Seeing Li Tai crying with a fat face, Shangguan Yi asked again: "What do you think, His Majesty the King of Wei?"
"I have done bad things out of kindness, but I still think about you at every turn." Li Tai stomped his feet and turned around, shouting and cursing, "They are not good people."
Shangguan Yi wanted to say something more to the warrior Xun, but he heard Li Tai's angry curse.
"You are all bad people!"
While cursing, Li Tai covered his face and cried, running further and further away.
Shangguan Yi explained: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is still young, so his words were unintentional. I hope Duke Ying will not take offense."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei can be so forthright and express his emotions and anger clearly. He is a man of the right temperament. Well, he is not hypocritical." Warrior Xun was more appreciative.
Joining the construction of Lishan Village, the warrior Yu also became busy. In addition to the construction of the workshop, he coordinated the population of the entire village and began to arrange the construction of the workshop. The strong men in the village were divided into three teams, one team prepared stones, and the other team
One team prepares wood, and one team builds the workshop.
Most of the men here were veterans of building houses with Niu Chuang in the past, and they are very comfortable in using them.
Coupled with Niu Chuang's leadership, the construction efficiency quickly increased.
Li Tai saw these workshops taking shape one by one, and was overjoyed, "Do you know what I seem to be seeing when I look at the workshops?"
A group of guards behind him shook their heads.
"Silver money! Lots and lots of silver money." Li Tai looked up to the sky and laughed.
The drawings had been prepared by Zhang Yang a long time ago. The warrior Yu observed the drawings and found that the entire workshop was only an empty shell. So far, he had not seen any tools that could really change the production method.
I want to ask Shangguan Yi, but he is not here at the moment.
After arriving in Lishan Village, the warrior Yun discovered that Shangguan Yi would often leave the village without telling him what he was going to do, and he would only come back in the evening.
And there is Niu Chuang. This man is really good at his craftsmanship and has great appeal in the village, but he is also very strict. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
Only when you are here do you know that there are many secrets here.
The development pattern of Lishan was very strange. When Shangguan Yi came back at night, the warrior Yu expressed his doubts.
"I have been to many places. Some places focus on mulberry farming, and some places focus on farming."
While eating, Shangguan Yi wolfed down the food and said, "The scallion chicken here is very delicious. You should try it. It's finally our turn to eat it this month."
The warrior Yun looked at the food in front of him and had no appetite. "Lishan Village would rather sacrifice the cultivated fields to build workshops."
Shangguan Yi gnawed on a piece of cake, rolled up the chicken and chewed it hard in his mouth. He finally swallowed it and took another mouthful of chicken soup. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "I have thought about this problem of Duke Ying a long time ago.
.”
"What are your conclusions?"
"Ying Guogong, like me, came from a well-known family back then. You are a few years older than me. Thinking about it, you understand better that farming can support yourself and your family, but you cannot support a scholar."
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yi had eaten the scallion chicken until only one drumstick was left, "I will leave this drumstick to Ying Guogong. I will go to teach after dinner. You can do it yourself."
Samurai Yu picked up the chicken leg, and immediately regretted the smooth and tender muscles in his mouth, "How come the chicken is so delicious?"
"After September, the cotton from the Western Regions will arrive. I heard that there is a lot of it this time. If you prepare early, you will be busier." Shangguan Yi said before leaving.
The warrior Yu gradually got used to life here. There were several rooms in the village that were like forbidden areas and could not be entered without the permission of the princess and the consort.
The fields of rice are growing taller and taller day by day. Zhang Gongjin comes every day to see how the rice is growing. Seeing this proud vitality makes him always want to live a few more years.
A group of soldiers and horses escorted two carriages to the front of the village.
The samurai Yu was okay, he came to the village entrance early to greet his family.
Li Tai dragged Shangguan Yi hard, "You can't live up to this king's kindness."
Coming out of the first carriage was the family of the warrior Yu. His wife was holding a little girl, carrying her luggage and looking around curiously.
When she saw the warrior Yu, she felt relieved and stepped forward.
"We were scared at first. These troops took out their seals and said they were King Wei's soldiers. The government didn't dare to stop them, so we were brought here." Yang, the wife of the warrior Xun, explained.
While the warrior Yu was comforting, the family of three walked aside and whispered about the current situation.
Another woman got out of another carriage. She was a little timid and stood there looking at this strange place, wearing simple clothes and carrying a luggage.
Li Tai pushed Shangguan Yi hard.
Being pushed and staggered, Shangguan Yi stepped forward in three steps and two steps, stabilized his body and looked at the woman.
"Master Shangguan." The woman bowed slightly and said.
"So many years have passed since the original wedding. More than ten years have passed, and you haven't remarried anyone else?"
"This is a marriage between two families. Your father was killed in the war. I don't know where you are, let alone whether you are alive or dead. My father made a marriage contract many years ago and cannot easily change it. You have to see the person dead or the corpse before you can marry someone else."
It has been sixteen years since we got married at the age of thirteen.
At that time, there was a lot of war and displacement, Shangguan Yi bowed and said: "I am nearly thirty years old, how dare I come to marry you again."
She smiled bitterly and whispered: "If you don't want to marry, please give me a letter of divorce so that you can give an explanation to your family."
Shangguan Yi froze on the spot, looking at her smile, unable to make a decision for a moment.
"Shangguanyi! If you are not a man!" Li Tai suddenly shouted.
"I……"
Li Tai waved his hand and asked someone to help carry the girl's luggage, and then she was invited into the village with half a push.
Walking to Shangguan Yi, Li Tai whispered: "Live a good life. There are not many good people who keep their promises like this. I don't care that you are poor now, or how you live. I have been here for so many years, so I married her to a man."
, if you dare to write a letter of divorce, don’t blame me for looking down on you!”
"You are so old, what is it like to not have a family at the age of thirty? You are not as good as your brother-in-law." Li Tai cursed.
When Li Tai returned to the village, King Wei's bodyguard said to him: "King Wei is like this these days. He always likes to scold people. The servants in the mansion have to be scolded every day. It's not because of this damn business. The business is...
It’s been off for a summer.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shangguan Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Shangguan, if you dare to write a letter of divorce, we will look down upon you." Several guards reached a consensus and gave him warning looks.
"Why is this so?"
In Chang'an City, Li Yue had just finished sweeping the floor and sat down when he saw a few pieces of sawdust falling on the ground.
She looked at the pieces of sawdust falling on the ground, quickly looked away, and concentrated on correcting Li Lizhi's homework.
After half an hour, the sawdust gradually piled up and reached the knees.
Li Yue remained silent, picked up the broom and quietly poured the pile of sawdust into a large wooden barrel. Just as he sat down after finishing cleaning, the sound of whittling wood sounded again.
People have their limits of endurance. Li Yue got angry and said, "You bully people!"
Zhang Yang looked at the wood he had flattened carefully and said, "I am willing to admit defeat."
"It's been half a month, and you haven't stopped every day."
"Production must be stepped up. Our family has had no income for a long time." Zhang Yang drew the dimensions on the wood, took out the chisel and carefully knocked out the holes, then fastened the wood to a wooden board and fixed it with rivets.
When pulling, the stamping mold on the wooden board also moves down.
After several attempts, the soap molding device was finally completed.
There is a lot of wood at home, which Zhang Yang polished into weird devices.
"Your Highness the Princess, people from the Ministry of Industry are here."
Li Yue looked at her husband and said, "The people from the Ministry of Industry have delivered the things."
Zhang Yang walked out of the house and said with a smile: "Please send your things to the village. I still have some here. Please help move them."
After saying this, Zhang Yang took out another piece of silver cake and quietly stuffed it into the other party, not wanting others to work in vain.
Although I feel a little distressed, I have said so many good things to my daughter-in-law. I got this silver cake in exchange for several meals of rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice.
Naturally, one person cannot do so many things, so most of the heavy workpieces were handed over to the engineering department, and Yan Liben was happy to help.
In his words, he can also learn something from it.
"The prince-in-law's outfit is so unique." The visitor said curiously.
"This is an apron and these sleeves. If you are worried about soiling your clothes, your Ministry of Works can also prepare some."
Zhang Yang also wore leather gloves made by himself.
"Then this hat..."
"This hat covers all the hair to prevent sawdust from floating on the hair."
"It is indeed an ingenious idea, and so are we craftsmen. The most annoying thing is that sawdust floats into our hair, which makes it troublesome to wash. After we finish the work, our hair and clothes are full of sawdust, which is very annoying."
"I can mention this matter to you, Lord Yan, and also be concerned about their working environment."
"That's natural. I'll tell Yan Shangshu when I get back."
The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were asked to remove all the things they had made at home and transport them all to the village. The yard that was originally full of wood and other debris was finally quite empty.
Zhang Yang relaxed his aching arms and sat down tiredly, "Daughter-in-law, sweep the floor."
"Oh!" Li Yue stood up aggrievedly, holding a broom and sweeping quietly. A gust of wind blew by and the wood chips that had finally been swept into a pile were blown everywhere.
She looked at Zhang Yang again and saw her husband taking off his coat and walking into the house. Soon there was the sound of water and he went to take a bath happily.
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Li Yue took a deep breath and held the broom hard. At this moment, she wanted to throw the broom at her husband's face.
Zhang Yang hummed happily after taking a bath and put away his drawings.
He looked towards the yard outside the house and said, "Huh? Wife, why haven't you cleaned it up yet?"
Li Yue stopped sweeping the floor, suppressing the emotions that were about to explode.
Zhang Yang said again: "How about you rest for a while?"
"Well, I'll take a break." Li Yue put down the broom and sat down, picked up a pot of boiled water and poured it into his mouth.
"By the way, remember to clean up after you have rested. Don't be lazy."
The words came from inside the house again.
"You!" Li Yue just wanted to get angry, but gritted his teeth and endured it, willing to admit defeat, willing to admit defeat...
Zhang Yang spent a busy day polishing iron and cutting wood, and Li Yue also spent a day sweeping the floor.
In the evening, all the sawdust in the yard was finally cleaned up, and the couple sat on chairs and watched the sunset together.
There is a cradle in the yard, which is for the queen.
"There is a city wall outside, so we can't see the sunset." Li Yue whispered.
"Autumn is coming soon."
"Um."
I felt aggrieved when I was sweeping the floor, but now I don’t feel aggrieved anymore when I sit side by side with my husband. This is all for the sake of better days in the future.
These craftsmen from the Ministry of Works pulled the cart all the way out of Chang'an City. The leader whispered: "According to Yan Liben's instructions, draw these and send them to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works must record everything created by Shilang Zhang."
Come down."
Several craftsmen from the engineering department nodded in response.
In just three months, the Red Mansion, which was boycotted by nobles and aristocratic families, spread throughout Guanzhong at an unimaginable speed. With the paving the way for the previous volume, the Red Mansion volume spread even faster.
It is not only spread among scholars, but also among ordinary people. There are often discussions after meals or after work, and some plots will be brought out by people to repeat their opinions.
Confucian classics will not be discussed by the whole people, but the strange story of Red Mansion is the most attractive. The wide spread and the number of people reading it are jaw-dropping. Even though some people are illiterate, others can understand it, as long as several families come together
Pay someone to study, and a dozen people can gather around to listen.
Li Shimin accidentally discovered that the success of the recently opened official school had a lot to do with the Red Mansion. Some people learned to read just to study in the Red Mansion.
The successful establishment of the official school is a great thing for the imperial examination.
In the memorials one after another, Li Shimin still saw discordant voices. Du Zhenglun, the minister of Zhongshu, wrote a memorial to list the Red Mansion as a banned book to appease the dissatisfaction of aristocratic families and noble families.
It is not enough to ask the Hongwen Museum and the Imperial College not to include Red Mansions, but also to list it as a banned book.
"I never expected that a mere volume of Red Mansions would make an aristocratic family so anxious." Li Shimin held his forehead with a sad look on his face.
"Your Majesty, there are also maids in the palace who are secretly looking at the Red Building." The young eunuch on the side said in a low voice.
Li Shimin lowered his face and said, "Summon Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji to Ganlu Hall to discuss matters."
"Here."
The couple often went to the palace together, and all the officials were accustomed to it, but today Zhang Yang was carrying a cradle, which made people around him look over.
After sending his wife to the Li Zheng Palace, Zhang Yang put down the cradle and went to the East Palace to follow Li Chengqian and listen to Wei Zheng's lecture.
Wei Zheng held a scroll in one hand and said, "As soon as the Red Mansion came out, people were talking. People were talking about vicious people and counting the worthless human lives in the eyes of the powerful. Does the prince think the ugliness revealed in this book is the right way?"
Li Chengqian was speechless for a moment, "I did see Red Mansions, but..."
Zhang Yang quickly replied: "The prince has seen the Red Mansion, but the prince only saw the Red Mansion to understand the Red Mansion, and looked at it with a critical eye."
Wei Zheng said again: "If everyone in the world despises the Red Mansion, what will you do?"
Zhang Yang thought for a long time, "Back to Mr. Zheng, The Red Mansion writes about all kinds of things in the world. Even if you spurn people, you will only spurn those vicious people. Both volumes of The Red Mansion have been sold. Some people will comment on the right and wrong, and some people will boycott the Red Mansion."
, it shows that they are afraid, and the more they resist, the more it shows that they don’t want the world to see their ugliness.”
Wei Zheng's expression became more appreciative, "You want to use this to convey the idea of resisting the family?"
