Li Bai's "Guan Shan Yue" is not considered a masterpiece among Li Bai's poems, but Li Mu casually said it at this time, and it still had the expected pretentious effect.
There was silence for a while. After a while, Tang Jian finally confirmed to Mr. Sun: "Is it true that you have just learned to read?"
Sun was also confused and said, "I didn't even know he could read. Why, is this poem good?"
"It's more than just good, it's great! If this kind of masterpiece is spread out, it will definitely make a sensation in Chang'an!" Tang Jian looked at Li Mu excitedly and said, "The world has tried to say that 'heaven is a genius', but I don't believe it, seeing you today
Only when I spoke it successfully did I truly believe this sentence. There are indeed people with extraordinary talents in this world!"
Li Mu laughed and said: "My stepfather was ridiculous. It may be a bit arrogant to say this, but for me, writing poetry does not feel difficult. I know the meaning of the words, and then follow the prescribed sentence structure to formulate what I want to express.
The content, isn’t this poetry? Why is it so difficult?”
Tang Guan said sourly: "Brother's poems are indeed good, but there is no need to say so. According to your statement, aren't all the poets in the world ridiculous?"
Li Mu glanced at Tang Guan and thought to himself, little brother, this is not because my brother wants to bully you. If you have to come to your door to find autism, then your brother can only satisfy you.
"I don't know if it's funny or not, because I'm not a poet. But writing poetry is really so simple for me. You might not understand it just by saying it. So, you can make another question as you like, and I'll make another one.
head."
The more Li Mu seemed to be taking things lightly, the angrier Tang Guan felt. If writing this poem was as simple as you said, wouldn't all the students in Hongwen Hall be fools? Suddenly he saw the wine jar on the table and the full moon in the sky, and said:
"Since the elder brother said this, the younger brother is offended. Please give me some advice. Brother, please see that there is wine on the table and the moon in the sky. Please write a poem with the theme of wine and the moon!"
An even more ungrateful smile appeared on Li Mu's face, and he said: "Brother, I'm too polite. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get off the stage for asking such a simple question."
Tang Guan thought to himself, who gave you a simple question! There is wine and moon, it is said to be one question, but in fact it is two questions, how can it be considered simple?
Li Mu filled a glass of wine and raised it pretendingly, as if he was brewing. Just when everyone's eyes were focused on it, he suddenly said: "I have it! Listen!"
Tang Guan was startled by him, suppressed his anger and said, "I'm all ears, little brother!"
"When will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking and ask now. People can't catch the bright moon when they climb up, but the moon travels with people. It's as bright as a flying mirror approaching Danque, and the green smoke extinguishes all the clear brilliance. But I see the night rising from the sea.
Come, I would rather know that I have disappeared into the clouds. The white rabbit makes medicine. Autumn returns to spring, and Chang'e lives alone next to who. Today's people can't see the moon in ancient times, but this moon once shined on the ancients. People in ancient times and today are like running water, and they all see the bright moon like this. I only wish
When singing and drinking, the moonlight always shines in the golden cup!"
After reciting the song "Wine to Ask the Moon", Li Mu drank all the wine in the raised wine glass. Under the reflection of the moonlight, he looked elegant and free, like an immortal in the sky.
Tang Guan was completely speechless. Even if Li Mu was deliberately showing off, two poems in a row proved that he had the ability to show off. The first poem was already a masterpiece, but this second one was even better than the first.
First. Especially "Today's people cannot see the moon in ancient times, but today's moon once illuminated the ancients. People in ancient times and today can see the bright moon like running water." These four sentences will surely become famous sentences that will be passed down through the ages! He has to be convinced!
Tang Guan was so angry that he almost cried. How could such literary talents be given to people who don't respect poetry and prose? It's so insulting to politeness, so insulting to politeness!
Tang Jian murmured and recalled the artistic conception of Li Mu's poem, and it took him a while to calm down. Seeing Tang Guan's expression, he immediately said: "Why don't you get up and apologize to your brother? As a younger brother, he actually took the exam to take the exam for his elder brother.
Here you go, after just a few days of reading in the Hongwen Museum, have you become too arrogant and don’t you know you’re wrong?”
Tang Guan hurriedly stood up, saluted Li Mu, and said: "My little brother has only a limited knowledge and doesn't know how talented my brother is. It's ridiculous to do everything in front of my brother. I hope my brother won't worry about it and forgive me for my ignorance."
"," Li Mu quickly waved his hand and said, "You won't believe me when I say this. But it's the truth. Writing poetry is really a very simple thing for me. My mother knows when I do it on weekdays.
To write poetry, I either swing a hammer or saw wood. In my opinion, poetry is just a trail, which cannot be used as food or drink. It cannot build a house or shelter from the rain, so it is really of no use.
If you have time to study poetry, it is better to focus on these practical things. I am currently researching a kind of plow. If the research is successful, it can increase the speed of plowing by two times and greatly reduce the load of the cattle. If you
If you are interested, you can participate.”
Tang Guan was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Mu would do such things on weekdays. He opened his mouth half-open and didn't know what to say. When Tang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but take it seriously, because he was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
In charge of the world's money and food. Farming is the foundation of the country. If there is a plow that can increase the speed of plowing twice, then in other words, one hectare of land can be cultivated now, and now two hectares of land can be cultivated. What an improvement! You must know the Tang Dynasty
There is no shortage of land now. In the late Sui Dynasty, countless people died in successive campaigns and countless lands were vacated. There is plenty of land, but what is lacking is the people to cultivate it. Manpower is limited, animal power is limited, and weather is limited. It is really impossible to cultivate it.
If there were such a plow that could double the speed of plowing and save animal power, it would be such a happy event for the national rest and recuperation policy!
Tang Jian no longer cared about criticizing Li Mu's poems, and quickly asked: "Is this true? Have you really developed a plow that can double the speed of plowing?"
Li Mu guessed that Tang Jian would be interested. In fact, he had already purchased the blueprints of the new plow in the system, but he didn't want to take them out so soon: "It hasn't been researched yet, it's being researched, but it's almost there, and there's more
In a few months, after I buy a few cattle and go to the fields to test it a few times, it should be fine."
"This is no small matter!" Tang Jian was so excited that he grabbed Li Mu's hand and said, "If you can really develop this new type of plow, you will have made a great contribution. It is comparable to opening up a new territory, and even more so.
In other words, Your Majesty will definitely reward you generously, and the people will also remember your good deeds."
"My stepfather has exaggerated his praise again. In fact, I also have selfish motives. At present, our Tang Dynasty is in a state of desperate need. The grain output can only be said to be barely enough, but there is no surplus. A good year will be good, but if there is a disaster,
Year will be a disaster for the people. You also know that my wine-making business is closely related to food. In good years, there is food to make wine. What if there is a disaster year? Can I still do this business, so
Be prepared for a rainy day. If I can successfully develop this new plow and increase grain production, people will have surplus grain and will not be afraid of disasters. My business will also benefit, and I can reap the benefits in one fell swoop. Why not?"
Tang Jian showed admiration and said to Tang Guan next to him: "Did you see that your brother has the world in mind and deserves to be gifted with talents? You should learn more from him."
Tang Guanwei responded. The facts were in front of him and there was no room for him to be unconvinced. Li Mu did not attack him again. After the banquet, they all arranged their rooms and went to rest.
