Chapter 146: The Racecourse is Completed

"I'm worried that it will disappoint you." Bai Qiaoqiao said worriedly.

"What's disappointment? It's just a business. At worst, you can just lose some money. My husband makes so much money and you're worried that there's no place to put it. If you can compensate me, I'm not too happy." Li Mu laughed and said, "As for the name, we can change it. Qiaoqiao only calls it at home, and when you're outside, you... um..."

Li Mu thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, [Bayi Chinese website www.81zw.xyz] said: "Aren't you named the wife of the fifth-rank Lu County? From now on, we will change our name to Bai Lu. Your Majesty has granted the imperial edict. I think who dares to gossip."

"Deer?" Bai Qiaoqiao recited it again, smiled and said, "This name is good, nice, easy to remember. And it's a coincidence that my mother told me when she was a child that I was born when Bai Lu."

"Isn't that right?" Li Mu held Bai Qiaoqiao and kissed him, "I didn't know before, but I will remember from now on. Every year when Bai Lu, I celebrate your birthday."

"No, I am an ordinary woman, and I am not afraid of having a birthday, I just remember it."

"Well, I will definitely not forget it." After chatting for a while, Li Mu also "recovered" a lot. Just as he was about to try to do it again, suddenly Li Zhien's voice sounded outside the door: "Master, madam, lunch is ready, should I eat outside or hold it in the house?"

"Get up." Bai Qiaoqiao pushed Li Mu and begged. Although Li Mu didn't want to, he responded and said, "Go out and eat later!"

Li Zhien outside the door could not guess what Li Mu was doing. His pretty face turned slightly red and he stomped his feet and left. As soon as he left the gate of the yard, he saw Cheng Yaojin rushing in in a hurry, and ran back quickly, shouting: "Master, get up, that big beard is here again."

"Big Bearded?"

"It's Uncle Cheng." Bai Qiaoqiao quickly reminded him, picked up the clothes and handed them to Li Mu, and fled to the bed, urging him: "Go and welcome him quickly. If you run into him, you won't be alive."

"Oh, it's really..." Li Mu quickly put on his clothes, but thought in his heart that he must set a rule for Cheng Yaojin. It's okay to go straight to the back home.

He complained in his heart that Li Mu had put on his clothes and came out of the house. He happened to run into Cheng Yaojin. When Cheng Yaojin saw Li Mu, he immediately came over to hold him up and pulled him out without saying a word: "Nephew, I have found you. The horse farm you asked me to build is completed in the morning. Hurry up, go with me to take a look!"

Li Mu was dragged so hard that he couldn't stand it and said repeatedly: "Uncle Cheng, please let go first, loosen, let go!"

Li Mu broke free from Cheng Yaojin's iron arm and stood still and said, "Uncle Cheng, there is something I have to say. My nephew honors you, uncle, come here, it can be regarded as giving me face, but my marquis's mansion is not a place to go in and out at will. Especially in the back house, there are female relatives. Uncle Cheng goes straight to the back house like this every time he comes. Could it be that he doesn't take my nephew seriously?"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, looked at Li Mu, frowned slightly, and then quickly stretched out, and said, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, whatever you say, I will wait at the door next time, and let the doorman inform you before going, right?"

Li Mu said: "No, I just need to wait in the lobby. As long as my nephew is at home, I will definitely come to see you right away."

"Oh, you have more rules, go quickly!"

"My nephew hasn't eaten yet..."

"I have some delicious food for you after watching it!"

After jogging all the way, Li Mu called Li Chongyi and followed Cheng Yaojin and his party to the horse farm that Cheng Yaojin built in ten days.

When he arrived at the place, Li Mu knew why Cheng Yaojin completed the horse farm in ten days, because he mobilized the imperial guards to work for him. This is why he dared to do this. If another general was replaced... this would not have happened.

It can be seen that Cheng Yaojin has put his thoughts into it. The entire horse farm is generally the same as the pictures drawn by Li Mu, but it is slightly different in the stands. The stands on all sides are open-air on three sides, and only the north side stands are built to protect the sun and shelter from the rain. The area is also separated by exquisite wooden fences. It is obvious that Cheng Yaojin has such thoughts, which makes Li Mu look at him with admiration.

"This place is next to Furong Garden. During the Wude period, a yard was originally intended to be built. Later, because His Majesty made great contributions, the Supreme Emperor planned to build the Qin Palace here to give it to His Majesty the present. But not long after, His Majesty ascended the throne and did not build it here. Lao Cheng, I was willing to give me this piece of land and build this horse farm. What do you think?"

"It's very good. It's really beyond my expectations to be able to build it to such a level in just ten days."

Seeing that Li Mu agreed, Cheng Yaojin said, "Then let's open the business tomorrow!"

"So fast?" Li Mu asked: "Have you done the publicity I mentioned before?"

"It's easy to promote!" Cheng Yaojin said indifferently: "I'll send my family generals to send posts to various government agencies and tell me if I can."

Li Mu said: "This is not possible. What's the use of racing horses alone? The important thing is to make the people like it. If the people don't like it, they will only have a prosperous time and cannot be traded."

"Then what do you want to do? What publicity? If you didn't say it, I've never heard of this word!"

"Okay, leave me the promotional matters. The business will be opened in three days. You can also prepare in the past few days and select a few good knights. This first game cannot be too embarrassing."

"Okay! Just wait for another three days!" Cheng Yaojin was good at this. He was never good at making decisions about things he didn't understand. Recently, he also saw Li Mu's ability and no longer treated him as a child like before. Moreover, he was not afraid of any aristocratic family. He was one of the few people in this court who could be good at it. He was both the dragon and the family. His wife was the daughter of the Cui clan of Qinghe. She had a relationship with both ends and did not dare to offend him.

It was because Li Mu was attracted by this that he tolerated Cheng Yaojin to take advantage of it several times. After all, they all used each other, and Cheng Yaojin also regarded Li Mu's ability to make money. The annual net profit of Bashang Brewery made him jealous.

After walking around the horse farm, Cheng Yaojin invited Li Mu to a military meal. Cheng Yaojin was not stingy in this regard. Today, the military meal was served. I don’t know where he got ten sheep and found Turkic prisoners to bake, which had a prairie flavor.

When Li Mu asked, he realized that this was a gift from Jie Li. After Jie Li was captured, all the tribes that he had been dispersed gathered and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin gave his tribes the grassland to his tribes. These sheep were sent to Chang'an by his tribes. Jie Li was also a good person. He gave more than a dozen or twenty of the mansions of the Dukes. Cheng Yaojin got these twenty of them in total. He didn't keep them for rewards. It was also generous.
