Any development is inseparable from the masses, and development without the masses will not last long. Even if you are rich, one day the tall buildings will collapse.
The New Year's Eve banquet in the village went very smoothly. Li Yue wanted to benefit Lishan. Now she has the confidence, and the rich woman with a millionaire family also has this strength.
In the afternoon when a banquet was held in the village, Zhang Yang came to Shangguan Yi's residence. The key people in Lishan were all in front of him: Shangguan Yi, Warrior Xun, Niu Chuang, Ouyang Xun, Li Yuan, and Sun Shenyi.
Everyone sat down, Zhang Yang drank the tea from his big tea cup and let out a sigh of relief.
Li Yuan looked at Zhang Yang sitting in the upper seat with displeasure, "You, a junior, shouldn't be sitting here."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "It is rare for us in Lishan to have a meeting, seniority is not important."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "If we don't talk about seniority, how can we talk about rules?"
His daughter's great-grandfather had a stubborn temper, so Zhang Yang had no choice but to let it go and changed places with him.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything anymore, he said, "Tell me, how is the life of the villagers recently?"
Warrior Xun replied: "Each family has its own issues, and none of them are difficult. It can be dealt with."
The village has a small population, so that's all.
It's good that my county can manage such a piece of land so I don't have to worry too much.
It is free for villagers to go to the doctor.
If you think about it carefully, the pursuit of welfare seems like your own meddling.
Shangguan Yi looked at the file in his hand and said, "There is one thing."
Finally, something could be done. It was time for Zhang Yang to regain his energy and play his role as a county magistrate.
"Brother Shangguan, please speak."
First looking at Zhang Yang, Shangguan Yi said in a low voice: "Right now, there are six families in the village whose men are old enough to marry women, and they are all over twenty years old when they should marry their wives."
Everyone nodded and looked embarrassed.
He added: "We are rich in Lishan, but our Lishan rules..."
After a pause, Shangguan Yi took a sip of tea.
Everyone also picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea. Everyone's movements were neat and slow.
This somewhat silly meeting is now going on and seems awkward.
With the people and things like this in Lishan, what can the county prince worry about?
Just count the money in Lishan Mountain.
The situation is good now, as the county prince seems to be working hard to make himself stronger.
It was originally the fiefdom of the princess and the food and fiefdom of the county prince, so it was difficult for everyone to say anything.
The warrior Xun also came to Lishan to retire. He was also a prince and had no worries about food and clothing, so he just came here to relax.
Ouyang Xun needed an environment to practice calligraphy and teach his children. Life in his later years was very pleasant and the place was lively.
Niu Chuang is in charge of Lishan's technology, only Shangguanyi is busier. Now Lishan is on the right track, and his life is much more leisurely.
Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "Is this rule bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. I like this rule very much." Sun Simiao spoke first, "Whether you are a man or a woman, the best age to have children is after the age of twenty."
Shangguan Yi sighed, "It is precisely because of the age of twenty that ordinary women get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and they marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen years earlier. We in Lishan want to marry a twenty-year-old woman, and there are a lot of discussions in the surrounding villages.
, Not to mention that twenty-year-old women are leftovers from other families, it is also difficult to find twenty-year-old unmarried women in the surrounding villages and counties."
Lishan is a maverick, and it is inevitable that he will not adapt to the local environment, but the girl does not have to worry about getting married. She will have no problem getting married at the age of twenty.
It's just that it's difficult for a man to marry a twenty-year-old wife.
Zhang Yang held his forehead in distress, "What are these things?"
Shangguan Yi sighed, "This matter is not easy to handle."
Zhang Yang glanced at everyone present and glanced at Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, are there any unmarried women in the clan who are twenty years old?"
Li Yuan snorted coldly, "You go ask Erlang, don't ask me."
After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Yang said: "Why don't we have a blind date meeting?"
Everyone didn't understand what the blind date conference meant. Some were silent and some were yawning. Li Xiaogong came late, holding a large cage of meat buns in his hand, "Everyone, take one of the freshly baked meat buns."
"I happen to be hungry!" Warrior Xun was not polite and immediately picked up one and ate it.
Li Yuan handed one to Ouyang Xun.
Looking at the scene in front of him numbly, the good atmosphere was ruined by the King of Hejian County again.
"Boy Zhang, why don't you eat?" Li Xiaogong chewed the buns, his cheeks bulging.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Zhang Yang closed his eyes and planned to wait until everyone finished eating the buns before talking.
After eating a meat bun, Li Yuan took a sip of tea to wash away the greasy food in his mouth, "I suddenly want to play cards. It's rare for us to sit together together."
Li Xiaogong clapped and said, "It's good to play cards."
Ouyang Xun added: "Why don't we play together? I'm just thinking of giving it a try."
I don’t know where Li Xiaogong took out a deck of cards, OK! This will be impossible to play.
Zhang Yang walked out of the room with his hands in his arms in despair, sighing helplessly. He finally had some ambition, but now he is like this again.
This county is very difficult to do.
Not long after, Li Xiaogong also came out, "What? Is there something on your mind?"
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "No."
"When you kid is worried, I can tell at a glance."
"Prince Hejian, isn't he going to play cards?"
"I am a warrior, there is no point in playing cards with these literati." As he spoke, he also sat down, "I heard that Duke Zhao is going to move the Ministry of Rites?"
"This matter really cannot be hidden from your ears."
Zhang Yang was sitting in front of the house, listening to the commotion of playing cards in the house, and wondered: "How come Prince Hejian is carrying cards on his body?"
"What's wrong?"
“Can I play it anytime, anywhere?”
"That's natural."
Seeing as he spoke so cheerfully, that's probably what happened.
Li Xiaogong came closer and whispered: "This old fox, Changsun Wuji, wants to touch our Ministry of Rites. He is so brave. I'm not dead yet!"
Zhang Yang lowered his head and said feebly: "You are no longer the Minister of Rites."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have been the Minister of Rites for one day, and I will be the Minister of Rites forever. Please tell me, what did you do to make that old fox fight?
The idea of the Ministry of Rites."
The winter wind was a bit cold, Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves, "Nothing happened, I just sent Pei Xingjian to the Anxi Protectorate to be the Protector."
"That's it." Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "With the power of Protector, his eldest son Wuji covets my Ministry of Rites."
"Zhao Guogong is indeed unreasonable." Zhang Yang shared the same hatred.
"This matter is easy to talk about. I sent a letter to the clan generals and asked them to show some kindness. Maybe the matter can be resolved."
While speaking, Li Xiaogong asked again: "Is there anything else?"
Zhang Yang smiled and waved his hands and said: "There are no other big things. After I made Pei Xingjian the Protector, I sent him to help Persia."
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he hesitated to speak. He wanted to argue, but he had no choice but to remain silent, thinking about how far away Persia was...
Not long after, Li Tai also hurriedly said, "I heard that my brother-in-law was going to have a meeting, so I came."
Zhang Yang's mouth twitched and he said, "Why did you come?"
"I took a nap in the afternoon and came late." As he spoke, Li Tai glanced at the lively scene in the room and said, "I'm the only one here!"
Among these elderly people, Li Tai, the younger generation, is the richest, and he is willing to count this kid's share.
Zhang Yang sighed again, "Prince of Hejian County, am I a failure in the county?"
"You are indeed a failure."
Li Xiaogong commented, "Why did you ask Pei Xingjian to come to the rescue? Are Persian women good-looking?"
"This has nothing to do with women."
Regardless of whether he had anything to do with the Persian woman or not, Li Xiaogong felt that this matter was out of his control. Zhang Yang, the Minister of Rites, was doing more and more things.
"It's just a matter of rushing to the aid of Persia. How can his eldest grandson Wuji care about it?"
Li Xiaogong whispered: "Don't worry too much. It has always been the responsibility of generals to lead troops in battles. Even if his eldest son, Sun Wuji, said this, the good consequences of this matter will not fall on him."
That being said, what Li Xiaogong said is also correct.
The two of them sat in the bleak cold wind and sighed together. The cold wind blew their clothes and made their originally untidy bun look even more messy.
Hearing the emperor's angry scolding and Ouyang Xun's laughter, he knew that the game was getting more intense.
The account books of the Hexi Corridor passed through the Zhongshu Province and finally reached His Majesty's hands.
The emperor, who had a little extra money in his hands, and Zhang Yang, who was such a douchebag, made the Tian Khan feel more at ease with his money.
This year’s court meeting can also be held in a big way.
As Zhang Yang said, when the excavation work of Taiye Pool was divided into several phases, the pressure on the DPRK and Central Government suddenly eased.
Li Shimin finally felt that he was not short of money.
There is no shortage of money, but Li Shimin still feels indescribably uncomfortable when he sees Zhang Yang making money.
Looking at the accounts in Hexi Corridor, he whispered: "Has the money been delivered?"
Li Junxian bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the accounts have been sent ahead of time. It will take another three or two days for the money to be transported to Chang'an City."
On the third and second day, that is to say, the money was delivered to Chang'an City just after New Year's Eve.
Everyone in the court was preparing for this year's New Year's Eve. Under the arrangements of Queen Changsun, the palace officials also began to get busy.
The original 8,000 guan tax will be distributed to Lishan 70%, so how much is left in my hands?
I feel depressed in my heart, but it's hard to show it on my face.
"What is Lishan doing these days?"
Hearing His Majesty's question again, Li Junxian bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Lishan is holding a big banquet for New Year's Eve recently. It is said that the banquet will be held for three days, just to celebrate like in previous years."
The palace maid brought another meal, and Li Shimin lost his appetite when he saw the lotus vegetables floating on the vegetable soup. Instead, he followed the children back to the palace and brought some vegetables.
That's all for the children.
Has Zhang Yang really forgotten me?
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Let the money be sealed and we will make plans after New Year's Eve."
"Here."
On New Year's Eve, the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City, and the whole city was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
There are people from all over the world on Zhuque Street, and the street is very crowded. This is unprecedented prosperity since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of prosperity will continue to happen in the future, and it will become even more prosperous.
The population of Chang'an City has exceeded one million, which is a sign of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin hosted a banquet for the ministers. There was singing and dancing in the hall, and the ministers toasted to congratulate each other.
At this time, the New Year's Eve on Lishan Mountain was much calmer. Zhang Yang and Li Yuan were drinking wine, "The house is deserted. Don't be surprised, Your Majesty."
Xiao Qingqing was sitting on the back of a bear wearing a skirt, pulling its ears, hoping that the bear would take a few more steps.
"It's getting really lazy." She beat her angrily a few times, and the little bear lay on the ground again, unwilling to move any further.
Li Yuan drank the wine and said with a smile: "Whatever the excitement, I have also sat in Erlang's seat. The prosperity of Chang'an City is very beautiful, but I still like the tranquility here."
Zhang Yang poured another drink for the old man, "You are tired of this."
Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Erlang, he is the Khan of Heaven now, and he has such good ministers to assist him. His achievements are higher than mine. Why can't I be gratified? I hope he will not be stupid or slack in politics when he grows old."
.”
"Don't worry, if the man in the palace is stupid or lazy, I will definitely impeach him every day and scold him for you."
"Okay, okay..." Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.
Li Yue brought another bowl of millet and put it on the table, "Grandpa Huang, don't just drink water, eat some food."
There were no guests at home, and each family had its own wedding papers to deal with on New Year's Eve. Xiao Wu and Xu Hui also returned to their families, but Lishan Mountain became quiet.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Tai came and said, "Damn it! These blind guards dare to win my money. If it weren't for the sake of celebrating the New Year, I would goug out their eyes."
It should be said that this Li Tai did not come to drink with Li Yuan on New Year's Eve, but went to play cards with his guards.
It's enviable that this fat man lives so freely.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuan said disdainfully: "You made so much money in Lishan, so what if you lose some?"
Li Tai sat down and took a sip of wine, "Grandpa Huang, I lost a hundred coins!"
Hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned for a long time, just a little stunned. Now that he is older, he has long been unable to keep up with the development speed of Lishan. His concept of money is still the same as that of the poor court of the past. He was quiet for a long time and said slowly: "
One hundred strings is not much for you."
"I feel so bad!" Li Tai took another sip of wine, "These guards are usually very well-behaved! They have changed their behavior during the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect them to be so good at playing cards. They must have played a lot in private."
From the meeting in Lishan to now, Li Tai has been playing cards day and night, and is basically at the card table except for sleeping.
The Chinese New Year is all about celebrating, so Li Tai put down everything he was doing and played wildly for the past two days.
As he spoke, Li Tai clapped again, "Brother-in-law, do you know that Chu Mo composed a poem today?"
"hiss……"
Zhang Yang took a breath, "Did he really become a genius?"
Li Tailang laughed loudly and said: "That's not true. Chu Mo held it in for a long time and just recited the sentence "Fragrant grass by the river."
Li Yuan couldn't help but smile, "This kid Chu Mo is really..."
There are some things that don't need to be said to show through. Everyone knows that Chu Mo is not the material, but the girl at the restaurant also saw through it and didn't say anything about it, nor did she get angry or drive Chu Mo away.
Maybe his stubborn determination and sincerity had already impressed the restaurant girl.
I'm just worried about the rest of my life. Everyone hopes that lovers will eventually get married. The restaurant girl is very skilled. He used to be beaten by his father in silence, but now he has to be beaten severely by that woman again.
