The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 356
The samurai sighed, with an inexplicable expression: "Your Majesty, this morning I received the newly-made steel from Xiaoyaohou. Although its quality is not as good as that of refined steel, it is still in good condition. It is perfect for making swords."

Li Shimin didn't answer. If the matter was really that simple, Samurai Xun would never propose to resign at this time.

Facts have proved that His Majesty Li Er's judgment is extremely correct. As expected, Lao Wu was raising first and then lowering, and his inexplicable expression quickly turned into pain: "But Your Majesty, what that bastard sent is a complete steel ingot. A steel ingot of a thousand catties, that thing I have thought of countless ways, but I just can't cut it, I can only watch a good piece of good steel, and just put it there. Your Majesty, the minister of the Ministry of Industry can't do it Now, you, you should fire the minister!"

The samurai cried out with snot and tears, and scolded Li Muyun bloody. If it wasn't because Shuozhou was too far away, Lao Wu would probably have gone to Shuozhou to find someone desperately.

Li Shimin already had some mental preparations, but after hearing the cries of the warrior Xun, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Since Li Muyun can make a whole piece of steel ingots, he can make small ones. The reason why he didn’t have it was because he was playing petty temper and trying to get angry with himself on purpose. Shangshu's warrior Xun.

After having such an idea, Li Shimin smiled and said to the warrior Xun: "Wu Aiqing, I already know about this matter, and I will issue a decree to warn Xiaoyaohou later that the next batch of steel ingots must be sent to him in small pieces. You What do you think?"

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, Wu Aiqing go back first, you are also an old courtier, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as a young man!" Li Shimin was afraid that the warrior would make some inappropriate request, so he interrupted the old Wu, and dismissed him hastily go out.

When the warrior Xun went out, the emperor slapped the table angrily: "It's really unreasonable, what on earth is Li Muyun going to do, does he really think that my steel sword is not good?!"

No one spoke, everyone hid aside, even Li Shimin's confidant eunuch hid far away.

Everyone present knows one thing, that is, Li Shimin's words are definitely just shouting and venting. After all, the "Sword of Heaven" is still in someone's hand. If His Majesty the Emperor is really angry, how could he not put the sword away? return.

The other thing is about the rumors between Changle and Li Muyun. God knows if this is true. If it is true, then this is a family matter between the old man and the uncle. The others are outsiders, so naturally there is no It is uncomfortable to have to get involved.

Sure enough, His Majesty the Great Emperor yelled for a long time, but in the end, there was a lot of thunder and rain, and he didn't even mention the issue of fines.

The eunuchs and maids who were watching were like mirrors in their hearts. This is totally not the way to treat courtiers. If ordinary ministers dared to do this, they would at least end up losing their jobs. As for Li Muyun, Just got scolded.

But what they don't know is that Li Muyun's treatment like this is due to being favored, but part of the reason is Li Yuan. After all, this kid is the godson of the old boss Li. Be ruthless, otherwise it will make my father unhappy.

Therefore, when it comes to issues that are large or small and do not involve principles, Li Shimin often treats them lightly and gives priority to warnings.

Of course, this also has something to do with Li Muyun basically not making big troubles. Except for the time he killed Han Ai, the things he did were basically small actions that made people laugh and cry. Constantly, there is no way to make people want to punish him.

However, Li Shimin is not unable to fix Li Muyun. After scolding him in the letter, the emperor felt a little puzzled again. He frowned and made up his mind, and issued another imperial decree: Li Muyun is in charge of the work-study program in Shuozhou, thank you!

When this imperial decree was announced, some people were happy and some were worried. The parents of those students were worried. You said that Chang’an would not let you stay. You had to go to Shuozhou. That place is located on the border. I heard that wars have been going on all year round. The children will still die if they go there. come back?
Those students are happy. It is said that every teenager has a great dream. Poetry and the distance are exactly what they are looking forward to. They did not expect to get all of them this time. It would be a lie if they said they were not happy.

As for Li Muyun, the protagonist of our story, no one cares what he thinks, Li Shimin doesn’t care, neither does the Changsun Emperor, let alone civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so this edict was not even issued by Zhongshu, so it was sent directly.

……

In Shuozhou, I don’t know when, the assassins made Mr. Li suddenly have a convulsion, and half of all the official roads in the whole government were sealed off.

Every day, countless shepherds from Xue Yantuo or Khitan took tools to open up the half of the closed road, and then found the so-called "roadbed" with earth and stone pads. After the roadbed was repaired, someone immediately used that kind of dust Cover it with something that doesn't matter, and then cover it with a straw curtain after smoothing it out.

No one knew exactly what the assassin Mr. Li was doing, but they all knew one thing, these foreigners who came to work were paid every day, at least [-] to [-] Wen per person in a month.

This is not a small amount. After all, the Tang Doumi at this time is only four or five coins, and two hundred coins can buy forty buckets of rice.

So three days before the project started, the gate of the government office was blocked by the people, and the angry people clamored to see Mr. Li, the assassin, and asked Mr. Li to give them an explanation.

Jiang Renbin and the others persuaded him several times but failed to persuade him to go back. In the end, they had no choice but to find Li Muyun: "My lord, go out and have a look, the people have already started a disturbance, if you don't come forward, the matter may have to be controlled." Can't stop."

"Can't control it? What can't be controlled?" Li Muyun was burying his head in the pile of old papers and drawing something, when he saw Jiang Renbin sweating anxiously, he asked in amazement.

"My lord, the people think it's unfair that you would rather hire foreigners than let them participate in road construction, and the people also want to participate." Jiang Renbin explained.

Li Muyun looked Lao Jiang up and down: "Old Jiang, I said you are sick, right? You came to me for this matter? If the people want to participate, let them participate. No one said that they should not do it!"

"But, but didn't you say to use a foreign race?" Jiang Renbin said a little depressed.

"I meant using foreign races, but I didn't say only using foreign races. When we said this, we were afraid that the people would not want to do it. Now that they want to do it, let them join. It just happens to be quick. The road has been repaired." Li Muyun took one last look at Lao Jiang, then plunged his head into the pile of blueprints on the table, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, hurry up and get things done, anyone who wants to participate can let them come I’m going to sign up there, and then go to work.”
