"Amu, congratulations. Erxi jumped down from the boat to say hello. Seeing Li Mu's questioning face, he explained with a smile: "You are still alive after swimming seventeen nautical miles in the sea, shouldn't I congratulate you?"

Li Mu twitched the corners of his mouth and decided not to talk to this thing. He glanced at the busy fishermen around him, and finally locked his eyes on Su Shan, and this clever little ghost immediately trotted to his side, a look of listening, which made Li Mu's depression difficult to vent.

Under the command of Erxi, the fishermen removed all the equipment they had set up camp on the fishing boat, and they planned to build a temporary house here for living in first. The first group of thirty villagers to stay on the island were sturdy men, and their job was to build. When the fishing boats come back here, they have to get all the hardware of the fishing grounds.

Everyone is doing their job, and they are busy and orderly. Li Mu was relieved, he found Erxi and told him that he was ready to return.

"I'll leave the matter here, and I'll surprise you when you come back. Oh, by the way, you'd better bring two more fishing boats with you when you come back, as I just observed that the catch density here is very high. Erxi made a request.

Li Mu understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll let the shipyard build a few more fishing boats as much as possible." In addition, there is one more thing I want you to tell everyone, don't let the people on the island climb over the fence on the other side of the forest, that will cause big trouble. ”

The second liked to listen carefully, and said that he would definitely watch the villagers. Li Mu patted him on the shoulder again, and then boarded the ship and returned home. When he left, he left enough food for the remaining villagers, enough to feed them for a year. Although the place to live may be simpler, the quilt is enough, one is not warm, and some are.

It took three and a half days when the fishing boat came, and it took three and a half days when it went back, the only difference is that when Li Mu used the golden finger of the second heart to hit a full fishing boat, and when the fishing boat returned to the wharf in Huaixi County, there was no place to put feet on the deck.

As soon as the fishing boat landed, it was surrounded by fishmongers. Li Mu asked Su Shan to go to Liu's Mansion to report the news, and at the same time told the fishmongers that the fishing boat was from Liu Yuan's foreign mansion and would not sell the fish. When the fishmongers heard Liu Yuanwai's name, they immediately stopped. Just after two quarters of an hour, Liu Luo and Liu Yuanwai personally led the convoy to come. After the weighing, the catch of this boat turned out to be 35 tons, which was very serious.

Liu Luo's eyes widened, and Li Mu took the opportunity to come up to him: "Second brother, three things to discuss with you." ”

Liu Luo waved his hand, very heroic: "Say!"

"The first thing is the caravan. The 20 truckloads of bait raw materials that have been brought back now may not be enough, and I hope that no less than 100 truckloads will be shipped back every month. ”

Liu Luo only pondered for a moment, calculated the cost of a caravan with a hundred cars, and immediately agreed. He still remembered the promise Li Mu made to him: the bait and the catch are directly proportional. Give me enough bait, and I can make the catch pile up all over Huaixi County.

"The second thing is about the fishing boats. Now I need a lot of fishing boats...... Well, the more the merrier, and I'm not too much for a hundred. ”

Liu Luo was really surprised this time, and after thinking about it carefully, his psychology began to get excited again. Fishing boats represent catches, and if a hundred fishing boats have such a catch income today, he dares to guarantee that he and Li Mu will become the richest men in the Great Xia Dynasty within a year.

"No problem. Ten days, twelve days at most, I'll give you twenty fishing boats. After Liu Luo finished speaking, he explained the matter of the fishing boat to the big housekeeper and asked him to be responsible for the follow-up of this matter. Then he asked, "What's the third thing?"

Li Mu smiled mysteriously, then pulled Liu Luo back to Liu's mansion, and retreated, and then he took out a waist card picked up on the island. Liu Luo just glanced at it, and immediately bounced up from the Taishi's chair. Incoherently pointed to the waist card on the table for a long time and didn't say a complete word: "Where did you come from?!"

"Picked it up. ”

Liu Luo breathed a sigh of relief for a long time and picked up the waist card on the table. The front of the waist card is carved with a lifelike golden dragon, and four large gilded characters are carved vertically in the middle of the back: first-class guard. At the bottom right of the first-class guard are also engraved four small characters: The first year of Great Xia.

"This is this ......" Liu Luo's eyes were full of shock: "The waist card of the guards during the founding period of the Great Xia Empire? Oh my God, it's incredible." But it's a pity ......"

"What is a pity?" Li Mu blinked and looked at him. Liu Luo explained: "Waist cards like this only have collection value, not practical use. To say that it is of practical use is to use it as gold. Oh, like my waist card, ......" Liu Luo took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to Li Mu to watch, and continued: "My waist card is the baron's hereditary waist card, and this waist card was bought by me from a viscount for 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Li Mu exclaimed: "Bought it?

Liu Luo gave him a blank look: "Of course not! I went to Wuya Mansion with that viscount to register when I bought the waist card." If it is the ownerless waist card that can be registered in Wuyafu by yourself, and the owner of this waist card will not be recovered within three years, then you are the owner of this waist card. Contrarily...... Ahem, the Penal Division is not a good place. ”

Li Mu carefully looked at Liu Luo's waist card, the front of this waist card was engraved with the word 'baron', and the lower right corner was engraved with 'hereditary'. The back of the waist card is engraved with the name of the owner of the brand: Liu Luo. Title: Baron. This waist plate is only a symbol of a knighthood, and does not have any official position and rank.

After reading it, Li Mu thought for a while and asked, "Second brother, since you have a knighthood, why don't you have a fief?"

Liu Luo smiled bitterly: "It was said that it was bought, and it only represents a kind of identity, so the imperial court did not stop this kind of buying and selling waist cards." At the same time that the viscount sold the waist card to me, Wuyafu reported it to the imperial court, and the imperial court took back his fief. In addition, there are three types of titles: hereditary, ordinary, and non-hereditary. The hereditary succession can be passed on to future generations an unlimited number of times. Ordinary lineage is passed on to future generations a number of times, and each time the lineage is lowered by one level. Titles that are not hereditary cannot be passed on to future generations, or even bought or sold. ”

"My piece is an ordinary hereditary title, and that viscount was downgraded by one rank when he sold it to me, from viscount to baron. It's already the last title, don't look at the word 'hereditary' at the back, it's the same with or without, and when I die, this waist card will be invalid. ”

Li Mu nodded as if he didn't understand, he suddenly remembered the waist cards of the dragon guards, so he shouted Yahuan to play a basin of water, and then threw a black waist card into the water to wash it clean, and when he took it out, he saw three words carved on the front: descending dragon guard, and then, in the lower right corner of the three words descending dragon guard, six small characters were carved: Duke hereditary replacement.

For nearly a thousand years, the Great Xia Empire has only had hereditary dukes at the founding ceremony. However, no one knows how many there are, and there is no record in the history books, but this matter is well known. Because, these people who were named marquis and worshiped disappeared together with Jingshan, the founding emperor of the South Gate.

Turning over the waist card, the back of the waist card is engraved with the name: Li Zhan Hao and his descendants. Official position: Dragon Descending Guard. Grade: Zhengyi product. Title: Duke hereditary replacement. Underneath these words are then the facial features of the bearer.

Li Mu saw the name trench from Ji Boming's codex, and it turned out that he was from his own family, and his surname was Li. He thought for a while and asked Liu Luo: "Second brother, the owner of this waist card has long been dead, and no one will definitely recover it." Do I want to go to Wuyafu for the record? What do you say? Just say I bought it?"

"Buy, what to buy?" Liu Luo was already completely stunned, and gradually came back to his senses when he heard him speak. Then, he was like a fried cat: "Buy a fart! Third brother, this waist card is handed down by your ancestors!

"Huh?"

"Ahh Now, immediately, go back to Xichao Village, and go and replace the plaque in your house! Change it into the Duke's Palace! No, I'm going to go to the county government office to change your ancestral home. Someone!" Liu Luo threw down the stunned Li Mu, and called the housekeeper directly, saying, "Go, get me a silver ticket." ”

The chief butler looked dazed: "Master, how much do you take?"

Liu Luo glared at him: "How many are there...... How ......" He fell into deep thought before he finished his words, and after a while he waved his hand at the butler and said, "It's okay, you go down first." ”

When the housekeeper left, he said excitedly: "There is no need to change the ancestral home at all, even if you want to check, who can check it for more than 900 years?"

Li Mu still couldn't believe it: "Second brother, I'm going to be an official?"

"Of course, it's still a big official!" Liu Luo smiled and took Li Mu's arm and walked out: "Let's go, the second brother will take you to pretend to be better than to take you to fly." ”

"Where are you going?" Li Mu was a little sober at this time.

"Of course it's the county government!" said that he was about to go out, he was going to make a big fuss about the county government. Li Mu hurriedly pulled him back, and stopped talking, Liu Luo looked at him anxiously. After a long time, Li Mu asked, "Second brother, can you sell a brand like this?" I mean sell it to a foreign surname. ”

Liu Luo's eyes widened: "You're crazy!"

Li Mu asked him to calm down for a while, pulled him to sit down, and he immediately jumped up again: "You can go directly to the face saint with this sign." Do you understand? Go to the face saint and ask for a fief!"

Li Mu supported his forehead and expressed his agreement with his point of view, and then stopped.

In fact, Li Mu asked if this kind of waist card could be sold with a foreign surname, and the main reason was that he still had five identical waist cards in his pocket. Wouldn't it be better if he could sell it for money? However, he thought about it carefully, and the less people knew about this kind of waist card, the better.

Subsequently, Li Mu poured the sixty-four guard waist cards that he picked up from the pile of bones from the sack to the ground, and asked Liu Luo to help sell the stolen goods. Liu Luo clutched his heart and said that it was no problem. It's just that his psychology is silently shouting: When will the waist card be cheap enough to be loaded in a sack?
