Chapter 57

Take Shuozhou in the north of Taiyuan as an example. Among the ten acres of land, at least eight acres are coal land. Although the harvest is not good, it is still land on which the people depend for their livelihood. If the court directly takes it back, the people will starve to death. If this is done,

Definitely not.

Li Mu could imagine that if the monarch and his ministers agreed to the resource law, then this issue would definitely be the focus of the next discussion. But in fact, in Li Mu's view, this matter couldn't be simpler. Isn't this the demolition of later generations! The so-called house

One step, Panamera. The house moved, and Range Rover Sport. The word "Split" was sprayed, and he immediately ran away. I don't know how many white-collar workers in future generations can't save a down payment, and they wait all day long for their hometowns to be demolished.

Li Mu was an orphan in his previous life. He had no house, no property, and no farmland. He couldn't make a fortune in this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing. But he had seen it with his own eyes. Yesterday, the driver who had been obediently driving to the manager learned that his home occupied the land.

The resignation letter was thrown on the manager's face. Li Mu couldn't decide whether demolition was a good thing, but for people at the bottom, it was indeed a shortcut to quickly improve their living standards.

Not to mention that Li Shimin was a wise king, even if he was stupid and unscrupulous, he would not have been able to seize the people's land. In the end, most of them would be similar to those of later generations, either occupying the people's coal land and granting fertile farmland, or directly taking it from the people.

You can buy land here, but few people will sell it. After all, the money is gone as soon as it is spent, and land is the basis for survival.

Apart from these two methods, the only way is to change the attributes of these people. In the past they were citizens, and in the future they will be workers, coal miners. This method is actually the best, but I don’t know if there will be anyone in the DPRK.

Bring it up. Li Mu was thinking, if no one mentioned it, should he mention it himself...

Suddenly he remembered a person, the Taiyuan calf who asked him to ride in the three thousand guan. The king's younger brother Wang Pu was also from Taiyuan. There was coal everywhere around Taiyuan. Since this boy was a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he should be divided into

A lot of fields...

Li Mu rolled his eyes, stood up and said to young Eunuch Chen: "Eunuch, you can just supervise here. I suddenly remembered that there is another important matter in the Ministry of Works. I will leave today and come back early tomorrow."

Young Eunuch Chen had received a lot of bribes from him and was already an acquaintance. When he heard what he said, he didn't ask him what he was going to do. He just said that he was here to keep an eye on him and Li Mu could do whatever he wanted.

Li Mu left the heaven and earth, took Li Chongyi and four guards on horseback, and went straight to Wang Pu's house. He and Wang Pu had formed a feud, how could he let it go casually? He had already sent people to secretly investigate Wang Pu, and his family

Li Mu knew where it was that day.

His original plan was to wait until the news about the racecourse bet had passed, and then take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to make a trebuchet and throw Molotov cocktails at Wang Pu's house. Later, Wang Ou came to the house, although he didn't say anything to persuade him.

However, it brought valuable silk and satin. Even if Li Mu was not polite, he would not be able to do such a thing.

But this doesn't mean that he has calmed down. He still remembers Wang Pu as a Liangzi, but he just didn't find a suitable opportunity.

Today, this opportunity has come!

Wang Pu is packing his luggage and plans to return to his hometown in Taiyuan.

A few days ago, he encouraged the students to speak ill of Bashang Winery, and gave Kong Yingda a deaf ear, asking him to impeach Li Mu again. Unexpectedly, Kong Yingda was so unbearable that he made a fool of himself again and was refuted by Li Mu in the hall.

He was speechless and fainted. And the Bashang Winery also released a new wine, Zhuangyuanhong. The slanderous rumors he had worked so hard to concoct were self-defeating.

After losing two games in a row, Wang Pu was also a little disheartened. Yesterday, Wang learned about this matter again, called him over, gave him a big scolding, and ordered him to resign and return to his hometown. Wang Pu did not dare to disobey his brother's wishes.

So I started to pack my luggage and planned to set off tomorrow.

This house in Chang'an was carefully designed by Wang Pu. Every part of the construction had his own thoughts, and it was very pleasant to live in. But in a few days, this house will be sold. Wang Pu couldn't help but feel that

Empty, looking back on the days in Chang'an these past few years, and then thinking about the days after returning to Taiyuan, I can't help but feel sad and want to cry.

When he came to Chang'an, he made a bold statement with his friends. This time he left Taiyuan and entered Chang'an, and he would not be granted the title of marquis and vowed not to return it. But now, he has been silenced by a man who had made him a marquis. He went back in disgrace, how could he see him again?

Jiangdong elders?

There is no greater disappointment in life than this, how miserable!

"It's all that Li Mu, don't let me see him, I..."

Wang Puzheng was gnashing his teeth, and suddenly the concierge ran over. Wang Puzheng had no place to vent his anger. Seeing the concierge being so helpless, Wang Puzheng could not help but feel angry. He grabbed a roll of bamboo slips at hand and smashed it over his head and face, cursing: "You are like a dog, panic."

What are you looking like in a panic? The family tradition of the Wang family in Taiyuan was ruined by servants like you!"

The concierge ignored the pain and stamped his feet and shouted: "Master! Something bad has happened, and we're knocking on the door!"

When Wang Pu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What's knocking on the door? Tell me clearly!"

"It's Zhulu Hou. He brought a dozen people and knocked on the door! When the villain saw it was him, he quickly lowered the door bolt, but it probably didn't work. The big man behind him was carrying a giant axe.

I'm afraid the door of our mansion will be split open in one fell swoop! Master, you'd better run quickly and go through the back door to the eldest master's house. I think that Zhuluhou should not dare to show off his power in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Too much bullying!" Wang Pu said angrily: "I don't believe it yet, he still dares to kill me? Go and gather all the people in the house for me, today I will fight to the death with that guy... No, he

He must die! He must die!"

Wang Pu was really angry. As the young master of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he had been wronged when he was young. The biggest disadvantage he suffered in his life was Li Mu. He was already holding back his anger, but then Li Mu knocked on the door.

It was as if a dynamite pack had been lit. The clay figurine was still earthy. Moreover, Wang Pu still had the aura of the Taiyuan Wang family on his head. If he really ran away from the back door as the concierge said, he would really be embarrassed to see anyone in the future.

Wang Pu gave the order, but the concierge was helpless. He saw Li Chongyi's size and thought to himself, there are more than thirty people in our mansion, half of them are women, and the rest are servants, but there is no one who can fight.

.The big man is eight feet tall, and the giant ax in his hand may weigh hundreds of kilograms. If he really fights, wouldn't it be to die?

But as a servant of the Wang family, he could not disobey even though he knew he would die. He still listened to Wang Pu and called everyone in the front yard, backyard, kitchen and stables. Everyone had a knife, a kitchen knife, a stick, and a sickle in their hands.

I don't know if the rake is useful or not, but I don't have anything to spare.

Wang Pu pulled out his sword, looked at the closed door, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Open the door!"

The concierge tried to persuade him again, but Wang Pu shouted sternly: "If you're afraid of death, get out of here. I will fight him to the death today!"

The porter sighed, clenched the dagger in his hand, and bravely opened the door.

The door bolt was lowered, and the vermilion door slowly opened...

"But is it the concierge of the house? Here is a greeting card from Marquis Zhulu..."

On the way, Li Mu sent someone home with a message, asking his family to prepare two thousand coins, and Zhao Youcai came with four guards to escort him. Originally, Zhao Youcai arrived later than Li Mu, but Wang Pu was too late to arrive.

When I opened the door, he came over just in time.

The porter was already prepared to fight for his life, but when he heard Zhao Youcai talking like this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. He quickly put the dagger into his sleeve, took the invitation with both hands, glanced at Li Mu who was sitting on the horse, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know how to fight for the deer."

Hou Lai, what's the matter?"

Zhao Youcai straightened his face and said, "Are the matters between the Marquis and your master something that I, the servants, should ask about?"

The concierge was so embarrassed that he bowed, said to wait a moment, and then returned to the courtyard.

Wang Pu saw him saying a few words at the door and then coming back. He asked confusedly: "What do you mean?"

"Sir, this is a greeting card from Marquis Zhulu."

"Blessings?" Wang Pu frowned, put his sword back into its scabbard, opened the post and took a look, the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.

After thinking for a long time with his lips pursed, Wang Pu finally said, "Let's all disperse. Please meet at the Zhuluhou Hall."

Everyone didn't know why, but it was a good thing not to fight hard, so they hurriedly evacuated. Wang Pu returned to the lobby to wait, and the concierge opened the door. Not long after, Li Mu came, and only Li Chongyi followed. Wang Pu looked at it

He glanced at me, stood up to greet me, his face was somewhat ugly, and said: "The Marquis has come to my humble residence, isn't it to ridicule you? I have already returned to my hometown in Taiyuan, so the Marquis doesn't need to be so aggressive, right?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I have written it very clearly on the greeting card. The purpose of coming here is to turn conflicts into friendship. If Brother Wang is not willing, I will leave now."

"Wait a minute!" Wang Pu quickly stopped him. How could he not be willing? He just wanted a step to save his face. But he didn't expect that Li Mu was unwilling to give him a step. This made him very embarrassed. But if he offended Li Mu just like that,

Even if he died, he wouldn't dare.

Li Mu looked back at him, and Wang Pu forced out a smile and said: "Since Lord Marquis is here, I am not a stingy person. Let's forget about what happened before. Please sit down, Lord Marquis."

"That's right, but I have to make it clear." Li Mu sat down nearby and said to Wang Pu: "After the last bet, I had forgotten about it. But Brother Wang, you are very unreasonable.

Just because I said something about you, I went behind my back to win over students to slander Ba Shang Winery, and also encouraged Kong to sacrifice wine and impeach... This is your fault. I originally wanted to retaliate against you, but Sister Ou kept replacing me.

You apologized and gave me brocade and pearls. I really couldn't take advantage of this, so I thought I might as well forget it."

Li Mu was not polite at all and said: "You have to understand that I can come today not because I am afraid of you, but because I want to give Sister Ou face."

Wang Pu's face turned ugly again, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still didn't get angry. He suppressed his anger and said: "I was also wrong about the past. Since we said we turned hostility into friendship, let's not mention it."

"Okay, let's not mention it then!" Li Mu was very happy, smiled again, and said, "I'm here today to give a big gift to Brother Wang."
