He was used to Cheng Chumo's rough demeanor in the past and couldn't stand the tenderness of the tough man. This was too embarrassing. Li Tai covered his face and ran all the way...
After running to the village, he stood up again and said, "No! You can't let me alone feel this pain. I will also let my brother-in-law know."
As he spoke, his cold breath turned into white mist in the air.
"You go and get pen and ink for me. I want to write a letter to my brother-in-law. I must let him know."
"Here!"
Cheng Chumo used to be a tough guy, but he was actually quite good.
Thinking of his loving eyes, Li Tai felt his scalp numb and even felt like nauseating.
What kind of world is this!
After writing a letter, Li Tai asked someone to send it to Chang'an City quickly. There were still a lot of things to do in the village, "I never want to pass that wine shop again, so take a detour!"
When Zhang Yang saw this letter, he also received news from Aunt Wang.
Because Cheng Chumo had not returned home for ten days, General Cheng spent the whole day carrying two axes at the entrance of the Foreign Affairs University.
Those who didn't know better thought he was a guard of the Diplomatic Academy.
Him standing at the door like this not only affects the appearance of the Foreign Affairs Council, but also affects the normal operation of the Foreign Affairs Council. After all, the end of the year and the beginning of the year are their busiest times.
There are many envoys coming to Chang'an City at this time of year.
Zhang Yang read the letter in his hand and said, "What does your son's absence from home for ten and a half days have to do with me? Cheng Yaojin is so unreasonable."
Hearing this, my daughter even opened her mouth and smiled.
I don't know why she is laughing.
"Auntie, please go and tell the general and tell him that I will be waiting for him in Qujiangchi early tomorrow morning."
"Here."
The main reason is that I am afraid that this old man will smash the Diplomatic Academy.
"Old bastard! Old bastard!" Zhang Yang kept cursing while kneading the dough.
"You cause trouble all day long, and you can't control your son and you come to make things difficult for me?"
"Chang Sunji is an old fox and he comes to arrange things for me."
"Tian Khan still wants to laugh at me!"
"The people in Chang'an City are all bastards!"
…
The master lost his temper again. Xiao Wu and Xu Hui shook their heads in unison. Every time, he would blame the master and keep talking to himself for a long time.
The family has become accustomed to it, and even the little bear doesn't want to raise his head to look at it.
In the evening we had noodles at home.
Li Yue praised: "The noodles my husband made today are very chewy."
Zhang Yang stirred the noodles together with kuaizi and finished them in two bites. "I'm going to meet with General Cheng tomorrow morning."
"Didn't your husband say that everything will go wrong if you meet General Cheng?"
"Then we have to meet him, otherwise he will demolish the Diplomatic Academy. That guy is probably capable of such a thing."
Li Yue looked surprised.
The morning of the next day was another snowy day. The snow from the previous days had not melted away yet, and frozen soil had accumulated in various places in Guanzhong.
Fortunately, the snow was not heavy and there was no road closure due to heavy snow.
The people of the Central Plains are hard-working. As soon as the genius dawned, many people in Chang'an City went out to clear the snow in front of their doors and continued to work hard for a day's livelihood.
Tian Khan asked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to work overtime, but he did not mention going to court. He has been free recently, and there is still something to do when he goes to the minister's office.
Zhang Yang came to Qujiang Pond early in the morning to clean up the snow.
The daughter-in-law has to take care of the children at home, and Xu Hui and Xiao Wu can't help much. They might as well do homework and study mathematics at home.
I have to clean up the huge Qujiang Pool all by myself.
It's also strange that Chumo was busy pursuing the girl from the restaurant all day long.
Otherwise, you can still ask him to help.
It had been snowing for days and the snow in Qujiang Lake was very thick. Zhang Yangjin climbed up to the roof of an old house.
The houses in Qujiangchi are very old, and I don’t know when they were last repaired.
Such thick snow would definitely collapse the house.
Zhang Yang climbed to the eaves and pushed all the snow down with a shovel.
After working like this all morning, Zhang Yang pushed a cart full of snow into Qujiang Pond.
There is also ice in Qujiang Pond. If you throw a stone into the ice, a small hole will be made. It seems that the ice is not very thick.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Yang climbed up to each room and started clearing away the snow.
Except for three or two houses with pavilions, his houses are not high. Zhang Yang can jump from one house to the roof of another, or use a long stick to push away the snow.
Cheng Yaojin has been here for a while, and just watched Zhang Yang patiently clearing the snow here, but he didn't bother him. He didn't expect that this child was so patient in his work, and he cleaned up all the houses by the pool.
.
"Hey!" Cheng Yaojin shouted, "You want to clean the entire Qujiang Pool by yourself?"
Zhang Yang looked back after hearing this, "Is the general coming?"
Cheng Yaojin walked over through the snow, "I see you have been busy for a long time."
"These houses are very old. If more snow accumulates, the roofs will collapse." Zhang Yang shoveled the snow in front of the house, "General, please dump this load of snow into Qujiang Pond."
This kid actually dares to come and order me around?
I thought that if I don’t care about my juniors, it would be quite hard for him.
Cheng Yaojin held the handle of the cart, and when he pushed hard, it suddenly felt heavy. He gritted his teeth and pushed forward hard, especially when the wheels touched the snow, which was even more difficult.
After finally pouring the snow in the cart onto the ice of Qujiang Pond, he breathed a sigh of relief as he had been through the battlefield for a long time, and his palms were already red from the force he exerted.
Not to mention that Zhang Yang has been back and forth several times. Where does this kid get the strength?
"Please pick up some of the snow over there and dump it into Qujiang Pond." Zhang Yang pointed to the small snowdrifts built up in front of the house. These are all snow pushed down from the roof, and they are all piled up on the house.
forward.
Cheng Yaojin raised his head and said, "I'm not here to do anything for you."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and stood up straight, waiting for a reply.
Three breaths passed... and ten breaths passed, and the boy didn't even reply. He looked back and saw that the boy had already walked to the other side of Qujiang Pond.
Cheng Yaojin, who had a bad temper to begin with, was about to jump up and yell at him, but seeing how hard the child was working, he felt embarrassed to scold him.
Rolling up his sleeves, he shoveled the snow into the wooden cart and dumped all the snow into Qujiang Pond as Zhang Yang said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fine snow falls annoyingly again.
Seeing Zhang Yang clearing the snow on the south side before sitting down, Cheng Yaojin rubbed his sore wrist and said, "Boy, aren't you tired?"
Zhang Yang handed him the water bag, "I'm quite tired."
Cheng Yaojin was not an elegant person who appreciated the snow scenery. To him, the snow scenery was not bad, but it was just a little colder.
Influenced by Zhang Yang's perseverance, he actually took the initiative to remove the snow.
Now looking from the water pavilion, the ground is still wet in the south, and there is a patch of snow in the north, with the water of Qujiang Pool as the boundary. Both sides are different, and it looks quite unique.
After taking a few sips of warm water, Cheng Yaojin wiped some sweat from his forehead and was secretly surprised that this boy didn't blush or breath.
He took off his coat to make his body more comfortable. It was freezing cold, and Cheng Yaojin could even see some white smoke coming out of his body at this moment.
"What is Chumo doing?"
Hearing General Cheng finally speak, Zhang Yang explained casually, "He has taken a fancy to a girl."
"Whose girl?" As soon as he finished speaking, the boy frowned and looked at her, as if asking, "Don't you know?"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his beard on his chin, he really didn't know what was going on, "Which family is this girl from?"
Zhang Yang took back the water bag and said, "She is an ordinary girl. She used to open a wine shop in Chang'an City and barely made a living. Later, due to some misunderstandings, she got into a fight with Gao Feng due to Chu Mo's entanglement."
"The general will know what happened next."
"I just knew that this boy was fighting with others, but I didn't know that it was because he fell in love with a girl. Why did he never mention it?"
Sitting on the embankment of Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang stepped on the bank with one foot and swayed with the other, "General, Chu Mo is about the same age as me."
"Of course I know that you and Chumo are similar in age."
"Since the general knows it, it should be understood that Chu Mo is already twenty years old. At his age, he will naturally have his own opinions. I also know that the general has always carefully protected him, even if he is beaten or scolded in ordinary times.
It's also for his own good, but after all, he is not the bastard boy he used to be."
Cheng Yaojin fell silent.
The old general who has always been vigorous and resolute actually has such a sentimental look.
Zhang Yang took a breath, eh! I have learned a lot.
Slowly, Cheng Yaojin's expression changed from sentimental to serious, and gradually became a little more angry, "This boy is still ignorant, how can he seduce a good girl?"
Zhang Yang looked at Qujiang Pond. It would be a busy day to clear so much snow. It would take another three or two days. He didn't know if there would be sunshine tomorrow. If the snow could melt, it would save trouble.
Some.
Another gust of cold wind blew by.
Zhang Yang tightened his clothes and said, "General, please put on your coat quickly. Don't catch the cold due to the temporary coolness."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin put on his coat again, "It's not a good thing to be silent like this."
Zhang Yang was surprised and said: "The general said that it is not good for Chu Mo to seduce a girl from a good family, so isn't Kong Yingda's granddaughter not a girl from a good family?"
Cheng Yaojin still shook his head, "This is not good."
"Chu Mo is already a man of his own opinions. Parents cannot blindly deprive their children of their opinions. Chu Mo is already twenty years old. He should have his own plans." Zhang Yang thought for a moment and then said: "Of course.
Things have priorities, and inheriting the mantle of the general is the first priority. As his close friend, I will tie him here even if he doesn't want to inherit."
"Then bring it to the general. You can whip it however you want, whether it's hanging up or tied up. You will definitely beat the drum to cheer the general."
Cheng Yaojin glared with disdain, "You just want to help Chu Mo and ruin the good things of my Cheng family."
"General! Which girl from a good family Chu Mo likes is his own business. Even if this choice is wrong, it still depends on how he makes his own decision. In line with the principle of making peace and not divorce, as a Chu Mo
My good brother Mo, I support Chu Mo’s decision."
"Please also give your child some space. Firstly, you can develop his abilities. Secondly, you also hope that your child can be independent in the future."
Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Cheng Yaojin, a tough man, lowered his head and said, "I never know how to teach children. After his mother passed away, he had another one."
Zhang Yang patted his shoulder and said, "General, I will take care of Chu Mo. You can rest assured."
"You have to watch over Chu Mo and take care of him. I will continue to argue with that old master about your marriage to the Kong family."
The old man strode away again, not forgetting to take away the two big axes that were lying nearby.
He also carries a weapon when talking to others, obviously he has no good intentions.
If he says the wrong thing, will this old man come with an ax to chop him down?
Zhang Yang thought in his mind and nodded solemnly.
Sure enough, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and there are still many bad people in Chang'an City.
What Cheng Yaojin said just now also shows that whether it is Chu Mo's future or his marriage to Kong Yingda's granddaughter, he wants it.
As expected, he is still an old bastard, and it is difficult to reason with the bastard.
Seeing that the snow was getting heavier again, Zhang Yang hastily cleaned up before going home.
After a detailed discussion with the Ministry of Education, Li Chengqian had new ideas about starting an official school.
He discussed with Fang Xuanling and Changsun Ji, two important ministers in the court, and determined the direction.
Even the Prime Minister and Duke Zhao thought it was a good strategy. As Zhang Yang said, instead of racking their brains and expending manpower and material resources to win over Tongguan and Luoyang, it is better to start from the surrounding villages and counties, especially some remote places.
In this way, the father and the emperor can solve the uneasiness of the people in remote states and counties, and can also arrange official schools.
The prince felt that a great prospect was just around the corner, and presented it to his father.
"Father, this is Zhang Yang's suggestion. He calls this support teaching. What do you think, Father?"
Li Shimin said solemnly: "The method is novel. Since Xuan Ling and Auxiliary Machine both think it is suitable, we will first arrange a trial in several counties for half a year to see the effects."
"My son, go get ready now."
In the past two days, Lishan's people have been printing books almost non-stop in three shifts, which will consume all the paper accumulated in the past two years.
The printed books are a thousand-character text for children to learn, explaining the text and explaining the characters. The more profound ones include 20 Analects of Confucius and 11 Hanshu.
The printing tools can be in the hands of Lishan, but the power of printing what kind of books must be in the hands of the emperor.
With the lessons learned from the aristocratic family, Li Shimin understood the power of books.
If you want to cultivate more clean writers without powerful backgrounds for the country, you need to hold books in your own hands.
He didn't want to see Lishan print a large number of rebellion slogans.
Lishan was busy non-stop. He had to go to the Shangshu Province to serve, otherwise he would be bullied by the old guys in the court again.
Zhang Yang walked into Shangshu Province, and Li Lizhi handed over a volume of book, "This is the official school regulations arranged by the emperor's brother. It is said that my brother-in-law must read it and arrange the money for it."
I just glanced at the articles of incorporation, and it was very distressing. There were no specific items and there was no fee arrangement. For such a general leader, the minister was required to save three thousand guan?
"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin." Zhang Yang put away the document and said, "Return this document to the prince, saying that it is not detailed enough and needs to be redone."
Li Zhi solemnly took the document and nodded, "Here."
