Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

In this year, due to the production volume, the price of salt produced in Wudi, especially the filtered fine salt, has dropped to half of what it used to be.The drought, which is not severe, can't stop the major merchants from coming to Jiangdong in a steady stream, bringing a large amount of grain, pig iron, silk, brocade, and even merchants from Xiliang who brought more than a hundred vigorous breeding horses. Exchange low-priced table salt with Jiangdong, and then sell it to Beidi at a slightly lower price of [-]% to [-]%, earning a huge profit from the price difference.

The river estuary in Wujun soon seemed to have insufficient throughput due to the busy boats.Therefore, after discussing with Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, etc., Li Mu made a decisive decision to demolish and rebuild the original ferry. All the manpower and material resources were borne by a businessman from Guangling County, Xuzhou with a half-year salt quotation. down.

From the craftsman's office to the salt field, and then to the ferry, Li Mu was so busy that he seemed to have returned to the scene when he worked overtime to catch up with the project in his previous life. He also had to take Sun Shao to watch Zhou Yu's army practice, build a boat in the water village, and then go to the horse farm to practice riding and shooting. In the past year, although the crops have been harvested, taxes and taxes have been paid and the people have their own jobs, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore, but she can still stay safely in the county mansion for a few days, and ran all over the six counties.

Also in this year, the reputation of Taishici's youngest sister filtering the sea into salt also spread throughout Jiangdong along with the news of Zhou Yu's marriage proposal.

After the first spring rain of the new year, Zhou Yu transferred Lu Meng back from Wancheng.

The situation in Jiangxia gradually stabilized after this year.At the beginning, Liu Biao sent troops to conquest in an attempt to regain the land of this county, but the four counties of Changsha refused to respond.Liu Biao sent troops across counties to attack, not to mention the heavy food consumption, and was beaten back several times by Gan Ning, and one time Yu went around from Jiangbei Wancheng to the back of Jiangxia to avoid the front of Gan Ning's navy, but was watched by Lu Meng. Not only did he eat up his forwards in one bite, but if Wancheng Zhangxiu hadn't responded quickly and sent troops to rescue in time, the entire army would have been wiped out.

Since then, the Jingzhou army has never entered Jiangxia territory lightly.

On the day when Lu Meng entered the city, it was raining lightly, which created a layer of mist between the sky and the earth.Under the curious gaze of the spring plowing people outside the city, two thousand infantry marched in line at the gate of the city, stepping on bits of flying mud.

On Li Mu's right was Zhou Yu, while on his left he was holding Sun Shao, and he led a team of personal guards to greet him at the gate of the city.

Lu Meng walked in the front first, and saw that still thin figure standing in the middle from a distance, separated by the cool mist and rain, his heart was burning and he was beating suddenly.

"Meng Li has no merit, so why dare the Lord welcome you personally?"

After this year's wind and rain, the young man who escaped became calmer, taller, his cheeks became thinner, his bronzed face became more resolute, and his demeanor faintly showed the demeanor of a general Prestige.

As soon as Li Mu let go of his hands, Sun Shao went up first and asked Lv Meng: "General Ziming and all the soldiers fought bloody battles outside, each with their own merits. Once welcome, what is there to do?"

The little boy's voice was crisp and clear. Because he ran around and never stopped riding and shooting, his original white appearance faded away, and his wheat-colored skin, which was similar to Li Mu's, looked extremely energetic, and his height was half a head taller than children of the same age.

This sentence was taught to him by Zhou Yu last night. Although he hadn’t experienced this kind of scene this year, he saw many people and things. In the face of this black and dusty army of hundreds of battles, he speaks clearly and looks like a young man, even if he can still see a little nervousness, in general, for a child over seven years old, he is already extremely uncomfortable. easy.

Seeing that the child's back was straight, and after supporting Lu Meng, he turned around and blinked at her quickly, with his high raised chin begging her for praise, Li Mu couldn't help laughing.

She has never brought up a child, and she doesn't know how to teach her child, so she can only follow the four words of leading by example. No matter where she goes or what she does, she always takes him with her, listens, sees and asks more, let him see what she sees, listen See what she hears, tell him what she thinks, and listen to him tell what he thinks.Some things she didn’t understand clearly, she asked Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and everyone who could ask, and the answers they gave were different, and then they thought about why they were different.Put yourself in the situation and slowly analyze the different ideas hidden in these answers.

I have to say that Sun Shao is a very sensible and self-disciplined boy.

Lu Meng paid his full salute, and when he stood up and looked up, he happened to see Li Mu looking at Sun Shao and smiling slightly.

There was still a thin drizzle in the sky, and the long hair tied behind her head was half wet, and a few strands were scattered and entangled with the sideburns and hung down on both sides of the cheeks, glowing with a layer of black luster, which set off the Her smile was as moist as if soaked in water.Lu Meng only felt that his heart was soaked in a puddle of water, and drops of rain fell straight into it, causing layer after layer of ripples, rippling to his limbs and bones in circles.

Sun Shao turned around and walked back to Li Mu's side, raised his head and grinned at her, looking at her with big black and white eyes.

So Li Mu let him hold on to his sleeve again, and while Zhou Yu ordered his troops, he freed up both hands, arched at Lu Meng, and then punched him on the shoulder like before: "I haven't seen you in almost a year." , Ziming still remember the promise of wine making in the past?"

Lu Meng naturally did not forget the way Li Mu's eyes shone when he talked about this matter.But after Zhou Yu came back, Li Mu left with the army in a hurry, and then all the cities were put under martial law because of Sun Ce's incident, and all the military affairs were all over him, so he had no time to think about it.

Suddenly mentioning it at this time, he was secretly feeling guilty, but he didn't want to see Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, waving at him as familiarly as when coaxing him to read the Taigong Liutao: "Tonight I will hold a banquet in the city to reward the army. , please ask Ziming to try this wine."

Lu Meng was taken aback: "This wine...is it brewed?" Inexplicably, there was a trace of pity.

"Usually three urns of wine can be steamed into such a jar." Li Mu stretched out his hand to gesture the size of the jar, and winked at him, "Zi Ming must not get drunk tonight."

Still with that thin and slender body, still with that frank and straightforward temperament, Lu Meng looked at the boy in front of him who was only three years younger than him, but half a head shorter than him. The panic dissipated in an instant.Grinning brightly, Li Mu slapped Li Mu's shoulder back: "Nonsense! When did I ever get drunk..."

Before he finished speaking, his fist didn't even touch Li Mu's clothes, and he was suddenly stopped by someone, and there was a sudden pain in the elbow. Before Lu Meng could react, the outstretched hand retracted involuntarily.

"Gongjin, you..." Looking at Zhou Yu who blocked half of Li Mu's body at some point, Lu Meng waved his hands in confusion.

Zhou Yu smiled lightly, raised his brows, and answered the second half of his sentence: "Tonight depends on how much you can drink without getting drunk." Lu Meng felt a slight chill in the simple sentence, and shrank his head subconsciously. He wiped it vigorously on his face.

Li Mu's military banquet was set up with a lot of wealth and wealth, a urn of fine wine was usually enough, and the distilled spirits gave off a strong aroma, which was no softer than ordinary wine.The entrance is hot, which is extremely irritating to the throats that have adapted to brewing wine in this era, which is very in line with the aesthetics of these big soldiers.

The spirits at the banquet were distilled by Li Mu exhausting all the stored wine, and the food exchanged for the first batch of salt was enough to brew another batch of new wine.Thanks to Zhou Yu leading the canal in advance, Jiangdong's grain production is stable this year, coupled with a steady stream of salt production, she can fully afford the consumption of wine making.

After a few rounds of drinking, several soldiers who were greedy for drinking were already top-heavy and were helped by the waiters to rest in the room for a while, while Lu Meng's eyes were bright, and he was fighting for the second pot with Zhou Yu. A vigorous young general in the army came to "ask for advice" from Li Mu with the help of wine.

Li Mu never put on airs on such occasions, he held the wine cup with a smile on his face, and almost answered every question.Even if she was asked when she would marry the girl whom she had been thinking about when she was away on an expedition, she only raised her eyebrows, said lightly about her parents' orders, and then patted Sun Shao's head, and she naturally dismissed her.

Mrs. Wu lives in a simple place, and is obviously still immersed in the funeral of her eldest son, and Sun Shao is even more filial to his father, and coupled with his young age, on such an occasion, he only brought a cup of fruit juice and followed Li Mu to toast with her .

For a while, the half-drunk soldiers became sober, and some of the people clamoring for a toast were also buried.After only a moment, someone changed the topic and asked about ordnance.Li Mu smiled triumphantly, and said that they were allowed to enter the craftsman's house only because of their military merits, which immediately aroused a wave of excitement.

Even though he was able to deal with it freely, Li Mu still didn't dare to drink the distilled spirits. He only drank the original wine brewed from rice.

Lu Meng was drinking slightly drunk, when he looked up, Zhou Yu disappeared.Slowly put down the wine jar, pushed aside the crowd and looked around, only to see Zhou Yu standing in front of Li Mu at some point, boldly raising his bottle to the soldiers.

At this moment, a small school from outside the door rushed in, ran to Li Mu's side, and reported to Sun Shao: "A fleet was found at the mouth of the Guangling River, and it was under the banner of Liu Bei."

In the noisy hall, he didn't say these words too loudly, but the soldiers around Li Mu and Zhou Yu could hear them clearly, and fell silent immediately.

As a result, this layer of tranquility spread like the floating waves in the river mouth. Except for a few soldiers who were really drunk and shouted happily, even if the other soldiers did not hear the report, they suddenly found that the general was here. The atmosphere suddenly sank, and gradually became quiet.
