Chapter 139, His Majesty Li Er talks to Jiang Wei
His Majesty Li Er doesn't say his identity, and Jiang Wei won't poke it if he has nothing to do. just treats him as a powerful person, and he answers whatever the other party asks.
"I heard that Jiang Gongzi learned to the immortal family, and I am also more curious on weekdays, this immortal family knowledge, can there be a method of immortality?"
His Majesty Li Er hesitated, but still asked the question he was most concerned about. Fang Xuanling listened, glanced at His Majesty Li Er in astonishment, and lowered his head again and couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Wei was not surprised by this question, he claimed to be a disciple of the Immortal Family, and His Majesty Li Er was also an immortal cultivator, so of course he would ask this question. If he didn't ask, he would have thought it would be strange.
"Li Gongzi may have misunderstood the Immortal Family Technique."
Jiang Wei said with a smile,
"The foundation of immortal art is the truth."
His Majesty Li Er frowned,
"What about Jiang Gongzi's master, Qinglian Sword Immortal? I heard that Jiang Gongzi seems to be a figure before the Shang Dynasty? ”
Jiang Wei nodded, this cow, he did blow it, and it was with Wei Zheng at that time.
"Li Gongzi, a certain master is indeed a person before Shang. However, what he left behind in this world was just a wisp of divine consciousness. ”
His Majesty Li Er furrowed his brows,
"Divine sense?"
Jiang Wei nodded,
"Yes, Li Gongzi can be understood as the consciousness of what people think. This kind of immortality exists only in the divine consciousness and has no physical body. ”
Li Er nodded, as if he understood a little, but he didn't seem to understand. I can't help but admire,
"The knowledge of the immortal family is really profound."
After admiring it, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. If you can't keep your body, then you can't be the emperor and enjoy the beauty of the harem, so what's the meaning of immortality?
"Is there any other way to live forever?"
Jiang Wei shook his head,
"Maybe a certain knowledge is relatively low, and the others are unknown."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and let out a long sigh.
Jiang Wei looked at Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, who were silent, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
At this time, Li Er suddenly asked again,
"Jiang Gongzi can understand Dan Dao?"
It seems that Li Er has not given up, Jiang Wei is still persistent when he sees his eyes? Have to go back?
"Li Gongzi, our immortal gate? Not Taoist. Is alchemy a Taoist thing? It's not my immortal family's thing. Some, how can you know Dandao? ”
To this thing of alchemy? He didn't want to touch it, and he didn't want to touch it.
Li Er listened to Jiang Wei's words? Pondered for a moment? It seems that he has finally given up on the idea of obtaining immortality from him. Finally, the two chatted and talked about the recent inflation problem?
"In recent days, the world's major events? Mostly made of cloth silk silk. Because of the textile machine? The cloth and silk were overflowing, and the world was in turmoil. But if you ban the weaving machine, it will be stupid. I wonder what Jiang Gongzi thinks about this? ”
Jiang Wei couldn't help but take a deep look at His Majesty Li Er, what does this mean? Test me? But recently, there has been no big movement in the court, and it only relies on those Hu merchants who want to export silk in large quantities? This is a problem in which it is difficult to regulate domestic inflation.
After thinking about it, Jiang Wei finally spoke?
"Datang can't digest it, isn't there still a neighboring country? Is there still the Western Regions? ”
His Majesty Li Er shook his head, of course he knew that there were other countries? Now there are a lot of Hu merchants trading in Datang? Is it mainly to bring Western Regions specialties to sell? It also transports Tang specialties to sell to East Asian countries in the Western Regions.
"Having said that, but the distance is far away, the trade is inconvenient, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are not enough to carry the burden, let alone the small neighboring countries? Moreover, at this time, there were already people in the court doing it, but the effect was not obvious. ”
Jiang Wei smiled, for the piece of silk cloth, he recently made Li De pay special attention, the imperial court's approach is to reduce the trade tax of border commodities and encourage merchants in the Western Regions to buy it.
If this is placed in modern times, it can be said to be a very good policy, but at this time, the effect is there. But it is far from alleviating.
"Does Li Gongzi know, East Asia? That is, the west of the Western Regions, Persia Daqin, etc., how many countries are there? How many people are there in that area? ”
His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji were not clear about this, and shook their heads a little blankly for a while.
Jiang Wei knew that they didn't know. He asked Persia that before the war, the population of Persia was close to 10 million. In addition, Rome, which has a population larger than the Tang Dynasty, as well as the region of India, and dozens of small countries in other places. and Europe.
Although most of Europe is still a noble domain model and there are constant wars, France has been founded, and the sun never sets on it, and now several small states have been established. The demand for silk cloth is also great.
It's just that in the past, the price was very high, and ordinary people couldn't afford it, and only nobles were eligible to wear silk.
Jiang Wei didn't say anything else, so he told His Majesty Li Er about the forms, populations, and markets of East Asian countries and Europe.
His Majesty Li Er may have heard of the situation over there for the first time, although he has also understood it, but he does not have such an intuitive understanding as now.
His Majesty Li Er's eyes became brighter and brighter when he saw Jiang Wei, and when he thought of the loyal Yue Feichuan who served the country, there was a burst of heat in his heart.
There are many geniuses, and there are also many good ministers. But he can understand the past and the present, know the future, and grasp the immortal law. If such a person is allowed to stay outside the court and not use it for himself, His Majesty Li Er feels that he didn't come earlier before.
"Jiang Gongzi is interested in entering the court as an official?"
Jiang Wei's body stiffened, and he glanced at His Majesty Li Er in surprise, holding back his mouth, feeling that he was talking too much? Knowing that the other party is His Majesty Li Er, he still says so much? Even if His Majesty Li Er doesn't know how to open up the market, can't he borrow someone else's mouth?
Having said that, Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh, what should have come is still here.
"Hehe, Li Gongzi doesn't know."
Jiang Wei smiled and said,
"Since ancient times, we immortals have never entered the court, and we have devoted our lives to the study of immortal knowledge and all kinds of truths in the world. And the court is just a waste of time for those of us. ”
His Majesty Li Er shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Jiang Wei's words.
"What did Jiang Gongzi learn? What is the use of what you have learned? Never thought of using what you learned to enter the court and benefit the people of the world? ”
"Li Gongzi has an overreputation."
Jiang Wei put away his smile and said seriously,
"How broad and profound is the knowledge of the Immortal Family, how dare we be half-hearted? Entering the court, for us and others, it is really abandoning jade and choosing rough stone, and in the end we will only achieve nothing. ”
His Majesty Li Er looked at Jiang Wei, and when he saw that he was serious, he didn't know what to say for a while. His idea was to sincerely hope that Jiang Wei would enter the court, and he also admired Jiang Wei very much. The most important thing is that you can reach him at any time and don't let him run around.
It can be seen that his attitude towards the court is very repulsive, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the gaze cast by His Majesty Li Er,
"Jiang Gongzi, is there something wrong with this. Entering the court as an official is a matter for the country and the people, and it is a rough stone? If Jiang Gongzi is willing to enter the court as an official, this is a blessing for the people. ”
