Before noon, Li Mu took Li Bai to the Taishi Bureau. This time, Li Bai did not stubbornly walk and rode in a carriage with Li Mu.
On the way, Li Mu briefly explained the core content of modern patented technology to Li Bai. According to Li Bai's innate understanding, Li Mu did not need to repeat it a second time.
"Patents are the seeds of innovation. Encourage all walks of life to continue to innovate, and the country and people will enjoy the huge benefits brought by patents." Li Mu discussed such a serious topic with Li Bai for the first time.
Li Bai said: "I understand, you want to use the power of science and technology to change the world. Your Highness, your vision is very high and far-reaching. I will do a good job in this patent department."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Sir, I know you are not obsessed with officialdom. You like to do practical things. Let me give you four more words: seek truth from facts."
Li Mu gave Li Bai the four words "Grandpa". Li Bai looked at Li Mu in surprise. He was an idle and arrogant little prince who liked to do weird things. Li Bai was used to it.
But today, has this prince become so profound? Li Bai suddenly felt that Li Mu was another great philosopher.
"Your Highness, your judgment is profound, and Li Bai is sincerely convinced." It was also the first time that Li Bai truly admired Li Mu's thoughts.
Li Mu snickered in his heart, the old man's theory was applicable to everyone, whoever said he was smart, even Li Bai could fool him.
Li Mu smiled and said: "It's just copying. You're welcome, sir. Let's start from the Patent Department and make science and technology the primary productive force."
Li Bai kept nodding. Li Bai could understand what Li Mu said, but he felt it was too profound and needed to be understood deeply. However, he was already impressed by Li Mu.
The two chatted about these serious and formal topics, and soon arrived at the Taishi Bureau. A servant had already run to report the news. After a while, Li Congshan trotted out and presented Li Mu with a gift.
Li Mu went about business and introduced Li Bai to Li Congshan.
Li Congshan looked at Li Bai and said enthusiastically: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Li, the official document has been received. Because of His Highness the prince's promotion, our Taishi Bureau has expanded its scale and welcomed a great poet like Mr. Li. Taishi Bureau Peng Pi
Shine."
Li Bai also said a few words of modesty, and the three of them went in together.
Li Mu asked: "Master Li, you have been very prosperous recently. When I met my father yesterday, my father also praised Master Li for his good leadership, the unity of the Taishi Bureau, and the high efficiency of work."
Li Congshan said respectfully: "This is all promoted by His Highness. I have offended His Highness a lot in the past. I never expected that Your Highness would repay kindness with kindness and be so broad-minded, which makes me ashamed. From now on, I will always be at your disposal."
Li Mu said: "Master Li has benefited the people. My father and everyone see it. I won't talk about this anymore. How did Master Li of the Patent Department settle down?"
Li Congshan hurriedly took out the relevant documents from the cabinet and handed them to Li Mu. Li Mu did not read them and handed them directly to Li Bai.
Li Congshan said: "According to the establishment in the document, Mr. Li's Patent Department operates independently, with twelve people including servants and clerks. The salary of each person is clearly written, and Mr. Li will never be treated badly."
Li Mu nodded and looked back at Li Bai. Li Bai finished reading the document and nodded in affirmation.
Li Mu said: "Master Li, Mr. Li is not only the director of the Patent Department, but also my teacher. Please take care of me, Master Li."
Li Congshan smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will only help the Patent Department and will never cause trouble. Mr. Li, may I take you to your official office?"
Li Bai looked at Li Mu and waited for Li Mu to make the decision. Li Mu smiled and said: "Since you are a family, I will not interfere. I will leave first and you will slowly hand over the official affairs. Mr. Li, don't forget to go back early in the afternoon."
, there are also a group of friends who want to congratulate Mr.
Li Mu said this deliberately, one was to save face for Li Bai, and also to remind Li Congshan not to be nagging and pestering Li Bai.
Li Bai agreed, and the two of them gave Li Mu a gift and sent Li Mu out. Li Mu got on the carriage directly.
Li Bai did a good job. He rescued a great poet who was in dire straits from his predicament. Now that he has an official position and a goal, there is no guarantee that he will still be able to display his ambitions and prosper in the future.
No more wandering around the country or dying in a foreign land.
All Li Bai’s fans should be very grateful to him, right?
Li Mu asked the carriage to take him to Hengjie No. 5, then sent the carriage back and took a small road to go to the yard where Aunt Gongsun was resting.
Li Mu felt very guilty after not visiting Aunt Gongsun for several days.
The door was ajar, and Li Mu gently pushed it open and went in. He saw Twelve Mothers with her back to him, washing clothes.
The autumn sun was warm, and Twelve Niang was only wearing a pink and white singlet. She bent over and rubbed her clothes, looking extraordinarily simple and down-to-earth.
Li Mu approached and stared at the girl from the side. Twelve Niang suddenly felt someone. When she turned around, she screamed when she saw Li Mu.
Li Mu asked with a smile: "It's me. Seeing you panic, you feel like you've seen a ghost? Am I that scary?"
Twelve Niang hurriedly crossed her hands and subconsciously held her collar: "What are you doing here? You are so sneaky and make no sound at all. It's scary to death."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "Put your hands down quickly. Your clothes are all wet. It's even more obvious. I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, it feels like you've grown up?"
Twelve Niang's face turned red, and sure enough, the clothes on her chest were already wet, and everything was looming, so she quickly lowered her head in shame, "You, rogue," and was about to cry after she said that.
Li Mu said: "You are always so unreasonable. You wear single clothes by yourself and are not afraid of the cold. You blame me for peeking. But to be honest, I didn't expect you to be quite plump. How old are you?"
Li Mu had met Twelfth Niang twice before, and each time they were bickering and never looked at her carefully. Unexpectedly, this little girl was quite capable, but she was not forgiving.
Twelve Niang was ashamed and angry, and shouted in a low voice: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to beat you up. Get out quickly, get out."
Twelfth Mother said, picked up a piece of wet clothes, and swung it towards Li Mu, throwing out a curtain of water. Li Mu hurriedly dodged.
After leaving the danger zone, Li Mu smiled and said: "If you don't let me see you, please remember to wear an extra layer underneath so that you don't have to worry about freezing if you put it in neutral. Where is your master? I have a serious business with her."
Twelve Niang said angrily: "Master is not in the house. He has gone to the Fenghe River. You can get out immediately, or I will."
Twelve Niang didn’t know what would happen to her. She should at least cry and make a fuss. The main thing was to change her clothes first and get dressed properly before arguing with Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Being conservative means being backward. Girls with arrogant figures should be envied and appreciated by others."
Before Li Mu finished speaking, Twelfth Mother burst into tears, and Li Mu was so frightened that she ran away.
Girls should be more conservative, and being reserved is more addictive. As Li Mu ran, he compared in his mind the advantages of girls' various postures and makeup, and the young ones like Twelve Niangs were the most imaginative.
Soon, Li Mu met Aunt Gongsun by the Feng River. Aunt Gongsun was sitting blankly by the river, looking at the river, as lonely as a sculpture.
Li Mu sat next to Aunt Gongsun and asked softly: "Aunt Gongsun, what did you see? What are you thinking about?"
Aunt Gongsun was startled, turned around immediately, and asked in surprise: "Is it you?"
Saying that he was about to give Li Mu a gift, Li Mu hurriedly held down Aunt Gongsun's hand and said, "Okay, no more formalities. Are you thinking about those painful things again? Are all the injuries on your body healed?"
Aunt Gongsun said: "The physical injuries are almost healed, but the injuries in my heart are more painful and serious."
Aunt Gongsun was in a low mood.
Li Mu said: "Everyone has painful things. I can't help you with the pain in your heart. You need to heal it yourself. Madam Gongsun, no matter how big the hatred is, you must let it go. People cannot live in hatred forever."
Aunt Gongsun nodded silently: "I also want to let go, but besides hatred, there is nothing in my heart now?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "This doesn't seem right. You have hatred in your heart, but also love. Love can melt all hatred."
Aunt Gongsun suddenly burst into tears and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, I scared you last time and made you misunderstand. I was confused. Is he okay?"
Li Mu had already figured it out in his heart that Aunt Gongsun wanted to come over to see her often, but in fact, it was Xiaobai she wanted to see.
At this time, Aunt Gongsun explained and revealed her longing for Xiaobai, but Li Mu pretended to be confused.
Li Mu asked: "Ms. Gongsun, who are you talking about? Please name him. When you hate someone, or when you love someone, be direct."
Aunt Gongsun looked at Li Mu with a blush on her face. She was indeed completely different from before.
"Your Highness, may I ask Mr. Li Bai, how is Mr. Li? Where is he?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "That's right. If there is a perfect match between a man, a talented man and a beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty, it must be Mr. Li and Aunt Gongsun. One is the best in poetry and prose, and the other is the best in sword dancing. They are a perfect match."
Aunt Gongsun said shyly: "I make His Highness laugh, I am not worthy of Mr. Li."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Don't hold on, you two obviously like each other in your heart, but you are still coy about it. Madam Gongsun, would you like to know where Mr. Li is?"
"think."
"Then let me tell you, I came to see you today for two things. One is to find you a job, and the other is to tell you about Mr. Li."
