Li Mi never forgot to plant grain, but the harvest is still the same. Even the city and county within the Wagang sphere of influence were similar to before without natural disasters.

Not to mention that the production increase has been increased, the situation has been much further down. This aspect is reflected when tax collection is collected every year. If there is less tax, it will naturally cause problems.

Li Mi's ambitions were all in his plan, and the people did not expect anything, so he was under no pressure.

However, his strategy is still very reliable. Whether it succeeds depends on execution ability.

Shan Xiongxin escorted the caravan to Youzhou to see Xu Maogong and found that the other party had lost weight, which was a bit big from the previous one, and almost didn't recognize it.

"Mr. Mao. What's wrong with you? People look a little haggard."

Shan Xiongxin was still very concerned about this military advisor. At this time, Xu Maogong was not in a state. He thought that it might be because the procurement matters were not agreed upon, and he was hindered.

"Letter brought by Duke Wei."

Xu Maogong knew about himself. During this period of time, Tong Fu often took him to the tavern, but it was different from the tavern he had visited before, and it was not the kind of high-consumption place.

The tavern they chose is smaller in size and has music, singing and dancing, but not very noisy, and the price of wine is normal. Not only does it have wine, but also many dishes.

He was thin but was healthy, but he had no choice but to rely on himself.

When he saw Shan Xiongxin leading the team today, he understood what Li Mi meant. Don’t look at the person who led the team, and there were many people who said it.

It is precisely because of the price issue of this purchase that Li Mi knew that there was actually no support from Youzhou, Wagang City was still not confident.

The result was exactly like this. Shan Xiongxin said that he came here this time and fortunately handing over some mercenaries with the City Shoufu, and the most important thing was the purchase of soldiers and armor.

"What, twenty thousand exquisite armors, do you know how much it costs?"

Xu Maogong had to be surprised that the soldiers and armor used by the elite Wagang now are at the lowest price, and even this price is not something that any force can afford.

How much money does it cost to buy 20,000 more exquisite sets of military armor? He cannot obtain the core things in Wagang City now, but from some external trivial expenses, we can know that they are definitely not as rich as imagined.

"Don't worry, all the caravans were dispatched this time, and all the people brought were iron ore."

After Shan Xiongxin said that, Xu Maogong was silent. He was so angry that he wasted these resources so much that he could say that in exchange for exquisite military armor, he actually took out all the reserves of Wagang in recent years.

Although it is just iron ore, not gold, silver and jewelry, their value is equivalent.

It would be better to have so much iron ore than to build exquisite weapons by yourself, but thinking about it, he could understand Li Mi's ideas.

The blacksmiths in Wagang really couldn't compare, otherwise they wouldn't have proposed to buy exquisite military armor. What made him silent was Li Mi's attitude towards things.

For the sake of vanity and his desire, he ignored the development of Wagang City. In his opinion, what is left to do if this continues is despair.

Think about it again, sadly, he has no authority, so this kind of thing should not be his wish.

"What's wrong with you, Maogong?" Shan Xiongxin saw that something was wrong with Xu Maogong.

"It's okay, I just think the expenses are a bit big this time."

"Now the iron ore has been taken to the city guard office for handover. The procurement matters should be as soon as possible. Duke Wei repeatedly instructed us to rush back within the prescribed time."

"kindness."

After the two met, they immediately began to act separately.

Xu Maogong went to Tong Fu to discuss the procurement matter. This time the procurement price was no longer an obstacle, so the discussion was very smooth.

After the agreement has been made, the other party's caravan will immediately load the supplies to the designated location. After handing over the goods, the people guarding the city will not care.

All the subsequent matters will be handled by the caravans in Wagang. If you need to hire a caravan, there are several caravans in the city that can provide services at any time.

However, the caravan brought by Shan Xiongxin certainly did not need such service. They were all ready to ship the second trip.

The caravan was filled with food. So much food made Dan Xiongxin's transportation a little nervous. However, Xu Maogong did not follow him back because he had to wait for the caravan to return and transport the remaining goods away before he could go back.

So Xu Maogong became idle again.

Taking this opportunity, Tong Fu put aside some work and contacted him again. The things he talked about became easier and easier, and the scope involved became wider and wider.

In Youzhou, I feel relaxed like this because no one cares about anything.

The think tank's plan to poach people has been going on, and today it is a very important action, which is to make Xu Maogong drunk.

Under a long period of depression, someone took the initiative to guide him, but as a result, Xu Maogong began to complain without restraint after he drank high.

When he woke up the next day, he was completely unaware that all his behaviors when he was drunk were accidentally heard by the person accompanying the guards. He, the person involved, was unaware.

Tong Fu completed the task, and it was not him who guided him deliberately, but some passers-by. If people from Youzhou were dispatched, they would definitely be suspected. This risk must not be taken because it is unnecessary.

There are many people in the tavern that cannot be verified at all, and even if they really find it by chance, there is no evidence.

Besides, it is a matter of guiding the mood to make others deviate by chatting with others. In the eyes of think tanks, they are all small means.

The effect is very obvious.

After Xu Maogong returned, Li Mi knew what was going on in Youzhou. Imagine what was going on if your boss heard that his subordinates were complaining behind his back.

What's more, Xu Maogong has a certain reputation and connections among the Wagang soldiers. If he really wants to do something that is not conducive to Wagang, he can sell a lot of news in a minute.

Li Mi is a cautious person, and his extravagant lifestyle problem cannot affect him as a capable person, so he thought a lot about Xu Maogong's issue, after all, it cannot be cut off with just one knife.

Some of his subordinates joined him later. If Xu Mao was really exposed, it would have a great impact on him.

Besides, his next important thing is to be emperor. If he does something that affects internal harmony, it will be purely unhappy for himself.

What's more, he knew about this matter by sending someone to see it, so he couldn't tell it out directly, as it would have a greater impact.

I can only write down the matter first. Anyway, Xu Maogong no longer has the core right to let him do other things without seeing them. You won’t be upset.

Xu Maogong didn't know that his job would be completely transformed into a free job in the future. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with before, but this time he would not arrange a job for him directly.

Li Mi did not do so suddenly, so she handed over the matter of rituals to Xu Maogong, who was responsible for etiquette, clothing, ceremonial guards and other matters.
