Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 694 Fortune
After Li Shimin ordered everyone to leave, the officials saluted.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Li Shimin pointed at Qin Qiong at this time: "Shubao, you still have a year to recuperate. After eighteen months, I want you to go to the outside of the Great Wall with the army. I can't wait to see Jieli kneeling in front of me, or him head."

"I will not disgrace my life." Qin Qiong gave a big gift.

"If there are no accidents, this is the last time you will fight for Datang in your lifetime, so don't leave any regrets."

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness." Qin Qiong saluted again.

The important officials of Qin Qiong's situation all understand that it's not that his body is not recovering well, but that he can't be promoted or sealed.It is absolutely impossible for a foreign surname to be named a prince. Qin Qiong's county king is a kind of favor for the new emperor's ascension to the throne. Now Qin Qiong's final battle is to repay this favor.

After that, Qin Qiong served as the general who defended the country and protected the country, and guarded Chang'an until he was old.

After the death of the future, he will be added to the prince to show his honor.

Of course, if there is an accident.This accident is the ultimate national war that Datang needs to use the power of the whole country to launch. Whether it is offense or defense, everything will not follow the usual routine at that time.

This is also what the Tang emperor Li Shimin said. If there is no accident, this is Qin Qiong's last expedition for the Tang Dynasty.

After all the courtiers left, Baoqin also hurriedly left Liumu's study.

Only then did Li Shimin ask: "Are you planning to participate in the Northern Expedition next year? Father is definitely going, but he will not participate in military affairs, it is just a wish fulfilled."

"What am I going to do, for meritorious service?"

Li Shimin smiled: "That's true."

Liu Mu sighed heavily: "Second brother, you must have heard of the dragon horse on the grassland. To train such a horse requires a lot of preparation, and it may not be successful."

"kindness."

"This steam engine is more fierce than dragons and horses. There are countless preparations to be made to train the steam engine Tang. The most terrifying thing I haven't written down is that if wealth is gathered in the hands of a few people, the world will be in chaos."

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "You can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the second brother can't do it. Although this matter is a bit troublesome, there is a way to solve it."

"Really?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Wealth should be gathered in the hands of a few people. The second brother will explain this truth to you slowly when you have time, and now I will talk about the benefits brought by the quantification of this workshop. More than [-]% of wealth is gathered in the treasury, and [-]% In the hands of the royal family, famous families, famous families, and wealthy merchants, [-]% belongs to the common people."

"Ah!" Liu Mu didn't expect such an answer.

"I don't understand, it's okay. Second brother has plenty of time to explain it to you slowly. As you said just now, the most important thing right now is... New Year's Eve!"

Chinese New Year is a day for family reunion for ordinary people.

But for the top nobles, no.

It is a great honor to have an invitation to the Tai Chi Hall New Year's Eve Banquet on New Year's Eve.

Willow is no exception.

However, Liu Mu had other ideas: "Second brother, give me a few special invitations, I want to choose some ghost workers to attend the Tai Chi Hall's night banquet."

Li Shimin nodded, shook his head again and said to Liu Mu: "Second brother can't answer you about this matter, you just wait. If it is feasible, the Ministry of Rites will give you the document before noon tomorrow, if not, don't argue any more."

"Thank you, brother."

"Don't say thank you, the second brother understands your thoughts, but the courtiers may not understand, there are some things that need to be taken care of."

Li Shimin didn't let Liu Mu see him off, and walked to the palace by himself.

Walking to the original sealed door, Li Shimin shook his head involuntarily, then went straight out of Liumu Mansion and returned to the palace.

Li Shimin has never understood why Liu Mu sealed the door, no matter whether Liu Mu entered the palace or came here by himself, he had to go around in a big circle.

I don't mind being an emperor.

It seems that the people in the Ministry of Rites are also quite troublesome. For example, Liu Mu mentioned today that ghost workers should participate in the Tai Chi Palace banquet. As the emperor, Li Shimin dared not agree to this matter. He had to send someone to the Ministry of Rites to discuss it before giving Liu Mu a reply.

Liu Mu sat alone in the study, sorting out the manuscripts very calmly.

When Baoqin came in to tidy up with Liu Mu, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, the Ministry of Rites has given Wenyue Pavilion two places."

"Really?" Liu Mu suddenly turned to look at Baoqin.

Baoqin nodded: "Really, it was sent to Wenyue Pavilion this morning. It is estimated that Wenyue Pavilion is still discussing who will take these two places."

"Not a lottery?"

"No, how can such a big event draw lots. But there may be a martial arts competition, and Mr. Ma Zhou has already passed by himself."

Liu Mu was relieved to hear Ma Zhou passing by.

Ma Zhou will handle this matter better than Qin Qiong or Zhang Chuchen.

According to Qin Qiong, it is the simplest way to compare whose merits are higher.According to Zhang Chuchen's method is to fight, whoever wins will go.Ma Zhou must have a better way.

Baoqin said again: "Since there are two places for the Green Forest Ranger, I believe there will be two ghost workers."

"Two, that's a lot." Liu Mu was very emotional.

For the top aristocrats of Datang, craftsmen are inferior people. Now because various technologies have brought practical benefits to Datang, the status of craftsmen has also improved, but it is still far from the level of nobles.

That is to say, ghost workers, people who stand alone and have unpredictable skills, such talents barely get a little respect from the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Wenyue Pavilion.

Zhang Chuchen was here, just as Liu Mu guessed, her opinion was to slap her, not to slap her in the face, and whoever stands in the end will go.

Ma Zhou arrived, Ma Zhou had ignored the affairs of Wenyue Pavilion for almost a year, and after the new year he had a new position, as a deputy of Li Shimin's Documentary Department, leading an official position under the fourth rank, but still at the fifth rank.

Ma Yiwu, everyone laughed: "It's not yet the second day of junior high school, how come the son-in-law of Wenyue Pavilion came here early to pay New Year's greetings."

Many rangers are alone, and some come from famous families, but since they have entered the green forest, they don't plan to return to their family until they are successful and famous.

So Wenyue Pavilion is their home in a sense.

After Ma Zhou bowed his hands and saluted one by one, he asked his followers to put two boxes of wine on the table: "This is good wine. My wife heard the news, so I went to Prince Liu's mansion to ask for it myself."

Someone was going to grab the wine right away, Zhang Chuchen knocked on the table with a horsewhip, and the room fell silent in an instant.

Ma Zhou went to the front to salute Zhang Chuchen first, and then picked up two gilded documents, with which he could enter the Taiji Palace on New Year's Eve.There are two types of documents, one is bronzing and the other is silver plating.

Jin can enter the Taiji Hall, even if it is just a seat in the corner, it is already what countless people dream of.

Silver ones can enter the Taiji Palace, and there will be a banquet in front of the palace, which is the self-service buffet banquet pioneered by Liumu, but those who are qualified to come are not for food, but for a reputation.
