For the old man of the Cui family who was willing to give face, Li Muyun bowed slightly, smacked his lips and said: "Actually, this world is very big, so big that we can't find the edge with our current ability, and we are stubborn about the reputation left by our predecessors, do you think it's really good?"
Lu Zushang looked at Li Muyun sideways, and sneered: "King Xiaoyao, what do you mean to say something unguarded, everyone understands people, why do you say it so vaguely."
"Well, in that case, then I'll talk about it."
Li Muyun stood up from his seat and stood with his hands in his hands, originally he didn't have to stand up, but he really couldn't stand the kneeling posture, so he had to take the opportunity to stand up and move.
All eyes were on him by this time, waiting for him to continue, wanting to hear what shocking advice he could say.
After a while, Li Muyun took a deep breath and said: "You are all said to be Li's predecessors, in the vulgar parlance, that is, the rice I have eaten is saltier than the road I walked, but Li has something I don't understand, I don't know if you can solve my confusion."
The corners of the mouths of a group of old guys twitched, some of them didn't understand Li Muyun's logic, the rice they had eaten was saltier than the road they had walked, what was this and what the hell did the head have to be pulled into by the door bow, so as to connect these three things together.
Fortunately, Li Xiaogong and Li Muyun are more familiar with each other, and they know that this guy's brain circuit is not quite the same as that of a normal person, so he simply ignored whether his logic was normal, and asked directly: "If you have any doubts, let's hear it." ” Li Muyun glanced at everyone in the room, and asked in a tone that was not very sure: "You have been clinging to the things left by your predecessors, and you don't want to forge ahead, don't you think you are discrediting your ancestors?"
If it weren't for wanting to ease relations with Li Muyun, almost all the old guys would have left the table at this time, but even so, everyone still glared at him angrily, obviously if there was no reasonable explanation, there would be no room for relaxation in the relationship between them.
But to put it bluntly, Li Muyun was also embarrassed at this time, the reason why he would say these nonsensical things was because he didn't know how to continue the topic, so he could only delay time.
But now it is obvious that it can't be dragged on, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind in a hurry, and he continued: "Li remembers that a great sage once said a famous saying: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, what do you think of this sentence?"
Zheng He, the patriarch of the Zheng clan, spoke for the first time, with an indescribable taste in his voice: "Yes, worthy of a great sage, but I don't know who this sentence came from" Li Muyun shook his head: "It doesn't matter who comes from, what matters is whether you approve of it or not."
A few old men didn't know what Li Muyun wanted to do, but in their hearts, this was indeed said to their hearts, and without involving the interests of the family, several people nodded their heads in approval.
The corners of Li Muyun's mouth provoked an arc: "Since this is the case, then we have a common goal, do you think so?"
The old men continued to nod, only the old man of the Lu family said with some unhappiness: "King Xiaoyao, let's talk something practical, such an unreasonable remark is somewhat inconsistent with your character." ” "Okay."
Li Muyun nodded, and staggered to the center of the room: "As I just said, this world is very big, and in the same way, there are many things in this world that we don't know, and what can make everyone share the profit may not be only what you think." ” Everyone didn't speak, and continued to stare at Li Muyun, wanting to hear what he wanted to say next.
Li Muyun didn't disappoint everyone, he paused and continued: "The reason why you are prejudiced against me Li Muyun is because of the integration of food, the return of the land to the stream and printing, I am not wrong."
"But have you ever thought about it, the little thing that is dug out of the land is really so important to you, or is it to change the land to the stream, is it to change the land to my Li Muyun's hands, in addition, I didn't hide from you about printing, including the way of making paper, I didn't hide it from you, so what makes you so jealous of me?"
The five surnames and seven wang were dumbfounded by Li Muyun's words, and after thinking about it, it seems that things are really like this.
Movable type printing has been made public by Li Muyun on the day it appeared, and he has also made public the way of making paper, logically speaking, it really can't be said that he is wrong, and even from a moral point of view, they have to send Li Muyun a pennant or something, after all, what he discloses plays a pivotal role in the spread of culture.
But then again, the five surnames and Qiwang lost a lot of money because of what Li Muyun made public, so how can they say who to reason with, they left the impression of poetry and books to the world, and they regarded money as dung, so they couldn't say one thing and do another, in that case, what kind of face would come out in the future to pretend and force, so this dumb loss seems to be decided.
But Li Muyun didn't stop there, but continued: "Next, let's talk about one piece of grain, you should know that in fact, the things dug out of the ground are not worth much, the price of grain is getting lower and lower now, and the price of five wen and one bucket has been going on for several years, even if you oppose this policy, how much grain can you save, how much money?"
"Now that our Datang is no longer fighting a civil war, what's the use of hoarding too much food, in addition to causing unnecessary jealousy, who can make a fortune with the extra grain" "If you don't like to hear it, you may say that if there is a famine year, you can gather the hearts of the people, but Li wants to remind you here that we now have rice seeds that can be planted two or three times a year, or a few years later, Datang will no longer have the worry of famine.
"So in Li's view, your insistence is completely unnecessary, it is the trend of the times to pay grain in one piece and change the land and return to the stream, why should you cause Your Majesty to be dissatisfied with that little money" To be honest, it wasn't that the old men with the five surnames and seven wangs couldn't understand everything Li Muyun said, but whenever they thought of having to hand over a large amount of grain every year, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, although it was really not worth much.
But under the influence of inertial thinking and the land complex from the bones, feelings overcame reason, and the conditioned thought of opposing this policy, and now under Li Muyun's reminder, looking back, the old men also regretted it.
The old head of the Wang family had been listening to Li Muyun's speech, and at this time he suddenly spoke: "Then according to the meaning of King Xiaoyao, we should agree to accept grain in one body and change the land and return to the stream."
"Hehe, Master Wang, in fact, I have always felt that all of you here have put the cart before the horse."
Li Muyun did not directly answer the words of the Wang family master, and continued after smiling lightly: "In fact, in my opinion, the survival of the family is the foundation that you should consider. ” Listening to Li Muyun's slightly threatening tone, the face of the old master of the Wang family changed instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "What do you mean?"
Li Muyun waved his hand and said calmly: "Old Master Wang doesn't have to worry, I don't mean to threaten you, just talk about things, today we can get together in order to alleviate the contradictions between each other, so naturally we have to express our thoughts clearly, right?"
Old Master Wang took a deep breath: "Then you can tell me clearly, what you mean by that sentence just now." ” "Ugh."
Li Muyun sighed and said: "Let's talk about it first, what I said is just an assumption, not a fact, if you agree, I will continue to talk about it, if you must take it seriously, then we will stop here, go back to our own homes, how" Seeing what he said solemnly, several old men couldn't help but look at each other, but in the end they nodded, they agreed with Li Muyun's words, and they really wanted to hear what Li Muyun could say.
Li Muyun was also polite, seeing that they all agreed, he said slowly: "I said a very realistic question, if it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness, if you encounter a tyrant like Emperor Yang of Sui, would you still dare to toss like now?"
"Even the grass-headed people know the truth that small arms can't twist their thighs, don't you know that you must squeeze things to the point of swords facing each other?"
Li Xiaogong's cold sweat came down when he heard this, and he slapped the table and said, "Mu Yun, Hugh is talking nonsense."
Li Muyun pouted: "Brother Wang, I'm not talking nonsense, I just want to know how the heads of the families will choose whether to use the lives of all the clansmen to continue to insist or compromise."
It is human nature to deceive good and fear evil, and the main reason why the head of the family with the fifth surname dares to die with Li Er is that Li Shimin is the kind of emperor who wants to save face and can be more or less reasonable.
And this is indeed the case, in history, after Wu Zetian came to power, he killed the family, and in the end, I didn't see how big a wave they made.
Cold sweat began to seep out of the heads of several family heads, although Li Muyun kept saying hypothetical, but who can guarantee that what he said is really hypothetical, and who can guarantee that Li Er really does not have such thoughts.
If the assumption came true, the heads of the family could hardly imagine what the outcome would be.
Li Muyun turned around in the center of the room, his eyes swept over the speechless faces of everyone one by one, and said with a toothy smile: "It seems that you agree with Li's words, so can we continue?"
"If the king of the county has something to say, we will listen to you" The head of the Cui family wiped the cold sweat from the top of his head, and his tone was many times softer than when they first met.
In just a moment, he had already gone through Li Muyun's words in his mind, and vaguely felt that what he said was not necessarily just hypothetical, and it was very likely that Li Shimin's meaning was really behind it
