Chapter 395
Another naughty kid full of dreams!
Li Chongyi is also thirteen or fourteen years old this year. He can probably understand the current situation facing the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. He has already felt something about his future. His dream is to be a general. Who would be willing to give up his dream? Even if he knows that he can't change anything, but struggling for it is a reaction that everyone will have.
Today, Li Chongyi ran out secretly. He did not ask his father for advice, not because he was afraid of being rejected, but because he couldn't bear to see his father in a difficult situation. Moreover, even if he wanted to ask for advice at this time, he couldn't ask for advice, and Li Xiaogong had not yet sobered up.
Li Mu came to Li Chongyi, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said, "Little brother, remember one thing, brother is always the elder brother, you don't need to provoke me, I'll settle this matter for you. But you should stop signing up. There is no suitable responsibilities for you... If you go to your brother, just say what I mean, be an Embroidered Uniform Guard first."
"Really?" Li Chongyi widened his eyes. His real target was the Jinyiwei. He came to register because he was worried that Li Mu would not help, and planned to sneak into the Interior Office first and find a way. Unexpectedly, he saved the trouble and directly achieved his goal. Li Chongyi was naturally overjoyed and wanted to kowtow to Li Mu. He hugged Li Mu tightly and screamed. Li Mu pushed him away and kicked him again. The young man was not angry and rode his horse to find the big man.
After sending the naughty child away, Li Mu came to the table at the registration office, looked at the account book in front of Wei Yingluo, and asked, "How many people are there?"
Wei Yingluo flipped through the front and replied, "There are already 124 people."
"Okay, the 200 people are cut off, the number of people is too large, like we are scamming. Five to one, the elimination rate is still much lower than the imperial examination, which is also considered to be a save face for them."
Wei Yingluo nodded, and Pearl shouted crisply: "There are 86 places left. Those who sign up should hurry up. Be careful, queue up. You will be disqualified when you go to the line!" Suddenly, a riot broke out from behind the team, and everyone hurriedly calculated how many they were queuing. Fortunately, it was still early, and even the people at the end of the team were within the quota, but there were not many empty seats.
Li Mu was also counting the number of people. Judging from the length of the team, it would take about one and a half hours to fill the quota of 200. Li Mu thought for a while, lowered his head and said to Wei Yingluo, "The 200 quotas will be full later. If there are still people who want to register, look at the number of people. If there are fewer people, you will say the registration is deadline. If there are more people and more than a hundred people, you will say it is what I mean, and add another 100 people, but the registration fee will be doubled."
It's so dark!
Wei Yingluo muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, and nodded in agreement. Seeing Li Mu turning around and strolling away, Zhenzhu couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, the Marquis is too dark. Each person is 100 guan, and 200 guan is 200 guan. If the registration fee is doubled later, it will be 20,000 guan. If there is no promise at all, I will collect money from others. If I can't be a Shangguan, I will not refund it. This..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Wei Yingluo didn't raise her head and said, "Although the Marquis is cheating money, it is on the surface. If these people were not obsessed with greed, they would not come to send money. One is willing to beat the other and the other is willing to be cheated, and it deserves to be cheated." After saying that, Wei Yingluo couldn't help frowning and looked up and said, "Zezhu, why don't you talk to your father?"
Wei Zheng stood in front of Wei Yingluo in embarrassment. He happened to hear his daughter's words. His face turned red, so he had to deliberately pretend that he hadn't heard it and said with a stern face: "I'll sign up for these two."
Wei Yingluo turned her head and saw two people standing behind Wei Zheng, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a somewhat arrogant look and seemingly impatient. She felt a sudden sudden feeling of her heart. She had been with Li Mu for so long and knew Li Mu's personality too well. Regardless of the talents of these two people, even if she had such an attitude, she would definitely not be able to pass it in front of Li Mu.
Seeing Wei Yingluo hesitating, Wei Zheng thought she was worried that Li Mu would not allow people from Shandong to sign up, and said, "I have already greeted Li Mu and brought the money. Please help them register."
"Dad..." Wei Yingluo bit her lip and said, "I need to queue up."
"We're in line!" said someone behind Wei Zheng. He looked at Wei Yingluo and said, "Are you the daughter of Uncle Wei? Humph, I have heard of your affairs, it's really hard to imagine that Uncle Wei has a daughter like you!"
"What's wrong with my lady?" Zhenzhu said unconvincedly: "Who are you? Why should you point fingers at my lady?"
"I can't talk to you, a maid, and I've lost my identity."
"You, you are so rude!" Zhenzhu stamped her feet in anger and wanted to find Li Mu. Wei Yingluo grabbed her and said, "The Marquis is busy with things, don't cause trouble for him. Since you are queuing up, just register according to the rules. Zhenzhu, collect the money."
After saying that, he lowered his head to register and wrote down the names, backgrounds, expertise and goals in the registration book.
One of them registered for the Patent Office and the other registered for the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, both of which were popular departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. During this period, Wei Yingluo has been following Li Mu and knows clearly what the Patent Office and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau do. When she saw these two people applying for these two departments, she knew what they had. Looking up at her own father, Wei Yingluo sighed in her heart. She knew that Wei Zheng would not listen to her advice, but how could she succeed in making an idea on Li Mu's territory? Wei Yingluo really couldn't bear to see her own father being frustrated again!
Just as she was about to talk to her father, Wei Zheng had already turned around and left. Wei Yingluo sighed and continued to receive the next signing person. At this time, a eunuch who was sending the order came on horseback. He glanced at this side and hurried into the door. After a while, Li Mu followed the eunuch who was sending the order and came out of the Ministry of Works. Seeing Wei Yingluo, he told her that she might not be back at any time and asked her to tell the person who had signed up and just go home and wait for the news.
Wei Yingluo agreed, and Li Mu had already walked away.
...
The eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch came so urgently, naturally because Li Shimin had an order. Li Mu was still wondering how important things could be so in a hurry. And he was very surprised that even if there were important things, he couldn't find him. What were Changsun Wuji and others doing for food? Do you think he was not busy enough?
Or, is it because you have caused trouble?
He came to Tai Chi Hall in his heart, and Eunuch Gao helped him open the door and did not go in with him. Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Li Shimin was not in a good mood today.
Li Mu took a deep breath, bowed and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."
"Here you come." Li Shimin's voice came over, and Li Mu secretly looked up, and his expression suddenly became very exciting. He saw a huge map on the ground, and Li Shimin squatted barefoot on the map, staring at something attentively.
"Come here." Li Shimin waved, Li Mu was about to step on, but suddenly hesitated for a moment and took off his boots.
"Look at this map, it was drawn by Qingque the day before yesterday and gave it to me. How about it?"
"Um..." Li Mu looked at this huge map. To be honest, since he had seen a more accurate and error-free map drawn by a computer in his previous life, it was a bit difficult to describe this hand-drawn map with a messy scale, but looking at Li Shimin's arrogant look, this map should be very good in this era.
Li Mu focused his attention and said, "Your Majesty, this picture is the only one I have seen in my life, which makes me amazed."
"I was also shocked. I really didn't expect that Qingque had such talent." Li Shimin praised his son proudly and said, "But I came to you today, not to praise Qingque. Look here," Li Shimin clicked on the picture and said, "What do you think if I put the Tuli tribe here?"
The map in front of him was not even matched with the map in Li Mu's memory. Li Mu thought to himself, "How can I understand this?" But he didn't want to show an ignorant look. He glanced at Li Shimin's expression and said vaguely: "It should be possible."
Li Shimin only thought Li Mu understood and said, "I think so too, but Li Mu, do you know why I made such arrangements?"
Why do you always ask such strange questions?
Li Mu was whispering in his heart, but he was talking nonsense on the surface, saying, "Your Majesty's holy heart is arbitrary, how dare I speculate randomly?"
"What a holy heart is arbitrary." Li Shimin stood up, straightened his waist, and said, "This is not my plan, it is Keming's plan. But Keming's calculations are very important. It's really hateful that Tuli, who is only twenty-nine years old, actually died. My plan in the north was almost completely overturned by him!"
It turned out to be Du Ruhui's plan, but it was indeed the shadow of a famous tree. It's not simple!
Li Mu looked at the map carefully and wanted to understand the content on the map, but he really couldn't understand it, so he had to give up.
Li Shimin came to Li Mu, as if he wanted to find a confidant. Before Li Mu could ask, he started talking to himself.
"Keming will arrive early. After the Eastern Turks are destroyed, the Western Turks will inevitably take action. Therefore, we will make plans early. Do you know what the plans are?"
Li Mu: “…”
What is this problem? I am not Du Ruhui. I didn’t see it when he wrote the memorial. This question is so mentally retarded!
"Keming's plan was to transfer and place the Turks in the areas of Youzhou to Lingzhou with a real empty land; to set up the four prefectures of Shun, You, Hua and Chang in Tuli, and then divide them into six prefectures to allow the tribes that were originally bullied by Jie Li. This not only reduces hidden dangers, but also prevents Xueyantuo, who is becoming increasingly powerful in the north."
