"Madam, the food for this month has been shipped. This is the receipt. Please give me a receipt to receive the woolen cloth."
The steward of the Li family respectfully handed over the stack of orders in his hand.
The maid standing aside, Amei's fellow countryman Axiang, quickly took it from the steward's hand and brought it to the table above.
Li Mu sat on it, but didn't even look at the steward below. He just picked up the receipt, separated it one by one, took out a thin book, and carefully checked the records on it.
It wasn't until he finished checking that he nodded, then carefully took out a notebook, filled in the relevant amounts, and signed his name at the bottom.
Finally, I picked it up and looked at the name below carefully, with a satisfied smile on my face.
If this piece of paper does not have the words "Li Mu", it is worthless, but if it has these two words, it is worth thousands of pieces of woolen cloth.
This feeling is really wonderful!
When he looked down at the steward, the smile on Li Mu's face suddenly faded and he handed it to Ah Xiang, signaling her to pass it to the steward.
After the steward took it, he repeatedly said, "Thank you, Steward Li."
"I'm just following the rules, no need to thank me."
Although Li Mu's face was slightly tired, it was full of satisfaction.
Today was the day to settle woolen cloths for the families who were transporting grain to Nanxiang, so she was a little busy and tired, but she enjoyed this feeling extremely.
"Jincheng, is there any news?"
As usual, the Li family's settlement was arranged at the end. This not only showed her fairness, but also gave her time to ask for news from the family.
"Back to my wife, it's just like usual, nothing serious."
The steward of the Li family glanced at Axiang, then at Li Mu, and said respectfully.
"to be honest."
Li Mu's face suddenly turned cold. Does this steward seem to want to bring the clan's tricks here?
"Yes Yes."
Although there was still a chill, sweat suddenly broke out on the steward's forehead.
The hair cloth was cut off for two months last time. After my ex returned to Jincheng, he was beaten until he could barely breathe.
When Li Mu's tone turned cold, how could the steward not be afraid?
"Back to my wife, the price of food in Jincheng has increased a lot."
"Why?"
"I heard that the imperial court is preparing to send a large army south to quell the rebellion."
When Li Mu heard this, his expression condensed and he asked, "What is the clan's plan?"
"Many people in the clan also want to raise prices."
As the steward said, he glanced at Li Mu secretly, and saw that her expression became increasingly gloomy, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"go on."
"Yes, but the head of the family disagrees. He said that the price of the grain shipped to Nanxiang cannot be raised, and it should be delivered at the price of last month."
Hearing this, Li Mu's face looked better, he nodded and said, "It's better that Taigong is sensible."
"You bring me a message to Grandpa. The food saved by the clan should be enough for food. Just send the rest over here. Don't sell it to others. Do you understand?"
If it had been the past, Li Mu would not have even the slightest say in his life-long affairs, let alone saying these words.
But at this time, she was in charge of the entry and exit of felts in the workshop. Not to mention the sixth house of the Li family, anyone who brought food in exchange for felts had to go through her hands, so she had the confidence to speak.
"Yes, I will definitely take my wife's words back word for word."
After hearing this, the steward sighed in his heart, even in the clan, only Lady Mu dared to say this to the head of the family.
Madam Mu, it’s really becoming more and more difficult for people to understand.
"Also," Li Mu sneered, "tell Grandpa, if he can't bear it, send those who want to raise prices to me, and I can help discipline them."
The steward shivered slightly, thinking that Madam Mu was not only incomprehensible, she was like a different person.
After letting the Li family take care of things, Li Mu took out the settlement slips from each family and sorted them out, and said to Axiang, "Go to the school and tell Miss Amei that you can send someone over to do the settlement."
Nowadays, the school is the best place for arithmetic in Nanxiang. All calculations in the pasture and workshop are done there.
Although she felt that accounting was a way to vaguely restrict herself, Li Mu believed that she was open and fair, and this was also a rule set by Feng Langjun himself, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
After all, the power she now holds in her hands already makes her feel extremely wonderful.
No wonder men in the world fight to the death for fame, wealth and power.
Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Li Mu's eyes. Anyone who dared to deprive her of everything would be her life and death enemy.
"Chief Executive, Feng Langjun sent someone to send a message and asked you to come to the meeting hall, saying that you have something to discuss."
At this time, a servant came in to report.
"okay, I get it."
Li Mu nodded, and when he heard the three words "Feng Langjun" again, his eyes lit up, then darkened again, and he murmured in a voice that no one could hear, "Then the daughter of the Guan family,
How lucky you are!”
When she arrived at the meeting hall, she saw Feng Lang sitting on the main seat. Li Yi, Li Qiu, Huang Chongyang, Wan Wan and Huo Yi were already seated below.
"I'm sorry Feng Langjun, I'm late."
Li Mufu Yifu looked at Feng Yong with bright eyes.
"It's not too late," Feng Yong smiled, "Mrs. Mu is quite tired today. I specifically told my servants that I would call you after you finish your work. Find a place to sit."
"Yes, Mr. Feng is worried."
Li Mu felt blessed again, and glanced at Feng Yong again, sighing in his heart, this man didn't feel much at all when they first met him, but as time went by, he felt more and more different. No wonder the tiger girls of the Guan family were willing to be female.
Clothes.
After finding the last seat and sitting down, Li Mu looked over and saw that among the people in the hall who could sit down, she was the only one who was a woman. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart: Although I, Li Mu, am a woman, I may not be as good as
Men are inferior.
"The Prime Minister has given me an order to return to Jincheng on a certain day."
Feng Yong was sitting on the main seat. When he saw everyone had come, he said, "That's why I called everyone here this time to make arrangements for my return to Nanxiang, Jincheng."
Although they had been prepared in their hearts, the people below still looked a bit strange. They couldn't help but sit upright and listen attentively.
"Wen Xuan and Wei Ran are my right-hand men, so they will follow me back this time." Feng Yong first told the candidates to return to Jincheng, and then told others, "I don't know when I can return to Hanzhong when I return to Jincheng this time.
, so Nanxiang leaves it to you."
"Brother, don't worry, Nanxiang is the foundation of our brothers, and I will fight to the death to protect it."
Li Qiu cupped his fists and said with enthusiasm.
"That's right, even if there is something urgent, it takes six or seven days to travel from Jincheng to Hanzhong day and night, and it only takes half a month to go back and forth."
Huang Chong followed up and said, "Not to mention that there are troops from Hanzhong Prefecture on the edge of Nanxiang. Even if there is something going on, it is enough to suppress Nanxiang for half a month with the hundreds of people in the guard team in my hands."
"Don't make it so serious."
Feng Yong choked, and wanted to give some advice, but seeing the two aristocratic family members acting like local overlords who had the final say in Nanxiang, what he originally wanted to say could no longer be uttered.
Damn, with the way they look now, they basically regard Nanxiang as their own territory. If I just encourage them a little more, what's the point?
But then I thought about it, Yizhou is divided into local sects, foreign sects, local and foreign hybrid sects, etc., plus a small Nanxiang sect... what's the big deal?
