After a big meal in the West Market, Li Mu did not rush home in a hurry, but went to the palace first. On the way to Xishi, he deliberately passed by the craftsman's workshop and got the statistical table of the personnel gap in the workshop that he ordered to count and cooperated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs from Wei Yingluo. He promised Li Shimin to give a reply within three days, and he would hand it in as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the shortage of workshop personnel in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone is as high as 50,000."

"Fifty thousand-" Li Shimin was also quite stunned when he saw this number. There is a way that there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. A gap of 50,000 yuan, how many workshops do you have to have? He had to re-examine Li Mu's work. Li Shimin originally thought that although Li Mu made a lot of noise, after all, it was a newly established yamen, and it would take at least a few years to see results, but he didn't expect that the Internal Affairs Office was now a place that affected the livelihood of tens of thousands of people.

But the Turkic tribes are more than that.

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Only 50,000 people are not enough......

"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this enough?" How many are the Turks? ”

"There are at least hundreds of thousands, even if you resettle one-tenth of them, there are 100,000 people......" Suddenly Li Shimin was stunned, his face turned red, and he suddenly thought of one thing, the workers Li Mu said meant labor. And the number of people he said includes the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. In other words, although Li Mu said 50,000 people, he actually had 50,000 households, and even if there were not so many, at least 30,000 households, that is, enough to accommodate 100,000 people, including the old and weak.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and thought in his heart, this kid didn't realize it, right?

Li Mu found Li Shimin peeking and was nervous, should I say it, or pretend to be stupid?

“……”

“……”

"Hahahaha......" / "Hahahaha......"

The two laughed awkwardly, and Li Shimin patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Aiqing understands, I am not very proficient in arithmetic - but it doesn't matter, with a person like Aiqing who is proficient in arithmetic, what else do I have to worry about?" I have decided, so I will do as you say, and tomorrow I will pass the decree. Hahaha, you have inadvertently made a great contribution to me, what a blessing for me, haha......"

Li Shimin spoke first because he recalled what Li Mu had just said, and he said, "Your Majesty, this is not enough?" How many are the Turks? This sentence has been exposed, indicating that he has realized it. Li Shimin didn't open his mouth again, and if Li Mu spoke first, he would inevitably be embarrassed.

It is better to embarrass yourself than to embarrass yourself, so Li Shimin spoke first.

But even so, Li Mu was a little dissatisfied, and what he was dissatisfied with was that what was called 'unintentionally' making great contributions? It's obvious that Lao Tzu is talented and intelligent, why did it become unintentional? Is it so hard to admit that others are good?

In the face of such a shameless boss, what else can Li Mu say? Only smile and express all MMP in your heart.

Li Shimin cleared his throat, diverted the topic very bluntly, and said, "That...... Today I have received a few twists and turns, and I have a lot of criticism about some of your actions. Li Shimin came to the desk, picked up a few folds and handed them to Li Mu, and said, "How do you explain?" ”

Li Mu took the fold, glanced at it casually, sneered, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times.

"Huh?" Li Shimin lowered his face and said, "What are you doing, I don't know if this is a twist, you are still stepping on it?" ”

"These are bullshit, not only do ministers want to trample on them, but they also want to throw them into the dung pit!" Li Mu's expression was hateful, his tone was sad and indignant, and he said, "Your Majesty, are they talking about human words? said that the minister was fraudulent, but the minister wanted to ask, where was the fraud? ”

"Let's start at the beginning!" Li Mu said angrily: "When I first mentioned the registration, they said that the ministers sold the official mantle, and at the same time, they paid money to sign up. When it was 100 times, it was not reported, and 200 times should be reported, saying that the registration fee would not be refunded. Is this a set behind the front of people? How do they have the face to say I'm a scam? Didn't I say that the registration fee is not refundable? ”

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Even if you make sense about the registration fee, but the way you eliminated it is also inappropriate, right?" ”

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know how the ministers were eliminated?" ”

"This ......" Li Shimin pointed to the fold on the ground and said, "The fold says corporal punishment, are they framing you?" ”

"Hmph." Li Mu said expressionlessly: "If you say so, it is not a frame-up." But the ministers had something to say, and they were incomplete. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I can't listen to it and believe it, you can say it." ”

"The first group of people eliminated by the ministers was not for corporal punishment, but for unpunctuality. The minister said that the next day when the Ministry of Industry gathered in front of the yamen, the minister arrived in advance, and waited for half an hour, until the hour, there were still people who did not arrive, did they put the minister in their eyes? The ministers are the marquis of the founding county from the three products of His Majesty, and the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the three products, they don't put the ministers in their eyes, and the ministers can not care, but they don't put His Majesty in their eyes, and the ministers can't bear it! ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin was a little confused, and thought to himself, what does this have to do with me?

Li Mu continued: "Is it wrong for the ministers to disqualify them because of this? ”

"Uh......"

Seeing Li Shimin's hesitation, Li Mu said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? The minister boldly asked His Majesty, if all the officials did not come on time when he went to court, and if he came at the hour and at noon, His Majesty would be able to tolerate it? ”

As soon as he said this, Li Shimin had a real feeling, his two thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he said: "You did the right thing, it is intolerable!" ”

"Let's talk about corporal punishment!" Li Mu was even more angry, and said: "Your Majesty, when the ministers recruit people, it is clear that the age of the person who signs up cannot be higher than thirty years old. In other words, people like Wang Qi who can't move their legs don't want it!"

Li Shimin's two eyebrows wrinkled again, and he secretly said in his heart, if you say something, just talk about it, Wang Jue recruited you to provoke you, what are you doing with a sentence? However, thinking of the previous incident of the printing supervisor, Li Mu and the three families had a very unpleasant quarrel, and they could understand it in their hearts. Li Mu's cautious eyes, Li Shimin has been taught, if he doesn't let him vent his anger, he will definitely not be finished.

“…… Let them run twenty miles! Twenty miles in two hours! Li Muqi said: "Just twenty miles, can it be regarded as corporal punishment?" Just pull a splash on the street, and you can walk back and forth in two hours! Guess what their grades are? Two hundred and eighty-eight people set off, and even half of them didn't qualify! ”

"This ......" Li Shimin exclaimed: "How is this possible?" ”

"Your Majesty thinks it's impossible?" Li Mu said speechlessly; "How dare the minister deceive Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the minister has a list in his hand, you let Gonggong Gao go and gather them, and run around to find out!"

Hearing Li Mu say this, Li Shimin had to believe it. He sighed and muttered, "I really didn't expect that these people's physical strength would be so poor. ”

"That's it!" Li Mu said hatefully: "Your Majesty, the minister recruited people this time to do things for Your Majesty." Instead of being like the group of dogs in the Imperial Tower, like a group of giant rats, occupying the pit and not, and keeping it for food-"

Li Shimin was disgusted for a while, and he couldn't help it, so he interrupted Li Mu and said: "Li Mu, I didn't mean to blame you, but when you speak, can you not be like this, it's really a bit vulgar." ”

"The minister is angry!" Li Mu said sadly: "Your Majesty, once upon a time, the minister was also a poet!" Haven't you been by them for being vulgar? In the past, when ministers wrote poems, they didn't have to think about it, but now they have to think about it. This group of bastards caused my Datang to almost lose a poet......"

"Okay, okay, you can stop." Li Shimin really has no way to take him, he is angry and funny. If it had been a different person and he was talking nonsense, Li Shimin would have punished him a long time ago. But Li Mu's situation is different, he said that he is a poet - he does have those two times, and he is not bragging. It's just that this kid has been busy with things lately, and I haven't seen any new works come out of him.

Li Shimin didn't want to entangle with him in this matter, so he changed the topic and asked: "Li Mu, I also care, and I don't mean to distrust you." I finally said a word for Uncle Guo, the eldest grandson of his family, Chong, is obese, you better stop torturing him, let him go home. ”

"Your Majesty, this minister can't agree."

Li Shimin frowned: "Don't you give me face?" ”

"It's because he doesn't want to." Li Mu smiled bitterly, and then he told the performance of Changsun Chong yesterday and today, and Li Shimin was also surprised when he heard it. As Changsun Chong's own uncle, he naturally saw Changsun Chong many times. The eldest grandson Chong and his son Li Tai are both huge fat of more than 200 catties, and it is a miracle that they can run down twenty miles.

Do you want to let the green finch try it?

This idea suddenly popped up in Li Shimin's mind, but he immediately denied it.

Forget it, Qingque doesn't expect to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Besides, this is his own son, how can he give it.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin didn't have anything to ask Li Mu, and was about to encourage him to step down. Suddenly, the door of the temple opened, and a fat figure squeezed in. said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and he could only squeeze in by opening two palace doors, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Tai?

"Ah, big brother is too!" Li Tai was just about to give a salute, when he suddenly saw Li Mu, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and he nodded to Li Mu first, and then saluted Li Shimin, saying, "Father, my sons and daughters have something to ask for." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, and then at Li Tai, and his heart beat a drum, could it be-

"What's the matter, you can tell it."

"Erchen heard about the matter of Xiaoyao Valley, and Erchen also wants to exercise."

"No way!" Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Li Mu vetoed, his head shook like a rattle, and he said continuously: "No, no, His Royal Highness King Yue, I must not agree, you still have to die." ”

Li Tai hurriedly grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and begged; "Big brother, why don't you agree? But did the younger brother do something wrong and annoy the eldest brother? ”

"Gee, it has nothing to do with any of that." Li Mu pulled away Li Tai's hand and said, "Are you light in the valley?" That's a terrible sin. If you go into the valley, you won't be able to endure that kind of suffering. But if I am harsh with others and tolerant of you, no one will be convinced. You'd better get involved and study your map in peace, okay? If there is anything you don't understand, I will still teach you, and I will not ignore you. ”

Li Shimin felt sorry for his son, and also said: "Yes, Qingque, you don't work in the Internal Affairs Office, why do you have to suffer?" ”

"Father!" Li Tai suddenly knelt down, Li Shimin was startled, and hurriedly went to help his baby son, but I don't know if Li Tai was too obese, or he didn't want to get up, so he didn't pull it, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said: "You kid, you have never been so stubborn, why is this?" ”

"Father, those people have suffered hardship, and the sons have heard about it. Since Erchen can come here, he is ready in his heart. Since my cousin can do it, my son must also be able to do it, after all, my son is lighter than my cousin. ”

I can't really see it.

Li Mu peeked at Li Tai and slandered in his heart.

"But ......" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's stubborn expression, and knew in his heart that if he strictly ordered to stop it. With Li Tai's personality, it can actually be stopped. But he must be unhappy in his heart, among the princes, Li Shimin dotes on Li Tai, far surpassing everyone, even Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince, is inferior. Li Tai's request, Li Shimin has not refused to agree, only this time......

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, the green finch is still so young and so ...... Fatty, can you give me a face and be a little more lenient with his requirements? ”

"I can't."

Li Mu's answer was crisp and neat, and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister means, it's better for King Yue not to go." But if King Yue insisted on flying away, the ministers could only treat him equally. He will be like others as he is, and if he can't stick to it, he will be eliminated, and he can't be accommodating. If the rules are changed because he is the prince, the minister will not be able to explain to the eliminated people. ”

When Li Tai heard this, his face immediately turned red with shame, and he said, "Father, don't give preferential treatment to your sons!" The son of the emperor is the son of the father, how can he be inferior to a man? Father, please rest assured, the sons will be able to persevere! ”

Li Shimin had a headache, and when he was uncertain, suddenly the door of the hall opened again, Li Chengqian rushed in, and when he saw Li Mu there, his eyes suddenly lit up, just like Li Tai.

"Big brother is also there? Great, Father, there's something going on with my son-"

"Shut up!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly and stretched out his hand to point to the door of the palace; "Li Mu, you hurry up. If you didn't have a call from me a few years ago, don't enter the palace! ”

"Oh......" Li Mu glanced at Li Tai and Li Chengqian, handed the two of them a look of self-begging, and turned to leave. The eyes of the two brothers followed Li Mu until the door of the temple was closed to cut off their sight, and then they withdrew their gaze.

"Oh, is that all I have to offer? Naturally attracted to bear children? ”

Li Mu sighed in self-pity, and suddenly heard a loud shout, and trembled with fright.

"Do you have any more humans! Especially you, Cheng Qian, you are the prince! The prince should live in the East Palace, you still want to go to the valley, you ......"

Li Mu shook his head, it seems that these brothers are no fun!
