Chang'an Wenyue Pavilion.

Ma Zhou came here after a period of the meeting, and Liu Mu was watching the performance on the stage with a little wine.

Ma Zhou told the court in detail.

Liu Muxin said, this Li Xiaogong is talented, and such an idea as the Beijing Office appeared in the era of Datang, which is too talented. It seems that Jiangnan is definitely the best person to put him in charge, and Xigang is located in Huating County.

(Note: I checked the information just now, and found that the magic capital was called Lou County in the early Tang Dynasty, and Huating was only available in the year of Tang Tianbao, but that's what it means, Huating County is a place name)

Seeing that Liu Mu was silent, Ma Zhou didn't know what Liu Mu was thinking, whether he wanted to be an official or not.

"The owner." Ma Zhou's voice made Liu Mu feel a little moved in his heart, but he heard Ma Zhou say again: "It's not appropriate for you to come out." Fortunately, the official does not belong to the courtiers at the moment, which can be regarded as a compromise plan. I know you don't care about the title or anything, so I asked for 30,000 elites for you to be called by the China and Hong Kong Shipping Division. ”

"Hiss......" 30,000 elites, these people are in the hands of Liu Mu, and they can do great things.

Moreover, the Ministry of Household also said that 20% of the share handed over to the Ministry of Household can be deducted as military expenses to return to the China and Hong Kong Shipping Division. Shangshu Province also said that there is really a big trouble, there is no need to carry it, the Datang Military Department is not something that anyone can underestimate, Datang has 500,000 elite troops, can fight, dare to fight, can fight! ”

Ma Zhou knew Liu Mu's character too well, and he was confident that he had successfully persuaded Liu Mu.

Sure enough, Liu Mu patted his thigh lightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, your head is better than mine." ”

Ma Zhou smiled indifferently, he never thought that he was more intelligent than Liu Mu. It's just that I am more familiar with officialdom and know how to survive in officialdom.

"Actually, I don't want to be an official, I'm just afraid. This official is too tired and tired. ”

"The envoy is not an official, in your own words, this is an armed chamber of commerce. And the Tang Dynasty Ministry did not officially recognize that the envoy was an official, but only received a corresponding identity according to the corresponding rank of the official, and he didn't even have a penny. In other words, it seems that no upper-level managers have paid money. ”

When Ma Zhou said this, Liu Mu laughed: "Who cares about the upper management, does he care about Yue Guogong?" ”

"This is not the end, this is not an official. It's what you yourself said, this is the Chamber of Arms. It's just that with you in charge, then there are some things in the court that are easy to discuss. ”

"Okay, listen to you. I'll go into the palace. Liu Mu got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ma Zhou: "Don't go, let them quarrel for the past two days, what the company wants to procure to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and the state capitals let them quarrel, and the quarrel is clear, as long as the numbers are not idle." ”

"Reasonable, then drink."

"Quit!" Ma Zhou actually quit drinking, which is really remarkable.

Ma Zhou is now a regular servant from the fourth grade, working in Shangshu Province, dealing with many important tasks, his wishes, his ambitions are fulfilled, and naturally he will no longer borrow alcohol to kill his sorrows, so he quit drinking.

"The most important thing you need to think about at the moment is that the main hall of the China and Hong Kong Shipping Company is placed there."

Yanagi asked, "Any good suggestions?" ”

"I don't suggest it, I can only remind you a few words. There is no prince in Datang at the moment, and the prince's mansion is empty. As soon as Ma Zhou finished speaking, Liu Mu shook his head frantically: "This is not good, very bad." ”

"There's still a vacant lot in Kaihuafang."

Liu Mu's head shook faster: "It's even worse, my eldest brother-in-law lives in Kaihuafang, Xiao Yu, the old man, lives in Kaihua Mansion, and Fang Xuanling lives in Kaihua Mansion......"

Kaihuafang is one of the key aristocratic areas of the Tang Dynasty, where naturally many nobles live.

On both sides of the Vermilion Bird Street outside the Suzaku Gate, close to the Sixteen Squares of the Imperial City, except for the Colonization Workshop, which was the place where flowers and grass were planted for the former Sui Imperial Palace, the rest are all aristocratic areas.

"Then there are ......"

As soon as Ma Zhou spoke, he saw that the door of Liu Mu's small box fell apart with a bang, and Liu Mu turned around and saw that Cheng Yanjin's raised foot had not been put down.

"Brother, you're not authentic." Cheng Yanjin sat opposite the willow wood with a big grin.

"Brother Cheng, you kicked my door in my territory, and even said that I am not authentic. I don't know where to reason about this, or let's go to my eldest brother-in-law's for a drink in the evening. ”

Cheng bit Jin Le smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers twice, and then hooked the guard standing outside the door with two fingers: "A few of you, go and prepare some good dishes for Lao Cheng and me, prepare a few bottles of good wine, and then repair this door." ”

The door is easy to repair, this is a push-pull screen door, as long as it is re-carded.

It's just that Cheng Biting Jinjin came over suddenly, there must be something, and it is estimated that he complained about himself a lot.

Sure enough, after the wine came up, Cheng Biting Jin said: "The old brother has guarded the transportation road for you for two years, the last Shuofang War didn't have anything to do with the old brother, and this time the Northern War didn't have anything to do with my brother. There's nothing going on with my brother in this Donggang. ”

"It is not suitable for you to fight in the Xigang Ship Division Feng Guogong, it is full of hot mountains and forests, and at the moment I am considering increasing the number of soldiers and horses from the eleven clans headed by Gu and Miao. Then I asked Duan Lun of Jiannan Province to help me persuade the 17 Tusi in the Queensland area to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight in the south. ”

"Destroy the Six Edicts?" Lao Cheng obviously understands the situation around Datang very well.

"I didn't say that the Six Edicts were based on the Tang Dynasty and claimed to be vassals. Just send someone to talk about the rules, since it is recognized as the land of Datang, then it must be in accordance with the laws and rules of Datang. ”

"What's the matter with no brother?" Lao Cheng's face was dark.

"How's the fruit cannon?" Yanagi asked with a smile.

"Okay, I heard that the power is amazing, and the main thing is not expensive." Lao Cheng had heard of that thing, and Li Ji gave him a very detailed explanation. The only thing that made Li Ji dissatisfied was that the canned tube cracked after only three shots, so Li Ji also told the process to bite the gold, and this canned tube is estimated to be only temporary, and there must be good things.

This time, without waiting for Cheng Yanjin to take the initiative to ask, Liu Mu said: "The wolf squatting small cannon is the complete version of the fruit cannon." There is a complete set of operation procedures and maintenance methods, a thousand doors open within 300 steps of grass is not good, a salvo only costs 40 to 100 yuan, expensive is not expensive. ”

"It's not expensive. It's not expensive at all, but how do you talk about these forty and one hundred? ”

"The fruit cannon kind of burlap bag exploded thunder, only ten cents at a time, you can ask for it. But the serious thing is iron-clad, and it explodes overhead with a snap, and that feels ...... Hey. ”

Liu Mu didn't continue to describe it, and Cheng Yanjin also understood that there was a difference between this cannonball.
