"Then these files can be sorted out in the afternoon."
The files of Taifu Temple are very important. Whoever can master the information of the land will master the cultivation, including the impact of different soil and water in different places on crops under environmental changes.
Mastering land cultivation is a huge wealth. This wealth is right in front of you. If Lishan masters it, he can have a greater say in farming.
The emperor is a person who cannot see the subtleties. He does not know the huge value of land planning, nor does he know the huge benefits that can be brought by mastering production and farming.
The reason is actually very simple. If the emperor wants a good harvest of certain crops this year, he must follow the arrangements of Taifu Temple, how to plan which fields, and which paddy fields are suitable for planting what.
Meteorology, water and soil, and crops are the current focus and goals of Taifu Temple.
Zhang Yang also wanted to dig out several canals that would be used for irrigation in later generations based on the Zheng Guo Canal.
Considering the amount of work, these matters can only be put on hold when Taifu Temple does not have such a big say.
The Great Northwest needs construction. People have not seen how far the environment in the Great Northwest has deteriorated in later generations.
What a great northwest. The 800-mile-long Qinchuan River should be a place where water and grass are always abundant.
After changing clothes, my wife was frowning and looking at her, "Well, this one looks more friendly."
Zhang Yang said with emotion: "Daughter-in-law, your husband is the only one in the world who is considering the livelihood of thousands of people and building the great cause of the Northwest."
Li Yue frowned and joked: "No matter how big the deal is, it's better to handle this New Year's Eve right now."
A very down-to-earth sentence and a very pertinent sentence.
Her words were like a basin of cold water, and she was also telling you that you should not say your big words so early. You can't manage just a few acres of land in Guanzhong, but you still want to build the Northwest?
Sighing in frustration, Zhang Yang sat down again and let his wife arrange her hair.
The former magistrate, who was simply dressed in simple clothes and had an unkempt bun, had a different temperament after some grooming.
From a country man in the past, he has now become a rather majestic county prince, a little less handsome and a little more prudent, a little less scornful and a little serious.
Li Yue looked at it pleasantly and said, "My husband is already tall, so it's worth my trouble to make such a dress."
After cleaning up for her husband, she changed her clothes.
The couple walked out of the house together with their son in their arms. The wife was wearing a light blue dress and the husband was wearing a black and gray robe.
When the two of them walked down the mountain, the villagers at the foot of the mountain saluted.
The villagers of Lishan have high respect for the couple in front of them and are extremely grateful.
It was Her Royal Highness the Princess and the County Marquis who made Lishan rich. Until now, those children have grown up. Every time they have a full meal, they will salute to Lishan and thank the County Marquis and Her Highness the Princess for the prosperity they have brought to Lishan.
Her Royal Highness the Princess and the County Marquis are the greatest cohesion point of Lishan, let alone His Royal Highness the King of Wei who dares to collide with the officers and soldiers for Lishan.
As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess and the county princes raise their arms, they can even rise up and rebel.
All the villagers, men, women, old and young, bowed and saluted, not daring to look at the two most distinguished people on Lishan Mountain.
The whole village seemed to be quiet at this moment.
There are not so many tables in Lishan, only large round tables put together, and everyone sits around them.
The couple walked towards Li Yuan's table. Zhang Yang stopped for a moment and gave Niu Chuang a look.
After Niu Chuang understood, he shouted loudly: "Sit down! Eat!"
Wow! Only then did more than three hundred villagers sit down together, talking and laughing again.
After listening to these movements, Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction, finally feeling a bit like human fireworks.
Three or five children sat at a small table. They all closed their eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Thank you to the Marquis and the Princess for giving me such wealth. I hope the Marquis and the Princess can grow old together and be free from illness and pain throughout their lives. Stay healthy and enjoy all the blessings in this world.”
As they spoke, the three children looked at their parents aside. Only when the elders nodded could they eat.
This year's New Year's Eve was hosted by two aunts, and the dishes were more abundant than in previous years. This was also due to the development of Taifu Temple this year.
Although there are not many vegetables that can be preserved, there is enough for everyone to enjoy.
Li Yue, Princess Wei, Chu Mo's wife, and his wife sat at the same table.
Li Tai became Lishan's chef. He said loudly: "Brother-in-law, all these dishes are cooked by me and my guards."
Li Yuan first ate a piece of fatty pork and nodded: "Qingque's craftsmanship is indeed better."
Zhang Yang looked at him suspiciously, "Your Highness, King Wei, you stopped making things after you got married and became a cook instead?"
"Brother-in-law, I was joking. I watched the Lishan factory being built and how prosperous Lishan was. How could I not know where our foundation lies? I personally did the factory renovation. Although I didn't look at the drawings, I was able to arrange the before and after matters."
Compared to Li Tai, being silent is much easier. He is now guarding the wine shop.
There were acquaintances at the dinner table. Zhang Yang raised his glass and said, "We congratulate Lishan Mountain and congratulate the Tang Dynasty!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
I haven't drank alcohol for a long time. Since the opening of a wine shop in the village, strong liquor has been available, and the strong liquor can't help but taste spicy.
In addition to toasting Li Yuan, Zhang Yang also wanted to toast Yan Liben. If his daughter marries the King of Wei, she can visit Lishan more often.
Zhang Yang poured him some wine and said in a low voice: "Master Yan, we in Lishan are relatively simple and not as luxurious as the banquets in the palace. I hope you don't take it personally."
New Year's Eve was held on the main road in the village. Although the northwest wind was cold, the villagers were very enthusiastic.
In addition to toasting the Emperor, Li Tai also had to curry favor with his father-in-law.
So Zhang Yang and Li Tai sat on either side of Yan Liben and talked to him together.
Yan Liben couldn't refuse his hospitality, "Marquis of the County, Your Highness the King of Wei! I can't drink anymore. I have to go to the palace for a banquet at night."
Li Tai continued to pour him wine, "Don't worry, even if you don't go to the Tai Chi Palace for the banquet, my father will not blame you."
After the wine was poured into the bowl, Zhang Yang clinked the wine bowl with him and said, "Master Yan, you're welcome. We have plenty of wine in Lishan, so don't be restrained. Just treat this place as your own home."
Hearing this, Yan Liben's face turned bitter, but he still drank the wine in the bowl.
After just taking a sip, he saw His Highness the King of Wei pouring wine into the bowl again. He quickly said: "The King of Wei must not pour any more wine."
Li Tai still insisted on filling his bowl with wine and whispered: "Master Yan doesn't know something. The more we drink Lishan's wine, the more flavorful it becomes."
Cheng Chumo received Zhang Yang's look and said sternly, "That's right. Master Yan should drink more."
Having said that, Cheng Chumo also made a toast.
Yan Liben couldn't bear the enthusiasm of these three juniors, so he could only drink it with a grimace.
Li Tai whispered: "We are going to build an academy in Lishan in the near future. We have already discussed it with Weinan and Lantian counties. The location and money are ready. I have been a little troubled recently. There is no shortage of anything at the moment, but the shortage of manpower." .”
Hearing this, Yan Liben looked a little more cautious, "With Lishan's current financial resources, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit people."
Li Shan is not short of money, and even Li Tai now has a rich family. In addition to giving 60% of his own money every month to his mother to take care of the palace, even if Li Shan pays dividends to him every year, now the fat man has accumulated A small family fortune of about one hundred thousand guan.
Even if the fat man built an academy with his own financial resources, he would not have any pressure.
Yan Liben whispered: "Why must Lishan build an academy?"
Li Tai smiled heartily, "For the sake of technology, some people build academies for the sake of scholars, and some people build academies to recruit students, but Lishan is different. Lishan builds academies for technology and inheritance."
Yan Liben became even more confused after hearing these words. He didn't know if he was drunk or not, "So you opened this academy to mislead the students?"
If you don't study for the purpose of becoming a Jinshi, you will mislead your children. This is a common understanding among many people.
Zhang Yang coughed and said again: "Master Yan has misunderstood. If a person wants to stand on his own, he must have a skill, whether he is a cook or a craftsman, or he is good at drawing, building, farming, making clothes... "
"These are all necessary for people's lives. At first, Guizhou could only farm, but there was no way to become an official. Later, people could become an official, but this road was not easy. If there were still many choices, they could be a cook. You can be a craftsman or a blacksmith. Although they are both inconspicuous jobs, you can still bring yourself plenty of food and clothing through labor."
Li Tai nodded and immediately agreed: "That's right."
Listening to King Wei and his brother-in-law singing in harmony in front of him, Yan Liben's vigilance gradually disappeared, "So, Lishan won't follow the path of the aristocratic family?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "The children of Lishan will not enter the court and become officials. All the training and training in Lishan are for production and construction. When we build such an academy, we have never thought about official careers, but to provide services to thousands of ordinary people." A place where you can learn something and put it to use.”
"As for students, we select young people over the age of fifteen. Ordinary academies usually start with children or people with basic knowledge in order to be able to obtain Jinshi. However, since our academy does not aim to obtain Jinshi, there are not so many. Harsh requirements.”
Li Tai clinked the wine bowls with Yan Liben again and said, "You have misunderstood Lishan. If a descendant of Lishan does not enter the official career, at most he will be a wealthy family, and he will not become a noble family."
As long as Lishan does not train officials, Lishan will be the safest.
Yan Li originally thought that Lishan opened the academy to recruit disciples, but it seemed that Lishan had already planned this.
People have to make choices. Since Lishan wants to be rich, he cannot have his children become officials. In this way, both the court and your majesty will think that Lishan is a harmless place.
Thinking that Zhang Yang is an extremely intelligent person and would not recruit scholars when His Majesty is determined to restrict the family, it makes sense.
Li Tai said coyly: "I definitely don't need Master Yan's help in this matter."
Yan Liben finally relaxed.
Li Tai smiled and said: "We at Lishan can handle it ourselves. Don't worry, we won't trouble the Yan family."
As he said this, Li Tai's cunning side was undoubtedly revealed, but Yan Liben, an honest man, did not feel it.
His daughter is already married to the King of Wei, what else can Yan Liben do?
When Li Tai encounters difficulties, Yan Liben will come to help Li Shan.
I have to say that the fat man now speaks with confidence, and his Taoism has improved a lot. In the past few years, he has only been busy with the casting of Lishan, and he has also practiced a lot on weekdays?
Yan Liben stroked his beard and said, "If His Royal Highness the King of Wei is short of manpower, I can still help one or two craftsmen."
"Don't say that. You and I are a family. How can I ask you to help? I have always said that I am the same. If I don't need your help, there is no need for the Yan family to help."
Listen, listen to these words... Zhang Yang secretly sighed in his heart, don't you think Li Tai's words are contradictory?
Human spirits are human spirits, and this fat man was as shrewd as ever. He even found a way out for himself and blocked Yan Liben's escape.
If Yan Liben really provided craftsmen to help Lishan, maybe those craftsmen would never come back.
Zhang Yang looked at the table again. Cheng Chumo didn't know where he was. He glanced around and saw that he and Li Xiaogong were sitting together at some point, holding a wine jar and pouring wine into their mouths.
Not far away, Li Chongyi was cheering, and the three brothers Elephant Dasu and Daan also came to visit the teacher. All the people who were supposed to come came at once.
Zhang Yang stood up and walked aside, and then heard Li Yue say, "The drinks at this year's New Year's Eve banquet are all from Chumo's family."
Zhang Yang whispered back: "Don't their drinks come from Lishan?"
"We will still have to pay off the debt in the future. That Chu Mo's wife is doing quite well and is a person who knows how to plan..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Mo dropped the wine jar, and his wife whipped up, "You idiot! Die!"
The whip was swung, and Cheng Chumo quickly dodged.
His wife scolded angrily: "A wine jar costs five cents, and my family has such little money! Why should I throw it at you!"
The couple ran and chased each other while yelling and cursing.
Zhang Yang watched with compassion as the whip landed on Cheng Chumo's back. In this world, one thing always falls on another.
Just after noon, the village was bustling with activity, and the couple sat on the mountainside, taking in a panoramic view of this magnificent scene in the world.
Aunt Wang handed over a roll of letters with sealing wax and said: "This is a letter from Fan Yang, Marquis of the County."
After receiving the letter, Zhang Yang took a closer look and saw that it was from Pei Xuanji. There was no news about him for a long time after he ran away. The letter was about a murder case. There was a traitor among the anti-world family members he recruited. He had been studying hard for ten years in Hanchuang. The people actually became the accomplices of the noble family.
Fortunately, this incident has little impact. He will handle things more carefully and recruit people more carefully in the future.
After also talking about his progress this year, Zhang Yang put away the letter and continued to sit here with his wife, just looking at the two of them for a long time.
Li Yue whispered: "There are still many things to do in the coming year."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If you say so, there are some things that we will never be able to accomplish in this life."
Looking sideways at her husband, she whispered: "What else does your husband want to do in this life?"
The cool north wind blew by, rustling the pine forests in the mountains.
Zhang Yang thought for a long time, then smiled in relief, without answering, smiling a little silly.
