"But ......" the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something, but suddenly his heart moved, and he stopped in moderation. Li Mu noticed it, but he didn't break it, as if he didn't see it, and continued: "In view of what the Taiyuan Wang family has done recently, I don't plan to deal with it, if my uncle is interested, you can go to Wang Qi to talk about it, but this old thing is very bad, and when my uncle talks about it, I need more eyes." ”

"I know what I know." The eldest grandson Wuji got up to say goodbye, and Li Mu repeatedly kept the meal, so hypocritical. The eldest grandson Wuji was made a little crying and laughing by him, he has lived for more than 30 years, and it is the first time he has seen someone invited so fakely, completely writing 'you don't stay' on the door of his head, which makes people angry and funny, and there is nothing he can do.

Sent away the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Mu changed his clothes, and rushed to Jingdong by carriage, yesterday I heard Li Zhien talk about Wang Ou and Bai Qiaoqiao, Li Mu felt that he needed to investigate, seeing is believing, to see what level it has been.

On the way, Li Mu was thinking about the intention of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In fact, the sentence that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say, Li Mu had already guessed.

Why are these gate valve families rushing to build roads? Wang Jue is right, it's really not about making money. Of course, the original reason was to make money, but now, it is no longer so.

In Li Mu's plan, making money is just an introduction, which plays the role of attracting the king into the urn. The purpose is to let them see the more benefits that road construction can bring, and they have to get involved.

So what are the substantive benefits? In short, influence. Whoever controls the main roads of an area has absolute influence over the area. This is what the gate valve and the lord care about, and it is also their inseparable temptation. The most important thing is that this thing is just like what Eldest Sun Wuji said, if everyone doesn't have it, it's just that. But if someone has it and someone doesn't, then something is going to happen.

Imagine, in the future, the goods of the eldest grandson's family, walking on the road to Taiyuan, will be subject to the inventory and even charging of the Taiyuan Wang family, will the eldest grandson's family still have face? Moreover, the road is taken by everyone, the family is big, who doesn't smuggle something, if this road is surnamed Wang, whose secret can be hidden?

Therefore, if the situation forces it, it must also be involved. Or, you have one way, I have one way, and everyone can use each other. Either you have me, I have you, and no one can say anything.

But looking at the attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji, his '......', Li Mu has already felt it, and the eldest grandson Wuji still wants to take the former, and he has the final say in building a road by himself. But the current situation does not allow it, so the final solution, Li Mu guessed that he would still discuss with Wang Jue, on the bright side, everyone will build a road first, but in fact, this road belongs to the Taiyuan Wang family, and when the road to Longyou is repaired, the two families will repair it together, but in fact, it will belong to the Changsun family, in fact, it is not difficult to operate.

But these are just Li Mu's guesses, and he doesn't care how to do it. His purpose is to have someone build roads. With a road, it can be passed, whose road is it, does it matter?

The next thing for him is to closely follow the footsteps of my emperor and the people, and formulate a set of systems that let these gate lords pinch their noses and recognize them, so that they can be profitable, and they will not be full of money, and it is easy to do, he also had a second-hand car in his previous life, and he didn't know how many times he walked through the toll booth when he went to and from the orphanage, and the rules and regulations were already clear in his heart, whether it was by kilometer or by road section, the specific situation was analyzed on a specific basis, and it was over with it, not much difficult.

And recently he also accepted an apprentice, Li Tai, the king of Yue. Li Mu remembered that Li Tai had compiled the "Chronicles of the Geography" in history, and presumably this guy was very interested in geography, so he handed over this work to him, and asked him to work with Lu Wenfeng in Yubu Langzhong to make a general map, check the landforms, and set a charter for fees, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

Just pondering, as soon as the carriage stopped, Li Mu opened the curtain, and Jingdong arrived.

……

Today happened to catch up with the days of Marseille, and Jingdong set changed the depression of the past and was very lively. Looking at the number of pedestrians on the road, it is no longer weaker than the flow of people in Dongshi. But there is still a very big difference from the West Market, after all, the West Market is a civilian business, there is no threshold, you can visit the West Market with or without money, but the East Market is not good, you don't wear Ayaluo, you dare to visit the East Market? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out as a prank?

The passenger flow of Jingdongji is very dependent on Marseille, and when there is Marseille, there are not only many people, but also many stalls on both sides of the street. Li Mu got off at the gate of the workshop and walked in, in fact, if he wanted to take the car, pedestrians had to give him way, but Li Mu didn't want to pretend to be that force, he pretended to be forced to divide the object, and when he met someone who pretended to be forced, he pretended to be a bigger one, but for a good comrade who didn't pretend to be forced, he didn't have that leisure, after all, pretending to be a bigger force than others was also very brain-consuming.

When Li Mu used to work in the Ministry of Industry, he would often turn a corner and pass by the West Market to have a bite to eat. He likes the liveliness of the West Market very much, and especially admires the people of Datang. In this era, there are only a few edible ingredients, few vegetables, no eggplants, no tomatoes or even beans, but in this era when there is almost nothing, the people of Datang, these snacks and pastries on the roadside, there are still dozens of things, and Li Mu can't see what they are made of, but they are very delicious, isn't this the wisdom of the working people?

For this reason, Li Mu specially instructed Bai Hao'er not to charge booth fees if he came to Jingdong to set up a stall to sell snacks. Don't underestimate this stall fee, for these stall people, in the West Market, they have to pay ten taxes and three, that is, to earn ten cents, pay three cents, and remove the cost and meager profits. In Jingdongji, these three articles are saved, and the inside and outside are about double the income.

After the news broke, Jingdongji's food stalls were everywhere, and there was no place to come late.

Compared with the popularity of these small stalls, Jingdongji's 'land merchants' are a little embarrassing. Although there are a lot of discounts for building a shop in Jingdong, the cost of the store is very high. Building a shop on flat land is not something that ordinary people can afford to pay for. Take the East Market and the West Market as an example, most of the operators are also leased shops, so if they really let them take out the money to buy a store, they may not be able to afford it with a lifetime of savings.

Jingdong set is an emerging market, although it is very cheap, but the future is unknown, if there is a store rental, maybe someone will try, but if you build your own store, in case it does not work in the future, this loss is not affordable for ordinary people, at least small traders and hawkers are afraid to try.

Li Mu was eating snacks while strolling around the street, and after a while, he walked to the door of his shop. Seeing this shop, Li Mu was also shocked, this is a store or a building, it is almost up to heaven and earth!

Take another look at the other side, Huo! It's not small at all, these two losers, they have two dollars to build a house, right? Is it worth that much?

"Husband!!"

Li Mu was looking at the door of Wang Ou's shop, and suddenly Li Zhien's voice sounded behind him. She saw Li Chongyi first, this kid was eight feet tall, and he couldn't stand there at first glance. Li Zhien knew that Li Chongyi and Li Mu were inseparable, and when he looked down, he found Li Mu, and immediately shouted in surprise and jumped over.

Her voice reminded everyone. Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai came from the backyard, and the window on the second floor of Wang Ou's shop opposite also opened, revealing a pretty face like a resentful woman.

Li Mu suddenly felt that his head was going to explode.

Li Zhien had already come to the front, she first glanced at the second floor opposite, and then graciously grabbed Li Mu's arm, and deliberately said loudly in a demonstration: "Husband, why are you free to come today, do you think that our store is about to open, and you want to come and have a look?" ”

"Oh-well, nothing to do." Li Mu pointed to the opposite side and said, "The opposite side is also going to open——"

"Yo, then we don't know, and we don't have any contact." Li Zhien snorted sourly, and dragged Li Mu's arm into the store: "Madame is in the backyard, husband, let's go." ”

"Wait a minute, I-"

"What are you waiting for, Madame is waiting for you." Li Zhien couldn't help but say something, and dragged Li Mu into the store. Wang Ou's eyes locked on Li Mu's back with a faint and resentful look, and he didn't close the window until he couldn't see it.

As soon as the window was closed, the maid beside Wang Ou said unfairly: "Miss, look at the little concubine opposite, yin and yang weird, who is it for!" The slave and maid can't be angry, as long as you nod, the slave and maid will make her unable to see the sun tomorrow tonight! ”

Wang Ou sighed faintly and said, "But if this is the case, Lang Jun will be sad." ”

"He's sad? Then the young lady is still sad, he doesn't just care about his wife and concubine, regardless of you, miss? It's been a long time since he's been with Miss, and Miss hasn't been thinking about him day and night, and I think he's a conscienceless—"

"What did you say?" Wang Ou's face instantly changed from resentment to extremely cold, a pair of eyes stared at the maid, and said coldly: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Miss......" was stared at by Wang Ou like this, the maid only felt a cool air swishing behind her, and her teeth chattered: "Slave maid, slave maid is unhappy for you——"

Wang Ou took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and said coldly: "I have been thinking that you and I have not had a short time, and I will spare your life this time." Remember, Lang Jun is my Lang Jun, not someone who can comment on it, I can't control my mouth, so I have to send you back to the altar. ”

When the maid heard the word 'holy altar', she immediately showed a frightened look, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave and maid know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid don't dare!" ”

"Go, take a penalty, and don't appear before me for ten days."

"The slave and maid are gone, thank you, Miss."

The maid walked away, Wang Ou sighed, and complained. At her age, she is already a mature woman physically and mentally, and she is very sensitive to things, how can she not know what the consequences will be if she and Bai Qiaoqiao build a shop on the street this time, but who is not a little petty, she just wants to know how many catties and taels she has in Li Mu's heart, she just wants to know whether Bai Qiaoqiao's status is insurmountable.

From the moment he looked at Li Mu just now, Wang Ou felt that it was really incomparable.

Although it was a result that I had already guessed, I still felt very bad in my heart.

"Someone."

"Miss." A maid came in, dressed in the same outfit as she had just been sent out, but had already changed into another one.

"The day we open is set for the day after the opening on the opposite side. Prepare a generous gift for me and send it to me on the opening day. ”

The maid was surprised: "Miss, this ......"

"Alas, it's no problem, who made the slave family like this little enemy." Wang Ou sighed and said, "Go ahead, do it." ”

"No." The maid took the order and left, Wang Ou opened the account book in front of her again, she knew in her heart that Li Mu would not come to see her today. But she was not in a hurry, because she looked at her just now, she could see that Li Mu missed her and would come to see her soon, a smart woman will never compete for favor when it is inappropriate, and sometimes she can get more favor when she takes a step back.

……

Bai Qiaoqiao is the first time to toss such a big deal, even if there is the work of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry before and after, the cost alone has already cost 30,000 yuan. This is an unimaginable number for Bai Qiaoqiao, who was born in Mayi. 30,000 guan, in Mayi, can buy the whole city.

It is said that with the flowing water of the Luhou Mansion, Bai Qiaoqiao will not be so surprised. But the problem is that she hasn't been in charge of the accounts for a few days, and after Li Zhien became the 'housekeeper', the accounts are all under her control, and Bai Qiaoqiao has never asked seriously. She only asked Li Zhien for money when she went out shopping to buy things, and she never said that when she was short of money, she was not sensitive to this aspect after a long time.

It wasn't until this time that she opened this store and all the money flowed through her hands, that she had a little real feeling, it turned out that this thing was worth so much money, that thing was so much money, every time she spent a sum of money, she sighed in her heart, for fear that the transaction would lose money again, and the money spent would not be returned, and she would become a loser's daughter-in-law.

If you can't give birth to a child in the first place, and if you lose the family, you can't be kicked out of the house by your mother-in-law?

Therefore, these days, Bai Qiaoqiao's pressure is really not small. She ran to Zhang Tianai's house to sleep, which had nothing to do with Li Mu, mainly because of the psychology of escaping, worried that she would not do well and did not dare to face it.

But in fact, Li Mu has seen the account book once, and this store has been built to the current level, and 30,000 yuan is not much at all. At present, it will be sold for 50,000 yuan, and it will be broken immediately. You have to know how many craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering have worked? How much is it worth? Also, work is not the same as work. Others hire craftsmen, and they don't do their best to say it, but this shop, everyone knows that it is Li Mu's own industry, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are eager to use their own milk to make use of their strength, so that Hou Ye can see his own craftsmanship, there is no stealing and slippery, even the stone slabs paved by the steps are edge-to-corner, horizontal and vertical are all a line, Li Mu looked at this detail, and pressed the heavens and the earth over, which made him quite embarrassed, and at the same time very relieved, worthy of the old craftsman he brought out, it is real!

was pondering, Gongsun Kang, who was digging a cellar in the backyard, heard that Li Mu was coming, and hurriedly came out of the cellar to meet him.

"Master Hou, you're here!"
