Chapter 673 Peace of mind, peace of mind

No matter how you look at it, the name Zhang Xin'an is a very common name. The couple is very casual about the names of their children. The names are very simple and the meaning is also very simple.

Li Shimin returned to the Li Zheng Hall, and now there was only one child, Xiao Sizi.

Queen Changsun was packing up in the palace. The palace maid took out a box and said, "Queen, there is a lot of brown sugar here."

The brown sugar was given by Lishan.

The queen said helplessly: "Take out those gold leaves."

When she heard that she wanted to get the gold leaves, the palace goddess reluctantly took another box from the cabinet and said, "This is the only amount left in the palace."

At first, all the gold leaves left in the palace were awarded to other meritorious officials, but now these are the only ones left in the palace.

Empress Changsun asked: "Send these gold leaves to Lishan Mountain and say that they were given to the child by the emperor and his mother."

The palace maid took the box with both hands and bowed.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "My father, the emperor, granted Zhang Yang's son the title of Marquis of Guanxi."

Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Father, it was just a whim."

Li Yuan's words were just words. They were just words without any intention.

How can this Marquis of Guanxi be given so easily? This requires absolutely high military merit. During the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu's time, even Li Gan followed Huo Qubing to conquer King Zuoxian, but he only got a Guannei Marquis with the lowest rank.

Liehou was the highest title granted to ministers with different surnames in the Han Dynasty. The Marquis of Guannei was the Marquis of Wei Qing and Changping back then, with a settlement of more than 10,000 households.

Those are all honors reserved for civil servants and generals with outstanding merits.

Zhang Yang's daughter is just a princess. Zhang Xin'an has just been born, so we must not set such a precedent.

Li Shimin had no intention of issuing a decree at all, but simply said: "Take a message to Lishan that his son Zhang Xin'an can enter the Imperial College to study at the age of eight."

"Here."

The prince bowed down to deliver the message.

In Lishan, Zhang Yang glanced inside the house and saw that his wife had fallen into a deep sleep, and her aunt was taking care of her.

Giving birth to this son took almost all her strength, and now was the time when she needed to rest.

Taking out two jars of wine from the house, it was natural to celebrate the birth of the child, even though Zhang Yang wanted to be with his wife and child at this time.

There are so many elders in the village, and they always have to deal with it.

Food and wine were prepared by the Huaqing Pool, and Zhang Gongjin and Ouyang Xun both came.

"Teacher, Mr. Ouyang, please take your seat quickly."

Ouyang Xun's beard and hair are all white now, but he is also full of energy, giving people the feeling of an immortal.

The teacher was helped up the mountain by bodyguard Li Tai. He helped the teacher sit down. Everyone also sat down and started drinking.

Ouyang Xun looked at Li Yuan who was sitting in the seat with confusion, "The Emperor wants to make that child the Marquis of Guanxi?"

Li Yuan nodded and said solemnly: "That's natural."

Zhang Gongjin also smiled helplessly, how could it be so easy to become the Marquis of Guannei, let alone a newborn child.

Seeing Li Tai chewing on a duck leg, Li Yuan said again: "Qingque is now seventeen. It's time to think about getting married."

Dongyang and Gaoyang obediently poured drinks for the elders in front of them. Li Lizhi said at the side: "Grandpa Huang, Qingque is only seventeen now. The rules of Lishan are that all children of Lishan or disciples of Lishan will be here soon."

You have to be twenty years old to get married."

Seeing Li Yuan looking at him, Zhang Yang raised his glass and said: "There is indeed such a rule. This is all for the sake of making our children in Lishan stronger and for the sake of future generations."

Seeing Li Yuan's displeased look, Li Xiaogong added: "Zhang Yang is also a child who has worked hard. In the past two years, none of the children born in Lishan have had dystocia or premature death. It is also thanks to this rule. Look at Lishan

Our children are still stronger than those from other villages and counties.”

Li Yuan then nodded and said no more words.

Everyone at the banquet was very happy. After all, Li Xiaogong loved to make fun of Li Tai. After all, the only man left was Li Tai.

It would be the best if there was a happy event every year, and it would be the happiest for everyone.

Li Lizhi said again: "Grandpa Huang can't drink anymore, so let's drink tea."

Li Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "Yue'er gave birth to a son. I said I won't come back until I get drunk."

Hearing this, Li Lizhi said sternly: "I have given up drinking for so many years, and allowing Grandpa Huang to drink three bowls is the greatest grace. Doctor Sun has told me not to get drunk."

Seeing Li Yuan's face sinking, Li Xiaogong slapped the table again and said: "You have to bear the filial piety of your granddaughter. If you live a few more years, you should look after your grandson. It would be best if your granddaughters are all married."

After such persuasion, Li Yuan wanted to drink again but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only put down the tea bowl and drink the tea.

The banquet did not break up until the afternoon, and Zhang Yang saw off the elders down the mountain.

The only ones left were Li Xiaogong and Li Tai.

Li Tai asked curiously: "Uncle, do you really want to plant three hundred acres of grapes?"

Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "That's natural. The more grapes, the better."

Even he, the King of Hejian County, rarely has the opportunity to eat fresh grapes every year. Even if he does, it is a reward from His Majesty. The more he can grow, the better.

Li Tai whispered: "Can the emperor's field grow grapes?"

First he looked up at the sky, then Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves and said worriedly: "It's almost July, and it's too late to plant grapes now. You can plant some other crops to nourish the land first, and then consider planting grapes next year."

He sighed again and patted Li Xiaogong on the shoulder, "Prince Hejian County, there is nothing we can do about it as the season has passed. There are only a few months of sufficient sunshine in Guanzhong. We will plant grapes next year."

Li Xiaogong looked unconcerned, "It doesn't matter, I can wait. I heard Shangguan Yi said that the price of food will drop again this year, right?"

"Well, I have already written a memorial to the court. Taifu Temple only has the right to report it. As for the power of disposal, it can only be left to the court."

Hearing this, Li Tai said in surprise: "How much will it fall?"

Zhang Yang sat on the stone steps, looking up at the clear sky, "I made some estimates, and it will probably fall to four cents a dou, or it may be even lower than I expected. If we want to control the price of food,

, we can only change the grain proportion structure."

"In the future, it is best to encourage a variety of wheat. I have read the archives of Taifu Temple in previous years. In fact, the wheat harvest is very stable, and all parts of Guanzhong are suitable for wheat. There are many kinds of yellow rice in the north, and they are mostly eaten with porridge or cakes. I

I think the north can use a variety of sorghum, and the planting of yellow rice can be appropriately reduced."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In this way, sorghum can also make wine, thus increasing the value of the land."

Zhang Yang drew squares on the ground and said, "Prince Hejian, please look at these fields. If millet is four dollars per dou, then one acre of land can produce up to three hundred kilograms of millet."

, based on the price of four qian per dou, the benefits that can be generated from one acre of land are only about three shi. I dare to ask how much profit it can bring.”

Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "But millet is easy to grow."

The prince of Hejian County did not understand, but Li Tai understood the key point as soon as he heard it, and said: "The emperor didn't know something," the Qinchuan land in the past was not as fertile as it is now, and planting millet can indeed be fruitful.

, but now Lishan can grow so much wheat, and the wheat harvest from one acre of land is about twice that of millet, and wheat is easier to store than millet."

"The land is divided into fertile and poor. Many places in Guanzhong have chosen millet. As long as they are planted, there will be more or less harvests. But once the grain declines, those who grow millet will suffer in the end."

Li Xiaogong scratched his head and said, "Wait a minute! Shut up first."

Li Tai talked too much, and Li Xiaogong couldn't digest it. He frowned and thought, "So, as long as you grow grapes, you can make a fortune. Growing millet on an acre of land will definitely lose money, but if you can use it all

Growing grapes, one acre of land is definitely profitable.”

An acre of millet may only cost about 100 yuan, but an acre of grapes may earn several thousand yuan, so the comparison becomes clear.

After saying that, Li Xiaogong stood up and lifted his belt, "I'll leave this matter to Shangguan Yi."

Zhang Yang and Li Tai watched him leave. Li Xiaogong was such a person. He didn't like to complicate things. He could accept it if he simplified things to the extent that he could understand.

Anyway, the grape business is definitely profitable, which is also good for Taifu Temple. To cultivate crops, you need experimental fields. Now that he has 300 acres of land as experimental fields, Taifu Temple can flex its muscles.

Things that benefited both sides hit it off immediately. Nowadays, grain is being harvested everywhere in Guanzhong, and the land where grain is grown is also left uncultivated.

After a long time, Li Tai also stood up and said, "Drinking with elders is the most unpleasant thing. I will find a place to drink in silence."

Zhang Yang warned: "It's better to drink less."

"Brother-in-law, there is no need to send him off." Li Tai waved his hand and said, "The elders are all urging me to get married as soon as possible. Chu Mo is not married yet, so how can they be worried about me."

When it comes to setting examples among friends, if one example is not good, the others that follow will also be bad.

Chu Mo is older than Li Tai, and Chu Mo is not married yet, so Li Tai naturally takes it calmly.

The three people back then are all grown up now, and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Zhang Yang returned home, his younger brothers and sisters were clearing away the dishes. They were particularly sensible today.

Walking into the house, Li Yue woke up from her sleep. She weakly sat up from the bed and asked, "Grandpa Huang and the others are all gone?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, they're all gone."

"I just slept for a while, and I had a lot of dreams." Li Yue looked at the newborn child. His nose was very strong when he breathed.

"You are just too weak to sleep well. Just calm down and take good care of yourself. When your body is well taken care of, we will go out for a walk and go to other places along the Weishui River to see what we have in Chang'an."

small home."

Li Yue smiled softly, "Well, it's been a long time since I've been to our little home in Chang'an and Qujiang Pool."

Now the new home is in Lishan, but the small home in Chang'an City is where the couple started, as well as Qujiang Pool.

After all, Chang'an City is the place where two people met and where they got to know each other.

There is a different kind of feeling there, as if after experiencing many major events in life, one always returns to the very beginning.

Aunt Wang brought medicinal materials and a palace maid.

This maid was sent by the Queen, she was holding a box, "Your Majesty and the Queen learned that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the County Marquis had a son, and asked the slave to send these gold leaves. She also said that Her Royal Highness would come to visit the Princess in a few days.

"

Li Yue couldn't stand up to salute now, so Zhang Yang took the small box and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Queen."

The maid was by the queen's side. She bowed politely and left.

When I opened the box, I saw pieces of gold leaves, a lot of them.

Zhang Yang placed it beside the table. There was no shortage of money in the family. Previously, Xiao Qingqing was given night pearls in the palace when he was born. Now that his son was born, gold leaves were given to the family.

"Your father is not stingy anymore."

"These gold leaves are from the mother's harem, probably because of the mother's wishes."

The matter of his son becoming the Marquis of Guanxi is nothing unexpected. If Li Shimin really made a newborn child the Marquis of Guanxi, that would be a real surprise.

After all, this matter was just a verbal ban on the Supreme Emperor.

In the 10th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin announced that he would build Lingyan Pavilion and bestow honors on the founding officials, but he never made any other honors.

It will be very difficult to get rewards in the future.

Zhang Xin'an has just been born, and the era he has to face may be very different from now.

"When my son becomes sensible, he will have to face a whole new era. The Marquis of Guanxi is not a rare thing in our family."

Li Yue smiled and said: "I don't know what the world will be like when he grows up. Just stay safe and have peace of mind!"

She whispered to the infant child, and then called, "Peace of mind! Peace of mind..."

I feel at ease and at ease. With this name, I don’t know what kind of life the child will have in the future.

The children of Lishan are all very noble. Xiao Qingqing is only two years old now and is already too shrewd to handle, let alone this child.

Li Yue didn't like her children to be bound by the royal family. His father had decreed that Xiao Qingqing would become the queen's disciple when he was five years old.

And this son will go to the Imperial College to study at the age of eight.

The royal family is thinking about these two children all the time.

"My child, I want you to be safe in the future."

Zhang Yang saw what she was thinking, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Xiao Qingqing sat on the small bench and told Xiong Da, Xiong Er and Xiong Three in front of her: "I have a younger brother. You must protect your younger brother in the future. Do you hear me?"

Xiong Da sat very upright, Xiong Er and Xiong Three did not sit like that, let alone Xiong Four, Xiong Wu, and Xiong Six. They all knew how to eat and sleep after eating.

Xiao Qingqing rode Xiong Da into her mother's bedroom. Xiong Da smelled Zhang Xin'an carefully, and then lay down on the ground, as if he had memorized his smell.

This is like a ritual, it has another little master.

Xiao Qingqing was very happy to have her younger brother. She felt that she finally had someone she could control.

"When will my brother grow up?" she asked anxiously.

"He is growing up every day, and he will be the same as the little master in two years." Aunt Wang stood aside with a smile.

Xiao Qingqing rode the bear out of the bedroom again, and then came the sound of her scolding the cubs.

Aunt Wang added: "This child is becoming more and more greedy. If he is not controlled, he will become fat in the future."

Li Yue nodded and said, "Auntie, please keep an eye on me."

Aunt Wang helped her sit up, "Her Royal Highness the Princess was raised by her parents, so she might as well take care of one or two more children."
