Zhang Yang wrote down three numbers, "Look carefully, the first number is the page number. I can turn to the page number I am on. Each page has coordinates. For example, I am writing six, seventy-nine, page six, page
Seven rows, ninth column.”
After saying this, Li Yue understood. She asked curiously: "Were the secret messages in the military like this in the past?"
"I haven't seen it, so I don't know. It might be a verbal code."
Xiao Wu was pushing the stroller and taking the child to enjoy the sun. She just stepped back a few steps and tried again, "Master, the stroller is broken."
Zhang Yang put down his pen, walked up and looked at the stroller with a frown, and tried it, "The wheels are stuck."
While talking, he asked Xiao Wu to carry the child back to the cradle, and Zhang Yang took out his toolbox and started repairing the stroller.
The wheels are designed after carriage wheels, and because they are made of wood, the front and rear axles are badly worn.
Knocking in the corks and reinstalling the wheels, the stroller with a jammed wheel was quickly repaired.
The little bear sat aside and yawned. After having enough time in the sun, he went back to the house to see the children.
Zhang Yang carefully pulled out the wooden thorns on his fingers.
Li Yue took a bench and sat down aside, "My husband's fingers are too rough, so I'll do it."
Holding broad palms in both hands, Li Yue carefully picked out the wooden thorns on his fingertips. He didn't think it was possible before, but now he sees that there are many marks on his hands.
"So many calluses." Li Yue whispered and pulled off some dead skin.
Zhang Yang grinned, "These are the hands of laborers. They used to do a lot of hard work. Now even if they are not as busy as before, these calluses are always there."
All the furniture in the house is made by Zhang Yang, and her husband is very capable of doing things, from tables and chairs to cradle, and he can even make toothbrushes out of unwanted pig bristles.
He can fix whatever is broken in the house.
Just looking at this broad palm, Li Yue grabbed it with both hands and said, "Find some servants for our family. The Queen Mother said that we can choose by ourselves as long as they are from the palace."
“I always feel uncomfortable letting others take care of my daily life.”
"The maids in the palace are very diligent in their work."
"I'm used to doing things myself, and I don't like letting others take care of me." Zhang Yang stood up, touched her head, and continued writing the secret text.
As the imperial examination approaches, more and more people come to Chang'an City.
Xue Rengui finally came to Chang'an City in time for the imperial examination.
Pei Xingjian personally greeted Brother Xue, and the two talked about their future ambitions. During the process, they also asked about Xue Rengui and Liu's plans.
Xue Rengui drank wine and said, "This is my last visit to Chang'an City."
Pei Xingjian stopped pouring the wine and asked, "Why?"
Xue Rengui took a sip of wine, with a look of helplessness and frustration, "I am a man, I can get married anytime, but she can't. Her age has passed year by year, and she has reached the age to get married."
Pei Xingjian comforted him, "Brother Xue, when I become a scholar, I will help Brother Xue arrange this marriage."
The servants were also angry after hearing this. The foreigner named Liu kept holding Xue Rengui in his mouth with his daughter Liu.
Poor Liu's girl and Xue Rengui are also in love.
Xue Rengui put down the wine bowl and said, "I have already made a plan. Even if I can't become a scholar when things happen here, I will quietly return to Hexi and take the Liu family away."
Are you planning to elope?
To take such a big risk and take it so desperately.
Pei Xingjian poured the wine again and said, "Brother Xue, break it off when it's time to cut it off. That's what a man should do. I wish you all the best, brother!"
Xue Rengui was drunk, and Pei Xingjian helped him to the post house where he lived.
The servant whispered: "Young Master, do you need someone to help Brother Xue in Hexi and stop that Yuanwai Lang?"
Listening to Xue Rengui's snoring, Pei Xingjian, who was fifteen years old, looked out the window solemnly, "I still remember what Liang Zhu and Red Mansion were talking about."
The servant asked curiously: "Do you have any insights, young master?"
Pei Xingjian smiled self-deprecatingly, "It is said that lovers will eventually fall in love with each other, but what things in the world can transcend etiquette? After all, it is still a lament."
Pei Xingjian has been taken care of by Brother Xue since he was a child.
Now that the Xue family was in decline, Pei Xingjian wanted to take care of Xue Rengui since he became an adult.
But Xue Rengui is now a servant who works on other people's fields.
The young master doesn't care about his status, but the people in the clan don't want him to have too much contact with Xue Rengui.
In order to clean up the people of the nine surnames of Zhaowu who were placed in Guanzhong, Cheng Chumo sent many people out.
You must not enter the city with weapons, so these people from the Western Regions are also arranged near Chang'an City.
The Braised Pork Gang's gang captured many people as soon as they were dispatched.
At this moment, Sun Fujia of Dali Temple interrogated this assassin from the Western Regions and the result came. The reason was that the Western Turkic envoys had no news in Chang'an City and did not go back to join them.
According to the Western Turkic envoy's previous explanation, as long as he didn't show up for half a month, he would be killed.
However, Sun Fujia continued to investigate, including questioning people from the Foreign Affairs Commission, but later realized that the clues had been cut off.
Only that day Anyan Yan was very drunk in the post house.
Seeing that the eucalyptus had become a piece of cake again, including Lu Chengqing's eucalyptus, Sun Fujia could sense that there was a force at work in Chang'an City.
The other party is experienced and clean.
After completing one thing, he quickly left. After serving as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for only half a year, Sun Fujia felt like he was facing a powerful enemy. The opponent was a force with organization, dispatching ability, and even overall planning.
It is easy to deal with thieves who usually make trouble in small groups, but to deal with such a well-organized force, the opponent is always in the dark.
Sun Fujia felt that there was nothing he could do with his strength.
After the spring plowing, it was May of the ninth year of Zhenguan.
Lishan is very busy in May.
Zhang Yang built part of the wall for his new home and came to live at the foot of the mountain. It was rare for his younger brothers and sisters from the palace to come to Lishan. They came to Lishan to play in the name of visiting the emperor's grandfather.
Your Majesty turned a blind eye and couldn't stand these children playing around in the palace, so he simply let them come to Lishan.
Zhang Yang took a shower and sat on a recliner. Lying beside him were Li Xiaogong and Li Tai.
The uncle and nephew were eating tea eggs.
Li Tai handed over an egg and said, "Brother-in-law, the prince is getting married."
Zhang Yang took the tea egg and ate it, "I know, may I ask when His Highness the King of Wei will hold the crown ceremony?"
Li Tai thought about it, "My father said that Li Baiyao from the Ministry of Etiquette would make the arrangements. I don't know how long it will take."
Li Zhi ran over quickly, "Brother-in-law, burning flames can consume air, so how do you get the burned air back?"
Faced with this question, Zhang Yang looked numb, "Why does His Highness the King of Jin ask this?"
"If everything is determined, what is missing will be missing. If it keeps burning, won't it burn out the air?"
Zhang Yang whispered: "Everything is conserved. It seems to have disappeared, but in fact it just exists in another form, and then comes back in another way."
"Is there anything in this world that my brother-in-law doesn't know?"
Zhang Yang lay down and looked at the sky, "Yes, I really want to know if dinosaurs were hairy."
"What's a dinosaur?"
Zhang Yang sighed: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I am sick, and it is very serious."
"Ah?" Li Zhi froze on the spot, "What kind of disease is it?"
Zhang Yang turned over and lay on his side, "My illness is very weird. I can't talk to people too much in a day, otherwise my energy will be severely damaged and I will be seriously ill."
"Cough cough cough..."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong kept coughing, which was too perfunctory.
Of course Li Zhi knew that his brother-in-law was perfunctory, so he had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Little Qingqing is five months old and she can crawl now.
As if she heard the sound of children playing in the yard, she grinned and crawled toward the yard. Every time she was about to crawl to the door, the little bear would appear behind it, pick up her back collar and bring it back to the house.
After that, little Qingqing would crawl out, and the bear would always pick her back up.
After going back and forth several times, it simply hugged the child with its paws, biting the dried meat in its mouth, and looked ahead.
Looking at this scene, Aunt Wang, who was mending clothes, shook her head helplessly. Who would let a bear take care of a child?
It's really embarrassing for this bear.
Her Royal Highness the Princess and the County Marquis are also really big-hearted.
Da'an's letters were always sent to the Foreign Affairs Academy first. Zhang Xiangxiang hurried to the village with the letter and handed it to his father.
Zhang Gongjin nodded from time to time as he read Da'an's letter, "Da'an is a boy who does things safely. After he settled the land with the households, he started allocating it again and encouraged the villagers to work in the fields."
Da'an has indeed grown up very fast. At first, he thought he would run into obstacles everywhere in Liaodong.
Zhang Elephant whispered: "Xu Jingzong was assassinated by people from the Western Regions in the street before. Fortunately, Su Dingfang was guarding the city gate at that time. If it happens again, I don't know what will happen."
Seeing his father still looking at the letter, Zhang Elephant said again: "Zhang Yang's foresight is indeed good, but sometimes I wonder if he is too tough, and there will be all kinds of troubles like this in the future."
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said: "Zhang Yang has always been like this. If you follow him well, what worries do you have?"
"I'm not only worried about him, but also worried about so many people in the Foreign Affairs Council."
"If it were Zhang Yang, he wouldn't have so many worries. He is clear about right and wrong, and takes firm actions after having a goal. This is what you brothers need to learn from him. As for other things, you don't need to learn them. They are just some
Bad habits."
Zhang Elephant lowered his head and said, "I understand, kid."
Zhang Gongjin picked up the chessboard and said, "I went to see the Supreme Emperor to play chess."
Due to reduced supply, sugar prices in Luoyang have been rising.
The children of the aristocratic families involved in this transaction were immersed in this huge gamble and could not extricate themselves.
Li Tai said goodbye to his brother-in-law and his family. He hesitated and said, "Isn't the time still not yet come?"
After playing the game for so long, it seems to be mature enough to close the net now.
Zhang Yang asked: "How many people are involved in this transaction now?"
Li Tai thought about it, "There are already nearly twenty people, among whom the disciples from the Grand Prince are the most numerous."
"Expand our business to Qinghe County."
"Qinghe?"
The little bear climbed onto the carriage, and Xiao Wu covered it with a raincoat and a bamboo hat. From a distance, it looked like a person sitting on the carriage shaft.
Zhang Yang sat on the shaft of the carriage and said: "Your father is at odds with the Cui family of Qinghe. They have been sending more troops to that area these days. Let your father know that our Lishan power is also helping him."
Cooperating with the emperor to fight against the aristocratic family was one of the conditions agreed upon at the beginning. To help Sheji, Tian Khan still needed to give the green light for the development of Lishan.
The carriage drove into Chang'an City. When a sturdy bear got off the carriage and walked all the way into the city, the onlookers around him kept exclaiming.
Walking into the alley, Zhang Yang stroked its hair and said, "In a few days, when our new home is built, you won't have to be pointed out by these people anymore. Let's go live in Lishan."
The little bear still raised his head proudly and didn't seem to care too much about these words.
Aunt Wang was standing at the door of the house, and Li Yue pushed the stroller and walked in with the two little girls.
Aunt Wang took out a volume of letters and said, "This is what Mr. Zheng asked someone to bring."
Zhang Yang walked into the house holding the letter.
Li Yue said curiously: "It's rare that Guild Zheng sends someone to deliver a letter."
In fact, Zhang Yang has not asked about the affairs of the DPRK for a long time. There are Zhang Dasu, Zhang Xiangxiang, and Xu Jingzong in the Foreign Affairs Council. With just a few of them, the Foreign Affairs Council can operate normally.
So much so that now I go home after court and will not stay in Tai Chi Hall for long.
In the past, if anything happened, Guild Zheng would come directly to explain it.
Zhang Yang looked at the contents of the letter and said, "Mr. Zheng said he had a cold and asked me to go to Zhongshu Province to take charge of some matters."
"It's the transition between spring and summer, so we still need to pay attention to the cold and warmth."
The child always doesn't want to sit in the stroller obediently. After Xiao Wu took her out, it wanted to crawl on the bear.
The little bear lay on the ground and did not want to move, letting its little master grab its hair. The group of princesses and princes had tormented it a lot since they arrived at Lishan Mountain, and now they had no energy to resist.
Li Yue said curiously: "Since my husband has been appointed as the Vice Minister of Zhongshu...it seems that he has not yet taken up a post in Zhongshu Province."
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "The people in Zhongshu Province are all your father's confidants. Sometimes I don't want to get too close to those people. They are all a bunch of old foxes. What if I follow their example and become bad?"
While talking, he also held a trigger in his hand. As long as it was pressed, the firing pin in it would trigger the gunpowder.
This is what the local thunder does.
According to this trigger switch, the size of the thunder will be very large.
Zhang Yang looked sideways at his wife who was washing her feet, "It should be as big as this basin, so it's powerful enough."
While soaking her feet, Li Yue was still holding her child in her arms, "If it's too small, it won't blow up anyone?"
"Because the composition of our gunpowder is not good, it is enough to set off fireworks, but the power is not that great. If we just put in a considerable amount of gunpowder, it is hard to say whether it can explode the shell, let alone the lethality."
The ratio still needs to be adjusted, and if the power needs to be increased, more experiments are needed.
"The child is sleepy. I will take the child to rest first, and my husband will go to bed early."
After Li Yue finished speaking, she frowned and glanced at the drawings hanging all over the table. The drawings were very complicated, and the various annotations were confusing at first glance.
Now that you have the core parts, you just need the outer shell and the iron pieces to increase the lethality.
This kind of thing is best used to defend against cavalry. Burying it on the ground can make it difficult for the enemy's troops to move.
The basin is wrapped in a large shell, making transportation and use very troublesome.
Zhang Yang continued to revise the drawings until late at night, listening to the snoring of the little bear, and then put down the pen.
Li Yue didn't sleep either. She was sitting on the bed looking at the questions her brothers and sisters had done today.
They are all factoring questions.
Zhang Yang collected all these homeworks.
Li Yue held a pen in her hand and watched the homework in front of her being taken away by her husband one after another.
"If you should sleep, you should sleep. You can't stay up late like this."
"My husband stayed up late first."
…
Li Yue was blushing and struggling, "The child will wake up..."
…
After a night passed, Zhang Yang walked out of the house feeling refreshed.
Mr. Zheng is also in his fifties. He usually seems to be in good health. This illness may have a serious impact on his body.
People at this age are prone to falling ill.
Standing in front of Chengtian Gate, he waited for the palace door to open. After waiting for a while, Xu Jingzong came.
The two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side into Chengtian Gate.
