So Muchuan immediately shook his head and said: "No! You don't want me to work, do you?
I won’t do it anymore!”
"Lord Muchuan, please don't be so willful, okay?
These are your jobs, if you don’t do them, who will?”
"You two do it! Mo Zhu has no time, so don't you have time?
After all, you are Minister Zuocheng and my right-hand man!"
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to help you, I also have a lot of work myself!"
At that moment, Ouyang Bufan started to complain, saying that he had already taken on one-third of the work in order to help Mo Zhu, and that he would have to stay in the official residence of the Ministry of Revenue when he returned.
As for the work now assigned to Muchuan, it was all the work that originally belonged to the Minister of Household Affairs, especially the purpose of issuing national bonds, the design sketch of the royal workshop, the processing and sales of cash crops, etc. These tasks can only be completed by Muchuan alone.
.
"So Lord Muchuan, I really have no choice."
"I know, I know... But even if I take all this work away, it will take at least half a month before I can return to Chang'an City."
"Hehe, I have already thought about it for you, sir."
Ouyang Bufan waved again, and a man stepped out of the carriage.
The man was tall and thin, with short eyebrows, small eyes, and dark skin. When he came over, Yu Muchuan and Ouyang Bufan saluted respectfully.
Ouyang Bufan called this man "Xiao Ma". He was the groom of Ouyang's shop. He was not good at anything except riding horses quickly.
When Muchuan goes on the road this time, he can work on the road. According to Muchuan's efficiency, he should be able to complete the work approval in four days. At that time, Xiao Ma will bring Muchuan's completed work documents back to Chang'an and hand them over to various places.
officials carry out the execution.
"That's probably it, Lord Muchuan."
Ouyang Bufan said with a smile.
After Muchuan heard this, he felt bad all over. Why was he like a "tool man"?
However, there was no choice. Only Muchuan could complete these tasks, and many things could not be delayed, so Muchuan could only agree to the request.
An hour later, Muchuan and Ouyang Bufan said goodbye, and Muchuan began to embark on the road to Dongyang County.
The journey was long, and Muchuan was not bored during this period. He stayed in the carriage and worked. It felt like a modern student completing his homework.
After four days of waiting, Muchuan handed all the household documents to Xiao Ma, and then sent Xiao Ma back to Chang'an City on his behalf.
Time flies by, the sun and the moon fly by, and six days pass by unknowingly.
Dongyang County is a remote small town in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. The city walls are low, and the city is full of straw wooden houses. The scenery is bleak, and there is a desolate atmosphere everywhere.
If compared with the imperial city of Chang'an, it's like heaven and earth.
At this time, in the center of Dongyang County, the official list in front of the government office was announcing something.
The Chang'an court has arrested a group of Koguryo thieves, a total of seventy people. They will be executed in five days to serve as a warning and to show that the Tang Dynasty's territory must not be offended! The majesty of the emperor must not be desecrated!
Many people gathered in front of the official list, and everyone was obviously excited to see this list.
"It turns out that the imperial court captured people from the Goguryeo Kingdom. These people are really too eager to die and dare to assassinate the emperor! How stupid!"
"These people should be killed. They just led troops to attack our Dongyang County two years ago. My farmland was destroyed by them! It's better to kill them, they deserve it!"
"The time is in five days, haha, then we will see the heads of these thieves fall to the ground."
The people in Dongyang County seemed excited and happy, no wonder they were like this.
Dongyang County is connected with Goguryeo, so wars break out all year round.
Two years ago, Goguryeo broke through the border with the Tang Dynasty and launched a large-scale army. As a result, Dongyang County was covered with desolation and suffered heavy losses of property and personnel, which aroused the anger of the people.
However, at this time, there was one person among the people who bowed his head and remained silent.
This person is wearing a gray cowhide cloak and a white cloth hat. He is mysterious. He is Kim Hyun Bin!
After escaping from the hunting forest that time, Jin and Xuan Bin acted cautiously, and finally kidnapped the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and attempted to take him back to the country.
However, after going all the way to Dongyang County, Jin and Xuan Bin found that the entire border was blocked! It was airtight!
If it were normal, although there would be a large number of soldiers stationed on the border between Dongyang County and Goguryeo, they would not be as numerous as now.
If we carefully look for gaps in the defense line, we can still cross the border and return to Goguryeo.
result?
Now hundreds of thousands of soldiers are guarding it. If Kim and Hyun Bin show up, they will probably be caught by the soldiers.
Needless to say, people in the Tang Dynasty court must have realized that Jin and Xuan Bin wanted to kidnap the crown prince and return to the country, so they deliberately set up such a scene.
As for the list of official documents in front of me?
I'm afraid it's also a trap!
Jin and Xuan Bin secretly thought that setting up this list to inform the people was actually not that simple, but they wanted to lure the snake out of its hole and lure me out!
The interrogation will be held five days later. As members of the Goguryeo Kingdom, Kim and Hyun Bin will definitely be present at the scene. Even if they cannot save their fellow countrymen, they will still mourn for them.
By then, soldiers from the Tang Dynasty will probably search and arrest people at the scene!
Jin and Xuan Bin had already seen the tactics of the Tang Dynasty court, so they did the opposite. The other party wanted to lure him out, but he couldn't get out!
However, judging from these points, Jin and Xuan Bin felt that there were indeed some masters in the Tang Dynasty court. First, they surrounded the border with heavy troops, and then used this method to lure the snake out of its hole. It was obviously a resourceful official who came up with it.
Could it be that Muchuan, the Minister of Household Affairs?
Jin and Xuan Bin were secretly wary.
Whether it was an assassination at a "martial arts exchange meeting" or at a hunting ground, Muchuan suddenly appeared and ruined his good deeds, which made Jin and Xuan Bin wary.
It's just that Jin and Xuan Bin have already had a perfect plan. No matter how smart Muchuan is, they can't stop him after all!
After that, Jin and Hyun Bin turned around and disappeared into the crowd of people, coming and going without a trace.
Early the next morning, it was Dongyang Plain, which was the border between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.
There is a walled city built on the plain. It is built of wood and covers an area of 1,000 acres. It is heavily guarded outside and contains various cold weapons and stables.
The "coach's tent" in the center of the walled city has a spacious space, and Muchuan himself is lying lazily on a Taishi chair, holding a chicken leg in one hand and drinking wine in the other.
Temujin Dali was waiting at the side and asked: "Sir, we have been in Dongyang County for a whole day... but we are just resting like this. Is this not a problem?"
