Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 853 A blank sheet of paper

Liu Mu opened Changsun Wuji's letter but it was a completely blank piece of paper, and looked at it against the light, there was still no trace.

"Could it be a secret letter?" Liu Mu was very puzzled, what was it for Changsun Wuji to send a blank piece of paper.After thinking about it, Liu Mu said to himself confidently: "Everything is in silence?"

"Lang Jun is brilliant, this sentence will become a famous sentence through the ages."

Liu Mu laughed dryly, it seemed that he had guessed right.

Changsun Wuji thanked himself, so he gave himself this blank sheet of paper, which really meant that, any promises were not as real as this sheet of blank sheet of paper.

Ma Zhou reminded: "My lord, reciprocate. According to the arrangement in the palace, the eldest Sun Chong will marry Princess Changle in two years. There are still two years left. I think it would be good to be seconded to experience two years."

Liu Mu shook his head: "Chang Sunchong is an indifferent person, he likes calligraphy, painting and literature, and dislikes government affairs."

"Mr. Lang, the ninth rank outsider, patrolling the book."

Ma Zhou's suggestion moved Liu Mu's heart. This is a superstitious job, that is, the state government will send people to inspect the village every year, and do an inspection work on each school.

Liu Mu accepted: "Yes, you can make arrangements."

"Lang Jun, I need a letter written by you, just a few words." Ma Zhou reminded me.

Write something to Zhangsun Wuji, tell him that you send your son here, and I will give your son some meritorious deeds and a little reputation.

While Liu Mu was thinking, Ma Zhou had already written the content of the letter and handed it to Liu Mu.Liumu only needs to copy it once.

After copying the letter, Liu Mu asked Ma Zhou, "Are you staying here or going back?"

"Lang Jun, I will go to Yizhou after meeting the Queen of Yijun. You have someone who can help you with the matter here." Ma Zhou traced the names of seven of these students with his fingers while speaking.

Among the [-] bachelors, seven are the descendants of the gentry.

"Okay." Liu Mu didn't have any objection.

Liu Rengui and Niu Jinda arranged for someone to entertain the [-] students, and sent Ma Zhou on board the next day to leave.

In Xinjin Port, Liumu's fleet has only two ships, one is Liumu's boat and the other is a frigate.

Willow took only 42 people on board.

After the boat docked, Liu Mu was not in a hurry to get off the boat. He sent someone to see how many Goguryeo people were on the pier, how many officials from Goguryeo, especially whether the Yuan brothers were here.

On the boat, there were three people sitting on the tea table with Liu Mu.

They are Lu Chengqing, Xie Jiunian, and Xiao Qian.

These three people are considered to be the highest status among the gentry who came this time. Their family power is high, and their own status in the family is also high. All three of them are legitimate sons.

When Liu Mu first arrived in Datang, facing such a situation, he would definitely shout in his heart: it's not fair.

But not now.

900 people came, 230 of them were descendants of gentry families, accounting for one-third of the total number.

In fact, the poor students also think that they are inferior to the gentry in their hearts.

The first goal of the dreams of countless poor students in Datang is Ma Zhou.

As a poor family, Ma Zhou was an orphan since he was a child, and his family was poor, so it was impossible for Ma Zhou to have the chance to be recommended, and it was impossible for Ma Zhou to be the son of a famous scholar like Cui Yiye, who became an official at the seventh rank.

For a poor family, getting a second-rate product is already something worth celebrating.

And Ma Zhou is not considered a poor family now. After Ma Zhou's son reached the age of elementary school, the school he attended in Chang'an was only for the children of the lowest fifth-rank officials to have the opportunity to enroll.

Besides, the three people sitting with Liu Mu and drinking tea at this time are stronger than ordinary scholars.

They belong to the same kind of Cui Yiye, they are the sons of famous families, and they started as officials of the seventh rank when they became officials. They are not as deep as Cui Yiye, a family of five surnames, but they can be obtained from the seventh rank.

Cui Yiye, as the son of the five surnames, also chose to practice. His excellence is also due to the super-class education of the five surnames.

The three who drank tea with Liu Mu also received what can be said to be almost harsh education and training since childhood.

There are no official documents from the Ministry of Officials, and no one arranges their ranks.

After everyone on the ship reported their family, household, and concubine, these three naturally became the three with the highest status.He also became the leader of these 900 people.

Of course, there is another relationship, that is, Lu Chengqing is the son of five surnames, and Xie Xiao and Liu Mu are relatives.Xie Jiunian is Xie Xinger's cousin, and Xiao Qian is Xiao Linger's real brother.

This is Datang's fairness.

When Xie Jiunian was cleaning the teacups, the people sent by Liumu came back to report: "Mr. Lang, there have been some small incidents on the pier, and the low-ranking officials of Goguryeo have left one after another. Right now, the entire pier, except for two who are in charge of accounting, do not live on the pier. Besides, there are no Koguryo officials on the wharf, except for the small officials who are not under our control."

Liu Mu asked, "Where is the mining area?"

"If you go back to Lang Jun, someone has been sent to investigate, and there will be no news at noon the day after tomorrow at the earliest. The reason why the Goguryeo officials on the pier left was that it was too bitter, and the real reason is still under investigation. But the pier is busy. , this matter may have to wait another day or two."

Liu Mu nodded: "It's hard work, go down and rest. Let me think about it."

Xie Jiunian put down his cup and asked in a low voice, "My son-in-law, isn't this a good thing?"

Liu Mu didn't rush to answer, Lu Chengqing said: "It seems like a good thing, but making a decision before finding out the real reason is not the right choice."

After Lu Chengqing finished speaking, he got up: "Consort Liu, I request to bring someone to investigate this matter, within three days."

"Okay, you all go. Just one request, don't affect the normal work on the dock. Also, think about it for yourself during the investigation, are you here planning to lead a team to teach people to read, or go further, on your own."

The three saluted at the same time, but no one asked any more questions.

On the pier, there are 42 people here together with them. The 39 people except the three of them are actually divided into three teams, including five children from noble families and eight children from poor families.

These 24 children from poor families are all very good. After they left Chang'an, they competed in various ways on the ship, such as writing, poetry, arithmetic, scriptures and so on.

In addition to these twenty children from poor families, there are nearly a hundred people, all of whom are outstanding talents with their own strengths.

These were individually selected for recording.

Lu, Xie, and Xiao came to the pier but did not separate immediately. Xiao Qian said: "I dare not call Liu Concubine my brother-in-law, but my sister is a concubine. The three of us are on the same boat, and my sister sent someone to deliver a letter." Tell me, Concubine Liu has a starting line theory, which I think should be shared with the two of you."

"Please!" Lu Chengqing raised his hands and cupped his fists.

Xiao Qian said: "In the Shence Guard assessment, there is a ten-mile weight-carrying run. You should have heard of it."
