"We cannot tolerate temples that commit crimes. Once they are discovered, they will be overthrown immediately, and all those involved will be sent to hard labor. This will make the evil forces afraid and make the people trust us. This is my original intention."
Changsun Wuji worried: "If the law is too strict, will it attract discussion and backlash?"
"What Zhao Guogong said is a big fallacy." Zhang Yang continued speaking calmly with his hands folded, "Strict laws were definitely not a good thing for the people in the past, but this kind of strict law is not aimed at the people, but at the temple. "
"It is to let all the people know that whether it is the court, local officials, or the Khan of Heaven, we will always stand on the side of the most ordinary people! Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country. Isn't this true?"
Li Shimin still nodded.
Zhang Yang added: "Giving the masses the right to investigate and investigate cases, and with the support of the masses, the court can always be in a proactive position."
"Datang still has a long way to go before it becomes prosperous and powerful." Zhang Yang saluted again, "Your Majesty, please be down-to-earth and work hard for national affairs and for the future."
Li Shimin was silent, but his blood was boiling with passion after being talked about by this kid.
Clearing his throat again, Zhang Yang spoke again: "Well, Your Majesty, you must be diligent and down-to-earth. Don't just come here to shoot arrows, and don't always ask others to evaluate your archery skills. This is not good and wrong."
Li Shimin stood up and said: "I am here to check the military situation."
Zhang Yang responded: "There are always many excuses."
"You!" Li Shimin hesitated, his words stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. How could this kid have the same virtue as Wei Zheng!
Then he calmed down and Li Shimin said loudly: "Mr. Zheng, my assistants, please return to the palace with me, summon everyone from Zhongshu Province to discuss this matter, and draw up the charter according to what this boy said."
"This is the right thing." Zhang Yang was very pleased.
Arriving in front of the leading guard again, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng boarded the carriage back to Chang'an.
Zhang Yang also wanted to get on the carriage, but saw that the carriage was already moving.
Stunned on the spot, Zhang Yang shouted again: "Your Majesty, I haven't gotten in the car yet! Take a ride home."
The carriage went further and further, going faster and faster, with no intention of stopping.
The scorching sun was still shining brightly, Zhang Yang kicked away the stones at his feet, "You are so petty to be an emperor! If you, Li Shimin, were more generous, would you die?"
Standing in front of the leading guard and shouting curses, Zhang Yang turned to look at the school grounds. Yu Chigong was already rectifying military discipline.
Asking them for a war horse seemed unrealistic.
You can't just borrow the war horses in the army.
Feeling conflicted in his heart, Zhang Yang stepped forward and asked the guard, "Can I borrow the next horse to go back to Chang'an?"
"You are the one who just advised His Majesty to improve military discipline."
"A man dares to take action!" Zhang Yang raised his head and chest, "It's me! What's wrong?"
"No borrowing!"
The other party dropped these words and closed the fence of the school yard.
What a bully!
Feeling depressed, Zhang Yang looked up at the scorching sun and then at his feet, "Just walk back! I will continue to impeach you in the future, just wait for me!"
The scenery in the distance was distorted under the scorching sun. Zhang Yang's footsteps became slower and slower, and he didn't know how he reached Chang'an City.
It took half an hour to walk to the school grounds, and another half an hour to get home.
Back home, Zhang Yang took off his boots and put on his straw sandals, washed himself, changed into clean clothes and lay down on the recliner, asking Xiao Wu to help tap his legs.
Li Yue poured a bowl of tea, put some chrysanthemums in the tea and a few slices of mint, "Husband, drink some to relieve the heat."
Enjoying his wife pressing his shoulders and Xiao Wu tapping his legs, Zhang Yang took another sip of tea and let out a sigh of relief, "Put some more salt in to add some salt."
Li Yue left with the tea bowl and brought a bowl of tea with some salt.
I raised my head and drank a bowl of tea, and then I felt that I had regained some strength and recovered a little.
In the evening, Zhang Yang felt that his symptoms were not right. He had vomiting and diarrhea, and then he realized that he had heat stroke.
Seeing her husband lying on the bed, Li Yue whispered, "How could my father do this and let my husband come back in such a hot day?"
"It's too difficult to be an upright minister." Zhang Yang sighed again, "Daughter-in-law, I don't want to do it anymore."
"How can a good Minister of Rites say that he won't do it or not do it? He will be punished."
Zhang Yang nodded, "My wife is right. It is not easy to resign when you are an official under your father."
Li Yue packed up her change of clothes and said, "I have asked Aunt Wang to send a message. I will not go to the morning court tomorrow."
Zhang Yang nodded weakly.
Xiao Wu came with a small spoon, "Teacher, spoon."
Watching Zhang Yang take off his coat and sit down, Li Yue looked at her husband's strong back and held a spoon in his hand, "Are you really going to do this?"
"Shave it."
Li Yue nodded and began to scrape carefully.
Feeling the strength, Zhang Yang said again: "You can use more force."
At night, Xiao Wu was writing a question.
The little bear lay at Xiao Wu's feet in a daze.
In the room, Li Yue looked at the red marks scratched out, feeling a little distressed, "Does it really not hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
After scraping for a while, the husband's back was covered with red marks.
Zhang Yang stood up again and put on his coat.
Seeing her husband's strong body, Li Yue's face turned slightly red before walking out of the room.
The next day, Zhang Yang did not go to court, but made a swing and a seesaw at home. His wife and Xiao Wu were having fun.
When he had nothing to do, Zhang Yang picked up a book and read it. He had finished reading all the books brought by Zuo Zangku. He would bring back some books next time.
There were many heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and this heroic spirit also created the martial culture of the Tang Dynasty.
There are few people who call themselves heroes, but there are many people who want to be heroes.
The knight-errant culture also began to rise from then on.
As the emperor, Li Shimin did not like this kind of knight-errant. He hoped to bring all the heroes in the world into the court to contribute to his country.
It is said that the Qin Dynasty made wedding clothes for Han Lai to wear, and the Tang Dynasty borrowed them from the Sui Dynasty for three hundred years.
How many people can explain this kind of dynastic entanglement clearly?
Aunt Yang came back in a hurry, "Your Highness the Princess, Order Lishan, Your Majesty and King Wei are here."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang almost fell off the recliner.
When Li Shimin walked into the house, he saw Li Tai following him.
Zhang Yang took Yue'er and Xiao Wu's family to salute, "Your Majesty, I didn't go to court today, so you wouldn't come to ask me for punishment."
"Initiate an investigation?" Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on the seesaw, "I heard that you suffered from heat stroke yesterday, so I came to ask how you were after coming to court. You are one of the few young leaders in the court, and I don't dare you have one. Three long and two short.”
You didn't dare to let me have any trouble. You left in front of the leading medical school in a cool way, which caused me to suffer from heatstroke when I came back.
Talking about fairness with the emperor is another stupid thing, let's not argue with him for now.
Li Shimin asked: "What is this thing used for?"
Zhang Yang explained: "This is a seesaw, used for recreation and fun."
"Oh? Really? I want to play too."
"Your Majesty, this is a child's play. Let's not forget that you are over thirty and you are a Khan..."
While talking, Zhang Yang stopped and didn't want to persuade him when he saw that Li Shimin had already sat on it.
"How to play with this thing?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yang sat down at the other end, and Li Shimin's end was raised.
After trying a few more times, Li Shimin found it boring again. He sat down and asked the eunuch standing outside the door to bring some tea, "This is the tea sent by Bingzhou. You can try it."
He opened the package and looked at the tea leaves inside. They had all been roasted. Zhang Yang even smelled it and said, "New tea? Very good."
】
After hearing this comment, the emperor finally had a smile on his face, and he said again: "You made a long speech in the school field, but what you said was light. The court was very busy because of your words. Zhao Guogong and the others returned yesterday. Chang'an City has not stopped, arranging people for this matter, and has not slept a wink all day and night."
Zhang Yang saluted towards the Tai Chi Hall, "Thank you for your hard work."
After sitting down again, Li Shimin waved to Li Tai, who was standing outside the door, to walk in, "I heard Cheng Qian talk about the papermaking matter. He summoned Qingque because of the papermaking matter, and listened to his opinion. Lishan still can't do it." Expand production?”
Zhang Yang poured him a bowl of tea and said, "Your Majesty, increasing production through technology is our original intention at Lishan, and it has also been our goal all along."
"If we had more people, we could build more."
Is this emperor waiting for Lishan to lay eggs?
You said that the papermaking industry is needed, so you can’t just push it.
Zhang Yang thought that it was necessary to educate the emperor about the relationship between technology and production.
"Your Majesty, the speed of one person's hands and feet is limited. Even if we increase the number of people, the cost will be huge."
Li Shimin added: "I heard that your two newly built factories in Lishan will be used for soap and cotton cloth?"
"That's natural. It's easier to produce soap and cotton cloth, and after several improvements, the production efficiency has improved a lot, so production can naturally be expanded."
Zhang Yang sat down and organized his conversation for a while, "The prince must have recorded everything about Lishan and presented it to His Majesty. If you come to ask, I will naturally be moved by the courtesy and virtue, but I am moved. The production cannot be increased blindly." costs to increase production.”
"Then what do you want?"
"Technology! Better technology is needed to increase productivity."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "When can I see the technology?"
"Your Majesty, technology research and development requires costs." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, it's a huge cost."
"How big?" Zhang Yang thought, "I don't know, development technology is like a bottomless pit. We need a lot of materials and related manpower. If the Ministry of Industry of North Korea can provide us with some experienced craftsmen, maybe It can speed up some time, and it can also allow our papermaking industry to get rid of manual work and be able to reach a higher level."
Li Shimin hesitated, took a sip of tea, thought for a moment and said, "How many people do you need?"
Zhang Yang replied: "It doesn't need to be many, but it must be top-notch people in all aspects, the best in cast iron."
"I will discuss this matter with Yan Liben after I go back. Even if I do this, can you tell me when I can see the results."
“The results may be far away, or they may be just around the corner, I can’t say.”
Li Shimin stood up and straightened his clothes, "I also want to tell you that your method has been recognized by many people in Zhongshu Province, and it will be announced to the world in two or three days."
"I congratulate Your Majesty and all the people in the world."
He glanced at the boy again, and said in a deep voice: "I still have to come to the morning court when I should. If I slack off today, I will slack off again tomorrow. How can I be so decent every day? I see that you are okay. I will continue to make the morning court on time tomorrow. If you If you have any strategies for governing the country in your mind, you can tell me. I am not an emperor who cannot listen to advice."
As he spoke, Li Shimin left.
As an emperor, you can listen to advice, but you are petty and vindictive!
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Zhang Yang looked at Li Tai again.
Li Tai seemed to have a guilty conscience. He took two steps back and said, "Brother-in-law, I said everything I should say, and I didn't say anything I shouldn't."
"What's going on with the Turks?"
Li Tai stood leaning against the wall and said, "I found out that a thousand hectares of land can last a thousand years."
"Is this a joke?"
"I asked repeatedly, it doesn't sound like a joke."
"It's really price-raising."
"That's true." Li Tai's shrewd eyes were thinking, "We can't let them set the price. The price is too high. The benefits that can be produced from a thousand hectares of Turkic grassland are not worth a thousand dollars a year." .”
Zhang Yang nodded matter-of-factly, "First tell them that one thousand hectares of land costs three hundred guan. If he raises the price again, tell them that the milk powder business will continue as usual and let them continue to pay heavy taxes."
Li Tai nodded, "Understand, this is asking them to make a choice. Even if they don't agree, there will be no loss for us."
Zhang Yang urged: "If you can talk, talk well and don't do anything casually. We are also people with martial ethics."
"I see."
In the next two days, Zhang Yang returned to his usual days. Except for Wei Zheng who admired him a little more, the days in the court were still the same as before.
No one knew that this strategy for dealing with the temple came from him.
Perhaps all these achievements will go to Li Shimin.
Someone came out to impeach again in the court. The official at the Yushitai impeached Wei Wang Li Tai, saying that Li Tai and the Turks took action and beat the Turks so severely that they could not get out of bed for several days.
After hearing the news, Zhang Yang felt no fluctuation in his heart. He had clearly told his brother-in-law not to take action.
As expected, people cannot be persuaded by others.
I'm just curious and I'm not surprised at all.
Li Tai was suspended from his monthly payment by the emperor and was grounded for half a month to reflect.
This punishment is neither heavy nor light. For Li Tai's current family background, the small amount of money given by the palace is just scratching the surface.
When he walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, Zhang Yang was worried. First of all, Wei Zheng's living environment was not very good, and he asked his wife to send some furniture, home-cooked salted duck eggs and home-made sausages to Wei Zheng's house.
The Wei Zheng family also accepted it.
There are still two children to grow up, so it is not good to live in a house with such poor conditions. The villagers in his village are richer than Wei Zheng's family.
Otherwise, let him move away from Chang'an City and live in Lishan Mountain. It would be great to have beautiful mountains and clear waters. He can also help him take care of the village's chores when he has nothing to do.
