After coming back to his senses, Hu Luo said hurriedly.
He wanted Zhao Hai to suppress the bandits, but he wanted to suppress the mysterious force at the west entrance of Ruyang, not the two water strongholds.
Those stationed at the two water villages are Ke Yi's men.
Why did you come to Ruyang so hard? It was definitely not to invite you to wipe out the water village.
"What? No? Didn't you keep asking me to go to Ruyang to suppress the bandits? Is it possible that the two water villages are not water bandits?"
Zhao Hai raised his eyebrows.
If you want to suppress the bandits, then as you wish, you can clear out the remaining forces for your lord.
"Sir, it's not... it's..."
Hu Luo paused and said that he really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would go astray.
This is great, and it doesn’t matter whether I object or not.
What's even worse is that Zhao Hai didn't seem to want to go to Ruyang to suppress the bandits at first, but he was the one who knelt down and begged.
How can you refuse?
If you refuse, it is very likely that Zhao Hai will be angered immediately.
"Sir, I'm just worried...the two water fortresses are strong and most of the water bandits are very good at water. We might suffer a loss if we go there rashly. How about we move the fortress at the west entrance to level first and then make a decision?"
After a pause, Hu Luo hurriedly spoke again.
He had to find a reason to make Zhao Hai change his mind.
"It doesn't matter, I can think of everything you can think of. Cheng Ruobing, the king of Guangping County, happened to be in Dongdu recently. He is a famous general and has a very strong family lineage. I asked him to come forward and lead troops, and he will definitely be able to annihilate them.
The water bandits restored peace to the people of Ruyang!
And Mr. Hu, please rest assured,
This time I will mobilize all the soldiers stationed in the Eastern Capital, about 3,000 troops and horses. What you just said is not a problem."
Zhao Hai smiled, stood up and patted Hu Luo on the shoulder.
"Having a parent official like Hu County Cheng in Ruyang County is really a blessing to the people of Ruyang."
"Sir, I..."
At this moment, Hu Luo could no longer use words to describe his current mood.
"Okay, the matter is settled like this. Mr. Hu is not going anywhere today. He will just accompany me and serve as the deputy commander of the bandits. We will discuss it carefully and see how to destroy the water bandits!"
Zhao Hai threw away his official sleeve and gave Hu Luo no chance to speak again.
"Someone is coming!"
"grown ups!"
The next moment, two officers with swords appeared at the entrance of the lobby.
"Find a place for Mr. Hu from Ruyang to live. In addition, you two will personally protect Mr. Hu and don't let bad people get close to Mr. Hu."
"yes!"
........
The night gradually deepened,
Ruyang County, the county government office, the lamps are still there, Li Mo is sitting in front of the desk writing "Water Margin", while Zhou Yurou is quietly studying ink aside.
If the copy business wants to continue, it must constantly introduce new copies.
If you rest on your laurels, your business will eventually get worse and worse.
"Husband, what's bothering you recently?"
On the side, after hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yurou couldn't help but ask.
"Um?"
"Looking at my husband, when you were writing the manuscript, you sometimes frowned and sometimes shook your head. Something must have happened to you!"
Zhou Yurou whispered.
A few days ago, she was also studying ink. Her husband was not in this state at all when he was writing a book.
"Some little things."
Putting down the wolf hair, Li Mo looked at Zhou Yurou.
I've been thinking about one thing all afternoon and still can't figure out why.
"Then why don't you tell me, husband? Maybe I can come up with an idea."
Zhou Yurou came behind Li Mo and rubbed Li Mo's shoulders.
She followed all the way and had already put all her thoughts on Li Mo. Especially when she saw Li Mo working day and night on things in Ruyang County, she became extremely anxious.
She could still help with the brewing business before, but she could only worry about the county affairs.
"That's it... You should know about Ke Yi from Ruyang County!"
Li Mo rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"It is said that this person is a tyrant in the county."
"That's right, so he absolutely cannot stay! But this person controls all the silk business in Ruyang County. Once he is removed, it will be equivalent to cutting off the business of those merchants. Without these merchants...
The people in the county will be greatly affected."
"What do you mean, husband, you want to get rid of Ke Yi but also want to keep the merchant?"
Zhou Yurou was already smart and understood Li Mo's thoughts immediately.
"Yeah! However, most of the silk business is owned by wealthy businessmen. Foreign countries need it, so it is difficult for the county government to find someone to take over."
It is said that he, Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng also discussed this matter today, but in the end there was still no way.
Except for Ke Yi, the forces behind Ke Yi will definitely hold a grudge. How can they do business with Ruyang again?
"Then...then...I know some embroidery skills, how about we spin those silks into silk for my husband, make some embroidered clothes and sell them back to Chang'an, Luoyang? Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou?
The high-ranking officials highly praised this item. As long as the embroidery is beautiful, there should be no worries about selling it.
Although my craftsmanship is inferior, I can still pass it by my eyes.
In this way, we may be able to retain some merchants!”
Silence for a long time,
Zhou Yurou didn't know what to do, so she could only try to see if her skills could be of any help.
Embroidery is an essential skill for every lady.
"Made into silk, embroidery? You..."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Looking at Zhou Yurou, Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
I was really busy and confused, how could I forget this matter!
His super brain contains most of the knowledge on earth, including the famous Jiangnan embroidery craft.
As long as Jiangnan embroidery techniques are promoted, are you afraid that no one will buy the silk?
Although the Tang Dynasty also had embroidery craftsmanship, it is incomparable to the modern Jiangnan embroidery craftsmanship that has reached its peak after more than two thousand years of development.
"Husband..."
"Madam, you have really helped me a lot, so... After I finish writing "Water Margin", I will open an embroidery workshop and try one."
The more he thought about it, the more Li Mo thought it was feasible.
"real?"
When Zhou Yurou saw that Li Mo had made up his mind with her casual words, she couldn't help but smile lightly, which became even more charming under the light.
"Um!"
"Husband, shall we continue writing?"
"Stop writing, go to sleep!"
In a good mood, Li Mo immediately stood up, took Zhou Yurou and turned out the lights.
........
After struggling all night, the next day,
As the sun rose, Li Mo stretched his slightly aching lower back, glanced at Zhou Yurou, who was still sleeping, put on his clothes and came to the lobby.
at this time,
All the detectives have been waiting for a long time.
"Sir, the abandoned mansion has been found. Look..."
Seeing Li Mo, the head catcher Zhang Shun hurriedly came up to greet him.
"good!"
Li Mo nodded slightly.
Calculating the time, it is expected that Wang Changling and his party will arrive in Ruyang later today, so the paper must be made today, dried tomorrow, and printed the day after.
There are a lot of top experts here,
Even if the paper won't dry in the sun, there is still a way.
