But at the moment when Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling with great expectation,
Immediately afterwards, I heard Fang Xuanling say with an excited smile, "Your Majesty, this matter is still undecided. Why don't we go to Hangzhou and ask for your advice?"
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking,
Li Er, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui:...
What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless.
Li Er simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
These old guys have been helped by my emperor too many times, and now they really rely on my emperor.
In the future, will you serve as ministers to my emperor, or will my emperor serve as ministers to you?
but……
Although he was a little annoyed, Li Er thought carefully for a while, but his old face couldn't help but blush.
"...This seems to be the only way to do it."
Then he took a deep breath and looked at the chamberlain with an unkind expression, "Then prepare your horses and pack your luggage, and I'll go visit my child!"
Watching the servant say hello and leaving the Manlu Hall, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief at the same time for some unknown reason, and Li Er even showed a somewhat relaxed expression.
That's right... If you are an old man and you are undecided, why don't you ask the young people in your family who to ask?
What a big deal, really...
Li Er shook his head and suddenly realized... Fang Xuanling, no, this old Fang's idea is really good. Once you accept this setting, being an emperor is actually so easy... Ah hehe hehe hehe...
…
"oh……"
Chang'an City, inside the Lion Tower.
In a private room, between the private seats, Li Sheng prolonged the last word and said...
Then he looked at Li Er and others with a squinted smile.
"Old Li, you brothers are really... Originally, you wanted to see if sea trade can make money, and you want to engage in sea trade. Now you are halfway through it, and you want to start a newspaper business again. It's really..."
Li Sheng pretended to laugh and cry, looking at Li Er and others with a meaningful smile.
Seeing Li Sheng's expression, Li Er, Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but lower their heads in shame.
I can only sigh secretly in my heart, it is really not easy to be a bastard, and I can only be so humble when meeting the acting trainer...
Sure enough, everything has a price.
Of course, Li Er's embarrassed expression, in Li Sheng's opinion, was the embarrassment of failure due to the heat of doing business for three minutes. It was normal and nothing unusual.
But since these guys asked about it...
Li Sheng just laughed and said nothing.
Isn't this a simple matter?
"You guys... are overthinking. Some people spread rumors and others will refute them. As information technology becomes richer and more developed, this will happen sooner or later. What's all the fuss about?"
Li Sheng leisurely raised a glass of wine and took a sip, and then suddenly said, "There will be such a situation, and it is useless just to open your mouth. So we can only make words. Only by making words can we establish a system of etiquette and law, and be loyal to the family."
People all over the country should organize themselves."
"But as for the situation you are talking about..."
Li Sheng scratched his ear with some toothache, "This is actually nothing, it's just making up a joke... Then you guys should expose this kind of joke they make. Please explain clearly what this Cordyceps is, this rumor is not
Just get out of here?"
When Li Sheng said this, Li Er and others couldn't help but be startled.
This time they originally planned to leave Chang'an City and go to Hangzhou to ask Li Sheng how to handle the situation.
Who knows, before he left the city, he caught up with Li Sheng and came to Chang'an. When Li Sheng came to Chang'an, of course he came to see the Zizhenzhai here, because he hadn't seen it for a long time.
This is the shop.
And Li Sheng's words... do sound very reasonable.
The essence of the so-called auspicious theory is of course prophecy. It is a way for the common people to show who they support and who they do not support, and for scholars to mobilize people's hearts to achieve their own goals. And for this thing to have so many effects, an important
The key point is that science is not developed enough, otherwise these things will be quickly eliminated when modernity comes.
Of course, prophecy has its value. What to do after it is eliminated by modernity? Of course, there is a follow-up statement...
But for now, since the auspiciousness that Datang currently encounters has no positive value and only needs to be removed, then from Li Sheng's perspective, this matter is of course very simple... but in the eyes of Li Er and others
From a human perspective, this is not easy.
Who knows what this half-insect, half-flower thing is!
I don’t know at all, how to break this rumor?
Li Er couldn't help but look at each other with Wei Zheng and others, showing a wry smile.
It is indeed too difficult to govern the country... there are too many troubles.
Who knows what kind of strange creature is found in an uninhabited place that is relatively remote even compared to Lingzhou? No one knows whether it is good or not.
But... having said that, Li Er and others still have some expectations in their hearts.
He doesn't know, nor do these guys, but maybe Li Sheng knows what it is?
"Uh... Master, what exactly is this cordyceps?"
"Yes, sir, this thing is half insect, half vegetation... It seems that there is no such strange thing in the world that will be passed down as a bad omen, but this is also..."
Fang Xuanling murmured for a while, and the more he murmured, the more he felt that this thing called "Cordyceps" itself was too mysterious. Such a rare thing could even be said to have never been seen in ancient times, so of course it was
No wonder it is said to be so magical among the people.
But Li Sheng just smiled faintly.
"Of course there is no such thing in the world, because this thing called 'Cordyceps' is not 'one thing' at all, but two!"
"Two...two kinds?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but be startled at first. Apart from Li Sheng, he was the only one with a Taoist education background in terms of erudition. But even he felt that this "Cordyceps" was too magical.
only……
Li Sheng's tone clearly showed that he really understood this thing... This was a bit too incredible.
Then Li Sheng said, "Although this Cordyceps is strange, it is not actually strange in the thing itself. The bug part of this thing is actually the larvae of a moth. And the grass..."
"It is a kind of fungus. You can completely understand that it is a kind of mushroom. Generally, fungi are parasitic on rotten wood and animals, but this kind of fungus is parasitic on insects. Over time...the bugs are squeezed out by the fungus.
nutrients, and the fungus grew stronger and stronger, and finally broke out and turned into the so-called 'Cordyceps' seen by those merchants."
"But in fact, in the final analysis, these are just bugs and fungi. Lao Li, you usually..."
With that said, Li Sheng took a bite of the dishes on the table and looked at Li Er and others suspiciously, "You don't usually eat this kind of thing, right?"
