I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 108 This world is still the world of young people after all!

Cai Guogong mansion.

Du Ruhui, who has recuperated for more than two years, can now get out of bed and move around freely.

Just stay at home all the time.

To put it bluntly, he was laid off.

After being laid off, Cai Guogong's mansion was once deserted.

I think back when Old Du was still the prime minister, the one in the gate was called Ruoshi!

It's a pity that people are leaving the tea to cool down now.

For a time, Lao Du was very disappointed and emotional.

Damn, isn't the old man stepping down from the position of Zaifu?As for being so realistic?

Therefore, he felt that even if the old man could not recover, he should at least find a way out for future generations.

So, one day, he brought his eldest son Du Gou to visit Li Mu's house.

"Li Jingyang, don't come here without any problems, I'm being polite!" Du Ruhui saluted with a smile.

Then he pointed to Du Gou next to him, "This is Du Gou, the dog."

This kid Du Gou was quite sensible, so he hurriedly saluted, "My nephew has met Duke Jingyang!"

Li Mu, who was busy drawing drawings at this moment, twitched the corner of his mouth and almost broke the pencil in his hand.

Why are you called uncle by a buddy who is about your age, can you calm down?
Obviously, Li Mu couldn't calm down.

Quickly helped Du Gou up, "Don't, don't, buddy, let's still be friends of the same generation!"

This time it was Du Gou's turn to twitch the corner of his mouth, he turned his head and glanced at his father Du Ruhui, meaning, Dad, what do you think?
Du Ruhui knew Li Mu quite well, and knew his temper, so he waved his hand and asked Du Gou to stand aside.

Then he continued to laugh and chat with Li Mu, "What is Li Jingyang doing?"

Li Mu pointed to the road design blueprints on the table, "Drawing the blueprints!"

"Draw the blueprint?"

"Ang, it's about building roads!"

"Oh."

Du Ruhui had a sloppy expression on his face. Although Lao Du was laid off, he was still well informed. He still knew a little about what happened in the court.

He has also heard about road construction. As the former prime minister of the empire, his vision is naturally not bad, and of course he can see the benefits in it.

So, today he came here with the cheek to get a share of the pie.

Many people think that road construction is just for public welfare, but some people can analyze the benefit chain from it.

Obviously, Du Ruhui is this kind of person.

So, he came here today.

"Li Jingyang! I came here today, one is to thank you, and the other is to find a career for my son. Please also invite Li Jingyang..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu stopped him, "Old Du, don't talk politely, we are old friends, I understand what you mean, don't worry, Brother Du's business is on my shoulders."

"I don't know what arrangements Li Jingyang has?"

"Denglai Navy."

When Lao Du heard this, his brows frowned immediately. It's so far away from Denglai, what lure can there be?
If he is still the prime minister, it would be a good choice to let his son go paddling in remote areas, get some seniority, and come back so he can be promoted.

If you are lucky, playing a few water bandits is also a golden opportunity.

But the key is that now that I have been laid off, it is better to find a lucrative position.

"Li Jingyang..."

"Old Du, listen to me, that's right, Denglai's land will be of great benefit in the future, don't worry, I won't cheat you."

Du Ruhui pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "What Li Jingyang meant was about shipping?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded, "Old Du, it's not just the benefits of shipping, maybe there will be a big contribution to receive at that time."

"What credit?"

"A land overseas!"

hiss……

Du Ruhui suddenly took a deep breath.

Why is this the rhythm of conquests overseas!
If this rhythm is played well, it is also a merit of opening up the frontier and expanding the territory!

Therefore, after Du Ruhui listened to Li Mu, he thanked Li Mu a thousand times, and insisted on pressing his son's head, so he almost kowtowed to Li Mu directly.

Li Mu was almost scared to death, he couldn't stand Du Gou's gift.

He hurried over to help Lao Du's son up.

Then he changed the subject and chatted with Lao Du about his official career.

"Old Du, do you want to go back and continue working as a civil servant?"

"Civil servant?"

"It is to be an official and serve the people."

Lao Du nodded, indicating that he could continue to shine for Datang.

But he also knew that it was a bit difficult. After all, he had been laid off for more than two years, and the position of Zaifu had already been taken by others, so there was no room for him.

Li Shimin had promised to give him the title of political affairs advisor, but that was false, and it translated to the meaning of re-employment consultant after retirement.

You can speak up, but it's hard to tell if people take it seriously.

Compared with the meeting when he was Zaifu before, it is simply a world of difference.

Therefore, Li Mu asked him if he would continue to be a civil servant, and of course he said yes!
Especially since I was laid off due to illness, from the previous crowded to the present cold.

Old Du's mentality has changed a lot.

Think about it in the past, for the country and the court, you will do your best and die.

Then, I almost exhausted myself to death.

Now, Lao Du thinks, why not seek some benefits for himself while benefiting the country and the court?
Therefore, this is also an important reason why he came to Li Mu today.

"Please ask Li Jingyang to clear up the old man's confusion." Du Ruhui asked sincerely.

"Don't dare to solve the confusion, it just happens that there is an opportunity in front of you, it depends on whether you can seize it, Lao Du?"

"Oh? Please enlighten me!"

"Liaodong."

"Liaodong?"

"Yes, Liaodong Koguryo, His Majesty has been watching for a long time, but he has not been able to find the right time."

"Li Jingyang means..."

"Someone needs to stand up to support His Majesty's use of troops against Goguryeo, and this person must be highly respected."

After hearing this, Lao Du was shocked.

Use soldiers in Goguryeo, what the hell, that place is a tiankeng where even Mr. Yang was killed!
First of all, this is a sensitive topic, whoever mentions it will die.

Unless it is proposed by a very high-ranking person, it will be directly attacked by the crowd.

That's why Li Mu said that he must be someone with high morals and high prestige.

Secondly, even if this matter is really promoted, the person who initiated it must be ready to take the blame at any time.

Once the battle is lost, then this person will have to bear the consciousness of being a scapegoat.

And this pot is likely to be the kind that will be carried for hundreds or even thousands of years.

In short, the price is high.

Of course, the greater the cost, the greater the reward.

If Lao Du dared to bet on this shop, let alone return to the position of Zaifu, it would be easy to keep the glory and wealth of three generations.

It's a double gain of fame and fortune!
but!
Want to gamble?
Li Mu looked at the troubled old Du, smiled and said, "Old Du, you might as well think about it slowly, don't worry, as for me, I have recently started some businesses in Hebei, which may be useful to Zheng Liao. You can come and inspect it when you have time, and then make a decision."

Looking at Li Mu's confident expression, Lao Du suddenly felt that he was getting old.

Alas, this world is the world of young people after all!
