"I have to thank Sister Mi. Thank you for helping Xianzheng from the side." Zhen Mi took Mi Huan's hand and thanked him.

Mi Huan smiled faintly: "Sister, you are polite. In fact, Mr. Yuan has helped our Mi family's business a lot, so I should help you."

The two of them seemed to be very close. In a few words, they called each other sisters. The two of them had a lot of chatting, but they left Yuan Fang aside.

"Cough cough." Yuan Fanggan stood for a while and had to cough to remind them of their existence.

Mi Huan then thought of something and said with a hurried smile: "I almost forgot a serious matter. Regarding the sharing of farmland, I have convinced my brother that I don't want the achievements of my Mi family this year, and I will give them all to the young master."

"Really?" Yuan Fang was quite surprised and said strangely: "Miss Mi said that your Mi family never does business at a loss. 10% of the gains are quite good, why don't you want it?"

Mi Huan smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Young Master and Yuan Shao are about to confront each other, and it is a critical moment when we urgently need food and grass. If the young master loses, then the money we invested in our Mi family will be wasted. Is it a real big deal to give up small profits and pursue big profits."

Yuan Fang understood.

The Mi family is catching big fish for a long line, and spending 10% of the military farming and producing grain this year to help Yuan Fang overcome difficulties. Only when Yuan Fang resists Yuan Shao's attack and defends Qingzhou can his Mi family continuously obtain the share of military farming in the future.

No wonder the Mi family has become one of the three richest people in the world. This courage to not seek small profits is indeed amazing.

"Since that's the case, I'll thank Miss Mi." Yuan Fang smiled and did not point it out.

"We are on the same boat when we have money, so why should we be polite?"

Mi Huanying smiled and then said, "By the way, there is another thing. Although the young master uses military farming to solve the problem of food and grass, the military salary needs are still a problem. Qingzhou is surrounded by the sea and has the power of fishing and salt. I think the young master can imitate military farming, boil salt on the beach, and sell it to all directions in the future. This is a considerable income."

Yuan Fang was excited. He was worried about military pay, but Mi Huan's proposal solved a big problem for him.

"It is indeed very profitable to boil salt, but to make a big move, the human resources used for cooking salt are also a considerable expense. With Qingzhou's current financial situation, I am afraid I can't afford it." Yuan Fang said worried again.

Mi Huan smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, don't worry. My Mi family can make a fortune in the investment, but then the income from the salt sales will also want to get a small share of the pie."

It was not as expected by Yuan Fang.

This Mihuan looked pretty and charming, but her mind was so smart. How could he propose a solution to the finances for himself for no reason? As expected, he also wanted to earn a share of his share.

Yuan Fang smiled happily and said, "Your Mi family will pay me money, so naturally I can't let you suffer a loss. How could I be stingy about the salt sharing?"

The two of them immediately discussed the salt industry, and they talked enthusiastically for a while, and ignored Zhen Mi a little.

Seeing that Zhen Mi couldn't get in, she didn't bother them and silently retreated.

When he turned to the back hall, Zhen Mi looked back and looked at Yuan Fang and Mi Huan’s chatting and laughing. For some reason, she felt a little lost.

"Xianzheng is facing difficulties now, and he needs someone to help the most. Isn't it much better for Sister Mi to help Xianzheng? How can I have selfishness?"

Zhen Huan shook his blame, tried his best to remove those thoughts that should not have, and turned around and left.

In the lobby, Yuan Fang was very excited and talked about salt and other business matters for half an hour.

Yuan Fang couldn't help but find that Mi Huan was really a financial expert, and all the suggestions he gave him could increase the income of the government without increasing the burden on the people of Qingzhou.

Inadvertently, Yuan Fanghui ignored the relationship between Mi Huan's partner and regarded her as an indispensable right-hand man.

Before he knew it, the sky was dark, and it was not until the servant came in to put on the light that Yuan came back to his senses from the conversation.

"Where is Mi'er?" Yuan Fang realized that Zhen Mi was no longer there.

The little tea served beside him sighed, "Young Master is just concerned about talking about things. Miss Zhen is afraid of disturbing you, so she quietly retreated."

"Just just talking about the serious matters, I ignored Mi'er." Yuan Fang touched his forehead with his fingers and said to himself.

Mi Huan blamed himself: "It was me who visited a sudden visit and disturbed the relationship between Mr. Zhen. I would like to ask Mr. Zhen to apologize to Mr. Zhen on my behalf."

Under the candlelight, a hint of apology appeared on Mihuan's beautiful face.

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "You are here for the most important things. Why do you apologize? Mi'er is a person who knows the general and will not be petty about this little thing. Miss Mi should not worry."

When Mi Huan heard Yuan Fang call out "Mi'er" so kindly, he always calls her "Miss Mi" respectfully. Mi Huan couldn't help feeling a little sad.

With a slight pout, Mi Huan complained: "I have shared hardships with my son, but why does the young master always call me like a lady? It seems so unfamiliar."

At this time, Mihuan pouted her mouth and her beautiful eyebrows were so cool. Her tone and demeanor actually had a bit of charming charm.

Yuan Fang's heart moved slightly, but he smiled and said, "What should I call you?"

"Just call me ring..."

She originally wanted Yuan Fang to call her "Huan'er", but when she said that, she felt that the name "Huan'er" seemed too close to her, and she seemed to be a little bit that way.

When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, thought for a while and said, "Young Master, please call me Xiaohuan. Brother and the others call me that."

"Okay, Xiaohuan." Yuan Fang was not shy and asked her to speak out to Xiaohuan in a frank manner.

Mi Huan smiled with her eyebrows and her pouted mouth then let go, her face full of smiles as if she was peach blossoms.

Looking at the beauty with a smile in front of her, Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something important, and his cheerful face became solemn.

"I defeated Yuan Tan now and forced Ju Yi to surrender. Yuan Shao will be furious and raise his troops to attack. At that time, Pingyuan City will become a battlefield for strangulation. Xiao Huan, you are your daughter's house after all, so you should go back to Beihai to avoid being in danger." Yuan Fang thought about her safely and advised her to leave.

Mi Huan smiled and asked, "What about Sister Zhen? Young Master, aren't you afraid that she will be in danger?"

"Mi'er?" Yuan Fang didn't think much, and shook his head and said, "Mi'er is different."

Yuan Fang's words were not clearly stated, but the implication was that although Zhen Mi and him had not gotten married, they were already like husband and wife, and they should live and die together.

Mi Huan's eyebrows were firmly fixed and he said resolutely: "Although the young master only regards Huan as a business partner, Huan treats the young master as... as a friend who is in love. Since this is the case, when the young master is in trouble, I, Mi Huan, should share the hardships with the young master."

That weak body was actually generous, with a faint sense of feminine style

Yuan Fang was moved by a warm heart.

How could he not feel Mi Huan's concern for himself? However, now that the war is imminent, how could he be entangled in his children's love?

Looking at Mi Huan, Yuan Fang laughed loudly and said proudly: "Okay, you are a close friend, I, Yuan Fang, have a good relationship. Xiao Huan, if you have the courage, stay in the city and see how I defeat Yuan Shao and become famous all over the world."

The passion was surging, and the crazy laughter resounded inside and outside the lobby.

Mi Huan's beautiful face couldn't help but smile.

...

A few days later, the news of Yuan Shao sending troops finally came back to Yecheng.

Yuan Fang personally led a 50,000 infantry and cavalry army, including Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang He, Han Meng and other generals, and all the elite Jizhou soldiers launched from Ye City and rushed towards Pingyuan City in a mighty manner.

Fifty thousand infantry and cavalry, Wen Chou and Zhang He all came out, and Yuan Shao's formation was indeed really moving.

In addition to Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao also ordered his allies and nominally superior Cao Cao to lead his army to attack the Gaotang line from Yanzhou and attack Yuan Fang's side.

What surprised Yuan Fang was that Cao Cao not only obeyed Yuan Shao's orders, but also led an army of 30,000 from Dongjun to advance west along the river, and posed as if he was vowed to take over Gao Tang.

"Yuan Shao's 50,000 troops arrived at Guantao, but Cao Cao was active and tight. His troops were already over 100 miles away from Gaotang. Is he really going to fight with us?" Taishi Ci pointed to the map and said suspiciously.

"Yuan Shao's army stationed in Tao Buqian clearly wanted Cao Cao to fight with us first, and while dealing with us, he also weakened Cao Cao's strength. Cao Cao was not that stupid. He should be able to see Yuan Shao's intention, why is he still so active?" Yuan Fang touched his finger and said.

Guo Jia wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth and sighed: "It is because of his intelligence that Cao Cao acted positively to respond to Yuan Shao. I think although his voice was loud, he would probably not be serious."

Guo Jia was very accurate in dealing with Cao Cao, the lord who was almost about to defect to, and he revealed Cao Cao's intention in one sentence.

Yuan Fang suddenly thought of something and patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said, "Fengxiao, if I hadn't encountered you outside Gonggao City, I'm afraid you would have been in Cao Cao's camp at this time and would have been wondering how to help him plot against me."

"That's really unsure." Guo Jia didn't deny it, but sighed: "But with the lord's unexpected personality, I really can't figure it out."

Yuan Fang laughed loudly, and the tense atmosphere of the military discussion in the palace hall also made it much easier.

"Even if Cao Cao didn't really plan to go to war with us, he restrained Gao Tang's five thousand soldiers. If we could draw out these five thousand soldiers, we would have a greater chance of winning." Hao Zhao's words brought the attention of the big guy back to reality.

Yuan Fang pondered for a moment and asked Bimo to serve him. He personally picked up a pen and wrote a letter.

When the book was completed, Yuan Fang handed the letter to Sun Qian and ordered: "You should go to Cao's camp quickly and handed my letter to Cao Cao, and tell him the interests of the people and ask him not to fall into Yuan Shao's plan, don't go against me, and quickly retreat."

Sun Qian put away the letter, but asked again: "What if Cao Cao refused to withdraw his troops?"
