"Why not?" The bearded guest said with a natural face, "Didn't you still want me to go to the Americas before, but at that time I thought that the Americas were just a wild place, and it was not worth spending time and energy at all, but now after seeing the Americas with my own eyes, I found that it is an incomparably rich land, not to mention the Tsukushi Island where I am staying now, even if it is ten Japanese countries, it is not as good as the Americas, why don't I go to such a good place?" ”

Li Xiu was also dumbfounded by the series of words of the bearded guest, he did have the intention to fool the bearded guest to the Americas, so as not to cause chaos to the Tang Dynasty, but at that time the two had no feelings, and now although Li Xiu does not completely regard the bearded guest as his uncle, at least he is also a friend, and his perspective is different, and his views are naturally different. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uncle, you have to think clearly, the Americas are so far away from the Central Plains, it will take at least half a year to come and go, in case your connection with the Central Plains is interrupted, then in the future, my children and grandchildren will slowly become real Americans, and forget that they are from the Central Plains." Li Xiu said with a cautious face at this time, he hoped that the bearded guest would think about this issue carefully.

However, to Li Xiu's surprise, he saw that the bearded guest laughed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, nephew, but I have also thought about this problem a long time ago, and I have already thought of a countermeasure, have you ever heard of such a sentence?" ”

"What?" Li Xiu asked curiously.

"Yidi has a king, it is better to die in Zhuxia." The bearded guest said with a smile.

"This ...... Isn't it the words of Confucius, but what does it have to do with your trip to America? Li Xiu said with a confused face, he knew the meaning of Confucius's words, which meant that barbarians did not understand etiquette, even if there was a virtuous monarch, but it was not as good as Huaxia without the leadership of the monarch, this sentence has a strong nationalism, if you chew carefully, you can also feel a sour taste from it.

"Of course it has a relationship, Confucius thinks that the biggest difference between barbarians and Huaxia is etiquette, so think on the other hand, if barbarians understand the etiquette of Huaxia, then are they still barbarians?" The bearded guest smiled again and said, don't look at his rudeness, and he is a pirate king who kills people without blinking, but in essence, he still has Confucianism in his mind, and for them, the division of Huayi is not divided by nationality or region, but by thought.

"If Yidi enters China, then China will be Chinese, and if China enters Yidi, then Yidi will be Yidi!" Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper to himself when he heard this, this sentence was mentioned by many readers in later generations, but it was not said by Confucius, but by Han Yu when he commented on Confucius's sentence.

"If Yidi enters China, then China will be! Hahaha~, good! All right! That's it, I didn't expect you kid to be really talented, and said what I thought in my heart but couldn't say it, that's what Lao Tzu meant! When the bearded man heard this, he couldn't help laughing and complimenting, and that's what he meant.

"I understand, uncle, do you mean that you want to spread the Chinese etiquette to the Americas?" At this time, Li Xiu stared at the bearded guest a little sluggishly, and the whole person's brain was in a state of panic, because he didn't expect the bearded guest to dare to think and do more than him, and this idea was beyond his expectations.

"That's right, although those Mayans are much more civilized than the ordinary natives, but in my opinion, their level of civilization is still very low, especially the reverence for the gods, only need to use a little means, it is easy to take advantage of this, but their sacrifices are very amazingly knowledgeable, but this can't change the overall situation, if it really doesn't work, just do their sacrifices, there are simply too many ways to kill people without knowing ghosts." The bearded man nodded.

When it came to the end, the bearded guest's tone had become very cold-blooded, strictly speaking, he and Li Shimin were the same kind of people, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, everything was based on interests, but he was older and looked at fame and fortune a little lighter, which made him a little more human than Li Shimin, which was also the main reason why Li Xiu was willing to treat him as a friend.

Hearing the cold-blooded words of the bearded guest, Li Xiu felt chills all over his body, there is no need to doubt the talent and means of the bearded guest, Li Jing was taught by him, and he has also established a large force overseas, and he is the pirate king of the Tang Dynasty, and now this bloody pirate king has taken a fancy to the Americas, and it is unceremonious to say that the Mayans over there are like children to the bearded guest, and there is no room for resistance at all.

"Uncle, you want the Mayans to accept Chinese culture and etiquette, this is not an easy task, have you really thought about it?" Li Xiu asked again at this time, he still had great doubts about this matter.

"Of course I think about it, the sage's greatest wish is to educate the people, so that everyone knows etiquette and etiquette, but the Central Plains doesn't need me to educate, then I'll go overseas, I'm fifty-three years old this year, Sage Kong lived seventy-three years old, if I can live this long, then there are still twenty years, when Gou Jian used ten years of life and reunion, ten years of education, and finally defeated the powerful Wu State, I spent all these twenty years on education, I don't believe that I can't create a small Huaxia!" When the bearded man said this, there was also an ambitious look in his eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the bearded guest, Li Xiu suddenly had a realization in his heart, the reason why the bearded guest went to the Americas was actually very complicated, firstly, he did have the heart to benefit the people of the Central Plains, and secondly, he was a person with a good name, hoping to take advantage of this to be famous for centuries.

Finally, there is a very important point, that is, after giving up the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, the bearded guest suddenly lost his life pursuit, and as a result, the America in Li Xiu's mouth just filled this gap and made him have a new pursuit. But now that he has been to the Americas, he has lost his pursuit again, but this time he didn't need Li Xiu to help him, and he found a pursuit in life, that is, to establish a new China in the Americas.

"This ...... Now that the uncle has made up his mind, the little nephew won't say anything, I just hope that the uncle will take care of everything! Li Xiu hesitated at this time and said helplessly.

The bearded guest and he are two completely opposite people, he is now indisputable with the world, and his greatest wish is to live a lazy life like this, but the bearded guest is different, to describe his words in one word, that is, "toss", and fortunately he withdrew from the Central Plains hegemony, otherwise the entire Central Plains would not know what he tossed into it?

"What you said reminded me, although I am physically strong, but I am indeed old, this time I feel a little difficult to go to sea, not as energetic as these young men as Eleven, it seems that I have to learn some health care from Taoists in the future, as for the wine, I have to quit, it hurts my body too much, so as not to live less than twenty years, so that the previous efforts will be in vain!" The bearded man finally touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little speechless, but at the same time, he also felt the horror of people like the bearded guest, in order to achieve his goal, he was so addicted to alcohol that he was able to quit drinking, with this kind of determination, what else could he not do?

After eating, Li Xiu personally made tea for the bearded guest, he was the second person who was fortunate enough to see Li Xiu's tea ceremony, for this novel tea ceremony, the bearded guest was also very curious, and he was not like Ma Ye, after tasting the tea, he also praised loudly, it seems that he also likes this kind of fried tea very much.

"Uncle, since you want Brother Eleven to marry Qu Yi, why don't you take her directly to Zhuzi Island, I heard Brother Eleventh say that you seem to agree to go back to Zhuzi Island first, and then come to me?" Li Xiu took a sip of tea at this time and chatted casually, he had actually asked the first half of this question just now, but the bearded guest did not answer.

"It's very simple, I want Eleven and Qu Yi to hold a wedding here in Chang'an, and then give birth to this grandson in Chang'an, and even if possible, I also hope that this grandson will grow up in Chang'an, and then I will bring him to the Americas!" The bearded guest tasted the tea ceremony again, this tea was really good, and he decided to ask Li Xiu for a few catties when he left.

"Why?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this.

"Hehe, why did you forget, I want to establish a small Huaxia overseas, this child will definitely inherit my and Eleven's position in the future, and if I want to continue my hard work, it is natural for him to understand that he is a Chinese since he was a child, but it's a pity that his mother is a Mayan, but it doesn't matter, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the core of Huaxia, he grew up here, so he naturally thinks that he is a Chinese, so that he can better inherit everything I left him!" The bearded guest explained very calmly.

Li Xiu couldn't help but admire the far-sightedness of the bearded guest when he heard this, this is indeed a good way, Zhang Shiyi and Qu Yi's son is a mixed-race child, if he grew up in the Americas, it is easy to think that he is a Mayan rather than a Chinese, this is the influence of the growth environment on a person, the bearded guest can think of this, it is enough to show that he must have considered and planned this matter for a long time, which also makes Li Xiu more assured.

"By the way, Eleven they want to marry in Chang'an, and they will live in Chang'an for a long time in the future, but I haven't had time to prepare a house for him, so this matter will trouble you!" At this time, I saw the bearded guest speak again, a house is a major event related to livelihood for ordinary people, but for people like the bearded guest, it is not worth mentioning at all.

"No problem, uncle, do you have a fancy place, speaking of which, I have a few gardens on the side of Nanshan, and the scenery is very good, which is very suitable for the eleventh brother and their family to live there." Li Xiu immediately smiled when he heard this, for him now, a house is nothing, and Toma Ye likes to buy a house and buy land, so he gave a few gardens directly to Li Xiu, saying that it was for him to escape the heat in the summer.

"Nanshan is a bit far away, I want Eleven to live near your house, do you have any recommendations?" The bearded man shook his head at this point, and then said what he thought.

"Living near my house?" Li Xiu was a little surprised when he heard this, then he frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly and said, "There really isn't a big mansion near my house, but if you really want Brother Eleven to live, uncle, I can help him build a house nearby." ”

The bearded father and son brought high-yield crops from the Americas regardless of life and death, and a mere house was nothing, even if it was troublesome, Li Xiu would try his best to meet his requirements.

"Then let's build a new house nearby, it's not too far away, it's best to buy them some more land, and let Qu Yixue learn to be in charge, I want this child to grow up like an ordinary person, and I also decided that when the child is older, let him learn with you!" In the end, the bearded guest also pointed at Li Xiudao.

"Huh? Do you want your children to learn from me? Li Xiu couldn't help but cry out with a bitter face when he heard this, how could the bearded guest and Li Shimin have the same virtue, and they didn't ask him if they agreed or not, and sent the child to him?

"What? Are there other people's children who are studying with you? Hearing this, the bearded guest also asked with interest, he thought that only he had thought of this good way, as for Li Chengqian and Li Chengdao to study with Li Xiu, it was after he left, so he didn't know.

"Well, this prince and the eldest son of King Qin are both studying with me, but the situation in Chang'an City was very chaotic some time ago, so I didn't come during this time." Li Xiu replied honestly, there is nothing to hide.

"Okay! Your kid actually brought the two children who are most likely to inherit the throne in the third generation of the Tang Dynasty into the house, according to this view, you are going to be a colt! Hearing this, the bearded guest couldn't help but light up his eyes and said, and he also knew about Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, but he didn't know that Li Xiu had married before.

"Don't mention it, I got married some time ago." Li Xiu smiled bitterly at this time, and then told Li Yuan about forcing him to get married, and did not hide his previous entanglement with Yi Niang.

"Hahaha~, I didn't expect your kid to be so blessed, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty forced you to stuff a woman, but you are really bold enough, even ignoring the etiquette and Princess Pingyang to worship in advance, I was foolish enough when I was young, but I don't have the courage like you!" The bearded guest laughed at first, and then said with some appreciation, from the first time he saw Li Xiu, he knew that the other party was a guy who played cards out of common sense.

Li Xiu rolled his eyes at the words of the bearded guest, this guy doesn't care about women at all, in his opinion, marrying anyone is the same, as long as it is in his own interests, and multiple women are like multiple clothes to him, and he doesn't care at all that this dress actually has thoughts and feelings.

"By the way, just now you said that the situation in Chang'an is very chaotic, and even the sons of the prince and the king of Qin dare not go out of the city, what is going on?" The bearded guest suddenly spoke again.

"This matter is a long story, and it has to start with the battle between the crown prince and the king of Qin...... Li Xiu said and told the story of what happened to Li Shimin's brothers during this time, and finally he suddenly thought of a question, and asked with great interest at the moment, "Uncle, didn't you think that King Qin would be the lord of the world, but now that His Majesty is obviously biased towards the crown prince, what do you think King Qin should do?"
