Regarding this result, not only Di Renjie was stunned, but the others were also dumbfounded.
Especially those who have never met Di Renjie before find this decision extremely absurd.
What ability does a young kid have to be the housekeeper of the Mu family?
"Master, if I remember correctly, this kid is Di Renjie, right?"
Gao Kan pointed at Di Renjie, looking incredulous.
The rest of the people also expressed doubts.
It's like being talkative but not being able to do things well, being young and having limited qualifications, making it difficult to convince the public, etc.
Muchuan just looked at this with cold eyes.
Or maybe they felt the coldness coming from Muchuan's body, so everyone quickly shut their mouths.
Muchuan said coldly: "Is this Mu family mine or yours?"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The young master has not been at home for a long time, making them all forget their identities.
Looking at the entire Mu family, Muchuan is the real master.
"Di Renjie."
"The disciple is here!"
Di Renjie stood up quickly. This was the first time he felt pressure from Muchuan.
He finally realized that his teacher was not a weak scholar.
Muchuan looked at Di Renjie from a distance and said calmly: "You will temporarily take over the position of housekeeper. Do you have any objections?"
"No disciple dares to disobey!"
Di Renjie is not stupid. Even if he doesn't have the ability to do it now, he still has to bite the bullet and do it.
"Very good. All of you, please remember that Di Renjie will be the temporary butler of my Mu family from now on."
Muchuan's tone became a little more serious and he said: "If you let me know who dares to disobey Di Renjie, I will take care of you according to the family law!"
"yes!"
At this point, the most important butler candidate has finally been chosen.
Of course, today's choice is also Muchuan's helpless move.
Although Di Renjie is talented and will be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future, after all, he is just a child now, and being a housekeeper is indeed a bit reluctant.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Muchuan had many generals under his command, and the number of civil servants was extremely rare.
Inexplicably, Muchuan thought of the strange woman in Jiao City.
If it were Liu Ruyu, taking the position of housekeeper would be her best choice.
I hope the Liu family won't be too overwhelmed with thoughts. Muchuan prayed secretly.
Later, Muchuan reviewed the overall status of the Mu family's business in the past few months.
Needless to say, the industries in Chang'an City are quite stable, especially the Home Inn chain hotel, which has become a holy place for drinkers from all over the world.
But outside Chang'an, things became a little complicated.
Branches in big cities such as Luoyang, Xianyang, Taiyuan, etc. are all subject to huge restrictions.
Except for the Home Inn chain hotel, which remains as popular as ever, the Longrich branches everywhere are experiencing bleak business.
The reason is that the transportation cost of major goods is too high.
After learning this situation, Muchuan also frowned.
Road paving must be set on the schedule.
Of course, building roads is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible to achieve it just relying on the Mu family.
Therefore, Muchuan had to report this matter to Li Shimin.
In addition, the priority of steam engines is also the first echelon.
As for the steel forging technology, Muchuan did not intend to hide it for himself, and using it to show his loyalty to Li Shimin was the best choice.
After all, the overall strength of the Tang Dynasty has become stronger, and Muchuan can draw more nutrients from it.
After finishing all matters, it was already late at night.
Muchuan also fell into a deep sleep.
He was so busy on his first day home. Muchuan had already imagined that he would be as busy as a top for a while.
…
"Your Majesty, Muchuan has arrived in Chang'an."
"Very good, the account should be settled."
"Yes, I will send someone to Chang'an tomorrow."
"By the way, there's something else I need you to do."
"Your Majesty, just ask."
A cold look flashed in Li Chengdao's eyes, "The harem draft is coming soon, arrange some people to go in."
The kneeling men couldn't help but look shocked, "Is your Majesty planning to assassinate Li Shimin?"
"No, no, no, with my uncle's caution, the assassination is simply a meaningless act to arouse the enemy."
Li Chengdao sneered and said: "I just want to put in more eye spies. The day Li Chengqian gets into trouble is when the Tang Dynasty changes hands."
"According to the order!"
On the second day, Muchuan got up before dawn.
The construction of the steam engine was imminent, and Muchuan was unwilling to delay for even a quarter of an hour.
There is a workshop on the outskirts of the city.
This is a place Muchuan has prepared long ago to develop various cross-era objects.
A large number of carpenters and craftsmen have gathered here early. These people are elites from all walks of life recruited by Muchuan.
A steam engine is a precision instrument after all. If there is a problem with one link, it will basically fail.
Therefore, in the early stages, Muchuan planned to stay here all day long to supervise the work.
"Everyone, before the work officially begins, there is one point I need to emphasize again and again."
Muchuan swept the crowd away and said, "None of you are allowed to leak out the things made here."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."
Hearing this, everyone was a little nervous.
They knew that Muchuan was not joking. With the Mu family's energy in Chang'an, if they offended Muchuan, they might be separated the next day.
Muchuan changed the subject and spoke in a slightly softer tone, "Of course, as long as you do your best, I will never owe you any money or rewards. My Mu family has never been a stingy master."
"Okay, let's start work!"
Later, Muchuan asked people to carry out the exhibition board, with a huge blueprint posted on it.
As soon as this picture appeared, it caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"What a sophisticated instrument! I have never seen it in my life!"
"Oh my God! What is that? A gear?"
"The sky has eyes. Before I died, I was actually able to participate in the construction of such a magical thing. Even if I die now, I can still smile!"
Seeing the craftsmen so excited, Muchuan was also a little excited.
With the enthusiasm of these people, it must not take long to build a steam engine.
Muchuan waved his hand to suppress everyone's voices. He held up a loudspeaker and said, "Everyone, you must bear in mind what I am going to say next."
At this time, a large number of people came out and gave each craftsman a notebook and a pencil.
Although everyone finds notebooks novel, at least they are still within the scope of their knowledge.
But for new gadgets like pencils, everyone finds them magical.
It's obviously just a black pen barrel, but it can actually write words directly without even being stained by ink. It's really miraculous!
The pencil was naturally developed by Muchuan.
As for the recipe, it comes from a mission on the way back home.
The raw material is natural graphite produced in coal mines.
In short, it won't be long before Muchuan fills notebooks and pencils into Longliqi's goods. It is conceivable that Longliqi's business will face a small climax by then.
