A few more days passed......

Then, Li Chong saw an article dedicated to slapping himself on the back.

Not......

Think so.

The signature is Du Mu.

Ah~ I can only say that the name Du Mu is a bit familiar.

Du Mu, Li Shangyin, is it that Du Mu?

It seems that he also wrote "A Fang Gong Fu".

However, after reading the other party's article about his ass, Li Chong couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Let's be honest!

In Datang, you can't make sycophants, it's really not good.

Unless......

You've got a stake in someone like Li Chong.

Otherwise......

Even if you are Li Bai or Bai Juyi, you have to write:

The immortals of Yuzhen go to Taihua Peak from time to time. In the early morning, the sky drum is sounded, and the double dragon is soaring.

If you don't stop making electricity, you can't leave a trace. When to enter the young room, the queen mother should meet.

You see!

compares Princess Yuzhen to the queen mother.

It's shameless.

But if you want to say that the most stinky and shameless thing is Bai Juyi.

Obviously, Yang Yuhuan was already a married man, so he wrote to him, 'The Yang family has a girl who has just grown up, and she is raised in the deep boudoir and is unknown. ’。

Du Mu's words......

Li Chong felt that it was okay.

At least......

Li Zhong felt that what he was touting was basically in line with his truth.

It is neither said that he is the Jade Emperor, nor that he is raised in the depths of the boudoir.

"I happen to lack a caring person by my side, you let him try it."

Luo Shen hurriedly replied: "Yes!" ”

Meanwhile......

I can't help but think, is it so easy to pass?

And what does it mean to have a caring person?

My brother had already introduced his son to His Highness, and he had the intention of doing a random ministry under His Highness, and he would like to tell His Highness about it.

Or is it ......

He went back and talked to his brother as well, telling him to write an article that would praise His Highness, and then His Highness would regard him as a caring person.

I saw that in Luo Shen's mind, infinite thoughts suddenly appeared.

No way!

If it weren't for the brother who told him that he could let his niece come to Luoyang to try, now, how could he become His Royal Highness's father-in-law.

Now......

The entire Datang knows that their Ministry of Culture is extremely profitable, and it can be said that it is the second Li family.

Of course!

The money from the Ministry of Culture is not his.

I can't help but think like this.

Li Chong saw that Luo Shen hadn't left yet, so he also asked, "What?" Anything else? ”

Luo Shen suddenly came to his senses, and then said as if he had something on his mind: "Ah, no." ”

Li Chong: "Say, if you're like this, it doesn't look like you don't have a heart." ”

Luo Shen: "Back to Your Highness, I really don't." ”

Li Chong: "It's all a family, and there are no outsiders, so there's nothing to say." ”

"Something to do with Du Mu?"

"Anyway...... When did you hook up with the Du family? ”

Luo Shen: "The minister is dead." ”

Li Chong: "Don't panic, in this Luoyang City, who wants to be on the throne and don't hook up with the Du family." Who doesn't marry the Du family. Are you afraid that I will suspect that you have something to do with the Du family, so you look like you have something on your mind? ”

Luo Shen: "Yes, Your Highness is really insightful. ”

Li Chong said again: "Don't lie to me, the matter in your heart is not this matter at all." ”

"Believe it or not, I can read minds."

"I know what other people think in their hearts."

Luo Shen: "......"

Li Chong: "You think, why am I so easy to let Du Mu be my caring person, right?" ”

Roshin: "Yes. ”

Li Chong: "Then, do you want to stuff someone for me?" ”

Luo Shen: "Your Highness...... The affairs of the world cannot escape the eyes of His Highness. ”

Li Chong: "Your brother, Luo Zhong also has a lot of heirs, you let him pick a teenager to come, it's better not to be the eldest son." ”

Luo Shen: "......"

Li Chong: "Do you want to ask why?" ”

Luo Shen: "......"

Li Chong: "Because I want to do a big thing, this big thing, it's a bit risky, so I can't use the eldest son." ”

Luo Shen: "This ......"

Li Chong: "Don't worry, you shouldn't be able to die." ”

After seeing it for a while, Luo Shen was still standing there, motionless.

Li Zhong continued: "If it's okay, go back and bring people." ”

He had no way to do this overseas thing in person, so he could only find someone to go to.

"That's right! It's best to be familiar with water! ”

Luo Shen's back, which was supposed to be about to reach the door, suddenly turned back.

But soon......

Luo Shen was even more confused.

Why should you be familiar with water?

Night......

Luo Shen talked about this matter with his brother Luo Zhong, who was on duty.

Luo Zhong's first reaction was, could it be that the Tang Dynasty was going to war with the Liao State?

Otherwise......

You can't imagine why you need to be familiar with water?

Northerners, in fact, are not very familiar with water.

But......

Don't mention it, Luo Zhong really has an heir, and he likes to go boating and swimming when he has nothing to do, especially in the summer.

I also like to go fishing alone.

With this in mind......

Luo Zhong also took the investment and said: "Whether it is a war or not, let Gorou try it." ”

Luo Shen: "But if there is a real war......

Luo Zhong said: "There is no way, for the sake of the entire Luo clan, it is incumbent on everyone in the Luo clan." ”

This is the reason why the nobles of the family are superior to the scholars who came up from the general imperial examination.

They will have a sense of family honor, and, moreover, they will have the ability to organize and go into battle as a father and son.

Just like that, Yan Zhenqing, in order to quell an Anshi rebellion, more than 30 children in the family died, one after another, which is not tragic.

On the contrary, if it is generally a poor scholar who comes up from the imperial examination, it is estimated that he will regret it at this time.

If there is really a war, they would rather go to repair the table, the water is too cold, and they are probably not willing to let themselves die.

It's a pity - the success is also a family, and the defeat is also a family.

It is precisely because they have family honors like this that these nobles are a little unin line with the interests of the imperial power.

After all......

Your huge family can still maintain a certain organizational ability, so can't you rebel at any time?

He also married all kinds of people.

Right now......

Marriages between nobles such as this are still very common.

The ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, relying on the imperial examination alone, there is no way to become a big official, even if you are really talented, at most you will be awarded the imperial examination, ranked last, and then randomly assigned to a remote area, as a county lieutenant, that is, the director of the public security bureau or something for a lifetime, this is the best.

And if you want to become a big official, be on duty in the palace, and see Your Majesty every day, you not only have to take the imperial examination, but you also have to find a good family, and then become the son-in-law of this family, which is possible.

Bai Juyi is like that.

was forced to marry by his aunt, and it was the woman of the Hongnong Yang family.

Li revalued and touched that if Bai Juyi hadn't married a woman from Hongnong Yang's family, then Bai Juyi might not have been able to pass the imperial examination.

The topic is a bit off the hook, back to the point.

Right now......

In Luo Zhong's eyes, it is better to have a chance than no chance.

Even if Gorou really died on the battlefield and unfortunately died outside, as long as he was brave in battle, His Highness would look up to the rest of their Luo clan more highly in the future, and treat them more kindly.

……

Following.

Luo Shen didn't drag the mud and water, and directly introduced Luo Wulang to Li Chong.

Sixteen or seventeen years old, Li revalued and touched.

He looks thin and small, but in terms of spirit, he is not bad.

Li Chong also said directly to the point: "I intend to open up overseas, but this life at sea is a little not easy." ”

"Luo Goro, can you bear not seeing your family once a year?"

The other party definitely couldn't bear it, but the one who was held hostage could only bite the bullet and say: "The minister is not afraid of hard work." ”

Li Chong: "I like people who can tell the truth. ”

Rakugoro: "......"

LI Chong; "It's okay, you can endure it if you can bear it, and if you can't bear it, you can't bear it, if you say you can't bear it, I won't call someone to pull you to behead."

Luo Goro: "Minister...... Bearable. ”

Li Chongzhen wanted to say to him, if you are persecuted, you will blink.

But now is not the time to shake such cleverness.

Li Zhong directly spread out a map, and then said, "Here...... There should be a country, there is a lot of oil underground, what I need you to do is to control this country by force or other means, and then transport the oil underground in their country back to Datang in a steady stream. ”

"Along the way, you may meet people from the Liao Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and even Tianzhu."

"At sea, there is a possibility that there will be countless pirates who go to the sea to commit crimes."

"But what's even more difficult is the weather at sea."

"Maybe a typhoon will pass through, and then your life will be there."

"Of course!"

"This typhoon is okay, after all, as long as you sail in the right month, the chance of encountering a typhoon is still relatively small, and in a year, there are only two or three typhoons at most, which will survive."

"It's a pity that I'm the emperor's grandson and can't leave Luoyang, otherwise...... I should be the one to do something like this. ”

"You are from your father-in-law's family, and you are recommended by your father-in-law, so I handed over this arduous task to you."

"Datang...... In the future, we can no longer just stare at our own one-third of an acre, we have to go out and be more international. ”

"You can't just wait for others to come to do business, but you have to do business on other people's territory."

"Such a task can only be accomplished by a man who is passionate about adventure and who remains fearless and calm and resourceful in the face of calamity."

"What do you think...... Can you do it? ”

Rakugoro didn't feel anything.

But it was important, important, and he could hear it.

Li Chong said again: "If you think you can't do it yourself, then it doesn't matter, just say it." Then I can let you do something else, but at the moment, there is really only one thing, which is to make His Highness feel that it is the most worthwhile thing to do, and it is the one that can achieve fame the most. ”

As soon as Luo Wulang heard it, Li Chong said that he had this part.

also said: "Minister...... Willing to give it a try. ”

Li Chong: "Okay! Although...... I don't know if you were coerced by others or if you volunteered yourself, but young people, it's good to have the courage to break through and have the courage to fight. Next...... I'll let Zhou Ze take you first. You first ask him about overseas affairs, and then ...... If you have time, you can also train with Zhou Ze and him, after all, although it is said to be going to business, in fact, it is no different from going to war. ”

……

After arranging Luo Wulang, next, Li Chong also arranged to meet Du Mu.

Du Mu, this kid, is not restrained at all, after all, he is from a big family.

There are many people who have been prime ministers in the family.

Li Chong also asked Du Mu to follow him to watch and study hard.

Incidentally......

While looking down and drawing, Li Chong was also chatting with him about family life, such as ......

He has several siblings at home.

There are no particularly good-looking sisters.

What are your aspirations for the future?

To tell the truth, he didn't have any special tasks to give Du Mu to do.

After all......

The other party is only that young.

Think of it as a development game.

However, before playing the development game, you must first understand each other.

And Du Mu also talks a lot.

I also asked Li Zhong a lot of questions.

For example, "Your Highness, I heard that you have four or five wives and concubines, is it true?" ”

Li Chong said: "It's true, so what? ”

"That's not good."

Li Chong said: "Why is it not good? ”

"Your Highness, you need moderation."

Li Zhong smiled, "I don't get tired of being with them every day." ”

"Your Highness, can you show me your painting?"

Li Chong: "Just look at it. ”

"Your Highness, ...... you paint these paintings?"

Li Chong: "What, you have an opinion?" ”

"Your Highness shouldn't read more books on governing the country and the teachings of the sages, how can you only care about painting all day long?"

Li Chong: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but the problem is ...... That's something that only I can do. If I don't draw it, others won't know how to draw it. ”

"This painting, the minister has also seen a lot of ancient paintings, it is indeed a school of its own. Your Highness, you created it yourself? ”

Li Chong: "Who else can there be besides me?" ”

"This is also 'Wen Yi Dao'?"

Li Chong: "Of course! ”

"The minister went to the concert, and I can feel that His Highness's ambitions are very ambitious. It's just that...... I wonder if Your Highness can say, what is your ambition? ”

Li Chong: "I just asked you about your ambition, but now you are asking about me." ”

"It's very specific and ambitious, and it sounds like a very lofty ambition, but it's actually too vain."

"Your Highness, as long as you can see that the people are living and working in peace and contentment, it will be good."

Du Mu: "So for the sake of the people living and working in peace and contentment, Your Highness, you are painting here?" ”

Li Chong: "What? Do you look down on drawing? ”

Du Mu: "No, it's just this painting, which seems to be a little far away from the people living and working in peace and contentment." ”

Li Chong said: "Luo Shen, you tell him how many people this painting can support." ”

Luo Shen also said: "At present, there are more than fifty people. ”

Li Chongdao: "If a person does not have a position, he will have no income, and he will not be able to support his family. ”

"This painting is not a painting, but the food and clothing of more than 50 people and their families."

Although Du Mu couldn't quite understand the underlying logic of this, he ......

That doesn't sound like a problem. That...... He didn't seem to have a way to refute it. (End of chapter)
