Chapter 57
Take Shuozhou in the north of Taiyuan as an example. Of the ten acres of land, at least eight acres are coal land. Although the harvest is not good, it is also land. The people rely on for a living. If the court directly takes it back, the people will starve to death. This will definitely not work.
Li Mu could imagine that if the monarch and ministers agreed to the resource law, then this issue would definitely be the focus of the discussion next time. But in fact, this matter was simply in Li Mu's opinion. Isn't this the demolition of later generations! The so-called house was broken, Paramela, the house moved, the Range Rover Movement, and the word demolition was blown up, and the number of white-collar workers who could not save a down payment in later generations were waiting for the demolition of their hometown all day long.
Li Mu was an orphan in his previous life, without a property, no farmland, and he could not catch such a pie from the sky. But he had seen it with his own eyes. The driver who was driving for the manager yesterday was timid and threw his resignation letter on the manager's face after learning that his family had occupied land. Li Mu could not tell whether demolition is a good thing, but for people at the bottom, it is indeed a shortcut to quickly improve their living standards.
Not to mention that Li Shimin was a wise king of a generation, even if he was incompetent and incompetent, he could not do anything to force the people's land. In the end, it was probably similar to later generations, either occupying the people's coal land, transferring it to fertile land, or buying land directly from the people, but this would not be a few people to sell it. After all, the money would be gone, and land is the foundation for survival.
Apart from these two methods, the only way is to change the attributes of these people. In the past, they were civilians, but in the future they were workers and coal miners. This method is actually the best, but I don’t know if anyone in the court will propose it. Li Mu thought in his mind that if no one mentioned it, would he mention it himself...
Suddenly he remembered a man who came to Taiyuan calf and horse that he had to spend 3,000 guan. Wang Gui's younger brother Wang Pu was also from Taiyuan. The area around Taiyuan is full of coal. Since this kid is the direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he should have divided a lot of land...
Li Mu's eyes rolled and stood up and said to Eunuch Chen, "My father-in-law is here to supervise. I suddenly remembered that there is another important thing in the Ministry of Works. I will leave today and come early tomorrow."
Mr. Chen received a lot of bribes from him and was already an acquaintance. After hearing what he said, he didn't ask him what he was going to do. He just said that he was watching him here and Li Mu could do it.
Li Mu left the heaven and earth, took Li Chongyi and four guards on horseback and headed straight to Wang Pu's house. He formed a bond with Wang Pu, how could he just let it go? He had already sent someone to investigate Wang Pu secretly. Li Mu knew where his family was that day.
Originally, he planned to wait for the news of the horse farm betting that day to pass, and take advantage of the dark and windy night to make a "cattering machine" and throw a mooring bottle at Wang Pu's house. Later, Wang Ou came to the mansion. Although he didn't say anything to persuade him, he brought valuable silk. Even if Li Mu didn't talk about favors, he would not be able to do such a thing.
But this does not mean that he has calmed down. He still remembers that he has revenge and revenge. He just hasn't found a suitable opportunity.
Today, this opportunity is here!
Wang Pu was packing his luggage and was planning to return to his hometown in Taiyuan.
A few days ago, he instigated the students to say bad things about Bashang winery, and then whispered to Kong Yingda, asking him to impeach Li Mu again. Unexpectedly, Kong Yingda was so unbearable that he could not talk about it again, and he made a fool of himself. Li Mu refuted the hall in silence and fainted. The new wine top prize in Bashang winery also produced, and the slander rumors he had worked hard to make up were self-defeating.
Wang Pu was also a little discouraged after two consecutive defeats. Wang Gui found out about this incident yesterday, and he called him over and scolded him, ordering him to resign and return to his hometown. Wang Pu did not dare to disobey his brother's intentions, so he began to wear clothes and planned to set off tomorrow.
This house in Chang'an was carefully designed by Wang Pu. Every place has its own ideas and it is very satisfactory to live there. But after a few days, the house will be sold. Wang Pu couldn't help feeling empty. Looking back on his days in Chang'an in the past few years, and thinking about the days after returning to Taiyuan, he couldn't help but feel sad and crying.
When he came to Chang'an, he made a bold statement with his friends that he would not be granted a title of marquis and never return after leaving Taiyuan and entering Chang'an. But now, he has been banished by a man who has been granted a title of marquis and returned in a dusty manner. What is his face to see the elders of Jiangdong again?
There is nothing more frustration in life, it’s miserable!
"It's all that Li Mu, don't let me see him, I..."
Wang Puzheng gritted his teeth and became fierce. Suddenly, the gatekeeper ran over. Wang Puzheng had no place to vent his anger. Seeing that the gatekeeper was so ruthless, he couldn't help but get angry from his heart. He grabbed a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and smashed them over, cursing: "What a dog-like thing looks like? What a panic look like. My Wang family in Taiyuan was corrupted by a servant like you!"
The concierge did not care about the pain and stomped his feet and shouted, "Master! The big thing is wrong, I'm here to call me!"
When Wang Pu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's the matter here? Tell me clearly!"
"It's Zhulu Hou. He brought a dozen people to the door! When the villain saw that it was him, he quickly put the door bolt down, but it was probably not useful. The big man behind him carried a giant axe and was afraid that he could split the door of our mansion in an instant! Master, you should run away quickly and walk through the back door to the master's house. The villain thought to himself, Zhulu Hou should not dare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to show off his power!"
"It's too much!" Wang Pu said angrily: "I don't believe it anymore. He dares to kill me? Let's gather all the people in the mansion for me. Today I will fight with that guy to the death... No, he will die! He will die!"
Wang Pu was really angry. As the young master of the Wang family in Taiyuan since he was a child, he suffered grievances and suffered the biggest loss in his life was Li Mu. He was already full of anger. At this time, Li Mu opened the door, as if he had lit an explosive pack. The clay man was still three-pointed in nature. Moreover, Wang Pu's head was still full of halo of the Wang family in Taiyuan. If he really ran away from the back door as the doorman said, he would have no shame to see people in the future.
After Wang Pu gave the order, the concierge was helpless. When he saw Li Chongyi's figure, he thought to himself that there were more than 30 people in our mansion, half of which were female relatives, and the rest were servants, but there was no one who could fight. The big man was eight feet tall and the giant axe in his hand must have hundreds of pounds. If he really fought, wouldn't this be a death sentence?
But as a servant of the Wang family, he knew he could not disobey his life even though he knew he was dead. He still heard Wang Pu's words and called everyone in the kitchen and stables in the front and back yard. Everyone had a guy in his hand, a kitchen knife, a stick, a sickle, and a rake. I don't know if it's useful or not, but I'm not empty-handed anyway.
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 wanted to persuade him again, and Wang Pu shouted sternly: "If you are afraid of death, get out. Today I will fight him to the end!"
The concierge sighed, held the dagger in his hand tightly, and took the courage to open the door.
The door bolt was lowered, and the vermilion door slowly opened...
"But is the gatekeeper in the mansion? There is a prayer from Zhulu Hou here..."
On the way Li Mu came, he sent someone home to send a message, asking his family to prepare two thousand stagnant coins, and Zhao Youcai brought four guards to protect him. Originally, Zhao Youcai was going to arrive later than Li Mu, but Wang Pu didn't open the door for a long time, so he rushed over.
The concierge was already ready to fight for his life, but when he heard Zhao Youcai say this, he was stunned. He quickly put the dagger into his sleeve, took the prayer letter with both hands, looked at Li Mu who was sitting immediately, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what the situation of Zhulu Hou is coming?"
Zhao Youcai looked stern and said, "Is it the matter between the Marquis and your master who is the one who should be a servant?"
The concierge was embarrassed, bowed, said for a while, then turned back to the yard.
When Wang Pu saw him say a few words at the door, he came back and asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"
"Master, this is a visit to Zhuluhou."
"Wish to the post?" Wang Pu frowned, inserted his sword back into the scabbard, opened the post and took a look, and the expression on his face suddenly became exciting.
After pursing his lips and thinking for a long time, Wang Pu said, "It's all gone, please meet in Zhuluhou's lobby."
Everyone didn't understand why, but it was a good thing not to fight to the death. They all retreated quickly. Wang Pu returned to the lobby and waited, and the doorman opened the door. Soon, Li Mu came, and only Li Chongyi followed. Wang Pu looked at him, got up to greet him, his face looked a little ugly, and said, "Herde is coming to mock her in the humble house. Now he is going to return to his hometown in Taiyuan. Don't you have to be so aggressive, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I have written it very clearly on the visiting post. This time I came to turn war into jade. If Brother Wang doesn't want to, then Benhou will leave."
"Wait a minute!" Wang Pu shouted quickly. How could he not want to do it? He just wanted a step for face. But he didn't expect that Li Mu was unwilling to give this step, which made him very embarrassed. But if he offended Li Mu to death, he would not dare.
Li Mu looked back at him, and Wang Pu squeezed out a smile and said, "Since the Marquis has come, I am not a stingy person. Let's forget what happened before. Please sit down."
"It should be so, but it's clear." Li Mu sat down nearby and said to Wang Pu: "After the last bet, I had forgotten this matter. But Brother Wang, you are very unauthorized. Just because I said something about you, a little calf, I begged the students behind my back to slander the Bashang wine shop, and instigated Confucius to impeach... This is your wrong thing. I originally wanted to take revenge on you, but Sister Ou kept apologizing for you and presented me brocade and pearls. I really couldn't erase this face, so I thought I'd better forget it."
Li Mu was not polite at all and said, "You must understand that I can come today, it's not that I'm afraid of you, but that I give Sister Ou face."
Wang Pu's face turned ugly again, but weighed the pros and cons, but still did not get angry. He suppressed his anger and said, "I was wrong with the past. Since I said that the sword turned into jade, don't mention it."
