Li Yue listened to her daughter's words and smiled again, "It also treats you as its own child."
Xiao Qingqing pursed her lips, fearing that her mother would not want her and would follow the bear.
The prince and his father-in-law led the chariot and escort team all the way into the palace from Xuanwu Gate.
Passing through the Xuanwu Gate and entering the palace, the children went straight towards the Li Zheng Palace.
Princess Changle walked neatly with the young princes and princesses. The prince realized that he had nothing to do, so he asked the guards and maids to retreat.
He sat alone by the palace wall of Xuanwu Gate, resting his feet and enjoying the warmth of the autumn day.
Among the eunuchs in the palace, Wang Gonggong is the oldest and the most able to convince people. He has won the trust of His Majesty.
In the eyes of other eunuchs and maids, people like Wang Gonggong would have to guard the imperial mausoleum sooner or later. They said they would be buried with him in the imperial mausoleum, and they would also serve the emperor after his death.
Not to mention going to Lishan Mountain, everyone knew very well that after the prince died of old age, he would be sent to the imperial mausoleum and buried first.
There was a lot of gossip in the palace, and many maids and eunuchs knew that Zhang Yang had been recruiting the prince.
I hope he can go to Lishan to retire.
Li Lizhi brought her younger brothers and sisters to the Zhengzheng Hall. Queen Changsun looked at the children wearing new clothes with a smile on her face.
Especially Li Zhi, after three months in Lishan, he gained a lot of weight.
"It's true that Yue'er just brought the things she sent. I also made them all new clothes."
Li Lizhi was also wearing new clothes made by the emperor's sister. She explained: "Actually, the emperor's sister started preparing it a long time ago. It's just that now that it happened to be made, it was given to the younger brothers and sisters."
You can feel Yue'er's care for these children.
Queen Changsun looked at the children playing in the palace and asked, "Yue'er also gave you many instructions."
"Yes." Li Lizhi nodded and said: "Sister Huang knew that Confucius Kong Yingda had many prejudices against the Lishan school of thought, so she asked her daughter to go see Master Kong and explain clearly the Lishan school's attitude, in order to avoid too many misunderstandings in the future. "
Queen Changsun thought about it, this was indeed Yue'er's style.
Unlike Zhang Yang's decision, he doesn't care at all about the reputation of the Lishan School in the outside world.
On the contrary, Yue'er is very concerned about this and will take precautions.
Even if Lishan's school of thought will encounter a lot of criticism in the future, it is right to appease old Master Kong Yingda first.
"One more thing." Li Lizhi took out a small clay pot, "These are the plums sent by Xiao Huirang. These are the food from her hometown. Lishan has too many to eat, so I asked my daughter to bring them."
Empress Changsun accepted the small clay pot and said, "Yueer is interested."
In the past two years, no princess has gotten married in the palace. In the early years of Zhenguan, there was a princess who got married.
After these princesses marry their consorts, they rarely send these to the palace.
Even if the gifts come, they are all gold, silver and jade. When they come, they just ask a few questions. As a queen, she wants to care but has no way to express her concern.
Only Yue'er and her husband will always remember their brothers and sisters.
As a result, the pressure in the palace was reduced a lot.
Things that happen in the palace cannot be concealed, and any disturbance in the palace will arouse discussion among the meddlesome people in the clan.
Since the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan had married many daughters.
And these consorts and princesses were about to be swept to death by the Lishan family.
We are all princesses and princes-in-law, but Lishan’s family is rich, with mountains of money and a large business.
As for the other princesses and consorts, they still have no worries about food and drink, and even the expensive things are rewarded by His Majesty.
Not to mention bringing things to the palace.
In comparison, the gap between everyone is huge.
In fact, long before Zhang Yang became rich and had such a big family business in Lishan, he had already begun to take care of his younger brothers and sisters in the palace, whether it was salted duck eggs, rice, or newly harvested wheat.
As long as the family has an extra copy, it will be sent to the palace.
In addition, King Li Tai of Wei also always respected his father, the emperor and his mother. It is known that this King of Wei had been following Zhang Yang since he was a child.
When other people hang out together, they either cause trouble or they end up in a drinking pool and a meat forest.
But people's messing around was different. The more the King of Wei followed Zhang Yang, the richer he became. There were even rumors that Lishan was already as rich as anyone in the country.
The king of Wei must also be very wealthy.
The princess who gets married is still a member of the prince's clan, or she is Li Shimin's cousin.
In terms of gaining His Majesty's trust and the Queen's care, even if all the married princesses and members of the clan joined forces, they would not be able to defeat the Lishan family.
Just because Zhang Yang is in charge of the expenses of the court, the clan members can still go to Zongzheng Temple every year to collect money and spend it, but that depends on the expression of Zhang Yang, who is also the Prince Consort and Prince Consort.
Moreover, he is still the Minister of Rites.
In this way, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, what have the three parties, the prince consort, the princess, and the clan, tried to do with Lishan?
The wind in Chang'an City cannot move Lishan Mountain.
After Zhang Yang left Chang'an City and moved into his new home, he never came to Chang'an City again after the imperial meeting at the beginning of the year.
His Majesty did not pursue it too much.
That's enough to show his trust.
It is said that His Majesty often got angry with Zhang Yang over the money expenses. I don’t know what His Majesty thought. In the end, it was the Khan of Heaven who loved talented people that kept Zhang Yang alive until now.
At this moment, in the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was looking at the memorials sent by Xu Xiaode from Lishan. This man sent many memorials, including many records of the management strategies of Lishan.
Li Shimin glanced at the prince who came back in a hurry, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, then lowered his head and continued to read the memorial.
"Your Majesty, the princess and princes have been delivered and are now at the Li Zheng Palace."
Li Shimin nodded slowly without speaking.
The prince bowed and said: "Princess Runan gave the princess and the princes new clothes. The queen is very satisfied with this."
After the report was finished, seeing that His Majesty was still looking at the memorial attentively, the prince stood aside quietly.
It's autumn. In addition to checking on the wine brewing situation every day, Zhang Yang also continues to build his own greenhouse.
When we arrived at the blacksmith's workshop in the village, there were a lot of hematite and coal piled up behind the blacksmith's workshop, like a hill.
They exchanged resources with North Korea and China on a one-for-ten basis. This summer, North Korea and China sent a lot of hematite.
Of course, the emperor still did not relax his surveillance of Lishan.
Even if they take a long detour, the guards of King Wei will pass by here to see what is being built in the blacksmith workshop recently, for fear that Lishan will build weapons and rebel.
In fact, Li Shimin didn't need to worry about this at all, because there were less than 100 households in Lishan, and there were only 200 people. What kind of trouble could such a small number of people create.
As for the population of Lantian County, although it is said that they have developed together, the governance is still under the control of the county magistrate in the middle of the court.
The development of Lishan must move forward steadily, and it cannot take too big a step at once.
Whether the residents of Lantian County renovated ditches or built houses were all carried out under the auspices of the Lantian County Magistrate.
Relatively speaking, Lishan only had food towns and no power to govern the fiefdom.
If you want this power, you can just recruit the county magistrate of Lantian to your command.
But if he does this, the emperor's restrictions on Lishan will only become stricter.
Regarding the matter of merging into Lantian County, Lishan has no plans to develop in this direction at the moment.
Seeing Zhang Yang standing outside the blacksmith's workshop, Master Jiang also came out. He has been very busy recently, and His Highness the King of Wei's pressure cooker casting has stopped.
The blacksmith shop usually helps the villagers repair farm tools, or repairs parts replaced by the assembly line, and does nothing else.
Master Jiang was able to have some free time and often guarded the blacksmith workshop, looking at the scenery of the village and chatting with passing villagers.
"I don't know what the county prince wants to do with so much coal and hematite." Master Jiang said worriedly: "It must not be used to cast soldiers and armor."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly and said: "How could it be possible? Master Jiang, don't think too much."
Being pulled into the blacksmith shop by Master Jiang, he looked around and said: "You should plan to leave King Wei as soon as possible. The glory and wealth will not be good for you."
"I agree with Master Jiang on this point." Zhang Yang sat down and shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, "I have been practicing Haoran Zhengqi recently in order to get rid of being deceived by glory and wealth. I stick to my heart and come from poverty. How can I become rich?"
"He is a sensible child." Master Jiang sat down and took out a box from a pile of scrap metal there. He opened it and thought it was a piece of glass.
"These colored glazes are all made by me, the old man, in my spare time. Let's see if His Highness King Wei is satisfied with these colored glazes."
A piece of colored glaze is about the size of a palm, but its thickness is not very symmetrical.
But this is not important, just slowly improve the craftsmanship in the future.
Zhang Yang looked at the glass, which was thick at both ends and thin in the middle, and faced the sun. The light transmittance was pretty good, and it was barely usable.
Master Jiang smiled with yellowed teeth.
Zhang Yang put away the colored glaze and saw that there were more than ten pieces. It would be better if they were smaller in size. They would be fixed with sand when the time comes.
Master Jiang looked a little more serious, "After helping His Royal Highness King Wei handle this matter, you can leave Lishan and start your own business."
Zhang Yang looked back at Master Jiang, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain it. Should he tell him directly that His Highness the King of Wei was working for me?
Not to mention whether he would believe it or not, even if he knew the truth, he would not be able to accept it.
Sitting down next to him, Zhang Yang took out the water glass hanging on his waist and drank.
"What? Do you really think that His Majesty the King of Wei will be able to get ahead if he gives you glory and wealth? Although the old man is just a blacksmith, he has made acquaintances with many powerful families and seen a lot of things by relying on this craft. He will offend the powerful people by flattering them. Nothing good ends for the powerful.”
Master Jiang's tone became more severe, and he continued: "After this is done, you will leave King Wei and take care of your wife and children to start your own business. The old man has saved some money and you can take it with you to spend."
Zhang Yang held his forehead in pain, "Master Jiang, I will let His Highness the King of Wei explain it clearly to you."
"What? Are you still working for King Wei?"
"This is not a matter of working hard." Zhang Yang grinned, "I will bring my wife and children to see Master Jiang."
Before Master Jiang could come to his senses, Zhang Yang left.
"This child can't understand now. After all, he is a young man. He has less experience and sees less." Master Jiang sat alone here again.
"After finishing this matter, let him leave the King of Wei. He will not tell the old man to separate from His Highness the King of Wei."
Li Tai didn't know that Zhang Yang was talking to Master Jiang in the blacksmith shop.
He took his own hands and wandered around the winery, but the wine he brewed now only amounted to thirty or fifty jars.
There isn't much food that can be fermented every day, and there isn't much food that can be brewed. There's nothing we can do about it.
Li Tai held a volume of "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People" in his hand, took another sip of warm wine, and asked the guard on the side, "Brother-in-law, did you really get the brewing method from this volume?"
The guard replied: "As far as I know, this is the case."
Qi Min Yaoshu mainly records the farming on both sides of the Yellow River in Qi.
Li Tai changed his sitting position and looked at an article in the book. This short article described the method of wine making, with only a few crosses, and the description was vague and general. Where is the method of wine making?
He put away the scroll, nodded and said, "This is wrong."
In a small cabin on the way to the brewery, Shangguan Yi was presiding over the brewing process.
Li Tai walked in quickly and looked at the drawings in front of him, "Sure enough."
Shangguan Yi asked curiously: "Your Highness, King Wei, what do you mean by this?"
Li Tai pointed at the drawing, "Brother-in-law's brewing method is completely different from Qi Ming Yao Shu. The method of steaming in a large barrel is not described at all. You have been fooled."
He walked out of the room in despair, not wanting to talk to Shangguan Yi who was still in the room, dazed.
At this moment on Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang is repairing the walls of the greenhouse. In order to ensure light, the walls of the greenhouse should be low, and a dome is built above to supplement the light. At the same time, the dome structure is like an upside-down bamboo basket.
There are many small holes on the surface. These small holes are covered with colored glass to allow light to pass through.
Aunt Yang came with people, "The County Marquis, His Royal Highness King Wei is here."
Zhang Yang beckoned: "Help me clean up the bricks and stones."
Li Tai made no move with a chubby face.
After plastering the low wall with mud, Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Your Highness, King Wei, are you in a bad mood?"
Li Tai exhaled through his nostrils, "Brother-in-law's brewing method is not recorded in Qi Min Yao Shu."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I never said that I learned it from Qi Ming Yao Shu, I just got inspiration."
I still helped my brother-in-law build a semicircular vault between the walls.
Hanging on the wall is a picture drawn by his brother-in-law with charcoal. Li Tai frowned at the picture.
After fixing the triangular wooden frame, Zhang Yang took off his cotton gloves, took out the charcoal pencil from his waist, and calculated the arc length formula and the area illuminated by sunlight on the drawing.
The sun is very high in winter, and it can be calculated hypothetically using trigonometric functions.
Li Tai struggled to put down a pile of stones, "That Xu Xiaode has been staring at us in Lishan and wants to take notes."
"If he wants to record it, let him do it. It was arranged by your father. If you can resist the order, it's not a shameful thing."
"Fortunately, I have asked people to pay attention to his memorial in advance, and I have to read it every time I send it out."
"He didn't write anything bad about us, did he?"
With Xu Xiaode's character, he was probably good at writing. Zhang Yang was sure that he must have written a lot of bad things, and they were all meant to impeach me.
Anyway, it’s not just once or twice, I’m used to it.
If this guy could change his bad mouth, he would be a good person.
