The prince of motorcycles was frightened by Li Mu's tone, and only replied resignedly, Li Mu saw that the scare was almost over, and changed his words, and said: "There is one more thing, I have to say to you." ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

This decree is a secret decree. Do you know what that means? ”

The prince of the motorcycle was stunned for a moment, and said carefully: "Xiao Wang is dull, please show the Hou Ye." ”

Li Mu approached the prince of motorcycles and said, "You have also lived in Honglu Temple for a while, you should know how many envoys live in the guest house of Honglu Temple. You're good to have met me and done the job. Their affairs have not yet been settled. If you leak the news, you will not only cause trouble to Benhou, but also trouble to Your Majesty. Other envoys will use this as a basis to say that the Tang Dynasty favors Zhenla and ignores them in vain - do you want Your Majesty to bear such a notoriety? That's not human! ”

"How dare Xiao Wang!" The prince of motorcycles hurriedly said: "Thank you for your advice, Xiao Wang will definitely keep his mouth shut, and he will never reveal half a word to anyone." ”

Li Mu instructed again: "Not only the envoys who live in Honglu Temple can't reveal half a word, but they can't reveal half a word to anyone they meet along the way. The secret decree is the secret decree, except for you, who passed the decree, and the king of Funan, who received the decree, no one can read it. If it leaks out, it is a capital offense. Li Musen said: "The Jin Wuwei who goes with you will supervise your words and deeds, if you violate the rules." What the consequences are, you weigh it yourself. ”

The prince of the motorcycle was sweating when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Wang remembers the teachings of the Hou Ye and must abide by the rules." ”

"That's fine." Li Mu finished scaring him, and he started to think crookedly, there is a way that thieves are not empty, how can there be a white gang to help, and they have to make some benefits. He glanced at the Prince of Motorcycles and asked leisurely, "I heard that you broke away from the brigade with Hu Duolou and arrived in Chang'an ahead of schedule." This time, you Zhenla sent an embassy to meet Your Majesty, and you can't do such a big thing empty-handed, right? ”

The prince of Moto was stunned, and instantly thought of all kinds of rumors about the prince of Gaochang, comprehended it, and replied in a low voice: "How dare you come empty-handed, this time to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhenlat has prepared a heavy gift." There is a gift list...... "The motorcycle prince turned around and looked at Beard Duolou, who hurriedly took out the gift list from his arms and handed it to Li Mu.

Since they came out of the brigade, the motorcycle prince specially prepared a gift list, Li Mu looked through it, and his brows gradually furrowed. Compared with the wealthy Gaochang, this gift list of Zhenla Kingdom can be described as shabby. There was no yellow and white souvenir he wanted, just some strange things.

Sixteen rhinoceros, thirty-two white elephants, sixty-four court musicians, coconut bamboo, agarwood, yellow wax, cardamom, purple stem, and big wind seed oil......

It's all messy, it's really real, it's really a local specialty.

The prince of the motorcycle carefully paid attention to Li Mu's face, and when he saw that his face was sinking like water, he understood the reason in his heart, and said apologetically: "Master Hou, the small people of Zhenla Country are widows, and they have been oppressed by Funan Country all year round, which is really ...... These things are already the best things that Xiao Wang can bring out. Lord Hou, please rest assured, as long as this misfortune can be solved, the whole country of Zhenla will remember the grace of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and the next tribute will never be so shabby. ”

"What are you talking about!" Li Mu handed the gift list to Dugu Jiu, and the motorcycle prince was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything. Li Mu glanced at him and said, "You think I am trying to figure out your things?" Hmph, who doesn't know, Ben Hou is a happy little Langjun who helps others, and money is like dung in my eyes. Stinking! It stinks! The thing I hate the most is money, and the person I hate the most is the person who talks about money! Am I helping you for the people of the two countries, for the money? ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Hou is anxious for the reputation of justice and righteousness, Xiao Wang has already heard of it, so ...... this gift list?"

Li Muzheng Ling Ran said: "The country of Zhenla is critical, and if you go back one day earlier, the people will suffer one less day." Without further ado, I will arrange it as soon as possible, and strive to let you return in three days, and you will not have time to deal with these gifts. As a good friend, naturally I will do it for me. Coincidentally, Ben Hou Tian was the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of His Majesty's internal affairs. You can rest assured, not a single cent will be bad, although it is a little less, but after all, it is a heart of the whole country of Zhenla to my emperor, and this marquis will definitely convey it to Your Majesty truthfully. ”

"Ben Hou's character, can't you believe it?" Li Mu suddenly frowned and said, "Shouldn't you be planning to take the gift back, what's the matter, the matter is done, and the gift is reluctant?" ”

"How dare you!" The prince of the motorcycle hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "I don't dare to ask for it." If Master Hou is willing to help, it will naturally be excellent. Hou Ye's character, Xiao Wang is trustworthy for a hundred, a thousand can be trusted, thank you Hou Ye, thank you Hou Ye! ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Thank you for being exempt, Ben Hou is not asking for nothing." ”

The prince of motorcycles hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please speak, Xiao Wang's liver and brain are all on the ground, and it must be done for Master Hou." ”

"It's that seed, rice seed, I like it very much. Other seeds, also come some, Ben Hou just has this little hobby, just help me collect and collect seeds, and don't want ......anything else" Li Mu raised his eyelids, and asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Moto, Ben Hou wants you to order seeds, it can't be regarded as a bribe, you can't go to the imperial history to sue me, right?" ”

"How can this be considered a bribe!" The prince of the motorcycle said loudly: "Hou Ye's character is valuable, known to the world, it is obvious to all, if anyone dares to slander Hou Ye, Xiao Wang is the first to fight with him." ”

"Thank you very much!" Li Mu smiled, got up and patted the prince of motorcycles on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, the matter has been done for you, prepare to prepare, set off in three days, I will help you arrange it here, it's okay, it's okay if Benhou is tired, for the sake of the people." ”

"I'm tired of the marquis."

The prince of the motorcycle and the bearded Duolou respectfully sent Li Mu to the door, watched him leave, and then returned to the room. The prince of the motorcycle took up the decree and looked at it again and again, and was overjoyed. After many days of hard work, I finally got through. He held the decree tightly in his arms, and suddenly saw that the face of the bearded Duolou was sad, and he could not help but wonder, and asked, "Why are you so depressed and happy with such great joy?" ”

Bearded Duolou smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, haven't you heard the deep meaning in the words of the Marquis of Zhulu?" ”

"Meaning?" The Prince of Motorcycles wondered, "What is the meaning?" ”

"We didn't give any money."

"Money?" The Prince of Motorcycles frowned and said, "What does this have to do with money?" Didn't you hear Zhuluhou say that what he hates most is money...... Yes! He's talking the opposite! ”

"Alas!" Facing such a conscious prince, Hu Duolou was also tired, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have inquired that the prince of Gaochang went to find the Marquis of Zhulu to do something, and gave him two thousand catties of silver, totaling 20,000 yuan. We didn't give him anything, just some seeds, how can we satisfy his appetite? Today he did things for us, but he didn't get anything in return. There must be resentment in my heart, and I don't know if I will retaliate in the future. There is an old saying in the Central Plains, where blessings and misfortunes depend, and the old minister is worried. ”

"This ......" The Prince of Motorcycles also realized the crux of the problem, and worried, "What can I do about this?" I really don't have that much money in my hands now. ”

Bearded Duolou pondered for a while and said, "I can only wait for Zhenla to come back, and I'm trying to figure out how to make it up." The prince of Gao Chang gave him 20,000 guan, let's grit our teeth and give him 50,000 guan, maybe he won't be more rude than us this time. ”

"Hmm." The Prince of Motorcycles nodded and said; "You're right, 50,000 yuan, in exchange for real La tranquility, it's worth it! When I return to Zhenla, I will do my best to make up this money! You must not offend the Hou of the Deer because of money! In that way, in front of the Tang Emperor in the future, there will be no one to speak for Zhenla. ”

Bearded Dolou nodded, and the two of them found a wooden box and put away the holy decree. Then Hu Duolou stayed at the State Guest House to take care of the holy decree and pack his luggage, and the prince of motorcycles went to Xishi with a few retinues, and every envoy who arrived in Chang'an would make a big purchase when he left. Because Datang's goods are rare when they arrive in their country, there is a price difference of several times, so fools don't make money.

If it is operated properly, it may be possible to earn half of the 50,000 yuan given to Li Mu by purchasing it in the West Market. The national strength of the Zhenla country is weak, and there is such an opportunity, how can it be let go.

……

Coming out of the Honglu Temple, the three brothers first went to the Ministry of Industry, called the 200 people who were being eliminated in Jinyiwei and were maintaining the security of the craftsman's workshop, and then went straight to the suburban valley. Jinyiwei is currently stationed in the valley, firstly, because there is no suitable place to place them, and secondly, it is also to watch the pile. After all, there are a lot of things in the valley, and losing them is a loss.

In the valley, there are still many craftsmen at work. They all work for a day's money, but they don't like holidays. The New Year's festival has nothing to do with them, how can the poor have a New Year's Festival, that is, the difference between eating a meat meal. Now there is an opportunity to work and earn money, and who doesn't want to work a little more and earn a little more money.

On the students' side, there were also a lot of people. On the first day, there were only three or five people from the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Pu, and the next day, there were more than twenty more people who received the news. One thing they all have in common is that they are slower learners. Any craft, talent and hard work are indispensable. Talent is limited, but with more practice and practice makes perfect, there is always some improvement.

Li Chongyi went to reorganize the army, and Li Mu stood on the hillside, looking at the students from a distance, and was very relieved. He has high hopes for these students. But he has a strange temper, and the more he cares, the less he will talk about it. And Li Mu has believed in a truth from his previous life to today. Nothing can be forced, and if a person wants to achieve a certain achievement, he must work his own. Even if there is external persecution, he has become what he has been specified. If he is not convinced, sooner or later it will be a hidden danger. And most of the talents who are often forced out are mediocre.
