Li Mu looked at Sun Simiao's expression, looked at it for a long time, smiled helplessly, and said, "Old man, I really can't hear what you say, which sentence is true and which sentence is false." ”

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Young man, for the sake of you helping me print the book, I will tell you the truth." I have been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and I can't tell the difference between the true and the false, the false and the true. Only the medical skills are absolutely true, what else...... I've told you all, let me listen to it, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it. ”

"Okay." Li Mu sighed and said, "Then you can tell me, and I will listen to the story." ”

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "This Ziwei Doushu, I learned it from an alien when you were so old." At that time, I was young and curious, so I studied it for a while. Actually, I'm not very proficient in learning, and my talent is not in this, so I barely know a little about it. ”

"But the stranger who taught me crape myrtle doushu told me a lot about the past. If you ask about the demon star, I'll tell you one. ”

Li Mu nodded, looking curious, and urged: "Say it quickly." ”

"Do you know Wang Mang?"

Wang Mang?

Hearing this name, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, this name was too familiar to him. Jokes about Wang Mang are all over the Internet, and in the year of the Olympic Games, Li Mu had seen jokes about Wang Mang.

It is said that he is one of the historical figures who most resembles a time-traveler. Because many of the things Wang Mang did in the late Han Dynasty were very advanced. For example, he took the land for state ownership and then divided it equally among households, and he also abolished the slavery system and strictly bought and sold private slaves. He also controlled prices and strictly forbade bureaucrats and businessmen to raise grain prices. Creation of 'state-owned enterprises', monopolization of salt, iron and wine. Forcing the people to work, if they don't work, there is no food, commend the laborers. He also wrote books, such as "Chinese Dictionary", "Medical Dictionary", "Wedding and Funeral Dictionary", "Literary Dictionary" and other important basic classics, all of which were written by him.

One of the most authentic examples is the excavation of a bronze caliper. The appearance of this bronze caliper is exactly the same as that of later vernier calipers, and even the scale is the same.

According to the further analysis of the author of the article, Wang Mang is not only a traverser, but also a post-80s middle two angry youth traverser. This can be seen from his policy towards the 'four yi' after he took power.

He coerced the Qiang people to "donate" the land around Qinghai Lake to establish Xihai County, so that they could join the existing Beihai County, Nanhai County, and Donghai County in China to make up the "Four Seas". In order to make this wasteland look like a county, compulsory immigration was necessary, and fifty decrees were added in order to increase the number of criminals and meet the needs of immigrants. He also demoted the rulers of the Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Western Regions, and Southwest Yi and other subject states that were originally subject to the Han Dynasty from the original "king" to "marquis". It also recovered and damaged the "Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi", and awarded the "New Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi"; He even changed the Xiongnu Shan Yu to "surrender slaves to surrender", conquered Goguryeo several times, and renamed it "Xia Guli", etc., and so on, and so on.

You must know that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the usurper was the Western Han Dynasty, 5 AD. What he did was unthinkable at the time, not even necessary, and absolutely out of step with the times. Even if his idea is good, it can't be practiced.

As a result, the 'New Dynasty' he established collapsed in less than fifteen years and was replaced by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Li Mu thought about Wang Mang and nodded.

Sun Simiao continued: "Wang Mang is a talented person, and he has risen to become a prince, and he has monopolized power, and he was named the Duke of Anhan. Hanshu records that at that time, no matter how big or small, everything was decided by An Han Gong and Sifu, and later his ambition swelled, and the emperor was young, so he forced his son to become the emperor and changed the name of the country to 'Xin'. After he became emperor, he carried out a lot of inexplicable reforms. In the end, all failed, and there was a locust plague, and the land was thousands of miles away, and the people could not survive, and the people were easy to eat. In the end, the people's anger was aroused, and the Han clan rebelled, and the 'red eyebrows' and 'green forests' rose up to attack the capital, and the new dynasty collapsed, reigning for only 15 years. ”

"That stranger said to me, Wang Mang is a demon star, and he is also a disaster star. And what you are doing now is quite similar to what he is doing. He reforms, you also reform, he has great talents, you are the same, by analogy, don't you think you are very similar? ”

"I don't think so!" Of course Li Mu can't admit it, although he does feel that Wang Mang is likely to be a traverser, but his fate is not very good, and he is a usurper and a thief, if he admits to being like Wang Mang, wouldn't he be in Xuancheng, and one day he Li Mu will also usurp Li Tang's country?

Only a fool admits it.

"I, Li Mu, am dedicated to the people, and I am even more loyal to His Majesty, how can I compare with Wang Mang and others? Don't hurt me, old man, you have to be worthy of the money I spent on printing books for you. ”

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "How many times have I said it, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." I'm not very proficient in Ziwei Doushu, so my calculations may not be accurate. ”

Li Mu secretly said in his heart, this is not allowed, if it is more accurate, Lao Tzu's bottom line will be leaked! Fortunately, he didn't notice the system, otherwise he would have really killed this old man desperately.

After a few more small talks, it was getting dark. Li Zhien came over to inform the cook that the feast had been prepared. Li Mu originally thought that a miracle doctor like Sun Simiao must have paid great attention to health preservation. In his previous life, he had seen people who were healthy, for example, he worked as a manager of a game company, forty years old, with an annual income of 30 million, two children who were dragon and phoenix fetuses, his wife was born as a model, and Xiao San'er was also born as a model, and he also recognized an Internet celebrity female anchor as a "goddaughter", and his life can be described as colorful. He was very afraid of death, and he ate, drank, and drank Lazar, all under the guidance of professionals. Twelve months, the tonic is different every month, the articles forwarded by the circle of friends are not related to work at all, all of them are health classes, and life is called a fine.

Li Mu thought that Sun Simiao was also "healthy" like this, but the eating appearance of Sun Simiao and his apprentice completely shattered his concept of "health preservation".

The meal was arranged by Li Zhien, and she was grateful to Sun Simiao for treating Li Mu's illness, so she spent a lot of money to buy rare vegetables in winter to entertain Sun Simiao. But two plates of green vegetables, they didn't eat a single chopstick. On the contrary, it is the meat of 'making up the number', and the two masters and apprentices are like grabbing, their luck is as fast as flying, and their mouths are full of oil.

Li Mu looked stupid, holding the chopsticks for a long time, and when he reacted and wanted to pick up the vegetables, he found that there was no vegetables to clip except the green vegetables. Look at the two masters and apprentices opposite, one of them has a lamb rib in his hand, and he is gnawing his muscles and brains there.

Li Mu put down his chopsticks and said, "Divine doctor, take the liberty of asking, how long have you not eaten meat?" ”

Sun Simiao wiped the grease stains on his goatee and said: "Let Zhulu Hou see and smile, we master and apprentice, travel all over the world to practice medicine, eat and sleep, eat what we meet, and it is better to entertain patients in the town, if you wander between the villages, the people's homes, how can there be any meat." This journey from Luoyang has been almost twenty days, and I haven't smelled meat. ”

Li Mu wondered: "Divine doctor, you should have a lot of money to treat patients." When you arrive in Chang'an, you can't buy anything with money, so don't be too picky. ”

At this time, Sun Simiao's apprentice spoke, and said, "Master Hou doesn't know, and the master never asks for medical money. The teacher often said that the doctor is benevolent, and when he thinks of the suffering of the patient, how can he bear to force him with money. When he met a rich man, he took the initiative to pay tribute, and the teacher reluctantly accepted it. But it was all spent on the poor, and the master had no more than a thousand dollars. ”

Qianwen, that is, consistent money. I really didn't expect that the dignified doctor only had the usual money on him. This amount of money is just a few days' rations.

Whether it's true or not, looking at the dress of the master and apprentice, it really doesn't look like a rich person. Li Mu suddenly remembered that if he invited someone to come for diagnosis and treatment today, he should also give a consultation fee. There is so much money in the printing of books, and I can't afford to owe a favor for this.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to Li Zhien: "Take the biggest ingots and give the divine doctor a consultation fee." ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhien answered, got up and went to the inner room to take out an ingot. The silver ingots cast by Li Mu are the largest. This one ingot, is a pound of sinking.

Li Mu took the ingots and put them in front of Sun Simiao, and said: "The divine doctor has unparalleled medical skills, after drinking your medicine, I feel a lot better. ”

Sun Simiao suddenly smiled, and said: "Zhuluhou is too polite, the apprentice is just explaining the truth, and he doesn't mean to ask for a doctor!" ”

"Then I'll take it back?"

"But it doesn't have to." Sun Simiao hurriedly put the ingots in his sleeve and said: "Zhulu Hou sincerely gives it away, if I don't accept it, I won't give face." In that case, I'll take it. When he gave herbs to the poor people, he would have told them that this was the merit of the deer marquis. ”

Li Mu laughed, but said in his heart, you old liar, I don't think I'll see you if I believe you!

Seeing the sun set, the door was about to close. Li Mu shouted to Dugu Jiu to send them back to their residence, and he also sent them to the gate, turned around and returned to the backyard, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

At this time on weekdays, Bai Qiaoqiao will prepare to take a bath, which is her habit all along. But today, as if she didn't have this interest, she went to bed alone, with her back to the outside, silent, as if asleep.

Li Zhien sat at the table, holding a sheep's pen in his hand, remembering the expenses in the house today. Seeing that Li Mu was back, he kept glancing at him.

Li Mu didn't know why, Li Zhien was so anxious that he couldn't help it, so he tore off a piece of paper from the account book and wrote a few words to show him. Only then did Li Mu understand what it meant, it turned out that he had said the wrong thing in the afternoon. He didn't choose what to say, saying that Bai Qiaoqiao brought poison, and said that she was going to murder her husband. Bai Qiaoqiao went to her heart, and she was depressed all afternoon.

No wonder I didn't hear her speak when I was eating just now.

Li Mu recalled what he said in the afternoon, and smiled bitterly, I really don't blame others for being angry, empathy, resting on himself, and being angry himself.

Li Mu, you big scumbag!
