The next day, before four o'clock in the morning (equivalent to about four o'clock in the morning), Niu Er shouted that Li Mu got up, and after washing, he simply ate some breakfast made of cuihua, and Li Mu set off with everyone.

Li Mu counted it, and the remaining wild boar was full of ten carts, which should be more than 2,000 catties. Everyone thought that today might be their lucky day, as long as they can exchange wild boar meat for money, they will have food, and they should be able to survive until this year's autumn harvest.

Li Mu looked at and listened to the excitement of everyone, and thought that the Chinese people were afraid that they would be the easiest to satisfy in the world. As long as they are given a bite to eat and a place to live, they will definitely be the most docile people in the world.

Li Mu couldn't help but think of his own situation, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in this era of golden iron horses and bloody rain, he used to yearn for it, but now he can't even see his heart clearly.

It is now the fifth year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty, that is, May of 182 AD. The Yellow Turban Rebellion officially broke out in March of the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty, that is, in March 184 AD.

In three years, the world will be chaotic, and this big man will be chaotic. At that time, Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were frequently wars, and the Han and Qiang melee in Liangzhou were relatively calm but not peaceful.

Where do you go from here? At the end of the Han Dynasty, the gate valve system prevailed, whether it was to defect to Cao Cao or Liu Bei, his own background was destined to become cannon fodder on their way to compete for the world.

If you want to be a common person, you will face displacement at any time and let people eat you.

Suddenly, a bold idea poured into Li Mu's mind, to dominate the world and be the master of his own destiny.

Thinking of this, even Li Mu himself laughed, he has no money, and he has no one, what can he use to dominate the world? What capital does it have to share with the world's leaders?

Just as Li Mu was deep in thought, Niu Er patted him on the shoulder and said, "Li Gongzi, I see that you are frowning and smiling bitterly, are we not sure about this deal?" After yesterday's hunting of wild boars, Niu Er is now obedient to Li Mu and admires the five-body surrender.

Li Mu smiled: "Brother Niu, don't worry, I was just distracted just now, our business will definitely be successful." Niu Er suddenly seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and one of them smirked there.

Li Mu watched the sky gradually brighten and asked, "Brother Niu, how far are we from Yuanping County?" ”

Niu Er replied: "Li Gongzi, it's not far away, and you will go to Yuanping County after crossing the mountain in front." Subsequently, Li Mu and Niu Er and Zhang San went to the mountains together.

Li Mu now knows that the original name of Niu Er's village is Drinking Horse Village, and according to legend, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State during the Warring States Period, once stationed troops there and drank horses in the small river next to their village, so the village got its name.

This drinking horse village originally belonged to Dai County, but it was only more than 40 miles away from Yuanping County, but it was nearly 80 miles away from Dai County. In addition, Yuanping County is richer than Dai County, and businessmen come and go frequently.

Just when everyone was in full swing, I don't know who shouted, Yuanping County arrived.

Li Mu hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, four or five miles away, he could vaguely see a city wall, and the hazy city walls and towers came into view. At this time, Li Mu was also excited, this is a real city wall, it is difficult to see in his original era, and this is also the first city he saw in the late Han Dynasty.

Li Mu and everyone pushed the cart to the city gate, the closer they got to the city gate, the more people rushed to the market in twos and threes, some carrying firewood, some carrying vegetables, and some carrying all kinds of mountain goods. Everyone was lined up to enter the city, and finally it was Li Mu's turn to their convoy, and the four soldiers who were originally standing at the gate of the city, seeing that the convoy was a bit huge, couldn't help but be vigilant, only to see the two older ones among them coming over, naturally they had to ask and check.

Li Mu glanced at Zhang San, Zhang San immediately understood, put the prepared twenty coins in the hands of one of the soldiers with a smile, and said flatteringly: "The two military masters have also checked it, and this car is some mountain goods from our village." When the soldier saw the money, he was no longer embarrassed, but said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't block the people who enter the city behind." ”

When I entered the city gate, the streets on both sides of the city were already full of stalls, and the shouts and shouts were endless. Li Mu looked at the vibrant scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is probably the last prosperity and peace of the empire.

Zhang San is also used to wandering around, and he is familiar with Yuanping County. After a while, Zhang San took everyone to Nanshi, which is a gathering place for the buying and selling of mountain goods. The group found a stall, placed the wild boar on the straw mat, and began to shout.

After a while, Li Mu saw a man who looked like a housekeeper from a wealthy family in his fifties walking to the stall, and he didn't speak, but just picked up a piece of wild boar meat and looked at it and smelled it. Then he asked, "Who is in charge of your stall?" ”

Li Mu stepped forward and replied, "It's me." ”

The housekeeper glanced at Li Mu and was suspicious: "Young man, don't lie to me, an old man, I don't think your meat is like a wild boar, but like a domestic pig." ”

Li Mu was not annoyed, but chuckled: "The old man already has the answer in his heart, so why bother me and other rural people?" ”

The housekeeper saw Li Mu refusing his face, and then said in an unkind tone: "You said that wild boar is wild boar?" This is not a live pig, how do I know if it is wild boar or domestic pork? ”

Li Mu chuckled again: "Boy, I am clumsy, and I can see that your old man is also a well-informed master. In appearance, this wild boar has much more lean meat than that of domestic pigs, and the fat is only as thick as a finger. Moreover, the wild boar is bright red in color, the meat quality is tighter than that of domestic pigs, and the feel is not as greasy as domestic lard. Moreover, the fishy smell of this wild boar meat is slightly heavier than that of domestic pork. If the old man really doesn't believe it, he can compare the pork from the stall next to him, and he will naturally see it. ”

Just when Li Mu and the housekeeper couldn't hold each other, I saw a person who was about fifty years old and also dressed as a housekeeper, stood up and said with a smile: "Old Wang, I don't think you can take advantage of it today." ”

The Wang housekeeper laughed dryly: "Lao Zhang, you also come to buy meat?" ”

Steward Zhang snorted and asked Li Mu, "What is the price of your wild boar?" ”

Li Mu Zhengse said: "Five dollars a catty." ”

Steward Zhang groaned, "Isn't it a little expensive?" ”

Li Mu listened to Steward Zhang's tone, there was a play! Then he replied: "It depends on how much you want, five dollars under 500 catties, four coins below 1,000 catties, and three coins above 1,000 catties." ”

Steward Zhang smiled: "Young people are quite good at doing business!" Li Mu chuckled lightly and said a few words modestly.

I saw Steward Zhang say with a straight face: "Then I want a thousand catties, I don't know how much money I want to give you?" ”

Li Mu blurted out: "Four thousand dollars." ”

Steward Zhang was surprised, and hurriedly asked the bookkeeper next to him to calculate, and the bookkeeper shook a few times and said, "Steward Zhang, it's really four thousand dollars." ”

The housekeeper was tempted, and said, "Eight hundred catties? ”

Li Mu said: "Three thousand two hundred dollars." ”

The bookkeeper was again upside-down and said, "It's true." ”

Steward Zhang tried a few more times, and Li Mu blurted out. Steward Zhang couldn't help but be respectful, and said: "Young man, you must have read the book, our Zhang Yuanwai family is lacking a big account clerk, if this gentleman is interested, you can give it a try." ”

Li Mu also said respectfully: "Thank you Steward Zhang for your love, let me consider this matter." ”

Steward Zhang immediately said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Then he turned to the bookkeeper and said, "Give this gentleman four thousand dollars." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Boy, thank you Mr. Zhang for taking care of me." Then Li Mu asked Niu Er to find a few people to help Steward Zhang deliver the meat to Zhang Yuanwai's house.

The rest of the onlookers saw that Steward Zhang was so refreshing, and they no longer hesitated. Steward Wang asked for 500 catties, and Steward Li asked for 500 catties. The remaining 400 catties of wild boar were also snapped up. Even those wild boar skins were sold for five hundred dollars. It seems that today is a lucky day, earning 11,500 dollars.

After Niu Er and the others came back, Zhang San took everyone straight to the grain store. After weighing the prices of rice, millet, wheat, corn and millet, everyone agreed to buy wheat. The price of wheat was 200 yuan per stone, and Li Mu suggested that each family buy 2 stones first, in this case, it would cost 34 stones, and a total of 6,800 yuan would be spent.

Originally, Li Mu wanted to divide the remaining 4,700 yuan equally. However, everyone disagreed, and felt that the rest of the money should be handed over to Li Mu. In the end, Li Mu gave each of the others two hundred yuan, and left one thousand five hundred yuan for himself.

After everyone loaded the grain into the car, Li Mu saw that it was noon and asked Zhang San to find a restaurant, and he invited everyone to have a good meal and beat the tooth sacrifice. Everyone excused themselves again, thinking that they should invite Li Mu to dinner. Of course, this meal was finally invited by Li Mu.
