It was already very late when the banquet ended last night. The gates were closed and the guests stayed in the mansion. When Li Mu saw Li Bi, he quickly greeted him and said, "Thank you for your help to maintain it yesterday. The boy was unable to drink and taught me how to laugh."

Li Bi laughed and said, "My eldest nephew is too modest. You can drink more than one jar with three cups of wine. Is this a waste of alcohol?"

Li Mu laughed loudly. His alcohol content was indeed nothing in later generations, but in this era of Tang Dynasty without high alcohol, his alcohol content was considered top-notch.

After the greetings, Li Bi talked about the serious matter and said, "Big nephew, I came to you to ask if you have any arrangements today. If you have time, let's go to Bashang. The winery has been built according to the drawings you drew, and the wooden parts have been prepared. If you have no problem after reading it, we will start construction on a date."

Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard this. The Duke's Mansion was indeed a rich heritage. Such a large winery was built in a few days. How could he know that for this winery, the Duke's Mansion almost stopped everything and sent all his slaves. Li Mu's wine was like a mountain of gold, and no one was anxious when he saw it. The Duke's Mansion's family had a great business and had a lot of expenses, and they were also short of money. Not only him, but even Changsun Wuji, the nobles of Chang'an City, were short of money, otherwise why would he have to be greedy for the 20,000 yuan filial piety of the Zheng family in Jiangnan every year?

"Since my second uncle is ready, after breakfast is finished, we will go there. I have prepared the iron parts, and the wine koji are ready. In the past, I pulled a few trucks of grain and installed the equipment. If there is no problem, I will try brewing this afternoon to see how the effect is."

"Okay! Then I'll make a decision. I'll send a message to load the grain into the truck, and ask the other side to prepare it."

After Li Bi finished speaking, he left. Li Mu looked back at the account, frowned, and said, "You! Don't worry about the affairs of the mansion for now. Go to the winery with me later. Accounts..." Li Mu looked around and saw Li Zhien hiding behind the rockery, saying, "Little girl, come here!"

Li Zhien was shocked when he was discovered, but he didn't dare to come over. He came to Li Mu as he spoke. Li Mu pointed to Li Zhien next to him and said, "She will take care of the accounts first. Do you understand what else does not change?"

"promise!"

The servants responded with a loud voice. Li Mu asked Bai Naoer where he lived and brought the accountant to find Bai Naoer.

Bai Naoer woke up early and didn't sleep well these days. That day, he came to Chang'an, and only stayed in Cao's mansion for one night, and then took the land deed of the twenty hectares given by Li Mu to An's house in Bashang. These days, he had never entered Chang'an City. It was not that someone looked at him, but that he did not dare. Although Bai Naoer seemed to be so powerful on weekdays, he was seven points smaller in courage when he left Mayi City.

During Dingxiang, Li Mu became a county magistrate who was not listed, so Bai Naoer couldn't make trouble. Now that Li Mu was granted the title of Marquis, Bai Naoer saw that his calves were twitching. The biggest official he had ever seen in his life was the county magistrate of Mayi City. Bai Naoer didn't understand how big the marquis was, because it had exceeded his imagination.

These days, Bai Naoer has been staying on the twenty acres of land given to him by Li Mu. Li Bi sent three craftsmen to help him build a house, and he has been busy with work and dared not come to find Li Mu. If Bai Gensheng had not been home for a few visits, he would not even know the news about Li Mu. Last time Bai Gensheng came home, he talked about Li Mu's winemaking. Bai Naoer remembered it in his heart. He knew about Li Mu's cooperation with the Duke's Mansion, and also remembered that Li Mu had promised his position as the shopkeeper, but he did not dare to mention it now, for fear that Li Mu had changed his mind and would annoy him again after he mentioned it. But he couldn't let it go, he was worried and couldn't sleep well for a day.

"My father-in-law, the son-in-law is here to pay homage."

When he arrived at the door, Li Mu said loudly. Bai Naoer heard Li Mu's voice in the room, and jumped up from the bed. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked Wang who was cleaning up next to him, and said, "My wife, did I hear it wrong? Is it Li Mu coming?"

Wang glanced at him and said, "Yes, I'm here to pay my respects to you."

"Oh my! Longevity is short, how can I ask my son-in-law to pay my respects to me, the immortal,? Oh!" Bai Naoer jumped out of the bed, pulled her shoes, took two steps at a time, and almost fell down. She rolled and crawled to the door and opened the door. Seeing that it was Li Mu, she quickly let the door open and said, "Why is the son-in-law getting up so early? Oh, come in quickly and enter the house!"

Li Mu had already got used to Bai Naoer's face, and was not surprised. He entered the house, found a chair and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Father-in-law, the winery has been prepared almost all over. I will go there later. If there is no problem, I will start the trial brewing this afternoon. I promised earlier that I would like to be the shopkeeper of the winery. I wonder if my father-in-law is willing to do it now?"

"Do it, do it, do it!" Bai Naoer said countless times, and Li Mu thought he had stuttered. Bai Naoer swallowed his saliva and said, "Son-in-law, I have been thinking about this, and I dare not tell you, Oh, I have to be my good son-in-law. I have never forgotten me, I will be convinced by what I say!"

Li Mu automatically filtered out Bai Naoer's flattery and said, "Since my father-in-law is willing to do it, let's talk about it first. The transaction belongs to Li Siwen and I. According to the agreement, I will provide technology and material resources. I account for 55% and 45% of them. There is also a shopkeeper on the other side, the surname is Huang. You are my shopkeeper and I will recommend you later. You will discuss the matter in the future. I don't know how he will pay the shopkeeper Huang, but on your side, I plan to give you half a profit. What do you think?"

"Half-finished?" Bai Naoer thought to herself if it was a little less, but he didn't dare to say this. Seeing his expression, Li Mu guessed what he was thinking and said, "Father-in-law, if you think it's too little, I can give you fifty taels a year."

"Fifty stakes?!" Bai Naoer was shocked by this number. He had a fifty stake. When he opened a wine shop in Mayi, his annual profit was less than five stakes. It suddenly expanded ten times. He couldn't even think about it. Bai Naoer was about to agree, but his words were all the way to his mouth, but suddenly felt that it was not right. Intuition told him that he would definitely regret choosing fifty stakes.

Bai Naoer's eyes rolled three times, she laughed and said, "Son-in-law, it's better to be half done."

Li Mu took his expression in his eyes, and said nothing, "Then let's make a decision. Qian Dahai next to him, and I will follow you to do the accounting in the future." As he said, he paused for a moment and said in a more stressful tone: "Father-in-law, let's talk about ugly things ahead. The accounts of the winery must be clearly calculated. Not only do you have accounts, but also Storekeeper Huang also has accounts. If you can't match the numbers, you can't afford to take care of any problem. Don't blame your son-in-law for being ruthless."

Bai Naoer's expression froze when she heard this, and she tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "What, how is it possible? Are you still worried about me?"

Li Mu did not say anything, signaling Qian Dahai to stay and get to know Bai Naoer for a while. He got up and went out. He also wanted to see Li Ji and discuss Li Yuan's business.
