Li Mu's reputation has always been bad, it was like this when he was in Chang'an City, and he couldn't reverse it when he arrived in Luoyang City, and it was even worse. Yesterday he solicited bribes in broad daylight, and through the propaganda of the businessmen he blackmailed, the whole city became known overnight. In this era, reputation is more important than life, even if Li Mu is a strange person, he doesn't care what others say, and he can't stand being poked in the back all day long. (Don't be in a hurry when you see the repetition, refresh after a dozen minutes!) ）

Fortunately, he was prepared.

"The notice is coming, the notice is coming!"

A brocade guard came to Nanshi quickly, holding a notice in his hand, everyone quickly got out of the way, and Jinyi Wei dismounted and pasted the notice on the wall. After posting, he stood next to him and said, "Master Hou wants to learn from the four gates, and he has strong support from the merchants of Luoyang City." A total of 100,000 yuan was raised, and the detailed list of donations was on the notice. Hou Ye said that in the future, everyone's children will have books to read, and they must not forget the names of these generous people. ”

With that, the brocade guard got on his horse and left, and everyone gathered around. Someone shouted: "It's not like I was blackmailed by Hou Ye yesterday-" Halfway through the words, he knew that he was speechless, and when he saw that the people next to him were all looking over, he hurriedly changed his words: "I understand!" ”

The person next to him said strangely: "What are you doing here, shouting, what do you understand?" ”

I only heard this person say: "Everyone doesn't know, I have done business in Chang'an City. Hou Ye's name in Chang'an City is well-known. Since he came to Chang'an City last year, in less than half a year, he has risen rapidly. He made his fortune by making wine, and his family wealth was innumerable. People in Chang'an City say that the money that Hou Ye gave to His Majesty alone has millions of yuan. ”

The crowd gasped, and a local from Luoyang asked, "Millions?" Boast! ”

The man smiled contemptuously, as if sarcastically saying that the speaker had never seen the world: "Boasting? Wonder is the daughter of ignorance! I have personally experienced it, around the Chinese New Year this year, in order to celebrate his wife's pregnancy, Lord Hou was happy and threw money all over the city. Legend has it that 50,000 pieces were scattered in one night. Now in the floor tile cracks of Pingkangfang, you can occasionally pick up one or two copper coins, this thing has been seen by all the people in Chang'an, and there are not a few people who have got money, don't believe you to inquire? ”

There were many merchants coming and going in Nanshi, and of course there were businessmen who came and went between Chang'an and Luoyang like the man who spoke, and when they heard this, they all stood up and testified. Li Mu's matter of throwing coins in the whole city is well known to everyone in Chang'an City, and it is not considered to be putting gold on his face.

"Yesterday, when I heard about Lord Hou extorting money, I felt strange. Hou Ye's family has countless wealth, can he use blackmail? Even if he really blackmailed, he wouldn't just blackmail so much, right? Let's take a look, there are only 100,000 yuan in total, of which Hou Ye himself paid more than 20,000 yuan, does he look like he is poor money? ”

Someone in the crowd shouted: "But he collected the money, and the big guy also watched!" ”

"Phew!" This person seems to be Li Mu's iron fan, and he can't hear others say that Li Mu is not good, so when he heard the words, he rushed to that person: "Seeing is not necessarily believing!" We only saw that Hou Ye had collected the money, but we didn't hear it, what was the reason for collecting this money! I see, it's all those unconscionable businessmen! Hou Ye wanted to run four schools for the people and let them donate some money, but they were cramped and dissatisfied. And because of the majesty of the Hou Ye, he didn't dare not take it, so after taking the money, he spread rumors everywhere and arranged the character of the Hou Ye! Let us think that Hou Ye is a mercenary villain, and his heart is really damned! ”

As he spoke, he agitated and shouted, "Big guy, can we fall for this?" ”

Most of the people in the crowd were onlookers eating melons. No one is there to speak, so they may just look at it. But there is such a person who stands up and analyzes, and the analysis seems to be quite reasonable, and there are more people who subconsciously believe it.

"That's right, people scatter 50,000 yuan on the street, can they still be greedy for this money?"

"Isn't it? These businessmen are really cunning and treacherous, or Lord Hou has a large number of them, and they are so calculated, and they don't forget to keep an eye on this group of businessmen. Phew! Whoever wants to remember their goodness, to remember, must also remember the good of Hou Ye! If they really had such a great kindness, they would have donated money to build a school a long time ago. Why didn't Hou Ye do this before he came, and Hou Ye came to have this thing?! ”

"Brother Ren is right!"

"Go to thank Hou Ye!"

The crowd clamored, and someone took the lead, going to the county government to thank Li Mu. If there is a leader, there will be those who follow, and if there are a few followers, there will be a few more people who will watch the excitement. The same thing happened at the gates of each square, and gradually the crowd converged in one place, and the momentum became huge in an instant.

……

The news soon spread to somewhere in the city, and a carrier pigeon flew into the sky, flickered its wings out of the city, and landed in a wood. Mama Rong took off the note, glanced at it, took it behind Sister Lu, who was painting, and said softly: "Sister, that kid Li Mu made a move, he took out all the money he extorted yesterday, and also posted more than 20,000 yuan by himself for running four schools for the sons of the people to study." Now a large number of people are rushing to the county government to thank him in person. ”

Sister Lu put down her pen and smiled: "Follow the trend, use your strength, at a young age, you can use the means wisely." ”

Mama Rong was expressionless and said, "Sister, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Cope?" Sister Lu looked at Mama Rong and said strangely, "Why do you have to deal with it?" Did we have any conflicts with Li Mu before? ”

"This ......" Mama Rong pondered for a moment, although the two sides were already clear enemies, and they both knew each other. But so far, there really hasn't been any substantive direct conflict between the two sides, and after a few tricks in the air, they are all just painless and testing each other.

"This kid has just arrived in Luoyang City, and his foothold is not stable. For us, Luoyang City is like our own garden, and there is no comparison at all. Now he is in the light, and we are in the dark. If my guess is correct, he now wishes that we could go to his trouble, so that he can get to know us better, find our weaknesses, and come up with ways to deal with them. ”

Sister Lu smiled and said: "I don't want to give him this opportunity, if anyone is not allowed to have a head-on conflict with Li Mu, if necessary, it doesn't hurt to follow his wishes, and if there are losses, they are all on my account, and I will pay for how much." ”

Mama Rong hurriedly said: "Sister, this is detrimental to your reputation, and it will make people feel that we are afraid of him Li Mu." ”

"Why fight for the moment?" Sister Lu didn't seem to care about her reputation, and asked, "Mama, how did you arrange what I asked you to do the day before yesterday?" ”

"Sister is talking about the purchase of old grain?" Seeing Sister Lu bowing slightly, Mama Rong said: "The number of old grains of each family has been summarized in the account. The price given by my sister is one or five percent more than the average price, and they are all willing to sell, and they have already made a contract. I have already sent people to build a warehouse on the spot according to my sister's instructions, and gather all these grains, which will be completed before the autumn harvest, sister, please rest assured. ”

Sister Lu nodded and said, "Mama, I've always been relieved to do things." She got up, moved her muscles and bones, and said, "Arrange a bath soup, if you are tired, take a bath and rest." ”

"No." Mama Rong answered, waiting for Sister Lu to change her clothes, Sister Lu caught a glimpse of her speechless appearance out of the corner of her eye, and said with a smile: "Mama has been with me for decades, what do you have to hold in your heart, don't you say it?" ”

"Miss, there is too much money used to buy Chen Liang this time. The elders sent a message to ask the young lady why she had done this. The new grain will come down soon, this year's wind and rain are smooth, the grain is bound to be harvested, Miss has collected so much old grain, or buy it at a higher price, and it will definitely lose money at that time. ”

Sister Lu didn't speak, and motioned for Mama Rong to finish speaking, Mama Rong knew that Miss was a little angry, but she had to be responsible for the elders, even if Sister Lu didn't like to listen, she still had to say it: "The elders also know that Miss must have a deep meaning when she does things." If it is more than 100,000 or 200,000, the elders will not say anything. But this time, the money used by the young lady, the money before and after, the money for the purchase of grain, the money for the journey, the conversion loss, etc., all added up, almost a million yuan. If this is lost, it will have to be discounted in half, and the elders have to ask about such a large sum of money. ”

After listening to what Mama Rong said, Sister Lu didn't get angry, and said lightly: "These elders are always like this. If you earn it, don't say hello, if you lose it, you can talk about it for a lifetime. If they don't understand, they have to ask you to explain it to him, which annoys you, and it doesn't matter. I always see others wrong, but I don't know that I am stupid. ”

Mama Rong looked embarrassed, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, after all, they are elders, so it's not appropriate to say this." ”

"What's wrong?" Sister Lu laughed contemptuously and said, "Mama helped me pass on a word, if they can still trust me, don't ask questions." If I can't believe it, I don't care. Anyway, I'm a dead man, a widow who lost a child, and I'm a living dead, and I should have gone to the nunnery to become a monk a long time ago! ”

Mama Rong didn't dare to answer again, so she saluted and retreated.

Sister Lu sat down and looked at the unfinished paintings on the table, the people in the paintings only had outlines, not appearances. She rubbed the paper gently, tears dripping down her eyes and the ink spent.

"Son, where are you......"

……

Li Mu thanked him for a while before sending away the enthusiastic people of Luoyang. Things went more smoothly than he had imagined, and the people who had been sent out to make noise today had basically completed their tasks. Li Mu naturally did not hesitate to reward money, and when hundreds of dollars were scattered, the big guys were very happy.

With these people's hopes, it can be regarded as being able to gain a foothold in Luoyang City. It is not necessary that things will go to that point in the future, but this first step can be regarded as a step. Next, it's up to the opponent to make a move. Li Mu thought in his heart, stayed for a while, and waited until Bai Qiaoqiao called him to eat, and then got up from the bed. Sister Lu didn't speak, and motioned for Mama Rong to finish speaking, Mama Rong knew that Miss was a little angry, but she had to be responsible for the elders, even if Sister Lu didn't like to listen, she still had to say it: "The elders also know that Miss must have a deep meaning when she does things."
