“Hey?”

Wang Gui was stunned. He didn't expect Li Mu to be so direct to them. Li Mu was also a little confused. He didn't expect that he would say what he was in his heart! The two looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment.

"Ah hahaha..." Li Mu smiled dryly and slapped the atmosphere back, saying, "Just kidding, can't the Shizhong be unable to make jokes, right?"

"How can you not make jokes? I am the one who likes to joke the most, hahaha." Wang Gui cursed in his heart, and said with a warm face: "Mr. Marquis, I just heard you say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to hire people. Why didn't you say it earlier? If you want to hire people, why do you need to find those merchants? How can they have much knowledge? If you talk about young talents, who is not a group of families here? Why should you leave the nearest and far away?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It is not to leave the near and seek far, but to give people some motivation. These partners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not short of money. Behind it, you are also controlled by people. Life is a waste of life. I give them some new hope so that they can have more energy and enthusiasm to do things. Isn't it beautiful to have a mere small official to win the hearts of people? And there is another thing that I just forgot to say that most officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have no salary."

"Ah?" Wang Gui was stunned, and the others were stunned. What? There is no salary? Although most officials do not rely on salary to live, they must have salary. It is true that they eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king. If you don't give a salary, you still want someone to serve you?

Li Mu explained with a smile, "Most officials in the Office of the Internal Affairs earn commissions."

Wang Gui couldn't understand and wondered: "What is commission?"

"Simply put, it means how much ability you have and how much money you earn. The less you have, and the more you have tens of thousands of yuan, it depends on your ability. Moreover, the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a recruitment system. He performs well, is in peace, is not good, or gets out of trouble, and gets out of here immediately. After all, I have a bad temper and annoy me. Some bad things may happen. They are all children of Jin Guiren's family, but if something happens, it will be bad."

"..." Wang Gui was speechless. At this moment, he suddenly regretted saying this. What's the point of doing such a condition? He suddenly felt a little pitiful to the merchants on the first floor. He thought he had picked up a big advantage, but in fact it was a big pit.

Just as he was thinking about how to step down, Wei Zheng suddenly spoke.

"From a Shandong background, do the Ministry of Internal Affairs want it?"

Wang Gui was shocked and thought to himself, what's going on? Wei Zheng was going to get involved!

Li Mu treated everyone equally and said, "I came from Shandong and was also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't I want it as long as I am a talented person? I don't want it. If I have enough money, I want it too. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a place where I do business. It is more effective than anything else when I speak with money."

Wei Zheng was also very straightforward and said, "How much does it cost?"

"The registration fee is 100% but whether it is used depends on my ability and my mood. The ugly saying goes first. If you don't choose, the registration fee will not be refunded. Think about it and come again."

"I understand." Wei Zheng nodded and said, "I will send it to your residence tomorrow."

"What are you doing to send it to my residence? Do you want to frame me? If I accept it, you can ask that Wang Jingze to impeach me again. I will not fall into your trap and send the money to the Ministry of Works and hand it over to your daughter. She is now my secretary, and all these things are under her control."

When Wei Zheng heard Li Mu mention his daughter, he became expressionless in an instant. Everyone looked at him with a look of strangeness. Who doesn’t know that Wei Zheng drove his daughter out of the house, but Li Mu took in his daughter. Who doesn’t have the intention of gossiping? This suspicion of being a little bitchy in melon field is inevitable.

Wei Zheng could not bear the eyes of everyone, and stopped eating the vinegar qin. He stood up and said, "There is still something for the Censorate, I will say goodbye first. See you tomorrow."

Li Mu didn't stop him, and called the waiter and ordered him to pack a portion of vinegar celery and deliver it to Wei Zheng's mansion.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Li Mu greeted again: "Everyone eats and drinks well, don't be polite, leave first if you have something to do. Everyone is so familiar, there is no need to be restrained."

Wang Gui had just said half of what he said, and was really embarrassed to continue asking, so he had to wink at Changsun Wuji. He had already planned to give up when Li Mu said the "hire system" and there was no "salary". But because of Wei Zheng's joining, he felt that there must be some good things he had not yet thought of, so he hesitated again.

The same doubtful person was Changsun Wuji. After hearing Li Mu's words, he knew that the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not good enough. Such officials were okay to deceive those merchants, but it was not a good choice for the children of aristocratic families. It was a low-key business career. Although he had money and power, he was still inferior to others in the circle of nobles. It would be fine if he was born in a neighborhood, but Li Mu had already stated that he only had talents, which would be very difficult.

It’s not that the other branches have no talents, but they are just worried that Li Mu will use his background as a gift. When asking for money, the lion speaks loudly, which is more difficult to deal with.

As for the situation of not having money, Changsun Wuji didn't even think about it. Li Mu, who had become the Minister of the Interior Department, kept talking all the money, and he was full of money. He was so stinking that he didn't look like a noble person.

"Li Mu, don't go around the corner. What kind of regulations does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have? What are your requirements? Let's put them out. Let's have a good chat so that you can avoid going around like this and being tired."

Everyone nodded. Li Mu was too jealous and fighting wits and courage was too consuming brain cells. It would be better to be simple.

"This is what the uncle of the country said, calling him someone else, so I can't tell you a word." Li Mu held it first and said, "The charter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been decided recently, and it has not been time to report it to Your Majesty. Let me tell you about it today."

"My plan is to have nine bureaus and one guards under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, namely, Guangshu Bureau, Imperial Bureau, Accounting Bureau, Construction Bureau, Patent Bureau, Printing Bureau, Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Sales Bureau, Fengchen Bureau. Guards are naturally Jinyiwei. Everyone can see the specific functions of the yamen from the name. The chiefs of each bureau are called directors, corresponding to the sixth rank official positions. There are two levels below the director, one is called "District" and the other is called "Kao", which corresponds to the seventh and eighth rank official positions. Again, there are chief officials of each department, corresponding to the ninth rank official positions."

Changsun Wuji was secretly shocked. Li Mu was very ambitious. According to his statement, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was like a small court? In addition to the power of criminal titles, the court had almost all of them!

He understood this section, but he did not point it out. He expected that Li Mu would have been angry with Li Shimin if he dared to say it in public. Since it was something that Li Shimin agreed to, there must be an unknown purpose behind it, so he would rather stay away from it.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and asked, "Why are there no fourth or fifth rank official positions? Your brother has been awarded the fifth rank official."

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guo really respects me. It is not my face to be awarded the fifth rank of my brother, but the face of the Hejian County Prince. Meng Hejian County Prince loved me wrongly and accepted my brother as his godson, so he got the fifth rank official position. The rumors are not trustworthy and are too exaggerated."

Changsun Wuji thought to himself, I believe your evil, what are the rumors in the market? Under your control of the Tang Dynasty Daily, what is spreading in the market, isn’t you the final say?

He did not bother with this matter, but said, "If the Office of the Internal Affairs Office makes such arrangements, it seems to be a bit unbalanced. You are the chief minister of the third rank, and at least you have to have some helpers. Chong'er is your disciple. If you don't dislike him, I will beg His Majesty to ask Chong'er to the Office of the Internal Affairs Office to help you?"

Wang Gui thought to himself that Changsun Wuji had indeed taken action. Although he didn't know what Changsun Wuji was thinking, he felt that he could not fall behind, so he quickly pulled Wang Pu over and said, "Marty, my brother and you."

Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted the two of them, saying, "My good disciple Changsun Chong and my good friend Wang Pu have long been the one I like. However, if they are the sixth-rank official, they will seem a little insignificant with their talents. But if they go further, I am afraid that Your Majesty, alas! Even if Your Majesty agrees, will all the civil and military officials in the court agree? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already on the target of public criticism. If there are a group of fourth- and fifth-rank officials, the court and the public should not say: Look at that Li Mu, he is planning to rebel, and he is going to create a small court!"

Li Mu frowned and said, "If this is the case, what can I do! I am afraid now and can't stand any trouble anymore!"

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "Who dares to gossip for His Majesty and for the country? How can those who are idle at the Censorate understand the hard work of the Marquis? The Marquis is a person who does big things, so you don't have to take villains to heart!"

Anyway, Wei Zheng has left, and no one dares to steal him from the rest, and he is not afraid of saying it.

Changsun Wuji thought more. He was not worried that Li Mu was the target of public criticism. Anyway, he was already there. He was worried that his son would be implicated by Li Mu. But no matter how he thought, it was because he had passed through this village and had no store. After he hesitating, he said: "How can he be afraid of people's words when serving the imperial court? As long as you agree to take the area to Chong'er, I will talk about His Majesty."

Li Mu hesitated and said for a long time: "My good disciple is good everywhere, but this weight is really... too clumsy. Moreover, he hasn't yet gone to the army. Last time I asked him to accompany Prince Gaochang, and I didn't do any small things well... If he was not qualified, he would probably damage his reputation as a uncle."

Fortunately, Changsun Chong was not here today, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood again.

Changsun Wuji understood what Li Mu meant. He was saying, since you have to let your son be this official, then just act it, but if it is not good, it is embarrassing, it has nothing to do with me, Li Mu.

What a treacherous boy!

Changsun Wuji endured this anger and said, "He is your disciple. If he is not qualified, don't be polite. You should scold him as much as you should."
