That night, Li Mu and Bai's father and son rested in the front yard. At dawn the next day, Bai Nao'er got up early, spoke to Li Mu, gave Bai Gensheng a few instructions, and sternly rejected Bai Gensheng's attempt to send him home first.
Returning to Dingxiang, he drove an ox cart back to Mayi alone. He made an agreement with Li Mu to spend as little as three days and as long as five days. After he sold the wine shop in Mayi, he would pack up his things and move to Mayi.
The family moved here. Li Mu also promised him that he would buy a shop in the next few days and find a good location.
After bidding farewell to Bai Nao'er, Bai Qiaoqiao also got up. Li Mu went into the kitchen to cook with her and told her what happened yesterday. Bai Qiaoqiao became anxious when Li Mu said that he actually agreed to buy a new shop for Bai Nao'er.
, said: "Mr. Lang, what are you doing! My mother was already angry yesterday. If you spend money to buy a shop for my father again, what will I do if my mother finds out? I can't behave like a human being."
Of course Li Mu would not say that Li Siwen had handed over the accounts of the South Street shop to him, and he could choose whichever one he wanted without spending a penny. This was a good time to be good. Li Mu gently pulled Bai Qiaoqiao into his arms.
, deliberately sighed and said helplessly: "I'm not doing this for your father, I'm doing it for you. Who made me like you? I'm willing to do anything for you. Of course I can't say yes in front of my mother.
When I spend money, let’s just say that your father spends the money himself, and I just help him get in touch. I spend the money in private, and my mother doesn’t know about it. Isn’t that okay?”
Bai Qiaoqiao was deeply moved, but she felt sorry in her heart, and said: "This is too unfair to you. My father has never taken advantage of you enough in his life. Why, Mr. Lang? It's all my fault. I'm sorry for you."
Li Mu smiled and said: "What else can I rely on? Just because he gave birth to such a beautiful daughter! Okay, the matter is settled, don't keep talking about it. If anything is leaked, it will be difficult for my mother to explain.
.Have you decided to open a wine shop with your father? He will be the shopkeeper. You can handle the accounts. Be careful and meticulous. Don’t let him do anything. I don’t have the money to pay for your husband."
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded heavily and said: "Lang Jun, my father can't hide the matter of the wine shop from me. Don't worry, he won't get a penny more than the monthly payment."
Li Mu pinched her face and said: "It's settled, you cook, and you can eat together when mother gets up. I'll take Gensheng to the Yamen, and we'll eat at the construction site later."
In the past few days, Li Mu was often not at home for breakfast, and Bai Qiaoqiao didn't say much. She glanced at Bai Gensheng washing his face in the yard, stood on tiptoe and gave Li Mu a sweet kiss. The two of them had kissed secretly many times these days.
, Bai Qiaoqiao was actually shy about this kind of blushing and heart-pounding intimacy, but Li Mu liked it, so she endured her shyness and accompanied him.
A sweet kiss put Li Mu in a good mood. He came out of the kitchen and shouted. Bai Gensheng hurriedly followed. He went out and got on his horse. Bai Gensheng led them and they came to the Yamen together.
Li Siwen had already woken up. Since he became the county magistrate, Mr. Li's little problems have improved a lot. He wakes up earlier than Li Mu every day and seems to have endless energy. According to Li Mu's suggestion,
Every morning, the "Big Three" in Dingxiang City will hold a meeting at the Yamen to briefly arrange the day's affairs. If there are any urgent matters, special arrangements will be made. After a few days of routine, the effect is very good, so
It became a routine.
When Li Mu arrived, Wang Hu also arrived, and the two of them were behind each other. Li Mu told Wang Hu about Bai Gensheng, and Wang Hu readily agreed and asked Bai Gensheng to wait at the door. He would take Bai Gensheng with him when he returned to the construction site later.
He left and introduced him to other detectives. Now that there are more and more people at the construction site, there are no longer enough people to patrol. We are about to recruit people. Let alone one person, Li Mu can arrange five or ten people. It will be no problem.
The two of them entered the lobby side by side. When they saw Li Siwen looking at something, when they heard the sound of footsteps, Li Siwen raised his head and said, "Come and take a look. An official document has just been sent."
Li Mu and Wang Hu came up to watch, and Li Siwen said from the side: "Two things. The battle ahead is coming to an end. Dingxiang no longer needs to be used as a logistics base camp. From now on, we will start arranging for the return of wounded soldiers and logistics departments. Alas.
! Now the city wall construction site is in full swing, and the manpower is not enough. Where are the people to do this? "
"Also," Li Siwen pointed to the back of the official document and said, "let us accept the refugees and resettle them on the spot... employing people everywhere, isn't this just trying to catch up?"
Listen to the sound, Li Siwen said this, and Li Mu understood in his heart. He must have felt that these things were too cumbersome to pile up, and he didn't want to do it, or he was too lazy to do it, so he just threw it out and waited for others to pick up.
There were only three people present. Wang Hu was expressionless and looked like he had nothing to do with me. Who else could answer this question? Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, leave these two matters to me.
Just take good care of the city wall construction site."
"Good brother!" This is what Li Siwen was waiting for. He patted Li Mu hard on the shoulder and praised: "I really did not misjudge you. Li Dalang is so righteous.
This is a real man!" He then disparaged Wang Hu and said: "Look at this man again, he is stupid, big and black, he can't be beaten with a stick, and you can't do anything if you expect him to do it!"
Wang Hu glanced at him and said: "Sir, I am a rough man. I am good at killing enemies on the battlefield and conquering cities and territories. I can't do anything else if I want to help, so it's better not to get involved."
Li Siwen turned a deaf ear and looked at Li Mu and asked: "What do you need, my dear brother? Just ask, but if you are given an order, don't dare to disobey!"
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Arranging the return of wounded soldiers and logistics departments does not require any cooperation. I can just find a few people to do it. However, the matter of resettling the refugees requires the county magistrate to write a notice in his own hand, and then let
Brother Wang posted it everywhere. When the refugees come, I will be responsible for settling them, and the county magistrate will also come out to appease and show kindness. Only in this way can we complement each other. Also, with the influx of people, there will definitely not be enough arrests in the Yamen, and we are
Border towns also need a certain amount of defense, so I suggest writing another notice to recruit some soldiers in case of emergencies."
"Good plan!" As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Li Siwen immediately stared and praised: "What a good plan! Brother Li Muxian is both civilized and military, beyond the reach of our generation!"
After getting along for a long time, Li Mu has become more or less accustomed to Li Siwen's personality, but he is still a little embarrassed to hear him praise him so bluntly. This guy is also considered a talent. He has no ability, but he has self-awareness and thinks that he can't do things.
He doesn't do things randomly. Instead, he looks for people who can do it. As long as they are capable people, he respects them very much. When he asks you for help, he can praise you to the limit, as if there is nothing in the sky or on the earth.
In his eyes, you are the greatest talent in the world. No matter whether he is sincere or not, you can always make people feel happy.
