Li Mu didn't know what he heard, which of these families is not deep-rooted, even if he begs Li Shimin to release a seven-grade county for his children, it is always possible to make an eight-grade county, and he doesn't even need to ask Li Shimin, there are thousands of relationships to get things done, why bother to play in the guard camp But Li Shimin's face was wrong, Li Mu didn't dare to ask again, so he could only respond with a sigh.
"Your Majesty, with the financial resources of your sons, you really can't afford to expand to 3,000 people, or you should expand it to 1,000 people first, and then find a way to expand it to 2,000 people in a year."
Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "You go back first, and there will be a will for you in the near future." ” "The sons obey the order, and the sons and daughters retire."
Li Shimin waved his hand casually, and then returned to the dragon chair and sat down.
After Li Mu left, Li Shimin suddenly asked Yuan Renguo in the corner: "What Li Mu said about the huge cost of the guard camp is true or false?"
Gonggong Yuan replied: "This matter is true, the slave maid heard that when the guards were just recruited, the pigs in Chang'an were all bought up by Li Jiazhuang, and Li Mu's guards ate pigs, mutton, milk and eggs every day, all in rations.
And every year there is a salary. ” Li Shimin nodded after hearing this and said: "No wonder those guards are all burly and strong, but this can't be popularized to all the armies of the Tang Dynasty, how can the imperial court have such financial resources to raise soldiers."
This kid is also messing around, how can there be such a soldier, I originally wanted to popularize Li Mu's method of training soldiers to the whole army, but I don't want this to be the result, hey. ” Yuan Renguo saw that Li Shimin's interest was not high, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty is too worried, from the perspective of slaves, although Li Mu only agreed to expand the number to 1,000 people, he also promised to expand the number to 2,000 people in a year, so thinking about it, he should have a solution."
At the very least, he can earn money to raise soldiers. ” Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, this kid is a good hand at making money, just this cement, he has earned 700,000 yuan for me in more than half a year, as well as steel, and now there is a mirror, it is simply a little stone into gold.
Hey, it's a pity that I'm just too young, otherwise let him take care of the state funds of the Tang Dynasty for me, and I think I can be much more relaxed.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's mood improved.
"This kid hehe."
Li Shimin mentioned that Li Mu had a feeling of raising his feet and wanting to kick, "If Datang has an army like 30,000 guard battalions, why worry about sweeping away Goryeo" "Intended."
On the way out of the palace, Li Mu's mood was very different from when he came.
When he came, he wanted to send money to Li Shimin, how could he drop Li Shimin, he should also say that he would not talk about restoring his title, but he would always have to be rewarded with something and a few words of encouragement.
I don't want to expand the guard battalion by myself, this kind of thing is not a joke, you must know that the guard battalion is just a private soldier, and I was originally a county, so it makes sense, but now it is cloth, so it is completely different.
What happened to the violation, he Li Shimin is happy now, no one dares to speak, but one day he is unhappy, and it will not be a general account No one in the Manchu Dynasty would fight against Li Shimin for himself.
Besides, Li Mu never thought of fighting on the battlefield in this life to fight for wealth and nobility, and the main thing to train this battalion guard is to give himself a talisman to deal with unexpected needs.
There are 500 people enough, except for Li Shimin, whoever wants to fight his own idea has to weigh it, if it really comes to Li Shimin to do it, even if it is ten times more, it is useless.
Besides, this guard battalion is really a money-burning machine, Li Muzhen has no plans to expand, at least not now.
But Li Shimin's will cannot be disobeyed, and the more important thing is that this is the appeal of various families, so it is strange, what are these people thinking in their heads, and they don't take the shortcut to promotion, they have to drill their own intestinal paths.
This can't make Li Mu categorically refuse, once he refuses, he will offend a large number of people, and erect a group of high-ranking enemies for himself for no reason, Li Mu naturally doesn't do this kind of thing.
But the unhappiness in the heart cannot be hidden.
Out of the palace, Li Mu saw that it was still early, so he did not go back to Zhuangzi directly, but went to the house of Anrenfang, which was given by Li Shimin.
When I came to Anrenfang, I saw the crowds of people in front of my house from a distance, and it was chaotic.
Li Mu thought something big had happened, and hurriedly sent him to check.
Soon the guards reported that the people in front of the house were from the Beijing family who came to worship and give gifts.
Li Mu instantly thought of what Li Shimin said about the expansion before, and he didn't feel a headache.
I thought it would be better to turn around as soon as possible and go back to Zhuangzi to hide Qingjing, not wanting that there were already sharp-eyed people who saw Li Mu's carriage.
"Mu Xianzi is back."
With a shout, everyone in front of the house rushed to Li Mu's carriage like a tide.
Li Mu was frightened, but fortunately, the guards were clever and quickly drove the carriage into the side door of the house and locked the group out.
Li Mu settled down and ordered all doors to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter.
But half an hour later, a servant came to report that the people gathered at the door not only did not disperse, but gathered more and more.
It's not a way to go on like this, Li Mu had no choice but to think of a crooked trick.
Ordered the guards to climb the courtyard wall and shout to the outside world, but anyone who gathers in front of the house today to give gifts will not take it when the guard camp recruits in the future.
Not to mention, as soon as these words came out, the effect was immediate, and the gift-givers, chariots and horses gathered in front of the door dispersed one after another.
The only thing that made Li Mu crazy was that these servants from various mansions left scolding and scolding, and there were all kinds of ugly words.
What "I don't understand the world", "I don't know how to be an official", "I'm a naughty boy who doesn't know how to be respectful and inferior", "The man in Lu County lives up to his name" and so on.
But Li Mu couldn't tell which family was scolding, so naturally he couldn't hold it back, so he could only hold back.
Just when Li Mu secretly regretted coming to the house, the servant came to pay respects, and another guest came to the door.
"Nope."
Li Mu's head grew when he heard this, and he did not hesitate to order to refuse to see him.
The servant cautiously explained, "Master, the person who came is from the Eldest Sun Mansion. ” When Li Mu heard this, he hurriedly took the greeting sticker and took a look, it turned out that the eldest grandson was rushing.
So he straightened his clothes and went out.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a mess outside the door, thinking that it was all kinds of garbage left behind by those gift-givers waiting for the time gauge.
There was an official sedan chair and a carriage parked not far away, seeing Li Mu go out, the attendant on the side of the sedan chair muttered a few words in the sedan chair, and a person got out of the sedan chair, Li Mu saw that it was the eldest grandson Chong.
"It turned out to be Brother Chong, please please."
"Brother Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and arched his hand at Li Mu, turned his hand and pointed to the garbage outside the door and asked, "Hey, how can Brother Mu be like this in front of the door?"
Li Mu smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, please go into the house and talk about it." ” The two entered the house and sat down in the main hall.
After the servants served the tea, Li Mucai explained: "When I entered the palace today, the emperor ordered me to expand the guard camp, and I wanted to come to the capital to hear about it. ” When the eldest grandson Chong heard this, he laughed and said: "Brother Mu too, this is a good thing, anyway, if you expand the guard battalion to recruit whoever is not recruited and accepted, you can also sell it to various families, why not do it."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "There are standards for recruiting recruits in the guard battalion, not whoever wants to come, these second-generation officials are used to being pampered, how can they withstand the hard work of training."
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong frowned slightly, did not answer, and hesitated.
Li Mu saw that the eldest grandson Chongxiang couldn't say something, and asked tentatively in his heart: "Brother Chong is here to find me something?"
The eldest grandson Chong quickly let go of his slightly lame brows and replied: "That's the case, Brother Mu was rewarded by the emperor for the house, and there was still a lack of people to call him in the family, so his father ordered the foolish brother to choose a few for Brother Mu and send them to him, and I hope that Brother Mu will not refuse." ” Li Mu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the eldest grandson Wuji was really intimate, and even his subordinates helped him prepare. hurriedly excused himself and said, "I understand my uncle's good intentions, but." ” The eldest grandson Chong quickly said: "Brother Mu, don't worry, these subordinates have been raised by the family since childhood, so they can ensure that you are handy, and besides, you have such a big house, it is not suitable to have some subordinates, it is not suitable to come in, call people in." ” Eldest Sun Chong didn't wait for Li Mu to agree, so he asked people to pick up people outside the door.
Li Mu listened to it, and it was right to think about it, so he didn't stop it.
After a while, four young girls and a middle-aged man in his thirties came in together.
"The slave has seen the master."
Li Mu looked at it, the four young girls spoke tactfully, spoke crisply, and looked free, at first glance, they were people who had been strictly trained, this was not comparable to the maids who spent money to buy them from outside.
Thinking about it like this, I quickly dispelled the idea of refusal.
"The villain has seen the master."
Li Mu turned his head when he heard this, and saw that the middle-aged man was bowing to him.
"Brother Chong, this is" The eldest grandson replied with a smile: "His name is Sun Fu, he grew up in his family since he was a child, and he originally served in his father's study. ” Li Mu understood, this is a domestic slave, at a glance, this Sun Fu has a calm face, his eyes are bright, at first glance he is a person who knows books and etiquette, and secretly praises in his heart that it is really a family, and a domestic slave is such an outstanding person.
There is really a lack of such a long-term follower around me.
So he smiled at Sun Fu and said: "There is a lack of someone around me who knows what to do, Sun Fu, if you want, be my long-term follower." ” Hearing this, Sun Fu knelt down on his knees and bowed: "If the master values it, the villain must bow to the best of his ability." ” Li Mu nodded, then turned to the eldest grandson Chong and said, "I also hope that Brother Chong will convey my thanks to my uncle on his behalf." ” "It's all my own family, Brother Mu is too polite."
The eldest grandson Chong looked like he wanted to speak and stopped holding.
Li Mu smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Looking at Brother Chong's color, I think it's not just about it, it's all about my own family, so there's no need to be polite, just say it." ” The eldest grandson smiled embarrassedly, plucked up his courage and said: "Actually, my father also has the intention of letting the children of the family enter the guard camp, I don't know Brother Mu." ” Li Muzhen is a little blind, the eldest grandson's family is a relative of the emperor, and the eldest grandson Wuji has the merit of following the dragon, if the children and nephews in the family want to enter the office, it can be said that the road is clear, why do they need to enter the guard camp:
