The statues of all living beings in Nanxiang Exchange had no impact on Nanxiang Lady Mu.
Following her usual practice, she inspected the entire workshop in the morning and asked various stewards about the situation in the workshop.
At the same time, we also visit the residences of the weavers in the workshops to understand the living conditions of the weavers in the workshops.
At this critical moment, she must also keep track of the weavers' thoughts.
It was in the afternoon that I started to deal with various matters.
As Nanxiang's various businesses continue to expand, Li Mu has more and more things to deal with.
Just like the exchange, because there is trading of woolen cloth, she has to pay attention to it on weekdays.
Those who tried to raise food prices with different purposes, but ended up hanging or jumping into the river without losing any money, were just monkey tricks to her.
If you have no real strength and no self-awareness, but want to participate in the game of such a big event as the national destiny of the Han Dynasty, you will only die.
The real mastermind behind the scenes will not be driven to a dead end because of this.
Li Mu, who controls the fate of more than 10,000 people, is no longer the woman whose eyes were limited to her family.
Over the years, she has handled much more money, grain and cloth than a county governor.
She has seen all kinds of weird things, and probably most of the legitimate sons in the clan are not as knowledgeable as she is.
While Li Mu was immersed in handling matters, Mrs. Li walked into her office yard with a husband.
"Tai Gong Li is here to see my wife?"
The young lady greeting the guests asked Taigong Li with a smile.
"That's right. Please, madam, please go in and say something."
Taigong Li said kindly.
The young lady's eyes fell on the husband behind him and asked, "May I ask who this husband is?"
The young man's face darkened.
When the young lady saw it, the smile on her face became even brighter, but she was not afraid of the man's threatening expression at all.
There are many people who want to disobey Nanxiang's rules, but she has never seen one of them end up with a good end.
Taigong Li is an old man and said quickly, "This is the twelfth son of the Li family. He has made an appointment with my granddaughter. Come and meet me today."
"Okay, Grandpa, please wait a moment."
The young lady led the two of them to the living room, poured tea for them, and then went to notify Li Mu.
After there was no one in the hall, Twelve Lang said with some dissatisfaction, "Sixth Uncle, you are Mu Niang's grandpa, and I am her brother. How dare she be so negligent? It's simply unruly!"
Li Taigong glanced at Twelve Lang and was not angry, "Twelve Lang, this is not Jincheng, let alone the Li family. Without this relationship, do you think you can see Mu Niang at this time? You can even enter
Can you believe that there is no chance of getting here?"
As he spoke, he pointed outside, "Every young lady in this courtyard is not only able to read and write sentences, but they are also rare masters in arithmetic."
"Also, the side rooms in the courtyard may contain important secrets that outsiders cannot easily see. This is the only place used specifically to receive guests."
"If you are not afraid of being arrested for spying on the secrets of the workshop, you can go directly to the back and try to find Mu Niang?"
After saying that, he picked up the ear cup and took a sip of tea, seemingly intending to wait calmly.
Li Twelve Lang was so choked by Grandpa Li that he couldn't breathe. Although he was the legitimate son of the eldest family member, Grandpa Li was his elder in terms of seniority.
At the moment, he could only say angrily, "I just can't stand her being so unruly..."
"What? Twelve Lang still wants to apply the rules of the clan to me?"
Before Mr. Li could speak, he heard a clear voice, his tone full of sarcasm.
Li Mu appeared at the door, but seeing the majesty hidden in her pink face, he glanced at her with phoenix eyes, looking forward to her flying without losing her sharpness.
Li Twelve Lang was startled at first and stood up involuntarily. Then he realized something was wrong and a look of shame and annoyance appeared on his face.
Li Mu, however, did not look at him, walked directly to Taigong Li, and bowed, "My granddaughter is late, please don't blame me."
Taigong Li smiled and said kindly, "What kind of words are you talking about? Who doesn't know that you are busy all day long. If this matter hadn't been of such great importance, I wouldn't have come to see you. Sit down, sit down quickly!"
Li Mu then walked to his seat and sat down, and asked, "But I don't know what your eldest father is doing?"
Li Taigong glanced at Li Twelve Lang and said, "This matter needs to be decided by Twelve Lang."
Li Mu then looked at Li Twelve Lang.
"Muniang, everyone has been spreading rumors these past two days that the Prime Minister has regained Longyou. The price of grain in this exchange suddenly plummeted a lot, which caught many people off guard and forced them to a dead end."
Although Li Twelve Lang was dissatisfied, under Li Mu's strong aura and because he wanted something from her, he could only swallow his anger and put on a smile.
Unexpectedly, when Li Mu heard this, he frowned and interrupted him, "The decline of the Han Dynasty is the time to work together to tide over the difficulties. A dignified man, instead of saying that he would die as if he were returning to the national disaster, he would instead think about hoarding food.
, driving up food prices, this is not what the Son of Man did.”
"The women's army in my workshop knows how to patrol everywhere to maintain peace. Those who are forced to die are not even as good as women. They will die if they die. What's the pity?"
After Li Twelve Lang heard this, he trembled in his heart. It was really rare for a woman to be so cruel. It would not be an exaggeration to call her a poisonous woman.
Then he glanced at Taigong Li again, and complained crazily in his heart: Look what the sixth room has taught you?
The men go to raise chickens, ducks and geese for others, while the women talk about state affairs and the world. What is this called? This is called the reversal of yin and yang, and the hen is in the morning!
Is this what a farming and studying family should look like? Even Murano Qian’s family doesn’t look like this, right?
Li Taigong drank tea with an ear cup and pretended to hear nothing.
Ever since Mu Niang was sent to Nanxiang, who knows how Feng Langjun trained her? After she became like this, Taigong Li actually had the urge "This is not a girl from my Li family".
It's just that Liufang is becoming more and more prosperous now. Even if the clan members come to Hanzhong and want to do something, don't they still have to ask them for help? These are actually all thanks to Mu Niang.
If this continues, if Liu Fang has no choice but to imitate the Li family in Nanzhong, he will become a branch of his own in Hanzhong. When the time comes, Taigong Li will be the one to establish the clan.
So no matter how Mu Niang changed, Taigong Li not only couldn't say anything, but also had to shamelessly tell outsiders that she was the most outstanding woman in the sixth room of the Li family.
Therefore, regardless of Li Taigong or Li Twelve Lang, except for the superficial layer of identity that can be slightly concealed, they really have nothing to do when facing Li Mu.
"Muniang is right." Master Li Twelve's face was a little stiff, "It's just that this news has spread a lot in Nanxiang, and there has been no movement from the government, so we wanted to come over and ask if it is true or false?"
When Li Mu heard this, he just smiled weirdly, "Nanxiang is not a county in Hanzhong. If the government wants to spread such news before the army, it must come from Nanzheng first, right? How could the Nanxiang government come before Nanzheng?"
When Li Twelve heard this, he cursed in his heart.
Who doesn't know that you are Feng Dianzi's mistress?
Otherwise, would Liufang be where it is today?
Who doesn't know that you are Feng Dianzi's confidant?
Otherwise, would you be where you are today?
You said you didn't know the news about Feng Dianzi. Are you lying?
Li Twelve Lang almost gritted his teeth, but he had to keep a smile on his face, "Yes, I made a mistake. I mean, these days, Feng Langjun and Mu Niang have exchanged news, but
Zeng said what is the situation in Longyou now?"
"Oh, when you said that, I remembered that Mr. Feng Lang... did send me some news about Longyou in the past two days, but it's just different from what is being spread among the people in Nanxiang today."
Hearing Li Mu's words, even Li Taigong showed a look of concern on his face.
"I wonder what message Feng Langjun conveyed to Mu Niang?"
Li Twelve Lang was even worse, his body was trembling a little.
He didn't know what kind of mentality he was in at this time.
It stands to reason that since there is a quota for the wool spinning workshop in the clan, he should be hoping that the battle ahead will be good.
But for a long time, the heir to the aristocratic family had been so proud that he did not want to see Li Mu and Feng Dianzi behind her living a good life.
After all, the better off the adulterous couple are, the more likely they are to take advantage of a son from a family like his own.
"The news that Feng Langjun defeated Zhang He, the famous Cao bandit general, is true, and it is also true that the tens of thousands of Cao bandits' elite soldiers in the street pavilions were wiped out. However, Guangwei County has not yet been conquered, and its county government, Linwei, is still in the hands of Cao bandits.
"
The county seat is the most important place in a county.
As long as the county government still exists, then the county will still exist.
"There are also Longxi County, and there are also Cao thieves from Liangzhou who are holding on. In Anding County, the Han Dynasty does not have the extra troops to attack. Therefore, of the four counties in Longyou, only Tianshui and Nan'an have been truly recovered.
It’s just a county.”
Li Mu said lightly.
"Is this true?"
Li Twelve asked in silence.
"What's the use of lying to you?"
Li Mu looked at him with a half-smile.
Seeing Li Mu's expression, Li Twelve's heart suddenly tightened. No, there must be something fishy here.
On the contrary, Li Taigong was more sophisticated and knowledgeable, and he looked at the problem more clearly than Li Twelve Lang: "Then based on the current situation, can the Han Dynasty regain Longyou?"
"Cao's thieves have been defeated one after another. Now the roads into Longyou have been blocked by the Han. Sooner or later, Longyou will be in the hands of the Han. Cao's thieves are just lingering in Longyou."
Li Mu looked at Li Twelve Lang with clear eyes, "It doesn't matter if you say the previous words, but this last sentence must never be told to others. Do you understand?"
"Why?"
Li Twelve asked blurtly.
"If those people knew the real situation in Longyou, how could they dare to raise food prices so boldly?"
Li Mu had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely cold.
Li Twelve Lang shuddered, and a word suddenly came to his mind: fishing with bait.
She thinks that not enough people who are driving up food prices have died!
If the person who died this time was the pawn who was pushed to the front by the aristocratic families, then up and down, and up and down again, after this operation, the big families in Sichuan who were driving up food prices would basically be wiped out.
Seven, seven, eight, eight.
A family with a slightly weaker foundation may not be able to recover for several years.
Li Twelve Lang came out of the yard in a daze and looked blankly in the direction of the exchange. Only then did he suddenly realize that it was the aristocratic families in Sichuan who decided the price of grain in Sichuan.
But unknowingly, I suddenly moved here.
With just five wool spinning workshops, the most important aristocratic families in Shu not only did not resist, but even cooperated obediently...
Thinking of this, Li Twelve looked up at the sky. Although the sun was shining brightly, he always felt that there was a huge black shadow floating in the sky, looking at Nanxiang coldly.
He suddenly turned around and went back to look for Li Mu.
"Muniang, we are discussing this time and want to go to Longyou to work in the army. I want to go there in person. Can you think of it?"
Li Mu looked at him strangely, "Who the clan wants to send, that's the clan's Grand Duke's business, what does it have to do with me? You should go to the clan's Grand Duke for this matter."
Twelve Lang nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Compared with various private analysts, where true and false news are flying everywhere, the news from the court is too real.
After confirming that the general trend of Longyou was decided, at the court meeting, the courtiers praised the emperor with so much praise that the smile on the face of little fat Liu Chan never disappeared.
Although some of the flattering words made him want to vomit, he couldn't help but feel so beautiful and comfortable in his heart!
So he vomited and listened.
Didn't you see that the Prime Minister left a long history and joined the army standing aside with a smile on his face, and didn't stop him?
If we say that the Southern Expedition can only be regarded as a small fight to calm people's hearts.
So this Northern Expedition and Longyou's several great victories gave everyone hope of reviving the Han Dynasty.
The worst thing is that there is hope to fill the real gap.
More importantly, this Longyou area is vast and sparsely populated, but it is suitable for grazing...
How many counties are there in the four counties of Longyou? How many vacancies are there in one county?
Even if you can't become a chief officer, it would still be great to go there and become a boss or something like that.
The Prime Minister was wise and released the quotas for five wool spinning workshops before the Northern Expedition, so wool will definitely be in short supply in the next few years.
As long as you can go there, you will always have the opportunity to farm the land, raise some cattle and sheep, and harvest some wool, which will definitely make money.
Didn’t you see that woolen cloth has been in such short supply in recent years that it can be used as money?
After such calculation, regardless of whether they are people from Jingzhou or Dongzhou, even the local people in Yizhou are happy and excited.
All the depression of the past few years has been swept away.
In particular, Liu Yan, a member of the royal clan, took the opportunity to take the lead in proposing that since the Northern Expedition had achieved a great victory, Your Majesty needed to send an envoy to express condolences, and he volunteered to serve as such envoy.
Unexpectedly, someone jumped out and said, "Liu Junhou is already old, how can he be so tired and running around? I can't bear it and am willing to go."
When Liu Yan saw that someone dared to cut off people, he became very angry. If the censor who was maintaining order had not been quick-sighted and stepped forward to hug him, he would have rushed up with a wat board to beat them.
He could only hear him shouting loudly, "The veteran followed the late emperor to fight in the north and south, from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, and then from Jingzhou to Yizhou. How did he ever flinch? To put it bluntly, the veteran can be regarded as a royal relative of the Han family, and he and the late emperor are the same.
Bloodline limbs.”
"Now that the late emperor's last wish is expected to be fulfilled, if your majesty sends someone to Longyou to work on the army, who is more suitable than the veteran minister?"
When Liu Yan revealed his identity, he immediately overpowered the officials. No one dared to say that he was more suitable than him.
Nowadays, both His Majesty's princes and the princes of the Han Dynasty are still too young. In terms of status and dignity, no one can compare with Liu Yan.
However, there is actually a reason why Liu Yan is so desperate to get the labor envoys - his son Liu Liang is still feeding mosquitoes in Nanzhong.
Letters came from over there that Liu Liang fell ill several times, and the most serious one almost killed him.
How could Liu Yan not be in a hurry?
There are so many vacancies in Longyou this time. He can take any position at random. It does not require a big official position. Even if he is a minor official, his son can come out of that ghost place in Nanzhong.
Although there are many barbarians in Longyou, they will be obedient as long as that person is there!
At least it won't be like Nanzhong, where the son was not killed by the barbarians, but sooner or later he would be killed by the miasma.
As long as he can go to work in the army and have a chance to talk to the prime minister, he believes that his old face is still worth some respect.
