Every woman in Li Mu occupies an indispensable position beside him.
Bai Qiaoqiao has a deep affection for him, and has a close connection with him. The two of them have gone from being ignorant to understanding each other, and they have become a husband and wife who understand each other.
Li Zhien is cute, cute, and extremely smart. When she is around, Li Mu always feels happy.
The feeling Wang Ou gave him was relatively special. It not only made him feel the intellectual side of the royal sister, but also made him feel an inexplicable illusion similar to 'mother love'. Although Li Mu didn't want to admit it, it really attracted him.
He had this strange 'maternal love', especially after he knew that Sun was not 'his' mother, he subconsciously wanted to find someone to fill this sense of tolerance.
As for Zhang Tianai...
Li Mu himself couldn't explain how he felt. He didn't really believe how deep his feelings for Zhang Tianai were. But after learning the news that she was about to get married, he felt inexplicably unhappy and wanted to go.
destroy!
Li Mu secretly thought, maybe it was a kind of "occupying the latrine and not shitting" mentality at work? Anyway, she just didn't want to give it to others, an inexplicable possessiveness. The hypocritical person comforted herself like this: Anyway, she wanted to
By staying with me, I actually fulfilled her wish.
They took a nap holding Wang Ou's fragrant body, and after waking up, they had lunch together. Afterwards, Wang Ou changed his clothes and watched him leave in a carriage. Wang Ou felt very satisfied to be able to spend half a day together.
After all, she also knew that Li Mu was not an idle man and had many things waiting for him to do.
Wang Ou also got on the carriage. She was going to Jingdongji to take care of business. She suddenly thought of something, opened the curtain, and told the maid: "Lang Jun went out without any guards today. Arrange a few secret guards to follow. If there is anyone,
Anyone who misbehaves will be shot without mercy."
"As you command, saint."
The sound of ruts gradually faded away, the maid made a few gestures, and a few inconspicuous people nearby disappeared into the crowd.
…
Li Mu was not in a hurry to enter the palace. Although he had decided to do it, he had not yet decided how to do it. Instead of acting rashly and doing bad things with good intentions, it was better to think carefully before taking action.
He came to the Ministry of Industry.
The letter Dugujiu sent in the morning was to ask Cheng Qian to come forward and help him convene the merchants who came to congratulate him when the new government office of the Ministry of Industry was completed. They were all acquaintances in a place like Chang'an City.
, it is untenable for a big businessman to have no background. If you look closely, he is either a prince or a nobleman. Ordinary people, at most, it is just a shop.
That day when the Ministry of Industry moved to the Yamen, many businessmen came to congratulate them. Although the gift money was not much, Li Mu felt happy because he had this intention. He made a promise on the spot, and he would be rewarded in the future. However, two days have passed since then.
It had been a month, and everyone thought that Li Mu had forgotten about this matter. Unexpectedly, they suddenly received news that Li Mu was anxious for them to come to the Ministry of Works to discuss the matter.
Everyone understood that the Marquis was going to fulfill his promise. If not, why did he come to the Ministry of Works to discuss the matter? They knew that Li Mu liked to hold banquets in heaven and earth, and talk about things by the way.
The time Li Mu set in the letter was late, and most of these businessmen came at noon. For fear of missing something, many people did not eat, but it was easy to handle. The Ministry of Industry has a large canteen, not far from the conference room.
Although there is no exquisite meal, there is no problem in eating full.
In an emergency, these big businessmen, who never tire of fine food or fine food, sat at wooden stools and tables like ordinary craftsmen, eating soup cakes and noodles that only the "lower class" eat.
Waiting and waiting, finally, the sun set to the west, and it was almost midnight. The entourage sent to the square gate to look out for the wind finally came to report that the carriage of the Marquis Mansion was coming this way.
How could the merchants dare to neglect themselves? They all stood up and went out. Li Mu got off the carriage and saw the crowd of people in front of him. He was startled. When he saw Cheng Qian in the crowd, he frowned and asked, "I
I asked you to call the merchants who gave me gifts that day. Why do you call so many merchants? Anyone who has never given me a gift is an outsider to me. How can I give so many benefits to outsiders?"
When everyone heard this, they realized that there was something in what the Marquis said. Those who do not give gifts are outsiders. Doesn't it mean that he is saying, please give me gifts quickly?
Cheng Qian did not dare to offend Li Mu, the God of Wealth, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, you are wrong to blame Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao sent someone according to the personnel list at that time. There are more people coming. They must admire Mr. Hou and want to
Listen to the teachings."
Li Mu snorted and said: "Anyway, I have a list in my hand. Those who are not on the list later will not be able to take advantage."
After that, he walked to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and all the merchants made way for him, and they all followed him. From time to time, someone whispered, but it was hard to hear clearly, as if they were asking how to give gifts. But who would explain at this moment, the benefits are immediate,
Even my biological father can't think of it, let alone everyone is traveling together?
Arriving at the meeting room of the Ministry of Industry, Li Mu sat down at the main seat. Businessmen were also busy looking for seats to sit down. Li Mu could see clearly that everyone was seated in order of priority. The closer to him, the harder the backstage. As for
Although Cheng Qian was not a tough-talking person in the background, because he was the one who made the move, he also got a position on the left hand side next to Li Mu.
Li Mu knocked on the table, the sound was not loud, but the discussion stopped abruptly.
"You are all big merchants in Chang'an City. Your nobles are busy with things, so I don't waste much of your time. I still remember that a few months ago, when the Ministry of Industry and Commerce moved to the Yamen, you gathered together to come to congratulate me. I promised you to come here.
There will be rewards every day. But these days, I am really busy, so I have delayed these things. I have free time today, so I called you here and didn't delay everyone's business, right?"
Everyone hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please let go of everything. Even if you are facing a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to come to the meeting."
"It's true, the Marquis's reputation is as high as the sky. When we got the news, we were waiting here an hour in advance."
Li Mu smiled and continued: "Then let's not talk nonsense and get straight to the point. Perhaps everyone has learned the news that I have been wrongly loved by His Majesty and was appointed as the Minister-in-Chief of the newly established Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"I know, I know, congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis!"
"There is no need to say congratulations. I am very lazy. Your Majesty's wrong love is nothing more than a burden to me. There is nothing worthy of congratulations. I am in charge of my own affairs. Since I have already done this
The minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will naturally be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"You also know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was set up to replenish internal funds. The first priority is to make money!"
When everyone heard this, they felt very uneasy. When Zhuluhou invited everyone over, could it be that he held a Hongmen Banquet? His Majesty asked him for money, and he asked us for money? Can we still do this?
But thinking about it on the other hand, it’s unlikely. It’s said to be beneficial to everyone, so it can’t be a deception.
The merchants' eyes rolled around and they looked at each other, not wanting to be the first to show off.
Li Mu took everyone's expressions into consideration, smiled, and said: "Your thoughts are all in my heart. Don't worry, if I say there is something good for you, then it is something good. I, Li Mu, have always helped people and make money.
, this is something everyone knows.”
Everyone echoed incessantly, but they thought in their hearts, didn't your reputation as Zhuluhou come from deceiving people? There are indeed many things to do to make money, but you also did a lot of things to deceive people.
"You all come from all walks of life and each have their own livelihood. Now the Tang Dynasty is recuperating and recuperating. It is not an exaggeration to call business in decline. It is not easy to do business, right?"
Everyone said yes again and again, and a glimmer of hope surged in their hearts. After Zhuluhou said this, could there be a solution?
With the preparations almost complete, Li Mu finally stated his purpose: "I want to represent the Ministry of Internal Affairs and do business with you in partnership. Are you willing?"
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine Li Mu was selling in his gourd, and no one dared to answer. At this time, Li Mu winked at Cheng Qian in a subtle way. Cheng Qian understood and spoke at the right time according to what Li Mu wrote in his letter.
Said: "Master Hou, I have something to say."
"explain."
"The Marquis said that we would do business together, which is a good thing. We are just talking about business, and the Marquis knows the details of us. It is not our business, it is all handled by someone else. This person is in charge of the business,
If I lose, I can't afford it. So I have to ask a few more questions. I wonder what business the Marquis wants to do and how this business is done? Please ask the Marquis to clarify your doubts, otherwise everyone is afraid."
Cheng Qian laughed twice, and the meaning was self-evident.
Everyone finally waited for a winner and nodded their heads. Although Cheng Qian's words were simple, they expressed their feelings. In short, if there is no profitable business, everyone might as well stick to their own three acres.
By dividing the land, at least the risk is eliminated.
As if he was afraid that Li Mu would go crazy, Cheng Qian hurriedly added, "Master Hou, don't be angry. I have no choice but to do it."
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Don't be timid. Since we are doing business, everyone is equal. There is nothing wrong with talking about business." As he said that, Li Mu pointed to a person sitting in the corner. This person was Feng Si.
.
When Feng Si saw Li Mu pointing at him, he quickly stood up. The two of them had passed their breath a long time ago.
"This man's name is Feng Si. When Datang Daily was founded, I met this man when I went to buy paper in the West Market. While chatting, I found that this man was quite good at papermaking and had a dream in his heart.
He wanted to run a paper-making workshop. I was a man who loved talents, so I helped him buy a paper-making workshop. Not only did he quickly pay off my money, he also made the paper-making workshop bigger in a short time. Today, Datang
All the paper used in the daily paper comes from his workshop. Now he is making a lot of money."
Everyone looked at Feng Si. Some people recognized him and knew that he was a newly-emerged wealthy businessman in Chang'an City in recent times. He was rich, but also very low-key. He rarely interacted with others and rarely talked about his business. However,
