Li Mu grinned and pried open Cheng Yaojin's fingers and said, "Uncle Cheng, the member is mine. I will sell it to whoever I want to sell it to... You are too concerned, right?"

"What's this?" Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "You have lost your father since you were a child, and your adoptive father will be like your father. I am like brothers and sisters. He is not in Chang'an now, so I am like your father. When I see you doing stupid things, can I ignore it?"

Li Mu was a little confused. Are you in your relationship with my adopted father... OK?

"Oh, my Uncle Cheng, I have my own opinions. Don't worry. It's getting late and the gate is about to close. You'd better go home early to rest..."

"I'm not in a hurry!" Cheng Yaojin pushed Li Mu's hand away, revealing the temperament of an old hooligan, and said, "I am ordered by the emperor to take charge of Chang'an City's defense. Who dares to take care of me at night patrol? I must tell you carefully today. If I don't explain it clearly, I won't leave!"

"this……"

When he met such an old bastard, he was helpless. Li Mu gestured to Dugu Jiu and said, "Okay... Uncle, I haven't eaten yet, let's have some drinks."

"This is almost the same!" Cheng Yaojin snorted, Li Mu took him to the guest room, Dugu Jiu brought wine and food in, and then retreated.

Li Mu filled Cheng Yaojin's glasses, toasted a glass of wine, then broke off a chicken leg, and took a bite. It's better to eat in front of Cheng Yaojin. There is no need to make a tune. He is a rough man and doesn't care about these red tape.

Cheng Yaojin broke off another chicken leg and took a bite. After taking a sip of wine, Cheng Yaojin said, "Boy, what do you think? You have done everything to kill chickens and get eggs. Do you want to be involved with my Cheng family?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Uncle is looking for trouble. If I don't want to be involved with the Cheng family, I will give you an idea? Can we still sit here and drink and eat meat? I will definitely regard Uncle Cheng as our elders."

"Then why did you replace the shares?"

"Oh..." Li Mu knew that he couldn't get around it, so he picked up the wine cup and took a sip, sighed, and said, "Uncle, I really have my own difficulties!"

"Doubt?" Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "You kid, you are young, but you are already in a high position. I have been in the third rank for life. You are only seventeen, and you are already in the third rank. You are in charge of a yamen alone, and you are extremely favored. Who dares to provoke you, what else can you have?"

"Ha..." Li Mu smiled bitterly again and said, "Uncle only saw the glamorous side of his nephew, but he did not see the troubles behind it. You are right, Your Majesty is very kind to me. But do you know why Your Majesty attaches so much importance to me? Why does he hold the Office of Internal Affairs?"

Cheng Yaojin spit out the chicken bones and said in ambiguously: "I heard that it was His Majesty who asked you to make money in order to build a cavalry? That's the case?"

"Yes!" Li Mu sighed: "Your Majesty wants to build a cavalry of ten thousand people. For this cavalry of ten thousand people, you must prepare at least one million guan. This is just the money for the purchase of military horses, armor, weapons, training and raising soldiers, and not counting them. If calculated, at least 500,000 guan will be required!"

"One.5 million guan! Now that the treasury is empty, how can I squeeze it out? Your Majesty asked me to run the Ministry of Internal Affairs, do business, and fill this hole." Li Mu raised his hand, pointed to his head, and said, "Uncle, I am under a lot of pressure. One.5 million guan is a decimal? You also know that I have a brain disease. Things are piled up these days, and my head is almost blowing up."

"Nee..." Cheng Yaojin gasped. He also felt a headache after hearing what Li Mu said. One million and a half cents were really too much. The Cheng family had a great career. Before there was no horse farm, the entire year was only a hundred thousand cents of investment. He thought about this one million and a half cents.

"But it has nothing to do with your replacement of the industry?"

"Why is it okay?" Li Mu snorted angrily: "I don't know what Tai Sui I committed! I got into a group of dog censors! There was a Wei Zheng who used to make a move because of the road construction, and now I dare not cause trouble for me easily. After a few days of silence, another Wang Jingze came out. This bastard is even more hateful than Wei Zheng, and I can't help it. Your Majesty protects him again, and he can't do anything about it... When he talked about the office of the Internal Affairs Office last time, he stumbling for me. I originally thought about taking advantage of the business for Your Majesty and earning some money, but he asked him to say everything first, choking me so hard. Now I'm working for nothing, how can I not be angry?"

"I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and must deal with each family. Wang Jingze stared at me again. If I hold a horse farm member again, unless the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not do business with the Cheng family, Wang Jingze will definitely cause trouble for me. For example, if I handed the order to the Cheng family's workshop, he would say that because I have shares in the horse farm and have financial transactions with the Cheng family, I gave the order to the Cheng family. I can't defend myself at that time. How can I bear such a stigma?"

Li Mu took another sip of wine and said, "I was so anxious now that I really didn't want to cause any more trouble. So I replaced all the members, and I replaced them all together with Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining Industry. From now on, as long as I do business, I will come through the Interior Office. I have nothing to do with anyone, I can't find any problems, right? As for myself, I have a winery and a phoenix and phoenix, I can't be hungry. I will buy some land and save some for my descendants in the spring next year."

Li Mu's words make sense, but Cheng Yaojin still feels that there is something tricky here. There is no reason, it comes from the intuition of an old fox.

But he didn't ask again. He knew that he had something to ask. Li Mu had something to do to make him fool. His eyes turned around and changed the subject and asked, "Then you can't open a brothel, you are a third-rank military marquis, are you shameless?"

"I understand...but uncle, this is not my shameless thing, I am accompanied by someone."

"ah?"

"The Prince of Hejian."

Cheng Yaojin said in surprise: "How is it possible, Prince Hejian..." Halfway through, Cheng Yaojin suddenly turned back. He remembered the rumors about Li Xiaogong. What could not happen if it was on other princes. It was really hard to guarantee that it would be possible for him to put it on this prince.

"This is serious?"

"Will there be any fake?" Li Mu gave Cheng Yaojin another cup and said, "My uncle must have heard about my relationship with Yin Hongzhi a few days ago. There is a secret to tell you that I smashed Yin Hongzhi's Chunfeng Tower that day and blocked the Prince of Hejian inside."

"Ah?" Cheng Yaojin's hands shivered, and half of a glass of wine spilled out.

Li Mu laughed and said, "I'll tell you about this matter, so don't spread it. But later, the Prince of Hejian took a fancy to my brother, the big man. He accepted him as his adopted son, and this matter was over. We didn't know each other. Later, we drank together, and the Prince of Hejian mentioned his love and just mentioned the matter of opening a brothel."

"I replaced these industries and helped him. To the outside world, it was our partnership business, but it was actually his. When the brothel makes money, he will give me the money."

"So that's the case." It's about Li Xiaogong. Cheng Yaojin doesn't doubt that he is, mainly because he doesn't believe that Li Mu dares to joke with Li Xiaogong.

After understanding the whole story, Cheng Yaojin also felt confident.

"Boy, no matter what reason you have, you should tell me that if you replace the horse farm. Who do you think I, Cheng Yaojin? Anyone is qualified to do business with me? Fortunately, Cheng Qian is well-informed and has changed to the horse farm before others take action. Otherwise, if another person is changed, wouldn't my horse farm be involved with others?"

Li Mu said in surprise: "The Cheng family is indeed a big family. Is there a brothel in my uncle's business?"

"Fuck!" Cheng Yaojin cursed: "How could I run a brothel? It was run by your aunt's parents' home, a cousin of Cui's clerk in Qinghe. I spent money to buy his money, but he was not happy. I was so angry that I beat him up. He was so happy again. I'm so backbone... Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. I asked you, you have replaced the membership, and you still care about the matters of the horse farm and the polo game in the future?"

"Of course I have to manage it. Isn't there 30% of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' racecourse and polo games? I am the Minister of the Office of Internal Affairs and I have no choice but to manage it."

"That's not what it means!" Cheng Yaojin stared at Li Mu and asked, "How to manage it, do your best to do it, and do your best to do it perfunctorily. In the future, if your part is gone, can you still do your best?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "I call you uncle, and I should do my best. Is this a matter of saying?"

"I will feel at ease with you!" Cheng Yaojin did not drag on the slut, but got up and said, "It's getting late, and I won't stay for a long time. Yesterday, the tenant told me that a cow died of dying from childbirth, so I had to eat it. I will send you a charlatan tomorrow, so don't think it's too small!"

Li Mu held back his laughter and bowed, "Thank you uncle."

When he sent Cheng Yaojin out, Li Zhien came out of nowhere and said, "Master, why are the tenants of the Cheng family so careless? His cows die every month."

Li Mu knocked on the back of her head and said, "If his cows don't die, where did you get the jerky beef?"

"Um..." Li Zhien nodded, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and said, "That's right."

The two returned to the room, Li Mu had dinner, and asked Dugu Jiu for instructions. Dugu Jiu put on his night clothes, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the night.

At this time, a carriage was about to come out of the palace before the palace gate was closed.

After Li Mu left, Changsun Wuji sent Ju Zhisheng away and then drove straight into the palace. He also had the privilege of riding a horse and riding a car in the imperial city, so he went all the way unobstructed and came to Tai Chi Hall to meet Li Shimin.
