Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 373 The Bloody Dagger
Li Yuan yawned and asked for a glass of strong wine, then motioned Liu Mu to sit near him: "Let me guess, is it a good thing or a trouble."

Liu Muyong pressed his forehead, and frowned tightly.

Li Yuan was amused: "It seems to be a troublesome thing."

"Father is wise."

"Tell me."

"Father, this matter is like this. Father, your advantage is that there are taxes to collect, and you can't take advantage of the people..." As soon as Liu Mu opened his mouth, Li Yuan stretched out his hand to signal Liu Mu to stop: "Don't go around in circles, just do it Talk about the matter, explain the matter clearly, as for what it is, I will ask you after I think about it.”

Liu Mu had no choice but to explain everything clearly.

Li Yuan sat there thinking for a long time, and suddenly asked: "This matter, it seems that there is no benefit to the Qin Palace?"

"Father?" Liu Mu exclaimed.

Li Yuan took a sip of his wine: "I still underestimated you. This is a good thing. It is a good thing for Datang. They paid for the prosperity of Datang. There is more iron, very good, very good."

Li Yuan didn't say some things.

Li Yuan didn't say that sentence just now, it was just a small temptation to Liu Mu.Now it seems that Liu Mu's work is not all for Li Shimin's fight for the throne, but also for the sake of Tang Dynasty. This is very good, and Li Yuan is still very satisfied.

"Father, in fact, what is really valuable is agriculture. If there are more people working in the workshop, then the fields will have two extremes. Either it will be barren, or it will be more efficient to produce more food. "

Li Yuan nodded in agreement with Liu Mu's statement.

But Li Yuan did not express his support: "Don't worry, don't forget who you are talking to, I am waiting."

Liu Mu came to his senses, among these people were important ministers in the court, let's see if they have thought of this, and whether they will mention this matter in the official chapter at the right time.

It seems that I am still young.

"Father, please rest, and my son will leave." Liu Mu had already finished his report, and Qi Qi was about to leave.

Sitting there, Li Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, but he just waved his hand to indicate that Liu Mu could go.

After Liu Mu went out, Li Yuan picked up the cup and drank the wine at the bottom of the cup, still thinking about his eldest son Li Jiancheng in his heart.

At this time, what Li Yuan was thinking about was not the dispute between the Crown Prince's Mansion and King Qin's Mansion.

Instead, he was thinking about what would happen if Liu Mu helped Li Jiancheng like this.

After getting the answer, Li Yuan's mood became even worse. In terms of employing and accommodating people, Li Jiancheng is really not as good as Li Shimin.As for what Yin Ashu said about Li Jiancheng's benevolence, Li Yuan didn't believe it.

A benevolent person would not call Dugu Lanruo and her mother a lowly maidservant behind their backs.

Even without the existence of Dugu Lanruo, Li Jiancheng would not take Liu Mu seriously. In Li Jiancheng's eyes, Liu Mu is just a small villager, which is not worth mentioning.

However, the country of the Tang Dynasty is the country built by these green forests, poor students, and rural people who have made great achievements.These people who were originally looked down upon by the powerful have become upstarts.

It seems that there is no reason for everything.

Li Yuan sighed heavily, leaned on the bed and pressed his forehead, and fell asleep with the help of the alcohol just now.

Liu Mu will now run to the pier of the Jinghe River to go back by boat.

He knew that Dugu Lanruo would definitely not celebrate the New Year at the Jinghe Wharf, after all, his Zhuangzi was only a few miles away from the Jinghe Wharf by the river.

There are boats waiting at the pier.

Liu Mu boarded the boat and told him to go home, but after a tiring day, he fell asleep while sitting on the boat. When he arrived at the small pier in Jingyang Zhuangzi, the boatman did not wake Liu Mu, but pulled the boat to the pier and tied it tightly, and then asked someone to guard him. with.

When Liu Mu woke up, it was already the time when Dugu Lanruo was going to go again and arrived at the market at Jinghe Wharf.

Dugu Lanruo also didn't wake Liu Mu up at the small pier in Jingyang Zhuangzi, so she sat next to Liu Mu and kept watch.It wasn't until the Jinghe wharf that the boat hit the wharf that Liu Mu was awakened.

"Oh, ma'am?"

"Sleeping on the boat is better than on the bed, or is there someone to accompany you at night?" Dugu Lanruo purposely kept a straight face.

Liu Mu hurriedly looked at himself, the clothes were still in good condition.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Lanruo covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid my husband has worked hard, and I don't even know that this boat has gone back and forth."

Liu Mu opened the curtains, and it was already bright outside.

"No, I'm still very sleepy. I need to find a quiet place to have a good sleep again. What's your plan for today, madam?"

"Second sister-in-law wants to pick a mink fur, and I will accompany second sister-in-law to pick it out. Then I invited many people to watch the ball game, and then there is a small banquet. After the small banquet is over, it is probably time to go home. Second sister-in-law will also go tonight Go to Zhuangzi." Dugu Lanruo told Liu Mu the arrangements for the whole day.

Liu Mu stretched his waist: "I'm so happy, I'm going to find a place to sleep."

Dugu Lanruo tugged on Liu Mu's collar: "Let Baoqin follow you, that's it."

"I..." Liu Muxin said that I was looking for a place to sleep, and asked Baoqin to follow suit.But he didn't say anything, because there must be a reason for Dugu Lanruo's special mention.I didn't say the reason, but I can't talk about it here. I believe Liu Mu and Dugu Lanruo have a tacit understanding on this point.

Jinghe wharf is the site of willows, so there are naturally places for willows to rest.

But when Liu Mu arrived at the place, he didn't rush to sleep, but sat in the outer room and waited until Ma Zhou arrived.

"Brother Ma, I have an errand here, so I might trouble you to work hard." After Liu Mu went up to meet Ma Zhou, he suddenly found that there was another person behind Ma Zhou, and Liu Mu knew who it was without taking off the cloak wrapped around his head: "Four Mother is here too."

"Some newcomers are on the stage today, so naturally they want to come and see." Ye Siniang bowed.

Liu Mu said: "It can't be like this in the future. Immediately be granted the title of Xiangjun and enjoy the official position of seventh-rank female history. Don't treat being an oiran as an errand, just have fun with it."

"For the last time, tomorrow I will change into the noble lady's clothes." Ye Siniang said with a smile.

Liu Mu said to Baoqin, "Greeting to our new village lord." Then he pulled Ma Zhou, "Come on, let's go into the house and talk."

Ma Zhou stepped aside at the door: "Your Majesty, I invite you first."

After the two entered the room, Baoqin asked Ye Siniang with a cold face: "You came in person."

Ye Siniang took out a bloody short knife from behind and handed it to Baoqin. Baoqin looked at the shape of the knife and immediately said, "This is a knife commonly used by Xiangzhou Jiang bandits."

"Yes." Ye Siniang nodded slightly: "They seem to be tired of work."

"Did you die?" Baoqin asked.

Ye Siniang shook her head: "No, it's not that we are ruthless, but that they seem to have risked their lives. If it wasn't for this knife, they might not be able to find out the history. Don't worry, it's not setting blame. They often walk on the river. People's feet are different from those who often run in the mountains."
