Genius remembers the address of this site in one second:! No ads!

Shinyuemon couldn't understand why Ikyu didn't want to leave the ready-made answer and had to think of a solution himself. But he didn't mind very much, because the order he got was to protect Ikyu's An. Master Huiri said so, and he did so, and he didn't want to stay in Luoyang as a craftsman.

The two returned to the place where they stayed, and Ikkyu locked himself in the room. Shinyuemon guarded the door. He was a person who was unwilling to use his brain. He was not willing to think about things other than his responsibilities.

Shinyuemon was also the best among the samurai warriors when he was able to follow the Japanese mission to come to the Tang Dynasty. When he was in Japan, he had a very famous reputation and could not find any rivals in the whole country. He was young and energetic, and refused many powerful people's recruitment and came to the Tang Dynasty with all his heart, hoping to try his best.

But when he really arrived in the Tang Dynasty and competed with several masters of swordsmanship, he became a little autistic.

Although his kung fu is not worth mentioning, it is even average. He didn't even pass the third round of the martial arts competition at JD.com before the New Year. And when the winners competed with Dugu Jiu, he felt ashamed of himself. Dugu Jiu's name has been imprinted in his heart since then.

A young genius master.

Shinyuemon was very discouraged. He felt that he might not be able to reach the sword skills level of Dugu Jiu that he had that day.

He took the sword in his hand and smiled bitterly, feeling even more hopeless.

Compared with the Japanese swords that were praised by later generations, the forging level of Japan in the early Tang Dynasty was very low. The weapons they built were mostly imitating the Central Plains style, but the quality was much inferior. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, just after several groups of envoys sent the Tang Dynasty to Japan and brought the smelting technology of the Central Plains back to Japan, the level of the forging swords in the Japanese country was gradually improved. Although Shinyuemon was a master of Japan, his weapons were also very average in the Central Plains. You could buy better quality and a little higher price in the East City of Chang'an.

As for the "Wuming" in Dugu Jiu's hands, Shinyuemon has no chance to get in touch with such a good sword that cannot be bought even if it is money.

For a warrior, swords can accompany friends for life. Shinyuemon had thought of buying a better sword, but he couldn't bear to leave this weapon that had been with him for many years. Therefore, although Master Huiri made money by treating illness and the economic conditions of the regiment were improved, he did not change his weapons.

However, if Ikkyu can become Li Mu's disciple and learn his smelting method, he doesn't mind letting Ikkyu build a weapon for him. He has already thought about it. If he can build it, he doesn't want a sword anymore. He wants a horizontal sword similar to the imperial guards. Compared with the "sting", he prefers to chop.

"Ikkyu is here?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded next to him. Shinyuemon was startled and his body subconsciously dodged. At the same time, the sword had been unsheathed and the sound was coming straight toward him. With a "ding" sound, something was stabbed. Shinyuemon was overjoyed. Just as he was about to force his strength to pierce, he suddenly turned his wrist and the sword had already lost his hand.

"It's not bad, but it's still a little rough." Dugu Jiu threw the sword back, and returned to the scabbard without any bias. Dugu Jiu said to him, "Engeal Uniform Guard, what are you talking about, Ikkyu is here?"

"Sir!" Shinyuemon clarified the person and immediately bowed, his voice trembling. "Yes, Ichikyu is resting inside."

Dugu Jiu looked nervous and his hands were shaking, Shinyuemon said, "I seem to have seen you?"

"I have participated in the martial arts competition before the New Year." Shinyuemon's face turned red with shame, "but I lost in the third round."

"I have some impression, Japanese." Dugu Jiu looked at Shinyuemon and said, "You are not suitable for using a sword, but it is more suitable for you." After that, Dugu Jiu said, "The Marquis already knows what you are doing here. He asked me to tell Ikkyu that if the method he used and others used it, then he would be considered unqualified."

Shinyuemon couldn't help but say, "Sir, this is a bit unfair!"

"It's unfair, you can go back to Chang'an." After Dugu Jiu said that, he turned around and walked away lightly. Shinyuemon chased him out for two steps. Dugu Jiu was gone. He turned around and came out of the room. He said, "Did you hear it?"

Ikyu nodded and said, "I heard it."

"What should we do?"

"Continue to think!" Ikkyu said stubbornly.

...

When Dugu Jiu returned to the Hou Mansion, Li Mu was grilling chicken wings. A few days ago, he collected a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, some of which could not lay eggs, so he could only kill and eat meat. Li Mu asked the chef to keep the chicken wings alone for him, and after a few days, he could barely have enough for a small barbecue.

Li Siwen has not returned from doing business outside, and Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen are not good at it, so only Li Mu and Zhang Tian are there. Dugu Jiu is here, and Li Mu has someone to add bowls and chopsticks to him and hand over the pair of chicken wings that have just been baked.

"I'm right? Is that boy Ikkyu?"

"Yes, he also brought a guard named Shinyuemon. He was good at reaching out, but unfortunately he took the wrong path. He was not suitable for practicing swords, but for practicing swords. If there were guidance from famous teachers, he would be a good swordsman."

"What is it, I have to be not him." Li Mu took a bite of the chicken wings and said in ambiguously, "Ikkyu is what I value."

Zhang Tian had met Yixiu. She didn't like this little monk and thought that this little monk always fought against Li Mu. Although he was smart, he was not very good. Seeing that Li Mu attached so much importance to Yixiu, he asked, "Do you want to accept him as his apprentice?"

Li Mu did not deny it, saying, "I have this plan, but I still have to decide whether he can pass my test." Of course, Li Mu would not admit that he had this idea because of the name Ikkyu. Although there is such a reason, the real reason has nothing to do with this point.

After seeing Yikyu these few encounters, Li Mu is sure that Yikyu's identity is absolutely extraordinary. Whether it is the ambassador of the Japanese mission, Mita-Shiko, or his master Huiri, he always has some subconscious care when treating the young monk. This kind of care is not very much like the care of the younger generation, but a bit like an old servant. Just like Yu Zhining of the East Palace treats Li Chengqian, although he can take charge of the prince, there is a difference between the king and the minister after all.

Li Mu guessed that the Ikkyu he saw was not only a name like Ikkyu, but his identity should also have similarities. If so, it would be necessary for him to take Ikkyu as his apprentice. He coveted the silver of Japan and had to find a suitable excuse to intervene. Although he could build a ship and take people to fight, he could easily possess it. However, there was no need. Japan during this period was not worthy of being ruled. The benefits he gained from it were far less than that he had.

War is always the last resort in Li Mu's philosophy. If it can be solved without force, it is best not to use force. How can one take the initiative to send it? After all, Li Mu only wants silver from Japan.

"Didn't my brother say that we can't give our good things to outsiders at will?" Dugu Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Have your brother's idea changed?"

"No, of course you can't give it at will." Li Mu hiccupped and said, "It's a different matter if they give money."

Li Mu said to Dugu Jiu, "It is not about principles that can be measured by value. If anyone gives me one million taels of silver now, maybe I will sell him the secret recipe for the wine."

"..." Dugu Jiu was too lazy to talk to Li Mu. I don't know if it was an illusion. He felt that Li Mu was getting heavier and heavier recently. Why do people who are obviously very rich care so much?

"Brother, if you are short of money, I can tell my father. I don't know how many there are at home, but there should be a lot. I remember, my mother said it."

"Save it, your elder brother has not yet fallen to the point where you have to find your family. If you can open your mouth, I can't afford to lose that person." The elder brother still has to take into account the face of his elder brother. However, calculating the recent expenses, he was indeed a little unstoppable. After pausing for a moment, Li Mu said, "Why don't you repair a letter and ask your father if you have any idea to invest in Chidao, I can contract the site's warehouse, inn, warehouse, etc. to him."

Dugu Jiu didn't understand business, but he believed that Li Mu would not cheat him, so he agreed without thinking. It was getting too late, so he got up and said goodbye, and went back to his residence to write a letter to his father.

After Dugu Jiu left, Li Mu roasted the remaining chicken wings and ate them with Zhang Tian. After eating them, the moon was already on the rise. After eating and drinking, the servants cleaned up the charcoal and grilled, and the two returned to the room. They ate a little too full tonight, and they had no intention of hugging each other and chatting.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Tian asked carefully, "Husband, is our family short of money now?"

"No." Li Mu frowned, asked Zhang Tian strangely, "Why do you think so?"

"You haven't noticed that you have always withdrawn money recently?" Zhang Tian said worriedly. "If your husband is short of money, I can tell my father. He is King Gaochang after all, so he can always have some money. If it really doesn't work, let him collect taxes."

Li Mu was amused by Zhang Tian and said, "Fortunately, your father was the King of Gaochang, and he didn't let you be the one. How could you do this? If you don't have money, you can ask the people to collect taxes. This is not enough."

"What should I do?" Zhang Tian murmured, "You can't do your job as a horse bandit, right?"

"No need." Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm a little short of money. But this gap is not ours. We have a winery and Feng Qiuhuang. We have a thousand guan every day. How much can these people in our family spend? There is a gap because of Luoyang City—"

Li Mu sighed and said, "I finally understand why Emperor Yang of Sui made a mess of great rivers and mountains. People just can't be in a hurry. Things that require ten years of work must be done in three years, and there will naturally be various problems-"

"Then let's do it slowly?" Zhang Tian couldn't understand what Li Mu said. She was not that deep. If she could follow her thoughts in everything, Li Mu would better go back to the Western Regions with her. She was a person who grew up on the grassland. She didn't like big cities like Luoyang and Chang'an. There were too many people and the relationship was too complicated.

"You can't be slow," Li Mu turned Zhang Tian's body and faced her, saying, "I have to finish the infrastructure quickly, and then build a ship and go to sea. Zhien's side "no need." Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm a little short of money. But this gap is not ours. We have a winery and Feng Qiuhuang, and our daily investment is over 1,000 yuan. How much can these people in our family spend? There is a gap because of Luoyang City--"
