Chapter 449: Exchange of Interests

Li Mu boy! You come out! ”

Cheng Biting Jin shouted, the sound vibrated the roof tiles, and the women who chose perfume in the phoenix were taken aback, and there was a bad temper, just about to open their mouths to scold, seeing that it was Cheng Biting Jin, they all closed their mouths, scolding people for a while, Cheng Biting Jin couldn't do anything to them, but with Cheng Biting Jin's character of retribution, the head of their family had a hard time.

Before Li Mu poured dung and became the big devil of Chang'an, the recognized big demon king of Chang'an City was Cheng Biting Jin. His fame is enough to reach the level of a child's cries. For example, Qin Huaidao and Fang Yiai were children, who were never scared by Cheng Yanjin.

In fact, children are not stupid, and few people believe how vicious Cheng Biting Jin is. But until they met Cheng Yanjin - there was no one who didn't believe it, a black-faced man with a beard, a mouthful of big white teeth that contrasted with his face, a grin, a big mouth, as if he could eat people, who could not be afraid?

Li Mu was coaxing Li Zhien to play in the backyard, and when he heard this roar, his hands trembled, and he glanced at Li Zhien helplessly, and said, "My good Zhien, it seems that I have something to do again." ”

"If the master has something to do, he will be busy, so he doesn't need to accompany me."

"Night-" Li Mu raised his eyebrows, took a sip on Li Zhien's face, grabbed the tiger fur and draped it on his body, and came out of the house. As soon as he walked out of the door, suddenly a round unknown object appeared at the door, Li Mu took a step back, only to see that it was Fat Da. Fat Da hugged Li Mu's thigh and didn't let go, and climbed on him, the purpose was very obvious, wanting his father to hug and kiss him and lift him high.

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Good son, you are now in this pile, it is difficult for me to hug your father...... but no matter how it is discussed, Fat Da just wants to hug, Li Mu has no choice but to squat down and pick Fat Da up. It's okay, the internal strength is not refined, the iron is not in vain, there is still the strength of the shoulder, the fat is more than 100 catties, he can barely hold it up but he must not be able to lift it high, Li Mu put the fat on the shoulder, through the front hall, provoked a lot of women's laughter, although Li Mu's strange behavior has been strange, but carrying a "Pixiu" everywhere, who looks not fresh?

Li Mu is so good, he has a big heart, and he doesn't care what other people think.

"Li Mu, you kid hurry up and come out-"

Cheng Yanjin was still shouting, and when he saw Li Mu coming out, he stopped. Li Mu frowned and said, "I said Uncle Cheng, I don't remember owing you money, what are you shouting?" When you're old, you're not afraid of being laughed at? ”

"Who dares to laugh at the old man?" Cheng Biting Jin snorted, grabbed Li Mu's wrist, and the fat on his shoulder almost fell off, and he screamed at Cheng Biting Jin.

Cheng Yanjin said impatiently: "Li Mu, what do you say is bad for you to raise, raising such a waste firewood, except for eating it, I don't see any use for it." It's good if you have a dog, and I can show you your home. ”

Li Mu was immediately displeased, and said, "Uncle Cheng, if you have something to say, why are you scolding my son?" Although Fat Da was picked up by me, it is now my godson, and even if I die in the future, it will also have a family property, but it's not a joke, you scold it is equivalent to scolding me, I'm not happy. ”

"Hey?" Cheng Yanjin's temper also came up, knocked Li Mu's head, and said, "How can you beat me if you are not happy?" ”

"Oops!" Li Mu turned around and walked back, saying, "Asking people to be so angry?" Okay, let's have a fight, I don't care about your polo game! ”

"Don't don't don't ......" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly grabbed Li Mu's arm, took Fat Da over, put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Li Mu, isn't this a joke with you?" You are my nephew, your godson, just like my godson, I can carry it, right? Let it and pee on my head, okay? Hurry up and take a look with me, for this polo game, I have already invested tens of thousands of yuan, if this is not good, my Cheng family will be bankrupt and collapse! ”

"Hehehe......" Li Muxin said, I believe you are a ghost, you bad old man doesn't tell the truth. Although the Cheng family is said to be a noble who only rose after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because Cheng Biting Jin married the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, he received the full support of the Qinghe Cui family in the early stage. He also made great military exploits and became one of the few generals who could be completely assured by Li Shimin. The Cheng family can be said to have straddled the two forces of Xungui and Gate Valve, coupled with Cheng Biting Jin's character of only eating and not vomiting, he has saved a huge family foundation for more than ten years.

In the past, Li Mu didn't know how to be affectionate, but Cheng bit Jin because of his six sons, and wanted to save more family business. It wasn't until he became the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he discovered the true strength of the Cheng family. Don't look at the Cheng family, they are not the main shareholders of Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining, but the Cheng family has their influence in almost all walks of life through various relationships and channels. Moreover, Cheng Yanjin can be described as a business wizard. He was very unique and forward-looking, and he had already judged the prospects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and made preparations before it became a climate.

What Li Mu currently knows is that there are at least three carpenter workshops, and two blacksmith shops are opened by the Cheng family's "holdings", which are specially designed to receive orders from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With these orders alone, the Cheng family has at least a net profit of more than 100,000 yuan a year.

But Cheng Yanjin never mentioned a word, which shows that his mind is by no means as rough as he seems.

The matter of the polo match was agreed to by Li Mu a long time ago, and he did not have a bad relationship with Cheng Yanjin, so he naturally had to take care of it. Jingdongji was next to the racecourse and didn't walk a few steps, but Cheng Yanjin was an anxious man, so he brought the carriage over, let Li Mu get into the car first, and then carried Fat Da on his shoulders, and kept urging the coachman to hurry up.

Li Mu opened the curtain and shouted to Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Qiaoqiao also knew Cheng Yanjin's character, and he didn't care.

Along the way, Li Mu also heard Cheng Yanjin talk about the main things that happened during the reconstruction of the horse farm. He has never been to the racecourse since he told Cheng Yanjin about the polo match, and after listening to Cheng Yanjin, he really became a little interested.

"Now sixteen teams have been organized, and they are basically all funded by nobles or gate valve families. The polo field has been built according to the drawings you designed, and the grandstand has been covered to block the wind in winter and shade in summer......"

After getting out of the carriage, Cheng Jin's mouth still kept chattering. The chattering Li Mu couldn't hear it clearly, but all in all, the central idea was to tell Li Mu that it was all done according to your requirements. In other words, if it doesn't work, you have to be responsible.

How could Li Mu not be able to hear the voiceover, he was angry and funny. He thought to himself, this deal is not mine, you said that I didn't want a share, I just kindly gave you an idea, do you have to take the blame?

However, he didn't bother to care, it's not that he thought he should bite Jin, if it was through such a long period of contact, Li Mu would already know Cheng Yanjin's character.

To put it simply, Cheng Yanjin is a person who is "not bad". He never thought of taking advantage of anyone, and when you can use him, he will not hide, but will take the initiative to stand up. Several times Li Mu caused trouble, and fought with the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng and others, Cheng Yanjin came out to help, he was a character who did not hesitate, and he was an old man of Qin Wangfu. Even if the power is not as good as the eldest grandson Wuji and others, he is not afraid of them, and he is angry, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and the eldest grandson Wuji and others are not in a rut.

Li Mu was not the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time, and he was fledgling, and many times even his stepfather Tang Jian stayed out of the matter, but it was particularly rare for Cheng Yanjin to stand up and say a few words.

Li Mu is not an errand person, so he also remembers, so Cheng Biting Jin is sometimes a little too much, more or less, and he doesn't care much about it.

Cheng Yanjin took Li Mu for a walk around the racecourse, and Li Mu basically didn't find any major problems. The polo match is just an open event on the basis of the racecourse, and there is no need for major adjustments as a whole, and the original Marseille service personnel and rules and regulations are very mature, and there is no need to train from scratch.

"No problem." Standing at the highest point of the stands, overlooking the entire racecourse, Li Mu said to Cheng Yanjin next to him and Cheng Qian who came after hearing the news: "All preparations are already very proper, in fact, you don't need me to come and see, you yourself have the ability to do a good job, there is nothing to change now, just choose the day to open." ”

Cheng Qian heard Li Mu's praise, his face was full of red light, and he said: "It's all Hou Ye's charter that is careful, we can do so well, if there is no Hou Ye's guidance, how can we-"

"Okay, if you talk about it, let's talk less about it and go to work." Li Mu glanced at Cheng Qian and said with a smile.

He admires Cheng Qian very much. In the words of his previous life, he was a very qualified "manager", never stingy when it was time to spend money, and never spent a penny when it was time to help the owner save money.

As far as Li Mu knows, before Cheng Qian was transferred to the racecourse, he was also the big shopkeeper of the Cheng family, and now after starting to run the racecourse, he has gone one step further, as if he is already the most vocal one among all the shopkeepers of the Cheng family. And Cheng Yanjin didn't treat him badly, not only did he give him a mansion, but in terms of usage, he didn't need to be told if it was less than 100 times, he could use it at will.

You must know that Cheng Qian is the identity of a domestic servant, and in this era, a domestic servant is a slave who is slightly better treated. Cheng Yanjin treats Cheng Qian like this, which is already very generous.

Cheng Qian retreated, Li Mu stretched his waist and said, "Uncle Cheng, if there is nothing else, I will go back." By the way, there is something I have to tell Uncle Cheng, I am going to accept a concubine room on the Shangyuan Festival, my concubine room, the status of the family is analogous to Mrs., the relationship between Uncle Cheng and me is needless to say, I have to prepare a generous gift. ”

Cheng Biting Jin laughed and said, "Boy, you don't need to lie to me, I'm afraid that you don't want my courtesy." ”

"Oh?" Li Mu heard what he said, became vigilant, and said, "Uncle Cheng, what does this mean?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Two days ago, you helped your brother propose marriage, and took out 10,000 taels of gold on the spot, and he was rich." ”

"It's just rumors, how can there be so much money." Li Mu waved his hand again and again, but his tone was very immodest, and he almost wrote "Lao Tzu is so rich" on the door of his head.

"There is a lot of trouble in the city, and the beggars on the street know about it, so you don't have to hide it." Cheng Yanjin stared at Li Mu and said, "I heard again that you promised Qin Qiong's old husband to take his son Qin Huaidao as an apprentice, and you also sold Fang Xuanling, who was afraid of his wife's face, and helped him do something?" His second son, who is now with you, is going to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ”

Li Mu probably guessed what he was going to say, and said, "Uncle is really well-informed. ”

"I'm not going around the bend with you!" Cheng Yanjin said: "I have six sons, in addition to the eldest son who can attack the knight, there are five sons whose future is uncertain. My sons, you have also taken care of each other, what is it, I am a father, and I will not say anything. You make a price, what does the old man have to come up with before you can settle them all? ”

"Uncle Cheng, you are ......" Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart, I don't arrange a job, why are you looking for me? Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you are a little too embarrassed, people are showing the face of the boss, that is, placing one, you will open your mouth to five, I really can't arrange it here." ”

"If you can't arrange it, I'll rely on you, anyway, sooner or later, you have to make arrangements." Cheng Biting Jin's scoundrel came up again, and said, "I heard that you are going to open a ring competition and recruit people." If I'm not mistaken, you're going to charge into the brocade guard, right? I asked my son to sign up, but you don't agree, see you in the ring, if you win the competition, what else do you have to say? ”

"Uncle, aren't you cheating? In the ring, the sword has no eyes, although your brothers have the strength to fight, but against the masters on the rivers and lakes, they may not all be able to win, if they are injured and touched, I can't afford to wait. ”

"You have to know that you can't afford it, so you take them." Cheng Biting Jin got rid of his rogue face and said: "The old man is not weaker than others in his life, and I have to have what others have." Either you drive their sons away, or you arrange all my sons, otherwise the old man will have to rely on you even if he puts his old face out. ”

"Alas......" Mu Li sighed, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he clicked his mouth and said, "Uncle Cheng, this is you, if you change anyone, I can't give such a big face." Okay, I agreed to the matter of brother five, but there has to be a condition, and you have to answer me! ”

Seeing that Li Mu was so happy, Cheng Yanjin also patted his chest and said, "What conditions, you say, I don't allow anything!" ”

"Your boss Cheng Chumo has had a few encounters with me, and he is a general! My brother Li Siwen, young Meng Lang, there is one less person around me who can help, if my uncle can answer me, I will go to His Majesty to ask for his will, let Brother Chu Mo go to Dingxiang Zhichong Mansion to be a Guoyi Lieutenant, what does my uncle think? ”

"This ......" Cheng Yanjin heard what Li Mu meant, this was an exchange. I'll help you arrange five sons, and the Cheng family has to be tied to the Li family!
