It is hateful to deceive people's hearts. Just like Monk Xuanzang thinks that all people in the world are miserable, he thinks that everything in Buddhism is beautiful.
He feels that only taking refuge can liberate the world, and for him, everyone in the world should be like him, and only by chanting sutras and eating fast can they live a happy life.
Zhang Yang continued to make fireworks. In fact, making fireworks didn't require much material. The emperor was quite generous. He provided three loads of saltpeter, five loads of charcoal, and the rest came in buckets one after another. It was enough to make thousands of earth mines.
More can be saved.
The couple at home are very busy. Li Yue is still discussing business plans with Xu Hui. Wuxing County is a wealthy place. According to their vision, they want to expand the industry. A new business philosophy is in their imagination.
Draw it out.
Taking Lishan as the starting point is a bit like controlling Jiangnan.
This was a very avant-garde idea in the Tang Dynasty, because the conflict between the tea tree business and the Jiangnan noble families began this autumn.
Naturally, Li Yue couldn't watch Xu Hui being bullied in Chashan, so she thought of controlling a prominent family in Jiangnan.
It was a very avant-garde and bold idea. Zhang Yang came out of the workshop and walked to the laboratory, and he just heard about it.
The wife's brows were furrowed, Xiao Hui also had a solemn look on her face, Zhang Yang passed by the two of them and walked straight into the laboratory.
When the laboratory door is closed, it becomes dark and the whole room is closed.
The original recipes for flintlock guns and earth mines were experimented here.
Zhang Yang put the propellant of the fireworks into a pit, lit it, and heard an explosion inside. A stone was blown up, and he knew how high it would go.
I haven't set off fireworks for a long time, and Lishan hasn't seen fireworks in two years. I feel that my skills are rusty, so I came to test the recipe.
Different materials have different formula ratios.
The saltpeter Li Shimin used was not as good as what he had used before, so he had to use more saltpeter in the preparation.
This is just like salt from different places, the texture is different, the saltiness is different, and the amount used is also different.
Freezing rain fell again in the overcast sky, and the rustling sound of rain was very comforting.
Zhang Yang came out of the laboratory with his experimental records and saw that the conversation between his wife and Xiaohui had ended.
"I just saw you looking very solemn when you were talking. Did you encounter something difficult?"
I asked tentatively, waiting for my wife's reaction.
Li Yue looked at the scroll in his hand and replied: "It's about the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "So that's it."
After saying that, he walked away, Li Yue looked a little unhappy.
After only listening to it for a while, Zhang Yang felt that since she and Xiaohui secretly used the official seal of Taifu Temple, he should have an attitude of watching a show.
My wife is no longer a child, and the family is not what it used to be.
The life between husband and wife is like this, a simple life with occasional games.
Will she beg for mercy?
Zhang Yang changed the proportions of the mixture again, walked past her with a bamboo firecracker, and then walked into the laboratory to test the power of this formula.
When he came out again, Li Yue was still sitting in his original position, his eyes blazing.
Zhang Yang turned a blind eye and walked past her again.
Zhang Yang was very busy with the fireworks on New Year's Eve, and the two pandas at home enjoyed themselves happily gnawing on bamboo branches.
There is no inventory of fireworks at home, and it is impossible to keep them in stock.
The storage environment of this thing is very important. If the storage environment is not good, it will easily misfire when it is damp. If it is not managed well, it may blow up the house.
Therefore, it is best for things like fireworks to be made and used at any time. Even if they are stored at all times, they can only store raw materials.
The freezing rain fell for three or two days this winter, and frozen soil formed in the fields. Whenever the freezing rain in Guanzhong continues, it means that many livestock in the north and northwest will freeze to death.
This year, Li Shimin dismissed six generals of the clan, no matter how big or small.
This year, after the Wei Mansion was restructured into Zhe Chong Mansion, Li Shimin adjusted the generals in commanding armies in various places, and many old generals were also replaced.
In this year, Li Shimin's imperial examination system had become famous in the Central Plains, and more and more people came to Chang'an City.
This year, the population of Chang'an City reached two million, and the old Chang'an City was overwhelmed. Under Li Shimin's instruction, Prince Li Chengqian and the Ministry of Industry presided over the renovation of Chongde Square.
This year, the officials in the court left one after another. As more and more fresh blood came to the court that insisted on the imperial examinations over the years, there were more and more young ministers in the court, such as Zhang Daan, Pei Xingjian, and Li Yifu.
Led by the many achievements that he is famous for, more and more young people began to rush to the court.
Today, there is a new face in the court. The old and new dispute between the Qin Palace and the Wude Dynasty has gradually taken on a new situation. This is the young force headed by Xu Jingzong and the powerful children maintained by Changsun Wuji.
A new series of struggles.
In this year, Li Shimin reorganized the clan and frightened his relatives. Changsun Wuji gave in at this juncture. With the governance strategy of Goguryeo advocated by Xu Jingzong and others in the Ministry of Rites, he finally deposed the king of Goguryeo and became the last king of Goguryeo.
From now on, common people, the affairs of their hometown have nothing to do with him. They have lived in Chang'an City for a long time. From now on, there will be no princes in Goguryeo.
This year, there were more than sixty envoys who came to congratulate Da'an, including people from Tianzhu, Dashiren, envoys from the new King of Persia, and envoys from small frontier countries north of Lake Baikal.
It is the northern part of the Central Plains known as the North Sea.
After eleven years of the Zhenguan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty now takes on a new look and announces to the world that the land of the Central Plains has changed.
When Zhang Yang is busy making fireworks, people will also visit him.
After washing his hands, he took off the mask that covered his mouth and nose, then took his apron, changed his clothes, and went to meet Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong who were waiting at the entrance of the village.
Now Li Yifu has become Xu Jingzong's follower, clinging tightly to the lap of the Minister of Rites, intending to rise rapidly.
It may be difficult to take this upward road, but it is always progress.
Entering the Zhongshu Province, compiling the annals of history, and becoming a Jinshi are the ideals of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the goals that many people strive for.
This goal may be long-term or short-term.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Long time no see, you look much better now."
Xu Jingzong bowed and said: "I'm sorry for the county marquis. I've been taking medicine recently. At this age, I'm really ill. In the future, the Ministry of Rites will have to rely more on the county marquis' guidance. Oh! By the way, the Yifu brothers are here too.
.”
Facing this legendary county prince, Li Yifu always lowered his head.
This county prince who single-handedly established the Diplomatic Academy is an enigmatic figure. It is said that he also helps His Majesty raise the prince, and is the most famous leader in Chang'an City.
Seizing every opportunity to climb up has been Li Yifu's life principle. He bowed and said: "County Marquis, the director of the Hongwen Hall is really a villain. That day, Xianguan and Xu Shangshu beat him up and didn't want him."
But he flattered Duke Zhao and had three or two more guards around him."
As he spoke, Li Yifu's expression gradually became filled with righteous indignation and he continued: "Zhao Guogong actually protected such a villain. The subordinates can't stand it. They have already prepared a memorial to impeach him when he comes to the court next year."
This showed his loyalty, and Xu Jingzong was very satisfied. This Yifu brother was really a talented person.
As for the so-called team, Li Yifu stood firmly on the side of the Ministry of Rites and on the opposite side of Zhao Guogong.
Zhang Yang looked at the human cat in front of him and said with a smile: "Zhao Guogong is an old man from the Prince of Qin's palace. In terms of qualifications, you cannot compare with him. In terms of ability, now that Zhao Guogong is in charge of Zhongshu Province, you are no match for him.
You should have respect in your heart and should not be biased."
Li Yifu said quickly: "The county marquis is right. It was precisely because the official respected Duke Zhao before and later found out that Duke Zhao was this kind of person behind his back that he was so upset. The official thought Duke Zhao was a gentleman and the pillar of the country."
When the words came to this point, Li Yifu thought for a moment and said: "The lower officials will state in the impeachment memorial that Zhao Guogong should take state affairs as his own responsibility instead of forming cliques in the court."
From the perspective of righteousness, even a sage can criticize, and his attitude is very clear, first of all, expectations, and then criticism.
Even the impeachment memorial is so high-level, this Li Yifu is really a treacherous person.
Although the way of humans and cats is still superficial, there are vague signs of success.
With such people as his opponents, Zhang Yang was worried about Changsun Wuji's sleep quality. When Zhao Guogong couldn't sleep because of Li Yi's mansion, he would secretly send someone to strangle the man-cat to death. From then on, the Tang Dynasty lost a sycophant.
Is this a good thing?
At this moment, Li Yifu had no idea what the county prince in front of him was thinking, nor did he know what kind of monster this county prince was, or what his fate would be like in the hands of the county prince.
Xu Jingzong smiled: "At first, it was because the head of the Hongwen Hall took away the manpower of our Rites Department, so there was a conflict. Unexpectedly, it was originally a matter between the Hongwen Hall and the Rites Department, but Zhao Guogong also came to participate."
Fortunately, Duke Zhao has a nemesis.
The freezing rain stopped, but the weather was still bitingly cold. The shoes of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were still covered in mud from the official road.
Seeing the county magistrate looking at his feet, Li Yifu quickly took out a piece of silk and wiped the mud off the soles of his shoes.
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "Brothers from Yifu don't have to do this."
Li Yifu saluted repeatedly, "Please rest assured, Marquis of the County, no matter what happens in the court, I will not bring mud to Lishan Mountain. Just like the soles of your feet now, you must wipe them clean before coming to Lishan Mountain."
After finishing his words of loyalty, Xu Jingzong said: "The county prince, the Nanzhao envoy talked about the bandits again. The bandits have taken over more than ten villages, and now have more than a thousand men, and even shot
He raised the banner of King Nanzhao as a tyrant, and many people responded at once. If this continues, the position of King Nanzhao will probably be replaced."
Zhang Yang calculated that Nanzhao was just a little bigger now, and that group of bandits already numbered nearly a thousand people? With a thousand soldiers and horses and some military strategies for marching and fighting, it would be just around the corner for Brother He to capture Nanzhao?
King Nanzhao is a tyrant? Isn't it said that he is a very laid-back man? He spends his time either teasing elephants or marrying several beautiful concubines.
Whether you are a tyrant or not, it doesn't matter what you say, only what others say. This plan is really powerful to attack the heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw General Li Jing looking at him in the distance.
Zhang Yang lowered his voice and said, "Has anyone sent a witness?"
Xu Jingzong nodded, "Yes, I mentioned this at the beginning of the year. This year, the Nanzhao envoy did bring a witness, but he was not from Guanzhong, but from Nanzhao."
Nanzhao's geographical location is between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The products there are very rich, and the climate characteristics also make Nanzhao a high-yield area of grain.
Coupled with its rich mineral resources, especially copper mines, it is one of the largest copper mines in the Central Plains.
Nanzhao had such good resources, but being held in the hands of a Nanzhao king made Zhang Yang feel uncomfortable no matter what he thought.
"The county lord, the Nanzhao envoy has been waiting for a reply."
Zhang Yang frowned and said: "Not to mention helping Nanzhao quell the chaos, but also passing through Shu Road, which is not easy."
"Yes, it's easier said than done."
Xu Jingzong and Zhang Yang sighed together. The Ministry of Rites did not want to take care of Nanzhao's troubles. It was too late to plot against Nanzhao, let alone rush to help.
One is the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the current minister of the Ministry of Rites. The two of them are planning Nanzhao's family property, and they have never thought about rushing to help.
Anyone who can become the Minister of Rites is not a good person. The two Ministers of Rites during the Zhenguan Dynasty did a lot of bad things.
So the two of them sat on a stone in a tacit understanding. Xu Jingzong was wearing official uniform, and Zhang Yang was wearing ordinary old clothes.
Li Yifu stood aside and listened to the plans of the two most important people in the Ministry of Rites without saying a word.
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and asked, "It's strange, why did Monk Xuanzang write again?"
Xu Jingzong clicked his tongue and said: "This Monk Xuanzang is still evil. He sent a letter to Chang'an City and even spread rumors about his dismissal. This is unbearable. Where can the evidence come from that Monk Xuanzang said that he was sent by a lower official to seduce people?"
His Buddha mind.”
In fact, this incident was indeed done by Xu Jingzong, but Xu Jingzong's shameless nature would never admit it.
Zhang Yang said again: "Monk Xuanzang sent a letter to Lishan. He is very arrogant. How are you preparing for the things I asked you to arrange?"
"In order to handle this matter, Xiaguan often quarreled with his wife at home, and spent a lot of money to go to Pingkangfang to choose a girl. The women in Pingkangfang selected one by one, and finally selected the more suitable one. Xiaguan
The woman happily accepted the offer of a large sum of money, for a period of two years, and if it can be accomplished, she will be given the status of a beloved."
When Xu Jingzong talked about this matter, his face was filled with grievances. It was His Highness the King of Wei's request. How could he dare to be disrespectful? He said aggrievedly: "She is taught to wash and cook every day, and also teaches her to cultivate the land, and shows her how to do it."
Scripture, under such upbringing, she has become the best person to be Xuanzang's lover."
"It was only sent to me in early October this year. She should have just arrived in Dunhuang not long ago. She will be doing things outside the ashram in Dunhuang. If Xuanzang was not blind, he would definitely be attracted to that woman, which would disturb his heart."
Xu Jingzong looked gloomy and whispered: "When Xuanzang falls in that gentle village, if I tell him the truth, what will the county prince think?"
