Through inquiries from multiple sources, Prince Zhenla learned about something. Zhulu Hou was very interested in the "seed". He spent 1,000 guan to acquire a seed called "potato" from a South Vietnamese businessman, which claimed that it could produce thousands of kilograms per mu.

Prince Zhenla naturally didn't believe such exaggerated numbers. However, this also reminded him that although he did not have "potatoes", he also had seeds and rice seeds. With a try-and-see attitude, Prince Zhenla decided to use this as a stepping stone to meet Li Mu to try his luck. However, he did not have much confidence in this seed, because there were also rice in the Tang Dynasty, and the staple food of the Tang Dynasty was wheat and corn. Rice was not the mainstream food. Moreover, the conditions required for growing rice were much more harsh than planting wheat and millet, and Zhulu Hou might not like it.

But even so, Prince Zhenla must try it because he can't wait. If he drags on it, it will be as the head of the Honglu Temple said, and it will take two months to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Zhenla may no longer exist.

...

As soon as Li Mu got home and washed his hands and prepared to have dinner, the doorman Zhao Youcai came to report that a guest came to visit. When he dared to visit at dusk, Li Mu thought he was such an important person. When he came out, he turned out to be the little bald man, Yikyu. There was a "short and ugly" standing beside him, and his body was extremely humble. Li Mu guessed with his toes that this person must be an important person in the Japanese mission. He curled his lips and ignored him. He raised his hand and touched Yikyu's little bald man, and said, "Little bald man, you love to take care of the affairs of the adults. But I am a person who only recognizes money and is not very sympathetic. Even if you bring him here, I don't want to give you face and send you off."

Mitasaki Tou had long heard of Li Mu's temper, and he turned his back on his face. When his temper got up, no one had any face. When he saw this, he quickly fell to the ground: "Japanese ambassador Mitasaki Touu paid homage to Marquis Zhulu. He came here today and asked the Marquis to forgive him!"

Li Mu turned around and glanced at him, saying, "The ambassador is so polite. There are more than 20 days left for the Chinese New Year. You greet the New Year in advance and have no rewards. You should go wherever you should go, don't get annoyed by me."

Mida-hoku's face turned red and opened his mouth. He couldn't say anything he wanted to say. Li Mu got out of it, as if he had stuffed a piece of shit into his mouth, which had blocked his words.

"Marquis Zhulu!"

Ikyu suddenly spoke, Li Mu stopped, turned around and looked at him, and said, "Little bald man, I have a good impression of you. But it's only for good. You are a child, so it's better not to worry about adults' affairs. Otherwise, the little good impression you left on me will be gone."

Ikyu looked up at Li Mu, his eyes bright: "I just don't understand why we are very kind, but you are rude to each other? I heard from the master that the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom is a country of etiquette, but why did the Supreme Kingdom of the Supreme Kingdom be rude after we came to Chang'an? I don't understand very much, so I ask the Marquis to answer the doubts."

Mida-guchi Inuku was so scared that his face turned green. He quickly covered Ikkyu's mouth and leaned on the ground in horror: "The child is talking nonsense, please forgive me...I forgive me..."

"Hahaha..." Seeing the completely different reactions of the two Japanese, Li Mu suddenly laughed. He pointed to the chair and said, "It just happened that I had time today, so I told you, "That 'dog', it's okay to listen to it next to you."

Inugumi Mita-chan hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Ikkyu did not sit, but was still standing in front of Li Mu, waiting for his answer. Li Mu saw confusion and complaints in his eyes, and he could understand this feeling. When a person is full of fairy tale fantasies about something or a place, but in fact it is seriously inconsistent with his fantasies, this is roughly the feeling.

"Ikyu, I'll ask you a few questions first."

"Please ask."

"You and I don't know each other at first, and I didn't allow you to visit my house, but you still came. When you heard that I was polite to guests, you also wanted me to treat you politely. But I don't recognize you, and you and me are not friends. Why do I want to treat you politely?"

"Um..." Ikyu couldn't answer, but he was a smart child after all, and his eyes rolled and he said, "But the Analects of Confucius says that it's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar..."

"This is right. There are 'friends' coming from afar. Japan and the Tang Dynasty have never had any contact, so how can we talk about the word 'friend'?" Li Mu said coldly: "You are not 'friends' to the Tang Dynasty, nor 'guests'. You come without asking for help. You are not invited. Why does the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty do not want to see you? If I remember well, during the former Emperor Yang of Sui, the ambassador of the Japanese state once said that the King of the Japanese was the 'Emperor at Sunrise' and called the former Emperor Yang of Sui the Emperor', so how big the tone was!"

"My Tang Dynasty inherited the fate of the Sui Kingdom and took charge of the world. According to this statement, if I see you, wouldn't it be the 'Son of Heaven at Sunset'? The small country is arrogant and overestimated. Throughout history, the barbarian country has never been more rude than you. So when I heard the word "ritual" from your mouth just now, I felt very ridiculous. The barbarians dare to talk about etiquette? It's extremely ridiculous!"

Inugu Mida-sama was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. However, Ikkyu's child was smart, but he didn't know the importance of it and didn't understand his expression. Hearing this, he said, "I think I'm right. Can't the emperor of our country be called a monarch?"

"No!" Li Mu said loudly, Ikkyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why can't it?"

"The emperor is the king. The Literature of Zhou said that a country with a thousand chariot can be a marquis, and a country with a thousand chariots can be a lord. A chariot is a chariot. In ancient times, four horses pulled a chariot, three soldiers on the chariot, seventy-two infantrymen under the chariot, twenty-five soldiers, a total of a hundred people. The Tang Dynasty's soldiers were more than one million soldiers, but it was undoubtedly a country with a 100 chariot. Therefore, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could be called a monarch. It was difficult for the Kingdom of Japan to make a full plan. In such a small place, he dared to call himself a monarch? Even the princes were not qualified!"

"..." The little bald man was so angry that he thought for a long time, and he quipped his lips and said, "We don't have to follow the "Book of Zhou".

Li Mu sneered and asked, "Who did you learn the words you write, the books you read, the seasons you pass, and the calendar you use?"

"Yes..." Ikkyu stopped talking.

"Don't you feel shameless, little bald? Use our words, learn our knowledge, pass our seasons, and use our calendars. Now you tell me not to follow the "Book of Zhou". Who taught you the fallacy?"

Ikyu remained silent for a long time, bowed and said, "The little monk is wrong, thank you for your advice."

Li Mu laughed, touched his bald head, and said, "It's okay, you can still know that you are wrong, it's not easy. It's great to know that you can improve your mistakes. This time I won't care about you. Go back and reflect on it. The time is here, and Your Majesty will meet you. If the time is not there, it's useless to be clever."

Li Mu glanced at Mita-chan, who was sweating profusely beside him and said, "Does the ambassador think this marquis is right?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme. Every word of the Marquis's words is so correct that it can't be correct."

Li Mu snorted coldly, interrupted him, and said, "If you have anything, don't expect your children to do it. No matter how smart the children are, they are just children. Teach them more and don't make good children like you. Don't think that I don't know your background. Is the person you are truly loyal to is the king of Japan?"

"Ah!" Inugu Mida-roe was shocked. He looked at Li Mu in horror, and he was fixed on his body.

Li Mu was also a little surprised to see his reaction. He actually didn't know anything, it was just a deception, because in his impression, the so-called emperor in the shogunate rule was just a puppet. In fact, this is his memory that the shogunate era is still very far away.

Li Mu snorted coldly, pretending to be profound and no longer spoke. Seeing this, Zhao Youcai came to see the guests. Ikkyu bowed deeply to Li Mu again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and left with Inugashi Mida-sama.

Li Mu yawned and just got up and wanted to go back to the backyard. Zhao Youcai turned over again. Li Mu looked at him and said angrily: "You are such a gatekeeper... What's the point of using me to want you!"

Zhao Youcai looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to talk back. Li Mu waved his hand irritably and said, "Call in!"

Zhao Youcai brought Prince Zhenla in. Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Where did you come out again? Why do you find me? Tell me quickly if you have something to do, and let go if you have nothing to do!"

"..." Prince Zhenla did not expect Li Mu to be so 'vulgar' and was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. It was the beard Duolou next to him who signaled him with his eyes that he realized, and quickly gave a deep gift, raised the cloth bag in his hand and respectfully presented it to Li Mu, saying, "The little king is from Zhenla Kingdom. I heard that the Marquis liked to collect seeds, so I came to offer rice seeds in the country. Please accept it with a smile."

"Seed?" Li Mu has always been very interested in seeds. Especially rice seeds. As a time traveler, he grew up eating rice, it is really difficult for him to adapt to the "corn" eaten by the Tang Dynasty. This thing is different from the millet he ate before time traveling. Strictly speaking, it is a bit like the seeds of dog tail grass, and the taste is hard to describe.

Rice is better, but there are too few rice in the Tang Dynasty. And he doesn’t know what’s going on. The rice in the Tang Dynasty is very small and it’s really unpalatable.

At this time, someone offered rice seeds, how could he not attract his interest?

Li Mu took the cloth bag and waved his hand. Zhao Youcai asked Prince Zhenla and Ren Duolou to help him bring two cups of tea. Prince Zhenla was immediately flattered. He saw the face of Santa Chou who had just walked out, and was already desperate. Unexpectedly, he received courtesy. Is Zhulu Hou's tea a common person who could drink? He heard that Prince Gaochang spent 20,000 yuan and barely drank one cup.

Li Mu opened the cloth bag and reached out to grab a handful of rice. When he saw the narrow grains of rice, his eyes lit up.

This kind of rice is infinitely close to the rice he ate in his previous life. At the same time, a prompt also appeared in his mind.

【Chancheng Rice】.

A very familiar name, but Li Mu couldn't remember it for a moment, so he had seen it. However, since it was a system certified thing, it must be a good thing. Li Mu glanced at Prince Zhenla, without showing any expression, put the rice seeds next to him, and smiled on his face.

Seeing Li Mu looking over with a smile, Prince Zhenla, who was drinking tea, hurriedly put down the tea cup and sat upright at Li Mu, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to criticize.

"Don't be nervous." Li Mu smiled and said, "Prince Zhenla, right?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Wang Motorcycle."

"What?"

Prince Zhenla thought Li Mu didn't hear it clearly, so he repeated it again: "Xiao Wang Motorcycle."

"..." Li Mu was stunned again, and after two seconds of reacting, the guy's name was 'Motor', he couldn't help laughing and said, "Good name. Then, the motorcycle prince, you offer me rice seeds, you must have something to ask for. You don't have any rewards. If you have any need, tell me what you need. For the sake of rice seeds, I can help you as much as possible. Maybe you have a happy chat, and we can still talk about a business."

Motorcycle was overjoyed and stood up excitedly: "If this is true, then I would be very grateful to the Marquis. The Marquis is very kind and the Motorcycle is unforgettable. Thank you, Marquis!"

"Don't be excited for now." Li Mu pointed to the chair, and the motorcycle hurriedly sat down honestly. Li Mu said, "Tell me about the matter first."

"The little king wants to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help Zhenla Kingdom!"

After listening to the motorcycle, Li Mu understood what was going on. Zhenla Kingdom can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and there was such a country. However, Zhenla Kingdom has been a vassal state of another country in the Indochina Peninsula since its birth. Although the kings of Zhenla Kingdom have never given up on their independence for hundreds of years, they have never been able to realize it. Zhenla Kingdom has been bullied by Funan Kingdom. If this was the case, it would be nothing. It would have been used to it for hundreds of years. However, by the generation of Motorcycle's father, the kings of Funan Kingdom were no longer satisfied with bullying, and they wanted to annex Zhenla Kingdom.

Zhenla Kingdom could not compete with the army of Funan Kingdom and was retreating step by step. The neighboring countries took the threat of Funan Kingdom and did not dare to send troops to help Zhenla Kingdom. Seeing that the country was about to fall, the king of Zhenla had to do whatever he wanted and sent his son to bypass Funan Kingdom with heavy gifts to come to the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could send troops to help. Although Zhenla Kingdom himself knew that the mountains were high and the road was long, the Tang Dynasty might not help, but there was no way. At least, he sent his son out, and even if he died, his bloodline could at least survive.

Motorbike said while crying, and when he mentioned his father, he felt even more sad and burst into tears. Li Mu was not very interested in this. He was a native of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Zhenla was destroyed, it had nothing to do with him. Rice seeds were what he cared about.
