It was getting late and the palace gate was closed. Li Yuan ordered someone to send a letter back and told Li Mu that he would stay in the palace today and talked with him for half a night. Li Yuan had a banquet all night long and was considered an old night owl, and could survive better than Li Mu. At the end of the conversation, Li Mu had already wandered around the sky and didn't know what he said. Li Yuan was still energetic and full of expectations for his future business career.

Seeing Li Yuan's appearance, Li Mu really couldn't bear to tell him the truth. In fact, the deal that Li Mu thought of for Li Yuan was the only one who could do in the world. Just imagine what kind of deal is this? The deal of choosing talents and the deal of reselling treasures in the palace is a forbidden thing. If someone else did this deal, the next day the head would hang on the high pole. Besides, is the deal in Chang'an City so easy to do? There is no foundation behind it, and the deal will open today and close tomorrow. Moreover, there is no wall that is not airtight. Li Yuan hides for a while and cannot hide for a lifetime. Sooner or later, someone will know it, but the bottom is laid first, and no one who knows it dares to say it. Everyone holds it together to coax the old man to make it happy.

Li Shimin was very clear in his heart, but he didn't say it, which meant that he also recognized it. Li Mu was relieved half of his heart. No business in the world is easy to do, but the "Red Top" business is easy to do, so there is no need to worry about not making money. This is also the reason why Li Mu dared not share the profit. He just came up with an idea, relying on Li Shimin's power. If he took the money, what would Li Shimin think of him? If he offended his boss, would he still want to make a good fortune in the future?

That night, he rested in the side hall of Tai Chi Palace. Early the next morning, Li Yuan had breakfast together. Empress Changsun came to pay tribute and chatted for a few casual conversation before leaving. Li Mu wanted to say goodbye and went home, but Li Yuan refused. He called all the palace ladies in Tai Chi Palace and asked Li Mu to choose people to be his businessman. Isn't this a nonsense? Who used eunuchs as a businessman? Li Mu had persuaded him, so Li Yuan gave up this idea. He only chose more than a dozen handsome palace maids, intending to be used as waiters in the court and club after training in the future. Of course, this is a matter of later. Now the location has not been selected, so the training is naturally not on the agenda.

After lunch, Li Mu left Li Yuan a "homework" for Li Yuan. Don't you want to build a building? Let's name first. This is a big deal. The Supreme Emperor's business cannot be stingy or tacky. It really stumped Li Yuan. He wrote more than a dozen names on paper with a pen, but all of them felt that it was not good. Seeing that he was busy, Li Mu took the opportunity to say goodbye and go home. Li Yuan was thinking deeply and forgot to keep him. He just waved his hand and let him go.

As soon as Li Mu left the hall, he was stopped by the little eunuch he dealt with yesterday. Li Mu thought Li Shimin wanted to ask him to speak out again. After asking, he realized that the little eunuch was going to take him to the training office to select slaves. Li Mu didn't understand, so he asked the little eunuch. The little eunuch didn't take Li Mu seriously yesterday, but from yesterday to today, he saw with his own eyes that Li Mu was favored by the two emperors. Li Shimin gave him a plaque to slaves, and Li Yuan wanted to do business with him. He was a big celebrity, and his attitude towards Li Mu was naturally very different. He had a faint humble attitude, as if he was facing a duke. Seeing Li Mu asking about his slaves, he quickly picked up all the things he knew and said it.

After listening to the answer of this little eunuch, Li Mu really had some understanding of the slave system of the Tang Dynasty. The slaves in the Tang Dynasty were roughly divided into several types, official slaves, private slaves, and palace slaves. Private slaves were slaves for private transactions, just like Li Zhien and Li Chongyi. These slaves had a wide range of sources, but as long as they were not the people of the Tang Dynasty, they were not protected by the government, and the transactions were legal and the quality was relatively low. Most of them were the best.

Palace slaves and official slaves, and palace slaves refer to slaves in the palace, such as eunuchs, palace maids, etc., so outsiders naturally do not get involved. However, official slaves are different. People who have watched costume dramas have heard such words: criminals beheaded and their families are in the government office as slaves. One of the main components of official slaves is the family members of the criminals, especially female relatives. These people are well educated, and they are both well-versed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have talent. Another main part of official slaves is war slaves. For example, this time when the Turks were destroyed, many Turkic people became official slaves of the Tang Dynasty. Official slaves were purchased and received by nobles, and also rewarded by the emperor. Like Li Mu, they were rewarded by the emperor. Official slaves were also lowly, had no status, and did not need to pay taxes, and were regarded as vassals of the master.

Li Shimin was quite generous in his actions, and rewarded Li Mu with twenty slaves, and men and women were chosen at will. Li Mu regretted that if he had known this good thing, he would never have gone to the West Market to buy slaves. He spent so much money to buy a little fox and a big fool bear. After walking around the Jiaofangsi, Li Mu selected twenty people and ten young and strong people, intending to ask Wang Hu to help train and protect the house. He also chose four maids to help manage the back house. There were six, all of them functional talents. Two chefs, two grooms, one gardener, and one accountant. Li Mu thought in his mind that with these twenty people, it would be almost the same. If there were no one in the future, they might not necessarily use slaves.

The little eunuch kept sending Li Mu to the palace gate before he said goodbye. Li Mu also asked the little eunuch's name. The little eunuch's surname was Chen, and he was one of the adopted sons of Eunuch Gao beside Li Shimin. Li Mu gave him another piece of silver and was preparing to make friends. Eunuch Chen pretended to refuse and took the silver. His attitude towards Li Mu became more and more enthusiastic.

After leaving the palace gate, Li Mu rode a horse and brought twenty official slaves back to the Duke Cao's mansion. When he returned to his cross-yard, he found that there was no one at home. After asking, he found that Sun had already taken Bai Qiaoqiao to pack up his things to the new mansion yesterday. And this morning the emperor gave him a plaque, and Li Ji and Li Bi went to congratulate him. When Li Mu saw this, his family had moved and he could not stay. After thinking about it, he ordered the slaves to dismantle the distillation equipment and the iron-smashing guys in the martial arts field, found a ox cart to install it, and rushed to the new mansion of Anyifang.

After such a struggle, when Li Mu brought his people into Anyifang Gate, it was already dusk. Li Mu found his doorstep according to his memory and found that there was a red silk hanging in the middle of the door. The four powerful golden words "Zhulu Hou Mansion" shone brightly against the setting sun, and there was a seal next to it. Li Mu recognized it as the jade seal of the imperial examination that came back from searching for the news. Li Mu did not expect that Li Shimin not only gave him a slave, but also gave him a plaque. He was so thoughtful and moved. It was better for the boss in this life. The boss in his previous life was nothing. He stayed up late and worked overtime and didn't pay for it. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have died suddenly in his previous life!

Knocked the door knocker, and opened the door stupidly. Seeing Li Mu and the people behind him, Li Chongyi turned around and shouted: "The Marquis is back!"
