The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 75

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived, but a villain is not.

After listening to the conversation between Li Muyun and Fatty, Han Fu felt that this new Marquis was not only a troublemaker, but also a villain.

As for villains, you naturally can't not communicate in the way you deal with gentlemen, that will only make all hopes come to naught.

So when Han Fu sat across from Li Muyun, after the good wine and dishes were served, he poured a glass of wine first: "Master Hou, what happened last night was just a misunderstanding, your lord will forgive me a lot."

But what surprised Han Fu was that Li Muyun was uncharacteristically, looked at the dishes on the table, and said very low-key: "I am just an ordinary person, and the reason why I was able to get the position of Marquis is just luck. Don't stab your lord to be so polite."

What's happening here?The Li Muyun at this time seemed completely different from the one in the morning, as if he had changed into a different person.

Han Fu couldn't help frowning secretly, but he didn't show it on his face. He picked up his wine glass and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is joking, and my subordinates have neglected their duties, so that your Master Hou has been wronged for nothing, my subordinate..."

"Like I said, I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I shouldn't be tricked into doing this." Li Muyun didn't even touch the wine glass in front of him, as if he didn't want to give Han Fu this face.

But just when Han Fu looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do, he heard Li Muyun say again: "Actually, all of this was a mistake. My original intention was to give that Sun Liang a step up. He didn't seize this opportunity, so the marquis hat was put on my head. Do you understand me when I say this?"

What do I understand?Should I understand?Han Fu's eyes were misty.

Seeing that Han Fu didn't speak, Li Muyun pondered for a while, picked out a piece of meat from the dish, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and at the same time said slowly: "I mean, I'm just a common man, I just want to pass me by in peace. It's beyond my control for such small days, major events in the world, and people's sufferings."

"But now because of the title of marquis, I have five thousand more people to support."

"Do you know how many people there are in Shanyin County? More than 2000 people!" Li Muyun stretched out two fingers, and said like a joke: "Do you know what's going on in Shanyin County? Such a broken place, tell me what I need to do."

Han Fu remained silent, of course he knew the situation in Shanyin County, and in fact his Shuozhou prefecture was stronger than Shanyin County, how could he not know about the hardships Li Muyun said.

But what if he knew?As mentioned above, he and Li Muyun have to face the same situation. If he can solve this problem, no matter whether it is Shuozhou or Shanyin County, they can already leave the country's "Top [-]". National financial subsidies are required every year.

Fortunately, Li Muyun didn't say that he didn't really want to find the answer from him, everything he said was just an introduction.

After trying all the dishes on the table, he signaled to the yamen servants who followed Han Fu to take them to the five minions, while he himself took Han Fu's wine glass and poured it out.

"What's the meaning of Hou Ye?" Han Fu looked at Li Muyun in surprise.

"You are not wine, but vinegar." Putting two empty wine glasses together, Li Muyun took out the small iron jug from his body: "Today I will let you try what real wine is."

Aren't all wines the same?It's not that I haven't drunk the royal wine in the palace, seeing Li Muyun's mysterious appearance, I feel disgusted in my heart.

But when Li Muyun slightly tipped the flagon in his hand and poured out the clear and mellow wine, Han Fu's expression changed, he became extremely serious, his eyes were fixed on the two wine glasses.

"This wine is brewed by a certain person. Let me give it a try." Li Muyun filled two wine glasses, picked up his own glass, took a sip, and then said: "But this wine is not weak. Let me give it a try." It would be best to..."

"Please!" "Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Obviously, Li Muyun's instructions were a bit slow, and before he could finish speaking, Han Fu had already swallowed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

But fortunately this guy is young, Li Muyun didn't pour much for him, only half a tael at most, so he didn't get bored for the time being.

But this was enough, within a moment, Han Fu's face was flushed red, his eyes were fixed on the iron wine jug, it seemed that if Li Muyun hadn't been holding the wine bottle, this guy would have Take it by yourself.

The yamen servants who followed him also looked at Han Fu with envious eyes. The strong aroma of wine made them salivate and licked their lips constantly.

Li Muyun looked at Han Fu's appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart. He poured him another cup and said, "Han Shijun, have you ever heard that you can eat mountains by relying on mountains, and eat water by relying on water?"

"Master Hou has something to say, but it's okay to say it!" This time, Han Fu didn't rush to swallow all the wine, but followed Li Muyun's example and sipped it little by little.

"We are located on the border here, coupled with geographical conditions and environmental factors, this makes it difficult for us to find resources to feed the people from the land. You must admit this?" A good communication medium, he said to Han Fu with a smile.

"That's right." Han Fu nodded but didn't say much, as if he was waiting for Li Muyun to continue.

"Since the envoy also agrees with Li's point of view, has the envoy considered other advantages of our Shuozhou?"

"Hehe, what advantage does Shuozhou have!" Han Fu shook his head and smiled wryly, picking up his wine glass.

"Being at the border is an advantage. Hasn't Mr. Han thought about it?" Li Muyun filled Han Fu's glass of wine again, with a very happy smile on his face.

"Master Hou thinks too much. Apart from being harassed by many parties, the biggest advantage of this border land is that it can exploit some merchants who pass through the border. But those big merchants who can do business with foreigners have no background, and which one is ours. It can be exploited."

Han Fu obviously drank too much, and even said the words of exploiting the businessman.

But the energy of being bored is too great, and it is difficult for people to stay sober once they are drunk.

So when Han Fu woke up again, apart from having a splitting headache, he always felt that he had said something that should not be said, so he called the yamen servant who accompanied him to the prison that day, and asked with a strong headache: "Third son , What did this officer say to Li Muyun in the prison yesterday? Can you still remember?"

The yamen servant named 'Third Son' thought for a while, and said with a strange expression: "My lord..., my lord promised that Xiaoyaohou at that time, that he would send him three hundred catties of grain, fifty head of healthy cattle, and more by the end of the month." There are hundreds of horizontal knives, war horses..."

With a "Gudong", Han Fu rolled his eyes before the 'Third Son' finished speaking, and fainted with a "heck".
