Gu Sizhi wanted to maintain the dignity of the 'old wang clan', but he didn't know that the Jiangnan wang clan who felt that the rivers were declining had a heart in their hearts that wanted to rise again. Looking at today's Datang, the only person who can bring them this opportunity is Li Mu. How could they not seize this opportunity?

The Xiao family has no reservations about Li Mu. But in Yangzhou City, the power of the Xiao family is very limited, and their shipyard cannot meet the needs of the Wanshi ship, if you want the Wanshi ship to close, you must use the Zhu family's shipyard. But herein, there's a catch. The Wanshi boat is a project that the Xiao family has spent a lot of money bidding for, and they are still counting on the rise of the Wanshi boat, but now the Zhu family has done nothing, but they are taking advantage of the fisherman, and the Xiao family is unwilling.

Li Mu also understood this problem in his heart, and the problem he was facing now was that he had to find a way that would benefit all parties to weigh the assignment.

Li Mu took out the map he had drawn to write and draw, and finally, when the day was about to dawn, he planned a result, and then rested with a satisfied smile.

The head snake is not in vain, before Li Mu woke up, all parties in Yangzhou had received news that Li Mu had already boarded the ship and was staying at the Yuelai Inn. All parties came to the Yuelai Inn at the same time with a tacit understanding, but no one dared to disturb Li Mu's rest, they were all waiting in the hall, they were all people who knew each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward to gather again, but they both understood what was going on with each other, and no one should laugh at anyone, so they tacitly agreed.

At noon, Li Mu woke up. Just as he was about to ask Xiao Er to send something to eat in the room, he heard someone downstairs singing: "Wu Jun Gu, enter a food box, please taste it." ”

Before the words fell, another voice also sounded like a competition: "Wujun Zhu, enter two food boxes, please taste them." ”

"Langya Wang's family, present a delicacies box, please taste it."

"Hui Ji Yu ......"

One by one, the food boxes were brought in, and Li Mu was stunned. Looking at the meter-long food box, he really couldn't think of how many dishes he could fill it.

Shopkeeper Xiao appeared in the room at some point, and seeing that Li Mu was a little confused, he leaned into his ear and muttered. Li Mu showed a look of surprise, came to the side of the food box, and reached out to open the food box. I saw that this was a three-layer food box, with three pastries on the first layer and four dishes on the second layer, but this was not the point, and there was a mystery on the third floor. Normally, in order to avoid the bumps in the food box, the third layer should put some heavy objects to stabilize the center of gravity, which is generally square stones, but this food box is not, there are stacks of square silver ingots in it, and it is roughly estimated that there are thousands of taels.

Blatant bribery!

Li Mu opened the other food boxes, all without exception. Li Mu laughed, looked at the shopkeeper Xiao who was a little cramped next to him, and said, "It's some people who can be people, why doesn't the Xiao family have a food box?" ”

Shopkeeper Xiao replied: "Master Hou, the Xiao family can afford such a food box. But the head of the family secretly thought that what Hou Ye needed was not a food box, but someone who could help Hou Ye with his errands. We all rely on the Hou Ye to eat, how dare we show off in front of the Hou Ye? ”

Li Mu laughed and said: "The words are good, but it is not wrong for people to give gifts, there is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, and it is not strange to give many people." In this way, each food box, leave a dish to taste, and take the rest down, they waited all morning, and they didn't eat, everyone ate together. After eating, let's have a good chat, Ben Hou likes to get straight to the point, guess and waste time, time is not waiting! ”

"What Master Hou says, it's what it is!" Shopkeeper Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, and Li Mu asked him to say it, invisibly announcing the special status of the Xiao family, so that no matter how Li Mu chooses, the benefits that the Xiao family will get in the end will definitely not be less than any family.

Each food box leaves one dish, a total of fifteen food boxes, and the final one leaves fifteen dishes. Li Mu, Wei Yingluo and Jin Chen, their appetite was limited, they couldn't eat much, and most of them ended up in Li Chongyi's belly.

However, the few dishes that Li Mu tasted were all delicious. After inquiry, I learned that they are the most famous foods in Yangzhou.

Spring rolls with shepherd's cabbage, simmered noodles with crab roe, three buns, osmanthus sugar lotus root porridge, Li Mu wrote down the names of the dishes, and instructed to find two cooks who were willing to go to Luoyang with him, planning to raise a cook in the Hou Mansion, and he could eat it at any time if he wanted to.

Removing the scraps, Li Mu came downstairs, and everyone who had been waiting for almost a day and a night finally saw the rumored Luoyang Hou. Everyone was surprised when they saw Li Mu's first impression, because Li Mu was too young, but when Li Mu approached, he didn't dare to have a look of contempt, everyone had their own aura, Li Mu had been in the top position for a long time, and he glanced at it casually, like a tiger watching, which made people frightened.

"The psychology of everyone is clear to Ben Hou." Li Mu really got straight to the point, there was no nonsense, and he surprised everyone directly: "To give an inappropriate example, Yangzhou Port is like a piece of meatloaf, now each of you eats a piece, you are worried that Ben Hou will rob you when he comes, Ben Hou will eat a bite, you will eat one less, Ben Hou has a big appetite, you have no food." Fight, you're worried that you won't be able to fight. Admit it, you don't want to admit it yet, your heart is extremely entangled, but is this? ”

Everyone hurriedly bowed and left the table, not daring to say anything.

"Ben Hou is not a clever person, although the reputation on the rivers and lakes, it seems that Ben Hou and the gate valve family, it is a little unpleasant. However, everything has a reason, Ben Hou is not an unreasonable person, on the contrary, Ben Hou is very reasonable. Li Mu paused, waved his hand, motioned for Li Chongyi to hang up the picture he had drawn, and continued; First of all, I will inform you that the port of Yangzhou must be requisitioned. No one can change this fact, but Ben Hou is not in vain, there are two ways to compensate, you can choose. ”

Li Mu took out a bamboo, pointed to a place on the map, and said, "Here, you are more familiar than me, this is Wu County." I can tell you that there are abundant deposits for making cement, and the reserves are among the largest in the country. What's even more rare is that there is also an iron mine here, which is also equivalent to gold in the future. ”

"How is that possible!" Everyone looked at each other, many of them, their hometown is Wu County, they were born and grew up here, their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they didn't even know what Li Mu said!

Li Mu ignored everyone's reactions and continued: "Of course, the specific location, Ben Hou can't say now, just tell you. Cement plants and iron ore mines will be available as one of the compensations. ”

Hearing that Li Mu actually used a cement factory and iron ore as compensation, he almost blurted out the word agreement. But the businessman's naturally greedy nature made them hold back, and their intuition told them that there must be something better to come!
