"I have brought a handwritten letter from His Majesty -" After complimenting each other, Changsun Wuji took out a letter from his sleeve as if he had just remembered it. When Li Mu saw this, he stood up to 'accept the order', but instead
Changsun Wuji stopped him: "Your Majesty said, it's just a letter from home, no need to be formal."
"Then I will thank your Majesty." Li Mu cupped his hand in the direction of Chang'an and took the envelope from Changsun Wuji. The letter was painted with wax, and it obviously contained content that could not be seen by a third person. Changsun Wuji
Naturally, he understood the logic behind this and turned around. Li Mu opened the letter, scanned it quickly, then put the letter back into his sleeve and said to Changsun Wuji: "Please tell your Majesty, I understand your Majesty's intentions.
Will choose the opportunity to act."
"Know your intention and act at the right time." Changsun Wuji repeated it, smiled, and said, "I'll remember it, and I'll convey it exactly as it was said." After saying this, Changsun Wuji took out another cargo list,
This inventory is a list of grain purchases from various rice shops in Chang'an using the 10,000 gu of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as a detailed list of grain stocks donated by major mansions in Chang'an, such as the Changsun family, the Dugu family, the Cheng family, etc.
A bill of goods was issued and delivered to Li Mu.
The most lacking thing in Luoyang now is food. Although the food Changsun Wuji brought from Chang'an is not much, it is enough for the people of Luoyang City to eat porridge until the autumn harvest. After all, it is only ten days. Li Mu saw the goods list.
Finally, he showed a sincere smile, put it into his sleeves with a smile, and the longevity minister Shima Zhou arranged the banquet.
Li Mu naturally doesn't care about reputation, but Changsun Wuji has no choice but to care. Now that the people outside are suffering, if he eats the Jiefeng Banquet, his reputation will be passed down for a lifetime. And he also has to be on guard against Li Mu. Who knows what he arranged for Jiefeng?
Whether the banquet is the Hongmen Banquet or not, if it is a trap set by him to lure him into eating the banquet, spread it widely tomorrow, and even impeach him through a memorial, although it cannot do anything to him, it is still better to do less than to do more.
Changsun Wuji spoke righteously and insisted on refusing. Li Mu invited him again and again, but he refused and even ended up not living in the Hou Mansion. He said that he had a mansion in Luoyang and it would be more convenient to live back home. Little did he know that Li Mu didn't even think about it.
In charge of the meal, he said this, just in line with Li Mu's thoughts. He sent Changsun Wuji out of the door with a look of regret. Li Mu turned around and saw Yuan Tiangang. He cursed in his heart, how could he forget this awesome nose.
"Master Yuan hasn't left yet?"
Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "Master Hou is joking, I don't have a residence in Luoyang. I don't know, I will have to bother you at my residence for two days." Perhaps he was afraid that Li Mu would not agree, so he said first: "I won't bother Master Hou too much, I will
Just live with Chunfeng. We haven't seen each other for a long time and we have a lot to talk about."
Having said this, what else could Li Mu say? He couldn't say that he was a dignified prince, he had to lack a pair of chopsticks. Li Mu nodded reluctantly and said: "Daoist Li is also busy with disaster relief these days. He has to do it at night."
Come back. If you don't find it too shabby, just wait for him at his residence." After that, he ordered Ma Zhou, "Why don't you take Taoist priest Yuan there?"
Yuan Tiangang had gained a good reputation many years ago. Ma Zhou respected Yuan Tiangang very much, but he was not as sinister as Li Mu. After listening to his instructions, he led Yuan Tiangang to Li Chunfeng's residence.
Watching the two of them walk away, the expression on Li Mu's face relaxed. He snapped his fingers, and a royal guard came over and asked, "Master Marquis, what are your orders?"
"Prepare the car and leave the city."
…
White Horse Temple.
At the end of the moon, a fire rose next to the stone pavilion. When the fire was raging, Li Siwen asked someone to take a shovel to remove the fire, dig a hole, and remove a mud ball.
Dugujiu looked at the mud in his hands and frowned, "You can eat it yourself when it's cooked. I won't eat it anyway."
"You won't eat it." Li Siwen curled his lips: "You think I'm rushing to feed you? It's just one chicken. When big brother comes, we won't have enough to share."
Dugujiu was too lazy to argue with him. He pulled out a piece of dried meat from the open bag next to him, put it into his mouth and started chewing it. When Li Siwen saw this, he said, "Doesn't it taste good? I specially brought it to my eldest brother as a toothpaste."
"Where did you get it?"
"Over there in the Western Turks," Li Siwen buried the mud balls and asked someone to move the fire back: "Dried meat is expensive in our Tang Dynasty, but it is worthless over there! I exchanged these for potatoes, two
You only get this much for a bag of potatoes, isn’t it a good deal?”
Dugujiu frowned and said, "Did brother agree to let you sell potatoes to the Turks?"
"Uh..." Li Siwen was a little stunned and muttered in a low voice: "Not really, but it's okay. These potatoes are everywhere in Dingxiang. You can't hide them even if you want to." Speaking of potatoes,
Li Siwen couldn't help but grin: "Xiaojiu, do you know how high the yield of this thing is? One acre of land is about two thousand kilograms, my God... With this thing, no one will starve to death in the Tang Dynasty."
"I really don't know where the eldest brother got this treasure," Li Siwen clicked his tongue: "Do you think the eldest brother is really the reincarnation of a god as rumored? Otherwise, how can you say this potato? From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a yield.
High grain, what is this if not an immortal seed?"
"Brother said, gods and other things are all made up." Dugujiu chewed the dried meat until soft and swallowed it in his stomach: "How can there be any gods?"
"Oh." Li Siwen didn't believe that Li Mu would lie to his brothers, but Li Siwen still felt a little sorry that he was not a god. If Li Mu was really a god, when he ascended in the daytime, as a brother, maybe
I can take him with me. Li Siwen imagined the benefits of becoming an immortal, and his heart dropped.
"Silly," Dugujiu was too lazy to look at him. He jumped up and jumped to the top of the stone pavilion. Li Siwen curled his lips and thought to himself, what the hell, my wife can do it too, isn't it just Qinggong? I just don't like it.
Just learn.
"Siwen!" Li Mu's voice came. Li Siwen looked over and jumped happily: "Brother, why are you so late? I thought you wouldn't be able to come today."
"Changsun Wuji and Yuan Tiangang are here." Li Mu took it.
"Brother said, gods and other things are all made up." Dugujiu chewed the dried meat until soft and swallowed it in his stomach: "How can there be any gods?"
"Oh." Li Siwen didn't believe that Li Mu would lie to his brothers, but he

"Siwen!" Li Mu's voice came. Li Siwen looked over and jumped happily: "Brother, why are you so late? I thought you wouldn't be able to come today."
"Changsun Wuji and Yuan Tiangang are here." Li Mu took it.
