It was late at the end of last night's banquet, the doors were closed, and the guests were all staying in the house. When Li Mu saw Li Bi, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you to the second uncle for helping to maintain it yesterday, the kid is not strong enough to drink, and the second uncle smiled when he saw it." ”

Li Bi laughed and said: "The eldest nephew is too modest, three glasses of such strong wine, you have drunk more than one jar, is this still too much to drink?" ”

Li Mu laughed hehehe, his alcohol consumption in later generations is indeed nothing, but in this Tang Dynasty, there is no era of high alcohol, his alcohol consumption can be regarded as top-notch.

After the greetings, Li Bi got down to business and said: "Eldest nephew, I came to you to ask, do you have any arrangements today, if you are free, let's go to Ba, the winery has been built according to the drawings you drew, and those wooden parts have already been prepared, if you have no problems after reading, we will start work on a certain day." ”

Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, the Guogong Mansion was really profound, and such a large winery was built in a few days. How did he know that for the sake of this winery, the Guogong Mansion almost stopped everything and sent all the house slaves up. Li Mu's wine is like a mountain of gold, who is not in a hurry when he looks at it. The government has a big business and a lot of expenses, and it is also very short of money. Not only him, but the nobles of Chang'an City, even the eldest grandson Wuji, are short of money, otherwise why would he covet the 20,000 yuan of filial piety of the Zheng family in Jiangnan every year.

"Since the second uncle is ready, let's go over when we finish breakfast. I also have the iron parts ready, the koji is ready-made, in the past, I pulled a few carts of grain over, installed the equipment, if there is no problem, I will try it this afternoon to see how it works. ”

"Good! Then it's decided, I'll have someone pass the word over, load the grain into the truck, and tell the other side to prepare it. ”

After Li Bi finished speaking, Li Mu looked back at the account room, frowned, and said, "You! Don't worry about the affairs of the house for now, and you'll go to the brewery with me later. What are the accounts......" Li Mu looked around, glanced at Li Zhien who was hiding behind the rockery, and said, "Little girl, come here!" ”

Li Zhien was shocked when he was discovered, but he didn't dare not come, and came to Li Mu according to his words. Li Mu pointed to Li Zhien next to him and said, "She will take care of the accounts first, and everything else will remain unchanged, do you understand?" ”

"No!"

The subordinates responded loudly, Li Mu asked where Bai Chao'er lived, and brought the account room to find Bai Chao'er.

Bai Nao'er woke up early, and he didn't sleep well these days. When he came to Chang'an that day, he only stayed in the Cao Guogong Mansion for one night, and then took the title deed of 20 hectares of land given by Li Mu to Bashang to settle down. These days, I have never entered Chang'an City. It's not that someone is looking at him, it's that he doesn't dare. Don't look at how powerful Bai Nao'er seems to be on weekdays, but it was in that small place in Mayi, and when he left Mayi City, his courage was seven points smaller.

At the time of Dingxiang, Li Mu became a county official who was not listed, so Bai Haoer couldn't make trouble. Now that Li Mu has sealed the Hou, Bai Nao'er saw that his legs and stomach were turning. The biggest official he has ever seen in his life is the county magistrate of Mayi City. What kind of official the marquis was, Bai Hao'er didn't understand it at all, because it was beyond the scope of his imagination.

These days, Bai Nao'er has been staying on the twenty acres of land given to him by Li Mu. Li Bi sent him three craftsmen to help him build a house, and he was always busy, and he didn't dare to come to Li Mu, if it weren't for Bai Gensheng going home to visit him a few times, he wouldn't even know the news from Li Mu's side. Last time, Bai Gensheng went home and talked about Li Mu's winemaking. Bai Hao'er remembered it in his heart, he knew about Li Mu's cooperation with the Guogong Mansion, and he also remembered that Li Mu had promised him the position of shopkeeper, but he didn't dare to mention it now, for fear that Li Mu would change his mind and annoy him again. But I couldn't let go of my heart, I was uneasy, and I couldn't sleep well for days.

"Lord Yue, my son-in-law came to pay a visit."

When he arrived at the door, Li Mu said loudly. Bai Nao'er heard Li Mu's voice in the house, jumped up from the bed, and thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked the Wang family who was cleaning up next to him, and said, "Wife, did I hear it wrong, is Li Mu here?" ”

Wang glanced at him and said, "Yes, I'm here for you." ”

"Oops! Fold your life, how can you let your virtuous son-in-law give me this old immortal hello, oops! Bai Nao'er jumped off the bed, pulled on her shoes, took three steps and made two steps, almost didn't fall on her stomach, and crawled to the door and opened the door, seeing that it was really Li Mu, she quickly got out of the way and said: "Why did the virtuous son-in-law get up so early, oops, come in quickly, enter the house!" ”

Li Mu had long been accustomed to Bai Hao'er's face, and he was not surprised, he entered the house, found a chair to sit on, and said straight to the point: "Uncle, the wine shop is almost ready, I will go over later, if there is no problem, I will start the trial brewing this afternoon." I said it earlier, I asked you to be the shopkeeper of the winery, I don't know if my father-in-law is still willing to do it now? ”

"Do it, do it, do it!" Bai Hao'er said I don't know how many 'do's in a row, and Li Mu thought he was stammering. Bai Nao'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I have been thinking about this all the time, and I dare not tell you, oops, it has to be my good virtuous son-in-law, you haven't forgotten me, you will do what you say!" ”

Li Mu automatically filtered out Bai Hao'er's praise and said, "Since the father-in-law is still willing to do it, then let's talk about it in front." The transaction belongs to me and Li Siwen, according to the agreement, I will contribute the technology, he will contribute the material resources, I will account for five into five, and he will account for four into five. He also has a shopkeeper on the other side, surnamed Huang. You're my treasurer, and I'll introduce you later. In the future, you will discuss the matter, I don't know how he will pay the Huang shopkeeper on his side, but on your side, I plan to give you half of the net profit. What do you think? ”

"Half percent?" Bai Hao'er wondered if it was a little less, but he didn't dare to say it. When Li Mu saw his expression, he guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Zhangren, if you think it is less, I can give you fifty yuan a year." ”

"Fifty runs?!" Bai Lao'er was stunned by this number, fifty yuan, when he opened a wine shop in Mayi, the profit of a year was not five yuan, and it swelled ten times at once, he couldn't even think about it. Bai Hao'er was about to agree, but the words came to her lips, and suddenly she felt that something was not right. His intuition told him that he would definitely regret choosing fifty times.

Bai Hao'er rolled her eyes three times, laughed, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, it's still half a percent." ”

Li Mu took his expression in his eyes, didn't say anything, and said: "Then it's decided, this is Qian Dahai next to him, and I will follow you to do the accounting room in the future." As he spoke, he paused and said in an accentuated tone: "Zhangren, let's talk about the ugly words in front." The accounts of the winery must be accounted for clearly, not only you have accounts here, but also the Huang shopkeeper has accounts, if you don't count, if there is a problem on either side, you can't eat and walk around, don't blame my son-in-law for not being emotional. ”

Bai Hao'er's expression stiffened when she heard this, and she tried to squeeze out a smile: "How, how is it possible, I don't worry about you." ”

Li Mu didn't speak, motioned for Qian Dahai to stay and get acquainted with Bai Nao'er, got up and went out, he also wanted to meet Li Ji and discuss things about Li Yuan's business.
