The father and son of the Cheng family live like bastards, the old guy Hutu is a bastard, and the young guy also has a strange mind.
"Why do you sigh?"
Zhang Yang walked towards the village with his hands in his hands, "I'm just worried about the rest of your life."
Cheng Chumo had a serious look on his face, "You're worrying too much."
"Yes, I have been busy with matters at court and central government recently. I have both immediate worries and long-term worries. I have become angry recently. I will discuss retirement matters with Your Majesty next time."
"I often say to myself, I don't know what your kid grew up on. I want you to eat more and live a more alert life."
Zhang Yang's lips twitched and he laughed, "What a coincidence, back then the Prince of Hejian County often asked me what kind of thing I was."
After looking Zhang Yang up and down, Chu Mo got on his horse and left.
Cheng Chumo has reached the age where he should find a girl. It's hard to imagine what it would be like for this guy to have a relationship with a girl.
Generally speaking, fights can only lead to deeper grudges.
It doesn't always make your relationship better just because of it.
How to help him? Zhang Yang scratched the back of his head and worried about this damn youth.
His Majesty Li Taihe is walking in front.
The royal motorcade was very long, and the squeaking sound of the wheels of the carriages could be heard.
The convoy was not moving very fast, and the little bear was running happily in the village. At this moment, the chickens and dogs in the village were restless.
When the emperor arrived, all the prominent people in Lishan Village came to see him. Shangguan Yi, the warrior Xun, the prince of Hejian County, and Ouyang Xun all came.
Five years later, when he came back to his senses, Li Shimin realized that Yue'er and Zhang Yang were running the Lishan area, and there were a few capable people helping them out.
Especially Shangguan Yi in front of me, a rare governance talent among young officials. This kind of people should be sweating for the country in the court, instead of settling in a corner like they are now, staying in Lishan to help Zhang Yang do some shady things.
things.
A group of children got off the carriage. They looked around and then ran quickly towards Zhang Yang.
Listening to his sons and daughters talking about each other as brothers-in-law, Li Shimin felt lonely again, "Why are these children..."
Empress Changsun and her maids were sorting out some of the things in the palace, and said, "The children are very close to this brother-in-law."
Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at the entire residence in front of him.
Eunuch Wang explained: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei had people renovate this place to make it more spacious."
Empress Changsun looked at this residence. It was built against the mountains and faced the southeast. The morning sunlight could shine here, and it could avoid the sunlight at noon, so that the place would not look cold or too hot.
"Although it is a little simpler, it is pleasant to live in." Empress Changsun commented.
Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Yang again and walked into the house on his own.
At this moment, Zhang Yang was dealing with these naughty kids, "I'll make cakes and scallion chicken for you tonight, don't worry."
A group of naughty children shouted one brother-in-law at a time.
Until Li Yuan arrived, the children ran towards their grandfather again.
What a group of lively little devils.
The soldiers and horses were stationed outside the village, which was the same as before.
Li Tai and Li Xiaogong were discussing something when Zhang Yang stepped forward and said, "Prince Hejian, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Xiaogong no longer wore official uniforms or official hats. He looked like a country roughneck, especially the beard on his chin that was... thicker.
"This kid Qingque always doesn't let me get involved in sugar matters."
"For future important matters, please wait for two more years. My brother-in-law and my father have made an agreement."
Zhang Yang explained: "It is true that the sugar business is related to the country and has always been carried out in secret."
Li Xiaogong added: "I can keep it a secret."
"Then what should we do if Prince Hejian is talking in his sleep and by chance someone else overhears his words in his sleep?"
Li Xiaogong was silent again.
Zhang Yang turned to look at Li Tai, "Wei
His Royal Highness has to preside over the construction of Lishan Mountain again and has to help explain it, which is really hard work."
Li Tai also clasped his hands with a sad look on his face, "It's not hard work, life is hard."
He explained to Li Xiaogong the current situation in Lishan.
"Prince Hejian, many places in Lishan are connected with His Majesty, and there are many things that are difficult to explain clearly."
"Your Majesty just trusts you."
"Yes, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
Zhang Yang walked all the way back to the village while talking.
As soon as the little bear enters the village, he sticks to all the dogs in the village, and even fights with the ducks in the duck pen. Even though he is a little embarrassed, he still wants to show his dominance.
Li Xiaogong asked: "I heard that you had a quarrel with His Majesty Songtsen Gampo in front of him?"
"You know me. I'm usually very reasonable."
"Yeah?"
"Your Majesty is the one who is unreasonable."
Li Xiaogong subconsciously looked around and said, "You have no military power and are of great use to the government. Your Majesty, please be patient and don't be too arrogant."
"Don't worry, I will be humble if I can." Zhang Yang said and took out a pen, "This pen is for you."
Li Xiaogong did not take over the pen, "I am not good at calligraphy, so I don't need it on a daily basis."
"Prince Hejian, this is the first hair of my child."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong didn't speak for a long time, just looking at the pen in a daze.
Zhang Yang added: "If you don't want it, I will keep it myself."
Li Xiaogong grabbed it with one hand, "I recognize your child as a granddaughter. When the child grows up, if someone bullies her..."
"Be sure to tell the King of Hejian County so that you can take revenge."
"Yes." Li Xiaogong nodded with a straight face, "I will cut him into pieces."
"I have to go see the teacher, so I'll take my leave first."
"good."
Li Xiaogong watched this kid leave. This kid used to follow Qing Que and Chu Mo all day long, but now it seems that his back does not look shabby. He has started a family and has his own foundation.
Taking out the pen again, Li Xiaogong had a smile on his face. He was so happy that he wanted to laugh but could only hold back. He raised his head and looked around, then walked towards his residence.
Zhang Yang came to the teacher's house.
The teacher was arguing with his wife. The teacher said he didn't like the wheelchair he was sitting in.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming, the teacher's wife quickly put away her expression and put on a smile, "Zhang Yang is here, go quickly, the old man always talks about you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Gongjin sat on the chair, "Your Majesty came to Lishan to escape the summer heat again?"
Zhang Yang nodded, took out a writing brush and said, "Send this pen to the teacher."
Zhang Gongjin nodded slightly, "It's rare to see you give me something as a gift to the study room."
"This was made by my child's first hair. I made two pens and gave them to the Prince of Hejian County. She shaved them off when she was four months old."
Zhang Gongjin looked at the pen for a long time without saying anything.
"Is it suitable for the teacher to live here? The Queen said that we can arrange a palace maid for us." Zhang Yang explained: "The teacher also knows that I am used to being alone, and I like to do many things by myself, especially when it comes to daily life.
I like to be taken care of by others. If the teacher's life is inconvenient, I can bring it to the teacher."
Zhang Gongjin waved his hand and said, "I'm in a fair condition. Doctor Sun has examined me. I can't say I'm getting better. At least I can live like this for a few more years."
Having said this, Zhang Gongjin sighed: "You live a lifetime. When you are young, you are full of energy. When you are old, you want to leave early. This body is too heavy. If I were not worried about your kid getting into trouble, I should have passed away. I can't worry about you."
.”
As he spoke, Zhang Gongjin put his pen in his arms. "You have entered the Shangshu Province now?"
"Yes, I am the only one in the entire mansion. I have heard of ostracism in the workplace before, but I didn't expect that I would still be ostracized and isolated by them in the court."
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said, "You're still in charge of the central government's treasury?"
"Not just a treasury, but also a grain depot."
"Recommended by Changsun Wuji
your?"
"That's right. This old fox is just waiting for me to laugh at you. The students are not afraid of him, so they don't have the ability to learn. The students only have money."
"I had advised you to become a disciple of Changsun Wuji, and you wouldn't have suffered like this."
"The teacher is laughing, but the students are used to being stubborn."
"I don't know how blind this thief is, to let such a good skill fall on you alone."
"The skills that students learn by themselves are not given by God for free. What the teacher said is inappropriate."
"The wealth and power in the court are equally important. Your Majesty entrusts you with this important task, so you will not have friends in the court. It will be like an empty Shangshu Province. You will always be alone, with no one to stand with you."
Zhang Gongjin closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is not a kind person. Don't be arrogant and arrogant at this time. The last person who was so arrogant was Tang Jian. Look at his current fate."
Speaking of Tang Jian, Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Actually, there are still some misunderstandings between the student and him."
"Changsun Wuji is very thoughtful. Your Majesty has deep intentions in appointing people. You still have a lot to learn about the matters in the court."
The mistress brought tea and some homemade dried meat.
The sky is cloudy again, and thunderstorm is coming again.
Zhang Yang replied: "Teacher, I don't understand government affairs."
Hearing this sincere reply, Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said: "You just need to remember that there are no good people in this court, do not seek personal gain, do not make friends with the Six Ministries, have no military power in your hands, and know right from wrong, you will probably be safe in this life.
"
"I have met countless people in my fifty years of life. After coming out of troubled times, I have seen many people and many things. I also know what kind of person your Majesty is. He wants benevolent government and merit. You just need to give him what he wants.
That’s fine.”
Seeing that Zhang Gongjin's breath was a little unstable, he didn't know if it was because he was talking about something exciting.
Zhang Yang knelt down and stroked his back, "Teacher, relax and exhale slowly."
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Gongjin's breathing became much smoother. He held Zhang Yang's hand and said, "I know that I don't have much time left, so you must take good care of the elephants, Da Su and Da An."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Teacher, I understand. I know how to take care of you. Brother Elephant is a good person who respects etiquette and teaches. He is cheerful and has a literary and heroic spirit. His innocence and freedom are also good."
Holding the teacher's hand, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "And Daan, this child is honest, sincere, and kind. These are the qualities that the teacher hopes they will always keep. I understand."
Zhang Gongjin smiled in relief and said, "It's going to rain. You should go back and see the child."
Zhang Yang stood up again and said, "Teacher, please live a few more years. I will greet the three brothers Xiang, Dasu and Da'an. The stupid student last quarreled with His Majesty Songtsen Gampo in front of him. I can't live without you."
, maybe the student has been chopped down."
"I promise you, I will live a few more years."
"Hey, teacher, please take a rest."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he walked out of the house. A few drops of rain fell, and thunder rumbled again in the sky.
It is said that most counselors are not good people. They have harmed too many people in their lives?
But all the sons taught by the teacher are good people.
Or maybe you have done too many bad things, and you want some compensation in your heart, so you place it on your children.
Looking up at Lishan Mountain, the construction of this new home is going on intermittently. We will speed up the progress in the future and take advantage of this summer vacation to complete the exterior wall.
The carriage that arrived was parked in front of his house.
Xiao Wu and Xu Hui are washing the bear's hair and paws.
A huge map hung in the room, thunder flashed across the sky, and the little bear ran into the room and hid under the table.
The heavy rain fell, and Xiao Wu and Xu Hui also came back.
The two aunts were still sorting out the bed and furniture.
Li Yue held the scroll in one hand and stared at the map, "Husband, is there really a lot of gold in the West?"
"There is a lot of wealth in this world." Zhang Yang took out a gold coin, "This is the gold coin that Persian merchants brought when they came to Chang'an City."
Li Yue picked up the pen and wrote the wave
The place was circled.
"At the beginning of this year, many Western Turkic cattle, sheep, and horses were frozen to death. Judging from the news sent by the Foreign Affairs Commission, it was not just the Western Turks." Zhang Yang also drew a big circle, "The cold air in Siberia
Not only did they attack the Uighurs in the west, but also in the north of Altai and south of Lake Baikal."
The map in front of the couple is half a world map, and it is unique.
Zhang Yang drew it according to the memory of later generations. There must be deviations in many places, but the difference will not be too big.
Li Yue frowned and said, "If the Tang Dynasty goes to war with Xue Yantuo, and if Xue Yantuo loses, the war is likely to spread to the Uighurs north of Qiaoba Mountain."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, it is difficult to annihilate Xue Yantuo's troops. Mobei is such a large area, and the soldiers can attack thirty miles a day. Unless everyone's mounts
They are all hard-blooded horses that can run hundreds of miles."
Li Yue took out the account book again and said, "The land tax collected by the government last year was 16 million dan, plus the remaining grain in the granary in previous years is 37 million dan. I'm afraid it will not be easy for so much grain to be scattered outside the customs."
"We will hand over the surplus grain that has been accumulated for more than three years, which is 20 million shi, to the people of Gaochang, and ask them to help us disperse the grain."
"Using the agreement on border trade, our family can earn 50% profit from it. I originally thought about making wine, and the profit from wine would be higher. It concerns the price of wine in the Central Plains, and the DPRK and China have not agreed to it for the time being."
Li Yue pondered, "You can try it once and see the effects."
The benefits of the Silk Road are gradually recovering. As long as the Western Region is stable, the prosperity of this trade route can bring huge wealth to Guanzhong.
Lishan is the second largest shareholder of Jiayuguan.
As the sky fell into the night, rain drifted over the village. The couple discussed their future plans in a low voice. They would try everything. As the government said, the grain accumulated over the years is almost hairy. If it is not sold, it will become an animal that will not be eaten.
of burden.
This was an attempt on the Silk Road and the couple's first attempt to expand trade routes in the Western Regions.
Xiao Wu and Xu Hui sat side by side on the threshold, watching the rain falling along the eaves.
Li Yue sat by the oil lamp and calculated the accounts carefully.
The north suffered a severe cold at the beginning of this year, and it may not be able to recover until at least the spring of next year.
Use food as a weapon to plunder the West.
The couple set a goal for their first transaction, selling 300,000 shi of grain to Persia.
