I’m Almost At Immortal Ascension, You Say You Want Me To Be The Prince?

After obtaining Li Mu's consent, Chang Sun Chong took Xue Dading to visit Li Mu the next day.

"This is Li Jingyang."

"This is Xue Cangzhou."

Chang Sun Chong is very competent as a pimp.

"Xue has seen Li Jingyang and admired Li Jingyang's sage name for a long time. I saw it today. It's a blessing for Sansheng!"

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched. This old man is so numb. Is this really Xue Dading who made outstanding contributions to Hebei in the history books?

How come it feels a bit out of the play.

However, he responded very politely, "Shijun Xue is serious, and Mu has been admiring his name for a long time."

Although it was Lao Xue who wanted him, he still needed the most basic qualities to be a human being, at least he respected the elderly Li Mu.

"Li Jingyang is young and promising, and the old man admires it very much. I came here today to build a business in Cangzhou. I wonder if Li Jingyang has anything to do with the old man?"

"Shijun Xue is polite. A certain person is about to find a place to build a dock. A lot of wood may be needed by then, so please make him complete."

"It's easy to say, Li Jingyang is willing to benefit one party in Cangzhou. Xue is already grateful and will do his best to cooperate. Please Li Jingyang can rest assured."

"Then Mu thanked Xue Shijun first."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, but the old man has some suggestions for cooperation. I wonder if Li Jingyang is interested?"

"Oh? I would like to hear the details."

"It is said that Li Jingyang is ordering people to grow cotton?"

Li Mu nodded, this is no secret, things like cotton have to be planted on a large scale to get a head start.

So this thing is simply impossible to hide, Li Mu didn't intend to hide it from the beginning, he wished others would follow along with it.

After all, as long as the core means are in your own hands, and others grow cotton, at best, you are the supplier who provides you with the raw materials, you are the one who gains the most benefits.

Seeing Li Mu nodded and admitted, Xue Dading was immediately delighted, and there was hope in secret.

"Since Li Jingyang wants to grow cotton, he must need land?"

"This is natural."

Nonsense, how does landless cotton grow? Is it possible to rely on love?

"In that case, Li Jingyang, please listen to the old man."

"Speaker Xue, please say."

"There are many Yutian fields in Cangzhou, all of which are first-class fertile fields. I wonder if Li Jingyang might be interested..."

Damn, you want to sell the land? This is so inconsistent with Tang law! The magistrate doesn't have this power, damn it!

But when I think about it carefully, I guess it’s not selling land. Old Xue, who has been an official for most of his life, doesn’t understand this?

Therefore, it is estimated that I want to lease the land to Li Mu.

This idea is very peculiar, and it is the same as the contracting out of the land by the local government of later generations.

But there should be no such precedent in Datang this meeting, he is not afraid of being killed by Li Shimin when he starts this head.

Although Li Mu also contracted land for planting, it was all wasteland and could be bought and sold, good land? Don't even think about it.

"Shijun Xue, this is not so good, if the court investigates it, you may not escape the blame."

"Don't hide Li Jingyang, the old man is also a last resort!"

Xue Dading had a sad expression on his face, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.

Li Mu's whole person is not good, why is it still acting?

Do you people from the Tang Dynasty love acting so much?

Why don't you make a showbiz and come out cool?

"Hey, hey, old Xue, let's talk about it, don't act, just say if you have any difficulties, I'll do it if you can."

Li Mu simply didn't pretend, and said it more bluntly. After all, what we are talking about is a dirty deal. It's better to make it clear, so that it will be more troublesome for everyone to shirk each other when something goes wrong.

Although he is fearless, he is also afraid of trouble.

Therefore, it is better to be straightforward.

Xue Dading's eyes widened, so he stopped acting?

"The old man just said it straight."

"Say it.""Li Jingyang doesn't know something. Now there is no one in Cangzhou to cultivate the land. The fields are barren as well. It doesn't matter if they are used to grow cotton, as long as Li Jingyang gives the money."

As he spoke, Old Xue stretched out his thumb and index finger and rubbed it in front of Li Mu.

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched and his face changed so quickly?

"No one? How could there be no one?"

"Then I have to ask Li Jingyang."

"What? Ask me? It's my dick?"

"..."

At this time, Sun Chong smiled and walked over to explain.

"This matter is indeed related to Brother Shepherd."

"What do you mean, big cousin?"

"Brother Mu still remember what happened to Li Zekai back then?"

"Li Zekai?"

"Exactly, at the beginning, Mudi cooperated with Li Zekai, the son of the Governor of Youzhou, to raise sheep in enclosures, and then led the farmers to the Youzhou Workshop. Is there such a thing?"

When Li Mu was reminded by his eldest cousin, he suddenly had a wry expression on his face.

Feelings are really my pot?

Hey, that's not right. I didn't give the ox to the plow. Although there are fewer people cultivating the land, as long as the grain output can be guaranteed, the court will not pursue it. Hasn't this matter been over?

Why did you mention this?

Then Xue Dading was upset, so you only fill in the pits in Youzhou. Who else can you go to to make sense?

Li Mu covered his face at the time, it seemed that this was the case, but I didn't have the financial resources to fill up the entire hole in Hebei Road.

Besides, Hebei has a small population, so it can't rely on me, right?

People go to high places, and water flows to low places, it's human nature!

Hebei's economic development in Youzhou is better, and Li Mu has provided employment opportunities, so they will naturally go there.

After all, if you keep farming locally, the harvest is not proportional. The land in Hebei is still a bit too barren.

Even if they don't go to Youzhou, don't these people go to Henan every year?

I can't blame anyone, unless you can get your local economy up.

But in the final analysis, Li Mu still has part of the responsibility.

So he decided to take this set.

The land was deserted and the people were gone. Xue Dading was urinating blood in a hurry. Of course, there was any trick that could solve the dilemma immediately.

As for whether you will not be held accountable, I will talk about it later.

After all, accountability is a future thing, and it may not be.

However, if the shortfall is not resolved immediately, it is estimated that after the winter, it will be double-regulated.

How do you choose for you?

So Li Mu asked, "Is there a big gap?"

Xue Dading nodded seriously, and made an exaggerated gesture, "Is it spicy!"

"And winter is coming soon." Old Xue suddenly added such a sentence.

"Winter? Does winter have any effect?"

"Winter comes, the barbarians around Hebei will come out to looting."

"so..."

Xue Dading really wanted to slap this kid, but he didn't dare.

"So there will be wars. After a war, you have to collect food, money, and soldiers. There are none of these three old men. You will not be held accountable then?"

Soga!

"It's okay if you win, the old man will be dismissed at most. If he loses, the old man will become a scapegoat, and the end will be unpredictable."

hiss. . .

This time it was Li Mu's turn to take a cold breath.

Is officialdom so difficult to mix?

Is the political struggle so fierce?
