Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 588 The Grain Ship Has Arrived
When the boat stopped, Gao Hu jumped off the boat to salute Li Shimin.

"A sage. The chief minister, the captain, the captain, and the guard general Gao Hu."

"Where's Liu Mu?" Li Shimin called Liu Mu by his name.

Gao Hu replied: "Saint, the son-in-law has already disembarked at the east side of the city. He said that he will go to the fields in the east of the city first to have a look, and then return directly to Chang'an City from the south of the city."

"Come on, tell Prince Consort Liu to come to the Tai Chi Hall immediately." Li Shimin asked Gao Hu after ordering, "How much food do you have?"

"Returning to the saint, according to the plan, from the day of departure to the end of September, a total of 500 million shi of grain will be shipped to Chang'an. My shipping department envoy has official documents to send to Shangshu province."

Li Shimin asked someone to take the official document Gao Hu was holding in both hands, and opened it immediately after receiving it.

The more he watched Li Shimin's adoption, the more he wrinkled, and then he handed over the official document to Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu also frowned when he saw it.

"Saint, this matter..." Xiao Yu hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Evil!"

Asking Xiao Yu to comment with a wicked word, all the officials who followed were also heartbroken.

"No hurry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials will make arrangements. First, give each family in each county in Guanzhong a grain of grain. , and then send young and strong people to Chang'an to transport grain."

"Yes!" After saluting, the three ministers signed a document with Gao Hu to receive the grain.

Only then did Fang Xuanling get Liu Mu's official document, and Cui Junsu also came over to take a look.

The first sentence is, what does the grain household department borrow and repay, and what the people borrow and repay.

Cui Junsu's heart twitched. What Liu Mu said was not pleasant, but it was true. It was a miracle that Liu Mu raised so much food, and Liu Mu's food did not fall from the world.

After Li Shimin returned to the palace, he didn't go back to the study but went directly into the harem.

When he came to Changsun Wugou's place, Li Shimin began to scold him directly: "You bastard Liumu, he gave the officials a blow before he even entered Chang'an. He asked me, what should the Ministry of Household give him back for 500 million shi rice, or It is to let the people pay back, what do the people have to pay back. Doesn’t he know, save me, the second brother, some snacks.”

"Is there a way for Erlang to make up 500 million shi rice in a short time?"

Changsun Wugou's rhetorical question answered Li Shimin's question.

Li Shimin immediately changed his expression. He couldn't take this topic anymore, and said immediately: "I didn't come to your palace yesterday, and I forgot to tell you a happy event. Lan Ruo is happy. Listening to Shu Bao, it seems that there are still some people in Jiangnan." There are special rumors that willows can control the timing of a woman's birth, and even increase the chance of having a boy."

"That's true."

"You know, you actually know." Li Shimin was very surprised.

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded: "Before Mu and Lanruo left Chang'an, or more than a year or two years ago, they were preparing for this matter. Many Taoist seniors in the Medical Sacred Hall combined Mu's theory for a long time. To ensure the safety of women in Tang Dynasty during childbirth, improve the survival rate of children born, and improve the health rate of children born.”

"Is it really so miraculous?"

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded seriously again: "At that time, before they went to Lingnan, Lan Ruo told me that this set of books was prepared for my mother's ceremonies, and told me not to have another child within three years. There is a hidden problem. And that is, when that set of books is really usable, in my name as a queen, recruit female officials to set up the Datang Maternity and Baby Department, and promote it to the world."

"Good, good, good!" Li Shimin said three good things in a row.

This is indeed a great thing.

Promoting the name of the eldest grandson Wugou, that is, promoting the name of Li Shimin, also made a huge contribution to Datang.

"Lan Ruo has a magic weapon in her hand, the only one in her hand in the whole Tang Dynasty. It was Liumu who assembled three glass ghost craftsmen and two top Taoist alchemy masters. It took a month to make thousands of pieces, and only one was successful. "

"What kind of artifact?" Li Shimin became interested.

"The artifact is placed under the woman's armpit, and it changes every day. Only Liu Mu and Lan Ruo know about this change. Taking the palace as an example, if this artifact is given to a certain concubine, as long as she chooses the day when she will sleep, it will last for a year. I only saw Erlang once, and I will definitely conceive that night, and the chance of having a boy is more than [-]%."

Li Shimin was stunned, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason.

Because Li Shimin knows that everything made by Liu Mu can be explained by ghost craftsmanship, including the telescope, which has a set of magical skills theories.

The eldest grandson Wugou explained to Li Shimin: "I also have only a half-knowledge. I only know that the part of a man's kidney water that gives birth to a boy can only be effective within less than twelve hours, while the part of a woman's pregnancy can be within a few days. As long as it is accurate to that day, There will be a chance."

"Guanyin maidservant, this artifact is absolutely not allowed to be used in the palace. It is impossible for the palace to know what the two of us said today, otherwise there will be chaos. I am not afraid that they want a child, but I am afraid that someone will have bad intentions."

"I understand, so very few people know this secret, even the Taoist seniors of the Medical Sacred Hall..."

Li Shimin immediately asked: "Do they know?"

"No, the other part they know. When a person has a cold or fever, that artifact can measure how hot a person is."

"Guanyin's maidservant explained in detail."

"Lan Ruo told me that Mu said that water freezing is zero, and water boiling is one hundred. Using this as a theory, divide it into one hundred, then when a person is healthy and normal, it is 36 and one-half. More than 38 is Moderate fever, severe fever over forty, and life-threatening."

Speaking of this, Changsun Wugou said abruptly: "This concubine remembered it."

"Remember what?"

"Mu's arithmetic counts like this. That 36 and one-half, he called 36. Lan Ruo said that her normal body temperature is around 36, which is measured every day. When suddenly one day the temperature rises, no one will Fever, that day is definitely the best time to conceive a baby."

Li Shimin was so surprised that he didn't recover for a long time.

It never occurred to him that things like having a baby could be predicted.

The eldest grandson Wugou said again: "Lan Ruo mentioned before leaving Chang'an that Liu Mu would take her to a beautiful place on Wa Island. If there is no accident, she and Liu Mu will have a child this year."

"Unexpectedly..." Li Shimin didn't know how to evaluate it.

Li Shimin stood up abruptly, pushed open the door and went outside: "Come here, pass on my imperial decree, immediately send more people to bring Liu Concubine to the palace, immediately."

When the imperial army found Liu Mu, Liu Mu was in a temple in the south of the city.

The captain of the imperial army just saw Liu Mu at the window and signaled his subordinates to retreat: "Although the saint said urgently, wait a moment."

Inside the house, Liu Mu was talking to Master Mercy.
