Ergou is now proud. He has been snatching the thick leg of Zhulu Marquis' Mansion, not only making money, but also having a different status.

Once upon a time, he was a fangren in the West City. Whenever he saw him, he called Ergou. Who would be born as a human being? Ergou was not willing either. He had his own name, Zhao Shuangxi. But there was no way, he had to listen to whatever he called. Over time, he would forget his real name. Whoever called the word "dog" turned back conditionally.

It’s different now. With the backer of Zhulu Hou Mansion, who dares to bark with Ergou, whether it’s a peer or a vendor in the West Market, who dares not call him Master Dog when he meets him? Although he is still a dog, if he adds a ‘Master’, it’s different. What’s this called? Identity!

Identity is very important! At least that's what Ergou thinks.

Ergou also did his work hard. In less than three days, Ergou took the average market price and didn't spend a penny. He bought twelve trucks of food, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

The grain and rice in Chang'an City are controlled by a few large grain merchants. In Chang'an City, there are rules for the supply of grain and rice. Princes and nobles do not need to come to the market to buy grain. They say hello and someone will deliver it to the mansion on time. The farmers in the suburbs will not come to Chang'an City to buy grain. Only the people living in various yards in Chang'an City will go to the West Market to buy rice. Ordinary families can buy rice for several days by buying a few buckets of rice at a time, and they will have to worry about insects and rats bite them if they buy too much. Therefore, there is usually no large-scale purchase business for rice shops in Chang'an West Market.

If so, this business cannot be done casually. Who knows who to buy this grain for? Just like in the years before the destruction of the Turks, the grain of the Tang Dynasty was not allowed to be sold to the Turks. Once discovered, they were immediately arrested and beheaded. But even so, they could not stop smuggling. There were still many people selling grain in border cities. People died for money and birds died for food, both ancient and modern times.

But in Chang'an, no one dared to do such things. Therefore, Ergou bought enough twelve trucks of food within three days, which is still a very powerful thing. In addition to the agency fee, Li Mu also rewarded him with two stale money, allowing him to help him arrange things when needed.

Ergou was naturally overjoyed, and from then on, he became a servant in Zhulu Hou Mansion. The job of the Yaren in Xishi became his part-time job.

After seeing off Zhang Tianai who was still angry on the Ba Bridge, Li Mu sighed and drove his horse back to the city. He repeatedly tried to keep it, but Zhang Tianai insisted on leaving. The food was collected last night, and early this morning, they set off.

Li Mu was somewhat inexplicable. He felt that he had not offended Zhang Tianai, and he tried hard to explain the misunderstanding. Even Bai Qiaoqiao said that he had not misunderstood, but his attitude was still very cold. Before leaving in the morning, he just said goodbye to Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien. Li Mu kept sending her out of the city for ten miles, but she didn't even say a word, which made Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable.

But he was not a tangled person. When he returned to the city, he threw this little sadness behind him.

He was rushing to the Ministry of Works because today is the day when the Ministry of Works moves. Although Li Mu has not been to the Ministry of Works these days, the progress has not been delayed at all. Yu Wengui, who is in the promotion and inspection period, wanted to endure himself to death. It is said that he did not even go back home and stay in the Ministry of Works, just to complete Li Mu's arrangements as soon as possible.

Hard work pays off. Yuwengui made the construction period of Li Mu two days ahead of the project. Yesterday evening, he came to the mansion to report the completion of the project, and Li Mu decided to move today. He also took the money and asked Yuwengui to buy a banquet and host a banquet for the Ministry of Works. He also asked Li Zhien to publish a small gossip in the Tang Dynasty Daily to inform the people of Chang'an that the Ministry of Works will move tomorrow.

Li Mu was very relieved when Yuwengui was doing business. Although this old boy did not accept him at first, he is now the person who only followed Li Muma. The entire Ministry of Works also regarded Yuwengui as Li Mu's confidant. Even Lu Wenfeng and others, who were on par with him, had already regarded themselves as their official position when they saw him.

But Yuwengui was not confused. He knew what Li Mu didn't like, so whenever someone praised him, he would put down his face and count the credit on Li Mu.

The gate of the Ministry of Workshop is very high and you can see it from a distance. Li Mu was very happy to see the gate of the Ministry of Workshop that had been completed, and he was quite imposing. He was also very sad when he thought about what happened in the Ministry of Workshop. Cui Yuyan was exiled for two thousand miles and didn't know what was going on now, but I think that with the power of the Boling Cui clan, he should have rescued him long ago, and I don't know if he will meet again in the future.

As he got closer, Li Mu saw someone busy at the gate. Someone saw Li Mu's shadow and ran away. Just when Li Mu was confused, a group of people rushed out of the room nearest to the gate, all of which were in gorgeous clothes, but Li Mu looked around and found that there were not many people who knew him. He only recognized Yuwengui at the front row, and behind him saw Cheng Qian from the horse farm and Huang Qi from the winery, and he didn't know the rest.

When he arrived near the gate of the yard, Li Mu dismounted, Yu Wengui quickly came up and whispered to Li Mu a few words. Only then did Li Mu realize that these people were all from major families. Although they were just agents like Ru Cheng Qian, it was not expected that Li Mu would have gathered together so many people.

Especially when the Boling Cui family came, Li Mu was somewhat surprised. He thought he had offended the Boling Cui family miserably, but now it seems that in the face of interests, the little things that had happened before did not affect the overall situation.

Among these people, Cheng Qian is familiar with Li Mu. Moreover, he is from the Cheng family and has a special status. Cheng Yaojin is a relatively other person in the court today. His wife is from the Cui family in Qinghe. He is considered half a member of the family. He is also a newcomer and has the merit of following the dragon. In addition, he is a few generals in the court today, and the military has a deep force. It is hard to say which faction he has to be classified as.

But what is certain is that no one dared to offend him on his own initiative. As the representative of the Cheng family, Cheng Qian is relatively special. These people seemed to have discussed it, and recommended Cheng Qian as the representative, and went out to Li Mu.

Cheng Qian held a big red post in his hand, bowed and said, "Mr. Marquis, Chang'an merchants were overjoyed when they heard that the Ministry of Industry has moved today. They came to congratulate him spontaneously. This is a gift list, so I would like to accept it with a smile."

Li Mu looked at Yuwengui, and Yuwengui nodded. Li Mu knew that the gift list was not light. He glanced at it, but did not answer it, but said, "What do you have to do with you and other merchants today? Besides, today's affairs are the affairs of the Ministry of Works. What does it mean to give me a gift? Do you want to bribe this marquis and report it to me next day?"

"The Marquis misunderstood!" Cheng Qian quickly smiled and explained, "Mr. Marquis, although Marquis has not been in office for a long time, he has done so much for our Tang Dynasty. If you don't say anything, just Zhenguan plow alone, you won't know how many lives it will save. It's even more rare that Marquis is not greedy for property. The Ministry of Works is now repaired so well and the Ministry of Works is so grand. Who doesn't know that this is all the personal investment of the Marquis. For the Marquis, we will raise these few money, and it's just to express our admiration for the Marquis." As he said, Cheng Qian smiled a little embarrassedly and said flatteringly: "Of course, we can't say that there is no selfishness. Everyone knows that Marquis makes money well, there is a winery in front and a horse farm behind, and they all make money every day. They also want to establish a good relationship with the Marquis. If the Marquis can ask a few words in the future, and the Marquis eats meat, everyone also wants to drink a sip of soup."

"If you say this, I am a little soft-hearted." Li Mu took the gift list over and opened it and glanced. The first one was the Boling Cui family, which was 1,000 taels of silver. The gift list was arranged from top to bottom according to the amount of gifts given. The Boling Cui family took a thousand guan of money, which could be seen that they had invested a lot.

Li Mu did not look closely and handed the gift list to Yuwengui, saying to the agents: "I am committed to the reform of the Ministry of Works. What is the reform? Simply put, it is to streamline expenses, appoint talents, and improve efficiency. I have guaranteed Your Majesty that the government fund used by the Ministry of Works next year will only be half of this year. We will strive to achieve self-sufficiency within three years. How can this money come? Naturally, we need to make money! How to make money!" Li Mu glanced at the people present and said: "Of course we make money from you!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this. They thought to themselves, Marquis, you are too explicit. Even if you have the idea of ​​us, do you need to be so straightforward?

Li Mu took everyone's expressions and said, "Of course, I am not a bandit, and I will not rob you. We can win the win. Now the Japanese Marquis sees your wishes. If you have a good opportunity in the future, you will do it and will not let you suffer any losses. The past has been revealed since then. The slightest filth that happened between this Marquis and the Cui family of Boling and the Wang family of Taiyuan will not mention it again. Today, all the guests on this Marquis are here. Don't leave in a hurry. After the ceremony, there will be a banquet. This Marquis has prepared thirty jars of new wine. Please taste it together."

When everyone heard Li Mu pulled the words back, they were naturally very happy. Especially the representative of the Cui family of Boling, who was ready to be humiliated today, but they did not expect that Li Mu was so generous and kept them for dinner without grudges. He was so happy that he was so happy that he was so happy that he was so arrogant.

Li Mu called Yuwengui and asked him to fill two more banquets to arrange these people. Then he brought Li Chongyi to the new official office of the Ministry of Works.

In fact, it was said that it was a housewarming today, but in fact, it had basically been moved from yesterday evening to this morning. Li Daliang was worried about moving later, but he couldn't help but hired a car to move over early in the morning.

Leaving the wife to be placed at home, Li Daliang has been waiting for Li Mu at the door of the official office for a long time.
