Chapter 553 New Forces
"Don't be scared like this." Li Mu smiled and raised his hand, saying, "You can be promoted first among graduates again, which means that your ability is recognized by students. I will not doubt you just because your uncle helped you. But as for this charter, you are not enough to be so experienced with your experience and knowledge, that is why you have this question. I remember you said that your uncle is a writer now and is studying the history of the Sui Dynasty. I don't know if he is busy or not, and whether he can have time," Li Mu knocked on the charter in his hand and said, "I admire his literary talent very much and hope to meet him."
Xu Ji was stunned, then was overjoyed, and said with his head on the ground, "My uncle often said that he admired the Marquis's unparalleled talent, but he was a pity that his status was low and he had no chance to meet him. If Uncle learned that the Marquis was summoned, he would not know how happy he would be!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerating. Okay, just be in heaven and earth tomorrow at noon, I'll wait for him."
"How dare you let the marquis wait? My uncle must arrive early and prepare a banquet to wait."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's just a meal, everyone is the same. This charter is very good. It is signed with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and presented it to Your Majesty for the emperor to visit. If Your Majesty has no objection, he will take it to see the Turks and explain the terms to him clearly. The orders that need to be delivered within three months will be clearly stated one by one. The Turks seem reckless, but they are actually treacherous. They must tell them the pros and cons and tell them that the current policy is to keep the Tang Dynasty silent and help the Turkic tribes and win these opportunities, so that they can cherish them well. If the order goes wrong, don't blame the Ministry of Internal Affairs for ruthlessness."
"The official understands!"
Li Mu frowned and said, "Xu Ji, why do I think you are so disliked!"
Xu Ji was so scared that he couldn't even explain his words. He asked tremblingly: "Marty, what did the servant do wrong, or did he say something wrong?"
Li Mu pointed at Changsun Chong and said, "Let's go back and teach him how to deal with outsiders in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In terms of temperament, Xiao Xu is not a little bit bad. Get out of here quickly, you will be annoyed when you look at it!"
Changsun Chong responded quickly and pulled Xu Ji, who was still unknown, and walked out. Qin Huaidao also wanted to sneak out, but was whipped by Li Mu. He stood back in the circle honestly and continued to carry him.
...
The next day, at the hour of Mao, in front of Liangyi Hall, all the officials who were waiting to enter the hall were shocked by the transparent glass window in front of them.
Those who are qualified to attend court are at least fifth grade. Not only are they without knowledge, they have one or two pieces of glass at home, but they are all used as gems and are not easily shown to others. At first sight, a huge glass that is tall, so transparent that you can even see your own reflection. Before Li Mu announced that he had mastered the technique of refining glass, where could he see such a large piece of glass?
The real thing is right in front of you, and it is impossible not to admit it. Looking at this hall shining brightly under the sun, it is undeniable that everyone vaguely felt a sense of "being proud". This is where the Tang Dynasty discussed politics. Looking back on the past and present, there is no such "glorious" anymore.
As he looked at it, someone became interested. Some people had long discussed it, saying that the price of this glass was no longer as expensive as before. After several improvements by Li Mu, the price of the transparent glass he made now is almost the same as that of silver.
You should know that the original glass is divided into five colors, seven colors, etc., and the most expensive value is similar to gold. But even so, there is still a price but no market, so whoever gets a piece of glass is treated as a treasure. When Li Mu first showed the glass, he also said that the cost of this glass was not cheap, but he did not mention the price. The price in the market is obviously impossible to be groundless.
If it is really equivalent to silver, it doesn't seem so completely unacceptable. Even if it cannot be replaced with glass windows like the palace in front of you, if it is just a study or a lobby, it should be almost the same.
Although it is a lot of money, if you can have a study room with glass windows, what kind of face would it be to treat people to pick up customers!
Many ministers were thinking in their minds. Suddenly, Eunuch Gao shouted, and the door of the hall slowly opened. Everyone gathered their minds and stepped into the hall. The two civil and military squads stood still. Li Shimin also sat on the dragon throne, secretly yawned, sat upright, coughed lightly, and Eunuch Gao said sharply: "If you have something to say, you will leave the court without any trouble."
"I have a memorial on the matter of the new land policy." Wei Zheng was the first to stand up and raised the tablet. Li Shimin said 'yes' and signaled that Wei Zheng could say it.
"I have reviewed the land system in detail in the Jin, Wei, Sui and other dynasties. When all dynasties founded, they mainly focused on seeking stability, and local families..."
Wei Zheng obviously made some preparations and talked endlessly that there was only one main theme. In order to ensure the stability of the local area, local clans and other preferential policies should be given. Even if it is certain that there are royal lands in the world, the original land should be retained to prevent turmoil. Li Mu did not come to court today, which gave Wei Zheng great confidence because no one was his opponent. If Li Mu was present, even if he said that, he would not dare to talk so loudly.
Wei Zheng talked about it for half an hour and explained the pros and cons. It was not until Li Shimin slept with his arms back that he pursed his cracked lips and said, "I'm done."
Li Shimin didn't listen to what he said at all, because his idea was decided and reform was inevitable. Even if it failed, he would try it. So when Wei Zheng said the third game, he had already turned on the filtering mode.
But it’s not good to be an emperor. You can’t do whatever you want. The process you should have must be. When Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng finished speaking, he habitually said: “Wei Aiqing’s opinion is already very clear. Who has any other opinions?”
"I'm going to report."
"Who?" Li Shimin looked around and didn't see the source of the sound. After taking a closer look, he saw a green robe standing at the door and smiled and said, "Chong'er, you are here for Li Mu again today? What's your mentor doing?"
Changsun Chong stood up and said respectfully: "My teacher is studying and preparing for the spring exam. Regarding the land affairs, my teacher said that he had said everything he should have said, and he didn't want to take care of the rest. I served in the Imperial Property Bureau of the Internal Affairs Office. This is my duty, so I am here today."
"Oh." Li Shimin thought to himself. Li Mu was indeed angry yesterday. This kid really dared to shy face with me. But it was not the time to care about it. He looked at Changsun Chong and asked with concern: "Chong'er, do you have confidence?"
"I have no confidence, but I will do my best to carry out my mentor's will."
"Okay," Li Shimin nodded in the eyes of Changsun Chong's burning eyes and said, "Then tell me, do you have any different opinions."
