Xu Xiaode secretly muttered to himself, packed his baggage, sorted out some of the soft goods he had brought, and cleaned the house again.
In the evening, Shangguan Yi asked the villagers to come with baggage and daily necessities.
The Sanliang villagers were very enthusiastic and helped Xu Xiaode arrange furniture and even brought new bedding.
Xu Xiaode was about to step forward and say that there is no need to go to such trouble, but Shangguan Yi stopped him and whispered: "Xu Yushi doesn't know something, because he is a person left by the county marquis, and everyone in the village will treat him well."
"Yes...really?" Xu Xiaode hesitated.
"The original warrior Xun and Mr. Ouyang Xun are the same, as well as the Hejian County Prince, and the villagers will treat him kindly."
Youdao cannot resist the enthusiasm of the villagers, and this kind of kindness is the hardest to refuse.
Furthermore, Xu Xiaode had heard about the affairs of the warriors Xun and Ouyang Xun in Lishan. As a censor, he had to verify the rumors. Mr. Ouyang Xun taught in the village and taught children how to write.
In addition to giving lectures to the children in the village, the warrior Yu also takes care of many chores here.
They are all doing things for Lishan.
But he was here to monitor Lishan. When Xu Xiaode thought that he had been misunderstood by the villagers, he felt very sorry. If the county magistrate wanted to covet some drinks and concealed the report, he could not bear his conscience, and he would feel ashamed to report it to him. to these villagers.
Following Mr. Zheng in doing things, Xu Xiaode felt that he had always adhered to his true intentions.
After sending these villagers away, Shangguanyi introduced the rules of the village.
"In the village, people generally work until evening, and manpower is mobilized as needed. After summer, there is not much demand for soap, and there is still stock, so most of the manpower can be allocated to do other things, and the busy farming schedule can be arranged first."
Xu Xiaode followed Shangguan Yi as he walked in the village.
"Production has always been centralized in the village, and money and food are distributed among each family. Lishan's rules also include a technical layer, and specialized personnel are required to study and improve technology, but they do not work most of the time. "
"So you can get wages and food without working?"
Shangguan Yi is wearing a patched coarse cloth, but his eyes are full of pride. This village is the result of the construction of the past five years.
"Xu Yushi thought wrong. The people responsible for technical construction in the village are not directly involved in the work. However, if there is a technological breakthrough, the production level of the village can be raised to a higher level, which will also be a huge gain."
Shangguan Yi took him all the way in the village, "Just like the cotton knitting technology, after the original cotton knitting technology is improved, our cotton production can reach a higher level."
"Everyone can get cotton, but without Lishan's technology, it is useless to get cotton." Shangguan Yi smiled, "This is the foundation of Lishan, Lishan's cotton spinning and fabrics The technologies are all unique, and outsiders can easily understand them."
While listening to Shangguan Yi's story, Xu Xiaode continued to look at the village. In the evening, the villagers also returned to the village.
This kind of scene was not seen in Chang'an City in the past. It was the laughter and laughter of every household after a day's work.
Children passed by playfully.
Xu Xiaode smiled and said: "Now I finally understand why the Supreme Emperor and Mr. Ouyang Xun like Lishan."
"Why?"
Xu Xiaode added: "You can't hear this kind of laughter and laughter in Chang'an City, and there is no such scene. Although there are thousands of households in the markets on both sides of Zhuque Street, under the towering city walls and in the crowded streets, this kind of exciting The peaceful scene in my heart has been blocked.”
"Maybe that's the case." Shangguan Yi stopped, "Lishan has no towering city walls, and there are no officers and soldiers. After the world was at peace, many villages and counties in the Central Plains were like this, but Lishan is more peaceful."
Xu Xiaode did not deny Shangguan Yi's thoughts, but he wanted to attribute the peace of this place to the county prince and the princess.
He lowered his head and looked ashamed, and said with a bitter smile: "But where there is land, there is also a county magistrate. If the fiefdoms are all under the jurisdiction of powerful people, there are rarely things like Lishan. Princess Runan and the magistrates built it to benefit one party. The fiefdoms are But the princes and powerful people make a living by extorting money from the local villagers.”
"If you take too much, life will be difficult for the villagers, but if you take too little, the rich and powerful won't."
Xu Xiaode couldn't help but nod, "In the past, Lishan Village was a small, rundown village, impoverished. The county prince and Princess Runan built a fiefdom, but it was not like the villagers taking every single thing, um..."
After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "It's very interesting. The official has already thought of the way to make the Tang Dynasty powerful..."
When the words came to his lips, Xu Xiaode swallowed them again. He knew that it was difficult, how could a small official give advice to the clan, princes, and even those powerful people.
At night, Xu Xiaode returned to his residence alone. He wrote down what was in his mind. After writing a memorial, he had to read it several times to avoid His Majesty misunderstanding what he meant.
Even though this matter would probably not come to fruition, or even His Majesty would just take a glance at it and throw it aside, Xu Xiaode still felt that he should write it down and give it to His Majesty.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang often had to approve the memorials sent to the Zhongshu Province by various ministries in the DPRK.
Although I am in Lishan, I still have to deal with government affairs.
Therefore, Li Tai arranged for his bodyguards to help his brother-in-law deliver the memorial to Chang'an City.
Xu Xiaode came to the residence of Prince Wei. The residence of Prince Wei in the village was not big. It was far away from the village, but it was the closest village entrance.
Li Xiaogong was playing chess with Li Tai when he saw the opponent's general jumping out of the area and eating his own pawn.
Li Tai shouted, "Uncle Wang! Why can your general leave the Nine Palaces!"
Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "As a general, I always take the lead in the battle. There is no reason to hide in the rear."
"This is the chess game and this is the general!" Li Tai emphasized again, indignant at Uncle Wang's unruly behavior.
"Fart!" Li Xiaogong spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "You are going to be outside, and your life will be violated, so why should you abide by the rules?"
"This is a game! This is not a war!"
"The chessboard is like a battle!" Li Xiaogong said solemnly with a straight face, "This is not a child's play!"
Facing Uncle Wang's cheating, Li Tai could only scratch his head in pain, grit his teeth and endure it while looking at the chessboard, and pushed his horse forward.
I saw Li Xiaogong holding his shogi in his hand and skipping the Chu River, eating his own body.
Li Tai's eyes widened, "This..."
Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "As a general, when the situation is overwhelming, how can little Chuhe be afraid and not move forward?"
After hearing this, there was silence for a long time.
Finally, Li Tai lifted the chessboard and said, "No more playing!"
Li Xiaogong was still unsatisfied. He felt that this was how I should play chess.
Seeing Xu Xiaode standing aside, watching the argument from the beginning of the chess game, Li Tai picked up the chess piece again in disappointment, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Xiaode took out a memorial and said, "I heard that people from His Highness the King of Wei often help the county princes to submit memorials to the court."
Li Tai put the chess pieces made of jade into the wooden box. This was made by his mother and given to him as a reward. He was heartbroken if one was missing.
He put the chess pieces away and glanced at the memorial in his hand, "Give it to my king's guards. They happen to be helping my brother-in-law deliver the memorial today, so just drop it off on the way."
First, he bowed respectfully, and then Xu Xiaode handed the memorial in his hand to the guard on the side, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Wei."
Li Tai took two boxes of chess pieces and the chessboard and left.
Li Xiaogong strode to chat with the villagers.
Only Xu Xiaode was still standing there. The memorial he was looking at was put together with the memorial approved by the county marquis. The guards put it in a bag and rode on horseback to Chang'an City.
In the following days, he would wait at the entrance of the village every noon. Whenever a guard would deliver a memorial from Chang'an City to the county marquis, he would always ask if he had read the memorial.
Things were just as Xu Xiaode expected. When the memorial was sent to the court, it was like a stone sinking into the sea without any echo. There was not even a little discussion in the court.
This was a scene that he had expected in his heart, but he felt somewhat bitter after getting this result. With a discouraged sigh, he came to the other end of the village.
From grain fermentation to now, he finally started to make wine officially. He came to the winery on the other side of the village, where many villagers were busy.
These villagers were able to work in factories and now make wine.
Inexplicably, it makes people think these people are powerful.
When he took a closer look, he discovered the secret. The villagers all worked together in a division of labor. One person was only responsible for a small part of the steps. Everyone only needed to master one of the processes. He could master it quickly and his hands and feet were very nimble.
Xu Xiaode gained a lot from Lishan. He recorded everything about Lishan. When Shangguanyi was wandering around, he also visited many places, from Yangzhou to Chang'an City. His knowledge and experience were naturally very high.
In his words, Lishan's production model is different from many places in the Central Plains. The most intuitive effect of this production model is its high efficiency.
Xu Xiaode sat in front of the brewery and kept recording. When he saw that Shangguan Yi ordered people to place them separately, he asked curiously: "What is this?"
"These are Touguo wine. You can't drink this kind of wine. The county prince told you that it can be used for other purposes." Shangguan Yi explained: "I didn't say what it would be used for. Let's store it separately first."
Xu Xiaode lowered his head and continued recording.
On Lishan Mountain, today, when the children returned to the palace, Li Zhi was still reluctant to leave. He hugged his brother-in-law's legs and said aggrievedly: "I don't want to go back to the palace. The palace is very dull and boring."
Zhang Yang patiently said to him: "You can always come to Lishan from now on. If His Highness King Jin feels uncomfortable in the palace and wants to come to Lishan, just come directly. If your father doesn't allow it, I will go to the palace to scold him." , don’t be afraid of the palace, my brother-in-law will help you if you are wronged.”
"Well, if father and brother-in-law quarrel again, we will help brother-in-law." Dongyang said firmly from the side.
Li Zhi slowly raised his head and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will be sensible."
Looking at his appearance, Zhang Yang felt in his heart that Tian Khan should also be more careful in raising his son. Evil Khan, look at how sensible and innocent your son is.
God is blind to allow you to have such a sensible child.
Watching the children put on the new clothes made by the imperial sister, the clothes made of cotton are very warm. They came out of the house one by one wearing beautiful new clothes. Their smiles brought vitality to this autumn.
The aunt reported: "To the Marquis of the County and to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the people in the palace have arranged the carriage and it is at the bottom of the mountain."
The children stood in a row from tallest to shortest, and Zhang Yang smiled while waving the cattail leaf fan in his hand.
The children were also infected by the smile and laughed.
"Count!"
Zhang Yang shouted loudly, and the children stood up straight and counted from one to eleven.
This kind of thing happens every day, but today the children's counting voices are particularly loud.
"I want to come to Lishan happily and return to Chang'an happily. Do you understand?"
"Here!"
The children responded in unison.
The young voices echoed by the Huaqing Pool, and these children had strong vitality in their eyes.
Zhang Yang took the lead and walked down the mountain with the children.
Li Yue walked behind and talked to Li Lizhi about her instructions to her younger brothers and sisters.
At the foot of Mount Li, the prince saluted and said: "Marquis of the County, your majesty has ordered the old slave to take the children back."
Zhang Yang put his hands behind his hands and said, "Eunuch Wang, your complexion has improved a lot recently."
"Really?" There was a smile on his old face, "The people in the palace have been doing well recently. Your Majesty asked the old slave to take more rest."
The children got into the car one after another. Zhang Yang frowned and lowered his voice, "Is the prince really not planning to come to Lishan?"
The prince bowed and saluted Chang'an, "I will serve your majesty for the rest of my life."
Zhang Yang put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty is loyal, and I don't like to force others to do anything. I just treat him as a friend."
Seeing that the prince and princesses were on the horse rack, he added, "I will take the children back now."
"Prince, please walk slowly."
Despite being rejected by him several times, Zhang Yang still responded with a smile.
On the contrary, the prince looked embarrassed and had to smile apologetically and drove the car away from Lishan.
The couple returned to the mountain again, and the Huaqing Pool in front of them seemed empty. When the children were here, they were everywhere.
Now that they are gone, their new home feels empty again.
The little bear held his daughter's lapel in his mouth and placed her under the eaves. It was probably because she wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Xiao Qingqing looked unconvinced, "Mom! Why is it always like this?"
The daughter pointed at the little bear. To her, this bear and the other five cubs have become a family, and she sometimes sleeps with these cubs.
Whenever my aunt couldn't find her, she would be where the bear was.
Li Yue said to her daughter: "This bear used to be a little kid, and it was raised in a small home in Chang'an City. It was still winter, and it liked warmth. It always liked to crawl into the kitchen when cooking, and it was burned by the fire at that time. It’s just a piece of hair, and it still thinks it’s a dangerous place, so it won’t let you go.”
Xiao Qingqing huddled in her mother's arms and whispered: "You can't always stop me."
Li Yue smiled and said: "It is protecting you."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingqing glared at the little bear. The bear was lying on its side leaning against the wall as if nothing had happened, scratching its belly gracefully with its paws, and yawning with great enjoyment.
Aunt Wang made a shawl out of bear hair and gave it to Xiao Qingqing to try on. "Yes, the size is perfect."
"I don't want this." Xiao Qingqing shied away, "Otherwise it will think I'm a bear too."
