Super Smuggling System

On the way here, he ordered a young eunuch to find Wei Zhongxian and ask him to wait in the Humble Administrator's Hall of Qianqing Palace.

"Wei Gong, prepare a complete set of carpenter's tools and send them to Deling to be buried with the late emperor."

Wei Zhongxian nodded without any doubt, "I understand."

After giving the order, Li Mu picked up a memorial on the Dragon Case, and read it when he saw that it was about disaster relief in Shaanxi. These memorials were submitted by the cabinet for the Empress Dowager to read.

The content of the memorial is very simple. It is nothing more than saying that with the cooperation of officials from Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, the northern governor of Jinyiwei successfully launched the disaster relief work in Shaanxi.

There is also how the people who have been rescued appreciate the imperial court and how they praise the Empress Dowager Yi'an as a living Bodhisattva. The most important point in this memorial highlights the hard work of the local officials.

Throwing the memorial back to the Dragon Case, Li Mu was too lazy to read the content of this kind of merit-earning memorial, but there is one thing to be satisfied with.

The Empress Dowager Yi'an, Zhang Yan, is in the hearts of the people in Shaanxi. After this catastrophe, she is steadily rising little by little.

Putting aside the content in the memorial, and looking back at Wei Zhongxian who was pouring tea, Li Mu asked, "What was the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall used for?"

"Back to the Lord, the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall was originally the place where the late emperor used to study woodwork. It has been abandoned since the late Emperor Longyu returned to heaven. I remember that there should be a lot of furniture in that hall." Wei Zhongxian explained, with some eyes Wondering why Li Mu thought of asking this?

He still doesn't know that Li Mu and Zhang Yan happened to enter the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall today.

Li Mu ordered: "Well, from now on, the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall does not have the order of my seat, so you are not allowed to enter it casually, especially those furniture are of great use."

"The old slave understands, and I will give the order in a while." Wei Zhongxian bowed to accept the order after pouring the tea.

Li Mu picked up the tea, thinking that it would be too monotonous to bring only Zhu Youxiao's furniture back to the original plane, and it's early now, so it's better to prepare some other things in advance, and take them with you when you need to go back.

Thinking about what Daming could bring with him, Li Mu asked Wei Zhongxian, "Jadeite, is there any in the palace?"

Emerald jade has a high value in the normal plane, and it is also valuable in the Daming plane. It should be a good item to bring jade back.

Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said, "Lord, there are some in the Emerald Palace, but not too many. If the Lord needs it, the old slave can ask Yongchang Mansion to pay a tribute."

"Yongchang Mansion? Does the origin of jadeite belong to the territory of Ming Dynasty?" Li Mu was very curious. In his impression, the origin of jadeite is all in Myanmar, but it is very close to the border of China.

Wei Zhongxian solved Li Mu's doubts: "Lord, most of the jade ores are produced in Menggong and Myitkyina. These two places have been under the jurisdiction of Yongchang Prefecture since the Wanli period."

I never expected that the main producing area of ​​emerald ore would be under the jurisdiction of Daming Yongchang Mansion, but how could this plane belong to Myanmar? I don’t understand.

However, this is also something that makes Li Mu happy.

In this way, the emerald ore he wanted, in other words, the imperial court ordered that Yongchang Mansion pay a tribute of a batch of high-quality emerald rough stones.

Just do it when you think about it, Li Mu ordered: "Duke Wei, in the name of the inner palace, asked Yongchang Mansion to pay a tribute to a batch of jadeite rough stones. After these rough stones are sent to the palace, I put them in the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall."

"Old slave obeys." Wei Zhongxian wrote down.

After finishing the matter of the emerald ore, Li Mu thought of another precious and scarce ore, of course it wasn't Tian Huangshi. There are still a lot of that stuff in the villa, and he still doesn't know how to get rid of it.

In the Ming plane, there is no need to get Tian Huangshi anymore. Among the four major seal stones in China, not only Tian Huangshi is precious and rare, but another kind of seal stone has also reached the point of extinction in the normal plane.

Anyway, in Daming, it is a matter of one sentence.

"Wei Gong, bring a batch of chicken blood stones as a tribute." After speaking, Li Mu picked up the tea poured by Wei Zhongxian, and took a sip of the warm tea in the cup.

Seeing that the tea in Li Mu's cup had gone down, Wei Zhongxian picked up the teapot on the dragon case again, added some tea into the cup, and said, "I'm sorry, old slave."

After adding water, Wei Zhongxian put the teapot away, and then said: "My lord, tell me about re-transcribing the "Yongle Dadian". The old slave has already asked Nandu to bring another part of the collection back to the capital. As for the part hidden in the capital, for the sake of To speed up the progress, the old slave asked people to start the transcription work first."

"That's right, just remember to send the original version to Renshou Palace." With the Osmanthus osmanthus Palace as the place for storing goods in the palace, Li Muben wanted to change the temporary storage place for the original version of "Yongle Dadian".

However, as soon as this idea came up, I gave up. Books are no more than other objects, as long as there is a place to store them, books are the most fragile things, and a little carelessness may cause damage.

In particular, the paper used for large-scale book making in ancient times may not be able to reach the level of the original plane in terms of production technology. For safety reasons, it is safer to store it in Renshou Palace and Zhang Yan's side.

The goods for the next return to the original plane were prepared in advance, and the transcription of the "Yongle Canon" was officially started. Li Mu was in a good mood. Seeing Wei Zhongxian standing aside, he thought that he had been away for nine months.

I remember when we were leaving, Wei Zhongxian said that his concubine in the eighth room had a baby, and I don't know what's going on now, whether he gave birth or not.

Sometimes it is still necessary to care about the slave, so as to reflect the importance the master attaches to the slave.

Out of curiosity, what kind of thing can Wei Zhongxian give birth to? Wrong, it should be a boy or a girl. Li Mu asked with a smile: "I remember when we left, Wei Gong said that your first baby The eight-bedroom concubine is happy, how can she settle for such a long time?"

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern." Wei Zhongxian didn't expect Li Mu to remember this, he was moved and bowed to thank him, and said with a smile on his face after getting up.

"In order to let the Lord know the happy event, the old slave's eighth concubine gave birth some time ago. Although the old slave gave birth to a baby girl, the old slave was very happy."

Can you be unhappy? Even though the baby is a girl this time, it doesn't mean that she will be a girl in the future. As long as Wei Zhongxian's penis is not destroyed, a boy will be born, and at worst, he will have a few more concubines.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's smiling thin faces crowded together, Li Mu also smiled, took off the white jade finger wrench from his hand and said, "Wei Gong, this is my gift to Wei Xiaoqian."

"It's impossible, Lord." Wei Zhongxian saw the white jade finger ring. Jade is a good jade, but it is not a rare thing. If he wants a white jade finger ring of the same quality, although he can't pull it into the house in a cart, That can be done in boxes.

The reason why he didn't dare to take it was that the finger was given by Li Mu, so the meaning inside was different.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to ask for it, Li Mu said impatiently: "Take it, this finger has my name on it, and give it to your little daughter. When she grows up, she can take this finger to me to exchange for something."

This can be regarded as Li Mu rewarding Wei Zhongxian in a disguised form. After all, no matter how loyal the slave is, he should be encouraged at ordinary times, so as not to chill the slave's heart.

"I thank the Lord for the reward, old slave." Hearing what Li Mu said, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to be negligent, knelt on the ground excitedly, raised his hand above his head, and took the white jade finger wrench just like he took the pill last time.

Just when there was a show of loyalty between Li Mu and Wei Zhongxian's master and slave, the gate of Qianqing palace was pushed in without order.

Chapter 254 The Battle of Liaodong

When Li Mu was alone in the Humble Administrator's Hall of the Qianqing Palace, there were only a handful of people in the palace who could open the door under the guard of the Eagle Guards. Other than that, only the Jinyi Guards and Ying Guards who were in charge of guarding the palace were qualified.

The door of the Humble Administrator's Hall was pushed open, causing Li Mu and Wei Zhongxian to look sideways, and saw an eagle guard who was guarding outside walking into the hall quickly.

The Eagle Guard arrived under the dragon case, held a memorial in both hands, and said respectfully: "Commander, this is the Liaodong battle report submitted by Jin Yiwei."

Hearing that it was Jin Yiwei's battle report about Liaodong, Li Mu immediately sat back on the dragon chair and ordered, "Send it up."

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian came to Yingwei quickly, took the memorial in his hand, walked carefully to the dragon case, handed the memorial to Li Mu, then took a step back and stood with his hands hanging beside him.

When Li Mu got the memorial, he waved the Yingwei to get up, and then opened the battle report that the Jinyiwei sent to the capital from Liaodong. Only the internal memorials of the Jinyiwei could be sent directly to him without going through the court.

If it is a memorial submitted by the Liaodong region, it must first pass through the Ministry of War and the cabinet, and then the Ministry of War and the cabinet will consider whether it is necessary to submit it upwards. If necessary, it will be sent to the Humble Administrator's Hall of Qianqing Palace for review. The cabinet will basically solve this step.

According to the regulations, Li Mu has no right to directly consult the memorials of the cabinet. If he wants to see the memorials of the cabinet, he can only see the memorials presented by the cabinet through Zhang Yan.

Of course, this is all in accordance with normal procedures. In fact, normal procedures are often the least effective rules when it comes to privileges.

In addition, Sun Chengzong, as the Liaodong economic strategist, is also qualified to directly submit the memorial to the emperor, that is, he can directly send it to the palace for the queen mother to read.

This memorial is a copy of Jinyiwei's internal intelligence system. As a royal eagle dog, Jinyiwei can send the memorial directly to the palace without the approval of the court.

Li Mu has always been concerned about the frontier defense of Liaodong. Since the case of the inspection of the eight Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, the Jinyiwei deployed on the front line of Liaodong in Shanhaiguan has not been removed, and has maintained the largest information acquisition system.
