"Mu Chonglan?" Xiao Xiantang saw that Mu Chonglan was stunned, so he frowned and called, in Xiao Xiantang's opinion, Mu Chonglan's simple head should not have the possibility of thinking about things.

Mu Chonglan came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Xiantang, and said, "Because of the grace of saving lives, you should promise each other with your body." ”

"......" Xiao Xiantang's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, and swallowed back.

He remembered that when he first saw Mu Chonglan, who was an angry horse in red, in Qingzhou, Mu Chonglan said anything to save his life, but in his impression, he never saved Mu Chonglan.

Mu Chonglan said that it was very young, so he asked Yan Shoucai to investigate Mu Chonglan's past when he was a child, and after the investigation, he was now in the state where Mu Chonglan stayed when he was a child, and he had never been there.

In other words, Mu Chonglan probably recognized the wrong life-saving benefactor, so he was so entangled with him, and even finally did the "life-saving grace, you should promise yourself".

This kind of cognition made Xiao Xiantang feel more or less uncomfortable, because he even began to worry that if Mu Chonglan suddenly reacted one day, he was not his savior, or if the real savior suddenly appeared one day, let Mu Chonglan promise him, would Mu Chonglan's simple brain circuit really do that?

Xiao Xiantang felt that it was very possible, after all, she would like him, it was because she believed that she was her life-saving benefactor, so she liked him so wholeheartedly, even if this liking was a bit messy, and it caused him a lot of trouble and caused a lot of jokes, but it is undeniable that with his cold temperament, if it weren't for Mu Chonglan's fierce pursuit, he would definitely not remember an irrelevant person, let alone talk about it.

Mu Chonglan saw Xiao Xiantang and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"What?" Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan.

"You suddenly don't speak, you're staying." Mu Chonglan pointed out.

When Xiao Xiantang heard this, his eyelids lowered slightly, and then looked at Mu Chonglan. "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of something in the state capital, and I'm just a little worried."

Xiao Xiantang said this, it was completely an excuse, but Mu Chonglan didn't realize this, and when he thought of the situation in the state capital that Xiao Xiantang said, he also felt a little headache. "On the side of the state capital, it is really becoming more and more unscrupulous, they should be hate to surround our Longtong County now, and then rush in and beat us, and, I heard Zhao Yongkang say that these people in Longtong County seem to be very dissatisfied with our closure of the city, and many people say that they want to leave from other places together, thinking that we are crazy."

Mu Chonglan said, lowered his head a little, and then continued: "I really don't understand, the smuggling thing is obviously a violation of the law, why do we just stop them from smuggling, they hate us to the bone, obviously, I have already set up a porridge shop, and also gave them the opportunity to work, as long as they work well, the salary is enough to support the family, but they are still not satisfied, do I have to give them silver like those deceased Dinghai soldiers, will they be satisfied?" Obviously, that's a pension, those soldiers in the Dinghai Navy were killed in battle, and they are all still alive. ”

Mu Chonglan chattered and complained a lot.

Xiao Xiantang listened, and did not interrupt her, and waited for her to finish before she spoke: "You think they are insatiable, it's because they smuggled before, and they earned more than the wages you gave, and they didn't work so hard, so they think that you are cheating them, and they don't think that you are helping them, they are used to such good and bad work." ”

"I see." Mu Chonglan nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Smuggling, that's against the laws of Dasheng, aren't they afraid?" ”

"The state officials are setting fires, what can they do if they light a lamp?" Xiao Xiantang asked rhetorically.

Mu Chonglan was stunned and a little discouraged: "That's right, the state capital has taken the lead in smuggling, and the people naturally feel that Dasheng's law is useless, after all, the officials and masters are all smuggling, who will care if they smuggle or not." ”

"yes." Xiao Xiantang nodded.

Mu Chonglan sighed: "It's not a way to go on like this, you have to think of some way." ”

"This kind of thing, it's better to block it than to smuggle them, not let them smuggle, let them hate you, it's better to simply open up the maritime merchants and let them smuggle." Xiao Xiantang said.

When Mu Chonglan heard Xiao Xiantang's words, his eyes immediately widened, and then he shook his head vigorously: "That's not good." ”

"Why not?" Xiao Xiantang asked a little strangely.

Mu Chonglan puffed out his mouth and said: "Have you forgotten that the sea is chaotic now, a small fight a day, a big fight in three days, and the fight is inextricable, if they go to the sea, they will definitely be harmed by the fish in the pond and snatch the goods." ”

"Isn't it good to bring disaster to the fish in the pond? Wouldn't it be better to snatch the goods? Xiao Xiantang said with a smile.

Mu Chonglan was stunned when she heard Xiao Xiantang saying this kind of "cool talk", but she was not too stupid, she reacted quickly, her eyebrows were also a little relieved, and she said with some joy: "You mean to say that let them go to smuggle at sea, and when they are robbed by the warships on the state capital, we will rescue them, and then let them know that we didn't deliberately prevent them from smuggling, but to protect their safety, and besides, we can also make them hate the state capital that robbed them, right?" ”

"Not what you think." Xiao Xiantang said helplessly.

Mu Chonglan raised his eyebrows: "It's not what I thought?" How's that? ”

"I mean, robbed them." Xiao Xiantang opened his mouth lightly and said his thoughts.

Mu Chonglan: "......"

"How can this be, they are also the people of our Longtong County, and you are the parent official of Longtong County." Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang a little helplessly.

Xiao Xiantang just smiled: "I'm the parent official of Longtong County?" ”

"yes."

"Then look, have they really used me as the parent official of Longtong County?" Xiao Xiantang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This ......" Mu Chonglan blinked, a little unable to come back to her senses, because she thought about it carefully, it seems that these people in Longtong County really didn't take Xiao Xiantang seriously.

"And what are you going to do?" Mu Chonglan asked.

Xiao Xiantang smiled and said, "Do you remember that a while ago, we took two people. ”

Mu Chonglan thought for a while and asked, "The two people you are talking about, but Wu Changsheng from the salt field and Chen Haihan from the dock?" ”
