The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 328
But the facts proved that Li Muyun seemed to be thinking too much. After Li Shimin arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he didn't say anything to him. He simply nodded and entered the yamen, as if he had something else to do.On the contrary, a group of old guys in civil official clothes gave him cold eyebrows one by two, as if he owed these old guys how much money.

But fortunately, Li Muyun is thick-skinned, so he didn't care about these at all. As for that fat man, he was still deeply immersed in the excitement of earning two thousand coins, and he didn't even care what those old guys thought of him.

Fortunately, Tang Jian, an old guy, is kind. When he passed by Li Muyun, he waved to him: "Xiaoyaohou, come with me, and we will settle the money later."

Li Muyun, on the other hand, took advantage of the time when he was greeting Tang Jian, and lowered his voice to ask, "Uncle Tang, it's only two thousand coins. Is there any need to make such a big fuss?"

"Don't ask me about this, I still don't know what's going on here, those old guys suddenly asked to see the payment process of the Ministry of Civil Affairs this morning, and I couldn't disagree. " Tang Jian seemed to be a little helpless, patted Li Muyun on the shoulder, and gave him a self-seeking look.

What's the meaning?Don't even Tang Jian know?Li Muyun's heart 'thumped'.

But it's still the old saying just now, when he doesn't know the situation, he can only see what happens and adapt to the situation.

……

Following Tang Jian into the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he arrived at the main hall of the Yamen after a short walk. Li Shimin and others had already sat down inside, chatting about something.

Several large carts were parked in the square outside the main hall, and the carts were filled with boxes one after another. Obviously, it should be the money prepared for Li Muyun.

When it comes to this money, I have to mention it. In fact, there was already silver in circulation in the Tang Dynasty. However, although silver could be circulated at that time, its value was reflected in precious metals. Although the replacement ratio with copper coins will change.

In some cases, one tael of silver can even be exchanged for 1000 taels of copper coins, while in other cases it can only be exchanged for eight hundred coins. This price is not certain and will change at any time.

Therefore, in order to prevent his property from shrinking, Li Muyun knew that copper coins were inconvenient to transport, but he could only ask for this thing. After all, the Kaiyuan Tongbao in the early Tang Dynasty was as strong as the RMB in later generations, and it was more reliable than silver and gold.

By the way, Li Muyun saw that the money on those big carts was ready, so naturally he didn't want to delay any longer. After all, there were a group of old ghosts sitting in that room. God knows what medicine they sold in their gourds. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he took the initiative to treat Tang Jian said: "Tang Shangshu, since the money is already here, do you think I can withdraw the money and leave after signing?"

"That's right, Xiaoyaohou can just sign the account book." Naturally, Tang Jian didn't want Li Muyun to stay here any longer, and nodded as he said.

However, everyone said that they were afraid of anything, and when Li Muyun walked towards the little official holding the account book, a voice came from the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs: "Xiaoyaohou, two thousand coins, don't order at all. Want to take it away?"

"Uh..." Li Muyun glanced at the old man who came out, as if he didn't know him, but looking at his purple robe, he hesitated for a moment and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I'm afraid Mr. Tang is a little busy with official duties today. Naturally, it is inconvenient for the officer to bother you, but it is not too late to go back and count."

The old man didn't give Li Muyun any face at all, he said stubbornly: "How can it be done, this must be state money, if it is given too much, wouldn't it be a waste of people's fat and anointing."

Li Muyun didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so he didn't have the same experience as the old man, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials are also people who know the depths, if there are too many after the incident, they will definitely be sent back to Tang Shangshu."

In the end, the old man seemed to be on the shoulders with Li Muyun, and said with a chuckle: "Really? I don't believe it!"

Aiya, I go!This is the legendary finding fault, right? !The fire in Li Muyun's stomach burst out all at once, and he put away his smile and asked, "Then how should we deal with it according to your lord's wishes?"

"Please Xiaoyaohou check it out in person!" A guy guarding the cart came over, bypassed Tang Jian, came to Li Muyun, and said symbolically cupping his hands.

"Who are you?" Li Muyun glanced at the newly emerged guy. This guy doesn't even have the right to enter the house, so there's no need to be polite to him.

"Wai Lang, Meng Xian, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Jin Department." The man was arrogant, as if he didn't pay attention to Li Muyun at all.

"You mean to let me count all the money here bit by bit?" Li Muyun glanced at the big cars, and finally understood why so many people came here today. Guys are here to watch the fun.

You must know that the six departments of the Tang Dynasty are actually all in the outer city of the imperial palace, that is to say, if you want to enter the six departments, you have to enter the imperial city, so it is naturally impossible for Li Muyun to bring too many people with him when he came to raise money.

Under such circumstances, if Li Muyun wanted to count the [-] coins, he would have to go to the battle himself. No matter how fast he counted, he would inevitably make a fool of himself on the spot.

Li Muyun figured out the way to do it almost instantly, and countless "grass mud mothers" ran past him.

But right now the matter is here, Li Shimin is sitting in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs without saying a word, apparently also to watch the excitement, Li Muyun almost has no choice now, there are only two roads in front of him.

The first way is to count the money together with the fat man.

The second way, then there is no need to say anything, just leave, so as not to make a fool of yourself on the spot, but it also leaves a laughing stock for people.

It has to be said that cultural people are really ruthless when they cheat people, they are so relentless.

Although the fat man is heartless, it doesn't mean that he is a fool. After listening to Meng Xian's request by Li Muyun's side, his expression began to turn ugly, and he took a step forward to argue with him, but Li Da The killer quickly pressed it down, gave him a reassuring look, and said: "It's a good thing that the adults are so cautious. This is the attitude that should be done in work. Fatty, let's be respectful rather than obedient. Let's take a count." alright."

"What? Third, you..., why are you so stupid, they are obviously..."

Li Muyun held down the fat man again, squeezed his shoulders and said: "Several adults are in charge of public duties. This is responsible to the court and the people. It should be like this when dealing with money every day in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Otherwise, if here It's almost there, it's almost there, and in the end it's not the court and the people who suffer."
