Li Yue looked at such a short cotton thread curiously, "This thread looks better than that made of hemp."
Zhang Yang sighed, "When the cotton we planted on the edge of Weinan grows, we can knit sweaters that same day."
The palace in the middle of the night looks like a man-eating beast. The palace gate is dark and empty, as if you are staring into the abyss. Just looking at it makes you feel dizzy.
Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin and spoke, "This time I met Zhang Yang and that's all I said."
Li Shimin's eyes were on the flickering candlelight, "He left after that?"
Changsun Wuji nodded, "I'm leaving in a hurry."
"I remember that I asked him to go to the Imperial College to study, but he never went."
"A country boy made such a big mistake without any discipline. His Majesty did not punish him severely because he was young. If he is to be used in the future, he needs to be taught a good lesson."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded.
All the heroes in the world have fallen into my lap.
In addition to the heroes of the past, Li Shimin wanted heroes in the world, and he also wanted young heroes.
Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will make arrangements right away."
After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin asked someone to spread out the paper and start practicing calligraphy. In the Tang Dynasty, there were masters of calligraphy such as Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun, which made people proud. Every time he finished practicing calligraphy, he liked to listen to other people's comments on the calligraphy.
The season has not yet entered autumn, and Chang'an City is still sweltering.
The couple came to Qujiang Pool to relax. Too many troubles had happened recently.
Li Yuezheng was reading the story of the Red Mansion in the book, and had seen the tragic experiences of each character in the book. Jin Chuan could not bear the humiliation and threw himself into a well. The second sister You was harmed by Sister Feng. She mistakenly took tiger and wolf medicine and swallowed gold and committed suicide. The third sister You. He drank his sword and died in love.
Qingwen died of illness, and Baoyu was heartbroken...
This is a story that makes people so sad that they can’t help themselves.
Li Yue looked at her husband's smile and said, "Being stripped of official clothes is not such a big deal."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "When we have movable type printing, we will sell stories like this."
Li Tai also arrived at Qujiang Pond. Today is the day to divide accounts. "What book is Sister Huang reading?"
Li Yue handed the book in her hand to Li Tai, "The Red Mansion, the story my husband told me, I only wrote down this story last night."
Li Tai is not interested in this kind of story. Now he is interested in making money. The Wei Palace is too short of money.
Cheng Chumo came with a large cart of money.
The three of them each took out their account books and began to reconcile.
"The total profit is one thousand one hundred and thirty-three yuan." Li Yue said while flipping the abacus.
Li Taiduo glanced at this exquisite abacus.
The three people began to divide the money according to their respective portions. Zhang Yang took 500 guan each, and the remaining 300 guan each was taken by Li Tai and Cheng Chumo.
After several checks to confirm that everything was correct, each received their own money.
"The money is getting less and less. The milk tea business is not as busy as before, but the soap business is not bad. I plan to add more mint-flavored soap."
Zhang Yang looked at Cheng Chumo, "What have you been doing lately?"
Cheng Chumo was lying under the shade of a tree, "My brothers encountered something and sent people to Luoyang."
"Luoyang? What happened in Luoyang?"….
"Many people's wealth has been robbed. Recently, a group of scammers have appeared. They use the magic of turning stone into gold to deceive people. The poor people are not used to it." Cheng Chumo stared into the distance with his big eyes.
There is no justice in the world, so we must eradicate evil and support justice. Cheng Chumo will never return on this road.
Was it because you told him the story of Water Margin?
Cheng Chumo whispered, "I don't know if we can find these people. Do you think our strength is too weak?"
"Brother Chumo, what do you want to do?"
"I hope to have more manpower."
"Chu Mo, don't be like this, I'm worried something will happen." Li Tai whispered.
"The government is slow and slow in doing things, so they just let those crooks get away with it?" Cheng Chumo's tone was very calm, unlike his usual self.
Seeing Cheng Chumo stand up and leave, Li Tai looked worried, "I always felt that something would happen to Chumo like this."
"Leave it to him, who doesn't have a heart full of blood?"
Li Tai looked contemptuous, "You are not passionate."
Zhang Yang sighed, "When a person has experienced too much, his passion has long been extinguished by the world."
"You're only twenty, how much can you go through?"
Sitting by the Qujiang Pool and grilling meat is the most pleasant time. This is considered a summer resort in Chang'an City.
The wind blowing from the pool takes away the heat.
Li Tai ate the barbecue with a mouth full of fat. He used overeating to vent the boredom he had been feeling these days.
It's uncomfortable to be interrupted in your leisure time. Now there is a clerk talking to the side.
"His Majesty's decree, as arranged by Duke Zhao, the prince-in-law needs to go to Guozi every day to monitor the classes."
Li Yue also didn't understand, "My husband is already twenty years old, why do he still go to the Imperial Academy to monitor classes?"
The clerk bowed and said, "I would also like to ask the consort to go to the Imperial College. This is also His Majesty's order."
Li Yue thought about it, "Can I go too?"
"Of course you can."
Letting Li Yue hold his hand, Zhang Yang listened to her say, "My husband, the Imperial College, has many, many books."
Zhang Yang also whispered back, "That's not bad."
Li Yue also lowered her voice, "It is said that there are many books and unique copies that cannot be found in the market."
Although the couple's discussion was not loud.
But the clerk heard clearly that the couple's whisper was a bit loud.
Follow the two young officials to the Imperial College.
Aunt Wang accompanied me, "The prince of Hejian County said that the cotton purchased by Gaochang will arrive in a few days."
The couple took a stroll on Zhuque Street, walking not very fast.
Li Yue bought a bowl of milk tea, and it was milk tea with brown sugar added, which cost 20 yuan.
"The price is quite expensive."
"At that time, the twenty coins will be reimbursed to His Highness the King of Wei."
The little official could only follow the prince consort and the princess around, and he didn't say much as they went shopping.
The store is located on Zhuque Street, which is the most prosperous location in Chang'an City and has the largest flow of people.
The little fat man has good taste.
We didn't see the Imperial College until we got to the edge of the imperial city. As soon as we walked in, we saw noisy children running out.
Just looking at this scene, Zhang Yang felt a headache, it was such a noisy place. ….
It wasn't until Kong Yingda came out that the children sat down.
Looking at Zhang Yang standing at the door, Kong Yingda smiled and said, "This must be Zhang Shilang and Princess Runan."
"I've met Master Kong." Li Yue saluted.
Zhang Yang also bowed slightly.
Kong Yingda's hair is black and white, mostly white, and his temples are already gray.
"I have already listened to what Duke Zhao Guo said about everything. From now on, I will monitor the class at Guozi. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Li Yue smiled playfully, "Old Master, can we read the collection of books in the Imperial College?"
Kong Yingda smiled and said, "Of course you can."
Pointing to a room on the side, Kong Yingda smiled and said, "The books are in there, Princess, please do as you like."
"By the way." Kong Yingda was about to enter the classroom and regain his composure and took out a scroll from his arms, "This is a scroll that Zhao Guogong selected for you. It will be useful to you. You are still young now, and there will be more in the future." More opportunities, don’t be discouraged by this one.”
Zhang Yang couldn't help but take a breath, "What a coincidence, Zhao Guogong also said such a thing."
"Yeah?"
Kong Yingda smiled and walked into the classroom.
Zhang Yang looked at the children in the classroom. The children here were all thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were all in elementary school.
stage.
I stood there stunned for a long time, feeling a little complicated at the moment. I was like a senior repeater, and I had to go to class with these children?
Then I saw that my wife had entered the study room of the Imperial College.
Zhang Yang stopped looking at the classroom and walked into the study room.
The daughter-in-law was holding a book and reading it with gusto.
Opening the book Kong Yingda gave him, Zhang Yang opened it and looked at it quietly. It was better not to read it.
After reading it, Zhang Yang had a complicated expression. This book was filled with the concept of being a minister, and there were words between the lines that if you don't repay the emperor and you don't serve as a minister, you are not a human being.
Closing the book again, Zhang Yang closed his eyes and cursed angrily, "Changsun Wuji is really a loser, and you Li Shimin are not human either."
Listening to the sound of reading coming from the classroom next door, Zhang Yang lost interest.
Sometimes I really doubt that the emperor is mentally abnormal. Li Shimin's mental state may be normal, but not much.
Today's Li Shimin is ambitious, but who could have imagined that Datang would be a huge mess in the future, which would be difficult to clean up.
After the class, Kong Yingda came outside the study and stood at the window looking at the couple sitting close together reading in the room.
Zhang Yang looked at the Geographical Records. This book contains records of the customs, customs and geography of various places in the Central Plains.
Zhang Yang flipped through volumes and found some records about the geography outside the Pass, as well as some introductions to the customs outside the Pass. So far, he has not found any records about cotton.
Zhang Yang looked at his wife.
Li Yue whispered, "There is no record of cotton in Qi Min Yaoshu, but there is a record of soybeans."
After looking at the records above, there are only two or three short sentences, which are some records about Liu An, King of Huainan.
Zhang Yang asked, "Is there any thought on what came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Li Yue put down the book in his hand and picked up another book to read.
Kong Yingda, who was standing outside the window, was stunned and thinking, which came first, the chicken or the egg? ….
Of course the egg came first?
But Kong Yingda overturned this idea after thinking about it. If there were eggs first, then there would be no chickens to lay eggs.
This may be another question worth pondering.
When the couple walked out of the study, they saw Kong Yingda standing there, fighting between heaven and man.
"Old Master Kong, can we borrow some books and take them back to read." Li Yue bowed slightly and asked.
Seeing Kong Yingda standing silently.
Zhang Yang called out: "Old Master?"
After regaining consciousness, Kong Yingda stroked his beard and said, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, "I don't know."
"The books here can be borrowed by Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Consort." After saying this, Kong Yingda hesitated for a while and then said, "The question just now..."
Zhang Yang explained: "I just asked you casually, I hope I don't mind."
At this moment, Kong Yingda's mind kept flashing images of chickens and eggs, or chickens hatching eggs and chickens laying eggs.
When the two couples left here, Kong Yingda was still stunned.
Kong Yingda, the wine worshiper of the Imperial College, presided over the affairs of the entire Imperial College and was one of the most knowledgeable people in the Tang Dynasty.
The chicken and egg problem seems like a huge challenge.
This challenge made Kong Yingda feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. He wiped his sweat and came back to his senses. It was already cloudy.
Several thunders sounded in the sky, and the thunderstorm fell.
After Kong Yingda returned home, he studied the classics like crazy.
"Didn't any of our predecessors ask this question? There is no such solution!" Kong Yingda rarely lost his temper.
There was another thunder blast in the sky, and the thunder light illuminated Kong Yingda's almost crazy expression.
In addition to such a big problem, the news quickly reached Li Shimin's ears.
"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Li Shimin pondered as he listened to the eunuch's reply, "
Why do you ask? "
"According to rumors, the question was asked by the consort and Princess Runan who just went to the Imperial Academy today."
Holding his forehead in distress, Li Shimin naturally couldn't figure out which came first, the chicken or the egg.
There is no need to waste your mind on this kind of problem.
Li Shimin asked again: "How is Kong Yingda?"
The eunuch whispered back, "I was still a little crazy before, but news came an hour ago that Master Kong Yingda has calmed down a lot."
Looking at the rain outside the hall, Li Shimin felt a little anxious. He asked Li Chunfeng to teach him math before, but now Li Chunfeng is still a little crazy.
Yuan Tiangang is also still studying the issue of eggs.
"I regret a little." Li Shimin whispered.
The eunuch stood there with his head lowered, wondering why His Majesty was confused.
Li Shimin said worriedly, "Let the people from the Imperial Medical Office go and see Kong Yingda."
The eunuch bowed and replied, "Let's make arrangements now."
Changsun Wuji chose the book and asked Kong Yingda to give it to him?
Zhang Yang threw the book away and never wanted to read it again.
Li Yue was in a good mood after bringing a bunch of books from the Imperial College.
"How can a twenty-year-old be asked to go to the Imperial Academy to monitor classes, even my father." Li Yue complained and was dissatisfied.
"Your father wants me to shape me into what he wants." Zhang Yang patiently wound a cotton thread around the twister.
Li Yue picked up the scroll that was thrown on the ground and couldn't help frowning as she read the contents, "Father, do you hope that your husband will know better about being a courtier?"
"I think this is what your father means."
Li Yue smiled and said, "Father, I was wrong. How your husband wants to live cannot be changed by a book."
The person who understands herself is her wife.
There was a pile of books in the room. The little bear came over and sniffed them carefully, then turned his head away with a look of disgust.
It smelled the wine in the pot again, pushed a bowl to the edge of the pot with its little paws, pressed the mouth of the pot slightly, tilted it, and the wine flowed from the mouth of the pot into the bowl. It released its paws and shook the wine pot twice. Then it returned to normal, licking the wine in the bowl and closing its eyes in enjoyment.
This little bear has a spirit of cleverness and is so smart that he seems to be a spirit.
The wife likes wine, and the raised bear also likes wine.
It’s really the same strain. .
