Zhang Yang said longingly: "Pumpkins are delicious, wait until I grow them."
"Well, how do you eat pumpkin?"
"There are many ways to make pumpkin, I need to think about it carefully, and I still don't know what kind of pumpkin it is."
"Variety?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yang sat down next to his seedbed, "I don't know what kind of pumpkin I have at the moment. I'll have to plant it to find out."
Li Yue nodded and said: "My son will be able to eat pumpkin after he is born."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a daughter or a son, yes! Both are fine."
Looking at the pumpkin seedlings, Li Yue smiled gently.
She always has a lot of expectations for fresh food, and this has never changed since she was a child.
Li Yue returned home and told her aunt about the pumpkin.
Aunt Yang was sorting out the toys at home. She wanted to put away all the toys that the children had played with. "The county magistrate hopes that our Tang Dynasty will have more and more food, so that every household will have pumpkins to eat in the future."
Aunt Wang also smiled and said: "I have seen many young people. When they reach the age of county marquis, they are the most unrestrained and happiest age. Some people at this age are still looking for ways to have a career in the future."
"Yes." Aunt Yang smiled with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
There was a lot of vicissitudes in her eyes, "The county prince is still at this age, and he is already thinking about the people of the world."
Li Yue held her waist, frowning and looking at her pregnant belly, "When will the baby be born?"
Aunt Yang added: "Doctor Sun said that the child will not be strong until it is born at full term. There is no need to rush this matter."
Aunt Wang's expression was much more serious, "Your Highness, you must not be anxious about this matter. It is better for the child to be born late than early."
Li Yue was still willing to listen to the words of the two aunts, but she couldn't stand for long now, and the burden was getting bigger and bigger. She had to hold her waist just sitting like this.
Leaning her body on the recliner and placing her feet on a chair not far away, Li Yue felt comfortable and let out a sigh of relief.
Being pregnant with a child, life was full of inconveniences. Li Yue held the side of her face with one hand, her fair skin tinged with red, and stared at her daughter who was sitting at the door of her home, learning to write. Xiaohui taught her patiently.
Zhang Yang saw the progress in the seedbed and then returned to the house. He first picked up his wife's feet, sat on the stool that was originally placed under his feet, put her feet on his knees, and Zhang Yang held them with both hands.
She raised her ankle and frowned: "When my daughter was born last time, your grandpa sent the Seal of Wude to our house. What will he give this year?"
Judging by the date, this child was probably born in June and July.
It won't be until August at the latest. Li Yue whispered: "Grandpa Huang has lived in Lishan for a long time and has not been to Chang'an for a long time. The situation in Grandpa Huang's family is like this now. There is nothing valuable to give away. The child
You should be happy when you are born, why do you always think about this, husband?"
The pumpkins have indeed been planted, but they are only seedlings, and subsequent planting is a big problem.
Not to mention whether it can produce pumpkins, they have only sprouted now, so it is a problem to plant them.
Soil fertility is a very important issue, and pumpkins like warmth.
Li Yue asked curiously: "Husband, will every household grow that pumpkin in the future? How about the yield per acre?"
While squeezing her feet, as her pregnancy belly grew bigger, her heels were always red. Zhang Yang thought about it and replied, "Well, the yield per mother is very high, very high."
She became interested again, "In the future, if we let every household grow pumpkins, wouldn't there be more food?"
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Growing food and managing rice bowls cannot be generalized. Even if the yield of pumpkins per mu is very high, we cannot give up growing wheat and rice. If everyone grows pumpkins instead of other crops, something will happen if something goes wrong."
, that’s a big deal.”
"So we have to maintain the diversity of crops, so as to make our food situation healthier. This is like our Lishan. We can't just develop technology. With our current situation in Lishan, we can even not farm.
We live a very wealthy life, but even so, we still have to farm."
"The same goes for growing vegetables. No matter how high the yield of pumpkins is and how wealthy we are, we still need to grow other vegetables and fruits to maintain diversity so that agriculture can prosper faster. We Central Plains people all come from farming. If
Giving up farming and pursuing industry alone would be a disaster."
Seeing that his wife was still a little confused, Zhang Yang added: "That's why your father controls merchants and reduces the number of merchants. The Luoyang case is just a pretext. The real purpose is to restrict merchants. People who do business do not farm or produce."
, the more such people there are, it will be detrimental to the current society."
"You will get tired of eating just the same food. My husband is right. We should maintain variety. Staple food is the top priority. Wheat and rice are our staple food. No matter how good our life becomes, we can't give up.
Farm.”
It is not easy for Lishan to go from a poor mountain village to what it is now.
It has become a role model for surrounding villages and counties. Since it is a role model, it must behave as a role model and cannot give up farming. If Lishan does not have its own grain reserves, big trouble will happen.
Zhang Yang did think so at the beginning. Now that he has become the minister of Taifu Temple, Zhang Yang feels that Lishan should take the lead in crop diversity.
Let other villages and counties also plant other crops.
Shangguan Yi had a very good idea. He wanted to grow fruits from the Western Regions in Guanzhong, so that he could spread them to other parts of Guanzhong.
There is also some soy sauce beef at home, which Aunt Yang made herself.
Zhang Yang cut a piece and tasted it. The soy sauce beef made by his aunt was relatively salty, so it went well with rice.
Whenever aunt calls for dinner, the children will rush over immediately.
At the time when the body is growing, his younger brothers and sisters eat more. Just watching them eat, Zhang Yang feels that his appetite has improved.
After dinner, I spread out a map at home. This is Lishan's plan for the next few years. Each factory will still be expanded, but Lishan is the only one not in the plan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The entire palace is your home, covering the entire Lishan Mountain.
The couple made a fuss about this mountain.
The home is very quiet, and the children are sitting by the Huaqing Pool doing homework. Recently, Li Yue has been teaching the children in class. Because she is pregnant with the child, Li Yue is now more and more unable to do what she wants.
What she really wants now is for this child to be born as soon as possible.
Zhang Yang pointed to a piece of land in Lishan, next to his main house, "How about we build a bell tower here?"
Li Yue pointed to the surroundings of Lishan Mountain, "Didn't my husband want to build a bell tower around Lishan Mountain before? Furthermore, if this bell tower is next to the house, wouldn't it be wrong if I want to sleep more during the day?
I’ll be very annoyed by the noise.”
While speaking, she also felt a little sleepy.
Drowsiness is contagious. Zhang Yang yawned and blinked.
Li Yue added: "When I was sleepy in the past, my eyes were wet, but I don't feel that way now."
After looking at her eyes, they were still as beautiful and pleasing to the eye as ever. At the same time, Zhang Yang said: "Maybe it's dry eye syndrome, which is caused by overusing your eyes. Please read less recently."
"Yeah." Li Yue nodded.
The sleepiness could no longer support their eyelids, and the couple planned to lie down on the recliners and fall asleep.
Looking forward to the birth of his child and looking forward to his daughter growing up, at this stage of his life, Zhang Yang feels that he has more and more things to look forward to.
I look forward to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that the children of the Tang Dynasty will be stronger and the old people of the Tang Dynasty will have something to rely on in their old age.
This world is too difficult and too poor.
Having so much hope makes people appear greedy.
Zhang Yang felt that he would rather be greedy. If he were not greedy, his life in the Tang Dynasty would be in vain.
Zhang Yang woke up from his dream of his daughter dancing a sword in the Tai Chi Hall. At first glance, he saw that his daughter was actually stealing her mother's horizontal sword.
After seeing that his wife was still asleep, Zhang Yang stood up and walked into the house, snatched the horizontal knife from her hand and said, "You are not allowed to play with this."
Xiao Qingqing said stubbornly: "I am the same as Aunt Xiaowu and the others."
Zhang Yang placed the horizontal knife high enough that she could not reach it, picked up his daughter and frowned: "You are not old enough to handle such a sharp weapon yet."
Xiao Qingqing hugged his father's neck, "I just want to see it."
"If your mother finds out, she might punish you."
Hearing this, she looked at her sleeping mother guiltily and whispered: "Dad, don't tell mom."
"Well, as long as you obey, I won't say anything."
"good."
Both father and daughter had smiles on their faces.
The aunt saw it and didn't say anything. The little princess was only two years old now, and she was smarter than ordinary children. At this age, she could speak more and more.
Auntie doesn't believe that children are born smart.
This all depends on how it is taught and the child's body at birth.
Xiao Qingqing was very strong when she was born, and the princess took good care of her body before giving birth until she was twenty years old.
The best age for a woman to have children is after she reaches the age of twenty, whether it is for a woman who is about to become a mother or for a newborn child.
The county marquis cured the princess's congenital deficiency of blood and blood, and also made the children born strong, even though these rules in Lishan are now being criticized by surrounding villages and counties.
The two aunts thought that this kind of pointing and pointing was not worth mentioning in the face of health. They had watched Li Yue drink medicine since she was a child.
Nothing is more important than health. These pointers are just ignorant.
After they understand it, surrounding villages and counties will follow suit.
Li Yue didn't wake up until the evening. She felt the baby moving in her belly. She stood up holding her waist and her eyes narrowed because she felt so comfortable. "What time is it?"
Li Lizhi was wearing a light red dress, and her long hair was tied with a red ribbon.
When the mountain breeze blows, the clothes and spacious sleeves move with the wind, and the red ribbon also dances in the wind.
This Princess Changle did not get married in the ninth year of Zhenguan, and now she has an aura different from ordinary women.
Especially after practicing swordsmanship and knife skills, her eyes became a little sharper, and she gained an arrogance that made people dare not disobey.
Compared to the little girl before, she is now the same height as the imperial sister. She put the wooden sword in her hand aside to support the imperial sister, "It's time to eat."
Li Yue whispered: "Are Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui still practicing?"
"Yes." Li Lizhi nodded slightly, "It was said that they didn't practice well, so Aunt Wang kept the two of them."
Li Yue nodded slightly, "There is news from the palace, saying that they want you to go back to the palace."
Li Lizhi heard this and said doubtfully: "In the palace?"
Now Li Lizhi's voice is getting shorter and thinner. This is the change in her vocal cords as she grows up. She no longer follows the imperial sister and her brother-in-law like she did before.
After the haircut ceremony, she seemed to have grown up overnight.
Li Lizhi nodded and said: "Sister Huang, I'm going to see my father and mother, so my younger brothers and sisters don't have to go."
Li Yue lowered her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Your father said that many people in the clan are talking about your marriage. This must be because of the marriage. I asked Aunt Wang to accompany you. You will go and come back the same day."
Listening to the imperial sister's instructions, Li Lizhi nodded heavily, "Yes."
Not long after, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui also came back.
Dinner is the most lively time at home. Breakfast is light and lunch is light. Dinner in Lishan is always the most sumptuous.
After the meal, Li Lizhi and Dongyang told her that she would go to the palace early tomorrow morning, and that her younger brothers and sisters should also keep an eye on her.
But there was an aunt watching over Lishan, as well as Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui.
The next day, Li Lizhi, still wearing red clothes, went down the mountain with Aunt Wang.
After blowing the whistle, the Sanhe horse heard the sound and came. Li Lizhi got on the horse. She had not ridden many times, so she looked a little unfamiliar.
Aunt Wang warned: "This horse knows you. Don't be impatient and relax your legs."
"Yes." Li Lizhi took the horizontal knife handed over by Aunt Wang and nodded.
The Hengdao was her own request. What she was going to the palace to face was her own marriage. She couldn't ignore the clan's discussions all the time. Carrying the sword was her attitude.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Aunt Wang also got on her horse.
From the unfamiliarity at the beginning, Li Lizhi gradually relaxed her body while riding on the horse and quickly adapted to Sanhe Horse.
The aunt was dressed simply, but her eyes had a murderous look rarely seen in women.
A woman on horseback wearing red clothes quickly attracted the attention of passers-by on the official road.
The Sanhe horse ran very fast, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the horse was extraordinary. Moreover, there was a horizontal knife hanging on the saddle, which showed that the identity of the person riding the horse was not simple.
The horse stopped in front of the Chunming Gate in Chang'an City. There were already palace officials waiting here.
They were a little surprised to see the dashing Li Lizhi, and almost didn't recognize Princess Changle, but the expression between her brows and her nod was very similar to that of His Majesty today.
Li Lizhi held a horizontal knife in one hand and said to the palace attendants in front of her: "Enter the palace."
These palace people were momentarily overwhelmed by Princess Changle's aura and temperament. Then they came back to their senses in panic and quickly saluted: "May I ask who this is..."
Li Yue looked back at Aunt Wang, "This is Aunt Wang, enter the palace with me."
The palace servant handed over the costume, "Your Highness, please put it on..."
"No need."
Before they finished speaking, Li Lizhi walked towards the Zhuque Gate.
"Your Highness Princess!" A group of palace people surrounded and escorted her quickly.
