Chapter 24: Two Things
That night, Li Mu and Bai's father and son rested in the front yard, the next day, Bai Nao'er got up early, said to Li Mu, and instructed Bai Gensheng a few words, sternly rejected Bai Gensheng's idea of sending him home first and then returning to Dingxiang, and drove the ox cart back to Mayi alone. He made an agreement with Li Mu that it would be three days at least or five days at most, and after he sold the wine shop in Mayi, he would pack up his things and move his family over. Li Mu also promised him that he would buy the shop in the next few days and definitely find a good location.
Bidding farewell to Bai Hao'er, Bai Qiaoqiao also got up, Li Mu went into the room with her to cook, and told her about yesterday's events. Hearing that Li Mu said that he actually promised to buy a new shop for Bai Hao'er, Bai Qiaoqiao was anxious and said, "Lang Jun, what are you doing!" Yesterday, my mother was already angry, and you spent money to buy a shop for my father, what should my mother do if she knows about me, I can't do it. ”
Of course, Li Mu would not say that Li Siwen had handed over the accounts of the South Street shop to him, and he didn't have to spend a penny, and he could pick whichever he wanted. This is a good time to behave, Li Mu gently pulled Bai Qiaoqiao into his arms, sighed deliberately, and said helplessly: "I didn't do this for your father, I did it for you." Whoever makes me like you, I am willing to do anything for you. In front of my mother, of course, I can't say that I spend money, just say that your father spends his own money, and I just help him pull a line. I spent the money in private, and my mother didn't know. Wouldn't that be enough? ”
Bai Qiaoqiao was moved, but she felt that she couldn't help it, and said: "This is too wronged for you, my father has not taken advantage of it enough in his life, why, Lang Jun, it's all my fault, I'm sorry for you." ”
Li Mu smiled: "What else can he rely on, just because he gave birth to such a beautiful girl!" Okay, the matter is decided, don't always talk about it, in case you miss it, it's hard to explain it to your mother. Didn't you decide to open a wine shop with your father, he is the shopkeeper, you go to take care of the accounts, be careful and meticulous, don't let him do anything, you Langjun and I have no money to lose. ”
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded heavily and said, "Lang Jun, my father can't hide the matter of the wine shop from me, don't worry, he doesn't want to take a penny more than the monthly case." ”
Li Mu pinched her face and said, "It's decided, you cook, wait for your mother to get up, you can eat together, I will take Gensheng to Yamen, and we will eat at the construction site later." ”
In the past few days, Li Mu has often been away from home for breakfast, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't say much, glanced at Bai Gensheng washing his face in the yard, and tiptoed to give Li Mu a fragrant kiss. These days sneakily, the two have kissed many times, for this kind of blushing and heartbeat intimacy, Bai Qiaoqiao is actually shy, but Li Mu likes it, so she endured shyness to accompany him.
A fragrant kiss made Li Mu feel good, came out of the room, shouted loudly, Bai Gensheng hurriedly followed, went out and rode a horse, led by Bai Gensheng, and the two came to the yamen together.
Li Siwen has already gotten up, since he became the county commander, Master Li's small problems have changed a lot, and he gets up earlier than Li Mudu every day, as if his energy is inexhaustible. According to Li Mu's suggestion, every morning, the 'Big Three' of Dingxiang City will hold a meeting in the Yamen to make a brief arrangement for the day's affairs, and if there is anything urgent, special arrangements will be made to do it. After a few days of routine, it worked very well, so it became a routine.
When Li Mu arrived, Wang Hu also arrived, and the two of them were on their feet. Li Mu told Wang Hu about Bai Gensheng, Wang Hu happily agreed, let Bai Gensheng wait at the door, and take him away directly when he returned to the construction site for a while, and introduce him to other catchers. Now there are more and more people on the construction site, and there are not enough people patrolling, and they are about to recruit people, not to mention that Li Mu arranges one, even five or ten, and it is no problem.
The two of them entered the lobby side by side, saw that Li Siwen was looking at something, and heard footsteps, Li Siwen looked up and said, "Come and see, I just sent the official document." ”
Li Mu and Wang Hu came up to take a look, and Li Siwen said on the side: "Two things, the battle at the front is nearing the end, and Dingxiang no longer needs to be used as a logistics base camp. Ay! Now the construction site of the city wall is in full swing, and there is not enough manpower, where can the people do this? ”
"Also," Li Siwen pointed to the back of the official document and said, "Let's accept the displaced people and settle them on the spot...... Everywhere you use people, this is not to catch ducks on the shelves! ”
Obedient and listening, Li Siwen said this, and Li Mu understood in his heart. He must have felt that these things were too cumbersome to pile up, and he didn't want to do them, or he was too lazy to do them, so he threw out a conversation and waited for someone else to pick it up. There were only three people present, Wang Hu was expressionless, and he looked like he had nothing to do with me, so who else could answer this, Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Lord County Commander, leave these two things to me, you just take care of the stall at the city wall construction site." ”
"Good brother!" Li Siwen waited for this sentence, patted Li Mu's shoulder heavily, and praised: "I really didn't misunderstand you, Yi Bo Yuntian Li Dalang, anxious about what people are anxious about, think about what people think, this is the big husband!" Saying that, he derogated Wang Hu and said: "Look at this person again, stupid and coarse, he can't beat a fart with a stick, and I hope he can't do anything!" ”
Wang Hu glanced at him and said, "Childe, I am a rough man, I can kill the enemy on the battlefield and conquer the city, and I can't do other things if I want to help, so it's better not to get involved." ”
Li Siwen turned a deaf ear, looked at Li Mu and asked, "What does the virtuous brother need, although you open your mouth, but you have orders, don't dare to disobey!" ”
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "The matter of arranging the return of wounded soldiers and logistics divisions does not require any cooperation, I can find a few people to do it." However, for this matter of resettlement of displaced people, the county order needs to write a notice in his own handwriting, and then let Brother Wang post it everywhere, and when the displaced people come, I will be responsible for settling down, and the county order will also come forward to appease and give grace, so that they can complement each other. In addition, with the inflow of population, the Yamen will definitely not be able to catch quickly, and we are a border city, so we must also have a certain defense force, so I suggest writing another notice to recruit some soldiers in case of emergency. ”
"Good strategy!" As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Li Siwen immediately glared and praised: "Good strategy!" Li Muxian's brother is both civil and military, and my generation is beyond reach! ”
After getting along for a long time, Li Mu has become more or less accustomed to Li Siwen's personality, but he is still a little embarrassed to hear him tout so bluntly. This guy is also a talent, and he doesn't have much ability, but he is self-aware, and he doesn't do things that he thinks he can't do. Instead, he went to find someone who could do it, as long as it was a capable person, he respected it very much. When I ask you for help, I can praise you to the limitless, whether there is heaven or earth, as if in his eyes you are the biggest talent in the world, whether he is sincere or not, it can always make people happy.
