I took another look and saw that my wife was reading a book intently.
Her hobby shifted from mathematics to astronomy, which was almost something she had to study after meals every day. She only had to stay up every night and watch the astronomical phenomena at night.
Late at night, the couple was lying on the bed.
Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "Is there any movement in the little thing?"
Li Yue felt it carefully, "It seems to be there but it seems not to be."
"Really or not, why can't I feel it?"
"I'm not in my husband's arms, how could it be possible..."
At night, the couple were whispering, "Husband, please stop making trouble, we have to teach the children tomorrow morning."
"Have you already calculated the derivative problem?"
Li Yue looked at her husband's face with evasive eyes.
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Li Yue said softly: "I already know how to forget it."
Her red face was half-covered in the quilt, and she was holding the quilt with both hands. "I just know how to solve it, but I don't want to figure it out. I'm afraid that after I figure it out, my husband will have nothing to teach me."
"How is it possible? You have to learn a lot. When you learn it, you will teach it to our children, such as science and physics. I will also teach them chemistry and geography."
After saying this, Zhang Yang blew out the oil lamp.
In the morning, when Zhang Yang woke up, Li Yue was sitting at the table writing in thin pajamas.
Her pajamas and underwear are made of fine silk fabric, which is like a layer of gauze and very hazy.
Zhang Yang looked out the window. The sky was a bit gloomy today with no sunshine. It looked like it was going to rain. Autumn rain in West China was coming soon.
After finishing writing, Li Yue sat by the bed and opened a roll of paper, "Husband, check if it is correct."
The derivative is calculated based on the linearity of the function. When a function is infinitely close to zero, the rate of change is calculated. Now Li Yue's calculated formula is the definition of the derivative.
It is also a derivation formula for a common function.
Li Yue sat on the edge of the bed with her head lowered, as if she was ready to be lectured. She was filled with guilt for having kept this matter secret for so long.
"When was it calculated?"
"My husband already calculated it half a month after he proposed the question, but I was not sure before. After I calculated it many times secretly, I was able to deduce the derivation."
Zhang Yang looked at his wife intently, dissatisfied with talent.
"Looking at your sincere attitude in admitting your mistake, can my allowance be increased? It's not too high, sixty cents a day."
"No!" Li Yue replied immediately.
"What's wrong! Who told you to hide it all this time?"
"I still want my husband to teach me..."
"..."
"ah!"
There was another noise in the room, and the couple didn't stop until there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, the children are here."
Li Yue straightened her bun and got out of bed, then straightened her clothes, "Yes, I understand."
After speaking, she glared at Zhang Yang and took care of herself carefully.
After the couple got dressed and washed up, Zhang Yang went to open the door. The aunt standing outside let the children into the yard.
"Have you eaten them all?" Zhang Yang looked at these naughty children.
"We haven't eaten yet," Li Zhi said first.
"Brother-in-law, I want to eat duck with scallion oil."
This was said by Gao Yang.
Watching the chirping children walk into the house, they are a bunch of little devils.
Zhang Yang shook his head, "I'll eat the duck with scallion oil at noon. I'll make you a breakfast first, with scallion oil and eggs."
"I want to eat scallion pancakes!"
I don’t know which of these children is talking. They are all Li Shimin’s children, and I don’t know who they are. They all talk non-stop, as if they will never run out of saliva.
Two aunts and Xiao Wu helped Li Yue organize some books for the children. When Li Yue started teaching, they became quiet.
Zhang Yang walked into his kitchen. Breakfast for more than 20 children was a laborious task.
Boil a large bucket of rice and prepare today's dishes.
The whole village of Lishan, including Lantian County, collected all the wheat this morning and handed it over to Lantian County to raise taxes, so that each family can take it back.
Lishan Village is a centralized production company. You can put all the grain in one warehouse, and then take back enough grain for yourself. The excess grain fills six warehouses, and Shangguan Yi gives the money to the villagers.
Li Shimin looked at this process and asked: "You collected the grain to prepare for storage?"
Shangguan Yi explained: "Firstly, it is for tax purposes, and secondly, by polishing the grain into rice and flour, we can make other plans, and we can save a lot every year."
Pointing to dozens of small warehouses in the rear, Shangguanyi introduced: "The grains from previous years are also stored here. Of course, these are for emergencies. Any excess will be sold to Chang'an City."
Li Shimin thought, "It's a good way to benefit the villagers."
Shangguan Yi introduced to Li Shimin the current governance method in the village. Everyone is a collective, and each family's wages, including food and factory income, are based on work.
Li Shimin also calculated that in addition to men's efforts, women's work can also add an extra income to the family. According to Shangguanyi's story, every household has both husband and wife working, and each family can earn at least one hundred yuan a month.
, this is something that would be unthinkable in other villages and counties.
Shangguan Yi also talked about the village's marriage strategy, which made Li Shimin laugh and find it interesting.
"It made Your Majesty laugh. This method of marriage also caused a lot of jokes, and made people from surrounding villages and counties point fingers. However, Divine Doctor Sun very much agreed with this approach. It is only for a woman to marry after she is twenty years old.
The best age.”
This reminded Li Shimin of Li Zhi's marriage. This is what the queen is worried about now, and she doesn't want her to get married early.
Shangguan Yi added: "The county marquis has always insisted on his own opinion on this. Poor families marry off their daughters early. How can they wait until they are twenty? This is a problem faced by the village. There are very few women who are not married at the age of twenty."
"The DPRK and China are working together to boost population. Isn't Zhang Yang's approach going in the opposite direction?"
"Your Majesty, in fact, it is not necessarily the opposite. There are six families of men in Lishan this year. Marriage has nothing to do with age. It is only related to worldly opinions. Marrying a twenty-year-old woman and a fifteen-year-old woman is the right thing to do.
Likewise, in contrast, when we Lishan men and women get married, we care more about the opinions of both parties and will not forcefully marry."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Shangguan Yi sighed: "Of course there are three families who came to Lishan this year to get married. Who made us rich in Lishan?"
After chatting with Shangguan Yi for a long time, Li Shimin realized that this man who ran away from Hongwen Hall and came to Lishan to follow Zhang Yang had managed a run-down village into what it is today.
Zhang Yang definitely can't do so many things by himself. Someone must be helping him.
Now Li Shimin confirmed Shangguan Yi's ability.
Lishan is rich and prosperous, and Li Shimin also realizes that Lishan's approach is only suitable for such small places and villages.
If this was done in large places such as local state capitals, not only would it not have much effect, but it might also suffer the consequences.
This kind of collective work and distribution according to work is worth studying.
In July, the whole city of Chang'an seemed very dull.
In the palace, Li Chengqian was writing on memorials one after another. He was sweating profusely and had to stop writing from time to time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The eunuch came with a bowl of herbal tea, "Your Highness, this is tea to relieve the heat."
Li Chengqian picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "These memorials that have been reviewed will be taken to Zhongshu Province."
"Here."
Wiping away the sweat again, Li Chengqian drank the bitter herbal tea and looked at a memorial. This was a memorial from Luoyang. It said that a new pavilion had been built in Luoyang, and the people who entered and exited this pavilion were of high status.
people.
And the location is a lotus root field given to Qingque by his father.
I was curious, how could the officials in Luoyang submit such a memorial? Even if Li Tai's place was full of dignitaries, it can only be said that Qingque had the desire to make friends with the children of powerful people?
This is nothing, it's just a matter for the younger generation.
Even if this matter comes to his father, he will not pay too much attention to it.
It was not considered a state matter. Li Chengqian wrote and asked Luoyang to pay close attention to the co-ordination of land taxation and sent this memorial back.
Another official from Zhongshu Province hurriedly came over and said, "Your Royal Highness, Ashinadur has returned from the Western Regions and brought the heads of the four towns in the Western Regions with him. He also presented seals and credentials."
Thinking that Generals Niu Jinda and Li Daliang were also back, Ashinadur went to Gaochang by his father's order last spring, and then moved to the Western Regions. He counted the days to come back, and even according to the schedule, it was still possible.
Came back late.
Changsun Wuji also walked quickly.
Li Chengqian was wavering at this moment. When he saw Changsun Wuji coming, he felt as if he had seen a savior. "Does Duke Zhao know that Ashinadur has arrived outside the city?"
Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "I also know."
"I wonder what Mr. Zhao Guogong thinks should be done about this matter." While talking, Li Chengqian also soaked a cloth in ice water, so that it would cool down a lot when rubbed on his face.
Changsun Wuji replied: "I thought that this matter should be handled by the Foreign Affairs Council in advance, and I will place Ashinadur in the post house. After the Foreign Affairs Council has taken care of all the matters, I will report it to His Highness the Crown Prince, and the DPRK will make decisions later.
.”
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "What Duke Zhao Guo said makes sense, but the officials of the Zhongshu Province should keep records of the reception of Ashinadur in the Foreign Affairs Commission. I want to ask Xu Jingzong."
"I will make arrangements now."
In private, Li Chengqian was still willing to call Changsun Wuji his uncle, but in formal occasions in the palace, he would still call him Zhao Guogong.
Li Chengqian thought of the way the Foreign Affairs Academy handled things.
I didn't think so before, but now I look at the Diplomatic Academy from my father's point of view. Zhang Yang has always been very tough in presiding over diplomatic affairs. At this time, Li Chengqian is still worried about whether something unexpected will happen.
Although the Turks say that the situation is over, the situation is still serious.
Especially after Jie Li's defeat, Ashinadur's troops were not seriously injured, but retained their own strength.
This army should not be underestimated. At this moment, Li Chengqian also deeply understood the dilemma of his father's position.
Xu Changli is different from Zhang Yang. He will give some warnings more often.
Not like Zhang Yang who dares to make decisions.
Outside Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong and Zhang Elephant stood at the city gate to greet Ashinadur.
A group of war horses came towards the distance. When the Turkic soldiers and horses stopped in front of the city, the leader, Ashinadur, was looking around.
This Turkic Tiele's face was full of pride and disdain at this moment.
Xu Jingzong said loudly: "Please dismount Tiele and enter the city."
Ashnadur was still sitting on the horse, with his chin raised and his eyes dark, his tawny face full of distrust and suspicion.
"Please dismount Tie Le!"
Xu Jingzong shouted loudly this time.
Du Er pulled on the reins without any intention of dismounting, and he didn't know what he said.
Xu Jingzong asked the civil servant aside in a low voice, "What did he just say?"
"He said he only dismounts true heroes."
Xu Jingzong hesitated and said: "Does he mean that I am not a hero?"
The civil servant also smiled awkwardly.
In front of the city gate, everyone from the Diplomatic Academy came to face Ashnadul, who sat on his horse and showed no intention of getting down.
Another fast horse arrived, and the person handed a volume of letters to Xu Jingzong, "This is the words of the county marquis, and I would like to ask Mr. Xu to read it."
Xu Jingzong took the letter and read it, then closed his eyes and became more decisive, and shouted, "Here comes someone!"
The soldiers in front of the city gate took a step forward and asked, "What are your orders, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Jingzong pointed at the war horse in front of him and shouted: "Let me chop the horse down!"
These words made others hesitate, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Right in front of the city! If a Turkic Tiele dares to shout in front of Chang'an City, whoever gave him the courage to do so will be beheaded!"
After giving the order, several soldiers rushed forward.
Before Ashnadur could react, the sword flashed and the blade stabbed into the horse's belly and sliced it across.
The war horse fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
When the dust cleared, Ashnadur stood up in embarrassment. He saw his horse lying in a pool of blood, and he didn't even die completely.
For people on the grassland, war horses are like their relatives.
Ashnadur was filled with rage, and he was about to rush towards the soldiers in front of him with his sword in his hand. The swords clashed with the scimitars of the grassland after a fierce battle between them.
In less than a moment, Ashnadur was pushed to the ground.
Then hundreds of Turks who followed Ashinadur drew their swords, pulled up their reins, and raised their front hooves to charge towards Chang'an City.
"How outrageous!" A loud shout came from the city.
Li Daoyan rushed out of the city with his soldiers and immediately stood in front of the city. On the city wall, there were a large number of soldiers with bows and arrows ready to shoot to death the Turks below the city.
The soldiers who rushed out all held large swords in their hands.
An autumn rain was about to fall in the gloomy sky, and the two sides were at war with each other in front of the city.
When he saw Li Daoyan, Ashinadur was a little surprised at first. They had fought together in the Western Region before, and he shouted loudly in Turkic dialect.
Zhang Xiangxiang couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What is he talking about?"
"He said that we killed his war horse and wanted our lives to pay for his war horse."
"The Turks are like this, and the Turks' Tie Le is still so unruly. It seems that the battle at Yinshan was easy."
Li Daoyan looked at these Turks and then looked at Ashinadur, "Dur, you are not allowed to be presumptuous in front of Chang'an City."
"Aren't you in Tubo?"
Xu Jingzong was shocked to hear Duer speak Guanzhong dialect.
Li Daoyan replied: "Tubo has surrendered and will naturally come back."
