Li Mu remembered the butterfly effect, the so-called butterfly effect, originated from the American meteorologist Edward, in order to illustrate that long-term and accurate weather prediction is impossible, he used a very poetic expression: a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, occasionally flapping a few wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, the United States two weeks later. As a traverser, Li Mu knew very well that he was the butterfly.

Datang has undergone a lot of changes because of his appearance.

Li Siwen in history is not well known, and the only thing that remains in the history books is not very glorious. When Wu Zetian was the emperor, he relied on Li Ji's door shadow to worship the history of Runzhou. His nephew Li Jingye rebelled, Li Siwen knew about Li Jingye's conspiracy, and sent a messenger to report to the imperial court in advance. Li Jingye's subordinates asked him to be beheaded for public display, but Li Jingye disagreed and said to Siwen: "Uncle Ah is attached to the Wu family, and his surname should be changed to Wu." ”

Later, Li Jingye was exterminated, and Wu Zetian heard about it and really changed his surname to Wu. When later generations commented on this matter, they called it the surname Sanyi. That is, Xu Shiji was given the surname Li, and Li Shimin was shunned to remove the word "world" and called it Li Ji. His son Li Siwen was given the surname Wu, Xu, Li, Wu, and Sanyi. Changing the surname always involved a little derogatory meaning in ancient times, so Li Siwen in history was not very glorious.

But because of the arrival of Li Mu, Li Siwen is now among the 'second generation of officials' in the Tang Dynasty, and he can also be called a leader. Although he hasn't done anything big and made a particularly big feat, look at his current achievements. At the age of sixteen, he defended the city to resist the remnants of Princess Yicheng, and then he was awarded the title of viscount, and he was awarded the rank of captain, built a new city, opened up trade routes, and resettled the homeless, all of which were praised within a radius of hundreds of miles. When the Tang Dynasty fought against Gaochang, although there was no achievement in the frontal battlefield, in terms of logistics and supply, it was perfect, and even his father Li Ji, who was known for his prudence, rarely praised him.

Such Li Siwen, among the younger generation of Datang, no matter who is convinced or not, he has to admit his excellence.

There are many similar situations, such as the eldest grandson Wuji. In the early years of Zhenguan, if you talk about the powerful ministers in the court, it is the eldest grandson Wuji. He called the second, no one dared to call the first, who dared to tease his tiger whiskers? But when Li Mu came, he not only dared to tease, but at present, it seems that he has won. The eldest grandson couldn't do anything to harm him, and was ordered by Li Shimin to recuperate at home-

Wang Jue, in history, he was smooth sailing, and after being called back by Li Shimin, he successively served as a counselor, a waiter at the Yellow Gate, a waiter in the middle of the service, a thorn in the same state, and a secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Li Shimin handed over his favorite son Li Tai to him to teach, and this alone shows the importance he attaches to him. Li Tai's ambition was also gradually formed under his teaching.

But after Li Mu came, Wang Qi became a wall grass swaying from side to side. Before he could show his strategy, he had already left class and returned to his hometown.

Relations with neighboring countries also have an impact.

Zhenla Kingdom, historically and the Tang Dynasty, that is, there is a relationship of 'you send me an elephant, I give you Ayaluo', but Li Mu came, he knew that Zhenla had rice seeds, so Li Chongyi brought five hundred brocade guards over, and in a daze, he took Zhenla and Linyi all, and the territory of Datang expanded thousands of miles to the south, with one more county.

In history, the Western Turks did not go east, but after Li Mu came, the Western Turks went east, and because of Li Mu's relationship, they became a brotherly country with the Tang Dynasty. In history, there was a big war with the Tang Dynasty in Songzhou, and now because of the alliance between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty, this battle did not start, and because of internal contradictions, the prince was also sent to be a proton.

Historically, 'Tian Khan' was just a title when Li Shimin communicated with the nomads, but now, Tian Khan has become an official honorific title and has been recognized by the 36 countries of the Western Regions.

In addition to these, Li Mu also brought printing, glass, perfume, soap, and banks to Datang in advance-

All of these things are imperceptibly changing history.

Wu Zenaïve will he really not be the emperor because of me?

Li Mu thought about it very seriously, if the current situation continued, when Li Shimin died with a bang, he was still alive in the world, he should not allow Wu Zetian to be the emperor. And if it continues to develop according to the current situation, Li Zhi in infancy should have no chance to be the emperor. Li Tai will not have the idea of replacing Li Chengqian, and the successor of Datang should still be Li Chengqian.

If Li Chengqian became the emperor, Wu Zetian would have no chance. However, in order to make this incident completely impossible to happen, Li Mu still decided that if he had the opportunity to go to Lizhou in the future, he would still solve this matter. In fact, there is no need to kill people, just find a way to let this future empress marry. She's only five years old now, it's still too early to think about it, and it's just a matter of thinking about it in ten years.

Li Mu thought wildly for a while, and the carriage arrived at the door of the house. Li Mu got out of the carriage and smelled a fragrance. When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that there was meat stewed in the cauldron. When I got closer, it was still beef, and I was stunned for three seconds, then turned around and was about to go out.

"Virtuous nephew, why do you want to leave? It's almost dark, what's the urgency? ”

A familiar voice sounded, Li Mu had to stand still, turned around, and squeezed out a smile: "Uncle Cheng, why are you so empty?" ”

"I didn't have time to find you." Cheng Biting Jin laughed heartily, patted Li Mu's shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, you don't want me, I miss you-"

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "If there is anything wrong with my uncle, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." ”

"There's a little thing." Cheng Biting Jin's face was already as thick as the city wall of Chang'an City, and he himself felt polite, Li Mu's words were exactly what he wanted: "I heard Cheng Qian say that you want to build a ship."

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Uncle, this matter has been settled and belongs to the Lanling Xiao family. And I also advise you, the Cheng family's industry is not compatible with this industry, even if it is done for the Cheng family, the Cheng family has no profit, but offends many people. It's not interesting, don't make up your mind. ”

"Oops, you misunderstood." Cheng Yanjin grabbed Li Mu's arm and said, "I don't want to build a ship. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I want to buy a boat!"

"Buying a boat?"

"Yes, buy a boat!" Cheng Biting Jin said categorically, Li Mu saw that his attitude was very serious, not like he was talking casually, and said strangely: "Uncle, I haven't started building this boat yet, you have to buy it, what is this saying?" ”

"You don't care what I do, I'm going to buy it." Cheng Yanjin glared and said, "The first 10,000-stone ship, no matter how much it is, my Cheng family wants it." ”

Li Mu couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "Uncle, the Xiao family spent 170,000 yuan to buy the patent for this shipbuilding. Do you know what a patent means? ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head naturally, Li Mu smiled bitterly, this is really a superfluous question: "Uncle, the Patent Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs-that's it, you go back and ask the shopkeeper Cheng." Anyway, this means that Lanling Xiao bought my drawings, and in the future, the shipbuilding business will be Xiao Shi's business. People build the ship, who to sell it to, who not to sell it, that's the decision, you can't tell me. Suddenly, Li Mu seemed to remember something, and said: "Or you can go and ask Your Majesty, the Wanshi Ship belongs to a first-class patent, a strategic patent, and is subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court." ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned when he heard this, and asked blankly, "What?" Is there still a grade of this patent? ”

"Of course, there is!" Li Mu bit the gold lightly and sat down, and the maid brought a low table, cut the beef, scalded the wine, and brought it up. Li Mu poured a glass of wine for Cheng Yanjin, and the two of them drank it, Li Mu explained: "The system of this grade was also recently determined. Like the official system of the Tang Dynasty, it is divided into nine grades. One product to three products belong to strategic patents. It refers to patents that may endanger the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and in order to prevent them from being coveted by other countries, they must be controlled by the imperial court. It cannot be sold to other countries without permission, and if it is sold privately, it will be punished as a crime. The fourth to sixth products are restricted patents, which only Datang has, not other countries, and will not harm the interests of Datang. As for the seventh grade or less, it is a private patent, and the court does not care about it, and it can be traded casually. ”

The Cheng family's industry is almost technical, and what Li Mu said, Cheng Yanjin didn't understand it at all. But when he heard that it involved 'punishment according to crime', he felt that this matter was still a bit serious, and his curiosity also came up, and he asked: "Then how to calculate the strategy, how to calculate the people, who decides?" ”

"Naturally, it's the Patent Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for example, let's say this 10,000-stone ship. Datang has a 10,000-stone ship, which can not only transport people and goods, but also go on expeditions overseas. Compared with the Wanshi boat, the boats of other countries are like sampans, not to mention water battles, and the waves brought up by them are estimated to be able to overturn them as soon as they walk. Such a national important weapon is naturally a strategic patent. ”

"But if it's spirits, let's say the wine in my winery. Even if it is sold to other countries, it will not harm the interests of Datang. And other countries are not without alcohol. What country can't make wine? So this is a civil patent, and the court doesn't care about it. ”

Cheng Yanjin frowned and said, "I can understand this, I just don't understand, why do you want to apply for a patent?" ”

"To sell for money." Li Mu stuffed a piece of chopsticks into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Let's just say that I sold the drawings of this 10,000-stone ship to the Xiao family, and it will be 170,000 yuan when it changes hands, isn't this money?" ”

"You take it all?"

"That's nature, the boat I designed." Li Mu saw that Cheng was so envious that he was about to deform, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I'm also very tired, okay, are you so easy to build a ship?" If I can't make it, I'll have to pay for it. You haven't said what you're going to buy a boat for. ”

"Alas," Cheng Yanjin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "A few days ago, I saw Your Majesty. It's also idle talk, Your Majesty said that as you said, in the countries of the South China Sea, rice is harvested three times a year, and there are places where there are four crops. As he spoke, Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Mu and said, "Now that the new policy is gradually implemented, the fields of the Tang Dynasty are divided according to the head. Our family's land, in addition to my military merit field, has also been repossessed by the imperial court. I used to sell rice, but now I have to buy rice to eat. If there is a big ship, I find some people to go to sea and occupy the land that you said is three crops a year, so that there will be no worries about food and money, wouldn't it be beautiful! ”

Li Mu understood when he heard it, and dared to bite the gold because he couldn't be a landlord in Datang, and wanted to go to the South China Sea to be a landlord. can have such thinking, Li Mu really has to admire. Who said that Cheng Yanjin is a rough person, this mind is delicate!

"Uncle, you can't say that your thoughts are wrong, it's just-"

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes widened and said, "You just don't want to sell it to me!" ”

"Oh, I didn't tell you, this matter has to be decided by the Xiao family and His Majesty. I have already sold the patent to others, I have collected all the money, signed the contract, if I make an exception for you, according to the contract, I will have to pay three times the amount of compensation. Three times as much as 170,000 guan, 510,000 guan, what compensation do I get? If you have the money, then give it to me, and I'll give it away. ”

"I don't have any money!" Cheng Yanjin didn't think about it, and blurted out. What are you kidding, more than 500,000 yuan, Cheng's family has been tossed and sold inside and out, and he doesn't have this family background.

"Uncle, the matter of buying a boat is a trivial matter. The Xiao family spent such a big price to buy my patent, and he must be in business. You also have face with Your Majesty, Your Majesty has never doubted it. Li Mu understood when he heard it, and dared to bite the gold because he couldn't be a landlord in Datang, and wanted to go to the South China Sea to be a landlord. can have such thinking, Li Mu really has to admire. Who said that Cheng Yanjin is a rough person, this mind is delicate!

"I don't have any money!" Cheng Yanjin didn't think about it, and blurted out. What are you kidding, more than 500,000 yuan, Cheng's family has been tossed and sold inside and out, and he doesn't have this family background.
