She seems to have opened a door to a new world in making clothes.
I have an inspiration I didn't have before.
It turns out that making clothes is such a creative thing.
…
That night in Zongzheng Temple, Li Xiaogong had just finished handling Li Yuanchang's affairs and had some files recorded.
After confirming that it was correct, Li Xiaogong breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who can be in Zongzheng Temple are His Majesty's family members.
Although it was just a quick glance at the inn that day, Li Xiaogong always felt that the boy looked familiar.
Sitting in Zongzheng Temple, the voice of the maid came from outside again.
Two maids were sweeping the floor.
"I heard that Princess Runan's health has improved a lot."
"I haven't been able to cure it after so many years of treatment. Maybe I will get sick again in a few days."
I heard the maid talking outside the door.
Of course Li Xiaogong also knew about Princess Runan.
He sighed deeply and didn't pay much attention to these comments.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang came to the post house as usual and unexpectedly found a monk standing at the door.
After a while, He Fei came with a bag of money.
After closing the door, why bother untying the package and saying, "Why is there a weirdo standing at the door of this inn?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "It's really weird. Maybe that person is sick, so don't pay attention to him."
The two began to sit on the ground and share the money.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open again.
The little fat man strutted into the room with his nostrils pointed upward.
The door was already shaky after being ravaged over the past few days.
Along with Li Tai came a monk.
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "I dare to ask His Highness King Wei how this door offended you."
Li Tai said very cheerfully, "If the door is broken, I will pay for it."
After finishing speaking, Li Tai put a few parts on the table, "I found a few blacksmiths to build them. What do you want these things for?"
Zhang Yang put away these parts and "used them to make some small objects."
Li Tai looked at Zhang Yang again, "That drawing of yours..."
"I'll give it to you."
Li Tai recalled the time when he gave the drawings to the blacksmith in the Wei army.
The skills of those blacksmiths are top-notch, and they are the same blacksmiths who usually make weapons.
After they saw Zhang Yang's drawings, they felt particularly novel.
I have never seen anyone draw such a drawing.
The size is also very fine.
Li Tai whispered: "This autumn hunting may end early."
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
There was some confusion on his fat face, and Li Tai thought, "Something may have happened to Tuyuhun. The news has been sent to Lishan. Maybe by this time, my father has planned to return to the palace to discuss the matter with the ministers."
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "It's a pity. It seems that the business of braised pork will be reduced by more than half in the future."
"You still care about your business?"
Li Tai said in surprise.
Zhang Yang bowed slightly and said, "I don't know anything about the important matters of family and country."
Why bother to bow to Li Tai and then take the money to buy goods?
Li Tai looked at the monk standing aside, "This is the Japanese monk I told you about before."
The Japanese monk smiled and said in broken Guanzhong dialect, "I have met Master Zhang. The poor monk's name is Hai Kong."
This Japanese monk looks to be only about 1.5 meters tall, not very fat, and has a round face with a bit of greasiness.
Her skin is as fair as a girl's.
Li Tai smiled and said, "Look at how fair this monk is."
Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed fair."
Li Tai became interested again, "You see, this monk has no hair except from the top of his eyebrows to his chin, like..."
"Like a peeled egg?"
"Hahaha..." Li Tai patted the table and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are so right, it's just like a peeled egg."
The little fat guy is of low quality and his sense of humor is obviously not good.
Hearing Li Tai's ridicule, the monk looked a little unhappy, "Central Plains people often say that you can't judge a book by its appearance."
Zhang Yang said curiously, "This monk Zhongyuan speaks very well."
The Japanese monk looked at Zhang Yang and said: "After the poor monk arrived in the Central Plains, many powerful families asked the poor monk to explain Buddhism. The poor monk would often borrow some Central Plains books from them, and they all enthusiastically showed the books to the poor monk.
"
Zhang Yang didn't like this Japanese monk very much.
Especially a Japanese monk who is eager to learn.
The waiter at the post house brought a pot of wine and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, this is the best grape wine from the Western Regions. Do you want to try it?"
"OK."
Li Tai agreed wholeheartedly.
Wine is poured into the tavern.
The waiter also enthusiastically poured Zhang Yang a drink.
The sound of Western drum music came from downstairs.
A girl from the Western Regions, wearing bold clothes, was twisting her waist and dancing a bold dance on the first floor.
Li Tai stared at the hot figure and bold dancing of this girl from the Western Regions. He took a sip of grape wine and whispered, "You said that we went to the Western Regions for this sip of grape wine?"
Zhang Yang took a breath of cold air and said, "It turns out that Your Highness can still ask such a profound question. I admire you."
Occasionally, there will be outsiders coming and going in the post house.
Zhang Yang whispered to Li Tai, "King Wei, aren't monks a good thing?"
The words were not loud, but in the quiet room, the Japanese monk still heard Zhang Yang's words.
There was confusion in his eyes.
Li Tai was confused. "Where did you say that?"
Zhang Yang whispered to him: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, if you think about it carefully, the so-called scholars, peasants, industry and merchants, even if they are merchants at the lower level, have promoted economic development. Putting aside the scholars, peasants and workers, without merchants we would not be able to buy silk from the south.
Mutton from the north, right?"
Li Tai nodded slightly.
"There are only monks. Their profession is not among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but they are exempt from taxes and recruit people on a large scale. Their existence only brings harm to the country and the country, without any benefit. As their strength expands, this harm will disappear.
The more obvious it is.”
Li Tai nodded clearly, "No wonder my father has been wanting to return the monk to secular life for the past two years."
"Monks always say that the six roots are pure, but are they worshiping the Buddha? They are only worshiping what they think in their hearts."
After speaking, Zhang Yang patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "With that said, I will take my leave now."
Seeing Zhang Yang about to leave, the Japanese monk walked to the door and stopped him, "Master Zhang, why are you slandering us monks like this?"
But facing the tall Zhang Yang, the Japanese monk could only raise his head.
Zhang Yang continued to walk out of the room, bumping into the Japanese monk and staggering.
Zhang Yang left the post house and returned home.
Take out the quiver you designed before and install the parts one by one.
This time the entire quiver is considered complete.
Fully draw the small bowstring and buckle it.
Then put the small arrows in the quiver,
Having made all preparations, Zhang Yang put the quiver on his hand and aimed at a piece of pork hanging on the wall.
A hand pulled the rope loop, and the vibration of the small bowstring came.
Three arrows silently shot out from the wrist, piercing the pork on the wall.
The arrow penetrated so deeply that half of the arrow almost entered the pork.
You can imagine this if it were shot on a human body.
Even though the sleeve is small, its lethality is not small at all.
It's just a little troublesome to rewind it.
Seeing this scene, Li Yue opened her mouth in surprise, "Did you really make this murderous thing?"
Zhang Yang took off his sleeve and said, "Wear this thing with you and hide it in your sleeve at ordinary times. It can be used for assassination when you are in danger, and it can also be used for self-defense."
Li Yue picked up the sleeve and observed that there were two assembled sleeves.
One is big and one is small.
Obviously the small one is for himself, and the big one is for Zhang Yang.
Li Yue took the sleeve and said, "We can take it with us when we go out."
"Um."
Zhang Yang nodded
Li Yue seemed a little scared of such a lethal thing.
That night, Zhang Yang fell asleep in bed and heard the sound of digging in the yard again.
I saw my little daughter-in-law digging soil and burying money.
After burying the money, he washed his hands and face, returned to the house and saw Zhang Yang looking at him.
Zhang Yang looked at the yard and whispered, "How about I make you a safe?"
The moonlight shines in from outside the door and shines on Li Yue's little face.
"What is a safe?"
"It's a box that only you can open, and no one else can."
"emm..."
"Do you remember Huarong Road?"
"Of course I remember."
"We put the key in one of the chess pieces in Huarong Road. Only by taking out the chess piece can we get the key."
"What if I can't get out? No one can open it."
"How about changing it to a Rubik's Cube?"
Li Yue thought: "How to make a key from the Rubik's Cube?"
"I can make a new Rubik's Cube, and then make a machine expansion inside the Rubik's Cube. When you turn to the pattern you want, the machine expansion inside the Rubik's Cube can open the safe."
After listening to these words.
Li Yue knew that Zhang Yang's craftsmanship was superb, but...
She squatted on the ground with an aggrieved look on her face, drawing circles with her fingers, "But I can't even do the Rubik's Cube well..."
Zhang Yang patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, let's continue digging the ground every night."
Late at night, the couple sat at home and talked quietly.
On the other side of Chang'an City, Li Tai was also thinking about what Zhang Yang said during the day.
The desk in front of me is filled with files.
These files record the development of Buddhism over the years.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Unexpectedly, under the continuous wars in recent years, Buddhism has developed better.
There are even Buddhists who collude with the powerful to seize land.
However, in the end, these cases were all roughly understood.
In the past two days, my father has been trying to boost the population and encourage widows to remarry.
Because of years of war, Guanzhong is underpopulated.
The faster Buddhism develops, the more monks there are.
These monks are monks, they are not involved in production, let alone taxation.
Buddhism even recruits monks, resulting in an extreme shortage of strong labor in some places.
Even so, they are still recruiting monks aggressively when they are currently short of labor.
My father really had good intentions in letting the monk return to secular life.
Li Tai rubbed his eyes that were sore from reading the case file, compiled the information he collected in the case file into a memorial, and planned to submit it to his father in a few days.
Two days later, Li Shimin's autumn hunting ended early due to changes in Tuyuhun.
Zhang Yang is planning his second business plan.
The braised pork is really good.
Even though the autumn hunting is over, the sign has started.
The store has also gotten back on track. As long as it operates stably, it can still have a stable income every day.
Zhang Yang was fishing with a fishing rod by a river on the outskirts of Chang'an City.
I was thinking about making a bowl of fish soup for my wife in the evening.
Fortunately, the family now has a stable income.
There are many businesses that can be traded in Datang.
In fact, making soap is also a very good business.
Li Tai came in a hurry with two guards.
Why can't this little fat guy shake it off like a dog-skin plaster?
Li Tai came running all the way and said: "I finally understand what you meant before. Buddhism is really only harmful to the country but not good."
Zhang Yang said expressionlessly: "It is a blessing that His Highness King Wei can figure out such a profound question. How can we celebrate without wine?"
The voice fell.
Li Tai turned back to look at his bodyguard, "Did you hear me? Go get some drinks!"
"Here!"
The guard followed Li Tai all the way and didn't rest for a while before running back to buy wine.
It's quite pitiful to be the prince's bodyguard.
Zhang Yang asked: "How is that Japanese monk?"
Li Tai sat down by the river, "How do I know? I am not familiar with him."
Zhang Yang added: "Does His Highness the King of Wei know about the specimen?"
"Specimen? What is it?"
"People often dry some insects and leaves to absorb all the moisture, and then display them as specimens at home for viewing."
"Is there another way?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Yes, in fact, His Highness the King of Wei can also bleed the Japanese monk's blood, dry it, and then empty out the flesh and blood and viscera, make it into a specimen, and hang it at home."
A gust of wind blew by.
It was obviously broad daylight because of Zhang Yang's words.
I always feel like the wind is blowing around me.
The atmosphere was originally quite good, but after Zhang Yang said these words, it became a bit more solemn, making people shiver, as if there were a few more sinister winds blowing.
Li Tai whispered, "This is too cruel, besides! Even if you really do this, why do you still hang it at home?"
“You can not only appreciate it from time to time, but it can also guard the house and ward off evil spirits.”
"hiss……"
Li Tai took a breath, "I didn't think so before, but after listening to what Brother Zhang said today, I didn't expect you have quite unique taste."
The guard has brought a jar of wine and two bowls.
Li Tai poured a bowl of wine and said, "With the beautiful scenery by the river, how can we not have wine?"
