This situation will not last long. As long as the new home in Lishan is built, you can move to Lishan.
In the days that followed, Zhang Yang sketched the drawings and unexpectedly discovered that after instilling in Li Shimin the ambition to strengthen the country and enrich the people and conquer the world.
This strong emperor will devote all his thoughts to developing national strength.
A few days passed normally. When the autumn wind blew into Guanzhong, the ale had fermented twice, and the maltose in the ale was almost fermented.
In order to increase the mellowness of the fermented wine, koji is specially added to help fermentation.
Under the watchful eyes of Li Yue, Li Yuan and Li Tai, Zhang Yang used several pieces of cotton cloth to filter the wine, and bowls of golden ale came out.
Picking up one of the bowls, Zhang Yang handed it to Li Tai.
This made Li Tai a little surprised. Just when he was excited and about to drink it in one gulp, the wine almost reached his mouth. He put down the wine bowl again and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you drink it yourself."
Zhang Yang grinned, "How do I know how good the food I made is? What if I get a stomachache from drinking it?"
Li Tai hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and drank the ale in one gulp, letting out a sigh of relief.
Li Yuan asked curiously: "How does it taste?"
Li Tai clicked his tongue, "It's such a refreshing drink, but it's a little too sweet."
Zhang Yang also took a small spoonful and tasted it. It was indeed a bit too sweet.
If the wine has no bubbles, it will be yellow.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yang went to Sun Simiao's medical clinic to get some pine flowers, crushed them into pieces and mixed them with wine.
After pouring out another bowl, Zhang Yang handed it to Li Tai, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, try it again."
Li Tai hesitantly drank another bowl and stared at it for a long time, thinking, "It's much more refreshing now, and it doesn't feel sweet or greasy in the mouth."
Pine flowers also have another name: hops.
This is the plant used in the earliest ale craft.
Seeing that Li Tai didn’t have any stomach upset after drinking it for a long time, I don’t know if it’s because the little fat guy’s intestines are strong, or if there’s really nothing wrong with the ale.
Li Yue's pretty face showed some anger and helplessness, and her wife was still upset about letting Li Tai taste the wine.
Li Yuan had been waiting for the drink for a long time to calm down his impulse. He stared at the ale and couldn't bear it anymore.
Before Zhang Yang could react, he saw Li Yuan lifting the jar and drinking heavily. He placed the jar heavily on the table and said loudly: "What a refreshing drink."
Zhang Yang sighed: "You shouldn't be in such a hurry to drink."
“How long can we wait for such good wine?”
"Actually, adding ice cubes to it will make it taste better."
"Seriously?" Li Tai was suspicious.
"That's natural."
Seeing Li Tai running away, I don't know where the fat man came from with a basket of ice cubes.
There are only twenty cans of ale in total. It is important to have connections in Chang'an City.
And connections also need to be managed.
Send three of the cans to Li Shimin, one to the teacher's house, and another to Xu Jingzong, as well as Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Li Xiaogong.
After everyone has given away the food, there is not much left for you to drink.
With backward storage technology, ale cannot be stored for a long time and easily deteriorates. The ale brewed during this season must be consumed within two days, and it will really deteriorate if it continues to ferment.
Li Yue sipped the ale wine and gave Xiao Wu a taste.
Ale is not very intoxicating, the most important thing is to drink it refreshingly.
Seeing that Li Tai and Li Yuan had already drank a large can each.
Asking Niu Chuang's people to distribute all the ale, Zhang Yang said: "The words must be brought. The ale must be drunk on the day it is delivered. It must be drunk with ice cubes."
"Here."
Niu Chuang put the earthen jars filled with wine on the carriage and led the people and horses to Chang'an City.
In the palace, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial. The emperor had been very busy these two days, and there was still a lot of sweat on his forehead while reviewing the memorial.
The eunuch brought the ale with ice cubes and said, "Your Majesty, this is the wine sent by Lishan. He said that he must drink it today. It will go bad if it is kept for a long time."
Li Shimin's eyes were still on the memorial. He took the wine bowl and took a sip.
As soon as the drink was in his mouth, the emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked at the yellow drink and said in surprise: "Why does this drink look like this?"
"It's said to be wine brewed from wheat," the eunuch reported back.
Li Shimin drank a bowl in one go, put the ice cubes into his mouth and chewed, "One more bowl."
"Here!"
The cool drink entered his mouth, which made Li Shimin's mind clearer. He drank the ale one sip after another.
After a while, the three cans of ale were finished.
Li Shimin glanced at the empty earthen jar, still unfinished.
"That's all?"
"It's all sent from Lishan. It's said that it can only be drunk once a year. It is brewed with fresh malt. I was specifically told that it will go bad if it is kept for a long time."
The wine is not intoxicating, and it is refreshing and makes you want to have another bowl after drinking it.
Li Shimin shouted and asked: "Is it brewed by Zhang Yang?"
The eunuch reported back: "The person who brought the wine said it was brewed by Lishan."
Li Shimin smiled, wiped his mouth, and got away from the busyness of reviewing memorials. This drink made me sober.
I have been busy with political affairs these past two days, and I have actually neglected many things.
"I am busy in the palace, but he Zhang Yang is still happy and free, and still has time to make wine?"
People are so irritating to each other, just thinking about Zhang Yang's free and happy life makes Li Shimin angry.
I really want to catch this kid and let him continue to make wine for me.
Li Shimin said: "Do you want malt?"
The eunuch said: "We need wheat germ."
Li Shimin nodded, "Let people collect fresh malt and give it to Lishan so they can continue to brew this drink."
"Here."
The next day, Zhang Yang had just returned home from court when he heard Aunt Yang say that His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the Supreme Emperor had started to suffer from stomach upsets early in the morning, and it was best for them to be given two bowls of decoction by Divine Doctor Sun himself.
Looking at Xiao Wu and Li Yue, they were fine even after drinking ale.
Zhang Yang thought about it and then remembered that it was the first time he drank so much iced wine. Not to mention gastrointestinal cramps, it was not bad. Eating too much ice cream also made him upset.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How could the two of them drink non-stop.
Aunt Yang continued: "One more thing. The palace has sent people to collect malt. Your Majesty intends to let Lishan continue to make wine."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Then let Prince Wei go to make wine. He knows the process of making wine anyway."
"Let's make arrangements now."
Li Yue combed Xiao Wu's bun, "I don't like ale wine, but our own rice wine is better."
Zhang Yang nodded, "When all the rice in the village is harvested after autumn, our family will brew some rice wine."
Li Yue nodded, combed Xiao Wu's hair and continued to study derivatives.
For Li Yue, the verification of derivatives is a very long process, and the concept of derivatives is also unfamiliar to her.
The process of seeking guidance was a qualitative improvement for her.
After Li Yue mastered the derivative, Zhang Yang felt that he had no other mathematical knowledge to teach her.
The process of deriving the value of a function is almost the ultimate level of mathematics that I can teach her to achieve.
The higher mathematical concepts and knowledge are no longer something you can master by yourself.
There is a huge piece of paper on Li Yue's desk, which is filled with dense formulas.
These are just her drafts.
She integrated the knowledge of functions she had learned and took out the formulas over and over again to overturn them bit by bit.
The question on the board draws a tangent line, and uses functions to explain the ultimate in line rate. This is Li Yue's ultimate goal.
This is no longer an ordinary problem solving and calculating the answer, this is another understanding of mathematics.
Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly and regretted not studying hard at the beginning. Being able to teach her college entrance examination questions was his limit.
But seeing my daughter-in-law's serious and troubled face tortured her thinking over and over again.
This situation made Zhang Yang feel inexplicable and very happy.
It's so enjoyable.
After a while, Li Yue pulled her thoughts away from the complicated formula. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Husband, I'm tired."
Zhang Yang put away her draft and said, "Get some rest. That's it for today."
"Yeah." Li Yue still nodded with her eyes closed.
I sat down on the recliner and saw Li Yue taking off her straw sandals and lying down. She curled up and leaned on her shoulders, and there was no longer the tangle between her brows.
When her eyebrows are soothed when she sleeps, it means she is sleeping peacefully.
The couple has been together for so many years and understands each other very well.
Know what choices she will make when encountering something, know her favorite sleeping position, and know what kind of food she likes to eat in what weather.
"Husband, when can we build a new home?" Li Yue muttered with her eyes closed as she pillowed her pillow against the neighbor.
"It's almost time." Zhang Yang whispered.
"Um."
When autumn comes to an end, the days in Chang'an City are approaching the end of the year.
In the last two months of the seventh year of Zhenguan, one after another the messengers stationed their horses in front of Chang'an City to deliver the military reports from the border pass to Chengtian Gate.
At the beginning of the year, Li Shimin released those who were about to be executed in Qiu Hou.
Now that the day has come, all these people have returned. Fang Xuanling even came over to confirm that none of these people were missing from the beginning of the year.
They are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. Even if these men come to Chang'an City to die, it is their duty to do so.
Zhang Yang looked at the moving scene. More and more residents of Chang'an City were watching. These twenty-nine people even saluted towards the Tai Chi Hall before returning to the dungeon of Dali Temple.
There are more and more voices praising Li Shimin as Mingjun.
Fine snow fell from the sky. Zhang Yang held Li Yue's hand and asked: "Is it cold?"
Li Yue put away her coat and whispered: "It's not cold."
Looking at Xiao Wu, she reached out to catch the snowflakes.
The family walked into the Zhuque Gate, and before going to see Queen Changsun, the family went to the Qintian Prison.
Yuan Tiangang has gone crazy. Li Chunfeng explained: "Taoist Yuan put all his energy into the original puzzle."
Zhang Yang looked at Yuan Tiangang's confused state and asked, "Do you want to persuade him?"
Li Chunfeng shook his head, "Perhaps this is the last thing he wants to accomplish in his life. Even if the oil is exhausted, let him fulfill it like this. If he is blocked, he will die in peace."
While walking with the Zhang Yang family, Li Chunfeng said: "Don't help him either."
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang's energy was at its highest, and a huge puzzle lay before his eyes. This was his lifelong achievement, and naturally he would not let anyone stop him.
Follow Li Chunfeng to another place in Qintian Prison, where a huge object is placed.
Several huge rails surround a ball.
And it's also made of copper.
Li Chunfeng stood in the wind and snow, spread his hands and preached: "This is Pindao's achievement in the past two years. This thing is called the Huntian Zodiac Instrument!"
The Huntian Zodiac Instrument was finally made by Li Chunfeng.
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Director Li."
Li Chunfeng laughed loudly, "This ceremony is divided into three levels, three Chens, three rings and four circles..."
Listening to Li Chunfang's explanation, Zhang Yang looked at this huge instrument that could record history and said with a smile: "I admire Daoist Master Li's achievements."
Li Chunfeng cupped his hands and said, "Your numeracy skills also impress me."
When leaving Qintian Prison, Xiaowu was still shocked by the Huntian Zodiac Instrument.
Li Yue whispered, "I heard that there is also an armillary sphere at the Lingtai. It is an iron sphere. Taoist priest Li Chunfeng was able to make this zodiacal sphere. He must have been inspired by it."
"Maybe so, who knows."
Seeing that the snowstorm was getting bigger and bigger, the family walked into the Li Zheng Hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, a group of children gathered around him with their homework.
Seeing Li Yue surrounded by a group of young princes and princesses, Empress Changsun smiled.
However, Li Shimin's expression was not good-looking. He seemed to be thinking that Li Yue was too popular with the children, but in fact he was worried about the border situation.
Zhang Yang took the stool handed to him by the palace maid and sat down, while he and Xiao Wu sat by the stove to keep warm.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Su Lie and Li Daoyan stayed at the border, Ashinadur also captured Khotan, and then came Yanqi. Tubo continued to kowtow at the Qilian Mountains. What do you think?"
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo would eventually go to war.
Songtsen Gampo was an ambitious Zanpu. The Tubo he led was at its most prosperous period on the entire plateau. Now that he had accumulated strength, he wanted to challenge the Tang Dynasty and prove his Zanpu's strength.
Zhang Yang took out some warm tea eggs from the food box, first gave one to Xiao Wu, and then gave one to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
"Queen, tea eggs are difficult to digest, and the eggs are too small to eat."
Empress Changsun smiled and nodded. She took out a decree and said, "This is for Xiao Wu. Your Majesty has also promised to make Xiao Wu Princess of Lishan. From now on, she will be my goddaughter."
Zhang Yang bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Queen, and thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Wu had peeled the tea eggs and was stuttering on her own. She still didn't know what kind of identity she had acquired.
Li Shimin patted the table gently, "Does your Ministry of Rites have any plans regarding the Tubo matter?"
Zhang Yang first accepted the order and spoke with his hands in his hands, "As far as I know, a small group of Tibetan soldiers and horses are coming to attack the Qilian Mountains at any time. It is just Songtsen Gampo's test. His large army of soldiers and horses must be behind, and Dashu should also hurry up."
He’s back, and we’ll discuss the next steps when he comes back.”
"I heard that Zhang Dashu has entered Longyou Road and can reach Chang'an City in less than three days."
This journey lasted for more than half a year. When summer first arrived, Zhang Dashu left Chang'an City and went to Tubo. This journey lasted from summer to autumn and now to winter.
I don’t know what he gained from spending more than half a year in Tubo.
Li Shimin asked again: "I also want to try Tibet's strength. Do you think this battle should be fought?"
