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

Chapter 123 Trade War, Yes!
"Li Jingyang, has the food from Northwest and Hetao arrived?"

This sentence was asked by Xue Dading to Li Mu, and it was not the first day to ask him. These days, he chased after him almost every day to ask Li Mu, which made Li Mu very irritable.

What's the matter, as for being so anxious, I arrange the deployment and organize the delivery of manpower, don't these take time?

Really think that I am a fairy, can I directly transform it for you?

"Xue Shijun, since I promised you, I won't break my promise, so don't worry."

Li Mu stood calmly by the river to supervise the construction process of the pier, and his attribute of civil engineering dog was very obvious.

Of course, Li Mu can calm down, but Lao Xue can't calm down.

This buddy is so anxious that he is about to urinate blood. He wants to make up for the deficit, develop the economy, make political achievements, and even lead the people of Cangzhou to a well-off life. Can you not be in a hurry?

If it weren't for Li Mu's request, this buddy would want to hack Li Mu to death every minute, so that you can pretend to be aggressive.

After all, Lao Xue was a ruthless man who hacked people with thousands of troops and gobbled up mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Don't you have any blood and temper?

So seeing Li Mu's relaxed expression made him angry.

Li Mu is not as anxious as Lao Xue, after all, he is just an outsider, and he belongs to the mentality of being able to pull and pull.

Why, do you still want me to feel the same way as you?

Besides, he didn't intend to be a moral saint, it was too tiring.

I saw Li Mu standing by the Wudi River, with his hands behind his back, looking at the opposite bank with a pretentious face, and then said leisurely.

"Xue Shijun, look at the two sides of the river, the soil is fertile, if it is cultivated into good fields, it will definitely increase the yield a lot."

The corner of Xue Dading's mouth twitched suddenly, are you the smart one?As long as you know that the geology is fertile and can be reclaimed into good fields?

Does this old man look like an idiot?

So Xue Dading said with contempt on his face, "Of course, the old man knows about fertile soil and reclaiming good land, but you don't know about Li Jingyang. On both sides of the Wudi River, there are floods every year, and both sides are flooded all the year round. What's the use of fertile soil?" What is the use of reclaiming fertile land?"

When Li Mu heard this, he was a little embarrassed. Nima wanted to pretend to be forceful, but who knew it was hasty!
Speaking of the flood, Lao Xue was also suffocated.

Nima, why should our Cangzhou be flooded by the Yellow River?

You bastards in the upper reaches will release the flood downstream whenever there is a disaster. Have you considered the feelings of the people in the lower reaches?

Go to your uncle's upstream bastards, you guys are shit!

Anyway, when this issue was brought up, Lao Xue was furious.

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Mu quickly coughed a few times, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

After a pause, Li Mu continued, "Then why don't we build canals, which can not only drain floods but also irrigate, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Beautiful dick!

Old Xue almost directly complained about Li Mu standing and talking without pain in his back.

"Li Jingyang, I don't have money, how can I repair the canal without money?"

Li Mu's dick hurt in an instant, forgetting that this guy is a pauper, and it's no one who is so aggrieved as the leader of the place.

But there is no way to be aggrieved. Who calls this a poor state?

Not only poverty, but also a lot of disasters.

The boundary of Cangzhou belongs to the lower reaches of the Yellow River. In ancient times, it was normal for the Yellow River to flood once a year.

Once there is a flood, the downstream will naturally be the disaster area.

No way, who told you to be downstream, accept your fate.

After the flood raged, Cangzhou, which is located downstream, had to be soaked by the Yellow River again.

After the water dries up, the land in Cangzhou will basically be useless, at least for a period of time without crops.

Therefore, the construction of water conservancy is very necessary for Cangzhou.

But, then again, the construction of water conservancy is a big project.

Are you rich in Cangzhou?Is there any food?anyone there?

The money should be given to the chief officials of the counties, the food should be given to the elders of the townships, and the people should be conscripted for corvee.

If you don’t have money, your officials won’t work for you. If you don’t have food, the local old guys won’t work for you.

Anyway, Xue Dading couldn't afford any of them.

Of course, if you don’t have money, you can ask the court for official documents and enforce them.

However, people don't work hard, and then they will build a tofu project for you.

If something goes wrong, who do you think the imperial court will attack first?

Therefore, generally no idiot would do such a thankless job.

But today, a "fool" stood up.

Who is this "fool"?
Li Mu.

He suddenly proposed, "Xue Shijun, if I pay you to repair the canal, will you do it?"

What?
Xue Dading was suddenly a little confused, what the fuck did the old man hear right?

Do you also do such thankless things?

This doesn't fit your personality at all, Sao Nian!
But Li Mu had a serious expression on his face, it didn't look like he was joking with him.

"Why, Shijun Xue dare not?"

Obviously, if Xue Dading agreed, he would have to bear this risk.

But is Lao Xue an ordinary person?Obviously not, when this guy reaches middle age, he starts to feel compassion for others.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Li Mu mention the matter of cooperation in building water conservancy projects, he immediately became energetic.

Immediately made a decision, "Fuck him!"

"Okay, okay, Xue Shijun is righteous, I admire you!"

"Not as many as Li Jingyang, Li Jingyang is a role model for my generation."

"Okay, don't brag about each other, let me tell you, old Xue, if this channel is repaired, the extra fertile land may as well be planted with mulberry and hemp."

"Sang Ma?"

"Exactly, mulberry can be used to raise silkworms, hemp can be used to make rope and clothes, etc., which are very useful. I can collect them all at that time, and the money will not be short of you."

Now Li Mu's "Hengda" construction team has more and more businesses, which need to consume a lot of hemp rope. If there is a planting base, it will definitely save a lot of money in the future, why not do it.

As for planting mulberry and raising silkworms, needless to say, Lao Tzu has advanced textile technology, and when the time comes to package these things into high-end products and directly play export trade, wouldn’t it be a huge profit.

When Xue Dading heard that Li Mu wanted to accept everything he ordered, he immediately regained his energy.

He even started counting with his fingers, counting how many Yutian fields in Cangzhou can grow mulberry.

As for food, let me go.

Not to mention Cangzhou, even the whole of Hebei, the benefits of that kind of land are hard to describe.

Regardless of natural disasters, even man-made disasters are enough for them to drink a pot.

why?

Because every year some small tribes who are hungry and crazy come to catch a wave.

It would be fine if these people directly snatched them away, but at worst, everyone just set up a battle.

The point is that these guys are very wretched, they don't know how to rob and steal.

This is a bit of a pain in the ass.

You can't let the frontier soldiers squat there every day to guard, right?
What the hell, the consumption alone is enough for the local states and counties to have a headache, it's better to just let those small tribes steal it.

Therefore, Lao Xue doesn't mind at all about replanting mulberry hemp, as long as someone harvests it.

On Li Mu's side, he was thinking a little long-term. Apart from saving money as a reason, the bigger reason was foreign trade.

After all, he has already started to build ships now, and it is imperative to go to sea.

Li Mu was afraid that he still had scruples, so he emphasized the role of this thing again.

"Old Xue, at that time, after the silk and hemp are processed, they can be sold to overseas places such as Baekje, Silla, and even Dongying. Don't worry, I have a ship. After this wharf is built, the ship will go from Cangzhou to the Bohai Sea. It is stable and elegant." Ruffian!"

Li Mu even had an idea before that he wanted to use the trade war to bring down Goguryeo, to see if he could destroy Goguryeo without a single soldier.

But if you think about it carefully, forget it. After all, this thing has been played by Guan Zhong and his elders. As a regional power, Goguryeo has no reason to understand.

Therefore, it is better to engage in steelmaking honestly, and just work hard with them directly, without having to do so many bells and whistles.

But weak chickens like Baekje, Silla, and Dongying can give it a try.

If these weak countries can be controlled by the trade war, then it will save a lot of effort to use these neighboring countries to besiege Goguryeo together.

Well, yes, there can be a trade war!
