Li Mu had known for a long time that Ma Zhou had a relationship with Changsun Wuji and even Li Shimin, but he didn't care, and he let Ma Zhou do things and contact the core secrets of Luoyang City. He did this, not to be generous or self-protection. He really wanted Ma Zhou to learn new things in Luoyang. If he could bring these new things back to Chang'an, or find a model that could allow all cities in the world to follow suit, it would be a very good thing to change the environment of the entire Tang Dynasty and something he wanted to see.

More than a year after coming to the Tang Dynasty, Li Mu deeply felt one thing, that is, his butterfly flapped his wings, and his power was not as great as imagined. In fact, he could change some things, but the historical pattern would not change because of one more person or one less person. His appearance could only be to postpone or speed up the occurrence of some things.

Perhaps, the sign of a person's maturity is to let him understand the four words of limited ability. Li Mu doesn't want to change the world now. It is already an amazing achievement to be able to make the people around him live a good life.

...

"Honey husband is back?"

When Li Mu returned to the back house, Jin Chen greeted him. When the baby son in his arms saw that it was him, he struggled for a while, then closed his eyes and came to a loss of sight.

Li Mu has been back for several days, and his son has been familiar with him, and the two have a lot of fun. But this kid "forgets friends when he sees sex". As long as his mothers are there, he never gives Li Mu a good face, as if he gives him a good face as a father, and is worried that his mothers will be jealous. But he doesn't know that his father is also very jealous, especially when he sees him having breastfeeding, Li Mu tastes very good.

There is no way to eat it. The whole family is just a treasure, and they are very precious. This kid is also energetic and never sleeps. Ah, he rolls and crawls. You can imagine what kind of situation this kid can look like when he can walk.

At this time, Mrs. Lu brought Wang Ou over, holding her little daughter in her arms. Seeing that her son ignored her, Li Mu turned around and headed for the girl. The son with his eyes closed opened his eyes and saw it. He felt uncomfortable and pulled his throat and cried. Mrs. Lu looked at her baby grandson and cried quickly. He quickly surrounded him. He immediately shut up, his big black eyes widened, and he tilted his mouth with his little mouth, and began to pull Mrs. Lu's clothes.

Mrs. Lu wore a fox fur, which felt furry, which made him feel comfortable to touch. Seeing that her baby grandson smiled, Mrs. Lu was also very happy. She took off the fur and gave it to her grandson as a toy. The little thing got some energy and pulled out all the fur. Li Mu wanted to say a few words, but Mrs. Lu glared at her and said, "What do you care about when the child likes it? A torn dress will be thrown away if it is broken. Is it necessary to feel distressed?"

OK, if you have money, you willful, don’t care.

Li Mu changed the topic and started talking about Li Jibei's topic. Outside the window, it was not a place to chat. Everyone returned to the room and sat around the kang stove. Li Bai lay on the fur and tried hard to pluck his hair. A few women who were wearing only Yanju's clothes, staring at the couch and wide-eyed. Their eyes immediately widened.

They didn't expect that Li Mu would come up with such a shocking idea as soon as he came back.

After the Chinese New Year, he asked to go to Li Ji's army to promote the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo.

Goguryeo, this name is very famous. Since the Sui Dynasty, it has always been a great enemy of the Central Plains. Both the monarchs of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty wanted to subdue Goguryeo, but Goguryeo was very resilient. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty conquered several times, but they were a little bit different.

Li Shimin used the excuse of finding someone to conquer Goguryeo, which was also a plan that Li Shimin had already determined. This year, he had a bumper harvest, so Li Shimin decided to implement it as soon as possible. Li Shimin won the best of Qizhou affairs.

If Jisitang rebelled in Qizhou, then Li Ji's army would give up Goguryeo and switch to quell the rebellion. The army, horse, food and grass needed to quell the rebellion would definitely not be as good as the conquest of Goguryeo, and it would be enough for the court to deal with it. Resolving Jisitang would be considered a matter of a concern, and the so-called "to resolute the internal affairs first" to fight against foreign countries.

If Jisitang does not occur, there will be no internal disasters. If Jisitang does not need to worry, then there will be only external disasters. If Jisitang can still be converted into a helping force, Li Shimin has confidence that he will not completely solve the Goguryeo disaster. Taking advantage of the fact that the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty were all in their battle years, they could at least beat Goguryeo, so that they would never dare to wait for an opportunity to go south again.

It was precisely because Li Mu saw this that he was determined to help Li Shimin fight against Goguryeo in the north. He had several intentions to do so.

First of all, this is a historical trend and something that will inevitably happen. Even if he doesn't help, Li Shimin will definitely do it. It's just a matter of time.

Secondly, Li Shimin is the emperor, and he has made up his mind and no one can change it. If Li Mu pretended to be confused with his understanding, it would definitely arouse Li Shimin's suspicion. Now that this family is so big and there are so many people, Li Mu cannot afford to take risks.

In the end, it was for Mrs. Lu. Although Mrs. Lu was in Luoyang City and could do everything from heaven to earth, even if Li Shimin came in person, he might not be able to capture Mrs. Lu, hiding the storm is not a problem, and Li Mu didn't like this. If Jisitang can be oversold and become an institution accepted and allowed by the court, then it will be a good thing not only for Li Shimin, but also for the people of Jisitang and for Mrs. Lu.

But if you want to achieve this goal, you must make efforts first. Li Mu's preparation is to show his attitude first.

What he thought was not explained, because it was useless to say it, and it was just to worry his family. What Li Mu thought was to support himself in order to make his family live a carefree life.

For Qiaoqiao and others, they wouldn't think so much. They were just worried about how long it would take for Li Mu to leave, and whether it would be like this year, and that most of the year would be gone.

"I can't do my best to do my best. This trip is not easy to get back, so I have to discuss with His Majesty that we will all go."

Li Mu also understood the war between the former Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo. As long as the war starts, there is no precedent for victory in one or two years. Everything goes well, and it will take two years before and after, and it will definitely take a long time.

However, Li Mu really doesn't care much. He went to Miaojiang this year and made him figure out some things.

Why? Because the world is turmoil is the norm. Throughout history, no matter whether it is a prosperous era or not, those dynasties have a feeling of "not being able to be at peace with the three generations". This is the case with the Qin, the Han, the Sui, and the Tang... and then it will fall into a long period of strong branches and weak branches and frequent civil strife.

Most of the lives of the people are miserable, and the officials in the temple are full of factions and are intriguing. No one can be an evergreen tree and always stand proudly in the world. However, there is an exception to one kind of person!

Those remote areas that seem too remote, poor, and have weak influence in the court, such as the southwest and the northwest, can be long-term if they eat tasteless and are discarded.

This kind of person is the Tusi family, who is unmoved and can't stand the country and change. Because the land is too unstable, the officials will no longer flow there. They have been stationed there for generations, and gradually evolved into a family that is more powerful than the aristocratic family.

The Shuidong Song clan was sent to serve as the governor during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang. As a result, a thousand years later, the family still stood firm and changed its country countless times. The Song family was always the local emperor there.

The Tian family in Sizhou was the second year of Kaihuang in Emperor Wen of Sui. The ancestors of the Tian family were stationed in the place to quell the chaos. They were stationed there, so they transformed into the Tusi family that had been passed down for more than a thousand years. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the seven sects and five surnames of the past were destroyed by the turbulent situation for more than a hundred years and were completely destroyed, but the Tian family was still strong.

Before Li Mu traveled through time, he once heard a song called "Madam Shexiang", which also talked about the toast.

Li Mu has been in this era for a long time and is inevitably influenced by the ideas of this era. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don’t worry about them? There is no absolute thing in the world. If you really want to plan, you can ensure that the descendants have no worries for a thousand years. It is enough to protect the descendants for a thousand years of foundation!

Therefore, Li Mu's current appointment arrangement is to seek blessings for his descendants, focus on these frontier areas and spread the seeds. Now he has planted the seeds in southern Xinjiang, and he also has to plant seeds in the northeast. In the future, after the ten thousand stone ship is completed, he will also establish his own base overseas.

This is a grand and long-term goal.

This time his goal was the peninsula in later generations. He wanted to gain a foothold there, first help Li Shimin solve the disaster in Goguryeo, and then use the military of the court to help Li Zhien avenge and take down the peninsula.

"Don't worry! Good luck eats meat, dogs eat shit, really capable people are as rich as food and food there. Those who are not capable will be dealing with living everywhere. Even if they live in Chang'an, what can we do? As long as our family is together, where can we live unhappy?"

Li Mu said, smiling slightly at the girls, his eyes fell on the faces of the two ladies, but found that the expression was the most confusing, but the one who was in a dilemma was Sun.

how?

Li Mu suddenly realized that Sun had married Tang Jian. Now his son was going to go far away and settle down there, but she had another husband. Where should she go? She couldn't bear to leave her son, nor did she want to leave her husband. What's more, her son was not his biological son, but his current husband was his biological husband. If Li Mu took his whole family to the Luoyang, then what would Sun go? He followed his son to the northernmost end of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Jian is now in the southern end of the Tang Dynasty, and this south and north are separated by two places. What's the couple?

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I won't come back this time. When the war is over and the world is calmed down, I will come back. Or maybe this war may not be fought."

Sun sighed and said, "Son, I can't guess what you are thinking now. Logically, I should follow you, but you also know that if the whole family goes to the Northeast, I will not follow you." After that, he sighed again. Obviously, it would be difficult for Sun to make this decision.

"Do we want the whole family to go?"

Qiaoqiao looked annoyed, and her beautiful eyebrows were twisted together: "I haven't lived in a few days since I actually lived there. Also, I plan to move Feng Qiuhuang over and buy all the shops. I can only renovate them in the spring of the next year and open them. This is a waste of money."

"No waste, we keep all the shops and land here! We cannot walk the road at all, and it is safest to leave behind. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat!"

Wang Ou also said: "Luoyang cannot let go. No matter where our family has taken root, the transactions between Chang'an and Luoyang must be well managed. If you live in a completely remote corner, you will decline."

After hearing Li Mu's words, Qiaoqiao's face looked good. No matter how big the family business was, she didn't want to squander it at will. She had just finished trading, and it would be strange if she could sell it immediately. Although the family is not short of money now, Qiaoqiao never spent the wasted money.

Li Mu knew Qiao Qiao's intentions and comforted him: "I just said this, but I haven't even said a word yet. Why can't I live in the built courtyard? We will move over tomorrow and celebrate the New Year there."

Li Mu said, turning around and picking up his son: "Let our baby son see what kind of place his father lived in when he was a child, so don't wear clothes and reach out to eat and open his mouth."

"My grandson just wants clothes and food to open his mouth." Mrs. Lu snatched her grandson away and called Sun Shi, Jin Chen, as well as his favorite Li Zhien and his mother, to find a place to chat together.

As soon as the four people left, the atmosphere in the flower hall was a bit strange.

It's late!

There were no TVs in this era, and mobile phones could kill time.

We've been sitting here for a long time. Are you always bored in chatting?
