Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 728
Liu Mu was also drinking tea, bowing his head in silence.

This Keemun Red has far exceeded Liu Mu's imagination of the best tea, but Liu Mu still said against his will that it is still a little far from the world's number one red, it is commendable but still needs to work harder.

Good mountains, good water, good tea trees.

The Tea Merchants Association has tried its best to find a room full of classics on agronomy, botany, tea science, etc., which can be thought of.If it is still not good enough, then there must be something that is not enough, so the tea merchants will always work hard.

After a long silence, Dugu Lanruo finally said, "Xing'er is right, this is her right."

Hearing Dugu Lanruo's expression, Xie Xing'er's eyes flashed with joy, but she still didn't say anything, holding her teacup silently.

But the truth is that Baoqin came here: "Is there anything to think about? To paraphrase what Lang Jun said most often, this is when she reflects the value of her existence. I think this matter doesn't need to be brought up on the table. If you want to blame it, you can blame it." As soon as Lang Jun arrived in Hangzhou, he ordered something to prepare to go to sea, and there is nothing to fish in the sea."

"Baoqin, why don't you hurry up and see how the kitchen is getting ready?" Dugu Lanruo didn't dare to let Baoqin continue talking like that.

When he was alone with Liu Mu in private, Liu Mu Chong's holding the qin was lawless, but this situation must not be shown in front of Xie Xing'er or Xiao Ling'er.

Suddenly, Liu Mu found that he had no freedom at home, especially in the backyard.

Xie Xing'er didn't pay attention to Bao Qin's attitude when speaking, but thanked Bao Qin for speaking for her.

The matter is actually very simple, Xie Xing'er has menstruation inconvenience today, Liu Mu wanted to take the opportunity to go to sea, go straight to Cixi from Hangzhou to visit the local area, and then make some preparations for the affairs of the county.

Xie Xing'er refused, so she found Dugu Lanruo to ask for justice.

Even if Liu Mu goes out, he has to bring himself.As for the night, his personal maid can replace him, it's as simple as that.

In Dugu Lanruo's view, this matter is not the same thing at all.

As Bao Qin said, Xie Xing'er's personal maid came into play at this time.

"Husband, Jiang Ke from Cixi has already gone to the front station, not to mention it will take some time for the county magistrates to come from Chang'an. It is not appropriate for the husband to inquire about everything in person. Let the county magistrates Come up with some proposals first, but also to see how capable they are?"

Liu Mu knew that Dugu Lanruo changed the subject for him.

Dugu Lanruo still understands Liu Mu and understands Liu Mu's thoughts, even though Xie Xing'er's personal maid is still young.

Liu Mu immediately interjected: "Cixi's multi-million dollar business, not to mention the marriage with Cui's this time. Also, when the Taiyuan Wang's went to propose a marriage, the standard was very high, and the grand uncle also wrote a special letter." Mentioned. Cui, Wang, and Lu's families are coming over, and I want to make preparations for these things."

After thinking about it, Liu Mu said again: "Also, I want to take this opportunity to make Hayato more reliable."

Xie Xing'er, who had been silent all this time, put down her teacup, and first looked at Dugu Lanruo.

After seeing Dugu Lanruo nodded, Xie Xing'er said: "Husband, Xing'er has a plan, which is not very glorious but has a strange effect. This plan was thought up by an old housekeeper of my Xie family. I tried it in several villages on Wa Island. It worked wonders."

"Oh, tell me."

Liu Mu asked this out of curiosity, and secondly, to change the topic just now.

Xie Xing'er said: "In the mulberry forest villages of Wa Island, we first secretly select suitable target Japanese people, and then give them some opportunities to learn Chinese characters. Then the key point is that if these people make mistakes, the village head will teach them a lesson without hesitation. They, in severe cases, will be slapped in the face."

Palming the face is a punishment.

In the Tang Dynasty, this was an upper-middle form of corporal punishment. It could be beaten directly with hands or with a small bamboo board.

Because it hits the face, it is above average.

Xie Xing'er continued: "If you are convinced and you can correct your mistakes, then you will be rewarded."

Liu Mu asked: "What if you are not convinced?"

"Marginalization makes this person and his whole family invisible in the whole village. After several months of... training!" Xie Xing'er used the word training, which was also chosen after she considered it. .

"After a long time, the Japanese people in those villages gradually formed a habit. It is even an honor to be taught a lesson by the village chief. The person with the right to speak, the bronze medal prepared by your husband, and only such a person is eligible to get it."

Liu Mu patted his head lightly: "I remembered, I asked to prepare the bronze medal. It's just that people who haven't thought about anything are eligible to get the bronze medal, but your old housekeeper gave me a good idea. There are rewards for meritorious service. I will send a formal official document to Donggang Shipbuilding Department, asking Uncle Sun Guo to reward him for his meritorious service, and even grant him an official position."

"Thank you husband."

The housekeepers of the big households are actually high-ranking servants. Although they live better than ordinary people, they have family property but no status.

In the household registration of the government, they are still servants.

It is not a trivial matter to appoint an official. If a servant becomes an official, his whole family, children and grandchildren will also be raised in the household registration level.

In fact, without Xie Xinger's report this time, Changsun Wuji has been paying attention to this matter for a full month. For this reason, Changsun Wuji personally went to several villages on Wa Island.

At the same time as Xie Xing'er and Liu Mu were talking, at the sunny slope of a small village on Zhuzi Island thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, Changsun Wuji was inspecting the mulberry forest here, is it as reported.

And in the open space outside the village, the rewards for the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are being distributed.

Changsun Wuji watched from a distance with a telescope.

I saw an old man in his 50s, with half of his hair and beard gray, slapped a Japanese man who was not tall but strong four times when he rounded his arms.

The Japanese raised his head and was beaten, and after the beating he bowed his head to listen to the training.

Someone in Changsun Wuji is in the village, so he will come closer to listen to what the village chief has to say.

The village head said sternly: "How did I teach you that the law has nothing to do with human feelings, and justice also has human feelings. You don't avoid relatives when you give virtue, but you are not allowed to allow others to be relatives. Do you know how many mistakes you made today?"

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong." The Japanese bowed his head respectfully.

The village chief folded his hands behind his back: "Slapping you four times means that you have made four mistakes. The first mistake is that your younger brother is very skilled in martial arts, but when you recommended the deputy captain of the village guard, you did not recommend him."

"Yes, I worry about being accused of cronyism."

The village chief poked the Japanese man's chest twice: "Everything is in your heart, how can you be afraid of being criticized for being fair in your heart?"
