Li Mu got out of the carriage, sat on the other side of the carriage, and said, "Little brother, your thinking is very dangerous?" You don't like women, do you like men? ”

Dugu Jiu glanced at him and said, "What is the eldest brother talking about, it's disgusting." ”

"Ouch, look at your tone,." Li Mu patted Dugu Jiu's shoulder and said, "Brother, although you look like a girl and your voice is also like a girl, you have to be clear that you are a man!" And your father is your son, you have the responsibility of passing on the lineage, you don't like women, your family will be broken, don't you understand this simple truth? ”

"I ......" Dugu Jiu didn't seem to know how to explain, pursed his lips, and said, "I, I'm actually not disliking women...... I just feel like I don't know how to get along. Big brother, if you become a parent, you must meet each other every day, right? ”

"Naturally, you see me and your sister-in-law~, aren't we together every day?"

"But I can't." Dugu Jiu was a little excited and said: "Big brother, you said that I look like this, how do I face my wife?" After becoming a parent, you can't still wear a mask every day, and my voice, if you take off the mask and speak, what will the lady think of me? What about her maiden family? ”

Dugu Jiu's eyes turned a little red, and said: "I can't help but think about others, which woman doesn't want to marry a big husband, although I am a man, but I am not a man enough, don't hurt others." ”

"Whew!" Li Mu snorted fiercely and said, "Who said you weren't a man enough?" You tell me his name, I chop him up and feed it to the dogs! ”

"Big brother! Don't talk nonsense. ”

"What nonsense, I didn't talk nonsense. You say my brother, big brother stands out for you! Also, I have to talk about you. What is a big husband, who can take responsibility and bear the family, this is already a husband. If you are more capable, defend your family and country, and seek the well-being of the people, you will be a great husband. Does appearance matter? Does sound matter? Uncle Cheng looks like that, does it affect his merits? ”

Dugu Jiu muttered: "I hope that I will grow up like Uncle Cheng, and I won't have the troubles I have now." ”

"That's easy to do!" Li Mu said angrily: "See the mace I cast, when you go home, you take off your mask and rub it on top of the mace, to ensure that you are uglier than Uncle Cheng!" ”

"No way!" Dugu Jiu screamed in fright, covered his face and said, "I won't do disfiguring things!" ”

"Look at you like that!" Li Mu almost laughed out loud and said, "Don't think that the eldest brother doesn't know, you kid loves beauty." You smell like perfume, right? Clothes are also washed with soap, right? And in the morning I went to your room to call you, and at the head of your bed, was there a mirror? ”

"I, I'm ......" Dugu Jiu was punctured and stammered, completely unsure of how to explain it.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to explain, everyone has a love for beauty." In ancient times, there was Pan An and Song Yu, in their era, men still applied powder, and they didn't see anyone discriminating against them, but it was a good story. Today is just my Tang Dynasty style and martial arts, it seems that you are a little out of place, maybe after a thousand years, a boy and a girl like you will be the most popular. Who knows? ”

"I had a dream last night, twelve women singing on a stage, countless girls and young women in the audience are crazy about it, I wonder, why is this woman singing crazy? I just got closer and took a closer look, and guess what, the twelve women are actually all men, amazing or not? ”

"Big brother teased again." Dugu Jiu said unhappily: "People like me, there hasn't been one for hundreds of years, how can there be so many twelve at once, and they still perform in public, are they musicians?" ”

"Almost, dreaming, who remembers for sure." Li Mu leaned on the carriage and said, "Big brother is not telling you this, not to hit you. I just want you to understand a truth, this person, what kind of birth is not a choice. Someone was born in the family of the prince, just like you and the eldest grandson Chong. Some people are born as little people, just like your big brother and me. So what? Is it because of a bad background, or a little hidden disease, that you don't work hard? It's better to die early, don't want to die, don't work hard, who will you show it? ”

"There's no use complaining, you have to find a way, right? Also, you don't have to feel inferior. I've always believed that if a person does something that doesn't hurt anyone, there's nothing wrong with that. Just like you, who did you provoke because you were pretty? The ugly ones are alive, but the beautiful ones are dead? And the voice, what's wrong with the details, as long as you can understand what you say? It's not wrong to love beauty, as long as your future wife thinks it doesn't matter, what does it matter what others think. ”

"If you want to see it, he will watch it, if you don't want to see it, he won't look at it, say something useless in front of you, don't you know martial arts, beat him up. Don't say that your father is the master of the Dugu valve, ordinary people don't dare to mess with you, they just don't look at your father, don't you still have me as a big brother? Your eldest brother and I even beat the servants, who are you afraid of? ”

Seeing Li Mu protecting his calves like this, Dugu Jiu couldn't help but laugh. Regardless of whether Li Mu is right or not, this attitude is enough to heartwarming.

"Big brother, I can't be as open-minded as you."

"It has nothing to do with open-mindedness, I'm just barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. It's really not good, I'll go back to Mayi to farm, you and I are kidding, I've already sent a letter to the past, so that Siwen can buy land in Mayi and Dingxiang, as long as it's ownerless land, I buy as much as I want, people have to keep a back hand for themselves, right? ”

Dugu Jiu couldn't help but say, "Big brother really wants to farm?" ”

"That's right." Li Mu had nothing to hide, and said, "Didn't I invent the Zhenguan plow?" Farming has become simpler, not only to cheapen others, but also to take care of yourself. You may not know what Mayi and Dingxiang are like? Let me tell you, you see that there are so many people in Chang'an, a city twenty miles square, with 300,000 households. In the vicinity of Mayi and Dingxiang, there are more than a dozen Chang'an cities as large, but there are less than 50,000 households. Think about it, how many good lands have to be planted by no one? ”

Dugu Jiu didn't think about farming, but he knew a little arithmetic, and he probably had a little concept. To put it simply, there are few people in Mayi and Dingxiang, and the land cannot be planted.

"The land over there is very cheap, and most of it is ownerless land, which was originally the pasture of the Turks. I only need to take a small amount of money to shelter those poor homeless people, and let them burn and reclaim the land for me, and in less than two or three years, I will get a fertile field. Li Mu rubbed his hands and said, "At that time, I will have money and food-"

Dugu Jiu's eyes widened and blurted out: "Big brother, you want to rebel?" ”

"Fart!" Li Mu almost choked to death without taking a breath, raised his hand and knocked Dugu Jiuyi, and scolded: "When did I say that I was going to rebel, I mean, look at those gate lords and nobles still dare to provoke me?" Why did you get involved in rebellion, and your head is missing? ”

"I can't blame me, when I was a child, my father asked me to read "Historical Records", and when those people rebelled, they all accumulated grain and slowly became the king......"

"In the future, don't talk about this kind of, rebellion? You can think of it, the emperor is so good? Your eldest brother and I have such a temper, I have really become an emperor and a faint king. Your Majesty is a good emperor, so let's just do what we can. There have been so many heroes throughout the ages, how many have become emperors? Young people, don't exaggerate your ideas. ”

"Oh." Dugu Jiu nodded, held back for a while, and said, "Big brother, why don't you buy land, my family has land, plant it for you?" ”

"Your father's land belongs to you. When will you become the valve owner, when will you say this again. ”

"I have my own!"

"Huh?"

"I have my own ......" Dugu Jiu thought for a while and said, "Three or five hundred hectares, I don't know how much, I can go home and ask the housekeeper." ”

"Where did you come from so much?" Li Mu was shocked, the emperor gave the land, the marquis was only fifty hectares, and Dugu Jiu actually had three or five hundred hectares, isn't it a hell?

"The uncles gave it, and every year on my birthday, the uncles gave the title deed. I don't know where the land is, but the housekeeper keeps it for me. ”

"Huh!" Li Mu was convinced, this is the gate valve, the child has a birthday, and all he gives is the title deed. Lao Tzu worked hard, defended the city, and offered jade seals, but only gave fifty hectares of land, where to reason!

"Big brother, why don't you speak?"

"Autism, ignore me." Li Mu didn't have a good airway.

Dugu Jiu didn't understand what this sentence meant, blinked his eyes, and said, "Then you don't plant it!" ”

"Seed!" Li Mu suppressed the sour anger in his heart and said, "But as a big brother, I can't take advantage of you." I will help you plant these lands, and then help you sell grain, and the money you get will be left for you to marry your daughter-in-law. ”

"I don't need to." Dugu Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My father said, when I get married, let me inherit the position of the head of the family, what my family has is money, how much can I spend when I get married-"

"Can you shut up for me?"

"Oh-"

……

The carriage arrived at the Ministry of Industry, and along the way, Li Mu did not speak again.

What else to say?

The first braggart master of Datang was thoroughly shown off in front of a runaway rich second generation who was afraid of marriage! In order not to inherit Wanguan's family wealth, the handsome young man Dugu Jiu had to run away from home and work as a groom for a nouveau riche who seems to be making money every day, but in fact he doesn't have much money, what kind of bloody plot is this!

Oh my!

Li Mu got out of the carriage, his head still buzzing.

This incident not only hit his self-confidence, but also reminded him that the power of the Xungui Gate Valve was much greater than he imagined. Don't look at their struggle to come up with hundreds of thousands of guan at once, in fact, these hundreds of thousands of guan have not shaken their muscles and bones at all. Their money is in the land and in the business. There is very little land in the hands of the people in this world, and even the land in the hands of the royal family is not very much, most of it is in the hands of these noble lords, they are the lifeblood of the country!
