Raising a child was a difficult job, and Zhang Yang had no intention of sleeping anymore, so he simply sat next to the child and took out a picture. This was the drawing of the academy that he originally envisioned.
According to the previous idea, the location of the academy was determined to be on the edge of Lantian County, and several villages and counties would need to work together to build it.
Zhang Yang spread out the drawings and continued to outline what he had in mind. This academy would not teach people to be officials or how to participate in the imperial examination.
This is an academy opened for the most ordinary people.
This academy doesn't care about family status, family background, or how rich your family background is.
What they teach are all technology-related things, such as carpentry, blacksmithing, or building houses, or business operations, or cooking skills.
If you have the necessities of life, you need skills, and there is demand. When there is demand, there is development, and you need technology.
These are mutually reinforcing, and productivity driven by better technology is also a positive improvement.
Just like the cooks who learned the art from Lishan can make more delicious meals. Knowing a balanced diet and the importance of vegetables can help the people of Tang Dynasty eat better, make children stronger, and make the elderly more healthy.
These are all necessary skills to make a living. Even in the Tang Dynasty today, these skills are passed down by word of mouth. If you want to learn, you need a certain threshold.
Of course, this is likely to touch the interests of some people, but since you are going to take the road of technology, you cannot be afraid of others coveting it.
Lishan is not afraid of being targeted by those who are interested. The knowledge taught by Lishan is Lishan's effective technology. The technology must be continuous and need to be improved step by step.
It is very slow for disciples to learn this ancient method just by being taught by the master.
If you can arrange it carefully and study more systematically, you will not only learn effectively, but also teach efficiently and brainstorm to improve your technical level.
The development of Lishan is limited, and the population of Lishan is also limited.
If he doesn't want to improve at this time, Lishan is likely to rest on his laurels in the future.
It would have been nice if my family could live well in the past. Now I can still think about building an academy, not just because of Li Tai's steam engine.
With the steam engine, and then the application of the steam engine, Lishan's productivity will take off.
It also shows the limit of Lishan. The current moment is the limit of Lishan. Building the steam engine is the result of Li Tai and No. 30 people working hard day and night.
Although it is not perfect yet, it will get better and better in the future.
When basic knowledge is exhausted and applications are stretched to their limits, more basic knowledge is needed to improve productivity.
Normally I don't think so and feel that life is just passing by, but now when I think about it more carefully, I feel that there are things I can never finish.
The sound of rain sounded, and the autumn rain still fell.
Zhang Yang put down his pen and looked at his son for a while, and he fell asleep again.
Now that I was no longer sleepy, I simply washed my face and opened the door, walked outside and stood under the eaves, looking at the rain all over the sky.
Xiao Wu and Aunt Yang also woke up.
The two aunts usually woke up very early, which also caused Xiao Wu to get up early. She washed herself up and her face became much smoother.
The rain was not heavy, and the drizzle made the dry land of Guanzhong moist. After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather came late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks.
In Chang'an City, we can't see the beautiful scenery described by Wang Wei in his poem "Dwelling in the Mountains in the Twilight of Autumn". We can't see the new rain on the empty mountains, nor can we see the bright moon among the pines.
In contrast, Zhang Yang prefers Han Yu's Tianjie Light Rain as moist as butter.
People all like spring. Spring symbolizes vitality and the prosperity of all things.
There is still some leftover meat and vegetables bought from the street yesterday, and I can still make breakfast today.
Li Yue also woke up early. She stretched out contentedly, "Are you going to Qujiang Pool today?"
"Well, let's go to Qujiang Pool today."
"I don't know if the fish in Qujiang Pond are fatter or not."
Auntie had already prepared an umbrella, and the family went out after breakfast.
Qujiang Pond was rarely visited by people on weekdays. Zhang Yang showed the guard here his token and learned that it was the County Marquis and Her Royal Highness the Princess who let him in.
Walking in here, taking a deep breath of the air here, Qujiang Pool is still very big, stretching thousands of meters across the river, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Fortunately, successive dynasties would encircle this place and regard it as the location of the royal garden.
Li Yue walked into the waterside pavilion in the pond holding a small umbrella.
Xiao Qingqing squatted by the pond and said happily: "Daddy, there is a fish!"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I know there are fish."
Xiao Wu stood aside worriedly, fearing that Xiao Qingqing would fall.
As soon as Xiao Qingqing's fingers touched the water, she giggled, as if a new world had opened up.
"Aunt Xiaowu, this fish is so beautiful."
"Yes." Xiao Wu also sat down and replied, "Master and teachers used to come here often. In fact, this place also belongs to master and his wife."
Xiao Qingqing opened her hands and said in surprise: "Does such a big pool belong to both parents?"
Xiao Wu nodded, "Master and Mistress are very powerful people. They negotiated with the emperor."
After that, she asked in a low voice: "Aunt Xiao Wu, is the emperor very powerful?"
"This..." Xiao Wu smiled helplessly, "The emperor is the emperor, and being an emperor does not necessarily mean being powerful."
As Xiao Wu narrated, the emperor's concept gradually supplemented his daughter's worldview.
Xiao Wu gave instructions and narration to his daughter, and Zhang Yang let her speak and let his own daughter listen.
Xiao Qingqing asked again: "Which one is more powerful, dad or the emperor?"
Xiao Wu still shook his head, "I don't know. It's just that the emperor has all the soldiers and horses in the world. His power is supreme. A word can determine life or death."
Xiao Qingqing turned around and said loudly: "Dad! I want to be the emperor."
Zhang Yang smiled heartily, "I'll wait until you learn how to write."
The little girl's nostrils flared slightly with anger, "Can't you become an emperor if you can't learn calligraphy?"
The aunt stretched out her hand to cover her mouth with her sleeves and chuckled. Girls rarely have big ambitions, at least this little princess had grandiose words about wanting to be the emperor.
Zhang Yang patiently explained to his daughter, "Being an emperor is very hard."
"Aunt Xiao Wu said that the emperor can decide life and death."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "The emperor can indeed decide life and death. Back then, the emperor had to bear the burden of the entire country and had to deal with many, many things every day. Moreover, the emperor could not just come to Qujiang Pool to play, nor could he eat whatever he wanted, such as Eat barbecue.”
Xiao Qingqing blinked, her big bright eyes full of doubts, "Really?"
Zhang Yang nodded solemnly.
Xiao Wu helped Li Yue light the stove and prepared to catch three or two fish.
The rain falling all over the sky fell on the water surface of Qujiang Pool. Listening to the sound of rain falling on the water surface, some rainwater drifted into this waterside pavilion.
The atmosphere here is very good. Compared with the smelly and messy Chang'an City, this is a paradise.
However, seeing the fallen leaves and some unknown debris piled up on both sides of Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang tried his best to avoid looking at them.
Xiao Qingqing was talking about the emperor. At this moment, in the Taiji Hall of the palace, the emperor Li Shimin was taking out the vegetables brought by Lishan to entertain the officials.
At this banquet, envoys from various countries were also invited.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
The banquet in the Taiji Hall was filled with a fierce wind. This was the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty. The majestic wind made people dare not look directly at it. When the officials shouted, several envoys on the side shivered.
The drinks he drank were also spirits brought by Lishan.
Although Lishan's wine is considered to be run by the court, the food costs are all paid by the court, and Lishan is only involved in brewing.
Li Lizhi sat with her younger brothers and sisters. As the emperor's legitimate daughter, she could only sit behind the queen and watch her father drink so heavily.
What the father didn't know was that the drinks had already been recorded in the account by the emperor's sister when they left Lishan.
The dishes in front of them made it difficult for the younger siblings to pick up chopsticks.
The food in Lishan is delicious. My brother-in-law can always cook some novel food to taste delicious. My brothers and sisters all rush to eat the soup made from peas.
In this way, their tastes have become much more sophisticated. It has only been two days since they returned to the palace, and food is a big problem.
Not to mention the novel fruits and vegetables brought out by Lishan, such as the vat beans in front of me. They were obviously just boiled in hot water and sprinkled with some salt.
The taste in the mouth was very bland, and Li Lizhi even suspected that it was undercooked.
Gao Yang said distressedly: "Am I losing weight?"
Li Lizhi smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Huang will cook for you later. I learned some cooking skills from my aunt in Lishan."
Li Zhi said with a drooped face, "Well, I miss my brother-in-law. What is he doing now?"
Li Shimin, who was congratulating the ministers with a smile on his face, heard the conversation between his daughter and his son behind him, and his expression was stunned for a moment before returning to the same state.
This time the ministers were invited to the fruits and vegetables grown in Taifu Temple, and there will be more fruits and vegetables in autumn.
It's a pity that the grapes in Lishan are only a short-lived flower in summer. The season has passed and they can't be planted now.
With this autumn rain, the climate in Guanzhong changed very quickly. Sitting in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin could even feel the coolness brought by the wind blowing into the hall.
After a banquet, Li Shimin and the Ministry of Household Affairs also decided to give Taifu Temple the right to allocate some acres of land. Tang Shanshi, who had been promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs, always insisted that the share of land acres could not be changed, and Lishan could allow villagers to open up more fields for planting. Vegetables, but cannot occupy the original acres.
After Tang Jian was sent back to his hometown after being in trouble, Tang Jian's son Tang Shanshi stayed behind.
After all, Tang Shanshi was also a consort and married Princess Yuzhang.
Although Princess Yuzhang is not a legitimate daughter, she has been raised by Empress Changsun since she was a child. Everyone also understands that the Tang family is no longer what it was before because of Tang Jian's affairs, but Tang Shanshi can still be promoted in the court, not because of his surrender. Changsun Wuji.
After the banquet dispersed, Li Shimin also returned to Ganlu Hall. The autumn rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Empress Changsun was sitting in the warm palace, knitting clothes for the children, "I will also make clothes for that little Qingqing. The child has grown very fast and is now almost as tall as Si Zi."
It's just that her health is not good, so she has to be prepared to catch cold.
Not as strong as Xiao Qingqing.
Queen Changsun's health was also not as good as before.
Li Shimin said solemnly: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, let Dr. Sun take a look at Mingda's body."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "It is better to raise Sizi in Lishan, so that Divine Doctor Sun can take care of him."
"This child has been with me since she was a child. Can she be safe and sound if she goes to Lishan?"
"She is accompanied by so many royal brothers and sisters."
Empress Changsun emphasized again.
No one wants their children to leave their side, including the emperor and empress.
Lishan Mountain is not far away, only a day's journey back and forth. Li Shimin coughed twice and drank a sip of tea after being out of breath, "Follow them to Lishan Mountain after autumn and winter."
Queen Changsun nodded slowly.
Not long after, Gao Yang and Li Zhi passed by the door having fun. Little Sizi was attracted by the laughter and wanted to play with the emperor brother and sisters even with her short legs.
Li Junxian hurriedly walked into the palace, "Your Majesty, a secret report from Liaodong."
Li Shimin nodded vigorously and said: "Send it up."
"Here."
A secret report was placed in front of him. Li Shimin opened the memorial and looked at the contents, "Hearing a thunder, the city gate burst open, rubble was not included, the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, everything within ten steps was blown to pieces, there was no need to attack, the fortified city was as if it was nothing. "
After reading this memorial, Li Shimin frowned, "What is this?"
Li Junxian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please compare the secret report sent from the Western Regions at the beginning of the year."
Hearing this, Li Shimin gave Wang Eunuch a look, and Wang Eunuch took out a roll of cloth from the hidden compartment of the cabinet. After opening it, there was a secret report from the Western Regions.
"Hearing the sound of thunder, the river embankment burst, and three hundred thousand cannibals fled in all directions. Wang Xuance flanked them and killed them..."
Comparing both sides, there was a sound of thunder.
Because of the war in Persia at that time, many informants were in the Western Regions, so these informants also relayed other people's words and sent news.
The secret report from Liaodong was sent by Liaodong's cronies.
Li Junxian replied: "Your Majesty, the person who sent the secret message is in the Wei Mansion. Do you want to summon him for a confrontation? I see that the description is consistent with the vision in the night sky that year. They are all gunpowder smoke. I initially suspected Lishan, but there is no evidence otherwise." Easy to identify.”
The prince lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Shimin just looked at him suspiciously, and then focused on Li Junxian, "How many people know about this matter?"
"Your Majesty, at present, only the general, the person who sent the message, and the three informants from Liaodong are the only ones. Zhang Da'an and Li Yifu are very careful in their work, hiding it from everyone. This secret report was sent after several turns."
Not to mention Li Yifu, Zhang Daan is also a capable person.
Li Shimin said solemnly: "I want to know everything about the original attack on Goguryeo."
Li Junxian bowed respectfully and said: "There is a letter coming from Liaodong. I will definitely intercept it first and present it to Your Majesty."
"Very well, please step aside. There is no need to speak to others about this matter."
"Here."
Li Junxian bowed and retreated.
Li Shimin looked gloomy, "What else is this kid hiding from me?"
Knowing that His Majesty was in a bad mood after listening to the report, Queen Changsun left because she was not happy with the political affairs.
"What is Zhang Yang doing when he returns to Chang'an City?"
The prince said in a low voice: "Back to your majesty, now the county prince and his family are relaxing in Qujiang Pool."
The prince will never lie about the things His Majesty wants to ask. There are some things that you cannot lie about, but you can remain silent.
Afterwards, he followed His Majesty and left the Ganlu Hall. Li Shimin took the oil-paper umbrella, which was sent by Qingque from Lishan Mountain. The umbrella was very useful, as the creations of Lishan Mountain were always very good.
