Li Mu left with one-third of the craftsmen. Before leaving, he handed Yu Wengui a thousand stagnant of money, asking him to be responsible for purchasing and preparing for the construction of the Ministry of Industry. Yu Wengui was about to talk to Li Mu in detail, but Li Mu did not give him a chance. Yu Wengui had no choice but to find Li Daliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Sir, do you think this is not a mess? I will not talk about the craftsman's grading matter. Those two leaders were called by people from Duke Zhao's Mansion. You know the situation. Do we dare not go if we hire people from Duke Zhao's Mansion? There is also the matter of building a workshop. He will have to build it after taking the money... Is this the rules? The most ridiculous thing is that he wants to take the craftsmen to make money. He is a doctor in the Ministry of Works and works as a contractor. How can this be done!"

When Li Daliang first heard this, he frowned slightly, but after listening, especially after reading the map taken out by Yu Wengui, the place where Chongrenfangfang was drawn in circles, and his eyebrows stretched out again.

Although Li Daliang is an honest person, he must have outstanding points when he can be the Minister of Works. Although he has only seen Li Mu once, he can also see that Li Mu is a smart person. Such a person will definitely not do stupid things. When he saw the circle on Chongrenfang, he knew about it. As the Minister of Works, he knew every corner of Chang'an City. He knew that the circle on Chongrenfang was given to Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian.

Just imagine who could buy the Royal Garden from Li Xiaogong? What kind of identity would this person be able to make a dignified doctor of the Ministry of Works take the risk of being impeached and take such a project?

Just a wealthy man in Longxi? Li Daliang doesn't believe it. Even if it is the Li family in Longxi, Li Xiaogong will not give this face easily. And even if Li Xiaogong gives face, Li Mu will not be so stupid as to make money and gain his own official fortune.

In this way, the matter will be clear. The reason why Li Mu did not give Duke Zhao face and took the risk of becoming a "contractor" must be because he could not refuse. This reason may only come from the palace, either the emperor or the Supreme Emperor! The things Li Mu said cannot be his own attitude, and it must be someone instructed him to do so. The Supreme Emperor does not care about things, and it is unlikely that it is the emperor's intention.

But what was the reason why the emperor did this? Is it a warning to the nobles for their own benefit?

Li Daliang was a little unsure, but he could be clear that he could not easily step into this muddy water. Otherwise, he would have either offended a noble like Changsun Wuji or offended the emperor, and he would not be able to pay any guilt on both sides.

Having a decisive plan in his mind, Li Daliang said slowly: "Yuwengui, what do you mean by talking about these things to me?"

Yu Wengui was a little confused and said, "Sir..."

Li Daliang said sternly: "Li Mu is now a doctor in the Ministry of Works, in charge of affairs of all and large. As a member of the Ministry of Works, you should assist him, rather than complaining to me at the higher level! Let me ask you, one of the three things Li Mu said is a matter of overstepping power? Whether it is evaluating the craftsman level, building the Ministry of Works, or distributing craftsmen, aren't it all his duties within his power?"

"But this contracted worker..."

"Also say!" Li Daliang rebuked: "Although I haven't done this before, there is no rule that I can't do it. Li Mu's doing this is his own idea. If there is a problem, it will be the Ministry of Personnel to hold you accountable. What's your business? You are a little sixth-rank worker, just do your own thing. You shouldn't worry about anything else. If you worry too much, be careful that you are thrown to the border to repair the city like the king and Qian! "

OK! When Yuwengui heard this, he understood everything in his heart. It’s no wonder that Li Mu was so straightforward at such a young age and did not give anyone any face. It turns out that there is power behind him, and he doesn’t dare to provoke him as a minister of the Ministry of Works. He is a member of the Ministry of Works, but he is still worried about what he should do.

At this moment, Yu Wengui didn't say nonsense, so he said goodbye, and took someone to carry the money given by Li Mu to buy it in the West Market.

When Li Daliang saw Yuwen Gui walking far away, he was still thinking. Although he said he was standing on Li Mu's side when dealing with Yuwen Gui, he did not think so completely in his heart. As the actual head of the Ministry of Works, he had to figure out the matter clearly. Now, if he wanted to figure it out, he had to go to the palace to see Li Shimin.

After thinking for a while, Li Daliang took off the official uniform hanging on the wall and put it on, led the thin horse that had passed the stable, said to his wife, and rushed to the palace city.

On the other hand, in the Duke Zhao's mansion, Manager Zhang, who was in charge of the yard, also received the news and was furious.

If you want to talk about this Manager Zhang, it is Li Mu's old acquaintance. The one who met Li Mu in Dingxiang that day, wanted to buy a secret recipe for brewing was this Manager Zhang. A few months ago, Changsun Wuji thought that he had worked for the Duke's Mansion for many years and was older, so he transferred him back to Chang'an for retirement. He happened to encounter the matter of cultivating the yard in the mansion, so he handed it over to him. In order to speed up the construction period, Manager Zhang left the impression of "the sword is not old" in front of Changsun Wuji, and then found the Ministry of Works and happened to meet Wang, Qian, the two officials who wanted to hold their thighs. The two sides hit it off, and this happened today.

Wang Yuan and Qian Zhen, who were commanding the work, heard that they were sent to the border to build a city for no reason and immediately stopped doing it. Wang Yuan shouted: "What is he? We are helping the Duke of Zhao's Mansion. Duke Zhao is the uncle of the country. Even if His Majesty knows, he will not say anything. He pointed at him. No, I want to argue with him!"

Qian Zhen was a little calmer than him and said, "Why do you go and argue? He is the doctor of the Ministry of Works, you and I are the head of the Ministry of Works, and he is the main manager! And if you have to look at it carefully, it is also your fault. Moreover, we didn't go twice, no matter how we say it is, we are lacking in reason. For the sake of the present plan, we still have to ask the uncle to come out, otherwise you and I will have to go home to pack your luggage and prepare to set off!"

When Wang Yuan heard this, he quickly grabbed Manager Zhang's arm and said, "Manager Zhang, now something has happened, you can't ignore it! I'll be entrusted by you, don't help you in vain. I've been working for a month for a while, but don't end up with nothing to make a fortune and even lost my job. You can't do this!"

Manager Zhang looked cold and shook Wang Yuan's hand, saying, "Don't make a fuss. Since you two are working for my Duke Zhao's Mansion, you will naturally not suffer any losses. I'll wait here, I'll go to see my uncle."

After saying that, Manager Zhang hurriedly left. After about a stick of incense, Changsun Wuji and Manager Zhang came out of the study together. Wang Yuan and Qian Zhen watched Changsun Wuji get on the carriage and head towards the imperial city. They quickly met Manager Zhang and said, "Has the uncle entered the palace?"

Manager Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Uncle Guo was furious when he heard about this! That Marquis Zhulu dared to offend the majesty of my uncle. Today he was unlucky!"
