Chapter 844: Is This Still My System?
After confirming that Wang Ou was not joking, Li Mu retracted his judgment just now. He originally thought that although Wang Ou was very rich, it was only more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan, and the huge Qinghe Cui clan should not be shameless for this money.
But what if it's a million?
It is estimated that it is "really fragrant".
If they are not "really fragrant", they will directly give this money to Li Shimin and ask for a holy decree to give marriage, it is estimated that Li Shimin can also be "really fragrant" after weighing the pros and cons.
But the question is, why should you hand over so much money!
Li Mu would definitely not suffer such a big loss.
Suddenly, he realized a problem again, his wife was so close to that Mrs. Lu, between her and the heirsβ
Li Mu asked hesitantly, and sure enough, the situation was a little bad.
"Husband, Sister Lu and I have known each other since we were five years old." Wang Ou also probably guessed that Li Mu and Mrs. Lu might be a little out of place, and carefully considered the sentence: "She is a few years older than me, and treats me like a sister and a mother, and she can't protect me anymore." When I was at the most depressed and lowest point in my life, she also reached out and pulled, otherwise I wouldn't have done anything to buy or sell, and I wouldn't even be able to read the account books. Later, Sister Lu had a lot of affairs, so she handed over some business matters to me. I am a deacon in the heir hall. However, my sister is very considerate of me, I am only responsible for business-related things, and I am not involved in other things at all. β
Wang Ou said this, a little bit of a favor for Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu took her to do business, of course, it was true. But if Wang Ou was not talented, no matter how much Mrs. Lu helped, she would never be able to do such a big business today. Not to mention that she will teach her to take care of the business of the heir hall, if she is a stupid person, no matter how close her sisters are, it is impossible.
Wang Ou looked at Li Mu's face and said softly: "If my husband is unhappy, I will send a letter to Sister Lu and make it clear to her that these businesses will have nothing to do with me in the future." Whether it's Jihetang's business or my business, it's all with Sister Lu's help, so let's give it to her. If there were no such things, the capital invested back then would have been earned back long ago. Without this extra million guan, we still have a million guan left. Wang Ou raised his hand and pointed down, and said: "Just in the belly of this mountain, there is a naturally formed karst cave, the entrance is extremely secret, and there are also mechanisms set up by the first sect master. Hidden in it is the treasures saved by the masters of the past generations, and I counted it once three years ago, and the gold and silver alone, not counting antique gems, etc., have millions of dollars. When we go back to Luoyang, we will dig it out and take it away. β
"Hmm-" Li Mu pondered.
Does he want money? Want, who in this world can be too rich? If Li Shimin knew that there was a treasure worth millions of guan here, he would have sent troops to rob it. With this million guan, his 10,000-strong cavalry has eyebrows. This money is also extremely useful when it falls into Li Mu's hands. With this money, he wants to build Luoyang into a financial center, which can be completed at least three years in advance, and the business of building a 10,000-stone ship will not delay any progress because of money.
However, can you take this money?
The accumulation of the previous generations of the Snake Spirit Sect is the foundation of the people of Miao Jiang. If you say that the people of Miao Jiang are very rich, it doesn't matter. But now most of the people in Miaojiang, compared with the people in the Central Plains, are obviously struggling to survive below the poverty line.
Li Mu thought so, a little bit of a virgin. In fact, in the eyes of everyone, the wealth of the Snake Spirit Sect is not the wealth of the Miao people. The wealth of the Snake Spirit Sect has never been shared with the Miao people. The successive sect leaders passed down to the past generations, and it was also spent on the past generations of sect leaders, and it had nothing to do with the people. On the day of the birth of the Snake Spirit Sect, it was with the purpose of enslaving the people of Miaojiang, but in a different way.
Can the slaves' sacrifice be said to be their deposits? Apparently not.
But Li Mu can't do this. He can be a pit gate valve with peace of mind, but he can't be at ease, looking at people who are struggling to survive, because because of some of his actions, life has become more difficult.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mu said: "We won't take the money from the Snake Spirit Sect." As for the heirsβ"
Li Mu smiled and said, "You don't have to quit, if you let you separate from your best sister because you married me, my husband has failed enough." Let's talk about our own things, the business should continue to be done, and there are things that can't be done to make money. β
"Butβ" Wang Ou hesitated for a moment and said, "Husband, you also know what the heir hall does. If His Majesty knows about this matter, I am afraid that it will cause death. I want to quit, not only because of these, now that we have a daughter, I don't want to participate in all the miscellaneous things in the future, I want to spare time, spend more time with my husband, and raise our daughter. β
"That's it......" This is also what Li Mu thought in his heart, and he didn't say it, because he was afraid that Wang Ou would give up his career because of him. But since Wang Ou himself thought so, he had no reason to stop it, so he said: "In this case, you can do what you want." I'm talking a lot, Miao Jiang's side, I can't completely ignore it in the future. Look at this place, the life of the people is much more difficult than after the war in the Central Plains. After eradicating the Cui clan's forces, they also need to be filled. When we return to Luoyang, let's organize a caravan, don't plan to make money, and help the people of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end, after all, you are their holy daughter. β
"Hmm!" Wang Ou smiled and nodded, she was very happy to do something for the people of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks. She used to do the same, but it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, she understood what Li Mu meant, and cultivated some merchants for Miaojiang, so that the seeds of merchants could take root and sprout in Miaojiang. Just like a merchant in the Central Plains, doing business can do business on the other side of the Silk Road, as long as the imperial court opens up the policy, Miaojiang's economy will soon improve.
The two of them adjusted their postures, and Wang Ou gently snuggled on Li Mu's chest, half-squinting, looking a little tired: "After the Snake Spirit Sect is gone, what are you going to do with this Snake Spirit Mountain, you don't want to take the treasure away, there is no one to guard here, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later." β
"Didn't you say there was a mechanism?"
"There are mechanisms that can prevent a few people, the elders of Wu Miao and Bai Miao, most of them know that there is such a treasure, if no one takes care of it, they dig down from the top of the mountain, and after digging for a year and a half, haven't they dug up everything?"
It's a problem, indeed.
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we disband the Snake Spirit Sect," he paused, and without waiting for Wang Ou to ask, he continued: "Let's change it." β
"Huh?"
"How about building a sect? A sect that only women can join. β
Wang Ou frowned slightly, looked at Li Mu suspiciously, and said, "Why only women are allowed to join?" β
"What are you thinking nonsense?" Li Mu knew what she was thinking when he saw Wang Ou's eyes. But he really didn't have that thought, but thought of a school in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", in the game, there is a school that can only create female characters.
"You see, whether it's Bai Miao or Wu Miao, it's men who take care of things. Those village owners, elders, are all men. This raises the question, if the women of Miaojiang are bullied, what will they do? Wang Ou nodded subconsciously, and Li Mu continued to be kind and seductive, and said: "Let's create a sect that only women can join, so that this sect can balance Wu Miao and Bai Miao, and it can be regarded as giving the daughter of the Miao family a common maiden family." β
"This sect can accommodate talented girls from the Miao family and teach them skills. For example, martial arts, medical skills, and so on. It is also possible to take in orphans so that they do not starve to death. I know that Miao Jiang's side is also patriarchal. Even if a male baby has no parents, most of them are adopted, while if a female baby has no parents, most of them are discarded. β
This is said to Wang Ou's heart, she has been in Miaojiang for more than ten years, and she has seen many similar examples. Every time she tried to save the child, but she was a childless woman, and she couldn't take the child with her, so she could only give money to the family who adopted the child. But some people, after taking the money, will also find a way to let the child die. Human nature is like this, and there is nothing she can do.
"When these children grow up, they have a favorite object, and they find their in-laws. Even if they leave the sect, after all, they were born and grew up here, and their hearts are also oriented here. When the time comes, whether it is a black seedling or a white seedling, we will have our eyeliner, and we will all know it-"
Wang Ou sounded a little wrong, and asked, "What are you going to do, husband, we don't want to be the emperor here." β
"Then you have to let Wu Miao or Bai Miao rebel after the power grows bigger, right?" Li Mu explained: "Our original intention is to let the people have a full meal and live a good life. It's not the people who raise the ambitions of those wolves to satisfy their own selfishness. Human nature is uncertain, when he asks for you, what you say, what he should do. If one day, he is full of wings, he will not remember the kindness of the past. Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about the two great elders of Bai Miao and Wu Miao, if they don't keep it together, one day, they will be reversed, and it's all a matter of maybe! β
Wang Ou didn't dare to refute this, there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and when the Tang Dynasty was first decided, didn't Miao Jiang rebel? As a result, the difference in forces was too great, and Li Xiaogong's army had not yet crossed the river, so it was instigated to surrender, and it was only more than ten years ago.
"Okay, then Ifu-kun's." After Wang Ou gave birth to a child, she became more and more reluctant to make up her mind on major matters, what Li Mu said, she might question it, but it was just to check and fill in the gaps, what Li Mu wanted to do, she basically had no opinion: "Then what is this sect called?" β
"Since they are all women, we have to choose a name that matches." Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Let's call it the Hundred Flowers Palace, when it comes out, let's build a palace on the top of the cave where the treasure is hidden, and pour all the walls of the cave, just like the vault of the Chang'an Bank, and the entrance will also be changed, so that it can be guaranteed." β
"Hmm."
When Li Mu built a vault in the craftsman's workshop, it was when the two of them were in love. Wang Ou had seen the bank's vault built with her own eyes, and she knew very well how strong that cellar was. Except for the main entrance, you can't dig anywhere else. Chang'an didn't know how many thieves wanted to dig a hole to steal money, but no one ever succeeded. It is said that there is a master who is good at robbing tombs, who dug up from a mile away and worked for half a month, but only left a few traces on the outer wall of pouring. And that outer wall, which is said to be several meters thick, is basically impossible to dig through without sleeping for more than ten years.
Construction is the old profession of Li Mu, the former waiter of the Ministry of Works, since he said it, Wang Ou believes that he can do it.
The husband and wife had made up their minds, so they hugged each other and fell asleep. Other trivial matters, Wang Ou will handle them properly, and there is no need for Li Mu to work too hard.
β¦β¦
After sleeping for a short day yesterday, Li Mu's spirit has almost recovered. So after falling asleep, he went straight to the system space. It's been a day since I left the snake spirit here, and I don't know if it will be able to adapt to it.
"Oh, what the hell is this!" Li Mu was startled, he was surprised to find that the little girl incarnated by the snake spirit was gone, replaced by a toad, and it was also a toad! How is this done?
Li Mu snapped his fingers, called up the system log, and quickly found out the reason.
He synthesized the source code of the AI assistant into the source code of the snake spirit, and forgot to take back the permission. The original AI assistant, Li Mu gave some permissions for convenience, which also includes modeling permissions, after all, when developing games, many models of the same type are automatically generated in batches, not one by one. If it has to be manual, a game is afraid to do the Year of the Monkey.
The snake spirit took advantage of this loophole and applied the toad's model to himself, which was the scene he saw when Li Mu came in.
Li Mu carried one of the toad's legs and shook it, and the toad returned to his original modeled appearance. The little girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm practicing immortal arts, didn't you say I could learn it?" β
"Immortals, immortals?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, for the snake spirit, being able to 'transform' at will is not immortal art?
Okay, I can make up for it myself, but I also save a lot of tongues. Li Mu didn't bother to explain, and said, "Ling'er, I'll tell you seriously." As for the immortal arts, you can practice it when I'm not there, and when you see me, please give me a normal one. I don't want to talk to a toad," the little girl pouted, and Li Mu asked again, "What's the matter, are you still used to staying here?" β
"Get used to it." As soon as Ling'er raised her hand, there was an extra bun in her hand, and she stuffed it into her mouth: "Some eat, some drink, and you can cultivate immortals, what are your habits?" β
Li Mu's eyes were about to pop out! What's going on, what's going on! Is this still my system?
