The entire village belongs to my daughter-in-law, but if I want to truly be the master of a place, I need to be convinced by more people.
It’s best to start with the child. Let her try it. It won’t hurt her to learn more methods. Anyway, what the daughter-in-law does is not a bad thing.
The aunts in the village are always very enthusiastic when doing things, what a simple folk custom.
All the cotton was left to dry in the sun. Li Xiaogong's people were rough and had a lot of problems on the way to deliver it. Some of the cotton was already damp, and some of the cotton was clumped. They picked out baskets of unusable cotton, which made people feel uncomfortable. It hurts to watch.
It needs to be dried for a period of time, and the cotton needs to be played after washing. It is not difficult to play the cotton by hand, but it is also very tiring. The memory of my childhood has always been engraved in my heart, which is the wisdom of working people.
The sunshine is very good today. The aunts sat together picking cotton. Zhang Yang patiently taught them how to distinguish the quality of cotton.
The aunts always had smiles on their faces. They were chatting and picking cotton quickly with their hands and feet.
Zhang Yang spread out a basket of good cotton to dry in the sun.
Fortunately, it's a slack time for farming, otherwise there wouldn't be enough manpower.
Li Chengqian was ill for a few days, and Sun Simiao stayed in the East Palace for a few days. Fortunately, his condition improved again, and the old miracle doctor finally returned to the village.
Li Xiaogong frowned and said: "This miracle doctor Sun is indeed a treasure. If this old man is not in the village for one day, you will run to the village every day. When you come every day, you will ask if the miracle doctor Sun is back. You are afraid that the palace will detain the miracle doctor." "
Zhang Yang smiled shamefully, "My doctor Sun and I learn from each other and make progress together."
Li Xiaogong smiled lightly, "Someone from the army sent a letter asking me about the golden sore medicine. It depends on whether you want to sell the secret recipe of the golden sore medicine."
"I don't plan to sell it for the time being. I can sell medicine but I don't sell secret recipes."
"Are you concerned?"
"Soldiers will be injured on the battlefield. Sometimes if there is medicine that can be treated early, it can save a life. If someone sits on the ground and raises the price, it will force people to death."
Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "Treating wounded soldiers is a very troublesome matter. Some people who could have been cured just because of procrastination have lost their lives."
“What if there was an extra medical team in the military?”
"Medical team? A team composed of doctors?"
"That's right. In this way, the soldiers working hard on the front line can fight with peace of mind, and they can also receive timely medical treatment after being injured. A hundred thousand soldiers and horses require at least a thousand-strong medical team."
Li Xiaogong sighed: "Your idea is good, but where can you find so many doctors? How many doctors are willing to go to the battlefield? Young people always have so many unrealistic ideas. It's okay to talk to me, but don't That’s what people say outside.”
"I think it should be spoken out and changes should be made."
"Change?" Li Xiaogong smiled sarcastically, "There are six hundred and thirty-four guard offices in various provinces, prefectures, and counties in the world. Even Chang'an City has sixteen guard offices. From the general to the general, the military commander, Qi Cao, there are a large number of people pulled up and down, and the standing guard soldiers alone are worth less than 200,000 in Chang'an City! How can a little prince-in-law stand up and say that he wants to change? "
After saying that, Li Xiaogong took a breath and looked at Zhang Yang with his hands on his hips, "I don't want to understand. They say Cheng Yaojin speaks without thinking. That's his bastard! Then what the hell are you doing?" of?"
Zhang Yang touched his nose in confusion, "I just said it casually."
The village is very busy, and there seems to be endless things to do.
Li Xiaogong tossed and turned during the night, but Li Yuan slept soundly, snoring like thunder.
How many soldiers died in the battle that year, those scenes lingering in my mind, it is really good to have a medical team.
This guy just said some ideas, but this idea turned out to be pretty good.
It doesn't take a few words to change.
After thinking about it, he couldn't sleep anyway, so Li Xiaogong simply got up, lit the oil lamp, spread out the paper, and wrote down what happened to the medical team.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Li Shimin got up and prepared to go to court.
The young eunuch came with a memorial, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Prince of Hejian County."
Li Shimin was wearing clothes, "If you don't go back to Chang'an, you still handed me the memorial?"
Taking the memorial, Li Shimin opened it and looked at the contents. He couldn't help but frown, "Medical team?"
After watching it for a long time, Li Shimin looked solemn and said, "After the morning court, submit this memorial to the Ministry of War and let them discuss it themselves."
"Here."
I was always happy when I was sharing money. Meat was being grilled by the Qujiang Pond, and Li Yue was sitting aside fishing.
Cheng Chumo and Li Tai looked at the ledger, "This business is really getting worse and worse. We only have a profit of 300 yuan this month."
Cheng Chumo said sadly: "There are only one hundred strings here."
Picking up a bunch of grilled sausages, Li Tai took a bite and said, "The brown sugar milk tea business has indeed improved a lot, but the soap business is really not what it used to be."
Zhang Yang collected his money, which amounted to more than 600 coins.
"Chu Mo, how was the situation in Luoyang before?" Li Tai asked in a low voice.
"Several scammers who fled to Luoyang have been captured and handed over to the government, but the money may not be returned." Cheng Chumo said as he picked up the wine jar and took a sip, "We have caught the bad guys. These government officials It’s really outrageous to do this.”
After drinking, and not sure if it was because of the alcohol, Cheng Chumo blushed, "If the government had taken care of it earlier, and caught it earlier! How could there be so many things, if a certain man hadn't asked the brothers to chase him all the way to Luoyang to arrest him. Come on, they've already run away."
Li Tai nodded and said: "It is said that he was defrauded of thousands of dollars. They are all wealthy households in Chang'an City. Ordinary people cannot afford so much money."
It's a good thing to hate evil like enemies. Cheng Chumo has hundreds of people under his command. These hundreds of people sell milk tea and braised pork on weekdays, and still listen to Shangguan Yi's lectures every day.
Education level is very important, and you can't just fight and kill all day long.
Li Yue caught a fish and then released the fish.
She was also holding a scroll in her hand. She was fishing just by the way, and her mind was entirely on the scroll. She was still taking notes while reading. Recently, she was studying the management methods of the village.
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Yang looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "Brother Chumo, it is a good thing to punish evil and promote good."
"Of course it's a good thing."
"Those hands are all yours. It's hard for me to say anything or interfere too much."
Cheng Chumo was eating mutton in his mouth, "My people are all focused on your business. Besides, Mr. Cheng really treats you as a brother."
Zhang Yang took out a bowl and poured him a drink, "We are a cooperative relationship, regardless of big or small, don't say anything about my business, brother Chu Mo helps me distribute milk tea and braised pork, brother Chu Mo earns I’ve made money, and I’ve made money.”
Li Tai smiled naively, "I also made money."
Li Yue was distracted and listened to the conversation between the three of them. Her husband provided the goods, that is, he controlled the production, Qingque controlled the central dispatch, and General Cheng was the one who went downstream to sell.
The three people's division of labor made it clear that this is how a business that generates hundreds of pounds a month is formed.
Li Yue nodded slightly and continued to record.
Seeing Cheng Chumo pick up the wine bowl and take a sip, Zhang Yang smiled calmly and said, "Chu Mo, I am very happy that you can do justice. We must be good people, and you must lead your brothers to be good people."
Cheng Chu nodded silently, "That's natural."
Zhang Yang advised in a low voice: "You should be low-key when doing things, and you don't have to sacrifice your life to do good deeds. Even if Brother Chu Mo catches the bad guys, you can't arrogantly say that the government is useless. The government has its own functions. If you are too ostentatious, it will easily endanger yourself." Cause trouble."
Cheng Chumo also lowered his voice, "You mean to tell us to be careful and tie the person to the gate of the government and leave without leaving a name or taking any credit."
"That's right." Zhang Yang touched his wine bowl and said, "Lower your presence as much as possible."
Cheng Chumo nodded like he was making trouble, "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
Things are done in a hurry, and Cheng Chumo goes to do things when he is told.
Li Tai chewed bacon and said, "Chu Mo is not careful enough in his work."
The scenery of Qujiang Pool is very good. There is a wide lake in front of the water pavilion. The lake water is very clean, the water pavilion is reflected on the water, and there are no other pedestrians around.
Zhang Yang put away the account book and said, "Do you think my advice will save the general a lot of worry? Will the general thank me?"
Li Tai shook his head and said: "General Cheng Yaojin may not care about it now. Now my father is preparing to award rewards. It is said that several ministers will be rewarded. Since Zhao Guogong Fang Xuanling and others came to power, the entire court has been In the hands of the father, it was time to make a big splash. This was also the reason why the father wanted to support Gao Shilian while lowering Gao Shilian's power. For the sake of the remaining few places as Dukes, General Cheng Yaojin was thinking about this. above."
"Duke?"
"There has been a lot of turmoil in Chang'an City recently, and everyone is rushing to show their courtesy to the father and show their loyalty, especially the generals who want to lead their troops to go out, saying that they want to capture the Tubo and the Turks. "
Li Tai paused for a moment, "Especially Chu Mo, his old guy, General Cheng Yaojin threatened to take down Tubo with 300 troops."
Zhang Yang almost spit out his drink.
"I also think this is unrealistic. Can three hundred soldiers and horses really defeat Tibet? It must be at least three thousand."
Zhang Yang kept coughing, "Isn't His Highness the King of Wei compiling Kuo Di Zhi recently?"
Li Tai picked up another sausage and chewed it, "Yes."
"Does His Highness the King of Wei know how big Tubo is?"
"I don't know." Li Tai scratched his head, "After leaving the matter to Cen Wenwen, I rarely interfere."
"Rarely do you ask?"
Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "You don't have to trust the people you employ."
The compilation of geographical records was for learning, and Li Tai also acted as a storekeeper. When asked how old Tubo was, he couldn't answer it at all. It was true that the key points had been laid out for him, and he didn't have to study hard.
"I think this so-called title of meritorious minister is just for your father to consolidate his power and military power. The emperor is really not well-intentioned."
Seeing Li Tai looking at him and stopping talking, Zhang Yang asked in confusion: "Your Highness, King Wei, why do you keep looking at me?"
"It's terrible." Li Tai shook his head and stood up, turned around and walked further and further away, muttering, "It's terrible, it's terrible."
Children can also see the world of adults.
Li Yue held a scroll and said, "Husband, do you think the way of managing the village should be the same as that of the imperial court?"
"The way of the DPRK may not be suitable for us." Zhang Yang put his arm around Li Yue's shoulders and whispered, "Good management will produce several good benefits. The first is fairness. Fairness is the only aspect of DPRK's management. The method just doesn’t suit us.”
My husband loves to be clean, and he doesn’t smell at all. “What should that look like?”
"In short, we must give everyone a channel for advancement, be fair, and have competition, so that our village can be dynamic. In some places, the owner has the final say, and there are many "big pot" management methods. The disadvantages are: first of all, we must not rely on nepotism, and we must avoid cliques. Whenever you are in your position, you must do your job well.”
Li Yue raised her head and looked at Zhang Yang's face, "In a village with a population of about a hundred people, it seems like the husband is going to do something big."
His wife's little hands were always cold, so Zhang Yang sighed in frustration: "We must lay a good foundation first."
The couple sat quietly next to each other by the waterside pavilion and looked at the scenery. The relationship between husband and wife should be carefully maintained.
It was originally a time for the young couple to have fun with each other, but at this moment, a person who disturbed the scenery appeared.
Seeing Xu Jingzong coming, Li Yue returned to her previous position.
He really wanted to hold his wife for a little longer, and looked helplessly at Xu Jingzong. With his current intelligence capabilities, it was not difficult to find him alone in Chang'an City. Zhang Yang sighed in frustration.
Xu Jingzong took out a parchment and said, "This is the letter someone brought to Adalan in Gaochang."
Zhang Yang took the letter and looked at the contents. Adalan's Chinese calligraphy was very poor and he could barely understand the meaning.
With the money given to him for the first time as starting capital, he now has more than 3,000 slaves in his hands.
This is the result of his buying and selling. In less than half a year, he has reached such a scale, which is indeed very good.
Gaochang has a total population of 30,000 people. It also describes the situation of King Gaochang's garrison and even several of King Gaochang's wives and concubines.
The records of Gaochang recorded by the imperial court were from many years ago, and most of the records were from the Sui Dynasty.
It was not enough to overthrow the slaves in Gaochang Adalan's hands.
Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said, "Do you want to send him some money?"
After reading this sheepskin roll, Zhang Yang threw it into the barbecue fire, picked up a bunch of grilled sausages and handed it to him, "You haven't eaten it yet."
"Thank you." Xu Jingzong took the grilled sausage and took a mouthful of oil. "Yeah, it's delicious."
Another gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhang Yang put his hands into his sleeves, "The wind is really strong this year."
Xu Jingzong pondered, "This year's windy season is indeed abnormal. I heard that it's not going well in Longxi."
Zhang Yang stood lazily leaning against the pillar, "Now Adalan didn't say he was short of money. Things have to be done step by step. It's not ideal to do it all in one step. Let him run the business first and let Adalan's family write a reply to him. Just treat it like this." Give him peace of mind."
Xu Jingzong nodded understandingly, "This is a good method. It seems that Mr. Zhang still knows how to employ people."
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to threaten you."
