Chapter 400 Agreed
To Li Shimin's surprise, when he expressed Li Mu's suggestion, the four people agreed after a brief hesitation. Such an agreement made Li Shimin, who had prepared a lot of speech, feel embarrassed on the spot. At the same time, he also had a question, why did the four people agree? Did Li Mu have done something behind his back?
As a king, even if you trust a minister, subconscious doubts cannot be avoided.
Li Shimin remained silent, but he was secretly concerned and listened carefully to the reasons of Changsun Wuji and the other two. After hearing this, his doubts were resolved. This matter really had nothing to do with Li Mu. The four of them made decisions based on their respective positions.
The reasons for Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui were similar to those of Li Mu on the same day. They each represented one force and had many workshops born in their cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these workshops are now short of people. Without people, there will be no labor. Without labor, the orders will be completed slowly, and the speed of making money will naturally be slow.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tang Jian was in charge of taxation. The number of workshops directly brought about the prosperity of commercial taxation. He naturally wanted to reach the transaction as soon as possible, so as to collect more commercial taxes into the treasury. The filling of labor is the most direct way to solve this problem.
Wei Zheng's attitude was ambiguous, but Li Shimin could guess his idea. Shandong has always been a major grain production site, with grain storage for aristocratic families and mountains of grain stocks. If tens of thousands of Turks migrated to the Central Plains to work as workers, they would not be able to produce and still have to eat, and they would definitely use the money they earned from working to buy food. The number of people buying food will naturally rise, which is definitely a great benefit for the Shandong gentry who store grain.
None of these reasons could be influenced by Li Mu, so the possibility of Li Mu's connection behind it was ruled out.
The important officials in the court who represented one force expressed their opinions, and the matter could basically be settled. Li Shimin felt much more comfortable, and the next thing was to find Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, and discuss a candidate to assist Tuli's son. After selecting the person, the matter would be solved by 80%. As for the migration of tribes, Li Ji was in Bingzhou, which was enough to calm the scene, and there was no need to worry too much.
A big rock fell to the ground, and Li Shimin felt much more relaxed. He asked someone to bring pastries and tea to entertain the four important officials. He had just misunderstood Li Mu and felt a little guilty. Suddenly he was curious about what Li Mu was doing, so he asked Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao had been with Li Shimin, but he didn't know the news. But there was a way. Eunuch Gao winked at Li Shimin, turned around and went out, and came back soon after, and Li Mu's news had been brought back.
Yuan Tiangang arranged the message transmission channel. Every hour passed, a bad messenger would pass the message to the palace. At this time, the note in the hand of Eunuch Gao was the message that had just been passed on to the palace and happened an hour ago.
Eunuch Gao presented the note to Li Shimin with both hands. Li Shimin took a look and laughed. He handed it to Changsun Wuji and others for circulating it, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, your son in your family will be in Li Mu's hands, and he may be punished."
After reading the words on the note, Changsun Wuji handed them to Tang Jian and said with a wry smile: "This Li Mu can tell a lie in the blink of an eye. He has found me, and I don't know what's going on. Poor, my Chong'er, was forced to run twenty miles by him... That child is 200 kilograms. Alas, I really don't know how much he suffered!"
After seeing this, Tang Jian also showed a look of distress, but since Li Mu was also his stepson, he gritted his teeth and endorsed him, saying, "He said that on my side. Alas, Tang Guan is also a little weaker, so it's good to exercise."
When Wang Gui heard them say such words, his heart was already in his throat. When he took the note, he couldn't help but turn red in his eyes. He handed it to Wei Zheng casually and sighed: "I pity my younger brother Wang Pu. My father has never said anything sternly since he was a child. Unexpectedly, he is thirty years old and is still tormented like this-" He was about to complain a few times, but he was afraid that Li Mu would know what he said, so he pursed his lips and ended in vain.
Wei Zheng saw it but had no reaction. His son did not sign up again, but he was worried when he saw that more than half of the elimination. He took the two people in the early morning, but he didn't know if he could hold on.
The note returned to Li Shimin's hand. Li Shimin took aside, took a sip of tea, and smiled and said, "When I asked, Li Mu told me that he used other people's money to do other people's affairs. Now when I see it, it's true. After this kid suffered a loss, he is really very careful and doesn't easily make money by himself."
When Changsun Wuji and the other four heard this, they complained in their hearts. Your Majesty, are you confused? When did this kid Li Mu suffer a loss? When did you ask him, of course he said he suffered a loss, but in fact, what did he do to suffer a loss?
Li Shimin seemed to have not noticed their strangeness and said to the consultant: "My dear friends, do you think Li Mu's move is good or bad?"
The four of them looked at each other, but Changsun Wuji, the uncle of the country, spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, Li Mu has always taken a different approach, and it is impossible to guess. I don't know, and I believe that only when the result comes out will I know whether it's good or not."
Wang Gui nodded quickly and said, "I mean the same thing. Zhulu Hou is so imaginative, and he really can't expect it."
Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian and Wei Zheng again. Tang Jian naturally expressed support, but Wei Zheng did not comment, as if good or bad had nothing to do with him. This look made Li Shimin very annoyed. He glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, I heard that your daughter is now Li Mu's secretary--you used to be my secretary-in-chief, and your daughter is now Li Mu's secretary, which is really interesting."
Wei Zheng's expression froze. After a while, he said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's any meaning. I have broken off the father-daughter relationship with my rebellious daughter. What she does has nothing to do with me."
"Is that right?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "I also plan to say that if my beloved is the son-in-law Li Mu, I will issue an order to marry him. You must know that Li Mu has four wives and concubines and an imperial edict from me. Your daughter will not be bullied if she marrys Li Mu. But looking at her beloved, it seems that she doesn't need it, but I am so self-indulgent."
Wei Zheng didn't know that Li Shimin was joking, but he had no choice but to speak without saying a word, pretending not to hear it.
Everyone laughed, but didn't say anything too much. Wei Zheng was a censor and was eloquent. Before Li Mu came out, he was a person who no one dared to provoke. Even with Li Mu, no one dared to provoke Wei Zheng easily. After all, no one could attract Li Mu. If Wei Zheng provoked him, no one could withstand him.
...
The tent was distributed according to the standard of four people, just like the craftsmen who were working in Xiaoyao Valley. Originally, the students wanted to ask each person to put a tent, and the things were enough, because there were many tents prepared and the place was large enough. Li Mu agreed, but when he took action, the students found that even if they were four people, they could not get a tent. The Jinyiwei demonstrated it very simple to set up a tent, and even six people could not get a tent. The final result was that before it became completely dark, only more than twenty tents were built, and on average, six or seven people slept in a tent. It was really a matter of people next to each other, crowded with people, and there was no room for turning around.
However, there is one advantage of this, that is, it is not cold anymore. It is now the twelfth lunar month, and snowflakes are still floating outside the valley. When the cold wind is biting, the valley is much warmer, but it is also warm and cold. When the wind blows in the mountains at night, it will make your heart cool. If there is not a tent, it is still crowded to sleep like this, and it is normal to wake up in the middle of the night.
The craftsmen in the valley before were already very experienced. They dug a large pit on the ground, put branches and other things on the pit, and wrapped them in mud and roasted them. This formed a simple "kang". They added a fire at night and kept the smoke inside, so that they would not be cold all night.
But students don’t know how to learn this craft, they all need to learn slowly.
This was the first night of camping in the valley. Li Mu did not leave and stayed. Although he wanted to go home and sleep with his wife, he himself felt that he was too unkind and stayed with condemnation with conscience.
It's late at night, people are not quiet.
For students who can sign up for 100 or even 200, the conditions at home are not too bad. Even if Ma Zhou is a guest like this, he will live several times better than ordinary people. Now sleeping in the valley overnight is like a sudden disaster for them. How big is it to be able to sleep.
Li Mu took the two generals of Hum and Ha to patrol between the tents, and could clearly hear the sound of talking in a low voice. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, most of them were scolding him. Li Mu knew it well, but he didn't mind. Just scold him. As for people, you have to be a little confused, as long as you don't scold him in person.
After walking around, I was about to go back to the carriage to sleep when I suddenly saw a fat figure by the river. According to the current personnel in the valley, there would be no second person with this size except Changsun Chong.
Li Mu signaled Dugu Jiu and Li Chongyi and came to the river alone. Changsun Chong was very vigilant, and Li Mu walked behind him, but he didn't notice it.
"What is this guy doing?"
Li Mu was confused and leaned closer a little closer. With the moonlight, he finally saw clearly that Changsun Chong was cleaning the wound on the inner side of his thigh. Li Mu was never fat for two years and really couldn't empathize with it. However, when he saw Changsun Chong's injury, he felt a little guilty. Perhaps twenty miles were indeed a bit too much for him.
"Good disciple..." Li Mu greeted him, and was about to tell him that if he really couldn't hold on, he wouldn't run tomorrow. Before he could say it, Changsun Chong screamed, his feet slipped, and his pants didn't have time to lift up, and he fell into the river.
"Save...gudongdong...life--"
