***********************************************

"The breeze embroiders the white clouds on the blue sky, the angel embroiders your figure in my dream, graceful as you, the clear spirit of the water, the fine love silk like the Su embroidery, the eyes and wrists, and the fate of you and me embroidered with a needle by stitch"

Qin Mu had a rare literary and artistic appearance, holding a sachet in his hand, and reciting lightly while looking at it.

The sachet is embroidered with a pair of magpies, standing on the budding flower branches, one is crying with its head high, one looks at each other sideways, the pattern is vivid and realistic, the embroidery is fine and delicate, lifelike.

Well, weishenme doesn't embroider mandarin ducks? Aren't they all fashionable to embroider mandarin ducks?

Well, the magpie seems to have some aiqing meaning, but I still like the necked mandarin duck, decided, next time I don't embroider the necked mandarin duck, I must refuse to accept it, where, is it too hurtful to refuse to accept it?

"Childe, who embroidered it, it's so beautiful." Qiao'er's crisp voice sounded behind Qin Mu, and after a light sigh, it suddenly rose up, startling Qin Mu, who was in the middle of lewdness.

"How can this be reasonable, stinky girl, you dare to peep."

Qiao'er saw that he was really frightened, and the sachets fell to the ground, so she quickly shrunk her head, and no longer squeaked, only those bright eyes looked at him with a pitiful look.

"Don't pretend, the county has wronged you?"

nodded, then quickly shook his head while quickly taking a step back.

But her movements were still a little slower, and Qin Mu's Storm Su was more precise than a precision-guided Scud, and it hit her eyebrows without a mistake.

"Stinky girl, you remember it for me, dare to peep in the future, bake and eat."

"I didn't." Qiao'er's cherry mouth pouted high.

"Dare to say no, the last time you spied on me sleeping naked, you had a criminal record, and my body and mind suffered huge trauma because of this, and I almost have no shame to live anymore. What do you want? ”

"If you don't take the bottle when you drink the medicine, you will be given a rope if you hang yourself, this is what the son said." Miraculous Qiao'er, I don't know where to find a rope.

"You, you, you, you're reversed, reversed, raise your hips."

"Hehe" The little girl had been following Qin Mu for a long time, and she was spoiled, she flashed to the door lightly, turned around and asked playfully, "Childe, who gave you this sachet at the bottom?" ”

"Why tell you, stinky girl."

"Childe said, you tell me, and I'll give you this letter." As she spoke, the little girl took out a letter and shook it at him.

Qin Mu was so strange, who would send a letter to him? That Princess Yushu asked someone to send a sachet, but I didn't see a letter.

"Okay, you, not only did you peep at the official sleeping naked, as the confidential secretary of the official, but also secretly hid the official's letters, it's like a bald donkey with an umbrella, lawless, can't the official govern you?"

"This letter is not an official letter, the source is unknown, as the confidential secretary of the son, of course people must check it first, what if someone poisons the letter?"

Qin Mu suspected that she had read too many martial arts novels, and such a creative imagination made him speechless, so he had to compromise: "Okay, the sachet was sent by your sister Zhi'er, send me the letter quickly." ”

"Oh, I knew that the embroidery was so good, it must have been embroidered by Sister Zhi'er." Qiao'er walked up and picked up the sachet and looked at it carefully, without looking at Qin Mu, but the letter in her hand could be accurately delivered to Qin Mu.

The letter is not long, the font is beautiful, this is a letter sent by Li Xiangjun from the Taiping Mansion.

Qin Mu watched it twice, and was both happy and surprised in his heart, happy that Li Xiangjun actually came to Huichang by himself, and his hard work was not in vain.

What is surprising is that she is a weak woman, she looks like a flower, she is overwhelmed by the country and the city, this road is not peaceful, if something goes wrong, it will not make people hate for life.

When he raised his head, he found that the little girl's head was peeping next to her, if it was usual, Qin Mu would not have to reward her with a violent millet, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to worry about her.

"I'll just say, this letter is really poisonous, and the son is stupid."

Qin Mu was amused and angry at the appraisal results of the little girl, and after knocking her head and running away, she shouted at the guards outside: "Second son, go and inform Su Jin, let him come to see the official immediately." ”

"Back to my lord, Su Jin is taking his brothers to practice riding battles, please wait, my subordinates will pass him over."

Su Jin is now the general manager of Qin Mu's 100 cavalry, a native of Datong Mansion, with superb riding skills, after a hundred cavalry filled into the Qianhu Institute, he has always been trained by him, and this time Qin Mu selected him and asked him to lead the team to pick up Li Xiangjun, it is precisely because of his good riding skills.

Su Jin, who was covered in sweat, hurried back to the county office, and when he saw Qin Mu, he bowed: "I don't know what the adults command?" ”

"You immediately select ten people, pick up one person for the official, and be sure to bring them to Huichang safely."

Qin Mu gave a detailed order, and personally sent him out of the mansion, watching him ride away, his heart was finally a lot more stable.

***

The city of Wuchang was broken, the king of Chu was boiled by Zhang Xianzhong and shared, the world was shaken, Chongzhen issued several wills, forcing Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Jiujiang, to lead the army to recapture Wuchang.

Although Zuo Liangyu has self-respect, he doesn't want to bear the name of a thief, Chongzhen has already issued several holy decrees, and if he doesn't move again, it is tantamount to telling the world that he Zuo Liangyu doesn't take Chongzhen seriously at all in his eyes, what is the difference between this and pulling the flag to rebel?

However, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Wuchang, the army grew rapidly, and now it has 200,000 people, Zuo Liangyu had scruples, and did not want to meet Zhang Xianzhong, so on the grounds of raising food and salary, the army wantonly looted in the Jiujiang area, which could not only delay the time to enter the army, but also make a windfall.

If you get cheap, you can also call the court: Look, the court has no food for me, I not only have to fight, but also raise my own food, it's easy for me!

Zuo Liangyu dragged on in Jiujiang for a whole month before he led his troops to the west slowly, and Li Xiangjun and his entourage also stayed in Dongzhi County for a month, and only after hearing that Zuo Liangyu's army had left Jiujiang did they re-enter the road. At this time, Su Jin, who was sent by Qin Mu to pick her up, had just set off from Huichang.

Qin Mu spent more than 20 days before and after, distributed all the "ownerless" fields to the victims, and at the same time completed the work of forming households into armor, so that the daily patrol and security of the local area could be entrusted to Baojia.

In terms of ploughing and planting, because many fields are planted with sweet potatoes, it is time-saving and labor-saving than sowing traditional crops such as rice, and the progress is also very fast.

Qin Mu had sent people to neighboring Guangdong and Fujian to buy grain, and they began to return one after another, plus Huichang was the transportation point of the three provinces, after the rebellion was quelled, business and travel increased rapidly, and the inflow of various in-demand commodities also played a great role in promoting the recovery of Huichang's people's livelihood.

The most important point is that the mining of Zhoutian salt mine is very smooth, Qin Mu has been to Zhoutian three times successively, to arrange salt mining, purification, underwriting and other matters;

The purity of Zhoutian salt mine is very high, the highest salt content can reach 90%, Qin Mu stipulates, but where the purity reaches more than 80%, it can be sold directly, and if it is less than 80%, it must be purified once.

The method of purification is very simple, dissolve the excavated rock salt, separate and filter out the impurities in the rock salt, and then dry it, now it is June and July, the sky is scorching, and the concentrated brine is easily dried, and it is not too troublesome.

The previous war, so that the price of southern Jiangxi soared, and salt is an indispensable material for daily life, but Huguang and Jiangxi do not produce salt, all need to be transported from Lianghuai, Fujian, Guangdong, the price is soaring, five catties of salt was sold for a tael of silver, or there is no market.

As soon as Zhoutian rock salt came out, it was almost like robbing money, and countless illegal salt dealers came one after another, and local wealthy households, and even ordinary people, also joined the ranks of selling salt;

Among them, Xu Yingjie, the proprietor of Rentong Firm, the largest business in Ganzhou, personally found Qin Mu and bought the right to underwrite 20% at a high price, that is, no matter how much Zhoutian Yanchi produced, 20% of the output would be underwritten by him.

Xu Yingjie gave a big gift, trying his best to please Qin Mu, hoping that Qin Mu could give him fifty percent of the underwriting share, who is Qin Mu, and how did the more than three billion family assets come from before?

The larger the share of Xu Yingjie's underwriting, the more sales channels will be mastered, and the greater the squeeze on other dealers, and after he squeezes out other dealers, the lifeblood of rock salt sales will be in his hands alone, and even Qin Mu will become very passive.

In later generations, a certain electrical appliance dealer once almost monopolized the sales channels of China's home appliances, and even the manufacturers of household appliances had to look at his face, and the price of household appliances had to be set by him.

Qin Mu couldn't be clearer about these things, how could he give Xu Yingjie fifty percent of the underwriting rights?

Now that the supply of salt in southern Gannan is in short supply, Qin Mu does not need to bother to organize sales, and the silver of white flowers flows to Huichang like flowing water, with this source of wealth, Qin Mu no longer has to worry about raising the army, and can finally take back the army that has been scattered to carry out strong training.

In order to ensure victory, Qin Mu asked Liu Meng to monitor Wang Gong, and handed over the daily government affairs of the county to Tian Yimu and Wu Wangcai to take care of it, and then look for him if there is something urgent.

And he spent most of his time in the barracks, going into battle shirtless every day, with 2,000 men and horses crawling under the scorching sun, and practicing to the death.
