The little bear is already very big now. After raising it for five years, it is already a full-grown bear.
It rushed towards the three-hippo and raised its paws.
The three-hippo drank water by the Huaqing Pool. Facing the charging bear, it still raised its head proudly. When it turned its back, it kicked back gracefully. The little bear was kicked into the pool, causing a large splash of water. .
The three-hippo raised its head proudly and left briskly with its four hooves.
The little bear was left to climb ashore in a state of disgrace.
This scene made Xiao Qingqing giggle. The little bear shook the water droplets from his fur, came to the little master, and whined aggrievedly.
Xiao Wu handed it a piece of dried meat and then stopped. The little bear gnawed on the dried meat and squatted down next to its little master.
After two days, Zhang Yang inspected the roof of the greenhouse. It was not that the entire roof was covered with glass, but a lot of space was left open to allow air circulation.
Li Yue is very satisfied with her results. She is looking forward to the day when the flowers planted in the greenhouse will bloom.
Then he gave a reply to the memorial sent by the central government. In order to implement county governance in Turks, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel must contribute people and efforts, and naturally money will be used.
Zhang Yang frowned at the memorial sent by the officials and asked for two thousand gu in silver, but he did not have a specific plan. He only mentioned the cost of building an official residence and dispatching personnel.
Even with such a brief plan, Zhang Yang rejected it and asked the people in the village to send these memorials back.
Money cannot be spent like this or wasted in vain.
After two months of balance, the money was divided with the emperor. There was still a surplus of 6,000 guan in the court. Spending money must be planned and implemented in detail.
With these sad thoughts, Zhang Yang walked towards the medical clinic. Lishan Medical Clinic was already well-known in Guanzhong. With Dr. Sun as the leader, the patients had always been the same. No matter you were a powerful person or an ordinary villager, everyone are treated the same.
This is also the philosophy that Divine Doctor Sun has always adhered to. Treating diseases and saving people is treating diseases and saving people. It is a very pure thing.
If he, the old god, was greedy for fame, he would have surrendered to Tian Khan long ago. How could he be in Lishan Mountain?
The reason why this old miracle doctor can be retained is because the opening of Lishan Medical Center is in line with his purpose as a person and can also provide him with an environment for compiling medicinal scriptures.
The hospital was very quiet. Zhang Yang stepped in. The place was very clean and the floor was spotless.
Walking into the main entrance of the medical center, there are many patients in the rooms in the backyard. The people here speak very softly.
We came to a room at the very back, where Mr. Wen lived.
The servant was wiping his body. The old gentleman looked confused and was talking in a low voice, as if he was recounting the past.
Zhang Yang took his cloth and said, "I'll do it."
The servant nodded and stood aside.
The old gentleman was very thin, his eyes were in a trance, and he no longer had the energy he had when he was talking. His skin seemed to be hanging on a skeleton without any elasticity.
"Old sir, I will first appease the court and not attack Goguryeo, but for the rest of the matter, I will follow the previous agreement."
Not sure if the old gentleman could listen, Zhang Yang continued: "You always try to live a few more years so that you can see the day when the four counties of Goguryeo are recovered. You can cultivate and recuperate here without having to think about other things."
After wiping the old gentleman's body, take a look at his living environment. The furniture is all ready.
Zhang Yang said to the servant on the side: "Let the old gentleman sit in the wheelchair when you have time, and push him out to take him to relax."
The servant kept nodding, "You can beat me or scold me, sir. I just want you to live a little longer."
After patting him on the shoulder, Zhang Yang couldn't make any promises at this time.
Life still has to go on, people are inseparable from birth, old age, illness and death. The teacher's body can still cope with life. There are more and more elderly people around, and it always feels like life is getting heavier.
Xu Xiaode left without saying goodbye.
Zhang Yang took a look at his residence. He had kept it very clean when he left. It looked like it was when he moved in, and it was restored to its original state when he left. Not even any debris was left behind.
In the evening, the moon can already be seen.
This moon has been accompanying the earth since the beginning of life on the earth. It has witnessed the rise and fall of mankind, and has also seen mankind break out of the sky from slash-and-burn farming.
Zhang Yang always felt a panic when looking at the moon, maybe because of a guilty conscience.
Take a deep breath and arm your mind with materialistic quotes. This way you feel that your mind is much clearer.
Back on Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang continued to specialize in muskets.
At night, seeing her husband drawing drawings all the time, Li Yue asked curiously: "How many times has your husband drawn this kind of drawing?"
Zhang Yang held the paintbrush in his hand and smiled: "I have considered using a wooden handle, but in order to be more durable, I still have to use steel, but wood has better elasticity. I am also very conflicted now and have been hesitant. So I plan to make one using both structures.”
Picking up the drawing on the side, Li Yue frowned and looked at it, "Is this for holding in your hand?"
Looking forward to the advent of this creation, Zhang Yang was in a good mood, "I promised to build one for my daughter and make it a toy for her."
When the husband said this, the daughter was still in her infancy. How could she remember that the father had said such a thing.
But seeing her husband loving her daughter so much, Li Yue was still filled with happiness, "Will this thing hurt someone's life?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "This is the most powerful hidden weapon."
Slowly putting down the drawings in his hands, most of the happiness in his heart disappeared. It was up to him to give his daughter whatever toys he wanted to give her.
"Since it can hurt people, shouldn't it be given to children too early?"
"Well, the one for my daughter is naturally different. I plan to make her a toy gun, and when she grows up and can control herself, I will give her a real gun."
After saying this, Li Yue felt relieved.
Zhang Yang put down the pen in his hand, and a drawing of a flintlock gun appeared on the paper. He made a cup of tea and looked up at the vast starry sky.
"Are there any other stories besides Diary of a Madman?"
"Yes." Zhang Yang added, "Let me tell you a story about Kong Yiji."
"Well, I haven't heard this kind of story from my husband for a long time."
My daughter-in-law liked to listen to fairy tales when she was a child, and she also liked Cheng Menlixue.
It's different now. She likes Diary of a Madman and Liaozhai.
Peaceful days are always good, and life in Lishan has returned to normal. The younger brothers and sisters have been in the palace these days, because the children are always in Chang'an City during the summer vacation. If they want to come to Lishan again, they have to spend time in the palace. a period of time.
At this time, Li Yue can also prepare the teaching materials for the next stage of teaching for his younger brothers and sisters.
The couple had no idea about it in Lishan, but their younger brother and sister were all-powerful in the Imperial Academy in Chang'an City. Their math skills defeated many adult students and gave the master a headache. The people headed by Li Zhi even brought a few people to follow Lishan. The academic people are all under the banner of promoting righteousness in the world.
It wasn't until Li Shimin ordered Li Zhi to be grounded for half a month that the matter was resolved.
Both Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng have been feeling very melancholy recently. A gust of wind blew inexplicably in Chang'an City. Although this gust of wind promotes righteousness, it is a good thing.
But the wind was blowing a little crookedly, and the old gentlemen who had been studying for half their lives were afraid to teach those children.
When Li Shimin heard about this, he was furious in Chang'an City, "It's all Zhang Yang's doing. What did he do to my children in Lishan?"
The prince hurriedly entered the palace, "Your Majesty, Minister Cen is here."
"Let him in."
Cen Wenwen walked into the messy Manna Hall. His Majesty had just finished his anger. At this time, the place was in chaos, and various objects fell to the ground.
Carefully stepping over the broken inkstone in half, Cen Wenwen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, more books are needed to open the official school. At the beginning of the year, more than 60 tutors were recruited. After six months of examination and selection, the evaluation After that, there are now thirty-one left, I wonder if Lishan can take out the Meng Xue scroll again."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "You can go to Lishan to discuss this matter with Zhang Yang in person."
With His Majesty's permission, Cen Wenwen added: "Your Majesty, it is said that there is papermaking technology in Lishan Mountain. Can you go to Lishan Mountain to get some paper? Officials in the court can also use bamboo slips, but there is still a shortage of paper."
Li Shimin still nodded in agreement.
Recently, Li Tai put down the pressure cooker for the time being. Playing chess with his brother-in-law is also a very torturous thing.
Even if it is torture, you will lose every game, at least you will be convinced of the defeat, unlike playing chess with Uncle Wang.
As Zhang Yang checked his black piece to death, Li Taiyan said: "Uncle Wang is simply not a human being."
"Huh? I thought His Highness the King of Wei would say that I am not a human being."
"Oh, brother-in-law is a human being, but brother-in-law is a monster." Li Tai rearranged the chessboard.
"The officials in the court are running around for the sake of the country, but His Royal Highness the King of Wei and Zhang Shilang have nothing to do. They are really envious of others." Cen Wenwen was walking over in court clothes.
Li Tai quickly stood up and said, "Servant Cen."
"I have met His Highness King Wei."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Brother Wenwen, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here to harm me again?"
"Hahaha!" Cen Wenwen said with a loud laugh: "Why do you say this? The official just met Zhang Shilang, and before he said anything, he said that the official had harmed people. It is really unjust!"
"Then what are you doing?"
"According to His Majesty's decree, I came to Lishan to collect the scrolls. The teaching support project has been launched. After the autumn harvest, the government also received returns from various places. The response was very good."
Cen Wenwen was not polite and sat down casually, "May I ask Mr. Zhang, how many books can Lishan produce now?"
Zhang Yang looked sideways at Li Tai.
Li Tai has always been looking after Lishan Construction. Zhang Yang himself doesn't know how many books survive.
Not long after the sweltering heat passed, Lishan's printing shop started working.
Li Tai cupped his hands and replied: "There are more than three thousand volumes. I wonder if they are enough for the imperial court to use?"
Cen Wenwen nodded slightly, "That's enough. I have been ordered to come and get the scroll. Besides the scroll, there is one more thing."
"Master Cen, please speak."
Li Tai knows etiquette very well. In front of outsiders, he is still the sensible and well-behaved prince. He says a word and salutes once.
He is not as carefree as he was in the village. I think back then he became the king of children in the village and was always shouting and drinking. Now those children have grown up and it is inconvenient to leave Lishan after studying. They took part in the imperial examination, and some stayed to work in factories in the village.
The children who used to hang out with Li Tai have grown up and no longer follow King Wei. Everyone has become sensible and understands the difference in status and needs to keep a distance from the prince.
Now the children in the village have changed a lot, and those children are not as bold as the group of bears who followed Li Tai before.
Cen Wenwen whispered: "Nowadays, many officials in the imperial court use bamboo slips. The paper is becoming increasingly scarce, and the price of paper in Chang'an City has increased again. I thought that since Lishan has mastered the art of papermaking, he might as well give the imperial court some paper."
Hearing this, Li Tai immediately kept silent. Only his brother-in-law could make the decision on such matters.
Zhang Yang picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea. "It's not impossible. May I ask how much the court wants?"
"Of course the more the better."
Seeing that Zhang Yang was stupefied and embarrassed, and having heard about this man's love of money, Cen Wenwen added: "Naturally, the court cannot spend so much money to buy paper. With the imperial examinations held in successive years, the rice paper and rice paper that were paid tribute in the early years were There is no longer enough mulberry paper, there are more and more officials, and more and more money is spent."
"As the Minister of Duzhi, Zhang Shilang is in charge of the allocation of expenditures in the court. Not to mention that the Turks will spend a lot of money to build an additional official residence. It is enough for Zhang Shilang to send back the memorial and they will renegotiate, but the paper is scarce."
Zhang Yang frowned and said: "According to what Minister Cen said, if Lishan doesn't give the paper, the court will be in trouble for a clever woman, right?"
Cen Wenwen smiled awkwardly and said: "What a clever woman, they are all capable ministers and officials. As for the price, Zhao Guogong first exchanged hematite for Lishan iron materials. The lower official thought that the court could also use other things in exchange for paper. Zhang What do you think, Sir?"
Zhang Yang said without hesitation: "We don't lack anything in Lishan."
"This..." Cen Wenwen said at a loss for words, "Is there a shortage of iron in Lishan Mountain?"
"The iron we have in stock now is enough for us to use for a year."
"Coal?"
"There is enough coal and stone, and the coal and stone from Mobei are still being delivered."
"How can this be okay?"
Not to mention that Chao Zhong gave money to buy paper, but I was still short of money.
Zhang Yang waved his sleeves and said, "Well, as long as the Central Government allows Lishan's goods to be sold in the Hexi Corridor's mutual market, and Lishan manages his own business, in this way, I will pay the Central Government every month in the past years." How about three thousand feet of paper?”
These papers can solve the urgent needs of the government.
Cen Wenwen was still thinking, and Zhang Yang added: "If the court still wants to buy paper, you can also exchange it for hematite. Ten stones of hematite will be exchanged for five stones of paper. How about that?"
"Can I first go to the court and inform the Prime Minister and Duke Zhao of Zhongshu Province? After Your Majesty gives permission, I can then make a decision with Zhang Shilang?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "I will write the documents in advance, and if the DPRK and the Central Government approve, we will make such arrangements later."
Cen Wenwen stood up and resigned, but in the afternoon, news came from Chang'an City that His Majesty agreed to the exchange.
There is no need to worry about selling the goods in Lishan, but the market in Guanzhong will be saturated sooner or later. In order to expand sales, it is natural to earn money from the people of the Western Regions.
