Wang Jue sighed and said, "In short, promise him first!" If you go to him tomorrow, you will say that Datang Mining is in charge of everything, listen to him for everything, and talk about the difficulties in front of you! ”

"But he said that he was not allowed to go to him for the past few days, and that he wanted to rest well......"

"Do you believe that?" Wang Jue said angrily: "He said this to let you give it to me and the eldest grandson Wuji!" He knows that you can't sit down with the Lord, so let you take the word and give us a few days to think about it. I can't understand this, I'm really stupid! Okay, you rest early, go early tomorrow, and you won't be kicked out! ”

Wang Pu was scolded for being a bloody squirt, but he honestly agreed. That night, he rested in Wang Jue's mansion for one night, and early the next morning, he went to Li Mu's mansion again.

Li Mu had just finished washing up and was about to have breakfast, and when he heard that Wang Pu had arrived, he asked the maid to move his breakfast to the front yard lobby and invite Wang Pu to join him. Wang Pu was flattered, and sat down tremblingly, after the matter of splashing dung, he felt that Li Mu regarded him more and more as a person, and this feeling actually made him a little fluttering. You must know that Li Mu's arrogance is famous, and there are not many people who can see it.

Li Mu picked up the chopsticks, pointed to an object on the plate, and said: "This thing, called the 'leek box', is made of leeks and eggs as filling, rolled dough wrapped together, made into a crescent shape, and then fried in oil." It's very tasty, you come and taste it. ”

Li Mu put a leek box in the dish for Wang Pu, Wang Pu looked at the leek box in front of him, he had never seen this kind of food, it smelled very fragrant, and there was a smell of butter, he couldn't help but move his index finger, but before eating, he didn't forget to pat a sycophant: "Hou Ye is extraordinary, and his gestures are vividly reflected." Let's just say that this is eating, now that it is winter, the green vegetables are almost extinct, and they are very expensive, and I am afraid that they can only eat leeks in the Zhuluhou Mansion. Moreover, mixing leeks and eggs to make stuffing, and then frying them in oil, no one has ever thought of this way of eating, only Hou Ye has such an ingenious mind......"

He tasted it and praised it again: "Fragrant, it tastes extremely fragrant, could it be fried in butter?" ”

Li Mu said: "Brother Wang is really a gourmet, and he is butter. But it wasn't the cow I slaughtered, that's the case, and the cow raised by a tenant of Su Guogong was not so careless and broke his leg. You know, this cow is the life of the farmer. The cow broke its leg and won't be able to farm next year. There are old and young people in this farmer's household, and they all have the heart to die. Su Guogong was kind-hearted, and when he heard about this, he gave him a sum of money and asked him to buy another cow to live. The cow with a broken leg had no choice but to slaughter it. Aren't I sick, so I'll send some here, but I don't like beef, so it's not interesting......"

Wang Pu grinned, but thought in his heart, I believe you are a big fool!

He knows what's going on with this cow, and of course he won't feel uncomfortable. He didn't forget that he came to Li Mu's mansion today to ask for something.

After eating two leek boxes, Wang Pu cleared his throat and said slowly: "Master Hou, I don't hide it, I came to disturb today because I want to trouble Master Hou." ”

When Li Mu heard this, he hurriedly put his hand on his forehead and said, "Brother Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this brain disease is not yet healed, and my body is weak, so I can't do it." Otherwise, I'll be better in a few days, and I'll talk about it later? ”

Wang Pu pursed his lips and said, "Master Hou, I chatted with my brother yesterday...... When it comes to this company, my brother means...... In this business, there must be a principal, especially for such a large business, without a decision-maker, there will definitely be problems. In the matter of doing business, who in the world dares to compare with Hou Ye? Therefore, my brother intends to put the matter of Datang Mining in the hands of Hou Ye, I don't know that Hou Ye-"

"How does this work!" Li Mu was 'shocked' and said: "The company has a company system, and the big guys gathered together that day, didn't you already say it?" How many shares, how many words to say, who has more shares, who has the final say. I Li Mu doesn't have any shares, how can I be the master of the Taiyuan Wang family? ”

"Master Hou!" Wang Pu's tone became more and more sincere, and said: "My brother doesn't want to change the system, my brother just wants to hand over the power of the Taiyuan Wang family to the Hou Ye to exercise on his behalf." Of course, you can't let Hou Ye bother in vain...... What my brother means is, more or less, to show it. ”

Li Mu was displeased, frowned, and said: "Wang Shizhong is insulting me, am I, Li Mu, a person who is poor in money?" If I talk like that, I can't do it! ”

Wang Pu really has no tricks, no matter what, this is a piece of hob meat! There was really no way, Wang Pu sighed and said, "That's good, Hou Ye said, Hou Ye said that, that's how it is." ”

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Mu stretched out his arm to put his arm on Wang Pu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, in fact, you and Wang Shizhong have misunderstood what I mean. You all think I want to do what I want, but I don't. If there is, it is just a matter of 'mutual respect' and 'mutual understanding'. Why do you think I'm going to the trouble of organizing a thankless company? Isn't it for the sake of being in front of His Majesty? Why don't I take a stake myself? It's not to avoid suspicion! Of course, the most important thing is that I am not short of money, and I don't like to partner with others-"

Wang Pu listened honestly, and said secretly in his heart, let you say, who makes you make money, everything you say is reasonable, and I will listen to everything you say.

"Let's not talk about what I want, first talk about the problems you encountered, I'll see if I can solve them, and then we'll talk about other things."

Finally waited for this sentence!

Wang Pu sighed, worried that Li Mu would regret it, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, the current situation is like this. The coal was dug out, and the process was smooth, but it was difficult to transport it to Chang'an. One is that the car is not good and cannot withstand the weight of coal. Moreover, the road is not good, the road is rugged, the coal truck is full of ravines, the solid roadbed is better, some places, you can't go at all, a trip to the coal down, basically not profitable, how is this good! ”

Li Mu looked like he couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "What should I do, that's it?" It's easy to do! ”

"Easy to do?" Wang Pu thought that something was wrong with his ears, and said continuously: "How to do it, please show it to Master Hou!" ”

"The car can't work, build the car! The road is not good, build the road! ”

"......" Wang Pu was stunned, this answer sounds like that, but when you think about it, it's like a fart! Who doesn't know that cars can't be built and roads can't be built, the key question is, who will pay for the money! Originally, it would not be profitable to transport coal in this way, and if you invest money to build cars and roads, are you all fools as a shareholder of Datang Mining?

Seeing Wang Pu stunned, Li Mu laughed and said, "I know what you're thinking, who will pay for the money!" Li Mu patted his chest and said, "I'll come—"

Wang Pu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master Hou!" ”

"-Find a way!"

Panting, Wang Pu's expression suddenly froze, and he smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, you are really shaking me, I thought you were going to pay for the road repair." ”

Li Mu sighed: "I think, it's not that I don't have money, but I'm afraid that if I do this, I will find someone to hate!" ”

Wang Puqi said: "Building a road is a good deed, it's too late to be grateful to Dade, why is it hated?" ”

Li Mu lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "There are huge profits here-" He glanced left and right, and his voice was lower: "I have never mentioned this matter, we have a good relationship, I will reveal a little bit to you first." ”

Wang Pu nodded violently and said, "Master Hou, speak quickly!" ”

"You know, now the treasury is empty, and there is no money to build roads. Your Majesty was worried about this, and ...... a few days ago Just before I fell ill, His Majesty summoned me again. He said to me, Li Mu, you always have some unexpected ideas. Now that the treasury is empty, what can you do if you want to build roads? ”

Wang Pu was stunned and said, "Is there any way?" ”

Li Mu spread his hands: "How can I do it, the treasury has no money, is it possible that I can conjure up money?" ”

Wang Pu was suddenly disappointed: "Then what else ...... talking about?"

"Don't worry." Li Mu continued to mysteriously and secretly: "Otherwise, people are forced out." His Majesty asked me, and I can't say I don't know. I just thought, I thought, suddenly! Li Mu increased his volume, which frightened Wang Pu: "I was stunned to come up with a brilliant good idea!" ”

Wang Pu hurriedly said: "Master Hou, you said it, but you can kill me in a hurry!" ”

"Let me ask you, the court has no money, who has money?"

Wang Pu was stunned and said: "Who can be richer than the imperial court?" I—I don't know. ”

"Me!" Li Mu pointed at himself, and then pointed at Wang Pu: "You, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Qinghe, the big families in various places, everyone is rich!" ”

Wang Pu almost didn't turn himself to death with a big white eye, and co-authored it for a long time, or let us take the money - isn't this a fool of a stupid boy? Wang Pu suddenly felt that he had been tricked, and said angrily: "Master Hou, don't play tricks on me." Even if we have money, haven't we all been looted by you, and now there is still money. ”

Li Mulao's face turned red, cleared his throat, and said, "There is no money, isn't there still food!" ”

"You want food, too?" Wang Pu didn't expect Li Mu's face to be so thick-skinned, and said helplessly: "The money is all for you, and you still have the idea of beating us up, aren't you just trying to pry Your Majesty to rob us......

"Neither nor not!" Li Mu waved his hand again and again and said, "Rob? What is robbery? snatched it, and didn't return it, this is called robbery. However, the solution I came up with is definitely not a robbery, this is a business! ”

"I didn't hear that."

"Here's how this works, I'll explain it to you, and you'll understand." Li Mu snapped his fingers, and Wei Yingluo came up and removed the scraps on the table. Li Mu instructed her to bring up the pen and paper, Wei Yingluo helped Li Mu spread out a piece of rice paper, Wang Pu helped grind the ink, Li Mu dipped in some ink and drew a path on the paper. At both ends of the road, the appearance of a city gate was drawn, the word Chang'an was written on the left, and the word Shuozhou was written on the right.

"If you look at this picture, let's say that the road I drew is the road between Chang'an and Shuozhou. Now the roads are muddy and need to be repaired. Saying that, Li Mu divided the road into three sections, and said: "A section of the Taiyuan Wang family, a section of the Qinghe Cui family, and a section of the Zhao County Li family, you each built the road——"

"No money, Master Hou!"

"You have food! Isn't food just money? ”

"Master Hou, we don't make money now, and then we use money to build roads, this is ......"

"I'm not finished, what's the hurry!" Li Mu 'brushed and brushed', and dropped a few more strokes, and said: "The road is repaired by you with grain, so naturally you can't make you lose money." Suppose you spend 100,000 yuan to build a road, and you set up a card on this road, and whoever walks from this road will have to pay. You spend 100,000 guan to cultivate, let you collect 200,000 guan and go, double the income, and you are not satisfied? In this world's trading, how can anyone double the money! ”

Wang Pu was stunned, saying this, it's really cost-effective!

Wait a minute!

Wang Pu was already delusional of being fooled, and he always felt that Li Mu couldn't let others take advantage, there must be a pit in it. He stared at the picture for a long time, and said, "Master Hou! I have a question, let's take out 100,000 guan to build roads, how many teenagers can earn back 200,000 guan? ”

"What's the matter...... Seven or eight years? ”

"Seven or eight years?" Wang Pu was so angry that he almost turned his back on him, and said, "Master Hou, aren't you bluffing, seven or eight years...... That's too long. ”

"What's wrong...... Yo yo yo, you look very dissatisfied. Li Mu's face was full of disbelief, and said, "You guys are stupid about me, aren't you?" I'm telling you, if I can come up with this method, it must be feasible. For a big family like your Taiyuan Wang family, the grain hoards at home are going to be moldy, right? Is it useful for you to keep it? Take it out and sell it? Who buys? Those who don't have money can't afford it, and those who have money have food like you, and people don't need it. If you take out too much, the price of food on the market will fall, and you will be the one who suffers! ”

"But if you take it out and build roads, it's different. Between Chang'an and Shuozhou, how many homeless people can't eat? Do you need to give money? Give you a bite to eat, and they'll come and work for you. When the road is finished, all you have out of it is just waiting for moldy grain. What did you get in exchange? In the future, in five years, seven years, or even ten years, as long as the carriages and horses that take this road will have to pay you. You are exchanging the moldy grain for money in this way! And it's a double, triple spread! It's just that the money is collected late, but the money is guaranteed! Can the world be chaotic in five years and ten years? Can't you? As long as the world is not chaotic, there will be people on the road, and if someone walks, you will earn money every day! Isn't that a good thing? ”

Wang Pu was a little confused, he couldn't keep up with Li Mu's thinking, and he didn't dare to speak until he fully understood.

Li Mu changed his tone again, and said bitterly: "Brother Wang, you are from a thousand-year-old family like the Taiyuan Wang family, and you should know better than me the gist of making the family extend." Isn't it better to make quick money than to make quick money? Your generation, there are many talents, Taiyuan Wang is safe, if the next generation is not angry? What if he loses? There is such a trickle of long-term income, he can't lose even if he wants to lose, how good! Believe it or not, when I finalize this matter with Your Majesty, the news will be released, and you Taiyuan Wang will not be able to grab it if you want to! Is there less of a gate valve family with food in the world? ”
