Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 84: Xuzhou tycoon Mijia
"Congratulations to your Excellency Kaiyang County Lieutenant!"
Some big families from Xia Town gathered, and officials from vassal villages and towns such as Lingyan Town, Yunlai Town, Shangbi Village came to celebrate.
Their lord no longer has the title of self-proclaimed mayor, but a serious Kaiyang county lieutenant canonized by the Han court.
Chutian officially became the local snake in Kaiyang County, Langya Kingdom.
Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao and other heroes were once again raised by Chutian and rewarded with farmland and houses.
All the soldiers who survived the first battle with Chutian were ordered to write down their military exploits.
Although Chutian has not implemented the military meritorious system in Xiazhen due to his small official position and power, Chutian has realized how important it is to record military merits to boost morale.
Military merit is honor for soldiers, sometimes more important than life.
The Spartans even took pride in dying in battle.
For military merit records, it is equivalent to having a file for each soldier. Fighting brave soldiers are more likely to be promoted and receive money as a reward. And the family will be proud of them.
For the more than 200 soldiers who died in the first historical battle, Chutian reduced or exempted their family members' taxes, issued pensions, and visited their homes to condolences to stabilize the hearts of the people.
In order to celebrate becoming the Kaiyang County Captain, the lord's mansion slaughtered pigs and sheep.
Where there are people, there is class, and Xia Town has gradually formed some big households. Only these big households are eligible to participate in the banquet held by the lord's palace.
Some of the big households were originally just civilians in Xiazhen, and they achieved a class change with their own minds.
A small caravan of Xuzhou wealthy merchant Mi's family stationed in Xia Town also sent people to attend the banquet.
If Chutian was just an unknown lord, the Mi family wouldn't even take the initiative to deal with him.
However, after Chutian became a county captain, there was also some value in making friends.
In ancient times, scholars, peasants, businessmen, and merchants always had a low status. As a businessman, there was nothing wrong with making high-ranking officials in rule of the world, and feudal lords in troubled times.
The Mi family has been a businessman for generations, and the family is very rich. Although they lack political status, they are rich, and a small caravan sends dozens of people to the banquet.
"Master, the lord of Xia Town was conferred the title of Kaiyang County Lieutenant by the imperial court because of his meritorious deeds against the Yellow Turbans."
A servant respectfully introduced the situation of Xiazhen to the master headed by the Mi family.
"What did he do?"
"Beheaded Zhang Liang, one of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, and led the Julu Han army to capture Guangzong City."
The Mi family's body was shocked: "This is a great credit. It is not just as simple as canonizing a county captain, even if it is a Kaiyang order."
"That's right. Maybe he chose other rewards, so he was only canonized as Kaiyang Captain."
Dozens of people from the Mi family attended the banquet, and the big families in Xia Town got up one after another.
Although the big family in Xia Town is a powerful person in the town, compared with the Mi family, who has ten thousand servants and diners, it is like a small country gentleman encountering the richest man in Xuzhou.
Now that Chu Tian has an official position and military exploits, he does not need to be afraid of the momentum of the Mi family.
The head of the Mi family, Mi Zhu, "Lord" is set to work as Biejia under the command of Tao Qian, the prefect of the state.
The state governor's position is definitely higher than that of a county lieutenant.
If Mi Zhu came in person, Chutian would try to please Mi Zhu.
Chu Tian looked at the people who led the team from the Mi family.
"Don't know your name?"
Chu Tian had the opportunity to connect with the Mi family, but he couldn't ask for it.
"Under Mi Fang, courtesy name Zifang, native of Quxian County, Donghai Sea, and now serving as the prefect under the command of the Chief Inspector."
The person who came was not Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, but his brother Mi Fang!
Mi Fang….
Chu Tian still remembered that when Lu Meng crossed the river in white to sneak attack on Guan Yu's rear, Dr. Ren and Mi Fang, who had a bad relationship with Guan Yu, surrendered one after another, causing Lu Meng to take Jingzhou at a small price.
Later generations and contemporary people think that Mi Fang is the second or fifth child, which is actually true. Of course, Guan Yu's arrogance is also somewhat responsible, saying that after the battle, he will kill Mi Fang and Dr. Ren who are guarding the rear, which intensifies the possibility of their mutiny...
In any case, the current Mi Fang is worth using.
"Captain Mi, please take a seat."
Chu Tian invited Mi Fang to have a table with him.
Those who are qualified to sit at the table with Chu Tian are the core characters of Xia Zhen, Hua Mulan, Zhou Yafu, Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and the first batch of officials.
Mi Fang looked at Kaiyang County Commander from the corner of her eye. To be honest, he didn't think that Chu Tian, who seemed weak in force, could kill Zhang Liang.
So he asked tentatively, "I heard that you killed Zhang Liang and captured Guangzong County, Captain Kaiyang, do you know if this is true?"
"These are the credits of my subordinates. They took the lead and fought bravely to make such great contributions."
Chutian publicly praised Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan, which made the latter two's favorability slightly increase.
"I'm not as talented in business as my brother, but I still have some confidence in my martial arts. I wonder if I can learn from the person who killed Zhang Liang?"
Mi Fang was eager to try, and looked at Zhou Yafu, thinking that Zhou Yafu personally killed Zhang Liang in the chaotic army.
"Ahem, it was another general who killed Zhang Liang."
Chu Tian personally reminded him.
Mi Fang wants to fight Mulan one-on-one, but it's not Chu Tianchuan. Now that the force has grown to 89, Hua Mulan can beat Mi Fang and even his brother Mi Zhu can't recognize it.
Players who are familiar with the game of the Three Kingdoms can basically judge the peak force of each of the Three Kingdoms generals. Because Mi Fang betrayed Shu Han, and has no record to show, the attributes have not been high, and the force should be more than 60.
Chu Tian knew the force of Mi Fang and Hua Mulan, but Mi Fang didn't know the force of Mulan, so she was eager to try it.
Mi Fang wants to know indirectly through Hua Mulan who he and Zhang Liang are more powerful.
Mulan also agreed to a heads-up.
"I don't know why Brother Mi came to Xia Town?"
Chu Tian asked about Mi Fang's history.
Mi Fang should be in Xiapi or Donghaiguo's hometown at this time.
"To be honest, recently, a powerful water bandit appeared in the Yi River, named 'Liangshanbo', looting the ships from Xiapi City to Langya City~IndoMTL.com~ A lot of our Mi family's goods have fallen into In the hands of this group of water bandits. This time I came to Langya City, Kaiyang County, in order to contact Zang Ba, the captain of the Cavalry Commander, and raise troops to destroy this group of water bandits."
Chu Tian was stunned.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were water bandits who called themselves Liangshanbo?
Besides, this is not Liangshan at all, but Yihe!
Then there is only one possibility. This water bandit has an inextricable relationship with the player, so it takes such a strange name.
Although Chu Tian was quite shocked in his heart, he calmly asked on the surface, "Has Zang Ba agreed to send troops to destroy Liangshanbo?"
"Zang Ba asked me for a lot of gold and silver before he was willing to send troops to exterminate Liangshanbo. The family's money is managed by the elder brother, so he must go back and discuss with the elder brother."
"Why don't you ask Lord Inspector to dispatch troops?"
"Lord Inspector Shi is guarding against the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. Although Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang are dead, Zhang Bao is still alive. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans from all over the country continue to rebel. And even if you ask Lord Inspector Shi to borrow troops, you will have to pay a price."
Mi Fang was a little worried.
This seems to be a good opportunity to get close to the Mi family?
"I don't know how many ships and troops there are in Liangshan Park, and how much gold and silver does Zang Ba need before he is willing to send troops?"
"There are at least a thousand water bandits in Liangshanbo, as for gold and silver...this..."
Mi Fang has not fully trusted Chutian yet.
Chu Tian did not ask any further questions.
With the current size of the naval battalion of more than a dozen sentry ships in Xia Town, it is really impossible to eliminate more than a thousand water bandits. Even if they were forcibly eliminated, Xia Zhen would be severely damaged.
After the celebration feast, Chu Tian took Mi Fang to the third-level school in Xiazhen.
Before the duel started, Chu Tian waved his hand and asked Hua Mulan to lean over, and whispered, "His brother is a rich man in Xuzhou, so be gentle when you start, don't be crippled."
