Super Smuggling System

Apart from being smaller than the Shoushanbo Mansion, the independent courtyard of the Hongyun Building is no different from the Shoushanbo Mansion, and the servants are all servants of the mansion.

The cooks of Hongyun Building also come from the mansion, and they are authentically inherited from Chef Zhang's craftsmanship, and every cook in the mansion, no matter whether they are in the mansion or come out, cook in Hongyun Building.

Or the cook who accompanied him must keep in mind the appetite and habits of the Sir in the mansion, so that the chef can prepare suitable dishes at any time when the Lord is staying in the Hongbin Building or is not in the mansion.

This point is strictly required by Meier, the head steward of Shoushanbo Mansion.

Standing in the central hall of the Hongyun Building, Li Mu walked back and forth, frowning, thinking about the news he got from Mei Er.

So shocked.

Li Mu did not expect such a big thing to happen in the half a year after leaving Datang.

"Mei'er, are you sure?" Li Mu, who still couldn't believe it, asked again, but after saying it again, he felt that the question was a bit redundant. It was impossible for Mei'er to deceive him.

But from a historical point of view, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, had to wait until the sixth year after the death of his grandson Wugou, because he was afraid that his younger brother Li Tai, who was also favored by Li Er and who had a heart for his wife, was trying to assassinate him. After failure.

Cai colluded with Li Yuanchang, the King of Han, Du He, Hou Junji, Princess Chengyang's son-in-law, and others, intending to start first to force troops to force the palace, but they underestimated Li Er, and eventually the matter was revealed early and ended.

That is to say, the information obtained from Meier shows that Li Chengqian forced the palace to advance two years.

What's more, Changsun Wugou didn't die in Zhenguan ten years according to historical records, and now he is still living in the harem because of Li Mu's intervention.

Li Mu couldn't figure out why Li Chengqian rebelled in advance, there should be his factors in it.

He changed the historical death trajectory of his eldest grandson Wugou, and indirectly moved the historical development trajectory of this plane, so he couldn't help thinking while walking back and forth.

If you look at it this way, you can draw an inaccurate conclusion, that is, because of his intervention in the history of the Datang plane, the time of historical events is accelerating.

Li Chengqian and Hou Jun meet in advance to force the palace.

"My maid confirmed that the letter was written by Lan Er in Chang'an." Mei Er handed the letter that Lan Er wrote to her to Li Mu.

Taking the letter from Meier's hand, he opened it and scanned the contents of the letter. The contents of the letter not only contained the matter of Li Chengqian forcing the palace.

There was also the matter of Li Er's assassination of Hou Junji, and the related personnel involved in Li Chengqian's forcing the palace, all of which suffered greater or lesser disasters.

Lan'er described the whole matter in the letter in great detail, which almost coincided with the historical data found by Li Mu. The only difference was that some details did not match.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Mu calmed down and said to himself, "It seems that history has really accelerated."

But this is not a bad thing, anyway, Li Mu and Li Chengqian have no friendship, he is very willing to see Li Chengqian staged a scene of forcing the palace.

In that way, Li Zhi would have a chance to become the prince.

After all, from the emotional point of view, Li Mu is still very willing to support Li Zhi to become the prince and ascend the throne of the Tang Dynasty, although there may be a generation of empress Wu Zetian in the end.

Then it's none of his business, it's Li Er's own family's business, even though everyone's surname is Li, Li Mu can only express that he can't help.

In addition to the news that Li Chengqian failed to force the palace and that Datang was going to change the prince, Li Mu also got a news that shocked him even more, that is.

There were large-scale locust plagues in the four and eighteen prefectures of the Tang Dynasty.

This news made Li Mu a little puzzled, because there was indeed a big locust plague during the Zhenguan period, but this locust plague occurred in the second year of Zhenguan.

Instead of the 14th year of chastity.

"Mei'er, are you sure there was no locust plague in Tang Dynasty before?" Li Mu asked Mei'er beside him again.

Hearing Li Mu's question, Mei'er recalled it hard, and replied with affirmation: "I confirm that since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a large locust plague."

Li Mu could clearly see that when Meier mentioned the locust plague, her body trembled a little, and there was panic in her eyes.

I understand that the ancients were very afraid of locusts. They believed that locust plagues were God's punishment for mankind and a warning to the emperor. Therefore, they often encountered locust plagues or natural disasters.

The emperor will always issue an edict of sin, which means to tell God that the emperor knows that he is wrong, and if he wants to punish him, he must punish the emperor alone, and don't hurt the people.

Li Mu remembered that in history, Li Er had issued more than [-] edicts against himself in his life.

Hugging Mei'er who was panicked by the locust plague, she patted her back lightly and said in relief, "Don't worry, it's just a locust plague."

Xu found comfort in Li Mu's arms, and Mei'er, who was no longer in panic, raised her little head and said thoughtfully, "But the master heard that there is a locust plague, there will be no food and many people will die."

"Haha." Hearing what Meier was worried about, Li Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "Then don't worry, your master brought a lot of food this time, enough to handle it."

"Since Sir Alex has a lot of food, why don't you lend me David to use it?"

Just about to take this opportunity to tease the Biren in her arms, she heard Wei Dayong's hearty laughter from outside the courtyard, and Mei'er hurriedly left Li Mu's arms after hearing the voice from outside the house.

Seeing Meier leave his arms, Li Mu, who was interrupted, saw Wei Dayong who had just entered and said angrily: "Your envoy is the capital of a state, why would you ask me to borrow food?"

"My lord just came back, so I didn't know something. There was a plague of locusts in the Great Tang Pass. The four eighteen prefectures will have no harvest this year. The Holy One issued an order to let all the states transfer grain to the pass to relieve the plague of locusts in the pass." Wei Dayong, who was completely immersed in the thoughts of raising food, did not hear any difference in Li Mu's tone.

But even if they heard it, they wouldn't care. I got the news of Li Mu's return in the governor's mansion today, and learned that this time Li Mu brought back a lot of food to the Tang Dynasty.

This made Wei Dayong, who was worried about how to raise food for the pass, instantly happy. Quanzhou is a mountainous place, and the grain output is very low, so it can only achieve self-sufficiency.

After receiving the imperial decree issued by the three provinces, Wei Dayong became worried for a while, and when he was worried, he heard that Li Mu had returned to Hong Kong and brought back a lot of food.

Hearing the news, Wei Dayong rushed to borrow food, and didn't consider that Li Mu had just returned to Datang and needed to rest.

Although Wei Dayong didn't hear the meaning in Li Mu's tone, Mei Er who was standing next to him did hear it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Mu rolling his eyes at Wei Dayong.

Hearing the laughter, Wei Dayong realized that there were other people in the room at this moment. When he saw that it was Meier, who was known as the chief manager of the Shoushanbo Mansion, the two were familiar with each other, so he said casually: "Meier It's there too."

Then he suddenly realized: "Look at me, Meier is here, compared to Sir, she already knows about the locust plague in Tang Dynasty."

Wei Dayong knew that the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce had branches in every prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, and this news was sometimes better than that of the Governor's Mansion.

Since he didn't need to explain himself anymore, Wei Dayong simply asked: "How about lending the grain to the governor's mansion, Sir?"

"It's okay to borrow, but what will the governor's office pay for it?" Li Mu asked.

"Use the part of the customs tax that belongs to the Governor's Mansion." Wei Dayong thought for a while, and only the customs tax can be used as mortgage.

"Yes, but I need to leave seeds for some grains." Originally, these grains were used by Li Mu for Wa Dao.

It turned out that Li Mu planned to exterminate all the grain on Wa Island, and then rely on this batch of grain to temporarily maintain Wa Island for a year, and then use the high-yield grain to plant in Datang.

Then the grain grown in the Tang Dynasty was transported to Wajima to supply the grain needs of Wajima, so as to achieve the purpose of completely controlling Wajima.

But judging from the current situation, the Wajima extermination plan can only be postponed.

Chapter 148 How to Promote

Under the verbal agreement between the two, Wei Da used the part of the tax revenue of the Customs Department belonging to the governor's mansion to mortgage the cost of the grain borrowed by Li Mu.

The reason why Wei Dayong dared to make such a decision alone without asking the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty for instructions was because the establishment of the Quanzhou Port Customs Department was just an organization jointly established by the Quanzhou Governor's Office and the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.
