He tremblingly took the list from Zhang Yang, his expression stagnant, "Three thousand stones of stone, five thousand of wood, one thousand of sand, three thousand of sand and gravel..."
Zhang Yang had a smile on his face.
Yan Liben's mouth was twitching, and he didn't know if Aunt Wang's over-the-shoulder throw caused his mouth to twist.
"This is too much, a flush toilet requires so many materials." Yan Liben looked down again, "This..."
Zhang Yang whispered to Li Yue: "Do you think this is an assassination of the princess?"
Li Yue whispered: "I have never been assassinated, and I don't know if this is considered an assassination."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yang said again: "Does the government care about the assassination?"
Li Yue frowned and thought, "It should be in charge."
Listening to the words of the two people, Yan Liben gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need to report it to the government. I may be able to gather these materials."
"Really?" Zhang Yang looked surprised.
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang and held back a smile, while her husband pretended to be innocent.
Yan Liben took a deep breath and said, "Give me a few days."
Seeing him limping down the mountain, he happened to be seen by the villagers at the bottom of the mountain, and several men from the village surrounded him.
Yan Liben stepped back step by step, "What are you doing? I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry!"
Seeing that the other party was holding a stick in his hand, Yan Liben ran away.
The village was buzzing with chickens and dogs, making it very lively.
Zhang Yang sighed with emotion: "This minister of the Ministry of Industry has good qinggong and can run very fast."
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang with pretty eyes, "You're bullying someone again, it's so annoying."
She punched Zhang Yang on the shoulder.
After climbing another section of the mountain road, a steep slope blocked the two of them.
Li Yue wiped her sweat, her face flushed by the sun, "It seems like I can't climb up."
Zhang Yang walked along this steep slope for a while and found a sunken stone wall that he could climb up.
"You can still go up here."
"I can't climb anymore." Li Yue said, holding on to the cliff.
"Try again, the scenery at the top of the mountain will be better."
It's no problem to go up by yourself, as my wife is not too tall.
Zhang Yang lowered his body and said, "Come on my back."
Li Yue hugged Zhang Yang's neck with both hands, feeling his strong shoulders, her small face pressed against his back, and the open back made people feel very solid.

Aunt Wang also said: "Consort, be careful."
Zhang Yang grabbed the stone on the upper edge, stretched his arms and climbed onto the stone. He took three steps and two steps, and climbed to the top of the mountain.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang came up easily.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the scenery in the distance, the setting sun shone on Li Yue's face, smelling the sweat on Zhang Yang's body, she smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"It looks good."
"Well! The scenery is so beautiful."
Zhang Yang let go of his hand, but Li Yue still clung to his back and refused to get off.
Not far away is the Lishan Palace, which is also very beautiful under the sunset.
The couple sat on a big rock and watched the sunset in the distance. The sunset was not very dazzling, and the entire Guanzhong land in the distance seemed to be visible.
I looked back at Li Yue on my back and saw that she had fallen asleep at some point.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess was sleeping peacefully, Aunt Wang said, "You can walk down the mountain from the palace."
The palace in Lishan is very beautiful.
Carrying Li Yue on his back all the way, Zhang Yang looked at the palace walls here and felt more and more satisfied with it.
I don’t know if Li Shimin is willing to sell this palace as well.
Aunt Wang whispered: "You can also stay in the palace. I can tell the guard."
"No need, no matter how nice it is outside, it's not as good as home."
Zhang Yang lifted Li Yue who was still sleeping on his back. She was sleeping deeply. It seemed that this mountain climbing had really exhausted her.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang carried torches and a token to explain to the guard here, and then the other party was willing to let a few people use the way to leave the palace.
Follow the steps all the way down the mountain, then go around Lishan Mountain and return to the entrance of the village.
It's completely dark now.
Zhang Yang walked into the carriage and put down the sleeping Li Yue.
Li Yue slowly opened her eyes and looked around for a while before realizing that she was already on the carriage going home.
Zhang Yang was eating raisins.
Li Yue also picked up the raisins and ate them one bite at a time, "The scenery in Lishan Mountain is so beautiful."
"Will your father include the entire Lishan Mountain as our fiefdom?"
"You think beautifully."
"You still have to have dreams." The more Zhang Yang thought about it, the more satisfied he became.
Before the curfew in Chang'an City, they handed over the carriage and the two hurriedly walked home.
Li Yue fell asleep when she got home.
She was exhausted from climbing the mountain this day.
Late at night, Li Shimin listened to Li Junxian's report. It was confirmed that the Turkic assassin's confession was true, and now the Turkic people were indeed in civil strife.
The two Turkic thrones, Ashina's descendants, are vying for the position of Khan.
The little eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Go to bed early."
Li Shimin put down the eucalyptus scroll in his hand and said, "Summon the Turkic envoy tomorrow."
"Here."
In the morning of the next day, the Turkic envoys continued to explain the assassination to Li Shimin.
The civil servants and generals in the court all looked at the Turkic envoy coldly.
As for those assassins, they will be beheaded in Chang'an City.
Li Shimin didn't mind killing a few more Turks to scare Mobei.
Suppressing him first and then giving him a sweet date, Li Shimin said he still supported Ashina Shibobi and hoped that he could become the next Turkic Khan.
The Turkic envoy was very grateful to Li Shimin for his consideration. He talked about the great wolf and the eagle on the grassland. He expressed a lot of words of gratitude and vows.
Li Shimin whispered: "If Ashina Shibo will be able to get the Khan position, the Turks owe Datang an explanation."
"Thank you to Tian Khan for your understanding. When I return to the grassland, I will definitely fight against Dur on behalf of Tian Khan!"
It's better if the grassland is a little chaotic, but it's better to get more and more chaotic.
The smiling face of Zhang Yang appeared in Li Shimin's mind for no apparent reason. It was strange. What did I want this boy to do?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He shook his head and got Zhang Yang's face out of his mind.
After going to court, Yan Liben returned to the Ministry of Industry.
There was also a list given by Zhang Yang on the table, and the items required on it also gave Yan Liben a headache.
After finishing his work with the envoys from various countries, Li Xiaogong returned to his usual leisurely days, chatting with people from time to time, and asking the eunuchs in the palace about the latest news in the harem.
The days were so happy and leisurely.
"Master Yan, why do you look so aggrieved? Where did you feel wronged?" Li Xiaogong asked curiously as soon as he walked into the Ministry of Works.
Compared with the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works is very busy these days. They have to repair the palace and build toilets for His Majesty.
Seeing Li Xiaogong coming, Yan Liben said helplessly: "I saw Princess Runan and the consort in Lishan today."
Li Xiaogong was not polite, and sat aside as a familiar person, "Then why do you still look so aggrieved, as if you were robbed?"
Yan Liben frowned and said, "This prince-in-law is really..."
"The prince-in-law?" Li Xiaogong became interested, "The prince-in-law is familiar to me, he is a good boy, he is honest and responsible in his work, and he even has a lot of insights into life."
"Be honest?"
Yan Liben couldn't sit still, "He almost robbed me."
Li Xiaogong became more and more shocked and suspicious.
Yan Liben told Li Xiaogong what happened in Lishan.
After finishing speaking, Yan Liben stood up again and said, "No, I must tell His Majesty about this matter. This is blackmailing me."
"Wait!"
Li Xiaogong stopped Li Xiaogong and said, "Master Yan, if I tell His Majesty this matter, what do you think His Majesty will think of you?"
"Xiaguan, he is upright and is not afraid of his shadow!"
Li Xiaogong said patiently: "You said that the consort blackmailed you, do you have any evidence? What did he take from you?"
"this……"
Yan Liben was deep in thought and seemed to have taken nothing.
Li Xiaogong added: "Besides, have you built the flush toilet?"
Yan Liben shook his head in frustration.
"Since you haven't built a flush toilet, you still accuse the prince-in-law of blackmailing you. You are not responsible for this matter. It doesn't matter if you don't accuse you of assassination. But you still blame him. If His Majesty thinks you are narrow-minded, forget it. This can't be done.
A flush toilet is not good for your own reputation."
It seems reasonable to hear what he said.
Yan Liben cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Prince Hejian, for reminding me. I almost made a big mistake."
"It's good if you understand. It's not a big deal if you offend the princess and the prince-in-law. If you offend His Majesty, your career will be affected in the future. Why bother? It's okay to feel a little wronged. Who of us hasn't felt a little wronged after so many years as an official?
"
Li Xiaogong said earnestly, "By the way, what do they want from you?"
Yan Liben showed the list to Li Xiaogong.
This sight made Li Xiaogong take a deep breath, "This guy is not trying to build a flush toilet, but he is trying to build a city."
"Do you think a flush toilet requires so many things? You are bullying me, my honest man."
Yan Liben is indeed an honest man, but Zhang Yang's matters are my matter, and this boy is very much to my liking.
Looking at Yan Liben's expression, Li Xiaogong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we build this toilet first and deal with His Majesty's affairs first? It won't hurt to bring up the matter later."
After Li Chunfeng left the customs, he stayed in the Taishi Bureau for some days.
After consolidating his understanding, he discovered that the newly understood geometry has endless magical uses.
Today, Li Chunfeng is full of energy and has regained his former appearance.
Walking on Zhuque Street, Li Chunfeng walked into Dongshi, and then walked into an alley, an alley in Dongshi.
Zhang Yang is recording some data on a wooden board.
Li Yue read while holding the field book.
Aunt Yang took Li Chunfeng into the house.
Seeing Li Chunfeng, Zhang Yang said in surprise: "Taoist Master Li Chunfeng, long time no see."
Li Chunfeng bowed slightly and said: "After the consort and the princess's teachings a few days ago, I have an epiphany now, and my realm of numerology has improved a bit."
Zhang Yang said: "Congratulations then."
Seeing the rows of numbers written on the wooden board, Li Chunfeng asked curiously: "What is this?"
Li Yue explained: "We are recording the grain output of the fiefdom in the past ten years. From the annual grain output, we can calculate our food for one year and our land tax for one year. This is called a plan."
"plan?"
Li Yue added: "It's just an average of the sum of the numbers, and we can calculate the output in the next few years. We can also make better plans in the future."
"What's the use of this?"
"My husband said that mathematics is also widely used. For example, if you know the taxes for a year, you can plan how much money you can spend in a year. It is very important to make a plan for the next year. You can even plan
What happens in the next three to five years is called a plan, and these numbers are also called data."
"Data, planning, plan?" Li Chunfeng thought, "Be careful and prepare for a rainy day?"
Li Yue smiled and said: "We used to live as a couple, so the plan didn't have to be too complicated, but now there are so many people in the fiefdom, so of course we have to plan well. This is also called planned production."
Li Chunfeng thought of something very powerful, but it was a bit vague, as if he couldn't grasp the key points, so he simply sat down and listened to the consort and the princess making plans.
Li Chunfeng had been studying hard all this time, and never thought that mathematics could be used in this way.
Your Majesty asked Pindao to teach the Prince Consort how to count. Unexpectedly, Pindao was now listening to the lecture.
After listening for a while, Li Chunfeng had some insights and planned what he would do in the next few years, how far he would develop the fiefdom, and what kind of things he would accomplish.
Does the DPRK have such a plan and does it have such a layout?
In building a small fiefdom, Li Chunfeng even saw some flavor of governing the country, and he didn't realize it.
After sitting for a while, Li Chunfeng stood up and said, "I remembered something happened in the palace, so I left first."
"Ah? Director Li is leaving now?" Li Yue said in surprise: "Aren't you going to stay for dinner?"
"No, Pindao has gained some enlightenment again. He is going back to the palace and plans to stay in seclusion for a few more days."
"Well... then Daoist Li, walk slowly." Li Yue said politely.
When Li Chunfeng left the house, Zhang Yang said curiously: "What's going on with this Taoist Master Li? Why is he going into seclusion again without even saying a few words?"
Li Yue was holding Tianzhi with a puzzled look on her face, "Daoist Master Li is so weird."
The output value of the fiefdom will reach 10,000 guan within one year, and after two years when the overall construction is completed, the output value of the fiefdom will reach 30,000 guan.
This is the couple's current plan.
Ten thousand guan and 30,000 guan are not small amounts.
Let’s set this goal for the time being. Relying on the geographical advantages of Lishan Mountain, it is now busy farming, and we must reach the initial completion level of the construction of the fiefdom before the peak autumn tourist season.
Li Yue was sitting in the rocking chair, looking forward to the days when she would count money in the future, which would be a lot of money.
After Li Chunfeng returned to the palace, he locked himself up again and did not say when he would be released from isolation next time.
I have never seen any Taoist priest go into seclusion every now and then.
This opened the eyes of the eunuchs in the palace.
One after another military reports were sent to Chang'an. Tuyuhun had been defeated one after another in the face of Tibetan attacks. Tuyuhun realized that he could not do without the Tang Dynasty. King Tuyuhun's credentials were finally sent to Chang'an.
These things that happened in the DPRK did not affect the construction of the fiefdom at all.
Yan Liben delivered truckloads of building materials to the fiefdom as agreed.
After handing the list back to Zhang Yang, Yan Liben said: "According to the agreement, the prince-in-law should inform me about the method of making the toilet."
