Li Chongyi is thirteen or fourteen years old this year. He probably understands a little about the current situation facing the Hejian County Prince's Palace. He has already felt something about his future. His dream is to be a general. Who would be willing to give up his dream?
What? Even if you know that you can't change anything, but struggling for it is a reaction that everyone will have.
Li Chongyi ran out secretly today. He didn't ask his father for instructions, not because he was afraid of being rejected, but because he couldn't bear to see his father in trouble. Moreover, at this time, even if he wanted to ask for instructions, he couldn't because Li Xiaogong hadn't sobered up yet.
Li Mu came to Li Chongyi, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "Brother, please remember this sentence, the eldest brother is always the eldest brother, you don't need to provoke me, I will settle this matter for you. But you better not sign up.
, these positions are not suitable for you... you go to your brother and tell me what I mean, first become a royal guard."
"Really?" Li Chongyi's eyes widened. His real target was Jin Yiwei. He came to sign up just because he was worried that Li Mu would not help. He planned to sneak into the Ministry of Internal Affairs first and then think of a solution later. Unexpectedly, he actually omitted it.
Trouble, he directly achieved his goal. Li Chongyi was so happy that he wanted to kowtow to Li Mu. He hugged Li Mu tightly and screamed. Li Mu pushed him away and kicked him again. The young man was not angry either.
He mounted his horse and went to look for the big man.
After sending away the naughty boy, Li Mu came to the table at the registration office, looked at the account book in front of Wei Yingluo, and asked, "How many people are there?"
Wei Yingluo turned over the front and replied: "There are already one hundred and twenty-four people."
"Okay, the cutoff is 200 people. There are too many people. It's like we're committing fraud. If five people advance to one, the elimination rate is still much lower than the imperial examination. This can be regarded as saving face for them."
Wei Yingluo nodded, and Pearl shouted crisply: "There are still eighty-six places. Those who have signed up, hurry up and pay attention to the queue. Jumping in line will result in disqualification!" Suddenly there was a commotion behind the team, and everyone hurriedly counted themselves.
Fortunately, it was still early, so even the people at the end of the line were within the quota, but there were not many empty seats.
Li Mu was also counting the number of people. Looking at the length of the team, the 200 places would be filled in about an hour and a half. Li Mu thought for a while, lowered his head and said to Wei Yingluo: "When the 200 places are full, if anyone else wants to
Sign up. You look at the number of people. If there are few people, say the registration deadline. If there are many people, more than a hundred people, then you say it’s my wish and add another hundred people, but the registration fee will be doubled.”
So dark!
Wei Yingluo murmured in her heart but did not dare to say anything, so she nodded in agreement. Seeing Li Mu turn around and walk away, Pearl couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, the Marquis is too dark. One hundred strings per person, two hundred people."
That’s 20,000 guan. If the registration fee is doubled later, it will be 20,000 guan again. There is no commitment at all, just take people’s money, and you won’t get a refund if you don’t become an official. This..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Wei Yingluo said without raising her head: "Although Mr. Hou is cheating money, it is obvious. If these people are not greedy for profit, they will not come to give money. Each wish makes a wish.
You deserve to be cheated." After saying that, without hearing Pearl's response, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but frown, raised her head and said, "Zhenzhu, why don't you speak, dad?"
Wei Zheng stood awkwardly in front of Wei Yingluo. He happened to hear his daughter's words and his face turned red. He had to pretend not to hear and said with a straight face: "Sign up for these two."
Wei Yingluo tilted her head and saw two people standing behind Wei Zheng. They were both about 25 or 26 years old. They looked a little arrogant and seemed a little impatient. She felt something in her heart. She had been with Li Mu for so long. It was too long.
Knowing Li Mu's character, regardless of the talents of these two people, this kind of attitude will definitely not pass in front of Li Mu.
Seeing Wei Yingluo's hesitation, Wei Zheng thought she was worried that Li Mu would not allow people from Shandong to register, so he said: "I have already said hello to Li Mu and brought the money. You can help them register."
"Dad..." Wei Yingluo bit her lower lip and said, "You need to queue up."
"We're queuing up!" said a person behind Wei Zheng. He looked Wei Yingluo up and down and said, "Are you Wei Shibo's daughter? Huh, I've heard about you. It's really unimaginable that Wei Shibo has a daughter like you.
!”
"What's wrong with my young lady?" Pearl said unconvinced: "Who do you think you are, and why are you dictating to my young lady?"
"I can't talk to you, a maid, and I've lost my identity."
"You, you are so rude!" Pearl stamped her feet angrily and went to look for Li Mu. Wei Yingluo stopped her and said: "Master Hou is busy, don't cause trouble to him. Since we are queuing up, just register according to the rules."
Come on, Pearl, collect the money."
After saying that, he lowered his head to register and wrote down their names, origins, as well as their expertise and goals in the register.
One of them signed up for the Patent Office, and the other signed up for the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, both of which were popular departments in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. During this period, Wei Yingluo had been following Li Mu and knew exactly what the Patent Office and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau did.
When she saw these two people applying for these two departments, she knew what they were planning. Looking up at her biological father, Wei Yingluo sighed in her heart. She knew that Wei Zheng would not listen to her advice, but in Li Mu
How could he possibly succeed when he was planning on his own territory? Wei Yingluo really couldn't bear to see her biological father frustrated again!
Just when she was about to talk to her father, Wei Zheng had already turned around and left. Wei Yingluo sighed and continued to receive the next applicant. At this time, a eunuch delivering the order came on horseback, and he looked this way.
Seeing Wei Yingluo, he hurriedly entered the door. After a while, Li Mu followed the eunuch who delivered the order and came out of the Ministry of Works. When he saw Wei Yingluo, he told her that he might not be back when, and asked her to tell those who had completed the registration to go home and wait for the news.
good.
Wei Yingluo agreed, but Li Mu had already left.
…
The eunuch who delivered the order came in such a hurry, naturally because Li Shimin had an order. Li Mu was still wondering how important things could be in such a hurry. And he was very surprised that even if there were important things, they couldn't be found on his head.
, what did Changsun Wuji and others eat? Do you still think you are not busy enough?
Or is it because I got into trouble?
He came to the Tai Chi Hall anxiously, but Eunuch Gao opened the door for him without following him in. Li Mu felt a thump in his heart, it seemed that Li Shimin was not in a very good mood today.
Li Mu took a deep breath, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
"Here we come." Li Shimin's voice came over. Li Mu secretly raised his head, and his expression suddenly became very exciting. He saw a huge map spread on the ground, and Li Shimin was squatting on the map with his bare feet, looking at something attentively.
"Come here." Li Shimin waved, and Li Mu raised his foot and was about to step on it when he suddenly hesitated and took off his boots.
"Look at this map. Qingque drew it the day before yesterday and gave it to me. How about it?"
"Hmm..." Li Mu glanced at this huge map. To be honest, since he had seen more accurate and error-free maps drawn by computers in his previous life, looking at this hand-drawn map with messy scales was really a bit uncomfortable.
It's hard to describe, but judging from Li Shimin's stern expression, this map should be very good in this era.
Li Mu nodded heavily and said: "Your Majesty, this picture is the only one I have seen in my life, and it makes me amazed."
"I was also shocked. I really didn't expect Qingque to have such a talent." Li Shimin proudly praised his son, and then said: "But I didn't come to you today just to flatter Qingque. You
Look here." Li Shimin clicked on the picture and said, "If I put the Tuli tribe here, what do you think?"
The map in front of him didn't match the map in Li Mu's memory. Li Mu thought to himself, how can I understand this? But he didn't want to show ignorance, so he took a peek at Li Shimin's expression and said,
He said vaguely: "It should be possible."
Li Shimin thought Li Mu understood and said, "I think so too, but Li Mu, do you know why I arranged it like this?"
Why do you always ask such strange questions!
Li Mu was slandering in his heart, but on the surface he was serious and talking nonsense, saying: "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is arbitrary, how dare I make random speculations?"
"What kind of arbitrary decision by the Sacred Heart?" Li Shimin stood up, straightened his waist and said: "This is not my plan, it is all Keming's legacy. It's just that Keming had calculated everything and failed to calculate the sudden advantage of being only twenty-nine years old.
It is really hateful that this person died, and my plan in the north was almost completely overturned by him!"
It turned out to be Du Ruhui's plan, and it turned out to be the shadow of a famous tree. It's not simple!
Li Mu looked at the map carefully, trying to understand the content on the map, but he couldn't understand it, so he had to give up.
Li Shimin summoned Li Mu because he seemed to be looking for someone to talk to. Before Li Mu asked, he started talking to himself.
"We will arrive tomorrow morning. After the Eastern Turks are destroyed, the Western Turks will lose control and will inevitably take action. Therefore, we have made a plan early. Do you know what the plan is?"
Li Mu: "..."
What kind of question is this? I'm not Du Ruhui. I didn't see it when he wrote the memorial. This question is so retarded!
"Keming's strategy is to use all his tribes to fill up the empty land, move the Turkic descendants to the area from Youzhou to Lingzhou, divide the Tuli territory into four prefectures, set up Shun, You, Hua and Chang governor's offices, and then divide them into four prefectures.
For the six states, let the tribes that were originally oppressed by Jieli come over. This will not only reduce the hidden dangers, but also guard against Xue Yantuo, who is becoming more and more powerful in the north."
"Once a war breaks out, it can also be used as a buffer to give Datang room to prepare. This plan is a great good, and only Ke Ming can come up with it!"
