Chapter 843 Misplaced feelings
Li Mu is not a politician, and he really doesn't know how to deal with government affairs. But he doesn't have to worry about mistakes in the suggestions he put forward, because he has a thousand years of experience, he has seen history that has not happened yet, and he knows how history evolved. Perhaps a system is placed in the long river of history, and is not the optimal solution. But in the history that has been verified, when this system was born, it was the optimal solution at that time!
The local official system is also such a system. However, the system of real local official was born hundreds of years later, in the next dynasty, the Song Dynasty. Local officials, also known as chieftains, correspond to "repeated officials" appointed by the court. Repeated officials were promoted, and every three years was a small test, and every five years was a big test, and almost all were promoted or transferred, but local officials were not like that. They were born and raised here and would never leave for generations. After the Song Dynasty pacified the Nong Zhigao Uprising, they were appointed as local officials. From then on, local officials became one of the important means for the Central Plains dynasty to control the southwestern border. It was not until the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of "changing land and returning to transcendence" that they gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
From the hundreds of years to the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there has not been much change, which is enough to show that this system is in line with the trend of historical development.
A system has its advantages and disadvantages. The superiority of the local official system lies in the fact that in places where "eating is tasteless and discarding it is a pity", the court can implement a cost-effective rule of "minimum pay". In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and government orders of thousands of miles could not be understood. In addition, Central Plains culture and ethnic minority cultures are very different, and it is really difficult to integrate with each other. What the Central Plains dynasty wants is the dynasty of all countries and the peace of the world. The local official system can easily maintain this.
But the disadvantages are inevitable. Local officials have controlled power in the past dynasties, but in fact they are no different from the "Ancient Emperor". When the Central Plains dynasty is powerful, it is not much. If the Central Plains dynasty is weak, it will easily rise up.
But now, there is no need to worry about such things. Most of the time in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was overlord. At least before Li Mu died, the Tang Dynasty he could see was always "upward". As for what happened later, it was dead, no matter how heavy the flood was?
What Li Mu gave was the best solution for the court and Miaojiang at this stage. Not to mention Wang Ou, even if Changsun Wuji was here, he would not be able to find any fault.
The couple chatted for a while, took the child back to the room, and put it on the bed to sleep together. When the child woke up, Wang Ou fed the milk again, Li Mu lit a lamp, and wrote a secret copy to Li Shimin.
I always have to explain what happened here. Especially when Wang Ou gave birth to a daughter, Li Mu especially wanted Li Shimin to know about it.
Li Mu thought about why he felt this way. Showing up between love rivals? It seems that it is not. After all, Li Mu never regarded Li Shimin as a love rival. This feeling is very interesting. In Li Mu's subconscious, he did not regard Wang Ou as an elder, nor did he regard Li Shimin as a peer.
Although Wang Ou is much older than him, beautiful women are always privileged. This feeling is like... Li Mu recalled his junior high school years, and the Mission Princess was popular at that time. There are always people selling such self-adhesive characters near the school. I don’t know how many ignorant feelings are dedicated to Ziwei Jinsuo Xiaoyanzi. At that time, the age difference between him and these actors was also about 10 years old, but at that time he didn’t think there was anything unreasonable about ‘Wait for me to marry you when I grow up’.
The age difference will only be different after the years have their rings. However, beauty is always favored by the years, and they are also about thirty years old. Wang Ou’s face cannot find any trace of the years, only the charm brought by age. It seems that she is in her twenties. Li Mu lived to be twenty-eight years old before traveling through time. His psychological age is also thirty years younger, so naturally he will not feel that there is anything wrong.
Although Li Shimin was not much different from his age before time traveling, the two of them had a different age since their first meeting, and with the blessing of the "celebrity halo", Li Mu subconsciously regarded him as an elder and did not think anything was wrong.
It was not until Li Shimin learned that he liked Wang Ou that Li Mu began to conflict. But the feeling at that time was still, how could these two people get together? Li Shimin's old cow—
But in fact, they are the same people as the same age.
Now Wang Ou has given birth to his child. The so-called "brewed rice and rice are ready, and the general situation is settled. Li Mu has no worries. Tell Li Shimin that there is something that wants him to give up, but more of it is like telling the elder that there is such a thing.
After the private matter is finished, the main matter must be discussed. After this "service", Li Mu offended the "Liang Cui" to death. Although Cui clan Qinghe said in public that his eldest son and grandson died early, can he not know about Cui Yuzheng's life? Over the years, Cui Yuzheng has helped the Cui family openly and secretly. How many of the so-called Wang Ou's business are actually from the Cui family, and they know better than anyone else. Now that Cui Yuzheng is dead, how can they stop?
The Cui family of Boling is even more so. Cui Yuyan is the only descendant of the Cui family. He was sentenced to exile and could be robbed halfway. How much effort did he put into it? Now he is dead at the hands of Li Mu, and the Cui family of Boling has no descendants since then. Perhaps the huge family business will fall into the hands of the other branches. This hatred is truly "this hatred will last forever."
Although Li Mu said he didn't care, he had to consider more when he was with his family.
Things still have to be done, but the method needs to be clever. Before he does it, he must say hello to Li Shimin first. If there is anything, there will be preparations in advance. Otherwise, when we meet again, we will have to be criticized again.
About half an hour later, Li Mu finished writing the letter, a note of about a tiny inch, with fly heads on both sides, and in a dense manner. Li Mu tied the letter to the pigeon's legs and put the pigeon out before dawn.
After doing all this, he returned to the bedroom and the child had already fallen asleep again. Wang Ou had already warmed up the bed. When he saw Li Mu come back, he dressed him loosely. Li Mu hugged Wang Ou gently, looked at the child in the cradle next to him, and sighed softly.
Wang Ou heard him sigh and asked, "Are you worried about the affairs of the Cui family?"
"I'm not afraid of them." The couple had nothing to say, Li Mu said: "I can bear it when Cui Yuzheng died in my hands. But that's it, I'm afraid I can't give you a title."
"I didn't think about this at first." Wang Ou leaned against Li Mu's shoulder and rang out what he said in front of Qiaoqiao at that time, saying: "I came from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and I have two other families as the leader. I married Cui family in Qinghe, my parents' family and husband's family, and I am all famous families. No one can bear this face. Besides, I am still so much older than you-"
"You and I are already husband and wife, why do you want to talk about these?" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I must let you marry me openly. On the side of the Wang family in Taiyuan, I have already thought of a solution and am fully confident. However, on the side of the Cui family in Qinghe, I have no confidence after Cui Yuzheng died."
When Wang Ou heard Li Mu keep mentioning Cui Yuzheng, he felt a little mixed.
She was forced to marry Cui Yuzheng by her family. The two had never seen each other before. Even because Cui Yuzheng was sick since childhood, Wang Ou had never heard of such a person. She was reluctant to marry Cui Yuzheng. But this matter was not due to Cui Yuzheng, but the elders of the two families made the decision. He had no feelings for Cui Yuzheng, but he could not say anything about hatred.
Cui Yuzheng was in bed for a long time, so she didn't have to worry about what would happen. When Wang Ou first got married, she thought that she would just live her life. She was a wealthy family, and there were so many families in her family that she didn't have to take care of the patients. She read books and raised flowers every day. Why didn't she live?
Later, by chance, the two became a "symbiotic" relationship. Wang Ou had a reason to hate Cui Yuzheng, but she actually didn't hate Cui Yuzheng much. They were all miserable people in the world, so what's the point of coming and going? Besides, these things were not done by Cui Yuzheng, and she was not an ignorant person.
The real hatred for Cui Yuzheng started when Cui Yuzheng forced her to borrow seeds. Cui Yuzheng, who had been tortured by illness for many years and lived in a state of today or tomorrow, had already lived enough, and finally became perverted. But this hatred was offset after seeing Li Mu. On the contrary, Wang Ou was a little grateful to Cui Yuzheng. If it weren't for his forced, how could she meet her lover?
In fact, the matter between the two was just like Li Mu's misplaced Wang Ou and Li Shimin, Wang Ou never regarded Cui Yuzheng as her husband. So when she dated Li Mu, she did not feel guilty no matter what she did.
But Wang Ou actually knew in her heart what Cui Yuzheng felt about her.
The most unconcealable thing for people is feelings. Cui Yuzheng is not a naturally bad person. When the two got married, although Cui Yuzheng could no longer move, he still actively wanted to get close to Wang Ou. Wang Ou still remembers that he asked his servant to take out a stack of manuscripts and said that it was his essay when he was eight years old. It can be seen that it has the charm of the Two Kings. If his health has always been good, Cui Yuzheng might have become an outstanding talent.
Perhaps, she would gradually accept the arrangement of fate and be a couple with Cui Yuzheng who is "respected as guests".
Maybe, there will be nothing that happened later.
But maybe it was maybe, there was no such thing as a hindsight in life. She went from sympathy and pity to disgust and hatred for Cui Yuzheng. Now that he was dead, everything faded like a passing cloud.
What she values now is her husband around her and the sleeping children in her cradle. This is everything she really cares about as a woman.
"Husband,"
Li Mu was almost asleep while squinting. Wang Ou suddenly spoke. Li Mu responded in a daze and opened his eyelids: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
"I hand over all the business in my hands to the Cui family, maybe I can change it-"
"Hey," Li Mu hugged Wang Ou's shoulder and said, "I thought about it for a long time, what important things are there? People always beg me, so how can I ask others for help? I am worried that I can't be honest, but on the other hand, if not openly, who dares to talk about me? I am from the mud? Sooner or later, when they beg me, you might as well think slowly and wait slowly. We should live our lives, and we still have to beg them?"
Li Mu yawned and said, "Be good, sleep. I haven't had a serious sleep for several days. I have to do everything. Just take good care of the child."
"Um--" Wang Ou pursed her lips and had a lot to say, but Li Mu blocked her words, and she didn't know how to speak. After hesitating for a while, Wang Ou said, "Husband, I have some business, are you going to take care of me?"
"Oh, your husband, I have a net worth of one million. I don't need your little money. As for business, do it if you want to do it, and don't do it if you don't want to..."
"But my business is about a million yuan."
"A million is a hundred..." Li Mu suddenly sat up, looked at Wang Ou steadily, and said, "What did you say just now? Your business, too, millions of dollars?"
Wang Ou nodded and said, "Business has been expanding over the years, from east to east sea, west to Tubo, south to Qiongzhou, north to Xueyantuo, more or less, there are a little bit."
Li Mu was full of questions. He was not doubting Wang Ou, but thinking about how she did it.
Although Li Mu's voice is added, there are still a million. But can his situation be the same as Wang Ou?
"Oh, your husband, I have a net worth of one million. I don't need your little money. As for business, do it if you want to do it, and don't do it if you don't want to..."

"But my business is about a million yuan."
"A million is a hundred..." Li Mu suddenly sat up, looked at Wang Ou steadily, and said, "What did you say just now? Your business, too, millions of dollars?"
