Zhang Yang looked at her suspiciously, and his tone was obviously sarcastic.
Not to mention that it has been extremely cold this year, but the snow has started to fall again, covering the glazed roof of the greenhouse. The glazed roof of the greenhouse is very fragile and will be easily crushed if there is too much snow. Auntie has to push it away from time to time.
Snow on the top of the glass.
Li Yue was wearing loose clothes at home, but she could not tell that she was pregnant. She arranged the clothes at home and whispered: "My father has sent a lot of fine salt."
"Well, I haven't finished last year's yet."
The water in Huaqing Pool is still not frozen.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yue was about to continue talking when she saw her husband jumping into the Huaqing Pool again.
Only Zhang Yang would swim in the water during this season. It would be too late for the children to hide when they hit the cold water, let alone swim in the winter.
Even if Li Zhi wanted to swim in the winter, Li Yue banned it.
Winter swimming in this kind of weather is no joke, unless you have a good physical foundation.
After a long while, Zhang Yang came out of the pool. His body was covered in white smoke because he swam in the water in the snow and wind.
After changing his clothes again, Zhang Yang lay down again and planned to use the stove to dry his hair.
The next morning, Lishan was very quiet in the twelfth lunar month, and even the children were no longer making trouble. Today was the day they were going back to the palace.
In the early morning, when the heavy snow stopped, the children stood neatly aside, with Li Lizhi standing at the front.
"one two three four……"
After listening to the children counting loudly to make sure that no one was missing, Zhang Yang took the lead and led them down Lishan Mountain.
There are already royal chariots at the foot of the mountain ready to take the princes and princesses back to the palace.
Li Tai was talking to Wang Gonggong at the foot of the mountain. Handrails have been installed on both sides of the Lishan stone steps going up and down the mountain.
Seeing the princes and princesses walking into the carriage wearing beautiful new clothes, the old face of the prince also had a smile, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has grown taller again, and Princess Dongyang and Princess Qinghe have gained a lot of weight."
The prince smiled and whispered.
The children were very obedient. Although they said they were reluctant to go back to Chang'an City, they did not make a fuss at this moment, but sat quietly in the carriage.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Don't worry, Eunuch Wang, these little heartless people, when they see their father in the palace, they all gather around and call them father, talking about the skills they learned in Lishan Mountain."
"What the county marquis said is true, so I will go back first."
Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "We are one year older, and Wang Eunuch is another year older. We will always have a place in Lishan waiting for Wang Eunuch to come and take care of him in his old age."
"The county magistrate is joking, joking..." The prince also smiled and got on the carriage, and the troika slowly left.
After the carriage had driven some distance away, Li Tai finally said, "Pei Xuanji has been waiting outside the village for two days. He is willing to help us."
Zhang Yang raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky. The sky that had just snowed started to fall with freezing rain again. The rain was not heavy but it was still annoying.
Listening to Li Tai's story, since the last papermaking transaction, Li Zhengzao has been in trouble because of sugar. Now he is isolated by the nobles. It is difficult to prove his innocence, let alone take out the money.
Before he could prove his innocence, he could not find the money to pay off the remaining money for the papermaking industry.
As for the monk Huikang, there has been no news from him since he left Tongguan. Since the death of Bopo, the famous monk in Tianzhu, Buddhism has kept a low profile.
And this monk Huikang is said to have been living in Fanyang. As for the subsequent money... Lishan can only wait for news.
In contrast, Pei Xuanji, who was originally supposed to marry a girl with the fifth surname, is now unable to care about Li Zhengzao because he is involved in the sugar scandal.
There are no eternal enemies in the right way, only interests.
These days, Pei Xuanji often hangs around Lishan and promised to help Lishan with work.
Following Li Tai to the entrance of the village, Pei Xuanji sat in the hut drinking wine and said, "Thank you, His Highness King Wei, for the wine."
He shouted loudly when he saw people.
As he spoke, he saw the man in simple clothes standing behind Li Tai. He took a second look and asked suspiciously: "Who is this?"
Zhang Yang stood outside the hut with his hands folded, "Don't you always want to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Xingjian immediately put down his wine bowl and saluted respectfully, "I have seen the county marquis."
First, he sat down, and Li Tai sat aside, peeling tea eggs and eating them quietly.
Pei Xuanji is now more depressed than before. Without the support of the Zhaojun Li family, his situation is much worse than before.
Zhang Yang refused the wine bowl he was about to pass to him, "You used to work for Li Zhengzao, why are you working for Lishan now?"
Pei Xuanji hurriedly saluted and said: "I have long admired the literary talent of the County Marquis. The book "The Red Mansion" describes the warmth and coldness of the world and the ugliness of people's hearts. Only a person like the County Marquis can write about this world. I would like to worship the County Marquis.
"
The words were so exciting that the man knelt down on the spot.
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and sighed: "I prefer people who come to serve me sincerely."
It is said that the Marquis of Lishan County has three faces and two hearts, and is an extraordinary monster. A person who can write a monster book like Liaozhai is nothing but a monster.
However, at a glance, this Zhang Yang seemed to be a very ordinary person, so ordinary that he would not be found in the crowd. He was also very young, less than thirty years old.
This person was just sitting like this. When he looked more closely, he felt that he was very clean. Although his old clothes had been washed and faded, his hair was only tied with a cloth band.
Well, he is a very clean person, so clean that there is no black mud on his nails.
There are definitely no lice on such a person.
Upon hearing that Zhang Yang wanted to surrender sincerely, Pei Xuanji saluted and said, "It was Li Zhengzao who was unreliable. He agreed to betroth a woman with the fifth surname to me, but when I went to ask him, he didn't mention anything about it.
"
While he was talking, he downed a bowl of wine and said: "You actually doubted whether I framed him with sugar, and instead of thinking about my painstaking lobbying, I actually poured dirty water on a certain family. It's unbearable!
I don’t plan to surrender to him anymore.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The rain fell on the hut, and the rain became much stronger. The rustling sound of the rain was very pleasant.
Li Tai was still eating tea eggs quietly, without saying a word.
Zhang Yang said again: "You still haven't told the truth. Since you can't be honest with me, I'll leave now."
After saying that, he was about to stand up and leave. Pei Xuanji quickly said: "Wait a minute!"
He said in a panic: "To be honest with the county magistrate, I actually see that Li Zhengzao can't protect himself and has no one to turn to. If something like this happens, the other families of the five surnames will probably not take him in. I just ask Li Shan to give him the next step."
A way out to comfort the spirits of my ancestors of the Pei family in Hedong."
After saying this, Pei Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yang sitting down again. It was indeed not easy to talk to Lishan.
After pouring him some wine, Zhang Yang added: "You are probably not willing to do what we want to do. You and Li Zhengzao were cooperative friends before. What Lishan wants you to do now... requires you to be enemies of the family, or even
Being an enemy of Buddhism is not suitable for you."
Pei Xuanji had already sobered up and said, "I am willing to serve the county marquis, even if I am an enemy of the famous Buddhist family."
This man is really interesting. He can tell lies and truth with great confidence. Whether he is telling the truth or lies, he speaks with "conscientiousness".
Zhang Yang looked at the rain outside the hut, "Since you want to work under me, you first need to improve your values and character. To be honest, I don't believe you, and I even suspect that you are a spy sent by Li Zhengzao.
.”
"No! I'm not a spy!" Pei Xuanji raised his hand above his head, "I'll part ways with that Li Zhengzao as soon as possible!"
"Hehehe..." Li Tai laughed suddenly.
Pei Xuanji patted the table and stood up, "Your Highness, King Wei, could it be that you don't trust me?"
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and sighed, "Well, our Lishan has published a book before, and that book is called the Madman's Diary. Read more about the Madman's Diary, and then write an opinion piece based on the current situation of the gentry and the imperial examination."
The following article is sent to His Highness the King of Wei."
"Why?" This made Pei Xuanji even more confused.
Zhang Yang walked to the hut and reached out to catch some rainwater. "Everyone who works for us needs to have a common spirit, a common philosophy and direction. Although I love money, my interests can change, so
Interests are also not trustworthy. I prefer to believe in cooperation with those who share the same lofty ideals and spiritual persistence with me. As for whether you want to cooperate with Lishan, it depends on your articles and consciousness."
Turning to look at him, Zhang Yang whispered: "Brother Pei, do you know what Lishan is going to do now?"
Pei Xuanji hurriedly saluted, "I'm going to read the madman's diary right now. I'll finish writing the article and submit it to Li Shan."
Zhang Yang nodded in understanding.
After saying that, Pei Xuanji ran into the rain and ran all the way towards Chang'an City. His footsteps were so fast that the splash of muddy water wet the hem of his clothes behind him.
Li Tai finished eating the tea eggs and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Can you trust this brother-in-law?"
Zhang Yang folded his hands and said, "How do I know?"
"My brother-in-law asked him to read Diary of a Madman and write articles. He must not believe it."
Zhang Yang was still smiling, "Pei Xuanji is a famous official, so naturally he is also a scholar. After he writes the article about the review of Diary of a Madman, I will regard it as a crusade against the aristocratic family, regardless of whether he is
He is worthy of trust, and he will never be able to stand on the other side of the aristocratic family again."
Li Tai took a deep breath and exhaled it in the cold air, turning into a white mist. "Only in this way can we use this person to make people feel at ease, and we will not allow him to be influenced by interests."
To deal with the aristocratic family, someone needs to take the lead. Of course, if Pei Xuanji wants to work for Lishan, he has to stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic family. Even if he raises a petition to attack the aristocratic family, he has to stand in front of them.
If he doesn't want to write, it doesn't have to be him.
Now Lishan uses him, not Lishan needs him.
Li Tai followed and walked in the rain, "Brother-in-law, why don't we kill that monk Xuanzang?"
Zhang Yang stopped for a moment and said, "Okay."
Li Tai asked again: "Should we intercept him halfway?"
"It is difficult to kill a person with high moral standards. He may even feel that his death is glorious." Zhang Yang frowned.
"What a vicious monk."
Li Tai looked confused, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to kill Xuanzang like this. Seeing that the monk had already arrived in the Western Regions, he didn't know when he would be able to come to Chang'an City.
"Brother-in-law, I still think he should be killed."
Zhang Yang said worriedly: "Your Highness, King Wei, how is the progress of the steam engine? Why do you always want to kill Xuanzang?"
"There are still many problems to be solved inside the gas bladder. We found that even the steam coming out of the copper tube is difficult to generate enough thrust. We have asked the people in the blacksmith workshop to recast it. First, they built a large water tank, and then the pressure cooker
Put it in the water tank.”
This is Li Tai's next research plan, and the direction is right. Naturally, a small pressure cooker cannot satisfy productivity.
If you want to use steam for production, you need to generate more thrust, so you need to build a larger pressure cooker, and you need a water tank with enough water to generate steam.
When talking to Li Tai about the next direction of the steam engine, the fat man was still as easy to understand as before, and now his understanding is getting better and better.
As for the air valve that generates thrust, we have not yet made it. Let’s start with the accumulation of steam thrust.
Li Tai and Zhang Yang met the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan together. The Supreme Emperor had aged rapidly in the past two years, and his beard and hair had turned gray. Li Tai helped his grandfather clean up the house.
Zhang Yang observed the teacher's complexion. The teacher's condition could only be maintained by nursing. Recently, the teacher often suffered from insomnia.
"It's probably because of the lack of walking around. If I walk around a lot, I can't do it in a wheelchair." Zhang Yang said in a low voice.
Zhang Gongjin smiled and nodded, taking out a letter from his arms, "This letter is from Zhongnanshan."
"Zhongnan Mountain?"
Zhang Yang took the letter suspiciously and opened the sealing wax on it.
Zhang Gongjin whispered: "This is Wang Gui's letter. I haven't opened it since it was sent to me. I am too old to read this kind of news. It will be uncomfortable to read too much."
Old friends from the past passed away one after another. Wen Yanbo has become like this, and it is not surprising when he dies.
Li Gang has passed away.
I heard that Gao Shilian was also seriously ill and now it was difficult to stay.
Yu Shinan finally resigned and returned home.
Mr. Ouyang Xun is still physically strong, but he is also senile.
Wang Gui went to Zhongnan Mountain and his life and death were unknown. An old man in his seventies still wanted to climb Zhongnan Mountain.
"So many years have passed without realizing it, and I am afraid that these elderly people will pass away one after another."
Zhang Gongjin narrated in a low voice.
At the teacher's age, he didn't want to see this news, nor did he want to see his old friends pass away one by one, not to mention that the teacher was seriously ill.
Zhang Yang held the scroll and looked at it silently, and said in a low voice: "Old Mr. Wang Gui said that his biological mother was buried in Zhongnan Mountain, and she did not want to be born again in the mountain. He was grateful that Fang and Du invited him to come out of the mountain. Now,
The imperial examination has become a trend in the Tang Dynasty, and there are people in the Central Plains who are resisting the aristocratic family, and he is willing to die of old age in Zhongnan Mountain and become a savage in the mountains from now on."
After hearing this, Zhang Gongjin slowly picked up the letter and read it silently.
After all, an era has passed. When the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and conquered the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. How many heroes and heroes emerged in the chaotic era.
But now that the world has been peaceful, it is no longer the same as before.
This is the tenth year of Zhenguan, and now the person with the greatest authority in the world is Tian Khan.
