The eldest grandson Chong took Liu Muxiang to the vegetable garden, picked cucumbers to eat, and planted a watermelon field, and there were already a few large watermelons that seemed to be ripe. Watermelon is a great thing to cool off. There is no refrigerator, and after soaking in well water, the taste is really beautiful!

"Muxiang, let's pick a watermelon and try it!" The eldest grandson Chong looked greedy, patted the watermelon with his hand, and it seemed to be really ripe.

Liu Muxiang picked a watermelon, this watermelon is about a dozen catties! When you cut it, it was really ripe.

"Hey, the watermelon seeds you brought over last time were planted at home, and I sent all the rest to my Zhuangzi, and I don't know what the watermelons there have grown." Liu Muxiang said that this watermelon ripens a month earlier than ordinary watermelons, and now that the weather is hot, it is estimated that it can be sold at a good price.

"There are special farmers to take care of it, I believe it is much better than us, if you are not at ease, we will go and see it tomorrow morning." Eldest Sun Chong didn't have anything to do anyway, so he said softly, knowing that Liu Muxiang had been thinking about his family.

But since Liu Mulan got married, it has been much better, after all, now that the eldest brother has a family, she is also married, and they all have their own support.

Liu Muxiang nodded, and just wanted to say, when she saw the little bun, trotted over, and said, "Young Master, Aunt Liu, Sister Meilin personally sent two carts of watermelons, let the house taste it!" ”

"Hey, we were worried just now, your sister-in-law is here, it can be seen that this year is a bumper harvest!" The eldest grandson Chong said with a smile, Merlin, this woman is very smart, can be a person, has a talent for business, and runs the Zhuangzi with willow wood fragrance and a small Zhuangzi that she bought. Grow vegetables in greenhouses in winter and watermelons in summer. The eldest grandson Chong brought many kinds of seeds, but Merlin was cheaper.

"Huh. My sister-in-law is a capable one. Liu Muxiang sincerely thanked the Dou family, told his brother about this family business, managed the family in an orderly manner, and the shop business outside did not fall, and his brother's life slowly improved, I am really happy for them.

Not to mention anything else, just planting vegetables in the shed, fifty-five accounts, Liu Muxiang received 12,000 taels of silver, and Merlin also earned 12,000 taels of silver. Now that so many early-maturing watermelons have been planted, it is estimated that a large amount of money will come in this summer. When she has more money in her hand, she will let the eldest grandson Chong help her buy Zhuangzi so that she can make money.

Merlin just came to talk to Liu Muxiang and told him that Zhuangzi was all right. Let her not worry and wait for the money to be counted!

Changsun Chong and Liu Muxiang are eating watermelon. Li Er is here. Frowning, this watermelon is not available in the palace, and it is eaten outside. The eldest grandson chong this kid, this thing is not authentic.

The watermelon is very large and has red sand. He drooled when he looked at it, Li Er was hot and thirsty, picked up the watermelon and ate it, and ate half of the watermelon alone. just give up. The taste of this watermelon seems to be a little different from before.

Liu Muxiang didn't dare to sit down and eat watermelon, so she hurriedly went to get a few and divided them with the guards.

Knowing that His Majesty would not just come to play, Liu Muxiang packed up, went to the house, and let go of the chaise longue under the big tree, and there were some words that she could not hear.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" The eldest grandson Chong took a bite of the watermelon and asked, looking at Li Er lying leisurely on the rattan chair with a sad look, that was his seat. Since Li Er, he can only sit on a stone bench.

"This chair is good, send a few to the palace another day, they are all holes, breathable and cool!" Li Er said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Chong saw that Li Er didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, he was a little sleepy, and was about to lie on the stone table to sleep.

Li Er also felt a little sleepy and fell asleep.

An hour later, Li Er woke up, and the eldest grandson Chong was woken up and slept on his stomach, in the wrong position, and he kept drooling.

"Don't sleep, there's something to say!" Li Er stood up and stretched his waist, relaxed today, very leisurely, I didn't expect to sleep for so long.

The eldest grandson Chong asked someone to bring tea over, and asked: "Your Majesty, if you have something, you can say that Chong'er will go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate!" ”

Li Er glanced at Changsun Chong and said directly: "The Japanese State is guilty of Jing petition, and now it is blocked in Dengzhou, and there are endless arguments in the court, and there is no way to solve it now." ”

The eldest grandson Chong heard this and said, "Your Majesty, don't accept it!" ”

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, now they are an enemy country, we must fight, if we accept their admission of mistakes now, there will be no good reason to go on the expedition in the future. Now that we are in all aspects of Datang, we are above the Wa Kingdom, if we let them in, they learn our technology, and one day we will be counterattacked! From ancient times to the present, the Wa Kingdom has regarded the Central Plains Dynasty as an imaginary enemy. Last time I discussed the character of the Wa Kingdom with Mr. Dai, I once heard Mr. Dai say that the Wa people educate their children and take out good things, so they say that there are many such things on the other side of the sea, and as long as they are strong, they can grab them! This kind of education, as long as they are strong, will bite us. Eldest Sun Chong strongly disagreed.

"But the country has repeatedly admitted its mistakes, if we don't accept it, it will seem that we are a small family in the Tang Dynasty." Li Er felt that it was inappropriate.

The eldest grandson Chong heard this and said, "Your Majesty think twice! Don't let those people get away with it! You must know that they killed dozens of unarmed civilians at that time, if it was those well-trained soldiers who were killed, it was not a pity, but they had the ability to resist and were killed because of lack of ability! A nation that slaughters defenseless people in order to achieve their goals, and you talk to them about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is simply a fart! ”

"Huh?" It's the first time Li Er has been told to fart in person, it's too uncivilized.

Only then did the eldest grandson Chong realize that he was a little carried away, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's Chong'er who lost his words." ”

Li Er smiled, disappreciated, and said: "Since you don't agree to forgive them, and you can't make people feel that Datang is not tolerant, then you are responsible for a compromise solution!" ”

"At the beginning, those people killed ordinary people, so we started from this point to find the relatives of the people who were killed in the original village, and went to Dengzhou to accuse the Japanese people. Your Majesty, you love the people like a son, and of course you can't let the people of your country be sad because of the Japanese country! Changsun Chong said, anyway, what is needed now is the moral high ground.

Reason? The reason is that this thing is the best to find.

When Li Er heard this, he glanced at Changsun Chong mysteriously and said, "This is the same as the previous method of going to Goguryeo to transport corpses, all of which are to use the people?" ”

The eldest grandson shook his head and said: "This is not to incite the people, but to guide public opinion!" ”

Thinking of public opinion, how could Changsun Chong not think of running newspapers, weekly magazines and the like!

Li Er was silent, thought for a while, and remembered that he had said before that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, if the public opinion of the people is used by people with intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In just a short period of time, Li Er figured out the key to it.

"I have seen the power of public opinion, since I want to use public opinion to guide the halo, then how can I master public opinion? If you can really know the power of public opinion, others will know it too. Li Er asked solemnly.

The eldest grandson Chong was stunned, hey, he just said the fur, Li Er could think of the bones and blood, and his brain turned too fast.

"Your Majesty is wise! Your question, this is really important to control public opinion, Chong'er hasn't thought of a good way yet, let me think about it carefully, and then come up with a perfect plan. Although Changsun Chong was shocked in his heart, he didn't dare to say it directly, and he couldn't make Li Er feel that it was very easy to find a way.

Li Er's head bowed: "Well, then you have to worry more." ”

Li Er had lunch at the eldest grandson's house, and when he left, he explained, "Where did you get this watermelon from?" ”

"It's from the woody village! Do you want? Eldest Sun Chong asked.

Li Er nodded and said, "Good things, how can you forget to send them to the palace!" I send someone to pull two carts of watermelons every two days, and the price will not be less than yours. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson thanked Liu Muxiang for him.

Anyway, there are hundreds of acres of watermelons, not bad for this watermelon, and Li Er's requirements are not too excessive, even if he doesn't give money, he can afford it.

The eldest grandson rushed back, found a large piece of paper, and figured out a newspaper by himself.

It is inconvenient to use a brush, so use a pen and put a horizontal line on it, so that it is convenient to write. The eldest grandson Chong was in the center and wrote: "Datang Daily".

After thinking about the recent news, I wrote in the most conspicuous position, the Japanese country is guilty of petitioning, do you forgive the Japanese country for their bestiality? A piece of news is finished, and in the literature section, a poem is written!

How can there be no advertisements in the newspapers! The eldest grandson Chong wrote a tea advertisement.

Suddenly found that there was nothing to do, so he asked Liu Muxiang on the side and said, "Muxiang, what's the big thing in Chang'an recently?" ”

Liu Muxiang listened, thought about it, shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be a big deal!" But there's a big thing. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"It's just that a few children have been lost in Chang'an City recently, and with the joint efforts of the people of Chang'an and the arrester, the mastermind and accomplice of the shooting of flowers have been caught!" Liu Muxiang replied, "If those children are really transported to other places and sold, I guess they will never want to come back in this life." ”

When the eldest grandson heard it, this is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, yes, this matter has to be written. The eldest grandson rushed down his pen and wrote this communication. Now time is short, and there is no time to interview these real people!

Changsun Chong added some more, some news of the feudal state.

Liu Muxiang saw that there was an advertisement on it, and hurriedly said: "Write my watermelon on it too!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and casually added another advertisement. After two hours of busyness, I finally finished writing a simple newspaper. Although he was very tired, Changsun Chong was very satisfied, and he looked very good, so he waited for Changsun Wuji to take a look at it in the evening.

Before, the eldest grandson Wuji explained more than once, and if there was anything to tell him first, so as not to make any omissions on the part of the eldest grandson. (To be continued......)
