Li Mu pushed the door open and came out. If Bai Qiaoqiao guessed it, he was very happy. He took a look, called the two dogs over, and said: "There is no need to look at the things. Let them all come over as much as they want. I want them all."
Got it!"
When the leaders heard this, they were naturally very happy. No one had expected such an unexpected surprise. The clouds of worry in the sky immediately disappeared. They were extremely grateful to Li Mu, thanked and bowed, and didn't know how to thank him.
Old Hu thought more. When he saw that Li Mu was young, the little girl first took Zhang Tianai away and then came to send a message. He started to murmur in his heart that when he was doing business in the Western Regions, he had also set up a 'immortal dance'
, no matter how you look at it, it looks a bit similar. Seeing Li Mu about to leave, he didn’t have time to think, and said: "Master Hou!"
"Huh?" Li Mu heard the voice, looked back at Lao Hu, and said, "Is something wrong?"
Lao Hu rubbed his hands and said: "Master Hou, we have brought a lot of goods, more than ten cars... The price has not been negotiated yet, you..."
Li Mu understood the meaning and smiled and ignored it. Lao Hu continued to ask, but Ergou stopped him.
Ergou dragged him, and when Li Mu walked far away, he complained: "You old man, you have no sense of proportion! What do you mean, are you worried that our Lord Marquis can't afford the money?! You have never seen the world! You haven't seen it.
Datang Daily? Our Marquis makes a bet of five thousand guan, how much are your cars of leather worth! Ask! What do you want?!"
"Five thousand... guan?!" Everyone gasped and was speechless. You must know that this year's furs are not as valuable as in previous years. The goods of these dozen carts were all sold for only more than 3,000 guan. The one just now
The young Marquis actually made a bet of five thousand guan? How rich this is!
When Ergou saw everyone's expressions, he secretly called a bumpkin in his heart and said: "Put your heart in your stomach. Since the Marquis said you want it all, you must have it all. But let me remind you, don't put us at risk."
The Marquis has taken him for granted. We are entrusted by the Marquis and have to take care of him. I know the price of the leather. If you dare to ask for more, huh, have you seen the plaque at the door? His Majesty’s signature
Question, figure it out for yourself!"
"Don't dare, don't dare..." Old Hu Lianda didn't dare. Together with the other leaders, Ergou went back to his residence to pick up the goods.
Besides, in the backyard, Li Mu was very happy to see Zhang Tianai.
It is actually somewhat far-fetched to say that Zhang Tianai saved his life. The people Zhang Tianai brought with him that day actually did not play any role. Li Mu was grateful to Zhang Tianai because she protected Bai Qiaoqiao, who had no master of the six gods. If not for the encounter.
She didn't know what stupid things Bai Qiaoqiao would do. Husband and wife were one, Zhang Tianai saved Bai Qiaoqiao, and Li Mu also accepted her kindness.
When Li Mu walked to the backyard, Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai briefly talked about what happened after they parted. Bai Qiaoqiao learned the reason why Zhang Tianai didn't reply, and he couldn't blame her for it. Bai Qiaoqiao asked Li Mu
The letters he wrote were all sent together with the letter written by Li Mu to Li Siwen. They all thought that Li Siwen could deliver the letter to Zhang Tianai, but in fact, the letter was not delivered. Zhang Tianai is a horse bandit, and Zhangjiazhai
It was a den of horse bandits, and Li Siwen was an official of the imperial court, so how could he send the letter there? Zhang Tianai didn't receive the letter, so of course he couldn't reply.
Bai Qiaoqiao also told Zhang Tianai the important things that happened after they broke up. Li Mu was granted the title of marquis, she received the imperial edict, Sun married Tang Jian, and other big and small matters. She told Zhang Tianai without reservation.
In Bai Qiaoqiao's heart, Zhang Tianai was the benefactor who saved her and Li Mu, so Bai Qiaoqiao had no reservations about her.
The two were talking when Li Mu arrived. Seeing Li Mu, Zhang Tianai was a little panicked and a little embarrassed. She still remembered the day they parted. Li Mu had promised her that if she needed anything, she could come to Chang'an to find him and he could help.
He would be obliged to do so. But at that time, Zhang Tianai didn't take it seriously and didn't regard Li Mu as a person. He just asked Li Mu to treat Bai Qiaoqiao well, but he didn't answer the question.
I didn't expect that I would ask for him today. Moreover, at this time, Li Mu had already become a marquis and became a popular figure in Chang'an City.
Zhang Tianai hesitated for a moment, then simply clasped his fists and bent down to salute Li Mu. Li Mu quickly avoided it and said, "What are you doing? What kind of salute are you doing to me?"
"You are already a Marquis. I am just a commoner, so of course I have to salute you." After a pause, Zhang Tianai said again: "I also want to thank you for accepting the furs from Zhangjiazhai. I know you can't use so much. This kindness is
I will remember it and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."
Li Mu laughed and said: "I do need furs. Buying and selling, what kind of kindness should I remember?"
Bai Qiaoqiao also echoed Li Mu's words and pulled Zhang Tianai to sit down. Li Mu sat opposite them.
"Why did you come to Chang'an to sell furs? I heard Qiaoqiao mentioned that Zhangjiazhai only does business in a few border towns?"
In front of Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao, Zhang Tianai had nothing to hide and said truthfully: "Zhangjiazhai is a horse bandit in name, but we rarely go out to plunder. Our main livelihood is collecting furs from the Hu tribe.
Then sell it to Datang to make a small profit. Now that the Turks have been destroyed by Datang, the business can no longer be done. We have also become a thorn in Datang's side. I don't know when they will send troops to encircle us. Winter is coming.
, the grain and rice in the village were not enough, and the furs could not be exchanged for money, so I had no choice but to buy a road guide and try my luck in Chang'an. If I had not met you, I would have planned to sell these furs at a discount.
There are more than two thousand people waiting to eat."
"So that's it..." Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Since the business can't continue, and you are worried about the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, haven't you ever thought about naturalizing and becoming good citizens?"
Zhang Tianai smiled miserably and said: "Is naturalization so easy? My father and several major leaders in the village are all bandits wanted by the court. Which government office can allow naturalization?"
After saying this, Li Mu understood. The main characters in Zhangjiazhai were all wanted by the government, and they had to live dependent on them. In this way, it was really a difficult thing to accommodate.
If they are naturalized, it will be fine if nothing happens to them. But if something happens, they will be engaging in fornication with gangsters, which is a serious crime.
Zhang Tianai hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, I came to Chang'an this time for one more thing. My father and General Li Ji had an old relationship when they were young, and I wanted to ask him for help. I asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send a favor. As long as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
I am willing to pardon Zhangjiazhai, and more than 2,000 men, women, and children in Zhangjiazhai are willing to join the Tang Dynasty. But..." Zhang Tianai sighed: "Before I met you, I had already met with General Li Ji.
He treated me very warmly, but when he mentioned this matter, he changed the subject. This time my father asked me to bring gifts to the house again, but I'm afraid there will still be no results."
When Bai Qiaoqiao heard this, she was about to speak. Li Zhien quickly winked. Bai Qiaoqiao saw it, hesitated for a moment and did not speak directly, but looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu knew that Bai Qiaoqiao wanted him to help. But Li Mu couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. He knew Li Ji's character. He was cautious and cautious. He usually didn't participate in matters that didn't concern him. And he didn't know yet.
Whatever happened between Zhang Tianai's father and Li Ji, no matter what, if Li Ji didn't help, he naturally had reasons why he felt he shouldn't help. Li Mu would never force anyone to make things difficult for him.
But this matter is not difficult to handle. If I can’t do it, I still have a son!
Li Siwen was rebuilding Dingxiang City, and it was time to hire people. Although he recruited many refugees, and Li Mu sent more than 70 craftsmen, it was still a drop in the bucket for building the city. Li Siwen also said in his last letter
, in order to win over a few refugees, he almost started a fight with Linxian County. Just when his eyes were red from holding back, as long as someone gave him, let alone a horse bandit, even if the Turks surrendered, his temper would
Use it first and then talk about it.
Li Mu was about to speak when suddenly Li Chongyi walked in.
"Boss..." Li Chongyi saw Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien behind her, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The eldest sister of the Wang family is here, and she also brought a cart of silk and satin. She is waiting in the front lobby now."
"What's she doing here?" Li Zhien's heart sank. A woman's intuition told her that the person coming was unkind. Bai Qiaoqiao's expression was a little stiff, but she didn't say anything. After all, Wang Ou also saved Li Mu's life. She is a sensible person.
A woman will not interfere in her man's affairs just because of a small displeasure in her heart.
Li Mu stood up and said to Zhang Tianai: "I should be able to help a little with this matter. To be honest, General Li Ji is my adoptive father. Well, don't worry. At this moment, a guest came to the front yard.
, I will tell you in detail later when I have time."
Zhang Tianai naturally agreed. For her, this matter was basically impossible to solve. If Li Mu could help, she would have the patience to wait even if it was ten days and a half, let alone later.
After Li Mu finished speaking, he gave Bai Qiaoqiao a reassuring look, and then followed Li Chongyi to the front yard. When he went out, Li Zhien said: "Madam, why are you silent? That vixen must have come with bad intentions.
I suspect she has fallen in love with the master and wants to seduce him!"
Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Sister Wang Ou is my husband's savior... Besides, she is more than ten years older than my husband. How is that possible? Stop talking nonsense."
"It's impossible that you know it in your heart, just don't admit it." Li Zhien pouted, suddenly sighed again, and stamped his feet: "I really can't do anything with you, you are afraid of offending your man, I, I'm not afraid, okay, I'll go
Keep an eye on it for you!"
After saying that, Li Zhien hurried out of the house and chased Li Mu to the front yard.
Zhang Tianai didn't understand what happened, so he whispered into Bai Qiaoqiao's ear and asked. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't hide anything from her, and explained to her who Wang Ou was, what his relationship was with Li Mu, and what happened... Zhang Tianai
Hearing this with gusto, as long as she is a woman, she is inevitably prone to gossip, and Zhang Tianai is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
