Li Shimin continued to look at the records in the file, "You want to plant grapes in April?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "The grape vines are all sent from Gaochang. Let's not talk about the survival rate. It takes time to cultivate. According to our experience last year, we need to start planting in April and see how the yield is. Your Majesty The cultivation you see does not mean formal planting."
"How can I see it?"
"Crops outside Guanzhong must first be familiar with the soil in Guanzhong, and then they can consider the effectiveness of planting. It does not mean that they can grow as long as the seeds are sown. These are two different things."
Li Shimin said solemnly: "If Lishan can really grow hundreds of acres of grapes, wouldn't it mean that we would get rich again?"
"Your Majesty is joking. Farming is not like setting up a factory. You can set the threshold for technology. Farming is what the Central Plains people are best at. As long as the Lishan family can grow grapes, there will be others who will grow more grapes."
Zhang Yang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Lishan's goal is to bring fruits and vegetables into thousands of households, not to enrich his own pockets. The people of Guanzhong need these, and the children must be strong." Children are inseparable from nutritional supplements, and children cannot be healthy without these fruits and vegetables. Didn’t Your Majesty realize that?”
"What did you find?"
"The princes and princesses rarely get sick in Lishan, and the younger brothers and sisters with poor health are getting better and better. This is inseparable from food, and we villagers in Lishan rarely have stomach upsets. Children are also stronger than children elsewhere.”
"There is so much evidence that living habits and dietary conditions are very important to health. The teacher said that the work of Taifu Temple is related to the livelihood of the Tang people. I have such an important responsibility, how dare I neglect it."
…
I talked a lot with the emperor and said a lot, but I don’t know how much he could listen to.
The work of Taifu Temple and the governance of this vast northwest area are top priorities.
Dongyang was asked to talk to Li Shimin about the withdrawal of farmland, and now the emperor didn't mention it at all. It's really abominable.
The daughter came to the house on a bicycle, "Dad, I heard Uncle Jin Wang talking about Chengtianmen."
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "What happened to Chengtianmen?"
Xiao Qingqing shook her head and said: "My daughter doesn't understand either. She said she has been washing Chengtianmen and has to wash it every few days."
Zhang Yang wrote lightly: "Maybe your grandpa Tian Khan has been clean lately?"
"Well, this little car is not easy to ride. It's not as big as a bear."
"Daddy will give you a good correction when you have time."
"Um."
The daughter nodded heavily, left her car and left.
What did he do to cleanse Chengtianmen? Zhang Yang thought for a moment and felt that the matter was not important, so he quickly forgot about it.
"County Marquis, the items from the blacksmith's shop have arrived."
Zhang Yang walked out of the study after hearing this. There was a disk-shaped part in front of him, which was the site of the primer device.
Li Zhi, Gao Yang and Qinghe watched their brother-in-law walk into the laboratory door.
"Is my brother-in-law turning into a baby again?"
"Let's go take a look." Gao Yang bravely walked to the laboratory. When he came to the door, he found that the door could not be pushed open.
This door only has a bolt on the inside. Once the inside is locked, outsiders cannot get in.
Li Zhi looked up. The only window that could see the inside was the window at the top of the eaves.
The three of them are all small and can't reach them at all, not even the imperial sister, let alone children like them.
Li Zhi jumped and tried, but still couldn't reach the window sill of the eaves. The three children looked up at the windows of the eaves and were stunned for a while.
Finally, they compromised and sat neatly at the door, lost in thought.
After a while, I heard a noise coming from the laboratory, like something exploding.
Gao Yang was the smartest among the three. Gao Yang immediately put his ear to the door and listened for a while. It seemed like there was an explosion. Then his eyes were filled with curiosity, and he knocked on the door and asked, "Brother-in-law! What's going on inside?"
"fine!"
Voices came from inside the house.
Gao Yang put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, I just heard something ringing inside."
There were a few more metallic banging sounds in the laboratory, and then the door of the laboratory opened, and he looked at his brother-in-law wrapping something in black cloth.
Zhang Yang also lowered his head and looked at Gao Yang who was standing at the door, "What are you doing?"
"Waiting for brother-in-law."
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
"Brother-in-law is turning into a baby in the laboratory without us."
"Where is the treasure? Why didn't I know about it?" Zhang Yang glanced back unconsciously, then wrapped his parts in black cloth and left calmly.
Li Zhi and Qinghe quickly ran into the laboratory, where they could only smell the smell of saltpeter.
Qinghe looked around and saw that there was nothing except a few stones. She smelled it again, with a somewhat alert look on her face, "Brother-in-law used saltpeter again."
Gao Yang whispered: "Could it be that my brother-in-law's treasure was made of saltpeter?"
Children's imagination is very rich, and this imagination comes from listening to Li Yue telling stories in the library.
Zhang Yang came to his workshop with the primer device. Because it had just exploded, there was still some residual heat in the primer port. He picked up the wooden tweezers he made and carefully took out a thin slice from the inside.
I frowned and observed the internal structure, then fixed the screw sleeve. It took five days to complete the primer device.
After having the previous experience of making primers for flintlock guns and earth mines, it was much smoother to make the primer device for artillery.
Different amounts of gunpowder are used, and the endurance of the primer is also different. The high temperature generated during combustion can easily cause the chamber to explode.
Through the test explosion in the laboratory, Zhang Yang found that the spring was still intact, and he was relieved.
I feel very good now that the primer is finished, and all I have to do next is mass production.
The next morning, Zhang Yang asked his aunt to take the remaining drawings of the artillery to the blacksmith shop, poured himself a cup of tea, took out the rice cake hidden by his wife, roasted it briefly, and tasted it patiently.
When Li Yue and Xiao Hui came out of the library and saw their husband eating rice cakes, they immediately quickened their pace and said, "This is a gift from my mother, and she stole my cakes..."
Zhang Yang handed her another piece, "You want to try it too?"
Seeing that the teacher was angry and helpless towards the master, Xiaohui stood aside and covered her mouth with a smile.
Li Yue ate one piece by herself, gave another piece to Xiaohui, and then distributed it to her younger brothers and sisters. She finished the rice cakes sent by the palace.
Xiaohui whispered: "Teacher, I also have rice cakes in my hometown. I just need to arrange for people to send more. It's spring now, so I can only wait until next year."
While the family was eating, Li Shimin came again. This time he brought a memorial, "Someone is impeaching your Taifu Temple."
Zhang Yang received the memorial and said in surprise: "Your Majesty is joking, our Taifu Temple has always abided by the rules, how could anyone come to impeach?"
Li Shimin then took a baked piece of golden rice cake and ate it. After taking a bite, he felt it was tasteless, so he sprinkled some fine salt on it and grilled it for a while before continuing to eat.
Li Zhi came with a plate of scallion oil and said, "Father, it tastes better after being drizzled with this scallion oil."
"I ate too much scrambled eggs with chopped green onions and leeks today."
Recently, Li Xiaogong had been eating scrambled eggs with leeks all day long. When the emperor exchanged views on Lishan delicacies with them, they had to enjoy the food together.
The relationship between the emperor, Li Xiaogong and the Supreme Emperor improved a lot, and Li Shimin often ate leeks and green onions.
Seeing Zhang Yang still looking at the memorial, Li Shimin looked forward to his expression, "The people in Huainan said that your Taifu Temple is competing with them for tea mountains."
Zhang Yang looked at the contents of the memorial and shook his head: "These things..."
Halfway through his words, Zhang Yang looked sideways at his wife.
Li Yue walked back to the house with a blushing face.
Zhang Yang looked solemn as he held the memorial.
Li Shimin was in a good mood. Although this matter was not a big mistake, it was a great relief for the emperor to catch Zhang Yang. It turned out that Lishan also made mistakes.
Matters between Jiangnan's prominent families and Chashan were all arranged by Li Yue and Xiaohui.
Li Lizhi knew that the matter was exposed, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Please forgive me, father."
Seeing this, Li Shimin was surprised and said: "Why are you like this?"
Li Lizhi lowered her head, "Actually, the emperor's sister and her daughter planned this matter together, and it has nothing to do with my brother-in-law."
Hearing this, the originally relieved smile condensed on his face, and Li Shimin felt that the rice cake in his mouth was not so delicious.
"You...what did you say?"
At this point, Li Yue also knew that she could no longer hide it. She walked forward quickly, saluted her husband and father, and said, "This matter was caused by my daughter using the seal of Taifu Temple privately. It has nothing to do with her husband or anything to do with it." Beauty, Xiaohui has nothing to do with it.”
Li Lizhi said quickly: "My daughter participated in the planning beforehand."
Li Shimin looked at his daughter and then at Zhang Yang, who actually had a slight smile on his face.
"I……"
At this moment, he hesitated to speak. Li Shimin said with a straight face, "You, the minister of Taifu Temple, are in charge of the seals of Taifu Temple. You cannot escape the blame for things like this."
Zhang Yang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, His Majesty is right."
Li Shimin stood up immediately, "You are still laughing."
"Your Majesty, I don't laugh anymore."
"You!" Li Shimin glared at his two daughters again.
Seeing that the imperial sister came to admit her mistake, a group of younger brothers and sisters also came to admit their mistake. They didn't know what happened. Anyway, it was right to admit their mistake together.
Li Shimin said solemnly: "It seems that the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River don't know that my daughter did this. They all think it was your intention, the Minister of Taifu Temple."
"The tea mountain dispute has been brewing for two years, but it has become more and more intense this year." Zhang Yang looked at him with the memorial in hand.
"What I mean is that the prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River is impeaching you, the Minister of Taifu Temple!"
It's not his daughter who is impeaching her, and the father-in-law is the Khan of Heaven. As long as he doesn't acknowledge the debt, he naturally doesn't belong to his family.
Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands and looked embarrassed, "Does your Majesty want to take away my official status?"
Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said, "I have no such intention."
Zhang Yang gave his wife a look, and after Li Yue understood it, she left with her younger siblings.
By the Huaqing Pool, Zhang Yang sat opposite the emperor's father-in-law, poured a bowl of tea and whispered: "Your Majesty, this matter may be difficult to handle, or easy to handle."
"Well, I have always regarded you as one of my own, otherwise I would not have allowed Zhinu and Gao Yang to be raised in Lishan with so many sisters and brothers."
"Your Majesty is right."
Zhang Yang poured tea for him, "But I, the Minister of Taifu Temple, cannot be blamed for this matter. After all, this matter was Yue'er's personal use of the Taifu Temple seal."
When he talked about the reason for the incident, his expression turned ugly.
The emperor naturally does not want his daughter to make mistakes. If it is investigated, it is still the son-in-law's fault. It is really unreasonable.
Zhang Yang put the impeachment memorial aside, "Actually, they are quite smart. The famous families in the south of the Yangtze River hope to take the tea mountain as their own, but Lishan uses the name of Taifu Temple to allocate the tea mountain to the mountain people, thus leaving Taifu Temple and Taifu Temple. The mountain people's long-term cooperation was originally a benefit to their Jiangnan family, but under the arrangement of Taifu Temple, most of it had to be given to the mountain people, so that the other party would impeach."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, the first person to file a complaint may not necessarily be a good person. A well-dressed person may also be a well-dressed beast, and those who are driven crazy and cause trouble are often the victims. Don't you think it's ironic to say this?"
Zhang Yang continued: "The method of the Jiangnan noble families is nothing more than land annexation. Land annexation is the current way for the powerful and powerful people to get rich. This method does not rely on producing wealth, but through the powerful people plundering acres of land from ordinary people to obtain wealth. "
"The total amount of wealth remains unchanged, but the flow of wealth has changed, and more of it flows into the hands of the upper class. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, resulting in more and more people being displaced. Now it has been Zhenguan for 12 years, This method has appeared again."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "It seems that the impeacher had bad intentions, but what Yue'er and the others did was correct?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "They always have grand reasons for their own interests. I still say the same thing. Does the person who files the complaint must be a good person?"
Speaking of this matter, the emperor is also powerless.
"From top to bottom in the court, I will definitely let them keep an eye on the land."
"Your Majesty is wise."
There is nothing much to say except that he is wise. At least Li Shimin is an emperor who can restrain land annexation.
"Now that the impeachment memorial has been issued, the DPRK and China are bound to reconsider. I need to give the DPRK an explanation."
Zhang Yang bowed slightly and said, "I will find a way. After all, Your Majesty and I are a family, and you always want me to help with the rest."
It's just that the emperor's son or daughter made a mistake, and as a brother-in-law, he had to help him hide his tail and wipe away the traces.
How can the Tian family's brother-in-law be so good?
After talking to His Majesty, Zhang Yang walked into the house and saw his aggrieved wife, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui, and Li Zhi, who looked like she was admitting her mistake.
They lowered their heads, crossed their hands in front of their lower abdomens, and their buns hung down to cover the side of their faces.
Zhang Yang stood in front of the door and whispered: "You three go out first."
"Here."
The three disciples responded in unison and walked out of the room.
Zhang Yang closed the door, and the couple were left in the room, and whispered: "The impact of this incident is quite big."
"Husband, will the DPRK continue to impeach me for this?"
Zhang Yang sat down, crossed his legs, and picked up a tea cup. His wife even thoughtfully prepared hot tea. After taking a sip, he cleared his throat and said, "I want to make it clear to you that under your father's rule, the clan must live with caution." , not to mention that we are relatives, the consequences of this will be very serious, eh!"
"That……"
Zhang Yang continued: "Just listen to me first."
Her voice was much lower and she responded: "Well..."
