Li Xiu didn't expect that the always arrogant and willful Misia would kneel down for himself at the end and beg for his guidance, which made him stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but show a contemplative expression, while Misia kept kneeling there motionless, as if as long as Li Xiu didn't agree, she wouldn't get up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Alda, who was behind Misia, didn't expect her to do this, at first he wanted to pull Misia up, but then he dispelled this idea, and even began to look at Li Xiu with pleading eyes.

After they came to Chang'an, they already knew that in addition to the emperor, there were two ministers who could influence the political situation, namely the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiu, especially Li Xiu, he was not only an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, but also famous for his intelligence.

It is precisely because she has heard countless legends about Li Xiu that in the heart of Misia, Li Xiu can be called the first wise man in the Tang Dynasty, so in the most desperate time, she will completely let go of her dignity, hoping to get the guidance of this wise man, after all, now their Persian royal family has reached the moment of life and death, if they go back with nothing, I am afraid that the fate of their Persian royal family will be very miserable.

"Would you really like to hear what I think?" Li Xiu pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and then stared at Misia and asked slowly.

"Yes, my Persian royal family is in great trouble, and I ask His Royal Highness the Duke to guide me and wait!" Misia spoke again with a serious expression at this time, in fact, she is a very smart woman, otherwise she would not have been selected as an envoy, but she was born in a royal family, and she has some arrogance that she doesn't understand, so she seemed a little willful before, but now she has finally come to her senses, which is also a common problem of many young people.

Seeing that Misia's attitude was sincere, Li Xiu did not refuse, and after a moment of sinking, he spoke again: "Since you want to hear it, then I will give you an analysis of the current situation in your Persia!" ”

Li Xiu took a deep breath when he said this, and then spoke again: "Persia was already in civil strife, and encountered the rapid rise of the Great Cannibal, you can't compete at all, even if you have the support of our Tang Dynasty now, your chances of winning are extremely small, and the only thing you can rely on is to form an alliance with the Byzantine Empire to fight against the rising Great Eclipse, but even so, I am not optimistic about the future of Persia, and no matter whether Persia wins or loses, the fate of your Persian royal family will be very miserable!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Misia also showed a sad expression, indeed, the rise of the Great Cannibals was almost unstoppable, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to Datang to ask for help. And whether Persia can defeat the Great Food or not, the situation of their Persian royal family will be very bad, not to mention defeated, if they win, the real power behind Bahra will also purge the Persian royal family.

"In this way, you Persian royal family seems to be a dead end, but there is a common saying among us, I wonder if you have heard of it?" At this moment, I saw Li Xiu smile again and speak.

"Please teach the country!" Misia also knew that it was a critical moment at this time, and asked Li Xiu again at the moment, she now completely recognized the reality, and there was no longer half a point of arrogance on her body, which made Li Xiu feel much more comfortable, after all, asking for someone must always look like asking for someone.

"Do you understand the meaning of the saying that the tree dies and the man lives?" Li Xiu smiled and said a very common saying, these sayings are the life experience summed up by the Central Plains for thousands of years, and only after careful pondering can you realize the deep meaning.

"Trees die, people live?" Although Misia has worked the Chinese language, and even some ordinary idioms can be used at her fingertips, she still does not know much about these colloquialisms, and although she can understand the superficial meaning, she does not have time to ponder the deeper meaning.

Seeing that Misia was puzzled, Li Xiu smiled at the moment, and then explained: "In the past, your Persian royal family held the military and political power of Persia, and officials at all levels obeyed the orders of your royal family. ”

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu pause for a moment, and then said: "But now your Persian royal family has long lost its grasp of Persia, on the surface, you are still a big tree, but in fact you have no roots, let alone control the land of Persia, in this case, you are actually more like a rootless duckweed, in other words, you can actually move to other places at any time, after all, you are people not trees, this is the meaning of people's life!" ”

Although Li Xiu said a lot, the meaning is actually very simple, the Persian royal family has lost the basis for ruling Persia, if you stay there any longer, it will only be a dead end, but it is better to move outside and live like an ordinary person, so that although you have lost your power, you can at least save your life, of course, this is not everyone can have such determination!

Misia also showed a contemplative expression after hearing this, and the face of Alda behind her was also very tangled, and she was also thinking about Li Xiu's words, although they all knew that Li Xiu was telling the truth, but sometimes the naked truth was more difficult to accept.

After a long while, I saw that Misia solemnly saluted Li Xiu and said: "Thank you for your guidance, I understand what you mean, but I want to ask one more question, if our Persian royal family moves, is the Tang Dynasty willing to accept us?" ”

"Haha~, my Datang is open-minded, and it has always been inclusive, you have probably seen it in Chang'an during this time, there are tens of thousands of Hu people living here, and a considerable number of them are Persians, so if you are willing to come, our Datang is naturally very welcome, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask Your Majesty in person!" Li Xiu laughed out loud at this time.

Although Li Shimin chose to support the Persian forces of Bahra's faction, it does not mean that he will give up the Persian royal family, especially if the Persian royal family is willing to move to the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty holding a trump card to contain Persia, whether Persia exists or dies, the Tang Dynasty will have an excuse to intervene in the vast land of Persia in the future. In fact, in history, Li Shimin's reception of the exiled princes of Persia also had such thoughts, but it is a pity that the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous and declined, and he was unable to use this card at all.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice, Misia!" After pondering, Misia suddenly made a big bow to Li Xiu again, and then stood up to say goodbye to him, and Li Xiu did not stay, and personally sent them out of the mansion.

Looking at the people who were drifting away, Misia and Alda and others, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, if Persia couldn't survive the rise of the Great Cannibal, I am afraid that the Persian Empire, which had been inherited for thousands of years, would really die, and this time it was not a change of dynasty, but a complete disappearance in the long river of history, after all, the nation that has lost its Persian tradition and beliefs, even if the bloodline and land are there, and even the Persian incense car in the future, it is no longer possible to be called Persia.

As for whether Misia listened to his own ones, Li Xiu was not worried, anyway, the words had already been spoken, how to choose depends on these Persians, anyway, even if they don't come this time, Persia will die in the future, and the historical Persian prince will probably go into exile to the Tang Dynasty, so Misia's choice does not have much impact on the Tang Dynasty.

The improvement of ginning machines and textile machines is still continuing, Li Xiu has also introduced many new technologies, such as the application of gears, and the wooden barrel of the ginning machine is changed to a leather barrel, the textile machine is actually two kinds of machines, namely spinning machines and looms, Li Xiu also made some improvements to them, and even Li Xiu also proposed to use water power to make the power of the machine, Yang Dui also felt that it was very feasible, after all, the waterwheels were ready-made, but now the planting of cotton is not yet large-scale, and this powerful power is not needed for the time being.

"Buzz~" In a room in the backyard of the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, a spinning wheel is rapidly transferring, driving several spindles to roll up white cotton threads, this is a spinning machine improved by Li Xiu, which can spin several spindles at a time, which is very similar to the Jenny machine in later history.

And next to the spinning machine, there is a very tall loom, a young official sits behind the loom, is seriously weaving a cotton cloth, although the man weaving looks a little funny, but no one in the room laughs, Li Xiu and a few craftsmen have been observing the operation of the two machines, when there are some ideas, they will also write down in a small book, so that they can be improved in the future.

"Come and see, the cloth woven by our loom is much stronger than Gaochang cloth, although it is not as smooth and delicate as silk, but it can be regarded as a superb good cloth!" At this moment, I saw Yang Dui holding a roll of Gaochang cloth in his hand, and said to Li Xiu excitedly while comparing it with the newly woven cloth.

Li Xiu also hurriedly walked over when he heard this, and then compared it with Gaochang cloth, and found that it was the same cotton cloth, and his newly woven cotton cloth was much more delicate, and if it was dyed again, it was not comparable to this rough Gaochang cloth.

"Yes, yes, when the output of cotton goes up, our cotton cloth will definitely replace linen, and even be exported overseas, becoming a hot commodity for those Hu businessmen!" Li Xiu was also very happy at this time.

As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then a guard walked in quickly, and then whispered a few words in Li Xiu's ear, but his face couldn't help but change, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
