Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 701
After Zhang Chuchen talked about Liu Mu's situation, he said, "Don't worry about it, I don't even bother with my sister."

Dugu Lanruo walked back to the palace with Zhang Chuchen on her arm, and asked as she walked, "Sister, don't you care what your son is up to?"

"You can guess, so don't ask. In the restricted area of ​​Huayuan, no matter what there is, it is not surprising. Dejian hasn't been home for three years, and the old brother hasn't been home for three years. I don't worry about them, but It's a small worry."

The youngest Zhang Chuchen mentioned were his grandson and Li Bi's son.

There is a family area in the restricted area, life must be good, but I still miss Zhang Chuchen after not seeing him for three years.

She is waiting, she is waiting for Li Dejian to come back with success, she is afraid that if she goes, it will affect her son's belief in gambling everything, and a man should do great things.

Dugu Lanruo didn't say anything else, and accompanied Zhang Chuchen to the main hall of the banquet.

At this time, in front of the gate of Tai Chi Palace.

The gate of Taiji Palace is not Suzaku Gate, but Chengtian Gate.

Suzaku Gate is the gate of the imperial city, and Chengtian Gate is the gate of Taiji Palace.

The middle gate is opened a few times a year, and it is a great honor for ordinary people to enter the Tai Chi Palace through the middle gate.

Outside Chengtian Gate, Liu Mu asked for a horse from the imperial guards alone and sat down on the side of the street about a hundred steps away from Chengtian Gate.

Originally, there were two rows of houses for the left and right prison gate guards, the left and right Qianniu guards, the outer head of Menxia Province, and the other provinces of Zhongshu Province.

Datang now no longer has Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, all of which have been merged into Shangshu Province.

Left and right Qianniu Guards were abolished half a year ago. After everyone was evaluated, the outstanding ones were sent to the Shence Guards training camp, the middle-ranked foreign guards were promoted to one level, and the lower-ranked guards were demoted by half a level to be incorporated into Tang Chang'an City Guards.

Liu Mu sat outside, waiting for someone.

Wait for the artisans who have gold stickers to come this time, and take them into the Tai Chi Palace together.

Seeing that the official banquet was about to start, two officials from the Ministry of Rites brought three people to Chengtian Gate.

When the three saw Liu Mu, they quickly walked over.

Liu Mu got up and bowed to the two officials from the Ministry of Rites: "I was waiting here because I was afraid that they would not understand the rules. I specially prepared to explain a few words in advance. Presumably the two of you should have talked about the rules in the palace before bringing them over. .”

The two junior officials didn't dare to accept Liu Mu's gift, they retreated to the side and returned the gift and said: "Your concubine Liu is very thoughtful, our Shang Shu specially ordered us two to tell them the rules of the palace, so we delayed some things."

"Work hard, you two."

"Don't dare, I'll take my leave." After saluting, the two walked out of the imperial city along the way they came.

The Ministry of Rites gave three places, but Liu Mu was not allowed to choose who to let. The three places given by the Ministry of Rites had already written their names.It is said to be three, but in fact it should be two and a half.

The three are Li Chun, a bridge builder, Tie Ada, a gunsmith, and Du Zichun, who is half a craftsman and half a farmer.

Du Zichun is considered half a craftsman, because the site selection and construction of vegetable greenhouses are all very advanced skills.Some people tried to spend huge sums of money to buy glass and plan to build it themselves, but as a result, not many vegetables survived the winter.

What's more serious, there are people working in the shed fainted, snow crushed the shed and other accidents.

Liu Mu said to Du Zichun: "I heard that you have been promoted again?"

Du Zichun opened his mouth and replied: "Thanks to Mr. Lang, I am now the supervisor of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the reporting, construction, review, and acceptance of greenhouses in various prefectures and counties in Jingzhao, and I am also a doctor of winter planting in Xiaxueguan."

"I guess it's quite tiring." Liu Mu heard so many things, and said in his heart that it would keep people busy all year long, and he might not even have a day of rest.

Du Zichun is happy to live like this, after all, he has become an official from an ordinary person.

If you have something to do, you can do it, and you are respected a lot.

Liu Mu complained: "This Ministry of Rites has coaxed me, but it's also considered to be giving me face."

"Lang Jun, an official gave me this this afternoon." Tie Ada handed a small scroll to Liu Mu with both hands, and Liu Mu took it to see that it was a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials.Under the Ministry of Industry, Beidu Ordnance Supervisor, General Shenwei, is still a seventh-rank official.

Look at the detailed description at the back of the scroll.

This is the newly established General Shenwei Artillery Department, and there is no need to establish an office for the time being, and there is no need to listen to it.In addition to the two ministers, as well as a number of ninth-rank and non-entertainment officials, there are a total of 16 people.The Ministry of Officials pays salaries to so many people, so what they did before will continue to do what they did now.For the 15 people other than Tie Ada, Tie Ada will be asked to sign up, and then there will be an official document from the Ministry of Officials.

"Good."

Liu Mu asked Li Chun again: "If the Ministry of Industry doesn't give you an official, I think it should be a sixth grade."

"It's the sixth rank. After the current Weihe Bridge is built, I will return to the Ministry of Industry to take charge. It seems that there is a new arrangement." Li Chun is not young anymore. One step away from senior officials.

Liu Mu said: "There is no rush to go to the Ministry of Industry, there is still a bridge I need you to repair, this bridge is not ordinary."

"It must be repaired for my lord." Li Chun is actually a pure technician, he likes building bridges more than being an official.

Liu Mu waved his hand: "Don't talk about building it for me. In the future, it will be built for the Tang Dynasty and for the saint. This bridge is indeed built for the saint. It is my first railway bridge."

"Lang Jun pointed out, but what is a railway bridge?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly later, I'll have a few more drinks later, after all, I'm an official, it's a good thing, it's a happy event."

The Great Tang Dynasty is no better than the braided dynasty of the later generations, the seventh rank is as cheap as a dog.

The six Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty are only the third rank, the second rank and the first rank are all honor levels, and those who have rank have no real power.

For the third rank, there are only genuine third rank and second rank, while fourth rank is divided into upper and lower ranks of genuine fourth rank, and four levels of upper and lower ranks from fourth rank.

In theory, the highest official position in the Tang Dynasty was Shangshuling, but because Li Shimin had held this official position, the actual highest official position at the moment is Xiao Yu and Fang Xuanling's second-rank servants.

The military officers are the generals of the guards, but these people have official positions but do not directly report to the soldiers.

Then there is the chief governor of the Outer Guards, who can be regarded as a real-time military attache.

Therefore, the sixth grade is already one step away from the line of senior officials.It is obvious that the officials of Tang Dynasty attached great importance to building bridges and roads, even higher than General Pao.

After all, one is people's livelihood, and the other is just war ordnance.

"Go, I'll go in with you. In the Taiji Hall, this is an honor. You don't need to greet other people one by one. You only need to greet the Supreme Emperor and the Holy One. Sit down and just eat and drink. In the end, I will arrange people I’ll pack some for you and take some back, so that others can also be happy.”

"Thank you sir." The three saluted together.

When they saw Chengtianmen, the three of them burst into smiles.
