Chapter 8: The First Try
Su Mu's expression froze, in the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed a big tree, and he was considered an executor in an insider.
Su Mugang wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Xia Yuyu said unashamedly behind the two: "Will 10,000 people be too little?" β
Su Mu and Lu Zixian looked at the door, only to see Mu Yun coming over grinning, his fingers still playing with the hair hanging from his ears.
"Mu Yun, what nonsense are you talking about?" Song Zirui frowned tightly and warned him to stop talking nonsense.
Wait and worship me!
The confident Xia Yuyu laughed out loud and repeated: "I said, will 10,000 people be too little!" β
"Mu Yun, you ......"
"Miss Mu, do you have a way to solve the dilemma?" Lu Zixian's eyes lit up and interrupted Song Zirui's words, and the whole person instantly became energetic.
Xia Yuyu hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a way, but ......" She deliberately lengthened her voice and looked at Su Mu, who was displeased.
"But what?" Lu Zixian asked very urgently.
"It's up to him to help deliver the fold!"
"Him?" Lu Zixian instantly understood, turned his head to look at Su Mu, and no matter what the method was, he immediately knelt on his knees and begged: "Commander, you can pity this Lin'an people." β
Su Mu dragged Lu Zixian with a confused expression, and glared at the mouthy Xia Yuyu, "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense." β
Nonsense? Watt, labor and management are helping you, helping Lin'an. It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people!
In fact, it is not that Su Mu is unwilling to hand over the folds, all his folds have to go through the hands of the governor Wang Quanlin.
Even if he was Wang Quanlin's subordinate, the arrogant Su Mu had never asked Wang Quanlin for anything.
Besides, the excerpt is passed upwards, and it has to go through the General Administration, the clerical office for the record, the emperor's imperial review, the cabinet vote, and finally the emperor's approval.
The people of Lin'an may not be able to survive the long process.
Su Mu looked at Lu Zixian, who was in tears, groaned, and hesitated: "Then you have to talk about your method." β
She didn't expect Su Mu, who was displeased, to have such a gentle side.
"Mu Yun?"
"Huh?" Xia Yuyu was startled, looked at Song Zirui, who called her, relieved herself, and said slowly: "Actually, the solution is very simple, let some people go somewhere else." β
Su Mu, who didn't have much hope, turned even more ugly when he heard this. Last night, he and Song Zirui explained to her that the difficulties and realities of immigration, and the two of them really regretted it at this time, so they shouldn't let her speak.
"Huh? What an expression this is. β
Xia Yuyu paused and continued: "If you let people with labor go out to work. They will be guided by a special person to make them enter the city smoothly. β
Lu Zixian looked at Mu Yun curiously and asked, "Then what?" β
"First, it can ensure that they have food, second, they can earn some money to supplement their families, and third, the rest of the people must have enough to eat this twenty quintals of rice a day."
"The solution is good, but the land in other counties is limited, and they have no place to stay." Lu Zixian worried.
Hey, no wonder there's a word called "old-fashioned", which is really a workaround that I don't understand at all.
"I have also thought about this, and all the places that shelter the victims of the disaster must be provided with shelter, three meals, and wages."
"Isn't that going too far? In charge of food and shelter, and pay wages, who will ask them to work? Song Zirui immediately retorted.
"Listen to me first," Xia Yuyu emphasized, "the money for three meals and shelter can be deducted from the salary, and all merchants who employ the victims of the disaster enjoy the right of first refusal." β
Lu Zixian looked at her as if he understood whether he understood or not, and repeated: "The right of first refusal? β
Xia Yuyu cleared his throat, looking at the puzzled looks of several people, and felt a slight sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"The right to buy and sell property, land in priority over others."
Seeing that a few people still hadn't turned a corner, she was a little anxious, so she had to give an example to herself, "If I'm worth five taels of silver, and Lord Lu, you and Su Mu both want to buy me, but you don't have the right of first refusal, Su Mu does, then I can only sell to Su Mu!" β
Lu Zixian suddenly realized, let out a long "oh", and said approvingly: "This method is really good." β
After the proud Xia Yuyu got the praise, she put on a look, how about it? The posture of the old lady is not a cow.
"Command makes you ......"
"Lord Lu, there is no need to say more, Su Mu knows what to do." Su Mu interrupted him, stopped when he walked to Mu Yun's side, attached to his ear, and whispered, "Will five taels of silver be too little?" β
Is he teasing me? Xia Yuyu's face turned red to his neck all of a sudden, and he was even more happy in his heart.
Could it be that Su Mu also likes me, doesn't he like Mu Yun? Isn't that a big bargain?
Xia Yuyu quickly analyzed the flirtation from the horseback riding incident to the hanging soup to the present, and she was even more sure in her heart that Su Mu would definitely have a crush on Mu Yun!
I'm obedient, where is this Mu Yun sacred, since he can be favored by Su Mu, a sheepdog?
Song Zirui didn't have time to accompany her to think nonsense, and rushed to the side to chat with Fusheng and shouted at Jiangling: "Jiangling is gone!" β
Jiang Ling ran back to the two of them and didn't forget to say a few words, "These Taoist priests are really elm heads." β
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Yun asked.
Jiang Ling complained angrily, "Isn't it just for him to teach me some spells, pushing back and blocking." Do you think you're so great, and you have no quarrel with the world when you wear white clothes? β
Seeing that he was so embarrassed and angry, Mu Yun couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, which made Jiang Ling even more unhappy, and he pouted and stood in place.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while." Mu Yun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and pulled him up and said, "Okay, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with Su Mu." β
Back at the yamen, Su Mu sat at the table for a long time, and the hand holding the pen stopped in mid-air.
There is no such precedent in the imperial court, and if it is done, it will be a meritorious thing.
If he is defeated, he can only cut down Lu Zixian's family to atone for his crimes, or cut himself to prevent the family from being implicated.
After pondering for a long time, he put down the pen in his hand and took the handkerchief to wipe away the sweat stains in his palm.
Originally, Su Mu was also a decisive person, never asking the reason, like a machine of the imperial court, completing the task as quickly as possible.
The reason why it has become like this now is that he knows very well in his heart that it is all related to what Mu Yun said to him before he was injured.
"Here you go!"
The next day, Su Mu handed a copy of the fold to Mu Yun, who was wandering around boringly.
"Written so quickly?"
Xia Yuyu took the fold in surprise, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but nod and praise: "Sure enough, it's good." β
"What are you looking at?" Gangneung came out of nowhere, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.
Xia Yuyu hid behind him on one side, "You can't understand!" β
"There's nothing in this world that I don't understand." After that, he paused and asked Su Mu, "Right?" Big nephew. β
Su Mu didn't reply to him, and said to Mu Yun: "It's okay to show him." β
"Did you hear it, my eldest nephew has spoken."
"Here you go, here you go!" Xia Yuyu slapped the fold into his palm.
Jiang Ling, who was originally lazy, became shocked when he saw the excerpt, "Su Mu, you are meddling, have you forgotten the words of the Grand Governor?" β
"Nope."
"Since you don't have them, you shouldn't care about them, the court can't control them, what are you doing blindly?"
I rub, in this world, it is because there are too many people in Jiangling, and when encountering things, he always looks like "nothing to do with himself".
"Gangneung, do you still have any sympathy?" Xia Yuyu asked, "Are you just watching them starve to death?" β
"What does it matter to me whether they starve to death or not? All I know is that we're here to track down military rations. β
Jiang Ling suddenly stopped nagging, looked at Mu Yun, and let out a long "oh~", "I know, it must be your ghost attention again, Su Mu doesn't have so much heart to care about the east and west." β
Gangneung, you little Yaga! Why are you so selfish, look at how the old lady cleans you up.
"You ......" Xia Yuyu was about to scold, but when he saw Su Mu looking at his eyes, he could only suppress his anger and asked, "Jiangling, if they are your relatives, don't you care?" Xia Yuyu's angry face turned white and red.
"Are they your relatives? Do you know them well? Know who they believe in? Where do you live? How many people are in the family? Is it good or evil? β
"You...... You ......" Xia Yuyu didn't expect that the argument power of Jiangling was no less than that of the aunt at the mouth of the vegetable market.
"Don't you think you're naΓ―ve?" Gangneung angrily threw the fold to the ground.
"Gangneung!"
Jiang Ling was stunned and looked at Su Mu with a calm face.
"Pick it up!"
"Big nephew, what do you say?"
"Pick it up, and you will personally send it back to Shengjing!"
Wow! This move is simply not too cool, looking at Jiang Ling's angry appearance, it is really happy.
"I'm not going!" Although it was a rebellion, the voice was not half confident.
Su Mu's silent gaze kept staring at him, and Jiang Ling deliberately avoided his gaze.
For a moment, Jiang Ling was really uncomfortable, so he picked up the fold on the ground extremely reluctantly, and replied dissatisfiedly: "Okay, okay, I'm satisfied." β
"On behalf of the people of Lin'an, thank you uncle." Su Mu rarely thought of him and thanked him.
"Alright, don't say it!" Jiang Ling looked reluctant, "I'll send it right away." β
Jiangling is like this, he doesn't want to, but as long as it is Su Mu's business, he will be reluctant to make it difficult, not because of his relatives, but because their honor and disgrace are one.
"Can he?" Xia Yuyu looked at Jiang Ling, who was angrily shaking his sleeves, and his heart beat a drum.
"Absolutely!" Su Mu is very sure.
Song Zirui, who had been standing in the corner, also listened to the conversation of several people for a long time, and he let out a long sigh.
He didn't step forward, nor did he express his opinion, he believed in Su Mu's choice.
Mori Kyoto Governor's Office
Jiangling was dusty all the way, and he didn't care about the attendant at the door to report, so he rushed in.
Wang Quanlin was burning incense and supporting the qin, and the sound of the piano was beautiful, like the sound of heaven, and he was leisurely.
Jiang Ling, who suddenly felt a little reckless, took a few steps back, sorted out his clothes through the veil, and then stepped forward and arched his hand: "Jiang Ling has seen the Metropolitan Governor." β
Wang Quanlin's raised hand was slightly stunned, ignored him, and continued to play.
Jiang Ling didn't dare to disturb rashly, so he could only stand behind him respectfully.
After a long time, Wang Quanlin lightly raised his hand and pressed it on the slightly trembling strings, and asked slowly: "You are not in Lin'an, what are you doing when you come back?" β
Jiang Ling hurriedly explained, "The subordinates are entrusted by the commander, and there is a fold I want to ask the governor of the capital to present to the emperor. β
Wang Quanlin smiled speechlessly and shook his head, stretched out his hand, without a little emotional ripple, "Take it." β
"Yes!" Jiang Ling handed out the fold with some confusion. In the nature of the Grand Dukas, he should be rebuked.
Wang Quanlin still turned his back to Jiangling, opened the fold and looked back and forth a few times, and asked in shock, "Is it Mu Yun's idea?" β
"Yes and no."
"Huh!" The Metropolitan Governor snorted coldly and pondered for a moment, "She didn't ask you anything?" β
Jiang Ling took a breath and asked timidly, "You mean Mu Yun?" β
"Who else but him?"
Mu Yun did ask himself, but he promised that he would never talk about it to anyone, and he was the Grand Duke.
Jiang Ling shook his head a little nervously and denied it, "No...... No, he didn't ask. β
Hearing this, Wang Quanlin slowly got up, walked to Jiang Ling's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Jiang Ling, do you know why you are not as good as Su Mu?" β
