It doesn’t matter if the young ones don’t worry about it, and the old ones don’t worry about it either.
Zhang Yang also sat down and said helplessly: "I heard that Your Majesty has not yet resigned?"
Li Xiaogong covered his face in pain, "What's the use of admonishing and interceding until His Majesty is defeated?"
He took a deep breath and suddenly faced the sky, saying sadly: "Brother Shen Tong, you left early. Look at what our brothers have become like now. Everyone in the clan is living in fear."
He continued talking to himself, "Back then, you told me to take care of my brothers. Now that you are gone, the third brother Daoxuan died in the battle in Hebei, and the fourth brother Daozong is now going to be exiled."
"Brother! A certain family is sorry for you!"
As he spoke, Li Xiaogong became more and more excited and stood up to leave.
Zhang Yang quickly stopped him, "What are you going to do?"
Seeing his age, Li Xiaogong even sniffed, "Go and see the rope on the beam of a certain family. If Tao Zong is good at it, the certain family will not be able to live anymore. We can only go and see the magical brother underground."
.”
In the early Tang Dynasty, the four generals of the clan, Li Shentong, had left, and Li Daoxuan also died in Hebei. Only two of the majestic four generals of the clan were left.
Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong are also representatives of the clan. Apart from Li Shimin, they have the greatest say in the clan.
From Li Xiaogong's point of view, everyone has nothing to say about the Xuanwu Sect. If you, Li Shimin, had some conscience, at worst, you should take away Li Daozong's military power, confiscate his property, and hand over his title. You should not be demoted to a commoner, let alone
Li Daozong was exiled.
You can't hide from right and wrong. It's not easy to live well in the Tang Dynasty...
Zhang Yang sighed and beckoned: "Please tell Prince Hejian County what happened to General Li Daozong."
"Okay." Li Xiaogong put on a smile on his face and walked up the stone steps in three steps and two steps at a time.
Talking about the causes and consequences of Li Daozong's corruption.
After being named the Prince of Jiangxia County, people in the clan congratulated Li Daozong one after another, but Li Daozong was usually low-key and kind to others.
I don’t know if Li Daozong drank too much, but a family member of a military general sent him money, hoping to get some care from him.
Afterwards, Li Daozong did collect the money, and there were three coins in total.
It's just that this matter was reported to someone in the end for some unknown reason, and that's what happened today.
A clan general would value the petty profit of three thousand dollars?
This matter is abnormal no matter how you look at it. Furthermore, Zhang Yang is more willing to believe that Li Daozong committed suicide in order to protect himself.
Li Xiaogong also did this back then.
How do you think this routine is familiar to you?
Why is this Tang Dynasty such a mess?
Speaking of the brothers of the Tang Dynasty, they were all heroes galloping on the battlefield.
If you make a mistake outside, if you can close the door and talk, we will still be good brothers.
Zhang Yang felt that his IQ would drop rapidly if he talked to Li Xiaogong.
Such a simple thing was almost confused by the emotional words of the Hejian County Prince.
"Prince Hejian, please wait here for a moment."
"What are you going to do?"
"Just wait."
As Zhang Yang spoke, he hurried to his study room, rummaged through the drawings and found the diagram of the Divine Arm Bow. He handed it to the Prince of Hejian County as soon as he left the house.
Li Xiaogong asked suspiciously: "What is this painting?"
"Illustration of the Divine Arm Bow. Princess Changle has had the Divine Arm Bow sent to the palace, but the illustration has never been sent. With this object, the court can make as many Divine Arm Bows as it wants."
"God's Arm Bow? What an awesome name."
"It sounds really powerful, and it works really well too."
Li Xiaogong nodded repeatedly, "After he escapes, the clan owes you a great favor, and the people in the clan will definitely repay you generously in the future."
Zhang Yanggang wanted to say no, but Prince Hejian was no longer where he was. His figure flew away like a gust of wind and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The sound of younger brothers and sisters reading came from behind, and Xiaohui was teaching them to read the Analects of Confucius.
In the greenhouse, the vegetable seedlings were growing well. Zhang Yang frowned and looked at the pumpkin vines. The green leaves had many yellow spots, which was a sign of insufficient light.
Zhang Yang wrote to record the growth of crops.
Only onions and garlic grow best, and spinach is also good.
After recording this, Zhang Yang made today's statistics sheet. This thin book recorded the status of crops every day.
Then write down the date: the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather: light snow turning overcast, and the location: Lishan Greenhouse.
After recording these, turn the page and walk down the mountain.
Not only do we need to do crop statistics in the greenhouse on the mountain, but we also need to do crop statistics down the mountain.
There are five vegetable plots in the village, the two most important of which are on a high ground by the Wei River. The other scattered ones are left to their own devices. The prince of Hejian County also planted a vegetable plot in his backyard. The Supreme Emperor also cultivated a vegetable field for himself.
Unknowingly, the villagers have now begun to grow vegetables. This driving effect is still very obvious. Even if they do not grow vegetables, every household will grow some onions and garlic.
Because the princess and the magistrate liked onions and garlic, everyone also liked them.
Shangguan Yi, wearing a bamboo hat, stood by the vegetable field and carefully inspected the condition of the vegetable field.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming, he took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Marquis of the County, this cabbage's cold resistance is better than expected."
The growth of the cabbage looks very gratifying, and it tastes even more delicious after the frost.
Zhang Yang looked at the cabbage patch aside, "Huh? The cabbage is not growing well."
Shangguan Yi took out his file, "But there are also several families in Weinan County who grow cabbage, and they say it's growing very well. I went to see it two days ago, and it's better than the one we have in Lishan."
Zhang Yang rubbed the stubble on his chin, "Hmm? The pH of the soil shouldn't be bad. It's also sandy soil, so there shouldn't be any problems."
After thinking about it again, Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, "It should be because of the humidity."
Shangguan Yi thought: "Is it because the snow makes the soil too wet?"
"Let someone build a grass reed here another day. When it snows, put hay on the grass reed. When the weather is sunny, open the hay here to let them sizzle more."
Shangguan Yi nodded and wrote down these words.
The two walked in the fields together, whispering about the current arrangements. Shangguan Yi continued: "Every household is short of vegetables in winter. Many towns and counties want some seedlings and seeds. Do you want to give them to them?"
"
"Why weren't there so many people before?"
"Those towns and counties originally agreed verbally. In the summer, they were focused on their own food and were distracted from growing vegetables. Now in winter, they only think about growing some vegetables."
Shangguan Yi explained along the way, "But judging from the officials below, even if they get the seeds now, they will still want to grow food when the next spring comes."
Zhang Yang stopped and looked at the snow getting heavier and heavier, "How about the three hundred acres of land owned by Prince Hejian?"
Shangguan Yi replied: "I am planting some spinach and cabbage. Because the vegetable fields were opened late, they have not improved yet. I don't know if they can grow in the cold winter. If they can grow before the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month, they will be able to grow before spring."
Sell them all."
Now Shangguan Yi always carries a book bag whenever he goes out, even in the village, so that he can take out his files and pens anytime and anywhere.
It feels a bit like the shoulder bag of later generations.
There are more and more things going on in Lishan, and it is indeed time to arrange some convenient work tools.
Thinking of it as welfare, Zhang Yang had a plan in mind. After returning to the mountain, he started to organize and seek some welfare for the backbone of Lishan Mountain.
Along with the book bag that can hold books, there is also a stationery bag, and then a tool bag, and some more gloves, hats, aprons, and boots.
These are not difficult to do, and they can be put to use by everyone once they are ready for construction next year.
Zhang Yang sat in his study writing and drawing, thinking about the schoolbags and pencil cases of future generations.
"County Marquis, Minister Cen has come to Lishan. He is at the wine shop. He said he would like to see the County Marquis to ask about the land plan." Aunt Wang came in a hurry.
"Just ask Shangguan Yi. I've been very busy recently."
"Well, let's go and answer the question."
Zhang Yang had finished drawing the appearance of the book bag. Children were laughing outside the room, and not long after, a little head poked over.
As soon as my son learned to walk, he came to disturb his father's work.
Zhang Yang picked him up and put him in the cradle, and continued busy with the things at hand.
Two days later, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong came to Lishan. The two brothers wanted to have a good drink.
Today, Li Daozong looks haggard and spends all day and night kneeling in the ancestral temple.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank the Marquis of Lishan County for my escape this time." Li Daozong held the wine bowl.
"I treat him like my own nephew. He is also a sensible child. He usually doesn't care about other people's kindness. He is only willing to help if I step forward."
After finishing a bowl of wine, Li Xiaogong took out a piece of spinach from the hot pot and put it into his mouth, eating it happily.
Not long after, Li Tai also came. He shook off the snow on his body and said, "The emperor said he would wait for me, so why did he eat it first?"
Li Xiaogong smiled heartily, "How can I wait for you with good wine, good food, and good meat?"
Li Tai took off his greasy gloves. After another busy day in the factory, he was covered in sweat after standing next to the steam engine for several hours. While washing his hands, he said: "Uncle Huang, just stand next to the steam engine.
It’s very warm, and it’s more enjoyable to sweat a little in this cold winter.”
After that, he sat down without any courtesy, poured himself a bowl of wine, and started eating.
Seeing Li Taiguang eating vegetables instead of the meat in the pot, Li Daozhong asked in confusion: "Qingque, isn't it to your liking?"
Still chewing vegetables, Li Tai replied: "To tell you the truth, uncle, I haven't eaten meat recently because I want to lose weight."
Li Daozong sighed: "If there is no meat to eat, how boring will life be?"
Li Tai waved his hand and explained: "I eat occasionally, but not much."
Li Daozong put down the chopsticks in his hand, "If it weren't for his divine arm bow, I might have been taken to the dungeon by now."
It has been a long time since Li Tai went to Chang'an City, and he often heard about what happened in the palace. He couldn't help but laugh, "Fortunately, my uncle is fine. My father wants to build the Daming Palace. People who are smart know not to take the lead in admonishing easily."
, it means that this prince is a coward, and he has become more and more alive after so many years."
Li Daozong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has put aside the matter of Daming Palace for the time being and will not mention it again in the future."
Li Tai spread his hands and said, "The prince is the only one who doesn't know anything."
Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong also watched Cheng Qian and Qing Que grow up. The two brothers had always been at odds with each other.
Speaking of this matter, Li Daozong whispered, "It's strange to say that the prince wanted to advise His Majesty, but the princess kept trying to persuade the prince not to participate in the courtiers' advice. Afterwards, the queen went to the East Palace and said:
The princess is even more satisfied."
Li Tai rolled his eyes with some doubts in his eyes.
After drinking the wine, Li Xiaogong said with a naive smile: "Daozong, you don't need to ask Zhang Yang to thank you, it's just a simple effort for him."
"Your Majesty interviewed the Divine Arm Bow. It is said to have been sent by Lishan. He didn't want to shoot it two hundred paces away."
Li Xiaogong scratched his head, "I didn't think so much at the time. Is this thing really so powerful?"
Li Daozong nodded solemnly, "But after His Majesty got the Divine Arm Bow, he had the army copy it."
"Such a powerful weapon! Of course it must be copied by the military."
Li Daozong drank the wine in the bowl and said, "A certain family owes Zhang Yang a huge favor. If he orders a certain family in the future, he will be obliged to do so."
The two of them were enjoying themselves while drinking wine. Li Tai didn't want to disturb them too much, so he simply took a few sips of wine and left.
Li Shimin waited until he got the diagram of the Divine Arm Bow and first put Li Daozong back. Then the decree came. Li Daozong's land was confiscated and his military power was taken away. He retained his title and could only be an idle clan king in Jiangxia County.
.
It is a good thing to build good relationships, but Zhang Yang didn't like others to keep owing favors until His Majesty's decree came down. When he learned that the matter was settled, he began to plan the royal family's property in Guanzhong.
I was planning where to plant radishes and cabbages so that the work of Taifu Temple could be carried out better. At this time, another person came from the palace. It was none other than the old acquaintance of the palace, Eunuch Wang.
Today's prince looks much better than before, but his hair is already full of white.
Zhang Yang warmly invited him to sit down by the Huaqing Pool.
The prince felt warm in his heart. After so many years, the county prince was still the same. Maybe some people would treat the eunuch indifferently or even harshly because of the eunuch's lack of mercy from the dignitaries or the princess in the palace.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace, and life in the palace is ruthless and unjust.
The magistrate was as enthusiastic as ever. The salted duck eggs and a basket of vegetables were placed in front of him. The salted duck eggs were placed on top of the vegetables, as well as a small bag of this year's newly harvested wheat.
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "The county prince does not need to give the old slave so much."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You're welcome, Eunuch Wang, these are some common things and not worth much money. You haven't been here for so long, so they were originally prepared for you."
"His Majesty has a decree to ask whether he can create another night sky phenomenon around Chang'an City after the twelfth lunar month has passed."
"It's possible, but the manpower and material resources required also cost money."
"How much money is needed? The county marquis can tell you directly."
Zhang Yang poured tea for him and said, "I will write down the name and send it to the court. Just send it to me along the way."
The prince took a sip of tea and said: "I heard your Majesty talking to Xu Jingzong today and said that the Persian war report has been delivered."
