Li Yue woke up when she heard her daughter's laughter. She sat up lazily and took a deep breath.
The husband was playing with building blocks with his daughter. A large yard made of building blocks was on the table. With such a result, Xiao Qingqing could appreciate it and be happy for a long time. As long as she was not allowed to learn to write, besides writing, this Everything else in the world was good to her.
Xiao Qingqing picked a small flower and placed it in the yard she built herself.
The autumn days in Guanzhong always make people feel comfortable and cozy. The greening on Lishan Mountain has always been very good. On the basis of not cutting down trees, Zhang Yang also planted some willow trees, which makes the scenery of Lishan Mountain more beautiful in this leaf-falling season. More green in the middle.
After the scenery in other places has entered autumn and turned yellow, Lishan Mountain is still lush and green.
The rice grown in the fields of Lishan is harvesting, which is also one of the wonders of Lishan.
Different from other villages and counties, in addition to harvesting wheat in summer, rice is also harvested in autumn.
This led to rumors that people in Lishan were good eaters and very fat.
Li Tai has been busy with the brewery these days and has not come to the blacksmith shop again.
From the perspective of the people in the village, the furnace in the blacksmith workshop has been out for some time, and it has not started burning again since it stopped working this summer.
The blacksmiths who originally worked here were also assigned to the brewery.
Master Jiang can handle it with three or two craftsmen.
"You don't know if these colored glazes will be enough for King Wei." Master Jiang covered the basket with cloth. For fear of being seen by other people in the blacksmith workshop, he always lit the stove when no one was around and burned it alone. Make these colored glazes.
Zhang Yang opened a corner of the black cloth and looked at the palm-sized pieces of colored glaze inside the frame. Of course, it couldn't be as clean as in later generations. It would be nice if it could transmit light.
"Master Jiang, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has been very busy recently. When I have some free time, I will bring the King of Wei to explain to Master Jiang."
"Go ahead."
Master Jiang's attitude was much colder than before. He picked up the basket of colored glaze and looked at Master Jiang's expression before leaving.
The old man looked worried, knowing that he was worried about himself, so he would find an opportunity to talk to him clearly later.
Carrying a large basket of colored glaze, I arrived at the top of Lishan Mountain. The wooden shelves around the greenhouse had not yet been removed.
Zhang Yang took off his thick coat and prepared to cover the empty holes above the large cage in the greenhouse with colored glaze.
Take the ladder and place it under the vault. First use glass under the wooden frame, then use wood pieces to support the bottom. Use a small mallet to drive in fine nails to fix it. Glaze is sandwiched between the wooden strips to make it appear firm. a lot of.
The construction of the greenhouse has been prepared for half a year, and now it has officially entered the final stage.
Some weeds have already grown in the greenhouse, and with the warmth provided by the hot springs, these weeds are growing well after changing the soil.
It also shows that the land has been cultivated and ready for growing vegetables.
Li Yue walked into the greenhouse. The greenhouse was very large, as big as Huaqing Pool. The hot spring water flowed from both sides of the greenhouse to the middle, dividing the place squarely into small pieces.
She leaned down and looked at the pieces of glass in the basket, and said curiously: "The quality of these glass seems to be very good, but it is a pity that it can only be used by my husband to build a greenhouse."
After installing several pieces of glass, Zhang Yang stepped down the ladder and looked up again, "Look, in this way, light can also pass through these glass and shine into the greenhouse."
Hearing this, Li Yue also raised his eyes and saw that the five pieces of glass looked even more crystal clear in the sunlight.
"Very beautiful." She commented.
"How about adding some to the windows of our house?"
"What would it look like if this vault were covered with this kind of glass?"
Li Yue usually wears very plain and simple clothes. At first glance, it seems that she has returned to her former appearance in her small home in Chang'an City.
Her stubbornness was still there, and she was still unwilling to use this kind of colored glaze to decorate her home, so she immediately avoided the topic.
The daughter-in-law had to persuade her slowly, but Zhang Yang was not in a hurry.
After Mr. Wen Yanbo became seriously ill, his family came to visit him half a month later. Due to his condition, he could no longer leave Lishan, and Dr. Sun was still there to take care of him.
Today, Zhang Yang and Li Yue watched from a distance with their daughters. The old man was surrounded by his family members. The mood of these relatives was not very good.
"Won't your husband come forward and talk to them?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Mr. Sun will tell them that there is no need for me to go."
Now Wen Yanbo is only awake for three or two hours every day, that is, in the early morning. After the afternoon, when he is exhausted mentally and physically, he will fall into a state of confusion again.
According to Dr. Sun, this state of consciousness will only become shorter and shorter.
This condition is irreversible and one can only watch the situation worsen.
The old gentleman used the few clear moments to explain his funeral affairs. After that, she would regard her son as an old friend and her grandson as an enemy and scold him fiercely.
After these family members left, Li Shimin came to visit him in person.
The couple watched His Majesty and Mr. Wen talking in low voices from a distance, and they didn't know what the old Mr. Wen would say to His Majesty at this time.
After noon, the old gentleman himself didn’t know where he was and could only curse Tian Khan angrily.
Li Shimin gave up and left. When he saw Li Yue and Zhang Yang, his eyes softened, "Is it true that the old gentleman's condition is incurable as Dr. Sun said?"
Zhang Yang stopped where he was, nodded and said: "That's true. At this age, Dr. Sun has the means to briefly wake up the old man, but this forced wakefulness will only make his condition more serious. These days It’s pretty good to still be awake occasionally.”
Seeing the dissatisfaction in the emperor's eyes, Zhang Yang waved the fan in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there are too many things in this world that are difficult to resolve."
"I am not the only one who has the final say in this court. There are too many people in this world who have grown old before completing their studies, and their ambitions are hard to achieve. I have trouble sleeping all night long."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Your Majesty can't stay awake all night, this country still needs your Majesty."
Following her husband's words, Li Yue bowed slightly and said, "Father, you should also pay more attention to your health."
Li Shimin looked at the couple and sighed, "Zhang Yang, what do you think I should do to be a wise and sage king?"
"I don't know."
Zhang Yang answered quickly. There was no way to answer this kind of question.
"There are still people who want me to climb Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk. I often wonder how shameful it is."
Zhang Yang looked at the village minister and said, "Your Majesty, the old man has been running Shuofang for many years. When Zheng Gong argued with him about the governance of Turks, I thought it was time now."
"Wen Yanbo originally asked me to follow Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and settle the Turkic tribes, and I agreed to him. What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, today is different from the past. Sometimes, Zheng Gong's words are right, and his strategy is also right. However, due to the national strength at that time, Your Majesty is more willing to choose lower-cost methods. He is worried about the possibility of assimilation. In the process of transforming the Turks, the Turks will change again."
"But now that Mobei has been pacified, the only Turkic people who can command troops and horses, and the only person who can fight against the Tang Dynasty in military affairs is Ashinadur who stayed back from the beginning. He is now in Persia, beyond reach, and the Turkic little khan It is still under the control of our Foreign Affairs Council.”
"This little khan has no great talents or great ideas, but is just an innocent child. This is a good time to assimilate them, send officials to implement county governance, promote Confucianism and Legalism, and be included in the Tang Dynasty household registration."
Li Shimin whispered: "I will let all the ministers in the court discuss this matter."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Then I'll do my best to help you, Your Majesty."
The autumn wind blew by, and Li Shimin suddenly asked, "Even if the DPRK and China disagree, will you still let the Foreign Affairs Council do this?"
"Your Majesty is joking, how dare you?"
Feeling that something was wrong with this boy's smile, Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "The old gentleman had a long conversation with you before he became seriously ill. What did he say to you?"
"After talking about his life aspirations, it's hard to get over his old man's wishes."
"He also told you about Liaodong?"
"He never mentioned it."
Li Shimin said: "Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times before, which caused widespread resentment among the people. Every villager in the village is out of ten. I have my heart to take Goguryeo, but the time has not come yet, so you can't make any decisions."
"I understand."
After bidding farewell to his father, Li Yue looked at her husband with a smile on his face and said, "My husband will definitely make his own decisions."
"So I won't be able to be the Minister of Rites for long."
"How far is it from my husband's thirty years?"
"There are only three years left." Zhang Yang held her hand and walked home.
"My father, like my husband, has too many things to think about and too many things to do. He is afraid of becoming an old gentleman in his later years."
Hearing the worry and warning in her words, Zhang Yang grinned and said, "I'm different. I practice Haoran's righteousness, and trivial matters in the world cannot affect me."
"Besides, it will take me another two years to build a steam engine, another three years to make Lishan Manufacturing famous in the world, and then we will raise our children well. The two of us will count our money every day. That is our ideal."
"My husband treated me when I was young. If I get older and my husband becomes seriously ill, I will take care of him until our hair turns gray."
"Okay, you can support me when I get older."
The couple held hands, Li Yue blushed and smiled softly, with a little happiness on her face.
The winery in Lishan sent out 500 jars of wine for the first time. The wine was escorted by the officers and soldiers of the DPRK. Li Shimin ordered a general he trusted.
When these drinks are out of customs, they will be arranged by Di Zhisun, either sold in the mutual market, or handed over to Anyanyan to arrange sales.
After brewing all these grains into wine, Zhang Yang felt that his pressure was greatly reduced. The wine in Guanzhong was in short supply outside the customs, and many transactions outside the customs were still barter. The wine in Guanzhong was not as bland as highland barley wine, and It is not as sour as grape wine, which is the biggest competitiveness of Guanzhong wine.
A jar of Guanzhong wine can be exchanged for a few taels of gold sand, which is the greatest source of wealth.
Lishan is good at harvesting wealth, and the emperor also likes to do it. When this matter was discussed by the court, Li Shimin was ready to make money while lying down, so that the bulk of the money was still in Lishan, paying off the construction of Hexi The debt owed by the corridor is no longer a problem for the emperor.
Yan Liben walked into the Ganlu Hall with the book and said, "Your Majesty, I am not very talented and have not understood the knowledge contained in it. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Shimin took the booklet and looked at it again. There were various complicated diagrams written on it, as well as many annotations and some strange formulas.
Not to mention Yan Liben, even if he took it to the Imperial Academy and showed it to the old scholars, they wouldn't be able to understand it.
The knowledge Zhang Yang used in Lishan cannot be understood by common sense.
Now Li Zhi can easily solve the problems in the Nine Chapters of Mathematics, which is beyond the reach of many of his peers. However, when he studied in the Imperial College, he had many conflicts with the old master in terms of some cognitions and opinions on articles.
Fortunately, the official in charge of the DPRK will not impeach these children even if he wants to impeach them.
Li Shimin adopted an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude and put down the booklet in his hand, "I will let Li Shan draft it again, and we will worry about it later."
Yan Liben bowed and resigned.
He himself said that as long as he read this brochure, he could make the water wheel and windmill. Is he fooling me? Still mocking me for being stupid!
Li Lizhi walked into the hall, holding a basket, "The queen asked her daughter to bring these loquats."
Li Shimin picked up the loquat and took a bite. The juice spurted out and he ate fiercely.
Seeing that her father's expression was not very good, Li Lizhi wanted to leave without saying anything.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing what the father said, Li Lizhi stopped and looked back, "What else does the father have to say?"
Li Shimin handed over the brochure he brought from Lishan, "Take a look."
Taking the brochure handed over by her father, Li Lizhi frowned and looked through it, "Isn't this the brochure about how my brother-in-law built a water wheel and windmill?"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Zhang Yang did tell me that, but Yan Liben said he couldn't understand it and couldn't understand it."
"Well, ordinary people really can't understand it." Li Lizhi looked at the contents of the booklet, "There are many complicated geometric diagrams and formulas on it. If you don't learn Lishan arithmetic, you really can't understand it if you don't know how to calculate it. "
Li Shimin nodded and said, "How profound is Lishan's knowledge?"
"Actually, this is not very profound, as long as you understand the truth." Li Lizhi put away the booklet, "Father, don't worry, my daughter can rearrange it, and Master Yan will be able to understand it."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
With the pamphlet, Li Lizhi returned to the Li Zheng Palace. Her younger brother and sister felt that it was boring to be in the palace. The maids and eunuchs in the palace usually kept their heads down and obeyed.
Even if they went to monitor classes at Guozi, for the younger brothers and sisters, they didn't like the way those old masters looked when they were giving lectures, which was lifeless.
Unlike my brother-in-law's lectures, which are lively and fun, he can still understand the truth.
Xiao Sizi and Gao Yang were sitting in front of the palace gate. They were not in high spirits and had no appetite for eating recently.
The queen mother is not in the palace, and is probably taking care of things in the harem.
Li Lizhi sighed. Her face was still rounded with some baby fat. She picked up the pen and started writing with a solemn expression, trying to change the way of understanding the contents of the booklet.
The other children in the palace all started from Lishan's knowledge to lay the foundation.
