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

"Su's green salt is of good quality and low price, and the output is amazing. It not only brought the salt prices of the states controlled by Cao Cao back to its original shape, but also squeezed our Mi family's sea salt out of the market."

"Previously, we hoarded hundreds of thousands of dendrobium sea salt. We originally wanted to raise the price and sell it slowly, but no one expected it to be in our hands. Not only did we not make any profit, but we also lost hundreds of millions of dollars."

Mi Fang grimaced and silently reported.

Liu Bei said solemnly: "The salt in the Central Plains states has always only been Hedong Lake Salt and Xuzhou Sea Salt. Why did Su Clan's Green Salt suddenly appear?"

"Mr. Qi, the little sister and the others have already inquired about it in Xudu. It seems that it is a nobleman named Su Yi who created a new method of making salt by himself."

"This method can extract table salt from brine, and the output is huge, so it can help Cao Cao solve the salt shortage."

Mi Fang was busy and reported.

"Su Yi?"

Liu Bei's eyes were blank and he asked, "Gongyou, what kind of character is this Su Yi, who has such ability?"

Sun Gan shook his head: "This person is an unknown person. Before this, I had never heard of such a person."

"boom!"

Liu Bei punched the case a few times and frowned: "I didn't expect that our layout would be messed up by such a nameless person. It's really annoying!"

Mi Fang said with a bitter face: "My lord, my Mi family's vitality has been severely damaged, and it will be difficult for me to recover in a moment. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to provide enough military funds and food for my lord!"

Liu Bei's brows deepened.

Zhang Fei became angry and shouted: "You Mi family are the three giants in the world, how can you lose so much money and lose your vitality? I said Mi Fang, you shouldn't take this opportunity to cry poor!"

"Yide, don't be rude to Zifang!"

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei.

Only then did Zhang Fei shut up, but muttered in his mouth.

Mi Fang sighed bitterly: "I'm really not poor. After Lu Bu stole Xuzhou, he suppressed my Mi family's business everywhere, and our financial resources were not as good as before. Now the Haiyan business has suffered a huge loss. We really have no money. already."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and although he didn't speak, his eyes were still unbelievable.

Liu Bei's eyes turned to Sun Gan.

Sun Gan sighed: "I believe that the Mi family has indeed done its best, my lord, so far, we are afraid that we can only lay off some soldiers."

Liu Bei shook his head, and had to wave his hand: "It's only like this, let's cut it."

Guan Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Brother, Cao thief's various actions clearly show signs of using troops against eldest brother. At this time, if eldest brother cuts down the soldiers, if the army of Cao thief comes to attack, how can we defend Xiaopei with only a few thousand soldiers and horses!"

Guan Yu reminded in a deep voice.

But Liu Bei sneered: "Don't worry, Chang Yun, if Cao thief dares to attack our Xiaopei, he will be in a doomed situation."

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes gathered and looked at Liu Bei.

"Zi Fang, you go back first."

Liu Bei screened Mi Fang back, leaving only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Gan, a confidant in the hall.

Guan Yu hurriedly bowed his hands: "Big brother just said, forgive brother Yulu, and ask big brother to express it."

Liu Bei took out a silk book from his arms and raised it to Guan Yu: "This is what Zilong sent back from Xudu yesterday. After reading the second brother, you will understand what it means to be a brother."

===Chapter 048 I don't even like Cao Cao, you asked me to vote for the big ear thief? (Please evaluate the vote) ===

Guan Yu took the silk book with a suspicious look on his face.

After taking a look, Guan Yu's face changed suddenly, he immediately stood up, and respectfully held up the silk book.

"Second brother, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but wonder.

Guan Yu said sternly: "Yide, this is a secret edict from the emperor to the eldest brother, how can I be disrespectful."

"The emperor's secret edict?"

Zhang Fei's eyes were black and he was completely confused.

Liu Bei brushed his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, Chang Yun. This book is not really written by the emperor. The emperor's robe was given to Uncle Dong, and this book was recited by Uncle Dong."

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again. The two brothers, together with Sun Gan, read the silk book carefully.

State uncle Dong Cheng said in the book that the emperor gave him an imperial edict and ordered him to secretly contact the loyal ministers who supported the Han, conspiring to get rid of Cao Cao, a traitor in the country.

Dong Cheng said that he had joined the courtiers as internal aid, and wanted to ask Liu Bei for foreign aid. When Cao Cao was out on the expedition, he would launch a mutiny in Xudu to seize power and put Cao Cao to death.

"If this is the case, if Cao Cao dares to lead an army to attack my Xiaopei, Uncle Dong Guo and the others will take the opportunity to mutiny and seize power in Xudu, and the fire in Cao Cao's backyard will inevitably lead to chaos in the army and self-defeating without a fight!"

Guan Yu raised his head and looked at Liu Bei excitedly.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.

Sun Gan also rejoiced and said: "If this is the case, then we can safely dismiss our soldiers, and we don't have to worry about Cao Cao's attack."

"But if we cut our troops and horses, even if we're not afraid of Cao Cao, what about Lu Bu's side?"

Zhang Fei questioned.
