Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

A few days later...

Then, Li Chong saw an article specifically flattering himself.

Well……

You can think so.

The signature is Du Mu.

Ah~ I can only say that the name Du Mu looks familiar.

Du Mu, Li Shangyin, are they that Du Mu?

It seems that he also wrote "Ode to Afang Palace".

However, after reading the other party's flattering article, Li Chong couldn't help but feel a little funny.

to be frank!
In the Tang Dynasty, you can't flatter someone, you're really not good at it.

unless……

You are as powerful as Li Chong.

otherwise……

Even if you are Li Bai or Bai Juyi, you have to write:
The Immortal Yuzhen goes to Taihua Peak.In the early morning, the drums of the sky sounded, and the double dragons soared.

Never stop playing with electricity, and there is no trace of Xingyun.When to enter the young room, the Queen Mother should meet again.

look!

Princess Yuzhen is compared to the Queen Mother.

This smells shameless.

But the most shameless person is Bai Juyi.

It was obvious that Yang Yuhuan was already a married woman, so she just wrote for him, "There is a daughter in the Yang family who has just grown up, and she has been raised in a deep boudoir and no one knows her." '.

What Du Mu said...

Li Zhong thought it was not bad.

At least……

Li Zhong felt that what he touted was basically in line with his reality.

It was neither said that he was the Jade Emperor nor that he was raised in a boudoir without being recognized.

"I just need a caring person by my side. Let him try."

Luo Shen quickly replied: "Yes!"

at the same time……

I couldn’t help but wonder, was it so easy to pass?

And what does it mean to be considerate?
My brother has already introduced his son to His Highness and wants to take up any position under His Highness. Do I want to talk to His Highness?

Or……

He went back and told his brother to write an article that could praise His Highness, and then His Highness would regard him as a caring person.

Infinite thoughts suddenly appeared in Luo Shen's mind.

no way!
As a person, you have to know how to repay kindness. If his brother hadn't told him that he could let his niece come to Luoyang to try it out, how could he become the father-in-law of His Highness now.

now……

The entire Tang Dynasty knew that their Ministry of Culture was extremely profitable and could be said to be the second Li family.

of course!

The money from the Ministry of Culture is not his.

But I can't help but people outside think so.

Seeing that Luo Shen hadn't left yet, Li Chong also asked, "What? Is there anything else?"

Luo Shen suddenly woke up, and then said as if he was worried: "Ah, no."

Li Chong: "Tell me, you don't seem to have anything on your mind."

Luo Shen: "Your Highness, I really don't have one."

Li Chong: "We are all a family, and there are no outsiders. There is nothing we can't say."

"Is it related to Du Mu?"

"By the way...when did you hook up with the Du family?"

Luo Shen: "I will die."

Li Chong: "Don't panic. Who in Luoyang City wants to be in power and doesn't hook up with the Du family. Who doesn't marry into the Du family. Are you afraid that I will suspect that you have a relationship with the Du family, so you looked worried just now?"

Luo Shen: "Yes, His Highness is truly a clairvoyant."

Li Zhong said again: "Don't lie to me, what's in your heart is not at all."

"Believe it or not, I can read minds."

"I know what other people are thinking."

Luo Shen: "..."

Li Chong: "You are thinking, how can I let Du Mu be my close person so easily, right?"

Luo Shen: "Yes."

Li Chong: "Then, do you also want to give me someone?"

Luo Shen: "Your Highness...Nothing in the world can escape His Highness's eyes."

Li Chong: "Your brother, Luo Zhong, also has many heirs. Let him choose a teenager. It is best not to be the eldest son."

Luo Shen: "..."

Li Chong: "Do you want to ask why?"

Luo Shen: "..."

Li Chong: "Because I want to do a big thing. This big thing is a bit risky, so I can't use my eldest son."

Luo Shen: "This..."

Li Chong: "Don't worry, he probably won't die."

After seeing each other for a while, Luo Shen was still standing there, motionless.

Li Zhong continued: "If you have nothing to do, go back and bring the person here."

He had no way to do this overseas matter himself, he could only find someone to do it.

"That's right! It's best to be familiar with water-based ones!"

Luo Shen's back, which should have been approaching the door, suddenly turned back.

But soon...

Luo Shen became even more confused.

You also need to be familiar with water properties. Why should you be familiar with water properties?
That night...

Luo Shen discussed this matter with his brother Luo Zhong, who was on duty.

Luo Zhong's first reaction was, could it be that the Tang Dynasty was going to war with the Liao Kingdom?
otherwise……

You have no idea why you need to be familiar with water-based products?
Northerners are actually not very familiar with water properties.

but……

Not to mention, Luo Zhong actually has an heir, and he likes to go boating and swimming when he has nothing to do, especially in the summer.

I also really like to go fishing alone.

mind this...

Luo Zhong also regarded it as an investment and said: "Whether there is a war or not, let Wulang give it a try."

Luo Shen: "But what if there really is a war..."

Luo Zhong said: "There is nothing we can do about it. For the sake of the entire Luo clan, every one of the Luo clan's children is duty-bound."

This is why aristocratic families are superior to ordinary scholar families who passed the imperial examination.

They will have a sense of family honor, and also have the organizational ability to fight as father and son soldiers.

Just like that Yan Zhenqing, in order to quell the Anshi Rebellion, more than thirty members of his family died, and the succession was tragic.

On the contrary, if you are a scholar from a poor family who passed the imperial examination, you will probably regret it until your intestines turn green.

If a war really breaks out, they would rather repair the surrender watch. The water is too cold, so they are probably not willing to let themselves die.

It's a pity - a family can succeed, but a family can fail.

Precisely because they have family honors, these nobles from aristocratic families are somewhat inconsistent with the interests of the imperial power.

after all……

Your big family can still maintain a certain organizational ability, but can they rebel at any time?

He also married various people.Now……

This phenomenon of marriages between nobles is still very common.

Ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty couldn't become a high official just by relying on the imperial examination. Even if you were really talented, the most you could do was pass the imperial examination, rank last, and then be randomly assigned to a remote area to be an official. The life of a county lieutenant, or the director of the Public Security Bureau, is the best.

And if you want to become a high official, be on duty in the palace, and see His Majesty every day, you not only have to pass the imperial examination, but you also have to find a good family and then become the son-in-law of this family. Only then is this possible.

Bai Juyi is like this.

The woman who was forced by his mother-in-law to marry was this girl from the Yang family in Hongnong.

Li Chongcai felt that if Bai Juyi had not married a woman from the Hongnong Yang family, then Bai Juyi might not have passed the imperial examination.

The topic is a bit far off topic, let’s get back to the topic.

just now……

In Luo Zhong's eyes, having a chance is better than having no chance.

Even if Wu Lang really died on the battlefield or unfortunately died outside, as long as he fought bravely, His Highness would look more highly on other members of the Luo clan in the future, and more importantly. Be kind.

……

The next day.

Luo Shen did not hesitate and directly introduced Luo Wulang to Li Chong.

He must be sixteen or seventeen years old, Li Zhongcai felt.

She looks thin and small, but in terms of energy and energy, she is pretty good.

Li Chong also went straight to the point: "I intend to expand overseas, but life at sea is a bit difficult."

"Luo Wulang, can you bear not being able to see your family even once for a year?"

The other party definitely couldn't bear it, but being held hostage, he could only bite the bullet and say: "I am not afraid of hard work."

Li Chong: "I like people who can tell the truth."

Luo Wulang: "..."

Li Chong; "It's okay. If you can bear it, you can bear it. If you can't bear it, you can't bear it. If you say you can't bear it, I won't ask anyone to drag you to behead you."

Luo Wulang: "I...can bear it."

Li Zhong really wanted to tell him, if you are forced by someone, just blink.

But now is not the time to be so clever.

Li Zhong directly spread out a map, and then said: "Here... there should be a country. There is a lot of oil underground in this country. What I need you to do is to control it through force or other means." This country will then continuously transport the oil underground in their country back to Datang."

"On the way, you may meet people from Liao and Jiaozhi, and even Tianzhu."

"On the sea, there may be countless pirates who go to sea to become pirates."

"But what's even more difficult is the weather at sea."

"Maybe a typhoon passes through, and your life may depend on it."

"Of course!"

"As for this typhoon, it's okay. After all, as long as you sail in the right month, the chance of encountering a typhoon is still relatively small, and there are only two or three typhoons in a year at most. It's overwhelming."

"It's a pity that I am the grandson of the emperor and cannot leave Luoyang. Otherwise... important things like this should be done by me."

"You are from my father-in-law's family and recommended by my father-in-law, so I give you this difficult task."

"Datang... From now on, we can no longer just focus on our own one-third of an acre. We must go out and become more international."

"You can't just wait for others to come to do business, but you have to do business on other people's territory."

"A task like this can only be accomplished by someone who is passionate about adventure and who can remain fearless, calm and resourceful in the face of disaster."

"Do you think... you can do it?"

Luo Goro felt nothing.

But this matter was very important, and he heard it.

Li Chong said again: "If you think you are not good enough, it doesn't matter, just say it. Then I can let you do other things, but at the moment, there is really only one thing that makes my highness feel, The most worthwhile thing to do, and the most likely to achieve fame."

When Luo Wulang heard this, Li Zhong even mentioned this.

He also said: "I... am willing to give it a try."

Li Chong: "Okay! Although... I don't know whether you were coerced by others or voluntary, but it is good for young people to have the courage to venture and fight. Next... I will let Zhou Ze take the lead. I'll take you with me. You first learn about overseas affairs with him, and also... train with Zhou Zeta when you have time. After all, even though it's business, it's actually no different from going to war."

……

After arranging for Luo Wulang, Li Zhong also arranged to meet with Du Mu.

This guy Du Mu is not formal at all. After all, he comes from a big family.

There are many people in the family who have been prime ministers.

Li Chong also asked Du Mu to follow him to watch and learn well.

By the way...

While lowering his head to draw, Li Zhong was also chatting with him about his daily life, such as...

There are several brothers and sisters in his family.

Do you have any particularly good-looking sisters?

What are your future ambitions and so on?

To be honest, he didn't have any special tasks for Du Mu to do.

after all……

The other party is so young.

Just think of it as a development game.

But before playing the nurturing game, you must first get to know the other person.

And Du Mu also talks a lot.

He also asked Li Zhong a lot of questions.

For example, "Your Highness, I heard that you have four or five wives. Is this true?"

Li Zhong said: "It's true, so what?"

"this is not good."

Li Zhong said: "Why is it not good?"

"Your Highness, you must exercise restraint."

Li Chong smiled, "I'm not tired of being with them every day."

"Your Highness, can I see your paintings?"

Li Chong: "Just look at it."

"Your Highness, you draw these paintings..."

Li Chong: "Why, do you have any objections again?"

"Your Highness shouldn't read more books on governing the country and the principles of sages. How can you just focus on painting all day long?"

Li Chong: "What you said makes sense, but the problem is... only I can do this. If I don't draw it, others won't know how to draw it."

"This painting, I have seen many ancient paintings, is indeed a school of its own. Is it your own creation, Your Highness?"

Li Chong: "Who else can be there besides me?"

"Is this also 'writing to convey the truth'?"

Li Chong: "Of course!"

"I have been to the concert, and I can feel that His Highness has very lofty ambitions. But... I wonder if His Highness can tell you what your ambition is?"

Li Chong: "I asked you about your ambition just now, but now you ask about me."

"It sounds like a very specific and far-reaching ambition, but it's actually too vain."

"Your Highness, as long as we can see that the people live and work in peace and contentment, it will be good."

Du Mu: "So in order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, Your Highness, you will paint here?"

Li Chong: "What? Do you despise painting?"

Du Mu: "No, it's just this painting that seems a bit far away from where people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Li Chong said: "Luo Shen, tell him how many people this painting can support."

Luo Shen also said: "At present, there are more than 50 people."

Li Zhongdao: "If a person does not hold a position, he will have no income and cannot support his family."

"This painting is not a painting, but a painting of the food and clothing of more than 50 people and their family."

Although Du Mu is not quite able to understand the underlying logic here, but...

This doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.So...he seemed to have no way to refute. (End of chapter)
