The motorcycle prince was frightened by Li Mu's tone and responded timidly. Seeing that he was almost scared, Li Mu changed his tone and said, "There is one more thing I have to say to you."

"Mr. Please speak."

"This imperial edict is a secret edict. Do you know what it means?"

The motorcycle prince was stunned and said carefully: "The little king is stupid, please tell the marquis."

Li Mu approached the motorcycle prince and said, "You have lived in Honglu Temple for a while. You should know how many envoys have lived in the Honglu Temple's welcome hotel. You have good luck. When you meet me, you have done the matter. But their affairs have not yet been settled. If you leak the news, it will not only cause trouble for this marquis, but also cause trouble for Your Majesty. Other envoys will use this as a basis for saying that the Tang Dynasty is partial to Zhenla and ignore them - do you want Your Majesty to bear such a bad reputation? That's too unkind!"

"How dare Xiao Wang!" The motorcycle prince said quickly: "Thank you for your advice. Xiao Wang must be silent and will never reveal a word to anyone."

Li Mu also instructed: "Not only the envoys living in Honglu Temple cannot reveal a word, but they cannot reveal a word when they meet anyone along the way. The secret decree is a secret decree. In addition to you who sent the decree, there is also the Funan King who received the decree. No one can read it. If you reveal it, it will be a death sentence." Li Musenran said: "The Jinwu Guard who comes with you will supervise your words and deeds. If you violate the rules, you can weigh the consequences yourself."

The motorcycle prince was sweating when he heard this and said repeatedly: "Little Wang remembers the Marquis' teachings and must abide by the rules."

"That's good." After Li Mu was scared, he started to think again. There is a saying that if the thief doesn't leave, there is no need to help. He has to get some benefits. He glanced at the motorcycle prince and asked leisurely: "I heard that you left the brigade with Randuolou and arrived in Chang'an in advance. This time, you Zhenla Kingdom sent an envoy to meet His Majesty. If you do such a big thing, you can't come empty-handed, right?"

The motorcycle prince was stunned and instantly thought of all kinds of rumors about Prince Gaochang. He understood it and replied in a low voice: "How dare you come empty-handed? This time I met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhen Lat prepared a heavy gift. There is a gift list..." The motorcycle prince turned around and looked at Yan Duolou. Yan Duolou hurriedly took out the gift list from his arms and handed it to Li Mu.

Since they left the brigade, the motorcycle prince specially prepared a gift list. Li Mu looked through it and his brows gradually frowned. Compared with the wealthy Gaochang, the gift list of Zhenla Kingdom was shabby. There were no yellow and white local specialties he wanted, but they were all strange things.

Sixteen rhinos, thirty-two white elephants, sixty-four palace musicians, coconut bamboo, agarwood, yellow wax, cardamom, purple stems, and big wind oil...

All of them are messy, they are still real, they are all local specialties.

The motorcycle prince carefully observed Li Mu's face. Seeing that his face was as deep as water, he understood why and apologized: "Mr. Marquis, the Zhenla country has a small population and has been bullied by Funan for many years. It's really... These things are the best things that Xiao Wang can bring out. Marquis, please rest assured. As long as you can resolve this disaster, the Zhenla country will remember the grace of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. The next time you pay tribute, you will never be so shabby."

"What are you saying?" Li Mu handed the gift list to Dugu Jiu. The motorcycle prince was stunned, but did not dare to speak. Li Mu glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you think I am for your thing? Humph, no one knows that this marquis is helping others and Little Langjun. In my eyes, money is like dirt. It smells smelly! It is not smelly! The thing I hate the most is money. The person I hate the most is the person who uses money to talk about things! I help you for the people of both countries, is it for money?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Marquis is anxious about the reputation of being righteous. Xiao Wang has heard of this gift list...?"

Li Mu Zhengyi said: "The situation in Zhenla country is critical. If you go back one day earlier, the people will suffer one day less. Without further ado, I will arrange it as soon as possible and make three days to get you back. You will not have time to deal with these gifts. As a good friend, I will do it for you. It happened that I am the Minister of the Interior Department, who is in charge of Your Majesty's treasury. Don't worry, no one will be worse. Although it is a little less, it is the heart of the Zhenla country to my emperor. I will definitely convey it to Your Majesty truthfully."

"You can't believe my marquis' character?" Li Mu suddenly frowned and said, "You are planning to take back the gift, why? After the matter is done, are you reluctant to give up the gift?"

"How dare you!" The motorcycle prince hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying, "I wish, I dare not ask for help. If the Marquis is willing to help, it will be great. The Marquis' character is trusted by Xiao Wang, and a thousand, thank you for the Marquis, thank you!"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I'll give up, I'm not asking for anything."

The motorcycle prince hurriedly said, "Mr. Please tell me, Xiao Wang is so stupid that he will definitely do it for the Marquis."

"It's that seed, rice seeds, I like them very much. I have some other seeds, so I only have this little hobby. Just help me collect seeds, and don't have anything else..." Li Mu raised his eyelids and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, Prince Motorcycle, I want you to order seeds, it can't be considered a bribe, right? You can't go to the censor to sue me, right?"

"How can this be considered a bribe?" The motorcycle prince said loudly: "The Marquis is of great character, known to the world, and is obvious to all. If anyone dares to slander the Marquis, Xiao Wang is the first to fight against him."

"Then I'm thankful for your feelings!" Li Mu smiled, got up and patted the motorcycle prince on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, the matter has been done for you, prepare, I'll set it in three days, I'll make arrangements for you. It's okay, it's okay for me to be tired, it's for the people."

"I'm sorry, Lord."

The motorcycle prince and Yan Duolou respectfully sent Li Mu to the door, watched him leave, and then returned to the room. The motorcycle prince picked up the imperial edict, looked at it and looked at it, and was happy. After suffering for many days, he finally got over it. He hugged the imperial edict tightly in his arms, and suddenly saw Yan Duolou's face looked sad, and couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Why are you so depressed?"

Ran Duolou smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you didn't hear the profound meaning in Zhulu Hou's words?"

"Deep meaning?" The motorcycle prince said in confusion: "What is the deep meaning?"

"We didn't give the money."

"Money?" The motorcycle prince frowned and said, "What does this have to do with money? You haven't heard Zhulu Hou say that what he hates the most is money...ah! He is talking nonsense!"

"Oh!" Faced with such a prince who realized it later, Ren Duolou was also tired and said, "Your Highness, Prince, I have inquired about the Prince Gaochang going to find Zhulu Hou to do business and gave him two thousand kilograms of silver, totaling 20,000 jin. We didn't give him anything, just some seeds, how can we satisfy his appetite? Today he did things for us, but he did not get any reward. He must have resentment in his heart, and he may not be able to take revenge in the future. There is an old saying in the Central Plains that good fortune is the basis of misfortune, so the old minister is worried about it."

"This..." The motorcycle prince also realized the crux of the problem and said worriedly: "What should I do? I really don't have that much money in my hands now."

Ran Duolou pondered for a while and said, "I can only wait until Zhenla is back and I'm trying to find a way to get it together. Prince Gaochang gave him 20,000 yuan. Let's grit our teeth and give him 50,000 yuan. Maybe he won't care about our rudeness this time."

"Yes." The motorcycle prince nodded and said, "You are right. 50,000 guan. It's worth it to exchange for Zhenla for peace! When I return to Zhenla, I will try my best to make up the money! I must not offend Zhulu Hou because of money! In that case, in the future, there will be no one who speaks for Zhenla in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Randuolou nodded, and the two found a wooden box and packed the imperial edict. Then Randuolou stayed at the Yingguan Hotel to take care of the imperial edict and packed his luggage. The motorcycle prince took a few followers to the West Market. Every envoy who arrived in Chang'an would purchase it in large quantities before leaving. Because the goods from the Tang Dynasty were rare in their country, there were at least several times the price difference, so the fool would not make a profit.

If the operation is done properly, perhaps the purchase in the West Market would earn half of the 50,000 guan he had given Li Mu. Zhenla Country has a weak national strength, so how could it be let go of such an opportunity?

...

After leaving the Honglu Temple, the three brothers first went to the Ministry of Works and called the 200 people who were eliminating the Jinyiwei who were maintaining the public order in the Craftsman's Shop, and then headed straight to the valley outside the suburbs. The Jinyiwei is currently stationed in the valley. First, there is no suitable place to accommodate them, and secondly, it is to see the pile. After all, there are many things in the valley, and if they are lost, they will be a loss.

There are still many craftsmen working in the valley. They work day by day, but they don’t like to have holidays. During the New Year and the Festival, it has nothing to do with them. The poor don’t have the New Year, that is, the difference between eating a meat meal. Now there is the opportunity to work and make money, so who doesn’t want to do more and earn more money?

There were also many people coming to the students. The first day was Changsun Wuji and Wang Pu, and the next day there were more than twenty more people who received the news. They all had one thing in common, that is, they learned slowly. Any craft, talent and hard work are indispensable. The talent is limited, but if you practice more, practice makes perfect, and you will always make some progress.
