Entering Chang'an City, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin welcomed the new emperor, and the queen's eldest grandson Wujian welcomed Dugu Lanruo, who Li Shimin greeted was the Ministry of Rites did not give a clear text, which can be understood as welcoming the emperor, and it can also be understood as welcoming willow wood.

No one will explain this detail.

It's just that some people noticed that the eldest grandson Wujian accompanied Dugu Lanruo and the four sisters of the Liu family back to the Liu Mansion, that is, the original Prince's Mansion. And Liu Mu and Tang Emperor Li Shimin entered the palace directly.

As soon as he entered Li Shimin's study, Li Shimin said straight to the point: "What rewards, what titles and the like are thrown aside, those don't matter at all." The second brother is only concerned about one thing, when will the silver mountain start digging. ”

"Anytime." After Liu Mu gave a positive answer, Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief.

Liu Mu asked again: "Second brother seems to be under a lot of pressure?" ”

"It's not just big!" After Li Shimin answered, he motioned for Liu Mu to sit down first, and then ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and then no one was allowed to come and disturb him.

A quarter of an hour later, there was no one else in the study of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

The dish prepared was hot pot, which seemed to be prepared by Liu Mu before Li Shimin came back, and it would just be brought up.

Li Shimin poured a glass of cold wine for Liu Mu and said: "As far as the matter of Shijian Yinshan is concerned, although it must be kept secret, there are about fifty people in the court who know about it, and these people must be known. Even Cui Junsu, the head of the household department, proposed to let the second brother and I send the forbidden army to monitor him day and night. ”

"And then?" Yanagi asked.

Li Shimin laughed: "Since they are the second brother's courtiers, if they don't even have this trust, is it possible for them to become important ministers?" ”

"The second brother is wise."

"Not only did they not send people to monitor, but they also let these people know about the establishment of the Divine Guard, of course, Huayuan is still a forbidden area. The matter of the hidden guard also let them know that this is not a bad thing, but a good thing. ”

Hearing this, Liu Mu reminded: "Second brother, there is something you can listen to me." Shen Cewei is a double-edged sword, if the opening of monitoring hundreds of officials is opened, then it will make the officials panic and become incompatible with Shen Cewei. But having said that, if you don't monitor the officials, this thing is not easy to do. ”

"That's right, but there's no hurry, there's always a way. Let's solve the trouble in front of us first. ”

"Second brother, you say."

Li Shimin ate a piece of mutton with chopsticks unhurriedly before he spoke: "If you can't take Shijianshan, it's a big trouble." Now I heard you say that Iwamiyama can be excavated at any time, so the second brother's heart can be put down. ”

"They dare to force the palace?"

Hahaha!

Li Shimin laughed heartily a few times: "They dare." ”

Liu Mu also laughed, and Li Shimin said: "It's all for my Tang Dynasty, and the budget for next year's budget for the renovation of the canal alone is an astronomical amount, as well as the construction of four new canal wharves." The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household jointly put forward two proposals that I could not refuse. ”

"Surely it was a good thing?"

"It's a good thing indeed. One is to renovate the vegetation in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the other is to do our best to repair the 1,600-mile embankments of the Yellow River, including Luoyang and Zhengzhou, with stones and cement and a little steel bars in 15 years. Guarantee that the embankment will not be broken for a hundred years. ”

When Li Shimin said that he would not break the embankment for a hundred years, there was a kind of excitement in his tone, and there was also a kind of determination.

Liu Mu also understands that the Yellow River embankment can be said to have had problems every year since the Warring States period.

Datang wants to solve this problem permanently, and this courage is definitely commendable.

But.

What about money? It costs countless coins, and it takes countless labor, and the most troublesome thing is to transport cement from Huayuan, which is frightening to death.

Seeing that Liu Mu didn't answer, Li Shimin said again: "The Criminal Department also proposed a plan that would cost a lot of money, and the second brother couldn't refuse. ”

"That's a lot of money!"

Li Shimin smiled helplessly: "After the Criminal Department learned about the Shence Hidden Guard, they proposed to ask the Shence Hidden Guard to train a group of martial artists and arrest fast on their behalf. Shangshu Province agreed, but it was still stuck in the problem of coins. ”

Liu Mu said while looking for meatballs in the hot pot: "There are also the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Soldiers, and the Ministry of Officials." ”

"The Ministry of War didn't ask for it, it only said that when the Ministry of War needed to send troops to fight, Shangshu Province would support it."

"Old Du Gaoming."

Liu Muxin said that this unasked requirement is a big requirement.

"The request of the Ministry of Officials is also a trivial matter, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households jointly signed a proposal to slowly cancel the use of coins for professional fields and officials. The land was returned to the people, and trading was still prohibited, reducing the number of tenant farmers in the Tang Dynasty. This part of the food should also be reduced, and it will no longer be sealed, but replaced with coins. ”

Yanagi had a feeling when he heard this, and it seemed like a good thing.

The social structure of Datang is beginning to undergo some changes, and it is changing for the better.

Li Shimin continued: "Fiefdoms are hardly attractive except for grain. As for grain, the rice in Liaodong and the wheat flour in Bingzhou are more delicious than their own sorghum and corn. It's good not to ask for money directly, and then go to the market to buy it, and the market seems to be interesting. ”

"It's fun to have a bag of coins on your back and go shopping."

"Why. If your second sister-in-law doesn't go to Wutongfang a few times a month, she won't even be able to eat, and the people in the palace are most looking forward to a ten-day holiday per person, and nine out of ten people go to Wutongfang on this holiday. The second brother also went to Xindong City to go around, which was not finished yet, but it was really interesting, very interesting. ”

Liu Mu poured a glass of wine for Li Shimin: "Second brother, the sworn brother of Pharmacist Li and his wife, I met unexpectedly in the north of Wadao, and he made an oath with the affection of Pharmacist Li and his wife, but asked to do something to fight and kill. This plan is too complicated, and I need Fang and Du to help me. ”

"Wrong, such a major event is a matter of Shangshu Province. Shangshu Province added a yamen called the Military Division, headed by Ma Zhou, which was divided into two parts, one for military planning and one for political planning, or in the event of a major event in the battle of the whole country, the two divisions were combined into one. ”

"This is a good thing, then I will send someone to report the draft plan, and ask the second brother to give Zhang Zhongjian a trust in this matter."

Li Shimin said: "I see him, a real hero." He is a trouble in Datang, but he is indeed a masterpiece. ”

"I'm going to let it destroy the peninsula, so it's a complicated plan. My men couldn't perfect this plan at all, so I took them back to Chang'an. ”

"Well, there's no hurry. I didn't finish what I said just now, and finally it was the Ministry of Rites. I will hand over your printing workshop to the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites plans to build 1,000 Mongolian schools and 500 craftsman training camps in the Tang Dynasty. This required the printing of a large number of books, in fact, the printing technique of the printing workshop. ”

Li Shimin asked Liu Mu for something for the first time, and he didn't give any benefits.

Liu Mu agreed, without asking for half a word.
