Li Mu left with a third of the craftsmen, and when he left, he handed Yu Wengui a thousand yuan and asked him to be responsible for the purchase and preparation for the construction of the workshop. Yuwengui was about to talk to Li Mu in detail, but Li Mu didn't give him a chance, so Yuwengui had no choice but to find Li Daliang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works.

"Sir, don't you think this is nonsense? Thinking about one is one out, let's not talk about the grading of craftsmen for the time being. Those two principals were called by people from Zhao Guogong's mansion, and you all know the situation, Zhao Guogong's mansion employs people, do we dare not go? There is also the matter of building a workshop, he will build it after he takes the money...... Is this in order? The most ridiculous thing is that he wants to take the craftsmen to make money, and he goes to be a contractor in the Ministry of Labor, what kind of system is this! ”

When Li Daliang first heard it, he also frowned slightly, but after listening, especially when he looked at the map taken out by Yuwengui, where Chongren Fangfang had drawn a circle, his brows stretched again.

Although Li Daliang is an honest man, he can do the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and he must have something extraordinary. Although he had only met Li Mu once, he could also see that Li Mu was a shrewd person, such a person would never do stupid things. When he saw the circle on Chongrenfang, he knew it in his heart. As a waiter of the Ministry of Works, he knows every corner of Chang'an City well. The circle on Chongrenfang, he knew that it was a separate garden given by the emperor to Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County.

Just imagine, who can buy the royal garden from Li Xiaogong? What kind of identity could this person be able to let Lang Zhong of the dignified Ministry of Engineering take the risk of being impeached and undertake such a project?

Is it just that Longxi is rich? Li Daliang didn't believe it. Even if it is the Li family in Longxi, Li Xiaogong will not give this face easily. And even if Li Xiaogong gives face, Li Mu will not be stupid enough to take advantage of his official fortune for money.

In this way, things are clear. The reason why Li Mu didn't give Zhao Guogong face and took the risk of becoming a 'contractor' must be because he couldn't refuse. This reason can only come from the palace, either the emperor or the emperor! The things Li Mu said could not be his own attitude, someone must have instructed him to do so. The emperor doesn't ask about things, it's unlikely, it's mostly the emperor's intention.

But what is the reason for the emperor to do this? Is it a warning to the nobles to fake public welfare and private interests?

Li Daliang was a little uncertain, but what he could make clear was that he couldn't easily step into this troubled water. Otherwise, he would either offend a noble like the eldest grandson Wuji, or offend the emperor, and he couldn't afford to offend both sides.

With a plan in his heart, Li Daliang said slowly: "Yuwen Gui, what do you mean by talking to this official about these things?" ”

Yuwen Gui was a little confused, and said, "My lord......"

Li Daliang said sharply: "Li Mu is now the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Works, as a member of the Ministry of Works, you should assist him, instead of skipping the level to complain to the official!" Let me ask you, one of the three things Li Mu said is overstepping his authority? Whether it is the assessment of the level of craftsmen, the construction of the workshop, or the distribution of craftsmen, are they all within his authority? ”

"But this contractor ......"

"Say!" Li Daliang rebuked: "Although I haven't done this before, there is no rule that says you can't do this." Li Mu did this, it was his own idea, if there was a problem, it would be the officials to hold them accountable, what are you doing? You are a small member of the six-grade engineering department, just do your own thing, and you shouldn't worry about other things. I worry a lot, be careful like the king and Qian, who were thrown to the border by Li Mu to repair the city! ”

Get! As soon as Yu Wengui heard this, he understood everything in his heart. It's no wonder that Li Mu is so simple at a young age, no one will give face, there is power behind the dare to love people, and the dignified servants of the Ministry of Industry dare not provoke, and he is a member of the Ministry of Works, so he still has a heart, so he should do whatever he wants.

At that moment, Yuwen Gui didn't talk nonsense, Shi Li said goodbye, and someone carried the money given by Li Mu and went to the West Market to buy it.

Li Daliang saw Yu Wengui walking away, and he was still thinking in his heart. Although when he treated Yuwen Gui, he was on Li Mu's side, but he didn't think so in his heart. As the actual leader of the Ministry of Works, he must get things straight. And now, if you want to figure it out, you can only enter the palace to see Li Shimin.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Daliang took off the official uniform hanging on the wall and put it on, led the thin horse in the stable, said to his wife, and rushed to Miyagi.

On the other side, in Zhao Guogong's mansion, Steward Zhang, who was in charge of repairing the courtyard, also received the news and was furious.

To say that this Steward Zhang is still an old acquaintance of Li Mu. That day, he met with Li Mu in Dingxiang, and it was this Zhang Steward who wanted to buy the secret recipe for winemaking. A month ago, the eldest grandson Wuji remembered that he had served the Guogong Mansion for many years and was getting older, so he transferred him back to Chang'an for retirement. happened to encounter the matter of the Fuzhong Repair Yard, so it was handed over to him. In order to speed up the progress of the construction period, Steward Zhang left an impression of 'the sword is not old' in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then he found the Ministry of Engineering, and happened to meet Wang and Qian, the two people who wanted to hug their thighs, and the two sides hit it off, which is what happened today.

Wang Yuan and Qian Zhen, who were directing the work, heard that they had been assigned to the border to build a city for some reason, and immediately quit. Wang Yuan shouted: "What is he, I am waiting to help the Duke of Zhao Guofu." Zhao Guogong is the uncle of the country, even if His Majesty knows, I am afraid that he will not say anything. He pointed his fingers and got up, no, I want to find him a theory! ”

Qian Zhen was a little calmer than him, and said, "You go to theorize, what is theorizing?" He is Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, you and I are the head of the Ministry of Works, and he is in charge! And to study it in detail, it's also your fault with me, and he summoned twice, we didn't go, no matter how we say it's our lack of reason, for today's plan, we still have to ask Uncle Guo to come forward, otherwise you and I are afraid that we will have to go home to pack our luggage and prepare to leave! ”

When Wang Yuan heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Steward Zhang's arm and said, "Steward Zhang, now that something has happened, you can't ignore it!" I'm waiting to be entrusted by you, don't help for nothing, I've been working for a month, but don't get to the end, I don't have any credit, I even smashed my job, I can't do this! ”

Steward Zhang had a cold face, shook off Wang Yuan's hand, and said: "Don't make a fuss, since the two of you are working for my Zhao Guogong Mansion, naturally you will not let you suffer, wait here, I will go to see Uncle Guo." ”

After speaking, Steward Zhang hurriedly left. After about a stick of incense, the eldest grandson Wuji and Steward Zhang came out of the study together, Wang Yuan and Qian Zhen watched the eldest grandson Wuji get into the carriage and drive towards the direction of the imperial city, and hurriedly greeted Steward Zhang, and said, "Uncle Guo has entered the palace?" ”

Steward Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Uncle Guo was furious when he heard about this! What kind of deer marquis, dare to offend the majesty of my uncle and country, he is unlucky today! ”

Wang and Qian glanced at each other and laughed. In their minds, with the eldest grandson Wuji coming forward, everything must be worry-free. It's just a small county marquis, how can it be compared with the uncle of the dynasty? If you want to deal with him, isn't it a matter of Uncle Guo's words?
