"That's very good. Virtuous nephew, I think it's up to you to tell you your own opinion. ”

I had a banana, but I didn't expect to spare it for a while, and then I spared Lao Tzu back, and in the end, Lao Tzu had to make a statement. Hey, sure enough, Tai Chi is not very good these days, especially if you meet middle-aged and elderly people, you can only do radio gymnastics.

"That, Uncle Liu, Tianyu thinks that since this marriage is a lifelong event for both men and women, in principle, it should be emphasized that both men and women are completely voluntary, oh, that is, wishful thinking, otherwise, the twisted melon is not sweet. Therefore, Tianyu thinks that it is not too late for his uncle to make a decision after personally asking Ruoran's sister's opinion. "It's noisy, since this problem is pushed back to the people present, then Lao Tzu is now pushing it to the people who are not there, so I don't have to worry about this problem being pushed back by the people who are not there.

"Well, it's rare for a virtuous nephew to have this kind of insight, but the virtuous nephew also said that the parents should decide the major matters of marriage. So now, the old man will answer for my family. Of course, if you want to come to my house, Ran'er won't blame the old man. The virtuous nephew just said his opinion. In other words, the old man is very much looking forward to the day when the old man can no longer call you 'virtuous nephew', but call you 'virtuous son-in-law'! ”

"Well, since that's the case, Tianyu can only confess to Uncle Liu. Don't hide it from Uncle Liu, you said, Tianyu and Sister Ruoran are familiar at first sight, and they have a feeling of knowing each other. The crowd has been looking for her thousands of times, but they can't get it...... Ah no, I suddenly looked back, but the Qing people were already beside me. If you have such a confidant in life, then you will die without regrets! Seeing the situation, Li Tianyu had no choice but to hurriedly show his uncle Liu his unswerving heart first.

"Well, the old man really didn't look away, since that's the case, then ......"

"Wait! Uncle Liu, I won't tell you anything, in fact, in addition to Sister Ruoran, Tianyu has already had a few confidants. And Tianyu's heart for them is the same as his heart for Sister Ruoran, and naturally Tianyu never thought of separating them into wives and concubines. "Both horizontal and vertical are dead, anyway, these things will have to be faced sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity proposed by Uncle Liu to find out now. In other words, it is not easy to be a man, and it is really not easy to be able to do this to the point of Lao Tzu.

After Li Tianyu's words came out, except for our father Li, who was a little surprised, everyone else did not feel too surprised. Needless to say, Mother Li, Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai have seen these confidantes mentioned by Tianyu, although they are slightly inferior to Liu Ruoran's family background, but none of them seem to be concubines for others. So the two of them didn't feel much surprise. And our Uncle Liu never felt a trace of surprise, but still looked at Li Tianyu with a smile even more appreciation.

"The virtuous nephew is so affectionate and meaningful, and he values love and righteousness, but he teaches the old man to respect and admire him even more."

"Where, how dare Tianyu, how dare you." Anyway, I can't understand that he said that I am amorous and lustful, but it doesn't seem like this to Uncle Liu's eyes. And so far, in addition to holding my Mengyao's little hand, hugging him by the way, at most kissing him, he has never done anything further, and he has even refused such a feat as going to the Qinglou several times.

In fact, our Uncle Liu has already seen that his virtuous son-in-law is different and outstanding, so he is not much surprised that Li Tianyu will have these emotional entanglements, and he is not too surprised by his alternative proposition in terms of feelings. It's not a big talk, just with the talent, insight and bearing of this virtuous nephew, if he is seen by the emperor, it is not impossible to make him a concubine. Of course, this also just shows that this virtuous son-in-law is deeply appreciated by everyone.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too excessive and harsh for a husband to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, a young man as outstanding as a virtuous nephew is admired by many talented ladies in the boudoir gate. Dare to ask whose young ladies are those confidantes of the virtuous nephew? Although Liu Yunlong didn't care about Li Tianyu's three wives and four concubines, he still cared about what those confidantes he looked at, after all, not everyone could compare with his daughter, and he was also very curious about what kind of daughter would someone as interesting as a virtuous nephew look at?

"Don't hide it from Uncle Liu, those people are actually Ruoran's sister has also seen them. But at the moment, Tianyu and them are only in the stage of falling in love, oh, they just haven't bowed three times and nine knocks, and they got married, so they don't dare to talk about it here. After Li Tianyu remembered Feng Mengyao's life experience, he knew that it was impossible for him to confess to everyone at this moment, and judging from the secrets that Old Man Han said last time, Uncle Liu was afraid that there was a misunderstanding between Uncle Liu and Old Man Han. Uncle Liu cherished his talents, so he recommended Old Man Han to the emperor to be the crown prince, but Old Man Han was already allergic to these royal political matters, so there was a slight gap between him and Uncle Liu. In this case, it is better not to say it for the time being, anyway, Old Man Han also acquiesced last time that he would not interfere with the private affairs of Lao Tzu's children, so this Uncle Liu will not be able to. Besides, Liu Ruoran and Han Di'er, two talented women who are knowledgeable and reasonable, should have a lot of common language, even if they can't reach the height of sympathy, I think it's not a problem to reach the height of getting along. As for Miss Kang's words, let's not think about it for the time being, God knows if she still hates Lao Tzu in her heart now.

"Isn't it Miss Kang, Miss Han, and today's Miss Qin! I see, it won't be long before they will come to propose to you, Brother Tian. Xiao Zhengtai on the side saw his brother Tian acting like this, and remembered what the old man of the Qin family said when he went to the Qin family today, and couldn't help but say it directly for his brother Tian.

Our Li Tianyu didn't have time to get angry after seeing Xiao Hao sell himself in an instant, but he was already frightened by Xiao Hao's words.

"What? And the Qin family?! ”

Li Tianyu's exclamation also attracted various reactions from the elders present. Our mother Li sighed helplessly, but she was angry and funny; But Father Li didn't expect that his Bao'er had been involved with so many famous families in Yangzhou, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised; Liu Yunlong admired it when he heard it, this virtuous nephew really didn't have to say, the Kang family and the Han family alone were already very not simple, and now he didn't seem to have taken the Qin family to heart at all, it was really terrifying, no wonder he didn't want to divide these confidantes into a wife and concubine.

"What do you think, Brother Tian?" Xiao Zhengtai saw that this brother didn't look like he was pretending to be stupid, so he also asked.

"Tianyu, you have been saved by Miss Qin twice, and you have helped the Qin family, and you are so outstanding, it is not surprising that Master Qin will have such a heart. I and Xiaohao can also see these clearly, why are you confused? ”

"But even so, then I just have affection for that Miss Qin, this is not a relationship at all, right? Besides, the situation at that time was that anyone would have pulled out a knife to help. What's more, the two of you have also participated, so you two should also have a share. ”

"Isn't it? Who knows why Master Qin fell in love with you, even I felt unfair for Brother Liang. Cui Hao said indignantly.

"Okay, Xiao Hao, didn't these Qin masters say it when they were in the Qin family? Besides, these things themselves are Tianyu's idea, and you and I are just cooperating with each other. Chen Youliang was very open-minded, after all, he had already seen that Master Qin had a soft spot for this Li Tianyu, and he had helped the Qin family several times, but it was also the credit of this Tianyu.

"I still can't believe it. Marriage is a lifelong event, how can it be a child's play? can't miss the life of this daughter's family because of some kindness. Li Tianyu couldn't help but shake his head and said after remembering the scene of seeing the non-mainstream little beauty for the first time.

"So, what do you think, aunt? What do you think? Cui Hao saw that his brother didn't believe it, so he asked the people present.

"Hey! You kid! But seeing that Mother Li just glanced at Li Tianyu meaningfully, and then sighed weakly.

"A virtuous nephew is really a wonderful person." Liu Yunlong praised it very interestingly.

After seeing his mother and Uncle Liu's reaction, Li Tianyu didn't believe it. Yaxingda, it really deserves to be an evil ancient feudal society. Lao Tzu just passed by to save the little Lori once, and he really got her such a cheap thing in exchange for her body! Anyway, didn't that little Lori also dislike Lao Tzu before? In fact, what our Li Tianyu didn't know was that when he helped out on the Qin family's painting boat that day, he had already left a tall image in our Qin Yuyan's little Lori's heart. Therefore, since that day, Qin Yuyan has already secretly promised the face-wearing Xie Gongzi. It's just that after learning that person was Li Tianyu, I was a little dumbfounded in my heart, and I remembered the scene after I was rescued by this Li Tianyu for the first time, and my heart was even more charming. So when Daddy said that he was going to marry him, although he felt weird, he couldn't have the idea of objecting. As for Master Qin, he has already identified Li Tianyu, not to mention Li Tianyu's unique background and world-renowned talent and character, just because he has helped the Qin family several times, he has already made up his mind to marry his daughter to him. What's more, this can also show that the Qin family knows how to repay the kindness and establish a prestige for the Qin family. That's a lot to do. There is no reason not to do such a good family matter. Master Qin, a businessman, recognized this marriage from multiple perspectives of politics, business, and his daughter's happiness.

Brother Tian's methods of soaking in Miss Daughters are superb, and they have emerged in an endless stream, and they have already captured the hearts of so many daughters. Cui Hao also thought that his brother Tian was deliberately pretending to be stupid, and obviously used the highest means of this pickled girl to save him, and also pretended to deliberately not want the Qin family to know, put on a mask and used a pseudonym, but in the end, the Qin family was so moved that he was out of control. Now in front of everyone, you are deliberately pretending to be so innocent, if you are really innocent, why didn't you dare to go to this Qin family with us as a guest. Hey, Brother Tian's trick is really perfect, good means, good skills.

"Forget it, that's all. Uncle Liu, let's continue to talk about the Dongying Rikou and the Goryeo stick. Li Tianyu saw that the private affairs of these children were extremely cumbersome, especially now in front of everyone, so he didn't want to pay attention to these anymore, and immediately changed the topic.

"Virtuous nephew, what kind of ethnic regional autonomy you just talked about, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Dongying and Goguryeo. At present, Dongying and Goryeo are already vassal states of our Tang Dynasty, and at the end of each year, they also come to our Tang Dynasty on time to pay tribute to the imperial court. If you make it difficult again this time, I am afraid that it will attract a mutiny from all over the world. What's more, my Tang Dynasty has never had enmity with Dongying and Goguryeo, and there has never been a military incident, but the diplomatic relations with them have always been very good. Especially Na Dongying, who admires the culture of my Tang Dynasty, has traveled far away several times and sincerely asked my Tang Dynasty for advice, and the emperor is also deeply pleased with this. ”

"Uncle Liu is right, it was Tianyu's mistake." Indeed, the diplomatic relations between the Tang Dynasty and Japan in history are quite good, and Japan admires the Tang Dynasty very much, so some of their buildings there still retain the style of Tang Dynasty architecture, and as for the tea ceremony, they have carried it forward after learning it from here. Even Lao Tzu vaguely remembered that these Zhenguan Tongbao used now were all currencies issued to Japan, not to mention the famous Jianzhen Dongdu later. Having said that, more than 1,000 years later, they have truly committed heinous crimes against the Chinese nation. Hey, it's a pity that no matter how powerful Lao Tzu is, he can't change the history after a thousand years, after all, whether Lao Tzu will live until that time is still a big question.

"But that Goguryeo, although it has just paid tribute to my Tang Dynasty, is actually secretly hostile to my Tang Dynasty. If they are not from my people, their hearts will be different. The emperor also mentioned that he would take back the Liaodong region from Goguryeo and all that I owned in the Tang Dynasty. Come to think of it, my Datang and this Goguryeo will also have a war sooner or later. ”

"Oh? Is it? When Li Tianyu heard Liu Yunlong say this, he was a little surprised in his heart, because after all, he lived in the later generations, and in fact, his hatred for Japan was far greater than that for South Korea.

"Since our Datang has good relations with them, then dare to ask Uncle Liu how is the trade between our Datang and them? Oh, so what about the exchange of civilian goods between the two countries? ”

"This is naturally a courtesy, ancient history. Every year, when Dongying and Goguryeo come to worship, they will take a lot of materials and hand them over to our Tang court, and at the same time, the emperor will also reward them with some of my Tang Dynasty materials. And the envoys they sent will also take their materials and exchange them with the people of our Datang in private, which can be regarded as an exchange of people's existence. Especially the tea and silk cloth, every year when the envoys of Dongying came to worship, they went crazy to buy two full boats and then brought them back to Dongying. ”

"Well, then I've thought of a sanction, ah no, it's a good way to help them."

"What's the solution?" Liu Yunlong saw that the eyes of this virtuous nephew instantly lit up, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Since we are now in an era of peace, we can also use that peaceful means to suppress the two countries. For example, we can use the economy and culture to suppress them now. Naturally, there is no need to say much about culture, so Dongying admires my Tang culture so much, then we will also assimilate them. As for the economy, don't they like my Datang tea and cloth very much? Then we simply opened a trade port to them and directly sold the materials of our Datang people to them. Of course, the price must not be cheap, at least more than 10 times the price in our mainland. In this way, it will not be long before we can get the bottom of the money of their nations. When the time comes, what will they do to fight with our Tang Dynasty? This not only enables the people of my Datang to earn more money, but also allows the people in their country to use more of these materials of my Datang. At the end of the day, they have to thank us! ”

"Hahahaha, I see, the virtuous nephew is really worthy of ...... If the virtuous nephew also went into business, the old man was sure that the virtuous nephew would definitely be a hundred times more powerful than the Kang family and the Qin family. ”

"But, Brother Tian, even if we take too much of their silver, it's useless, and we can't spend it in our Tang Dynasty, so we won't run to them to Dongyinghua again." Xiao Hao thought for a moment and said.

"It doesn't matter. I think that after they come to my Datang, they will first exchange their materials for this silver tael. "After all, Liu Yunlong was a Beijing official before, and he still knows a lot about this.

"But Xiao Hao, when you say this, it really reminds me that since we want them to trade and trade, we naturally have to prepare for the exchange of foreign currency. And it's best to unify the global trade currency first, just take my Datang's currency as the standard, and then let the major banks, oh, the money bank also do, and the money bank will be responsible for exchanging our Datang currency for them. After Li Tianyu heard Xiaohao say this, he remembered his plan to set up a bank. That's right, isn't Lao Tzu still planning to open a bank, and he can also come to open foreign exchange business, and by the way, he will also create some foreign exchange income for himself and Datang. And if it's a cloth business, I just heard my mother say that the Kang family wants to hand over part of the cloth business in Yangzhou to Miss Nakang, Liu Ruoran and I to jointly manage it, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Old man Kang is really good at sending charcoal in the snow.

"That's a good idea. However, judging from the envoys that the old man had seen in the capital, they didn't seem to have any silver taels. It's just that they used their materials to barter with us, or took the materials and exchanged them for my Datang's silver taels, and then went to buy these materials from my Datang. ”

"Oh, in this way, it just so happens that we can also circulate our Zhenguan Tongbao to their country. By the way, Uncle Liu, where did Dongying's envoys land in my Tang Dynasty every year when they came to worship in my Tang Dynasty? Li Tianyu was a little disappointed after hearing this, if Dongying didn't have his own currency now, then his foreign exchange business would be declared bankrupt. However, I also seem to remember that this Zhenguan Tongbao was a currency specially minted by the Tang Dynasty for them, but I didn't expect it to come out in advance now. (Note: The Tang Dynasty Zhenguan has not minted money, and the "Zhenguan Tongbao" is said to have been cast in Japan.) The first year of Zhenguan in Japan is equivalent to the 13th year of Xuanzong Dazhong of Tang Dynasty in China, that is, 859 AD. Ye Dehui said in "Ancient Spring Miscellaneous Songs" that the text of "Zhenguan Tongbao" is different from "and the same room", which should be Japanese money. In history, Fang Xuanling also suggested that Li Shimin cast Zhenguan Tongbao to reward soldiers, but now it has not been confirmed that there is a "Zhenguan Tongbao" in Chinese history. "The old man doesn't know this very well, but he only remembers that they seem to have come from the East China Sea. Since the virtuous nephew cares so much about these plans for diplomatic relations, why not wait for the virtuous nephew to go to Beijing at the end of the year, after meeting the emperor, he will personally discuss it with the emperor. ”

"Aha, yes, Tianyu is just a child who doesn't know the world, where is his turn to these thoughts? Come, Uncle Liu, Tianyu will give you another cup of old wine, and wish you old happiness such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. Li Tianyu said this, but in his heart, he already had the idea of going to Beijing. In October, I will have the opportunity to go to Beijing with my father. Troublesome, even if it is not for the trivial matters of these countries, for the sake of himself and Meng Yao's children's personal affairs, he has to go to the capital, and by the way, he will meet the father-in-law again, and discuss with his old man about the lifelong affairs with Meng Yao. Then by the way, he asked the old man to open a few foreign trade ports, and Jinling was good.

"Oh haha, it's really fun to teach the old man. However, what makes the old man even more admirable is that the virtuous nephew is obviously the same age as my family Ran'er, and he has lived in Yangzhou for a long time, but he can also know so much about this court. This really teaches the old man to be impressed by the virtuous nephew. ”

"Ahaha, in fact, Tianyu only learned about it after reading some ancient books."

"Bogu through the present, Bogu through the present, without Bogu, where does it come from? This Bo Gu Tong is now talking about the virtuous nephew. ”

"Where, where." Li Tianyu looked ashamed, but he was thinking in his heart, of course Lao Tzu is the first person in the Tang Dynasty, and he has reached the 21st century, can anyone know more than Lao Tzu?

"Come, come, come, nephews, have another cup with the old man! It is rare that the old man and all the virtuous nephews are very happy at first sight today. I said Lao Li, you can drink it too. ”

"Huh." Li Jiacheng smiled awkwardly, and then also picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Tianyu respects Uncle Liu!" Seeing the situation, Li Tianyu hurriedly did it first, and after drinking it all, he said again, "Uncle Liu, you have always seen a lot of knowledge in the capital, and Tianyu wants to ask you a few things." ”

"Oh? I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants to ask the old man about? Liu Yunlong was also very curious when he saw that this virtuous nephew with excellent insight actually asked him about something. And our father and mother Li were also interested after hearing this, and they all pricked up their ears and looked at Li Tianyu curiously.

"I wonder if Uncle Liu has ever heard of marijuana?"
