Li Shimin nodded and said, "Is your workshop so complicated?"
Zhang Yang stood aside with his hands folded and explained: "The transmission and grinding are indeed quite complicated."
Looking back at the lathe, Li Shimin snorted: "It looks nothing like this."
Your emperor says that this is nothing more than this, and it is useless to argue with him without knowledge or skills.
Zhang Yang simply stood aside in silence, watching the emperor put on a sophisticated face even though he didn't understand.
After the new home was built, there were very few new houses on Lishan Mountain.
"I have to repair the ladder, Your Majesty." Zhang Yang turned and left.
All the wooden boards of the wooden ladder in the library must be replaced, otherwise there will be many problems in the future.
Li Yue is cleaning up here.
Zhang Yang picked up the hammer and wooden board and continued to knock, while the couple continued to work in the library.
"Where is the father?"
"He can take care of himself. There are so many things at home." Zhang Yang cut off the extra corners according to the size of the ladder. "Besides, if a man as big as your father can take care of himself, do you still have to follow him all the way? ?"
Hearing this, Li Yue smiled and said: "It's good that my father can come to Lishan. In fact, my younger brothers and sisters have been here for a long time, and they miss their father and mother. They plan to go back to the palace to stay for a while after winter." .”
Every time there were some wood chips piled up on the ground, she quickly swept them away and poured them into the wooden barrel aside. "These wood chips are good materials for starting fires, so don't throw them away casually."
Li Shimin walked around Lishan Mountain. As the gap between people's realms became wider and wider, the relationship between people also began to become unfamiliar.
Just like the lathe in the workshop, the emperor couldn't understand it or understand its function.
Li Shimin, who felt bored, also returned to his residence at the foot of the mountain. This unnamed palace was not big. It had not been touched since His Majesty the King of Wei first built it.
Fortunately, it is located at the foot of Lishan Mountain, so it is very cool to escape the heat.
The palace was still being tidied up, and Li Shimin wrote a handwritten edict for the palace attendants to send to Chang'an City to Changsun Wuji.
His Majesty left Chang'an City to escape the summer heat, and many matters in the court fell on the crown prince of the East Palace.
At this time, in the East Palace, Li Chengqian was talking to Changsun Wuji about the selection of officials from various ministries after the imperial examination this year.
The eunuch brought His Majesty's handwriting and interrupted the conversation between the two.
Changsun Wuji first took the handwriting and looked at it. What was written on it was exactly the enlightenment strategy mentioned by Zhang Yang.
Li Chengqian hesitated and said, "Did your father say something?"
Changsun Wuji handed over the handwritten letter, "Back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, Your Majesty went to Lishan Mountain to escape the summer heat. Naturally, he wanted to talk to the Marquis of Lishan County, so he talked about this matter."
Looking at the contents of the handwriting, Li Chengqian nodded without saying anything.
"Your Highness, the court and China are currently debating the method of civilizing the Turks. Duke Zheng hopes to eradicate the bad habits of the Turks. However, I believe that since ancient times, whether they are Huns or Turks, they have never changed. No matter how the Central Plains are civilized, as long as the Central Plains are civilized, Whenever there is a change, they will cause chaos, and this has not changed since ancient times.”
Changsun Wuji's impression of the Turks has never changed.
Li Chengqian hesitated to speak. Thinking about it from his perspective, many people in the court after the Weishui Alliance hated the Turks deeply. It was not until General Li Jing captured Jieli Khan alive that this bad breath came out.
It's just that many people think that Jie Li fell to death in the big Kongming Lantern, but no one has seen his body. Some people say that he was picked up by wild animals after falling.
As for Jie Li's life and death, perhaps only his father knew about it, but his father had never told anyone about it.
It's been five years since this happened and it's still a mystery.
Many people have forgotten the loser Jyali Khan.
Whether he is dead or alive, it is not important to Datang. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. If he lives, he may still be useful to his father.
As for the person who was beside Jieli Khan, there was no news about him after the last time Zhang Yang insisted on opposing the grant of ministers from Turks and foreign countries.
Duke Zhao may also know a thing or two, but he will not tell Gu about these things.
The father is no longer the King of Qin. For the father, he does not even trust his own son in this Manchu Dynasty, let alone these ministers.
Li Chengqian put away these thoughts, read the handwriting, and said: "The strategy of educating Tubo that Zhang Yang told his father is quite good."
Changsun Wuji sighed: "Your Highness, the strategy mentioned by Zhang Yang will also cause turmoil in the countries outside the Pass."
"Wouldn't it be more beneficial to Datang if they were in turmoil?"
"No." Changsun Wuji objected: "Any strategy that is unfavorable to others will backfire on oneself, and it is too extreme. Such extremes will only expand the conflicts between people and eventually backfire on oneself."
Zhang Yang's approach was rejected by Changsun Wuji.
After talking to him about the appointment of officials in the court, Li Chengqian escorted him out of the East Palace.
"Zhao Jie, what do Duke Zhao mean by these words?" Li Chengqian frowned.
When Zhang Yang served in the East Palace, Zhao Jie followed the prince. Now for so many years, he leads the prince's direct team, the prince's right leader.
When it comes to friendship, Zhao Jie and Li Anyan have been together the longest.
Zhao Jie bowed and said, "Your Highness, how can you know so much in such a humble position?"
"You are a rough guy, you should read more books."
Zhao Jie smiled awkwardly.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Zhang Yang's method is indeed good. Even if there is turmoil in the countries outside the Guan, the Tang Dynasty can pacify it. Now Tubo is governing very well, and more and more Tubo people are turning to the Tang Dynasty. "
But even if Zhang Yang proposed this strategy, Zhao Guogong opposed it so firmly, with some personal grudges.
Li Chengqian suddenly smiled, "It seems that there will be no less disturbances in the court in the future."
Summer is coming to an end, and when the northwest wind blows, people feel the feeling of autumn.
Half a month later, on Mount Li, Zhang Yang and Li Yue were looking at the autumn harvest memorials sent from various places. Many granaries across the country had begun to put grain.
Li Yue frowned and said: "The food in Taiyuan has dropped to three cents per bucket of rice. The price of four cents in Guanzhong will probably not last for half a month. When Huainan harvests in October, the price of food will fall even further."
Zhang Yang glanced at Li Shimin, who was sitting by the Huaqing Pool and drinking tea. The emperor was still sitting quite securely.
He came to Lishan to escape the summer heat, and arranged a place for the emperor to live, and he even came to eat there every day.
When he was busy, Lishan had to prepare an extra meal to deliver.
When I am not busy, I come to Lishan for meals.
Grain has always been Guozuo's top priority, so the price of grain harvested in Lishan can be lowered and used to make wine.
Harvest grain in the years of abundance, and release the grain in drought years when the harvest is poor.
The emperor is a big-hearted man. Now that food is so cheap, there will be no famine years in the Central Plains, which will put more pressure on Taifu Temple.
Cheap food meant that the value of the land decreased, and it was difficult to manage the food table in the Tang Dynasty, and it took a lot of effort to manage it.
Shangguan Yi has already gone to Jinghe. Li Xiaogong's 300 acres of fertile land can be used to grow vegetables, cabbages and radishes.
Three hundred acres of vegetable land is a great thing for Taifu Temple.
The lower the price of food, the greater the urgency for crop diversity.
To say what I am worried about, what I am worried about is not the land annexation issue in the later period of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Yang felt that he was the only one in the world who was worried, and he was the only one who cared about the country and the people.
"I have done all the good things in this Tang Dynasty." Zhang Yang lamented.
"Huh." Li Shimin, who was sitting on the other side of Huaqing Pool, heard this and snorted coldly: "If you do good things, you should contribute to the country instead of sitting here all day long."
"Your Majesty made a mistake. My current accounting is for the sake of the country."
"This is just a matter within your Taifu Temple."
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "If it weren't for our Lishan account, I dare to ask His Majesty who would arrange the expenses for the court."
From the emperor's perspective, it is natural for ministers to serve the country.
For Zhang Yang, working for the emperor and thinking about the people of the world are two different things.
Out of the emperor's personal interests, he would only use strategies that were beneficial to the moment, and his vision was not very far-sighted.
For example, Di Zhisun planted trees on the west side of the Hexi Corridor to build a sand control forest to reduce environmental degradation caused by over-cultivation of Guanzhong fields.
Sometimes it’s great to think that these things are worth a lifetime of work.
Still wanting to say something more to him, the emperor stretched and left.
The couple then read the memorials sent from various places. Zhang Yang picked up a memorial. This was the status of the fields that Pei Xuanji had discovered on Fan Yang's boundary.
When Tianhe replaced Qi, the Lu and Gao families were expelled and left Shandong. They scattered in the land of Qin and Yan, and later one of them settled in Fanyang.
During the time of the First Emperor, Lu family of Fan Yang was famous in the Central Plains, Lu Ao, and Lu gave birth to two Ph.D.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Fan Yang Lu family became a large family in Fan Yang. Later, there were rumors that there were three princesses in the Fan Yang Lu family.
Later historians also wrote that Fan Yang was the crown clan of Beizhou.
This is how Fan Yang started his business.
Several other families in the family have dealt with him, and even the Li family of Zhao County has been in contact. Currently, Fan Yang is the only one left.
In the memorandum written by Pei Xuanji, there is another page in the mezzanine. Taken out from the mezzanine is the story of Pei Xuanji's friendship while traveling in Fan Yang. This man has been working according to the original plan and has sold part of the debt to Went to Fanyang Lu family.
Zhang Yang took out his own seal of Princess Runan of Lishan and added it with the seal of his county marquis. After the couple's seals were stamped, he sold the 600,000 gu debt to the Lu family and waited for the contract to be sent to Fan Yang. , Fan Yang will send money.
The debt of 600,000 guan was priced at 500,000 guan, and by then Lishan would have another 500,000 guan in silver.
How Fan Yang asked for money from Zhaojun and how he asked for money from Buddhism has nothing to do with Lishan. Fan Yang can get the price difference by buying the debt.
Fan Yang made a hundred thousand yuan from this kind of business. Who wouldn't be happy with this kind of business?
A high-profile family has the best reputation value. You are not afraid that the other party will not be able to pay for it. You can also have family property to pay off the debt.
The first time he sold it, he sold 600,000 yuan, which was still a little less. Zhang Yang asked his aunt to arrange for someone to send the contract over, and said with his hands: "This person is still not efficient enough in doing things."
Li Yue frowned and said, "My husband can get half a million yuan as soon as he changes hands. I'm still not satisfied."
"I just think he could be bolder."
"If you give it all to Fan Yang at once, how can you let them bite each other? My husband should be patient and not be so anxious."
Hearing the child crying again in the house, Xiong Shit took the child out of the cradle and brought the child's swaddling clothes to Li Yue with his teeth.
This bear had grown up with Xiao Qingqing.
Now that Xiao An has been born, he has more experience in raising babies, and he also knows that babies will only be quiet when they are in the arms of their mistress.
Li Yue took the child and comforted him for a moment before he stopped crying. "Maybe the child is hungry."
After saying that, she hugged the child and returned to the house.
Zhang Yang looked at Xiong Da who was lying next to him. After finishing the memorial in front of him, he lay down and rested his head on the thick bear's back. "Why don't you go to plow the fields today?"
The little bear rolled his tongue and yawned, then closed his eyes.
After a while, Xiao Qingqing also climbed onto the bear's back. The girl lay on the bear's back, planning to take a nap here.
Ever since little Sizi came to Lishan, she and the little princess have been inseparable, and even sleep together at night.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Where is Princess Jinyang?"
Xiao Qingqing changed into a comfortable sleeping position on the bear's back, "Sister Sizi has already fallen asleep. It's uncomfortable to sleep hard. My daughter feels that the bear's big back is comfortable."
Listening to her sweet voice and sweet words, she relied heavily on Xiong Da. Xiong Da was a member of the family. He could look after the house and nursery, take care of the children, and farm the land.
The child can no longer live without the bear.
Just spoil the child, and sooner or later the child will be spoiled.
Zhang Yang is calculating...
After a while, she fell asleep on the bear's back, sleeping soundly.
My daughter is only two years old and is very dependent on bears. Children of this age will become dependent on one thing, such as a doll, a blanket, or a toy. With these things, they will be in a bad mood. It will calm down when the time comes.
My daughter relies on this bear. When she is in a bad mood, she will scold Xiong Da or Xiong Er Xiong San.
This is a way for her to vent her emotions.
Zhang Yang concluded in his mind that he had gained more experience in raising children.
Back in the house, my wife had already fed the child. She was lying on her side and asleep, breathing smoothly. She covered her with a blanket.
Zhang Yang glanced at his son again. He was also sleeping soundly, and his little feet suddenly kicked, as if it was an unconscious reaction.
In the afternoon in Lishan, everyone was resting. At home quietly, Zhang Yang washed his face with pool water and continued to read the memorial in front of him.
Food is the most important thing for the people. There are endless things to do and endless plans to complete.
Worry before the world's worries, what a profound warning.
Zhang Yang felt that he was the only one in the world who was really serving the people.
The first ones to wake up from their nap were Li Zhi and Xu Hui, followed by Xiao Wu. After washing up, the three of them had to practice sword and sword skills with Aunt Yang.
Li Tai's steam engine experiment failed again.
Early the next morning, after Zhang Yang took his younger brothers and sisters for a morning run, they saw the whole fat man with a depressed face.
