Chapter 181 Old Liar

Li Mu looked at Sun Simiao's expression, looked at it for a long time, smiled helplessly, and said, "Old man, I really can't hear what you said. Which sentence is true or which sentence is false."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Young man, for the sake of your helping me print books, I will tell you the truth. I have been in the world for decades, and I can't tell you the truth, the true, the false, the true, and the true. Only medical skills are absolutely true, and everything else... I have told you, let's listen to it, if you believe it, there will be, if you don't believe it, there will be nothing."

"Okay." Li Mu sighed and said, "Then tell me and I'll listen to the story."

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "This Ziwei Doushu is what I learned from an alien when you were so old. At that time, I was young and curious, so I studied it for a while. In fact, I was not very proficient in learning. My talent is not on this, I can only understand it in a few ways."

"But the Yiren who taught me Ziwei Doushu told me a lot of things about the past. If you ask about the Demon Star, I will tell you one."

Li Mu nodded, looking curious about the baby, and urged: "Tell me quickly and tell me quickly."

"Do you know Wang Mang?"

Wang Mang?

When Li Mu heard this name, he was stunned. He was so familiar with this name. The jokes about Wang Mang are all over the Internet. In the year of the Olympics, Li Mu had read jokes about Wang Mang.

It is said that he is the most like a time traveler among historical figures. Because Wang Mang did many things in the late Han Dynasty, it was very advanced. For example, he collected land as state-owned and then distributed it equally by households. He abolished the slavery system and strictly traded private slaves. He also controlled prices and strictly prohibited bureaucrats and merchants from raising grain prices. He created a "state-owned enterprise", a specialty for salt, iron and wine. He forced the people to work, and there would be no food to eat without work, commending workers. He also wrote books, and important basic classics such as "Chinese Dictionary", "Medical Dictionary", "Marriage and Funeral Dictionary", all of which were written by others.

The most realistic example is that later generations discovered a bronze caliper. The appearance of this bronze caliper is exactly the same as that of later generations, and even the scale is the same.

According to the further analysis of the author of the article, Wang Mang is not only a time traveler, but also a time traveler of the second-year-old young post-80s. This can be seen from his policy of treating the "Four Barbarians" after he took power.

He forced the Qiang people to "distribute" the land in the Qinghai Lake area to establish Xihai County, so as to combine with the existing Beihai County, Nanhai County and Donghai County in China to gather the "four seas". In order to make this wasteland look like a county, it was necessary to immigrate forcibly, so fifty laws were added to increase thousands of criminals and meet the needs of immigrants. He also downgraded the rulers of the vassal states such as the Huns, Goguryeo, the Western Regions and the Southwest Yi, who were originally surrendered to the Han Dynasty, from the original "king" to the "marquis". He also took back and damaged the "Xiongnu Chanyu Seal" and granted the "New Xiongnu Chanyu Seal"; he even changed the Xiongnu Chanyu to "submitted slaves to", conquered Goguryeo several times, and changed it to "Xiao Juli" and so on, which were extremely popular.

You should know that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty in 5 AD. What he did was incredible at the time, even unnecessary, and it was absolutely inconsistent with the times. Even though his ideas were very good, the actual operation could not be carried out.

Therefore, the "New Dynasty" he established was destroyed in less than fifteen years and was replaced by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Li Mu recalled everything about Wang Mang and nodded.

Sun Simiao continued: "Wang Mang is a man with great talent. He became the Grand Tutor and took over the power. He was named Anhan Duke. The Han Secretary recorded that at that time, everything was divided by Anhan Duke and the Four Auxiliary. Later, his ambition was expanded. In addition, the emperor was young, so he forced Ru Ziying to abdicate and become the emperor and changed the country's name to "Xin". After he became the emperor, he carried out many inexplicable reforms. In the end, all failed. He was plagued by locusts and was unable to live in the land. The people could not live in their lives, and the people changed their children to eat. In the end, the anger of the Han royal family rose up and attacked the capital. The Xin Dynasty was destroyed and reigned for only fifteen years."

"That strange man told me that Wang Mang is a demon star and a disaster star. And what you are doing now is quite similar to what he does. He reforms, you also reforms, and he has great talents, and you are the same. By analogy, don't you think it's very similar?"

"I don't think!" Li Mu of course could not admit it. Although he did think that Wang Mang was probably also a time traveler, his fate was not very good, and he was a traitor who usurped the throne. If he admitted to being like Wang Mang, wouldn't he be in Xuancheng? One day, would Li Mu also usurp the Li Tang Dynasty?

Only a fool admits.

"I, Li Mu, devoted myself to the people and are even more loyal to Your Majesty. How can I compare with Wang Mang and others? Old man, don't harm me, you have to be worthy of the money I spent on printing books for you."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "I have said it many times. If I believe it, I will have it. If I don't believe it, I will not. I am not very proficient in Ziwei Doushu, so I may not be able to calculate it accurately."

Li Mu thought to himself, this is not accurate. If you have a little more accurate, my details are leaked! Fortunately, he didn't notice the system, otherwise he would have really killed the old man at all costs.

After chatting for a few more words, it was getting darker. Li Zhien came over to inform the chef that the banquet had been prepared. Li Mun thought that a miracle doctor like Sun Simiao must pay great attention to health care. He had seen people in his previous life, such as he worked as a manager of a game company at the age of 40 and earned 30 million yuan a year. He had two children with twins, his wife was a model, and his mistress was also a model. He also recognized an internet celebrity female anchor as his "goddaughter". His life was colorful. He was very afraid of death, and he was guided by professionals. Twelve months, and the monthly supplement was different. The articles forwarded in the circle of friends were not at all related to work. They were all health care classes, and they lived so finely.

Li Mu thought Sun Simiao was also "health preservation" in this way, but the eating habits of Sun Simiao and his apprentice completely shattered his concept of "health preservation".

The meal was arranged by Li Zhien. She was grateful to Sun Simiao for treating Li Mu, so she spent a lot of money to buy rare vegetables in winter to entertain Sun Simiao. However, the two plates of vegetables were not eaten by their masters and apprentices. Instead, they were the meat that was "combing up the numbers". The two masters and apprentices seemed to be robbing, and their luck was as fast as flying, and they were full of oil.

Li Mu was stunned and held the chopsticks for a long time but didn't fall down. When he realized that he wanted to pick up the food, he found that there was nothing but vegetables to pick up. Then he looked at the two masters and apprentices opposite him, one of whom had a sheep rib in his hand, and was gnawing at the thorns there.

Li Mu put down the chopsticks and said, "My doctor, I'll ask, how long has it been since you ate meat?"

Sun Simiao wiped the oil stains on the goat beard and said, "It made Zhulu Hou laugh. We master and apprentice travel around to practice medicine, sleep in the wind and open, eat whatever we encounter, it would be better to have patients in towns. If you wander between villages, there would be no meat food for the people's homes. It took about twenty days to come from Luoyang, and you have never smelled the meat."

Li Mu wondered: "Miscellaneous Doctor, you should have a lot of money to treat patients. When you arrive in Chang'an, you can't buy anything if you have money, don't be too stingy."

At this time, Sun Simiao's apprentice spoke and said, "The Marquis doesn't know anything, and his teacher never asks for medical treatment. His teacher often says that doctors are kind-hearted. When they think of the suffering of patients, how can they bear to force them with money? When they meet a rich family, they take the initiative to offer their respects, and the teacher reluctantly accepts them. But they also spend all the money on the poor, and the master, and the remaining money is only a thousand yuan."

Qianwen is a one-time money. I really didn’t expect that a great doctor only has one-time money. This amount of money is just a few days of food.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, looking at the master and apprentice's dress, he really doesn't look like a rich person. Li Mu suddenly remembered that he should pay a doctor's fee today. He spent so much money on printing books, so he couldn't owe a favor for this.

Thinking of this, Li Mu told Li Zhien: "Get the biggest ingot to give the miracle doctor a medical fee."

"Yeah!" Li Zhien responded, got up and went to the inner room to get a ingot. The silver ingots cast by Li Mu were the largest one. This ingot is a pound of ingot.

Li Mu took the ingot and put it in front of Sun Simiao, saying, "The miracle doctor has unparalleled medical skills. After drinking your medicine, I feel much better. I have a small consultation fee. I don't respect you, I hope you can accept it with a smile."

Sun Simiao immediately smiled and said, "Marquis Zhulu is too polite. The young disciple is just explaining the truth and has no intention of asking for a doctor's medical treatment!"

"Then I'll take it back?"

"But there is no need." Sun Simiao hurriedly put the ingot into his sleeve and said, "Marquis Zhulu sincerely gives you to you. If I don't accept it, I will not give you any face. Since that's the case, I will accept it. When I donate herbs to the poor people in the future, I will definitely inform them that this is the merit of Marquis Zhulu."

Li Mu laughed, but said in his heart, you old liar, you'll see the hell if you believe your words!

As the sunset drooped, the gate was about to close. Li Mu called Dugu Jiu to send the master and disciple back to his residence. He also sent it to the gate and turned back to the backyard. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

On weekdays, Bai Qiaoqiao would prepare to take a shower, which was her habit. But today, she seemed to be less interested. She went to bed alone, turned her back to the outside, without saying a word, as if she was asleep.

Li Zhien sat at the table, holding a sheep's pen in his hand, recording the expenses in the mansion today. Seeing Li Mu back, he kept winking at him.

Li Mu didn't understand why, Li Zhien was so anxious that he had no choice but tore off a piece of paper from the account book and wrote a few words for him to show. Only then did Li Mu understand what it meant. It turned out that he was saying the wrong thing in the afternoon. He said nothing, saying that Bai Qiaoqiao brought poison, and said that she wanted to murder her husband. Bai Qiaoqiao went to his heart and was depressed all afternoon.

No wonder I didn't hear her talking while eating just now.

Li Mu recalled what he said in the afternoon and smiled bitterly. It was really not a pity for him to be angry. Thinking from the perspective of others, he would be angry too.
