The prince smiled and said, "It's already too late."
There was a group of children playing in front of the main hall. Zhang Yang stood up and refreshed himself, "Old Wang, how was the pickled radish before? Will it be too salty if the salt used is different?"
The prince sighed with emotion, "That radish is very good, it would be better if it was salty."
"If you think it's good, I'll ask the village to pickle more duck eggs in a few days."
"Let Zhang Shangshu worry about it."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "Don't stay out of sight, we have been friends for a long time."
Talking to Zhang Yang, this feeling of being respected makes people feel very comfortable.
He took out a memorial and said, "Your Majesty has already approved it, saying that the mutual trade policy can be presided over by Lishan, but if border defenses are to be increased, troubles will inevitably occur. Other old slaves don't understand, so I can only tell you this."
Zhang Yang nodded, "That's fine."
The prince continued: "There is one more thing. These days...the courtiers, whether they are civil servants or military generals, have asked about salary matters, but His Majesty has not given any reply. I think so many people have submitted memorials, so I still need to inform them.
Zhang Shangshu."
"Lao Wang, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, Zhao Guogong and Zheng Gong had many quarrels over this matter."
Looking at the approval on the memorial, which was obviously written by Fang Xuanling, Zhang Yang escorted Wang Gonggong to the outside of Shangshu Province and said, "You must pay attention to your health."
"There is no need to send it to the county magistrate."
After bidding farewell, Zhang Yang looked solemn.
Li Lizhi had been eavesdropping. She raised her chin and said, "My brother-in-law has done so many things for my father, but he doesn't even send anyone to help."
Zhang Yang took the memorial and said, "Tomorrow morning, before the morning is over, call your younger brothers and sisters to come here to help."
Being able to help with political affairs gives these children a huge sense of accomplishment.
This sense of accomplishment is something you can't usually experience when playing games.
She nodded solemnly, "Brother-in-law, just ask."
"Tomorrow morning I will set up some desks in front of the minister's office. Sisters who can write must be disciplined. All officials who enter the official residence must be registered, and one person must be kept by my side to take notes."
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely make arrangements."
This was the time when there were still many officials in the imperial city. Zhang Yang was walking in the imperial city holding the documents signed by His Majesty. All the ministries were still as busy. He used to get a lot of strange looks from the people around him, but he got used to it.
As far as money is concerned, the economy of the DPRK and China is a mess.
The Khan of Heaven is going to put me on the fire to roast me.
No one who is an emperor is a good person.
After catching up on some sleep at the official residence, I feel more energetic now.
It happened that Li Baiyao had just walked out of the Ministry of Rites. He looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain today."
Seeing that there were more and more gray hairs on his temples, Zhang Yang frowned and asked, "How is your health lately?"
Li Baiyao suddenly smiled, "It's okay to sleep and eat."
"The prince is busy with his wedding, do you still have free time these days?"
"It's not that I have free time. His Royal Highness the King of Wei is about to perform the crowning ceremony. However, the royal family said that everything should be kept simple, which is also what His Majesty ordered."
The two of them walked out of the Zhuque Gate together and saw several scholars fighting with each other.
It sounded like they were arguing over the issue of life and death.
Li Baiyao smiled and said: "This question has troubled many people. Some people have searched all the classics but can't find the answer. Now even children aged four or five can recite it."
"How great, Chang'an City now has an atmosphere of academic discussion." Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "Can you smell it?"
Li Baiyao asked curiously: "Do you smell wisdom?"
Zhang Yang took a deep breath again, "It's really going to rain. I can smell a lot more moisture in the air now."
"Moisture?"
"I've been too busy recently. I haven't slept well in the past two days, which has caused me to get angry and my nose feels uncomfortable. I can feel the humidity in the air."
Li Baiyao was stunned, "They say Zhang Shangshu's words are profound, but it's really hard to understand."
Zhang Yang snorted coldly: "I hate it when others say bad things about me behind my back."
Li Baiyao smiled, nodded and shook his head again.
Life needs interesting souls, who can always make an otherwise unsatisfactory life more interesting.
Back home, there were three or two maids in the palace talking to Li Yue. Zhang Yang put down the meat and vegetables he bought and picked up his daughter who was sitting in the stroller.
Now that I am holding her, she is no longer crying, but she is still resisting and struggling in my arms.
Give her to the bear, and she can lie quietly on the bear's back.
The little bear lay on the ground, letting the child grab its ears and pull its fur hard.
This bear is in the season of shedding, and every time she crawls over the bear, she also has a lot of bear hair on her body.
Hearing the words of the palace maid to his wife, Zhang Yang frowned and looked at the bear.
Xiao Wu came forward out of curiosity, "Master, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yang whispered: "Would you like to make a baby seat on the bear's back?"
"Let Xiao Qingqing sit on it?"
Zhang Yang nodded slightly.
Xu Hui also came over and whispered: "Little Qingqing likes to lie on the back of a bear and doesn't like to sit."
Li Yue asked her two aunts to see off the maids sent by her mother. "My mother said that my father's summer resort will be in Lishan Mountain this year. Fortunately, the house was still empty. I heard that this was your husband's suggestion?"
Zhang Yang nodded slightly and took out a piece of paper, "Your father has already signed it."
After Li Yue confirmed it, he folded it carefully and put it in a small box in the room. There were other signed notes in the small box. If her husband hadn't thought about the world and cared about the country, without these notes, the family would have been rich.
You can also leave a rich family fortune for your children to squander.
There were several blasts of thunder in the gloomy sky, and it was about to rain.
When the little bear heard the thunder, he took the child by the collar and walked back to the house.
Xiao Wu and Xu Hui hurriedly collected their clothes.
The falling rain made this secluded alley a little more lively.
The rain fell on the eaves and the ground. This kind of white noise was very comfortable to listen to, and the sultry heat of noon also faded away at this moment.
Li Yue sat under the eaves with a scroll in her hands. The thunder boomed in the night sky from time to time, so she could calm down and read the scroll.
She has read the two volumes "Ling Xian" and "Suan Wang Lun" many times.
If she wants to make a breakthrough in mathematics, these two volumes are her direction.
The theoretical and technical applications of mathematics are closely related to astronomical phenomena.
Zhang Yang poured himself a bowl of chrysanthemum tea and sat down on the eaves. "How many times have you read this book?"
"Sometimes I just want to read it a few more times if I don't understand it. There are only so many treasures left by Mr. Zhang Heng."
Li Yue picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. As soon as she tasted the tea, she realized that it was chrysanthemum tea. "My husband is angry again?"
"Yes, I haven't had a good sleep these days, but I can have a good rest at the official residence today."
Xiao Wu packed up a bunch of drawings at home. These drawings were all drawn by his master, and he didn't know what they were.
Xu Hui also helped organize it.
The two little girls also heard the master and the teacher talking in low voices, talking about important affairs of the government and thinking about the great wisdom left by the previous sages.
When Xu Hui was with her parents in the past, she often listened to her father and mother talking, talking about the family's affairs.
On the contrary, the conversations between master and teacher were very strange, and they often talked about the country.
I think that although the teacher is a woman, she can always give some countermeasures to government affairs.
The teacher likes to read, and only when the master is by her side does she take the initiative to put down the book and show a gentle smile.
Zhang Yang held a tea bowl and looked at the heavy rain in the sky. He called to the two aunts who were still cleaning up the backyard: "Auntie, help me cook tonight."
"Here."
The two aunts agreed in unison.
A few drops of rain drifted in with the wind, and occasionally three or two drops fell on my body, which was cool and comfortable.
Li Yue saw her husband drawing a form and whispered: "Auntie sent someone to send the news that Wang Gui fell seriously ill on the way to Liaodong, so he had to take the road back to his hometown to recuperate."
"The old gentleman actually does what he says."
"What's more important is whether he can become an insider in the DPRK."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was already a curtain of rain in front of him. Zhang Yang sat on a small bench and said, "Just think of it as a good relationship. His old man has also wanted to leave the court for a long time, and I also hope that the court will not be allowed to leave for the time being."
To intervene in Liaodong's affairs, I need time, and Da'an needs it even more."
The little bear sat by his bowl, staring at the rain in the sky in a daze.
"Are you still writing in your diary?"
When her husband suddenly asked her this question, Li Yue snorted coldly, "Oh, husband, do you think I am still a child?"
Zhang Yang clicked his tongue and said, "Sure enough, women are fickle."
With the pacification of the Western Regions, the prosperity of the Silk Road came ahead of schedule, and the exchanges between the East and the West became increasingly close.
With the rapid expansion of the Great Eclipse, they were frantically conquering some small countries in Central Asia. As long as they crossed Persia, they would border the Tang Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that more and more Westerners are traveling between Guanzhong and the Western Regions.
They brought a lot of strange goods of all kinds.
Then came news from Persia.
During today's morning meeting, Li Shimin noticed that Zhang Yang's energy was much better than before.
Faced with the remonstrances of the ministers, Zhang Yang stood up and took out a form, "It has only been less than a month since I was appointed Du Zhilang, and I heard that many of the six ministries and even the Wei Mansion owed salaries that they had not paid.
I have a form here where you can record the amount of salary you received, how many people, and how many people."
"Send it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to review and confirm that the roster is correct, and then you can come to Shangshu Province to collect the money." Zhang Yang stood in front of the court and told everyone.
Cheng Yaojin took a step forward to grab the form, but saw Chang Sun Wuji's hand also grabbing the form.
Neither of them let go, each holding a corner of the paper.
If it weren't for the high quality of the paper produced by Lishan, this form would have been torn in half.
Cheng Yaojin grabbed the paper without letting go, "Mr. Zhao Guo, what does this mean?"
Changsun Wuji also grabbed this piece of paper and said, "Zhijie, you have been fined for so many years, why are you so anxious to receive your salary? There are many people in the civil service waiting for this salary to support their families."
Niu Jinda took a step forward and said, "What Mr. Zhao Guo said is wrong. Why do civil servants have to wait to support their families? Don't the tens of thousands of soldiers in our army have to support their families?"
Cheng Yaojin stared wide-eyed, "Hey, wait, are there as many soldiers as the civilian officials can do?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Cheng Yaojin's words offended all the civil officials present, and the military generals were not easy to offend either.
The civil servants and military generals began to quarrel again.
The Tai Chi Hall was noisy, and Li Shimin shook his head and left.
It didn’t matter if the emperor didn’t leave. As soon as the emperor left, the quarrel in the Taiji Hall became more intense. Seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, Zhang Yang left quickly.
I don't know whose shoe flew out, but when I looked back, I saw that Cheng Yaojin and others were already fighting with Wei Zheng and his group.
As for my form, I don’t know if they have read it.
Zhang Yang stood melancholy outside the hall.
Xu Jingzong walked over in small steps, "The morning court was so noisy again. I had something else I wanted to tell His Majesty."
"Our Tang Dynasty is so tough, it is a good thing that the court is full of vitality."
Zhang Xiangxiang also came out with Da Su and Li Chongyi. If everyone in the Ministry of Rites did not participate in this kind of court dispute, the money given by the Foreign Affairs Academy was more than the salary in the court.
Zhang Dashu cupped his hands and said: "There is a big food merchant who claims to be the envoy sent by the four great haris of the big food industry. He said that he wants to see your majesty and offer several beauties from the Western Regions to the Khan of Heaven."
Xu Jingzong said suspiciously: "I have seen those beauties from the Western Regions. They really don't wear much. I don't know if they will catch cold."
Several people stood in front of the hall feeling worried. Qin Qiong staggered out of the Tai Chi Hall. First he solemnly put down his official hat and shouted: "Sour scholar! Don't be so presumptuous!"
"Hey!" Qin Qiong shouted and rushed in again.
Zhang Elephant looked worried, "General Qin Qiong is not in good health, will something happen?"
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I have given up drinking for many years. I was in good health when I went to see him last year. Besides, being active now is good for your body."
Zhang Dashu hesitated and said: "Do you want to introduce that big eater to Tian Khan?"
Speaking of cannibalism, we should also talk about what happened when Su Dingfang went to steal Songtsen Gampo's hometown.
Zhang Yang frowned, "Did this big cannibal talk about General Su Dingfang?"
Zhang Dasu shook his head, "I didn't say it in front of us."
Xu Jingzong thought about it, "Maybe I can say it in front of His Majesty."
Everyone in the Ministry of Rites discussed for a long time, but the chaos in Taiji Hall was still going on, and they didn't know if anyone would be killed if the fight continued like this.
Zhang Yang said to the guard on the side: "Have you notified the Imperial Medical Office?"
The guard seemed to have just come back to his senses, "Let's get ready."
Zhang Yang put his hands up and asked, "Is that person from Dashi called Aluoben?"
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Da Su, what is your name?"
Zhang Dashu also scratched his head, "Da Shiren can't speak Guanzhong dialect. His name was quite long during the conversation at that time, so I didn't remember it."
After some melancholy, several people left the Tai Chi Hall and went about their own affairs.
On the way to Shangshu Province, I saw a group of medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office hurried towards Taiji Hall.
While running all the way, Lu Zhaolin held the medicine box in one hand and held his official hat in the other, "Shilang Zhang, how was the fight at Tai Chi Palace?"
"It's very tragic."
Zhang Yang said lightly and continued walking forward.
Lu Zhaolin only stopped for a moment, then quickened his pace to go to the Tai Chi Hall.
Being a medical officer in the Imperial Medical Office in the palace is also very hard. The court style is so tough and fierce, and I always feel frightened when I hear about fights in the Tai Chi Hall.
Military generals were all heroes who fought in the world in those days, and literati were important counselors who made plans in those days.
