Chapter 228, The advantages of having more sisters

After the rise and fall of Zhang Hengliang, the remaining forces of Xiliang's tribes were greatly shaken. Then Zhang Liao continued to lead his army westward, and wherever he passed, the tribes surrendered one after another.

A month later, Xiliang was completely pacified!

Then Guo Jia began to rebuild Xiliang. Due to the long-term separatist state, the already barren border land was even worse. The entire Liangzhou could not even be self-sufficient in grain production.

Later, Liu Bei appointed Mi Zhu and Zhen Yan to come and cooperate with the trade, intending to exchange Xiliang's animal skins, cattle and sheep for grain from the Central Plains.

In Guo Jia's temporary residence in Anding County, Mi Zhu had a look of embarrassment on his face after hearing Guo Jia's plan: "Nowadays, the Central Plains is in chaos, and food control is extremely strict. It's probably not easy to purchase a large amount of food."

"The prime minister and the military advisor have been fighting for another half a year. The food in each warehouse has long been exhausted. I'm afraid they won't be able to pump out so much food."

Guo Jia looked at Zhen Yan, who smiled and said: "Zhen's treasury still has some food. It will not be difficult to send tens of thousands of stones of food by piecing it together."

Mi Zhu was slightly angry, so she took advantage of it.

In fact, the financial resources of the two families were almost the same. It was just that Mi Zhu had followed Liu Bei for a longer period of time, and he had managed the logistics for many years of battles, which resulted in little food left.

As Zhen Tuo joined Liu Bei's backyard, Mi Zhu's sense of crisis became stronger. He was a little worried that Zhen Tuo's pillow talk would shake his position as the number one businessman under Liu Bei.

Zhen'er!

You grow up quickly!

How could Guo Jia not see that the two were fighting overtly and covertly, but this was something Liu Bei should be worried about.

And in his opinion, it would be difficult for Zhen Yan to win over Mi Zhu. After all, Liu Bei was a man of two generations, and Mi Zhu's loyalty and Mi Zhen's loyalty were all witnessed by his own eyes.

The existence of the Zhen family is more like a check and balance on the Mi family, but it is only to prevent the Mi family from dominating the business family. After all, Mi Zhu's loyalty does not mean that his descendants can also be absolutely loyal. Liu Bei does not want to leave a mess for his heirs.

.

Of course, as long as Liu Bei is still in power, Mi will always be the number one merchant.

As for Mi Fang, just give him a casual position.

Guo Jia looked at Zhen Yan and said with a smile: "If Zi Yan can help Xiliang resume production, it will be considered a great achievement and the prime minister will definitely reward him generously."

"Zizhong doesn't need to care. You have been supporting me all these years. The Prime Minister will never forget your contribution."

He could only play the role of peacemaker, temporarily appeasing the two of them for Liu Bei and preventing the two from fighting, which would be more than worth the loss.

However, these two people must be smart people and would not do such a thing that would hurt the enemy a thousand times and damage themselves eight hundred.

Zhen Yan suddenly said something shocking: "I'm afraid that my little sister will cause trouble in the house of Marquis Changxin from now on. I hope the Marquis will not be surprised."

???

Guo Jia was confused. When did he get involved with the lady of the Zhen family?

Mi Zhu was also shocked, and then angry and contemptuous. Zhen Yan took advantage of the fact that he had many sisters and used them to build relationships everywhere.

It was not enough to seduce the prime minister first, but now he has seduced Guo Jia, the Marquis of Changxin. He is so shameless... Dad, why didn't you have more children back then?

Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that Marquis Changxin doesn't know yet. My sister-in-law respects Marquis Changxin very much. She couldn't wait to visit him as soon as she arrived in Chang'an."

"Your wife saw that her roommate was almost the same age as the two young masters, so she left her in the house temporarily."

This is not a lie. Zhen Mi has been living there since she followed her brother to the Changxin Marquis Mansion.

Guo Jia was stunned. He was about the same age as the two gangsters from his family?

Could it be that...

"I would like to ask, which sister is it?"

"Little sister, my name is Mi."

It's indeed her!

"Does your sister like the art of war?"

"No, my sister likes business, and she is very talented."

"But I'm not a merchant."

"But the Marquis is also a man who is proficient in business!"

Guo Jia was silent.

Then he said bluntly: "Zi Yan might as well speak frankly, but he wants to get married to those bastard boys in my family? Tell me, which one does your sister like?"

This is his guess. As far as he knows, Zhen Mi is only about eight years old now. It doesn't matter if the girl is a few years older.

Zhen Yan, however, suppressed her blush and looked like she had eaten an Ollie. She was hesitant and speechless.

He wanted to say: My sister wants to be your son's aunt, not his wife.

He still remembered his sister's solemn words that day.

Guo Fengxiao, a man who disregards worldly laws, should be my husband. By marrying him, I can continue to run the family business, and he will definitely not interfere.

Zhen Yan simply gritted his teeth and told all the facts.

Guo Jia also suppressed his blush after hearing this. No matter how romantic he was, he would never be interested in a little girl under ten years old.

But...this is Luo Shen.

And just a few days ago, in order to prevent little Guo Zhi, who was about to be born in the future, from turning against his brother Guo Pi, Guo Jia felt that as a father, he had to prevent this from happening.

Besides, this was sent by Zhen Mi herself, so you can’t blame him, right?

"My sister is still young. We will discuss the future matters later."

"What Chang Xinhou said is absolutely true. Let's discuss this matter later."

"Okay, in the future..."

Guo Jia suddenly felt something was wrong.

…

"What a beautiful girl to beg for glory, Donnie Yen."

After discussing the food issue, Mi Zhu and Zhen Yan left side by side. As soon as they walked out of the house, Mi Zhu couldn't help but sarcastic.

If anyone else said this, Zhen Yan might get angry. But if it was Mi Zhu, he would feel happy instead, because it meant that his old rival was angry.

"Is Zizhong envious?"

"Why do I envy you?"

"I envy my many beautiful sisters, but you only have one!"

Zhen Yan burst out laughing after saying this, feeling extremely happy in his heart, as if he was happier to see Mi Zhu suffer a calamity than to earn one hundred thousand gold.

Mi Zhu was indeed envious, but of course he wouldn't say it out loud. Seeing his old rival's proud look, he couldn't help but look at her with a cold face: "Huh, I'm ashamed to be in your company!"

Zhen Yan said with a smile: "Zizhong, you have lost your sense of being a gentleman. You are also a merchant, and you should know the principles of bartering. What's more, my sister, the prime minister, Zilong, are both a man's love and a concubine's intention, so why sell it?"

My sister seeks glory, can it be that you can't afford to lose?"

He deliberately emphasized several of his brothers-in-law to anger Mi Zhu. The angrier the other party was, the happier he was, and he felt a bit excited after defeating an old rival.

Mi Zhu couldn't listen anymore and left angrily.

Who told him to have only one sister!

…

After Mi Zhu and Zhen Yan left, Guo Jia received another person in the study, it was the young Ma Jun.

When he first wrote to Liu Bei to report the military situation and plans against the Qiang people, he also wrote a letter to Ma Jun and invited him to Xiliang.

"Sir, do you have any advice?"
