Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

"Yes, lord, if Mi Zhu is loyal to the lord and to the great man, even if he is in a difficult situation, he will never turn back and support the lord to do so."

Sun Qian also persuaded hard.

Liu Bei sighed, unable to make a decision.

"Brother, please focus on restoring the overall situation of the Han Dynasty!"

Guan Yu got up and stepped forward, deeply praying.

Zhang Fei hurriedly bowed down and shouted, "That's what I mean too."

Liu Bei couldn't stand the persuasion of everyone, so he had no choice but to say: "Forget it, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, I can only go against my heart once."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Xudu, a remote house in the east of the city.

Mi Huan has received an urgent secret letter from Xiao Pei, the second brother Mi Fang.

In the letter, Mi Fang, as the head of the Mi family, ordered Mi Huan to let the Mi family immediately sell salt at three times the price at the salt shops in the states of Yanyu, including Xudu.

"With the price tripled, can the common people still afford salt? It's not my Mi family's tradition to make such money."

Mi Huan stared at the letter in his hand, frowning deeply.

"The lord uses Xiaopei's land to raise an army of [-] people. It consumes countless money and food every day. For the overall situation, this is also impossible."

Zhao Yun also sighed helplessly.

Obviously, Liu Bei also sent him a secret letter, explaining the motive of this sea salt surge and taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

"But my elder brother is still in the hands of Duke Cao. If Duke Cao learns that my Mi family has raised the price of salt and cuts flesh from him, what will he do with my elder brother? Will the lord not be concerned?"

Mi Huan stared at Zhao Yun and asked back.

"This……"

Zhao Yun could not defend Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei explained his difficulties in the letter, he did it for the sake of the Han society and he had no choice but to do it.

But how could he tell Mi Huan that it is worth sacrificing your brother for the great cause of the lord.

"Although Cao Cao is treacherous, he also has the power of a hero. He should not be cruel to Brother Ling."

Zhao Yun can only be so relieved.

Mi Huan hesitated and fell into deep thought.

After a long time.

She bit her lip and said bitterly, "The eldest brother is not here. My second brother of the Mi family is in charge. Since the second brother decides to do this, what can I do? If he wants to raise the price of salt, then let it rise."

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to comfort Mi Huan a few words, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

...

a month later.

In the eastern suburbs of Xu County, Su Residence.

The sound of "crashing" echoed in the yard.

Su Yi was sitting around the table with Cao Jie, Da Qiao, and the three daughters of Diao Chan, playing mahjong.

"Three, touch yourself, one dragon!"

Da Qiao slapped the mahjong table, overturned the cards in his hand, and smiled at everyone.

"Hey, sister Wan'er, why are you fooling around again? You're lucky too."

Cao Jie's eyes were slightly depressed, and he grumbled.

Su Yi praised: "Wan'er, it seems that you are not inferior to my wife's talent in this mahjong way, you only learned a few days and you are so good."

"It's my luck, and it's my sister who taught me well."

Da Qiao laughed at himself and complimented Cao Jie calmly.

Cao Jie's face turned cloudy to sunny just now, and smiled: "Come on, shuffle the cards quickly, I don't believe in my teacher, I can't beat my apprentice today."

Su Yi glanced at Da Qiao, and thought to herself that this girl is indeed a lady, she knows how to do things, and knows how to please the hostess Cao Jie.

He smiled and shuffled the cards.

At this time, Zhou Tai returned from shopping and handed the list to Su Yi for review.

"You can just show these household expenses to your siblings."

Su Yi pointed to Cao Jie.

Zhou Tai understood, and passed the Qingshu to Cao Jie. He smiled and said, "Brother and sister, this is the cost of this purchase. You should try it first."

"Brother Youping said what he said, what is the first trial, can the little sister believe you?"

Cao Jie said with a smile, picked up the list and glanced at it.
