Li Mu got out of the carriage, sat on the other side of the carriage, and said: "Little brother, your idea is very dangerous? If you don't like women, do you like men?"
Dugujiu glanced at him and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? It's so disgusting."
"Ouch, look at your tone, you're like a bitch." Li Mu patted Dugujiu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, although you look like a girl and your voice also sounds like a girl, you have to understand
, you are a man! And you are the only son of your father. You have the responsibility to carry on the family line. If you don’t like women, your family will be divorced. Don’t you understand this simple truth? "
"I..." Dugujiu didn't seem to know how to explain, pursed his lips and said: "I, it's not that I don't like women... I just feel that I don't know how to get along with each other. Brother, if we get married, I will definitely
We need to meet each other every day, right?"
"Of course. Look, your sister-in-law and I are together every day, aren't we?"
"But I can't." Dugujiu said a little excitedly: "Brother, how do you think I can face my wife when I look like this? After we get married, I can't still wear a mask every day, and my voice, if
If I take off my mask and speak, what will Madam think of me? Where will her family be?"
Dugujiu's eyes were a little red, and he said: "I have to think about others. Which woman doesn't want to marry a man? Although I am a man, I am not man enough, so I'd better not harm others."
"Bah!" Li Mu took a hard sip and said, "Who said you're not man enough? You tell me his name, and I'll chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
"Brother! Stop talking nonsense."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not talking nonsense. You said my brother, the eldest brother will stand up for you! Also, I have to talk about you. What does it mean to be a real man? If you can take on responsibilities and take care of the family, you are already a man.
Husband. If you are more capable, protect your family and country, and work for the welfare of the people, you will be a man. Is appearance important? Is your voice important? Does Uncle Cheng look like that and affect his achievements? "
Dugujiu muttered: "I hope I grow up like Uncle Cheng, so I won't have the worries I have now."
"That's easy!" Li Mu said angrily: "Have you seen the mace I made? When you get home later, take off your mask and rub it on the mace. I guarantee you will be uglier than Uncle Cheng!
"
"No!" Dugujiu screamed in fright, covering his face and saying, "I won't do anything to disfigure my face!"
"Look at you like that!" Li Mu almost laughed out loud and said, "Don't think that brother doesn't know that you love to look beautiful. Is this smell on your body because of the perfume you use? Are your clothes washed with soap? And I did it this morning.
I'll call you in your room. Is there a mirror beside your bed?"
"I, I..." Dugujiu was shocked and stuttered, completely at a loss of how to explain.
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "No need to explain, everyone has the love for beauty. In ancient times, there was Pan An and Song Yu. In their time, men still applied powder, and no one discriminated against them. Instead, it became a good story
.Today, it’s just that I, the Tang Dynasty, favor martial arts, and you seem a little out of place. Maybe after a thousand years, men and women like you will be the most popular. Who can say for sure?"
"I had a dream last night. Twelve women were singing on a stage, and countless girls and young women in the audience were crazy about them. I was surprised, why was this woman still crazy when she sang? I got closer and took a closer look.
After looking at it, guess what, the twelve women are actually men, is it magical or not?"
"Brother is teasing me again." Dugujiu said unhappily: "There hasn't been one person like me for hundreds of years. How come there are twelve of them all of a sudden, and they still perform in public? Are they musicians?"
"That's about it. Who remembers dreams accurately?" Li Mu leaned against the carriage and said, "Brother, I'm not telling you this to hurt you. I just want you to understand the truth. What kind of person is born?
There is no choice. Some people are born into noble families, just like you and Changsun Chong. Some people are born into common people, just like your eldest brother and me. So what? Is it because of a bad background or some hidden disease?
Aren’t you working hard? Then you might as well die early. If you don’t want to die, if you don’t work hard, who are you showing off to?”
"It's useless to complain, you have to find a way, right? Also, you don't need to feel inferior. I always believe that as long as a person does not harm anyone, there is no problem. Just like you
Ah, who does being beautiful offend? The ugly ones are still alive, but the beautiful ones have to die? And what’s wrong with the voice? It’s fine, as long as you can understand what you say? There’s nothing wrong with loving beauty, as long as
It doesn’t matter what your future wife thinks, it doesn’t matter what other people think.”
"If he wants to see it, he will see it. If he doesn't want to see it, he won't see it. If he says something useless in front of you, don't you know martial arts? Just beat him up and it's over. Don't say that your father is the leader of the Dugu Clan. Most people don't dare to
If you mess with you, you just don't look at your father. Don't you still have me as your eldest brother? I'll even beat up your eldest brother, who will be afraid of him?"
Seeing Li Mu protecting his calf like this, Dugujiu couldn't help but laugh. Regardless of whether Li Mu was right or not, this attitude was heartwarming enough.
"Brother, I can't be as open-minded as you."
"It has nothing to do with being open-minded. I'm just barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. If that doesn't work, I'll go back to Mayi to farm. Do you think I'm joking? I've already sent a letter to Siwen to buy land in Mayi and Dingxiang.
, as long as it is ownerless land, I will buy as much as there is, and people have to leave a backup for themselves, right?"
Dugujiu couldn't help but said: "Brother, do you really want to farm?"
"That's right." Li Mu had nothing to hide, and said, "Didn't I invent the Zhenguan plow? Farming has become easier. You can't just benefit others, but you also have to take care of yourself. You may not know
What's it like in Mayi and Dingxiang? Let me tell you, look at how many people there are in Chang'an. A city of twenty miles square has 300,000 households. And around Mayi and Dingxiang, there are more than a dozen Chang'an
The city is so big, but there are less than 50,000 households. Think about it, how much good land is left uncultivated?"
Dugujiu has never thought about farming, but he knows a little arithmetic and can probably have some ideas. To put it simply, in Mayi and Dingxiang, there are too many people and little land, so the land cannot be planted.
"The land over there is very cheap, and most of it is ownerless. It used to be the pastures of the Turks. I just need to take a small amount of money to take in those poor refugees and let them burn the wasteland and cultivate it for me. I can't use it.
In two or three years, I can get a fertile field." Li Mu rubbed his hands and said, "By that time, I will have money and food."
Dugujiu's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Brother, are you going to rebel?"
"Fart!" Li Mu almost fell over and choked to death. He raised his hand and hit Dugu Jiuyi, and cursed: "When did I say I was going to rebel? I mean, how dare those nobles dare to mess with me? You
Why did you get involved in rebellion? You don’t have a bone in your head?"
"You can't blame me for this. When I was a child, my father asked me to read "Historical Records". When those people rebelled, they always accumulated food and slowly became king..."
"Don't talk nonsense like this in the future. Rebellion? You can't imagine that it's so easy to be the emperor? Your eldest brother and I have such a temper, even if I become the emperor, I will be a foolish emperor. Your Majesty is a good emperor, let's just do what we can.
That’s it. There have been so many heroes throughout the ages, how many of them have become emperors? Young people, don’t be too exaggerated."
"Oh." Dugujiu nodded, held it in for a while, and said, "Brother, why don't you stop buying land? My family has land and I can farm it for you?"
"The land in your house belongs to your father. When will you wait until you become the head of the clan to say this again?"
"I have one myself!"
"ah?"
"I have one myself..." Dugujiu thought for a while and said, "Three to five hundred hectares, I don't know the exact amount. I can go home and ask the housekeeper."
"Where did you get so much land?" Li Mu was shocked. The emperor gave the land to the marquis but only fifty hectares, but Dugujiu actually had three to five hundred hectares. Isn't this a ghost?
"My uncles gave it to me. Every year on my birthday, my uncles gave me the land deed. I don't know where the land is, but the housekeeper helps me keep it."
"Ha!" Li Mu was convinced. This is a powerful family. For the child's birthday, all the gifts are land deeds. I worked hard, guarding the city, and presenting the jade seal. In the end, I was given fifty hectares of land. How can I reason?
Go!
"Brother, why don't you speak?"
"You're autistic, ignore me." Li Mu said angrily.
Dugujiu didn't understand what this sentence meant at all. He blinked and said, "Then why don't you sow it?"
"Plant!" Li Mu suppressed the sourness in his heart and said, "But as the eldest brother, I can't take advantage of you. I will help you plant the land and sell the grain for you. The money I get will be used for you to marry a wife.
"
"No need." Dugujiu quickly waved his hand and said: "My father said that when I get married, he will let me inherit the position of the head of the family. My family has a lot of money. How much can I spend on getting married?"
"Can you just shut up?"
"oh"
…
The carriage arrived at the Ministry of Industry, and Li Mu didn't say anything along the way.
What else could you say?
The greatest braggadocio in the Tang Dynasty was completely shown off in front of a rich second generation who ran away from home and was afraid of marriage! In order not to inherit the wealth of the family, the handsome young man Dugujiu had to run away from home and give up to a seemingly
The upstart Hou Ye, who earns a lot of money every day but actually has very little money, works as a groom. What kind of bloody plot is this!
Oh my God!
Li Mu got off the carriage, his head still buzzing.
This incident not only hurt his self-confidence, but also reminded him that the power of the Xungui clan is much greater than he thought. Don't think that they have difficulty in coming up with hundreds of thousands of coins at once. In fact, these few
One hundred thousand dollars did not shake their bones at all. Their money is all in land and business. There is very little land in the world that is really in the hands of the people. Even the land in the hands of the royal family is not very much.
Part of it is in the hands of these noble families, they are the ones who truly control the lifeblood of this country!
