Early the next morning, the capital of Shinno Prefecture.

Li Mu crawled out of the quilt early, walked out of the inn, and came to the blacksmith shop. Jing Ke was stunned: "Boss, are you here so early?"

Li Mu glanced at the queue that had begun to line up early in the morning, walked straight into the blacksmith shop, and instructed: "Post a notice, the blacksmith shop recruits coolies, and all those who have the strength and strength to do heavy physical work are all necessary." ”

Jing Ke followed behind Li Mu, "How much is the monthly money?"

Li Mu stopped, thought about it, and took another step: "It's the same as Hai'an Country, two taels a month!"

"So high!" Jing Ke exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly followed: "Boss, this money is a bit high!

Li Mu was in a bad mood, the treasures under the government office, millions of well, maybe tens of millions of silver were thrown away, would he still care about these two or two?

"Boss ......"

Li Mu waved his hand: "According to what I said, the monthly money will be given two taels." For some special positions, where the core technology of forging is involved, the monthly salary is five taels. However, their families must all be sent to Hai'an Country. There is no restriction on personal freedom, but you can't leave Hai'an Country!"

Jing Ke didn't dare to insist any longer, and hurriedly went down to write a notice. Li Mu found Zhang Dazhu and said straight to the point: "Old Zhang, you may not have time to study the new style of horse chopping knife." ”

"Boss, what's the situation?"

Li Mu walked to the back of the bookcase, and Zhang Dazhu consciously stood up and gave him his place. Li Mu sat down with a grin, "Give you three days to prepare, we will build a holy land for striking iron here!"

Zhang Dazhu didn't react for a while. Li Mu continued: "You guys now stop all the work in hand, everyone, all start building, the equipment needed to forge weapons Well, what was your output in the previous day?"

"Less than a hundred blades. ”

"Less than 100 stems, well, I want to increase the yield tenfold, and also, the quality to the next level. ”

"Ten, ten-fold ......" Zhang Dazhu's eyes widened. Li Mu nodded and said, "Give me all the money you have in your hand now." ”

Zhang Dazhu trotted all the way to the corner of the room, opened a dark compartment, and inside the dark compartment, a small box lay quietly. Zhang Dazhu took the small box and put it on the table, opened it, and a thick stack of silver tickets was presented in front of him.

"A total of 173,000 taels"

Li Mu stretched out his hand into his arms, took out a silver ticket of 100,000 taels and put it in, closed the small box again, he put the small box under his armpit, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "According to what I just said, build the equipment." In addition, if you lack anything or something, go to Xiulin, and he will buy it for you. ”

"Good ......"

Li Mu returned to the blacksmith shop, and as soon as he arrived at the main gate, he met a person...... One, a middle-aged man in a standard military uniform.

The man bowed slightly: "Lord Duke." ”

Li Mu immediately remembered that the one who was blocked by Jing Ke last night was the commander of the Fucheng garrison!

"General Luo Ling?"

"It's me. ”

Li Mu looked at the noisy environment around him and made a gesture of please: "Let's go to the inn room to talk." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke, please. ”

Coming out of the blacksmith shop, turning a corner is the inn. The two came to Li Mu's room, and after taking a seat, Luo Ling got straight to the point and said, "Lord Duke, I want to buy standard equipment." Not only weapons, but also armor. ”

To Luo Ling's surprise, Li Mu nodded in agreement without thinking: "Yes!"

"I, I want 3,000 sets of ......"

Things were going so smoothly that Luo Ling didn't know how to go on.

Li Mu shrugged: "No problem." ”

Luo Ling: "......"

After a long time, Luo Ling said: "My lord, the price is ......."

Li Mu suddenly smiled: "I'll give you 100,000 taels!"

Luo Ling: "......"

Luo Ling has been in charge of the army for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered his favorite standard equipment. However, for more than half a month, he has not been able to get what he wanted. Today, when he finally got what he wanted, he felt like his whole body was messy.

Li Mu said with a smile: "General Luo Ling, the transaction of three thousand sets of standard equipment is just a vassal of these 100,000 taels of silver. I want to buy a property of 100,000 taels of silver in Fucheng. ”

Luo Ling pondered for a moment and finally sorted out the cause and effect. He smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Duke, I don't know what you want to do in such a large area, but I want to warn you that this is not your territory. ”

"I know. However, I believe that Hai'an Kuni can become good friends with Luohua Palace. ”

Luo Ling was silent, he couldn't do it as the master of the Falling Flower Palace.

Li Mu didn't rush him, picked up the teapot, and filled the cups of the two with tea. It wasn't until a pot of tea was about to bottom out that Luo Ling said: "The northeast corner of Fucheng is a refugee area, which covers a large area. If the Duke can settle those refugees, I can make the decision to allocate the entire refugee area to the adults. ”

"How big is the area?"

"Two thousand houses. ”

"That's enough!" Li Mu decided, directly took out the 100,000 taels of silver ticket given to him by Shangguan Lei Ba from the small box, and handed it to Luo Ling: "From now on, that place is mine." ”

Luo Ling took the silver ticket with a wry smile. Li Mu looked at him as if he smiled: "Didn't the Falling Flower Palace send you a message, such as about the treasure?"

Luo Ling was stunned, shook his head again and again, and said in a firm tone: "No!"

Li Mu looked at him with a smile: "You will receive the news soon...... Well, the location is just below your barracks, and there's a treasure that's been buried for more than a thousand years!"

"Suck !!," Luo Ling gasped.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was Han Xiulin's voice: "My lord, there is a general looking for General Luo Ling." ”

With a smile on Li Mu's face, Luo Ling strode to the door and opened the door. An officer waiting outside hurriedly stepped forward and said something in his ear, and slowly, Luo Ling's face became ugly. After the officer finished speaking, Luo Ling waved his hand and asked him to go down. Luo Ling stood at the door for a moment and returned to the room.

At this time, his gaze at Li Mu was full of disbelief. After another short silence, Luo Ling suddenly smiled: "Lord Duke, did you already know that there is a treasure under the mansion?"

Li Mu shrugged: "The news you got leaked from my Haiping Kingdom. ”

Luo Ling was a little embarrassed. Li Mu said indifferently: "This batch of treasures, your Luohua Palace and Longxiao Temple, as well as the Demon Sword Gate, whoever has the strength will get it, I will not touch half of it." ”

Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have any conflict with the young archduke. Even if the camp he belongs to is the Falling Flower Palace, however, the Falling Flower Palace only has the right to manage here, and in Luo Ling's psychology, he may not necessarily position himself as the person of the Falling Flower Palace.

At noon, Li Mu ordered the inn to make a sumptuous lunch for Luo Ling. After being full of wine and food, Luo Ling returned to the barracks and dealt with the affairs of the refugee area for Li Mu.

In the inn, Li Mu found Han Xiulin and stuffed him with the small box he took from Zhang Dazhu: "From now on, you and Zhang Dazhu will jointly manage the blacksmith shop." He's in charge of production, you're in charge of sales, is there a problem?"

Han Xiulin shook his head excitedly: "Thank you for your trust!
