PS: There is a problem with Laoyu’s network today. I will upload a chapter at the company now.

Li Min looked around and found that the speaker was sitting diagonally across from him. He was only in his twenties, wearing a very decent blue round-neck robe, with a round jade hanging from his waist, and a faint smile on his face.

His smile makes people fall in love with him as soon as they see him. It is the Prince of Taiyuan who arrived one step ahead of Li Min.

"Oh, since Brother Wang is so elegant, of course the younger brother can't ask for it." Li Min couldn't help but feel moved when he heard that the other party announced his family name, and it turned out to be the Wang family of Taiyuan. He understood better than anyone the influence of the family members on the political direction of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the power of these aristocratic families has declined under Li Shimin's suppression, it still cannot be underestimated.

When he heard that Li Min had agreed, the prince named Wang Kuang was immediately overjoyed. He ordered his servants to move the table opposite Li Min, and the two sat opposite each other. Influenced by celebrities from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, scholars in the Tang Dynasty were very particular about what they said and did.

Do it casually, and the same goes for making friends. If you like the other person, just go up and talk. If you find that you can't talk to each other, it doesn't matter, just say goodbye. There is no need to worry about any issues of face.

"I wonder what I call my little brother?" Wang Kuang directed the servants around him to move the table over. As soon as he sat down, he asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, I am practicing Liu at home, and my friends all call me Liu Lang. Brother Wang also calls me Liu Lang." Li Min said with a smile, "I wonder when Brother Wang will arrive in Chang'an, but will he take part in the imperial examination next year?"

Regardless of his dress or demeanor, this prince looked like a scholar who came to Chang'an to take the exam, so Li Min asked this question.

When he mentioned the imperial examination, Wang Kuang's eyes dimmed, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He smiled and said, "I just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday, but I didn't have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination. Although the Wang family is a wealthy family, I have not lived up to expectations. Since I was a child, I have not been able to live up to my expectations."

I don’t like studying, so I spend all day doing nothing but hanging out with the merchants downstairs. Today I came here because of the drunkenness of the Five Kings, but it made Liu Lang laugh."

Li Min did not expect that the other party turned out to be a businessman, and his words were somewhat self-deprecating. It was obvious that he had some contempt and helplessness for his identity as a businessman. It is not difficult to understand that the Tang government encouraged industry and commerce, but at the same time

They despise businessmen very much, so a strange phenomenon arises, that is, although everyone knows that businessmen are very rich, very few people are willing to actively join the ranks of businessmen.

"Brother Wang, what you said is wrong. Commerce is also one of the main businesses. If there are no businessmen buying and selling, let's not mention other things for now. Just the most basic words of 'food and clothing' are enough to give the world a headache." Li Min

Having said this, he stretched out his hand, took a piece of food, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly. He didn't have any discrimination against businessmen. Coming from a later generation, he knew the importance of businessmen better, so he couldn't help but speak.

After hearing Li Min's words, Wang Kuang's expression moved slightly, and he praised with admiration in his eyes: "I didn't expect that Liulang, you are so young, but you have such a thorough understanding of merchant affairs. You have lived a few extra years for your brother."

For many years, I have been struggling with my identity. Today, after hearing Liu Lang’s shocking words, I finally had a sense of enlightenment. Please accept me as my brother!” Wang Kuang stood up and saluted Li Min.

.

Li Min hurriedly stood up to help him, and said humbly: "Brother Wang, please get up quickly. I am just an ignorant boy trapped in Chang'an. He talks all day long. How can I bear the courtesy of Brother Wang?"

Wang Kuang stood up and said seriously: "Liu Lang, you are too humble. I have met a lot of people when I traveled all over the country, and I have some experience in observing people. When I saw Liu Lang today, I was shocked. With me

From what I can see, Liulang will definitely not be the thing in the pond in the future!"

If someone else praised him, Li Min would definitely get carried away. But for Wang Kuang, who praised him greatly when they first met, Li Min did not comment. Instead, he smiled and changed the subject: "My little brother has been stuck here all day.

In Chang'an City, my elders did not allow me to go out at all. I didn't expect to meet Brother Wang today. Since Brother Wang has been traveling outside all year round, I must be very familiar with the scenery inside and outside the Tang Dynasty. Can you explain it to me and let me know how to do it?

Open your eyes and you will have the capital to brag to your friends in the future?"

When Wang Kuang saw that Li Min didn't answer his words, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. However, his concentration was extremely good and there was no abnormal expression on his face. He still said with a smile: "Haha, since Liulang is interested in the scenery of various places,

Then I will explain it to you today."

At this point, Wang Kuang paused, and seeing Li Min's calm face, he seemed to be listening very seriously, so he continued: "Brother Wei has lived in Taiyuan since he was a child, which is not far from the northern grasslands, and has frequent interactions with those grassland tribes.

, the northern grasslands where my brother went most often as an adult, where the strong are respected, and there is no morality at all between the tribes. Often because of a trivial matter, the tribes on the grasslands will fight each other with swords, even at the cost of bloodshed.

…”

Although Wang Kuang claims to not like reading, he actually has a very high level of literary accomplishment. When explaining things on the grassland, he quotes from many sources. The plots and character descriptions are also very exciting. Not only does Li Min listen in rapt attention, but the literary works and paintings behind him are also very interesting.

Er was also attracted by the stories told by Wang Kuang, and for a while he even forgot about serving Li Min.

Li Min originally just wanted to find an excuse to change the subject, but he didn't expect that Wang Kuang was indeed very knowledgeable. Not only did he know everything about the grassland, but he also expressed his views on something from time to time. His views were very unique and often made people laugh.

It was refreshing. Li Min listened to Wang Kuang's narration and confirmed it with his own later knowledge, which also gave him a deeper understanding of the northern grasslands of the Tang Dynasty.

Listening to Wang Kuang's eloquent narration, and looking at the two little girls Wen'er and Hua'er beside him, both staring at each other with admiring eyes, Li Min couldn't help but feel a competitive thought in his heart.

In the gaps between Wang Kuang's narration, he would also add his own opinions from time to time, but just making comments soon could not satisfy Li Min's conversational appetite.

Li Min can't explain the things on the grassland to Wang Kuang, but Li Min, who grew up in the information explosion in later generations, is much more knowledgeable than anyone else. If he can't do it on the grassland, he can talk about overseas. Li Min started from Taiwan, the island closest to the mainland.

, which is what the Tang Dynasty called Liuqiu Island, starting with it, and then moving to the rich production of the Nanyang, and then using the Nanyang as the center point, westward through Malacca and into the Indian Ocean, then into the Red Sea and then into the Mediterranean. For the rise and fall of the Roman Empire

Li Min gave a special lecture on the process. Xiangdong started from Oceania and talked about the strange species above. North and South America were the focus of the explanation. Potatoes, peppers, corn and other crops of great economic value, as well as abundant gold,

The silver and other mineral deposits, the mysterious Inca civilization, etc., aroused Wang Kuang's amazement.

Although Wang Kuang has learned a lot and has extraordinary insights, compared with Li Min who is used to chatting with others online, he is still at a disadvantage. After all, the amount of information they are exposed to is not at the same level. Wen'er and Hua'er are also No. 1

I discovered for the first time that my master is not only talented in literature, but also knowledgeable. I really don’t know how he knows so many interesting overseas stories thousands of miles away? Now the two little girls have stars in their eyes, admiring and admiring Li Min.

The feeling is beyond words!

This guy Li Min has a problem. As soon as he gets interested in talking about mountains and rivers, his whole body will become elated and energetic. His mouth is like running on a train, and no one can stop his words. Wang Kuang was still in the beginning.

He was able to barely parry, but he was quickly defeated. He was extremely shocked by the magnificent overseas world Li Min said.

However, as the amount of information in Li Min's words increased, Wang Kuang gradually couldn't keep up with Li Min's thoughts. In the end, he was directly hit by the continuous new terms in Li Min's mouth, and his whole brain became confused.

I am so confused that I can no longer understand the relationship between Indians and Indians. What is the relationship between the Baltic Sea and pineapples? Why did the Roman Empire go eastward when it was clearly to the west of the Tang Dynasty?

If America crosses another Atlantic Ocean, we can actually reach Rome...

Questions that transcended the times were swirling in Wang Kuang's mind. The knowledge he was proud of in the past seemed so insignificant compared to these questions. Until finally, his mind went blank like a computer crash, and all he could see was Li Min's mouth.

Zhang Yihe couldn't hear what he was saying at all, and even when Li Min left at the end, he didn't react at all. The poor kid was made a temporary idiot by Li Min, and he probably won't be able to recover within three to five days.

coming.

Sitting on the carriage returning home, Li Min drank tea comfortably. Although he was very happy when talking, his voice was a bit unbearable. However, thinking of the demented expression on Prince Kuang's face at the end, Li Min still couldn't stand it.

I couldn't help but want to laugh. Wen'er and Hua'er, two very well-behaved girls, were squeezing Li Min's shoulders.

"Your Highness, you are so amazing. You actually know so many things." Wen'er, a little girl, looked at Li Min with a starry eyes and said infatuatedly. She already had a good impression of Li Min, a good-tempered prince.

Today I heard Li Min's "knowledge" with my own ears, and I admired him even more.

"Yes, His Highness is really knowledgeable, but it's a pity that the maid can't understand many of them!" Hua'er also said coquettishly. This girl is more wary of Li Min. She is usually not as close to Li Min as Wen'er, but now she is.

She started to act coquettishly with Li Min, and looked at Li Min with a strange look in her eyes.

"Hahaha~, what is this? Your Highness, I know more than this. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future. If you don't understand anything, just ask me directly." Li Min was also in a good mood. He hadn't felt this good for a long time.

pass.

"Hee hee, my maid wants to laugh when she thinks of the prince's last appearance. Like a fool, she didn't even hear His Highness say goodbye to him!" Wen'er looked at the painting and suddenly became so close to Li Min, and felt a little bit upset in her heart.

He pressed his small body tightly against Li Min's back and changed the subject with a smile.

Li Min felt Wen'er's slightly bulging breasts behind him, and felt a little itchy in his heart, but that was all. He was not a lolita fan, and he really wasn't interested in such an underdeveloped little girl.

Feeling Wen'er's provocation, Hua'er was not to be outdone, hugged Li Min's arm and said: "Humph, actually, that prince is still somewhat talented. His Highness has too many things to do now and is very busy all day long.

When we need help, the prince is from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and we have a chance to meet him again today. How about your highness recruit him, it will be a much better helper?"

After hearing this, Li Min laughed, stretched out his hand to rub Hua'er's little head and said, "You girl, do you really think that you met that prince by chance? They already knew our identities, and they were there specifically.

Waiting for us!”

"How is this possible?" Wen'er and Hua'er exclaimed at the same time, "Except for those of us who are around us, no outsiders know about Your Highness's visit to the Climbing Immortal Tower today. How could the prince be waiting there in advance?"

"Hey, I can roughly guess the cause and effect of this matter. Although I still don't know what the prince's purpose is in approaching me, but as the saying goes, 'If you have nothing to do, you will be a liar or a thief.' If I see him again in the future,

, but be careful." Li Min's expression was vague when he spoke, as if he was answering the two women's words, but he also seemed to be talking to himself.

"But, Your Highness, how do you know that he is waiting for us?" Hua'er was very curious and insisted on asking for details.

Li Min smiled mysteriously, and uttered two words with a somewhat proud expression: "Guessed!"

"Guess~" the two women shouted almost at the same time. They thought Li Min would point out the other party's flaws, but they didn't expect that Li Min actually guessed.

"This kind of thing only requires a guess, and I have also made arrangements. I believe that the person behind the arrangement for this meeting will come to me soon." The expression on Li Min's face was very strange when he spoke, as if

A little angry, but also seemed a little helpless.

In the chamber of commerce next to the Dengxian Tower, Wang Zihao, who was very busy, suddenly received a note sent by someone from Li Min. At that time, Wang Zihao felt nervous and hurriedly found a quiet place to open it. When he saw the words written on it

At that time, his face first became very pale, and then slowly regained some color. He looked north of Chang'an, then sighed softly, turned around and began to get busy again.
