Chapter 19: The Difficult Sutra
Bai Hao'er is living a very nourishing life now.
Qian Dahai is a capable person, Li Mu ordered something, there is no need to worry about it in vain, Qian Dahai did it clearly. Bai Hao'er had free time, and his mind was not on business, he saw that there was a long queue in front of the wine shop every day, and his heart moved, and he thought of a good idea to make money.
At the beginning, he didn't dare to make a big splash, but pretended that so-and-so was his friend or fellow countryman, and begged Huang Qi to sell face. Although Huang Qi knew it, Bai Hao'er was Li Mu's father-in-law after all, so he had to consider this relationship, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.
With this first time, it's easy to do! Bai Hao'er tested Huang Qi's reality and began his own money-making plan. Since that day, there have been more and more friends and more and more fellow villagers, Huang Qi didn't expect Bai Hao'er to be so self-respecting and even worse! But he had already said yes once, and if he didn't say yes this second and third time...... That is to tear the skin, no matter how you say that Bai Haoer is Li Mu's father-in-law, he is just a steward in Li Ji's mansion, and he really doesn't have the courage to do so.
Helpless, he had no choice but to report the matter to the second master Li Bi.
After Li Bi learned about it, he was also in a dilemma. The business of this Bashang Distillery is so good that it is based on the three cups invented by Li Mu. It can be said that without Li Mu, there would be no Bashang Distillery. And Li Mu refused the cooperation of others several times, and Li Bi was all by his side, looking at it. Lian Cheng Biting Jin and the Emperor Taishang refused, this is not a pressure that ordinary people can withstand. This business can be prosperous with anyone, Li Mu is equivalent to sending money to the Cao Guogong Mansion, although there is a relationship between relatives, but if people don't cooperate with you, can they still be tied up?
Now this winery brings 100,000 yuan of income to the Cao Guogong Mansion every year, which is a lot of money. When Li Bi and his brother Li Ji chatted, they often mentioned that the Cao Guogong Mansion was supported by Li Mu.
Under such circumstances, for such a thing, he had an unpleasant quarrel with Li Mu's father-in-law, and Li Bi asked himself if he could do it. After thinking about it for a while, Li Bi still instructed Huang Qi to just ignore it and ignore it.
A few days ago, Marseille, Bai Hao'er also went to see it, and when he came back, he made out a wine ticket according to Marseille's prize ticket. Now it was out of control, and the people who came to get the wine were all holding wine tickets, and the people in line were useless no matter how early they came. Now the wine sellers in line are gone, and it's just a few more stuffed in the past, after all, the number is not large, everyone can bear with it, but now it's good, just don't give a way to live, even if you have strange goods, you can't bully people like this!
A group of liquor sellers made trouble for two days, but Huang Qi couldn't cope with it, so he had to hide. When he returned, he was surprised to find that Bai Hao'er had settled the matter. The reason is still the four characters of strange goods, anyway, Lao Tzu's wine is not worried about selling, do you like to buy it or not, you don't want to buy wine tickets, someone is willing to buy it. I really can't sell out of wine tickets, there are still queues, you are angry, you think it's unfair, I won't sell it to you, see who is in a hurry in the end!
Huang Qi didn't expect Bai Hao'er to be so shameless, but it can be regarded as a relief, he can't control Bai Hao'er, and he can't talk to Li Mu, so he just doesn't care, he only focuses on production every day, and the sales are all controlled by Bai Hao'er.
Bai Hao'er is also a little capable, I don't know where to recruit a few tired splashes to settle down, turned into a guy who sells alcohol tickets, and sells wine tickets in the convoy in front of the wine shop every day, and after a few days, the existence of wine tickets has been passively accepted by the wine sellers, and there is no one who says it is unfair.
In addition to the hard-earned money rewarded to the buddies, Bai Hao'er receives at least ten times a day. After saving some money in his hand, he studied with his mother-in-law, planning to continue to buy land next to the twenty hectares of land that Li Mu gave him. In Bai Hao'er's heart, money is floating wealth and is not spent as soon as it is spent, and the land is what can be passed on to children and grandchildren. If you save thousands of acres of fertile land, even if Bai Gensheng has no interest after his birth, relying on these thousands of acres of land to raise some farmers, his life will not be bad.
I was planning to report this, and one of his men came to report it. Zhuluhou came, and arrested four guys who were selling alcohol tickets. Bai Nao'er's face turned white as soon as he brushed the ground, and his legs and feet were not called. The guy wanted to call someone, but he quickly stopped him, let the guy help him, and crawled to the reception hall of the wine shop.
Li Mu sat in the right position with a sinking face, Li Chongyi stood behind him with a big axe, the blade of the axe flashed with cold light, and it was terrifying to look at. There were Qian Dahai and four guys kneeling on the ground, Huang Qi stood aside and hung his head silently, and when he heard Bai Hao'er's footsteps, he just glanced back and didn't speak.
Bai Hao'er was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, pushed away the hand of the guy who was holding him, threw himself on the ground and trembled, and couldn't even say a word of defense. Since he came to Chang'an, every time Bai Nao'er saw Li Mu, he was afraid of him. In fact, Li Mu didn't do anything to him, but he was just afraid, and the reason for it was that even he couldn't tell him clearly.
Li Mu looked at Bai Hao'er lying on the ground, and felt irritable for no reason. For his father-in-law, Li Mu really felt a little headache.
According to what Bai Hao'er did, Li Mu couldn't overdo it to him. And the reason why he didn't choose revenge was simply because he was worried about Bai Qiaoqiao.
Combined with Qiaoqiao from initial embarrassment to acquaintance, Li Mu really loves her. No matter how bad Bai Hao'er is, after all, she is Bai Qiaoqiao's father, Li Mu can't bear to see her sad, and she loves the house and Wuxia, so she tolerates and takes care of Bai Hao'er. gave him twenty hectares of land because these twenty hectares were not next to those fifty hectares, and Li Mu didn't plan to farm the land, so he sent Bai Hao'er over, out of sight and out of mind. The same is true for half of the profit of the winery, Li Mu is not short of this money, and gives it to Bai Hao'er, even if he fulfills the responsibility of supporting Qiaoqiao, and finds something to do for him, it also saves him from always annoying Qiaoqiao when he has nothing to do.
I thought that with such an arrangement, Bai Naoer would be content and quietly be a rich man in a farmhouse, but I didn't expect this old guy to be dishonest. Li Mu glanced at the wine ticket in his hand, and admired Bai Hao'er's head in his heart, he could imitate the essence of Marseille lottery tickets so quickly, ordinary people couldn't do it. In today's era, the best anti-counterfeiting is fingerprints, and he can think of this, which can be regarded as a lively mind.
"Help Benhou's father-in-law up." Li Mu said word by word: "This is Benhou's father-in-law, did you want to let him lie on the ground, did you want to trap Benhou in a situation of unfilial piety?" ”
"No, no, virtuous son-in-law, filial piety, I ......" Bai Nao'er wanted to get up, but her legs cramped, she really couldn't get up, and the expression on her face was more ugly than crying: "Virtuous son-in-law, can you wait a while, I have cramps......"
Li Chongyi made a look, and the two Hou Mansion guards standing next to him walked over and set up Bai Hao'er.
Bai Nao'er didn't dare to look at Li Mu's eyes at all, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that what he said was also in vain, sighed, and lowered his head.
Li Mu didn't bother to pay attention to him, glanced at Qian Dahai who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Qian Dahai, do you remember your identity?" ”
Qian Dahai lay on the ground and trembled like chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the Hou Ye, the sea remembers that the sea is a slave in the Hou Ye's mansion, thanks to the Hou Ye not giving up, let the sea be the bookkeeper in the winery." ”
"Since you still know that you are a slave in the Hou Mansion, then you go back to the mansion every three days to report the account, why don't you mention the matter of the wine ticket?"
Qian Dahai cried and said, "Master Hou, Master Bai is your father-in-law, I, I don't dare!" ”
"Don't you dare?" Li Mu snorted coldly and said, "You are a good person!" But you forgot who is your master! I asked you to come here, did I ask you to be a favor? ”
"I'm disappointed in you!"
"Master Hou......" Qian Dahai fell to the ground and cried, secretly scolding himself for being confused. After a few comfortable days, I forgot who I was. What kind of favor did the slave do, which made the Hou Ye unhappy, and his life could not be guaranteed at any time, what was the use of asking for favors!
Li Mu sighed and said, "You have done a good job reading your account, and you are indeed embarrassed about this matter." I will not punish you severely, but I will give you ten lashes and a little punishment, but will I be convinced? ”
Qian Dahai was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed: "The sea is convinced!" Thank you for your grace! ”
Li Chongyi asked the two guards to put the money out of the sea, and then the sound of whips came in. Li Chongyi didn't take care of Qian Dahai's life because he did it, if he did it, within three whips, Qian Dahai would not be able to live.
After a while, after the ten whips, the guards brought Qian Dahai back, Qian Dahai had three more whip marks on his face, but he was not seriously injured, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and said: "Hou Ye, the sea knows that it is wrong, the sea knows what to do, and it will definitely live up to Hou Ye's expectations in the future, and will not let Hou Ye be disappointed again." If there is a next time, the sea does not need to be done by the Hou Ye, and he will hang himself......"
"Okay, the curse will be waived, and you will do your job well."
Qian Dahai retreated with a thousand thanks, and then looked at the four guys kneeling on the ground, two of them were already so frightened that they peed their pants.
"As for you ......"
"Master Hou, the villain is wronged, the villain listened to your father-in-law's orders, and he only got 200 hard-earned money every day......"
"Master Hou, spare your life, Master Hou......"
The four of them shouted loudly, and Bai Hao'er scolded in his heart, he had long known that these broken settlements were unreliable, but he didn't expect them to be so unreliable, he didn't even ask a word, he shook off the bottom first, where did you put me in this way?
Just when Bai Hao'er was thinking about whether to join in and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, Li Mu suddenly sighed and said, "There is no need to beg Benhou for mercy, you are all Benhou's father-in-law, and Benhou does not dare to deal with it." Stand down. ”
The four of them were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't believe their ears. Just now, the account office of the Hou Mansion was beaten ten times, and he was not beaten? Worried that Li Mu would regret it, and before he had time to think about it, the four of them kowtowed and hurriedly ran out.
There is only one white mess left......
Bai Hao'er was a little flustered.
