Li Daliang was ashamed and sighed shamefully: "I have been working for these orphans for many years, and I think I have to work a lot. But after listening to your words, Fang Jue actually took the wrong path. You're right, as long as you can help these orphans, what's the point of criticism? Let them do it. It's ridiculous that I'm stupid and forty-four, and I can't even figure out such a simple truth. It can be seen that there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, not in terms of years. Squire, you are a transparent person by nature, so I might as well do it. ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Why are adults still touting me, how can I have adults say it so well." If you want to talk about the merits, I only recognize one. ”

"Oh?" It was the first time Li Daliang saw someone talking about his advantages, so he couldn't help but be curious, and said, "What is it?" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "There are only four words 'dare to think and dare to do', the lower official is from a humble background, and when he first came to Chang'an, he didn't understand any rules, and he didn't think about the consequences." Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so they do it when they think of it. Trusted by His Majesty, he has supported him to this day, and it is just a fluke. ”

"The squire is modest, just these four words, how many of the civil and military forces in the court can do it?" Li Daliang said, I don't know what I thought, drank the wine in the cup, and sighed.

Li Mu looked at him like this, and didn't continue to chat. Li Daliang was reluctant to work in the Ministry of Industry, and every day was a torment for him. The many grievances in my heart cannot be empathized with, and it is absolutely impossible to understand. Li Mu couldn't help with this kind of thing, so he could only talk less, so as not to arouse his sadness.

Those who work eat quickly. In less than half an hour, the tables were already in disarray. According to Li Mu's request, Yuwen Gui personally led people to supervise. Do not waste, each table clean up the dishes, chopsticks and plates, put them in the designated place, and someone is responsible for washing.

This little thing is not a big deal for the craftsmen at all. I just ate a banquet for nothing, and anyone can do this little work. The agents were amazed to see the craftsmen lining up in an orderly manner. In their minds, craftsmen are vulgar people, who know what etiquette rules and regulations, and the craftsmen they see now in the Ministry of Industry are very different from their impressions, which impresses them.

Of course, this is just curiosity, and businessmen are very realistic in their pursuit of profit. Coming to this banquet today, what interests them the most is the champion red. The three cups have been sold for some days, and people of their status have tasted it a few times. But this champion is red, but no one has ever seen it. The name sounds domineering, and with the impression of pouring three glasses, I already decided in my heart that this wine was not bad before I drank it.

Opened the wine jar and poured it into the bowl, the wine was actually red, and I was surprised and suddenly in my heart, it turned out that the red of the champion red is what it means. When you take a sip, the wine is not strong, rich and fragrant, and there is a hint of sweetness under the tasting, which is completely different from three glasses.

This is rice wine! I didn't expect that there is rice wine in Ba Shang Distillery, and this wine is so clear and mellow in taste, it is better than the rice wine on the market!

They also heard that today, there have been students from the Guozijian who have been threatening to say that Bashang Distillery will only brew the wine of 'reckless people'. It seems that after today, this rumor will be self-defeating. Rice wine is the wine of Confucianism, which has a long history, as early as the era of Confucius and Mencius, there was already rice wine. In the Analects and Mencius, rice wine is also mentioned many times. It is said that it has the character of "moderation", the gift of "benevolence and righteousness", and the virtue of "loyalty and filial piety". This champion red is the best in rice wine, and it can't be regarded as a 'reckless man'.

As soon as 'Champion Red' came out, he slapped the person who said these words in the face. The agents present, of course, understood.

It seems that this Zhulu Hou is really a person who will repay him.

Someone saw Huang Qi present and couldn't help but ask. But Huang Qi's mouth was very tight, without Li Mu's words, no one would know if he asked, and not a word was leaked. Everyone here also knew in their hearts that Bashang Liquor was in Li Ji's pocket, and no one dared to make up their minds, so they had to give up without asking for news.

But the three words of Zhuangyuanhong have remained in their hearts, and after today, the name of Zhuangyuanhong will be spread all over Chang'an through their mouths.

Li Mu hit this idea, otherwise how could he be willing to take out a jar of wine for these people to drink. Even if he accepted the gift, he was not so generous.

After the banquet, Yu Wengui sent these 'businessmen' away on behalf of Li Mu. The craftsmen are on holiday today, and they are all free today, and a few people went to the West Market together to buy some supplies for their new homes. The officials of each department returned to each department to convey the regulations of the Ministry of Industry dictated by Li Mu and recorded by Yu Wengui. Li Daliang knew everything and didn't say anything, this was the result he could expect, and it was also the result he wanted.

When Li Shimin consulted with him, he had already told him very clearly that his main role in staying in the Ministry of Industry was to sit in the Ministry of Industry, not to manage the Ministry of Industry. As long as Li Mu doesn't make a big mess, his task will be completed. After a few years, the Ministry of Industry was on the right track, and Li Mu became more and more mature, Li Shimin promised him that he would be transferred back to the Ministry of War and continue to lead the troops as he wished. This is all a matter that has been discussed, and Li Daliang will naturally not be dissatisfied.

Li Mu said goodbye to Li Daliang, got on the horse and planned to go home, just turned the horse's head, and before he arrived at the fangmen, he saw a carriage coming. He was very familiar with this carriage, and when he was assassinated in Tongshanfang that day, it was the owner of this carriage who saved his life. Li Mu hurriedly drove his horse to the front and said, "Sister Ou, why are you here?" ”

Wang Ou opened the curtain, saw that it was Li Mu, took off the veil, and said: "I saw from the Datang Daily that the Ministry of Industry moved to the government today, and I heard that many businessmen have gathered congratulatory gifts. Slaves are also merchants, how can they be left behind? They thought that the slave family was a female stream, so they didn't call together, so the slave family had to come by themselves. Can Master Hou give a face and accept the slave's heart? ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "Sister Ou is my life-saving benefactor, how can she be the same as those people." I won't accept the gift, what's the good thing, can I forget Sister Ou? Since Sister Ou is here, then I'll go back later and take you to take a walk around the Ministry of Industry? ”

Wang Ou pretended to be angry and said: "If the Hou Ye does not accept the congratulatory gifts from the slave family, he will be like those businessmen, and he will dislike the slave family as a woman." ”

"Then I'll take it." Li Mu said with a smile: "The Boling Cui family has sent a thousand taels of silver, if Sister Ou is less, I am not happy." ”

"Their thoughts, the slave family knows. The slave family didn't offend the Hou Ye, what did he do with such a big gift, but it was suspected of bribery. Wang Ou said, got down from the carriage, held a delicate wooden box in his hand, handed it to Li Mu on the horse, and said: "The slave family said, talk about the heart, the congratulatory gift is this, love or not." ”

Li Mu opened the box, and a fist-sized stone ball came into view, like jade but not jade, I don't know what it is. He picked up the stone, and a message came to mind.

[Night pearl (treasure), the stone essence in the mountain, the essence of heaven and earth, the aura of the sun and the moon, the day is like a star, and the night is like the moon. 】．

Wow, the pearl of the night!

Li Mu was shocked, he had heard of this thing, but he had never seen it. Although there were also stones that glowed at night in later generations, they were either painted with paint or fluorite, and he had never seen a real night pearl. Now that such a big fist is in front of me, it is really an eye-opener.

I don't know how much this thing is worth today, but since the system has given such a special label as (Treasure), it can't be cheaper. Li Mu couldn't help but have a reverie, what is the purpose of this Wang Ou who has tried his best to please himself several times? Do you really want the old cow to eat the tender grass?

Li Mu glanced at Wang Ou, he was on the horse, and he could just see a little ravine from a condescending angle, it was so deep, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, turned over and dismounted, and made a look like he had never seen the world, and said, "This stone ...... Why use it? ”

Wang Ou blinked and said, "It's not very useful, it can be used as a candle at night." ”

"Ahh Li Mu suddenly put the night pearl back in the box and handed it to Li Chongyi to hold: "That's still quite useful, and you can have a lot of money left over in a year." This gift is good, practical and inexpensive, and the intention has been reached. Or will Sister Ou choose gifts, they are too cheesy, except for money or money, this Hou Rijin is making money, what is the difference between them? I have to find an opportunity to tell them that I will give gifts in the future, just like Sister Ou, this kind of stone is very good, get a dozen or twenty, and I don't need to buy candles in my house! ”

Wang Ou didn't know if what he said was true or not, so he couldn't help but snort and said, "Master Hou, didn't you say that you would take the slave family to visit?" ”

"Ah, yes, let's go, I'll show you around." Seeing that Wang Ou was about to get into the carriage, Li Mu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Walking around, it's boring to take the car." ”

Wang Ou nodded and followed beside him.

This workshop has been under construction, and Yuwengui has always arranged for people to guard the door of the workshop, and ordinary people can't enter. Today, although the relocation of the Ministry of Industry has been completed, there is no one to guard it. But after all, the people are not very adaptable, and most people feel that the Ministry of Industry is the Ministry of Industry, after all, it is the Yamen, who will come to the Yamen without anything. So that there are few people on the street, and occasionally I see one or two, all of whom are craftsmen of the Ministry of Works.

Wang Ou also came to the workshop for the first time, and after taking a few steps, she noticed the difference. Except for the Ministry of Industry Yamen near the Fangmen, which is similar to the system of other yamen, all the other buildings are very simple, there is no difference, all grow into a look, the general size, boxy, that is, there is no spine beast, the tile is the tile, the wall is the wall, and it is very simple.

There is a sign hanging at the door, on which are written the word "Gongbufang", and below is an unintelligible symbol.

Wang Ou was so curious that he stopped, came to the door of a family, pointed to the sign and asked, "Master Hou, why does this sign exist in every family, and what does it do?" ”

Li Mu came to him and explained: "Simply put, it is a number, with this number, it is easier to find someone." Gongbu Fang, which means that this house belongs to Gongbu Fang. 2-13 means the second street of Gongbufang, the thirteenth household. Artisans are mostly illiterate, the symbols are simple and straightforward, and they are much easier to learn. I invented this set of symbols for the craftsmen to use. ”
