It was another dusk when we came out of the Ministry of Works. After dealing with the matter of "copying craftsmen", there was nothing too important for the Ministry of Works. There were three provinces and six ministries, and only the Ministry of Works had not yet gone on holiday.
The construction schedule is tight, and except for the Chinese New Year days, it is a bit difficult to take a vacation.
But fortunately, people's hearts can be used, and Li Mu doesn't know why. So far, he has not seen anyone who wants to take a vacation. Both Yu Wengui and Gongsun Kang are working hard to keep going. Yu Wengui is busy training recently.
'The craftsmen who are about to leave Chang'an after the year and rush to build roads in various places, but Gongsun Kang is even more unwilling to be outdone. He is busy repairing the lanes in Chang'an City while managing the construction of the valley. At the same time, he is also preparing for the construction of the Dongcheng Arsenal. One person can do three jobs
Li Mu is very convinced of this fact.
If Li Mu is asked to work like this, he will definitely not do it. After finally traveling through time, he can't just work and live. He doesn't really want to be a saint. Although he has a heart to make Datang better and stronger as much as possible, as a
As a time traveler, he clearly knew that even without him, the Tang Dynasty would still be invincible in the world at this time. This confirms the law that everyone is trash. No matter how awesome a person is, he or she is still invincible.
You, the world is still going around, so don’t take yourself too seriously. You have to work, but don’t do it to death. It’s pointless.
In the carriage, Li Mu was lying on the bed, squinting at Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu who were restless across from each other, and suddenly said: "Why are you two so nervous? It's not like you haven't been home before."
Although the craftsmen did not take a break years ago, as Li Mu's secretary, Wei Yingluo had nothing to do, so Li Mu gave her a holiday. Wei Yingluo wanted to go home, and happened to be on the way, so Li Mu gave them a ride.
"I..." Wei Yingluo heard Li Mu's words and said nothing. She pinched her purse with both hands, as if she had something on her mind and became even more nervous.
Li Mu noticed it, raised his eyelids, and asked: "Take all the money you earned back with you? Even the pearl's share?"
"No." Pearl said quickly: "Miss, I don't want my money, I still have it with me..." She took out her purse and said, "I also want to give it to Madam."
Li Mu frowned and said: "Are you two stupid? You earned the money yourself. Why do you want to give it back to that old guy Wei Zheng? You two were kicked out of the house. If you don't save some dowry money, you will be in trouble in the future.
Don’t you want to be angry with your husband’s family?”
After all, he is her father. Wei Yingluo felt very uncomfortable when she heard Li Mu say that Wei Zheng was an old guy. But she knew what Wei Zheng had done to Li Mu and did not dare to refute. She only dared to mutter in a low voice: "He is me after all."
Daddy, I should be filial to him, but I don’t know if dad will let me in. I am an unfilial daughter."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he was about to shed tears.
Li Mu couldn't stand this, and said angrily: "Why should he spend your money! Xiaoying, we have to be more sensible. Your father is not a disabled person, nor is he an ordinary person. He is a third-grade imperial censor. Every year
The salary given to him by the court is more than enough to support a hundred people. He has no money for food and medical treatment, so he has to find it himself, understand? He himself thinks that he is the savior, and all his relatives, six hometowns, and distant neighbors will look for him.
Giving money seems very generous, but do you think, what is the most important thing about a man? It is not how talented he is, or how many people he has helped. The most important thing about him is, no, the most important thing is that he can support his wife, children and children. The most important thing to me is
What annoys your father is that outside he is a moral saint, but at home he is sorry for his wife, children, and children. Your mother is not young anymore. I heard that she still weaves to support the family. Haha, if I were your mother, I would have followed you a long time ago
Dad and I are divorced."
Facing Li Mu's contemptuous look, Wei Yingluo couldn't say a word. His words hit Wei Zheng's "vital points" every time, and they couldn't be more accurate. Wei Zheng is such a person, to put it mildly,
Having a heart for the world doesn't sound right, but it's just a slap in the face. Before Li Mu traveled through time, he read an article. This is actually a mental illness that can be cured. However, under the distorted psychology of some 'moral sages', it is often regarded as a mental illness.
A model that is really laughable.
Seeing that Wei Yingluo was silent, Li Mu said nothing more. After all, they are father and daughter, and he is just an outsider. After thinking about it, Li Mu added: "Although your father is ugly, emotionless and has bad breath, look at
It turns out that he still cares about you, and if it doesn’t matter, he will definitely not deny you entry into the house.”
Wei Yingluo nodded, glanced at Li Mu's face, pursed her lips and said, "Master Hou, Yingluo wants to ask you something."
"Um?"
"Can you please stop mocking my father?" Seeing Li Mu frowning, Wei Yingluo quickly added: "I, I don't mean to restrict you, it's just that he is my father after all. I am his daughter,
I always hear you mocking him, which makes me feel sad."
"..." Li Mu was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'll control it from now on."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Li Mu nodded slightly, and the atmosphere became awkwardly quiet again. Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu were still worried about whether they would receive a cold face when they returned home. The hands holding their purses were so nervous that their knuckles turned white. They probably had a little secret in their hearts.
I hope that if I can get my money back, I might be able to look better.
Seeing their appearance, Li Mu suddenly remembered a lot of things from his past life. When he was in college, he had a very brief love that he missed many times. The girl was very good, with appearance, height, education, motivation, etc.
They are all the best choices, but there is only one problem, there is something wrong in her heart.
She came from a combined family, her parents divorced, and she was given to her father. His father married a second-married woman and raised a son.
From a very young age, she refused to welcome people to see her. The more she refused to welcome people to see her, the more she longed for care. Later, she discovered that neither her academic performance nor her excellence in other aspects could earn her any praise in front of her father and stepmother.
When she helps her younger brother, pleases her younger brother, or buys things for her younger brother, she will be praised as "this kid is sensible."
When Li Mu fell in love with her, the most common question she asked was whether she could make money to buy a house for her brother if they got married in the future.
Li Mu's idea at the time was, I'm an orphan, and I don't even know where to buy my house. If you ask me to buy a house for your younger brother, am I not my biological brother?
But in order to maintain the relationship at that time, Li Mu always nodded and agreed. As for the man, his nickname was Lie. Moreover, everyone was college students at that time, and buying a house and getting married were still far away.
They got along for half a year, and everything was going well. Then one time, Li Mu met her younger brother. He was a arrogant fat man who didn't appreciate the money his sister had saved from doing part-time jobs. She couldn't help it, so she gave him a '
Haoyougen'.
Then they broke up.
Because the reason for the breakup was not the fault of the other party, Li Mu often missed this relationship and secretly paid attention to others. She kept paying attention until she married a rich second generation, and then looked at this rich second generation and bought something for her brother.
After buying a house, buying a car, and arranging everything for her father, biological mother, and stepmother, he stopped paying attention.
In fact, it's not that the girl is bad, nor does she want too much. Moreover, the poor boy can't afford it, so he doesn't deserve it.
"well……"
But it's pretty good now. Li Mu closed his eyes and looked at the balance displayed in the system. Not to mention how much gold and silver he had in his warehouse, there were tens of thousands of taels of gold just exchanged into the system.
And in Chang'an, which is the capital, he also owns hundreds of properties. He has factories in the east and west cities, is in charge of the Ministry of Construction, has a beautiful wife and concubine at home, and has an outhouse outside, with a royal sister on top and a lolita on the bottom.
Waiting for life, hahahaha...
"Brother, we've arrived."
The carriage stopped suddenly and Dugujiu's voice came in.
Li Mu opened his eyes and said, "Go and see you on the eighth day of the lunar month."
Wei Yingluo and Zhu Zhen got off the carriage, bowed, and turned to knock on the door. Li Mu opened the curtain, watched the concierge open the door, and welcomed the two girls in, and then signaled to Dugu Jiu to turn around and leave.
The New Year is getting closer and closer, and it’s time to buy some gifts and travel around. The first New Year in the Tang Dynasty is here.
…
As the three provinces and six ministries went on holiday, the imperial city seemed a lot deserted. There were only a few people on duty at each yamen gate, and it was quite deserted. Everyone was thinking about the New Year, and their minds were not on work.
Honglu Temple is relatively lively, because no matter whether it is Chinese New Year or not, these foreign envoys have to be fed. The people still squatting in Honglu Temple at this time are all envoys from the "small country", such as South Vietnam, really
La, the Japanese country is like this. They want to see the emperor but can't see them, and they can't bear to leave.
The Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty, Inugami Mita, came to Honglu Temple again today. Just like yesterday, there was still no official in charge. The head of Honglu Temple, who was on duty, saw that it was the Japanese envoy and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He only said one sentence.
We will discuss it again after the New Year, and then go and have tea on my own.
Inugami Mita Shu could only sigh and cry out for help. A weak country has no diplomacy, and the Japanese country is no smaller than Gaochang. Why can't it still enter the eyes of the higher country?
When he came out of Honglu Temple and was about to go back, a small bald head suddenly appeared in front of him. Inugami Mita was startled, and he quickly took two steps to cover the small bald head with his clothes, and said angrily: "Ikkyu, why don't you recite it properly at Ci'en Temple?"
Jing, why did you come to Honglu Temple? Is this where you came? Who can take care of you if something happens?"
"Your Excellency, Ambassador, haven't you seen the person in charge today?"
"Alas..." Inugami Mita Shu sighed and said: "It's not that easy. It's the twelfth lunar month now, and it will be the first lunar month soon. All the offices in the upper country are on holiday. Our Japanese country is a small country. It's... catching up again.
Who will pay attention to us during the holidays?"
"Hmm"
"This is not something you should worry about." Inugami Mita Shu touched Ikkyu's bald head and said: "Let's go back to Ci'en Temple. It seems that we won't be able to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty before the New Year. After the New Year,
Let’s think of another solution.”
The young monk followed Inugami Mita Shu and got into the carriage with him. Although the Japanese envoy was poor and shabby, he was an envoy of a country after all and he still brought some money. As an ambassador, Inugami Mita Shu bought a carriage.
But there is only one.
Yixiu pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, I have met Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu in the Tang Dynasty. My master said that he was the wisest man in the Tang Dynasty and one of the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty.
If we ask for his help, can we see the Emperor of Tang Dynasty?"
"What?!" Inugami Mita's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. He grabbed Ikkyu's shoulders and asked: "Is this true? Have you really met Zhulu Hou Li Mu? Your master Hui
Have you seen him before? Why hasn’t he mentioned it to me?”
Yixiu blinked his eyes and said: "Master said that Zhuluhou has an unpredictable temper and may not necessarily help. Master also said that he felt that Zhuluhou was prejudiced against the Japanese people, and told me not to go to him, let alone provoke him.
"
"Prejudice?" Inugami Mita Shu frowned and said, "What kind of prejudice? Could it be that some Japanese people offended him?" After thinking for a moment, he shook his head again and said, "It's unlikely. Chang'an City is already here.
There aren’t many Japanese people, and even if there are, we can’t see his face, so why would he be prejudiced against us?”
Puzzled, Inugami Mita was reluctant to give up this opportunity and cheered himself up, saying: "Ikkyu, your news is very timely. I decided to give it a try. You go with me, don't tell your master yet.
He is old and timid, maybe if we go to see Zhulu Hou this time, we can get things done."
"Yes!" Ikkyu nodded heavily, Inugami Mita Shu took a deep breath, gave instructions to the groom, turned the car around, and went straight to Jingdongji. After many days in Chang'an, Inugami Mita Shu had already found out where the residences of the important ministers were.
, but I was short of money and never dared to visit.
Not long after they left, a dark-skinned young man came out of Honglu Temple with a cloth bag in his arms and an old servant. Judging from his expression, he also had a sad face. The two walked far away from Honglu Temple and hired an ox cart.
The destination is also JD.com.
These two people came from the Zhenla Kingdom. The dark-skinned young man was the prince of Zhenla. The old servant next to him was not a real servant, but one of the five ministers of the Zhenla Kingdom, Beard Duolou. His official position was similar to that of the Minister of the Tang Dynasty.
The two of them came over mountains and rivers just to meet Li Shimin. The large group of people was still on the way, and the two of them came over by water in light clothes. The purpose was to meet Li Shimin early and study some "important things."
However, Honglu Temple refused to report the matter on the grounds that the mission had not yet arrived. It had to wait for the arrival of a large group of the Chenla mission before it was willing to arrange an interview.
But they couldn't wait any longer. After seeing the scene of the Gaochang mission a few days ago, Prince Zhenla discussed with Yan Duolou that the Crown Prince of Gaochang had made a connection through Zhuluhou Li Mu and took advantage of the relationship between the uncle Changsun Wuji and finally reached an agreement.
They wanted to follow suit, but there was no stepping stone.
After all, Chenla's national power is not as good as that of Gaochang. It uses money to open roads, but there is not that much money. There are elephants, but they are still on the road. Calculating the days, it will be good to reach Chang'an in two months.
