Chapter Eleven Gossip Future
"Li Mu, have you ever thought about the future?" Li Siwen asked suddenly. Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "I have thought about it!"
Li Siwen showed an interesting look and said, "Let me tell me."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I want to learn a skill to support my family first, then open a store, make more money, so that my mother and... my wife can live a better life."
This is a very official answer. Of course, Li Mu's ambition is more than that. As a time traveler and having a system in mind, isn't it a loss for this opportunity given by fate if he doesn't stir up the prosperous Tang Dynasty? But these words are obviously inappropriate for Li Siwen. So Li Mu thought of a goal that suits his current situation, it cannot be considered a fool. This is the short-term goal.
Li Siwen sighed without saying a word when he heard this. Li Mu felt strange and asked, "Brother Siwen, you asked me, what about you?"
"I..." Li Siwen responded, suddenly looked at Li Mu, and said, "Li Mu, aren't you curious about my identity when you hear the old Tietou call me Mr. Li?"
Why was Li Mu not curious? He was about to find some excuse to ask, but he didn't expect Li Siwen to speak first. How to say this? If Li Siwen doesn't take the initiative to speak, Li Mu will naturally say that he wants to know. But Li Siwen spoke first, and then he has to change his words.
Li Mu was determined to carry out his honest character to the end and said, "If you want to say it, you will naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, I will make you embarrassed if I ask it."
Li Siwen laughed loudly, patted Li Mu on the shoulder hard, and said, "It's better not to ask if you are a good person! I did not misjudgment!" Li Siwen seemed very happy and said, "I respect your filial piety, so there is nothing to hide. Now I will say that I know, I am the second son of Duke Cao Li Ji. People in the army took the reputation of my father and looked up to me. They did not call me an official title, but called me a young master. In fact, I hate this title, but I have any way to control others' mouths!"
Li Mu hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying, "It turns out that he is the Prince of Duke Cao. Li Mu is offensive, and I hope he will forgive me."
"Look, it's boring." Li Siwen pulled Li Mu down and said, "I haven't told you that I'm afraid that this will happen. Let me tell you the truth. Others think that a father who is a general is so powerful. In fact, I really don't feel that way. On the contrary, I'm very painful, because no matter whether I do well or not, people can understand this feeling for my father? My father is also afraid that people will say that he will protect his son and treat me better than ordinary soldiers. The recorder was personally granted by His Majesty. As a result, my father erased the word "joining the army" by his majesty. He said that the son was not good at it, how could he discuss military operations... How could he know that I was not good at it? If I were a son, he was my father, what would he be?"
Li Siwen became more and more depressed as he spoke, and sighed.
As a later generation, Li Mu can understand Li Siwen's feelings very well. He is probably equivalent to the rich second generation in later generations. His father's halo is too dazzling. If you want to start a business, you are not as good as your father. If you do something, you will not feel accomplished even if you succeed. Instead, you should often hear your father say in front of your friends that my son is ignorant and ignorant...
"As for the future..." Li Siwen laughed at himself and said, "My future is not what I can do. My father's title is inherited by my brother. What about me, if Your Majesty is in a good mood, he will be appointed as the prince-in-law? Who knows!"
Seeing that Li Siwen gave up on himself, Li Mu felt unbearable. Although he knew not much history of the Tang Dynasty, he had heard of those who were a little more powerful. It seems that the name Li Siwen has never had this number in TV series. It is estimated that he did not do much in history. However, Li Mu did not underestimate him because of this. With Li Siwen's sincere help these days, it is worth making this friend.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Aren't you in the army now? If you can make military achievements, Your Majesty will definitely reward you."
"Ha! Making military achievements?" Li Siwen seemed to hear some joke, and laughed for a while, saying, "Look, what military achievements can I make here? Your Majesty appointed me as a record officer to join the army. His original intention was to make me some military achievements, but my father... When the army set off, I took over my military power. When I arrived in Dingxiang City, I simply sent me to become a division master and lived with the pen every day. Now the army is chasing the remnants of the Turkic tribe, and there is no Turkic man in Dingxiang City within a radius of 300 miles. How can you make me a military contribution?"
This is true. Li Mu didn't know how to comfort Li Siwen, and the situation at the moment was indeed a bit difficult. Judging from his father Li Ji's various actions, he obviously did not want his son to join the army. Otherwise, as the general manager of the army, even if he did not deliberately create opportunities and would normally lead Li Siwen to fight, he would make a lot of military achievements. For Li Ji's sake, Li Shimin would definitely reward him and give him a good future.
Li Siwen lamented and said, "I have been thinking about it these days and want to write to Your Majesty to request that I remain the magistrate of Dingxiang County. This Dingxiang City is an important town in the border town and a fortress. Although the Turks were pacified this time, Xue Yantuo was staring at him in the north. Sooner or later, I will stay here to operate. When the war starts again in the future, I will be a loyal and righteous minister who will defend the city. Even if reinforcements do not arrive and the enemy breaks through the city, I will die for the city and leave my name in history!"
Speaking of this, Li Siwen was already full of solemn face, as if that day had arrived. Li Mu was stunned by the side. What about the prince of the country? He was just a middle-aged boy, and he was also a middle-aged boy who had added a lot of dramas to his head.
Of course, Li Mu would not expose it. He nodded and praised it as if he agreed so much that he could no longer agree: "A real man should be like this!"
"Do you think too?" Li Siwen was very happy when he met his soulmate. He slapped his thigh and said, "It's settled. I'll write a copy immediately, trying to decide on this before my father returns to the army, otherwise he will definitely interfere."
After Li Siwen finished speaking, he jumped up and patted his butt and ran away. Li Mu looked at him and smiled helplessly. How much does this guy want to prove himself? He actually wanted to ask about the secret method. Now it seems that he has to wait until Li Siwen comes next time.
After resting for so long, the sweat on his body disappeared. Li Mu looked at the stamina of 70 points and decided to do two more furnaces to end today's work. Suddenly he noticed the record of smelting iron ingots just now and raised his eyebrows. When he just melted the iron ingots, in addition to iron ingots * 1, gold and copper impurities were also produced.
Li Mu looked up the records and found that every time the iron ore is smelted, there are gold impurities or copper impurities produced. The system will not record valuable data. Since it specifically marked these two impurities, it means that they are useful. Li Mu's mind moved and picked up a piece of slag on the ground, and a system prompt immediately appeared in his mind.
[Gold impurities, accompanied by iron ore, can be extracted and gold is extracted.].
Li Mu immediately threw the gold impurity into the stove and silently thought to refine it in his heart.
[You don’t know how to forge the technique yet: refining metals, please learn first. Elementary forging technique: refining metals costs 5 yuan, do you learn it?].
Li Mu was ecstatic and immediately shouted confirmation in his heart!
