Chapter 1761 Gongsun Zan's Family Background, [鳁厖武士]
Lin Mu was very happy to borrow Zhao Yun easily. He took out wine and meat and ate and drank with everyone.
The wine was earth-level wine, and the meat was also the secret meat of some rare spirit beast, which made everyone enjoy a feast. The good impression of Lin Mu rose sharply.
Among them were Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, all of whom were transferred by Gongsun Zan to serve as the subordinates of [Assisting the Left Lieutenant].
The Gongsun family can be said to be a family where one person gets promoted. Therefore, Lin Mu, who had the grace of recommendation, was highly respected.
"Bogui, these three, this is the first time I have seen them, can you explain it?" Lin Mu did not forget to observe Gongsun Zan's people while drinking.
There were three more unfamiliar figures.
"The three are my brothers." Gongsun Zan said boldly with a flushed face.
"I am Liu Weitai, the fortune teller."
"I am Li Yizi, the silk trader and the merchant of a huge bucket."
"I am Le Hedang, the merchant of a huge bucket."
Seeing this, the three of them also stood up, respectfully saluted to Lin Mu and introduced themselves.
When Lin Mu heard this, he was slightly shocked. It turned out to be these three people!
According to some historical data, Gongsun Zan also had three sworn brothers, who were the three people in front of him.
In real history, Wang Can's "Heroes Records" recorded:
"Those who were favored and arrogant were mostly mediocre people, such as the former fortune teller Liu Weitai, the silk trader Li Yizi, and the merchant Le Hedang. He swore an oath of brotherhood with him, called himself the uncle, and called the three people the second uncle and the third brother. They were all very rich, and some took their daughters to marry their sons. They often compared them to the ancient Qu Zhou and Guan Ying."
This historical data shows that Gongsun Zan would not look down on the world because of their family background or status.
However, in the mythological world, Gongsun Zan's three sworn brothers had slightly different professions.
"I didn't expect that all three of you are talented people, Brother Bogui, you are so lucky!" Lin Mu praised.
Good guy, one is a fortune teller, and two are businessmen, and their business level has reached the giant businessman! This is the closest rank to the highest [God Merchant].
You know, there is only one person in the Great Wilderness Territory who has reached this level, that is Xu Bao from the Dabao Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as he entered the Great Wilderness Territory, he was at the level of a red-topped businessman, and now he has only been promoted to one level. The two people in front of him are at this level, extraordinary!
([Merchant Level] Primary Merchant, Intermediate Merchant, Senior Merchant, Big Merchant, Red-topped Merchant, Giant Merchant, God Merchant)
These two giant merchants have absolutely rich family backgrounds. According to the original historical trajectory, Gongsun Zan can have that career, absolutely inseparable from their support.
In fact, how can there be no chaebol family behind each prince! Even Liu Bei, who has been displaced, has the support of a chaebol family.
Gongsun Zan originally wanted to become sworn brothers with Lin Mu, but thinking about his background, he was afraid of any misunderstanding, so he did not take the initiative to bring it up. And it was even more impossible for Lin Mu to become sworn brothers with Gongsun Zan... Even Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, etc., Lin Mu had never thought of becoming sworn brothers with them.
If Lin Mu really had these thoughts, with Guo Jia's wisdom and layout of Xi Zhicai, the classic historical story scene of Taoyuan Oath of Brotherhood, where would Zhu Xuan's role be!
After the three explained themselves, Lin Mu immediately picked up the wine glass and walked in front of the three to clink glasses with them.
"This is the first time I meet you, so I won't say too many polite words. Come, drink!" After Lin Mu clinked glasses, he drank first as a respect.
"General Lin, cheers!" The three people flushed and were extremely excited. How could they not be excited when a second-rank official treated them like this.
As for Lin Mu, they all heard about it from hearsay, but his legendary story was more exciting than that of Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang! Now that they see a living person... how can they not be excited.
Sure enough, just as the eldest brother said, Lin Mu is approachable.
Then Lin Mu greeted the three people. Through asking, he also knew a little about them.
The two giant merchants were both in their thirties, one thin and one fat, and Li Yizi looked thin. He often went to Yizhou to buy Shu silk, and he looked strong because of his hard work.
Le Hedang was engaged in iron ore, salt, leather and horses. He was active in Youzhou and Bingzhou all year round.
Although he was not as famous as Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and his family background was rich, he was better than ordinary merchants.
During the conversation, Lin Mu also mentioned cooperating with them. Both of them were shrewd people and accepted Lin Mu's proposal.
In business, the Mi family, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, plus these two people, already have many partners.
It's a pity that there is no contact with the Zhen family at present, otherwise the business channels would be wider.
Lin Mu specifically observed the fortune teller Liu Weitai. This is another hidden profession.
Recently, he has seen more and more people with hidden professions.
This person is tall and thin, with sharp corners on his face, full of wind and frost, and obviously has experienced a lot of hardships. He wears a gray Confucian robe, has a sheep-horn beard, and a small mirror hangs on his waist.
A fortune teller is actually similar to a fortune teller, both of whom calculate the secrets of heaven. Of course, this is profound and there are many branches, such as fortune-telling, calculating the five elements, observing astronomy to see the sun and the moon, measuring mountains and rivers... and so on.
Guo Jia, who is good at military strategy, can tell fortunes.
Lin Mu remembered all three people in his heart.
In addition to civil officials and military generals, the three people must have played a role in Gongsun Zan's career.
This may be Gongsun Zan's future family background.
After greeting the three people, Lin Mu clinked glasses with other people from the Gongsun family.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone had a good time, and Lin Mu took Zhao Yun out of the tent.
"Zilong, do you need to settle military affairs?" Lin Mu asked Zhao Yun while reeking of alcohol.
"I am not a deputy corps commander, nor a lieutenant. I don't have too many military duties. I am currently only in charge of the White Horse Volunteers. The general of the White Horse Volunteers didn't want me, so I am the only one left." Zhao Yun said softly.
Only in charge of the White Horse Volunteers? ! Gongsun Zan can arrange Zhao Yun to lead the White Horse Volunteers, which means that he also values Zhao Yun very much. However, if Zhao Yun can lead, he, Gongsun Zan, can also lead.
"Okay, let's leave Xiyuan first." After that, Lin Mu took Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong who were waiting outside to return to the General's Mansion.
Because Lin Mu asked the people in the mansion to recruit soldiers in Taishan, Danyang and other counties, the mansion was quite deserted, and only the housekeeper Zhao Bei and others were there.
After settling Zhao Yun, Lin Mu was about to go back to his room to practice, and Ji Beiqin hurried over.
"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, is the Azure Dragon in the original announcement yours?" Ji Beiqin asked in a serious tone.
"Didn't I send you a message to confirm it?" Lin Mu asked in confusion. Ji Beiqin and others had asked before, and he had replied one by one.
Qinghuai's transformation into Qinglong would definitely attract the attention of Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others. In other words, they knew that the Qinglong Secret Realm of Xu Zhao's rebellion was in Lin Mu's hands.
But it's okay. At this moment, he is already the second-rank Yizhou Mu and the third-rank Zhengdong General. Even if Cao Cao and Sun Jian knew, they wouldn't say anything.
As for making small moves, there is no need to worry. The Qinglong Secret Realm is already in the Great Wilderness Territory.
"Hehe... I came here this time because of something..." Ji Beiqin smiled mysteriously.
Lin Mu stared at him blankly, waiting for the next words.
"Ahem... During the last expedition to Japan, I also gained a little... I was lucky and got a special military construction blueprint." Ji Beiqin said with excitement on his face.
Special military construction blueprint? Lin Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Sure enough, in addition to him, other player lords must have opportunities. After all, so many people went to Japan to plunder, and it was inevitable that there would be players who were lucky.
"That unit blueprint can be used to forge dragon blood warriors." Ji Beiqin paused and said in a deep voice.
"Dragon blood warrior? Are you sure?" Lin Mu's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly.
"Uh... almost..." Seeing Lin Mu so excited, Ji Beiqin was a little scared. His brother-in-law's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and even he, an elite child of a chaebol family, couldn't resist it.
"What is the full name of that unit building blueprint?" Lin Mu asked with a slight curl of his lips.
"Hey, this is my trump card. You haven't told me your trump card, so I won't tell you this..."
"Hehe... You don't want dragon blood anymore?" Lin Mu teased.
"Is your unit building blueprint called [遁pang warrior]?" Lin Mu asked again before Ji Beiqin answered.
"How do you know? Did you get one too?" Ji Beiqin was shocked when he heard this.
Good guy, he regarded this thing as the trump card and core secret of the Ji family, but he didn't expect Lin Mu to know it.
"This type of soldier can use the blood of the mythical beast [Shenyu] or the dragon or real snake to breed soldiers!" Lin Mu seemed to know everything. Real snakes are a feature of the Japanese side. In fact, they are snakes with dragon blood similar to the Yamata no Orochi.
At this moment, Ji Beiqin, with his eyes wide open, determined that Lin Mu also had such a blueprint in his hand.
However, Lin Mu did not have such a blueprint in his hand.
Because the type of soldier casted by this blueprint was famous in the Japanese area in the previous life. The one who ruled it was Honda Taro, the president of the Imperial Guild.
Unexpectedly, this type of soldier casting blueprint actually fell into Ji Beiqin's hands. Damn... This guy is definitely lucky!
Around this blueprint, there was also an incident like Wang Jiaqu in the Japanese area! It's just that the lucky Japanese player was not as miserable as Wang Jiaqu. After he escaped, he posted the blueprint information on the forum, which caused a great sensation.
You know, the American area spent a huge price for the Judgment Knight blueprint.
Each unit blueprint can be compared with the Heavenly Class Village Building Order!
Afterwards, the Japanese player sold the blueprint to Honda Taro and was protected by the Imperial Guild.
In his previous life, Honda Taro may not have found the blood of a real dragon or real snake, so he did not forge the so-called dragon blood warriors mentioned by Ji Beiqin, but he found the blood of the mythical beast [Shenxiao] and forged the terrible [Shenxiao Warrior]!
[Shenxiao Warrior] is terrible, not because of its combat power, but because of its ability to destroy ships!
That's right, [Shenxiao Warrior] is actually equivalent to the divers encountered in the ocean before, specializing in drilling and destroying ships.
It is because of this unit that the ships in the Huaxia area suffered heavy losses.
