Li Mu mentioned some differences, basically, he gave a sweet date with a stick, which made Ashina Simo feel uncomfortable, and he also had some yearning. After all, it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree. Once the Eastern Turks become part of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks will have a chance to recuperate, and there is no need to worry about when the Tang Dynasty's sword will fall, nor when the northern Xueyantuo will go south, because the Tang Dynasty will take over the defense of the Eastern Turks.

Moreover, it is not that the Eastern Turks completely gave up their armed forces. Asanosmo asked specifically that when requesting permission from the court, the Turkic Autonomous Road could be left with certain armed forces, because there was no slut at all in the local area, and necessary armed forces were still needed, and Li Mu and Li Shimin also supported this.

Then, there is only one question left, agree, or not?

If he doesn't agree, he will turn against him immediately. Can the Turks bear Li Shimin's anger?

Promise, the urgent need in front of him can be solved, and Li Shimin was very happy and would receive a lot of rewards. These are all small things. What is important is that it can be seen that Li Shimin really wanted to do something for the Turkic people, follow the ideas of the monarch and ministers, and they would still do things for the Turkic people in the future. Although in this way, the Turkic people would be more concerned about the goodness of the Tang Dynasty, gradually "losing themselves" and becoming a complete Tang Dynasty man. But in Asunasmo's view, it is not important at all who become. What is important is that these people who were not doing well, were enslaved, and might even freeze to death or starve to death have a way out.

In the whole thing, the only class that was hit was the Turkic nobles. They did not get any benefits, and only had losses. It was not that Asnathmo did not see this, but he did not dare to mention it because this was the punishment for them. How could it be possible to expose such a big thing as the assassination of the emperor? Li Shimin did not take action directly, which was already considered kind.

For the present, he could only make an official position first and slowly cleanse it up. He expressed his thoughts obscurely like Li Shimin. Li Shimin did not respond positively, but asked him to talk to Li Mu. Asuna understood that this was not going to leave a handle, which meant that Li Shimin did not agree with this arrangement. He sighed in his heart, but did not bother him and talked further.

After the banquet, Asuna Smoo held Li Mu who wanted to go back to sleep. He couldn't help it and had to ask clearly.

"Prince," Li Mu sighed, "Let's think about it from the perspective of others. If you are Your Majesty--"

"Honor, be careful!" Asunasmo said quickly, "How can I compare me to Your Majesty? This is not OK, no!"

"Just like this," Li Mu continued: "From ancient times, assassination of the king and the killing of the emperor has been a death sentence. You Turkic nobles can be exempted from crimes? They are nobles in the Turkic reigns, but who is spoiling them in the Tang Dynasty? Let me tell you this, death sentences are inevitable, but considering that it is difficult for you to do, you can get a little more comfortable."

“How to be accommodating?”

"I'll tell you--" Li Mu leaned into Asunasmo's ear and whispered: "Next year, Goguryeo will be unofficial, and your Majesty will likely attack Goguryeo next year. At that time, the Turks will issue an order to send people to the army. All those involved, whether old or young, must not be missing, and all of them must follow the army--"

"This..." Asunasmo thought to himself, wasn't this letting them be cannon fodder? But Li Mu's next sentence gave him hope: "If they can survive or make military achievements, the assassination will be forgotten. If they die, it will be considered a battle death and will pay attention to their family."

Seeing that Asuna Simo was still looking at him but stopped, Li Mu patted his shoulder and said, "It's almost done, it's over. Think about it, even if this is not the case, Your Majesty will follow the army, how can you not go?"

...

Asuna Smo only stayed for three days and then hurriedly turned around. He came here with the determination to die to meet Li Shimin's anger, but things did not go in the direction he thought. Instead, there was a turning point. When things happened, he wanted to hurry back quickly. If he didn't go back early, who would know what else could that group of people do? If he had friction with Li Ji or Li Xiaogong's army during the few days he was away, there would be no room for a turn.

On behalf of Li Shimin, Li Mu sent Asanosmo to the riverside. The river water in the Yangzhou section had not frozen yet and could still sail. After passing the Yangzhou section and heading north, the river water could no longer sail. After saying goodbye to Asanosmo, Li Mu did not rush back. The river water in winter looked very calm, but undercurrents were still surging below the calm. Even if it was frozen, it would be temporary. It would still flow continuously in the spring of the following year.

This shows that change is the only thing that remains unchanged, and what people can do is to adapt to this change, rather than try to stop it.

It has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the fifth year of Zhenguan is about to pass. Li Mu looked at Dugu Jiu next to him and said, "Xiao Jiu, you have to consider marrying a wife."

"No marriage!" Dugu Jiu's response was decisive: "I don't like someone ugly than me. I'm not looking for someone who is more beautiful than me."

"..." Li Mu smiled bitterly. This question is indeed a bit difficult. A man who grows up to Dugu Jiu like this. Unless he disfigured himself, it is really difficult to find a woman who is more beautiful than himself.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Why don't we do the opposite? If you don't look for beautiful people, let's find an ugly person. Uncle Cheng's family has a eldest daughter, who is only 28 years old and has a strong body, and is 80% similar to Uncle Cheng. Uncle Cheng once said that whoever married his daughter would be willing to marry a thousand hectares of land and a hundred livestock. Otherwise... if you consider it, you can be considered a match."

Dugu Jiu glanced at Li Mu, said nothing, and looked at Jiang again. The meaning revealed in his eyes was very clear: "Since it is so good, why don't you marry?"

"Oh--" Li Mu sighed, and the two brothers suddenly lost their words, looking at Jiangshui together and became stunned.

Suddenly, a boat came from the other side of the river. Dugu Jiu's eyes were pointed. When the boat passed the middle of the river, he saw clearly the people on the boat and said to Li Mu: "It's Li Tai."

"Ah?" Li Mu was a little confused. He was in a daze here, not to wait for Li Tai. He was to hide from Li Shimin and didn't want to go back to read the memorial. When the boat got closer, Li Mu also saw it clearly. It was Li Tai. The little white face turned into a little black face. I don't know what he had experienced in the past six months.

Li Mu waved at him, and Li Tai also saw Li Mu, thinking that he was here to pick him up, and jumped on the deck with excitement. Li Mu hurriedly shouted, asking him to calm down. If he fell into the riverside, Li Shimin's fault was his again.

When they arrived at the shore, the two brothers hugged him. Li Mu looked at Li Tai. After not seeing him for half a year, the boy became much stronger and taller, and his eyebrows were more similar to Li Shimin. Li Mu looked at him and asked, "Yuan Tiangang said you were in his hands, have you escaped?"

"Yuan Tiangang?" Li Tai said in a daze: "I have never seen him. I received the order from my father transferred from Huining County and came directly." As he said that, Li Tai took out a brick from his arms like a treasure, scaring Li Mu to take a step back: "What are you doing? Do you still want to murder your master?"

"This is the silver brick I smelted!" Li Tai said proudly: "I found the silver mine! I found this smelting method in the book. It took only ten days to melt such a large silver brick. How about it, isn't it very powerful?"

"It took ten days to use this little thing?" Dugu Jiu curled his lips. He had seen Li Mu smelting silver ingots and poured a cart of silver ore into it. It took less than two or three hours to get such a large piece of silver ingot. This little thing took ten days to do nothing?

Seeing that Dugu Jiu was disdainful of his labor, Li Tai was unhappy and glared at him and said, "What do you know about a layman? I use the soot blowing method recorded in ancient books. It's already been very fast in ten days. Are you so angry? Have you ever seen someone faster than this?"

"When you arrive in Yangzhou, you can see it yourself." Dugu Jiu was too lazy to argue with Li Tai, and said coldly, and turned over to the horse first. Li Tai looked at Li Mu aggrievedly. Li Mu weighed the silver bricks in his hand and said, "It's really a big deal. When I enter the city, I will take you to see the newly built smelting workshop. I also found a silver mine in Japan, mined and transported it to smelting it in Yangzhou."

"Ah?" It was Li Tai's turn now. He thought that finding the silver mine would be enough to be proud. But judging by Li Mu's opinion, the silver mine he found in Japan must be quite large, otherwise he would not have had enough effort to transport ore from Japan to process. Looking at Dugu Jiu's tone, it is certain that the processing speed of the Yangzhou smelting workshop is far beyond his own-

Thinking of this, Li Tai was a little discouraged. Why didn’t he have a chance to be proud in front of his mentor?

Li Mu patted the back of his head and threw the silver brick back to him: "Show it to your father, he will definitely praise you very much. Let's go, get in the car before talking."

Li Mu got into the carriage, and Li Tai followed him. After chatting for a few words, Li Tai was tired and tired, and fell asleep in a daze. Li Mu asked the driver to slow down and also put his eyes on his sleep. He got up too early today and just went to bed and went back to bed.

...

Qin Huaidao looked at the "silver brick wall" in the smelting workshop warehouse and his brain was a little down.

Is this the silver bricks smelted from the ore transported back from Japan? How many do they have to be?

He reached out to pick up a piece, but he couldn't handle it. He picked it up with both hands and saw the prints on it, which was 100 taels.

A piece of silver brick is a hundred taels, and the walls are covered with silver bricks. Qin Huaidao roughly estimated that it would cost at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. It seems not much, but it has only been a few days. It only takes more than a month to complete the calculation, and it will be more and more in the future, and it will continue to flow. This is a net inflow. Every year, this silver mine in Japan can provide the Tang Dynasty with a net inflow of more than 300,000 yuan. Compared with the benefits, the cost is almost negligible.

Moreover, according to the teacher's teachings, money cannot be counted only on the books. After 300,000 taels of silver entered the market, it can be 300,000 guan, 600,000 guan, 900,000 guan, and the value is far more than 300,000!

My mentor is right, money will become less valuable! However, there is one thing that Qin Huaidao can't figure out again.

Money is becoming less valuable, will the people live better? People who used to have no money now have money, but their money cannot buy anything because prices are rising. The money they saved in the past has become less valuable. Isn’t it a blow to them?

But then I thought about it again, how could my mentor not think of the problem that I could think of? He must have had a solution long ago, so he would worry about it.

It seems that I still have a lot to learn.

Qin Huaidao sighed, counted the amount of deposited silver from beginning to end, and recorded it in the account book. The deposited silver will be transferred to the newly built bank deposit in the afternoon as a bank reserve. Stay with Li Mu, of course you can't be idle. Qin Huaidao and Changsun Chong learned a lot of ways to run a bank, and took this opportunity to help Li Mu build the Datang Bank in Yangzhou. During this process, if you encounter any problems, he can also ask Li Mu at any time, which can be said to be a killer.

...

When he returned to Yangzhou, Li Tai naturally wanted to pay homage to Li Shimin, and Li Mu finally had time to rest. He fell on the comfortable recliner and stared quietly.

For Li Mu, being dazed is his rest. Li Zhien came over with tea. Seeing him dazed, he didn't know if he should come over. When Li Mu saw him, he opened his arms, and Li Zhien put the tea on the table and threw it into his arms happily.

"Ouch--" Li Mu caught her, looked injured, patted her on the back, and said, "Are you fatter again?"

"No." Li Zhien snorted, hugged Li Mu tightly, and said, "Husband, I have always seen you frown recently. Are you worried about anything? You don't tell us, Sister Qiaoqiao is worried about you, have you been talking about it several times?"

"Is that right?" Li Mu said: "I didn't see her talking to me either-but, she is worried about me, so don't you worry about me?"

"I'm worried about you too, isn't this asking?" Li Zhien leaned into Li Mu's arms and said, "I can't explain it clearly, I just feel like you are very tired every day. Husband, why don't we be officials? It's the same if we don't have anyone in the world. Let's live our own lives."

"I can't help myself-" Li Mu murmured, as if he was saying to himself, as if he was saying to Li Zhien: "I didn't understand the meaning of these four words before, but now I understand that some things can be done without thinking, especially those who have done halfway, I always want to have a result."

"But it's the first time I've done some things. How do I know that I will definitely succeed, or not? As long as I think that my decision may affect the fate of millions of people, I feel very uneasy. I don't know whether what I did is right or wrong."
