Mi Zhu was a businessman, with a generous temperament and worldly sophistication. After a few simple pleasantries, he invited Wei Shi into the city to talk in detail.

If a craftsman who is good at making instruments and a talented person with fantastic ideas can be recruited into the Mi family, then the Mi family's industry will reach a higher level.

In order to make Wei Shi have confidence in him, Mi Zhu began to ceremoniously recommend his lord, Zuo General Liu Bei.

From Mi Zhu's narrative, Wei Shi learned that Liu Biao, in order to express his sincerity in welcoming Liu Bei to Jing, specially wrote to declare Liu Bei as the governor of Xinye.

After the Battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, and the northern part of Jingzhou was exposed naked to Cao Cao's army.

Liu Biao was deeply worried about this.

It was Liu Biao's wishful thinking to rely on Liu Bei's strength to prevent Cao Cao from going south.

Liu Bei also knew this very well.

The reason why he stayed in Xiangyang was, on the one hand, to continue bargaining with Liu Biao for supplies; on the other hand, he also actively looked for opportunities to lobby Jingzhou celebrities and win over as many talented generals as possible.

At the head of Xinye City, the Dawang Banner changes.

Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen were nominally the owners of the Mi Home Textile Company, but they were actually the signal for Liu Bei to enter Xinye.

Among the soldiers guarding the city, there were many smart people. They had seen Wei and Mi talking early on. The guard leading the team nodded and bowed, with a smile on his face.

The county magistrate will be replaced soon.

Those of them who eat from the public family still have to look at the new master's face.

Wei Shi was on good terms with Mi Zhu, and that was someone they could not afford to offend.

The group entered the city smoothly. Wei Shi and Song Yuniang were waiting at Mi's store. After a while, Mi Zhu changed into regular clothes, came out of the back hall, and welcomed Wei Shi into the inner hall.

The hall was kept very clean, with no extraneous things. There was a beautiful screen at the back, blocking the view of people coming from outside.

"Master Mi, this is the territory of the spinning wheel. Wei decided to contribute free of charge to General Zuo for military supplies." When Wei Shi saw Mi Zhu, he didn't say much, and took out the elm board from the bag behind his back.

carve.

Now that he wants to use Liu Bei's power to deal with Cai Guang and others, this is not the time to be stingy and pretentious.

Mi Zhu took the spinning wheel engraving with a stunned expression and asked: "Zhu remembers that the last time the Mi family wanted to purchase the territory, the Wei brothers refused. Now for some reason they have changed their minds?"

Wei Shi's expression changed slightly, he nodded, and said in a low tone: "To be honest, Head Mi, I am indeed encountering difficulties now, and I need the support of General Zuo and the Mi family. Yuniang, come forward and tell me what you heard.

Let’s talk about the situation.”

Song Yuniang moved forward, sobbing while narrating, her eyes were purple and her thin body was shaking slightly, which made people feel more and more pity for her.

On the way, she had been warned several times by Wei Shi and knew that this was the key to gaining Mi Zhu's trust.

There are witnesses, there are witnesses to the injuries, there are specific details.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but not believe it.

After Song Yuniang cried, Wei Shi looked at Mi Zhu with a serious look on his face.

"Master Mi, you are an expert. I don't need to say more about the advantages of using a spinning wheel. There are two things I want to ask for. One is that I hope the Mi family can temporarily take in Yu Niang to avoid the Cai family; the other is that I want to borrow a

A team of soldiers took the lives of Cai Guang and other evil thieves and village bullies."

Cai Guang and others repeatedly touched Wei Shi's bottom line.

If you continue to tolerate it, it will only make them worse.

This time, Wei Shi sacrificed all the benefits of the new spinning wheel and settled his grudges with Cai Guang and others.

"There is no problem in keeping Yuniang in the company. Brother Wei, would you like to think again about borrowing troops? My Mi family has never been involved in matters related to military power in the army?"

Mi Zhu hesitated for a while and did not agree to everything.

Taking in Song Yuniang didn't matter. The key was that Wei Shi offered to borrow troops to kill.

Behind Cai Guang and others is the Cai family.

Mi Zhu knows this very well.

If the generals were lent to Wei Shi and the news reached Cai Mao, the already bad relationship between the two parties would become even worse.

Is it worthwhile to offend Liu Biao’s confidant Cai Mao for a new spinning wheel?

Mi Zhu couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Wei Shi cupped his hands and said: "Since Master Mi is unwilling to help, Wei will take his leave. The spinning wheel engraving just now should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to General Zuo. In the future, more advanced spinning wheels will appear anyway.

....”

Mi Zhu hesitated to make a decision, which made him feel quite disappointed.

Although Mi Zhu was a good businessman, his strategic vision and decision-making ability were average. No wonder Mi Zhu gradually faded away from Liu Bei after the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Wei, I have a question..." Just as Wei Shi turned around, a clear female voice sounded from behind the screen.

Mi Zhen listened behind for a long time. Then she saw that Wei Shi was about to leave, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and moved to meet him.

"Madam, please speak?" Wei Shi bowed and saluted with a respectful expression.

Mi Zhen's status was that she was the wife of the left general Liu Bei, which was equivalent to the status of a mistress, so Wei Shi should respect her.

"I dare to ask Wei Langjun, is what you just said true? Is the spinning wheel you said better than this?" Mi Zhen took the engraving from Mi Zhu's hand, held it and placed it on her bulging chest.

"Of course. There are many good ideas in Wei's mind." Wei Shi replied proudly, raising his head and looking directly into Mi Zhen's eyes.

In the eyes of others, Mi Zhen is a noble and important person.

In Wei Shi's eyes, Mi Zhen was an unfortunate woman who was pitiable.

"Okay, I have taken care of General Zuo's matter concerning Wei Langjun. Brother, please go to the military camp outside the city, explain the reason to Zilong in detail, and ask him to send a team of soldiers to help Wei Langjun."

Mi Zhen nodded, the dimples on her cheeks looming.

Wei Shi was overjoyed when he heard this. Liu Bei was in Xiangyang, and the important task of protecting Mi Zhen seemed to be given to Zhao Yun.

With the help of such a fierce general, it is easy to deal with cats and dogs like Cai Lichang and Cai Guang.

"Wei Langjun, I also have something to ask for. I just heard from Yu Niang that Mrs. Ru has a checkered life experience, but she can help the village and her neighbors. She is a strange woman. After the Cai family's matter is settled, Langjun, please don't forget

Come on, take your wife to the city."

Mi Zhen said with a smile that she had a special status and it was not easy for her to meet Wei Shi casually without Mi Zhu present.

If Han Qiuyun comes and there are any urgent matters, she will relay them to Wei Shi in a more flexible and convenient manner.

Song Yuniang was left by Mi Zhen's side as a maid for the time being.

It took her a long time to wake up from the shock.

Wei Shi's speech and performance just now amazed her.

"Sister Qiuyun is so lucky to have found a good man like Wei Langjun. If Wei Langjun could choose me in the primary election, then..." Song Yuniang thought about it, and her face turned red unknowingly.

stand up.

"Yu Niang, you go down and change your clothes first. I'll ask you something later." Mi Zhen glanced at Song Yu Niang who was in a daze and ordered.

Wei Shi seems to have many mysteries surrounding him.
