Li Daliang let the two of them into the house and said a little embarrassedly: "The house is simple, and you will laugh, sit down, don't be too restrictive."

Li Mu looked at the furnishings in the house. It was really simple. There was a bamboo shelf on the north wall with books and official documents piled up on it. There was a table on the west side, a chair on the east side, and two Hu chairs on the south wall. There was a wooden wedge on the south wall, and Li Daliang's official uniform was hung on it. The whole house was up and down, and only this official uniform could support the scene, but it seemed that this official uniform was not worn frequently, and there were no wrinkles at all.

Li Mu and Wang Hu sat down as they were spoken, and Li Mu said: "Where is the saying of the lord? It is said that 'this is a humble house, but my virtue is full'. The lord's virtue is obvious to all, and those jokes are even more ridiculous."

"This is a humble room, but my virtue is full of virtue?" Li Daliang chewed this sentence carefully, clapped his hands and smiled, "Good words! Who said it?"

Li Mu opened his mouth and almost blurted out the words Liu Yuxi. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his head, feeling something was wrong. Liu Yuxi seemed to be from the late Tang Dynasty. Now who could recognize him when he mentioned it, he coughed awkwardly and said, "The border town proverb, I don't know who said it."

"It has a deep meaning, a deep meaning!" Li Daliang picked up the pen and wrote this sentence on the paper, saying, "A word tells everything in my heart. I am not alone." As he said, Li Daliang put down the pen and said, "When I went to court the day before yesterday, I had heard of your deeds. At a young age, I can make so many contributions, which is really a young talent. Since Your Majesty has arranged for you to serve in the Ministry of Works, you should work hard. Although the conditions of the Ministry of Works are not as good as the other five departments, it is also the key to the country. The responsibility is heavy and you cannot be careless. You should pay more attention."

Li Mu hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying, "I will not hide it from the Minister of the Secretariat. I only learned about the appointment yesterday. I really don't know much about the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Works. I hope the Minister of the Secretariat will solve the doubts."

"Of course," Li Daliang signaled Li Mu to sit down and said in a leisurely manner: "I will tell you again. The Ministry of Works is one of the six ministries, including: one Shangshu, the third rank; one Assistant, the fourth rank. The Ministry of Works is in charge of the mountain, marshal, the craftsmen, and the paper, pen and ink of various offices. There are four subjects: one is the Ministry of Works, the second is the Ministry of Works, the third is the Ministry of Works, the third is the Ministry of Works, and the fourth is the Ministry of Waters. Each department has one doctor, the fifth rank; one Yuanwailang, the sixth rank. The Ministry of Works is the head of the Ministry of Works, and the government orders for construction and the common affairs of the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works is in charge of the military field in the world. The Ministry of Works is in charge of the military field in the world. The Ministry of Works is in charge of Yuheng, the affairs of the mountain, and the affairs of the mountain, and the Ministry of Waters. The Ministry of Waters is in charge of the Sichuan and the ponds in the world, and the dams and ponds, which are used to guide the ditches and dams to break rivers and canals. The Ministry of Works has three chief officers, and the other departments have two chief officers, all of which are from the ninth rank."

After hearing Li Daliang say that, Li Mu took a breath of air conditioning. It turned out that this doctor in the Ministry of Works was the director of the Engineering Construction Department of the Tang Dynasty! If this were to be placed in later generations, he would have been such a big official and so fat. But look at the current Ministry of Works, why is the gap so big!

Li Daliang said again: "You are a doctor in the Ministry of Works, so you are naturally in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Works. Lord Duan Lunduan, the Minister of Works, does not directly manage the affairs of the Ministry of Works. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. The Ministry of Works is the head of the Four Ministry of Works, and you are also a county marquis. Now all the officials of the Ministry of Works are under you except me. However, the Four Ministry of Works are in charge of their respective duties. It is better to participate less in other matters except for the Ministry of Works."

Li Mu nodded and said, "The minister has written down the instructions of the minister. I wonder if the minister will come to the government office every day in the future, or..."

"Ah, you don't have to come every day. When you have something to do, you can just hand it over to the Ministry of Works Yuwen Rules. He is skilled in all matters of the Ministry of Works and will not make any mistakes." As he said that, Li Daliang handed a list of people who had prepared long ago to Li Mu, saying: "This contains the names and resumes of the officials of the Ministry of Works. When you go to the Ministry of Works and wait for a while, they will come to see you when they know you are here."

Li Mu closed the list and was about to ask his most curious question, which was why the official office of the Ministry of Works became so poor, suddenly there was a knock at the door, and someone shouted, "Sir, we are going to set off, so let's say goodbye."

"Come!" Li Daliang responded, turned around and took a box from the shelf, without avoiding Li Mu. He opened it in front of him and took out a few strings of copper coins from it. Li Mu looked at it and looked like three or five scoops. After taking out the money, there were still two or three scoops in the box. Li Daliang took the money and came to the door and opened it. Outside the door were more than ten craftsmen carrying packages. He handed the money to the leader and said, "Although this money is not much, it can be supplemented. Be careful all the way. After returning to your hometown, begging the literate person to write me a letter to let me know that you are all safe at home."

"Thank you, Mr. Mr. Mr., thank you, Mr. Mr., you are such a good person!" More than a dozen craftsmen knelt down and kowtowed. Li Daliang quickly moved aside and helped them up one by one, saying, "You have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to perform labor service. It's very hard and not easy. My meager intentions are nothing. Take it back, buy some grain, rice, seeds, and live a good life. I really can't afford it. It's getting late. Let's go quickly and leave!"

The craftsmen thanked again and again. Li Daliang kept sending it for hundreds of meters before returning. Li Mu understood a little why the Ministry of Works had no money. It turned out that the boss of the Ministry of Works was a philanthropist. The state did not give money to the corvee labor levyed by the state, so he took the money to subsidize himself... Alas! People must be a good person, but it is not a solution to this for a long time!

Li Mu kept the problem in his heart and said goodbye to Li Daliang. Under his guidance, he came to a house on the east side. It was similar to the house where Li Daliang lived, and it was not as big as the warehouse of Duke Cao's Mansion. When he walked closer, he saw a wooden board with the words "Ministry of the Ministry of Works" written on it. The ink traces were washed by the rain so hard that it could not be seen clearly.

Li Mu pushed the door and saw that someone was waiting in the room. Seeing him in, the two of them were stunned at first, then stood up to salute. Li Mu nodded, sat down in the main seat, took out the list given by Li Daliang, looked at the two people in the room, and frowned and said, "Justice Minister just now, there is one official in the Ministry of Works, and three in charge, why are there only you two? Where are the two left? Do you know if this official takes office today?"

The two looked at each other, and a middle-aged man in his early forties stood up and bowed, and replied: "Report to the doctor, Yu Wengui, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Works, the person next to him is Gongsun Kang and Gongsun. There are also Wang Yuan, Wang and Zhang Jian and Zhang, who are in trouble, are in trouble, and have failed to come to meet the adults. Please forgive me."

"Must affair?" Li Mu picked his eyelids and said, "What business?"

"Uh..." Yu Wengui hesitated for a moment, and said, "The Duke Zhao's mansion repairs the garden... The two leaders have gone to help."

"Repair the garden?" Li Mu frowned and said, "Is it your Majesty's will that they were asked to go?"

Yu Wengui cleared his throat and whispered: "Sir, Duke Zhao is the current uncle. Without His Majesty's will, he is here to be in charge..."

Li Mu's lips curled up a curve, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or laughing. He said, "The housekeeper of Duke Zhao's mansion said, and called the two heads of my Ministry of Works to repair the garden... Very good, very good!" After saying that, Li Mu didn't say anything else, picked up a pen and blacked out the names of the two heads on the list, then put them in his arms, and called Wang Hu away.
Chapter completed!
