Year 194, summer.
Yanzhou, Puyang.
The sun was scorching hot and the heat was unbearable.
However, in a small house in the south of the city, it was windy.
"Sir, I'm really not good at playing the sheng!”
It was a beautiful woman with bright eyes and curved lips. She was as pretty as a peach in spring and as pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn.
Her skin was like jade, and there was a scholarly air between her eyebrows.
It was the daughter of the former Minister Cai Yong, Cai Yan, known as the talented woman of Luoyang.
In a small building, a young man in a brocade robe sat quietly and played the zither.
His body was cold and his appearance was dignified.
His eyes were like stars, and his eyebrows were like paint.
Chest horizontal broad, have ten thousand people difficult to match the prestige; His words are dignified and his ambition is high.
Brave and bold, like a lion descending from the clouds; His bones were strong, and his muscles were strong, like a pixiu on the ground.
He was like a demon descending from the heavens. He was really the god of the year.
The young man's surname was Li Mu, and his word was Xianmou. He was a native of Yu County, Chenliu County, and Cai Yong was a native of the same county.
In the past, Cai Yong was conscripted by Dong Zhuo into the court. When he passed by Yu County, he betrothed Cai Wenji to Li Mu and entered Luoyang without any worries.
Li Mu couldn't persuade her, so he could only bring Cai Wenji away from Chenliu and live in seclusion in Puyang.
In the autumn of the second year of Chuping, the Black Mountain Army led by Yu Du, Bai Rao and Sui Gu attacked Wei County, Dongjun and other places. Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, could not resist.
Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao to Dongjun, and Li Mu took the opportunity to respond to Cao Cao's order and help Cao Cao defeat the Black Mountain Army's Bai Rao Division in Puyang.
In the spring of the following year, he helped Cao Cao defeat the Black Mountain Army in Dunqiu and defeated the Black Mountain Army in Neihuang and the Xiongnu in Dongjun.
As a veteran strategist during Cao Cao's founding period, although Li Mu had made outstanding contributions, he remembered the three commandments of a strategist: To plan without making friends, to ask without planning, and to plan must have three strategies.
After Cao Cao established himself in East County, he began to live in seclusion in Puyang City. He spent his days with his wife, Cai Wenji, playing the zither and playing the zither. This life was quite leisurely and comfortable.
Cao Cao wanted Li Mu to be the magistrate of Puyang, but Li Mu refused.
"I'm just a strategist, and you want me to be the county magistrate?”
"Don't be nepotism, my lord!”
The reason was so convincing that Cao Cao felt helpless.
Who said that a counselor couldn't be a county magistrate?
What nepotism? It was clearly a matter of selecting talents and not avoiding family and enemies. Only talent was recommended!
Cao Cao, who was lacking talents, naturally did not agree to let Li Mu be a salted fish strategist. He stubbornly appointed Li Mu as the Puyang Magistrate.
But soon, Cao Cao noticed the problem.
Li Mu really didn't know how to be a county magistrate. After he took office, the only decree he made was for the soldiers and civilians of Puyang City to raise chickens and ducks. The more chickens and ducks they raised, the easier it was for their relatives and friends to gain Cao Cao's trust!
As for the daily affairs of the county magistrate, such as settling cases, public security, farming, and mulberry, Li Mu found it troublesome and threw them all to the county magistrate."The highest realm of being a county magistrate is to make sure that there is no county magistrate in the hearts of the army and the people!”。
Li Mu, on the other hand, accompanied his wife, Cai Wenji, all day long. He toured the mountains, played the piano, ate, drank, and had fun.
He had not gone to the county government for three consecutive months.
Puyang's government affairs were reported by the county magistrate to East Wuyang.
This made Cao Cao very uncomfortable.
Li Mu was indeed talented. The Black Mountain Breaking Army was established in East County mostly because of Li Mu. Cao Cao couldn't kill the donkey after it was done. Moreover, this Puyang Order was appointed by Cao Cao.
Even Xun Yu could not help but impeach Li Mu.
In the end, Cao Cao chose to ignore it.
As long as there was no problem with Puyang's government affairs, Cao Cao could not be bothered!
"Wenji, if you're willing to bet, you must admit defeat.”Li Mu chuckled, his expression elegant.
It was a scorching summer day.
Li Mu made a bet with Cai Wenji that he could make the spring house cool and cool.
Cai Wenji naturally didn't believe it!
On such a hot day, even if there were maids holding large cattail leaf fans, the wind produced was still hot.
But who was Li Mu?
Li Mu was very clear about the way the ice cellar worked.
This Clear Spring Villa was a very special place. There was an ice cellar and a clear spring. It was blessed by the heavens.
Li Mu found a craftsman and set up waterwheels inside and outside. Just like the Cold Hall of the Tang Dynasty's Daming Palace, the power of the waterwheel was used to drive the blowing device to blow the cool wind from the ice cellar and the spring into the small building.
The effect was not inferior to the central air conditioning in large shopping malls!
Moreover, it was natural wind, so he wouldn't get air-conditioning problems.
"But, but this concubine is really not good at playing the sheng.”Cai Wenji blushed. It was obvious that blowing the sheng was difficult and even embarrassing.
Enjoying the cool breeze, Li Mu smiled elegantly.""Those who are good at archery are only skilled in their hands. It's the same for playing the sheng.”
"Sir, I'm going to make soup. I won't talk to you anymore!”Cai Wenji's eyes were filled with anger. She stomped her feet and fled like a frightened rabbit.
Li Mu looked at Cai Wenji, who had left shyly, and sighed."There's still a long way to go!"
Li Mu was immersed in his self-entertainment when the sound of a horse bell approached from afar.
Immediately after, a vigorous and anxious voice sounded outside the small building.
"Is Xianmou here?"
"Xiahou Dun is here to visit!"
