At least 40% of the people in Donghai County are making a living by relying on the Mi family. You should know that there are more than 30,000 people who signed a contract with the Mi family alone!

The population of the entire Donghai County is only about 400,000. It can be said that the Mi family is definitely covering the sky in Donghai.

However, no matter how powerful the businessman is, in the eyes of officials, it is just a dish. The prefect of the East China Sea may not be able to deal with the Mi family. However, as long as Tao Qian, the Muslim Tao Qian of Xuzhou, expressed his intention to attack the Mi family, the huge family business of the Mi family will definitely not survive for three months.

But now, if Mi Zhu can obtain the official position of the prefect of Donghai, then he will truly master the economy, military, administrative and all rights of the entire Donghai. It can be said that the Mi family will become the local king of the entire Donghai County in the future!

As long as Mi Zhu can work as the prefect of Donghai for five years, Mi Zhu is sure that unless the descendants of the Mi family are so rebellious that they want to rebel, in this Donghai County, even the imperial edict will not be as effective as the Mi family.

only--

Looking at Li Qingyuan who was smiling, Mi Zhu didn't feel that the Qingzhou Patriarchy had not considered this!

It is indeed a great contribution to offering Donghai County, but it is too generous to directly promise a county, right?

Could it be that the other party is preparing for a thousand gold coins?

"Lord, Zi Zhong is willing to donate 20,000 taels of gold, 5,000 pearls, 3.5 million taels of silver, 120 million stags of copper coins, 600,000 pieces of silk, and 1.5 million stones of food and grass for military funds!"

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu instantly fell to his knees and shouted.

When hearing the numbers reported by Mi Zhu, not only the civil and military officials around him were shocked, but even Li Qingyuan and Aning were full of surprise.

You should know that the tax revenue of Qingzhou in the whole year was only about 400,000 taels of silver, while Mi Zhu donated 3.5 million yuan in silver alone, which is equivalent to the total tax revenue of Qingzhou in eight years!

Coupled with other messy things, it is estimated that they can be worth at least the total tax revenue of the entire Han Dynasty for two years.

Rich is as good as a country!

This is the real wealth that is comparable to a country!

Lu Su had always thought that his family was from a good place, but now when he heard the data reported by Mi Zhu, he suddenly felt that he was just a poor beggar!

These materials can form at least one million troops, and it is simply terrifying that Mi clan in Donghai is so rich.

"Since Zizhong has a firm heart, it is natural that the governor of Benzhou is not willing to refuse. Zijing, you are responsible for connecting with Zizhong."

Li Qingyuan knew that this was the protection fee paid by Mi Zhu, so he accepted it with a smile.

Seeing that he accepted his application so readily, Mi Zhu felt relieved.

As the saying goes, sometimes giving gifts is also a very skill-testing job. The reason why Mi Zhu contributed all the wealth accumulated by his generations in one breath was mainly to protect himself.

As long as Li Qingyuan accepts his sky-high protection fee in public, do you think he can still attack the Mi family?

After all, even if you are a monarch, you have to consider your subordinates’ feelings. The Mi family spends all their money to support Li Qingyuan. So can Li Qingyuan clean up the Mi family after he wins the world?

Even if a villain like Liu Bang won the world, he would only dare to kill Han Xin, Peng Yue and Ying Bu. For Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Chen Ping, Cao Shen and others, he could only focus on appeasement.

"Lord, Mi Zhu has a young girl of 28 years old. She wants to offer her to the lord as a maid, so please allow her to allow her!"

Mi Zhu continued.

The ones I gave just now were considered protection fees, but now I am almost relieved!

The most powerful wind in the world is the pillow wind. Even if you give a sky-high protection fee, Mi Zhu feels that it is safest to install someone his own person next to the lord.

"Since Zi Zhong said that, I will be disrespectful. Let Changwen choose a day to send someone to carry him into the mansion!"

Although Mi Zhu claimed to send his girl to him as a slave, no matter whether he promised the identity of Fang Donghai as the prefect of Mi Zhu or the sky-high military funds that Mi Zhu had just given, he was destined to never be able to really use Mi Zhen as a maid in any case.

So I might as well ask that guy Chen Qun to find a similar good day and send a few people to carry the sedan chair to Mi family to take Mi Zhen over.

Anyway, Mi Zhen’s identity cannot be a good wife, so it is natural to take a concubine.

At this meeting, Li Qingyuan received sky-high supplies and a beautiful concubine who didn't know her appearance but was supposed to be good. Mi Zhu obtained the East China Sea rule that the Mi family had always dreamed of. Both sides were win-win!

Although making a local overlord like the Mi family the actual ruler of the East China Sea might be a counter-intentional act for the dynasty's rule, Li Qingyuan felt that he didn't need to consider such distant things in the later period.

Just like in the Naruto World, he just slightly integrated the five villages and formed a loose alliance to complete the task. As long as he could complete the task, he didn't care whether he was using this method of drinking poison to quench thirst to solve the problem.

The aristocratic families emerged in the Eastern Han Dynasty and flourished in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the centipede worm died without being stiff. It was not until the Huang Chao Uprising and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that it gradually declined.

Although the power of the aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty is not as powerful as they were two hundred years later, they should not be underestimated.

So when Li Qingyuan and Mi Zhu's questions were spread, all families in Xuzhou began to boil!

The Cao family in Pengcheng, Chen family in Guangling, and other powerful people in the local area sent people to negotiate with the generals under Li Qingyuan and asked what kind of rewards they would get if they surrendered.

In the past, because the three armies were approaching, all the local tyrants were considering who they should surrender to. If Mi Zhu had not been stuck in Qingzhou’s first stop in Xuzhou, he would have probably not surrendered to Li Qingyuan so quickly.

However, after seeing the generous rewards received by the Mi family after they applied for it, other aristocratic families are now red in their eyes!

The aristocratic families in this era were not as powerful as ignoring the imperial power. Most of them were just local tyrants from each county, and they were still a world of difference compared to the arrogant imperial power.

So for those of them, no matter who becomes the emperor, it doesn’t matter. As long as they can protect their own foundation, then who will invest in it is not?

But if one can reach the sky like the Mi family and directly transform from a county town into a legal and reasonable actual controller, then for these aristocratic families, it would be a wealth and glory that fell from the sky.

If you miss this, wouldn't you regret it for life?

After all, no matter whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, they will not be as generous as Li Qingyuan and are willing to hand over the management rights of the local area directly.
