In fact, Li Shimin never said these words. Li Mu was falsely passing on the imperial edict.
Bai Naoer did contribute a lot to this incident. Li Mu never thought that Bai Naoer would be so good at dealing with these people in the market. Although Li Mu has always had a problem with Bai Naoer, he is not kind.
For those who don't repay, the two rewards given to Bai Nao'er can be regarded as carefully chosen by him.
First, Bai Nao'er loves money. One thousand taels of silver equals one thousand guan, which is not a small amount. Bai Nao'er will be happy if he gets it. As for the minor official Li Mu mentioned, he is the mayor of the new market near the racecourse. This
The mayor is not talking about the mayors of later generations, but the 'mayor' of East City and West City. Simply put, he is the person who manages the market.
The east and west cities in Chang'an are the largest markets in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the mayors of the east and west cities are all officials with good grades, nine grades. The small market near the racecourse is incomparable in terms of scale with the east and west cities. According to the
Logically speaking, the mayor here can only be a clerk, not an official. But Li Mu is confident that if Bai Naoer becomes the mayor, he will have a way to find a ninth-grade official for Bai Naoer.
Of course, this requires money, and it is a bit troublesome to implement. So Li Mu would rather Bai Naoer choose Baiyin Qianliang, and he would also give Bai Naoer the position of mayor, but he is a 'official' not a 'official'
It's official.
What he didn't expect was that Bai Naoer was so enthusiastic about being an official, and the look in his eyes was almost crazy.
Li Mu was a little puzzled and said: "My father-in-law, I want to say it first. He is just a minor official, the mayor of the ninth grade. And there is one thing I want to make clear to you first. If you become this official, the wine shop
Now that you are no longer a member of the Communist Party, do you still want to be this official?"
When Bai Nao'er heard this, he suddenly became anxious. The half-percent profit from the wine shop was a lot of money, five or six thousand guan a year. He couldn't bear to part with it, so he quickly asked: "Why is this?"
Li Mu looked sad and said: "What else could it be? Your Majesty is interested in the profits of the winery. Your Majesty wants you to be the mayor of the market near the racecourse. All the taxes from the market will belong to you, but
You have to get out of the wine shop." Li Mu said, he came closer to Bai Nao'er, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Perhaps my father-in-law doesn't know that the horse farm was blackmailed by Your Majesty to take away 30% of the net profit!"
"Thirty percent?!" Bai Nao'er's eyes almost popped out, he said in disbelief: "How could your Majesty..."
"The money is empty!" Li Mu clapped his thigh and sighed: "My father-in-law, let me be disrespectful. You are a liquor dealer in Mayi City. How do you get the qualifications to be an official? Your Majesty lets you choose one of the two, and there are additional
With the conditions, isn’t it obvious what the plan is?”
"Your Majesty's appetite is not limited to your half percent. If I am right, your Majesty may also want 30% of the pure profit of the winery!" Li Mu looked at Bai Nao'er and said, "That's why I thought
Let your father-in-law accept the first reward, which is a lot of silver, which is free. If you insist on becoming an official, even though the wine shop members have given up, and there are taxes from the market to make up for it, but the market’s
How many taxes can there be? This deal is not cost-effective! And not only is it not cost-effective for you, I also have to contribute 25%, how much does it cost inside and outside!"
When Bai Nao'er heard this, his heart suddenly twisted into a knot, and his face seemed to have a few more wrinkles. After being silent for a long time, Bai Nao'er spoke calmly and said, "My virtuous son-in-law..."
"ah?"
"I still want to be an official." Bai Nao'er looked at Li Mu pitifully and said. Seeing Li Mu's expression of worry, he quickly said: "Xian son-in-law, I know I have tricked you, but Xian son-in-law... that is an official, our Bai family
, our ancestors have been ordinary people for generations. My father, my father’s father, and I didn’t dare to raise our heads when we saw the old man’s carriage. We didn’t dare to look at the old man when we talked to him. Why? Because we are civilians.
, they are ordinary people, they are untouchables... All my life, I have dreamed of being an official. Although the mayor is not a big official, he is still an official. Being an official is higher than that of the civilians. I know that I have no ability. If I can be
I am a ninth-grade official who will die in peace and will never cause you any more trouble. My dear son-in-law, please fulfill my wish."
"But," Li Muwei said, "That's 25% of the winery's net profit. Father-in-law, do you know how much that is?"
"I know." Bai Nao'er was so anxious that tears were about to fall out, but he still kept his composure: "But I just want to be an official!"
"This..." Li Mu sighed heavily, without comment. In fact, he was already extremely happy. He had made up all the things, and he didn't expect that he actually frightened Bai Nao'er. If he could take back Bai Nao'er's hand
Being a member is definitely a good thing for what he wants to do next. He doesn't care about the money, but the business he will do in the future. All the business dealings are with the big bosses, and Bai Nao'er is caught in it. Some things don't matter.
So easy to handle.
Li Mu was about to agree "reluctantly" when he suddenly saw Bai Qiaoqiao walking over. He quickly stood up and said, "Madam, why are you here?"
"I've been listening to it for a long time in the corridor." Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Bai Nao'er with a sullen face and said, "Dad, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't cause trouble to your husband? Why are you still clamoring to be an official?
Ah, Dad, why do you always think about yourself? How do you ask your daughter to behave like this..."
Bai Nao'er lowered his head in shame, and Li Mu felt embarrassed. Bai Nao'er was indeed annoying before, but today it was Li Mu who plotted against him, and it was indeed a bit unfair for him to bear this bad reputation.
"Madam, there's no need to say anything!" Li Mu pulled Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "My husband worked hard to save me. Since my husband wants to be an official, as a husband, I must fulfill his wish. That's all."
It’s settled!”
"Husband," Bai Qiaoqiao said anxiously: "My father should have done his best to save you, but he shouldn't have asked for anything in return. I know you love me, but you have always been so accommodating to my father, and I feel bad..."
"
"My silly wife!" Li Mu sighed, hugged Bai Qiaoqiao into his arms, and winked at Bai Nao'er. Bai Nao'er understood and slipped away quietly. Li Mu saw that he was walking further away,
He let go of Bai Qiaoqiao and kissed her, saying: "Madam, as long as you are happy, I will do whatever you want, but it's just a few stinky money, I don't care at all. And you also saw that your father was very ashamed just now."
, I must have agreed to him this time, and will not make any more excessive demands. He has only had this wish for his whole life. As a junior, if you can help, you should help. You don't need to feel sorry for this. Let's do it.
We are husband and wife, we are one body, how many times do I need to say this again?"
"Husband..." Bai Qiaoqiao was so moved that tears filled her eyes, and she threw herself into Li Mu's arms. Li Mu hugged her tightly, grinning almost to her cheeks.
How come this feeling of getting cheap and being nice is so comfortable!
God has eyes, let’s do it a few more times!
The next day.
It's three o'clock in the morning, and Li Mu hasn't gotten up yet. Today is an exception. The one who sleeps with him is Bai Qiaoqiao. Last night was so charming that Bai Qiaoqiao, maybe because he was moved, actually agreed to the shameful gesture that was not allowed on weekdays, and exhausted all his strength.
I really couldn't get up. Li Zhien was beside me, watching but unable to eat. I felt so sulky that I got up angrily at dawn.
Li Mu is also a little weak in the waist and knees. He hasn't had a good intimate relationship for several days in a row. Bai Qiaoqiao was so cooperative last night and didn't stop the car for a while, which was a bit too much. Li Mu lay on the bed and thought blankly that he should be more restrained in the future.
, there is no little blue pill in this era, and with such a beautiful wife and concubine by my side, if she dies in a few years...that would be such a tragic thing.
Li Mu suddenly remembered the pharmaceutical technique. When he came to this world and turned on the system, the first thing he learned was the pharmaceutical technique. Thanks to the inferior incense produced by the pharmaceutical technique, he escaped from the Turkic camp. But after that, this pharmaceutical technique
I have never used it again. Now that I am not short of money, it seems it is time to practice. Maybe there is something that can replace the little blue pill in the formula of medicine?
This is a good thing. Even if you don't need it, you can still sell it for money. I guess the market should be big... Li Mu was thinking wildly and suddenly laughed, waking up Bai Qiaoqiao next to him.
Li Mu felt Bai Qiaoqiao move and turned his head to look at her.
Bai Qiaoqiao was the first girl Li Mu met when he came to the Tang Dynasty. She was very beautiful, but not so beautiful. Her personality was not flamboyant, unlike Wang Ou and Zhang Tianai, who both had very special personalities.
She has a distinct and independent personality. She is just an ordinary woman, kind, tough, with long eyelashes, very attractive, and she shows a bit of fangs when she smiles, which is very cute.
Li Mu saw Bai Qiaoqiao's eyelashes moving and knew that she was already awake. He was just embarrassed about her madness last night and pretended to be asleep. Li Mu turned over and waited leisurely, but Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't hold it in any longer.
She opened her eyes, rolled her eyes at him, and punched his chest.
"Honey, you seem to be beautiful again. You are much more beautiful than when we first got married."
"No way," Bai Qiaoqiao snuggled into Li Mu's arms and said shyly, "I look in the mirror and I don't think I look any better. I have gained a lot of weight. I have nothing to do in the house all day. I don't have any kind of work.
, the four maids are all rushing..." Bai Qiaoqiao looked up at Li Mu and said, "Husband, have you done what you said about the store last time? I'm really busy at home.
.”
"Let's do it," Li Mu said with a smile, "I haven't forgotten, but there are too many things to do during this period, so I can't handle it. The Emperor's Heaven and Earth opens tonight. After today, let's wait for another three to five days, and wait for me to finish things.
Let's take care of it, and let's set up shop together. It just so happens that I resigned from my position, so I have nothing to do."
"Well." Bai Qiaoqiao hugged Li Mu, gently closed her eyes again, and murmured: "Husband, actually... I think life like this is quite good. We can't spend much money, and we can't earn so much.
Its usefulness is safe and sound, which is better than anything else."
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, a look of shame flashed in his eyes, he said "hmm" and hugged Bai Qiaoqiao tighter.
