Chapter 56 Quid pro quo

Qin Mu picked up a steamed bun, pointed to the dish and said, "Ruoqin, these are all prepared for you with a lighter taste, you can eat more." ”

"Hmm." Ruoqin pursed her lips in response.

Xiaoqing had already begun to eat the vegetables in a big gulp, nibbling on the steamed buns, and said vaguely: "It's so delicious." ”

"Do you want to give it a try and change the taste?"

Shangguan Wan'er somehow unconsciously picked up chopsticks and ate a fried spinach.

The aroma is so strong that it looks like a dish made by dozens of processes.

"It's... How is it so delicious. ”

Qin Mu smiled slightly, he has been cooking by himself since he was in junior high school, to be precise, he is a left-behind child, his grandparents are old at home, and he takes care of the cooking.

It can't be said to be delicious in the world, it is also a more delicious home-cooked food.

In the Tang Dynasty, where you can eat with a little salt, it is also a different flavor.

After eating, Qin Mu took Shangguan Cairen to the side room last time.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me this time?" Qin Mu said straight to the point.

"I have a task for you."

"Mission?" Qin Mu chuckled, "Who said I was a profiteer?" ”

"I apologize to you for what I said before, I am not qualified to comment on what you do and what you do, I agree to reveal something that can be revealed last time I said the sharing news." Shangguan Wan'er said seriously.

"Well, well, let's talk about it first."

"The queen of heaven needs auspiciousness, all you have to do is to let the phoenix descend on Luoyang City."

"Xiangrui?" Qin Mu snorted coldly, "It's a god!" Isn't it just to mythologize yourself and then make a name for yourself on the throne? Talented, you also know that there is no such thing as a phoenix. ”

"Of course I know this, so I'm coming to you." Shangguan Wan'er looked at him with sincere eyes.

"You really regard me as a fairy, I'm just an ordinary person, I want the people of the entire Luoyang City to see it in the daytime, and the body is huge, and it flies in the sky, if it is small, people still think it is a mosquito..."

"As far as I know, you have recruited a lot of blacksmiths recently, although I don't know what you are messing with, but as long as you have needs, I will report to the queen of heaven and will do my best to meet you."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Mu showed a profiteer's smile, "Oh, I said it earlier, I almost lost my life for that bit of iron!" ”

"Then you have a way to make it?" Shangguan Wan'er asked tentatively.

"There is naturally a way, but it is too time-consuming and financial, and I don't have the manpower and time to ,... now" Qin Mu looked at the sky and looked like he didn't want to do it.

Shangguan Wan'er suppressed her anger and increased again, "Then you say the conditions first." ”

"Talent is refreshing, first, I need mountains."

"Mountain? Where is the mountain? Is it Longmen Mountain in Fifty Miles? ”

"That mountain is the place where this auspicious is implemented, I want you to send me the mountain of Hedong Road, I want three mountains to write in my name and ask me to pick them."

Hedong Province is now Shanxi, which was not a major coal mining area during the Tang Dynasty and was still undeveloped.

"Yes, the queen of heaven will agree."

"Second, I need a hundred tailors and artisan painters who can tie paper people."

"Are you trying to be a fake phoenix? Well, good way. ”

"What is false and true, what you want is the effect, as long as the people think it is true, it is true."

"That's sure to satisfy you."

"Thirdly, I want to be able to buy mines from the Salt and Iron Division in the future, of course, I will not touch gold mines and salt." Qin Mu explained.

In any dynasty, gold and salt were things that could not be touched.

"Yes, what else?"

"I still need land, a vacant land of hundreds of acres, which is near Longmen Mountain, and I can use it indefinitely after using it."

"There is no land over there, it's just woods and grass, so I should be able to agree."

"As for the rest of the transportation costs, I don't want to pay for it." Qin Mu pretended to be at a loss.

"Then I want to make a condition, until you finish it, I will live in your house, keep an eye on you at all times, three meals a day and accommodation, you must meet my requirements."

"OK, OK, welcome to stay in my small temple." Qin Mu got up and showed a welcoming posture.

“OK? What do you mean? ”

"It's good, it's a foreign language, that's it." Qin Mu gestured with his right hand and made an OK.

Shangguan Wan'er learned according to Qin Mu's appearance, and when she saw Qin Mu's appearance, she instantly put down her hand in embarrassment.

"We'll see you again in three days." Shangguan Wan'er got up and left the room.

"Okay, talented, waiting for you at any time."

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Qin Mu jumped and jumped in the room.

"Three mountains! Three coal mountains! Get rich! Hahahaha! ”

With these three coal mountains, Qin Mu's subsequent steelmaking and the subsequent delivery of fuel to the steam engine will be solved, and in the future, energy will be more precious than gold.

Luoyang, in the White Horse Temple, Xue Huaiyi was meditating in the Buddhist hall, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, a man in a black robe with a scar on his face walked in.

"Boss, that Shangguan Wan'er went straight to the Li Mansion after leaving the palace, and she went to find Qin Mu."

Xue Huaiyi turned around with a murderous face, "It's Qin Mu again!" I didn't settle accounts with him last time I was cheated by him, but now it's good. ”

"Shall we—" The man gestured with a motion of wiping his neck.

"No, this matter is implicated in the Queen of Heaven, and any mistake will have a far-reaching impact in the future, so you can send a few people into the Li Mansion to observe Qin Mu's situation at any time."

"It's... This is not easy to enter, the recruitment standards of the Li Mansion are too high, and there are only six families in their house. ”

Xue Huaiyi slapped him, "You waste, you have too many good days, you forgot what you used to do!" ”

The man trembled and knelt on the ground with a smile, "Okay, boss, I'll do it!" ”

Qin Mu and Shangguan Wan'er were like two thorns in Xue Huaiyi's heart, one was to win favor with the queen, and the other was to make him suffer a big loss.

"What a dog man and a woman!"

Xue Huaiyi suddenly thought of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a thought sprouted in his heart.

Near Tianshan Village in Luoyang, Xue Huaiyi's father took a few people to the wall of the workshop that Qin Mu had just built to look inside.

"Muramasa, it looks like a stove is being built inside."

Feng Gang hooked his head and leaned in the gap to see a group of people walking back and forth inside, and there was an old man with five or six scholars talking and pointing to the stove.

"Are you going to cook?"

"I know that old man as a blacksmith from Luoyang City." A villager said.

"Humph! Dare to raise a stove in my territory and look for death! ”

"Muramasa, what should we do now?"

"Wait, wait until the evening."
