When he woke up in the morning, Li Mu felt a little headache.
I was a little crazy last night, Li Mu tasted whiskey for the first time, and then he couldn't take it anymore, and he didn't remember how much he drank at the end, and he didn't even know how he was sent back.
Fortunately, there was no bloody plot such as drunken sex, but the clothes on the body were a little wrinkled and needed to be changed.
Chu Xue was still as considerate as ever, and had already prepared a change of clothes for Li Mu at the bedside, Li Mu went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then went out refreshed.
"Will, let's go to the War Department to find Minister William, and then go to the Rifle Association to see what kind of big surprise Burnside has in store for us."
At breakfast, Li Mu explained today's itinerary to Will.
"Well, we don't need to go to Washington Square today," Will was visibly caught off guard.
Lottery ticket sales on Washington Square are not yet complete and will continue today, and are expected to continue until New Year's Day, and then immediately move to New York and Boston, which are the big cities compared to Washington.
"No, Abel and Burnside already know how much money this thing can make, and I bet Able and Burnside will be inseparable from now on."
Li Mu thought very clearly, now is the time to let go.
"Ah, these two vampires" Will was a little unwilling, and slapped his thigh hard.
Will knows what an important role Li Mu played during the issuance of the lottery, and now he sees that Li Mu is almost swept away, and he is very upset for Li Mu.
Li Mu can think about it.,The lottery or something is just playing.,It was originally a stepping stone for Li Mu to make friends with Abel and Burnside.,Now that the goal has been achieved,Then the lottery has become dispensable.。
"Well, don't forget to find someone to claim the prize tomorrow, three thousand dollars," Li Mu reminded Will.
Li Mu is not involved in lottery income, it does not mean that there is no other way to make oil and water, yesterday Tony and Green each fished a carriage, according to Li Mu's plan, only one carriage will be driven today, which will belong to Kenny, and tomorrow there will be two more, these two will belong to Li Mu and Will.
"Hehe, don't worry, I've got a few boxes of whiskey, and I'll be pulled back in a carriage when the time comes."
Will is also welcome, there are a lot of good things caught during this time.
How to say, from the beginning, Li Mu didn't plan to make a fortune relying on the lottery, so it doesn't matter if it's a trickle.
The Lottery Organizing Committee is so unscrupulous to get up and down,Surely it can't hide from everyone,Once someone finds out that all the carriages are finally owned by the organizing committee,Then the lottery is notorious,At least in the Washington area。
To tell the truth, Li Mu thinks exactly so, according to the nature of Abel and Burnside, as long as Abel and Burnside understand how the lottery is issued, then there will be nothing to do with Li Mu, and Li Mu's status in the hearts of Able and Burnside will plummet.
And if the lottery becomes notorious and Able and Burnside are unable to make the expected income, then they will think of Li Mu again, and Li Mu's position in the hearts of Able and Burnside will be unshakable.
This is called taking in advance and giving in advance.
Since this is the plan, Li Mu's eating appearance during this period is also ugly, not only fishing a "night light jade lion", but also no one will get a carriage with Will, as for the other small bits and pieces, there are countless others, as far as Li Mu knows, Will's room is full of whiskey, not "two boxes" at all, if you want to pull them all back to Springfield, a carriage is estimated to be really unfinished.
After dinner, Li Mu and Will took a carriage to the Ministry of War.
In those years, there was no Pentagon, and although the War Department was a government department, it was a non-military organization, and there was not even a unified office space, and the various departments were very scattered, and there were offices of the War Department on the National Mall and Washington, D.C., and even in Maryland and Virginia, which were beyond the boundaries of Washington.
William W.
Berknapp, as Secretary of War, had his own separate office in Washington, D.C., on Constitution Avenue off the National Mall.
Li Mu and Will wanted to see William W Berknapp and had to make an appointment, it is estimated that Able had already said hello, Li Mu and Will did not wait too long, and they got the opportunity to meet William W Berknapp.
In order to win the favor of William W.
Bernapp, Li Mu wore a Massachusetts National Guard uniform, and Will wore the uniform of a Northern Army officer during the Civil War.
Li Mu's "foresight" was useless, at least when William W Berknapp saw Li Mu and Will, there was no change in his expression, and he didn't even make the move to get up, just sat behind the desk, looking at Li Mu and Will coldly.
Will was still a little nervous, but Li Mu was familiar with him, and took the initiative to come forward to greet: "Your Excellency Bernapp, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Abel asked me to take him to greet you." ” Li Mu's words are neither soft nor hard, and the implication is obvious: You old man don't pretend to be forced, Lao Tzu also has a backstage, if you have a brother-in-law who offends the president, don't bother with me To be able to do the position of Minister of War, William W Bernap is not stupid, after listening to Li Mu's words, William W Bernap is finally willing to face Li Mu: "National Guard, you are a member of the National Guard" The National Guard, in fact, is the militia of the United States, Will led the team to participate in the shooting competition this time, all the members are militiamen, Li Mu has now become an American citizen, and it is not a problem to get a militia identity.
"Yes, I'm a member of the Massachusetts National Guard, and I'm proud of that status."
Li Mu was still cautious, and quietly gave another big hat.
William W Berknapp's face finally softened, looking at Li Mu and Will nodding slightly, raising his chin and signaling to the chair opposite the desk: "Sit down, sergeant, soldier" "Sergeant", this is a special name for the sergeant major, at the end of the Civil War, although Will has become an officer, but in Will's heart, the uniform of "sergeant major" is the most popular with Will.
"Your Excellency Bernap, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ream, I am from the Massachusetts Horse Arms Company, my company produces a new model of the python revolver, this gun is the world's first dual-action pistol, with unparalleled ease of operation, even a soldier who has never received military training can master the essentials of operation in the shortest possible time" Li Mu said, sending a gift box that had been prepared long ago.
William W Bernap took the gift box, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then looked at Li Mu's eyes much gentler.
It should be mild, in addition to a "python" type revolver, there is also a bearer check for $10,000 in the gift box prepared by Li Mu, which is a standard gift
