Greetings, respect, and lots of laughter.

The banquet was a success!

That is, he congratulated Li Mu on the completion of the Viscount's Mansion in the fiefdom, and also let the tenants of the fiefdom know Li Mu, the lord of the owner.

The same is also a preliminary understanding of the relationship between each other.

The tenants, seeing that the lord of the proprietor was indeed as rumored, tolerant and merciful, and the worries in their breasts were also slightly settled.

At least for now, it should not be too difficult for these tenants to live on this fiefdom.

What's more, they can also go to work in the mining area during the slack time, earn some copper money and use it for their families, and buy some things for their children and mothers-in-law in the city.

The money earned in the mining area can also be kept for the future for their children, as a dowry or as a daughter-in-law.

This is something that they, the original residents of Shoushan Township, dared not imagine before.

In the past, their lives were all slash-and-burn life, and every day, so to speak, they were hungry and full.

Since last month, the government has announced that this Shoushan Township will become a fief for nobles from the imperial capital Chang'an.

Originally, it was also about to be lost, and the aborigines of the only few acres of thin fields did not expect it.

The nobles who came here did not snatch the fertile land from them, but selectively bought the fertile land in their hands.

The rest of the fields have not been changed much.

This made those aborigines feel like a dream, and what made them dream even more was that the steward sent here by the lord of the owner in advance.

Not only did they not rob their fertile land, but they were also hired to mine, and they were paid for their wages and had a good lunch.

This is unimaginable.

It can be said that this month, the changes in the residents in Shoushan Township can be seen.

These tenants don't want to lose their hard-won changes.

On this day they were informed that a banquet would be held at the Lord's Mansion to celebrate the completion of the Viscount's Mansion with the tenants.

The tenants all came to the banquet with apprehension, and they also took the game they had brought from the mountains to get up this night as a congratulatory gift for the banquet.

Although they were told that they didn't need to bring a gift when they were notified, they still brought it, just hoping that the nobles of the imperial capital who came from afar would not dislike this wild game in the countryside.

To their delight, when they took out these gifts, the owner did not dislike them as they thought, but accepted them with a smile on their faces.

And when they left again, they still had the return gift from the Viscount's Mansion in their hands.

This made the tenants who returned drunk very happy, happy that they had such a good owner.

Some of these tenants came home with the strength of wine and made love with their mothers-in-law, while others kept telling their families about the beauty of the Viscount's Mansion.

provoked the family, listening to the man's fantasy where he was.

The banquet was over, and after seeing off the last drunken tenant, Li Mu was slightly drunk, and with Mei'er's support, he headed towards the hall in the front yard.

Where there is a small banquet, in fact, it is not small, it can only be said that this is a banquet for the people in the Viscount's Mansion.

The banquet just now was an event for Li Mu and the tenants to meet.

The next banquet was a banquet for Li Mu and his own household servants to reward them for their achievements in Quanzhou during this time.

Of course, in this banquet, there were twenty special people, that is, the twenty soldiers who Li Mu seconded from the military department.

They were also in the midst of the feast.

Originally, there was no need for them to participate in this kind of banquet, after all, although they helped in the Quanzhou Viscount's Mansion, they were subordinate to the Ministry of War.

However, there is also a reason why Li Mu asked them to participate in this family banquet.

Since Li Mu arrived in Datang, it has been a long time, and it has been more than half a year, from a lonely family to a huge industry today.

It can be said that it expands very quickly.

However, there is one element in this, which Li Mu almost ignored, that is, to add a guarantee to this property.

That is, force.

You don't need to fight against many troops, you just need to be able to protect the Viscount's Mansion from being threatened in an ordinary battle.

So Li Mu fell in love with these twenty soldiers.

Mei'er once told him that these twenty soldiers could be said to be conscientious and dedicated to protecting Mei'er and their group along the way.

When I arrived in Quanzhou, I have always been responsible for their safety and have never slackened.

I even heard Mei'er say that the reason why these twenty soldiers were seconded from the twelve by the Ministry of War was entirely because they had no relationship, and they were not too happy.

Hearing this reason, this made Li Mu think about it, and wanted to take these twenty soldiers as generals.

The collection of the family will have been in place for a long time in ancient times, not to mention that Li Mu is the viscount of the Tang Dynasty, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mu can have his own armored guard.

Therefore, Li Mu wanted to use these twenty soldiers as the guards of the Viscount's Mansion to increase the protective capacity of the Viscount's Mansion.

With a slight drunkenness, Li Mu came to the atrium in the front yard with the support of Mei'er, and heard it as soon as he stepped into the atrium.

"Greetings, sir."

It turned out that the servants of the house, after being busy with the banquet outside, had already prepared early, and when all the tenants had left the Viscount's Palace, they all gathered in the atrium of the front yard.

Waiting for Li Mu's arrival.

Li Mu nodded, with a slight drunkenness, came to the top place, picked up the wine glass, looked at the people present and said, "Since everyone is from the Viscount's Mansion, I won't say anything." ”

"In the future, the Quanzhou Viscount Mansion will need you to work harder." After speaking, Li Mu drank the wine in the cup.

Seeing this, the servants also drank the wine in their cups.

After drinking, Li Mu looked at the twenty soldiers and raised his glass: "Soldiers, thank you for escorting the people from my house to this Shoushan Township in Quanzhou." ”

"This, sir, we are all acting on orders." One of them, a burly man who looked like a leader, respectfully raised his wine glass and replied.

"Whether I was ordered to do it or not, I drank this wine." Li Mu, who had the heart to accept them, didn't say anything, and drank a glass of wine first.

Seeing this situation, the big man who came out to speak also hurriedly toasted the glass of wine, and the nineteen sergeants below also drank the glass of wine one after another.

Looking at Li Mu's eyes, he was inexplicably a little more radiant.

"You soldiers don't know what to expect in the future."

"Return, sir, after the mission here is completed, we will go back to Chang'an to resume our lives." Dahan replied respectfully.

"This? Why don't you get rid of your duties in the army and enter my Viscount's Mansion? Li Mu knew that these people were just ordinary soldiers, and they didn't have any positions at all.

"Now, sir, I need to discuss it with my brothers." Dahan hesitated, he originally thought it was an ordinary escort mission.

I didn't expect this scene to happen, but Dahan also had this intention in his heart, through the observation of this time, the domestic servants in Li Mu's mansion can be said to be the most relaxed domestic servants he has ever seen.

It's no different from ordinary people, the most are these domestic servants, who were originally slaves, and they just have a deed of sale.

The twenty brothers in the guard are not taken seriously, otherwise, they would not have been transferred to carry out escort duties.

In his thoughts, the big man turned around and took these brothers with him, and whispered a few words in a corner.

Li Mu, who was sitting in the main seat, also looked at the sergeants who were discussing, with a faint expectation in his eyes, and after a while, like twenty sergeants who had discussed the results, came over.

"We, (Iron Bull)... I've seen the lord. The twenty sergeants who walked in front of Li Mu instantly knelt on one knee and hugged their fists.

Li Mu, who was shocked by this sound, reacted instantly, looked at the people kneeling on one knee, and said happily: "Haha, hurry up, when I get to my Viscount's Mansion in the future, I won't do this kneeling ceremony,"

"Thanks, sir." The leading iron bull led the crowd to stand up.

Looking at the twenty sergeants in front of him, who were about to join the Naturalized Viscount, Li Mu said very happily: "Haha, wait for me to send an official letter to Du Ruhui Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and you will officially become the guard of my Viscount's Mansion." ”

The surrounding domestic servants, seeing this, saw that Li Mu had accepted these twenty sergeants as guards, and they were very happy in their hearts, originally they were still worried about what to do with the safety of the Shoushan Viscount's Mansion after these twenty sergeants left.

Unexpectedly, their master actually accepted these twenty sergeants to be the guards in the house, and the servants who had no worries celebrated one after another: "Congratulations to the master, happy to guard." ”

"Ha, ha, ha."
