I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 122 An Erle, I'm Happier With You!
Xue Dading's troubles can be summed up in two words, shortfall.

So now he urgently needs Li Mu's investment. With the investment, he will have money, and with the money, he can make up for the shortfall.

Li Mu took a look at this guy, and since he decided to give him a hand, he might as well be a good man to the end and send Buddha to the West.

"Xue Shijun, since the matter has come to this point, why don't you just do it to the end and help you tide over the difficulties once and for all. Tell me, how much have you lost?"

Xue Dading was shocked when he heard the words.

Why are young people nowadays so good at blowing it?
"Li Jingyang, are you serious? Can you really help a certain person through this difficult time on your own?"

"hold head high!"

Ang your sister ah Ang!
Xue Dading felt that this guy was fooling him. At this moment, he even began to wonder if he had found the wrong person. This kid is so nonsense, can he really cooperate?
"How about this, in addition to paying the money, I will send you some food, so that you don't have to go to the relationship to ask someone to sell you food. If you owe a favor, you will be slaughtered. I will take pity on you." Li Mu After Ang finished, he continued to add such a sentence.

This sentence undoubtedly hit Xue Dading's G-spot, but!Isn't this kid talking nonsense?Does he really have this ability?

At this time, Xue Dading undoubtedly expressed deep doubts in his heart.

But with such a glimmer of expectation, what if it is true?

If it is true, then this wave of his old Xue can be said to be a salted fish turning over!

So he looked at Li Mu eagerly with longing eyes, "Li Jingyang, do you have food?"

"Yes, I can transfer some from Northwest and Hetao for emergency."

Xue Dading was suddenly a little confused, you wait, you wait for the old man. . .

When did the surplus grain in Northwest China be transferred out?

Are you kidding me?
But Li Mu's serious expression didn't look like he was joking with him at all.

"Li Jingyang, is there any surplus food in the northwest?"

At this time, the eldest cousin Sun Chong stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Master Xue doesn't know something. Brother Mu used to operate in the Northwest for a period of time. He farmed and reclaimed land. What's more, the herds are worthless, and the Northwest is not what it used to be."

hiss. . .

Xue Dading contributed to global warming on the spot.

"This... is this true?"

"Hmm, although I don't want to pretend, it's the truth." Li Mu said with a proud face.

"..."

After Xue Dading was stunned for a long time, his face suddenly turned serious, and then he straightened his clothes, and finally. . .Made an unexpected move.

He suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, as if he had been shot by an arrow in his knee.

Li Mu almost peed in fear, why is this Datang?That's right, it's Datang, definitely not Taqing!This buddy kneels so directly, can't it be that Ta Qingchuan came here?

He hurried over to help him up, but it was a pity that the arrow on Lao Xue's knee was a little deep, and he just couldn't get up.

"Shijun Xue, what are you doing, get up!"

"Li Jingyang, this old man is not kneeling for himself. This old man begged Li Jingyang to save the people in Cangzhou, and even the people in Hebei."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head deeply.

Li Mu's whole person is not well, what the hell, old Xue, you are from Hedong, how are you from Hedong, why are you so considerate of Hebei people?

You are so enlightened, it makes me feel ashamed, okay?

Xue Dading suddenly said with emotion.

"Xue has seen many bad things during his years as an official in Hebei, and he wanted to change, but he was powerless after all.

Severe droughts, floods, and locusts are all common occurrences for the people of Hebei. Every time a natural disaster strikes, the grain production is reduced by at least [-]%, and many people die of starvation every year.

Xue is an old man who participated in the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, after the war disaster was over, he was almost starved to death, but there was nothing he could do at that time. The old man thought at the time that everything would be better after the war was over.

But now it is a time of peace, so why starve to death?The old man is unwilling, the old man is unwilling! "

When Xue Dading said it, he didn't express much excitement or heart-piercing, but Li Mu could feel the strong emotion in it.

The two fell silent.

After a while, Xue Dading continued, "So now I only have one idea, so that the people under the rule can have enough to eat and not starve to death. As for how to eat, what method should I use? I don't want to go into the details, as long as Li Jingyang has a way to feed the people of Cangzhou, and I am willing to be driven by Li Jingyang, and I will die!"

"..."

Li Mu was speechless, but at the same time moved.

Well, to be honest, I was moved by Lao Xue's talk.

"Xue Shijun, get up and talk, don't worry, Mu promises you, I will help you realize your wish, and ensure that the people in Cangzhou will have a bite to eat and will never starve to death. If you have spare energy, you can also seek a benefit for Hebei."

When Xue Dading heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, and his heart was full of joy. Then he bowed his head and bowed again, and then got up.

After getting up, Lao Xue patted his chest and promised that as long as the food is enough to pay the court's tax, under this premise, all the fields, mountains, forests and waters in Cangzhou will be unconditionally at Li Mu's disposal.

Anyway, the imperial court only collects taxes, as long as the tax is in full, they basically don't care too much about you.

Therefore, there is a lot of room for maneuver here.

Li Mu felt that the deal was worth it.

Although the land in Hebei is relatively barren, how barren can it be compared to the Northwest?
I can do it in the Northwest, but I can't do it in Hebei?

Anyway, he had a Quyuan plow and an eight-ox heavy plow, and there were countless herds of cattle. He transferred them directly from the pasture, so it would be no problem to open up wasteland on the spot.

So the two sides shook hands and said good-bye, expressing a happy cooperation.

. . . . . .

the other side.

Chang'an City.

Inside the palace.

The palace of Princess Changle.

At this moment, Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, was crouching in the arms of her eldest grandson mother shyly, acting like a baby.

Empress Changsun hugged her dotingly, patted her on the head and smiled, "Liniang, from now on you are no longer a child, you have to learn to take good care of yourself, you know?"

"Got it, Mommy, I'm not a child anymore, I'll save it."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Empress Changsun looked at her daughter with a smile, and was filled with emotion for a while.

Because her daughter has finally grown up.

Commonly known as the big aunt!
At this time, Li Lizhi was 12 years old, and it was normal for her to come to her aunt.

In ancient times, 12 years old was considered a big girl and could be married.

Think of her eldest grandson Wugou who had sex with Li Shimin when he was 12.

"Did you tell others about Liniang's menstruation?" Empress Changsun asked kindly.

After all, in the royal family, this kind of matter is considered a major event and needs to be handled properly.

"No."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"However, I wrote to Brother Mu a few days ago to ask." Li Lizhi suddenly asked shyly.

"What? You told Mu'er?"

"Yeah." Li Lizhi nodded.

Empress Changsun immediately covered her face. How can you tell a man about this kind of thing? You are so big-hearted.

Fortunately, Mu'er is not for outsiders.

While Changsun Wugou was consoling himself, suddenly a servant came outside to report.

"Queen, some things were sent from Hebei, saying that Li Jingyang sent them to the noble lord of Changle."

Empress Changsun and Princess Changle suddenly became interested.

"Bring it in."

"Here!"

Soon an exquisitely packaged rectangular package was brought over.

"Aniang, did you get it from Brother Mu? What is it?" Li Lizhi had a curious and happy expression on his face.

"Open it and have a look." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"it is good."

Then Li Lizhi happily opened the package.

I saw several packs of white cotton cloth after opening.

"What is this?" Li Lizhi looked confused.

After all, Empress Changsun is well-informed. She picked it up and took a closer look, frowning slightly.

"It looks like a white drape, but it's the first time I've seen a white drape like this."

"Aniang, there are words on it." Li Lizhi suddenly pointed to the words on one of the packaging bags.

Changsun Wugou hastily looked down, only to see three characters written on it.

"An Erle?"
