Chapter 756 Preparations for departure

Looking forward, looking forward to the day when Li Shimin was crowned Tian Khan finally came.

In order to avoid omissions, the first day, Yu Zhining took the officials of the East Palace to conduct a "makeup rehearsal". Except for the emperor and the queen, everyone else was asked to come to the scene and follow the formal process. Li Mu naturally couldn't avoid it, and he was struggling for a day. He was so tired that he got up again in the early morning. After two days in a row, Li Mu felt that he couldn't hold on anymore. It was really difficult for those older men, such as Kong Yingda, to be so tired that their faces turned purple, but he still persisted, which was admirable.

Li Yuan still didn't come to participate. The old man seemed to fall in love with Xiaoyao Valley and hid inside and refused to come out. When Li Mu was ordered to invite him, he saw that the land that Li Yuan reclaimed was full of potatoes and grew well. Only then did he realize that Li Yuan could farm and planted well. After a few days, Li Yuan's temperament and image changed a lot. He had lost all his nobleness, and his hands were calloused due to farming. He was tanned and wearing a straw hat, looking like an old farmer. Li Mu was very moved.

From Li Yourong, Li Yuan sent off his young concubines and gave them money to them to find another family. He is old and does not take medicine, and is no longer humane. Some of these young women have only been favored by him once, and maybe there is no chance of a second time in his life. Staying with him is also a widow. And according to the rules, after Li Yuan's death, these people will become monks. By then, they will not be widows, which is even more uncomfortable than jailing. Therefore, Li Yuan's actions are also a merit.

Li Mu didn't expect Li Yuan to plant potatoes so well. He felt happy to see him put his mind on it. Someone had to do things, but people were not the same. Others might be disturbed. However, Li Yuan would have little interference when he did it. Li Mu took out one-third of the seeds he collected and handed them to Li Yuan, explaining to him the habits of each crop, and let him cultivate and plant them. The area of ​​Xiaoyao Valley is not small and is isolated from the outside world. If the planting is successful, it is equivalent to cultivating seeds, which is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

Li Yuan didn't even mention Dou Ren's affairs. It was obvious that Li Shimin was lying that day, and Li Yuan was furious about Dou Ren's affairs, and there was nothing at all. Li Mu didn't mention this, and he didn't want to bother Li Yuan anymore. This emperor finally lived a life of Caiju and leisurely going south and seeing Nanshan leisurely. If he was worried about him, he would be too unscrupulous.

Li Yuan was still very happy about Li Mu becoming Li Jiancheng's heir. After all, Li Jiancheng was the son he had been in contact with for the longest time and his favorite son. He was naturally very happy with the person who inherited the incense. But after all, he had been an emperor and could guess what Li Shimin was thinking, but this matter was not easy to say. He could only remind Li Mu in a tactful way to protect himself and not do Mu Xiuyulin's business again.

On the second day of the coronation ceremony, Li Mu, under the auspices of Zongzheng Temple, formally worshiped the Taimiao and became Li Jiancheng's heir. Li Shimin was very happy and issued another order. Li Mu was in Luoyang and had no mansion yet. He gave Li Mu a mansion. He asked him to bring the keys and sign for it soon.

What is strange is that the decree did not mention the location of the mansion, and Li Mu did not ask in detail. After the ceremony, he was so busy that he had no time to take care of him.

...

The phoenix seeks the phoenix.

Li Mu came back from the Ministry of Works and followed Gongsun Kang behind him, listening to his report while walking. He was about to go back to Luoyang soon and wanted to take away a group of craftsmen. Gongsun Kang was talking about the candidates for him, and Li Mu responded um. He actually didn't recognize any of these names, but he didn't want to dispel Gongsun Kang's enthusiasm, so he kept hearing it now.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Mu discovered a young man who was tall and strong in the yard. Although he did not have the attitude of Li Chongyi, he could be called tall and mighty. This person was his wife's brother Bai Gensheng. This kid has not seen him for two months and has grown taller and stronger. It seems that the food in Dingxiang Zhechong Mansion is good and the nutrition is keeping up.

"Brother-in-law." Bai Gensheng passed the voice changer and his voice became much thicker, but his mind was not much smarter. He still didn't know the right way to speak: "What do you have to call me back? In another half a year, I will be promoted to the team. Making achievements is right in front of you. Calling me back will ruin my future?"

"Fuck!" Li Mu choked Bai Gensheng's words back with a word. Bai Gensheng looked at Li Mu blankly and said, "Brother-in-law, what did I say wrong? That's it!"

"Do you know your sister and I have done your best to you!" Li Mu walked into the house, and Gongsun Kang stayed outside the door and waited consciously. Bai Gensheng ignored this and followed him in, looking like he was asking for an explanation, and said, "Brother-in-law, do you understand, how do you think about me?"

"Why didn't you think about you? Let me ask you, are the Turks and us? The Turks have been in harmony, and there will be no war in the west. There will be no war in the west. There will be some small thieves. Even if you are lucky and catch up, you will catch them all. How much can the thieves give you? You can make achievements? Don't even think about it, be your big-headed soldier for the rest of your life!"

Bai Gensheng was stunned and thought for a while. It seemed that this was really the case, but he felt something was wrong in his heart. He looked at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "Brother-in-law, what you said is true? Call me back, is it really for my own good?"

"That's natural. I'm your brother-in-law. Your sister is the only brother like you. Who will I take care of if I don't take care of you?"

Bai Gensheng was not stupid enough. It was too early for him to know Li Mu. He knew Li Mu's speaking style, which sounded a bit like a slander. He pursed his lips and thought for a while and asked, "Well, brother-in-law, how do you take care of me? You have to let me see the benefits. My father said that I will take over Jingdong Ji, I will tell you, I won't do it!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's just you, I dare to talk to me like this!"

Bai Gensheng felt a little nervous when he heard what he said, and said timidly: "Brother-in-law, I don't mean this, I--"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's a family. Why would I mind? You are still young, it's still early to take over Jingdong Ji, and my father-in-law can work for a few years. There's no hurry. I've made arrangements for you. You can go to the Urban Management Bureau of the Internal Affairs Bureau tomorrow to report and ask you to be a team leader. What do you think?"

"I won't do it!" Bai Gensheng curled his lips and said, "Isn't the Urban Management Bureau the original Urban Management Team? How do they compare with us? They are also team leaders, and the team in Dingxiang is much more valuable than the team in Chang'an City. What are their abilities? They are just playboys, and I don't want to be their subordinates."

"Young man is quite arrogant." Li Mu looked up and down at Bai Gensheng and said, "What, have you gained your skills? Do you still look down on others?"

"Brother-in-law, this is not something I boasted about." Bai Gensheng looked proud and said, "Just say these young masters and soldiers, what big scenes have they seen? Have they ever seen blood? Have they ever killed people? In this Chang'an City, at most, they just had to meet gangsters. When they really got to the next door of the grassland, they were all timid?"

"I'm going to be crazy." Li Mu didn't argue with him, saying, "Okay, then that's it. Tomorrow, you go to the Urban Management Bureau and say what I said, let their officials stand up, you fight one by one, and you will win whoever you win, you will be in the position of whoever you want. If you can defeat Fang Yiai, you will be the leader in the future, and you will be promoted from a small team to a sixth-rank official. Is your brother-in-law worthy of you?"

"Really?" Bai Gensheng didn't know who Fang Yiai was. Even if he had met one time, he had long forgotten that now he only had the three words "sixth-rank official" left in his mind. In the Tang Dynasty's military system, except for the generals who led the troops, there was actually no way to be promoted in the Zhechong Prefectures, because they were awarded medals rather than officials. The so-called team leader was just a position in this Zhechong Prefecture. He was transferred during the war, and when he arrived in the army, he might be disbanded and reorganized.

Only when you reach the level of the Zhechong Captain and the Guoyi Commander can you be considered a real military officer. But if you want to reach this level, it is almost impossible to make special contributions.

Therefore, the sixth-rank official still had a great temptation to Bai Gensheng. He responded excitedly, ran back home, ready to fight, intending to challenge Fang Yiai directly tomorrow, and skip the middle steps. He also has his own calculations. The wheel battle consumes his own physical strength. If he wins, he will consume most of it, and it is difficult to beat Fang Yiai. But if he challenges Fang Yiai directly, he will still have a chance to win, and if he wins, it will be a big one, which is obviously more cost-effective.

But Bai Gensheng made a mistake in the plan. He thought that the people from the Urban Management Bureau were young master soldiers and were not used, which was a big mistake. The Young Master soldiers were right, but they were most useful. The main members of the Urban Management Bureau were the second sons of each family. They were not entrusted by their families, so they would not be forced to study. They danced with knives and sticks all day long and hired famous teachers. Not only was they excellent in their skills, they were never inferior to Bai Gensheng.

Fang Yi's lover is tall and big, and he is the best among them. It is impossible to lose when fighting with Bai Gensheng. Li Mu did not point out these things. Young people always need some hard work to avoid being too arrogant and eventually benefiting others and harming themselves.

Bai Gen left before her death, and Bai Qiaoqiao came back. There was no work, she had to do it, just following the doctor's advice and daily activities, saying that it would help with natural birth. For a natural birth, Bai Qiaoqiao has been struggling a lot these days, and this is also impossible. In this era, there is no saying that caesarean section is either natural birth or difficult to give birth. Difficulty means death, one corpse and two lives. Li Mu relied on the system to invent this and that, but he dared not invent "surgery". Bacteria are everywhere. If a wound is infected, there is no antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medicine, he basically cannot survive.

Li Mu couldn't let this happen, so although he felt sorry for Bai Qiaoqiao's tiredness, Li Mu still asked the maid to urge her to take a few more steps every day.

"Did you see the root grow?" Li Mu brought Bai Qiaoqiao over and asked with a smile.

"See, you're rash." Bai Qiaoqiao was naturally happy when she saw her younger brother, but her sister thought about her younger brother, but her younger brother might not understand it. Bai Gensheng was sure that Bai Qiaoqiao told Li Mu, and after he came back, he had no good expression to give her.

She didn't dare to show this in front of Li Mu, otherwise Bai Gensheng would definitely be taught by Li Mu.

Li Mu told Bai Qiaoqiao about the arrangement for Bai Gensheng. Bai Qiaoqiao had no objection. Bai Qiaoqiao also felt that it was inappropriate to take over the matter of Jingdong. Bai Naoer was less than forty years old and was not unable to do it. Besides, with his personality, even though he said that Bai Gensheng would come back to take over, how could he hand over the shift? Those rogues who were scattering under him would not obey Bai Gensheng, and eventually they would make a mess.

It was Li Mu's arrangement that would not only allow Bai Gensheng to stay with Bai Naoer's side, but also allow him to stay.

Li Mu touched Bai Qiaoqiao's belly and said worriedly: "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for a long time. I'm worried that we will go back to Luoyang and get bored if we get angry again. If it doesn't work, let's give birth in Chang'an. After giving birth, go back to Luoyang?"

"It's better to go back soon." Bai Qiaoqiao knew that Li Mu wanted to reunite with her family for a longer time, but she didn't want to make Li Mu embarrassed. Now Li Mu was suspicious of Li Shimin and lost Li Ji one after another in the court. Tang Jian could support such a support. The longer he stayed in Chang'an, the more dangerous it was. It would be better for Luoyang. Dugu Jiu had already gone to Luoyang to handle the matter first. When Li Mu went there, Bai Qiaoqiao believed in his ability. Without the emperor suppression, no one could restrain him.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It will take a few days. Before leaving, I have to make some arrangements."

Bai Qiaoqiao did not interrupt Li Mu, and listened to him: "The Chang'an ticket of the Sales Department was issued very well and raised a sum of money. Now the orphans near Chang'an City have been sheltered in the Sales Department. The money cannot be spent. Xue Zhi discussed with me whether to open a Sales Department in Luoyang, take a part of the money from Chang'an, and then issue Luo'an tickets from Luoyang to support these children. Although Luoyang is not as large as Chang'an, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and most of them are rich people. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be affordable."

"The craftsmen selected from the Ministry of Works have almost been decided. I plan to ask Gongsun Kang to take them away first, take the mansion given by His Majesty to see if there is any place that needs repair and repair it. After all, we have to live there, right?"
