Chapter 536 The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs
In response to Muchuan's inquiry, Master Xuanzang did not show off and answered directly.
According to what Master Xuanzang said, although he does not know how to cure madmen, in Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, there are many exquisite Buddhist methods, including some profound methods of exorcism.
With Tianzhu's background, it's no problem to treat madmen.
After Muchuan listened, he felt dumbfounded.
According to this, Tianzhu is thousands of miles away. Even if Muchuan rode a Tiger motorcycle all the way, it would still take a year and a half to get there.
You know, there are no highways in this era. There are only dirt roads. Even if you are given a racing car, you won't be able to drive fast!
Although the methods given by Master Xuanzang were basically useless, Muchuan still expressed his gratitude and then withdrew.
Naturally, Muchuan would not go to Tianzhu to seek the Dharma. Instead, he would seek the next best thing and plan to advertise to the world and summon all kinds of strangers, promising a heavy reward.
As the saying goes, there must be fools under heavy rewards. Muchuan felt that there were probably eminent monks and Taoist priests who had real talents and knowledge but were short of money.
Although this method is not very efficient, it is still more reliable than going to Tianzhu to seek help.
After announcing the reward, Muchuan put aside the madman's matter for the time being.
Although these crazy people are crazy, they have animal instincts. They eat and drink whenever they can every day, and there is no need to worry that they will die in a short time.
If nothing goes wrong, these madmen may live much longer than ordinary people.
After the matter came to an end, Muchuan also had a rare moment of leisure.
Although Li Shimin did not break his promise, he promoted Muchuan to an official position and directly took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, becoming one of the six leaders.
Moreover, since the Hu Department is the most lucrative among the six departments, Muchuan's status has also increased.
On the day he took office, various monsters and monsters came to visit him.
Even Muchuan didn't accept any gifts, but these guys tried their best to give away anything.
After only one day in office, Muchuan understood how outrageous this position was.
No wonder so many people were jealous when Li Shimin announced the news in court.
Of course, Muchuan did not plan to make money by relying on his position as Minister of Household Affairs.
Corruption and bribery were something Muchuan hated so much that it was impossible for him to do them.
Having said that, those who are attentive can come up with novel methods of bribery.
When they learned that Muchuan had opened a shop, some people spent a lot of money in the shop, buying goods from Guanglongliqi, booking rooms in Home Inn chain hotels for several days, or booking out all the books of Mujia Newspaper.
All in all, since Muchuan took office as the Minister of Household Affairs, the income of the Mu family shop has increased many times.
Such phenomena naturally made Muchuan feel a sense of crisis.
After all, receiving benefits for nothing was not just a matter of life for Muchuan, let alone what would Li Shimin think?
You know, Li Shimin is the major shareholder, and he sees all changes in the store's income!
Therefore, Muchuan has had a lot of headaches these past two days.
For a moment, he couldn't think of a solution.
It is said that it is easy to deal with a gentleman but difficult to deal with a villain.
This impeccable method of bribery would be unstoppable to anyone else.
After all, he did not offer bribes directly, he just came to consume, and he was a real consumer.
Even if Muchuan wanted to stop him, there was no reason.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of consumption is actually to please Muchuan.
The sadness on Muchuan's face was also noticed by others.
"Master, the store's income has doubled several times in the past few days, why are you still so worried?"
Liu Ruyu asked knowingly.
As the president of the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce, how could she not understand the strangeness of this abnormal change in income?
Muchuan glanced at Liu Ruyu in confusion. He didn't think Liu Ruyu was a fool.
Muchuan knew Liu Ruyu's ability very well. It can be said that Liu Ruyu has the most outstanding business ability among all the people Muchuan has met.
Even Muchuan, a modern man, can't even compare to Liu Ruyu in terms of business.
Muchuan's advantage is actually the novelty of his ideas, not his talent for doing business.
Anyway, Muchuan shook his head and said helplessly: "Sister Liu, please stop teasing me, you clearly know why I am worried."
Liu Ruyu chuckled lightly and said, "Master, I really don't understand why you are worried."
"Isn't it a good thing if someone gives you free money?"
Hearing this, Muchuan naturally opened his mouth to refute.
He felt speechless and said: "You know what? There are no unwarranted benefits in the world. They all come with a price."
"Ruyu doesn't understand, please let me know."
"What does this mean? It's just that those people intend to use this to please me and hope that I will make it easier for them to do things in the future."
"In that case, wouldn't it be fine if the young master doesn't open this door?"
"How can that be done!"
"Why not?"
"It's not allowed to specify. Doesn't this break the rules?"
Muchuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Using people's money to eliminate disasters for others is a rule passed down for thousands of years. If you break the rule, you may be the target of public criticism.
Liu Ruyu shook her head and said, "Master, do you really think so?"
"Um?"
Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what Liu Ruyu meant.
Liu Ruyu continued: "Master, you have always been the person I admire most."
"Because you can always break the rules and not be bound by tradition."
"Why can't the young master stick to his usual style in this matter?"
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Yes, there is absolutely no need for you to follow other people's traps.
You like giving money, right?
Then give me more. Anyway, we are doing business seriously and we don't care about losses.
"Sister Liu, you still think clearly!"
Muchuan smiled and thanked.
If it weren't for Liu Ruyu's enlightenment, Muchuan Fang would still be torturing himself.
Liu Ruyu was naturally flattered by Muchuan's thanks.
In fact, what she wanted was not Muchuan's gratitude, nor was she seeking credit or anything like that. She just hoped that Muchuan would not be troubled by such things.
As a Baekje native, Liu Ruyu was well aware of the gap between herself and Muchuan, so she never dared to have any inappropriate thoughts.
However, occasionally in her dreams, Liu Ruyu would still have some fantasies.
Looking at Muchuan's leaving figure, Liu Ruyu couldn't help but smile.
If you are well, it will be sunny.
"Sister Liu, since you like the master, why don't you tell the master?"
Just as Liu Ruyu was looking longingly into the distance, a familiar voice sounded from above her head.
Liu Ruyu was briefly surprised, but soon calmed down.
She certainly knew who this person was. The only person in the Mu family who liked to stay on the eaves was Mu Yingchen.
Liu Ruyu and Mu Yingchen have a very good relationship. After all, they worked together for nearly a year when they were in Baekje Reef City.
