Chapter 11: Gossip about the future

"Li Mu, have you thought about the future?" Li Siwen asked suddenly, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Have you thought about it!" ”

Li Siwen showed an interested look and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I want to learn a craft to support my family first, and then open a shop to make more money, so that my mother can ...... My mother, life is better. ”

This is a very official answer, and Li Mu's ambition certainly does not stop there. As a traverser and with a system, isn't it a loss of fate to stir up a stir in this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty! But these words are obviously inappropriate for Li Siwen. So Li Mu thought of a goal that fits his current situation, and it can't be regarded as a fool, and the short-term goal is like this.

Li Siwen listened, sighed, and did not squeak. Li Mu felt strange, so he asked, "Brother Siwen, you asked me, what about you?" ”

"I'm ......" Li Siwen responded, suddenly looked at Li Mu, and said, "Li Mu, don't you be curious about my identity when you hear the old iron head call me Li Gongzi?" ”

How could Li Mu not be curious, he was about to find some reason to ask, but he didn't expect Li Siwen to speak first. How to say this, if Li Siwen didn't take the initiative to speak, Li Mu opened his mouth to ask, and naturally said that he wanted to know. But Li Siwen spoke first, so he had to say it differently.

Li Mu was already determined to carry out his honest character to the end, and said: "If you are willing to say it, you will naturally say it to me, but if you don't want to say it, I will embarrass you if I ask, so it is better not to ask." ”

Li Siwen laughed, patted Li Mu's shoulder hard, and said, "It's better not to ask!" I was not wrong! Li Siwen looked very happy and said, "I respect your filial piety, so there is nothing to hide." Now I will say that I know you and I can't hide it, I am the second son of Li Ji, the Duke of Cao Guo. The people in the army took a look at me because of my father's reputation, and called me son-in-law instead of my official title. Actually, I hate this title, but what can I do, I can't control other people's mouths! ”

Li Mu hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "It turned out to be the prince of Cao Guogong, Li Mu has offended a lot, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Look, it's boring." Li Siwen pulled Li Mu to sit down and said, "I haven't told you all this time, I'm afraid it will be like this." I'll tell you the truth, everyone thinks it's majestic to have a father who is a general, but I really don't feel that way. On the contrary, I am miserable, because no matter whether I do well or badly, people are looking at my father's face, can you understand this feeling? My father is too, afraid that people will say that he defends his son, and it is better to treat me as an ordinary soldier. The record of joining the army was personally sealed by His Majesty, but when he arrived at the barracks, the word "joining the army" was erased by my father...... How did he know I had no plan? If I'm a vertical son, he's my father, what is he? ”

The more Li Siwen spoke, the more depressed he became, and he sighed for a long time.

As a descendant, Li Mu can understand Li Siwen's feelings very well. He is probably equivalent to the rich second generation of later generations, and his father's aura is too dazzling. If you want to start a business, you can't be higher than your father, and if you do something, it's all in front of his father, and there is no sense of accomplishment if you succeed. On the contrary, I always have to listen to my dad say in front of his friends, my son doesn't know how to shit......

"As for the future...... Li Siwen laughed at himself and said: "My future, what can I do." My father's title is inherited by my brother, what about me, if Your Majesty is in a good mood, he will be crowned a captain? Who knows! ”

Seeing that Li Siwen was a little self-defeating, Li Mu couldn't bear it. Although he doesn't know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty, he has heard of it if he is a little more powerful. The name Li Siwen seems to have never had this number in the TV series. It is estimated that in history, he has not done much. However, Li Mu did not underestimate him because of this, just with Li Siwen's sincere help in the past few days, it was worth him to make this friend.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Aren't you in the army now?" If you can make military achievements, Your Majesty will definitely reward you. ”

"Hah! Meritorious military achievements? Li Siwen seemed to have heard some joke, laughed for a while, and said, "What military achievements do you think I can make here?" His Majesty appointed me to join the army, originally wanting me to make some military merits, but my father ...... When the army was launched, I took over the right to join the army, and when I arrived in this Dingxiang City, I was simply sent to be a master, and I lived with the pen every day. Now the army is chasing the remnants of the Turks, and there is not a single Turk within a radius of 300 miles from Dingxiang City, how can you let me make military achievements? ”

That's just as well. Li Mu didn't know how to comfort him, and Li Siwen's situation at the moment was indeed a little difficult. Looking at the various practices of his father Li Ji, it is obvious that he doesn't want his son to join the army, otherwise, as the head of the army all the way, even if he doesn't deliberately create opportunities, he can take Li Siwen to march and fight normally, and he can earn a lot of military merits. Li Shimin will definitely reward him in front of Li Ji and give him a good future.

Li Siwen sighed and said, "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I want to write to Your Majesty and ask to stay in Dingxiang County." This Dingxiang city is an important border city and a fortress place. Although this time the Turks were pacified, but there is still Xue Yantuo in the north, the battle will start sooner or later, I will stay here to operate, and when he restarts the war in Japan, I will be a loyal minister who guards the city, even if the reinforcements do not arrive, and the enemy breaks the city, I will die in the city, and leave a name in history! ”

Speaking of this, Li Siwen's face was already solemn, as if that day had come. Li Mu was stunned by the side, what kind of prince of the country, he is a second-year teenager, and he is also a second-year teenager who has added a lot of drama to his head.

Of course, Li Mu would not pierce it, nodded his head, and praised with a look of approval that could not be more disapprove: "The husband should be like this!" ”

"Do you think too?" Li Siwen was very happy to meet his bosom friend, patted his thigh, and said: "It's decided, I'll go write a recital book immediately, and strive to settle this matter before my father returns to his teacher, otherwise he will definitely make a hindrance." ”

After Li Siwen finished speaking, he jumped up and patted his ass and ran. Li Mu looked at him and smiled helplessly, how much this guy wants to prove himself, holding back like this. He actually wanted to ask about the secret method, but now it seemed that he had to wait for Li Siwen to ask next time he came.

After resting for half a day, the sweat on my body has also disappeared. Li Mu looked at the physical strength value and still had 70 points, and decided to do two more furnaces to end today's work. Suddenly, he noticed the record of the iron ingots that had just been smelted, and his eyebrows raised. When iron ingots were first smelted, gold and copper impurities were produced in addition to iron ingots*1.

Li Mu looked up at the records and found that every time he smelted iron ore, gold impurities or copper impurities were produced. The system does not record worthless data, and since it specifically identifies these two impurities, it means that they are useful. Li Mu's heart moved, picked up a piece of slag on the ground, and a system prompt immediately appeared in his mind.

[Gold impurities, iron ore associated, can be refined into gold. 】.

Li Mu immediately threw this piece of gold impurity into the furnace, and refined it silently in his heart.

[You don't know how to forge yet: refining metal, please learn first.] Elementary Smithing: Refining metal, costing 5 gold in silver, do you want to learn? 】.

Li Mu was ecstatic and immediately shouted confirmation in his heart!
