Pengcheng, Xia Pi and Donghai counties, and must obtain Tao Qian's permission. However, with Mi Zhu, these are not a problem.

Mi Zhu's mission was completed beyond imagination. Tao Qian's goal was achieved, and Mi family also received unexpected joy. Sun Ce held a banquet to greet Mi Zhu, and the host and the host were happy. Mi Zhu's wish was to be a Confucian businessman, gain both fame and fortune, while Sun Ce's wish was to be a general businessman and do business with a sword. He wanted to use powerful force to cooperate with business development, and to use the rich profits of business to support soldiers.

Sun Ce said, my father also did business when he was young. He was not as big as yours, and he often encountered pirates, so he abandoned the merchants and joined the army. Now he is a little powerful. After the war in the future, I will also do business and use the army to protect my merchant ships. Let's see which pirate dares to rob me.

Mi Zhu laughed and felt that he had a common language with Sun Ce and could be very good at talking. With the help of wine, the two of them became more and more speculative and unknowingly became brothers. Taking advantage of this heat, Sun Ce and Mi Zhu agreed to have the opportunity to do business together, especially salt. There is no salt mine in Nanyang, and salt is entirely purchased. The East China Sea is on the beach, and there is a natural condition to operate the salt industry. In the past, it was because of the salt monopoly, and the Mi family was powerless. Now the world is in chaos and the court cannot control it. It is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Mi Zhu agreed immediately.

Du Xi was stunned. He told Guo Jia that he originally thought that the general was just using troops like a god, but now he realized that he had a better way of doing business.

Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and patted Du Xi's shoulder and said, "You can follow the general with peace of mind. Keeping Xiangxian County is only the first step. If you have a chance in the future, we will still compete with Yuan Shao."

Du Xi was both surprised and happy.

Although Guo Jia was frivolous, he was not a casual person, otherwise Sun Ce would not have let him serve as a military sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific

He said it briefly, but Du Xi was excited. He had no confidence in defending Xiangxian County, and felt that Sun Ce would give up Yuzhou sooner or later, manage Jingzhou with all his might, and eventually retreat to Jiangnan. From the bottom of his heart, he had a little regret. If he gave up Yuzhou, he would leave his hometown. Now, after hearing what Guo Jia said, he knew that although Sun Ce would focus on Jingzhou, he would not give up Yuzhou easily, so he naturally couldn't find it. If the front line could be maintained in the battle between the Yellow River and the Huai River, it would be great.

After drinking and eating, Mi Zhu left and took Qin Mu and ten knights.

After Sun Ce, Guo Jia and Du Xi discussed, he invited Ge Sheng and others to show them Tao Qian's gift list. Now I am working with Tao Qian and have food. You can select the people as soon as possible and count the number of people. I can allocate grain for you.

Ge Sheng and others were overjoyed. Comparing people with others was so angry that they were so angry that they had put in a lot of effort to have enough food. However, their harvest was still limited. As soon as Sun Ce arrived, before he could do anything, Tao Qian sent 200,000 stones of grain. Ge Sheng recommended himself that I would go to the general to meet the general Guan Hai, and discuss the alliance with him. Qingxu Huang Turban suffered a great loss in the Northern Expedition last year, and now he should need the general's help.

Sun Ce was more cautious about the matter of the Yellow Turban Army. Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, was signed by Gongsun Zan. From the overall situation, Gongsun Zan was still his ally. He could not act recklessly, destroy the alliance, and let Yuan Shao make profits. He called Wuzhou and asked him to go to Qingzhou to meet with Tian Kai. In addition to reporting on the recruitment of the Yellow Turban Army, he also had to join forces with Tian Kai to encircle Liu Bei, a traitor. If Liu Bei accepted Tao Qian's 4,000 Danyang soldiers before, it was just a matter within the alliance, and now Liu Bei accepted Yuan Shao's appointment, he was a traitor. As Liu Bei's former superior official, Tian Kai had a traitor, and there was no reason not to take action.

Wu Zhou followed his orders.

——

Xinpi stood outside the gate of the inner city of Wancheng, watching a group of seven or eight-year-old children walking into the gate in groups of three or five with their schoolbags, talking and laughing, their faces were filled with happiness, but they could not be happy at all.

He traveled around Wancheng for two days and looked at many places, but without a clerk, he couldn't enter the inner city, so he could only stand outside the city gate to see. It would be fine if anything else, but these seemingly inconspicuous children brought him great pressure.

First of all, this is a moral policy. Regardless of whether Sun Ce is hypocritical or not, he can select 100 children to attend school, and also provides brush and ink stationery, and a free lunch every day, which can bring Sun Ce a lot of good reputation, and strictly guarantee the proportion of poor children from a family, which makes Sun Ce earn a lot of reputation among ordinary people, but the Nanyang family cannot have any complaints.

Secondly, this is a very visionary move. Sun Ce built Mu Academy and Bencao Tang, but no matter how he induces him, the children of aristocratic families who have no worries about food and clothing and are not worried about their future will not be willing to be craftsmen or doctors. Sun Ce trains these children from poor families to cultivate successors for Mu Academy and Bencao Tang. These children are literate and literate, and have started to train them since childhood. They will definitely be more likely to achieve results than those who are ignorant of people. It is not impossible to produce a few more geniuses like Huang Yueying in the future.

Sun Ce is very real. He didn't play with those false things and did all solid things. If he gave him three or five years, Nanyang would be firmly controlled by him. If he gave him ten years, the strength of a county in Nanyang might exceed that of the entire Jizhou. If he didn't have to fight, Yuan Shao would be defeated.

If you want to defeat Sun Ce, you must either learn his methods and develop smoothly with him, or destroy him before he has accumulated enough strength and take away Nanyang. In comparison, the latter seems to be a little easier. However, with Gongsun Zan's army approaching, it is really hard to say whether Yuan Shao can make this decision.

Xinpi was in a daze when suddenly he felt someone staring at him. He turned quietly for a while, his eyes fell on the four-wheeled carriage. The carriage window was half open, and a man was waving to him. Xinpi carefully identified it and was overjoyed. He looked around, but no one paid attention to him, so he pretended to be very casual. Following the crowd, he walked slowly to the carriage and stopped.

"Mr. Boqiu, why are you here?"
