After moving bricks and stones for a day, Li Tai's appetite became better, so he ate half of the roast duck alone.

Zhang Yang instructed: "Your Highness, you are the most critical age for growing up. You need to eat more meat and not overeat."

Li Tai wiped his mouth, "It's just enough to eat."

“How is your recent understanding of geography?”

"I have been reading the geography of the Hexi Corridor recently." Li Tai sat cross-legged. "Since the Han Dynasty, there were four counties in Hexi, and perhaps others had not noticed it. After reading ancient books, I realized that Hexi is actually a very rich place. When Zhang Dasu passed by the Hexi Corridor, he found a flock of war horses and sheep. It was not unreasonable for Huo Qubing to set up the largest horse farm in the Hexi Corridor in history."

"Brother-in-law, I actually have something in my mind." Li Tai drew a line on the ground. "The Hexi Corridor connects Longxi in the east, Guanzhong, and Xizhou in the west to the Western Regions. It has been a place that military strategists must fight for since dynasties. The Central Plains have repeatedly taken over the Hexi Corridor, but they have lost it again and again. The money and salary required to rebuild the four counties in Hexi are countless, and there will be risks of losing the Hexi Corridor."

Li Tai's words began to get denser again.

Zhang Yang listened in distress.

"This time, the re-establishment of Xizhou and then connecting Gaochang, Wei Zheng repeatedly mentioned opposition to his father's decision. It seems that this will cause a lot of burden on the court. If the Hexi Corridor is lost, the efforts and efforts of the court will be in vain."

Thinking of the Hexi Corridor, Zhang Yang thought of Jiayuguan, the three great passes in the Central Plains.

The construction of this powerful pass began in the early Ming Dynasty and was also the most important link in the Ming Dynasty's construction of the Ming Great Wall.

Let’s not talk about whether Li Shimin would invest a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a barrier.

However, the completion of Jiayuguan has indeed given the long-term stability of the Hexi Corridor.

Zhang Yang drew a circle at the other end of this line, "You can try to build a pass in the Hexi Corridor. As long as there is such a pass, it can provide a good guarantee for the four Hexi counties behind it. Whether it is military farming or military transfer, it can provide a lot of convenience."

Li Tai looked at this line and thought for a long time.

Zhang Yang said again: "I call this pass Jiayuguan."

"Why is Jiayuguan?"

"Because there is a mountain called Jiayu Mountain at the western end of the Hexi Corridor."

Li Tai looked up and suddenly asked, "Did your brother-in-law go to the Hexi Corridor?"

Zhang Yang smiled, "Just think I've been there."

It was not until the evening that he left Mount Li and walked into the gate of Chang'an City. Li Tai took a deep breath and said aloud: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, geography is beneficial to the country. I will compile it well and I will definitely not disappoint my brother-in-law."

Listening to his bold words, weight loss is a matter of three days fishing and two days of fishing for him.

Doing business is persistent.

I don’t know if he can persist in writing geography.

The memorial written by Lu Dongzan was sent to the court, one was written in Tubo language, and the other was a translation written by the Academy of Foreign Affairs.

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Li Shimin was somewhat suspicious. Lu Dongzan bowed his head and admitted his mistake and thanked the Ministry of Rites so abnormally, most of whom were forced by the situation.

Looking at Fang Xuanling again, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "What does Xuanling think?"

"Since the Tubo general felt that Zhang Yang's words and deeds were inappropriate, he could naturally recall him and let him continue to arrange negotiations."

Li Shimin looked at the night outside, "Let him come to Lizheng Hall tomorrow."

The queen admired Zhang Yang very much, so that some of the furniture in the palace were also sent by Yue'er.

Tonight, Li Shimin invited a banquet for the royal family, and the princesses whom Li Yuan had appointed were also present.

Ask the eunuch to pour the white sugar on everyone's dishes, the emperor today shares the wonderful uses of this white sugar with everyone.

Everyone was amazed after tasting it.

When someone asked about it, Li Shimin avoided talking. This was the matter agreed with Zhang Yang. As for how this sugar appeared in the market in the future, what is the origin?

Li Shimin believes that Zhang Yang can make up many stories about this.

People in the royal family here are talking about this sugar. Some people dipped bitter vegetables into some sugar and found that the flavor is better.

They also heard that Zhang Yang would often bring out some strange things to His Majesty and the Queen.

There are also many home-cooked foods, and everyone is the son-in-law. When these son-in-law come back, they unexpectedly find that they are about to be killed by Zhang Yang, the son-in-law.

This is the first time that sugar has appeared in front of people. Many people will definitely be impressed by this banquet.

Li Shimin is very satisfied with the results this time.

It was said that he was a jailed for one month, but Zhang Yang did not ask about the affairs of the court for two consecutive months.

Devote yourself to the construction of your new home.

So a wall was specially empty in Li Yue's room for hanging drawings.

When he woke up early in the morning, Zhang Yang prepared breakfast, and Xiao Wu drank porridge and looked at the topic left by yesterday.

Look at my wife still asleep.

Xiao Wu whispered: "The teacher loves to sleep more and more recently."

After looking inside the room, Li Yue had just woken up, and was listless when she walked out with her clothes.

After washing up and taking care of myself, I sat down and ate slowly.

Xiao Wu ate the porridge in the bowl and washed the dishes himself.

Looking at Li Yue's complexion again, Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "Have you felt uncomfortable recently?"

Li Yue whispered: "Isn't it that I've been sleeping so late these two days, I usually go to bed very early."

The voices are very light and can only be heard by the couple.

Aunt Yang hurried over, "The Princess and Queen said that there are some excellent peaches and fruits in the palace."

Li Yue nodded and said, "I know, let's clean up and go to see my mother."

I haven't been to the palace for more than a month, and Li Yuan is recuperating in the village. There is a medical team from the clinic and Sun Simiao naturally don't have to worry too much.

I mentioned the expansion of the clinic with my wife, and the factory's income is about to enter a stable period, and the village's money income is gradually stabilizing.

She has refuted this several times.

Especially after seeing the expansion of carriage business outside the city, the business was not as good as in previous years, which made her a little wary and she was more cautious in expansion.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After packing up the house, the couple took Xiao Wu and walked out of the house.

The palace maid led the way and said again: "The queen has stopped coughing recently. The medical officers of the Imperial Medical Department have also discovered the crux of the problem and have taken out all the incense burners in the palace."

As a luxury item, incense burner is often used as a way to calm the mind and calm the mind.

This smoke often has the characteristics of incomplete combustion.

In order to make the aroma stronger, they will add more burn-resistant things to various fragrances.

For example, sulfur is one of them.

After not seeing her mother for a long time, when she heard the palace maid say this, Li Yue's pace accelerated a little.

There was a palace maid leading the way and entered the court from Chengtian Gate without any obstacles.

When I came, I could still notice that the officials in various departments in the imperial city were pointing at me. I had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. Zhang Yang understood that many people in the court had an alternative view.

When you are sober enough, you are looking at mortals when you look at them.

It is important to understand right and wrong. If you have seen a more prosperous world, as long as you are firm in your heart, you can confirm that your direction is correct and you don’t have to care about their fingers.

They talked about it because they didn't know what would happen ahead and were just curious about the unknown.

When I walked into the palace, my eyes became cheerful. No one stopped on the wide field in front of the Tai Chi Hall. After getting closer, I saw four or five guards standing in front of the hall.

Turning over from Tai Chi Hall and walking all the way to Lizheng Hall.

Before he could even walk to the front of the hall, he saw Li Zhi standing outside alone. The seven-year-old child was wearing too long clothes and was stopping and looking around.

Seeing the person, Li Zhi seemed to have his eyes lit up and ran quickly, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, Douzi has counted it clearly, the emperor taught me."

I knew that Qingque came to ask at that time to help his younger brother solve his problems.

The couple kept walking with Xiao Wu.

Li Zhi followed quickly, "Brother-in-law, what other interesting topics are there?"

When he walked to the front of the hall, Zhang Yang said again: "How to weigh a war horse?"

Li Zhi asked again, "Do you need to put the war horses in big pieces to weigh them?"

"The premise is that you cannot kill horses. The specific method depends on His Highness King Jin's talent."

As he spoke, he had already walked into the Lizheng Hall, where Li Shimin and the Queen were here.

Li Yue first saluted and then walked to the queen.

Zhang Yang looked at Li Shimin, and the king, minister, father and son-in-law looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.

"I have done what you have told me."

Li Shimin spoke first.

Zhang Yang took out another small jar of sugar, "Your Majesty wants to eat less this on weekdays, I give it this a little every month."

The thumb-sized jar was opened and there was only half a can of sugar inside.

After putting it down again, Li Shimin said helplessly: "This thing is too sweet and I don't like to eat it anymore."
