Chapter 75 Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the water to drink

As the saying goes, a gentleman can deceive him, but a villain is not.

After listening to the conversation between Li Muyun and the fat man, Han Fu believed that this new master Hou was not only a troublemaker, but also a villain.

As for villains, you naturally cannot not communicate in a way that deals with gentlemen, as that will only make all hopes vain.

So when Han Fu sat opposite Li Muyun and placed the good wine and dishes, he poured a glass of wine first: "Mr. Hou, what happened last night was just a misunderstanding. You guys are very grateful."

But what surprised Han Fu was that Li Muyun was abnormal, looked at the dishes on the table and said in a low-key manner: "I am just an ordinary citizen. The reason why I was able to get the position of Marquis is just luck. I should not make the sect so polite to the Lord."

What is this situation? Li Muyun at this time seemed completely different from the one in the morning, just like a different person.

Han Fu couldn't help frowning in secret, but his face did not show it. He picked up the wine glass and said sincerely: "Mr. Hou was joking, and his subordinates were dereliction of duty, so he was waiting for this unjust injustice, and his subordinates..."

"I said, I am just an ordinary citizen, so I should not be so arrogant." Li Muyun didn't even touch the wine glass in front of him, and it seemed that he didn't want to give Han Fu this face.

However, just when Han Fu looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Li Muyun said again: "Actually, all this is a coincidence. My original intention was to give Sun Liang a step forward. I didn't expect that he didn't seize this opportunity, so the marquis' hat was put on my head. Do you understand if I say this?"

What do I understand? Should I understand? Han Fu's eyes were confused.

Seeing that Han Fu didn't say anything, Li Muyun thought for a while, picked out a piece of meat from the dish and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said slowly: "I mean, I am a commoner, I just want to live my little life peacefully. What are the major events in the world and the sufferings of people's livelihood that I can't control."

"But now, because of this marquis' title, I have more than 5,000 people to support."

"Do you know how many people are in Shanyin County? More than two thousand people!" Li Muyun stretched out two fingers and said in a complaint: "You know what is going on in Shanyin County? There is no sunny day, and no sunny day in the sky, and no three miles flat in the ground. Such a broken place, tell me what I need to do."

Han Fu was silent. Of course he knew the situation in Shanyin County, and in fact, Shuozhou Prefecture is not better than Shanyin County. How could he not know the hardships Li Muyun said?

But what if you know? As mentioned above, he and Li Muyun need to face the same situation. If he could solve this problem, whether it is Shuozhou or Shanyin County, it would have long been able to leave the top 500 in the country, so why do we need national financial subsidies every year?

Fortunately, Li Muyun didn't say that he didn't really want to find the answer from him, and everything he said was just an introduction.

After trying all the dishes on the table, he signaled to follow Han Fu to take them to the five minions, and he himself took Han Fu's wine glass and poured them out.

"What does Mr. Hou mean?" Han Fu looked at Li Muyun in surprise.

"You are not wine, but vinegar." Putting the two empty wine glasses together, Li Muyun took out the small iron wine pot from his body: "Today I'll let you try what real wine is."

Isn’t the wine the same way? Even the palace wine I have drunk, but I have never drunk it. Looking at Li Muyun’s mysterious appearance, I felt sorry for her.

However, when Li Muyun poured the wine pot in his hand slightly and poured out the clear and sweet wine juice inside, Han Fu's face changed, and he became very serious, staring at the two wine glasses with his eyes tightly.

"This wine is brewed by somebody. Please try it." Li Muyun filled the two wine glasses, picked up one of his glasses, took a sip, and then said, "But this wine is quite strong, so I'd better be able to..."

"Please!" "Bang" "Cough cough... OK, good wine, it's really good wine. Master Hou has such a treasure in his hand. I admire him!"

Obviously, Li Muyun's instructions were a little slow. Before he could finish his words, Han Fu had already poured the wine in the glass into his mouth.

Fortunately, this guy is young, and Li Muyun doesn't pour much for him, at best, only half a tael, so he has not been bored for the time being.

But this was enough. In less than a moment, Han Fu's face turned red, and his eyes were fixed on the iron wine pot. It seemed that if the wine shell had not been held in Li Muyun's hand, this guy would have snatched it by himself.

The yamen runners who followed him were also looking at Han Fu with envious eyes. The rich aroma of wine made them salivate and kept licking their lips.

Li Muyun looked at Han Fu's appearance and felt a little funny. He poured him a cup again and said, "Han Jun, have you ever heard of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water?"

"Mr. Hou has something to say, but it's okay!" This time, Han Fu did not rush to stuff all the wine in one sip, but instead sipped it little by little like Li Muyun.

"We are located on the border, and with geographical conditions and environmental factors, it makes it difficult for us to find resources to feed the people from the land. Is this a matter of your recognition?" Li Muyun said to Han Fu with a smile while feeling that wine is indeed the best communication medium among Chinese people.

"No," Han Fu nodded but said nothing, as if waiting for Li Muyun to continue talking.

"Since the envoy also agrees with Li's point of view, have the envoy considered other advantages of our Shuozhou?"

"Haha, what other advantages can Shuozhou have!" Han Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and picked up the wine glass.

"Location on the border is an advantage. Didn't Han Jun think about it?" Li Muyun poured Han Fu a glass of wine again, and smiled happily on his face.

"Mr. Hou has been thinking too much. In addition to being disturbed by many parties, the biggest advantage of this border is that it can exploit some transit merchants. However, those big merchants who can do business with aliens have no background and which one can exploit us."

Han Fu obviously drank a little too much, and even said the words of exploiting the merchant.

However, the energy to get bored into the donkey is too great, and once you get drunk, it is difficult for people to stay awake.

So when Han Fu woke up again, except for the splitting headache, he always felt that he had said something he shouldn't say, so he attracted the yamen runner who accompanied him to the prison that day, and endured the headache and asked: "Three sons, what did I say to Li Muyun in the prison yesterday? Can you still remember it?"

The yamen runner named "Three Sons" thought for a while and said with a strange expression: "Sir..., the sir promised that he would send him three hundred kilograms of grain, fifty strong cows, hundreds of swords and war horses before the end of the month..."
