"Mingzhou is located on the coast of the East China Sea, and historical records show that it was used as a shipping port as early as the Xia Shaokang period. It belongs to the ancient Yangzhou City and has a history of more than a thousand years. The geographical environment here is also very suitable for a harbor. It has a flat terrain, abundant rainfall, and distinct four seasons. Don't underestimate this distance." Li Mu gestured at the inlet and said, "Just such a distance determines that Mingzhou is a non-freeze port, while Yangzhou Port is not."

Wang Rui couldn't help asking: "Marty, the fact that the port is not frozen is indeed as you said, but it is also harmless. Even if Yangzhou Port is frozen, it doesn't have much time to freeze..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Mu. Li Mu glanced at him sideways and said, "Isn't this the one who wants to kill me?"

As soon as this said, not only did Wang Rui's face turn pale, but everyone present changed their faces. Everyone looked at Gu Sizhi. You must know that when Wang Rui said these words, it was in Gu Sizhi's garden. Logically speaking, if there was no problem with Gu Sizhi, Li Mu shouldn't have known these words. Now that Li Mu said it, wouldn't it mean that Gu Sizhi had long surrendered to Li Mu. Was that party a trap?

Gu Sizhi was really troubled when facing such questioning. He wanted to say loudly that he was really wronged. He didn't collude with Li Mu. He had never met Li Mu before meeting everyone today, and he had never met Li Mu, and he had no connection with Li Mu's people at all.

But now, the facts are in front of him, and he can't explain clearly if he doesn't want to connect. No one will believe it, and he can't explain it in front of Li Mu. If he explains it, wouldn't it mean that the Gu family and the Marquis are not on the same mind, why are they trying to make up for it?

The most important thing is, how did Li Mu know? Just as everyone suspected him, he also suspected that everyone who accepted his invitation to the meeting was suspected. It was possible that he betrayed him, ruined the Gu family, and fulfilled their own people.

So, facing everyone's questioning gaze, Gu Sizhi opened his mouth and quickly reacted. He glanced at everyone, sighed, and staggered his eyes. His sigh meant that the Gu family was open-minded. But he could no longer care about how everyone understood it.

On the other side, Wang Rui was also panicked. He wanted to slap himself a few times now. How anxious was he to open his mouth to say such words? If he didn't make a sound, wouldn't it be fine? He didn't know that there was no one who was targeted by Li Mu. Sooner or later, Li Mu would come to him.

But for Wang Rui, being approached by Li Mu is better than being targeted by him like this now. He is obviously a teenager, but for some reason, he can bring such great pressure to people, making people breathless.

As the eldest son of the Wang family of Langya, Wang Rui was a little arrogant, but he knew what to do and how to react when things were about to come. The explanation was equivalent to quibbling. He was not capable of turning against each other. For the sake of the present, he could only beg for mercy. He knelt in front of Li Mu and said, "Mr. Marquis forgive me. The villain was drunk yesterday. The pressure was too great that he could talk nonsense. He talked nonsense. He never dared to think in his heart, let alone take action."

"The marquis' ability to compare with the villain is like the scorching sun to the fireflies, which is incomparable. After the villain woke up, he blamed himself very much and rushed to the dock to apologize," Wang Rui paused for a moment, and said again: "The food box given to the marquis is also double, so I will express my apology."

Before Li Mu got angry, Wang Rui quickly added another sentence and said, "Marty, the villain did not want to escape from anything from beginning to end. The villain offended the Marquis and let the Marquis deal with it, hoping that it would not implicate his family."

At this point, Li Muruo was aggressive and seemed a little too much. Li Mu really didn't want to deal with him. He curled a little curve in the corner of his mouth and helped him up, saying, "Why do you have to do this? I am just a joke. No one knows that I have always loved the people as much as my son--"

Wang Rui also took the initiative to be shameless, fell to Li Mu, and whispered loudly: "The villain wants to recognize the Marquis as his adoptive father..."

"Get up quickly!" Li Mu was shocked and too lazy to act. Why did he become an adoptive father? He was twice as old as me and would have to turn a corner. How could such a big son be born?

Seeing that Li Mu was annoyed, Wang Rui quickly packed up the farce and secretly praised him in his heart. This move was successful by retreating and advancing. He also expected that Li Mu would not recognize him as his godson, and he lowered his posture, which was enough to apologize.

Li Mu glared at him and continued, "As for why we need to establish a port in Mingzhou, there is another intention. In the future, the proportion of sea transportation trade in the Tang Dynasty will surely become increasingly grand. Protecting caravans and maintaining order will become an issue that cannot be avoided. I have asked His Majesty the Ministry of War to consider establishing the Tang Navy. Mingzhou will be the home port of the Tang Navy. Relying on the flat terrain, it can build military camps and shipyards. In the future, this place is not only a seaport, but also a military port of the Tang Dynasty."

After pausing for a moment, Li Mu's expression seemed to be hesitating. After struggling, he still said: "There is another intention. I am considering whether to speak out. Your mouth is not that strict."

The meaning of the words is meaningful. It is difficult for everyone not to think about what just happened, especially Gu Sizhi. He has already confirmed that there must be traitors among the people who attended the rally yesterday.

"Forget it, let's say it!" Li Mu sighed and said, "If you don't say it, you must have doubts in your heart, but if you say it, ugly words are ahead. If the news is leaked, no one of you can escape. This marquis must settle the score."

Everyone thought to themselves, "Is it too late for me to listen?" But whoever dares to say this has to bite the bullet and promise that I will never reveal a word.

Li Mu reached out and clicked on the picture. The location was very blurry, but on the Japanese territory: "There is a large silver mine here, how many are there? Let's put it this way, I started digging from now on, and it wasn't possible that my grandson was 60 years old, and I might not be able to dig it completely."

"This..." Everyone took a breath of air conditioning. How could this be possible?

"I don't believe it, right?" Li Mu chuckled and said, "I know you don't believe it, but that's the case. The port is built here because there is a route that can avoid the current and go directly to Japan. The silver mine in Japan must belong to the Tang Dynasty. Do you understand?"

I understand, of course I understand!
