Cheng Yanjin was unconvinced and said: "Virtuous nephew, I can't figure it out, why do you have to divide the money that you can earn yourself?" ”

Li Mu didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said, "Uncle, then you tell me, why should I tell you about the idea of the horse farm?" ”

“……”

Seeing that Cheng couldn't answer, Li Mu sighed and said, "Uncle, the most important thing in doing business is not to make money, the most important thing is to grasp the 'right to speak'." As long as you have the right to speak, when you want to make money, the money will naturally come. If you are the only one doing an industry, then everyone who wants to enter this industry is your enemy. Even if it's Your Majesty, he can't put all the money into his own pockets, right? If we want Marseille to become a long-term business, the first thing we should think about is not the immediate benefits, but the long-term vision, which is like baking a pie, we have to make the pie bigger......"

Cheng Yanjin understood a little and said, "Then we will eat the biggest piece!" ”

Li Mu corrected: "No, we have to be the ones who divide the bread. If you want to eat bigger, you can eat bigger, and if you want to eat smaller, you can get it? ”

Cheng Yanjin still didn't understand it, and Li Mu didn't explain anymore. It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, just do it according to his arrangement, as for the person who divides the bread, it can only be himself.

Li Mu asked Cheng Qian to bring a pen and paper, and instructed: "After this Marseille is over, we must release the news and reveal how much the net profit of these two Marseilles will be revealed, as well as the things that Your Majesty has a part in, but don't reveal it in too much detail, it is best to make people wonder through." The key point is that the Cheng family intends to cooperate with others, and as for how to divide the account, don't mention a word first, let them guess. ”

Li Mu said while remembering Cheng Qian, he glanced at it, the record score was not bad, and said: "Okay, for the time being, let's think about the next step after these things are done." He turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and turned back and said, "The leaflet for Marseille is almost ready, and someone will be sent to my house tomorrow to pick it up." ”

Cheng bit Jin and shouted: "Boy, if you don't come on the day of the game, I'll reserve a seat for you if you come, and if you don't come, I'll give away the ticket!" ”

Li Mutou didn't reply, raised his hand and waved, and said, "You don't need to leave me a ticket, I don't have time!" ”

Cheng Qian asked curiously: "Grandpa, Hou Ye said that there is no time...... What does he do every day, so busy? ”

Cheng Yanjin probably guessed a little, it should be for the opening of the emperor's heaven and earth. When the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped, glared at Cheng Qian, and said, "You should ask?" Lots of nonsense! ”

Cheng Qian hurriedly said: "The little one knows his mistakes, but the little one is too talkative." ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at the paper in Cheng Qian's hand and said, "What do you do, do you remember everything?" ”

"I remember it all."

Cheng Yanjin took a deep breath and said, "It's still not good, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders." Isn't it Luoyang, don't look for others, send someone to bring a message to your younger siblings, and say that Mrs. misses her and asks her to stay at home for two more days. ”

"The small ones will be arranged."

……

"Come on, come on, Si'er, don't be polite, our Hou Mansion has enough to eat and drink, Hou Ye never stingy with food, three meals a day, every day at noon, there is meat to eat, look at the patches on your clothes, rarely eat meat, right? Come, uncle, I'll give you this ...... too."

Zhao Youcai said, and gave a few pieces of meat in the bowl to Li Tai.

When it was time to have lunch at noon, on weekdays, Zhao Youcai also ate with other people in the house. But today there was more Li Tai, so he told the chef, asked for an extra pair of chopsticks, served lunch, and took it to the concierge to share with Li Tai.

Li Tai held a large bowl similar to his face, looking at the 'gnocchi' and mutton in the bowl, and his feelings were very complicated. Prince, when has he ever eaten such coarse food. But in the face of Zhao Youcai's enthusiasm, he really couldn't say the words 'I don't want to eat'. Moreover, he did not forget that he was playing a poor student at this time. Just imagine, as a poor student, how could you not want to eat mutton when you saw it?

But do you really want to eat it?

Li Tai took a deep breath, leaned closer to the bowl and sniffed, the heat smoked his eyes, and his small eyes squeezed, flashing with tears.

"Oh, crying, eating! Our Hou Mansion is this condition, there is still a kitchen in the back, today I stewed the whole sheep, the big one is not there, the big guy can't eat it, if you don't have enough to eat, wait for the uncle to give it to you. ”

Li Taixin said, uncle, you are really good eyesight, how can you see that I am moved to cry, I am obviously smoked by the smell of this mutton!

Zhao Youcai's urging kept ringing in his ears, and Li Tai had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks, open his mouth, and try to take a bite.

"Eat it! Don't be restrained, you are so fat, you must be a favorite food on weekdays, how to eat at home, how to eat here, eat? Zhao Youcai gave him a sample, slurred half a bowl, and motioned to Li Tai not to be polite, and to eat like him. Li Tai was about to cry, he has been ceremonial since he was a child, and he pays attention to eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking, chewing and swallowing slowly. Growing so fat is not because he loves to eat, what can be done to absorb it? In addition, he hardly exercised, so he gained weight.

Letting him eat like Zhao Youcai made him more uncomfortable than killing him. But at this time, he has been forced to this part, unless he wants to give up his identity as a 'poor student', he can only eat.

For the sake of the four algorithms, fight!

Li Tai turned his heart sideways, hugged the bowl and slurped and ate. It's strange to say, the mutton that smelled a little bad just now, and it really doesn't feel obvious when I eat it like this. And I don't know if I'm hungry, but this gnocchi soup tastes very good. After swallowing a few bites, I felt like I couldn't stop.

Zhao Youcai saw that he was eating happily, so he also laughed. At this time, there was a knock at the door, Zhao Youcai didn't dare to slack off, wiped his mouth, got up to open the door. Li Tai also looked up, he thought that Li Mu was back, and he still wanted to apprentice.

The door opened, but it was not Li Mu. Li Tai saw the face of the person who came, and quickly squatted down holding the bowl.

"Li Chunfeng, the autumn official of the Xiaqin Heavenly Prison, has come to meet the Marquis of Zhulu, please let me know."

"It turned out to be Li Qiuguan, who has admired the name for a long time. Hou Ye is not in the mansion now, and if Qiu Guan has something urgent, he can wait in the lobby. ”

"It turns out that I am not ......in the house," Li Chunfeng thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, then I'll bother, and ask the porter to lead the way." ”

"Li Qiuguan, please," Zhao Youcai let Li Chunfeng in, closed the door, and led him to the lobby, Li Tai listened to the footsteps and walked away, then he stood up, his feet and neck were numb, and he barely stood firm with his back against the wall.

At this time, a large bowl of pimple soup had been eaten by him, Li Tai put the bowl down, moved his ankles, and secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous. I should have thought of it a long time ago, if I unraveled Baiji and asked such a big thing, Li Chunfeng would definitely come to the door to ask for advice. Fortunately, it was not discovered, otherwise the prince pretended to be a poor man, and if it was spread out, it would really be a loss of royal face.

Don't stay any longer today, come back tomorrow! Li Tai made up his mind and wanted to slip away. But as soon as he walked to the door, he remembered that Zhao Youcai treated him so well, and felt that if he left like this, he seemed to be a little ashamed of him. After hesitating for a moment, Li Tai took out a purse from his arms, took out two gold leaves from it, and put them on the table. Although he is a fat man, he is not a fool who has no knowledge, and he still knows that when he goes out, he has to carry money with him. But he didn't have much money to spend, and the silver and copper coins he carried were too heavy, so he brought only ten gold leaves, and each piece weighed about a penny, which was equivalent to the value of the usual money.

After eating a bowl of pimple soup, the reward of two yuan is really a lot.

After arranging, Li Tai put away his purse, retreated from the door of the open room, and ran to the gate with his little short legs.

Just as he was about to pull the bolt open, he suddenly heard the neighing of horses at the door. Li Tai was shocked, and before he could react, he heard someone shouting: "Old man Zhao, open the door, Master Hou is back!" ”

The Hou of the Chase is back!

Li Tai was overjoyed, and quickly pulled out the deadbolt and opened the door.

"You're the Marquis of the Chase Deer?" Li Tai looked at Li Chongyi, who was like a hill on the horse, and said excitedly. At first, the sound of the words was quite exciting, but after seeing it clearly, the next few words were a little empty. It was the first time Li Tai had seen such a strong person, and he himself was fat enough. But in front of Li Chongyi, he immediately looked much slimmer. Especially Li Chongyi still looked down at him on the horse, and a sense of oppression rose up, which made him nervous involuntarily.

Li Mu had just come off the horse, heard Li Tai's voice, came over to look at him, and saw that he was dressed in expensive clothes, but with patches, young age, fat as a ball, and felt that there was something wrong in his heart.

Later generations thought that the Tang Dynasty people were fat because of the relationship between Yang Guifei, and the portraits that were handed down to later generations were also very rich, so they felt that the Tang Dynasty people were very fat. But in fact, fat is beautiful because there are few fat people, and scarcity is expensive. And the portrait is because the people who can pass down the portrait are either rich or expensive, they have the opportunity to get fat, and most of the people, let alone fat, are not skinny, even if they have a good life.

Being fat like Li Tai is obviously not ordinary. It can also be seen from the silk on his body that this kid has a lot of money in his family. But he patched it up like a bell, which showed one thing, either this little fat man was missing a tendon in his head, or he was an otaku who didn't usually go out and walk around. Looking at Li Tai's image, Li Mu is more inclined to the latter.

Li Mu pressed the doubt in his heart and asked: "I am Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, who are you, how can you be in my mansion, Lao Zhao?" ”

"Uncle Zhao has taken someone to the lobby...... Suddenly Li Tai remembered what he was doing, and hurriedly ran back to the porter, took the burden he brought, bowed down and raised his hands above his head, and handed it to Li Mudao: "My name is Li Si'er, I am a poor student who will participate in the imperial examination next year, and I am apprenticed to the mansion today, this is my shackles, and I ask the teacher to accept it, accept me as a disciple, and teach me the four algorithms." In the future, you must not forget the great kindness of the teacher! ”
