Chapter 57: The Pit
In Shuozhou, north of Taiyuan, for example, at least eight acres of ten acres of land are coal. Although the harvest is not good, it is also the land, and the people depend on it for their livelihood, and if the court takes it back directly, the people will starve to death, which will definitely not work.
Li Mu can think that if the monarch agrees to the resource law, then this issue must be the focus of the next discussion. But in fact, in Li Mu's opinion, this matter couldn't be simpler. Isn't this the demolition of the future! The so-called house is a pickpocket, Paramela. The house moves, the Range Rover moves. Tear down the word and spray, and immediately mention the big run. In later generations, there are many white-collar workers who can't save a down payment, and they wait for their hometown to be demolished all day long.
Li Mu was an orphan in his previous life, with no house, no property and no arable land, and he couldn't get this kind of pie in the sky. But he saw it with his own eyes, and the driver who drove for the manager yesterday dropped his resignation letter in the manager's face after learning that his family had occupied an area. Whether demolition is a good thing or not, Li Mu can't be sure, but for people at the bottom, it is indeed a shortcut that can quickly improve their living standards.
Not to mention that Li Shimin is a generation of Ming Jun, even if he is mediocre, he can't do anything to rob the people's land. In the end, most of them are similar to later generations, or occupy the people's coal land, transfer it to good land, or buy land directly from the people, but in this way, there should not be a few people to sell, after all, the money is gone as soon as it is spent, and the land is the foundation of life.
In addition to these two methods, the only way to do this is to change the attributes of these people, who were the people before, and then they are workers, coal miners. This method is actually the best, but I don't know if anyone in the DPRK and China will put it forward. Li Mu thought in his heart, if no one mentioned it, would he mention it himself......
Suddenly, he remembered a person, the Taiyuan calf and horse who let him take in 3,000 times, Wang Pu's younger brother Wang Pu, who is also from Taiyuan. There is coal everywhere near Taiyuan, and since this kid is a descendant of the Taiyuan royal family, he should have divided a lot of fields......
Li Mu rolled his eyes, got up and said to Xiao Chen: "Father-in-law can supervise here, Ben Hou suddenly remembered that there is another important matter in the Ministry of Industry, so he will retire today and come early tomorrow." ”
Xiao Chen's father-in-law got a lot of bribes from him, and he was already an acquaintance, and when he heard him say this, he didn't ask him what to do, he just said that he was watching here, and Li Mu could do it himself.
Li Mu left heaven and earth, took Li Chongyi and four guards on horseback, and went straight to Wang Pu's house. He and Wang Pu have formed a relationship, how can he just forget it casually, he has already sent someone to secretly investigate Wang Pu, where his home is, Li Mu will know that day.
Originally, his plan was to wait for the rumors of the gambling contract in the racecourse to pass that day, and take advantage of the dark moon and high wind night to make a 'trebuchet' to throw Molotov cocktails at Wang Pu's house. Later, Wang Ou came to the house, although he didn't say anything to persuade him, but he brought a lot of valuable silk, even if Li Mu didn't talk about human feelings, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
But this doesn't mean that he is discouraged, there are grievances to revenge, there is revenge, and he still remembers Wang Pu, a Liangzi, that he just didn't find a suitable opportunity.
Today, this opportunity has come!
Wang Pu is packing up and planning to go back to his hometown in Taiyuan.
A few days ago, he scolded the students for speaking ill of the Bashang Liquor Workshop, and blew the wind in Kong Yingda's ears and asked him to impeach Li Mu again. I didn't expect Kong Yingda to be so unbearable, what to talk about again, and make a fool of herself again, and the hall was refuted by Li Mu speechless, and she fainted. And Bashang Wine Shop also has a new wine champion red, and the slanderous rumors he painstakingly made up are self-defeating.
After two consecutive defeats, Wang Pu was also a little disheartened. Yesterday, Wang Jue knew about this incident again, called him over, reprimanded him greatly, and ordered him to resign and return to his hometown. Wang Pu didn't dare to disobey his brother's wishes, so he began to pack up, planning to leave tomorrow.
This house in Chang'an was carefully designed by Wang Pu, and the construction of each place has his own thoughts, and it is very pleasant to live in. But in a few days, the house will be sold. Wang Pu couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, looking back on the days in Chang'an in the past few years, and then thinking about the days after returning to Taiyuan, he couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry.
When he came to Chang'an, he once made a bold statement with his friends that he would leave Taiyuan and enter Chang'an, and he would not return the marquis oath. And now, he was sealed by a person who had sealed the Hou, and he went back in disgrace, how could he say goodbye to Jiangdong's father?
There is no greater frustration in life than this, miserable!
"It's all that Li Mu, don't let me see him, I'm ......"
Wang Pu was gritting his teeth and lashing out, when suddenly the porter ran over. Wang Puzheng had no place to be angry, seeing that the porter was so formless, he couldn't help but get angry from his heart, grabbed a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and smashed his head and face, and scolded: "Something like a dog, what does it look like to be in a panic, my Taiyuan Wang's door style is corrupted by people like you!" ”
The porter didn't care about the pain, stamped his feet and shouted, "Master! It's a big deal, it's coming! ”
When Wang Pu heard this, he chuckled in his heart and asked, "What is knocking on the door, tell me clearly!" ”
"It's Zhuluhou, he brought a dozen people and hit the door! The villain saw that it was him, and quickly put down the door bolt, but I'm afraid it won't work, the big man behind him has a huge axe, I'm afraid that he can split the door of our house at once! Master, you better run, go through the back door, go to the big master's house, the villain thinks to himself, Zhulu Hou should not dare to go to the prime minister's mansion to show off his might! ”
"Too much deception!" Wang Pu said angrily: "I still don't believe it, and he still dares to kill me?" Go and gather all the people in the house for me, and today I will fight to the death with them...... No, he will die! He will die! ”
Wang Pu was really angry, as the young master of the Taiyuan Wang family since he was a child, when did he ever be wronged, and the biggest loss in his life was on Li Mu. was already holding his stomach, at this time Li Mu knocked on the door, as if he had lit a bag of explosives, the clay figure still has three points of earthiness, not to mention that Wang Pu's head still has the halo of the Taiyuan Wang family, if he really ran away from the back door as this porter said, he will really have no face to see people in the future.
Wang Pu gave an order, and the porter was also helpless. He saw Li Chongyi's size, and thought to himself, there are more than 30 people in our mansion, half of them are female dependents, and the rest are subordinates, but there is no one who can fight. That big man is eight feet tall, and the giant axe in his hand is afraid that he has to weigh hundreds of pounds, and if he really fights, isn't this just sending him to death?
But as a servant of the Wang family, he knew that he would die, and he couldn't disobey his orders, so he still listened to Wang Pu's words and called all the people in the kitchen and stables in the front yard and back yard. Everyone has a guy in their hands, kitchen knives, sticks, sickles and rakes, I don't know if it's useful or not, anyway, it's not empty-handed.
Wang Pu pulled out his sword, looked at the closed door, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Open the door!" ”
The porter wanted to persuade again, Wang Pu shouted: "If you are afraid of death, get out, I will fight him to the death today!" ”
The porter sighed, clenched the dagger in his hand, and went to open the door with courage.
The deadbolt was lowered, and the vermilion door slowly opened......
"But the porter of the house? Here is the worship of the Marquis of Zhulu......"
On the way to Li Mu, he sent someone home to bring Xin'er, and asked the family to prepare two thousand yuan, which was escorted by Zhao Youcai with four guards. Originally, Zhao Youcai was going to arrive later than Li Mu, but Wang Pu didn't open the door for a long time, and he just happened to come over.
The porter was already ready to fight for his life, but when he heard Zhao Youcai speak like this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. Hurriedly put the short dagger into his sleeve, took the salute with both hands, looked at Li Mu who was sitting on the horse, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what happened to the deer marquis?" ”
Zhao Youcai turned his face and said, "The matter between the Hou Ye and your master, is it also something that we should ask?" ”
The porter was embarrassed, saluted, said a moment, and then turned back to the courtyard.
Wang Pu came back after seeing him say a few words at the door, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”
"Master, this is a greeting post for the Marquis of Zhulu."
"Excuse me?" Wang Pu frowned, put the sword back into the scabbard, opened the post and glanced at it, and the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.
After pursing his lips and thinking for a long time, Wang Pu said: "It's all gone, please see you in the hall of the Luhou." ”
Everyone didn't know why, but it was naturally a good thing not to be desperate, so they all quickly withdrew. Wang Pu returned to the lobby and waited, and the porter went to open the door. Not long after, Li Mu came, and only Li Chongyi followed alone. Wang Pu glanced at him, got up to salute, his face was somewhat ugly, and said, "Lord Hou came to the cold house, didn't he come to ridicule?" Now that he is going back to his hometown in Taiyuan, Hou Ye doesn't have to be so aggressive, right? ”
Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I have written very clearly on the prayer post, and I came here this time to turn hostility into jade silk. If Brother Wang is unwilling, then Benhou will leave. ”
"Wait a minute!" Wang Pu hurriedly stopped, how could he be unwilling, just for the sake of face, he just wanted a step. But he didn't expect Li Mu to be unwilling to give this step, so that he would not be embarrassed, but if Li Mu was offended to death, he would not dare.
Li Mu looked back at him, Wang Pu squeezed out a smile, and said, "Since the Hou Ye has come, then I am not a stingy person, forget the previous matter." Master Hou, please take a seat. ”
"That's exactly how it should be, but it has to be clear." Li Mu sat down nearby and said to Wang Pu: "After the last bet, I had forgotten about it. But Brother Wang, you are very inauthentic, just because I said a word about you little cow and horse, I enveloped the students behind my back to slander the Bashang Wine Workshop, and also impeached the Confucius Sacrifice Wine...... That's what's wrong with you. I originally wanted to take revenge on you, but Sister Ou kept apologizing for you and giving me brocade and pearls, and I really couldn't wipe off this face, so I thought it would be better to forget it. ”
Li Mu was not polite at all, and said: "You have to understand, I can come today, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I'm giving Sister Ou face." ”
Wang Pu's face became ugly again, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still didn't have a seizure, suppressed his anger, and said: "I was also wrong in the past, since I said that I turned the war into a jade silk, don't mention it." ”
"Okay, then don't mention it!" Li Mu was very refreshed, smiled again, and said, "I came today to give a big gift to Brother Wang." ”
