Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 72: Meeting Mi Zhu and Wang Lang

Hua Tuo: "Zhang Zhongjing? Of course, I know that the old man is the only person I respect and befriended in the medical field. Why, is My Lord also interested in inviting that old man? If so maybe I can help as that man is much better at medical theory than I do"

Lie Fan: "Haha! Master Hua Tuo can see through me at first glance, Yes I like to invite Master Zhang Zhongjing to join Master Hua Tuo here in Xiapi. I hope Master Hua Tuo can help me."

Hua Tuo: "I can help My Lord, but the man has an official position in Changsa and I think he will not accept the invitation if we don\'t give him much benefit"

Lie Fan: "Haha! That\'s easy Master Hua Tuo, I\'m the inspector of Xu Province, and the official position is easy for me to make! I can make a new department just for medicine and make Master Zhang the head of that department."

Hua Tuo nodded his head when he heard what Lie Fan said and promised to invite Zhang Zhongjing personally to entice him with the official position and the medicine formulae alongside theories that he surely would be very interested in

Lie Fan thanked Hua Tuo for his help and promised to build the best hospital for him then they took their leave together with Hua Tuo visiting Cai Yong to continue his treatment

Jia Xu was waiting for Lie Fan in the main hall and when he saw Lie Fan entering he began to ask will Hua Tuo stay in Xiapi

Lie Fan: "It\'s done, Master Jia Xu! Master Hua Tuo will stay in Xiapi and open a hospital in partnership with our administration, Please prepare the building that we have and make it very clean and wash it several times Also bring the 10 people to meet Master Hua Tuo"

Jia Xu: "That\'s great My Lord! Congratulations on receiving another talent at your disposal, I will send some oriole members to take care of the hospital and I will personally ensure the 10 people will become Master Hua Tuo students or helpers in person"

Lie Fan: "Haha with Master Jia Xu beside me I can rest easy knowing that everything will work out perfectly!"

Lie Fan is assured with Jia Xu here handling everything, seeing that he has free time he decides to supervise the establishment of Serenity Inn and Dragon\'s Fang Tavern in disguise of course

Lie Fan brings his bodyguards but before leaving he tells them to use farmer hats with silk cloth attached to them to hide their faces and store their masks and helmets to not attract attention as everyone already knows the characteristics of his bodyguards

In the street of Xiapi, Lie Fan is strolling with his bodyguards doing some survey on the restaurant and tavern that he can buy personally but the one doing the transaction is his bodyguards

When reaching the town square, it was busy full of people either buying things from the stall or sightseeing with their family

In the town square, he sees a restaurant that is pretty big with expensive designs but has no customers which immediately attracts his attention so he decides that maybe this will become the Xiapi branch of Serenity Inn

Entering the restaurant he saw Mi Zhu the future Master of the Mi Clan alongside Wang Lang and Mi Yu sitting there eating together

Lie Fan: "Brother Mi Yu! Brother Wang Yan! And Young Master Mi what a coincidence to meet you here, I hope I\'m not interrupting your gathering here"

Mi Yu: "Ahh Inspector Lie, please come and join us. The truth is this is not a celebration b-"

Wang Yan: "Brother Yu let me say it myself to Inspector Lie, the truth is today is a banquet for my teacher."

Lie Fan: "Oh I\'m sorry to hear that Brother Wang, I\'m sure your teacher is happy now in heavens and proud to have a student like you"

Wang Yan: "Haha thank you Inspector Lie and I have changed my name now to Wang Lang. Please come and join us I\'m sure my Master will be ecstatic knowing that a person with you\'re stature joined his mourning banquet."

Lie Fan agrees and takes a seat beside Mi Yu, he begins to eat and converse with them especially Mi Zhu as this man can become the future financial minister, and having Mi Clan one of the richest clans in the land on his side is also a great bonus

Mi Zhu: "Lord Inspector, what brings you to this humble restaurant? I thought that no one would enter as there\'s no customer in the restaurant today"

Lie Fan: "Oh I came in here because I was attracted by it and I thought that the owner was going to sell it so I wanted to ask if he was selling the restaurant and buy it"

Mi Zhu: "Oh? Does Lord Inspector is interested in making a business now?"

Lie Fan: "Oh no, I bought it for my friend he asked me if there\'s a prominent location here in Xiapi for his restaurant if so he asked me to buy it for him and he will repay me"

Mi Zhu: "I see, then what does Lord Inspector think of this restaurant?"

Lie Fan: "The location is good in the town square so much traffic will pass through it and with the building design it has now attracted people\'s attention easily and only needs good food to make the customers come back!"

Mi Zhu: "I didn\'t expect that Lord Inspector has a business mind, I admire you."

Lie Fan: "Haha it\'s nothing, My mother comes from a merchant clan and she taught me about business from a young age as doing politics is the same as doing business my mother always said!"

Everyone at the table laughed hearing what Lie Fan said and Mi Zhu agreed with what Yu Yan said, Business is the very essence of political negotiating and persuading just like you\'re in the market

Mi Zhu: "Then if Lord Inspectors is interested then I can help you buy it for your friend at a friendly price of course."

Lie Fan: "Oh? Does Young Master Mi know the proprietor of this fine establishment?"

Mi Yu: "Ahaha Lord Inspector of course Young Master knew, he is the owner of this building."

Lie Fan: "Aiya I forgot that the Mi Clan has many properties in Xiapi, forgive me forgive me."

With Mi Zhu gives the green light for Lie Fan to buy the building, he asks Mi Zhu how much is price Mi Zhu wants which he replies 100,000 tael and no negotiation needed as this is cheaper than the market prices

Lie Fan doesn\'t care about how much is it as collecting money is very easy with the help of the system through quests and achievements but he pretends he needs to ask his friend which Mi Zhu agrees

Lie Fan: "Brother Wang, now what will you do as your teacher have rested in peace now?"

Wang Lang: "I don\'t know, I\'m thinking of going back to Luoyang and resuming my post but I will be too far to visit his tombs."

Lie Fan: "Then why don\'t Brother Wang join my administration? With Brother Wang\'s talent a position in my administration is easy to get and safer than in Luoyang as the Court is now in chaos thanks to the battle between General He Jin\'s faction and the eunuch faction."

Mi Yu: "Wang Lang I agree with what Lord Inspector said, it\'s safer to work under Lord Inspector in Xiapi than in Luoyang. You have brought your family here so why don\'t you stay here and resign from your post in Luoyang."

Wang Lang stayed silent, he was tempted as Lie Fan already hinted this several times before to him when they met and with Jia Xu also bringing him to help him do some administrative work but he was still reluctant to lose the position he worked so hard for

On the other hand, what Lie Fan said is true as the Luoyang political scene is now in chaos and he doesn\'t want his family to be implicated, thinking about it with a heavy heart he finally agrees to Lie Fan\'s invitation

Lie Fan: "Haha! Trust me, Brother Wang has made the right choice! I will wait for Brother Wang to send in your resignation and assign you as a Supervisor in the Personnel Department!"

Wang Lang: "Thank You My Lord for your generosity"

Mi Zhu: "Haha know we have to drink again to celebrate Brother Wang\'s new position under Lord Inspector!"

Together they enjoyed more wine to commemorate Wang Lang\'s new post under Lie Fan, After filling their stomach and feeling a bit tipsy they ended the small banquet

Before leaving Wang Lang promised to contact Lie Fan when he resigned from his post in the Imperial Court as he needed to go back to Luoyang to do so

Mi Yu helps Wang Lang to go back to his mansion, while Lie Fan is walking with Mi Zhu in the town square to look for some fresh air

Lie Fan: "Young Master Mi, you\'re young and in full spirit have you ever thought of joining the government and becoming an official?"

Mi Zhu: "I have that thought Lord Inspector but I don\'t want to neglect my family business now with my father already old age."

Lie Fan: "Fufu, that\'s not a problem for Young Master Mi and the Mi Clan as I\'m sure that Master Mi will be very happy and proud that his son is now an official which can help him boost Mi Clan\'s network."

Mi Zhu: "Haha! Are Lord Inspector inviting me to work under you same as Brother Wang before?"

Lie Fan: "Of Course! I have heard the talent that Young Master Mi had since young and Master Mi\'s most talented son since Little already helped Master Mi in doing some accounting."

Mi Zhu: "Looks like Lord Inspector has already investigated me deeply even knowing about me helping my father do some accounting since childhood as no one knew about this except my closest family members, Does Lord Inspector that confidence in my talent?"
