This is the ethos of the Tang Dynasty. The civil servants and military generals are all tough and straightforward.
Zhang Yang also felt that he was infected by them. I am also a straightforward and courageous person. It is just a misunderstanding of the world that I am good at using conspiracy and tricks.
This house is not far from Li Yuan's residence, separated by a few steps, one in front of the other.
This arrangement was also intentional by Li Yue, although many things about Wude Chao were kept secret when discussed.
Judging from the daughter-in-law's arrangements, she still hopes that everyone can resolve the grudges of the past.
After all, it's all over.
Li Yue responded with a gentle smile, and Zhang Yang held her hand and walked home, asking the two aunts to arrange daily necessities for General Li Jing and his wife.
Xiao Qingqing still doesn't know what kind of hard training she will face in the future, and she still looks careless.
Some hurdles are difficult to overcome.
There are reasons why some words cannot be spoken.
Zhang Yang doesn't want to break Li Yue's yearning for good things for everyone, because this yearning is the source of happiness.
What she didn't tell her was that there were many things in this world that were just a hurdle that she couldn't overcome.
Everyone enjoys family fun.
But not all homes are so beautiful.
Reality is still reality, and longing is still longing.
My wife’s original intentions are still good.
The family returned to Lishan, and the younger brother and sister were doing homework under the supervision of Li Lizhi. They went to the palace for a month and left a lot of homework, which they had to make up.
The couple sat by the Huaqing Pool.
Li Yue was about to make clothes for her son Xin'an, when she saw her husband looking at the scroll and whispered: "Do you want to know what happened in the past?"
His eyes still fell on the scroll, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "General Zhang told you a lot about the past?"
"Well, I told you about Princess Ping Zhaoyang, and that I was entrusted to the care of the queen, and my two aunts were with me."
When Li Shimin launched a mutiny at Xuanwumen, it seemed that the fate of many people was connected to that day.
Zhang Yang turned over a page in the book and said, "If you tell me, I will listen. If you don't tell me, I won't ask."
Not long after, the two aunts came back.
The couple kept silent in a tacit understanding.
General Li Jing's two sons stayed in Chang'an City and were taken care of by servants at home.
The general and Hongfunu lived in Lishan, and now they are ready to live.
Aunt Yang also talked about Hongfu's illness, saying that she accompanied General Li Jing in his expedition to Lingnan to suppress the rebellion of Fugong Er. At that time, Hongfu's illness fell into the army and she had been ill for many years.
Aunt Wang came in a hurry, "Marquis of the County, the Prince of Hejian County is here."
Zhang Yang then put down the book in his hand and invited the people in.
Li Xiaogong was sitting on the steps at the entrance to the mountain. He frowned and said, "Why is the pharmacist here?"
Zhang Yang sat on one side with his hands folded, "Wouldn't it be good for the general to come to Lishan?"
"Pharmacist..." Li Xiaogong clicked his tongue and said: "Others don't know, but I can't understand. Since the battle at Yinshan, there have been many conflicts between the pharmacist, His Majesty and the court. Now that the pharmacist comes to Lishan, your position will be different." unfavorable."
"That's not right..." Zhang Yang looked back and saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "It is His Majesty's wish that the general come to Lishan for medical treatment."
Just saying this, Zhang Yang understood immediately and cursed angrily: "It's all a plot. Your Majesty has been plotting against me until now."
Li Xiaogong said with a bitter face, "How do you think your kid has changed? How come you are so annoying to everyone."
Zhang Yang said unhappily: "I have a mortal body. I can also get sick and grow a beard. What do you think has changed me?"
Li Xiaogong hesitated to speak, "It is said that I went to the south with Li Jing to suppress the rebellion. At that time, we fought from Danyang to Kuaiji. The battle against Fu Gong'er was really a hard battle. We captured Danyang, attacked Dangtu, and encountered Liangshan Iron Suo Hengjiang, I was really scared when I think back to that time."
"Is that a hard battle?"
Li Xiaogong nodded, "The soldiers used in the imperial court are all soldiers from Guanzhong and Hebei. After going to the south, many of them are not accustomed to the acclimatization, and their combat strength has been reduced by 30%."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "I understand, this is like the Battle of Chibi, where Cao Jun attacked Jiangdong, but General Li Jing won the battle of the Tang Dynasty."
"You don't know something. In fact, there are not many soldiers and horses in the south, and the Fugong'er rebels only number 30,000. Although this battle was won, it also cost many of our soldiers. Even though this battle was won, it was like Even if you lose, the most difficult thing is to win back people's hearts later. Every time you go to a place, you have to put up notices to calm the people and refuse to defend."
Listening to Li Xiaogong talk about the past, Zhang Yang was more concerned about Li Shimin's meaning.
From a standpoint, Li Shimin must have believed in Li Jing. After seeing the power of firearms, Li Shimin must have more ideas.
There will also be more defenses against Lishan.
The emperor can use many people and manipulate the fate of many people.
It was originally a good thing for Li Jing to bring Hongfu Nu to Lishan for medical treatment, but from Li Shimin's point of view, and hearing the reminder from the King of Hejian County, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
Being an emperor is indeed not a good thing.
After saying that, Li Xiaogong stood up and left in a hurry.
Zhang Yang asked in confusion: "In your hometown, is there soup in the pot?"
He looked anxious, "I went to see if the rope on the beam was still there. Every time I saw the rope, I would always warn me, so that if anything big happens in the future, I would hang myself first to apologize."
Watching him leave in distress, Zhang Yang suddenly smiled.
When it comes to living an open-minded life, it is really not as good as the Prince of Hejian.
In the evening, Zhang Yang was still busy in his laboratory. Since the general wanted to see firearms, he first built two big firecrackers for him.
The laboratory has no windows and is surrounded by solid walls.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sun was no longer shining on Lishan Mountain. Zhang Yang came out of the laboratory and took a good bath.
The water in Huaqing Pool is very cold in autumn, which is perfect for Zhang Yang to take a bath.
Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Sizi were still sitting together playing puzzles.
Zhang Yang placed a wooden board on the water, then lay on it, placing his hands on the back of his head and looking at the sky.
Watching the sky turn from blue to as dark as ink.
It's like thick ink coming from the east, darkening the sky from east to west.
When the night wind blew, Zhang Yang felt the chill. He swam to the shore and got up and went back to the house to change into clean clothes.
After having dinner with my brothers and sisters, I still had to deal with matters at Taifu Temple.
The Menxia Province has sent memorials on the measurement of fields after the autumn harvest in various places. It is necessary to have a good understanding of the situation of fields in various places. These fields will change every year.
After comparing these years, Zhang Yang found that the acres of high-yielding fields in Guanzhong are gradually declining, but the grain output of a single mu of fields is increasing year by year.
This is a very interesting phenomenon. The number of cultivated fields is indeed decreasing in the general direction, but the yield of the remaining acres is higher than in previous years.
Li Yue's expression was very depressed, "The pumpkin still hasn't grown, and the vine of the fruit has withered."
Zhang Yang consoled him: "It doesn't matter, we have pumpkin seeds, and we can plant a lot of pumpkins next year."
When she has nothing to do, she will also read the memorials sent by the court, "Is it true that the return of farmland that your husband said is feasible?"
Zhang Yang circled a few more places on the map in the direction of Longyou. "This is a very large project. We can start with the barren land. The land in Guanzhong is becoming more barren year by year, and the yellow sand in the northwest is once again After this invasion, we have to do something."
Both husband and wife have their own persistence, even if this persistence is unrealistic and full of absurdity.
Li Yue hopes that all relatives and friends can put aside their past grudges and have a happy family.
Zhang Yang hopes to put the afforestation plan on the agenda starting from the Tang Dynasty, so that the yellow sand in the northwest will no longer invade Guanzhong, and the desertification of the northwest land will be contained in the early Tang Dynasty. He hopes that future generations will continue to afforestation.
Transform the northwest land into a land of lush water and grass.
Sometimes, Zhang Yang felt that he was the only one in the Tang Dynasty who was worrying about the country and the people, and he was the only one who insisted on benefiting the Tang Dynasty.
Although it will be very difficult to implement afforestation.
For example, Li Yue wants the general and Hongfu Nu to put aside their past entanglements.
Someone has to insist, someone has to speak out first.
Li Yue walked outside the house and continued to discuss things with Xiaohui, still about tea.
In order to grow tea, Li Yue gave her the official seal of Taifu Temple last time.
This time, Li Yue imitated her husband's handwriting and wrote a document and asked Xiaohui to arrange for someone to send it to Jiangnan East Road.
And this kind of thing has been going on for a while, Zhang Yang still pretended not to know.
Li Jing and Hongfu Nu lived in Lishan for three or two days, and became accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. There is a tradition in Lishan that all ordinary people who reach middle age or older people must get up early to follow Dr. Sun. Do Tai Chi.
This slow and leisurely boxing technique is very interesting, and Hongfu Nu and Li Jing both like it.
This is a different way to maintain health and fitness.
In order to prevent the general from saying that Lishan made firearms like a hen laying eggs, Zhang Yang still had to bite the bullet and made two more big firecrackers.
The firecrackers are very big, and the bamboo tubes are as thick as human thighs, which is perfect for blowing things up.
Hanging two large bamboo tubes on his shoulders, Li Jing said curiously: "This is the city-breaking weapon you mentioned."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "That's right."
The general took the two bamboo tubes and looked at them carefully, "Is this the bamboo tube?"
Thinking that there was something strange inside the bamboo tube, he shook the bamboo tube to try to hear the movement inside.
Zhang Yang smiled and explained: "Actually, many things in this world are simple, not as difficult as we think. As long as we master the secret recipe for such a city-breaking thing, it all starts with a rabbit."
"That's all, I don't eat rabbit meat." Li Jing immediately interrupted the tirade he was about to say.
"That's right. Eating rabbit meat for a long time is not good for your health."
Many creations since ancient times came from coincidence, just like Newton's idea of gravity when he was hit by an apple.
Zhang Yang even suspected that there had been explosives in the Central Plains for a long time, but the alchemists thought it was a sign of failure in alchemy.
Well, that's probably the case...
"How to use this thing?"
The general finally spoke. Zhang Yang walked with his hands in his hands and led him to the printing factory in the village.
Because the steam engine will be connected, the factory will have to be rebuilt in the future, so the factory building that was originally going to be demolished has now been emptied.
The imperial court did not understand printing. Most of the time, they just took paper and wrote, mostly by hand.
This was a very helpless situation. Even if movable type printing was used, it would not attract the emperor's attention. They were already accustomed to handwriting, and many people did not have the concept of movable type printing.
In the future, sufficient printing efficiency will be required, so Zhang Yang also thought about designing a typewriter, just like the old typewriter in the Middle Ages, but it was limited to radicals and radicals, and was more complicated.
If you really want to design it, the complicated radicals should be arranged in a grid, with an area about the same as a wall. That will be arranged later. For now, let the general see the firecrackers.
After burying the firecrackers under the wall, Zhang Yang lit the fuse and said, "General, please take a few steps back with me."
Li Jing stepped back as he was told and watched from a distance as the fuse burned into the bamboo tube and wisps of white smoke came out of the bamboo tube.
Zhang Yang motioned for him to cover his ears.
Li Jing did not follow the instructions with a straight face. The middle-aged cool uncle had his hands in front of him and showed no expression.
There was only one explosion and smoke filled the air.
Zhang Yang then released his hands covering his ears, "What do you think, General?"
Li Jing patted his still buzzing ears, "Yeah, it's very loud."
Then he saw that the wall was intact and said, "Is this the bankruptcy weapon you mentioned?"
Seeing this, Zhang Yang also scratched his head, blaming Niu Chuang and the others for repairing the house too strong, so it didn't collapse after the explosion.
Simply burying the cannon again, the two of them stood not far away, waiting for the explosion.
This time Li Jing finally covered his ears.
There was another explosion, and the entire wall collapsed.
Zhang Yang explained: "If once is not enough, just put in two. If two is not enough, just put in a few more and it will always explode."
This time, Li Jing was finally moved, "Green brick walls are the strongest. If they can be blown up like this, I think it will take many explosions to blow up the city wall."
The general's understanding ability is pretty good, at least he can think of the difference between many times and one time.
It's a pleasure to be understood.
Not everyone is as disappointed as the emperor. Li Shimin was indifferent when he saw movable type printing. Not everything can attract the ancients.
Although movable type printing was very good, it was not of such great value to the emperor.
But the effect of the firecrackers was immediate.
After one wall collapsed, the factory building was crumbling. A gust of wind blew and the entire wall collapsed.
Li Jing was very pleased. Li Shimin's narration was in advance. He didn't look shocked. He finally smiled a little and said, "Why do you look so depressed?"
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and sighed solemnly, "In order to demonstrate the use of this thing to the general, so many green bricks were blown up. These green bricks can still be used after being dismantled. It's a pity."
"If the Tang Dynasty could have such a powerful weapon to destroy the city, it would be nothing more than a few bricks."
It would really be no pity if Li Tai could marry Yan Liben's daughter and thus bring a big help to the construction of Lishan.
She was the Minister of Industry, the daughter of a family of craftsmen, with first-class resources and technology.
I actually started looking forward to the fat man getting married.
Li Jing was still immersed in the reverberation of the explosion just now, "Is there more? Explode a few more times."
