Chapter 238: Bucking the Trend

That night, Mu Bai wrote a letter to his parents by candlelight.

Early the next morning, before Mu Bai's letter was delivered, Mu Bai's parents Mu Yang and Liu Wu had already come to Zhaoxian Pavilion to see Li Gengyun.

"It seems that your parents are more anxious than you, hehe, please let them in!"

As soon as Li Gengyun and Mu Bai had breakfast, they heard the attendant come to report that it was Mu Bai's parents asking to see him. The recruitment of talents in the Zhaoxian Pavilion only started at noon, and there was nothing to do in the morning, so Li Gengyun asked the attendants to invite Muyang and Liu Fu in.

"The child meets his father and mother!"

When Mu Bai saw Mu Yang and Liu Wu walking in, he also hurriedly saluted the two, and his face also showed an excited smile. He knew that Li Gengyun had learned the reason why his parents hid in Xiangzhou, and with Li Gengyun's discernment, he would definitely be able to see how talented his father was, and he would definitely use it.

"See Mr. Li, the dog is reckless and offended, and I hope Mr. Li Haihan, Mu Yang came today to bring the dog back to educate him well, so as not to cause trouble to Mr. Li!"

"Father!"

Mu Yang's words suddenly surprised Mu Bai, he thought that Mu Yang came this time to want to get acquainted with Li Gengyun by being appreciated by Li Gengyun, so that he would also have a chance to re-emerge and show the people of the Liu family if they had lost their eyes at the beginning. But what he didn't expect was that Mu Yang actually said that he was going to take him away, which was obviously a bit unexpected to him.

"No trouble, no trouble!" Li Gengyun had a smile on his face, he looked at Mu Yang, and also nodded and said, "Brother Mu Yang is really a talent, no wonder he can get the favor of the Liu family, since he is here, I don't know if Brother Mu Yang and his sister-in-law have had breakfast, sit down and eat together, right?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Li said with a smile! In the next cloth, ploughing in Longshang, he should work for Xiangzhou to repay the grace of upbringing! The acquaintance with the clumsy Jing is just a coincidence! Hehe! I won't bother Mr. Li for breakfast. "Mu Yang's age is only in his thirties, but he still looks very young, he looks talented, his eyebrows are heroic, his speech is full of energy, and between his gestures, he can't see the slightest hint of insidious cunning, but more like a frank gentleman. And his wife, Liu Wu, is also as beautiful as a flower, and she can still maintain it so well in her thirties, presumably she is still very happy to live with Muyang all these years, otherwise she would have already looked sad.

"Mu Bai, come home with us!"

Mu Yang rejected Li Gengyun's proposal to leave them for breakfast together, and at the same time whispered to Mu Bai, beckoning him to follow them out of here.

"Father!"

Mu Bai still doesn't understand, Mu Yang wants to take himself away in such a hurry, he doesn't want to give up this opportunity that is about to arrive, as long as he behaves well, he will definitely be reused by Li Gengyun, and when the time comes, isn't it good? Why did his father have to take him away!

"Brother Muyang came here so early in the morning, presumably there must be an emergency at home, Mu Bai, you have to listen to your father." Li Gengyun still had a smile on his face, and at the same time, while eating breakfast, he said to Mu Bai, "How can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and when the wind and clouds change dragons." You're a talent, and sooner or later there will be a time when you will shine, but now your father doesn't know what your situation is. ”

"Brother Muyang, did you say yes?"

"Father?!"

Hearing Li Gengyun say this, Mu Bai also looked at Mu Yang, and at the same time, there was confusion in his eyes, because he saw that his father was frowning at this time, bowing his head and pondering. This is the first time Mu Bai has seen his father frowning since he was a child, when he was kicked out by the Liu family, his father was just expressionless. It seemed that everything was a normal thing for him.

But now Li Gengyun said that he was not a thing in the pool, and even said that his father was waiting for this "wind and cloud", that is to say, Li Gengyun not only saw through himself, but also saw through his father.

"Mr. Li is talented! Admire under it! ”

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yang finally nodded and admitted that he was just waiting for the "wind and clouds".

"Come on, send a breakfast to Brother Muyang and Mrs. Sister-in-law!" Li Gengyun saw Mu Yang standing there and did not leave, and knew that the other party now wanted to know if he could help Mu Bai find the "wind and cloud", so he instructed his attendants to prepare a breakfast for Mu Yang and Liu Wu.

"Please!"

Breakfast was delivered quickly, and Li Gengyun motioned to Muyang and his wife to sit down for breakfast.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee!"

Mu Yang took the catkins and sat down calmly, while Mu Bai returned to the seat next to Li Gengyun and had breakfast together.

Today, Li Gengyun's breakfast is a bowl of rice porridge and two steamed buns, Li Gengyun's food is not large, and Muyang's food is not large, and this ratio is just enough to eat.

"Brother Muyang, where does this rice come from?"

"Xiangzhou Xiangshui rice."

"Where does the flour for this steamed bun come from?"

"Lizhou Yangcheng flour."

"What is the price of rice now? What is the price of flour? ”

Li Gengyun's questions made Mu Bai and Liu Wu a little foggy, and they thought in their hearts, what does Li Gengyun want to do? Is it to do business?

"The price of rice is ten catties of one tael of silver, and three taels of flour are five catties of silver."

"I think Brother Muyang already knows what I want to ask!"

Li Gengyun picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said to Mu Yang with a smile.

"Xiangzhou produces rice, and Lizhou produces wheat. We are in Xiangzhou, and the price of rice and grain is naturally cheap, while flour needs to be transferred from Lizhou, which is naturally much more expensive. What Mr. Li wants to know is, if Xiangzhou wants to take Lizhou, how to start? I wonder if you guessed right? ”

Mu Yang took a sip of porridge, and at the same time told Li Gengyun what he thought in his heart, asking him to verify whether it was correct.

"Why did Brother Muyang ask knowingly? With Brother Muyang's talent, can't he still know what he is thinking? The world is peaceful, and rice and wheat are just transshipment trade, and the price difference is only 30%. But the world was in turmoil, the people were scattered, the fertile land was barren, and the price of food skyrocketed. The people did not have enough to eat, and the difference in the price of rice and wheat was more than six times the difference. Li Gengyun smiled and pointed to the steamed buns and porridge and said, "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Brother Muyang didn't want to be a leader, and he understood it in his heart, but Brother Muyang didn't want to be Song Chen anymore. ”

"Shicai, I originally wanted to ask Brother Muyang what to do if I sent troops to Xiangzhou to Lizhou. But now that Brother Muyang already knows the reason why I asked about the price of food, then Brother Muyang must already have the answer I want. I don't know what Brother Muyang thinks of these four words? ”

As Li Gengyun spoke, he asked Mu Bai to come over and asked him to write four big characters on the blackboard.

"Bucking the trend?!"
