With the exception of the Zheng family, everyone seemed to have achieved a satisfactory result regarding the potatoes. After getting the truth, all the people who had been waiting and watching all headed straight to Luoyang from all over the country with the good food they had prepared.
Waiting to change the seeds. The news cannot be concealed. Before the news is released in Luoyang City, almost everyone in the world knows that there are only about one million catties of potato seeds. This amount of seeds is definitely not enough. First of all
When you arrive, you may be able to catch some fish, but when you arrive later, you may not be able to catch anything at all.
What should I do if I can't get anything? If I beg, I won't get it, and I'll have to spend a lot of money. No one wants to suffer a loss, so it's better to arrive as early as possible if you can.
Li Mu had prepared his luggage and planned to leave tomorrow. Lu Dongzan did not disappoint him. Near evening, Lu Dongzan came with Prince Gemu.
Prince Gemu's dark face was full of reluctance. He had been working as a waiter in heaven and earth for almost a month. He finally had some experience in serving dishes without spilling soup. He wanted to keep up his efforts and win the heart of beauties.
I didn't expect to be stabbed by someone.
He glanced at Li Mu who was drinking tea leisurely and turned his head to the side. Lu Dongzan saw it and said nothing. Prince Gemu's attitude could not determine anything. The important thing is that he came and met Li Mu's conditions.
This is like a marriage between two countries. Who will consider whether the two young people are happy or not? It is just a political marriage.
The same goes for Gemu's apprenticeship with Li Mu. Whether Gemu is willing or not is not important, what matters is the situation.
"According to the rules of the Central Plains, I prepared a bundle of repairs for my prince." To perform a show, he had to do a complete set. Lu Dongzan turned around and took out a basket with ten pieces of dried meat in his left hand. He also carried a pair of wild geese with his right hand
He's still alive, still struggling, and it looks like that's what happened.
Li Mu glanced at these two things and felt something was wrong. He frowned slightly and said, "The color of your beef jerky is a bit off."
Lu Dongzan hurriedly explained: "On the plateau, only the most distinguished guests are eligible to enjoy authentic plateau yak meat."
Li Mu broke off a piece and found that the meat was indeed firmer. He said to Gemu next to him: "It's a good thing to eat on the road. I'll bring a cart back later and give it to your ladies as a gift."
Gemu snorted and did not answer. Lu Dongzan was afraid that Li Mu would be angry, so he quickly answered: "If Lord Marquis likes it, I will do my best. But this yak jerky is really hard-won and expensive..."
The implication is that if the quantity is small, it can still be supplied, but if there is no limit to asking for it, it will be a bit difficult to handle.
"It's just a few dollars, look how poor you are." Li Mu tore a piece open, threw it into his mouth and chewed: "It's as much as it deserves, and you can't miss a penny. I have always been fair in doing things." After a pause.
After a moment, Li Mu said again: "For transactions in the Foreign Affairs Office, those who should pay taxes must also pay taxes, and there must be no difference of a penny. The rules are the rules. I have always been fair in doing things."
Even though he was a fool, Lu Dongzan understood what Li Mu meant. He cursed secretly that he was out of touch and wanted to find extra time, but he didn't know what to say. Seeing that Gemu still didn't speak, he winked at him.
Gemu took a step forward, bowed, and said: "My mentor is here, I would like to bow to you as a disciple."
"Be good," Li Mu took out a gold ingot that he had prepared a long time ago from his arms and handed it to Gemu: "Master has nothing to give you, just a gold ingot as a meeting gift."
Lu Dongzan felt a little better. The little thing he brought was not worth the ingot in Li Mu's hand. It seems that Li Mu didn't care about money. Otherwise, how could he make such a big deal casually?
Handwriting?
Gemu took it, and Lu Dongzan's hand had already been stretched out, ready to take over. Gemu put it into his arms, and Lu Dongzan had to retract his hand in a coquettish way. How could he know Gemu's thoughts about picking up girls?
But it costs money. Although Li Yourong is beautiful, she doesn't like to wear jewelry. Gemu doesn't know that she doesn't like to wear jewelry, he just thinks that she can't afford it. Although he is a prince, he doesn't have much money, except for a little
Apart from pocket money, all other money is in Lu Dongzan's hands.
Lu Dongzan would definitely not give money to buy jewelry. But with this gold ingot, he would be able to buy jewelry by himself without asking.
After getting the money, Gemu's attitude also changed: "I have become your disciple, so it's none of my business. I want to go back to Chang'an, is that okay?"
Lu Dongzan's eyes almost popped out of his head. What kind of ecstasy soup had His Highness taken? Why did he just stare at Princess Huanzhu? He had seen Li Yourong, and she looked good, but he was older.
He really couldn't figure out why Gemu liked Li Yourong.
She glanced at Li Mu and saw that he didn't seem to be too angry, so she quickly said: "Your Highness, you are now the apprentice of the Marquis. You have to study with the Marquis. You can't go back to Chang'an."
"Why not?" Gemu asked, "Didn't you say that I just need to be a disciple, and you didn't say that I would follow him?" He glanced at Li Mu and said in a low voice, with some mockery: "What can he teach me? It's nothing more than that.
It’s just some heresy.”
After hearing this, Lu Dongzan felt that it was a bit too much, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, be careful what you say! The Marquis is your teacher!"
"It's okay," Li Mu smiled and said, "Disciple, you are young and ignorant, things happen all the time. You can't blame him. He really has never seen his old teacher, my ability. Just like my eldest disciple Changsun Chong
, when you took me as your teacher, didn’t you just go against me? There is such a process, and it will be fine after a while.”
"Huh! It won't get better in a few days!" Gemu said decisively: "The princess said that you are not a good person. The people the princess hates are the people I hate. I worship you as my teacher for the sake of Tubo.
If it were me, I wouldn't even look at you!"
Lu Dongzan only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he quickly apologized: "Master Marquis, please forgive His Royal Highness for being so young and reckless..."
"I've said it doesn't matter anymore," Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Young people, it's good to be motivated." He sighed with infinite emotion and said, "It seems that the princess still can't forget that incident.
Oh, blame me! She hates me, so she hates me." He glanced at Gemu from the corner of his eye and said, "Okay, I promise you, if you want to go back to Chang'an, you can go, and I won't keep you here.
"
"Wait a minute!" The young men who had just begun to fall in love were all Sherlock Holmes. From Li Mu's words, he heard some clues and asked: "What do you mean? What is that thing about? You and the princess
Is there anything in between?"
"Hey, it's all old news, it's not important." Li Mu waved his hand and started to drive people away: "You can leave, we won't leave any food."
The more Li Mu behaved like this, the more Gemu felt that there must be something wrong. He grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and refused to let go. His eyes were red and he said: "No, you have to tell me clearly what is going on between you and the princess."
!”
Li Mu looked at Gemu with a troubled expression, as if there was something that was not convenient to tell. Gemu looked at Li Mu, and gradually, his hands began to shake. The young man's imagination is very rich, and in an instant
In the meantime, countless pictures flashed through his mind, with tears in his eyes, he said in a trembling voice: "You two, you, you, wouldn't you..."
"Hey, why do you ask?" Li Mu patted Gemu on the shoulder. Gemu rolled his eyes and passed out immediately.
For a young man who has just begun to have an affair, this stimulation is a bit too much.
Lu Dongzan is someone who has been here before, and he can see clearly that there must be nothing between Li Mu and the princess. He said this deliberately just to deal with his apprentice. Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Marquis, is this necessary?
?”
"My apprentice is mine, how do you discipline me?" Li Mu asked people to carry Gemu away and said to Lu Dongzan: "Tomorrow you go to the governor of the palace, Shi Mazhou, and he will take you to see Shouyang Marquis.
Government affairs are in his hands for the time being. Please contact him."
"Thank you so much, Lord Marquis." Lu Dong thanked him. Seeing that Li Mu was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "What are your plans for the slaves?"
"Don't ask me about slave matters. If you need help, ask yourself."
Li Mu waved his hand and went to the back house. Lu Dongzan looked at Li Mu's back and muttered in a low voice: "Where can I find someone useful?"
After coming out of the gate and about to go back to his residence, he suddenly saw a coal truck coming. Winter will come in a few months, and the Hou Mansion will have to prepare burning materials for winter. Lu Dongzan looked at the things in the house.
The man was carrying coal into the house with a bamboo basket, and suddenly he seemed to have an idea. Yes, people are needed to extract coal, and to transport coal. It will be winter soon, and it is the time to use people.
What were the coal diggers of the Tang Dynasty called?
Lu Dongzan thought for a while and finally remembered that the three major shareholders of Datang Mining, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the Cui family of Qinghe, were all wealthy people!
Go find them!
…
Gemu has been awake for a long time, but he hasn't moved.
Thinking that his goddess might have an affair with someone like Li Mu, Gemu suddenly felt that his whole life was dark.
What’s the point of living?
This feeling is probably like that of an idol that you have liked for a long time. She/he promised to be single forever and never fall in love. But suddenly one day it was revealed that they were actually married before they debuted...
God, please kill me!
Two lines of hot tears flowed down Gemu's cheeks. He sniffed and thought to himself: "If you don't kill me, you'll kill him. Anyway, one of us will die!"
"Are you awake?"
There was a voice in his ears. Gemu recognized it in his mind and it was not Li Mu's voice. Then he turned his head and secretly wiped away his tears. Then he turned around and saw a man sitting there soaking his feet. He couldn't help but ask
:"Who are you?"
"I am your senior brother." Changsun Chong said with a smile, "My name is Changsun Chong, and I also arrived today."
"Oh, it's you." Gemu remembered. He had met Changsun Chong once. But he didn't have a deep impression. Now that he saw him in person, he finally got the right number.
"If you were sent by him to persuade me, you might as well save your energy." Gemu gritted his teeth: "That person and I are incompatible, and nothing anyone says will work."
Changsun smiled and said, "What a coincidence, it's exactly the same as what I thought before."
"You're lying!" Gemu said as if I had seen through it, "There's no need to play tricks on me, you can't deceive me!"
"Who lied to you?" Changsun Chong was very comfortable dealing with a kid like Gemu. He took a rag, wiped his feet and said, "Everyone in Chang'an City knows about this. If you don't believe it,
, if you have a chance to return to Chang'an, just ask about it."
Gemu believed what Changsun Chong said. Since the two of them had the same experience, Gemu was curious about why Changsun Chong had changed. But after waiting for a while, Changsun Chong didn't take the initiative to say anything. The young man's character is not calm enough after all.
, Changsun Chong did not survive, and asked: "Since you are his enemy, why did you become a disciple later?"
"My apprenticeship is not something I want to do." Changsun rushed through the door, poured water on his feet, and said, "My father is the uncle of the state, and my uncle is the emperor. They both asked me to become their apprentice. Can I refuse?"
?”
Gemudu felt sympathetic and said: "Me too! The Prime Minister told me that he would only help me if I became a disciple. Otherwise, countless people in Tubo would starve to death. Why is this man so cruel? He forced me to do so."
What are you doing with me?"
"My mentor must have deep meaning when doing things." Changsun Chong said firmly: "It's just that he doesn't say it. If he doesn't say it, I can't guess it. If I can guess it, I won't be his disciple."
Gemu was stunned and said: "I heard this as if he was flattering him. Are you his opponent?"
"It used to be." Changsun Chong smiled and said, "It's obviously not the case now. He is my master."
"You two are about the same age, why do you worship him as your teacher?" Gemu said speechlessly: "What can he teach you?" After that, he reasoned with Changsun Chong: "Although we are both forced to worship him.
After becoming a master, on the surface, we still have to call him master, but in our hearts, we have to understand what is going on. How could you give in?" "My teacher must have deep meaning in what he does." Changsun Chong said firmly: "I just don't say it.
That’s all, I can’t guess it even if he doesn’t tell me. If I could guess it, I wouldn’t be his disciple.”
Gemu was stunned and said: "I heard this as if he was flattering him. Are you his opponent?"
"It was before." Changsun smiled and said, "Obviously not now. He is my master."
"You two are about the same age, why do you worship him as your teacher?" Gemu said speechlessly: "What can he teach you?" After that, he reasoned with Changsun Chong: "Although we are both forced to worship him.
After becoming a master, on the surface, we still have to call him master, but in our hearts, we have to understand what is going on. How could you give in?" Although we were both forced to become a master, on the surface, we still had to call him master.
Master, but in our hearts we have to understand what is going on. How could you give in?" Although both of us were forced to become masters, on the surface we still have to call him Master, but in our hearts we have to understand what is going on.
