As the sun set, Li Mu climbed up the ladder and climbed to the roof of the main house. Looking up, he could see Luoshui. There were several small boats floating on the water. He didn't know whether they were transporting goods or fishing. He was not in a hurry.
Looks like you are enjoying yourself.
Dugu Jiu also flew up and sat next to Li Mu. The yard was full of day laborers hired by Li Mu's dentists, all of whom were cleaning. Some people were lighting oil lamps, but it was getting dark soon, and they couldn't work without lighting lamps.
Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen have already gone back. They were in such a hurry today that they didn't even have a bed or cover. Others could deal with it, but Bai Qiaoqiao, a pregnant woman, couldn't handle it.
"Brother, the plaque on the gate has been replaced."
"Okay," Li Mu responded, as if he was a little stunned by the scenery and had no words. Dugujiu saw that he was silent and didn't speak, and sat quietly with him.
"Jiu'er, the original government officials in Luoyang City were all subordinates of the good-for-nothing county magistrate. I dealt with that guy, and these government officials didn't dare to show up again. It just so happened that I didn't need them. From now on, the Jinyi Guards will
He is a government official from Luoyang City, remember to make arrangements and start patrolling the city tomorrow."
"I won't go." Dugujiu refused without thinking. Li Mu looked at him and said, "What, rebellion? You don't recognize me as your eldest brother?"
"Brother, this is my sister-in-law's business." Dugujiu said seriously: "We each take charge of our own business, and my sister-in-law is very good at being the commander."
"Oh," Li Mu remembered it, nodded, and said, "That's what happened. It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I would have to listen to her talk again."
Dugujiu hesitated for a moment and glanced down at the yard. He seemed to have judged the people working there. He couldn't see him when he raised his head and took off his mask. Li Mu quickly turned his head back. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, Dugujiu's
The profile of his face seemed to be illuminated by a fill light, making him look even more handsome. Li Mu considered himself a man with normal orientation and did not want to develop any strange hobbies.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
"Speak."
"I think the secret guards should be independent in the future." After a pause, Dugujiu said again: "Just like Dongchang and Xichang."
Li Mu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Why did you suddenly say that? What did your sister-in-law say to you?"
Dugujiu quickly shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law didn't say anything to me, I just thought so. Most of the things the secret guards do cannot be seen in person, and it would be inconvenient to go in and out together." Afraid that Li Mu wouldn't believe it, he added:
"Moreover, there have been a lot of desperadoes added to the secret guards recently. These people have perverse and weird personalities, and their attacks are not serious. The soldiers in the Jinyi Guards also have hot tempers. If they stay together, sooner or later something will happen."
"If that's the case..." Li Mu nodded and said, "Then give the county government to the Jinyi guards, secret guards..." Li Mu took out the map of Luoyang City from his arms, unfolded it for Dugujiu to see, and said, "You
Just pick a place and I'll give it to you." He spoke as if Luoyang City was his back garden, without even considering that Dugu Jiu might choose someone else's mansion.
This map was drawn by Li Mulai on his way here. It can be clearly seen from the map that if Luoyang City is compared to the word "field", the upper right corner of "field" is the North City where they are now, and the lower right corner is,
It is the Nancheng. The upper left corner is the Imperial City. The lower left corner is called the "Xicheng" in Luoyang. In addition to the Imperial City, there is a market in the Nancheng and the North City. There is also a small market in the Xicheng, but the scale is larger.
Much smaller. And according to the information Jin Yiwei received, many of the things traded in this West Market are 'irregular'. Therefore, this 'West Market' is also called the 'black market', which is almost a black market in Luoyang City.
It's an open secret.
Dugujiu took the map and looked at it for a while, then said: "My eldest brother is in Beicheng, the county government is in Nancheng, I will be in Xicheng. This 'black market' is a bit unstable, so I will open the government office next to the West City. What do you think?"
?”
"Whatever you think is good." Li Mu put away the map and said, "Tomorrow you take the money to choose a place. If they sell it, we will give you the money to sign a contract. If they don't sell it, we will just smash the door.
."
"Is this good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Li Mu said, "Luoyang City belongs to me, and you are my brother. Except for my wife and children, what's mine is yours. You can go wherever you like, and no one can stop you."
Dugujiu pursed his lips and smiled, his cheeks a little blushing.
"By the way, what are you going to name yourself when you separate?"
"I haven't thought about it." Dugujiu shook his head and said, "Otherwise I won't be named. Anyway, I don't want to be in public, so everyone knows what I am doing."
"It's okay, it has a sense of mystery." Li Mu smiled and didn't say much. These were all insignificant matters. The two brothers were stunned for a while, and Li Mu asked again: "Do the ruffians in Luoyang City have any rules?"
Dugujiu shook his head and said: "I don't see any rules." He looked at Li Mu and said: "Brother, interrupt and set rules for them? You don't need to worry about such a trivial matter. Tomorrow I will find a few people to imitate the four in Chang'an City.
Liang Bazhu, just set the rules."
"No." Li Mu waved his hand and said: "The situation in Luoyang City is different from that of Chang'an City. Chang'an is the capital of the country, and that is His Majesty's city. There are four beams and eight pillars, each with its own performance, just like a small court, all of which have their own performances.
The agent who has the final say. Luoyang is mine, and there can only be one voice." He looked into Dugujiu's eyes and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't quite understand."
"Let your people take action in three days," Li Mu made a 'three' sign and said: "After three days, those who cannot be subdued will be thrown into Luoshui to feed the fish. Do it cleanly and don't leave any clues to others.
"
"That would require killing a lot of people."
Li Mu laughed sarcastically and said: "Don't be soft-hearted, just kill them. No one will be wronged."
"That's true," Dugujiu came to Luoyang earlier than Li Mu. He already knew the people Li Mu mentioned. Just like Li Mu said, these people all have problems, ranging from strong generals to civilian women to serious ones.
They were carrying several lives on their backs, so throwing them into Luoshui to feed the fish was not unfair at all.
He stared blankly at Li Mu, who was in deep thought. What was on his mind was not this matter, but what Li Mu had just said.
Chang'an City belongs to Your Majesty, and Luoyang City belongs to me.
What is the big brother thinking?
As if feeling Dugujiu's gaze, Li Mu looked over and said, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay." Dugujiu stood up, put on his mask, and said, "I have to make arrangements, let's go."
"Let's go,"
Dugujiu jumped off the roof, and Li Mu suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Who is that, Ergou's brother Sangou? I remembered that I promised him something. I promised him that when he wanted to build a prison, let him
He came here to be the cell leader. This kid is quite capable. You send a pigeon back and tell Ergou to ask his brother to come over."
"I know." Dugujiu responded, but he was already far away.
Li Mu shook his head helplessly and lay down on the tiles. The sky gradually darkened and stars dotted the sky. It was almost fifteen, and the moonlight was very bright, saving a lot of candles. The boat on the Luoshui River had not yet gone out of sight, but he also turned on the light.
, it seems that the anchor has dropped.
"The shipyard is built in..." Li Mu looked at the map by moonlight, looking far into the distance, corresponding to the location. Finally, his eyes settled on a bay: "It's right here, where Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty parked his dragon ship. It should be
It’s deep enough.”
"It's cold at night, come down here."
Zhang Tianai's voice came over, and Li Mu lowered his head to see that she didn't know when she arrived, glaring at him righteously.
"Hey!" Li Mu responded, put the map in his arms again, got up and stretched out: "It's time to go."
…
After a day and night of cleaning, the original 'Tiance Mansion', now the 'Hou Mansion', has been basically cleaned. The moss and dust have been swept away. Although there are still some areas where the paint has fallen off, it is no longer harmful. In the future, slowly
After repairs, it's ready to live in.
Li Mu sent someone to pick up Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen. It happened that the salutes that had arrived from Chang'an City had not yet unloaded the cart, so they hitched their horses and pulled them over.
Li Mu didn't need to worry about arranging things. Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen, plus a group of old ladies hired from Yaren, could take care of it. It had been a few days since he arrived in Chang'an City, and he had to do something
Get down to business.
The plaque of the Hou Mansion has been hung up, so the next step is to prop up the door. There is no one to help, so this is a tricky thing.
Li Mu's current position is a bit strange. He is a marquis, but in fact, he has authority beyond the duke, because he is a Marquis of Che. There was no Marquis of Che in the Tang Dynasty, but he was a Marquis of Che. In ancient times, the Marquis of Che had his own
However, he did not have a feudal country, only a city. So a strange situation arose. He was completely different. According to the ancient etiquette, he did not fit in, and according to the current rules, he did not fit in. Not only were outsiders confused, but he himself also felt that
Confused.
Li Mu originally thought that Li Shimin's title of Chehou was directly related to his becoming Li Jiancheng's heir. Moreover, at the coronation ceremony, his crown uniform exceeded the standard and was similar to that of a prince, so he thought that Li Shimin could not let him
He followed the prince's rules. That is, he opened a mansion and set up a chief official in the mansion, just like Li Tai, Li You and others.
But yesterday, he felt something was wrong again. Li Shimin specially wiped the plaque of Tiance Mansion. Could it be a hint that he was allowed to open the mansion according to the rules of Tiance Mansion?
This requires careful study and study. You must know that there are rules for how to open this 'mansion'. Different 'opening' methods are very different.
The so-called opening a government office, that is, a shogunate, specifically refers to the act of establishing a government office and selecting staff to help one with the emperor's permission. The formation of this rule can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Not everyone is qualified to open a government office.
In the Han Dynasty, only three princes and generals were qualified to open a mansion. I don't know if it was a coincidence or if Li Shimin did it deliberately. The lowest qualification for opening a mansion in the Han Dynasty was the person's title, which must be at least the Marquis of Che.
From the end of the Han Dynasty, the opening of a mansion was strictly controlled. It was not until the end of the Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and the etiquette system collapsed, that the qualifications for opening a mansion were relaxed. Those with the title of governor of the Jin states and in charge of military affairs could open a mansion.
, and in the Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the military government era, the conditions were further relaxed. At that time, the government army system had just been implemented. There were a total of twenty-four armies in the world. Each army had a general who opened the government, also known as the general who was qualified to open the government.
They will all be granted the title of General of Hussars, and they will be given the title of "General of the Hussars".
In fact, by the Sui Dynasty, the title of "Kai Fu Yi Tong San Si" had become a kind of reputation without any substance. But this kind of
