Every time this guy dislikes something, he will push it away with his paws, and then look elegant, waiting for something else to be handed to him.
Until Li Yue returned to the room and closed the door, Little Bear shook his body and climbed onto the bed.
Zhang Yang glared at each other for a while, and then the bear slowly got out of bed, walked out of the room and returned to its own den.
There is something wrong with this bear that keeps crawling on people's beds all day long.
Shaking off the bear hair on his quilt, Zhang Yang picked up his homemade toothbrush, poured water into the bowl and brushed his teeth while looking up at the stars.
The cool night wind blew by, and the night was getting late.
I washed my face hastily and tidied up the drawings on my workbench before falling asleep.
It's best to be able to sleep until you wake up naturally. This is the advantage of being a small official. You don't have to get up early in the morning to prepare for court.
After having breakfast with my wife, the couple went to visit Queen Changsun together, and then happily went to the East Palace to work on errands.
I was in a good mood at first, but after arriving at the East Palace and listening to the conversation between Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian, my good mood was reduced by more than half.
After listening to Wei Zheng's story, Tian Khan had a long talk with Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and planned to compile the clan chronicle, with Gao Shilian as the leader, Cen Wenwen, the imperial censor Wei Ting and others to revise it. This is how the matter was raised. On the charter.
Among the gentry in the world, there are Jiangzuo gentry, Guanzhong, Daibei and other sects.
Li Shimin's lineage originally belonged to the Guanlong lineage.
If you want to say that Tian Khan has a good face, you can't just talk about the clan, but also want to attack the noble clan family.
Tian Khan said that compilation means compilation, so just compile it. This kind of thing can't be done well in a few years.
Just to break the old family system established over hundreds of years and re-adjust the balance of family status, there is huge resistance.
The first thing to bear the brunt was to pave the way for the imperial examination, and the imperial examination faced the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of the old system, which recommended famous people from each county to be Zhongzheng, and Zhongzheng examined whether local people could be admitted as scholars.
The key to reorganizing the gentry's annals is to break the previous standard of dividing family ranks by using county surnames as the basis for family distinctions.
Whether Li Shimin wanted more power or suppressed the gentry, these were all his means and purposes.
"Zhang Yang?"
Hearing Li Chengqian's call, Zhang Yang quickly returned to his senses and saluted. When he saw again, Wei Zheng was no longer here.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
"I was just wondering what to have for lunch today."
Li Chengqian smiled with relief, "I thought you had encountered some difficulty."
"Nothing has been difficult lately."
"Bring them all up!" Li Shimin ordered the guards in the East Palace.
Several huge tables were spread out on the ground. On these tables were written the population of Chang'an, the number of shops in Chang'an, the tax revenue of each city, and the number of houses.
This is the homework that the prince has done recently, and it is also the result of his learning.
"I made this picture after everyone checked it out."
Zhang Yang looked at it carefully and said, "His Royal Highness has gained a lot."
Li Chengqian said with emotion: "It took several days to make it."
While the two were talking, a guard came anxiously to report, "Your Highness, the Queen and Princess Runan are here."
Li Chengqian hurriedly walked outside the hall.
Li Yue supported Queen Changsun to the east palace.
Li Chengqian bowed and said, "My mother is about to give birth, why are you still moving around like this?"
Empress Changsun waved her hand and said: "Everyone in the Imperial Medical Office has said that you need to move around appropriately, and I feel bored just sitting there, so I want to walk around to relax."
Behind Queen Changsun there was a large group of palace maids, and their expressions were also very nervous.
Queen Changsun's eyes fell on several huge icons on the ground, "What are they doing?"
Li Chengqian explained: "This is a chart made by someone who inquired about the situation in Chang'an City. You can see at a glance the current situation of various streets, alleys and cities in Chang'an City."
Empress Changsun just looked at it and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Yang, a member of the East Palace, has done a good job. I have never seen you achieve such results before."
"Zhang Yang often supervises his subordinates, so they naturally dare not relax."
Queen Changsun nodded.
Li Yue asked in a low voice: "Then what is the use of this?"
"This..." This question stunned Li Chengqian. From the time he sent someone to inquire until now, he really has never thought about the use of this icon.
Seeing that Li Chengqian couldn't answer, he was probably just following the instructions without knowing the purpose.
Zhang Yang explained: "With this icon, we can know the current situation of Chang'an City, such as which city has more people, what kind of people go to which city, which streets and alleys are relatively quiet, we can know which Places need to be rectified, and places with large crowds need security.”
"And use this table as a comparison. Relocation of some poorly located shops to busy streets to boost business can increase taxes for Chang'an City. Also, where are most of the foreign businessmen gathered, the DPRK and the Central Government can concentrate Rectify.”
"This is basic information. When faced with some decisions, you can use these charts to make a more effective move."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun saw Li Chengqian's stunned expression and Yue'er and Zhang Yang's tacit smiles.
The wife asks and the husband answers.
This little thought made Empress Changsun feel warm in her heart. This couple really complemented each other.
"Your Highness, are you right?"
Li Chengqian suddenly came to his senses. He was still digesting these words just now. He collected his thoughts and replied: "Yes, it has such a use."
"Cheng Qian should ask for advice from others and learn from their strengths. Your father has always placed high hopes on you."
"My son, please remember this."
Queen Changsun sat for a while, then stood up and left.
Seeing Li Yue waiting outside the East Palace, Zhang Yang also saluted Li Chengqian, "That minister also took his leave."
Li Chengqian was still thinking about those words at that time, thinking about the real use of these icons, and just nodded.
"His Royal Highness, think about it carefully. These icons are far more useful than the ones I just mentioned."
"I will think about it carefully."
"Farewell."
Zhang Yang walked out of the East Palace and came to his wife.
Li Yue said playfully: "The prince's chart was taught by your husband?"
"Well, what do you think?"
“Without long-term planning, the real role of this kind of chart cannot be achieved.”
Zhang Yang held Li Yue's hand and said, "Both the Crown Prince and the King of Wei are working hard for the construction of Chang'an City. Your father's family is in harmony and contributing to the cause of the Tang Dynasty. What a good thing."
"My husband only taught the prince how to make charts, but not how to make plans. If the respected old gentlemen find out, they will say that my husband has misled his children."
Li Yue said playfully.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. If I tell the prince everything and ask him to do it all the time, he will have no opinion." Zhang Yang looked back at the East Palace and continued: "He lacks a thinking process. "
"I hope the emperor can also understand my husband's good intentions."
Xu Jingzong and Zhang Elephant stood at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites Office, watching Zhang Shilang and Her Royal Highness holding hands as they walked towards Chengtian Gate.
"I really envy Zhang Shilang's life." Zhang Xiangxiang said numbly, standing against the wall.
"If Brother Elephant had no intention of pursuing an official career, he could still live so comfortably." Xu Jingzong replied nonchalantly.
"Brother Xu, don't you have any intention of pursuing an official career?"
Xu Jingzong sat down in front of the government office, "Of course not. We must not be like Zhang Shilang. Men should be careful about the state."
Zhang Elephant nodded in agreement, and the two of them cast a look of contempt at Zhang Yang, almost calling him a scum among men.
As they walked out of the Suzaku Gate, Li Yue murmured in a low voice, "Today, people from the Imperial Medical Office came to diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse, and I asked her in a low voice."
"What did you ask?"
"I asked my mother if she was pregnant with a prince or a princess, and the answer was that she was a prince."
"Prince? Do you believe it?"
Li Yue frowned and said, "You said you can really tell whether it's a boy or a girl by diagnosing the pulse?"
"I don't know either." Zhang Yang was thoughtful, but his daughter-in-law can think about this kind of problem, and her logic of thinking is still very good.
Aunt Wang's silent guard followed beside them, listening to the whispers of the princess and the consort.
Passing by Zhuque Street, I bought some mutton in the East Market. Today is the day to divide the monthly accounts. It’s time to go to Qujiang Pool to divide the money.
If you buy mutton, you can barbecue it in Qujiangchi.
Compared to last year, June in Chang'an City was not so hot this year.
The breeze blew across the water of Qujiang Pond, making it sparkling.
As soon as they arrived at the Qujiang Pond, they saw Cheng Chumo fighting with a few powerful men. No one knew who was being beaten, but the attack was quite serious.
Until the other party was beaten into rags and ran away in embarrassment.
Cheng Chumo had a victorious smile on his face, his hair was pulled into a mess, and when he raised his head suddenly, the messy hair covered half of his face, and his wild laughter looked very much like Iori.
"Chu Mo is very skilled!" Li Tai cheered loudly.
When Cheng Chumo stroked his hair, he looked like a golden-haired lion king again under the sun.
The Tang Dynasty was a martial art, and this kind of fighting scene was very popular. There were girls from powerful families around who also enjoyed this scene.
In this kind of tough guy scene, women will not resist because of the roughness.
Things like fighting show the strength of men.
Cheng Chumo returned victorious and asked, "How is so-and-so's skill?"
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "I admire your fierce moves and free and easy boxing skills."
Cheng Chumo snorted coldly, "What kind of boxing technique? To fool a certain family, a certain family uses grappling."
"I just didn't read the whole thing, sorry."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly.
Seeing that the imperial sister took out the account book, Li Tai also took out his own account. He did not dare to be disobedient in the face of the imperial sister and his brother-in-law, and was extremely obedient.
"The accounts at home are all made by others, and I can't understand them." Cheng Chumo asked his subordinate to bring the account books.
Zhang Yang also sat down cross-legged and looked at the accounts quietly.
Cheng Chumo was half-lying with his legs crossed and leaning against the pillar of the waterside pavilion. "If I fight you, I might not be able to catch you."
"How can I not have such good skills as Brother Chumo? I'm joking." Zhang Yang replied perfunctorily.
"Don't think that I can't see it. You have a good physique and must be very strong."
"They were all trained as hard laborers in the past. In fact, I am just a scholar."
Cheng Chumo closed his eyes and shook his legs contentedly, "I don't know what happened recently. Chang'an City is not peaceful."
Li Tai looked at the accounts and said, "It's quite peaceful. Why is it not so peaceful?"
"Haven't you heard? Rumors have been circulating in Chang'an City recently, saying that someone has dug up the secret affairs of many powerful people. A few days ago, someone even said that Tang Jian took a concubine."
"Cough cough cough..." Li Tai suddenly coughed violently.
"Some people say that my old Cheng's cattle often disappear in the middle of the night..."
