Chapter 407 Vacation!

Li Mu originally thought that Kong Yingda was furious when he heard this. After all, it was a "thousand-year-old turtle of 80,000-year-old turtle", but to his surprise, Kong Yingda was not angry when he heard this, but instead seemed a little disgusted. He glanced at Li Mu and said, "Don't think that if I say a few good words, I will look at you. I am young and so arrogant, I will not let you go!"

"Huh?" Li Mu was confused. What does this mean? He listened to it as a good word? How could he know that during the Tang Dynasty, the turtle and the turtle had a good reputation. In this era, he believed that the turtle had a large space for movement and had a long experience, which was a symbol of longevity, one of the four spirits, and the only auspiciousness that exists in the world among the four spirits. He was considered to be a messenger who could communicate with heaven and earth. Therefore, it is not a derogatory meaning in this era, but a compliment.

Besides, Li Mu had not said that Kong Yingda was like a turtle, but said that he could live 800 years old. Without the extended meaning of later generations, in Kong Yingda's consciousness, he would only compare with Peng Zu, who lived 800 years old. Li Mu compared him to Peng Zu, and he was naturally happy.

But Li Mu didn't know these things, so he could only think that Kong Yingda was crazy, and ignored him and said, "This is just one of my many advantages. In addition to education, I have also done a lot of things. I won't mention the old things that Zhenguan Pi is talking about, and I will tell you something fresh. A few months ago, I posted a list to collect various seeds, not limited to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, as long as it is a seed. After my research, these seeds have been selected from them, but they don't know about them before, but in fact they can be used as vegetables. When planted next year, they can enrich everyone's dining table."

"And!" Li Mushen said mysteriously: "The point is that I have found something that can be used as food and vegetables, and produce huge amounts at the same time. With its existence, within three years, my Tang Dynasty will no longer worry about famine."

Wow! This awesome bragging soundly! After hearing this, all the officials were so angry and funny. They really thought they were saints and immortals? How could there be such things in the world? If there were, how could no one discover them for thousands of years since the Spring and Autumn Period?

No one believed it! Li Shimin just smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Zheng, who could not help but stand up first and said, "Li Mu, what you said is really getting more and more out of bounds. It's okay to be arrogant. After all, you have some talent and it's understandable to be arrogant. But why are you still making a fool of yourself now? You say something irrelevant. Do you think the whole court is children? Let you deceive? Although you are young, you are also a third-rank official. You should respect yourself and love yourself, how--"

Li Mu was displeased and said, "Old Confucius, why do you show off your face that seems to be teaching me? What are your abilities that can teach me? Besides, how can you know what I said must be fake? This seed, I bought it from a dark-skinned South Vietnamese merchant for a thousand guan, and I have planted it. He told me that this thing can produce 3,000 kilograms per mu. If this is true, will there be so much land in the Tang Dynasty, and are you still worried about eating?"

"Oh!" Wei Zheng was so sad that he stamped his feet in his heart when he heard that Li Mu had spent 1,000 guan. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Please make a decision!"

Li Shimin felt unreliable after hearing this and frowned and said, "Li Mu, have you been deceived? I have never heard of any seeds worth 1,000 jin, and the yield per mu of 3,000 jin is too exaggerated. Don't think that I don't understand farming. The best-quality corn, a mu of land, is only 5,000 jin of yield, and 3,000 jin, is it an immortal seed in the Immortal Palace?"

Li Mu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I really didn't lie. I did spend a thousand guan to get the seeds, and it did plant them. Now it has blossomed. In a few months, I will get the harvest. I am confident that the yield will not be low."

He really didn't lie at all. He gambled on a lucky bag and spent a serious expense of 1,000 guan. As for the yield of potatoes, he said 3,000 jin, which was really conservative and conservative. Even if it was planted inappropriate land, the yield per mu was at least 5,000 jin. Although Li Mu only had one potato, he cut it into more than a dozen seedlings. These potato seedlings are growing very well now. Each plant can bear a lot of potatoes. Planting two or three crops can be cultivated. There are only more than 10 million people in the Tang Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is to solve the problem of eating, but it is very feasible.

But these words cannot be said directly to Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Otherwise, the origin of potatoes would be a problem. The Tang Dynasty was far from the Age of Discovery. Potatoes could not appear in China during this period. Even if they searched the Eurasian continent, they would definitely not be able to find a potato. If they were to look at it carefully, wouldn’t the system be exposed?

Therefore, Li Mu could only lie and take this opportunity to pretend to be a so-called "Nanyue Merchant". The Binhai of Nanyue was the entrance to the "Kunlun slave" of the Tang Dynasty. Even if someone really investigated it in the future, it would point to the sea in the end, and no one could explain it clearly.

Although Li Mu had shown as controversial as possible, what he said was still too exaggerated, so that Li Shimin had no choice but to stand on his side this time. If he still helped Li Mu, it would be like he would press his IQ to the ground to rub it. The dignified Khan of Heaven would not do such shameless things.

Among the "laughter" of all officials, the last court meeting in the four years of Zhenguan ended. From Laba to Shangyuan Festival, all three provinces and six ministries, except for the officials who were rotating, were on vacation. In other words, except for the accidents, in this month, everyone from the emperor to the officials could rest.

At this time last year, the Tang Dynasty was plotting to use troops against Jie. Almost one of the important officials in the court had calculated that no one had a vacation. This year, there was no major event, and I could finally take a breath. As for the small matter of Japanese envoys, they naturally waited until after the New Year. When did Li Shimin remember it, they could meet again. If they couldn't remember it, it would be normal to wait for half a year. The point is that Japanese envoys never raised dissatisfaction, and they wanted to stay for a while.

The envoys sent to Tang in this era were a bit psychologically similar to those "sea turtles" who were ten or twenty years older than him before Li Mu traveled. When they went abroad, most of them felt that the moon in foreign countries was round and the farts from foreign countries were fragrant than China. Many people who went abroad to compete or do business abroad were illegally stranded on the other side of the ocean. The envoys sent to Tang had similar ideas. They wanted to stay, but their mouths were too obvious and they couldn't keep them. They could only stay for one more day. After all, Honglu Temple still manages food.

After coming out of the palace, Li Mu got on the carriage and headed straight to the valley.

When he arrived, the students were having lunch. Today, the chef cooked Laba porridge for him. The students drank it till they saw Li Mu came, and they put down the bowl in their hands and stood up to salute: "I have seen the principal!"

Li Mu smiled on his face, raised his hand and pressed it down, and said, "You are becoming more and more sensible. You are so sensible that I feel distressed by the principal. I can't bear to attack you. This is not possible. If you don't have any problems, I can't find a reason to rectify it. After a long time, I will be suffocated. So in order to respect the teacher, everyone will do some stupid things in every possible way so that I can vent my vent. Do you know?"

The students were silent, pursing their lips tightly and silently. The meaning could be read from their eyes: Anyway, I don’t do it, whoever loves to do it will do it.

"We are all learning to be treacherous!" Li Mu shook his head, raised his hand and pointed at Changsun Chong, and said, "It's all you, you, the student president!"

Changsun Chong was confused and stood up and said, "Mr., what's wrong with me?"

"The one who is close to the vermilion is black. My lovely students, who are close to the vermilion, should be kind and simple. Why did they become like this? It's all because of you, you are treacherous, and your family's ancestors have a lot of wise minds. The one who is close to the vermilion is black, you have ruined them!"

This is OK?

The tenacious nerve that Changsun Chong finally cultivated almost broke at this moment. He smiled bitterly and said, "If my father didn't mess with his mentor, please forgive me. The disciple is working hard to get closer to his mentor and strive to be a simple person before graduation."

"You have no chance for a simple person, you are the most hypocritical person. You have learned all the hypocrisy of being a teacher. You are better than the blue one. You are now the best in the world, and you can only rank second in the master!"

"..." Changsun Chong really didn't know what to say, but it was wrong. Should he say this as a belittlement or a compliment? What should he do!

Li Mu did not give Changsun a chance to think about it. He waved his hand and ended the topic, saying: "I am here today to tell you good news. Your hard days are over. Today, Laba, the court is on vacation. I am not the kind of ruthless person. I will also give you a holiday. After drinking the porridge later, I can pack up my own things and go home. After the Spring Festival, I will return to the valley before noon the next day. The rules are the same. Whoever is late will not have to come back. The elimination rate is a bit low recently, and it is just a matter of shortage of people!"

After Li Mu finished speaking, he saw that the students were stunned and a little confused, and said, "Why didn't you react? Isn't you happy after the holiday?"

Changsun Chong looked at the expressions of his classmates and stood up and asked, "Mr., didn't you say... before the completion of your studies, whoever leaves will be eliminated? Why is it on holiday again... Well, the students are not trusting their teachers, but this... I don't know where to go, so please tell your teachers."

Li Mu was a little embarrassed and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose: "I, have I said that?"

Ninety-eight people nodded together, and Li Mu was immediately angry and embarrassed: "Whoever nods again will be eliminated. This principal asked again, have I said that?"

"No!"

"Okay! Now on holiday, pack up and get out of here!"

"Thank you, Principal!!"

With a deafening cry, the students' nature that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted under the guidance of the word "off". After the salute, they turned around and ran to their tent, but halfway through, they suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing to bring. What's in the house is not better than in this valley?

Suddenly thinking about the inhuman treatment I have suffered over the past few days, the students couldn't help but feel sad. Before entering this valley, who wasn't the little baby at home? If my parents knew that I had suffered such pain here, I wonder what I would cry...

Thinking of the emotions, I couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed in my ears.

"Do you fucked up the porridge! Food is not money! The strong wind blows! I forgot my principal's poems? Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard. You still have a mine at home! After eating and licking it, I can't finish it, so don't even think about leaving!"

The students shivered all over and realized that they were still in the valley. They quickly returned to their original place, picked up the bowl and continued to drink it.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and snapped his fingers. Dugu Jiu picked up a bag from the car, which was filled with strings of copper coins.

The New Year is over, and the craftsmen who have worked in the valley for more than a month have to take a break. In addition to the wages they pay on weekdays, it is also necessary to give them a little bonus to have a good New Year.

...

Changsun Chong ran home for twenty miles, and was at ease.

When he went to the valley, he ran like this. He still remembered the scene. Running, no, to be precise, he would have gone out of breath after walking for less than three miles. If Li Chongyi hadn't been mocking him by his side, he would have given up.

After three miles perseverance to eight miles, he really couldn't hold on. Li Chongyi helped him and continued to run. By the time he reached sixteen miles, he was completely out of strength. He himself didn't know how the last four miles perseverance was going. At that time, he was already moving forward with perseverance.

If it weren't for the word "changsun" in his heart, he would have lie down on the side of the road like those who gave up before, regardless of whether he was embarrassed or not.

Fortunately, my Changsun Chong persevered!

Seeing the four words "Duke of Zhao Mansion", Changsun Chong couldn't hold it in, and tears flowed out. Although it was not long, for him, it was like a turn from hell. He felt it was too difficult to persevere inhuman experiences these days.

"Dad! I didn't embarrass you!"

Changsun Chong shouted in his heart and strided into his home. As soon as he pushed the door open and was about to enter, two powerful servants of Kong Wu rushed out from the left and right sides of the door. One of them grabbed one of his arms and pressed him to the ground.

"Bold maniac! Do you know where this is? Do you dare to trek into the mansion of the uncle? Let's see if we don't take you to Chang'an County for punishment!"

Changsun Chong struggled hard and cursed anxiously: "Are you two blind? You don't recognize me anymore? I am Changsun Chong, I am Changsun Chong!"
