Chapter 880 The Heir
"What does the old guy mean?"
Wang Pu automatically filtered it as if he hadn't heard Li Mu's disrespect for Wang Gui, and said, "Of course I want to make a good deal with the Marquis. I'm just a person who is talking, but the same thing is the same thing."
"Oh--" Li Mu sighed long and said, "When you came, did you see the people at the door?"
Wang Pu replied truthfully: "I haven't seen it."
"All of them are from the clans," Li Mu said: "These people now want to come and have a good relationship with me. What do you think should I do?"
After the training over the past year, Wang Pu is no longer the same as Wang Pu in the past. His vision and knowledge are different. When Li Mu said this, he could understand. In this world, the family, nobles, poor families, and gentry each form a faction. With the power of the aristocratic family, Li Mu is now in a state of affairs. How can the aristocratic family unite under his sect, he will become an existence that is more fearful to the court than Jisitang.
This is definitely not a good thing.
"What does the Marquis mean?"
"There are too many selfish people in the world today. But I, Li Mu, have never been alone in Chang'an and made money. I have never taken over the interests of doing things. Am I stupid?" Li Mu smiled and said, "No, I am not here."
"Money is within your fingers. What is the use of it? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If the descendants do not become good, how much wealth they have left may not be enough for him to suffer in his lifetime. Fame and title? This marquis will only take the imperial examination once and get two top scholars. What does it mean? What does it mean? The title is even more so. Although this marquis is just a marquis, which duke and king dare to make a rash in front of me?"
Wang Puxin said that this is not a boast, it is indeed the case.
Wang Pu was puzzled and asked, "What does the marquis care about?"
"What I care about is that I can do something." Li Mu sighed and said, "Think about it, kings, princes, generals and ministers are like passing clouds and mists, and can show off for a lifetime, but after they die, aren't they still a loess bun? What can really be remembered by future generations is not your great achievements, but what you do, things that are closely related to their lives, and things that affect their lives."
Li Mu gave an example: "For example, if I do newspapers, no one has done them before, and I have created my own hands. What is its function? It can open up people's wisdom, the people can understand newspapers, and they can read less and have literate. Isn't this progress? I can spread the news, what happened in the court in the past is like it has nothing to do with the people, and the people have no power to know. I run the newspaper and give them the power to know. Isn't that great?"
Wang Pu suddenly realized that he realized that the newspaper was the function of this.
"For example, I reform the land." Li Mu smiled and said, "I did this and touched the interests of many people. Including your brothers, they all hated me to the core because their interests were lost. But I want to say, these people are short-sighted!" Li Mu said without hesitation, "It is outrageous that people regard food as the sky, why does food as the sky? Because it is indispensable, if this part is necessary, the people will starve, die of hunger, and will turmoil, and rebel - if the world is in chaos, who can be guaranteed? Everyone has the heart to be unwilling to be inferior to others, and it will not last long by enslavement. The accumulation of wealth depends on business rather than farming. You distribute the land to the people, and the people will have enough food and clothing to prosper. The thing I look down on the most in my life is the so-called wealthy family who compete with the people for food, which is ridiculous!"
Wang Pu nodded and said, "The Marquis's layout is still big. These aristocratic families have too short-sighted eyes."
"Building roads and ships are all things that benefit the present and the future. How can future generations not think of me if they are convenient?" Li Mu said that he revealed his ambition for the first time, and said, "I want this world to change everywhere because of me. I want this world to be my mark everywhere. In this way, I, Li Mu, will not be in vain to come to this world for a walk."
"So, it's not my wish to form a clique, and I don't need to be private. Many people think that I may rebel. They are too worried. I don't have the idleness. I have what I want to do. How could I yearn for His Majesty to draw a prison?" Wang Pu couldn't wait to cover his ears. He didn't know why Li Mu told him this. This is a ruthless word. If His Majesty knows, he will definitely be furious.
"I'm talking a little too much today." Li Mu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Let me talk about it for now, and listen to it for now. What do I mean? Let that old boy Wang Gui guess it yourself.
"Yes, I will report to my brother truthfully."
Li Mu patted Wang Pu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you go back. We have met before the New Year. If you travel together in a starry night, you should be able to return to Taiyuan. Your Majesty will just give a memorial before the New Year. You will talk about everything after the New Year."
Wang Pu responded and stood up and left. Li Mu sent it to the back door. He watched Wang Pu get on the carriage before turning back into the yard.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lu had sent people from various families. Li Mu didn't ask her how she talked about, and Mrs. Lu didn't seem to have planned to tell him what she meant. Li Mu was so confused that he pretended not to know.
...
Mrs. Lu didn't tell Li Mu that Jisitang is now choosing the next master. The reason is that Mrs. Lu has clearly announced that she is about to step down as Jisitang's master and is willing to abdicate and give way to the wise.
It is impossible for Jisitang to have such a large organization without a unified management and dispatch. Although power is concentrated in the hands of the hall master, it is impossible for him to have no restrictions on the hall master. When Mrs. Lu chose to establish Jisitang, it was considered to be the right time, place and people. But the most important thing that Jisitang could really fall into her hands was because she was a woman and a woman without descendants. But in order to limit her, Jisitang also stipulated that Jisitang would not be able to come from a family for two consecutive days.
Now that Mrs. Lu has found her son, Li Mu does not want to rebel, and she is not in the mood to continue to manage the huge Jisitang. So she promised each family to recommend candidates and select a new Jisitang as soon as possible to hand over Jisitang's affairs. Jisitang is related to the interests of each family and must be a capable person. Therefore, the major families have not had any selfishness at this point. There is no need. It is impossible for anyone to hide selfishness in the candidate of this sect leader. How many eyes are staring at it? It is better to really choose a talent who can shoulder this responsibility.
This is a recognized fact when there are no talented people who are the best in Li Mu today. Just like when the bearded guest was rampant in the world, others called the hero and the giant hero, which is indisputable. But is there no talent except Li Mu? Of course not, otherwise without Li Mu, the time traveler, would the prosperous Tang Dynasty no longer be? Obviously impossible.
When Li Shimin held a scientific examination, he saw the world's disciples lined up from Duanmen, he said happily, "All the heroes of the world have entered my destiny!" This is not entirely true. There are pearls in the vast ocean. If there are suitable people in the officialdom, the major families would not mind stolen it. After all, they are closely connected with the officialdom, and this person is not used to rebel. I believe no one has rejected the temptation of the entire clan as a backing.
But if this person is in the wild and has great talents, all major families are willing to recruit him. As long as he really has the corresponding talents and has the support of the entire clan, he will be able to fly in the sky immediately!
Nowadays, candidates from various families have appeared one after another, and Wang Pu of the Wang family in Taiyuan is listed. In addition, there are Zheng Fan of Zheng in Xingyang, Cui Yusheng, Cui Yufei, the second son of Cui in Qinghe, and Li Yin in Zhaojun. It is said that it is a network all over the world. In fact, the scope of the network is still concentrated in various families, and they are all the best among young talents.
These characters are treasures of each family. The so-called sword hides its edge and will not show up easily before it is born. At this time, there is a vacant position as the master of the hall, so naturally it will not hide it anymore. They all sharpen their swords and are determined to achieve it.
How could they know that under the control of Mrs. Lu, no matter who was replaced by anyone, it would be impossible for anyone to truly replace her. Mrs. Lu managed her career for the rest of her life, so there was no reason why she gave up so easily. The reason why she didn't mention it to Li Mu was because she understood the principle that the big tree attracted the wind. The wood was so beautiful that the forest wind would destroy it. Li Mu had already aroused Li Shimin's alertness. If Ji Si Tang was given to him again, it would not help him, but harm him.
Therefore, Mrs. Lu agreed to select the next hall master, but in fact, she was just a puppet and scapegoat for Li Mu. As long as she was still in one day, she would definitely be used by Li Mu.
...
Every day, dinner must be eaten by the whole family. But what they eat is their own. Some, such as Qiaoqiao and Wang Ou, have to take supplements to replenish their vitality after giving birth. Some, such as Jin Chen, in order to maintain her figure, deliberately lose weight, dinner is usually just a little soup. For example, Li Zhien, when she is growing up, she eats as much as she can. Strangely, no matter how much she eats, she has to bring some candied fruits after eating, and she doesn’t know where she eats.
Li Mu took the attitude towards this, whoever likes to eat what he wants to eat. If a family is together, there are so many rules and regulations. It is best to be at ease.
Jin Chen was drinking the tremella soup with red dates in the spring water. Wang Ou swallowed a bowl of chicken soup like he was swallowing medicine, and said softly: "I'm doing nothing at home all day, and I've made up for it every day. How many pounds have I gained weight? I'm heavier now than before the silent child. I heard that Tianai has to run every morning, so why should I run with you tomorrow to lose weight and make it easier to spend time."
Zhang Tianai shook his head and said, "I developed the habit since I was a child. How long did you have just given birth to a child? You can't take this risk. If you sit down, it's a matter of life."
After Wang Ou came back this time, her relationship with Zhang Tianai eased a lot. She also missed each other, which made Li Mu quite relieved.
At this time, Qiaoqiao said something and said, "Sister Tianai, when will you get pregnant with a baby?"
Zhang Tianai was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said angrily: "How can I know that I am not interested in this kind of thing."
Li Mu, who was working hard with Li Zhien, heard this and looked up at Zhang Tianai, and said in a vague way: "Why are you still not interested in it?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tianai covered his mouth and glared hard, saying, "Even if you eat, you can't block your mouth!"
Sun came in with his grandson in his arms. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "Child, don't move around. The doctor said, your pulse looks like a happy pulse. What if you have it, you're not careful?"
Everyone was shocked. Qiaoqiao held Zhang Tianai's hand and said in surprise, "Is there it? Is it true?"
Zhang Tianai nodded embarrassedly, then shook her head again, and said, "I can't say it's so fast. I just invited the doctor to see it yesterday, but I'm not sure now. It's not too late to congratulate you when you're really sure."
Li Mu took the attitude towards this, whoever likes to eat what he wants to eat. If a family is together, there are so many rules and regulations. It is best to be at ease.
Jin Chen was drinking the tremella soup with red dates in the spring water. Wang Ou swallowed a bowl of chicken soup like he was swallowing medicine, and said softly: "I'm doing nothing at home all day, and I've made up for it every day. How many pounds have I gained weight?

Every day, we must eat dinner together. But what we eat is like. Some, like Qiaoqiao and Wang Ou, need to take supplements to replenish vitality after giving birth. Some, like Jin Chen, have deliberately tried to maintain a figure. When the family is together, there are not so many rules and regulations, and it is best to be at ease.
