Chapter 818 Basic situation
What people were talking about was the facts, and Li Mu couldn't argue, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Even if I follow you, right? Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can save people to the end." As he said that, Li Mu said again: "You like to eat jerky, right? You help me, I care if you will have a jerky life? How much do you want to eat!"
"It's true that he is a Chinese family who loves to talk big." The girl said, "Who can eat meat every day? Do you really think that she is a rich man?"
"I didn't say anything big!" Li Mu couldn't laugh and cry: "I'm really rich, I..."
"Okay, I don't have time to listen to you talking nonsense." The girl looked down on Li Mu again in her heart. This man not only wasn't dedicated to his affection, but also spoke big talk. Why was he so unlucky? It had something to do with him.
Li Mu didn't know why the girl was angry. He just wanted to solve the problem in front of him now. The two continued to walk forward, and Li Mu said without saying anything: "Miss, may I ask..."
"I dare not take it." The girl said sarcastically, "I am not a lady. There are no ladies in the Miao village, and I am not as spoiled as your Han family."
"Okay, okay," Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Then, this girl?"
"What a lady, I have a name!"
Li Mu couldn't help it and said, "I just want to talk to you well. If you have a name, you can tell me. Are you looking for trouble?"
"What's wrong with finding fault? Who has nothing to say? I didn't tell you!"
"..." The man was under the eaves and had to bow his head. Li Mu held back his anger and said in a friendly manner again: "What should you do to help me? If you offer the conditions, can I agree to anything?"
"If it doesn't work, I just don't bother to pay attention to you."
"..." Li Mu was defeated and had not recovered for a long time. He was not a shameless person. He had been a marquis for so long and also developed the arrogance of a superior. He was a bit hurtful of self-esteem by the girl, so he didn't say anything. He made up his mind to follow the girl first. He had to meet someone, and then separate from her when he met someone else. The grace of saving his life, when he met Dugu Jiu and the others, he would find a way to repay him. He couldn't serve this girl anymore, and he was just unreasonable!
I really don't know where I offended her!
The girl kept secretly glanced at Li Mu's expression, and when she saw that he was a little discouraged, she felt a little too much in her heart.
In fact, she is not such a mean person. If there is nothing between the two, although she doesn't like the Han family, it wouldn't be like this. But now, as long as she sees Li Mu's face, something about being polite will appear in her mind, and she really can't overcome this hurdle.
But after they separated, somehow, they were afraid that they would never see him again in their life. As long as they thought of this possibility, they would feel so sore and want to cry.
Although Li Mu didn't say anything, it doesn't mean he gave up completely. He was a marquis for most of his life, and in the last life he was a grandson for most of his life - Party A's father's grandson. When he was just working after graduating from college, he was angry with his bosses and old men in the company because he had no qualifications and no experience, and was angry with Party A's father in the company, and he was also accused by his long-term battle.
After a while, he felt relieved after he was angry. Li Mu was a very resilient guy. When he thought about the current situation and could not find any other way, he decided to try again and find a breakthrough from the girl.
Why does a girl have any objection to herself?
Of course, Li Mu never thought that it was because he saved him, and he lost his first kiss with his temper, and was confused inside. What he could think of was another reason.
From the moment she met, the girl was wary of him. When she was just talking, she spoke again and spoke in the Han family and Miao family, and the boundaries were clearly divided. In this way, she should be hostile to the Han people.
Where does this hostility come from?
Li Mu thought about the fact that when the Tang Dynasty was founded, Miaojiang wanted to be independent, but Li Xiaogong led his troops there. The Miao people knew that they were defeated and surrendered, so they were pacified. Since then, Miaojiang has gradually split, and Wumiao is closer to the Han people, and has received help from the court, and its power has become increasingly large. Baimiao maintains tradition and is incompatible with the gradually sinicized Wumiao. The Miaojiang area has formed a confrontation, which is what the court wants to see.
Li Mu didn't know how to distinguish between the black and white seedlings, but judging from the girl's attitude, it should be that the white seedlings. If she was really a white seedling, her hostility towards the Han people would be understood.
Li Mu thought about it, spoke again, and said, "Girl, do you hate Han people?"
"So what?" Sure enough, Li Mu guessed, Miao Nv replied, "You Han people are cunning and treacherous, bullying others with power, and you won't let them say it? Others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid." He said that he was not afraid, but the flash of his eyes could not deceive people, as if he was to give himself courage. The girl added: "You can't beat me!"
Li Mu smiled dryly and said, "Miss is so powerful that she is no match for me. However, the girl should have misunderstood. I am not a Han Chinese who bullies others with power as you said. I am very fair in doing things."
The girl sneered: "Every Han people say this, but in the end they are bullying people?" The girl said angrily: "If you don't say anything else, just talk about that river. There was a bridge originally, but it was demolished by you Han people. So when I saw you fall into the river, I didn't want to save you. You are a Han family and deserve it!"
"It's not me who demolished it." Li Mu felt extremely aggrieved and murmured in a low voice. However, this also solved his doubts. Why did the road be cut off? It turned out that the bridge was demolished. Li Mu still had doubts and asked, "The river surface is so wide, how can I build a bridge? Don't lie to me."
"Who lied to you!" said the girl angrily: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, my father said it, how could it be fake? Besides, the river is not all that wide, there is a narrow place upstream. My father said that there was a suspension bridge that was demolished by your Han family."
"Oh," Li Mu then realized that it seemed that the girl was not lying, and this matter was most likely true.
From the upper reaches to the lower reaches, the water flow must be slower and the river surface will be wider and wider. Inferring from this way, there may be a narrow place upstream, twenty or thirty or even thirty or forty meters wide, so it is not completely impossible to build a bridge. It is said that there is a kind of vine on Sichuan and Shu that can not be damaged after being soaked with oil, and the sword cannot be damaged, and the water will not be flooded. When building bridges, such materials are usually used. They only need to be weaved very long, then thrown into the river, and then find good water properties to pull it to the other side. Dozens of people work together to fix it. With a rope, the suspension bridge can be built.
The girl continued to mutter: "Without the bridge, most people in the Miao villages in Jiuxiang Shibawu cannot cross the river. If you want to cross the river, you have to sacrifice your life. Tell yourself, are your Han family members bad?"
"They are pretty bad!" Li Mu took himself out first and said curiously: "If the bridge is demolished, they can't leave either, right? Are there no Han people here? Isn't there an official?"
"Yes, there is." The girl said angrily: "They have a big ship, only the Han family is allowed to sit, and not the Miao family is allowed to sit!"
"So that's it." Li Mu nodded and understood completely.
This should be one of the ways the imperial court controlled this place. The Minjiang River was used as a natural barrier as the interval, limiting most of the Miao people to the other side of the river. If they could not cross the river, they would naturally not be able to pose a threat. It just made the people of the Miao village suffer, they could not cross the river, and they would always live in the mountains and forests, unable to do business, and they could not trade. The living standards can be imagined.
In the words of his previous life, it was difficult to get rid of poverty.
From this perspective, it is normal for the Miao people to hate the Han people. This is equivalent to locking people in a huge prison, who can be happy?
"If you help me, I will build a bridge for you. Name it after you, and you will be in charge of it for generations. What do you think?"
"Really?" The girl was very happy. If this was true, the people of Miao Village in Jiuxiang and Shibawu would be blessed. But then she thought, how could this young boy in front of her be able to do it? Even if he was from a wealthy family, how could he fight with those officials? But if he had this kindness, the girl's impression of him was still a little relieved.
"Even if you are telling the truth, you are too simple." The girl said to Li Mu's "Popular Science": "It's very easy to build a bridge. If you don't need to get money, will the people from our Miao Village still be able to build it? It must be up to your Han official to decide, you, haha,"
official?
Li Mu wanted to laugh after hearing this. I am a third-ranked rank and the first in the world. We are also a contestant standing in the first two rows in Liangyi Hall. Are you looking down upon? What a great official, you dare to be the master in this marquis!
"Do you know who can decide this? I'll talk to him, maybe it will be possible?"
"You'd better forget it," the girl continued to popularize the science: "You're afraid you don't know. Master Guan is not that easy to see. I've lived so big that I've only seen the county magistrate once. People's feet don't touch the ground..."
"Is it a cripple?"
"What a cripple, someone is carrying it, someone is carrying it." The girl glanced at Li Mu, feeling that he seemed like a rusty bun, and had never seen any world before: "If you walk on the mountain road, you won't go down the ground, and you will change your shifts."
What a great power! Li Mu gritted his teeth. I am the first time in the world. I didn’t say I could walk in a chasing trip when I came to this mountain. You are a small county magistrate. Such a great power is so great? I hate people who are more arrogant than me in my life. Don’t let me see you. If you see you, you must break your legs. Don’t like someone to carry you? Let’s just let you be carried for the rest of your life!
"And this matter is not something that the county magistrate can decide." The girl's attitude became much better, and she continued to 'popularize science' for Li Mu: "I heard my father say that it seems to be called... Um," the girl's memory seemed to be not very good. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered it and said, "Ah! I remembered that she was called a governor, and it must be something that the governor could decide."
Li Mu thought to himself, this matter is probably not decided by the governor. When it comes to treating hundreds of thousands of Miao people, it must be the governor's level of the imperial court, and then the court decides to implement it.
Xuzhou is the territory of Sichuan and Shu. The largest official in this place is Tang Jian, the governor of Shuzhou who was delegated from the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Li Mu's old stepfather in the name of Li Mu.
It turns out that I am a serious second-generation official in this area.
"I will definitely help you with this!" Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Just treat it as thanking you for your life-saving grace."
"Hey," the girl smiled, not sarcastic this time: "Just think what you said is true, I thank you."
Seeing that it was time for dinner again, the girl stopped and took out dry food from her bag and distributed it to Li Mu. Perhaps it was Li Mu's behavior that volunteered to build a bridge that changed the girl's impression of him. This time, in addition to dry food, the food he gave him was also an extra piece of jerky meat.
Li Mutou once felt that the jerky meat was so delicious. Tears were about to fall. Seeing him like this, the girl smiled and said, "Look at you like that, and she said she cares about me for the rest of her life. You rarely eat it, right?"
"No, I..." Li Mu wanted to explain, but when he thought of what he was just now, it seemed that it was useless to explain, so he had to smile bitterly and let the girl think about it casually.
"Well," the girl hesitated for a while, took out the jerky meat from the bag and divided it into two portions. The same is true for dry food, and they were all divided into two portions and handed it to Li Mu: "This portion is for you, so you can ask me for it again. There is a market at the foot of the mountain, which is where the people of Shibawu, Jiuxiang, Miaozhai exchange things. When we get there, let's separate. If you are waiting for your brother there, I will do my business." It turns out that I am a serious second-generation official in this area.
"I will definitely help you with this!" Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Just treat it as thanking you for your life-saving grace."
"Hey," the girl smiled, not sarcastic this time: "Just think what you said is true, I thank you."
