Every woman of Li Mu occupied an indispensable position by his side.

Bai Qiaoqiao is deeply in love with him and has a close relationship with him. The couple walked through the journey from ignorant to support each other.

Li Zhien is cute and cute, extremely intelligent. When she is by her side, Li Mu always feels happy.

The feeling that Wang Ou gave him was relatively special. It not only allowed him to feel the intellectual side of the lady, but also made him feel an inexplicable illusion similar to "maternal love". Although Li Mu did not want to admit it, the real attraction was this strange "maternal love". Especially after he knew that Sun was not "his" mother, he subconsciously wanted to find someone to fill this sense of tolerance.

As for Zhang Tianai...

Li Mu himself couldn't explain what it felt. He didn't believe it very much if he had a deep relationship with Zhang Tianai. But after learning that she was about to get married, he was inexplicably unhappy and wanted to destroy it!

Li Mu thought secretly that maybe it was a mentality of "occupying the pit and not stooling" that was at work? Anyway, he just didn't want to give it to others, and he had an inexplicable possessive desire. The hypocritical person comforted himself like this: she also wanted to stay by my side, and I actually fulfilled her wish.

He slept for a nap with Wang Ou's fragrant body. After waking up, he had lunch together. Then, Wang Ou changed his clothes and watched him leave in a carriage. Wang Ou was already very satisfied to be together for half a day. After all, she knew that Li Mu was not an idle person and had many things waiting for him to do.

Wang Ou also got on the carriage. She was going to Jingdongji to take care of the business. Suddenly she remembered something, lifted the curtain open, and ordered the maid: "Mr. Lang did not bring a guard when he went out today, so he arranged a few secret guards to follow him. If someone is wrong, he will kill him."

"As for orders, saint."

The sound of ruts gradually drifted away, and the maid made a few gestures, and several inconspicuous people nearby were trapped in the crowd.

...

Li Mu was not in a hurry to enter the palace. Although he had decided to do this, he had not yet thought about how to start. Instead of taking rashly and doing bad things with kindness, it would be better to think carefully and take action again.

He came to the Ministry of Works.

The letter that Dugu Jiu sent in the morning was to ask Cheng Qian to come forward and help him convene the merchants who came to congratulate the new yamen of the Ministry of Industry when the completion of the construction. People said that they are all acquaintances. In places like Chang'an City, big merchants cannot stand without a background. If you look closely, behind them are either a lord or a clan. Ordinary people are at most just a shop.

On that day, the Ministry of Works moved to the yamen and many merchants came to congratulate him. Although the gift was not much, Li Mu was also happy with this intention. He made a promise on the spot that there would be rewards in the future. However, two months have passed since the incident, and everyone thought that Li Mu had forgotten about this matter. Unexpectedly, he suddenly received the news, and Li Mu was anxious to come to the Ministry of Works to discuss matters.

Everyone knew that this was the Marquis who wanted to fulfill his promise. If not, why did they come to the Ministry of Works to discuss matters? They knew that Li Mu liked to hold banquets in heaven and earth, and by the way.

The time set by Li Mu in the letter was in the morning, and most of these merchants came at noon. They were afraid that they had missed something, so many people didn't eat, so it was easy to deal with it. The Ministry of Works has a large canteen, not far from the conference room. Although there was no exquisite food, there was no problem with eating.

The matter is urgent. These big merchants who eat fine stews and fine stews on weekdays are sitting on wooden benches and wooden tables like ordinary craftsmen, eating soup cakes and noodles that only the "lowest people" eat.

Wait and wait, finally, the sun went west and it was almost time to come. The followers who sent to Fangmen Wangfeng finally came to report that the carriage from the Marquis's mansion had come here.

The merchants did not dare to be negligent, so they all stood up to greet them. Li Mu got off the carriage and saw that there were all people in front of him. He was shocked. Seeing Cheng Qian in the crowd, he frowned and asked, "I asked you to call the merchants who gave gifts that day. What's the matter with you calling so many? You haven't given me a gift. You are an outsider with me. How can I give so many benefits to outsiders?"

When everyone heard this, the Marquis said something, and those who don’t give gifts are outsiders. Isn’t it like saying, “Everyone will give me a gift quickly?”

Cheng Qian didn't dare to provoke Li Mu, the God of Wealth, and said with a smile: "Mr. Marquis, you are wrongly blamed the young man. The young man sent someone to inform him according to the list of personnel at that time. There were more people. I guess he admired the Marquis and wanted to listen to the teachings."

Li Mu snorted and said, "Anyway, I have a list in my hand. Those who are not on the list will not be able to take advantage of it."

After saying that, people walked to the Ministry of Works, and the merchants gave way out and followed him. From time to time, some people whispered, not listening intently, as if asking how to give gifts. But who would explain at this moment? The benefits are at present. Even my own father can't let him go, let alone everyone is still walking with him?

When he arrived at the conference room of the Ministry of Works, Li Mu sat in the main seat. The merchants also hurriedly found a seat to sit down. Li Mu saw clearly that everyone was the main and secondary seat. The closer they were to him, the harder the backstage. As for Cheng Qian, although he was not a stubborn person in the background, because he was in trouble, he also got a position next to Li Mu's left hand.

Li Mu knocked on the table, but the sound of the discussion came to an abrupt end.

"You are all great merchants in Chang'an City. You are busy with noble people. I don't waste everyone's time. I still remember that when the Ministry of Works moved to the yamen, you gathered up to congratulate me. I promised you that there will be rewards in the future. But these days, I am really busy and delayed these things. If you have time today, I will call you here - it won't delay everyone's affairs, right?"

Everyone hurriedly said, "The Marquis has to let go of everything. They have to come to the meeting even if they are in trouble."

"It's so extreme, the Marquis has a great reputation. I'll wait for the news to wait here one hour in advance."

Li Mu smiled and continued, "Then let's not talk nonsense, just say it straight to the point. Maybe everyone has learned the news that this marquis was wrongly loved by His Majesty and was appointed as the newly appointed Minister of the Office of the Internal Affairs?"

"I know, congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis!"

"There is no need to say anything about congratulations. I am very lazy. Your Majesty's wrong love is like a burden for me. There is nothing worth congratulating, and I plan my politics in his position. Since I have become the general minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will naturally take responsibility for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"You also know that the Office of the Internal Affairs set up to fill the treasury. The first priority is to make money!"

When everyone heard this, they were very nervous. Zhulu Hou invited everyone to come. Could it be that the Hongmen Banquet was held? His Majesty asked him for money, and he asked us for money? Is this still possible?

But when I think about it again, it is unlikely. It is said that there are benefits to everyone, so it cannot be a scam.

The merchants were looking at each other, and they didn't want to be such a bird that stood out.

Li Mu took everyone's expressions, smiled, and said, "Your thoughts are all in my heart. Don't worry, if you say there are benefits to you, that is, there are benefits. I, Li Mu, have always helped people make money, which is well-known."

Everyone agreed, but thought to themselves, wasn’t your name as Zhulu Hou cheating people? There are indeed many things to make money, but you have done a lot of things to cheat people.

"You all come from all walks of life and have their own business. Now the Tang Dynasty is in its rest and recuperation. It is not an exaggeration to call it a business decay. It is not easy to trade, right?"

Everyone said yes, and a hint of hope surged in their hearts. Is there a solution to Zhulu Hou saying this?

After almost laying the foundation, Li Mu finally expressed his purpose: "I want to represent the Office of the Internal Affairs to do business with you. Are you willing?"

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what medicine was selling in Li Mu's gourd, and no one dared to respond. At this time, Li Mu winked at Cheng Qian without any investigation. Cheng Qian understood and according to what Li Mu wrote in his letter, he spoke at the right time: "Mr. Marquis, I have something to say."

"explain."

"The Marquis said that they were doing business together, which is a good thing. It's just that when I was in business, I knew the details of my business. It's not that our business is just for others. If we lose money, we can't afford it. Therefore, we have to ask a few more questions. I don't know what business the Marquis wants to do, what is the way to do this? I'd like to ask the Marquis to solve the problem, otherwise everyone is afraid of it-"

Cheng Qian laughed dryly, his meaning was self-evident.

Everyone finally waited for a successful bird and nodded. Although Cheng Qian's words were simple, they expressed their thoughts bluntly. In short, if there is no profit and future business, everyone might as well keep their own land, at least they are exempt from risks.

As if he was afraid that Li Mu would get angry, Cheng Qian hurriedly added another sentence and said, "Mr. Marquis, don't be angry, the young one is helpless, so--"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't be trembling. Since it's business, everyone is equal. There is nothing wrong with doing business." As he said that, Li Mu reached out and pointed to a person sitting in the corner. This person was Feng Si.

Seeing Li Mu pointing at him, Feng Si quickly stood up. The two of them had been angry a long time ago.

"This man is Feng Si. When the Tang Daily was first founded, Benhou met this person when he went to buy paper in the West City. When he was chatting, he found that this person was quite good at papermaking and had a dream to run a papermaking workshop. Benhou was a talent-loving person, so he invested in helping him buy a papermaking workshop. Not only did he pay off his money quickly, he also made the papermaking workshop bigger in a short time. Now all the papers in the Tang Daily come from his workshop. Now he has made a lot of money."
