“Zizhong! Slon!” Jian Yong called out as he gasped for breath Mi Zhu had no choice but to respond as Jian Yong was one of Liu Bei’s oldest followers Even when Mi Zhu was in Xuzhou, he already had to be respectful to Jian Yong Now that his influence had decreased he beca Jian Yong approach hi” Mi Zhu addressed Jian Yong with respect, recognition and estrangeer instead of a friend

Jian Yong frowned at this The last time Mi Zhu addressed hi Liu Bei Since then, Mi Zhu had always acted faed Jian Yong then quickly changed his expression and joked “I don’t dare be called iveh

“Just callsaid diplomatically He was thethe Mi Family to provide Liu Bei with financial aid

“Xianhe!” Mi Zhu greeted Since Jian Yong already said so, Mi Zhu had no choice but to give face to Jian Yong

“That’s better!” Jian Yong approached and patted Mi Zhu’s shoulder inti could tell that so with Mi Zhu and he did not blame Mi Zhu for it He understood that merchants had the lowest status as they icked in the eyes of the public

Meanwhile, there are merchants like Lu Buwei in history who made a country instead of profits The Qin Dynasty would not have been so formidable if Lu Buwei didn’t exist That hy Lubuas treated as a role model to merchants Mi Zhu was one of those that tried to follow in Lu Buwei’s footsteps He wanted to give Liu Bei his capital and be promoted to nobility He even married his sister off to Liu Bei Mi Zhu never expected Liu Bei to suffer defeat after defeat until his oealth dried up On the other hand, Liu Bei was thinking of how to obtain more power instead of how to obtain money This caused Mi Zhu’s position to fall even further Worse still, his brother and sister had gone iven position Although Liu Bei was benevolent, he was fickle Women were like clothes while brothers were like hands and feet This was so Liu Bei said himself Naturally, Liu Bei would not raise the position of someone because of a wos that put Mi Zhu in low spirits

Jian Yong understood this is why he chased Mi Zhu to placate hi You know that the Lord is in a badspoke on behalf of Liu Bei How could Liu Bei be in a gooddefeat

“Xianhe What do you want me to say?” Mi Zhu replied cautiously If he nodded his head, it would mean that he indeed have complaints about Liu Bei If he shook his head it would ive Liu Bei What do you think the result would be once Liu Bei found out that Mi Zhu had coood at speaking but even he could not find a proper reply In the end, he looked at Mi Zhu and said, “Zizhong I a about!” There were sos that could be said directly and others that could not

“Does it matter? I am just a merchant Xianhe If there are no other matters, I will take my leave” Mi Zhu ridiculed hi a country Noas al At the sa Liu Bei Before this, Liu Bei held on to his hand saying that they would share joy and tribulations together What about now?

“Zizhong Right now Yangzhou is a big problem I am sure you understand this as well! Once the Military Advisor returns frozhou and Milord captures the South, I aiven an important position

“Is that so?” Mi Zhu sneered and left

“Zizhong Milord has given iven jobs as an official and also a noble title Zizhong, your na used his trump card

“A title!” Mi Zhu was fascinated by those words He gave away his wealth and his sister for the purpose of a title Status and title! Mi Zhu wanted to obtain those and break away fro smiled when he saw Mi Zhu’s hesitation He did not believe anybody would be able to resist this tee status could they beco nobles can the Mi Fa I am sure you understand Once this ive you an iuided patiently

“An important position?” Mi Zhu still did not believe it

“Of course If not, ould Milord allowto be given status?”

“I…”

“I still have otherGo back and think about this carefully” Jian Yong said and left He knew that saying too much would only be detriive a person hope without being too direct

Mi Zhu nodded his head and also left His mind was in disorder and he needed time to think this over
