Chapter 400 Agreed

To Li Shimin's surprise, when he told Li Mu's suggestion, after a brief hesitation, all four people expressed their agreement. Such unanimous agreement made Li Shimin, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, embarrassed on the spot, and at the same time, he also felt

A question arose, why did the four people agree? Could it be that Li Mu had done something behind his back?

As a king, no matter how much you trust a minister, subconscious doubts cannot be avoided.

Li Shimin remained calm, but secretly paid attention and listened carefully to the reasons of the four Changsun Wuji. After listening, his doubts were relieved. This matter really had nothing to do with Li Mu. The four of them were completely acting from their respective situations.

Decisions are made based on the standpoint.

The reasons given by Changsun Wuji and Wang were similar to what Li Mu said that day. Each of them represented a force, and their cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs resulted in the creation of many workshops, but these workshops are now short of people. Without people, there will be no labor.

Without labor, orders will be completed slowly, and the speed of making money will naturally be slower.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tang Jian was in charge of taxation. The proliferation of workshops directly brought about the prosperity of commercial taxes. Naturally, he wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible, so as to collect more commercial taxes and enter the state treasury. The abundance of labor was the best way to solve this problem.

direct way.

Wei Zheng's attitude was ambiguous, but Li Shimin could guess what he was thinking. Shandong has always been a major grain-producing area, the granary of wealthy families, with mountains of grain hoards. If hundreds of thousands of Turks migrated to the Central Plains to work as workers, they would not be engaged in production.

, if you still want to eat, you will definitely use the money you earn from working to buy food. As more people buy food, the price of food will naturally rise, which is definitely a big plus for the Shandong nobles who store food.

None of these reasons could have been influenced by Li Mu, so the possibility of a series of connections behind Li Mu's back is ruled out.

The important ministers representing each side of the DPRK expressed their opinions, and the matter was basically settled. Li Shimin felt much better. The next step was to find Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, and discuss a candidate to assist Tuli's son.

After the selection was made, the matter was 80% settled. As for the matter of relocating the tribes, Li Ji was in Bingzhou, which was enough to calm the situation, so there was no need to worry too much.

A big stone fell in his heart, and Li Shimin felt a lot more relaxed. He asked someone to bring cakes and tea to entertain the four important ministers. He had just misunderstood Li Mu, and he felt a little guilty. Suddenly he was curious about what Li Mu was doing, so he asked Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao had been accompanying Li Shimin, so how could he know the news? But there was a way. Eunuch Gao glanced at Li Shimin, turned around and went out. After a while, he came back and found that Li Mu's news had been brought back.

Yuan Tiangang arranged a channel for the transmission of news. Every hour, a bad person's messenger would deliver a message to the palace. The note in Eunuch Gao's hand at this time was the one that had just been delivered to the palace and happened an hour ago.

information.

Eunuch Gao presented the note to Li Shimin with both hands. Li Shimin took a look at it and burst into laughter. He passed it to Changsun Wuji and others for circulation, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, your son has fallen into the hands of Li Mu.

, I’m afraid I’m going to suffer a bit.”

Changsun Wuji read the words on the note, handed it to Tang Jian, and said with a wry smile: "This Li Mu can tell a lie in the blink of an eye. Where did he look for me? I don't even know what happened. Pity me.

He forced Chong'er to run twenty miles... That child weighs two hundred kilograms, oh, I don't know how much he suffered!"

Tang Jian looked distressed, but because Li Mu was also his stepson, he gritted his teeth and endorsed him, saying: "He did say that on my side. Alas, Tang Guan is also a little weak, and he needs exercise.

good."

Wang's heart was already in his throat when he heard what they said. He took the note and looked at it. His eyes turned red. He handed it to Wei Zheng and sighed: "My brother Wang Pu, I have no father since he was a child."

"I said something sternly to him, I didn't expect that he is already thirty years old and he is still being tortured like this." He was about to complain a few words, but he was afraid that what he said would be known by Li Mu, so he pursed his lips, and the rest of the words ended without any problem.

Wei Zheng looked at it, but had no reaction. His son didn't sign up, but he was a little worried when he saw half of the eliminations. He took two people there early in the morning, but he didn't know if he would persist.

The note returned to Li Shimin's hand. Li Shimin put it aside casually, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "When I asked about it, Li Mu told me that he was using other people's money to do other people's things. Now I see it.

, as expected. This guy has been really careful since he suffered a loss, and he doesn’t easily make money on his own."

When Changsun Wuji and the other two heard this, they cursed in their hearts at the same time. Your Majesty, are you confused? When has this kid Li Mu ever suffered a loss? When you asked him, of course he said he suffered a loss, but in fact, he did not suffer a loss.

What to do?

Li Shimin didn't seem to notice anything strange about them, and asked himself: "My dear friends, do you think Li Mu's move is good or bad?"

The four of them looked at each other, and it was Changsun Wuji, the uncle of the country, who spoke first, saying: "Your Majesty, Li Mu has always found a new way, which makes it impossible to guess. I don't know anymore, and it must be only when the results come out.

, only then did I know whether it was good or bad.”

Wang quickly nodded and said: "I also mean the same thing. Marquis Zhulu does something so imaginative and unconstrained that it is really unexpected."

Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian and Wei Zheng again. Tang Jian naturally expressed support, while Wei Zheng was noncommittal, as if good or bad had nothing to do with him. This look made Li Shimin very annoying. He glanced at Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Zheng

, I heard that your daughter is now Li Mu’s secretary. You were once my secretary, and your daughter is now Li Mu’s secretary. It’s really interesting.”

Wei Zheng's expression suddenly froze, and after a while, he said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, I don't think it means anything. I have broken off the relationship between father and daughter with my rebellious daughter. Whatever she does, I have nothing to do with you."

It’s related.”

"Really?" Li Shimin smiled brightly and said: "I also plan that if my beloved falls in love with Li Mu, a son-in-law who rides the dragon, I will make a decree to marry him. You must know that Li Mu has four wives and concubines, and I have

It is an imperial edict that your daughter will not be bullied if she marries Li Mu. But judging from Aiqing’s appearance, it seems that she does not need it, but I am just being sentimental."

Wei Zheng didn't know that Li Shimin was joking, but he had no choice but to say nothing, keep a straight face, and pretend not to hear.

Everyone laughed, but didn't say anything excessive. Wei Zheng was a censor, and he was eloquent. Before Li Mu came out, he was a being that no one dared to mess with. Even with Li Mu here, Wei Zheng still had no one.

If you dare to provoke him easily, after all, no one can recruit Li Mu. If you provoke Wei Zheng, no one can resist him.



The tents were distributed according to the standard of four people per tent, the same as the craftsmen working in Xiaoyao Valley. Originally, the students wanted to ask for one tent per person, but the things were enough because there were many tents prepared and the space was large enough.

Li Mu also agreed, but when they actually took action, the students found that they couldn't set up a tent, not to mention one tent per person, but even four people per tent. Setting up a tent was easy to do by watching the Jinyi guards demonstrate.

, even six people could not set up a tent. The final result was that before it got completely dark, only more than 20 tents were set up, and an average of six or seven people slept in one tent. People were really crowded next to each other.

When you hit someone, you don't even have time to turn around.

But this also has an advantage, that is, it is not cold anymore. It is the twelfth lunar month now, and snowflakes are still floating outside the valley. When the cold wind is biting, it is much warmer in the valley, but it is also warm and cold at first. When the wind blows from the mountains at night,

It felt chilly to the core. If there was no tent and people were crowded together to sleep like this, it would be normal to wake up from the cold in the middle of the night.

The craftsmen who had been in the valley before were already very experienced. They dug a big hole in the ground, placed branches and other objects on top of the hole, wrapped it in mud and baked it to dry. In this way, a simple 'Kang' was formed.

Add a fire at night and hold the smoke inside, so it won't be cold all night.

But students don’t know how to do this craft, and it’s something they need to learn slowly.

This was the first night of setting up camp in the valley. Li Mu did not leave, but stayed. Although he wanted to go home and hug his wife to sleep, he himself felt that it was too unhuman to be too much, so he still stayed after being condemned by his conscience.

Come down.

It's late at night and people are not quiet.

For students who can spend one hundred or even two hundred yuan to sign up, the conditions at home are not too bad. Even if Ma Zhou is a hanger-on, his life is several times better than that of ordinary people. Now he is staying overnight in the valley.

For them, it is like encountering a sudden disaster. It takes a lot of heart to be able to sleep.

Li Mu was patrolling between the tents with General Heng Ha. He could clearly hear the voices talking in low voices. Although he couldn't hear clearly, most of them were scolding him. Li Mu also knew it, but he didn't mind.

. Just scold me. People have to be a little confused. As long as they don’t scold them in front of their faces, that’s fine.

After walking around for a while, I was about to go back to the carriage to sleep when I suddenly saw a fat figure by the river. According to the current personnel in the valley, there would be no other person with this size except Changsun Chong.

Li Mu signaled to Dugujiu and Li Chongyi, and came to the river alone. Changsun Chong's vigilance was very low, and Li Mu even walked behind him without him noticing.

"What is this guy doing?"

Li Mu was confused and moved closer. Under the moonlight, he finally saw clearly. It turned out that Chang Sun Chong was cleaning the wound on his inner thigh. Li Mu had never been fat in his two lives. He really couldn't empathize with him, but when he

After seeing Changsun Chong's injury, he felt a little guilty. Maybe twenty miles was indeed too much for him.

"Good disciple..." Li Mu said hello, and was about to tell him that if he really couldn't hold on, he didn't have to run away tomorrow. Before he could say anything, Changsun Chong screamed, his feet slipped, and he didn't even have time to lift his pants.

Go up and plop into the river.

"Save...gu dong dong...life"
