Chapter 500 Lishan that the emperor cannot see through
Zhang Gongjin followed Wang Shichong back then. He dared to put down the rebellion with more than a hundred people and took back the fifteen states of Henan without any danger.
Make strategic plans and be decisive.
He is a counselor whom Your Majesty trusts very much, but he is very arrogant, and neither Fang nor Du dare to look down upon him.
"It turns out that I was the one who led him to become a disciple of Zhang Gongjin."
As soon as these words came out, several scholars present started whispering among themselves.
Changsun Wuji added: "You don't have to worry, Zhang Gongjin is just a dying man. Once he dies, Zhang Yang will have no one to rely on."
Several scholars discussed in low voices again before getting up and leaving.
As Changsun Wuji bid farewell to them, these noble family members had to take good care of them, for fear that they would cause trouble.
For the sake of the country, Changsun Wuji admits that he has never slacked off.
The imperial examinations will continue to be held, but the gentry will continue to appease them.
Especially the imperial examination which was held for two consecutive years.
Are they talking about Zhang Yang? These people are not interested in drinking. In fact, they want to obstruct the establishment of imperial examinations and official schools.
In the palace, one has to deal with government affairs and take care of the mood of these wealthy families.
Changsun Wuji sat down again, looked at the letters sent by the old family members of Guan Long, and whispered: "Send a message to Guan Long and tell him that the court will never forget their support in the past, and the matter of their children joining the officialdom."
We can discuss it in the long term.”
"Here."
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Yuan founded the Wude Dynasty, he owed a lot of favors.
Some favors have not yet been repaid.
Changsun Wuji was in a very bad mood at the moment. He had to help His Majesty with these trivial matters, and there was also Zhang Yang who was misbehaving in the court.
"Report! Master, something happened to Ba Shang."
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Speak."
Buqu replied: "Today, the young master brought several big cannibals to Bashang to discuss future dealings. Xu Jingzong came with the people from Yushitai to get them. Now several big cannibals in Bashang have been arrested.
Got it."
Changsun Wuji was silent for a long time, then clapped his hands and said, "Well, Xu Jingzong, how dare you, the rats, come to my fief to take someone!"
"Report!" Another step came in a hurry, "Zhao Guogong, this is a letter sent by Pei Xingjian of the Foreign Affairs Academy."
When he heard the name Pei Xingjian, Changsun Wuji's brows jumped. He took the letter and looked at the contents. He had good calligraphy for a young man. It was written that what happened this time was a misunderstanding. The food merchant was under the supervision of the Ministry of Etiquette and secretly made friends with the court.
After Xungui, Changsun Chong was also beguiled by their words.
Seeing that the signature was Pei Xingjian's name, Changsun Wuji was no longer angry, and smiled and said, "Is it okay to be angry?"
"Young Master is fine."
Changsun Wuji looked at this letter with a smile on his face. The more he read, the more he liked it. "I cherish my talents. This is just a favor. Just treat it as a favor to Pei Xingjian. If you send a message to Xu Jingzong, say that I am doing it for the sake of your youth."
In the face of this generation, if I dare to go to Ba Shang to seize someone next time without my permission, I will not let him go lightly."
"That……"
"what happened again?"
"How do those big food merchants arrange it?"
"I have nothing to do with the life and death of the big cannibal. If you catch him, he will be caught. This is a matter for their Ministry of Etiquette."
"Well, let's go and make arrangements." Bu Qu left in a hurry.
At this moment, Pei Xingjian was waiting in front of the Diplomatic Academy, "Brother Xue, can you understand these books?"
Xue Rengui sat in front of the door, holding a book in his hand and nodding seriously, "I understand."
Pei Xingjian frowned and looked north of Zhuque Street. He was relieved when he saw Xu Jingzong coming back with people from the Ministry of Rites.
[Currently used, it is the most comprehensive and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Row."
Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly, "We don't even know what Zhang Shangshu looks like, and we have never seen him."
After a while, Xue Rengui, who was a little tired from sitting, stood and read with the scroll in his hands.
Xu Jingzong and his men approached. Pei Xingjian stepped forward and said, "The letter has been sent as arranged by Mr. Xu."
"You take these people to Dali Temple and imprison them first."
"Here." All the officials responded.
Pei Xingjian asked suspiciously: "Shilang Xu, are these big food merchants also under the control of Dali Temple?"
Xu Jingzong took off his official hat and scratched his back, "It doesn't matter, our minister still has some friendship with the young minister of Dali Temple."
"Our minister is really..."
"You really don't care about anything?"
"I don't mean that."
Seeing Pei Xingjian's salute, Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Actually, everyone here is the same. We, the five ministers in the Ministry of Rites, all have very good words for this minister, let alone you."
A clerk came in a hurry and said, "Shilang Xu, this is a letter sent by Zhang Shangshu."
Xu Jingzong took it with a frown, opened the sealing wax and looked at the contents.
Xu Jingzong was the only one who could often see Shangshu in this place. Pei Xingjian moved a few steps to read the contents of the letter.
It's okay not to read it. Standing behind him, Pei Xingjian looked at it eagerly. He was even more confused when he saw the content of the letter. He couldn't form this sentence between the lines.
"Shilang Xu, why is this letter..."
Xu Jingzong smiled and put away the letter, "This is a secret letter from our Diplomatic Academy. There is also a translation for reference."
"Can Master Xu read the translation this way without using the translation?"
Xu Jingzong smiled understandingly, "I have nothing to do, so I memorized it."
Pei Xingjian was speechless again. There were so many strange people in the Foreign Affairs Academy.
Just as Xu Jingzong was about to walk in, he looked back and asked, "Do you know a man named Wang Xuance?"
Pei Xingjian thought about it for a moment, "I heard that he beat up the Tibetan envoy and was later captured by Dali Temple."
"Yes! That's him."
"But I don't know the official..."
Xu Jingzong put the letter paper in his arms and took out another volume, "Go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and tell them to send the land and grain records from previous years to the Ministry of Rites."
"Here."
Seeing that Mr. Xu was busy with other things.
Serving in the Foreign Affairs Council can be regarded as leisurely.
Pei Xingjian looked at Xue Rengui, who was still holding a book and reading, "Brother Xue? Come with me?"
Xue Rengui nodded and walked along holding the scroll.
Brother Xue was already discouraged after failing the imperial examination twice, but in a sudden turn of events he was recruited by the Foreign Affairs Council.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, Brother Xue is working hard and studying hard to learn all the bad classics and strategies.
Seeing Brother Xue working so hard, Pei Xingjian sighed in his heart and whispered: "Brother Xue will definitely succeed in the future."
"Hmm." Xue Rengui nodded in agreement, scratched his head and said, "What does the Yin and Yang of soldiers in these seven strategies mean?"
Pei Xingjian walked all the way and explained: "The yin and yang of military tactics mentioned in the Qilue Bingshulue are used by a line of military strategists in hundreds of schools of thought. Among them, the key points are to follow the trend, to punish and attack, and to pay attention to follow the trend, to follow the time, and to distinguish the situation.
Seize the opportunity, Fan Zeng and Li Jue all learned this way in ancient times."
I lent these books to Brother Xue to read, and I don’t know how much of them he can understand.
The most I brought with me to Chang'an City was books like this, apart from the food and clothing needed for food and accommodation.
The elders in the family teach me to review the past and learn new things, and they often read it.
Just saying one sentence in these articles can lead to a long answer, and I am tired of it.
"But what do you need the land and grain records from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Pei Xingjian was walking on one side, and Xue Rengui was tall. Standing next to him could help block the sun, making walking on the street more comfortable.
Zhuque Street was very lively, with groups of three or five warriors, and some
There are literati debating the current situation.
The students in Hongwen Hall were still arguing about life and death. Pei Xingjian shook his head and smiled bitterly. They are all a bunch of idiots.
The scenery of Chang'an City is endless, and occasionally there is something new to do to pass the time.
The Zhuque Gate was right in front of him. Pei Xingjian took out his badge and the officers and soldiers guarding him let him go.
"Brother Xue will definitely become a general."
Xue Rengui nodded and said, "What about you?"
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "The world is huge. I want to see everywhere. I want to be a general who can conquer all directions."
Xue Rengui looked at Pei Xingjian's thin body with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
A letter from Zhang Yang was delivered to Chang'an City, and several ministers from the Ministry of Rites began to make arrangements for the next matters.
After some discussion, Xu Jingzong took Zhang Dashu to see the Prince of Persia.
This was the first time that the Tang Dynasty provided aid to Persia.
All assistance is provided is food.
As for what he was after, it was nothing more than Persian gold and silver.
On this day, Songtsen Gampo and the Western Turkic envoy Ni She left Chang'an City.
"Zanpu must have gained a lot from this visit to Chang'an City." Nishu led a group of Western Turkic soldiers out of Chang'an City.
He was alone when he came here, but now he has his own troops and can compete with Yehu Khan in the Western Turks.
Songtsen Gampo was riding a horse, accompanied by Ludongtsen and a group of Tibetan people. "What are you going to gain from this visit to the Tang Dynasty? I just suffered all the humiliation."
Lu Dongzan lowered his head and said, "I came to Chang'an every year in the past. Every time I came, I found that the city of Chang'an was more prosperous than in previous years. The Central Plains is becoming stronger step by step."
At this moment, Lu Dongzan had long lost the fighting spirit of the past. The battle at Hehuang had interrupted his integrity as the Prime Minister of Tubo.
"People in the Central Plains say that they are inferior to others, or that they are willing to endure hardships. The Tang Dynasty will not always be strong, and Tubo will rise up sooner or later."
The Western Turks and Tibet are separated by the four towns of Anxi and the Tianshan Mountains.
Although he is not a stranger, Nishu feels the same way as Songtsen Gampo at this moment. Don't think too much about the good nature of the Tang Dynasty.
The Ministry of Rites in Zhang Yang's hands is like a hungry tiger. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will bite the fattest piece of meat on his prey and slowly eat it away.
Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Anxi four towns...
"The Minister of Rites is a wicked man, and God will punish him." Ni She looked up at the sky and whispered.
Songtsen Gampo remained silent and rode his horse towards Longxi.
Zhang Yang was building a new home on the top of Lishan Mountain, while telling Li Tai the strategy of buying and selling grain.
"Since it is said to be a mutual market, people from the Western Regions must have something to sell to us. Why do we only talk about inflows?"
"Your Highness, King Wei, all bulk goods are handled by Lishan. From now on, only gold and silver will be used for transactions. The initiative in trade is in our hands, not in their hands. I am dumping it at a low price, so I am not afraid that they will not buy it."
These words refreshed Li Tai's understanding of trade and his identity as a merchant again and again.
"Since businessmen can also do things that are beneficial to the country, why has the DPRK repeatedly proposed to focus on agriculture and suppress business?"
Zhang Yang added: "Your Highness, King Wei, agriculture is the foundation of the Central Plains. This is eternal. There is an old saying that people depend on food. Everything that goes against agriculture needs to be controlled. The stronger the businessmen are, the stronger the rule of law will be."
Weak, thereby shaking the country's foundation."
Li Tai took a wooden board and plastered the exterior wall with plaster. The little bear sat under the shadow of the tree with a basket hanging around his neck. Xiao Wu and Xu Hui put all the wild flowers and fruits they picked in the basket.
It looked blankly at the two people in front of it, one large and one small, and sometimes looked sideways. The two people's movements of wiping the wall were surprisingly consistent.
Shangguan Yi came in a hurry. He brought a roll of drawings and divided Lishan's current industry into nine workshops, including ink, cotton washing, weaving, paper, lime, wrought iron, iron ore sorting, soap,
And a red and white sugar workshop.
These nine workshops are the production core of Lishan.
Zhang Yang and Li Tai, whose clothes were covered with white lime mud, were sitting together on a bench and watching intently.
It happened that Li Shimin also came from the forest.
"What a coincidence. Every time we have important arrangements, His Majesty always appears at the right time."
After these days of summer vacation, Li Shimin's complexion has improved a lot.
He looked at the drawings in front of him, "Is this where Lishan will be built in the future?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "It needs to be rebuilt again."
"Wouldn't it be very troublesome to rebuild all the factories?"
Shangguan Yi replied: "This arrangement is to separate the workshops from the farmland. The neat rows are also for future management and scheduling. We also need to build more than 20 warehouses."
Originally, he and Shangguan Yi were going to discuss construction matters, but now the emperor was asking all kinds of questions, trying to understand every detail of Lishan Mountain.
I'm afraid there's something he doesn't know.
The entire Lishan Mountain is under his nose at the moment, and he can know everything he wants to know.
As for those who don’t know, even if charcoal and saltpeter were placed in front of the emperor, he would not know how to make gunpowder.
The so-called borrowing a chicken to lay an egg, using the emperor's resources and privileges to design a factory, and then split the factory into several buildings.
Before the emperor woke up, he thought that Lishan was in his eyes, and then quietly integrated these resources to secretly make firearms.
Zhang Yang stood up disappointedly and continued on the lake wall.
The cries of children again came from the new home.
Zhang Yang looked around and heard his wife's words.
"The diapers made by my husband are not suitable for use. The child cries more fiercely than before, and it is not convenient to change."
Zhang Yang scratched his head and looked a little distressed when he came closer, "I'll do it in a different style next time."
Li Yue said stubbornly: "I will arrange the children's clothes."
"How about I change the blueprint for you?"
"That's fine."
The child finally stopped crying, but after a while she fell asleep again.
Zhang Yang took out a potted plant. He had planted olives in this pot before. Now its root system is strong enough and can be transplanted into the soil.
This tree grows slowly. It has been growing for two years and now it is not even half a meter tall.
It's still because it's not acclimatized to the soil, so it doesn't grow well.
As early as Qi Min Yaoshu, there are records of olives. Records of olive cultivation in the Central Plains can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.
Normally, it's okay to cultivate it at home. If you plant it outside, I don't know if it can survive the climate in Guanzhong.
"Husband, I have read in classics that the fruits grown from this tree are said to have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying."
Zhang Yang lowered his voice and said, "There are many varieties of olives. Is the variety you mentioned the same as ours?"
Li Yue's expression became a little more solemn, and she whispered: "The classics don't mention it in detail."
