Li Mu is not a politician, and he really doesn’t know how to deal with government affairs. But there is no need to worry about the suggestions he makes being wrong, because he has an experience far beyond the current one thousand years, and he has seen history that has not yet happened.
He knows how history evolves. Maybe a system is not the optimal solution in the long history. But in the history that has been verified, when this system was born, it was the optimal solution at that time!
The system of native officials is also such a system. But the real system of native officials would be born hundreds of years later in the next dynasty, the Song Dynasty. Native officials are also called chieftains and chieftains, which correspond to the "current officials" appointed by the imperial court.
Generally speaking, there are promotions for floating officials. They take a small test every three years and a big test every five years. They can almost all be promoted or transferred. However, this is not the case for native officials. They were born and raised here and will never leave in their lifetime. Song Dynasty Ping Dynasty
After Nong Zhigao's uprising, the native chiefs were granted the title of native officials. From then on, native officials became one of the important means for the Central Plains Dynasty to control the southwest frontier. It was not until the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of "returning native lands to local officials" that they gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there has not been much change over the course of hundreds of years, which is enough to show that this system is in line with the trend of historical development.
A system has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of the native official system is that in places where it is "tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away", the court can use this method to provide a cost-effective "minimum effort"
Rule. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and the government orders of countries thousands of miles away could not be communicated. At the same time, the culture of the Central Plains and the culture of ethnic minorities were very different. It was really difficult to integrate with each other. What the Central Plains dynasty wanted was for all the countries to come to the dynasty, peace in the world, and the country
The official system can easily maintain this.
But disadvantages are inevitable. The local officials have held power for generations, and they are no different from the "ancient emperors". When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, it was nothing. If the Central Plains dynasty became weak, it would be easy to rise up.
But now, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. Most of the time, the Tang Dynasty was the overlord. At least before Li Mu's death, what he could see of the Tang Dynasty was in an 'ascending state'. As for what happened after that, he would die even if he died.
No matter what the flood is?
What Li Mu gave was the best solution for the imperial court and Miao territory at this stage. Not to mention Wang Ou, even if Changsun Wuji was here, he would not be able to find any faults.
The couple chatted for a while, took the child back to the room, and put him on the bed to sleep together. When the child woke up, Wang Ou fed him milk again, and Li Mu lit a lamp and wrote a secret note to Li Shimin.
What happened here must be explained. Especially when Wang Ou gave birth to a daughter, Li Mu especially wanted Li Shimin to know.
Li Mu also thought about it for a while, why did he feel this way? Showing off between love rivals? It doesn't seem to be the case. After all, Li Mu didn't seem to regard Li Shimin as a love rival. This feeling is very interesting, in Li Mu's subconscious mind
Here, he did not regard Wang Ou as his elder, nor did he regard Li Shimin as his peer.
Although Wang Ou is much older than him, beautiful women always have some privileges. This feeling is like... Li Mu recalled his junior high school days. At that time, Huan Zhu Ge Ge was a hit, and there were always people near the school.
Those who sell character stickers, I don’t know how many young people’s ignorant feelings are dedicated to the little swallows of Ziwei Jinsuo. At that time, the age gap between him and these actors was more than ten years, but at that time he did not think, "I will wait until I grow up."
Is there anything unreasonable about marrying you when I'm older?
The age gap will only make a difference after the years have produced growth rings. But beauty is always favored by time. Although he is also in his thirties, there is no trace of time on Wang Ou's face, only
The charm brought by age. It seems that he is in his twenties. Li Mu lived to be twenty-eight years old before time travel. His mental age is also thirty years younger, so naturally he will not feel anything wrong.
As for Li Shimin, although he is almost the same age as he was before time travel. But from the first time they met, they were only one generation apart, and with the blessing of a 'celebrity halo', Li Mu subconsciously regarded him as an elder and didn't feel anything wrong.
Appropriate.
It wasn't until he learned that Li Shimin liked Wang Ou that Li Mu began to have conflicts. But the feeling at the time was still, how could these two people get together? Li Shimin is an old cow——
But in fact, they are peers.
Now that Wang Ou has given birth to his child, the so-called cooked rice is done, and the situation has been decided. Li Mu has nothing to worry about. Tell Li Shimin that there is a little bit of wanting him to give up, but there is more.
Or, just like telling the elders that there is such a thing.
After talking about personal matters, business matters have to be talked about. After this 'battle', Li Mu has offended the 'two Cuisi' to death. Although the Cui family in Qinghe said on the surface that their eldest son and grandson died young, in fact, they could not know that Cui Yuzheng
Is it a living thing? Over the years, Cui Yuzheng has helped the Cui family a lot, both covertly and overtly. They know better than anyone how much of the so-called Wang Ou's business actually belongs to the Cui family. Now that Cui Yuzheng is dead, how can they do it?
stop?
This is especially true for the Boling Cui family. Cui Yuyan is the only heir of this generation of the Cui family. He was sentenced to exile and was robbed halfway. This must be a lot of effort. Now that he died in the hands of Li Mu, the Boling Cui family has since
If there is no heir, perhaps the huge family fortune will fall into the hands of others. This hatred can really be said to be 'this hatred will last forever'.
Although Li Mu said he didn't care, he had to think more about it now that he was raising a family.
Things still had to be done, but the method needed to be clever. Before he did it, he had to say hello to Li Shimin first, so that he could be prepared in advance for anything. Otherwise, he would inevitably be criticized again when they met again.
In about half an hour, Li Mu finished writing the letter. It was a piece of paper, written densely in small regular script on both sides. Li Mu tied the letter to the pigeon's leg, and before dawn, no one would notice, and tied the letter to the pigeon.
Let it go.
After doing this, he returned to the bedroom and found that the child had fallen asleep again. Wang Ou had already warmed the bed, and when he saw Li Mu coming back, he undressed him. Li Mu gently hugged Wang Ou, looked at the child in the cradle next to him, and gently
Sighed.
Wang Ou heard him sigh and asked, "Are you worried about the Cui family?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of them." The couple had nothing they couldn't say. Li Mu said, "I can afford Cui Yuzheng's death in my hands. It's just that, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a name."
.”
"Originally, I never thought about this." Wang Ou leaned on Li Mu's shoulder, echoing the words he had said in front of Qiaoqiao at that time, and said: "I am from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and I am the master of two families. When I marry,
Qinghe Cui's family, her mother's family, and her husband's family are all from famous families, no one can make her look down on her, and besides, I'm so much older than you——"
"You and I are already husband and wife, what are you doing with this?" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I must let you marry me openly. I have already thought of a way for the Wang family in Taiyuan, and I am absolutely sure that it's just the Cui family in Qinghe.
Here, after Cui Yuzheng died, I don't have much confidence anymore."
Hearing that Li Mu kept mentioning Cui Yuzheng, Wang Ou also had mixed feelings in his heart.
She was forced by her family to marry Cui Yuzheng. The two had never met before. Even because Cui Yuzheng had been ill since childhood and lived in seclusion, Wang Ou had never heard of such a person. She was reluctant to marry Cui Yuzheng. But this
Speaking of which, it's not Cui Yuzheng's fault, as the elder of the two parents is in charge. He has no feelings for Cui Yuzheng, but there is no hatred either.
Cui Yuzheng has been ill in bed for a long time, so there is no need to worry about what will happen. When Wang Ou first got married, she thought that she would live this life by herself. They were from a wealthy family, and there were many servants in the family, so she did not need to take care of the patients herself.
, reading books and raising flowers every day, why aren’t you living it up?
Later, by mistake, the two became a "symbiotic" relationship. Wang Ou had a reason to hate Cui Yuzheng, but she actually didn't hate Cui Yuzheng that much. They were all miserable people from the end of the world, so what's the point of coming and going all the time?
?What’s more, these things were not done by Cui Yuzheng. She is not an unreasonable person.
What really made her hate Cui Yuzheng was when Cui Yuzheng forced her to borrow seeds. Cui Yuzheng, who had been tortured by illness for many years and lived without today and no tomorrow, had already had enough, and his psychology finally became abnormal. But this
A portion of hatred was offset after meeting Li Mu. On the contrary, Wang Ou was still a little grateful to Cui Yuzheng. If it weren't for his persecution, how could she have met her sweetheart?
In fact, the matter between the two is just like Li Mu's mismatch between Wang Ou and Li Shimin. Wang Ou has never regarded Cui Yuzheng as her husband. Therefore, when she was dating Li Mu, no matter what she did, she was not guilty.
Feel this.
But Wang Ou actually knew Cui Yuzheng's feelings for her.
The thing that people can't hide the most is their feelings. Cui Yuzheng is not an inherently bad person. When the two just got married, although Cui Yuzheng could no longer move, he still actively wanted to get closer to Wang Ou. Wang Ou
Ou still remembers that he asked his servants to take out a stack of manuscripts, saying that they were exercises for calligraphy when he was eight years old. It can be seen that he has the charm of the two kings. If he has always been in good health, maybe Cui Yuzheng will also
Become an outstanding talent.
Perhaps, she will gradually accept the arrangement of fate and become a "respectful" couple with Cui Yuzheng.
Maybe, there will be nothing more to come.
But maybe after all, maybe, there is no hindsight in life. Her sympathy for Cui Yuzheng turned into disgust and hatred. Now that he is dead, everything has faded away like a passing cloud.
What she values now is the husband beside her and the sleeping baby in her arms. This is all she really cares about as a woman.
"Husband,"
Li Mu was about to squint and fall asleep. Wang Ou suddenly spoke. Li Mu responded in confusion and opened his eyelids: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
"I'll give all the business in my hands to the Cui family. Maybe I can exchange it for-"
"Hi," Li Mu put his arm around Wang Ou's shoulders and said, "I thought you had been thinking about it for a long time. What important thing did you think of? People always ask me for help, so there is no need for me to ask for help. I'm just worried.
I can't be aboveboard, but on the other hand, if I'm not aboveboard, who would dare to gossip about me? I'm just a fool. Sooner or later, when they beg me, I might as well think about the solution slowly and wait slowly. We should live our lives, and we can still
Is it necessary to ask them?"
Li Mu yawned and said, "Good boy, go to sleep. I haven't had a proper sleep for several days. I'm with you in everything. Just take good care of the child."
"Well -" Wang Ou pursed his lips. He had a lot to say, but Li Mu blocked the words and she didn't know how to speak. After hesitating for a while, Wang Ou said: "Husband, I have some business, and you also
Will you help me take care of it?"
"Oh, your husband and I are worth millions. I don't need your little money. As for business, you can do it if you want to do it, and if you don't want to do it, don't do it..."
"But my business is worth about one million dollars."
"A million is a hundred..." Li Mu suddenly sat up, looked at Wang Ou intently, and said, "What did you just say? Your business, also, is a million dollars?"
Wang Ou nodded and said: "The business has been expanding in recent years, from the East China Sea to the east, to Tubo in the west, to Qiongzhou in the south, and to Xueyantuo in the north, more or less."
Li Mu's head was full of questions. He was not doubting Wang Ou, but wondering how she did it.
Although Li Mu’s voice, come on, there are millions of voices. But can his situation be the same as Wang Ou’s?
"Oh, your husband and I are worth millions. I don't need your little money. As for business, you can do it if you want to do it, and if you don't want to do it, don't do it..."

Although Li Mu's voice, come on, it's worth millions. But can his situation be the same as Wang Ou's? "Oh, your husband and I are worth millions, so I don't need your little money. For business, I think.
Just do it if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it…”
"But my business is worth about one million dollars."
"A million is a hundred..." Li Mu suddenly sat up, looked at Wang Ou intently, and said, "What did you just say? Your business, also, is a million dollars?"
