Section 0195 Wood and Leaves (Three Watches)
Liu Mu's life is very simple, this weekday either goes to see his new home, or goes to the fields. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is also an appointment with Dugu Lanruo in the tea garden or something.
It wasn't until ten days later that Ma Zhou replied.
There is only one word in the letter, letter!
Liu Mu believed in the wisdom of the ancients at this time, Ma Zhou was a very remarkable person, although he was still young, but a hero is a hero.
Liu Mu had a small plan, which he was going to carry out when he came back, but now he has endured it for many days because of Cui Yiye's arrival. Finally, I wrote back and planned to start my own little plan. Out of his room, he went to the front room.
At this time, Cui Yiye, Gao Cheng, and Dou Shikuan are playing cards, playing the kind of Liu Mu in Wenyue Pavilion, and the stakes are very small, only one hundred dollars per person per game.
"I say, Little Leaf." Yanagi sat down in his chair with a smile.
Cui Yiye was about to praise Liu Mu's special table and chairs, but a small leaf shouted out, allowing Cui Yiye to spray all the tea on Liu Mu's face.
Liu Mu wiped the tea on his face with his hand: "Well, this is my tea." ”
"Let's not talk about tea yet." Cui Yiye completely lost the demeanor of a famous and noble son, and yelled at Liu Mu viciously.
"Well, I choose to trust you for the time being." When Liu Mu spoke, there was already a Wen cloth sent by the maid, and Liu Mu wiped his face and said with a smile, his eyes squinting.
Cui Yiye motioned for the nun to clean the table.
Gao Cheng said at this time: "At the root, it is credible. ”
"Why?"
"You're wood, you're wood. If there is no wood, there is no leaf, so he can be trusted. Gao Cheng's theory made Liu Mu speechless.
But Dou Shikuan fully supports: "That's the truth, that's it." ”
"What about you?" Liu Mu asked Cui Yiye.
"It seems that this is the will of God, but this son doesn't trust you very much. However, you can cooperate with one or two superficially, my Cui family is profitable, and you are also profitable. Ben Gongzi will tell you another embarrassing fact. Cui Yiye motioned for the maids to retreat.
When there were only the four of them in this room, Cui Yiye said: "Ten years of great cause, the Cui clan has been unable to make ends meet for the first time in the first hundred years, and the account is a loss. ”
"The year of the third expedition to Goguryeo?" Yanagi remembers this day, but still wants to ask to be sure, to be accurate.
Cui Yiye nodded: "That's that year, and then the next ten years, every year." It has exhausted the accumulation of my Cui clan for a hundred years, but forty percent of it is a loan, but this account is difficult to collect. ”
"The prince borrowed it?" Liu Mu was purely guessing, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Seeing Cui Yiye nodding, Liu Mu asked again: "How many are these forty percent?" ”
Cui Yiye just smiled and shook his head, but didn't say the number. Liu Mu believes that this number must be a very, very huge astronomical amount, and even if the current Datang treasury is emptied, it will be a huge debt that cannot be repaid.
If there is a loan from the Qinghe Cui family, then there must be other gate valves.
"Let's go, let's see my son go and earn some money first." Yanagi pulled a chair and stood up.
Datang borrowed the debts of the wealthy family and had a fart relationship with himself, and there may be more complicated things in it, Liu Mu asked the number purely out of curiosity.
Cui Yiye and the other three also stood up and walked out with Liu Mu.
After Liu Mu went out, he instructed a servant and handed over a piece of paper: "Go and ask the chief steward of the Yiguo Mansion Qin Zheng to inform the Li Zheng on this list, and the elders of the villages under the management of these Li Zheng are also invited, and tell them that each person who comes has a pig's head, and at noon tomorrow, let the chief steward Qin Zheng choose a place close to the rape field in Jingyang." ”
"Yes." The servant took the piece of paper and trotted away.
Liu Mu took Gao Cheng and the four of them to Jingyang, and first went to the land where Liu Mu replaced.
Construction is underway here.
"There are no good mountains and rivers here, only bad water and barren beaches, and there are not even a few grasses. Although it is good to build a wharf, it is some distance from the Chang'an Straight Road, and it is difficult to build an additional road. Gao Cheng didn't understand why Liu Mu wanted this river beach.
Liu Mu said: "Who said there is no grass, but there is no grass here on the river beach." There are trees and grass and a mountain over there. ”
Is there a mountain?
The three of them looked up.
"If that dirt slope is a mountain, then there are mountains, water, and trees." Cui Yiye smiled.
"There's still a lot of time to go for my wedding here, and I don't have a lot of houses to build. Counting a road to the official straight road, which is seven miles away, this doesn't cost much. ”
After listening to Liu Mu's explanation, no one said anything.
It's not that I look down on Liu Mu, but when it comes to the marriage between Liu Mu and Princess Changping, even children in Chang'an know that it will definitely be a major event that makes the whole Chang'an worth paying attention to.
But no one could have guessed what Willow would do.
Yanagi is just here to care about his new ...... Racecourse as well as market area.
That night, the group lived in a tent by the river in Jingyang, and the next day, when it was almost noon, Liu Mu came to the field under the name of Princess Changping of Jingyang, where some rape flowers were planted.
The Lizheng who came here, most of them were the Lizheng of the field area to which Qin Qiong and Dugu Lanruo's family belonged, and a few of them were from the fields under the name of Yu Chixue. Cheng Biting Jin's field is in the south of Chang'an City, while Li Ji's is in Sanyuan and Gaoling County.
The rest are also civilian villages.
The people of these villages were not tenants or aristocrats, they were ordinary commoners.
"I've planted some flowers in my field!" Liu Mu stepped forward, smiled and broke off a rapeseed that was ripe and about to be harvested and walked in front of everyone. "But it's worth the money."
Liu Mu clapped his hands, and Qin Zheng of the Yiguo Mansion personally came over with a tray and put it in Liu Mu's hand.
Then, more than a dozen servants held trays for each Lizheng and every village elder to take a look.
"It's a seed, you can understand it as a seed, but it has another use." Liu Mu had another porcelain vase in his hand and poured some oil into the plate.
"Set up a fire." After Liu Mu gave the order, he began to undress, and took off his silk robe and replaced it with a linen short.
At this time, Yanagi was wearing a pair of pants that were very similar to modern sweatpants, but no one paid attention to Yanagi's pants, and everyone's eyes were on Yanagi's hands.
Yanagi has a pot in his hand, a very small pot.
A servant pulled the bellows hard, and the flames of the charcoal stove swayed upward. Another chef is slicing lamb on the side.
Liu Mu poured the oil into the pot, after watching the oil heat, he poured half a bowl of green onions into the pot, and then very thin slices of mutton, after skillfully turning the pot several times, Liu Mu stuck the fire on the side of the pot, and after turning it a few more times with the flame of the pot, he poured the green onion and fried mutton into a plate.
"The oil is planted in the fields, so you can taste the oil."
