Meanwhile.

Xuzhou Xiapi City.

In the luxurious city lord's mansion, Liu Bei sat on the throne and stroked the orange-red new satin clothes he had just customized today.

I finally have my own territory, so I have to improve it.

"Big brother, this wine is delicious, if I want to be able to drink these fine wines every day, even if I die, it's worth it!" Zhang Fei picked up the wine on the table, drank it tons, and then tore off a chicken thigh and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Out of breath, as long as we succeed in banning salt in Xudu this time, Cao Thief will definitely ask us for peace, and then it will be when our lion opens his mouth, at that time, why worry about not having good wine and good meat every day, and then the eldest brother will give you a good family affair." Liu Bei's eyes looked out of the window and showed a fine light.

Then he raised his wine glass and toasted Mi Zhu next to him.

"Zizhong, without your advice and support with so much money, thank you."

"The lord is really tormenting his subordinates, and it is right to be able to contribute to the lord." Mi Zhu's face turned red, and he picked up his wine glass and hurriedly greeted him.

Although the ban on salt this time was quite a big loss for their Mi family, after all, it directly lost the income of several cities under Cao Cao's rule.

But in exchange for Liu Bei's trust and important official positions, all this is worth it.

"I'm afraid that Cao Thief, now that I have heard the news that we are going to ban salt, I'm afraid that he is already in a hurry, hahahaha!" Mi Fang next to her laughed.

"Big brother, do you think they will go to Yuan Shao to ask for salt?"

At this moment, Guan Yu, who was sitting down and drinking sullenly, suddenly said.

"This is absolutely unwilling, Yuan Shao was already at odds with Cao Thief, and now he is even more tense, Yuan Shao will definitely not help him." Liu Bei touched his mustache and showed a treacherous smile.

"Moreover, even if Yuan Shao helps, it is difficult to achieve a big thing, Beihai salt is known as the best in salt, and the price is high, which must be combined with the freight on the road, I am afraid that the price of our Xuzhou salt has doubled." Mi Zhu interjected.

"That's it, you don't have to worry at all, my eldest brother said that if it can be done this time, it will definitely be done."

Hearing the analysis of the two brothers of the Mi family, everyone thought that the Cao thief was dead this time.

After drinking, everyone drank about the same and began to brag.

"Big brother, if you want me to say, when the time comes, if the thief wants to talk about peace, let him hand over the Son of Heaven."

"Lord, I don't want not only the Son of Heaven, but also have to ask him to pay tens of thousands of gold, and the dwarf labor and management have long been unhappy."

"If you want me to say, let him exchange a city for peace, and the benevolence of the lord of the world is worthy of the upper position."

……

The night is long, and the moon sets.

The next day.

On the streets of Xudu, all the rice merchants and salt shops that were originally listed by Mijia are closed.

And the few remaining salt shops next to it are also skyrocketing in price.

Yesterday it was still 10 yuan a pound.

Today's listing price has reached 40 yuan a catty.

And the price is skyrocketing every hour.

The people next to me were shocked.

"Alas, Boss Wang, you sell this salt at such a high price, grab money!" A curious passer-by asked.

"Don't blame me for getting taller, you still use money to buy it now, and you won't be able to buy it with money after a while." The boss of the salt shop king also had a sad face.

"What's wrong, Boss Wang, what's wrong with us? My eldest brother is a soldier in the barracks, and I haven't heard that there have been wars recently? ”

As soon as they heard that there was a war in Xudu, the uncles and aunts who had planned to go grocery shopping also stopped.

Gathered at the door of Wang Kee's salt shop.

"Harm! There is indeed no war, we are all under the governance of the prime minister, who dares to attack us. Boss Wang didn't hide it either, and said bluntly.

"Then why did you suddenly ...... the price of salt" I heard that there was no war, but when I saw that the price of salt had quadrupled, the people who ate melons were even more puzzled.

If war is about to start, it is understandable that the prices of grain, salt, and vegetables will rise.

But I didn't see the price increase of the grain store next door.

Just when everyone can't figure it out.

Boss Salt's next sentence came out.

"Although there is no war, but on the Xuzhou side, Liu Bei will never provide us with salt again."

As soon as the voice came out.

Everyone was shocked.

What?

Salt ban?

The aunts and uncles immediately couldn't help it.

"No! How could he do that? ”

"Isn't he known as benevolent and righteous, what will we ordinary people eat after the salt ban?"

"Ahh As far as he is still benevolent and righteous, those who used to eat our prime minister used our prime minister's are completely rebellious. ”

"Dog things, especially his third brother, are so not things, come to my butcher's shop, kill half a catty of pork and never give money."

"Alas! In the future, there will be no cheap Xuzhou salt, so you can only eat Beihai salt. ”

"Think of a fart! Brother, look at the price of Beihai salt next door! ”

"! 80 yuan a catty, Beihai salt was only 20 yuan a pound yesterday? You don't have a ban on salt, why do you want to increase the price? ”

"Don't be stupid, big brother, Xuzhou salt is 50 yuan a catty, should the finer Beihai salt be cheaper."

Looking at the price in a circle, sure enough, everyone found out.

This morning, the salt shops on the whole street collectively increased their prices.

And one is more expensive than the other.

It was just a short time to chatter.

Beihai salt has risen by another 5 yuan, and now it has reached 85 yuan a catty.

Xuzhou Salt is also not far behind, and Boss Wang of Wangji Salt Shop directly took back the original price tag.

Got it back for a new price.

60 dollars a pound.

All the people who ate melons were shocked.

Now we know that the price of salt is wrong.

Do you still have a price increase from time to time?

The original people who ate melons are now desperately squeezing in front of the salt shop.

Who's cooking doesn't need salt anymore.

The devil knows what the price of salt will rise in the future.

First come, first served is the most reliable.

"Lao Wang, don't raise the price, it's too dark, hurry up and give me a pound first."

"If it's too expensive, get out, I'm not too expensive, let me come first."

"! Labor and management are at the front, don't cut the line! ”

"Alas, alas! It's you, why are you still cutting in line? Oh, it's a girl, so forget it, do you want to plug in the front or back? ”

"Bring me two catties of salt, let me come first, there are old and young, and I haven't eaten for three days."

"Get out! Li Gongzi, the silk of the brocade dress is not suitable, I saw you shopping last night. ”

"Don't squeeze it! My shoes, who trampled on my shoes, what about my shoes? ”

There is a large area of Wuyang, and the uncles and aunts don't buy vegetables anymore.

The group crowded at the door of the salt shop, as if they were hoarding a wave before the price rose again.

"Sister, be careful, how can you come out even if you are pregnant."

On the street, a cedar woman supports a pregnant woman.

I saw the Huangshan woman boasting a sword at her waist, like a heroine, heroic and cool, but her face was delicate and good-looking.

Although it is not as graceful and dignified as everyone's ladies, it is more playful and smart.

"Sister Guo, look at which lady on the street is dressed up like you, how can you find Ruyi Langjun in the future." Zhang Xiuchun clutched his stomach and quipped.

"Humph! If you can't find it, you can't find it, anyway, in the future, my wishful Langjun must be both civil and military, not only to turn over and kill the enemy on the battlefield, but also to chant poems to appreciate the flowers and the moon. Queen Guo couldn't help but show her girl's nostalgia when she thought about it.

"You!" Zhang Xiuchun pinched Queen Guo's little qiong's nose with her hand and doted.

"Why don't you say that you want to find a person who will descend from Wenqu Xing and Wuqu Xing!"

"Hee-hee-hee!"

Being teased like this, Queen Guo was also a little embarrassed, and she knew that her requirements were too high.

Take a look at Cao Zhi who has five buckets in the car, and Cao Yu who showed his light last time in the Yuedan Review.

Although he is good at writing, he doesn't know martial arts.

Where in the world are there people who are perfect.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart, if there really was.

Even if she is a moth to a fire, she must rush forward.

"Sister, look at the many people on the street!"

The noise at the entrance of Dongjiekou interrupted Queen Guo's thoughts, and when she raised her head, she saw a dense queue of people not far ahead.

I couldn't see the head of the queue, and even almost lined up at the West Street entrance.

"That's a lot of people! East Street, a market street that specializes in buying firewood, rice, oil and salt, what is everyone lining up here? Zhang Xiuchun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, covering her lower abdomen and thinking secretly.

Anything that requires people to queue up to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt must be a time for war turmoil

But I haven't heard my husband say that there will be a war recently.

"Sister, let's not go over, after all, you are pregnant!" Queen Guo held this Xiuchun's hand.

"It's okay, I'll just go over and ask the old man in front." Zhang Xiuchun shook his hand and took two slow steps forward.

"Grandpa, can I ask you what you are queuing up to buy?"
