Li Mu's words made Shopkeeper Sun and others feel ashamed and indignant. But what can be done? That's just the way it is. If it's other goods, maybe they still have the heart to fight, but food. As Li Mu said, it is impossible for them to win.

Li Mu's wine is well-known all over the world. What I didn't say was good. There are so many wines in the world, but the wine in his winery is strong and clear. Other people's wine, just can't do it, no one can do it.

Li Mu moved from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the winery did not produce for a long time. Directly led to the price of the limited batch of liquor on the market, which was originally ten times a jar, and now there are fifty prices.

With such a price difference, how expensive raw materials can he not afford?

I can't play anymore.

The grain merchants only promised and apologized. Li Mu also stopped in moderation and did not humiliate again. Although he still wants to play the role of 'Hua Qiang' brother for a while, after all, he is the Hou Ye, and he still has to hold his own identity.

Now that the winners and losers are divided, the matter must also be settled. The grain merchants originally thought that they would have to be knocked hard by Li Mu this time, and they were ready to cut the meat, but they didn't expect Li Mu to go under the knife.

"Just be convinced, since you are convinced, then let's expose this matter." Li Mu looked at Ma Zhou and ordered, "Since they have served, the price of hand food has risen." It's still 300 wen a bucket, tell the left-behind people in each village, and when we have enough food for us, we have to give them some way to live. Li Mu looked at Shopkeeper Sun and the others, and said, "Are you sure you won't rob it?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Shopkeeper Sun and the others shook their heads like rattles, and further stated: "Lord Hou is a lot, magnanimous and benevolent, and we are all convinced." It's better than this, how much grain does Hou Ye need, just need to inform him, I will collect the grain and send it to Hou Ye to the warehouse, the price will only be lower than three hundred Wen......" When the shopkeeper Sun spoke, he carefully aimed at Li Mu's expression, and when he saw him frowning, he hurriedly changed his words: "I gave it to Hou Ye, and the right should be a little bit of my heart!" ”

The businessmen scolded, shopkeeper Sun, you old boy is immoral, you want to pat yourself on the back, why do you bring us? You know how much food he wants, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, you will give it, it is really generous to others, standing and talking does not hurt your back!

Although they slandered in their hearts, they couldn't help it, they and Shopkeeper Sun were grasshoppers on the same rope, one made a statement, and the others all had to keep up, and they couldn't be withdrawn.

"Give it to me?" Li Mu's face was full of disdain, and he said, "Shopkeeper Sun, are you showing off your wealth with me?" Can I afford to open a winery, but I can't afford to buy food? Who can't afford it? The two jujubes, you want Ben Hou to take your love? What about dreaming? Put away your fancy intestines, don't think so much, and honestly do your own business, as long as you don't move your mind, things can't find your head. ”

Li Mu looked at everyone again and said, "You go back separately, my people have collected all the grain and the grain needed by the winery, and left it for you." But there is something to say ahead, you can't be compensated for the matter of collecting grain, but you don't want to harm the people, you must give the price you should give, with a little conscience, otherwise don't blame Benhou for not being emotional. ”

Everyone was submissive and hurried.

Li Mu looked at the appearance of these people, and suddenly felt a little bored, waved his hand, as if chasing flies, and turned back to the back house.

Ma Zhou was not surprised at all when he saw Li Mu's appearance, but he frightened Shopkeeper Sun and the others, and hurriedly put the horse in the middle, and asked carefully: "Changshi, did I say something wrong again?" Why did Hou Ye throw his sleeves and leave? ”

"I didn't say anything wrong, Hou Ye is like this. What he means is, that's all it takes, there's nothing left to say, just get out. ”

Shopkeeper Sun was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Is this really the case?" Long history may be determined? ”

Ma Zhouxin said why he didn't see that he was still a broken mouth, and said angrily: "The official asked, and the Hou Ye scolded me like this!" Let's go, what to do, what to do! ”

……

Back house.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, a table, a chair, a person, a pot of wine. Li Mu poured himself a drink, looking at the bright moon from afar, and seemed to have infinite melancholy.

Zhang Tianai had just come back, looking at Li Mu's dead appearance, he didn't know what was going on, so he leaned next to Jin Chen, who was secretly peeping on the side, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"The husband said he was anxious," Jin Chen pursed his lips, and seemed to be a little aggrieved: "I asked him why he was anxious, but he didn't make it clear, and he didn't let him accompany him, and he sat for half an hour." ”

"I don't know what he's thinking, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"I've got it all for you, come with me-"

As the two daughters drifted away, Li Mu glanced in the direction where they were leaving, and then focused his gaze on the wine cup in his hand.

He was indeed anxious.

As Qiaoqiao's due date approached, Li Mu felt more and more anxious. A question lingered in my mind and lingered: "Two lives, Li Mu, are you ready to be a father?" ”

What kind of father should I be? He didn't know. He has never played the role of a father in his life. In his previous life, there was an old dean, but the age of the old dean was more like a grandfather than a father. The role of father has been missing throughout his life.

He thought back to what he had done when he came into this world, and nothing seemed to have anything to do with his father. Although they are basically taking advantage, there is nothing to brag about and make their son proud.

Others' respect for themselves is either related to interests, or because they are afraid, and they respect themselves from the bottom of their hearts, that is, they are a few stupid brothers.

Li Mu finally understood why the world was seeking fame. Sometimes, fame does have its uses. Let's say you can let your son brag about it.

But now I don't seem to have a good reputation. So, the question arises, what should be done to become a person who is admired by the Quartet? I don't have a reputation anymore, how can I save it?

"Alas......" Mu Li sighed, unable to think of a way.

He really couldn't think of a way, and he suddenly found that the most difficult thing in this world is to make others respect you. You can be powerful and overwhelm people with power, or you can have a lot of money and use money to smash people. But you can't force someone to respect you from the bottom of their hearts, which is something that money and power can't do.

There are many people in the world who deceive the world and steal fame, but it is undeniable that this is also a technical job, and ordinary people really can't do it. V3 Academy

"Big brother, you don't call me when you drink?" Li Siwen's voice came from behind him, Li Mu looked back and said, "Your sister-in-law called you over?" ”

"I can't hide anything from my eldest brother." Li Siwen also did not deny that it was true that he should not be here at this time. Chidao is almost repaired to Sanmenxia, and he should be supervising the construction site at this time.

"Now that you're back, sit down." Li Mu pointed to the opposite side, and Li Siwen sat down unceremoniously. Without his dishes and chopsticks, he didn't call anyone to take them, and he rolled his arms and sleeves to get started directly: "Big brother, you really have a way, and the fishy pork can also make you not fishy." The taste of this elbow is better than that of a lamb's knuckle. ”

"The small skill of carving insects is not enough to worry about-" Li Mu sighed: "Can this make people respect us?" ”

"Respect?" Li Siwen was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Big brother, what is respect?" Why should we be respected? ”

"That's ......" Li Mu wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he was playing the piano to the cow. This kid probably hasn't thought about this problem in his life, after all, it's his brother, Li Mu still gave a good and understandable example: "It's like when you see General Li Jing, don't you respect him?" ”

"Of course, how powerful General Li Jing is." Li Siwen said excitedly: "Legend has it that he has never lost a battle!" ”

"Yes, your brother and I have never lost a battle, why is no one respected?"

"Uh......" Li Siwen didn't know how to answer, but he thought in his heart, big brother, this doesn't seem to be comparable, right?

"It's like those Confucian scholars of the scholar clan, who have a lot of respect for Kong Yingda. Your eldest brother and I are unparalleled in poetry and literature, why do they not respect me at all, but make a fuss and insult me in private? insulted me, and didn't dare to write my real name, replacing it with 'thief' and 'someone', thinking that Lao Tzu didn't know! ”

Li Mu was indignant and drank a glass of wine before suppressing the fire.

"Hmm-" As soon as Li Mu said this, Li Siwen also thought about it seriously, yes, it was also a war, and the eldest brother didn't lose, why didn't anyone respect him? is also a scholar, and the eldest brother is the top of the list, why do those scholars still scold him?

"Huh?" Li Siwen's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Big brother, I thought of it!" ”

"What?"

"You see I'm right." Li Siwen analyzed seriously: "Whether it is General Li Jing or Kong Sacrificial Wine, the people who respect them are all lined up from generation to generation. ”

"From generation to generation?" Li Mu didn't understand, and said, "Let's be clear, what do you mean from generation to generation?" ”

"Take General Li Jing as an example, my father, he admires General Li Jing very much, and often says that he is not as good as General Li Jing, saying that he uses soldiers like a god. I have heard him say since I was a child, and when I was exposed to it, I would feel that General Li Jing was very powerful, and when I grew up, I saw General Li Jing's ability, and suddenly felt that what my father said was true, and General Li Jing was very powerful. ”

"Well...... Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It makes sense." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Li Siwen analyzed even harder: "Let's talk about the Confucian Bar, he is a descendant of Confucius Sheng." This one alone is enough to make the scholar respect, right? And his knowledge, uh, although it is certainly not as good as the eldest brother, but it is also remarkable, most of the scholars are not as good as him, and they are still younger than him, maybe their teachers' teachers are all disciples of Confucius Wine, of course they have to respect him. ”

"On the other hand, big brother, you are about the same age as them, or even younger than them. They have studied for a lifetime, but they are not as good as the eldest brother for a day, and they are so ashamed and angry that they are so ashamed that they are going to die of shame, how can they respect you? ”

"Makes sense!" Li Siwen's analysis really impressed Li Mu, the stupid brother has two moments, and he can really see something. Li Mu poured a glass of wine and waited for it, and asked, "Then what do you think I should do to be like them?" ”

"I'll moisten my throat first," Li Siwen drank the wine poured by Li Mu and continued to analyze: "General Li Jing is not very easy to learn, he fought one battle after another, and now there are not so many battles to fight, even if there is, most of them will not be able to take our brother's turn, and it is not very reliable to learn from him." But it doesn't matter, the eldest brother can learn the Confucian sacrifice wine. ”

"Learn from him?" Li Mu instinctively said: "No, I can't learn that rotten Confucian." ”

"It's not for the eldest brother to learn from his sour rot, to learn from him to accept apprentices." Li Siwen came up with an idea: "The eldest brother can accept a few powerful apprentices, and then let the apprentices accept apprentices again, and the apprentices accept apprentices again, and if you accept them for several generations, you will become the master and the ancestor, who dares not respect the master?" I'm not afraid of heaven and earth! ”

"This," Li Mu was a little moved, he had already accepted a few apprentices, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't take it seriously, after Li Siwen said this, it seems that this apprentice is still a little valuable.

But what do I teach them? What do they learn from me? ”

"Big brother has so many skills, are you afraid that you won't have anything to teach?" Li Siwen felt that Li Mu was joking, and counted him with his fingers: "Big brother, you can be a carpenter, a bricklayer, a blacksmith, a stonemason, a mechanic, a businessman, an armor, a winemaker, a poet and a top performer, you can teach too many things, how can you say that there is nothing to teach?" Unless you don't want to teach others. ”

"That's not ......" Li Mu said secretly in his heart, good brother, you don't know the difficulties of the eldest brother. What kind of carpenter, blacksmith or something, is that what I will? Is the system going to be good, how can I teach this thing? The system can't be copied, it can be copied, and I can't copy it, the church apprentices starved to death Master, and I can't mix up a system with one person? As for those poems, I also memorize them, with one less one, people want to ask me how to compose poems, how to rhyme, how can I rhyme?

"If you don't, it's done!" Li Siwen patted his head, remembered something, and shouted: "Big brother, I remember that you didn't mention it, is your faction called the Loose Faction?" Tomorrow, let's recruit disciples, how about building a school? ”

"Okay, don't talk to me about it, I'll think about it again, I have to think about it." Although Li Siwen's idea is good, it must be carefully implemented in practice. The most important thing is that Li Mu has to solve the problem of 'what to teach'. If it is something produced by the system and cannot teach others, he can only think of something else to teach. What can be taught in the future generations, can't you really become a teacher and give them compulsory education again, right?

If that's the case, isn't it a big step?

I'll have to think about it again.

Li Mu picked up the wine jug and wanted to pour a glass of wine to drink, but found that there was no wine in the jug, and then looked at Li Siwen, his little face was red and he was already drunk, so he sighed helplessly, and asked someone to set him up and send him back to his room to rest.

After covering Li Siwen with the quilt and ordering someone to take care of him, Li Mu went back to the backyard. Zhang Tianai had already finished eating and washing up at this time. Raising his eyebrows at him, Li Mu followed honestly.

I forgot that this is the third year of junior high school, and it's my turn to serve her.

Sleepless nights.
