Zhang Chuchen talked about Liu Mu's situation and said: "Don't worry about this, sister, I don't bother to care." ”

Dugu Lanruo took Zhang Chuchen back to the palace and asked, "Sister doesn't care what your son is busy with?" ”

"Guess, so don't ask. The forbidden area in the Huayuan Forbidden Zone, there is no surprise that there is anything. De Jian didn't go home for three years, and Lao Dao's younger brother didn't go home for three years. I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about the small ones. ”

Zhang Chuchen said that the younger ones are his grandsons and Li Bi's sons.

There is a family area in the forbidden area, and life must be good, but I still miss Zhang Chuchen after not seeing Zhang Chuchen for three years.

She was waiting, she was waiting for Li Dejian to return, she was afraid that if she went, it would affect her son's belief that he gambled everything, and the man should do great things.

Dugu Lanruo didn't say anything more, and accompanied Zhang Chuchen to the main hall of the banquet.

At this time, in front of the gate of Taiji Palace.

The gate of Taiji Palace is not the Suzaku Gate, but the Chengtian Gate.

The Vermilion Bird Gate is the gate of the Imperial City, and the Chengtian Gate is the gate of the Taiji Palace.

It is rare to open the middle door several times a year, and it is really an infinite honor for ordinary people to enter the Taiji Palace through the middle gate.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Liu Mu asked for a horse from the forbidden army alone and sat on the side of the street about a hundred steps away from the Chengtian Gate, and the two rows of long houses behind him were the houses where the guards of the left and right prisons usually worked.

Originally, there were two rows of houses here for the left and right prison guards, the left and right Qianniu guards, the heads of the outer provinces of Menxia Province and the other provinces of Zhongshu Province.

At present, Datang no longer has Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, all of which have been merged into Shangshu Province.

The left and right Qianniu Wei was revoked half a year ago, and after everyone was assessed, the outstanding ones were sent to the Shence Wei training camp, the middle guard was promoted to one level, and the inferior ones were demoted to half a level and transferred to Tang Chang'an City Guard.

Yanagi was sitting outside, waiting for someone.

Wait for the craftsmen who came this time with the gold post, and take them into the Taiji Palace together.

Seeing that the formal banquet was about to begin, the two petty officials of the Ministry of Rites came to Chengtianmen with three people.

When the three saw Liu Mu, they hurriedly walked over.

Liu Mu got up and bowed to the two petty officials of the Ministry of Rites: "I was waiting here, but I was afraid that they didn't understand the rules." I was going to explain a few words in advance, presumably before the two of them brought them over, they should have said the rules of the palace. ”

The two petty officials didn't dare to accept Liu Mu's salute, and after retreating to the side, they said: "Liu Concubine, you think about it thoroughly, our Shangshu specially ordered the two of us to inform them of the rules of the palace, so we delayed some things." ”

"Hard work two."

"Don't dare, I'll wait to leave." After the two of them saluted, they walked outside the imperial city along the way they came.

The Ministry of Rites gave three places, but Liu Mu was not allowed to choose who to come, and the names of the three places given by the Ministry of Rites had already been written. It is said that it is three, but in fact it should be two and a half.

The three are Li Chun, a bridge craftsman, Tie Ah Da, a gunsmith, and Du Zichun, who is half a craftsman and half a farmer.

Du Zichun is half a craftsman, because the site selection and construction of vegetable greenhouses are all very profound technologies. Some people tried to spend a lot of money to buy glass and plan to build it themselves, but not many of them survived in winter.

In more serious cases, there are various accidents such as people working in the shed fainting, snow crushing the shed, and so on.

Liu Mu said to Du Zichun: "I heard that you have been promoted again?" ”

Du Zichun opened his mouth and replied: "Tuo Langjun's blessing, I am now the supervisor of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the reporting, construction, review, and acceptance of the greenhouse in Jingzhao Prefecture and County, and concurrently serves as the doctor of agronomy and winter seed in the lower school hall. ”

"I guess it's tiring." When Liu Mu heard so many things, he said in his heart that this can keep people busy until the end of the year, and I am afraid that there will be no days to rest.

Du Zichun is happy to live like this, after all, he has become an official official from an ordinary person.

has something to do, can do something, and is also respected a lot.

Liu Mu complained: "This Ministry of Rites can be regarded as coaxing me, but it is also considered to give me face." ”

"Lang Jun, this afternoon, an official gave me this." Tie Ah handed a small scroll to Liu Mu with both hands, and Liu Mu took it and looked at it, this is the appointment letter of the ministry. Shenwei, the Ordnance Superintendent of the Northern Capital under the Ministry of Consular Engineering, signed the order of the General Artillery Department, and he is still a seventh-grade official.

Look at the detailed instructions at the back of the reels.

This is the newly established Shenwei General Artillery Department, which is not established for the time being, and there is no need to listen to the investigation. plus two agents, as well as a number of petty officials of nine grades and non-grades, a total of sixteen people. The ministry has given money to so many people, what did they do before, and what they continue to do now. Fifteen people other than Tie Ah Da will let Tie Ah Da sign up, and then there will be an official document from the Ministry of Officials.

"Very good."

Liu Mu asked Li Chun again: "The Ministry of Industry doesn't give you an official, I feel that it should be six grades." ”

"It's six products, and after repairing the current Weihe Bridge, I will return to the Ministry of Engineering to take over, and there seems to be a new arrangement." Li Chun's age is not young, he was originally a small official who was not in the stream of the former Sui Ministry of Industry, and now Zheng Liupin is one step away from a senior official.

Liu Mu said: "Don't be in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Engineering, there is another bridge I need you to repair, this bridge is not ordinary." ”

"It must be repaired for Lang Jun." Li Chun is in fact a pure technician, and he likes to build bridges more than to be an official.

Liu Mu waved his hand: "Don't say that you will repair for me, in the future, you will say that you will repair for the Tang Dynasty and for the saints." This bridge was indeed built for a saint, my first railway bridge. ”

"Lang Jun pointed out, but what is a railway bridge?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly, I'll have a few more drinks later, after all, I'm an official, this is a good thing, it's a happy event."

The Tang Dynasty is no better than the braided dynasty of later generations, and the seven grades are as cheap as dogs.

The six Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty are only three grades, and the second and first grades are all glory levels, and there are grades without real power.

The three products are only three products, from the third product, and the four products are divided into four levels: the upper and lower of the positive four products, and the upper and lower grades of the four products.

In theory, the highest substantive official position in the Tang Dynasty is Shang Shuling, but because this official position has been done by Li Shimin, the actual highest official position at the moment is Xiao Yu and Fang Xuanling's subordinate positions from the second rank.

The military attache is the general of the guard, but these people have official positions but do not have direct soldiers.

Then came the Metropolitan Governor of the Foreign Guard, who was considered a real military attaché.

Therefore, Zheng Liupin is already one step away from the line of senior officials. Obviously, the officials of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the construction of bridges and roads, even higher than the generals' artillery.

After all, one is the people's livelihood, and the other is just war ordnance.

"Let's go, I'll go in with you. In the Taiji Palace, this is an honor, you don't need to give other people a salute one by one, just give the emperor and the saint a salute, just sit down and eat and drink, and at the end I will arrange someone to pack some for you to bring back, so that other people can also stick to a sticky joy. ”

"Thank you, Lang Jun." The three of them saluted together.

When they saw Chengtianmen, the three of them had a smile on their faces.
