Chapter 309: There are assassins

The matter of the American workshop came to an end, and Li Huaitang took a look at the situation in the workshop area again, and the more than 30 workshops that have been opened are operating normally, and a large number of goods and raw materials continue to enter and exit the workshops, with the support of these goods, the North Market will be more prosperous.

Behind Ning Yuancheng's achievements, there is the unknown contribution of Wu 'Meng', which is not as obvious as the meritorious deeds of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the scale of commendation is not easy to grasp. For this, Li Huaitang was a little apologetic.

"Wu'meng', your merits are not lower than any soldier, but I don't know how to reward you, or I'll be in charge and give you a few more delicate concubines?"

Listening to Li Huaitang's half-serious and half-joking tone, Wu 'Meng' was full of black lines, and the sequelae of being a concubine last time had not been eliminated.

"Li Lang!" Su Xiaoniang's pretty face appeared in front of the carriage window, looking at Li Huaitang coquettishly.

"Ahem, just talk, just talk." Li Huaitang laughed dryly, "That's it, Wu 'Meng', don't hesitate to mention whatever reward you want." ”

Wu 'Meng' said: "The reward, Wu 'Meng' deserves it." However, if the general is free, I don't know if he can enjoy his face, so he can visit my newly opened liquor store, so that our shop can flourish. ”

Li Huaitang was surprised: "You opened a store?" ”

"Hehe, learn from the general, just find something to do for the wives and concubines, so that they don't make a big fuss at home."

Wu Meng's wife and concubine partnered to run a wine shop in the wine shop area in the south of Beishi, named Gongsun's house, across Chang'an Avenue and the General's Mansion.

After walking in the workshop area for most of the day, everyone's stomachs began to sing empty city plans, and Wu Meng's invitation was in the middle of it, dozens of people unceremoniously came to the "Gongsun family", put up more than a dozen tables, and Li Huaitang sat in the upper room with the three beauties, accompanied by Wu 'Meng' husband and 'wife'.

"Gongsun family, good name! Haha, it turns out that Wu 'Meng' is not interested in money, can he not afford to raise a concubine, so he thought of opening such a shop? ”

As soon as Li Huaitang sat down, he laughed and lit a fire for the two Wumeng couples. Wu 'Meng''s wife didn't dare to complain in front of Li Huaitang, but she still couldn't stop her poisonous hand from being ruthless in Wu 'Meng's waist and abdomen.

Li Huaitang was stunned to see Wu 'Meng''s tutor, although Wu 'Meng' didn't shout, but the painful expression on his face said everything well.

Li Huaitang smiled dryly: "Don't blame Mrs. Sister-in-law, if you want to blame, blame me." Thousands of households worked hard to sleep and forget to eat, so that today's Ningyuan City can be found. The soldiers have rewards, but I missed your husband, this is my fault, and I asked Xiao Chestnut to make up a reward for Mr. Gongsun. ”

"The Admiral is polite, polite. If the general wants to reward our Gongsun family, why don't you give us this shop tax exemption. "Wu 'Meng''s wife's bold request, this request she 'forced' Wu 'Meng' for a long time, and let Wu 'Meng' give Li Huaitang a favor.

"A bunch of nonsense, the 'woman' is stupid!" Wu 'Meng' scolded with a straight face, "General, I have spoken falsely, I hope that the general will not be blamed." ”

Li Huaitang smiled, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay." The tax-free thing that my sister-in-law said, I don't count it, it has to be done by the House of Representatives. ”

Su Xiaoniang was very curious: "Doesn't Ningyuan City only collect taxes for leaving the city?" Do you have to pay taxes when you open a store? ”

Wu 'Meng' said: "Yes, the tax rate in the wine shop area is eleven tax. ”

Su Xiaoniang covered her mouth to express surprise.

Wu 'Meng' continued to solve the 'confusion': "Madame doesn't know that most of the tax revenue of our Ningyuan City is contributed by this wine shop area. On the surface, we levied a very low tax rate on the caravans, but in fact, it was the arrival of these caravans that prospered the wine shop area, and their eating, drinking, lodging and entertainment in the wine shop area brought us a lot of money. ”

"I see. Today, the concubine thought that Li Lang was going to be poor soon, and wanted to open the workshop as soon as possible to make money, so as to subsidize Li Lang in the future. Su Xiaoniang was very innocent and suddenly realized.

Wu 'Meng' looked at Li Huaitang with a smile, in the entire Ningyuan City, if Li Huaitang shouted poverty, then other people would not have to live, not to mention anything else, just this time from the palace of Xijian City all kinds of materials and wealth are countless, except for the rewards and into the public treasury, the gold and silver treasures sent to Li Huaitang's mansion are enough for Li Huaitang to marry dozens of beautiful women.

Su Xiaoniang doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and she doesn't care how many things there are in the mansion, but Liu Meiren is different, she is the 'female' king of Bahan, and she is fortunate to see Li Huaitang move those golden objects from the palace in Xijian City. Hearing Su Xiaoniang's words, Liu Meiren couldn't help pursing her lips, secretly pulled the corners of Su Xiaoniang's clothes, and whispered something to her ear.

"Huh?" Su Xiaoniang's eyes lit up and she looked at her husband incredulously.

The greetings in the room were interrupted by the sound of pulling the 'door', and the two Hu Niang came to serve wine and food.

"Huh? Isn't this Li Lang's specialty? ”

A plate of 'color' and fragrant lamb chops was placed on everyone's desk. Su Xiaoniang was surprised to find that it was the tasteless lamb chops that Li Huaitang often made for her.

"That's right!" Wu Meng's face was filled with a smug look, "This is the dish 'color' I stole from the general, and it is one of the special 'color' dishes here, named the general's row!" ”

"Those merchants also eat tasteless mutton 'meat'?" Li Huaitang was a little curious.

Wu 'Meng' continued to be shameless: "Hehe, the merchants who come here are from the great names of General Mu and his wife, and they can be described as their favor for this dish. ”

"Do you want our name?" Li Huaitang and Su Xiaoniang glanced at each other and asked in unison.

"Don't be annoyed, ma'am. The allusion that the general specially cooked this dish for his wife was carried forward, but it was really effective, attracting countless merchants, and now people talk about this dish with relish. "Wu 'Meng' not only stole the teacher from Li Huaitang, but also knew that this dish was specially made by Li Huaitang for Su Xiaoniang, who didn't like the smell. He went home and didn't want to talk about it, but his wife and concubine were like a treasure, and they pirated it according to the gourd, and finally achieved Li Huaitang's amorous reputation.

"What allusion?" Liu Meiren asked Su Xiaoniang beside her curiously, but Su Xiaoniang asked her face flushed and sent to Li Huaitang's coquettishness. Liu Meiren looked at Li Huaitang in puzzlement, and what she saw was the 'swinging' evil smile that she could read.

"Come, come, I'm having a treat today, how about the general and the ladies try it?" Wu Meng's wife's words were embarrassing, but no one corrected them, and they all used their teeth to deal with the lamb chops.

There are many styles of wine and food in Gongsun's house, and the people who serve the dishes keep coming in and out, and the two Hu Niang send another steamed fish.

Wu 'Meng' said: "This fish is taken by breaking the ice, and it is extremely rare in winter, so the general and his wife might as well try it." ”

Hu Niang put two plates of fish on the desk of Li Huaitang and Su Xiaoniang respectively.

Li Huaitang was 'about to use' chopsticks when a fight suddenly broke out outside the 'door', followed by the shouts of assassins.

Li Huaitang's hand quickly clenched the saber, his eyes were like a torch, and he was vigilant in four 'shots'.

Outside the room, the fight was very 'fierce', with shouts, horns, blades, and screams. The 'door' of the room suddenly opened, and Li Zhongxin carried a bloody scimitar, and said with an extremely serious expression: "General, there is a sudden influx of assassins whose identities are unknown, please ask the General to block the 'door' of the room from the inside and wait for rescue." After speaking, Li Zhongxin closed the 'door', and outside the 'door', there was his roar and fighting.

"Li Lang!" Su Xiaoniang habitually leaned towards Li Huaitang for a sense of security.

Li Huaitang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have ...... Be careful! As soon as the words came out, an accident suddenly happened, and a desk was kicked away by him and smashed into a Hu Niang who was serving food......
